The Ancient continued to say, “At Dragon City, you should have seen the Dragon Soul hidden deep below the arena. You should also know of its origin. In the past, I had a premonition that a great catastrophe was arriving. Thus I slaughtered 10,000 dragons, using the essence of their souls to refine the Dragon Soul.

“In addition, I tempered the corpses of 10,000 dragons, blending their flesh and blood to create a Myriad Dragon Body that could be used as the carrier for the Dragon Soul. The reason I did this was to create something that could help me deal with the unknown catastrophe in the future. But before I could complete it, the Dao Monarch’s true body arrived.

“You should know what happened afterwards. I fell into the Dao Monarch’s trap and was defeated by him. My body was split apart and suppressed, with only my consciousness surviving. Afterwards, because of the refinement process, the Dragon Soul was wholly loyal to me. But what I never expected was that as time passed, the Myriad Dragon Body would gain self-awareness and break through the spell I left behind to run away.”
