Global Dungeon: I Can See the Status Bar

The voice of the Dragon God exploded like thunder in Lu Wenwu’s ears.

The sudden increase in tone and pitch made him feel a buzzing sensation all over, a bit dizzy.

Don’t ascend to divinity?

Don’t transform into an Ancient Dragon?

Why?

Lu Wenwu was completely baffled.

In this era where all divine spirits have ”disappeared,” if the Dragon Race could give rise to an Ancient Dragon again, wouldn’t they sweep the world and return to their position as world dominators?

Lu Wenwu called out to the Dragon God again in his heart.

But His voice never sounded again, and even the vague will was slowly dissipating.

A seven-colored halo lit up, overshadowing the divine statue of the Dragon God.

The feeling of solemn oppression gradually faded away, restoring the place to an ordinary appearance.

Seeing Isidro with a face full of devotion and admiration, Lu Wenwu swallowed the experience he just had back into his stomach.

What they experienced just now was absolutely different!

Absolutely!

Coming back to his senses, Isidro glanced at Lu Wenwu, and his previously lazy eyes suddenly widened with excitement, almost making him jump for joy!

He forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart, waiting until he exited the cave before giving a joyful low shout.

”Xiaowu, you’ve received the Dragon God’s recognition!”

”Dragon God’s recognition? What on earth is that?” Lu Wenwu was baffled.

”Look behind you!”

Isidro released a water mirror, and Lu Wenwu’s upper body was immediately reflected in it.

Behind his upper body, a dimly lit, seven-colored halo similar to the Dragon God’s was slowly rotating, releasing a gentle glow.

What?

What is this?

Lu Wenwu was utterly confused.

Such a big halo, can it be retracted? Otherwise, it would be too dazzling when sleeping at night.

Just then, the seven-colored halo seemed to sense Lu Wenwu’s awareness and slowly sank into his body, no longer showing.

He tried calling it out again, and a few seconds later, the halo reunited.

Turns out it’s a switchable effect!

That’s pretty good!

”This is a recognition personally bestowed by the Dragon God; looking across the history of the Dragon Race, very few dragons have received such recognition. Aside from those who perished prematurely, almost every recognized individual has become a Dragon Emperor!” Isidro said excitedly, ”Look, you’ve already intuitively mastered the way to toggle the Dragon God’s mark! You truly are a genius! The Heavenly Son of our Dragon Race!”

”Dragon Emperor?” Lu Wenwu caught on to a key point, ”Wait a second, Uncle Isidro, what is the Dragon Emperor? Isn’t it the King of Dragons?”

Isidro explained with longing, ”Completely different! The King of Dragons is merely a ruler chosen by the Elder Council, representing the Dragon Race in name, and can only gain the support of a part of the Dragon Race.”

”But the Dragon Emperor is entirely different! The Dragon Emperor truly must gain the wholehearted acknowledgment of all dragons, at least of all Ancient Dragons, before officially succeeding to the Dragon Emperor’s position.”

”It can be said that the King of Dragons is just a placeholder chosen when there is no Dragon Emperor, a substitute. The Dragon Emperor is the true ruler of the Giant Dragon Race, embodying the powers of both the King of Dragons and the Dragon Race Elder Council!”

”I see.” Lu Wenwu nodded slightly, ”So how does one become a Dragon Emperor?”

”Fight!”

Isidro firmly uttered one word.

”The Dragon Race esteems bloodline and power; power is most crucial. As long as you can defeat all dragons of the race, you will be the legitimate Dragon Emperor! Since the demise of the previous Dragon Emperor, it has been a full three thousand seven hundred years without a new Dragon Emperor arising.”

”It doesn’t seem too difficult.” Lu Wenwu confessed.

Not to brag.

If he faces a Godslayer, he might need to fight hard against the opponent.

But facing these Ancient Dragons only equivalent to Pseudo-Ascended, Lu Wenwu truly felt no fear.

What’s more, with his identity as the Heavenly Son in this world, he can summon the Elemental Will to aid him in battle.

