Global Game: Developing a Knight Clan

Chapter 441 - 70: State of the Dragon Race; The Eight Great Dominators of the Stars

「The Karte World, in an uncharted expanse of the ocean.」

At this moment, the entire Dragon Island was enveloped in a spatial Barrier.

Over the course of nearly two thousand years, Dragon Island had recovered significantly by drawing on the Magic Power of the Karte World. The surface area of the disc-like, ring-shaped island had reached almost fifty million square kilometers.

It could already be considered an enormous continent.

However, Dragon Island itself was a product of Space, a creation more akin to a Divine Kingdom.

As the property of the Dragon God, Lince, the form Dragon Island revealed in the ocean was merely that of a small isle, less than ten thousand square kilometers in size.

But in truth, if any living creature were to charge onto this ’small island’...

...the next moment, a vast and entirely different world would unfold before its eyes.

Dragon Island adhered to a primordial ecosystem.

There were no technological creations here; it was a vast and verdant land, lush with greenery that formed deep shadows.

The vast, primeval jungles teemed with myriad birds and beasts.

There were ordinary beasts, and even more Low Tier Demon Beasts, but these were all just creatures allowed to roam free.

Their purpose was simply to add vitality to Dragon Island.

By now, the entire ecological chain of Dragon Island was long since complete.

The various Sub-dragons and members of the Pure-blooded Dragon Clan each had their own territories on Dragon Island.

At present, the population of the primeval Sub-dragon Species on the island had successfully reached one hundred thousand.

Ranging from Low Tier to High Tier, and while their numbers were great, reproduction was still, on the whole, very difficult.

As for the Pure-blooded Dragon Clan, the number of their descendants had long since approached three thousand.

After all, the Pure-blooded Dragon Clan’s reproduction was even more difficult than that of the Sub-dragon Species.

To have over two thousand descendants from the Pure-blooded Dragon Clan was already an incredible scale.

After all, according to the records of the Oakland Continent, the total population of the Pure-blooded Dragon Clan on the original Dragon Island was about the same.

Therefore, the current state of Dragon Island could be said to have recovered to the scale the Dragon Race possessed on the Oakland Continent ten thousand years ago.

However, while the scale had been matched and even surpassed, the quality was still somewhat lacking.

At present, the total number of Saint Tier beings in the entire Dragon Race on Dragon Island—counting the new generation, Players, and even transformed native creatures—was just over one thousand.

The number of Saint Tier members of the Pure-blooded Dragon Clan was not inferior to that of the original Dragon Race.

But as for the Demigod Tier... there were fewer.

Indeed, the number of Demigod Tier dragons in the entire Dragon Race had only just surpassed one hundred.

After all, these dragons did not have a system.

Moreover, very few among the Players were able to become part of the Dragon Race, as the screening process was extremely strict.

Thus, two thousand years was simply not enough time for a large number of Demigod Tier dragons to emerge.

And according to the memories of the Oakland Continent’s gods, the original Dragon Race had a considerable number of Demigod Tier members—at least five hundred.

That was more than five times the number of Demigod Tier dragons currently on Dragon Island.

As for Divine Tier Giant Dragons...

...besides the Ancient Three Dragon Gods, the original Dragon Race had nearly a hundred Divine Tier members.

To be honest, given the Dragon Race’s formidable Physique and aptitude for spellcasting, a force of this scale was truly terrifying on the Oakland Continent back then.

It’s no wonder the gods of the Oakland Continent were utterly cowed in the presence of the Dragon Race.

The words may be harsh, but that was the reality.

If that hadn’t been the case, the gods of the Oakland Continent alone would have never been able to fend off the repeated invasions from the Black Flame World.

And now, while the number of Divine Tier Giant Dragons among the Dragon Race of the Star Empire wasn’t particularly large...

...there were still fifty-one of them.

These fifty-one Divine Tier Giant Dragons were led by the fifteen elders of the Dragon Race.

Namely, they were led by Amos, Crimson, and the other dragons who were the first to receive Lince’s Divine Favor.

The fact that Giant Dragons like Aomos and Crimson were able to reach the Divine Tier in a mere two thousand years was, in the end, due to the abundance of Divine Favor.

After all, while Lince slumbered, his Dragon God Authority would automatically bestow large quantities of essence blood for ’Dragon Descendant Transformation’ every fifty years.

This Bloodline essence could transform beings into members of the Dragon Race, and it could also continuously strengthen the Bloodlines of dragons who consumed it.

This, in turn, accelerated their cultivation.

So, while there still didn’t seem to be many members of the Pure-blooded Dragon Clan...

...with the help of Lince’s Authority, the emergence of fifty-one Divine Tier Giant Dragons was a decent return on investment.

Of the fifty-one Divine Tier Giant Dragons, only twelve were individuals from the Star Empire who were transformed into dragons, rather than being born as one.

Seven of them were Players.

Five were beings of other races under the Star Empire’s command.

And among these five, there were two particularly special individuals.

These two special individuals were, of course, the founder of the Star Empire, Emperor York, and his wife, Empress Lucia.

As the founder of the Star Empire and his wife, the grace they received from the Divine Favor was naturally not to be underestimated.

However, despite receiving such extraordinary Divine Favor, their special status meant they rarely participated in any of the Dragon Race’s internal affairs.

’After all, they were practically ’retired’!’

Now, they no longer wished to involve themselves in any ’political’ matters. The Yorks’ thinking was simple: live out their days in retirement and serve the Dragon God with all their hearts.

The affairs of the Dragon Race were still managed by the fifteen dragon elders.

And that was the complete picture of the Dragon Race at present.

Of course, the so-called fifty-one Divine Tier Giant Dragons could now be considered fifty-two.

The other one was, of course, ’Cheng Hua’, who had just returned from Blue Star.

Fifty-two Divine Tier Giant Dragons.

Their strength varied greatly, ranging from those with the Legendary Level Bloodline of a Dragon King to those with Strong Dragon, ordinary, or Weak Dragon Level Bloodlines.

But no matter what, even a Divine Tier Giant Dragon with a mere Weak Dragon Level Bloodline...
