CHAPTER 546: CHAPTER 321: ANCESTRAL SILVER DRAGON? ICE AND SNOW QUEEN

"Noah, do you want to rest for a while?"

Currently able to move freely, Silver Dragon Annabelle looked at the golden dragon coiled around an ice crystal before her, with a hint of concern.

"Aren’t I resting right now?"

Noah slightly raised his head, glanced at his silver dragon companion, and replied indifferently.

Ever since he learned Silver Dragon Annabelle was pregnant eight years ago, Noah never left her side, or rather, he took her with him everywhere.

Without his protection, the silver dragon found it difficult to resist the increasingly strong cold within her belly. Moving too far from Noah, she would be enveloped in layers of ice, which not only hindered her actions but also threatened her life.

Only under the domain of the Ancestral Golden Dragon could the silver dragon maintain normal vital signs to continue nurturing the dragon egg. It was over eight years, totaling thirteen years, before Annabelle successfully laid the dragon egg.

The moment the dragon egg left its mother, the power it released broke through the domain naturally formed by Noah’s dragon physique, unleashing an unexpected snowstorm in Noah’s chamber. It swept across the Orpheus Mountain Range and brought an extremely rare snowfall to the outskirts of Elisim City.

Fortunately, the snowfall was short-lived; although it accumulated to a palm’s depth in just one magic hour, by midday when the sun rose, the ice and snow quickly melted, avoiding a cold snap and causing no ice disaster.

This was mainly because the Holy Dragon Grand Lord quickly isolated and suppressed the source of the ice and snow. Otherwise, if the force continued to spread, it might have resulted in a terrifying ice catastrophe.

The source of the snow disaster now transformed into a small crystal mountain of ice formed by the coiled golden dragon, with a platinum dragon egg veined with ice blue lines at its core.

With the power Noah currently possessed, he could dissolve this ice crystal mountain, but there was no need. This was his offspring, not an enemy. The dragon egg’s gestation and hatching required a suitable environment.

Even powerful creatures, in an unconscious state, will use their power to transform their surroundings, making it the most suitable ecosystem for them.

However, for such strong beings to achieve this, even with a potent racial bloodline, it typically happens after reaching adulthood. It’s rare for an unborn creature to transform the environment and impact its mother, but Noah never expected it to be his offspring.

Logically, his offspring shouldn’t possess such tremendous power. After all, his previous two offspring—the mother of his eldest son, Iliad, was a legendary Blazing Angel, and the mother of his second son, Terramus, was a Golden Dragon. In terms of strength and lineage, Annabelle couldn’t compare, yet her progeny is the strongest.

Even though this child hasn’t been born yet, Noah could tell that this dragon will vastly surpass her brothers in strength, even if her brothers were born earlier, they couldn’t establish any time advantage.

It’s extremely abnormal and unreasonable, yet her birth was already an occurrence out of many improbabilities.

However, what was most unreasonable, bordering on the incredible, was that after successfully birthing the dragon egg, as Annabelle, its mother, was influenced by the egg, her bloodline showed signs of an ancestral return-like mutation.

The dragon standing before Noah with concern had significantly changed from the traditional silver dragon image. Her dragon form appeared more slender and graceful compared to the already elegant and noble silver dragons, with a longer neck, limbs, and tail, and smooth lines.

Her bright silver scales, typical of adult silver dragons, were overlayed with a dreamy ice blue hue, emitting a mild metallic sheen, and her entire body exuded an icy crystal texture as if sculpted from snow and ice.

What amused Noah the most was that this silver dragon companion of his actually gained a near-magical ability resembling bloodline traits. She could, at a thought, manifest an ice armor over her form, completely covering her head, forelegs, hind legs, wings, and tail.

This ice armor not only provided considerable defense but also significantly enhanced the cold ice magic Annabelle cast and allowed her to establish a Cold Ice Domain.

Parents have always granted their children bloodlines and talents. Noah couldn’t find an instance in his ancestral lineage where a child’s birth awakened a stronger parent bloodline—this was completely unheard of.

Because of this, Noah paid special attention to his third offspring, personally caring for the egg. He was determined to see just who his third offspring was, whether born of innate ability or an old god reincarnated to amuse itself.

"Noah, you’re exerting yourself too much!"

Though his companion’s tone was relaxed, Annabelle, who had already undergone an evolution, could sense just how meticulous Noah’s actions were.

This Holy Dragon Grand Lord, while guarding his territory, did not overly suppress the dragon egg’s growth. He used his dragon body as a boundary, with a flourishing natural world outside and a dead silent, extremely cold realm inside.
