Deep within Wanlongyuan.

A massive tomb, resembling a mountain peak, stands silently here.

The marks of time are deeply imprinted on this weathered grave, exuding a strong sense of vicissitude and desolation.

In front of this magnificent tomb stands an enormous stone monument.

This stone tablet is like a towering monument, reaching straight into the sky.

Amazingly, it is carried on the back of a giant tortoise carved from lifelike stone.

The black tortoise was lifelike, with every texture clearly visible.

It seemed as if it could come back to life at any moment.

The surface of the stone tablet is covered with mysterious symbols that are vigorous and powerful, depicting dragons and phoenixes.

These symbols intertwine, like an ancient runic world at the dawn of creation, dazzling the eye and making it impossible to understand their meaning.

However, these seemingly chaotic "scribbles" are actually quite complex.

It is not a random scribble, but a profound and extremely obscure dragon language.

Except for the Dragon Ancestor Zhulong.

Only the second-class Five-Clawed Golden Dragon and Yinglong, as well as the third-class Five-Colored Dragon Clan members, can understand it.

Ordinary dragon members such as the 虬龙, 螭龙, 云龙, 盘龙, 角龙, 隺龙, 蛟龙, 亚龙, and 蝰蛇 are all unable to read it.

Therefore, when Zhu Chen first glimpsed those strange characters on the stele...

His pupils suddenly contracted.

A hint of surprise appeared on his handsome face!

Unexpectedly, the bones buried here were those of a second-class Yinglong, the second progenitor of the dragon race after the dragon ancestor Zhulong.

The inscription on the stone tablet records the many achievements of Geng Chen, the first ancestor of the dragon race, also known as the Yellow Dragon or Flying Dragon.

In addition, there are several secrets.

Everyone knows that the Eastern dragon race has no wings, its body resembles a snake, and it is covered with scales.

It can ride the clouds and mist, control thunder and lightning, and dominate the wind and rain of the human world.

However, Yinglong is truly an anomaly among the dragons.

Because it is similar to Western dragons, it is recorded in the annals of dragon history as a winged dragon.

Therefore, the inscription on the stone tablet generally states that the first ancestor of Yinglong, Gengchen, originally lived in the Xuanhuang Great World, helped the Yellow Emperor, one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the human race, to compete for the throne, hunted the Kui Niu, and fought alone against the four beasts of tiger, leopard, bear, and brown bear.

He helped Yu the Great control the floods and returned to the mortal world. With his dragon tail, he divided the land into rivers, opened the Dragon Gate, captured Wuzhiqi, and captured Xiangliu, the peerless war god. He also compiled the list of the twelve zodiac animals.

Legend has it that Yinglong was immortal and once divided Yin and Yang in the chaos, and its tears turned into the Yellow Springs of the underworld.

At the same time, Yinglong Gengchen is also the god of clouds, rain, thunder, and lightning who governs the center of the five directions and the earth of the five elements, the god of ditches and rivers, and the god of heavenly dragons. He is also known as the consort of Taiyi of Yinglong God when he was in charge of the capital region. He is an ancient god who was active in the primordial era.

The universe is divided into four eras: Ancient, Primordial, Primordial, Creation, and Chaos.

The present era is the Dharma-ending Age.

......

Back then, during that cataclysmic first Dragon-Phoenix Calamity.

The Five-Colored Dragon Kings resolutely chose to sacrifice themselves, using their powerful and fearless bodies to build an unbreakable defensive line, just to cover the escape of the heavily wounded first-generation Yinglong ancestor Gengchen from this terrible battlefield.

At the same time, he led a small number of equally wounded dragon clan members on a hasty escape to the Tianxuan Realm Sea.

And here, the Wanlongyuan was established.

This place became the last refuge for the surviving dragons.

Although they have a place to settle down temporarily.

However, these severely damaged dragon survivors were not able to truly escape the clutches of misfortune.

Because they participated in and bore the enormous consequences of that great war that was enough to destroy the entire Xuanhuang Universe.

The karmic force generated by cause and effect clings to them like a bone-deep sore.

Even after a period of recuperation and recovery, it is difficult to resist the erosion of this causal force.

Fate is beyond our control; we must abide by cause and effect!

The five elements generate each other to create yin and yang, and yin and yang are infinitely boundless, leading to reincarnation. Everything is within the realm of cause and effect.

The cause you do, the effect you reap—this is the unseen rule of the universe.

The power of cause and effect is mysterious and unpredictable; no living being can escape the law of cause and effect.

This thing is different from time and space, because the universe is spacetime, and cause and effect are the laws of the universe. The two are one and the same.

The law of causality is one of the fundamental laws of the universe. It states that every event has a cause, and these causes produce corresponding results.

You can't just cut it off whenever you want.

This is something even the gods fear; every world has its own system of destiny.

It's like having a script where anything can happen, from life and death to suffering.

The immortality of saints and supreme gods lies in their transcendence of this system, which is also the ultimate goal of cultivation.

Now, for some reason, they want to get involved in a certain event.

That's equivalent to returning to the system and being part of the script.

You'll lose control of yourself.

It changed from being "invincible" to having a "health bar" displayed.

......

Over time, the karmic force generated by cause and effect...

It relentlessly devoured the already severely injured lives of these dragon survivors.

In the end, one by one, they perished in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Dragons amidst pain and despair, turning into piles of white bones, witnessing the once glorious dragon race gradually heading towards its tragic fate of extinction.

Within this Wanlong Abyss shrouded in death.

Only Geng Chen, the first ancestor of Yinglong, managed to hold on until the end, thanks to his status as a Chaos Spirit and his profound cultivation.

She became the only remaining hope for the dragon race in this world, flickering like a candle in the wind.
