Chapter 7: The Dragon's Strife (I)
The whole world, with the disappearance of the ancient ice spirit, finally showed a hint of recovery.
However, due to the thick clouds in the sky all year round, even if there are stars around the planet that act as light sources, the light will never be able to penetrate the clouds and shine on the earth.
The world is still ruled by frost and dead silence, but this kind of ice, compared to the extreme cold brought by the ancient ice spirit before, is already very suitable for life to reproduce.
Although the boulder seal, which was severely damaged by the ancient ice spirit, was barely restored to its original appearance with the remnants of the ancient divine power of the ancient titan god, the laws set within it had been completely destroyed, and even all the surrounding shrines were affected.
They no longer attack all living beings, but instead share their power to nourish these lifeforms.
Under the warmth of this force, all kinds of creatures began to multiply on a large area on the planet, and thousands of species were born, and all things were abundant, adding a lot of vitality to this dead planet.
The huge ice crystal ball that was transferred from the extremely cold world by the elven guards to the previous frozen ancient ice spirit also began to melt slowly after countless years, and in the end, the entire ice ball actually directly became a huge dark blue water body.
In the water ball, the fluorescent light flashed, filled with a faint green color of great vitality, it seemed that under the previous lightning chain, the life forms in the ice crystal ball had not been completely transferred, and some life forms still remained inside.
With the disappearance of most of the life forms, these life forms remaining in the ice crystal ball, with the help of the pure energy in the ball, continue to nourish and grow.
In the blink of an eye, another thousand years have passed, and after the dragon clan lost the frost dragon, the dragons have no leader, and their strength has been greatly reduced.
In addition, the global temperature has been rising in the past hundred years, and various creatures frozen under the ice have appeared one after another, and they have continued to reproduce with the help of the energy of many shrines, and countless species have begun to quietly climb onto the stage of the planet, and the entire planet has slowly gotten rid of the situation of the dragon family.
It's just that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse.
Thousands of years ago, the ancient ice spirit had led the dragons to the top of the planet's biological chain, and even without the leadership of the frost dragon, it would be extremely difficult for other races to shake the dragons' status on the planet.
However, just when the dragons were unanimous with the outside world and insisted on the absolute supremacy of the planet, internal troubles quietly occurred.
With no more kings who could make dragons subservient, division and infighting were inevitable when it came to ruling over such a large race.
In the long years that followed, the dragon clan was divided into countless large and small forces, and the leaders of these forces were all extremely powerful beings in the dragon clan, including Hou Yi of the frost dragon, and various elders of the dragon clan.
They all believe that they have the strength to rule the whole clan, and they are not subordinate to each other.
As a result, the contradictions continued to intensify, and the leaders of these dragons began to lead their subordinates, leaving the dragons, and began to form their own forces throughout the continent.
In this way, a behemoth that had ruled the planet for thousands of years collapsed.
With the continuous rise of various emerging species and forces, some of the separated dragon forces have also disappeared in the big stage of history, and in the end, only the two dragon forces led by the Winter Wyvern and the Sky Dragon are still alive.
Winter Wyvern, as the first generation leader of the dragon clan and a direct descendant of the Frost Dragon, has naturally been recognized by many dragon clansmen.
They always believed that only the Winter Wyvern was the only new leader who had inherited the power of the Frost Dragon and was qualified to lead the dragons.
Facts have proved that the Winter Wyvern has indeed lived up to the expectations of the dragon clansmen, with the help of the inheritance power of the Frost Dragon bloodline in his body, he has mastered a variety of superb cold skills, and his excellent strength has won the support of many dragon groups.
It's just that as the Great Elder of the Dragon Clan of the same era as the Frost Dragon, the Sky Dragon, with the powerful prestige of the Patriarch in the dragon group, also has a group of followers who swear allegiance to the death.
The Sky Dragon and the Winter Wyvern each occupy the left and right half of the planet's territory, and the two forces fight all year round and do not give in to each other.
Since most of the supporters of the Winter Flying Dragon are the younger generation of the Dragon Clan, and the Sky Dragon is led by the elders of the Dragon Clan, the ageing fault phenomenon of the two forces is quite serious.
The young dragon clan led by the cold winter dragon fell in the long dragon clan strife that followed, and won a lot of victories.
But this victory came very reluctantly, once the battle between the two sides, the dragon of the sky personally participated, the dragon army led by the cold winter dragon was bound to be defeated and retreated.
The reason for this is that the Sky Dragon holds a weapon in his hand that makes the Winter Wyvern extremely fearful, and that is the strange ice eye left over from the original Frost Dragon.
In the era when the Frost Dragon fell, the Sky Dragon, as the most authoritative dragon elder in the clan, personally led a group of dragons and began to search for traces of the Frost Dragon on a large scale on the planet.
