Martial Emperor!

That child was not born as an egg; he was conceived and born normally, just like a human being.

His skin was yellow, his eyes were golden Dragon Eyes, and the blood of Ancient Dragon flowed in his veins.

Both White Dragon Kan Gong and Black Dragon Li Shang considered him their offspring because the child shared the same bloodline as the two dragons.

Neither dragon could persuade the other, so they made a pact.

That is to let the child point out who his father is.

On the day the child turned one month old, the two dragons appeared before him at the same time, and the child's actions once again surprised everyone.

The children simultaneously pointed at Erlong with both hands.

This result was unexpected by everyone.

Several years later, when the child was old enough to speak, he said directly that both dragons were his fathers.

The Black and White Sects thus perished, while the Twin Dragons Cult came to an end and became the core of the nation.

The Twin Dragons Cult gradually began to promote the so-called true dragon bloodline.

They say that only those with the blood of a true dragon can become king.

The true dragon bloodline means possessing the bloodline of two dragons!

Both dragons originated from the Dragon God and each inherited half of the Dragon God's power. So, wouldn't the fusion of their bloodlines create a true dragon?

This condition was extremely demanding, and it was precisely because of this that the child's bloodline became the only true dragon bloodline.

In other words, he will become the next king.

And the king after him can only be his son!

Because only he possesses the bloodline of a true dragon!

This directly changed the Dragon Country's original system of abdication of the throne into a hereditary system!

To some extent, this view may not be wrong.

The idea of the true dragon bloodline is precisely what the Twin Dragons Cult advocates as the best way to resolve the conflict between the two dragons!

Both dragons are dragons, but when two dragons are combined, they become a true dragon.

The throne is inherited by the offspring of the two dragons, and the two dragons are equal in status.

And even if the two fathers don't get along, they shouldn't harm the child, right?

Children are kings, and both morally and logically, they will spare no effort to make the country better.

Moreover, dragon blood is extremely powerful. Dragon sons with a half-dragon, half-human form possess the powerful strength of Ancient Dragon. The strong become kings, and the sons of true dragons are rightfully so. Who wouldn't agree?

And the child born to the son of the true dragon also possesses the great power of the true dragon, so why not let him be the next king?

The Twin Dragons Cult's claims have gained acceptance among the majority of the public.

The king also readily removed his crown and abdicated the throne to the dragon prince when the prince was ten years old.

But even today, the name of this dragon son is still undetermined.

Because the Dragon Country has a tradition of sons inheriting their fathers' surnames, and both dragons are his fathers, the other party will certainly not be satisfied no matter whose surname the dragon son takes.

Then someone came up with a solution: why not take the surnames of both dragons and use them as names, one before the other?

But then another problem arises: whose surname should come first, and whose surname should come last?

This matter was disputed for several months, and finally the two dragons went directly to Ye Long and asked him to make the judgment.

Ye Long was so annoyed by their argument that he directly suggested using the character "Long" as his surname.

And so the dragon prince's name was decided: Long Chen.

In the 37th year of the Dragon Calendar, when Long Chen was 22 years old, he relinquished his title of king, changed his name to emperor, and proclaimed himself Long Wu.

Long Chen (Martial Emperor)

From that time onward, the Dragon Country was officially renamed the Longwu Empire.

Over the years, the Dragon Kingdom has been plagued by foreign invasions, by a group of uncivilized savages.

Or to be more precise, they were a group of orcs.

The other side worships a God of Nature, and they migrated from the south of the Longwu Empire in a very large number.

Those orcs, who lived with wild beasts, were constantly driven back by the two dragons over the years, but they were like flies, impossible to kill completely. Every time one group was killed, another would appear.

Therefore, the first thing Long Chen needs to do is to eliminate the external enemies.

If you can't even deal with the ruthless bandits on your own doorstep, how can you pacify the world?

Long Chen was brave and valiant, and personally led his troops into battle. In his early years, he was revered as the Martial Emperor.

He was deeply loved by both civilians and soldiers. He possessed the benevolence of Kan Gong and the ruthlessness of Li Shang, combining both strength and gentleness to govern effectively.

But the more this is the case, the more afraid people become.

They feared that Emperor Wu would leave them. A wise and virtuous ruler is rare indeed. If Emperor Wu were to die on the battlefield while personally leading the expedition, it would be a regret for all time.

Emperor Wu's ancestors were mostly licentious and had very weak moral values, and they had fathered many descendants over the years.

However, Emperor Wu never married and had no descendants.

In other words, if Emperor Wu dies, the true dragon bloodline will be severed, and the dragon surname will end there.

Therefore, the ministers repeatedly suggested that Emperor Wu should take a wife.

However, Emperor Wu only said eight words: "If the barbarians are not eliminated, how can we have a home?"

The ministers could not persuade Emperor Wu, and so the war continued for four years.

Martial Emperor Long Chen, led his troops in over a hundred battles against the alien race, ultimately wiping them out. Only a few aliens managed to escape to the desolate lands of the south.

The 41st year of the Dragon Calendar.

Emperor Wu pacified the southern barbarian tribes, the crisis was over, and the Longwu era was in full swing, with the whole country celebrating.

Emperor Wu celebrated with the people, and in the same year, he politely declined the women chosen for him by his ministers. Instead, he married an ordinary woman from the common people and made her his empress.

He never took another concubine.

Having witnessed all of this, Ye Long has completely retreated into the background.

Emperor Wu built a temple for him and had Ye Long reside there. If Ye Long encountered a problem that he could not solve, he would come to the temple to ask Ye Long for his opinion.

Emperor Wu was currently adhering to the strategy of befriending distant states while attacking nearby ones, until in the 45th year of the Dragon Calendar, a group of human merchants discovered them.

Trade was established with them, and at the same time, known world maps were made public.

The territory of the Longwu Empire is located in the east, but does not extend to the far east.

Seven thousand miles west of the border of the Longwu Empire lies the border of the Desert Empire.

Judging from the map, the Desert Empire's territory is several times larger than that of the Longwu Empire, occupying the very center of the continent.

It can be said to be the core of the mainland.

That was originally the territory of the Star Empire, but it was swallowed up by the Desert Empire, which has now transformed into a superpower.

Listening to the merchants' introductions, Martial Emperor Long Chen tilted his head to look at the map in his hand.

"This vast land, the Central Kingdom, is truly enviable."

The leading merchant, adopting the country's etiquette, bowed and clasped his hands, a fawning smile on his face. "Emperor Wu is too kind. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and this place is protected by the Dragon God."

"With no worries about foreign enemies and a peaceful and prosperous nation, if anyone should be envious, it should be us."

Long Chen casually handed the map to a minister standing nearby.

"We have a saying here, what's it again, General Xu?"

Upon hearing this, a middle-aged man in armor stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, all lands illuminated by the sun and moon are Dragon Land!"

The merchant's pupils contracted upon hearing this, "This..."

Long Chen smiled faintly, "It's just a joke circulating in the streets, no one takes it seriously, envoy, please don't take it to heart."

"Someone, prepare fine wine and delicacies, and treat the delegation well."
