I, The Dragon Overlord - Chapter 365
Chapter 365 – Sleeping Dragon Temple
As a new god, the first thing Louie needed to do was to create his own divine kingdom and then hide his true body within it.
Gods were beings that feared death the most, so the first thing a god had to do was to protect themselves. Though they were ageless, they ultimately could still be killed by external forces. And so to minimize that possibility, hunkering down in their kingdoms was the best bet.
Louie gazed at the miniature realm in front of him. The area was very vast, nearly a million square kilometers. There were lakes, mountains, plains, flowers, and much natural scenery that gave off a stunning beauty.
“This place is suitable for elven gods to live in.”
Louie gazed at the landscape of this realm and smiled.
He did not expect that the former Five-colored Dragon God would construct his divine kingdom in this way, but Louie smiled with satisfaction.
First of all, he needed to think about where he would place his divine kingdom. In terms of factions, Louie belonged to the neutral side, so as long as it was not in the extremes of realms such as the Heavenly Mountain or the Bottomless Abyss he could go anywhere. The selection of a realm also depended on a god’s preference.
The Heavenly Mountain was the place where the strongest sacred power was located while the Bottomless Abyss contained the strongest evil power in the world. Louie did not like either of them. Whether as a dragon or as a human, Louie still preferred this kind of natural scenery full of plants, flowers, and birds.
To put it bluntly, Louie loved the fairy tale-like scenery of the Silver Moon Kingdom. Staying in a place like the Shadow Realm where Shae lived did not make him happy at all.
Thinking so, Louie made a decision. He prepared to place his divine kingdom in the Arborea Realm, which was neither absolute good nor absolute evil. It might be a chaotic place, but it did not matter to him.
The Goddess of Silver Moon’s divine kingdom as well as the Gate of the Moon was also located in the Arborea Realm. By placing their kingdoms near each other, they would be able to clearly display their abilities.
If Selune had known that Louie had this plan, then she would definitely be overjoyed. The Goddess felt somewhat afraid due to Shae’s schemes over the years, so her sense of security was quite low. She was afraid that she would one day return back to hugging another god’s thighs just to survive. With Louie around to help her, they could face difficulties together, and the Goddess would feel warm around him.
“So, it’s decided then. After placing down my divine kingdom, I could go visit Her Highness Selune and have a chat when there’s nothing to do. Maybe we could even have another intimate moment.”
Louie whispered proudly. Although enjoying the real body of the goddess could be difficult, he could definitely have a taste of her incarnation. As long as he asked, the Silver Moon Goddess would be happy to accept and let Louie play with her.
The Goddess understood a dragon’s desire and would satisfy him. Although the two weren’t husband and wife, gods giving birth was no different from being husband and wife in the eyes of other gods.
“I think the scenery of the Gate of The Moon is also absolutely beautiful.”
With such expectations, Louie was already using his divine power to construct his divine kingdom.
Generally speaking, there were two ways for gods to create a divine kingdom. One was to create it from nothingness, and the other was to choose a land in a realm and create it directly on that land.
The first method was relatively difficult. Using divine power to create a kingdom from nothingness would make the kingdom small at the beginning. A god would need thousands of years to expand the kingdom little by little, just like how ancient gods expanded their kingdom slowly to reach millions or even tens of millions of square kilometers.
This method required a long amount of time and a lot of divine power.
The second method was much simpler. It was to find a place in a random realm and carve the territory. After that, they would create the laws of the divine kingdom. Naturally, this would require much less divine power, but it had a huge flaw. The divine kingdoms were fixed in the realm and could not move, so it was not possible to escape from danger.
Generally speaking, many gods would choose the first method to create their divine kingdoms even if it took a long time and more divine power. It was better than putting themselves in danger, and anyways, the gods were not short on time.
But generally, only truly strong gods could reach a huge size. Mostly only mid-tier and high-tier gods could do so. For low-tier gods that were subordinate to others, they would put their divine kingdoms in the divine kingdom of their main gods. Not only could they save on divine power, they could also obtain protection, which was a smart choice.
