Chapter 1272: The Eternal Draconian Kingdom  

The draconian kingdom had once been nothing more than a small tribe, with just a limited number of draconians.

They had always worked together in classic tribal fashion; although the draconian sage was the king of his world, he was in effect little more than a tribal chieftain of sorts.

As such, compared to the Zongming and Lie kingdoms, the draconian kingdom seemed to emphasize ordinary civilians far more.

In a kingdom with significant individual strength, the draconian kingdom nonetheless managed to maintain law and order.

"We never expected that our alliance with the humans would transform the draconians for good, nor what strength lay within the humans' small bodies." The human hunters raised their heads in pride.

"We were once beset by foes all around us, eight different races in all—but because we were united, and because of the help of our allies the humans, not only did we manage to repel the invasion, we even assimilated those worlds into our own.

This was a miracle that all of us working together managed to create." The draconians all proudly recalled the scene of the conflict, the faces of the dead who had perished then, and the members of Team Zenith who had shown up at the last minute and fended off the invasion.

The draconians all gave thanks to Zhang Lie and the members of Team Zenith once more.

"We once faced a foe stronger than anything ever seen to date, but by working together, we successfully evolved into a superior world, only to find ourselves beset by even stronger opponents: the superior worlds of antiquity." The draconian sage recalled the might of the solar king and his ten thousand suns.

During that fight, the draconians didn't have to rely on the members of Team Zenith and on Zhang Lie.

They managed to fight off the solar king and his minions based on the draconians' own strength—assisted by the human hunters that were still on the world at the time.

"We have always prided ourselves on united, communal strength.

By working together, we managed to defend ourselves even against a superior foe, then created another miracle by toppling the reign of the superior kings of antiquity." The draconians cheered; their excitement, thumping hearts, and irrepressible joy welled up once more.

"We witnessed the destruction of the realm together—" All the draconians had believed that they were doomed.

They could still sense the despair that they had felt during that apocalyptic crisis, one they had thought unavoidable, but miraculously, that fate had been averted.

"The realm itself seemed about to collapse, but we bridged the difficulty and managed to patch up the realm, ultimately resulting in the creation of this unified world.

All this is thanks to our cooperation and hard work." When the new world was born and the superior kingdoms received the blessing of the realm, everyone felt as though they had just survived a monumental crisis.

The joy that they had felt afterwards was something unforgettable, that they would carry with them for the rest of their lives.

"All that we have experienced, we have done so together with the humans—and I think this alliance will continue even in the future." The draconians and humans had forged ties that couldn't be broken; some draconians even felt that the humans had become wholly integrated with them.

"We have experienced trial and tribulation together—and we have overcome them all! Nothing can stop our advance." The draconians and humans thought back to the challenges they had overcome, many of whom an ordinary lifeform might not encounter once in a lifetime.

Even so, they had overcome them all.

"As they say, heroes are forged out of necessity.

The more challenges befall us, the more heroes we'll need to overcome them.

We've established a realm far beyond what any of us could have imagined, that we might not even have dared to imagine." The draconians had gone from a medium-sized world to a large one, and then a superior one.

Many draconians had thought that they could die without any regrets upon witnessing their world evolve once—but less than two years later, it evolved once more to become a superior world.

That rate of progress never stopped.

In the blink of an eye, all the worlds had unified, and they were now the draconian kingdom.

"Our efforts have been recognized by the realm itself." The draconians thought back to what they had managed to accomplish in the span of just a few years.

"We have gained the awe and respect of countless worlds." Of course, these worlds were more fearful of the human hunters rather than the draconians.

The members of Team Zenith had been extravagant in leading the warlords to take down world after world, so much so that, even after the formation of the unified world, many aliens grew fearful upon seeing a human.

Fearful memories had been embedded deep in their psyche.

"In accordance with the times, the draconian world has now been transformed into the draconian kingdom." "Long live the draconian kingdom!" One person started a chant; the others all followed suit.

"Long live the glorious draconian kingdom!" "May the draconian kingdom shine for eternity!" "May the draconian kingdom shine for eternity!" "May the draconian kingdom shine for eternity!" Wave after wave of sound echoed through the air.

"There will be even more challenges in the future lying in wait for us.

Brave, steadfast, and intelligent as all of you are, I believe that none of you will be stymied, that you'll create miracle after miracle." The draconians cheered, and the draconian sage nodded in satisfaction at seeing the citizens' morale soar.

Zhang Lie was just about to leave when the draconian sage noticed his movements.

He hurriedly said, "Zhang Lie, hold up!" "What's the matter?" Zhang Lie asked.

"I have important business with you," the draconian sage replied.

"After the founding ceremony, can you come see me at the palace?" "Is something wrong?" He didn't think there was anything else in the third realm that he had to accomplish; with the king of chaos' departure, there were no enemies left for them to face.magic "It's something very important," the draconian sage repeated.

After the ceremony, Zhang Lie headed to the palace.

The draconian sage had been unused to living in the palace, considering that the nuclear structure of the draconians were tribes.

Even after the draconian sage had become the king of the world, his living quarters were just a little better than those of the average draconian.

However, the king's quarters had to be majestic to reveal the kingdom's strength, and the draconians had all petitioned for a palace to be built in the draconian kingdom.

The palace was something that the draconians and humans had worked hard together to construct; on the human side, it had been led by chief architect Chu Feng.
