Chapter 1155
For Underground Cemetery, returning to this world naturally means reclaiming the continent's king's authority that belongs to The King of Undead.
That is the most splendid crown of the continent, which The King of Undead personally took from the high and mighty dragon tribe during the divine era war.
Without The King of Undead's intervention, the humans who declared war on the dragon tribe would have been extinct long ago, and this continental crown is the only proof of a ruler recognized by the dragons.
The return of the king will naturally proclaim his sovereignty over the world.
Although The King of Undead is not particularly interested in ruling the world, otherwise he would not have abandoned all glory and hidden in the Underground Cemetery with the bodies of his friends, benefactors, and lovers.
However, when the Tower of Heaven rises and The King of Undead decides to fulfill his mission once again, it will be the day of the king's return.
The King of Undead is the greatest mystery on the side of humans, the strongest hero who single-handedly repelled the dragon tribe.
The black iron giant, Emerald Sea Dragon Beast, was sent out to declare to all the countries on the continent that a new era has arrived.
No matter which world, the truth that the strong are respected is universally accepted.
Due to its own strength, the Leviathan Empire can continuously invade and annex other countries.
In the decades since Emperor Ludwig XII vigorously developed science, the entire empire's territory has doubled.
Externally, they adopt brutal military invasions.
Internally, they suppress any dissenting voices in the name of the empire, demonstrating their firmness.
Opponents are all defeated, even if they were once friends or former lovers, Ludwig XII never stops his conquest.
The king of conquest.
The king of transformation.
The Iron-blooded King.
People called Ludwig XII by this name and praised him as the greatest conqueror in the history of the Leviathan Empire.
The soldiers of his empire's army have strong confidence in victory and will never surrender to any enemy.
Victory! Victory! Victory!
The whole Leviathan Empire is like a powerful machine bursting with energy, ruthlessly crushing and devouring countries that have not developed scientific technology.
In this process, the number of dead exceeds millions, and more than double-digit countries have fallen under the iron hooves of the Leviathan Empire's magic armor.
Even on the day the Emerald Sea Dragon Beast appeared in the central water vein of the empire, the empire's six titled machines still attacked the borders of other countries, executing the empire's war plan.
They would easily find a reason, such as the disappearance of border soldiers, and dare to advance into the enemy's country and occupy a stronghold, followed by the army that has already been prepared, rushing in.
Sometimes, they didn't even need a reason; they simply invaded directly.
The weak don't have the right to say "no".
The Leviathan Empire had to withdraw the titled machines responsible for the invasion mission until the Emerald Sea Dragon Beast appeared, to attack this unexpected ancient weapon.
In war, there is no right or wrong, only the distribution of interests.
Compared to the empire's methods, the War Dancer never harms civilians. Only causing trouble for the imperial army is already very gentle.
However, she couldn't have anticipated that in this era of declining magic tide, there would still be unexpected occurrences like Yun Xi.
Clearly, based on the intelligence gathered before the expedition, the whereabouts of the dragon clan have long been unknown in this era of declining magic tide.
The last sighting report of the dragons dates back a thousand years.
At this moment, the issue concerning the War Dancer is related to the Underground Cemetery and the future of the dragon clan.
Whether the former continent dominators, the world rulers known as the dragon clan, and the current continent king, the returning King of Undead, will reopen the world war or not.
These two forces represent the will at the top of the pyramid in Sia's world.
The King of Undead, the most mysterious incarnation of humans on Sia's side.
The dragon clan on Leviathan's side, the absolute ruler of the Leviathan faction.
If Yun Xi answers "yes" here, the divine era war will repeat, and the entire continent will be engulfed in flames.
"No... this is just my personal will." Yun Xi cannot make decisions on behalf of the dragon clan of this world.
He represents only himself, only the "Silver Dragon" Ashe.
"Are you the only dragon?" War Dancer looked at Yun Xi in disbelief.
Even during the divine era war, it would be suicidal for just one dragon to challenge the ultimate representation of the mysterious side of humans, The King of Undead, who resides in the Underground Cemetery.
"Yes, now I am the only one."
"But I have a promise to protect them," Yun Xi calmly replied to War Dancer's question, just not mentioning his mission to collect the Twelve Constellation Gods' Weapons.
"Do you ... have feelings for humans?" War Dancer felt like he had encountered a mentally unstable silver dragon.
How could the dragon clan like humans? That's impossible!
Both species have reproductive isolation!
No, wait, there seems to be a precedent for this. War Dancer remembered that during the divine era's ignorance period, there were actually humans from the golden ancient people who fell in love with dragons.
As the favored ones of Sia, the golden ancient people had the ability to mate and produce offspring with all creatures in the world, including dragons.
There are indeed legends of a few unions and offspring being born between humans and dragons during that time, and the relationship between the humans of that era and the dragon clan was actually quite good.
As the descendants of the golden ancient people, who were known as the golden ones, they were almost the only special beings recognized by dragons and allowed to be their equals.
Of course, at that time, the dragon clan could never have imagined that just twelve golden ancient people would eventually give rise to a whole new race, a race that would challenge the dragon clan's dominance and eventually even drive them out of the continent.
Compared to the long reproductive period of the dragon clan, humans can give birth to a new generation in just ten months, which is even more magical than magic itself. There is no other intelligent race in the whole world that can match humans in this aspect.
Even though the power of the golden bloodline keeps diluting, humans still manage to grow rapidly in a short amount of time due to their outstanding learning ability, ambition, and crucially, their fast reproduction speed.
On the other hand, the dragon clan remains unchanged, with the same strength, indifference, and arrogance. They only value the golden ancient people and disregard any other living beings in this world.
Humans who are able to like the dragon clan.
Dragons who are able to fall in love with humans.
Both sides are truly unique and abnormal, like rare gems among rare gems.
"I knew it, this is a shameless and lecherous silver dragon."
"Dancer, do you know that in the tower of this silver dragon, there are hundreds of girls who don't wear clothes bathing every day?"
"Even nine-year-old children are not spared by this foolish silver dragon!"
