C32 Open your Eyes to the World

How does Dragon choose their Dragon rider?

Gongyang Xinghan was very curious. In the end, Golden Dragon King told him, "As long as the Dragon likes them, they can become partners. Generally, they can travel the world together in four years, or they can go on adventures or explore for their whole life..." (T/N: Golden Dragon King said to travel the world in four years because the Dragons and Dragon riders will definitely come back every Birthday of the God, which happens every 4 years)

A Dragon rider wasn't someone who would stay by the Dragon's side for a lifetime unless they had a good relationship with the Dragon.

However, their lifespan was still not as long as the Dragon Clan, so they had to leave the Dragon's first.

The longest Race who can stay with the Dragon's was the dragon riders from the Elf Clan.

However, the Elves only had a lifespan of a few thousand years. Only Queen of the Elves had the lifespan of a thousand more years, and later, she would have to return to the embrace of their world tree.

But a Dragon only matured after ten thousand years.

To put it bluntly, no one could survive long like the Dragon Clan.

"Hurry up and practice martial arts, or else before the little Dragon cubs grow up you're already dead" Golden Dragon King urged Gongyang Xinghan: "We can only strive to become a Golden Warrior!"

"Then I'd better die early." Gongyang Xinghan was too lazy to argue with him and went out to do his gymnastics.

After the event ended, Gongyang Xinghan was covered in sweat. He went to take a bath, changed into clean clothes, and looked at the little Dragon cubs one by one.

Counting the time, it should be time for them to open their eyes, right?

Golden Dragon King was angered to the point of walking away, but he would definitely come back before dinner.

The little Dragon cubs were more active recently. Unlike the time they were first born, they only slept and ate all day long, and did nothing but excrete and pee.

Now they only did not sleep, but shook their little heads as if trying to crawl.

Gongyang Xinghan happily went to get the Dragon Milk for them and also put some dry bread worm powder in it. This calcium supplement should be pretty good.

They had only eaten for half a year, yet their little claws were already so tough, even thinking of crawling away.

This year, Gongyang Xinghan did not stay idle either. He had read many books on Another World, and most importantly, the history of the Dragon Clan was too long!

He was mesmerized by what he saw because anything in history could happen.

Dragon Clan was a proud race, their records were about wars and struggles, and they were very casual about it. However, towards some human experts, they were very detailed, because Dragon Clan valued strength the most.

It was said that each Empire was overseen by two Sword Gods or Sword Saint, and each empire had no less than fifty provinces.
This was the standard for becoming an "Empire".

Those who didn't meet the standards could only become the 'Kingdom'.

The ruler of the Empire could be called the Emperor, and the ruler of the Kingdom could only be the King.

The smallest would be the Duchy, the one in charge would be called "Duke".

Each country has two to three top fighters, some are mages, and some are warriors.

They were very interested in some humans that could live a little longer. For example, they recorded the name of the God of Law Elfa, who had rendered meritorious service to the Alpha Empire.

Alpha Empire was originally only a Duke's territory. After the unified empire of the previous generation was torn into pieces, this duke stood up straight and his wife was Elfa.

This duke was extremely infatuated with his wife and cherished her very much. He had fulfilled the promise of a pair of lovers for the rest of his life.

This Alpha God had saved a white dragon in the ice lake while hunting. The white dragon was very fond of her because the White Dragon was also a Female Dragon.

Because of the deterrence of a White Dragon, Alpha duke, quickly expanded his territory and soon became a colossus.

But because Elfa had been irreparably injured while saving the Dragon, because she had fallen into the ice lake, Elfa's body was too cold to have children for his lover.

It was impossible for a large country to have no heirs, and Elfa wept over it day and night.
The White Dragon was kind and took a stalk of Fire Dragon Grass from the Dragon Realm.

Fire Dragon Grass was a type of grass that grew from the dead body of a Fire Dragon. Don't underestimate this kind of grass; even ten Fire Dragons might not be able to grow one.

