BXBX NOVEL Chapter 506 - Dragon Sage
“The floating island has remained unchanged for thousands of years, how could it suddenly be destroyed?”
“......”
The reason why this miniature realm was a sacred place for dragons was that it had all kinds of environments that were suited for dragons to retire.
Although old dragons would continue to grow stronger as they age, they would also sleep for longer and longer. Gradually they would lose their will to fight.
Under that situation, old dragons had high expectations of comfort and satisfying sleep. At the same time, they did not want to face any danger of anything waking them up. This was the role of Dragon Island.
Dragon Island had the perfect environment that could accommodate a variety of dragons. In addition, it was vast enough that each dragon could have their own territory without any others infringing on it. With so many dragons gathered, this place naturally became a sacred place.
When they found out that their ‘retirement home’ was going to be demolished, the dragons would certainly panic.
“Miniature realms are special products of the cracks in the main realm. Along with the passage of time, they would gradually disappear. In ancient times, powerful mages would strengthen the structure of the realm with powerful spells, but only a few dragons were such mages. Dragon Island is a big island that has existed for more than 30,000 years without any maintenance. If Lord Dragon God had not cast a divine spell back then to reinforce the island, it would have collapsed 10,000 years ago.”
“Now, this miniature realm is about to come to an end. It only has less than two hundred years at most before disappearing naturally.”
Abdulfraizer slowly spoke. No one doubted his words as this primordial dragon had immense prestige.
For old dragons, two hundred years was something they could just sleep through.
“So, you have one last choice. This miniature realm was originally more than double the current size. Lord Dragon God had cut this floating island into two halves. The other half was sealed inside a divine weapon, and that divine weapon has not been transformed by His Highness Louie into his own divine kingdom ‘Dragonblight’. The environment in Dragonblight is similar to the floating island, and it’s also a divine kingdom making it vaster and safer.”
“Now, I will give all the dragons here an option. The first option is to become a believer of His Highness Louie and migrate to ‘Dragonblight’. There, even if you are not able to become an ancient dragon, you can become a dragon believer and live for several thousands of years. Another choice is to wait here for the collapse of this floating island and then go find another secluded realm to wait for death.”
“I am not threatening anyone nor am I exaggerating. The greatness of gods is not something we dragons can speculate. In at most a hundred or two hundred years, you will find out that those who do not have faith will have their souls imprisoned in the ‘Wall of Unbelief’ after death. There, they would endure thousands of years of punishment and then be washed into the waters of the River Styx.”
“Everyone must choose to have faith and choose a god to believe in. Since that is the case, as proud dragons, why should you choose to believe in other gods instead of choosing our own Dragon God?”
The primordial dragon raised its body and spewed fiery dragon breath into the sky. In an instant, the entire realm turned into a hot hell. This was the power of a level 19 profession. This dragon breath from a primordial dragon was not something most gods dared to face head-on.
For dragons that liked the cold, the temperature was incredibly uncomfortable. They wriggled their bodies in anxiety and looked at each other. Their gazes flashed as if they had made a decision.
In the warm plains, a pale old man slowly walked and felt the warm breeze of this plain and the grass underfoot. The old man was the human form of Abdulfraizer. There were times when having a human figure was more convenient to talk to dragons.
Besides Absulfraizer, Louie and Heloise also walked in human forms.
This warm plain was exactly the golden dragon’s favorite environment.
“Things have truly developed a bit beyond my expectation, Sir Abdulfraizer.”
Louie exhaled lightly. Even he, a god, did not expect things to develop in such a fantastic way.
“I came to this miniature realm with preparations to preach in a gentle way so that a part of the dragons would become my followers. That way, I would have enough support to grasp the divine authority of dragons and get through immediate difficulties.”
Dragons had a low degree of faith. They were too arrogant and fearless. If they were forced to submit with fear, it was impossible to make them generate faith.
Therefore, Louie never thought of threatening them by force. Doing so would only be counterproductive and provoke their rebellion and arrogance.
It was because of this troublesome matter that Louie was not able to think of a way to turn the dragons into his believers. He could only gradually let time do its work, letting the dragon race become his believers little by little.
This time, the main god of the beastmen Gorsh and the Mother Earth Goddess Chauntea had forced him to speed up his pace. At the very least, he wanted to be worthy of his divine authority and reduce his losses.
He was not the original Five-colored Dragon God who was the creator of dragons and would easily become the dragon’s object of faith. If Louie wanted to create his own dragons, he would require the divine authority of dragons. To do so, he would require the dragons to have faith in him and become the Dragon God, forming a strange paradox.
Dragons already existed, and the divine authority had been set, so creating the same race was already impossible.
“This is not just for you, Your Highness Louie! I am already very old and spent a long time in slumber, but I am also a dragon. I do not want to see the dragon race die out and wake up to find that the dragons no longer exist in the world of San Soliel.”
“You should also not blame the dragons. It has been a long time since the gods disappeared. Because of weakness, humans were easy to convince to choose a faith, but powerful dragons would not be so easily convinced. Unless they suffer a bit, they will never submit to the gods.”
“But this should not happen. The stubborn character of dragons will probably lead them to extinction. As an elder, I still have some prestige that I should put to good use and help dragons on the right path. After this, I can continue to sleep in peace. I believe that under your leadership, the dragons will definitely become prosperous and continue to be the apex predator of this world.”
“When I wake up next time, I hope to see even more colorful dragons soaring in the sky.”
This old man spoke sincerely. As a dragon, he truly bowed his head for the sake of the race.
Louie could not help but sigh. This primordial dragon loved his own race and was proud of every single dragon there. He placed the glory of the race above all and even for the sake of glory, he would fight against the gods.
“You are a wise elder, just like the ‘sage’ of the dragons.”
Louie said with assurance, “You’ve done me a great favor while keeping the dragon race in mind. The only thing I can promise you is that during my immortal life, the dragon race shall always stand above all other races and become the object of fear and respect for other races.”
“With your assurance, I feel relieved, Your Highness Louis! I have heard of your accomplishments as a lord in the main continent and also learned of your great deeds as a god after becoming a god. Among the dragon race, there is no dragon other than you who can carry the honor of the entire race and be crowned a god. As for ‘Dragon Sage’, I quite like the name.”
Abdulfraizer smiled and then continued, “But I can only influence these old dragons on the floating island. Perhaps even among these old dragons, I think that there will be some who are unwilling to recognize you as a god and will choose to leave.”

“As for the young ones, they are freer and more arrogant. Even my prestige could not influence them. After this, it will be up to Your Highness Louie to turn all the dragons into your loyal people.”
Louie chuckled and gently said, “At the very least, the gods do not lack time. Immortal life means that everything is inevitable. I may not be able to accomplish it in a hundred or two hundred years, but if you give me thousands of years, the young dragons would grow old enough to go senile. With that, the new dragons will completely acknowledge me as the new Dragon God. The rules of the world at that time will be the rules of the gods. Even dragons would not be able to defy the rules of the world.”
“Sir Abdulfraizer, the Sage of Dragons, I will assure you that as long as I still have my divine throne, your title as the ‘sage’ of dragons shall forever be known. As long as my divine throne remains, I will guarantee you the protection of having endless dragon life in the future!”
Louie swore an oath in the name of the gods. The actions of this primordial dragon were enough to make Louie feel respect for him. At the same time, the power of the gods will ensure that he would never be killed by any other god.
As long as Louie remained immortal, this primordial dragon would be on the same level as the gods.
