"Alas, the Augustus family is getting worse with each generation!"
After carefully examining the five generations of the Augustus family, Noah couldn’t help but sigh.
However, this is the norm for short-lived species families; geniuses are rare, and it is even more rare for each generation to have soone breakthrough to beco a legend.
The Augustus family, starting with Casius, had three consecutive generations with soone becoming a legend, which is an exceedingly rare case, enough to be recorded in history.
Currently, in the fourth generation of the Augustus family, no one has broken through to beco a legend, but it is foreseeable that among the fourth generation, excluding Aveline who has actively given up, the others all have the potential to beco legends, with two of them having a certain destiny as if fated by the heavens.
Of course, even though Aveline gave up the dragon blood legacy, it doesn’t an she has no chance of becoming a legend; she just gave up dragon blood, not cultivation. It’s just that her achievents would seem dim compared to her siblings.
Compared to the unprecedented brilliance where everyone could beco a legend in the fourth generation, the performance of the fifth generation is indeed another extre.
diocrity is a palatable way to put it. To be more blunt, the fifth generation of the Augustus family is more useless than the previous one and cannot be compared to their predecessors; they only appear outstanding among ordinary people.
But it doesn’t matter, with the current strength of the Augustus family, even if the fifth generation consists entirely of people incapable of becoming legends, they can wait for the sixth, seventh generation. This is the advantage of short-lived species families.
A family with a legendary guardian doesn’t need to focus on one generation but can look towards ten, twenty generations. As long as a descendant with legendary potential can be nurtured, it is considered a victory.
The family thereby gains prosperity, ascending a significant step, which is the mainstream way traditional legendary families develop.
As for the Augustus family developing and establishing a nation within rely a couple of generations, becoming a family of the royal family, there is no similar case found even when looking back over thousands of years.
Unfortunately, even for such a special family like the Augustus family, the potential of the descendants seems to have been exhausted, and after extre brilliance, an eventual decline is inevitable.
It seems to be so, for those forces hostile and resentful towards the Augustus family, this is news worth celebrating.
But the biggest problem now is that the Augustus family hasn’t reached their true peak. The fourth generation is still developing, and though the fifth generation has been born, diocrity is just the current evaluation. The future developnt is uncertain.
Even ordinary people in slums have a slim chance to beco legends, or even attain divine enthronent. No one can deny this fact, no matter how negligible the probability is.
However, in past history, people have done similar things, turning the impossible into possible, even if gods cannot deny, ensuring the sa event won’t happen a second ti.
That being said, the current fifth generation of the Augustus family doesn’t require Noah’s attention. These fifth generations are different from their predecessors, having received affection from their father.
Therefore, Noah focused his attention on the major event worth his concern, naly the undead invasion from the Northern Icefield, moving south towards Central Earth, especially the Elf Court’s territory.
After encountering an undead assassination, Uranos feigned to be severely injured, especially after being offended by his eldest son, displaying a powerless and decadent look, which excited certain forces.
Unfortunately, Uranos has pulled off similar tricks too many tis; any legendary family with a little political sensitivity did not join in.
To these families, this monarch’s credibility is about to plumt to negative value; they completely don’t believe the state he presents to the outside.
Thus, after lying on a sickbed for two and a half years, Uranos only reluctantly dealt with a few small troubles before, in the na of King Atlas, declaring war on the northern undead, formally intervening in this major event.
Ostensibly, the Atlas Kingdom joined the war for the monarch’s revenge. But in reality, its strategic intent is very clear—to occupy more land, acquire resources, not rely retaliate against undead assassinations.
Though the north is a harsh land, difficult living conditions don’t an resource scarcity. In fact, because of the harsh environnt, its resources surpass many other parts of the continent due to less extraction.
After Uranos joined the ga, Noah’s room for maneuver expanded many tis over. The Golden Dragon did not hide anything from this grandnephew, only revealing that there are spies on the undead side who can obtain critical information, requiring his cooperation.
Thus, after a round of attempts, Uranos and Noah started more cooperation, including but not limited to weakening allied forces’ vitality, causing them to continuously lose original lands and retreat southward.
Therefore, after the Atlas Kingdom joined the war, this war that nearly set half the continent afla suddenly took an unexpected turn.
On the battlefield, the Atlas Kingdom’s army achieved consecutive victories, with more wins than losses, every major battle brought results, even conquering two undead cities located in the northern frozen land, encroaching on a considerable amount of undead territory.
