(7000)_3 If it were an inheritor of Dragon Blood at the Second or Third Power Levels, they would definitely not be able to obtain much related information, but Ian is different…

Even if damaged and fragmented, the Ancient Dragon Heart Core from Teacher Hiliad is truly a Fifth Energy Level Sublimation Organ.

It has passed the Mystic Lock identification left by the Quenched Steel Dragon, hence it can provide Ian with more information.

Of course, if the Ancient Dragon Heart Core is of no use, Ian still has the Silver Chip.

The hazy fragments of light and shadow still flicker.

As the young dragon grows, so does its strength; even on the distant orbit far from the sun, a True Dragon can grow gradually using the residual heat from the Earth Core within Nemesis, and once it reaches the Fourth Power Level, the Quenched Steel Dragon can venture to Terra’s Tenth Planet, Metis Star, a massive Gaseous Giant Star, to draw energy.

It is a gas giant with the potential of a brown dwarf, orbited by numerous small asteroids, offering several zones conducive to life, where some True Dragons have built nests.

And after the Quenched Steel Dragon reached the Fourth Power Level, the teacher found it.

“Go to Terra.”

Having endured the Shattered Star War, the similarly aged second generation True Dragons slowly said: “The ancestors are all gone, and we, who most needed to abide by the rules, are gradually aging too… You, whom we have created, are not bound by these rules”

“Go there, recover the Legacy left by the Creators, we must reclaim those things… And the Sparks, we must also recover them, keep them safe, we cannot let those monuments to civilization, the final words, be lost in our hands.”

“But those Sparks are already lost.”

The young Quenched Steel Dragon said: “They have become a part of Terra— and Terra’s civilization has been contaminated by these Sparks… or rather, sublimated.”

“They no longer distinguish each other, the civilization and memories, stories and power of thousands of stars mingle there.”

“Moreover, humans indeed obtained the Legacy of the Creators, among them are beings who can match our power.

The ancestors and the Master Throne had made a pact, we assist each other in critical moments, but do not interfere on normal days.”

“Yes.”

The teacher said: “But the Master Thones who signed the pact are long gone, and we too are about to leave— so you should go to Terra, go there, act as yourself, alone sign new contracts with the people and civilization there”

“Solstana, you are free, a third-generation True Dragon not restricted by the founding rules.”

“You must find your own Path— even if it’s for me, find the ‘Way of the Everlasting True Dragon’ that I wanted to find.”

“Go to Terra, leave this desolate Dragon Nest.”

The Quenched Steel Dragon remained silent.

“Alright.”

It said: “Let it be for you.”

The young dragon, under the watchful gaze of the teacher, turned around, unfolding its wings, and embarked in the silent darkness of the asteroid belt.

The True Dragon flew towards the direction of a bright star, finally arriving at a vibrant land.

“At that time, I actually didn’t understand anything.

The asteroid belt had abundant resources, an entire planet was shattered, evenly turning into various provisions, fostering our growth.”

The voice of Quenched Steel Dragon God echoed again, with a nostalgic tone, as it and Ian, from the perspective of the teacher, watched the young self leaving ‘home’ alone: “Then.”

“I encountered the true beginning of my life.”

Ian knew what Quenched Steel Dragon God was referring to— the memory of the Dragon God obtained by the youngster in the Cradle of Twinkling Light, precisely connecting the legacy here.

The giant dragon from beyond descended upon Terra, it struggled with other dragons that arrived earlier at Terra, negotiated with the human Empire, wandered in the wilderness searching for the ‘Legacy of the Creators’ mentioned by the teacher… It received help from interesting local little people, in return, it generously allowed these little people to live by its side.

And then…

it was like this.

After generations and generations of people flowed by, witnessing the alternation of many generations, the Quenched Steel Dragon became the Quenched Steel Dragon God, and the little people living within His realm…

became the Mountain People.

And in this moment, as He himself approached old age, Quenched Steel Dragon Solstana finally understood the meaning of his life, and why his teacher wanted him to go to Terra.

Why all True Dragons would go to Terra.

“Because we are destined to be with people.

With civilization.”

The aged voice smiled: “Because we are not immortal beings, because we do not have descendants.”

“When I am nearing the end of my life but do not wish to die, wanting to continue living, continue protecting these little people… I then understood the wishes of my teacher.”

“Because wanting to continue one’s dreams, continue one’s spirit and thoughts, thus wanting to create beings with one’s own Bloodline…”

“I want to have a deeper relationship with them (Mountain People).

Not just faith.”

“They can be my children.”

“And the origin of all these desires… the reason why we third-generation True Dragons and the subsequent fourth, fifth, and even more generations of True Dragons were born.”

“Is truly the essence of our existence, it’s the ‘Spark’.”

“The lives nurtured by the Spark.”

Endless lights and shadows interweave, in front of Ian, a weathered, silver-shelled True Dragon is formed, silently standing in the void, its long tail coiling around its side, with wings enveloped in the endless black mist, seemingly placed in the underworld.
