"I thought this matter would be settled before you woke up."

Orvis said, "However, you woke up much earlier than I thought, and some of the ideological contradictions that already existed within the Dragon Realm were further intensified and became more acute because of this incident."

Old Gold Dragon did not ask Garos which Legendary Trait had awakened.

This involves privacy.

He pondered for a moment and asked, "Garos, are you anxious to return to the wilderness next?"

"If it's not urgent, I suggest you stay at the Wave-Subduing Dragon Realm for a while."

"Of course, if you want to leave now, there won't be any dragons up and down Wave-Subduing Dragon Realm to stop you. I can even personally escort you to the mainland safely. But..." Orvis changed the topic and his tone became solemn, "You have to know that although the wilderness is huge, there is no guarantee that there won't be people blinded by hatred who will follow the traces to find you. I'm afraid it will cause countless troubles."

Garos has actually come to a tendentious conclusion.

The vast majority of the elders believed that his actions were self-defense and no punishment should be imposed.

The crux of the problem now is that there is always a small group of Purification Faction dragons with extreme ideas inside Dragon Race, as well as individuals like Silver Dragon Finel who cannot let go because of personal hatred.

They never give up and refuse to let go.

Council of Elders's collective decision-making is not enough to convince and accept these dragons who are driven by emotions or prejudices.

Unless a more authoritative order is clearly issued, it will be difficult for the turmoil caused by this incident to be completely quelled, and future consequences will always exist.

Garos understands this too.

He thought briefly and responded, "I'm not in a hurry."

"I am not yet fully familiar with and mastered the fields and many characteristics I have just acquired. Moreover, I have to say that Stillness Spring has extraordinary effects and is of great help to my stability and improvement. Please allow me to stay for a while."

What he said was not an excuse.

There is no treasure land like Stillness Spring in the wilderness. He is happy to stay here until he fully masters his own domain and characteristics.

As for the wilderness.

After he woke up, he communicated with Sorog through Blood Kin Link and learned that the tribe was stable and there were no urgent matters that required him to deal with immediately.

"Speaking of which, my original plan was to rely on the Eternal Tide baptism and steadily break through the Legendary Realm barrier."

Red Iron Dragon changed the topic and asked, "Now that I have stepped into the Legendary Realm with my own strength, is Eternal Tide still effective for me?"

Orvis heard this and shook his head slightly.

"The greatest effect of Eternal Tide is to assist those dragons who have reached Mortal Limit to attack the Legendary Realm realm."

"But for the Legendary Realm dragon that has been successfully promoted, its effect becomes very limited, and it is not even as effective as the nourishment of my Stillness Spring."

He looked at Red Iron Dragon, whose aura was completely different in front of him, and continued, "However, I will not break my original promise."

"You can still go to Eternal Tide to experience it for yourself."

"Although this will only slightly improve you, it can still be considered a rare experience."

Garos had a thoughtful look in his eyes, and a new idea came to his mind.

"This opportunity... can I transfer it to another dragon?"

he asked tentatively.

Orvis did not answer immediately, but turned his attention to the other Wave-Subduing Dragon Realm elders who came together. Obviously this requires collective approval.

"Okay."

A calm and dignified voice sounded.

"Since this is your quota, you naturally have the right to decide who to donate it to."

The speaker was another female elder Gold Dragon.

Her body is larger than Orvis. Her dragon scales show a dark golden color that seems to have accumulated over the years. The surface is covered with mottled ancient cracks and countless clearly visible Battleworn Mark roads. Her whole body exudes an aura that is older and more powerful than Orvis.

She was also the first one to come forward and scold Elder Gold Dragon from the Raging Tide Dragon Realm's side.

Garos cannot accurately determine the specific age level of this elder Gold Dragon.

But what he can be sure of in his heart is that this elder has at least entered the Ancient Dragon stage of powerful existence, and may even be Elder Dragon who has survived for more than a thousand years.

Garos moved slightly in his heart and asked further, "Do you think I have a chance to get more places?"

"If so, what price do I have to pay for it?"

The dark gold Ancient Dragon responded unhurriedly, "Okay."

"Complete some important tasks for the Wave-Subduing Dragon Realm, such as defeating a powerful creature that threatens all directions, exploring an unknown and dangerous ancient secret realm, or... dedicating sufficient wealth and treasures to the Wave-Subduing Dragon Realm's treasure house."

Garos kept these conditions in mind and responded politely, "Thank you, elder, for clearing up the confusion."

