“Hero-tier, huh? We’ll have one of our own soon.”
Tian grinned smugly.
Currently, the highest talent level in the tribe was Hero-tier—but that was only a temporary limit.
Reaching that ceiling made further advancement extremely difficult. Most would remain stuck at Greater-tier for the rest of their lives, evolving only much later if at all.
Tian had no intention of waiting that long.
Humans would likely launch a full-scale retaliation soon.
And there was still the Sword Saint to contend with—time was running out.
After dragging the Giant Hammer Goblin back, he immediately had it restrained.
He severed its hand and foot tendons, ensuring it could never resist again. Now, its only purpose was to serve as an obedient breeding stud.
“Wait… but it’s so huge, Tian. Won’t my children be unable to handle him?”
Hearing Tian’s plan, Leah grew anxious and quickly tried to negotiate.
Indeed, given the Giant Hammer Goblin’s massive size, the delicate elves might not be compatible.
After thinking for a moment, Tian replied,
“Then we’ll use artificial insemination. Moon, I’ll teach you how—it’ll be your job to assist with the process.”
“W-We can really do that?”
After a series of indescribable procedures, Moon felt her entire worldview had been upended.
“For the next few days, our top priority will be cultivating the third generation of goblins.”
Tian let out a long sigh of relief.
But vigilance quickly returned.
This was no time to relax.
The tribe needed time to grow stronger if they wanted any chance of resisting—but the humans wouldn’t give them that luxury.
By his calculations, human reinforcements would arrive soon.
If things continued this way, it would be either flee as far as possible… or die.
Their current strength couldn’t possibly stand against the royal knights.
But Tian had made preparations long ago.
“I’ll be away for a while. Stay alert at all times.”
Tian instructed.
He worried that the Sword Saint or human reinforcements might arrive ahead of schedule and launch a surprise attack.
Though the odds were low—this place was far from Bright Town, with many scattered corrupted forests in between.
Wiping out the goblin tribes one by one would take time.
Leah couldn’t help but worry.
“Where are you going this time? Don’t take unnecessary risks.”
“Don’t worry. I won’t die. And even if I do… it’s fine.”
Tian replied calmly.
Moon and the others followed his orders without question.
Only Rodel let out a mocking laugh.
“What, are you finally scared now that reinforcements are coming? Running away like a coward?”
After enduring so much suffering, he could finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.
He started getting cocky again, trash talking without restraint.
“Someone, let the Giant Hammer Goblin ‘entertain’ him.”
Tian was genuinely puzzled by how stubborn this guy was. Since he insisted on provoking, Tian saw no need to show mercy.
After a few attempts, Gob Kuang scratched his head and asked,
“Boss… uh… is this really going to work?”
“In this world, there were no paths at first. But when enough people walk the same way… a path appears.”
Tian said coldly, then turned and left the Tian Kuang Tribe.
Behind him, Rodel’s defiant trash talk was quickly silenced.
Under the goblins’ rough handling, the paralyzed Giant Hammer Goblin was forced to “serve” Rodel in the most humiliating way possible—using its massive, unwilling body to violate him repeatedly.
Rodel’s initial roars of rage soon turned into broken, hysterical screams. The once-proud hero could only endure as the very creature meant to breed for Tian’s tribe was turned into an instrument of his torment.
The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.
Gob Kuang and the others took turns “guiding” the process, laughing stupidly as they forced the oversized stud to keep going until Rodel’s voice gave out entirely.
By the time they were done, Rodel lay there trembling, no longer able to form words—only quiet, shuddering sobs.
Tian didn’t bother looking back. He had more important things to do.
Time was running out—he had to move quickly.
By the next day, he reached the coast. Golden sand, bright sunshine, and the rhythmic crash of waves made for a refreshing scene.
“The other side of the sea… what’s the fastest way to get there?”
Tian wondered.
That’s right—he was heading to Dragon Island.
His original plan was to steal a boat and sail across.
But the distance was over a hundred kilometers. Sailing would take ten days to half a month.
After gathering more information, he learned the fastest method was to lure a dragon.
Simply attracting one from Dragon Island would be the most convenient way.
So he quickly raided a few nearby villages, stealing more than a dozen cattle and sheep.
That gave him over a thousand pounds of meat.
He bled them out, tied the carcasses together, and piled them on the beach.
Then, Tian hid inside the pile.
The bloody scent was irresistible to dragons during breeding season—they needed huge amounts of food to sustain egg production and growth.
Half a day passed.
Sure enough, far in the sky, a black-and-red figure broke through the clouds and flew straight toward the beach.
Tian peeked through the gaps in the meat pile, watching intently.
What a sight!
Dragons were the ultimate fantasy for any man. Riding one through the sky? Pure dream material.
“That goblin! I see him—he’s on the beach! Hurry!”
“Kill him!”
“Give us back our cattle and sheep! Damn lowlife beast!”
At that moment, a group of villagers rallied the young men, grabbed weapons, and charged at Tian.
They looked furious.
But when they saw the massive dragon diving from the sky, their courage instantly vanished.
They turned tail and ran in perfect unison.
“Hey, wasn’t that goblin over here?”
“Yeah, yeah—let’s go!”
…
The dragon swooped toward the beach, its terrifying presence sending ripples across the sea.
