Chapter 888: Vol V Chapter 248

The god in charge of negotiating with the Dragon race was no ordinary god. He was the former Master God of the Orc God System, the “Iron Mask Ferocious Spirit,” Snakenell.

This former Master God was born to the Snake people, or rather, he was the creator of the race of Snake people. During the battle with the God of Knights, he suffered a kick to his head. His neck became twisted, and therefore, he had to keep his head on the side all day long. And since then, he was never able to find a way to rectify the position of his head.

After that battle, his strength was so greatly weakened that he even lost to Lefon, who had come forth to challenge him.

But Lefon did not act according to the Orc tradition. Rather than killing and devouring him, Lefon helped him heal his wounds. Other than the tilted head that he had already grown accustomed to, he was now in perfect condition, ready to fight any great Divine Power at any time.

Sending him as the emissary to negotiate with the Dragon race showed how much importance the Orcs attached to this negotiation. He also successfully met the head of the Dragon race, the present Dragon Emperor, His Majesty.

“Dragon Emperor” was both a title, as well as a name. Regardless of what any dragon was called before, the moment he became the leader of the Dragon race, he had to be called the Dragon Emperor.

Over the years, there had been the Dragon Emperor of the Golden Dragon race, the Dragon Emperor of the Sea Dragons, the Dragon Emperor of the Land Walking Dinosaurs… there was even the Dragon Emperor of the Ghost Dragons.

These Dragon Emperors usually took up the reins for a few tens of thousands of years, then they would be sealed as gods and become Dragon Gods. However, the Dragon Gods were not very reliable. Whether in terms of priesthood or in terms of the way they did things—unlike the other gods in general, the Dragon Gods were eager to become gods that were very, very insignificant. For example, they wanted to be gods like the “God of Marriage of the Silver Dragons” or the “God of Lunch of the Sea Dragons.” These priesthoods were undoubtedly owned by weak Divine Powers. The majority of them barely made it to the point of touching the edge of the level of a weak Divine Power. They were no superior to the gods-to-be, who didn’t have priesthoods.

This was because the culture of the Dragon race revered freedom and excluded responsibility. Even if they were sealed as gods, they would not confine themselves to within their priesthoods. Therefore, other than a few dragons who seemed to have their own peculiar way of thinking, there was practically no dragon that would choose the more popularized and influential priesthoods when the time had come to be sealed as gods.

There were researchers who felt that perhaps the group of “evil gods” originated from the Dragon race. There was certainly evidence to back this hypothesis, for the earliest and most powerful evil god that was known to all was a Dragon God: the Dragon of Chaos.

The unreliability of the Dragon Gods was not only displayed in this aspect. Usually, they would not establish their own God Kingdom. They would live in the Half Plane that was located near the “Dragon Cliff” or even… There had been more than once, where the Dragon Gods had acceded to the orders of the incumbent Dragon Emperor and served the Dragon Emperor.

It was a unique practice of the Dragon race to unify the gods with humans, assuming that they could still be called “humans.”

The negotiation between the Ancestor God of the Snake People, Snakenell, and the present Dragon Emperor, generally did not go well.

The present Dragon Emperor was not haughty. Although that Dragon Emperor of Black Dragon origin was a little arrogant, when he crossed paths with any master, he was still quite respectful. He and Snakenell had a long discussion where they exchanged views on many issues.

However, both sides were still unable to reach a consensus.

The Dragon race did not care about human hegemony. They did not even care about whether they could live in the human world or not. For the present Dragon Emperor, if human hegemony existed mainly for the purpose of expelling the Dragon Race, he would have no intention of fighting the other side. He would simply take his Dragon race with him and leave the Main Plane. They would head to another world for development.

Just like what the Dwarf Gods did previously.
