98: The Black King departs, the four monarchs slumber, and a new era begins with Hilbert Jean Angers!

【Mid-Sixth Epoch, the slumbering Black King felt the call of God. In a hazy dream, he saw the Creator God of this world.】

【The eternal Sacred Terra.】

【Sacred Terra informed the Black King of the impending internal strife. The Black King was enraged, vowing to eliminate the corrupt Dragon Clan. However, Sacred Terra told him to proactively distance himself from this continent.】

【The Black King was puzzled. He didn't understand why Terra would do this.】

【But due to the dignity of the Dragon Clan, even if it was a request from Sacred Terra, the Black King would not accept it. He would rather kill all the Dragon Clan and then commit suicide than surrender easily.】

“As expected.”

Su Bai said faintly, having long anticipated such a situation.

Indeed,

He had a way to make the Black King completely submit to him. If that didn't work, Su Bai could even abandon this template and move on to the next one.

But what if he encountered such a situation again?

Would he give up again?

It was still the same statement,

Su Bai was God, the Creator, the Creator God of this world!

He didn't need the absolute submission of living beings.

Such extraordinary beings, to him, were no different from puppets!

Like walking corpses.

No matter how powerful, they would lose a unique spirit and vitality, making it difficult to progress. Everything would proceed according to the Creator's will, like a machine—perfect, precise, but… lacking a trace of life.

Su Bai didn't need such a lifeless world.

The Dragon Clan wanted to be proud, didn't they?

Good.

Then he would grant them their pride!

As the Creator, he had enough confidence not to let these beings get out of control.

As long as they could demonstrate sufficient value,

Su Bai didn't mind the slight transgressions of his creations.

But the premise… was that they could truly show enough value. Otherwise, Su Bai wouldn't mind eradicating some disobedient extraordinary civilizations… 【The Black King's refusal did not come as a surprise to you. You used divine power, and with a dizzying turn, you actually took the Black King away from the Dragon Clan Continent.】

【Vast sea and sky!】

【An indescribably vast world. For the first time since his birth, the Black King left the Dragon Clan Continent. Looking at this unfamiliar world before him, he deeply felt his own insignificance. It turned out that the continent he was on was just a small part of the world.】

【‘I grant you the opportunity to break free from your shackles. You can take one-third of the Dragon Clan, cross the vast ocean, and go to the boundless outer world.’】

【Sacred Terra said so.】

【The Black King, however, fell silent. He looked at the magnificent deity before him but never fully knelt. The pride of the Dragon Clan made him unable to humble himself, even when facing a revered god.】

【‘I refuse.’ The Black King said to the god before him.】

【A Dragon has a Dragon's pride, and a Dragon's faith. If he were to abandon even his last shred of bottom line, how could he be called the Black King?】

【He was a Dragon King, a true Dragon King!】

【The Dragon King’s voice came clearly. You did not answer, but instead continued to move forward with him, traversing mountains and seas. After an unknown period of advancement, finally, a continent appeared in the distance, and in the center of the continent, a towering tree could vaguely be seen.】

【The aura of the tree of life!】

【The Black King suddenly froze, then somewhat unnaturally sniffed his nose, carefully maintaining his dignity, but ultimately revealing a flaw. A hint of indulgence appeared in his eyes…】

“You little rascal, trying to fight me?”

Su Bai grinned. The tree of life indeed had an effect on the Black King, so the rest would not be difficult.

As expected,

Upon seeing the tree of life, the Black King, despite his utmost restraint, could not suppress the urge from deep within his bloodline.

This feeling,

Was like a dog seeing a bone, a cat smelling catnip, or a little ‘black fan’ seeing their ‘Gege’… irresistible and impossible to ignore!

Under this increasingly strong impulse, the Black King finally succumbed. When Sacred Terra questioned him again, the Black King hesitated for a long time,

But helplessly,

The tree of life in the distance was like a naked young woman, constantly seducing him… Ultimately,

The Black King couldn't resist. He agreed to Sacred Terra's request… 【Late Sixth Epoch, the Black King awakened, commanding the dragons. This slumbering Dragon King once again displayed his might!】

【In an instant, one-third of the Dragon Clan submitted to the Black King, gathering in the mountain range perpetually covered in ice and snow, lying dormant for thousands of years…】

【Early Seventh Epoch!】

【Unexpectedly by the Four Great Monarchs and humans, the Black King departed! He claimed to be searching for the world's boundaries. Thus, the Dragon Clan Continent lost its ruler, and the great mountain above the heads of the Four Great Monarchs and humans disappeared!】

【A new era had dawned!】

【Milestone event 'New Era', reward creation points +1000】

【The Black King departed, the Dragon Clan went into hiding. Without the Black King, the supreme ruler, the Dragon Clan was governed by the Four Great Monarchs. However, not long after, the Four Great Monarchs claimed to have heard the voice of God.】

