Chapter 543: The White Dragon Recruitment Order

"Don't bring this up again." Muria closed his eyes and took a deep breath of the icy air, calming his increasingly restless mind.

Titans are invincible. Whether it was his father, his grandfather, or those ancient Titans, they all proved this point. Even he himself was proof of the Titans' invincibility.

But now, someone was telling him that dozens of Epic Titans had fallen over the ages, and the creatures they created had dispersed, forming the diverse giant races of Erathia. How absurd!

Yet, the various things he encountered were subtly telling him that Claudia the White Dragon's conjecture, though partially incoherent, might hold some truth, especially regarding the origins of the giants.

"That's enough, Claudia." Muria opened his eyes and exhaled deeply. "Without conclusive evidence, all these are just your baseless speculations."

"Whatever you say. It's just a sudden guess of mine. Whether it's true or not, it doesn't affect me." Seeing Muria leave the Ice Throne, the Frost Queen promptly crawled onto it, coiling herself atop.

...

"Ancestor Orsopp, Ancestor Ors..." The continuous calls gradually penetrated the ears of the slumbering ancient white dragon, slowly waking him. As he opened his eyes, he saw a dozen white dragons prostrated below.

"How long did I sleep this time?" Shaking his groggy head, the ancient white dragon Orsopp looked down at what he didn't know was his umpteenth generation of descendants.

"Ancestor, you have slept for seventy-six years this time." The leading white dragon, who likewise didn't know which generation descendant he was, respectfully replied.

"Not even a hundred years!" Orsopp, whose age had surpassed twelve hundred years, felt a surge of frustration upon hearing the "short" duration of his latest slumber. Especially sensing that his strength hadn't significantly grown compared to before his sleep, he grew even more irritable. After advancing to Legendary, the white dragon's bloodline seemed to have exhausted all its potential, no longer allowing him to grow stronger through sleep.

"So, what major event prompted you to wake me this time? If there's none, you should know the consequences of disturbing an ancient dragon's sleep." Orsopp looked down at his descendants, his gaze devoid of any warmth.

To true chromatic dragons, what was familial affection? Could it be eaten? Raising offspring was more of a bloodline instinct for chromatic dragons. They didn't mind playing along with their children until they posed no threat.

But once their offspring grew to a certain level of threat or began coveting their treasure, these chromatic dragons would expel their progeny from the lair, no matter their age.

"Ancestor, during your slumber, a significant event occurred on the Depreson subcontinent. Our white dragon clan has produced another Legendary white dragon."

"Which old one lived to become an ancient dragon? Aside from the few old ones who have already reached Legendary, there shouldn't be any white dragons as old as me on the Depreson subcontinent." Orsopp's tone was unmistakably surprised.

"Reporting to the ancestor, the newly advanced Legendary white dragon is named Claudia," the reporting white dragon's voice unconsciously carried a note of admiration. "According to reports, Queen Claudia is very likely still not of age."

"Not of age? Are you trying to fool me?" Hearing this, a visible frost mist surged from Orsopp's body. "Only the three Legendary dragon species of legend can advance to Legendary before coming of age. As for us white dragons, ha!"

Orsopp was full of resentment towards his white dragon bloodline. If he were a red dragon living to this age, he would definitely have the power to dominate the subcontinent and run rampant. But unfortunately, he was a cursed white dragon, forcing him to tread carefully, fearing to attract the attention of human Legendary dragon slayers.

"This news is genuine. We have repeatedly confirmed it, Ancestor. How could we dare deceive you?" Despite being a fellow white dragon, the reporting white dragon felt the coldness emanating from Orsopp, a chill that seemed to pierce the very soul.

"Queen Claudia, the Frost Queen, is very likely a progenitor white dragon! She possesses power far surpassing that of a same-level Legendary red dragon." To white dragons, red dragons were the mightiest of dragon species in the world.

"Even a progenitor white dragon wouldn't have such immense potential. Maybe a progenitor red dragon could." Orsopp noted a conspicuous term in his descendant's report. "Why do you address this young one as Queen?"

"Because within just one month, Queen Claudia conquered four human duchies..." The white dragon spoke with extreme reverence, recounting Claudia's achievements, leaving Orsopp astounded.

"Is this truly a white dragon?" Hearing of Claudia's legendary deeds after advancing, Orsopp's eyes revealed a look of amazement. Such feats sounded more like something a red dragon could accomplish, not a white dragon.

"So, what's your purpose in waking me?" An ancient dragon didn't live to this age in vain. At over a thousand years old, Orsopp had the wisdom surpassing most intelligent beings. Even a pig could become wise after living for twelve hundred years, let alone a dragon. So, he instantly saw through his descendants' intentions.

"You want me to lead you in pledging allegiance to this Frost Queen? And then, under her rule and leveraging my strength, gain higher status, correct?"

Caught having their thoughts seen through by their ancestor, the white dragons who woke him bowed their heads in embarrassment.

"Tell me! How many white dragons have you gathered to join?"

"Not counting you, there are a total of three hundred seventy-six dragons. All are your descendants."

"That's sufficient. As long as you band together, no matter which power you join, you'll secure a decent status. For the sake of you being my descendants, leave now and don't disturb my sleep."

"Ancestor, won't you join us?"
