The Leyline Core That Birthed the Elder Dragon... Was Also a Kind of Dragon Egg Nest!

If they did not count the subsequent additional quest crossover or the Iceborne DLC, this quest called Land of Convergence was actually the final quest of the base Monster Hunter World.

Others did not know what lay within the leyline core, but Marshal Cheng(?) knew all too well.

Beneath the Elder Dragon's Land, in a region deep within the leylines, there was an infant King of Elder Dragons that was devouring all leyline energy with all its might. Its name was—

Elder Dragon.

This being stood at the pinnacle of ascension on the New Continent, sustained by absorbing the death energy of every Elder Dragon within the leylines. Its very existence drew Elder Dragons from all across the world into the collective phenomenon known as the Elder Dragon Crossing. In a sense, it was the true culprit behind the Dungeon Modifier [Elder Dragon Calamity].

It could be said that only by dealing with the Elder Dragon could they truly resolve the crisis of the Elder Dragon Calamity.

If it did not die, then no matter how many Elder Dragons whose rampaging power had disrupted the ecosystem Cheng Tian and the other Outsiders and hunters dealt with, more Elder Dragons from other regions would continue rushing toward the New Continent.

However, the situation now had some subtle differences.

The Land of Convergence, where the Elder Dragon resided, was most likely also the source of the Soul Sacrifice rules appearing on the New Continent.

Based on Cheng Tian's dungeon experience in Dino Crisis + MapleStory, something similar to an Aether Light Crystal—or perhaps another fragment of dungeon essence outright—had likely broken through the spatial barrier and fallen into the heart of the leylines, perhaps even into
