A golden pillar of light condensed from thousands of streams of dragon power suddenly blasted from the stern of the Giant Dragon, propelling the pitch-black iron shuttle forward.
It went faster and faster, like a star pushed onward by the bodies of dragons, racing toward the sky, toward the sea of stars, toward the Heaven Ascension Path.
The sky was covered by the shadows of the Dragon Race, while the earth trembled faintly beneath their Dragon Might.
They flew over the Divine Wood Forest, over the trial grounds, over the stretch of starry sky that was being linked by the Rainbow Bridge.
Feng Xi stood at the summit of the Parasol Immortal Realm, looking up at the retreating Dragon Shadow. A complicated gleam flashed through her seven-colored phoenix eyes.
"The Dragon Race... has finally set out. They have no magnificent warships, but they have a 'shell'—a shell driven by their own dragon power, carrying their future."
Feng Yu stood beside her, a trace of emotion in her voice. "Your Majesty, what about our Phoenix Clan? The Phoenix God and the Empress Phoenix God are still in Nirvana... Don't we need to go look for them?"
Feng Xi fell silent for a moment before speaking slowly. "One day, we will set out as well—but not now."
"The Phoenix God and the Empress Phoenix God are in Nirvana. Even if we went, we would not be able to find them."
"When the Phoenix Clan grows stronger, when we are powerful enough to face those great factions of the Main Star Domain, then we will seek out our roots."
Her gaze settled on the distant Dragon Shadow. "Let the Dragon Race scout the way first. Once they bring back news, we will decide what to do next."
