Volume 8: The Road to the Ancient Dragon Chapter 494: Ocean Miracle

The towering peaks pierce the clouds, and huge rocks are piled up to form a magnificent platform standing on the top of the mountain.

Hundreds of ancestor dragons gathered around the platform. Their originally rock-like immortal scales had long since fallen off, and their flesh-and-blood bodies had taken on an irregular shape, looking ugly and hideous.

Some of the proto-dragons were still unable to adapt to their new bodies. The fragile and soft flesh made them feel uneasy, and the biting cold wind brought an ominous omen.

The giant dragons had to crowd among their own kind to find a little pitiful comfort.

The nine largest proto-dragons gathered in the middle of the platform, discussing the future of the dragon clan. The only sounds around them were the proto-dragons' heavy breathing and low roars.

Murphy blinked and was surprised to find that this dream was not about the fall of the Sky City.

What surprised him even more was that his perspective at this moment was quite peculiar. He could see all the scenes in all directions at the same time, as if he had turned on the God's perspective.

Yes, he devoured the dragon hearts of three ancient dragons: Erastus, Lethon, and Naris. This dream should be composed of the memories of these three ancient dragons.

The perspectives of the three ancient dragons appeared at the same time and superimposed on each other, naturally becoming a God's perspective.

Murphy's mind moved, and he found that he could actually adjust the perspective.

He looked towards the center of the platform. The nine proto-dragons they were discussing were obviously the five guardian dragons and the four disaster dragons. However, at this time, they had not yet obtained their own powers and all had the ugly appearance of the proto-dragons.

"We must accept this gift. Only in this way can we have enough power to protect this world and fulfill the responsibility that the Dragon God has given us. The gods and Titans are willing to grant us the authority of the Dragon God. This is our once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"You call this a gift? Humph, the authority of the Dragon God originally belongs to my ancient dragon clan. Apart from what they threw to us, how much more will they take? You have been fooled, brothers. You have given up your dignity and begged for scraps from the gods and Titans. This is not the path that the noble dragon clan should choose. We should unite and take back what belongs to us."

"That's enough. Face the reality, everyone. The Dragon God has fallen. We don't have the power to fight against the gods. Accepting the responsibility of protecting the dragons is the only way out. At least we can recover some strength through this."

"How can we, the noble dragon race, become the pets and dependents of the gods? Only the Dragon God is the ruler of this world, and only the Dragon God is the master we truly serve. We should unite and launch the four disasters together to welcome back the Dragon God."

"Destiny has its own rules. We should not break them. The right thing to do is to quietly wait for the right time to come."

The violent quarrel caused the surrounding proto-dragons to roar in anxiety.

Murphy could feel the uneasiness and anxiety rising deep in his heart. This emotion came from the three giant dragons that he had swallowed.

A shadow that blocked out the sun and sky suddenly passed overhead, causing the dragons to stop arguing.

Galakrond's terrifying body slowly landed on a nearby mountain. It was so huge that it had to grab a mountain with one claw to keep its balance. Even the Aldmeri Dragon, with a wingspan of over 100 meters, still looked extremely small in front of Galakrond.

"The Dragon God will eventually return. I have found the best way. Devour, only devour. Although our bodies have been cursed and have lost the immortal body of the ancient dragon, we have also turned a disaster into a blessing and have endless potential. Don't you feel it? This flesh and blood, this body, can absorb the power of the elements, evolve, and upgrade. As long as we keep devouring, absorbing, and evolving, devouring all elements, devouring all authority, let all of this become the cradle of the Dragon God and the sacrifice for his resurrection.

Soon, the Dragon God will be reborn from my body."

Every roar of it made the air tremble and the mountains shake.

Although most of the dragons disagreed, no one dared to object.

"Yes, only devour! Only devour! It's absolutely right." A proto-dragon on the side said to himself.

Murphy took a quick look and thought, wow, isn't this Ankarad the Devourer? It turns out that this guy is a fanboy of Galakrond.