To support a strong country, it is not enough for him alone Legendary Realm.

His original intention of founding the country was to gather more resources, make his life more comfortable and stable, and make himself stronger, not to become a guardian of the kingdom running around putting out fires.

The future Molten Iron Tribe will need more Legendary Realm power as the cornerstone.

However, from level 20 of Mortal Limit to the real Legendary Realm, this threshold is extremely solid and not so easy to cross.

Now, Eternal Tide's is useless to him, but it can be left for other blood relatives to use.

This will be the true meaning of "first Legendary Realm drives then Legendary Realm".

"You go back to Stillness Spring to continue resting and consolidating." Orvis grinned and said, "Although a battle between the Legendary Realm dragons almost broke out today, from another perspective, this is good."

"The nature of the matter has gradually risen from individual grudges to a conflict between the Dragon Realm."

"As a result, Dragon Kings can no longer remain silent."

"I estimate that it won't be long before an order representing Dragon King's will is officially issued."

"Except for the Bronze Dragon King of the Raging Waves Dragon Territory who has always been strict with the evil dragon bloodline, the other Dragon Kings are all sensible and will not condone such things that corrupt the atmosphere of the Dragon Territory and undermine internal unity. You don't have to worry too much."

Garos nodded and said, "I understand."

"A dragon like Xiano who is so paranoid that he would not hesitate to attack the descendants of his own race is ultimately a minority among the minority. His behavior will not affect my opinion of the vast majority of Metal Dragon who uphold justice and honor."

"I always believe in the overall character of the Metal Dragon Clan, as well as the wisdom and justice of your Majesty Dragon King."

If the favorability could be presented in a visual form, then after hearing Garos's reasonable and moderate words, the surrounding dragon elders would probably have many "favorability +1" symbols popping up above their heads.

Soon after, the dragon elders gathered here dispersed.

Garos dived into the lake again and returned to Stillness Spring, which was warm and full of Life Energy.

He took a deep breath, gradually concentrated his energy, closed his huge eyes slightly, and began to silently feel his own domain and characteristics.

Phew!

With Red Iron Dragon's body as the center, there was no sign of mantra chanting or energy activation, but clusters of blazing flames ignited out of thin air.

After a few breaths, these flames that appeared out of thin air disappeared quietly like phantoms.

Immediately afterwards, countless steel substances began to condense out of thin air, sometimes turning into razor-sharp swords and halberds, sometimes condensing into thick and solid giant shield barriers... And after the same short interval of time, flames emerged out of thin air again, and the newly formed metal creations dissipated as if they were wiped away by invisible hands.

So, the cycle repeats.

Blazing flames and hard steel, two completely different substances, appear alternately in Stillness Spring.

It wasn't until a few minutes later that Red Iron Dragon suddenly opened his eyes, radiating light, and the strange and unnatural sight around him suddenly stopped, and calm returned.

"Fire and steel... my Dual Domains."

There was a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"Unfortunately, it seems that they cannot coexist at present and can only appear individually. Moreover, switching from one realm to another requires at least a few seconds, and it is impossible to switch instantly as you wish in the ever-changing battle."

Dragonkin often relies on its own long life accumulation to make the overall Life Level reach Legendary Realm first, rather than practicing a specific Path Level to the Legendary Realm like some professionals do.

Therefore, Dragonkin and Legendary Realm are usually closely related to the innate blood attributes.

For example, the red dragon universally awakens Flame Domain, Blue Dragon masters Storm Domain, Silver Dragon possesses Frost Domain... These are all recorded in Dragon Inheritance and can be expected.

Old Gold Dragon said before that characteristics define the essence of a Legendary Realm dragon better than domain.

These words are not unreasonable.

After all, the realms of dragons are highly similar.

But what Garos himself never expected was that he would awaken Dual Domains at the same time.

Even among Hybrid Dragon like him, according to the inheritance records of Dragon Race, they generally awaken in a single field. It is rare for him to clearly have two independent fields like him.

However, this is ultimately a good thing for him.

Although the field is powerful, it is not invincible.

Once it is completely shattered by a powerful force, the field cannot be reunited in a short period of time, and it will take time and energy to reshape it.

With Dual Domains, the situation is completely different.

When Garos's Flame Domain is defeated by the enemy, he can almost seamlessly deploy Steel Domain to continue fighting.

"If my control over the field is further improved in the future, the field will repair itself quickly enough."

