Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 411 - 253 Uranos’s Request_2

Although that’s the case, the contraction of the Undead Kingdom’s forces has become a trend. In the battle where the Undying King was beheaded, too many legendary undead fell, and they do not have enough high-level combat power to guard all fronts.

Especially the lands of the living that had submitted to the Undead Kingdom. Upon hearing of the Undying King being beheaded by the Holy Dragon, they raised their flags in rebellion, refusing to submit to the control of the undead, because after all, if given a choice, who would want to be governed by a group of corpses?

For a time, the Undead Kingdom found enemies in every direction, with many large and small forces wanting to take advantage of the undead’s contraction to gain some benefits.

However, after the Undead Army fought more than a dozen brilliant annihilation battles, the number of forces daring to act like this greatly decreased, choosing to wait patiently for the undead to retreat, and then feed on the leftovers they left behind.

The only force capable of pursuing and killing the undead is, thus far, the Atlas Kingdom.

But what is very bizarre is that even though it’s a better opportunity to deal with the undead and seize land and resources from them, the Atlas Kingdom not only did not advance again but instead began to retreat like the undead and ceased engaging them.

Many forces do not understand what is going on, especially from the Elves’ side, who are even more puzzled by why the highly aggressive King Atlas would miss such a great opportunity. It’s simply illogical.

"It’s not simple? Because his son is on the other side!"

After the battle to behead the Undying King, if Selena, who was involved throughout, had not discovered the spy Wayne sent by Noah, then this Legendary Mage would be quite incompetent. Selena’s knowledge naturally meant that Uranos also knew.

This Monarch, since stepping into the field, has repeatedly obtained important intelligence about the undead from Noah. If he still couldn’t guess that the one transmitting the intelligence was his own son, then he wouldn’t need to be the King anymore.

Therefore, it was very normal and reasonable for Uranos not to choose to hit a dog when it’s down. He still wanted to salvage and repair his father-son relationship with this outstanding offspring.

Now knowing that his son is about to ascend opposite him, although Uranos’s feelings are complicated, he certainly chose to support him, but he also didn’t forget to address the trouble caused by the real culprit.

"Uncle Noah, don’t you think you owe me an explanation for this matter?"

This time, Uranos did not rely on the communication array to accuse Noah but returned from the front lines to personally come to Noah’s Dragon Palace.

"Explain what?"

"Why did Wayne become the Demon King?"

Uranos articulated each word clearly.

Knowing that his son, even if undercover, could rise to become the leader of the enemy forces is certainly a matter of great relief, but the problem is, this is the undead’s side!

Now that his son has become the leader of the enemy forces, should he fight or not?

"That’s his own choice, and besides, there’s no need to worry, he won’t remain the Demon King for long."

"Oh, is he planning to return?"

Uranos’s expression changed slightly, his originally sharp and cold face softened a little, almost showing a smile, but upon hearing Noah’s next words, his face tightened again.

"No, Wayne is preparing to become the second-generation Undying King!"

"He is a living being, the bloodline inheritor of the Augustus family!"

King Atlas emphasized each word, with thunder beginning to roar between his nose and mouth.

"So what? That doesn’t prevent him from becoming the Undying King."

Noah replied indifferently.

"If Wayne becomes the Undying King, who will inherit my throne?"

Uranos didn’t care who would take over the position of the Undying King, but he very much cared that the person was his son, the one he valued the most.

"Not to mention, you still have a few hundred years before you can abdicate, and Wayne isn’t your only son. Why the rush?"

"Only Wayne is the most suitable inheritor, Alexander, he won’t do!"

Uranos looked at the giant dragon in front of him. The reason he personally came this time was to see just how powerful this dragon was, the one who beheaded the Undying King.

Although this dragon still maintains close relations with the Augustus family, Uranos wouldn’t doubt the bond between the dragon and the family. The issue was that the other side’s intention to intervene in the choice of the third-generation King was already blatantly obvious.

This was something he found difficult to accept and intolerable. He is the King of Atlas, and only he can guide the future of the family and the Kingdom, so he must know how powerful the dragon attempting to bend his will truly is.

"Whatever you say goes. You are the King of Atlas now, you have the final say."

For the King of Atlas below declaring his sovereignty, Noah’s response was very calm. After all, he raised this child himself, he can bear even more from him.

"So will you respect my decision then?"

"Of course, I have always respected reality."

Uranos fell silent, for the current reality is that the son he favored does not want to deal with him at all, not even willing to call him ’father’, let alone inherit the throne. freёnovelkiss.com

The most frustrating thing is that this son walked very closely with the dragon before him, following his orders to the point of even willingly undertaking the dangerous task of being a spy.

"I want to know whether becoming the Undying King is Wayne’s own desire or your arrangement."

"It is now his own desire!"

Standing on the brink of power in a nation, such temptation is incredibly difficult for any male creature to resist. Not to mention, Wayne is now just under fifty years old, barely a legendary figure. Expecting someone of this age to dismiss power is absurd.

Wayne merely dislikes inheriting Uranos’s position, not the throne itself, especially a position achieved through his hard work and effort. Who would give it up so easily? If he abandons it, what would all his previous efforts and sacrifices count for?

"From your tone, it seems it’s still your influence?"

Uranos’s words carried a bit more respect, but the thunder surrounding him began to thicken.

"It started as a joke, but unexpectedly he was determined enough to actually do it."

Noah ignored the changes in his nephew below, as after battling with such a monster as the Undying King, even legendary beings with special bloodlines no longer caught his eye.

"Uncle Noah, I heard from my grandmother that your progress during this period of slumber was immense, that no one other than a Near Saint could contend with you."

"It’s not really that exaggerated. According to the current classification of the extraordinary system, I’m just a first-rank legend, just with slightly higher combat power."

The so-called Near Saint is a respectful title given to those above the seventh rank in the legendary field. The ’Saint’ refers to the Divine’s Saint form.

It represents the absolute pinnacle of the material realm, and even stronger beings are pushed out of this world as the strongest form of Divines, adversaries whom mortal beings cannot defeat in single combat.

"If so, I wish to request Uncle’s help with one thing."

"What is it?"

"I am now a fifth-rank legend, but for nearly a decade, I have been unable to advance further. I can feel the shackles from my incomplete bloodline, and I understand why my grandfather often went out. Precisely because of this, I need a successor."

Uranos’s tone was very peaceful at this moment.

"I can’t help you with that, and besides, the current situation was brewed by your own actions."

Noah knew all too well, although Uranos was born extraordinary, it was evident that the naturally awakened Titan bloodline only supported him to this point.

For the mundane, it’s certainly commendable, but for Uranos, who wishes to follow his grandfather’s footsteps, it’s far from sufficient.

"No, I want to request Uncle to duel with me. I had a match with a Near Saint before, but we were evenly matched, and it didn’t pressure me much. I think you might be different."
