Chapter 1342 Dragon King
Outside the dragon's lair which had returned to peace, Lei Xiao faced the bright sunlight shining through the mountain mist, his brows furrowed in thought.
After successfully completing the coronation ceremony, the next test Hong Ye has to face is undoubtedly the Dragon Clan Elders Council.
As the name suggests, the Dragon Elder Council is composed of respected old dragons from various dragon clans, including former dragon kings and important figures such as former elders and priests of various dragon clans.
Although in the beginning, the responsibility of the Dragon Elders' Council was only to promote exchanges between the major dragon clans, mediate conflicts between them, and extinguish wars between them.
However, as time went by, after the major dragon clans successively extinguished their wars, the power of the Dragon Elders' Council further expanded, to the point that it also had a certain supervisory and restraining effect on the major dragon kings.
In addition, the Dragon Elder Council is also the only supreme authority representing the entire dragon clan, which is evident from this.
This means that even if Hong Ye completed the coronation ceremony and gained the support of other red dragons and consolidated his position in the clan, he would still need to be recognized by the Dragon Elders Council before he could become the legitimate Dragon King.
"Not only is Poruso so lawless in this area, but he also secretly parasitizes and controls other dragons, which is an absolute taboo that the dragon race cannot touch. In addition, he created the night of destruction. His many evil deeds are too numerous to mention."
"The reason why he is still so reckless undoubtedly shows that there must be someone in the Dragon Clan Elder Council who is supporting him and has been condoning him. Under such circumstances, if Hong Ye, who replaced him, goes to the Dragon Clan Elder Council again, the result is predictable. He will definitely be harassed by the instigator."
"But according to the description of Serin and others, over the past few hundred years, more than a dozen envoys from the Dragon Elders Council have asked Boruso to return to the Elders Council to report in detail on the conflicts with the three major forces of wood elves, dwarves, and tree people, but Boruso has always refused."
"This also proves from the side that it was not the entire Dragon Elders Council that condoned Boruso, but a part of it or a certain elder. There are also many elders who have complaints about Boruso, and are even extremely dissatisfied with him."
"In other words, although Hong Ye will face difficulties, he is likely to get support from other elders. From this point of view, the situation may not be too bad, but we can only wait and see what the specific situation will be."
Lei Xiao stroked his chin gently, then nodded after some hesitation.
As for the members of the Dragon Elder Council who condoned Poruso, it is unknown whether they are the masterminds behind Poruso, or just like Poruso, they are puppets controlled by the masterminds.
But what is certain is that the existence that can control such a transcendent force as the dragon clan is probably not a good person.
While Lei Xiao was thinking this, he began to command his soldiers to rest and clean up the battlefield. He also took the time to inform the managers of the Misty Shadow Market of the latest situation. Needless to say, the latter were very excited when they heard that Lei Xiao had returned victoriously.
Serin and other dragons led a group of subdued dragons to cooperate with them, and completely eliminated the dragon mirage in the dragon's nest, making it easier for our soldiers to move.
Seeing that everything was going on in an orderly manner, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
Apart from that, what I care about most is undoubtedly the "eclipse" itself.
After all, even the survivors of the blank era such as Bing Lao and Fei'er knew nothing about it and had no impression of it at all.
Whether they have forgotten the existence of "Eclipse" or there is some other reason is still unknown.
"By the way, the God's Stone, which was born after the blank era, is not only the key to the truth of the world, but also the key to dealing with the "eclipse". What kind of potential connection is there between them?"
"Furthermore, there are many types of [God's Stones], and their strengths vary. Were they created by the same god, or by different gods? This is also extremely important."
"After all, judging from the current situation, the god who created the [God's Stone] must be the transcendent being that led one billion lords to descend here. As long as we know whether the creator of the [God's Stone] is one or more, we will know whether all this is the will of one god or a group of gods."
"If I knew this, I might be able to get closer to the truth of the Blank Age."
"If it was done by a group of gods, then it would be easier to explain. At worst, we can force an explanation through the game of gods."
