Chapter 323
The reproduction of the five-colored dragon race is extremely difficult; ordinary giant dragons cannot even produce normal five-colored dragon offspring.
Because they themselves are lifeforms mutated by the Titans' miraculous ordering power, they fundamentally cannot reproduce like normal lifeforms.
What they give birth to are mostly young dragons with low intelligence, or beings with some intelligence but unable to become true giant dragons—dragonfolk.
Only the Five-Colored Dragon King and its mate can produce true giant dragons, and even then, only with some probability.
Offspring not born of the Dragon King cannot possibly become giant dragons; they can only grow into weak deformities.
Ultimately, it is because their life level is too low; over a decade ago, she suffered a devastating blow from the orc clan, was forced to mate and bear numerous mindless hatchlings, letting these children become the orcs' mounts.
This also dealt a heavy blow to the Red Dragon Legion; the current Red Dragon Legion is far weaker than its peak in ancient times.
Therefore, if a powerful demigod could lend a hand, she would feel much better; even if this wilderness demigod could provide some life energy.
Then she would have greater confidence in bearing offspring that could truly mature into giant dragons.
"Greetings, Red Dragon Queen, I am Luode, spokesperson for the Azure Demigod Azeiras." Luode smiled and said.
The Red Dragon Queen's life principle is indeed very strong, even stronger than several other wilderness demigods and the Green Dragon Queen; truly worthy of being a Life Bestower.
"I have long heard of your deeds, the new demigod chosen by Azeiras, and having also received Azeiras' favor, becoming her spokesperson." The Red Dragon Queen bowed to Luode and spoke.
Even she, this Five-Colored Dragon King, is unqualified to audience Azeiras, yet this demigod before her is rumored to have interacted multiple times with Azeiras.
"You flatter me; we are doing the same work—protecting the world of Azeiras from harm, Red Dragon Queen. You came to see me this time—what is the matter?" Luode asked.
"Please follow me! Demigod Luode, I originally only wanted to exchange words with you and establish some cooperation, but now I may need your help." The Red Dragon Queen smiled, leading Luode into her palace, located on the middle level of the Dragon Slumber Temple.
This place is usually where he receives humanoid beings; if giant dragons come, they gather at the temple's spire, after all, giant dragon bodies are too massive.
This is a room dominated by red—red gauze curtains, a red large bed, a red sofa—everywhere exudes an ambiguous style.
"Red Dragon Queen, actually this time I have some matters I wish to discuss with you and the Green Dragon Queen." Luode spoke.
"Oh! Do you need me to help together with Ysera? Speak!" Alexstrasza said.
"Your former homeland, the Dragon Isles, is home to many Primordial Dragons; Azeiras' lands also have many Primordial Dragons.
For example, the region you now inhabit, Northrend, and the Stormwind Bay of the Broken Isles, both have vast numbers of Primordial Dragons.
These Primordial Dragons, and the Primordial Dragon Kings, are the lifeforms nurtured by the Azeiras world.
I wish to discuss with you and the Green Dragon Queen, after the Dragon Isles are unsealed, releasing the other few Primordial Dragon Kings." Luode spoke.
"You! You actually want to release the Primordial Dragon Kings! They, they have all pledged allegiance to elemental power, embraced great elemental force, and are not of Titan order."
"Were you not once great Primordial Dragons yourselves? You embraced Titan power. Yet those Primordial Dragon Kings embraced elemental power.
You were merely forcibly infused with Titan power—and by those Titan Keepers at that—but in truth, if you wished.
Azeiras can equally bestow upon you the same power. Azeiras is our everything, even surpassing the Titans." Luode spoke.
Upon hearing this, the Red Dragon Queen instantly gaped, eyes wide, unable to believe that before her stood this wilderness demigod.
Actually holding the same view as the Primordial Dragon Kings, believing the Titans polluted Azeiras.
Could it be, could it be that Azeiras also holds this view? But Azeiras is a Titan herself!
