“I’ve asked the Topaz Dragon, and as you reminded me before, I didn’t mention you. I just said it was something I wanted for myself.”

“When the Topaz Dragon heard that I wanted the legacy of psychic abilities, it agreed without much thought. However, the condition for its agreement was that I would help it defeat the Storm Giant tribe.”

The Blue Dragon, Gulitia, spread her claws and said.

“Besides that, what about trading with gold coins, magical items, or valuable collectibles? Didn’t you ask about that?”

The Golden Hatchling frowned slightly and said.

Helping the Topaz Dragon defeat the Storm Giants? That’s much harder than a simple direct trade of treasures, and it introduces a lot of uncertainty.

Gulitia shook her head slightly and said in a low voice:

“I did ask, but the Topaz Dragon was very firm.”

“It’s currently preoccupied with the war against the Storm Giants and has lost interest in treasures. It’s solely focused on annihilating the Storm Giant tribe. The two forces are evenly matched, and the other powers of the Greyrock Isles are just watching from a distance, unwilling to intervene.”

“It said that if I help it defeat the Storm Giant tribe on the Greyrock Isles, it would share the part of its legacy related to psychic abilities. Otherwise, we can trade in other ways after it has crushed the Storm Giant tribe.”

After listening to Gulitia’s words, Saga’s expression became calm as he pondered.

A few seconds later, he looked up at the Blue Dragon and said:

“If I help it defeat the Storm Giant tribe, and play a crucial role, then its psychic ability legacy won’t be enough as a reward.”

“Did you ask it about this?”

The Blue Dragon thought for a moment, then scratched her head and replied with embarrassment, “I didn’t think that far.”

In front of Saga’s slightly dark dragon face, she quickly continued:

“However, the Topaz Dragon did mention that it doesn’t care about the territory of the Storm Giant tribe. It simply wants the group of Storm Giants on the Greyrock Isles dead. It can’t stand living in the same area as the Storm Giants, and the mere smell of their scent in the air makes it want to vomit.”

“It said that if I can help it exterminate the Storm Giant tribe, the territory of the Storm Giant tribe can be mine, of course, provided that I can defend it.”

Hearing this, Saga’s gaze narrowed slightly as he murmured, “In that case, it seems worthwhile to become enemies with the Storm Giants.”

Saga had no fondness for giants.

Influenced by the Dragon legacy, he even had an innate aversion to them.

In ancient times, the Dragon race was not only a dominant species but also ruled the skies, lands, and seas of endless planes and worlds, governing all territories. However, the throne of the Dragon race, once the sole hegemony of the multiverse, later shattered, and the giants played the role of the Dragon race’s archenemies in this process.

Countless eons, countless plane worlds.

As a powerful race whose footprints covered the multiverse, dragons and giants had waged countless wars, trampling over each other’s bones, and the racial hatred between them reached an irreconcilable level.

“Racial hatred. I also have a natural aversion to giants in my heart, which I felt the last time I saw a giant skeleton.”

“However, racial hatred doesn’t have much of an impact on me, and the feeling of disgust can’t sway my decisions.”

“If there’s no benefit, I can’t accept the trouble of dealing with the Storm Giants just because of a bit of disgust.”

Saga thought silently.

“Moon Bay has now stabilized, and I won’t stay here forever. I’ve already decided to go to the prosperous and powerful Yar Continent, to see the many kingdoms, city-states, and even empires that stand tall on the Yar Continent.”

“The Greyrock Isles are located on the edge of the Vortex Sea and are geographically close to the Yar Continent, also near one of the seas of the Yar Continent, the Western Sea, spanning both the Western Sea and the Vortex Sea, at the junction of the two.”

“Moon Bay is too narrow and remote. If I want to go to the Yar Continent in the future, I need a place closer, a base camp of sufficient scale to provide me with various resources. The Greyrock Isles, spanning the Western Sea and the Vortex Sea, are a good choice.”

As his thoughts turned, Saga slowly made a decision:

“Take over the territory of the Storm Giant tribe and first obtain a territory on the Greyrock Isles.”

According to Saga’s development plan, obtaining the psychic ability legacy from the Topaz Dragon became secondary.

“The Greyrock Isles are not like Moon Bay; the many forces here are much stronger.”

“I don’t need to rush. I’ll wait until I enter the Hatchling stage, when my life level has improved a bit more, then go to the Greyrock Isles. Before that, I’ll finish developing the gem mines of Moon Bay, and if the situation allows, explore the sea tombs of Thorn Isle.”

Saga thought this way.

He was now approaching five years old.

From one to five years old is the Hatchling stage.

Only when six years old and above does one enter the Hatchling stage.

“However, I’ve been feeling a bit tired lately.”

“I guess I’m about to undergo a long period of sleep and growth, and it’s very possible to sleep straight into the Hatchling stage without doing anything.”

Because of the existence of the Dragon legacy, all dragons know that they are destined to become legendary creatures, sooner or later.

Therefore, not all dragons are as self-disciplined as Saga, willing to endure the tedium and actively develop their legacy. After all, doing nothing also guarantees they will become powerful, which is a downside brought about by the Dragon legacy and their naturally high potential.

Dragons revere strength and pursue power.

However, most dragons are not willing to lower their quality of life in pursuit of power. Well, this so-called quality of life is just eating, playing, and sleeping daily. It’s a contradictory mentality, but it definitely exists.

