[You dive deeper into the river!]
[Hundreds of ters, thousands of ters, tens of thousands of ters...]
[As you dive deeper and deeper, you find it sowhat unbelievable!]
[You've already descended hundreds of thousands of ters, haven't you?]
[And yet, you still haven't reached the bottom!]
[Is this what rivers were like in ancient tis?]
[It's truly unimaginable.]
[As you go deeper into the water, you beco increasingly cautious!]
[After all, the deeper the water, the more likely you are to encounter powerful fierce beasts.]
[However, your worries are unnecessary.]
[This is the territory of the Azure Flood Dragon, and no other water beasts linger here.]
[A few minutes later, you reach the bottom without any danger.]
[You clearly see a massive dragon palace structure at the bottom.]
[Could this be the Azure Flood Dragon's palace?]
[You gradually approach, softly calling out, "Azure Flood Dragon King."]
[But there's still no response.]
[Finally, you decide to step into the underwater dragon palace.]
["Creak!" You push open the dragon palace door without any hindrance.]
[Contrary to the grandeur outside, the scene inside the palace is filled with silence and desolation!]
[Not a single figure is in sight!]
[You continue to venture deeper.]
[After a long while, you finally hear a faint sound.]
[You cautiously move toward the source of the sound.]
["Roar!" Suddenly, you hear a dragon roar.]
[You see an azure giant dragon not far from you.]
[It is curled up, seemingly in pain.]
[You instinctively call out softly, "Azure Dragon?"]
[You never expected that in your search for the Azure Flood Dragon, you would encounter the Azure Dragon!]
[You wonder if the Azure Flood Dragon has successfully transford into a dragon.]
["You say I'm a dragon? Am I really considered a dragon?"]
[Your soft call did not escape the Azure Dragon's ears.]
[It asks you incredulously.]
[It seems to want your confirmation.]
[The Azure Dragon's reaction leaves you puzzled!]
[But you still instinctively ask, "You're not a dragon? Then what are you?"]
["What am I? What am I? I don't know either! But they all say I'm not a true dragon!"]
["Roar!" A mournful dragon roar echoes.]
[The Azure Dragon's body stretches out.]
[You witness a terrifying sight!]
[You notice that more than half of the azure scales on the Azure Dragon's body have been removed.]
[No wonder it was curled up before, occasionally showing signs of pain.]
[Then, the Azure Dragon speaks again, "True dragons have golden scales, but ? I'm azure, I'm... I'm not a true dragon!"]
[The words of the Azure Dragon reveal a strong sense of sorrow.]
[And you sense sothing amiss.]
[It seems there's a dramatic story here!]
[Could it be that there are no Azure Dragons in this world?]
[So, the Azure Dragon was ostracized?]
[Is that why it feels resentnt? Desolation?]
[You're even wondering now if the Azure Dragon might actually be the Azure Flood Dragon.]
[But because there are no azure dragons in this world, its origin is considered an anomaly, so others call it a flood dragon?]
[Even it doesn't consider itself a dragon?]
[The more you think about it, the more plausible it seems!]
[As a transmigrator from the 21st century, you feel the need to enlighten the Azure Dragon.]
[You slowly speak, "Cal head, deer antlers, snake body, fish scales, tiger mouth, eagle claws, ox ears, lion nose, goldfish tail; you possess all the features that symbolize a dragon, why wouldn't you be considered a dragon?"] R
["But, but I don't have golden scales!"]
["Who said dragons must have golden scales?"]
["But the Ancestral Dragon said only those like it, with golden scales, are true dragons; those like with azure scales, and others with different colored scales, are called anomalies."]
[Upon hearing the Azure Dragon's words, you understand.]
[Indeed! It's a classic tale of racial ethics.]
[Clearly, the Ancestral Dragon is an old stubborn one.]
[It only acknowledges the status of golden dragons, and all other colored dragons are ostracized.]
[The Azure Dragon is evidently one of them.]
[At this mont, you look at the Azure Dragon with nearly half of its azure scales removed!]
[You can already imagine that this was done by the Azure Dragon itself.]
[It hates its azure scales, hoping to gain recognition from its kin and the Ancestral Dragon.]
[But clearly, this approach is futile!]
[This is the Azure Dragon, the leader of the four sacred beasts in legends; far more powerful than ordinary golden dragons; who would have thought it would be ostracized in this world!]
[Thinking of this, you can't help but say, "Why seek its recognition? As long as you're strong enough, if you say you're a dragon, the Ancestral Dragon wouldn't dare deny it!"]
[Your words seem to give the Azure Dragon a new perspective.]
[Instantly, it falls silent.]
[It had never considered surpassing the Ancestral Dragon one day.]
[If it truly surpasses the Ancestral Dragon in strength, would it then be recognized by its kin?]
[Perhaps it's really possible!]
[After all, it knows that this world still respects strength above all.]
[After a long ti, the Azure Dragon seems to have figured it out and solemnly says to you, "Thank you!"]
[Through a brief exchange, you gain the friendship of the Azure Dragon.]
[Afterward, you begin to inquire about the Azure Flood Dragon.]
[You're still not sure if the Azure Flood Dragon is the Azure Dragon!]
[Finally, you receive a definite answer.]
[The Azure Dragon is indeed the Azure Flood Dragon.]
[However, it's not that the people of the Azure Flood Dragon Tribe mistook it for a flood dragon!]
[But rather, its dragon identity is not recognized by the Dragon Clan, so it calls itself a flood dragon to the outside world.]
[Afterward, you ask many questions.]
[Such as the situation beyond the Endless Mountains.]
[Where there are human settlents, and so on!]
[Unfortunately, the Azure Dragon says: Since it was ostracized by its race and expelled from the Dragon Clan, it has been hiding in the river within the mountains.]
[So it knows nothing about the world beyond the Endless Mountains.]
[It only knows that the Endless Mountains are vast, with many small settlents like the Azure Flood Dragon Tribe.]
[But it doesn't know about large human settlents either.]
[However, there is good news, which is that the Azure Dragon knows many dangerous places within the Endless Mountains.]
[It informs you of all these locations.]
[After obtaining the information you need, you don't linger.]
[Instead, you say to the Azure Dragon, "You are a dragon, a one-of-a-kind Azure Dragon, I look forward to hearing your legend!"]
[Then you bid farewell and leave.]
[Unbeknownst to you, after you leave, the Azure Dragon holds out a dragon egg; softly murmuring, "Child, did you hear? We are dragons, soone acknowledged us as dragons!"]
[Afterward, the Azure Dragon performs a series of spells on the dragon egg.]
[Then it murmurs, "Child, wait a little longer, wait until I make everyone acknowledge our identity as Azure Dragons, then be born!"]
