Chapter: 179 Beings like him
From Ancient Dragon to Primordial Dragon, not many True Dragons can make such a breakthrough... This living history of an Ancient Silver Dragon might be about to pass away.
Luna was deeply worried, and a look of sadness and sorrow appeared on her face once again.
"Probably so."
"At this time, Dragon Island summoning us can only mean this. I can't think of any other reason."
"Grandpa Nehemiah might have a few more years left, but that time is so short..."
Nehemiah... that must be the name of the Ancient Silver Dragon.
Learning that such a being was about to pass away, Brian felt a complex emotion.
He was an Immortal Dragon, not dying of old age, only susceptible to natural disasters or man-made calamities.
Beings like him, apart from the lofty deities, were unimaginably rare.
He suddenly thought that in a thousand years, when he was at his peak, the Silver Dragon Luna before him would likely have entered the Dragon Tomb, her beautiful eyes forever closed.
Brian sighed softly, then his eyes lit up, "Has he ever considered becoming a Dracolich?"
Luna shook her head decisively, "Liches are ugly and evil creatures. No Silver Dragon would stoop to such a transformation."
After a pause, she continued, "With Grandpa Nehemiah's power, after his death, his soul would likely return to Mount Celestia. Death might just be a rebirth."
Mount Celestia, the outer plane where the Metallic Dragon God Bahamut resides.
Returning to Mount Celestia... that indeed seemed possible.
True Dragons above the Ancient level would surely be welcomed by the Metallic Dragon God.
But only if the Ancient Silver Dragon himself was willing.
Whether it was the Metallic Dragon God or the Mother of Evil Dragons, these two most renowned Dragon Gods were of lesser divine power, primarily because True Dragons were proud and did not worship deities.
In reality, all True Dragons, regardless of alignment, held respect for the two Dragon Gods. Metallic Dragons respected Tiamat, and Chromatic Dragons also revered Bahamut.
But respect is not the same as faith.
Few True Dragons worship the Dragon Gods, and even those who do are mostly shallow believers.
In the Prime Material Plane, if a Dragon God were to descend in avatar form and encounter an Ancient Silver Dragon or Red Dragon, it would be hard to say who would win in a fight.
As long as an Ancient Dragon doesn't leave the Prime Material Plane and doesn't give the deity's true form a chance to act, it can completely provoke the deity in various ways.
"Returning to Mount Celestia is also a good choice."
"It would be a great loss if such an Ancient Silver Dragon were to pass away."
Brian replied.
Luna nodded, sighing, "Yes, but if Grandpa Nehemiah could break through the ancient limit and become a Primordial Dragon, that would be even better."
"This time, Dragon Island is summoning us to gather the power of the Metallic Dragon Tribe to help Grandpa Nehemiah break through his limits."
Breaking through the life-and-death limit... external help is minimal; it mainly depends on oneself.
But any bit of help is crucial in such a situation, and the Metallic Dragon Tribe wouldn't miss any opportunity.
"I hope you succeed."
Brian sincerely wished.
Luna smiled, regaining her spirits, "Maybe Dragon Island is summoning us to celebrate Grandpa Nehemiah's breakthrough."
Her gaze passed through the still brilliant fireworks, looking up at the night sky.
"It's time to leave. It was nice meeting you on the way."
"When I return from Dragon Island, let's meet again in the far north Ice Field."
After speaking, Luna handed Brian a crystal and recorded his magical energy.
This was a communication crystal, not a magic gem, but a magical tool.
It recorded the magical energy fluctuations of the Spellcaster. Once activated, the communication crystal with the same source of magic would resonate. By infusing magic, it could transmit sound and images.
A magical version of a video call.
The magical energy fluctuation was equivalent to a phone number.
After explaining the use of the communication crystal to Brian, Luna no longer lingered. With a graceful leap, a pair of faint, semi-illusory cloud wings formed behind her. She soared into the sky, gradually disappearing into the night amidst the exclamations of onlookers.
To avoid causing too much commotion, she habitually maintained her human form while outside, even when traveling.
After Luna left, Brian lost interest in strolling around.
Transforming into a human form was just to satisfy Luna's curiosity.
With a leap, his body suddenly rose tens of meters into the air. In a burst of light, an enormous silver True Dragon emerged, its Dragon Wings blocking the bright moonlight, casting a large shadow.
He had no intention of considering others' feelings.
With a gentle flap of his Dragon Wings, Brian ignored the commotion and exclamations of the dense crowd below. In an instant, he disappeared from the spot.
