Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 267 - 181: Gwen Returns, Faith of the All Gods_2

But in Noah’s eyes, a genius, someone whose talent is no less than her grandmother Gwendolin, obviously defines genius differently. By her standards, even globally, there are only a few who can be called geniuses.

"If I don’t meet one, it doesn’t matter, I have truth as my companion!"

The girl said nonchalantly. This is actually a common mindset among many high-rank mages. They don’t have much obsession with passing on their bloodline, that’s more of a noble’s mindset,

"Anyway, my brother has had plenty of children, and they are all very outstanding, so they are not lacking me."

"Outstanding? Ur doesn’t think so."

One person and one dragon conversed freely at Tidel’s coronation ceremony. Thanks to the soundproof barrier, their behavior didn’t seem impolite, but when they cast their gazes towards others, it made those being looked at especially tense.

Especially the few little ones, who looked about four or five years old, standing at the front of the coronation ceremony beside their mother.

When they noticed the Golden Holy Dragon perched beside the throne looking at them, each was extremely nervous. One little girl even couldn’t help but turn around and bury herself in her mother’s arms. Her mother, noticing the dragon’s gaze, hurriedly put on a somewhat flattering smile, appearing rather pitiful.

She wasn’t alone in this. The young and beautiful women beside her were the same. They all came from the same family, namely the royal family of the now-destroyed former United Kingdom.

The royal family perished with the kingdom. To put it bluntly, if it weren’t for the Augustus family still honoring the marriage agreement made initially, they wouldn’t even be able to keep their noble status. The current situation remains uncertain.

But even though the Augustus family kept their promise, without family support, even sitting in a position that thousands of women envied, becoming the almost-designated second wife of the Augustus family’s king, life was still tough.

Without family support and insufficient strength of their own, lacking enough confidence, there would be a feeling of living under someone else’s roof. Especially when their offspring did not receive their husband’s attention, or were even disliked, it became all the harder.

"Isn’t this already outstanding? What kind of child does he want?"

Upon hearing Noah’s words, Gwendolin looked particularly astonished.

Even with just a cursory glance, Gwen was sure that these little ones had extraordinary talents. Two of them could join the Star Tower directly without testing.

"He wants a genius, not inferior to his own genius."

Unlike Gwendolin, who measured genius by the achievements of the main family members, Ur chose to judge genius based on whether they inherited the Titan bloodline. Its difficulty is comparable to, if not exceeding, Gwen’s standard.

"He should be satisfied now."

Gwendolin’s eyes turned to a Silver Moon Elf standing alone at the front of the hall. She was one of the major attractions of the event, or rather, her child drew just as much attention as Tidel’s coronation.

"No, he’s angry, very furious. The birth of this child is pushed by the Elf God system, unrelated to him."

"This won’t do, that won’t either, what does he want?"

Gwendolin rolled her eyes,

"A natural demigod, what’s there to disdain? If it were me, I’d be overjoyed!"

"He wants a child like himself."

"An ignorant, backward noble mindset."

Gwendolin sharply criticized her brother.

"Elves don’t have any good intentions."

"Regardless of their intentions, the divine status and divinity they send are genuine. I even seem to feel divine power fluctuations, these are all treasures!

I’m planning to visit my little niece. By the way, Dragon Dad, if I apply to my father to be her enlightenment mentor, do you think he would agree?"

At this moment, Gwendolin had the look of a fox preparing to steal chickens; her ill intentions towards the divine powers were almost written on her face.

As a mage, how could one not be interested in divine power? Even if one can’t use it directly, there are countless ways to utilize it indirectly.

"I’m afraid not, not because he doesn’t approve, but because he’s already agreed to let me take this child."

Noah said leisurely.

"Oh, I knew I came back late; I should’ve come a few days earlier."

The girl let out a wail, but her spirit quickly perked up,

"But Dragon Dad, since you have custody, it doesn’t make much difference. Look at me, I won’t ask for a salary, I’ll mentor the little one for free, free!"

"Okay."

"Oh, did you agree just like that?"

Seeing Noah, who so readily agreed, Gwen was caught off guard.

"Do I have any reason to refuse you? You’re not an elf."

Noah glanced at her,

"The reason I asked Tidel for this child was just to sever the elves’ influence on her. No matter what, she has a legitimate right to the throne and cannot be left to foreign powers for education."

"But she has divinity, it’s troublesome. If the Elf Gods really have ill intentions, even if you cut off the Elf Court’s influence, she might eventually become something you don’t want to see."

Gwendolin frowned.

No matter how conceited a legendary mage might be, they wouldn’t underestimate even the weakest deity, much less when she’s not even legendary yet.

"Divinity is just divinity, not some insoluble curse."

Noah seemed unworried,

He had no reverence for deities, especially the Elf God system.

Because in his understanding, gods can be hurt, can bleed, and can fall. There are no truly immortal deities. The so-called immortality can only fool the ignorant mortals.

Even if gods don’t mind sacrificing their essence to interfere in the Material Realm, so what? Isn’t there a way to counter it? Just bring in other deities.

The descent of the Seven Gods offering blessings to the princess of the Augustus family, such a splendid miracle, influencing an entire continent, caused a significant stir within the Eastern Territory. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Nobles consider the lower levels ignorant and short-sighted, yet from another perspective, they’re practical too. Whoever brings them benefits, they will worship.

In faith, the general populace is the same. The seven deities manifested miracles and were hence worth believing in.

Alt-faith deity worship spreads in vast human-dominated regions and nations in the Eastern Territory, and its influence keeps growing, which the kingdom can’t prohibit.

Though the Elf God is an alt-race deity, it’s also a true god. Prohibiting true god worship is infeasible, but the solution is simple: introduce more true god faiths, spread more deity beliefs to counteract.

God of Justice, God of Courage, Light God, Sun God, Agriculture God, Luck Goddess, all but evil and malevolent gods should be introduced.

Under multi-faith cohabitation, even if the Elf God manifests, what of it? Other deities also exist to prove their presence and offer blessings to mortals.

Under the theomachy, there’s no soil for monotheism’s birth, and divine right of kings would never appear.

The divinity on the Silver Moon Princess can be solved with a similar approach. Divine status is hard to find, but divinity isn’t. Casius once used divinity as a material for forging weapons.

Mortals might struggle against deities, but deities can fight deities!

"Dragon Dad, do you have a way?"

"If it can’t be pulled out, then add more in!"

"Ah, this!"

The simple and crude solution left Gwen dumbfounded.