"This is a mistaken idea; Demigod Luode, Azeiras herself is a Titan."
"No! Azeiras is the World Soul; after her birth and awakening, she will be even higher than the Titans.
I can clearly tell you, from the perspective of Azeiras' World Soul, those Titan Keepers are no different from the Old Gods—they all wish to turn Azeiras into their kind.
The Old Gods used void corruption to try to make Azeiras a mighty Void Lord, while the Titans sought to awaken Azeiras' World Soul as a Titan." Luode spoke.
"This! The Titan race harbors no malice; you have not endured that dark age, but we have. Longer ago than the ancient wars, the Dark Age of Empires—Titans defeated the Dark Empire and created true order." The Red Dragon Queen spoke.
"But now the entire Pantheon has already been wiped out. All Titan Keepers are basically sealed, their wills sunk, and some have even fallen—what happened at Ulduar.
Do not tell me you have noticed nothing. Why Tyr once took the Disc of Norgannon and left—precisely because the Titans, the Keepers, suffered internal strife, for the Keepers discovered a most cruel truth.
The Pantheon they worshipped and admired was destroyed by someone, and that destroyer was Sargeras." Luode spoke.
"So, is this Azeiras' meaning? Are we, we the ones in the wrong?" The Red Dragon Queen fell silent for a moment, then spoke.
"As long as it is for guarding Azeiras, then there is no fault; Azeiras bears no grudge against you, otherwise the Green Dragon Queen would not be guarding the Emerald Dream.
Moreover, you guardians of giant dragons should know the Emerald Dream was not created by the Life Guardian Freya, but discovered by her.
So I hope you and the Green Dragon Queen can understand: Azeiras wishes the Primordial Dragon Kings released, you guardians of giant dragons—even ordinary giant dragons cannot reproduce offspring.
This great burden can only fall upon you Dragon Kings; were it not for your endless lifespans, the giant dragon race would have long gone extinct.
Therefore, Alexstrasza, you should embrace Azeiras' power, not the protective power bestowed by the Titans." Luode spoke.
"I understand, but this matter I need to discuss with several others first. I cannot give you a definite answer.
Moreover, the Dragon Isles are now hidden by the Titans' mist formation; even we giant dragons cannot find where it is." Red Dragon Queen Alexstrasza spoke.
If the Dragon Isles could return home, they would not have wandered the Azeroth lands for ten thousand years. This matter is of great significance—releasing the Primordial Dragon Kings, embracing Azeiras' power, abandoning the power granted by the Titans—is this the correct path? "The Titan mist formation matter, I will resolve in the future; as long as you agree, soon Azeiras will reinfuse you with the power to guard giant dragons." Luode spoke.
The Red Dragon Queen, the Green Dragon Queen, and among the Primordial Dragon Kings, the Frost Dragon Queen, as well as the remaining few Primordial Dragon Kings, can all be drawn to Azeiras' side.
As for the Blue Dragonflight, Luode plans to find time to go to the Broken Isles, take the surviving old blue dragons there, and the blue dragon eggs he guards, and give them to the Blue Dragon King.
This should allow the Blue Dragon King to recover normally; if he still cannot recover, then I can also have Azeiras bestow power upon Tyraelgosa to create a Blue Dragon Queen.
Bronze Dragons—I will deal with them after I possess absolute power; as for the Black Dragonflight, there is still a fellow called Black Horn! These two dragon races Luode plans to handle last.
"Alright! I understand! Today this matter has greatly impacted me; I'm sorry, I currently cannot make an immediate decision."
"No problem, Red Dragon Queen, take your time; you can adapt, after all, Azeiras is the place that nurtured you, not those so-called Titans." Luode spoke.
"I need to consult with my sisters; after a period of time, after a period of time I will give you an answer."
"No problem; after this campaign against the Lich King concludes, I hope Red Dragon Queen you will give me a satisfactory answer." Then let us wait until after the Lich King is defeated! Anyway, during this period I am also very busy.
