Starting with watering the World Tree for otherworldly survival

How difficult that is!

Whether they are tyrannical chromatic dragons or proud metallic dragons, the pride of true dragons will never allow them to submit to their own kind or other species.

Even when Yan Ling was imprisoned, despite Qin He's claim of being the Dragon Emperor and possessing the bloodline of a supreme god, and despite the vast difference in their power levels, she did not immediately surrender to Qin He.

Only when she truly developed feelings for Qin He did Yan Ling willingly stay by his side. Sang Shen and Mo Yu, on the other hand, were more like companions on a journey—

This shows how difficult it is to gain the loyalty of a true dragon.

But the Purple Dragons had enough capital to support their arrogance towards their own kind. Among the colorful dragons, there was once a saying:

"Compare strength with the red dragon, power with the blue dragon, and wisdom with the green dragon; overwhelm the black and white dragons in every way. Only then can you be a truly excellent evil dragon."

Coincidentally, the Purple Dragon possesses this advantage. It can rival the Red Dragon and even the Lesser Dragon in strength. Although its population size is insufficient to form a tribe like the Blue Dragon, it can still use its power to win over its own dragon horde.

If all else fails, you can always collect dragon eggs to raise.

As for the most important element, wisdom, Shiryu can rival even the cunning Green Dragons. By planning ahead and making thorough preparations before acting, Shiryu, even in small numbers, is undoubtedly the most formidable enemy.

Now, the Purple Dragon, launching a surprise attack on the Golden Dragon, possesses even more formidable lower-tier eighth-order power. Faced with this terrifying entity that has suddenly entered the battle, the Golden Dragon is already drenched in sweat!

If it were a fully grown red dragon, the golden dragon might be able to try negotiating and bluffing.

Using the pretext of "joining forces to clean up our battlefield and annihilate the despicable dragons," they joined forces with the arrogant red dragon to eliminate the Azure Rathalos and Pink Rathian.

Most red dragons are indeed happy to display their power in this way. There are also some that are straightforward and will fight the gold dragons to the death without hesitation.

If we win, then we'll take down the flying dragon.

As for the most cunning and shrewd group, they would clearly calculate the gap between themselves and the golden dragon. They would let the two fire dragons weaken the golden dragon more before making their move.

Of course, that wouldn't look like a red dragon.

But the Purple Dragon will never accept this. It will try to scare away the two fire dragons and then use its power to make the Golden Dragon bow down.

Alternatively, if it is not strict with its followers, it might even beat up Azure Rathalos and Pink Rathian and capture them to become its subordinates.

It must be said that Shiryu is very good at choosing his timing. Just now, the Golden Dragon and the Azure Rathalos that appeared were locked in a fierce battle, and the Pink Rathalos also joined the fray, making the battle extremely intense.

The prepared antidote spells were no match for the poisoning efficiency of the two dragons' alternating attacks.

After the fierce battle just now, Jinlong felt a deep sense of helplessness, as if he had no way to use his strength.

At the same time, you have to deal with the Azure Rathalos flying overhead, its swift and agile claw attacks and tail sweeps. On the other hand, you also have to be wary of the Pink Rathalos's continuous bites and pounces on the ground.

The breath attack will be defended together, and the pounce will be dodged. Then the Azure Rathalos will pounce on its back, intercepting the Pink Rathian's charge head-on.

While searching through inherited memories, Jinlong kept looking for a way to deal with both Azure Rathalos and Pink Rathian at the same time.

Concentrating on finding a strategy to counter the enemy, they overlooked their own enormous advantages over the enemy. Soon, Jinlong found himself in an unwarranted disadvantage.

Jinlong is like someone who's studied so hard he's dizzy, holding a prepared set of review questions, ready to fill out the exam. But the actual exam questions he receives are twice as difficult.

I could have solved it myself, but it was just a pop quiz. Cheating to find the answers only dragged out the time.

The situation, which could have been handled, was lost due to the rigid adherence to combat tactics.

For the golden dragon, the battle had transformed from an easy and enjoyable subjugation into a serious and devastating ordeal. Not to mention, a purple dragon had also appeared...

From tense to apprehensive, Jinlong's movements became increasingly strained in the face of the two dragons' attack.

Even if it conserves its strength to be on guard, how much resistance does it have against a lower-level eighth-rank purple dragon?

As the blade-like breath swept towards him, the golden dragon suddenly regretted his decision to blast the Azure Fire Dragon away. If he had been able to grab the Azure Fire Dragon and use its body to block the blade-like breath, he might have been able to hold out a little longer.

It is born with three breath weapons: fire breath, blinding breath, and now, a blade breath that is unique among dragons and is being slashed at itself.

If struck by this thing, the damage to the dragon's body would be considerable. Dodging the attacks with all its might, the golden dragon escaped injury, but was forced into an even more chaotic and desperate situation by the two fire dragons.