Eventually, he became the first to discover the remains of the Frost Dragon, and succeeded in acquiring the Frozen Eye, which carried the mixed power of the Frost Dragon, the Ancient Ice Spirit, and the White Lifeform.
In order to commemorate the Frost Dragon's contribution to the Dragons, the Sky Dragon gave this Ice Eye a name, the Eye of Skadi.
Skadi, in the Dragons, means, "the king of yesteryear".
Only dragonfolk who have made outstanding contributions to the dragon clan are eligible for this title.
Originally, after receiving this Ice Eye, the Sky Dragon originally intended to return it to the descendants of the Frost Dragon.
At that time, the Winter Wyvern was just a cub and didn't even have the ability to eat alone, so this Ice Eye was temporarily left by the Sky Dragon's side.
As this ice eye stayed by the side of the Sky Dragon for longer and longer, he was deeply attracted by the magical power contained in it.
Under the influence of the power of this ice eye for a long time, the Sky Dragon actually found that his body seemed to have stopped aging, and the power he possessed became stronger and stronger.
Watching the dragon clan elders of the same period as himself fall one after another, the Sky Dragon was even more sure of the terrifying nature of this ice eye, and the idea of occupying it slowly rose in his heart.
As the Winter Wyvern grew up, after inadvertently learning about this matter, it directly led to the complete separation of the two major forces in the dragon clan.
After the two sides completely drew a clear line, the Winter Wyvern has been fighting countless times to snatch back the relics of the ancestors.
However, although the Winter Wyvern has attracted most of the young new forces of the dragon clan in the name of the descendants of the Frost Dragon, it is still unable to compete with the Sky Dragon with the Eye of Skadi.
The long battle made the Winter Wyvern begin to become extremely bloody and furious, and he attributed the defeat of the battle to those weak dragon people.
He began to banish, and even slaughter, these weak beings, and the entire dragon herd was also weakened and unmotivated under his crazy and bloody barbaric rule, and the entire dragon herd no longer had the unity it had at the beginning.
Finally, one day, the ever-expanding self-confidence and belligerence in his heart completely overwhelmed the reason of the Winter Wyvern, and he unleashed the entire group of dragons and began to launch a final assault on the realm where the Sky Dragon was located.
Once again, the dragons completely obscured the entire sky, and everywhere was filled with the howls and roars of dragons.
Between the collision of the two forces, one after another giant dragons fell from the sky, wailing in all directions, and blood quickly enveloped the entire land, and even the clouds above seemed to be dyed crimson by this bloody halo.
The cold winter dragon is surrounded by frost, as if wearing a layer of frost armor, like a god of war, freely shuttling among the enemy dragons, and every time the dragon roars, the enemy dragons around it fall from the sky.
Severe Cold Burning is the unique power of the Frost Dragon, this power can give him supreme cold power, and all creatures that come close to him or are attacked by him will be judged by the power of extreme ice.
Although the entire dragon clan has long been accustomed to this kind of severe cold because of the climate on the planet, there is a limit to habits, and at this time, the extremely cold temperature brought by the cold and burning of the cold dragon in the cold winter is far beyond the maximum range that life can bear.
Seeing this, dozens of flying dragons around them also roared, hovering in an orderly manner in the air, forming an encirclement and suppression momentum towards the cold winter flying dragon group.
The Frost Winter Wyvern's giant eyes were cold, his wings opened widely, and a stream of ice crystal fragments mixed with a thick frost aura smashed directly towards the dozens of wyverns around him.
The rupture impact contains the purest power of the Winter Wyvern.
The dozens of flying dragons that were hit by this energy didn't even have a chance to scream, and they instantly turned into exquisite ice sculptures, falling from a high altitude and turning into ice chips all over the ground.
Looking at his own people in the sky, they were frantically slaughtered by the troops led by the Winter Flying Dragon, and the Sky Dragon, which was hidden in the glacier below, was finally enraged.
A terrifying dragon roar, like rolling thunder, completely overshadowed the roar of the dragons in the sky, and came from the continuous glaciers below.
The dragons in the sky were also completely shocked by this sudden dragon moan, and they all stopped their attacks and looked towards the endless glacier world below.
Even the Winter Wyvern quietly stopped the killing in front of him, suspended in mid-air, and stared down with an inexplicable look mixed with various emotions such as joy, madness, and resentment.
The thick layer of ice and snow that had accumulated for tens of millions of years was stirred by the sound of this penetrating dragon's groan, and a large area of avalanche occurred.
In the sea of snow raised by the avalanche, a huge dragon shadow with wings stretched enough to cover the sky and the sun pointed angrily at the sky between the churning of the snow sea, and flew up.