"Alright, we have agreed—we will wait until after the campaign against the Lich King ends."
"Then, Red Dragon Queen, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave." Luode said, turning to depart.
"Wait! Lord Luode! The help I just requested—can you provide me with some primal life force? To help me bear some new red giant dragons." The Red Dragon Queen spoke.
This is the true reason she invited Luode this time; after all, among all wilderness demigods, this one's life force is the greatest, even approaching true divinity.
"If it were another lifeform, I could say no problem, but Red Dragon Queen, you." Luode hesitated slightly.
One's own life force, now strong to the extreme, can even easily let an ordinary night elf instantly reach the level of a great druid.
But for the Red Dragon Queen, Luode also dares not guarantee whether he can truly satisfy her, after all, she is nicknamed the Life Giver, and her life force is much stronger than that of an ordinary demigod.
"You only need to infuse me with some life force, and it will be enough. When I was captured by orcs before, I suffered great losses. Although it has been nearly twenty years, I have never recovered." The Red Dragon Queen took Luode to her bedroom.
"I will do my best!" Luode's body burst forth with emerald green life force, preparing to infuse the Red Dragon Queen with life force.
"No no! This method would lose a lot of life essence, and it would also be more taxing for you. We can use the most primitive, life-merging way to accomplish this." The Red Dragon Queen took off her chest armor.
"The most, most, most primitive way of life exchange?"
No way! Your Majesty the Queen, you're serious? "Don't be shy! Come on! I want your life force, Luode demigod, now the entire world of Azeroth.
Your life force can be said to be the strongest. Let us communicate well about the use of life force." The Red Dragon Queen smiled charmingly and said.
Luode nodded. Since Your Majesty the Queen doesn't mind, then I won't hold back either.
"Red Dragon Queen, is this little tail yours in your true form?" Luode played with the red short tail in his hand and asked.
Several dragon kings who took human form seem to have some dragon-like features, but other five-colored giant dragons do not.
"Yes! That is our dragon race's extended tail. Don't touch it randomly."
"Your dragon horns." Luode looked at the pair of dragon horns on the Red Dragon Queen's head and asked.
"Yes! Dragon horns are also not allowed." Dragon horns are the symbol of the dragon race's throne! "But I want to grab onto something." Otherwise, where should I put my hands?
"Yes! Allowed, except for the tail, dragon horns are fine too."
"Good!" You should have said so earlier. If you had said so earlier, I would have grabbed it.
"Red Dragon Queen, are you sure our two life forces can successfully nurture a new dragon?" Luode asked.
After all, although I also carry the dragon character, I am the Eastern Qinglong, not your Western giant dragon! Even essentially, my race should belong to humans, only with a dragon-like transformation state.
"It's fine, don't ask so many questions, hurry up! I still need more life force." The Red Dragon Queen turned her head and gave Luode a dissatisfied look.
Idiot! Who told you I want to nurture an ordinary red dragon!
A demigod's life energy cannot be wasted. I want to nurture a new demigod, which can fundamentally solve the problem of the Red Dragon Legion.
"Did your sister ask you for help before?" Alexstrasza turned her head and asked.
"No, you are the first one I've asked for help." Luode lifted the huge red dragon's buttocks and said.
This way, I will definitely be able to give birth to a powerful demigod dragon.
"You must work hard! Mr. Luode, if I am satisfied, I will definitely help you release the other progenitor dragon kings.
After all, you don't want the task Azeroth entrusted to you to fail, do you?" The Red Dragon Queen said.
No! Wait, why does this sound so familiar? Why are you saying this to me? "I will do my best, after all, if it's you, my life force is also somewhat insufficient."
After a full day and night, Luode and the Red Dragon Queen finally completed the exchange of life force insights.
Luode weakly left the Dragon Sleep Temple, Red Dragon Queen, what kind of Life Giver are you?
I see you are a life force absorber! (End of chapter)
