Behind them, Farina, Livi, Otella, Meimei and others were all there, and the entire group had arrived.

Farina didn't run like crazy, but she was also using dragon flame to speed up. She was worried that these girls would really have a conflict with the Dragon God.

Leon touched his temples. The clear feeling brought by the cleansing of his soul and body by the entire earth system was suddenly overwhelmed by a headache. He quickly started thinking about how to stop them from running away.

However, Andasu, who was about to rush to Inanna, was the first to slow down due to the earthquake, and Alulu and Dorothy behind her also stopped their Mercedes-Benz.

Leon knew without a doubt what the people in the Star Flower Troupe would think and do when they woke up in the morning and found that he and Zoe had disappeared. He wondered if the door of the captain's office was still intact.

If they found out that they were not inside, they would definitely start searching, so before being "taught" by Inanna, he specifically asked Farina to explain the situation.

This kind of thing would definitely attract everyone on the ship to come and do something interesting. Well, it couldn't be considered a good thing for Utila not to see Meluna. Judging from Shushu's helpless expression, she didn't understand the situation and was just following along.

All of them were so focused on Inanna's behavior that they didn't realize what the "mountain" next to them was.

Supported by its huge claws that could smash rocks in one blow, the Earth Dragon raised its head. With its protruding jaw and strong neck, no one would doubt that this was the shape that was grown to lift an entire mountain. On both sides of the dragon's mouth, there was a pair of huge fangs that soared into the sky, no different from the sharp rock pillars at the top.

He was crawling on the ground, but the height of his back was over a hundred meters.

The rock wall behind the hundred-meter mountain began to move. This was his tail, which was now helping the dragon turn into the wilderness.

Inanna stood on the dragon's head, and the dragon crawled to the center of the wasteland with an earth-shaking movement. It raised its forearms and strong jaws, and lifted up the entire rock layer on the ground. Suddenly, the weather changed. The huge slate that was turned upright rolled up a waterfall of mud, which turned into a sandstorm in the wind.

"Ugh, ugh!"

The girls each used their magic to disperse the dust, and Leon erected a wind shield to dispel the momentary sandstorm for them. When the blinding dust dissipated, a small hill had been created on the spot by the Earth Dragon.

He continued to turn the earth, but no one wanted to say anything, although everyone had a complicated expression.

"Captain, what good did you get from not coming back all night?"

Dorothy seemed to have much to say, and to be sarcastic, but all her words died away halfway through, and became mere general inquiries.

“That’s quite a lot.”

Li Ang raised his right hand. On his wrist, a circle of patterns was extremely eye-catching. It looked like dragon scales, mixed with the marks of dragon claws.

"Is this the one in the hand of the crazy woman with the sword?" asked Dorothy.

"Well, it's about the same, but there could be a big difference. I don't know where she got that one."

"This is the mark of the 'Sole Agent', the highest recognition from the Dragon God," Farina explained.

"What? The highest?"

The girls gathered around and examined the brand closely.

[Earth Dragon's Mark]

[This imprint houses the power of the mighty dragon of earth, the very force that supports the world. This is a blessing bestowed upon you by the gods, sharing the true essence. The ultimate effects of earth and dragon power will gradually unfold within you.]

[Effect: Dragon Blood Power, Earth Element Command]

"Tsk, tsk."

When the girls were either surprised or didn't know what to say, it was Livy who spoke first.

"Inanna is serious. Before the world was shattered, she treated all creatures on earth equally, but she never bestowed this level of blessing upon anyone."

The Sea Dragon Ancestor stared at Li Ang, pursed her lips, and said nothing more.

Farina continued, "Due to the Earth Dragon God's situation, the Dragon Gods were concerned that she might not be able to control her emotions during the Desolate Period. They advised her not to seek an agent, and she never did."

The Dragon Witch looked at her bewildered companions and said, "Just consider this the highest blessing an agent can receive."

"So that's how it is." Alulu nodded. She was somewhat touched by the blessing of the gods, but she was not the type to express herself directly. She just started thinking about something silently.

"Sister Falin doesn't have this kind of mark?" asked Zoe, who was outspoken.

Dorothy, standing nearby, grinned and whispered, "That's just like asking someone in the workplace why they didn't get a promotion. Is that an appropriate question?"

Zoe naturally heard this, but the girl didn't think anything of it. She responded, "I think it's Sister Falin who's helping that big guy with this and that. Is he really that stingy?"

The big guy refers to the human incarnation of Agni.

"I..." Farina's expression looked somewhat meaningful, as if there was something hidden.

"Is it about the blood of the flying dragon?" Levi looked at the dragon witch. Her calmness showed that Farina's situation was no secret in the eyes of the Dragon Ancestor.

"Yes." The Dragon Witch nodded.

