Chapter 166: Chapter 131: The Girl Who Went Home to Visit Her Parents

"Noah, you truly are the most detestable bastard I have ever met in my life. Why would you place such a thing in front of me?"

Tidel remained silent for a long time, finally letting out a long sigh under Noah’s gaze, but it was not something pleasant to hear.

"Why? You don’t want it?"

Noah was somewhat surprised.

"I know my abilities are mediocre, and my father is a mountain peak that I will find hard to surpass in this lifetime. Yet I still harbor the delusion of attempting to chase after that nearly impossible possibility."

The young man looked at the crystal before him, surrounded by golden electricity, with faint human figures sitting cross-legged, and with extreme difficulty, he shifted his gaze,

"Accepting this power would mean utterly denying myself, and I could never surpass my father in this lifetime.

Perhaps you want to mock my delusions, but this is my perseverance, I also have my own pride.

So, I choose to refuse!"

Noah looked at the young man for a long time, as if to re-assess him, yet in the next moment, the Golden Dragon’s tail whipped across,

"What nonsense are you spouting? When did I ever look down on you? I said it’s just because I saw you awakening your bloodline, so I gave you a choice, not forcing you. If you don’t want it, just don’t want it, why put on such a show?"

"Who asked you to tempt me with such a thing."

Facing the Golden Dragon’s tail strike, the newly promoted Extreme Intent Warrior raised his hand to block, yet still retreated more than ten meters, but his face wasn’t red nor was he out of breath, appearing at ease.

"What temptation? This is originally the foundation of your Augustus family, only placed with me for safekeeping, you should have known about it anyway."

The Golden Dragon said discontentedly.

He admitted, the Titan Blood Crystal, containing the foster father’s Legendary Power, was an extraordinary treasure incomparable in the world, yet he couldn’t use it nor trade it off, for him, it was purely a burden.

"Let me try achieving it first. If I truly cannot ascend to a legend with my own strength, then you may place it before me again."

"Fine, anyway, the family still has an aunt, no major issues at the moment."

Of course, Noah didn’t mind, even if Tidel ascended to legend, it would not significantly change the current Augustus family.

The Augustus family is still in a recovery phase, even if there is excess strength, it can only be directed inward, not outward.

Because the existing lands are too many, rather than seizing territory that cannot be practically controlled, it is better to manage the domain well.

Not to mention the Elidis Mountains occupied by Noah, just the original lands of the Augustus family alone, are more than three times the territory of the Golden Dragon, because the Augustus family has completely cleared the Valley of Flames.

This large canyon leading to the Dark Territory, and the surrounding lands, are no longer enclaves for the Augustus family but have become distinctive terrains marking the dynasty’s borders.

These lands are nothing; the truly important one is the Victor Great Plain apportioned by the Royal Family due to Selena ascending to legend.

This is one of the three major grain-producing areas of the Kingdom, its grain output sufficient to supply nearly half the national population, hailed as fertile and bountiful, unlike the border Barbaric Land overrun with monsters, it is a plain tended by humans for hundreds of years.

The Royal Family allotting this plain to the Augustus family is more than a bloodletting; it’s a damaging sacrifice, but it had to be so.

The wealth possessed by the Royal Family, having two legends, far exceeds the apparent Legendary Power of the Augustus family, several times over. This is clearly a way to invite chaos and calamity.

"But you must be clear about one thing, the current peace is merely temporary, so you still have the luxury of being willful. Once a crisis emerges, then you must accept this power, you have no right to refuse."

Noah foresaw the rising winds and tumultuous upheaval of the future. Indeed, no matter when or where, peace is exceedingly rare and precious; war and upheaval are the main themes of the prosperous lands.

"I understand."

Tidel nodded,

"I will undertake the responsibilities I am meant to bear."

"Good, now continue expanding the territory for me, this is what you should do for me."

The Golden Dragon unabashedly demanded.

The Tidel couple and the two Knight Orders they commanded were the main forces which brought the Elidis Mountains under control. Although the Cloud Giant Army was good, its numbers were too few, and it also had duties to guard.

The so-called control is not merely conquering, aside from removing all creatures that disobey orders, it requires dispatching one’s own forces to station there, so that the resources on it can be regularly harvested and collected.

"Fine, fine, I’ll go expand the territory for the Great Lord Noah now!"

"Hmm, nice, once you conquer the entire mountainous region, this Great Lord will give you a substantial reward!"

The man and the dragon joked, Noah dissolved the spatial domain, and Tidel returned to the mountains.

Endless battles, bloodshed without end, rivalry, hunting, counter-hunting, death, rebirth, and rising—the mountains continuously exhibit these.

Noah, although aiming to make his voice the singular one in the mountainous region, could not yet change the most fundamental rules.

"The fruit is about to ripen!"

The golden branches of the Golden Tree Top, what drew the Golden Dragon’s eye the most was naturally the entirely crimson Blood Origin Fruit. The feedback from conquering the thousand miles of mountains made this fruit grow extremely plump, exuding an exceptionally sweet fragrance.