Its sharp claws snatched the bundled meat, circled once, then flew straight back toward Dragon Island.
Hidden in the meat, Tian smirked inwardly.
Just as he thought—these dragons weren’t hoarding food for themselves.
It was all for the Amethyst Dragon Mother, that sky-blotting ancient dragon in her breeding phase.
She needed massive nutrition, hence the enormous food demand.
Peering through the gaps at the endless ocean, Tian couldn’t help but marvel at how bizarre this world truly was.
He had no idea how vast it truly was. And as for gods—humans here seemed to believe in them with unshakable faith.
Suddenly—
A colossal wave erupted—hundreds, maybe thousands of meters high.
It splashed down right in front of Tian.
Looking down, he was dumbfounded.
A Tier 9 magical beast.
Devourer Whale.
Its body stretched so far it almost blended into the sea itself—probably ten thousand meters long.
Fortunately, this whale wasn’t aggressive. It only fed on small sea creatures.
While he was lost in thought, a small black dot finally appeared on the distant horizon.
It grew larger and larger until he could make it out clearly.
“So this is Dragon Island? Looks pretty nice, actually.”
Tian was a bit surprised. It wasn’t the volcano, lava, and obsidian wasteland he’d imagined.
Dragon Island was actually a cluster of islands. The central one looked as if it had been split in half, with countless waterfalls cascading through deep canyons. Streams and ocean waves combined into a harmonious symphony.
Truly spectacular.
This was fjord terrain.
The larger islands also had vast grasslands and dense jungles.
Full of life.
Most dragons nested on sheer cliffs.
In the distance, a massive mountain rose, its center hollowed out into a huge cliffside crater.
And inside that crater slept a colossal dragon covered in purple-gold scales.
Crystals grew along its back—cold, yet breathtakingly beautiful.

Tian stared at her stats.
Not bad. Only 2900 overall combat power?
Though his own was lower, if every dragon matched the Sword Saint, the world would be doomed.
Still, this was no ordinary dragon—it was an ancient giant from prehistoric times, with an enormous body.
At that moment,
The dragon carrying him arrived at the cliff crater and casually dropped the meat pile in front of the Amethyst Dragon Mother before flying off without a second glance.
Tian quickly crawled out of the meat and hid among the tangled dead branches.
He was terrified the Dragon Mother would swallow the whole pile in one bite—then he’d be done for.
From time to time, more dragons flew in, dropped food, and left.
Tian swallowed hard and cautiously crept to the cliff edge to see just how high it was.
If negotiations failed, how was he ever getting out of here?
One look—he immediately regretted it.
The height was enough to make his head spin and his legs go weak just looking down.
“Damn, living this high and not afraid of heights?”
Tian quickly backed away, but when he turned—
A massive golden vertical pupil was staring straight at him.
“Where did this little bug come from?”
The Amethyst Dragon Mother finally spoke.
To her, Tian really was just a tiny insect she could crush at any moment.
No different from how humans view ants.
She began inhaling through her nostrils, ready to blow him away.
“Wait! It’s me! The goblin leader who attacked Bright Town last time!”
Tian shouted in a hurry—one second later and he’d be done for.
The Amethyst Dragon Mother’s pupil contracted sharply—intimidating.
She stared at him, as if trying to recall.
That contracted pupil reflected Tian’s current form like a mirror.
Still the same ugly goblin.
Short, sharp fangs, green skin.
But this time, Tian felt no turmoil. He had already accepted this reality.
He even casually groomed the few stray white hairs on his head.
After staring for a long time, the Dragon Mother finally spoke again.
“You don’t seem to be lying. So what are you doing here?”
“You want revenge on that crazy human swordswoman too, right? How about we team up? Consider it payback for how our raid gave you an escape last time.”
Tian said seriously.
The Amethyst Dragon Mother’s pupil shrank again as she sized him up.
“You? A lowest-tier goblin with slightly above-average intelligence dares talk about teaming up with me? Sure, you helped me last time, but that doesn’t mean I owe you gratitude.”
Tian paused for a moment.
She… actually had a point.
He almost forgot—high-intelligence creatures don’t necessarily feel gratitude.
Stupid. He’d fallen back into human thinking again.
Tian, you’re a goblin. The thing in front of you is an ancient dragon. Why are you negotiating with human morals?
“Still… you seem interesting. Speak. How do we cooperate? I wouldn’t mind biting that madwoman myself.”
The Amethyst Dragon Mother said suddenly.
Her massive body began to change as she activated her skill, “Subhuman Transformation.”
She shrank to just over two meters tall, now in a humanoid form clad in shining purple-gold armor.
Stunningly beautiful.
Her figure was flawless—like a gorgeous woman in a tight-fitting uniform.
Tian calmed himself and explained,
“It’s simple. I just need you and your dragons to harass the area around Bright Town every day.”
“Harass? Do you know how insane that woman is? And she’s already called for reinforcements from the human capital. If we keep harassing, not a single dragon on this island will survive!”
The Amethyst Dragon Mother immediately grew angry, feeling as if she’d been tricked.
Last time they attacked Bright Town, she had underestimated the madwoman’s power. Dragon Island nearly lost every dragon.
Even she barely made it back.
Harass again? Dragon lives weren’t disposable.