Melee invincible War Tank paired with maximum output of Ancient Magic in magic and martial dual cultivation, how could a Flying Dragon Superman lose!

Even Isidro nodded in recognition: ”Indeed, you are not only part of the Dragon Race but also possess the Heavenly Son talent previously only born to humans; it truly is logical for you to become the Dragon Emperor in the future.”

While the two were talking, several massive figures roamed over, stopping before them.

There were three massive dragons; their wings spread wide, almost occupying half the diameter of the passage in the dragon’s lair.

”Hey, Little Moon, you’ve finally decided to return.”

Central, the largest and oldest Red Dragon spoke, its voice sounding very kind.

”Grandfather Felix, don’t call me by that name!” Isidro’s expression visibly crumbled and fumed, ”Leave me some face in front of the little nephew!”

”Haha... How about you dissolve that human knight’s contract, then I’ll stop calling you by that name, okay?” Old Red Dragon Felix said with a laugh.

Isidro seemed a bit flustered: ”Well... let’s talk about it later...”

Old Red Dragon shook his head, looking towards Lu Wenwu, who was watching the scene with amusement; with great interest, he asked: ”Little Moon, you haven’t introduced this little fellow who has stirred up the Dragon God’s will, is he possibly a child you sired outside? That’s rare indeed, given his young age he already has the skill to transform.”

”I don’t possess such great skills.”

Isidro quickly shook his head and introduced Lu Wenwu.

”Xiaowu, this is Elder Felix, the wisest and oldest living elder of the Dragon Race. This is Elder Black Dragon Blake, and Elder Green Dragon Green.”

”Greetings to the three elders.”

Lu Wenwu didn’t know the Dragon Race’s etiquette, so he clasped his hands in a salute.

The three Ancient Dragons nodded slightly, indicating a return salute.

Isidro continued: ”Grandfather Felix, you may not know, Xiaowu is unfortunate indeed. When I discovered him, he was during a Combat Magic class at the Magicka Magic Academy, and then he...”

Soon, in a few words, he recounted Lu Wenwu’s ”background.”

Old Red Dragon cried upon hearing it, looking at Lu Wenwu with increasingly compassionate eyes.

The two other younger Giant Dragon elders may not have been as sentimental as Felix, but their gazes softened, unconsciously retracting their Dragon Power to avoid frightening Lu Wenwu.

Breaking the Magic Heart, wandering lonely in the human world, even using one’s own body materials for artifact refining!

For dragons, this background was tragically immense.

A powerful bloodline, a tragic background, and also gaining the recognition of the Dragon God, what an example of bearing grievances!

Old Red Dragon even transformed into human form, becoming a compassionate white-haired old man, wiping tears while holding Lu Wenwu’s hand, fearing he might run away.

”Child, stay at Dragon Island peacefully in the future; no one can bully you!” he said, leading Lu Wenwu outward, ”Come, Grandfather Felix will introduce you to some peers to play with.”

After one person and one dragon left, Black Dragon Elder Blake spoke: ”Those parents who disregard their responsibilities are truly negligent! Their rights in the Dragon Race should be revoked, and they should be herded in the pastures for three hundred... no, five hundred years! To set an example!”

Elder Green Dragon Green laughed coldly with a frosty gaze: ”Herd? They should be test subjects for my experiments! I’ve recently developed a new neurotoxic venom and need powerful magical beasts for testing!”

Silver Dragon Isidro: ”...”

I think you two might be a bit too extreme...

Blake glanced at him, casually asking: ”Did you return this time just to bring Xiaowu back to Dragon Island?”

”Uh... and to take the opportunity to use the transformation ground; I feel my accumulation is sufficient to attempt the transition of the Ancient Dragon Bloodline,” Isidro said cautiously, seemingly a bit afraid of the Black Dragon before him.

”Humph...”

Blake snorted coldly, tossing out a silver-white demon pattern.

”The Ten Thousand Dragons Conference is approaching, don’t die.”

”Once you transform the Ancient Dragon Bloodline, you won’t have an excuse to continue playing dead at Magicka.”