It was the essence of a Dragon's corpse. It had gathered all of the fire essence of a fire dragon, as well as all of the wisdom and insights it had gained throughout its life.

The Fire Dragon Grass was naturally for Elfa.

Elfa was a fire elemental mage, to begin with. After obtaining the Fire Dragon Grass, she instantly rose to become a Grand Magus. However, she became pregnant soon after.

After giving birth to her son, she began to wholeheartedly train in magic.

Moreover, because fire magic had the most offensive power, it kept charging forward on the battlefield, enlarging the area of the Alpha Empire another round.

In the end, the Empire was founded, and her son was the second emperor.

And Great Han Empire was even more legendary.
Their founding Emperor was Sword Saint.

This Sword Saint was just a poor kid in the beginning. He had a life of guarding carriages and horses at a relay station. He was in a remote place and had no future.
However, he couldn't stop this life from happening.

That poor brat called Liu Xiaoshan worshipped heroes even though he failed. He was clearly a Bronze Warrior, and he even had a silver sword hanging from his waist. He was not afraid of being cumbersome while working.

At that time, something happened in the Dragon Clan. A lowly Poisonous Dragon wanted to abduct a White Dragon infant that hadn't matured yet.

The Poisonous Dragon was not a match for them, coupled with the fact that this matter had alarmed the Dragon Realm, the Poisonous Dragon fled all the way to the remote area where Liu Xiaoshan was.

The pursuers of Dragon Clan followed closely behind, severely injuring the Poisonous Dragon.
As a result, the Poisonous Dragon had hidden. Just as the Dragon Clan was searching for the Poisonous Dragon, Liu Xiaoshan, who was on the mountain gathering horse fodder, discovered the trace of the Poisonous Dragon.

Who knows if this fellow was bold or not, he actually dared to enter the Poisonous Dragon's hiding place by himself, it was also the Poisonous Dragon's bad luck, it was heavily injured and lost consciousness, before it could even resist, it was killed by Liu Xiaoshan with his silver sword!

Even if one were to say that the silver sword could not break through the defenses of the Dragon Clan, the Poisonous Dragon's skin and flesh was ripped apart by the Dragon Clan.

It was because that Poisonous Dragon was a criminal wanted by the Dragon Clan, and Liu Xiaoshan was one of the few humans who did not receive any form of retaliation from the Dragon Clan.

His battle had made him famous, and even though Dragon Clan did not chase after his actions of slaying Dragons, they did not give him a good face either.

However, it was because of his feat of slaying a Dragon that he succeeded.
First, he married the daughter of a marquis here, and his silver sword became a semi-divine tool.

During the chaos in the world, he had risen to prominence, and because his wife had collected a lot of books, he had fumbled to cultivate them. In the end, he had become a Sword Saint and established his Great Han Empire for thousands of years.

It was just that he, the Emperor, had lived a rather long life. He had abdicated the throne by himself, and the one who succeeded him was not one of his sons, because his son was already dead, but his grandson.

Amongst the hundreds of grandsons, he had picked the one with the highest cultivation and passed on the throne to him. Afterward, he had gone into seclusion.

However, a few sword gods appeared later on, because they were all members of the imperial family. Thus, the Liu Family had always had firm control over their Great Han Empire.

Then came the legend of " the God of Law Elfa" and "Sword Saint Liu Xiaoshan".

The other Empires' histories were almost the same, without Sword Saint or a Law God, even the established kingdom Xia could not ascend to become an empire after tens of thousands of years of association and history. This was because even though the Xia Empire had a long history, there had never been any strong warriors.

Similar legends had been told in the other countries. Some of them had the highest military power to support their country, while others were from the royal family or the royal family.

No matter how useless, she was till the princess' prince consort.

In the end, Gongyang Xinghan concluded that the most powerful force could only serve as a deterrent, like a nuclear weapon. You have it, I have it, so it's best if we don't fall out or die together!

