Dragon Emperor Lord: From the Start, I Had a Chaos Talent, and I Used Ten Thousand...

Slow-burn + lordly power struggles + dragons + pets

Zhang Chen had worked himself to the bone in his previous life, drained of every last drop of blood. Then he transmigrated to a world where everyone was a lord.

He thought he could escape the grind and lie flat, but instead he discovered he was the family's castoff. His cultivation aptitude was poor, and even his lord talent had awakened in a warped, incomplete form.

[Universal Love, No Aggression]: Unable to recruit subjects of his own accord or interfere with their will.

In a world where subjects were everything, this talent was practically a death sentence for his career as a lord.

But there was still hope. He had also awakened the [Descendant of the Dragon] talent: devour rare treasures and nurture dragons.

And so, the whole world changed.

Other people's territories: farmlands, workshops, barracks, and densely packed human subjects.

Zhang Chen's territory: dragon nests, dragon valleys, dragon lairs, and dragon followers covering every hill and dale.

Other people's battles: arranging formations, securing supplies, and sending soldiers charging into the fray.

Zhang Chen's battles: snap his fingers, and time dragons freeze the battlefield, space dragons launch surprise attacks from behind, and star-forging dragons bombard from afar. One dragon takes care of an entire legion.

Other people's expansion: persuading enemies to surrender, winning over the people, and building infrastructure.

Zhang Chen's expansion: send a dragon to seize territory, establish a dragon nest, then leave everything to someone else.

From a small town to a regional overlord, Zhang Chen's growth was astonishingly slow, yet terrifyingly steady.

He knew that true power never came from a sudden burst of strength. It came from building up little by little, day after day.

And those who had once looked down on him would, beneath the iron hooves of ten thousand dragons, finally learn what true despair meant.