"But if all this was done by just one god, I really can't think of a reason for him to do this. He can't be trying to use the power of the lords to fight against other gods? This is too far-fetched."
"Let's take a step back and say that even if this is possible, even if the other gods no longer care about this world, how could they watch all this happen without stopping it?"
"But I am sure that since the prompting sound is divine revelation, the owner of this voice must be the transcendent being that controls all of this, or one of the transcendent beings. Unfortunately, apart from telling me some information about the [God's Stone] and "Eclipse", he did not answer any of my questions. If I receive divine revelation again, I will try to ask more questions."
"In addition, the Eclipse itself is probably inextricably linked to the Blank Age, but judging from the many mysterious phenomena left over from the Blank Age, there seems to be no connection. What kind of relationship is hidden in this?"
"Logically, the more clues we get, the easier it should be to deduce the truth about the Blank Age and the secret of the arrival of the Billion Lords. But I find the Blank Age increasingly difficult to deduce."
"It felt as if I was only seeing a small part of a magnificent painting. As the painting slowly unfolded, I realized that what I thought was the whole painting was only a small part of the real painting."
Just as Lei Xiao was carefully sorting out the latest information, a vast and powerful energy wave suddenly surged out from the dragon's nest behind him.
As the energy fluctuations got closer, a huge dragon shadow shining with flames quickly shot out from the entrance of the dragon's nest and finally stopped in front of Lei Xiao.
Needless to say, this is Red Night.
"My Lord, I have lived up to your high expectations and successfully completed the Dragon King's coronation ceremony!"
Hong Ye's huge dragon body fell down, with its two front paws on the ground. He lowered his head towards Lei Xiao, his voice full of excitement and gratitude.
She clearly understood that it was because of this young man from another world that she was able to kill her enemy and regain the family's long-lost glory.
Not only that, he even became the new Dragon King, and his strength broke through the sixth level, which was undoubtedly something he had never dared to think about before.
After all, when he met the Lord, he was just a down-and-out man who had to seal himself off to avoid being hunted by his own people, and he had not seen the light of day for hundreds of years.
Thinking of this in his heart, Hong Ye's huge dragon body couldn't help trembling because of excitement: "My Lord, being able to meet you and become your mount dragon is undoubtedly the greatest honor of my life!"
"Hongye, get up quickly."
Lei Xiao gently patted the huge dragon head, smiled slightly and said: "I once said that I would let you fly in the sky without worries, and now I have done it."
After that, Lei Xiao's expression became more serious, and he said, "However, since you have become the new Dragon King, you have more responsibilities on your shoulders. Are you ready for these?"
"My Lord, my grandfather was the Dragon King, and my father was once a contender for the title of Dragon King. As a family with the blood of the ancestral dragon, it is my responsibility to revitalize the dragon herd."
Hong Ye's voice was full of determination as he responded, "Besides, I am not fighting alone. The Lord is always standing behind me, which makes me even more powerful! As long as I have the Lord's support, I will never be afraid."
"Don't worry, Lord. I will reorganize the dragon group as soon as possible, complete the report to the Dragon Elders Council, and truly obtain the crown of the Dragon King. By then, the entire group of red dragons will be the most solid force for you, Lord!"
Hong Ye's voice was sonorous and powerful, and he nodded heavily at Lei Xiao.
"Very good, I believe in your ability."
Lei Xiao smiled slightly, and immediately expressed his concerns.
After listening to Lei Xiao's words, Hong Ye's face became more serious, and he responded: "My Lord, what you said is very true. These are exactly what I am most worried about. However, just as my Lord said, the Council of Elders is not completely controlled by the other party. This is where our confidence comes from."
"As far as I know, the elders in the Council of Elders are the most upright and respected people in each dragon clan. Many of them are the first batch of old dragons since the blank era. They are of the same generation as my grandfather. They will never allow the parasitism and manipulation of the dragon clan to happen."
"Besides, we have the bodies of these controlled dragons in our hands, plus many dragon evidences, which are enough to expose Boruso's conspiracy during this period."
