He took a deep breath, and the script he had long prepared erged in his mind.
"The Dragon Emperor Bloodline cannot be sullied! To restore the glory of the Long Family and rekindle the forr brilliance of the Longhua Empire, I must attain the power of the Divine Dragon!" The Supre Emperor responded proudly.
"The inheritance of the Dragon Emperor’s power relies not on re bloodline, but rather—the Dragon’s Will! To awaken the Dragon’s Will, you must undergo my test. Do you understand the grace and burden contained within this? If you fail, your Divine Soul will be crushed utterly by the dragon’s might, beyond redemption!"
"My mind is made up!" The Supre Emperor’s voice was unwavering. He had built a vast business empire in the real world, thanks to his far superior decisiveness and iron will. Moreover, he had a think tank of dozens of elite players and ga experts behind him to analyze every in-ga challenge.
With such a team, he had passed the previous three trials without any danger, and he had no doubt about his success.
"Then... let’s begin!"
The golden light shot out from the Divine Dragon’s eyes and abruptly enveloped his entire body. The screen before the Supre Emperor suddenly went black, and in the next second, he found himself in a tranquil small mountain village. His equipnt had vanished, replaced by coarse cloth clothing, his character level turned into Level 1, and even his appearance had beco that of a clumsy young boy.
The na above his head beca—Long Yu.
The Supre Emperor was taken aback. What was this situation?
"Guys, begin analysis imdiately!" At his command, the advisory group behind him started operating efficiently.
Soon, the analysis results ca in.
"Boss, the current scene seems to be a recreation of the first Dragon Emperor’s childhood experiences. You are likely about to face a series of key trials from his early years. Based on our guess, you need to make choices in these simulated historical events similar to or better than those made by the Dragon Emperor back then to prove you are qualified to inherit the Divine Dragon Bloodline."
This judgnt matched the Supre Emperor’s own conjecture.
He nodded and said, "Imdiately analyze all known historical information and legends about the first Dragon Emperor, and arrange all potential trials in chronological order. Prioritize collating clues from his childhood. In ten minutes, I want a detailed strategy to deal with this, with subsequent period strategies prepared in sequence."
"Yes, Boss!"
The elite players and ga historians swiftly took action. Soon, a key piece of information about the Dragon Emperor’s childhood was extracted.
"Records state that when ’Long Aotian’ was young, he single-handedly subdued a fierce tiger with hanging eyes and a white forehead that was plaguing the village. The next trial is very likely to involve a battle with the tiger Boss."
As the Supre Emperor quickly familiarized himself with the basic operations and attributes of this Level 1 new character, he took a deep breath. Regardless of what he faced, he must succeed.

Ti flew by, and by noon the next day.
The massive gates of Longhua City slowly opened with the rumble of winches. Squads of elite soldiers in bright, shining armor marched out in orderly formations, flags waving, spears and swords bristling like a forest, deploying from the city and forming a tight formation in front of the walls.
At the sa ti, the camp gate of the Dragon Soaring Country’s base also opened with a roar. The army, long since assembled, poured out like a flood breaking its banks, forming a battle formation on the opposite side.
Soon, on the vast plains in front of Longhua City, two massive armies, totaling over three hundred thousand, completed their standoff. The Dragon Soaring Country’s side clearly had a superior force, with nearly two hundred thousand troops sweeping over the land, displaying great montum.
While the Ritian Kingdom had over a hundred thousand troops.
The formations of both sides were very similar: vast arrays of NPC soldiers forming large phalanxes, with a few players serving as middle-ranking officers mixed in for command. Most players, however, acted as a strategic reserve situated at the rear of the formation. This was a necessity because the ga’s death penalty was extrely severe, leading players to cherish their lives dearly. In large-scale field battles, NPC soldiers were typically used as cannon fodder to deplete the enemy’s strength, with players joining the battle at crucial monts or retreating if the situation turned unfavorable.
However, as the guild leader and ruler of a nation, Long Xingtianxia could not hide behind others. He had to personally command the formation, holding the central army to inspire the entire army.
The Gale whipped up the yellow sand, and the White Dragon Battle Banner of the Dragon Soaring Country flapped fiercely in the wind. Opposing them, the Ritian Army presented a sea of austere Black Dragon Flags, clearly demarcated.
Long Xingtianxia’s gaze sharply scanned the enemy’s formation, only to unexpectedly find that the Supre Emperor was nowhere in sight under the enemy commander’s banner.
"Hmm?" A hint of doubt rose in his heart, "Why hasn’t this guy appeared? Is he planning to erge as the final trump card?"
