Dragon Who Controls Time

Garen was surprised and happy to see a tribe of elemental lifeforms gathered in the Northern Ice Fields.

He was happy because elemental creatures were basically intelligent creatures and had the ability to communicate, unlike the Terror Lizards and the White Hounds who were unable to accurately understand Garen's instructions.

If he took the Northern Ice Spirits in as his servants, it would be much more convenient for him to give orders.

The reason why Garen was surprised was that elemental lifeforms were very rare in the main material plane.

This special life form mainly lived in the inner planes that did not belong to the main material plane, but was very much related to it.

The composition of the main material plane was very balanced. All kinds of energy and elements existed so all kinds of rich biological races were born. However, the inner plane was a place of pure energy elements. A kind of inner plane only had one element or energy leading it, and the environment was simple and dangerous.

The six great inner planes were respectively Earth, Water, Fire, Air (Wind), Positive Energy, and Negative Energy.

"The elemental lifeforms in the main material plane are most likely remnants of summoning magic. Perhaps a mage abandoned his summoned creatures."

"With the environment conditions of the main material plane, it's almost impossible to naturally give birth to elemental life."

While Garen was thinking, the tallest Northern Ice Spirit walked up to him and said in the common language with fear and respect, "Great True Dragon, it's our honor to have you here. May I ask what your instructions are?"

As expected, it was intelligent. Garen's eyes lit up.

He looked at the Northern Ice Spirit in front of him and said in a low voice, "This ice river will be my territory in the future."

"You will serve me as my servants and offer everything you have."

"As for me, the True Dragon Garen, the future master of the Ice Fields, will provide you with the protection of a dragon!"

Garen, who had just lost the protection of the White Dragon Mother, had to provide protection to other creatures in the blink of an eye.

After hearing Garen's words, the Northern Ice Spirit did not show any resistance. Instead, it knelt down in surprise and said, "It's the supreme honor of the Ice River Tribe that the great True Dragon is willing to take us in as your servants."

What it meant was that it was very excited to have a True Dragon like Garen as its backer.

Garen was very surprised.

He originally thought that he had to fight and defeat them before he could subdue this group of Northern Ice Spirits.

This was because, in Garen's impression, elemental lifeforms were basically all spellcasters with good combat strength. Moreover, their personalities were relatively arrogant and they looked down on creatures with flesh and blood.

Although he was a True Dragon, it should be relatively difficult to make an elemental creature submit to him with a shake of the dragon's body.

Garen thought for a moment and said to the Northern Ice Spirit in front of him, "Tell me your name."

"Master, your humble servant is called Roy Ice River."

"Then, Roy, show me your ability now."

Garen took a step forward and gestured for Roy Ice River to attack him.

If he was not wrong, this group of Northern Ice Spirits might be relatively weak compared to ordinary elemental creatures. Otherwise, they would not be so proactive and excited to be taken in as his servants.

The strongest expert of the Ice River Tribe, Roy Ice River, looked troubled and did not dare to attack Garen.

Garen waved his dragon wings impatiently and said, "Don't waste time. I won't pursue your sin of attacking a True Dragon."

Only then was Roy Ice River relieved. He raised his ice crystal arm and condensed a crystal dagger in his hand before shooting it at Garen.

Crack! The frosty dagger landed on Garen's dragon scales. As expected, it shattered into pieces and did not cause any damage to him.

Garen looked at Roy Ice River in encouragement and said, "Very good. Continue."

However, under Garen's gaze, Roy Ice River lowered his head awkwardly and said, "Master, I can only use this dagger attack."

Garen: …

Due to the harsh weather, 90% of the icefield creatures had a very high frost resistance. Garen was directly immune to the damage of the ice dagger and was not even scratched.

He could only use a trash spell ability, and it was an ice-attribute attack. In the Northern Ice Fields, he could definitely only survive as the lowest-level creature.

In terms of strength, the Northern Ice Spirit could not even defeat the Terror Lizard.

After pondering for a moment, Garen asked, "How was your tribe born?"

Roy Ice River revealed a respectful expression as he replied, "A thousand years ago, a respected mage created our ancestor and left us on the Ice Fields."

Created… and not summoned.

This meant that the Northern Ice Spirit was not born naturally.

Garen guessed that this group of elemental lifeforms was most likely the product of a failed experiment by an unknown mage. That mage might have wanted to create an elemental life form that could use powerful frost magic. After discovering that the Northern Ice Spirit was weak, he decisively abandoned it.

'No wonder the White Dragon Mother did not take these guys in as her servants. She doesn't fancy the strength of the Northern Ice Spirits, right?' Garen thought to himself.

At the same time, he decided to give these pitiful elemental lifeforms a chance to work for him. It was not good to be so weak.

With this thought, Garen spat out the Frost Dragon Breath. A large number of ice crystals appeared with the cold wind, condensing into an ice pool with a diameter of a few meters under his subtle control.

Ordinary White Dragons definitely could not do this, but Garen was already used to it.

With the Time Dragon physique, he was favored and blessed by the elements… To be more precise, he was like the master of the elements.

The elements that were cold and difficult to control to other creatures were as enthusiastic as fire in front of Garen. With a casual thought, they would faithfully execute his orders. There was no hesitation, and the elements in the space near Garen would even become active or depressed according to his mood.

After getting out of the ice pool, Garen pierced his fingertip and squeezed out a few drops of boiling dragon blood.

Roy Ice River realized what Garen wanted to do and his breathing immediately became heavy. He knelt on the ground and said to Garen in a fanatical tone, "Master, the Ice River Tribe will become your most loyal servant and crush all enemies for you!"

The dragon blood dripped into the ice pool and almost melted the ice.

Immediately, Garen got some water from the meandering ice river. The ice pool was immediately filled with light red diluted dragon blood.

"This is enough for your tribesmen to transform." Garen lowered his eyes and said calmly.

If they accepted his bloodline, the other party would become dragon blood creatures.

True Dragons had a special blood vessel called the base blood vessel. It was a very unique and powerful biological tissue. It was thought to be the core meridian of a True Dragon using elemental power, giving a True Dragon powerful spell-like ability and supernatural power. It was also the most effective way to distinguish a True Dragon from various pseudo-dragons.

The dragon blood flowing in the base blood vessels was extremely invasive. Even elemental lifeforms could transform.

The creatures transformed from dragon blood were collectively called dragon blood creatures. They would worship the master of the dragon blood to the greatest extent from the bottom of their hearts.

The dragon blood creatures were also the true core servants of the True Dragon. Those that had not been transformed were mostly treated as food reserves or cannon fodder.

'Will my dragon blood give them a bit of the power to affect time?' Garen thought to himself and waited.

As time passed, the Northern Ice Spirits bathed in Garen's diluted dragon blood one after another. There was a faint Dragon's Might aura on their bodies, and they officially became dragon blood creatures.

Next, the Northern Ice Spirits pledged their allegiance to Garen in groups. Their faces were filled with the joy of new life, along with reverence and loyalty to him.

At this point, he had his first batch of intelligent servants.