This involved her past, which Li Ang knew clearly. Several times in the past, his companions had touched upon the surface of her past and then stopped there after realizing that she was unwilling to reveal it.

Now that the Dragon Ancestor is here, the secret has been revealed.

"No need to tell us, this has nothing to do with my situation." Leon pulled Zoe and said to the Dragon Witch.

"No, it does matter."

The red-haired woman smoothed her long hair and said, "The Star Flower Troupe has a deep connection with the Dragon. It is indeed time to make it clear."

417. Supreme Dragon Man

"These boring old stories are a bit long in the tooth. Let's sit down and talk."

After deciding to tell her past, Farina looked relieved.

Leon immediately arranged a resting place for everyone. In this deserted wilderness, he could raise the ground with a wave of his hand to create a rock shelf to provide shade for everyone, and lift the huge rocks under the soil to form a round table and chairs.

Finally, the water flowed from afar to moisten the ground. At the call of nature and the earth, the entire wilderness of the breeding ground responded to Li Ang. Clusters of small flowers of various colors bloomed around the stone tables and chairs, and the breeze blew gently, making the environment suddenly comfortable and pleasant.

This move made the members' eyes shine with surprise, but they did not speak when Farina talked about this.

If it weren't for the giant dragon in the distance that was constantly lifting up the mountains, this would look like a simple but well-designed country garden.

"Let me think, where should I start..."

After everyone sat down, Farina pinched the curly red hair beside her collarbone and twisted it around her slender index finger, not knowing how to organize those chaotic memories.

"Blood of a flying dragon?" Leon tried to find a point of entry.

"Ah, yes."

It seemed as if Farina just remembered how this topic came up. In the short time while she was waiting for Leon to build a place for the conversation, the emergence of those past events had already made her eyes confused.

She sat up straight, looked at everyone, and said, "Leon knows my last name, but you may not know it. Let me formally introduce myself. My full name should be Farina Lupers Vaywin."

Upon hearing the name, Livy raised her eyebrows: "Sure enough, well, considering the current Newbis, it has a great background."

This statement piqued the girls' curiosity, especially Dorothy, who knew a little about surnames and aristocratic culture. Her rainbow eyes rolled as she said, "I don't think I've heard of a similar form of nobility, but it seems very ancient. Does it have a long history?"

"This naming method was used by some people with dragon blood in the early years, which is what Leon defined as the 'Golden Age'. The pronunciation of her name is similar to some ancient words." Livy said.

"Can it be traced back to such an ancient time?" Dorothy was surprised and looked at Farina with a new understanding.

Among the nobility, strength is undoubtedly the most important factor affecting status and reputation. However, in an old and ancient system, emerging forces sometimes find it difficult to convince the public with these factors. Even some declining families can rely on their past glory to delay their decline, because respect for family background is often a part of the stability of the system.

Dorothy might not understand to this extent, but she is aware of the simple stereotype that “the older, the more powerful.”

Because of this, nobles in many places often like to claim ancestry for themselves and brag about their origins, but Farina's bloodline can be traced back to the Age of Gods, which will definitely surprise the half-elves.

"How many years is that? From the Age of Gods to now?" Alulu asked.

"It's not recorded in Newbis's history. Many places don't even recognize the Guild Calendar."

Li Ang said: "The Silver Age can be estimated, probably more than 10,000 years."

"Leon's divisions are easy to understand," Livy said. "When Newbis collapsed at the end of the Golden Age, both the material and magical dimensions underwent a process of shattering and reconnecting, while the numerous smaller dimensions that existed at the time all collapsed and disappeared."

“So, I perished in that calamity, and the other so-called gods didn’t fare well either. The First Born was destroyed because of its own actions, and the Six Dragons and the Dragon Ancestor also awakened from their slumber along with the calamity.

"The newly born mortals awakened earlier than the Dragon God. By the time they revived, the world had already been developing again for a long time. That was what you call the Silver Age. Those people named the sky island world they inhabited 'Newbis'."

"Wait," Meimei looked at Livi, "Lord Leviathan, aren't you dead? How do you know all this?"

"Have you forgotten that Aqua and I are different aspects of the Water God of this world? Some knowledge has been contributed back to me as my strength has recovered." Levy smiled.

"So, Sister Faline is Dragonborn?" said Dorothy.

"Can you let her tell the story herself?" Li Ang looked at these guys helplessly. They were talking to each other, but the protagonist didn't say anything.

"Okay okay."

The girls all sat up straight. Otela, who had nothing to do with it, was stunned when she saw others being scolded by Leon, and then she followed his example cautiously.

Farina smiled and said, "It does have to do with my last name."

The Dragon Witch explained that her full name was a legitimate name for a dragonborn. The middle "Rupers" was derived from the ancient language of Newbis, meaning "from the red", and Vaivin followed the same rule, meaning "flying dragon".