"Under this situation, the other party will definitely push Boruso out as a scapegoat to protect themselves, and will not act rashly for the time being. This will buy me a lot of time. I am confident that I can control the entire group of dragons in this period of time!"
Hong Ye's voice became more firm, and he added: "Once I have stabilized the dragon group, the other party will not be able to act recklessly. Moreover, we have the assistance of Serin and the others. Although that guy is very tough in words, he is actually a dragon who can distinguish right from wrong."
"Then I'm relieved. What do you need me to do in this process?"
Lei Xiao gently patted Hong Ye's dragon face which was lying on the ground and asked.
"My Lord, the Dragon Elders Council is extremely aloof. In addition, Boruso's evil deeds have brought shame to the Dragon Clan. I think it would be better for you not to show up until I have stabilized the dragon group and completely gained the right to speak. Otherwise, once those old dragons lose face and take advantage of their seniority, things will become even more difficult to deal with. After all, the human race has been away from the Outlands for a long time."
Hong Ye tried his best to choose his words and responded: "I will handle everything as soon as possible, please rest assured, Lord!"
"Understood. I will do my best to provide you with material support. Although the sixth-level attack magic scrolls and summoning magic scrolls have been used up, there are still a lot of sixth-level magic potions and other defense-related enhancement scrolls."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, then said thoughtfully, "Besides that, I happen to have a lot of shapeshifting potions in my hand. In order to conceal your presence, it would be a good idea for you to bring the dragons back in human form wearing cloaks."
Just as Lei Xiao said, after fully upgrading the potion warehouses of the dwarves and wood elves, they did obtain a rare fifth-level shapeshifting potion. And Serin also had a stock of sixth-level shapeshifting potions, which were just taken by Lei Xiao and upgraded by more than a hundred, enough to allow all the dragons here to have the ability to shapeshift.
After saying that, Lei Xiao handed the entire series of items to Hong Ye.
"Thank you, Lord. I will never be able to repay your kindness!"
Hongye's body trembled again, and he expressed gratitude.
"You are my dragon mount and my most important subordinate. We have been through life and death together and have been through so many battlefields. What does this mean to you?"
Lei Xiao smiled faintly, and then said seriously: "No matter when, I and the territory will be your most solid backing."
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, Hong Ye's dragon body trembled even more violently. He was so grateful that he couldn't speak. He could only keep his head close to the ground and express his feelings with actions.
"Well, it's time for the other dragons to meet their new king."
Lei Xiao supported the huge dragon head and smiled.
After saying that, Lei Xiao contacted the main subordinates who were cleaning up the battlefield beside Serin, and asked them to gather the dragons and regroup at the entrance of the nest.
It didn't take long before hundreds of red dragons arrived and formed a giant square formation. Directly opposite the square formation was Red Night standing high up.
"My fellow tribesmen, the one standing before you now is our tribe's new king, Red Night Blazing Flame."
Serin took a step forward and said loudly: "It was our new king Hong Ye who fought the tyrant with His Majesty the Human Race at the coronation site and finally got rid of him, bringing us new hope and dawn!"
"After that, the new king Hong Ye perfectly completed the ancient coronation ceremony and wore the supreme crown of the Dragon King. She has witnessed the most brilliant and violent flames and experienced the most pure energy. Her ancestral dragon blood is boiling in her body. Her coronation ceremony is in line with the ancestral system, and her will is as solid as a rock!"
Serin's voice echoed in the valley, high-spirited and excited: "Greetings to my king. May my king illuminate our way forward and guide us in the direction of progress!"
After saying that, Serin fell to the ground with her huge body, and first lowered her head towards Hong Ye.
Following Serin's actions, other dragons including Hongsi and the Xuanran family also made the same actions, and said in unison with high spirits: "Greetings to our king, may our king illuminate our way forward and guide us in the direction of progress!"
Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
It is not difficult to see from the vast energy fluctuations emitted by Hong Ye that after the coronation ceremony, her strength has increased a lot. She is already comparable to Bing Lao and has reached the level of six-star. This is undoubtedly the best among these dragons.
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this, an unexpected news came.