This was just like the Dragon Clan, it was the highest Race on the world's pyramid. However, because there were too few Dragons, being able to live in one's own territory for a short period of time, and adding that they were so arrogant and spoiled, they looked down on existences weaker than them.

In any case, who was the Emperor and whether or not they were unified had nothing to do with the Dragon Clan.

There were many races along the way, and no one who was in a position dared to provoke the Dragon Clan.

The ones who dared to provoke were either antiquated or exterminated.
These were all bloody lessons!

Gongyang Xinghan watched with relish. Discovering that this Another World was quite interesting, it was similar to the fantasy games in the West that he had played before.

It had rained in the past few days, so Gongyang Xinghan was afraid that the little Dragon cubs would get wet.

At first, it was fine when it rained, but then the clouds thickened and lightning began to strike.

Gongyang Xinghan was so scared that he started beating Golden Dragon King. "It's so loud, what do we do if we disturb the little Dragon cubs?"

Even though there was some distance between the entrance of the Sunflower-shaped Cave and the main hall, the Dragon Clan hearing was very good!

Gongyang Xinghan was afraid that the little Dargonb cubs would be scared.

"Why did you hit me?" Although it didn't hurt, Golden Dragon King still felt awkward.

"Can't you let the thunder outside not be heard?" Gongyang Xinghan was furious, but he was afraid of disturbing the little Dragon cubs, so he quickly wrapped a thick towel around them.

As expected, the little Dragon cubs that usually slept obediently were woken up. At this time, no one was sleeping, they just closed their eyes and sniffed around.

Why don't you sleep? You should sleep at this point.

Gongyang Xinghan was extremely anxious. In the end, he carried all six little Dragon cubs in his arms. They were not big, so six of them were full and did not take up too much space.

He just wanted to protect the little Dragon cubs from the thunder.

"They're not that weak." Golden Dragon King scratched his head. "It's just a bit noisy, they just can't sleep at night. Besides, how can a dignified Dragon be cowardly?"

Although Dragon Realm was spring all year round, it was still windy and rainy, but there were very few thunderstorms.

Especially in Dragon Valley, which was located in the center of Dragon Realm, it was even rarer to see a thunderstorm.

Gongyang Xinghan had been here for a year and had only experienced it a few times. Furthermore, the sound of thunder was very soft, so the sound that came in was even softer.

This time was different. The rain was heavy, and the sound of thunder and lightning was also very loud.

Golden Dragon King thought for a moment. "That's simple."

He did not know what he did, but the noise was gone!

"How?" Gongyang Xinghan was surprised.

"It's just a soundproof barrier." Golden Dragon King said casually: "An intermediate level mage can do it."

"Then why didn't you make this barrier earlier, causing them to all... Huh?" Gongyang Xinghan was so angry that he wanted to scold Golden Dragon King. However, when he looked down, he saw that the little guys were rubbing against each other as they were very close. The little golden dragon cub raised his head and slowly opened his eyes!

Because they were Elemental Dragons, their bodies were very small, making their heads especially big.
On the head, the eyes were the most prominent. The large eyes occupied half of the upper half of the head.

The little Gold Dragon's large eyes were pure gold, even more, beautiful than the color of Pure Gold. However, it was probably because he had just opened his eyes, and normally, he wouldn't be able to see clearly at this time, so even though his eyes were open, he wasn't able to focus properly. His eyes blinked a few times, then closed again.

However, when Gongyang Xinghan opened his eyes and took a look, he excitedly pinched Golden Dragon King: "Look, he opened his eyes."

Golden Dragon King also looked at Xiao JinLong blankly.

Both were Gold Dragons, and this Gold Elemental Dragon Cub was the future of the Gold Dragon's side.

While the two of them were looking at Xiao JinLong, the little silver dragon cub also opened his eyes.