"This naming method was widely used by dragonborn in ancient times, when although the power level was high, civilization had not yet been widely established and no fixed rules had been formed. Of course, I didn't know it started in the Age of Gods. I thought it started during the Dragon Empire."

"The middle name explains who our ancestor is, and the last name refers to the form of our most direct bloodline," Farina said.

Leon said, "So, in the eyes of beings with knowledge of dragons, your name means 'Falina, the flying dragon of the bloodline of the red dragon'?"

He felt something was not right, but on the surface it was correct to understand it this way.

"Yes."

Farina glanced at Livi, then looked at Inanna who was sitting on the top of the mountain dragon in the distance.

"Although I never felt it was true, the meaning of this name is indeed true, referring directly to the Red Dragon among the ancestors of dragons."

"Is it because of some taboo that we don't usually mention 'Rupers'?"

Farina nodded and said, "From the family tree that was mostly burned, I can only tell that for some reason, the family didn't want us to hide our middle name."

"Don't cover up 'Vaiwin'?"

"No, it's actually necessary to preserve it. This is what we're talking about, 'Dragon Blood'."

Farina raised her "Dragon Blood Heart Core Holy Staff" and pointed the sharp part of the flaming gem surrounding the head of the staff at the palm of her hand. No one expected her sudden action. Amidst a few exclamations, blood flowed from her palm and soon gathered together and dripped onto the ground.

With two hissing sounds, the flowers below that were dripped with blood quickly withered, and the blood dripping on the sand seemed to carry heat, and it actually formed a flame before it subsided.

"This is?"

"Why is this happening?"

"The blood of the flying dragon actually lives up to its name?"

The girls chatted at once, while Leon grinned and said to Farina, "Case solved."

"I'm sorry for keeping it from you."

"What what?" Zoe felt that there was something else between their words.

"Once, we encountered a powerful enemy and everyone was injured. Farina, as the spellcaster, was left alone and surrounded by enemies. We all thought she was in trouble, but she ended up taking care of the enemy first."

The Dragon Witch tossed her long hair over her shoulders and said, "I'm also a girl who loves beauty. I don't want to be compared to a wyvern, but there are enemies who really want to kill me. They are indeed fighting a dragon."

"It's true that wyverns are ugly and hateful." Zoe nodded. She understood this best.

"The mystery of those people being burned to death by the inexplicable flames has been solved. After all, you lost a lot of blood at that time." Li Ang nodded.

"However," he continued, "Why does your bloodline affect your ability to accept the power of the Fire Dragon? Is it because it comes from the Red Dragon?"

"It has nothing to do with the Red Dragon." Farina smiled. "It would be great if it really was a Red Dragon. Then I don't know what kind of power I could control, and I wouldn't..."

As she spoke, it seemed as if some memories were triggered. Her habitual smile dimmed and her whole body suddenly froze, as if some huge dark cloud had risen.

Even the girls nearby were aware of this atmosphere, and their conversations suddenly became quieter.

Farina took a deep breath and looked at everyone: "My bloodline is cursed."

When no one responded, she continued, "The verifiable records our family once possessed date back to the era of the Dragon Worship Empire, which means it is inextricably linked to the Dragon Worship Cult.

"The Dragon Worship Empire descends from a tribe that had close ties with the dragon race in ancient times. Perhaps it was the dragon blood in their bodies that endowed them with strong bodies and spirits. They were the first to resurrect from the collapse of the heavens and the earth, taking root on the Sky Island and beginning to expand and spread."

The Bailong Empire was a civilization that was once extremely glorious. Before it declined and decayed, although it did not reach the noble level of leading the entire sky, it did bring a lot of light to the confused world.

In the Dragon Kingdom, there is a worship of different dragon clans, from the red and black twins to the Leviathan, which they don't know has fallen.

"That sounds weird," Livy said.

Li Ang smiled at her. "After all, you haven't felt their worship. Mengze Island should be the remnants of that group of believers. We discussed it back then. Perhaps it was fate, or perhaps it was the perception in their blood, that led them to settle there."

"But I don't have any dragon-related blood." Meimei said.

There was doubt in the white-haired girl's words. As the darling of water, this power of hers did not seem to come from the blood of the sea dragon, even though she was indeed worshipped in the village.

"Yes, even if it's so thin that no one except me can see it, you do have the blood of the sea serpent. However, the grace you receive does not come from this."

Livy looked confused but didn't say anything else.

After they finished their conversation, Farina continued, “Since it is an empire with a long history, the Bailong civilization naturally experienced changes in power and form, and there were also times when it ceased to exist as an empire.

"In short, some factions lost power, and some were destroyed. Among them, some could not accept the outcome and went to extremes, using some taboo and corrupt methods.
