Chapter 8: Unknown Entity: Dragon

Unknown Entity: Dragon

The multiverse is like a great wheel, with individual realms embedded upon it, while the Outlands lie on its reverse side, and the City of Imprints rests at its center.

Beyond the Outlands, in some distant unknown place.

There exists a colossal being—no, calling it a being is not quite accurate.

It is Nature; it is Rule; it is the Dao.

Long ago, the fallen Wild Gods once organized a flight spanning the multiverse.

They walked through nothingness, unaware of how many years had passed.

Finally, they saw a sliver of surplus color.

It was a universe—a new multiverse.

A multiverse manifest upon a living being.

Each scale was a realm; each pattern, the trajectory of all sentient life.

The moment the Wild Gods saw this multiverse, a concept arose in their minds—Dragon!

Even those Wild Gods who had never heard of this concept, or had heard of it before, now had it utterly renewed.

The Dragon is this multiverse!

No—the multiverse is this Dragon!

Its greatness, its supremacy, were inscribed within the primordial void.

Perhaps only the legendary God-of-Gods AO, and the Mistress of Pain, master of the City of Imprints, could rival it.

As for which was greater, which was supreme—

The puny Wild Gods could not tell, just as ants cannot discern the strength of humans.

The long-fleeing Wild Gods, overcome with exhaustion, decided to settle here.

But their settlement would not be simple; regarded as celestial demons, they would face challenges from the Immortals.