"My fellow countrymen, wait for my good news. Wait for me to bring back the Dragon God. From here, I will begin a 10,000-year journey of devouring..."

Galakrond let out a roar and flapped his wings. The air current he created blew away the clouds like a hurricane, and the giant beast slowly flew into the sky, flying farther and farther.

Although his words were incoherent, Galakrond's meaning was very clear. Galakrond thought that since the Proto-Dragon's body could absorb energy and transform it, then as long as he absorbed all the energy of the world, he could become a dragon god.

The idea was naive, but the ending was cruel. In the end, Galakrond died in the Dragonblight, and no one knew why he ended up like this.

"Vote everyone, let's choose the future of the dragon race together."

Soon, several Dragon Kings made their own choices, four against four.

Half of them chose to accept the gods' blessing, while half chose to unleash disaster to welcome back the Dragon God.

"Neltharion, what do you say?"

All the dragons turned their eyes to the last Dragon King.

Murphy could vaguely see the shadow of Deathwing from that burly figure.

"I choose - to join the gods."

"Neltharion, how dare you - you agreed to welcome the Dragon God back together."

"Damn, that's not fair."

"That's enough! The council has made its decision. Five to four. Accept your fate, brothers."

The scene switched.

It was still the same mountain and the same platform, but the day had turned into night. The dragons gathered around the platform, as if waiting for something.

A brilliant beam of light descended from the sky. The clouds in the sky sparkled with golden light. The proto-dragons roared and looked at the strange sight before them vigilantly.

Finally, a figure slowly walked out of the beam of light.

He was wearing a gorgeous robe with a hood covering his face, and his whole body exuded a golden sacred glow and a majestic aura.

"Rejoice, great dragons, celebrate, noble dragons, I am the messenger of the gods, I come from the divine realm on behalf of the gods, and I bring the gods' gifts.

Accept your destiny and fulfill your responsibilities. This is the glory and power bestowed upon you by the Titans and the gods."

"Neltharion, I grant you the authority of the earth. May you continue to protect this world and this land. "

As the Messenger of the Gods spoke, he waved his hand at Neltharion, and the body that was originally made of flesh and blood suddenly began to evolve and mutate. The fragile flesh and blood body was once again covered with thick and solid scales. At first glance, it seemed like rock, but then it turned into a dark metallic color.

Neltharion stretched out his wings, felt the immortal dragon scales he had regained, and let out a loud roar.

Several ancient dragons gathered around him and were also blessed by the power of the earth, transforming into sturdy and majestic black dragons.

The power to protect the earth obviously comes from the power of the ancient dragon's immortal dragon scales, but it is discounted and at the same time has some additional use of the authority of the earth.

Murphy's mind inexplicably emerged with some interpretations of the scene before him, which were obviously the wisdom and insights possessed by the three ancient dragons.

"Alexstrasza, I grant you the power of life. You have lost your immortal dragon scales, but the power of life can allow you to live forever and achieve immortality in another way."

A red light bloomed on Alexstrasza's body, and her dragon scales gradually turned bright red, full of vitality. A group of proto-dragons also gathered around her and turned into red dragons along with her.

The power to protect life comes from the vitality after the curse of flesh and blood. This was originally a curse brought by the ancient gods, but was transformed into a blessing of life by the gods with the power of law.

"Malygos, I grant you the power of the arcane. May you use this power from the Titans to maintain order in this world."

The power of the magic network's protection does not come from the ancient dragons, but from the gift of the Titans.

Titans are the maintainers of order in the universe and the controllers of arcane energy. Arcane is both order and the embodiment of Titan power. The blue dragon's arcane power is obtained in this way.

A group of proto-dragons gathered around Malygos, and then transformed into giant blue dragons with azure scales, gaining the authority to control arcane energy.

"Nozdormu, I grant you the authority of time. The ancient dragons were once beings that existed outside of time. With this power, you can control time and gain insight into the past and the future."

The power of time comes from the peculiar characteristic of the ancient dragon itself that it does not exist in this universe. Precisely because it does not belong to the timeline of this world, it can freely travel through different time dimensions and is not bound by real matter.