"My Steel Domain had just been shattered, and Flame Domain had been repaired and could be deployed again; and when the enemy finally broke my Flame Domain again, Steel Domain had been reshaped..."

"If this cycle continues, wouldn't I be invincible?"

Garos is happily daydreaming in his heart.

At the same time, many new questions and expectations also arose in his mind.

For example, as he continues to grow and evolve in the future, and dig deeper into the field, can Dual Domains be used simultaneously one day?

Or even... merge with each other, resulting in a qualitative change where one plus one is greater than two, forming a new, more powerful field?

These possibilities are all for him to explore and explore one by one in the future.

Immediately, Garos calmed down and gradually turned his attention from the field to his own characteristics.

The formation of characteristics has relatively little direct correlation with bloodline.

Although these characteristics were shaped during his sleep, Garos's feelings are extremely clear.

He clearly knows where each of his characteristics comes from.

It was arduous training that challenged the limits again and again; it was sweat and effort put in countless days and nights; it was perseverance and never-ending grinding and beating.

These real contributions are the true root of his Legendary Trait.

For example, based on the repeated training of strength, he obtained the [Colossal Strength] characteristic; for another example, due to the unremitting pursuit of extreme speed and maneuverability, he mastered [Superspeed] and [Dexterity].

In addition to these, he has [Heart of Iron] characteristics in terms of spiritual will.

On the defensive level, they are [Advanced Physical Immunity] and [Advanced Magical Immunity].

Also, most Legendary Realm dragons will shape [Grand Dragon Might] and [Limit-Breaking Dragon Breath].

If it were just the above, then the number of characteristics he possesses, although far exceeding other dragons, is not much different from what Old Gold Dragon said.

However, the above list is only the basic part of his Legendary Trait, which are the characteristics naturally derived after his own attribute values reach extremely high thresholds.

In addition, he has also awakened some more unique mechanical characteristics.

When Exhilarated State, Bloodburst State, Red Lotus Form, Wild Form and other forms are transformed, the body can suddenly Limit Breakthrough control and expand rapidly, transforming into [Colossal Beast Form].

Your body size can be enlarged during battle, and you will gain a huge increase in your life limit and various attributes.

The experience of fighting hard despite being seriously injured countless times, and finally turning defeat into victory, is condensed into [Unyielding].

You can exchange "injury" for "injury". Ordinary injuries will hardly have a negative impact on your actions. Instead, they can stimulate your ferocity when you are injured and increase the damage caused.

Turn blood into majestic Dragon Qi, and feed Dragon Qi back into the cycle of life, shaping it into [Endless Recovery]

As long as you are alive, you can restore your own state at any time, endlessly and endlessly.

The situation where he was on the verge of death many times but was always able to regain his vitality finally condensed into [Rebirth at Death's Door].

The moment you are infinitely close to death, you can explode with power beyond your own limits.

All in all, when Red Iron Dragon was promoted to the Legendary Realm, he created twelve Legendary Traits in one fell swoop!

"Most creatures usually only have two characteristics when they are first promoted to the Legendary Realm. Those with weak qualifications may even have only one, or none at all."

"The average Legendary Realm dragon has four characteristics."

"There are five dragons with excellent performance. It is very rare for a dragon with six characteristics just after becoming Legendary Realm."

"There is no clear precedent for directly creating twelve Legendary Traits like me."

"... As expected of me."

Red Iron Dragon recalled the description of characteristics in the inherited knowledge and proudly puffed up his chest.

After enjoying himself for a few seconds, he took a deep breath, quickly calmed down his turbulent emotions, and then began to reorganize and examine all the characteristics he possessed.

Colossal Strength, Superspeed, Smart, Heart of Iron, Advanced Physical Immunity, Advanced Magical Immunity, Grand Dragon Might, Limit-Breaking Breath.

These eight belong to relatively conventional categories.

After other Legendary Realm dragons develop to the extreme in a certain direction, they may also develop similar characteristics.

However, under normal circumstances, the newly promoted Legendary Realm dragon at the same level as him would only have a few of them at most. Unlike him, he would have a full eight, covering almost all aspects without any shortcomings.

Colossal Beast Form, Endless Recovery, Rebirth at Death's Door, Unyielding.

These four are his unique characteristics, with corresponding mechanical effects.

They gave him a fighting method that transcended conventional methods and powerful survival guarantees, allowing him to take full advantage of his already outrageous physical numerical advantages.