The growth of ordinary dragons mainly relies on sleep.

As time passes, once a True Dragon’s body has accumulated enough foundation, it will begin a long period of sleep, which is completely different from normal sleep. During this sleep, all aspects of the True Dragon’s attributes will grow at a rate several times, or even dozens of times faster than usual.

The younger the dragon, the more frequent the growth through sleep, but the sleep duration won’t be very long.

If it’s an older True Dragon, the frequency of this growth-related sleep will be very low, but once it comes, it will sleep for a very long time.

Saga looked at the Blue Dragon and said, “Gulitia, I have another task for you.”

Ah?

Gulitia, who had just returned from the Greyrock Isles and hadn’t had a chance to catch her breath, froze.

She subconsciously wanted to refuse.

But seeing the gentle smile hanging on Saga’s faceplate and the encouraging look in his golden dragon eyes, Gulitia suddenly felt motivated and said with full spirit, “No problem, what’s the task? Leave it to me!”

I’m going to max out the favor of this ‘Legendary Primordial Dragon’!

Hehe, what kind of treasures will it reward me with in the future?

Saga took out a gold coin and handed it to the Blue Dragon.

“Here, this is your payment for going to the Greyrock Isles, paid in advance.”

“The task is worth another gold coin, which I’ll give you after you return.”

The Blue Dragon didn’t disdain the single gold coin because she felt it was just a test from the Legendary Primordial Dragon. She solemnly picked up the gold coin and tucked it under the scales on her neck.

Without waiting for Saga to inform her, Gulitia proactively asked, “What exactly is the task this time?”

Saga gazed in the direction of Thorn Isle and gave the Blue Dragon the coordinates and direction of Thorn Isle.

“Take a trip to Thorn Isle, meet with the ruler there, the Crimson Flame Empress, and tell her that I wish to visit Thorn Isle. Determine her reaction and answer, then come back and tell me.”

The Golden Hatchling said quietly.

“Thorn Isle?”

The Blue Dragon followed Saga’s gaze in the direction of Thorn Isle.

The direction and distance mentioned by Saga felt somewhat familiar.

After coming to her senses, Gulitia’s dragon face covered in fine blue scales showed shock, and she stuttered with full admiration and awe, “You mean the Hell Empress of Thorn Isle, who recently ravaged the Rosen Kingdom, killed two legends on human kingdom territory and then left unscathed, later causing the Mechanar Empire’s Divine Fist to retaliate and attracting the attention of the Eternal and Time Dragon for rescue?”

Saga was slightly taken aback.

Ravaging the Rosen Kingdom? Killing two legends? The Hell Empress?

Was he talking about the Red Dragoness?

Saga only knew that the Red Dragoness was targeted by the Mechanar Empire, but he was not clear about the specific reasons.

“Where did you hear this from?”

The Blue Dragon showed an excited look and replied, “The clash between the Dragon God and the empire’s iron fist, that grand scene, I saw it too, and all the creatures of the Greyrock Isles saw it.”

“The temporary end of the war between the Topaz Dragon and the Storm Giant tribe was because they saw this scene unfold in the middle of their conflict, and they lost the will to continue fighting. Otherwise, their conflict and war would have lasted much longer, with many more casualties.”

“As for the news of the Hell Empress’s rampage in the Rosen Kingdom, it came from the Dwarven Commonwealth within the Greyrock Isles. They said the Rosen Kingdom launched the fourth island conquest against Thorn Isle, which angered the Hell Empress. After defeating the Rosen Kingdom’s army, the Hell Empress went straight to the Rosen Kingdom’s main territory.”

“Now the Hell Empress’s name is known far and wide among countless sapient nations, and many sapient beings are scared out of their wits at the mention of the Hell Empress.”

As she spoke, the Blue Dragon looked like a little fan of the ‘Hell Empress.’

The fourth island conquest, the Hell Empress, Saga gradually understood the reasons.

“The Rosen Kingdom and the Mechanar Empire have deep diplomatic relations. It’s probably because of the damage to the Rosen Kingdom that the Red Dragoness attracted the Mechanar Empire’s retaliation.”

“But… how did the Red Dragoness become so powerful?”

Saga, who knew the Red Dragoness well, couldn’t help but be puzzled.

As a legendary Red Dragon, the Red Dragoness’s strength was unquestionable.

But to single-handedly invade a kingdom’s territory, kill two legends on their land, and then leave unscathed was a bit too strong. After all, the Red Dragoness was still just a mature dragon. Although she had stepped into the legendary realm due to her excellent talent, it didn’t mean she could rampage through a kingdom at will.

“Is it related to the frequent eruptions of Yakan Volcano?”

Saga, with his sharp mind, connected the dots of what felt abnormal and made a guess.

“Eight or nine out of ten, the Red Dragoness asking me to leave Thorn Isle probably has something to do with the situation at Yakan Volcano.”

With Saga’s strength at the time, it was indeed time to leave the nest for the more ferocious five-colored dragons. However, the Red Dragoness was quite fond of Saga, and under normal circumstances, she would have protected him until he was five or six years old.

When the Red Dragoness suddenly wanted Saga to leave Thorn Isle, he was somewhat puzzled.

“The Hell Empress… the Red Dragoness’s new title is more domineering than before.”

“So… if the Red Dragoness has already solved her problems and her strength has surged, can I return to Thorn Isle and continue my carefree mama’s boy dragon life?”

Saga fell into deep thought.