【And simultaneously fell into slumber!】

【The Dragon Clan was leaderless! And humans, having accumulated power over a long period, finally gained enough strength to wage war against the Dragon Clan!】

【Under the leadership of the Half-bloods, humans, who had been enslaved for several epochs, went to war against their masters!】

【The racial war suddenly began!】

【This great war lasted for thousands of years. The Dragon Clan, at its peak, numbered nearly ten thousand. When the racial war ended, fewer than a hundred dragons remained!】

【The Dragon Clan was defeated!】

【Humans, led by the Half-bloods, successfully defeated the Dragon Clan, thus ushering in an era dominated by humans!】

【As the defeated Dragon Clan, to avoid complete extinction, some traveled across the vast ocean, attempting to find the former Black King and restore the glory of the Dragon Clan.】

【Another part closed the Nibelungen, thenceforth falling into slumber…】

【Nibelungen: The Dragon Clan’s exceptional mental power allowed them to vaguely perceive the existence of the heaven and earth secret realm, ‘Eden’. Relying on Eden, they created a special space similar to an illusion, existing in reality, but without the master’s permission, outsiders could only wander nearby, never truly entering!】

“This is an unexpected pleasant surprise.”

Su Bai nodded, “It is said that the Dragon Clan has two different classifications. One leans towards physique, similar to ‘breaking all laws’, purely crushing everything with physical strength.”

“The other specializes in mental power, researching various Dragon language magic, ultimately forming many terrifying forbidden spells!”

“Perhaps, they can be arranged to develop in these two directions.”

Su Bai had a vague plan for the Dragon Clan's advancement path, but it would likely be a long time before it was realized.

His attention returned to the present.

In the simulator, the era of the Four Great Monarchs ended, smoothly transitioning to the era ruled by Half-bloods.

The Dragon Era transitioned to the Human Era, and familiar plotlines continuously unfolded. Thousands of years of human history, in Su Bai's eyes, were just a few insignificant pieces of data:

【The Black King departed, and no new dragon ever became the Black King. Humans coveted the power of Word Spirit, mating young women with dragons, thereby giving birth to many Half-bloods.】

【At the same time, to prevent the Dragon Clan from making a comeback.】

【Humans formed the Secret Party and set up a Dragon Slaying Plan, vowing to kill all dragons in the world!】

【Time passed, and the world changed drastically.】

【In a blink of an eye, humans had ruled the Dragon Clan Continent for over a thousand years. Everything from the past had become a legend, turning into mottled fragments in the rolling torrent of history.】

【Humans began their own civilization.】

【After a long era, the initial four great civilizations were born. Subsequently, the other three ancient civilizations gradually perished, with only one civilization from the Far East surviving. Afterwards, Eastern and Western civilizations split, embarking on two different paths.】

【Time came to 332 BC.】

【Alexander the Great's Eastern Expedition, discovering the ancient text 'Emerald Tablet' (which recorded the Alchemy that the Dragon Clan had once developed to its peak).】

【Then, many years passed. In 283 BC, the Emerald Tablet was burned. Norton and Constantine, the Bronze and Fire King, one of the Four Great Monarchs, awakened in the Northern Regions, roaring across the world!】

【Norton awakened and, seeing this era of the declining Dragon Clan, felt disappointed. He took his brother, Constantine, on a long journey, traveling thousands of miles to China, which was then in the early 1st century AD.】

【From 24 AD to 36 AD, Norton, under the alias Li Xiong, helped a warlord named Gongsun Shu in his conquests. With the help of Dragon King Norton, Gongsun Shu successfully became emperor. However, not long after, Liu Xiu, the Son of Heaven, led his army to attack!】

【The power of the two great Dragon Kings was terrifying, and Liu Xiu's army was in dire straits. However, at this moment, perhaps by coincidence, or perhaps by necessity, the always incredibly solid heaven and earth fetal membrane suddenly developed a brief loophole.】

【A meteorite from outer space fell to the earth, directly stunning the two great Dragon Kings. Subsequently, Liu Xiu's army, taking advantage of this momentum, successfully defeated Gongsun Shu. The two great Dragon Kings, whose momentum was gone, were forced to enter Bronze City, cocoon themselves, and fall into slumber…】

Su Bai stared at this information for a long time before dryly uttering a sentence:

“As expected of the Son of Heaven…”

The simulator continued to advance:

【On May 30, 1626, at 9 AM, the King of Earth and Mountain awakened and unleashed the Word Spirit 'Shiva's Dance of Destruction', causing a massive explosion, historically known as the 'Wanggongchang Great Explosion'!】

【Subsequently, the King of Earth and Mountain fell into slumber again…】

The timeline was still moving forward,

Until Su Bai saw a name, then he paused briefly:

【October 27, 1878, Hilbert Jean Anjou was born!】