Nozdormu's body also gained some of the power of the ancient dragon scales. Unlike the black dragon, it presents an ancient bronze color, very close to the scales of the ancient dragon. From this point of view, the bronze dragon is the closest to the ancient dragon among the five dragon clans.

There was also a group of proto-dragons and Nozdormu who transformed into bronze dragons together.

"Ysera, I will grant you the authority to guard the dream. Ancient dragons have no souls, so they cannot dream. But now you have become a new life form. In that dream, you can find eternal peace, but you will also encounter the darkest nightmare. With this power, you can protect your race in that dream world and eliminate the evil creatures that invade the dream world."

A group of proto-dragons and Ysera accepted the blessing together, and the green dragon clan was born.

The Emerald Dream is the soul plane of all life in this world and a projection of the real world. In the past, ancient dragons could not touch the Emerald Dream, but now, they have gained the ability to enter the dream due to a blessing in disguise. However, blessing and disaster go hand in hand. Dreams are the residence of souls. If not managed well, the Emerald Dream may be corrupted and infected by evil things and become an Emerald Nightmare, which will pollute the souls that have entered here and turn them into corrupted creatures.

Ysera's responsibility can be said to be quite heavy.

There were hundreds of ancestor dragons, most of which became five-colored giant dragons, but dozens of them were still wary of the power bestowed by the gods and chose to leave.

Murphy looked at the Holy Messenger of the Gods. The more he looked, the more familiar he felt. He felt as if he had seen him somewhere before.

Especially the tone of his voice. When the man turned and walked into the beam of light, about to leave, Murphy suddenly had an idea in his mind - Wang Xuan! ?

Although he couldn't see the face, his intuition told him that it must be Wang Xuan.

Murphy wanted to get closer to take a closer look, but just as he pulled his gaze over, when he got close to the five dragon kings, suddenly, the green dragon queen Ysera among the five dragon kings looked towards him fiercely.

"I found an evil thing!"

What? Murphy was startled, and watched Ysera open her mouth. A green light hit him, and then severe pain spread throughout his body.

Damn!

Murphy suddenly woke up from his dream, looking at the ceiling and gasping for breath.

The pain seemed to still remain, looming.

It was really weird. Ysera's last move was really scary, but it didn't make sense. I was dreaming in reality. Could the guardian of dreams also control reality?

But Ysera is just a memory.

What made him even more confused was why Wang Xuan was there?

Although Wang Xuan is indeed the envoy of the gods, isn't he a GM? Is the Sky World a real world? Or is it something else?

But the power he obtained was definitely not fake. For a moment, he couldn't help but feel a little confused.

He had a feeling that perhaps the answers to all the questions would only be clear when he became the Dragon God.

Of course, he could also go directly to Wang Xuan to ask, but at this moment, he was a little wary and worried about this guy Wang Xuan and didn't want to face him.

A ray of light gradually appeared outside the window.

Murphy got out of bed, didn't eat breakfast, and lay down directly in the game cabin.

…

Murphy opened his eyes and saw the cabin of the Storm Dragon King.

Because it is a warship with the highest configuration, the cabin is equivalent to a small hotel and comes with an offline function.

He pushed open the door of the room and walked onto the deck. The sun was shining brightly in the sky and it was noon.

After opening the map and taking a look, they saw that they had already arrived at the target sea area.

The fleet was in a cruising state, with dragon riders riding storm dragons constantly flying out to conduct reconnaissance and come back to report on the situation.

Murphy didn't ask. If he really found the target, he would definitely inform him.

Just looking at the scenery on the sea, getting familiar with and adapting to this suddenly changing environment.

When Jaina saw him, she came over immediately.

"Brother Aidan, where have you been? I haven't seen you all morning."

"I went to my room to rest for a while."

"You still need to rest? I thought dragons were extraordinary creatures that didn't eat or drink."

"Haha, I'm not a dragon. Transforming into a dragon is just one of my abilities. So, is there any trace of the 'Ocean Disaster'?

