Unlike the Endless Sea of today, where even the strongest nonhuman creatures were merely S-rank Abyssal Sea Entities, the Ancient World had been home to supercreatures born with Authority Bodies.
They were creatures at the level of innate authority holders.
Dragons were the most representative among them.
But all these supercreatures had perished along with the Ancient World, leaving only a few relics to prove they had once existed.
The Dragon's Blood and Dragon Blood Jade Lin Yuan had obtained before were examples of these.
Strangely, although related items remained, and many ancient texts recorded the deeds of these supercreatures, proving their existence beyond doubt, their remains had never been discovered on the Endless Sea.
After all, Authority Bodies were virtually eternal and imperishable. Unless destroyed by other Authority Holders, they would always remain.
Yet in all the years humans had explored the Endless Sea, they had never discovered a single supercreature's corpse.
It was as though, when the Ancient World became the present world, these supercreatures had not died but simply vanished into thin air.
This was also a mystery many people on the Endless Sea loved to discuss.
Now, at last, Lin Yuan had discovered the corpse of a true dragon.
"No wonder it's called Panlong Mountain. There really is a dragon here."
Looking at the enormous corpse before him, as large as a small mountain, Lin Yuan marveled inwardly:
And it's a Gold Dragon, one of the noblest of the Dragon Clan.
By now, he had a fairly good understanding of the Ancient World and knew a great deal about the Dragon Clan.
In his view, the Dragon Clan was actually somewhat similar to the great organizations of today.
There was only one true Authority Holder: the Dragon Ancestor. All other dragons were Deputy Authority Holders invested
