Beneath the icy pyramid.
An ancient voice echoed.
"I’ve heard this voice before, yes, in the distant past... I rember."
Just monts ago, Bugreit, who had exchanged insults, also seed to glean so information from this voice.
"Bugreit, is that right? You sly creature, you’re still alive."
"Bisgen, you’re Bisgen, aren’t you?"
"Yes, hahaha, it’s truly fate."
Clearly, these two dragons knew each other.
And they had known each other thousands of years before Bugreit had died.
When you think about it, this is not impossible.
The Dragon Race is rare, so knowing each other within the sa age group is not unlikely.
One might even say the likelihood is quite high.
Kana just didn’t expect that the owner of this Dragon’s Treasure Vault wasn’t completely dead yet. According to the ga plot, he might have taken his last breath in these recent decades.
For a giant dragon, a decade or so is but a blink of an eye, you could say he was already in the process of dying.
"Co in, to see an old friend in the last mont of returning one’s soul is truly delightful."
The ancient voice carried a faint joy within it.
The massive triangular pyramid cracked open, cold air emanating from within.
It was like a fiercely cold wind brushing against everyone.
Alicia tapped her scepter, a faint golden glow appeared on everyone’s bodies, warding off the excessive cold.
Everyone stepped inside.
Walking inside felt like entering a translucent blue crystal palace.
A small passageway led directly to an open space, and at the center of this open space was a massive blue crystalline dragon.
Its body was enormous.
It stood like a small mountain, nearly filling the entire space.
The huge body looked very emaciated; even the ice spike-like scales on its outer shell were dull and lackluster.
The enormous dragon head had eyes that could barely open a slit, and the pupils were dim and lifeless.
This seed to be a coffin he made for himself.
"It seems you really are dying," Bugreit said.
As a giant dragon, he clearly knew this was a grave prepared by a kin for himself.
"Indeed, a sly creature like you wouldn’t die so easily.
But even after thousands of years, you haven’t fully resurrected; it seems you’ve encountered quite a few hardships."
Hearing this ancient voice, Bugreit instead boasted, "It’s okay, I just slept for a while."
What he said was true.
The thod he prepared for himself for resurrection was rely a choice left to fate.
He then completely sealed his soul within his core. If his core were used as an energy source until exhausted, he would be completely dead.
But if, by so coincidence, his core was activated or awakened to so degree, he might return.
So the mont he closed his eyes, Bookret already embraced death.
"I’m curious, after my death, you should have known about the Void’s attack, why didn’t you leave?"
After waking up for so long, Bugreit had roughly understood the current tiline from Kana for orientation.
He also realized why he couldn’t feel the presence of his kin after awakening.
It turns out the Void had attacked.
And within a millennium of his death, this information was known to his kin.
So Bugreit had already prepared for the possibility that he wouldn’t et a single kin after his resurrection.
The ancient voice replied.
"Ah, there will always be dragons willing to stay behind."
"Heh, don’t try to fool ."
Bugreit didn’t believe such an answer at all.
The frozen giant dragon didn’t respond further, instead focusing its gaze on Kana and the others.
Clearly, its eyes were just narrow slits and lifeless, but its gaze felt heavy on those it looked upon.
"Those stones... They possess the power of creation."
"You an the Stone of Creation? That thing is not easy to use."
At least in Bugreit’s ti, it was like this.
For an entire Stone of Creation, making a wish upon it was extrely difficult, not to ntion the dragons were essentially outsiders.
Local creatures needed long-term devotion to their race to harness collective will to activate the stone and fulfill the wish.
How could dragons concentrate their power, and each alone lacked strength to activate it, so for them, these stones were treasures yet unusable.
Except for being pretty, they had no use.
At this, there was a sudden quiet between the two dragons.
The ancient voice then said, "Having lost your body, are you so dulled that even thinking is difficult?"
"Shut up, I just need a little ti to adjust!" Bugreit retorted, as if caught off guard, jumping up in anger.
He himself noticed this.
Thousands of years of soul slumber, coupled with having only a soul without a body.
His cognitive powers, everything was significantly affected.
Making him very uncomfortable, especially in thinking.
Clearly realizing problems or clearly wanting to think of sothing, yet not having the ability, this shook his soul.
If he weren’t a Radiant Dragon and well-versed in soul research, he might have beco a ghost or simply died due to this unbearable state.
"The human beside you used the Stone of Creation, didn’t they? And not just one."
Bugreit nodded.
He had witnessed it himself.
"Alas, does having only a soul have such a large side effect?" the ancient voice mumbled.
"Didn’t you notice those were fragnts?"
"Fragnts..."
Bugreit froze, knowing he had discovered the issue, and now it was pointed out openly.
But what of it, he couldn’t think deeply.
Watching this scene, Kana slightly frowned.
He had been delving deep into soul composition and related matters during this ti but hadn’t yet gone deep enough.
At this thought, he waved his hand, and an alchemical dragon body erged from his space.
Bugreit instantly entered the body.
His thoughts suddenly beca active, as if a switch was flipped.
"Yes, why did those stones beco fragnts?"
This suddenly puzzled Alyris and the others.
Listening to this, the Stone of Creation wasn’t originally fragnted, at least in Bugreit’s ti, they were whole.
"Within less than a millennium of your death, these stones beca fragnts, giving us the opportunity to use them."