Mechanism and numerical value achieve a perfect combination in him.

Garos is quite satisfied with the system composed of twelve Legendary Trait.

The only thing that makes him feel a little regretful is that his innate Adaptive Evolution talent has not been able to create a corresponding characteristic during this promotion.

However, Garos was not discouraged.

Legendary Trait is not set in stone.

As his level continues to improve, he will have the opportunity to develop more characteristics in the future. These current characteristics will also have the possibility of continuing to strengthen, or even merge with each other and undergo transformation.

He has a strong intuition.

The characteristics formed based on Adaptive Evolution's talent are already in the process of being nurtured, but his current level is not enough to support the formation of this characteristic.

Dual Domains, twelve characteristics.

Together, they build Garos's solid Legendary Realm foundation, which is thick and solid and difficult to shake.

"After being promoted to level 21 Legendary Realm, the strength gap between each level, although it will not produce a qualitative leap in life level like from level 20 to level 21, is still far beyond the level gap between different levels in the mortal stage."

Garos thought calmly in his heart, "However, with my field and characteristics, I should still have the capital to cross some levels and challenge stronger opponents."

Of course, this measurement is only based on rational judgment.

If it is unnecessary, he does not like to engage in such leapfrog battles, which often means higher risks and uncertainties, which is contrary to his nature of pursuing steady development.

In the stagnant spring water, Red Iron Dragon slowly closed his eyes.

He immersed himself in his mind again and devoted all his consciousness to the exploration of his own field and the familiarity and adjustment of the twelve characteristics.

Time passes quietly.

Several Legendary Realm dragons of the Raging Tide Dragon Realm tried to provoke a fight in the Wave-Subduing Dragon Realm, and the news that Red Iron Dragon had awakened spread like wildfire, spreading quickly throughout Five Great Dragon Realms like wings, and was known to more and more dragons.

Those voices full of prejudice and hostility have become more intense and harsh as a result.

At the same time, the vast majority of normal dragons who uphold a neutral and impartial attitude are also increasingly dissatisfied with Purification Faction's behavior of blindly entangled and regardless of the facts. It is also increasing day by day and rising rapidly.

Within Dragon Race, the long-standing ideological conflict between Inclusivist Faction and Purification Faction was completely brought to the fore by this incident.

Surrounding the Red Iron Dragon Garos issue, the debate and opposition between the two factions have escalated day by day, and the rhetoric has become increasingly sharp.

As a result, the Dragon Realm atmosphere, which should have been harmonious and peaceful, and jointly pursued strength and wisdom, was gradually polluted by this endless quarrel and criticism, and became a bit smoky.

And in this context of chaos and confrontation.

Two months later, it was a sunny and windy noon.

Radiant Dragon King, also known as Twenty-Four-Winged Gold Dragon King, issued a specific order regarding this incident.

Bronze Dragon Xiano·Sheffield, bewitched by unknown factors, behaved paranoid and out of control, took the initiative to ambush Garos·Ignas first, with the intention of murdering Dragon Realm Champion.

The facts of this matter are clear and the evidence is conclusive and beyond doubt.

Garos·Ignas, in order to protect himself in a desperate situation, was forced to fight back, without any fault.

From now on, any Dragon Realm or Dragonkin may no longer use this matter as an excuse to hold Garos or Ignas responsible, or take any form of hostile action or retaliation against them.

Violators will be regarded as a challenge to the Radiant Dragon Realm's authority and a violation of Dragon King's will, and they will surely suffer the corresponding consequences.

--The above is the general content of the Dragon King decree.

Once this decree was officially promulgated, it instantly caused an uproar within Five Great Dragon Realms.

Before this, no dragon could have expected that Radiant Dragon King, who had a respected position and was aloof from all things, would personally pay attention to this matter; no dragon could even expect that Radiant Dragon King would issue orders for this matter.

And with the issuance of this order, the Red Iron Dragon matter was finally finalized and concluded.

The noisy and shrill voices from Purification Faction disappeared almost overnight, and the collective fell into silence.

The majesty of Gold Dragon King overwhelms all discordant notes.

After this, if anyone still wants to harm Red Iron Dragon because of this matter, they must first consider whether they can withstand Radiant Dragon Realm's thunderous wrath.

At the same time.

After learning the final result, Garos felt a lot more at ease and was ready to return to the wilderness and formally establish a country as Legendary Realm. He had already thought about the name of his kingdom in his heart.
