The tales from old Kaman opened up a whole new world for Austin, who had always stayed at ho.
Even though before setting out, Austin had the Dragon Nest Beastn gather so information about the Central Earth World, how could this compare to the knowledge of an old White Dragon who had personally experienced various countries of Central Earth and traveled the entire world?
Many aspects of the world’s customs and cultures are revealed unintentionally at so mont, showcasing a vast world.
It was a journey that couldn’t be fully recounted even in ten days and nights.
The level of excitent could almost fill an adventure novel with tens of millions of words.
Until the latter part of the banquet, old Kaman was already drunk, slumped over the table, still mumbling indistinctly about so experience.
The old White Dragon used to not be a talkative dragon, more often losing himself in the taste of alcohol.
But today, once he started talking, he couldn’t stop.
This was because of Austin’s appearance, who turned the tide by rescuing the remaining lineage of the Dolan White Dragon from the brink of extinction. Having survived what seed like a crisis, and seeing hope for the Dolan White Dragon to continue surviving and even fight back against the Frost Giants, old White Dragon Kaman’s emotions were like a roller coaster, which is why he talked to Austin about so many things, finally losing himself in mories of the past.
When people get old, they enjoy reminiscing.
Recalling the battles and proud monts of their youth.
Dragons are no exception.
Old Kaman was very old, so old that he was reaching the end of his lifespan.
In the past, amidst harsh realities, he used alcohol to numb himself.
Even dragons can be numbed by alcohol.
But now, with the pressure released, he began to ramble on, like an ordinary old man speaking of everything.
Very long-winded, so words were repetitive.
For so reason, a feeling of lancholy suddenly welled up in Austin’s heart.
It was a calm sadness at the approach of life’s end, a sadness that, regardless of status or race, when reaching the end of life, resonates with a natural life rhythm.
Austin suddenly understood.
Because old Kaman was about to die.
Indeed, he was about to die.
Though dragons live long, they only have a lifespan of a thousand years. Now, old Kaman was over nine hundred years old, and combined with the hidden injuries from battles in his youth, he didn’t have much ti left.
During the previous Frost Giant attack, old Kaman displayed great might, tearing off an arm of a Legendary Level Frost Giant, severely injuring another Legendary Frost Giant.
But that was the last burst of energy before death.
This over nine hundred-year-old White Dragon was running out of ti.
Austin’s heart suddenly fell silent.
He didn’t know what he was feeling.
Many years ago, a young Dolan White Dragon nad Kaman was full of spirit, traveling through the Central Earth World, witnessing the endless wonders of the continent.
At that ti, the White Dragon lineage of Dolan still ruled over the entire Dolan Glacier Plateau.
At that ti, they were full of vigor and high spirits.
In youth, the ups and downs of the past, the sweet, sour, bitter, and grievances, or the regrets of bygone days, now in old age, past events were untraceable, even with more regrets, it all turns into a sigh, rging into a cup of bitter wine.
The cycle of life, illness, and death is sothing one cannot escape in life.
The Dragon Race is the sa; even with bloodlines at the world’s pinnacle and lifespans of a thousand years, they also face the fate of aging and death.
For a mont, Austin felt deeply emotional.
Since birth, Austin had only lived for a dozen or twenty years, with a long way until the thousand-year lifespan limit.
This is the self-indulgence of the long-lived species.
Thus, Austin never thought about the issues of life-consuming, aging, and death.
There was still a long ti ahead.
However, today, seeing old White Dragon Kaman with his own eyes, he couldn’t help but think of more distant things.
"Life, aging, illness, and death, heavenly cycles? No, I will never accept a predestined final fate!"
"One day, I will roam the universe, transcending beyond endless space-ti!"
"Only I can decide my life and death!"
Previously, Austin wanted to grow stronger to survive in a dangerous world.
He didn’t have very distant goals, only the pressing need for survival.
Only by becoming stronger could he ignore the various dangers in the forest and survive.
Now, he had achieved that.
In the Kawa Great Forest, his power had already reached the pinnacle, and even across the entire Seta Continent, he was first-rate in the world. From now on, the sky was high, and the birds could fly freely.
However, in this era, with the revival of certain ancient mighty beings and the awakening of the Divine.
As the ancient kings of remote ages were about to awaken one after another, and the Divine in the starry sky would gradually awaken, Legendary Level strength would likely fall behind the progression of the tis.
So Austin had to keep moving forward.
The next goal was Epic!
At this mont, a more distant thought arose in his heart.
That is to reach the eternal shore, the end of the starry sky.
"After eight thousand years, even the most astonishing Legendary cannot escape the cycle of life, aging, illness, and death. Despite past glories, in the end, it all fades away with death."
"But I am different, my journey is in the myriad worlds of the heavens. The endless star river worlds are my true destination. Before transcending that endless star river, I will not die in this tedious cycle of life, aging, illness, and death!"
Seeing old White Dragon Kaman’s current state made Austin even more determined to find the path to Epic.
Epic, and even the Divine beyond that, although not absolutely eternal, those who touch the Ti Power have already set half a foot into the realm of eternity.
...
Ti slipped by.
Since the Frost Giant invasion, three days had quickly passed.
Three days later,
On the high mountain icefields, the wind was bitterly cold, and the cold wind was like a knife.
If not for the extraordinary beings or those living in the native world, they would have been frozen to death in an instant in this extre cold.
In the top cold current, suddenly, a group of massive shadows flew by.
Blocking out the sky, obscuring the sun, covering the heavens.
The dreadful chill seed to freeze even the snowflakes falling between heaven and earth.
Swish!
The massive shadows landed on the high ice, stirring up a vast gale, mixed with an enormous amount of snow.
"It’s right up ahead!"
White Dragon Casares landed beside Austin, pointing to a city far away, still twinkling like stars despite the distance of over a hundred miles, and spoke.
The Holy City of the Dolan White Dragon lineage, once the most sparkling gem on the vast glacier,
Ice Crystal Royal City·Nivo
