1 The Awakening of the Dragon

As the curled up dragon fell, a glowing white and golden ball of light descended from above. It entered the chest cavity left by the Cosmos Core, filling it up once again. When it entered it started pulsing, sending white veins of light throughout the dragon's body. Suddenly a blinding white and gold light burst out, sending ripples into the surroundings. The light completely engulfed the dragon, turning into white and golden flames as it continuously sent light outwards. The dragon now looked like a flaming white meteor falling down. It soon passed the layer of golden clouds underneath the island, revealing an enormous world. It had oceans, mountains, forests, deserts, hills, plains and lakes. There were animals, monsters, titans, giants, primitive humans and rarely, phoenixes and dragons. Gu Long's unconscious body burst into the worlds atmosphere, going so fast that it left a long trail of white and golden flames behind it. The world's beings all looked up towards the meteor as they felt an enormous pressure and power wash over them. They howled, roared, screeched, barked and shouted at the meteor. The meteor crashed into the world, releasing a wave of Cosmos Essence[1], Life Essence and a dense surge of qi that covered the entire world. New life was born, many different creatures and new species appeared, trees and plants grew rapidly, which then released even more seeds. The crash caused an 8,000 hectare big and 800 kilometer deep crater, pushing up the surrounding rock and soil to form mountains that encircled the crater. In the crater many plants, grass and trees grew an bloomed, but the center of the crater, about 8 hectares big, had nothing in it except a glowing dragon curled up in a circle. All the beings of the world started traveling to the crater. After several years, they stood on the edge of the crater looking down at the dragon. A bloody war ensued. All beings knew that this place would bring them great power. The earth was torn, blood flowed in rivers, corpses piled into mountains comparable to the size of the mountain on the floating island. Although humans had the advantage of numbers, the beasts had the advantage of body. The beasts had naturally stronger and more resilient bodies than humans. The war went on for centuries and the battling groups turned from millions into two. The humans battled against the animals and monsters. Centuries passed, no side won. They were in a stalemate. As the war went on, dust and dirt piled onto the dragon. It grew and grew, soon it turned into an enormous mountain. Rain eroded the mountain trying to uncover the dragon underneath, but more rock and dust replaced it. When the humans and the beasts came to their senses the mountain at the center of the crater had become the tallest and biggest mountain in the world. The humans animals divided the crater. The mountains and grass plains were for the humans, the forests were for the beast. The Dragon Mountain, as they called it, was neutral ground. Soon, humans became more intelligent and their civilization expanded and the animals receded. humans began to cut down forest and build more cities, not only in the Core but on the Outside as well. The Core was the crater while the Outside was what was beyond the crater. On the Dragon Mountain the humans built their capital and many important sects and temples were built there. Human life revolved around the Core. Before long, humans found that they could cultivate something called Qi[2], and become more powerful. Some humans became so powerful that they never aged and became what was known as Immortals. Before long, the Core housed the most powerful force int he world- the Heavenly Dragon Sect. All this time the dragon slept. It was slowly dissolving the poison and healing.

*KRRRRRAAAAAAAAAKKKKKK*

*BRRRRVVOOOOOOMMMMMM*

The ground cracked and trembled. An power so big materialized that it sent out ripples in time and space itself. The entire world shook, cities collapsed and mountains crumpled. Humans and animals fled alike.

Lantern sized eyes that had golden glow snapped open as a mysterious sound filled the area. The sound of breathing.

The dragon had awakened.