Jaina shook her head. "No, according to the information we got from nearby fishermen, merchant ships, and the Kul Tiras Navy, the Ocean Disaster has not appeared in recent days and has completely disappeared."

In the last few days? He had only been sailing for one day. Murphy thought, could it be that the news of the ocean disaster had already been received?

"Angus, are you sure that dragon lives in the nearby sea?"

"Yes, sir, but all dragons can fly. Perhaps it flew to another sea."

"No, if a dragon lives in an area for a long time, it will definitely build a nest. I know this very well. There must be a cave of the Ocean Disaster nearby. Do you know the specific location of the dragon's nest?"

"That's not the case. Ocean Disaster is unwilling to accept the Dragon Worship Cult's alliance agreement, and we have never sent priests to serve him."

Mo Fei thought that it was right not to accept it for now. If he accepted it, he might be betrayed.

But this is not good news for me. I am the Storm Dragon King, not the Sea Dragon King. How can I find the dragon's nest in the sea?

But Jaina said, "Lord Aidan, perhaps I can help."

"Oh? How do you mean?"

"I can summon some water elementals to search the nearby seabed for dragon nests," said Jaina.

Mo Fei thought to himself, yes, this person is an expert in summoning water elements.

"Can it be done? The seabed is very large."

"No problem. I have learned the Miracle of the Ocean from the Tidesage of Kul Tiras before. During my time in Dalaran, I also gained some insights. I combined elemental magic and the Miracle of the Ocean to create a new spell. Combined with the staff you gave me, I think I can summon enough water elementals for reconnaissance."

Oh my god, so awesome? He can create his own spells at such a young age?

Murphy was surprised, but a character like Jaina, who has the aura of a protagonist to a certain extent, cannot be measured by common sense.

"Okay, then you give it a try."

Jaina nodded, walked to the bow, and raised the Weaver's Staff in her hand towards the sea in front of her.

She first closed her eyes and muttered to herself, as if she was singing a ballad softly, or performing some mysterious ritual.

However, what was concentrated on her staff was magic.

Miracles are substitutes for divine arts. They are usually special skills bestowed upon believers by evil gods or demigods. I wonder which god the Tide Sage believes in? There is no god of the sea among the twelve main gods.

"O spirits of the sea, elemental beings from the throat of the abyss, I summon you in the name of the sea tide. Answer my call! Come to this world!"

The surrounding sea water began to churn, as if it had sensed Jaina's call. The magic power continued to rotate with her control, and a huge magic circle emerged on the sea.

Hero Skill - Summon a cluster of water elements!

At the same time, the weapon special effects of the Weaver's Staff are activated.

Weapon Effect 2: Extremely Effective Spellcasting. Consume extra mana to store energy for the weapon, enhancing the power of the next magic you cast. Consume 100 mana points per second, and store energy for up to three seconds.

The sea water continuously condenses into a human-shaped body. It takes a large amount of mana to summon the elemental creature's main body to the real dimension. However, if a temporary body is created for it with the same element in the real dimension, and the elemental creature's soul is summoned and attached to the temporary body, the consumption of mana can be greatly reduced. This is the principle of the elemental creature's clone and projection.

This is the type of summoning that Jaina is performing at this time.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of sea elements gathered on the sea around the Storm Dragon King, like an army of elemental creatures.

The levels of these sea elements are not very good, most of them are level 30 or 40, but they are completely sufficient for reconnaissance.

How could a mage apprentice like Jaina be so strong? I didn't expect that.

Jaina was also a little surprised. It was the first time for her to summon so many water elements.

"Go, my elemental servants, and search for caves and nests deep in the sea."

Hundreds of sea elements dived into the water and disappeared.

The next step is to wait patiently.

From time to time, sea elementals would emerge from the sea and report their reconnaissance results to Jaina in elemental language.

Sea Elemental (Minion of Jaina): "Gulp, gulp, gulp."

Jaina (Mage): "Gulp, gulp, gulp."

After searching for more than an hour, I finally found it.
