"Little one, what are you looking at?"
With just a few words, Levi was jolted awake as if electrified.
He looked towards the Small Stone Pond, his pupils constricting, as a dreamlike river wound and flowed before him, with a solitary island standing tall amidst the waves.
On the island stood a castle, exactly like the one he had just seen during the birth of the simulated universe, and the gates of the castle were slowly opening.
A gracefully built, semi-transparent giant dragon with shimring bubble-like gloss stepped forward, landing in the void, its wings folded.
Levi had never seen such a creature, but he knew it was the legendary Ti Dragon!
The foremost of the Five Legendary Dragon Species.
The most mysterious among the Dragon Clan and beings in this world.
It’s said to have the power to control ti.
And now it appeared before Levi.
All because Levi glanced at that castle.
It was rely an illusory manifestation of his Chaos Holy Soul.
An image from the past.
"Greetings, Dragon Senior," Levi said solemnly.
"No need to call Senior, that’s a term used in your civilized society;
I’m not senior enough for you, just call the Ti Dragon or, if you must speak respectfully, ’sir’. Common courtesies an nothing to ."
"Understood, was I presumptuous to peek and disturb you?"
"It’s not a disturbance, I just sensed your gaze. Since ancient tis, those who can see my existence are very few."
The Ti Dragon’s voice, like its eyes, was deep and magnetic, reminding Levi of the black actor Morgan Freeman who frequently played God in his previous life.
"I didn’t an to stare at you."
"I know."
"To be honest, if I hadn’t heard about you from a friend, I would’ve thought the Ti Dragon was rely an abstract concept and not real."
"You’re referring to the Little Ash Dragon?"
"Yes."
"I did chat with it about so things. But you’re not wrong;
in a sense, I do not exist. I am an abstract concept."
"Then why did I see you?"
"Because I wanted to manifest before you;
otherwise, you wouldn’t see . But due to the uniqueness of your Chaos Soul, you unintentionally glimpsed the mysteries of cosmic evolution. When you looked at the Ti Castle, I noticed."
"I see, may I ask, are you an incarnation of the River of Ti, Senior?"
Since they encountered each other and the other showed no hostility, Levi’s curiosity pushed him to ask.
"I am not. The River of Ti does not need an incarnation. It’s omnipresent, a part of the universe, the universe itself;
it has no will, suprely impartial... You saw the ring representing ti. When it exploded, it gained another form of continuation, true eternal life."
"What is this Ti Castle then?"
"It’s the only tangible trace it left in the universe."
"Beings from the Multidinsional Plane, including us wizards, often rank you, Senior, first among the Five Legendary Dragon Species. Are you part of the Dragon Clan?"
The Ti Dragon nodded.
It coiled and lay down, seeming to have much to say.
After a mont of thought, it began to speak:
"Yes, the Ti Dragon is part of the Dragon Clan. Within a space-ti node, there can only be one Ti Dragon, just like the Void Dragon.
The other three Legendary Dragon Species are the sa.
They’re conceptually materialized dragon clans with absolute uniqueness, with a new legendary dragon species appearing only if one falls.
I was born in the Ancient Era, naturally wielding part of the power of ti, growing stronger as I matured. Until one day, I saw the River of Ti and could travel within it.
I went to the past, went to the future, rging all the Ti Dragons across the tiline within myself, breaking the mythic shackles, and ascending to the supre position.
Since then, I have been the only Ti Dragon of past and future.
Do you know? Whether it’s the Star Ancestor or the Abyss, the existing supre existences can’t do anything to . Though they’ve tried countless tis to eliminate , I evaded them easily.
But I can’t do anything to them either.
Since ascending to the supre status, though I can easily traverse space-ti, seeing everything in the past and future, yet I can do nothing.
It’s as if I’m a creature trapped between two glass walls.
I’m terribly bored;
you can’t imagine how bored I am.
A life where nothing can be changed—what’s the aning of living?
Unfortunately, I can’t even commit suicide.
Because I am the eternally unique Ti Dragon.
Until one day.
I found this castle at the bottom of the River of Ti.
Inside the castle were a blank book and a quill.
This was an empty "Age History Book."
I finally understood my purpose. .
It’s to observe, to record everything along the River of Ti, to preserve it objectively. I traced upwards along the river from the Primordial Era.
Darkness, Abyss, Underworld, Nightmare, the astral world... These major events that profoundly influence future patterns, including the tilines of those primordial existences’ remains—where do they fall? I know them all, would you like to know?"
Levi heard this and shook his head in silence.
"I want to, but I know it’s sothing I shouldn’t know, or rather, sothing I should seek myself;
otherwise, there will be consequences I can’t bear."
The Ti Dragon laughed:
"You’re very clever, I once asked Sauron a similar question, and his answer was much like yours. Are you curious about your own future? Do you want to know if Nora succeeded?"
