However, when those six Dragon eyes, imbued with world-destroying power, pierced through space and focused on the minuscule figure before them—Zhou Qi—
All the ferocity, majesty, and destructive aura vanished instantly like a receding tide.
It was as if raging thunder had been drawn into the earth.
The three mountain-like heads, with an almost devout reverence, slowly and incredibly gently lowered themselves.
Their enormous lower jaws carefully touched the glazed ground formed by the cooled lava, creating three docile golden slopes before Zhou Qi.
The destructive light in the six Dragon eyes completely receded, leaving only pure, unreserved reverence and submission.
It even voluntarily reined in its Dragon Might, which was enough to make planets tremble, and its colossal body slightly curled up, like an ancient totem offering loyalty to its Creator.
“My Lord…”
A grand, ancient voice, resonating directly in Zhou Qi's Sea of Consciousness, filled with the vicissitudes of ages and heartfelt conviction, said, “Your aura… guided the fallen… awakened the Origin… Golden Emperor… is willing to be the spear in your hand, tearing through all obstacles…”
The moment the Golden Three-Headed Dragon lowered its proud head and offered its true name, the dazzling Mental Golden Core in Zhou Qi’s Sea of Consciousness suddenly pulsed!
An unprecedented, vast torrent of faith, like the outpouring at the dawn of the Universe, surged in!
Its purity far exceeded that when the Ant Queen was enhanced to Rank 16. This wasn't to say the Ant Queen wasn't as powerful, but rather that this Golden Three-Headed Dragon was a creature born of nature, and its true Soul was much larger than the Ant Queen's!
Zhou Qi’s Golden Core instantly burst with light at this moment, its volume seemingly expanding slightly, and the stability of his Mental Domain increased once more!
A monstrous wave surged in his heart. He suppressed the long roar that was almost about to escape his lips and, with a thought, the Golden Emperor’s Vassal Panel unfolded on the light screen:
Apostle: Rank Five Golden Three-Headed Dragon · Golden Emperor
Rank: planet-level lifeform
Race: Three-Headed Golden Dragon
Gene: Planet-level Three-Headed Golden Dragon Gene
Life Essence: High-Energy Organism
Talents:
Six-Star Talents:
【Stellar Dragon Breath】: Not ordinary flames, but a stream of highly compressed stellar core matter, like solar flare eruptions. Its essence is the nascent form of invoking the Law of stellar destruction, containing extreme high temperature, matter annihilation, and energy torrent—three destructive properties.
【Void Scale Armor】: Every Dragon scale on its body is naturally inscribed with Space Law runes, allowing it to ignore most energy and physical attacks.
【Planar Perception】: Its Dragon eyes passively perceive weak points in space, such as natural wormholes, artificial stargates, dimensional rifts, planar coordinates, etc. It can actively perform super-long-range, trans-planar Mental scans, ignoring most spatial barriers, and locking onto and tracking marked targets.
【Titan Dragon Body】: Physical defense can withstand meteor impacts, absolute strength can drag small celestial bodies, immense vitality allows for super-fast limb regeneration, and the core Dragon Crystal means immortality unless destroyed. It has extremely high resistance to Mental shocks, Soul attacks, and energy erosion.
Five-Star Talents:
【Dimensional Anchoring】: Can actively perform short-range jumps. It can perform precise short-distance space jumps within its perception range.
【Dragon Might Domain】: Releases an absolute oppressive aura originating from the Dragon Clan Bloodline of the Star Realm, causing a mandatory suppression effect on the Soul level for targets with lower life intensity.
【Elemental Control · Basic】: Can initially control basic elemental energies such as wind (cutting storms), fire (lava seas of fire), lightning (destructive thunder-storms), and ice (absolute zero) for attack or defense. Its power increases with life intensity.
Life Intensity: 130
Looking at the shocking descriptions of the five-star and six-star talents on the panel, and that terrifying 130 points of life intensity, Zhou Qi felt an overwhelming surge of pride!
This ancient holy relic, frozen for untold eons, indeed possessed astonishing potential and power!
Golden Emperor would become his undisputed trump card, a sharp blade capable of tearing apart stars!
The air seemed to solidify.
The thousand-meter-tall Golden Three-Headed Giant Dragon—Golden Emperor.
It stood like an ancient divine mountain in the center of the cooled lava lake. The invisible pressure emanating from its body caused space to subtly warp.
Its six Dragon eyes, cast from molten gold, were now meekly lowered, focused on Zhou Qi, who floated directly in front of it, as tiny as a speck of dust.
Zhou Qi's robes fluttered without wind, a planet-level Mental Energy field forming an absolute Domain around him, preventing even dust from intruding.
He gazed into Golden Emperor's Dragon eyes, which contained visions of stellar destruction and creation. His voice was not loud, yet it pierced through all extraneous noise, echoing directly within Golden Emperor's vast Sea of Consciousness:
“Golden Emperor, you have returned from the ancient ice-seal and follow me. Tell me your past, your Origin, and the war that forced you into that frozen predicament. Every detail.”
Golden Emperor’s chest, which rose and fell like a mountain range,
trembled slightly with a long, sigh-like Dragon roar. A grand Mental fluctuation, carrying ancient desolation and a hint of post-catastrophe reverence, slowly unfolded in Zhou Qi’s Sea of Consciousness:
“My Lord… The name Golden Emperor is etched into my Origin, born from… the heart of a Purgatory Furnace.”
Within the Mental information stream,
a scene so violent it made one’s Soul tremble suddenly surged forth: an boundless ocean of churning dark red lava, with temperatures high enough to vaporize all known matter. The ultra-high pressure environment caused the lava at its core to appear in a bizarre, incandescent state, like flowing liquid sun.
Right in the core of this cosmic purgatory, an energy embryo, condensed from billions of years of volatile planetary core essence of a golden star, finally broke through its last restraints amidst endless smelting and compression!
“Not a deity conceived by this world, nor a Titan of the Antarctic Otherworld…”
Golden Emperor’s Mental information stream carried a unique rhythm, as if recounting a cosmic epic.
“My hatching tore through the golden star’s mantle, triggering stellar core tremors… Lava for blood, stellar core essence for bones, Void Realm Law imprinted on scales… Born with the authority to wield Stellar Breath, protected by Void Scale Armor… Driven by instinct, I could soar amidst stellar dust storms…”
“At that time, I had just left my mother star’s furnace and was still roaming the star sea… Suddenly, I sensed this direction…”
The Mental scene instantly shifted.
Zhou Qi felt as if he was in the cold starry sky, looking at the blue Earth from afar.
But at this moment,
the space around Earth was violently twisting and vibrating, like a lake into which a huge stone had been thrown!
Countless blinding energy torrents collided and annihilated in the Void Realm, and the wails of the Law traveled across light-years!
That was the final battle between the Old Gods of Blue Star and the Titan of the Antarctic Otherworld!
The energy level unleashed made even the nascent Golden Emperor feel a tremor deep in its Soul.
