879: Chapter 60 A Great Wind Will Arise (Chapter W)_3 879: Chapter 60 A Great Wind Will Arise (Chapter W)_3 “And why is the Crystal Dragon called a dragon, and possesses a power to construct a different ecosystem, just like the True Dragons…

there must be a connection between them!”

“Could True Dragons be a species related to the Spark?”

Although this is speculation, it might very well be the truth.

Compared to other Magical Beasts, the most prominent characteristic of True Dragons is their ability to change their surroundings to suit themselves…

This is completely the opposite of Crystal Dragons, but they arrive at the same destination by different paths; in short, both ensure the survival of the beings within their Shelter Domain.

In the past, Ian didn’t understand much about True Dragons, so he was also unclear about their thoughts.

But after receiving some memories intentionally left behind in Yasteel Mountain by Solstana, Ian began to discern something…

With only a five-hundred-year lifespan, not rendered cold and emotionless by too lengthy an existence, continuously observing the myriad creatures of the world, perhaps these behemoths named True Dragons were actually ‘guardians’ associated with various civilizations?

Perhaps, True Dragons were ‘biological observatories’ created by the Skyfall Spaceship; they launched Dragon Eggs to various planets, then waited for them to hatch naturally, and upon the hatching of the True Dragons, these solitary beings would observe the entire civilization from a unique perspective before being retrieved at the end of their lives, providing research materials of a unique viewpoint.

This also explains why True Dragons completely fail to understand each other or get along—perhaps their thought patterns are shaped by having to adapt to entirely different civilizations, making innate understanding impossible, just like two different civilizations not fully aligning in terms of flashes of insight, social systems, and self-superiority.

Of course, similar civilizations exist too, such as the Qing Steel Dragon and his mentor, who are barely able to understand each other.

All of this is still speculation.

After all, True Dragons are a species that changes environments to suit themselves.

If they are indeed observers, additional selection of different types of True Dragons for launching is necessary.

Ian’s speculation is closer to the essence of Crystal Dragons, but Crystal Dragons are likely a result from research on the earlier or even the first generation True Dragons by a pre-era civilization.

In any case, these relationships are complicated, but there is a thread to follow.

As long as Ian obtains more Legacy and knowledge about True Dragons, he will eventually understand the vague relationship between dragons and the Skyfall Spaceship.

But not now.

This time, Ian did not intend to enter the depths of the Iron Dragon Nest to receive the Inheritance from Solstana, not only because receiving the Inheritance itself takes a long time, but also because unlocking the Mystic Locks and various fields within the Iron Dragon Nest would take up a considerable amount of time.

However, this does not mean he plans to do nothing—if there’s no time to receive the Inheritance, Ian still has enough time to provoke a reaction from the entire Iron Dragon Nest.

The white-haired youth stepped forward, lifting his right hand as the light blue flow of Origin Quality surged from the Aether Crystal, blending with the golden Origin Quality of the Ancient Dragon Heart Core, and blooming a cyan-gold pattern in the air.

This cyan-gold pattern approached the mountains that make up the Iron Dragon Nest.

Then, the mountains trembled.

—Yasteel Mountain.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Next to the eternal Sacrificial Flame, the long-silent Sacrificial Bell suddenly began to toll on its own, sending tremors through the heavens and earth.

Down the mountain, the Mountain People who had come to witness miracles and make pilgrimages, without exception, looked up in astonishment toward the Summit of the Holy Mountain; they had only heard of such events in stories or from the tales of their ancestors, but now, these ancient Mystical Phenomena appeared one by one, each verifying the next.

A barefoot as white as snow stepped onto the edge of the Black Stone Altar at the Summit of the Holy Mountain, supported by the silvery-haired beautiful woman, a young girl with fiery red long hair and upright dragon horns appeared somewhat dazedly looking up towards the end of the sky.

There, in the faraway place of the Jiamu Sect, north of the Midra Autonomous Region in the Sacred Territory, layers of clouds were gathering, and dark clouds amassed from all directions, pressing down on that ancient Sacred Territory.

“That time…”

The young Dragon Maiden whispered softly, sounding somewhat hoarse as she hadn’t spoken in a long time, but soon, her voice adjusted, and her bright green eyes lit up with the glow of Spirit Energy: “Iron Dragon Nest—the Iron Dragon Nest has reacted!”

“Mom, this is…”

“Who else could it be?” The silver-haired beautiful woman turned her head, looking into the Sacrificial Flame, where many spines and deformities had already receded from the body of the Deformed Dragon, The King of the Mountain sighed softly yet smiled, “Even we True Dragons can’t activate this Legacy, and yet once again, it is awakened by a human with Dragon Blood…

Such a successor, who else could be there in South Ridge?”

“Ian…”

The Dragon Maiden murmured softly, while the green-haired Elf stepped forward, his expression complex as he looked towards the face all too familiar to his friend.

The appearances of the Elf and the Dragon Maiden were exceedingly similar, almost like male and female versions of each other, aside from hair and eye color, they appeared exactly like fraternal twins.

“Next time don’t use this face, it’s too weird, almost like looking into a mirror.

Didn’t you consider this when you chose it?” he complained softly, while the Dragon Maiden laughed foolishly as if to use feigned ignorance to dodge her friend’s teasing: “My male body was destroyed by the beings in Fiery Flame Land, ah, I can’t help it, only this old model remains…”
