Chapter 191
Chapter 191
A loud dragon's roar resounded between heaven and earth, and the snowstorm dissipated. Under everyone's horrified gazes, Adam flew into the sky, his dragon wings covering the sun.
The snow tornado and snowstorm lasted for a short period of time, but Adam didn't have perfect control over his body after his promotion, causing the energy to overflow. After he discovered that there was no reaction from his origin source and there were no abnormalities in his body, the energy quickly disappeared.
Even so, it was enough to frighten the merchants and adventurers in the Free Cities. They had guessed countless times how a Drakonid could build a city on the Icy Plains and resolve countless probing and attacks, both overt and covert. Today, they felt that they knew the reason — there was an adult Drakonid behind the Free Cities.
Most people hadn't seen an adult Dragon before, but they could distinguish the dragon's aura that covered the entire sky. It was a power that they couldn't resist no matter what, and they couldn't even muster up the will to resist.
Adam wasn't interested in showing off. After he repaired the laboratory, he hid his existence. Some people with ulterior motives in the Free Cities left uneasily.
If the Free Cities were backed by a powerhouse of another race, they could more or less accept it. But it just had to be a Dragon. A Dragon that was known for its laziness suddenly built such a city and even publicized a secret technique like the bloodline promotion technique. What exactly was this Dragon trying to do?

What Adam wanted was very simple.
"I need war," Adam said to the Devil and Lina.
The Devil didn't respond. It knew its master's style better than anyone else. From the moment its master decided to build a city and spread the secret technique, it knew that its master wanted to create big news.
Lina was shocked and at a loss. After calming down for a while, she asked tentatively, "Master wants to rule the world? But … but I don't think it's possible with the current strength of the Free Cities. "
"Haha, rule the world? Master won't do such a boring thing. What Master needs is … "The Devil said excitedly. Although the City Lord game was interesting, it was a little tired of it after playing for so long.
"I need a war that engulfs the entire world. The Elves, the Spirit Race, the Dragonborn … and the Dragon Race. No one can stay out of it."
Lina couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
Adam didn't want to answer. The smiling Devil's face turned cold. "As a slave, you should learn to obey, not question your master, even if you can't understand his orders."
Adam pointed at an empty spot, and a basic topographic map of the Dragon Plane appeared out of thin air. This map was pieced together using incomplete maps from the forest elves and a large number of adventurers and merchants. It was not necessarily accurate, but it was enough for the purpose.
Starting a war would not be easy in a plane with a unified government, because they would have enough power and authority to keep the war within limits. But here, it was something that could be done.
The city-state system was incomparably chaotic in the first place. Even a small reason could trigger a war. When the war reached a certain extent, the people who were blinded by bloodlust would no longer care about order. They would only regain their rationality when they left irreparable wounds on themselves and their opponents.
What Adam wanted to do was to give them a reason.
The Bloodline Upgrade Technique and Blood Exchange Surgery were the best fuses.
Adam said to the Devil, "Are the races from before still under your control?"
"Of course."
"Make the Bloodline Upgrade Technique public. Then, find a few unrelated city-states and select a few originally weak races to perform a blood exchange surgery on them. Make sure that everyone can see the importance of these two things. As for the other things like instigating, assassinating, roping in, and spreading rumors, you don't need me to teach you, right?"
"Kekeke, I promise to complete the mission!" The Devil's entire body was burning up.
Adam nodded at him, then turned to Lina. "The blood exchange of the forest elves needs to be sped up. You and your slaves' mission is to muddy the waters." The talents of the forest elves made them the best candidates for stealth and assassination. Adam handed over a large batch of elemental bombs, elemental missiles, and activated elemental dragons to Lina, ordering her to bring the slaves into the known dragon territories and wake up every dragon she could find from their slumber.
The awakened dragons didn't even need to do anything big. As long as they were willing to walk out of their dragon dens, they would be walking disasters. They would definitely incite the anger of all the other races.

The plan was very crude, but Adam's goal was only to make the situation chaotic, so there was no need for a precise layout.
In just three months, all the races in the Dragon Plane found that the world they lived in had changed.
Local conflicts were getting more and more intense. Sparks of fire were ignited everywhere. Alliances, betrayals, wars, and compromises were happening every moment. Ordinary races had no other choice but to participate in the war.
The Bloodline Upgrade Technique was already in everyone's hands. Everyone treated it as a treasure and used all the time they could to cultivate it. The Blood Exchange Surgery became the greatest source of slaughter.
Tribes were tribes, and races were races. When they found that 'drinking' the blood of their own race could make them stronger, they became untrustworthy, even if they were of the same race.
The war completely broke out after the first sleeping dragon was awakened by an elemental missile. It rushed out of its den and angrily destroyed several city-states.
In such a chaotic situation, the Free Cities became the only paradise that wasn't affected by the flames of war. Large numbers of refugees poured in and were captured by Adam and the Devil before being chased out of the icy plains. The war intensified.
During this time, other than adapting to his new strength, Adam also carefully organized the information and resources he had collected. There was no longer any meaning to the placement of the sacrificial runes. Adam could feel that as more and more individuals cultivated the Bloodline Upgrade Technique, the amount of origin they attracted also increased. This was not a sign that the origin was recovering. Instead, it meant that the origin had almost lost its ability to resist erosion.
As more and more races gained power, the scale of the war also increased. This was the final radiance of the entire plane.
At this rate, the collision between the Dragon Plane and Kratos was imminent.
A month passed. After Adam had completely familiarized himself with and mastered the power of this adult dragon body, Lina, who was covered in wounds, returned to the Free Cities. She brought with her a piece of news that Adam had expected.
"Master, the Dragon Slayer Organization has surfaced and joined the war. Most of their envoys are stationed in the various city-states. Another group is rushing to the Free Cities. They want to kill you and take over the city."
