Awakening The Only SSS-Rank Class! Now Even Dragons Obey Me Chapter 706: The False God

"At last, you've arrived."

An ancient and profound voice, seeming to originate from tens of thousands of years in the past, resounded within Daniel’s mind.

His face remained unchanged. Yet, unbeknownst to him and beyond his control, a faint shiver passed through his soul. The sheer might in that voice surpassed everything he had ever faced in this realm.

"Forgive the delay," he responded respectfully, a smile gracing his features. Though he now reigned as the Lord of the Dragons, this entity stood as the mightiest living force across the entire Celestial Domain.

Such a being merited at least basic reverence.

Daniel pressed onward without pause, venturing into the innermost depths. He perceived multiple layers of defenses, suppressions, and harsh barriers capable of halting even the mightiest dragons.

Yet none of them affected him in the slightest.

Once he entered, he beheld the entity at last. The pinnacle existence of this world. The eldest dragon yet breathing.

And a False God. The nearest to a genuine deity.

"Welcome," the dragon uttered in a gravelly yet noble and courteous manner.

He appeared in his authentic form, vaster, more commanding, and bulkier than any sight Daniel had witnessed before. Before this presence, Daniel seemed tinier than a mere insect.

The air felt oppressively dense.

He stood within a vast emptiness. No heavens above, no earth below. Just an enormous, radiant sun blazing at the heart of this realm.

And atop that sun...

Perched a dragon.

Its frame eclipsed mountain chains, its scales a pure gold hue. They didn't merely mirror the sun's glow—they emanated light on their own. Every scale resembled holy metal, yet pulsed with life.

Its eyes... pitch black.

Not mere darkness, but utter voids. Like twin abysses nestled in perfect gold.

Its wings extended partially, and each subtle shift rippled boundless energy through the void.

The weight of its being pressed so intensely that nearby laws hesitated to solidify fully.

With each breath, the sun quivered. With each blink, the brilliance flickered and intensified.

Its voice boomed straight into Daniel’s thoughts, profound and timeless,

"Fallen Heir... Eternity... and Lord of the Dragons."

No enmity laced the tone. It remained profound and timeless.

The False God locked its stare on Daniel. Those ebony eyes pierced not his form, but the essence of his very being.

"You... bear the aroma of origins predating all, my Lord..."

The sun under its form glowed a touch fiercer, and the space around tightened.

In that fleeting instant, comprehension dawned on Daniel.

Should this entity choose to ascend from its seat, Dragon Valley wouldn't merely quake.

It would face utter annihilation.

"It’s my privilege to behold you," Daniel answered with a grin. He couldn’t tear his gaze from the dragon. It was undeniably the grandest spectacle his eyes had ever captured.

"Haha, even as the Dragon God now, you maintain your humility and deference. It confirms the Goddess chose wisely," the elder dragon remarked in a softer voice.

"Regardless of my status, I’ll always honor the protector of this land."

A flicker of warmth and esteem emerged in the ancient dragon’s gaze. Evidently, he felt genuine contentment and approval toward his race’s fresh leader.

"I regret missing the ceremony. I trust my Lord can pardon this lapse in etiquette," he stated evenly.

"No issue at all, though I’d appreciate knowing the reason for your absence," Daniel inquired, intrigued. He sensed this dragon might face some barrier keeping him confined here.

Perhaps a binding?

It could stem from a constraint by the Mother System, permitting his stay in this world solely under specific terms.

After all, per Evangelin’s words, every False God had been compelled to ascend; thus, a cause must exist for this one’s lingering presence.

"Ah, it’s quite the tale, my Lord. But chiefly, it’s due to this sun," the dragon hesitated briefly before replying with a sigh.

"This sun? That’s actually a sun?" Daniel blinked in mild surprise.

"Unlike the celestial one above. This sun sustains life and balance for the whole Continent of the Divine Forest. Lacking it, the land would crumble into ruin."

"Thus, the Mother System permitted your vigil here," Daniel deduced.

The dragon inclined his head. His strength eclipsed this world’s limits, yet he served as its sentinel. The system couldn’t demand his ascension back then, lest the continent perish.

Instead, it imposed another fate.

It bound him to this spot for his lifetime, tasked with safeguarding the sun.

They had forged a pact. Violation would invite the Mother System’s annihilation, denying him ascension.

"I understand," Daniel affirmed, nodding to the account. His inference proved accurate, sparking further insights.

The key realization: deities and powers exceeding the world’s bounds couldn’t meddle in its events. The system forbade it.

Save for those surpassing the system’s own might.

He remained uncertain if gods outmatched the system. He didn’t even grasp its origin.

Guessing from the title alone, maybe its maker was what the Dragon Goddess termed The Mother—echoing Mother System.

Yet certainty eluded him. Until absolute clarity, caution defined his approach.

"Is there no path to liberate you? No... likely not yet. Not until I surpass the Mother System to aid you. Do you grasp the system’s might?"

"I’m unaware as well. At minimum, it rivals a true god. Possibly exceeds a Supreme God."

Daniel’s eyes sharpened. Beyond a Supreme God? Attaining such heights lay within his theoretical reach, though time would be required.

"Let’s table this for now, my Lord. It lies beyond our grasp," the ancient dragon suggested with a faint smile.

He had endured this existence for ages and no longer minded. Staying to shield his kin from a distance sufficed.

"I’m certain questions abound for you. Anything I can assist with, I’d be pleased to provide," he continued.

He harbored inquiries about the new chief too.

But from Finn’s memories, he already knew this figure—his character, brilliance, aptitude, and vast strength. Crucially, he embodied both the new Eternity and the Fallen Heir.

And now, an Innate Primal as well.

No finer guide for their kind existed. At least within their lineage, none proved more fitting.

"What do you know of Divinity? Since shifting to this primordial lineage, my growth has stalled unlike before. Prior techniques fail now. So, how might I advance further? How to ascend to divine ranks?"

Daniel inclined his head and posed his core query straightaway.
