A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 488 Dragon Clan

Carrying the unconscious Renodia on his shoulder, Jiang Shuzhou teleported away from the place that was riddled with holes.

Jiang Shuzhou originally wanted to go and see Helix, to see if he had been shot down by other mages, and whether the Divine Kingdom was still there.

However, the current situation is far beyond his expectations.

The arrival of Tiamat's will and the dragons' announcement of their return are both incredibly explosive events.

Although Jiang Shuzhou annihilated a group of legendary red dragons, thus eliminating part of the main force of the dragon invasion, it was far from enough.

Dragons may not have much else, but they are known for their many legends.

As one of the few thriving and long-lived races in the astral plane, the dragon race is mainly divided into two categories: five-colored dragons and metal dragons. In addition, there are some special varieties, but these special varieties are not very common. Some of them are so endangered that they are almost becoming a spectacle, just like the Renodia.

The five dragons consist of a red dragon, a blue dragon, a green dragon, a black dragon, and a white dragon, and they worship Tiamat, the mother of the five dragons.

The Five-Colored Dragons are primarily of the evil faction. They are generally not good people; they are greedy, lustful, love killing, and are skilled in intrigue.

Metal dragons consist of gold, silver, bronze, brass, and copper dragons, and they worship the platinum dragon god Bahamut.

Metal dragons are generally considered to be of the good alignment. Compared to the five-colored dragons, they are relatively easy to communicate with, which is not a bad thing. However, this does not mean that they are easy to get along with.

The reason is simple: after all, humans did a lot of harm to these dragons back then.

Generally, the good faction targets the five-colored dragons, while the evil faction targets the metal dragons. Everyone maintains a certain tacit understanding, and they basically avoid seeing each other to avoid getting annoyed.

This led to the metal dragons being slaughtered indiscriminately, just like other dragons.

Currently, the attitude of the metal dragon towards humans is still unknown, but Jiang Shuzhou believes it's probably not very good.

After all, according to the law of natural selection, the metal dragons that were friendly to humans have all died, so it is easy to imagine what the metal dragons that are still alive and procreating are like.

However, the only saving grace is that metal dragons don't enjoy tormenting others.

Thinking of this, Jiang Shuzhou thought of himself. He seemed to have never felt happy or joyful from tormenting others. In that sense, he was also on the side of good.

Of course, this torture is physical, not mental.

Regardless of the type of dragon, they all possess an enviable ability: they are resilient and have long lifespans, theoretically capable of living for hundreds of thousands of years.

At the same time, they can also become stronger as they age.

In just a few thousand years, a young dragon can transform into an ancient dragon and thus become a legend.

This made the dragons virtually the overlords of the astral plane, with the entire astral plane under their control.

It wasn't until later, with the emergence of humans, who, through their powerful reproductive abilities and creativity, coupled with unparalleled potential, were able to suppress the dragon race.

After all, no matter how strong the dragon race was, they only had two powerful gods, while humans at that time had more than a dozen powerful gods.

These dragons are no match for them.

However, as we all know, humans are a species that will self-destruct when there is no external pressure.

Without dragons and elves, the internal conflicts among humans intensified a thousandfold in an instant.

A war of faith is raging between various powerful deities. Different cultures, skin colors, and even different professions can all become reasons for people to fight each other.

Perhaps it was the internal strife among humans that gave these dragons a glimpse of the possibility of returning to the top of the food chain, so they came without hesitation.

Jiang Shuzhou had no objection to this.

The main stage of the universe is here; if there's work to be done, come and join us.

Although humanity in the main plane is currently embroiled in a cold war, let's not forget how humanity's technological advancements came about.

Those all came from war.

In Jiang Shuzhou's laboratory.

A violent spatial fluctuation occurred; Jiang Shuzhou had returned.

"Master, did you succeed?"

Grace, engrossed in her experiment, glanced at Renoir on Jiang Shuzhou's shoulder and asked curiously.

"Of course, come here and take a look."

As he spoke, Jiang Shuzhou threw Renotia to the ground, as if showing off, and invited Grace to come and take a look.

Upon hearing this, Grace felt a little jealous, but she still obediently moved closer to examine Renotia.

"He's good-looking."

Grace could only say that dryly.

Even if she had given her permission, she didn't want to praise Renotia.

"Her figure is better than yours; at least she has curves."

Jiang Shuzhou commented, but seemingly feeling somewhat sorry for Grace, he immediately tried to make amends.

"Big boobs, no brains; she's not as smart as you."

"Master, please come to my room tonight."

Grace said with a forced smile.

"I don't have time. I promised Chahara I'd make it up to her tonight."

"..."

These words immediately silenced Grace.

"Why don't you two come together?"

"Master, I have no objection."

Chahara's tail wagged rapidly.

After taking a few deep breaths, Grace finally calmed herself down.

Are you free tomorrow night?

"I have research to do tomorrow, all day long, I'm busy."

"Then come find me again when you're free, okay?"

"What are you saying? Isn't that what I'm planning to do with you tomorrow?"

Seeing that Grace was about to turn red, Jiang Shuzhou quickly demonstrated his superb temperature control skills.

"Also, I bit these corpses off piece by piece, look."

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Shuzhou dumped out a large pile of mutilated corpses.

There are dragons, humans, and alien races; all sorts of things are there.

"Why are these red dragons headless? And where did all these dragons come from?"

"The borneol was delicious, so I ate it all. It won't affect anything anyway."

Jiang Shuzhou said with a look of reminiscence, and then licked the corner of his mouth.

This shows that borneol is indeed delicious.

"As for why there are so many dragons, that's a long story."

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Shuzhou told Grace what had happened.

"I see."

Grace nodded without asking any further questions.

"No wonder there's a meeting; it seems the dragons have returned."

"A meeting?"

Jiang Shuzhou did not receive any notification.

"Why don't you check your own Dharma master's mark?"

Jiang Shuzhou has always ignored the information about the mage's mark when he is doing important things, and at most he will look at it later. He just came back this time and hasn't looked at it yet.

As Jiang Shuzhou passed by Grace, he saw that it was indeed true.

The legendary mages were practically fuming with rage.

Someone is conducting an experiment to study the impact of elemental concentration on the potential for the emergence of elemental life. It took a long time and they finally made some progress, and they were planning to use this as a benchmark to cultivate elemental life.

As a result, he was inexplicably attacked by the dragons, which caused him to lose his inspiration. At this moment, he was preparing to go to the dragons' stronghold and start a frenzied slaughter.

The other mages were in similar situations; their experiments were basically disrupted, or their subordinate planes were attacked.

In comparison, Jiang Shuzhou is much better off.

At least, although he himself was attacked, there was no sign of any attack on the plane he ruled.
