Pagris’ eyes had turned into vertical pupils. He exuded a mighty force all over his body. The light in the entire hall was dimmed. Everyone seemed to be in a raging sea, and they couldn’t even breathe.
However, as soon as this terrifying breath approached Chen Rui, it disappeared immediately like snow meeting flame.
“Royal Majesty Dragon Emperor, your news is too late.” Naturally, Lalaria beside Chen Rui was not oppressed by Pagris’ momentum. She released a shocking news again, “The incident that this guy escaped from Raphael’s hands was news from several years ago. Less than a year ago, he had defeated Raphael!”
Defeated Raphael!
Pagris breath froze. He could hardly believe his ears. At this moment, Chen Rui shook his head and denied, “I didn’t defeat Raphael.”
Everyone looked eased, and Chen Rui added, “The actual situation was that I only fought him for 10 minutes, but if it took more than 1 minute, he might die.”
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden commotion.
In fact, Chen Rui wasn’t exaggerating. If Gabriel hadn’t stopped in time to remind him that the 10 minutes was up, once the [All Star Gods View] was launched, Raphael would be seriously injured if he survived.
What’s more, after going through the elemental world war, now Chen Rui had a deeper comprehension for [All Star Gods View], especially the power of fusion. It was even stronger than when he ‘visited’ the Holy Light Mountain back then. During this period of time, if Raphael’s strength was still the same, Chen Rui was confident of winning.
“Shameless boast!” Pagris sneered. This boast is too exaggerated. A few years ago he was fleeing for his life from Raphael’s hands. In such a short period of time, it has become Raphael narrowly escaping from his hands?
Who is Raphael? 3 archangels, 1 of the strongest peak stage Pseudo-God in the human world!
“He’s not boasting. If it’s you, he doesn’t need to make a move at all; I can do it with one hand.” The voice caused a commotion again. Even the calmest Meria couldn’t help but be startled— It was her daughter, Zola.
Pagris’ vertical pupils contracted slightly. His voice became colder, “You’re my Dragon Valley’s top genius. Even I don’t have your strength when I was your age. As for what you just said, it may become a reality in the future, but now, it can only be described as ‘arrogant’! As an elder, you are qualified to question and challenge the Dragon Emperor’s strength. You may even replace me. Competition is essential for a clan to maintain strength and development. I am also mentally prepared to hand over the throne in the future. The person who accepts the highest position maybe someone else, or it may be you. But it is only the ‘future’, not ‘now’! If you don’t step down…”
Before he finished speaking, Zola’s breath, which was originally only ‘Kingdom level’, skyrocketed in an instant. From Demi-God to the intermediate stage of the Demi-God, then the peak stage… Pagris was shocked suddenly. Because Zola’s breath didn’t stop after reaching the peak stage of the Demi-God. It soared to the early stage of the Pseudo-God, intermediate stage…
Pagris was astounded because Zola’s power of breath was still rising. In the blink of an eye, it had been raised to a level where he couldn’t sense!
When Zola waved her hand, a rainbow appeared under her feet, slowly spreading toward the ‘sea’.
This rainbow wasn’t fast, and it didn’t look particularly mighty, but it was far above the momentum of the sea. Wherever it passed, the sea water was evaporated in an instant.
Before the rainbow arrived. Pagris sensed that his soul had been trembling slightly under the intimidation of the terrifying power. A shining silver armor subconsciously appeared all over his body. However, as the rainbow approached slowly, the armor could not withstand such a powerful pressure. Large cracks actually appeared.
With this incident, the entire imperial palace and even the entire Dragon Valley trembled under this force. Even the protective Dragon Inscription could not suppress it. The nearby dragons were suppressed and couldn’t move. They looked in the direction of the Holy Spirit Summit in horror.
“That’s enough, Zola.” When Chen Rui’s voice sounded, the rainbow immediately stopped spreading and gradually dissipated. The terrifying coercion also disappeared.
Pagris looked in disbelief at Zola who calmly withdrew 1 hand. He struggled to spit out 4 words, “Peak stage of the Pseudo-God…”
The hall suddenly fell silent. Except for Chen Rui, all the dragons gasped.
She is really at the peak stage of the Pseudo-God!
The last time at the elder council, Zola who appeared in front of everyone was only at the peak stage of the Kingdom level. How long has it been?! She actually advanced to the peak stage of the Pseudo-God!
How is this possible?!
“You won.” Pagris withdrew his strength somewhat in a loss, and his voice was incomparably astringent, “Although it feels unbelievable, it is the truth. You’re right, and I was wrong. There is no need to wait for the ‘future’. ‘Now’, I am already not your opponent anymore…”
Pagris was more aware of the gap between peak stage Pseudo-God and intermediate stage Pseudo-God than any dragons elder. Zola just released her breath just now. If we really fight, I’m already lucky to be able to escape. I have no slightest chance of winning. Moreover, according to Zola, the strength of that ‘Richard’ is above her – What she said earlier that he almost killed Raphael should be true!

Pagris was mentally prepared for a battle with Chen Rui, an ‘intermediate stage Pseudo-God’ powerhouse, but he never thought that things would turn into such a situation. He took a deep breath and finally adjusted his mental state. He sighed, “Elder Zola, your strength is beyond doubt. The dragons are lucky to have a genius and powerhouse like you. So, are you ready to accept the throne?”