After missing his attack, the Purple Dragon, who had just entered the battle, also leaped out of the shadows and stood in front of the three dragons.

"Jinlong, you seem to be in some trouble. Do you need my help?"

Purple Dragon possesses a special status, treating all dragons—colorful dragons, metallic dragons, and so on—equally. Regardless of which side of the dragon you belong to, as long as you are powerful, you can be dominated by Purple Dragon.

Then Zilong will not treat them differently and will only try to bring them under his command.

"Haha~ No trouble at all."

Jinlong knew that his biggest trouble was the Purple Dragon in front of him. What was even more damning was that Azure Rathalos and Pink Rathalos were not intimidated by the Purple Dragon's appearance.

These two savage dragons now seized the opportunity to deal with the golden dragon even more. In their eyes, as long as the purple dragon didn't attack again, they had no reason to flee.

"Alright, you can choose to continue fighting these two fire dragons on your own. We'll talk about my business after you're done."

After his sneak attack with his breath attack, Zilong actually stopped attacking for the time being and openly watched the battle from here?

Jinlong knew that he could no longer break the deadlock on his own strength.

In the end, the worst that can happen is that they win against the fire dragon. Then they'll get a beating from the purple dragon and be captured to become its familiar.

Even if it tries to escape, it can't. A fully-fledged eighth-tier lower-level purple dragon in its prime could definitely stop it. Afterwards, it would still get a beating and be captured to become a familiar.

Bursting with nameless rage, the golden dragon decided to vent it on the two fire dragons. Its next step was to fight with all its might, deliberately expending its own power.

After defeating the fire dragon, the exhausted gold dragon seemed unable to deal with the purple dragon. But in fact, this was exactly the outcome it wanted—the purple dragon would wait for the gold dragon to recover before engaging in battle, for the sake of fairness.

This seemingly straightforward behavior was actually intended to make Jinlong accept defeat wholeheartedly.

If Zilong were to strike while Jinlong was already exhausted and win the battle, even if Jinlong were to win, he would not consider the battle fair.

What the purple dragon craves is the sense of conquest that comes from suppressing other dragons with power; it's in their nature.

While focusing all its efforts on Azure Rathalos and Pink Rathian, the Gold Dragon should try to slow things down as much as possible. It also needs to contend with the Purple Dragon, who will soon recruit it as a fighter.

I don't have a good impression of Shiryu. These domineering Shiryu clearly want to beat me to my knees and take me back as their servants...

"Human knight, find a way to call for mercenaries now. The sooner the better! This purple dragon may very well seize your city-state and demand your submission."

"I can't hold it off for long. If you don't want to see your home become the Purple Dragon's territory, find some guys who can handle this before I get beaten down!"

In his anxiety, Jinlong's telepathic messages to the noblewoman were deliberately embellished.

Admittedly, Shiryu's ambition and desire for control might lead him to seize human city-states or kingdoms. However, without matching power, Shiryu will not act rashly.

A lower-ranking eighth-tier purple dragon doesn't yet have the power to conquer a city-state as its own territory. Even if it suppresses the city lord, there's still the power of a kingdom above it.

Unless it's during a time of war, when the dukes and lords in various regions are too busy to intervene, an eighth-tier purple dragon wouldn't dare to directly occupy a city and declare itself king.

Jinlong said this only to make the noblewoman realize the seriousness of the situation.

At the same time, Jinlong also tossed a gemstone he carried with him into the noblewoman's backpack.

This natural yellow diamond is imbued with the lucky charm of a golden dragon, bringing good fortune to its owner.

If I'm really unlucky and get captured by Zilong and made his subordinate... then I can only hope that the noble girl will be lucky and bring mercenaries to rescue me.

Thinking of this, Jinlong was also glad that he was facing a purple dragon. As long as he maintained an ambiguous attitude, neither submitting nor refusing to become a servant in the short term, then... the purple dragon in front of him should not kill him.

If the purple dragon gets angry, the worst that can happen is death. A hundred years later, it will be a good dragon again.

At the same time, Zilong took out a magic mirror from his spatial scale. Reflected on it was the Green Dragon's stolen lair... and Qin Xinru and Zhong Xiling!

From the very beginning, this purple dragon had been keeping an eye on the movements within the forest. It knew about the death of the green dragon Nomis and was aware of Qin Xinru and the others' whereabouts.

"What are you peeking at, you little rascal?"

Suddenly, the magic mirror shattered on the spot!

Then, reflected in the shattered glass, were Tiamat's five-colored dragon heads!

……

the other side.

Tiamat's shrine flickered slightly, and then the queen of dragons reminded the two of something:

"You are very lucky. You will soon have two powerful dragon bloods that you can use to cultivate Dragon Origin Battle Qi. One is from an outstanding purple dragon, and the other is from a powerful gold dragon."

Once Tiamat establishes contact with Qin Xinru and Zhong Xiling through the shrine, she will be able to explore the world around her through this small artifact.