Louie thought that he could definitely become a powerful god. Of course, he would construct his own divine kingdom. With his Divine King’s Crown, it would be foolish to not make use of it.
“Many realms each have their own place. After becoming a god, I noticed that the main continent is actually quite small compared to other realms. It’s just that it’s at the core of the world, that’s why it is the main continent. Other realms were more dependent on energy composition rather than material composition.”
Divine power surged in Louie’s eyes. He gazed up to the Heavenly Mountains above, then at the Bottomless Abyss below. Except for some places blocked by powerful forces, there was nothing that could block his gaze.
“Is that the so-called Nine Heavens and Nine Abysses?”
Louie smiled, “The Era of Disaster is truly a big calamity. Many divine kingdoms fell. Who knows how much pain those gods must have felt.”
Louie gloated. Just like Shae’s divine kingdom that had been created after hundreds of thousands of years, other gods’ hundreds of thousands of years of work had also been erased. Yet they could only soldier on and try again.
“If you guys still maintained your authority, where would there be room for small guys like me to survive.”
Louie sneered and immediately felt awe-inspired. He let his divine power and will enter the Divine King’s Crown.
The Five-colored Dragon God was so powerful that he foresaw the fall of his divine kingdom tens of thousands of years ago. With his accumulated divine power, he had expanded a miniature realm to the size of a million square kilometers while adding divine rules and also crafting it into divine equipment for later use.
However, the Five-colored Dragon God did not expect that he would be targeted by the Terran Civilization. Even powerful gods would fall under the reckless attacks of the Terran Civilization. Even its body was captured at death. This gave Louie a chance to obtain his body, and even his backhand had been obtained. It could be said that Louie’s life was very convenient.
“I have inherited your godhood and the divine kingdom you prepared. I will help you take care of the dragon race that you created!”
Louie was able to easily control the masterless divine equipment with his godly powers.
This divine kingdom that had been prepared had two important functions. One was to possess an area of nearly one million square kilometers. This was equivalent to saving a large amount of divine power. Louie would not need to start using divine power to expand his territory in the void. The second was that the Five-colored Dragon God had made this as a prototype divine kingdom, so transforming the area into an actual one would also require a small amount of divine power.
If gods wanted to move mountains and seas in the main continent, it was simply not worth the cost. It could consume a lot of divine power and produce no result. However, if they changed the terrain in their own divine kingdom it was incredibly simple as the kingdom was a product of a god’s will.
Louie found the pivot of the Divine King’s Crown and directly took control of it. In that instant, Louie possessed absolute control of it, and was able to turn it into his own divine kingdom.
However, the rules of the world were much simpler and the rules inside belonged to the Five-colored Dragon God, not Louie. After this, Louie would need to completely rewrite the rules to make them belong to him.
This would require some time and did not use up a lot of divine power. It could be said that the Divine King’s Crown let Louie advance hundreds or even thousands of years compared to other gods.
Louie’s figure reappeared in the center of the miniature realm. He looked at the forest beneath his feet. With a point of his hand, the sky turned over and the forest disappeared. Then an extremely vast lake appeared. In the middle of the lake, the ground rose into a mountain range. It continued to grow up till the clouds above, becoming a mountain in the sky.
Louie once reappeared on the peak of the mountain, which was a huge flat area. He then lowered his head to look at the rocks under his feet. They were agates, emerald, gold, and other precious metals.
“Hahaha! Now, this is a place where dragons live!”
Louie mobilized his divine power and changed the world to his liking. Steps of white jade stairs stretched from the bottom to the peak of the mountain. Clouds suddenly appeared in the sky, creating a fantastical landscape.
Then, the top of the mountain shook. With Louie’s divine power, an extremely lofty and spectacular huge palace appeared at the top of the mountain. Without much thought, three words in the ancient script were written in the center of the palace.