According to the rules of dragons, Zola, as an elder, had the qualification to replace Dragon Emperor Pagris after successfully ‘challenging’ Dragon Emperor Pagris. As long as the great elder agreed, a meeting of the elder council could be held immediately. After a vote was passed, the throne would be officially handed over. The current great elder was none other than Zola’s mother. Coupled with Zola’s strong strength, there was almost no obstacle to the passing of the elder council.
The elders all looked at each other in blank dismay: The daughter is about to become the Dragon Emperor, and the mother is the great elder—Will the holy dragons that have ruled the Dragon Kingdom for many years be completely replaced by the fairy dragons?
The reason why Pagris took the initiative to propose the handover of the throne was also helpless. Zola’s strength had shocked everyone, and there was an even more unfathomable man behind her. In terms of courage, means, and strategy, it could be called terrifying, as could be seen from the incident where the other party fooled the Holy Church and Raphael. As long as there was ‘Richard’ support, Meria and her daughter would soon be able to firmly control the entire Dragon Valley in their hands.
“Hold on!” Before Zola could answer, Meria spoke first and walked in front of her daughter, “Zola, I’m also astonished by your strength, but I feel more proud in my heart. For a mother, even a little growth of my child will fill me with hope and comfort. However, as the great elder of dragons, I don’t think you are qualified for the position of Dragon Emperor. Apart from strength factors, you are stubborn and love freedom. You don’t know how to adapt, are not good at dealing with people, and control the overall situation… Simply put, with your current ability, you don’t have the quality of a ruler at all. It’s even more impossible for you to do better than Royal Majesty Pagris! Hence, as the great elder, I am the first to oppose you as Dragon Emperor.”
Meria’s tone was stern and sincere. It was definitely not a fake. The elders couldn’t help whispering. Pagris seemed to have a complicated mood in his mind. All of a sudden, admiration, gratitude, and shame mixed together.
Pagris had always been afraid of Meria’s power and prestige. Last time when she supported the promotion of Stanwell, he already wanted to push Meria down from power or even put her in confinement or exile her. Later, Meria took advantage of her son-in-law ‘Richard’ to pull back the disadvantage in one fell swoop. She also cleverly dispersed the power of the great elder to retreat in order to advance. Consequently, she was re-trusted and reused by Pagris. However, deep in Pagris’ heart, he had never really let go of his fear. Meria was probably also aware of this.
However, at this most critical moment, Meria’s response greatly exceeded Pagris’ expectations. At the same time, she convinced him as well. Pagris finally understood why Meria was able to gain the respect and trust of so many dragons. This was a true, competent, and irreplaceable great elder.
Facing the righteous mother, Zola was stunned, “Who said I want to be Dragon Emperor?”
Pagris was also taken aback, “You don’t want to be the ruler of the Dragon Valley?”
Zola looked at Meria, then at Chen Rui, and her glasses flickered, “I never thought about replacing anyone, now and in the future. Mommy is right, you are the most suitable king. No one can do better than you. I just want to make it clear that my husband is not lying and… we want the golden dragon saliva flower.”
(Hmph, what’s so good about the throne? I don’t care at all!)
(Take the 3 empresses as an example. Catherine, Shea, and Tiffany are busy with state affairs every day. Even Shea, who is the closest, can barely see Chen Rui once a month unless he goes to see her.)
(I’m in the Rainbow Valley. I can see him whenever I want!)
Zola was not stupid. Not only did she explain her choice, but she also clearly expressed her support for Pagris in her words. Pagris finally relaxed and nodded slightly to Meria and Zola.
This kind of nod seemed casual, but Meria felt Pagris’ unprecedented sincerity. From then on, there was no barrier between the Dragon Emperor and the great elder. She smiled and said nothing at the moment.
Zola was indeed not a qualified ruler, but many things could be learned from scratch; however, Meria had been the great elder for many years and had seen too many open and secret means. As a mother, she hoped that her daughter could be happy and free.
“However, the golden dragon saliva flower…” Pagris sighed, “Zola, your ‘pursuit’ makes me feel lucky and regretful. If that’s the case, okay, I’ll call Sophia over now.”
“Wait a minute.” Meria frowned, “Zola, if you really want to get the golden dragon saliva flower, I hope you can get it with the consent of Her Highness Sophia without relying on power.”
Zola nodded, “En, let’s go to Aunt Sophia now. Your Majesty, is it okay?”
Pagris glanced at Meria gratefully, “Of course, Sophia is at the White Jade Palace at the Holy Spirit Summit. Stanwell, you will lead Elder Zola and the 3 guests.”
“As ordered.” Stanwell held back the trembling in his heart as he came in front of the 4 of them.
Chen Rui turned his head to Pagris, “I was really impatient just now. If there’s any offense, please accept my apology as a friend.”
This was a world where strength was paramount. Zola had demonstrated the overwhelming strength of the Pseudo-God peak stage. ‘Richard’ was even stronger than Zola and could defeat Raphael. In terms of the entire main plane, he was definitely the peak existence just below God. Being able to get the kindness of such a peerless powerhouse was absolutely beneficial to the Dragon Valley.
Dragon Emperor Pagris didn’t dare to neglect as he stood up and said, “If Sir Richard is willing, the Dragon Valley will always be sir’s friend.”
Chen Rui nodded and said to Stanwell, “Please lead the way.”
Stanwell bowed. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he led Chen Rui and the others toward the outside of the hall.