This time, Zilong happened to be accompanying the shrine when he used the magic mirror to spy on Qin Xinru and her group. Naturally, Tiamat noticed this.

"Actually, that purple dragon can be kept; it has good potential. You also need stronger fighters—that purple dragon is more useful than the mechanical amethyst dragon."

Although she was reluctant to admit it, Tiamat did indeed admire the creations of her sister, the Three-Tailed Dragon Queen.

The Purple Dragon is undoubtedly a successful dragon breed. If properly nurtured, it will certainly become a formidable fighting force.

With the help of the Purple Dragon, they were able to subdue all kinds of adult seventh-tier dragons one by one.

Chapter 242 The Real Queen's Plan

Tiamat shattered Shiryu's magic mirror, and with her supreme and unparalleled queenly demeanor, she intimidated Shiryu into kneeling on the spot!

Even though her blood was screaming and urging her to stand up, she just couldn't...

Even though Zilong was the creation of the Three-Tailed Dragon Queen, and the most outstanding of the iridescent dragons, she still had no ability to contend with the unparalleled half-step Creation Realm expert before her.

"Tiamat... Your... thou...!"

For Shiryu, even mentioning the first four words was enough to ignite immense anger. But Tiamat's unparalleled power compelled him to add a title of respect.

He addressed the most hated enemy from the source of his bloodline as "Your Majesty," each word deliberate and succinct. Right now, Shiryu felt as if he had devoured an undead creature.

"Very good, little rebellious purple dragon. What do you want? The allegiance of a golden dragon?"

After defeating her sister, who was also her mortal enemy, the three-tailed dragon, Tiamat's true form preserved her sister's power in remembrance of her.

Upon seeing Tiamat's true form—a deep brown dragon tail with purple stripes—Shiryu could barely suppress the deepest, most profound restlessness within his bloodline.

"Yes……"

Unwilling to utter a single word to Tiamat, this young purple dragon possessed her own pride.

"Hmm, let me guess. You want immense power to support your ambition, and you want to subdue chromatic dragons, metallic dragons, and gem dragons like collecting gold coins."

Tiamat has only one consciousness, but she speaks using the corresponding dragon head according to her mood.

The current speculation revolves around Tiamat's head, which represents the green dragon.

"Yes."

Zilong felt the immense pressure on her body lessen, and she continued to answer.

I never imagined that I would attract Tiamat's attention in such a remote jungle!

Being targeted by this queen of colorful dragons can have a fate worse than death!

As a relatively powerless eighth-tier dragon, the Purple Dragon had to be extremely careful. If he angered Tiamat, even if she didn't destroy his soul on the spot, he might be torn apart by the Red Dragon one day.

"Hmm... After that, you'll go to hell. Gather your strength for the upcoming battle for the Chosen Ones, waiting for an opportunity to kill me?"

"Then, along with the other purple dragons, you dedicated yourself to the cause of defeating the evil dragon queen. Am I right? Little purple dragon, you want to dedicate your life to revenge!"

The green dragon head asked a deadly question, and if the purple dragon continued to answer "yes" foolishly as before, then death was certain to await it!

Tiamat could easily kill a soul and then transplant it into the body of the Purple Dragon, injecting a brand new, loyal soul.

Of course, she usually disdained such things. Tiamat would only send all the foolish souls to hell.

Unable to answer any further, Shiryu made the most correct decision of her life. She handed over the control of her life to the dragon queen Tiamat.

Ignoring the surging hatred within his bloodline, he suppressed the raging blood within him with all his might. Within his sea of ​​consciousness, Zilong's soul bowed its head to Tiamat.

"Hehehe~ Very well, now I'll give you a way out. A way out that allows you to become stronger and take revenge on me! Just do as I say... After that, you can fight freely and take other dragons as your followers."

Zilong was surprised.

Even with Tiamat's immortal power, no matter how much strength the Purple Dragons accumulate or how many powerful beings they create, they cannot exorcise this evil god from the world.

But how could Tiamat allow a dragon that harbors hatred towards her to exist? And why would she spare the life of the purple dragon before her?

“Tiamat… Your Majesty, you know where my bloodline comes from. Please forgive me for being unable to tell you…”

Zilong subconsciously believed that Tiamat wanted to subdue him and make him worship the evil dragon queen.

“My condition is not that you must believe in me. I have not stooped to the point of treating the lives left behind by my dead sisters as my own daughters.”

"I want you to pledge allegiance to two humans—the mothers of two future Dragon Emperors."

As she spoke, Tiamat projected images of Qin Xinru and Zhong Xiling onto Zilong.

"See that? Those are the two lucky humans you've been spying on."

"You're still eyeing the treasures they've acquired, like a pitiful vulture waiting to snatch it. But! They're already destined to stand at the top of the world."

Then Tiamat recounted the origins of Qin He and Zhong Liuxiu to Zilong in front of her.
