"… What?" the Lion asked, unsure if he heard Alex right.

"The Azure Dragon is not in his realm," Alex repeated. "He's actually dead already."

"That's… that's not possible," the Lion said. "Its the Azure Dragon. Why would he be dead? How could he even die?"

"I don't know why," Alex said. "But… it happened around the same time Pearl's mother died, and the same time senior Guyong seemed to have died. That also somehow happens to be at the same time as when the entire Beast Paradise closed itself."

"I'm sure you remember the 3 lightning strikes from around the same time as well before your Uncle died," Alex said. 

"As long as you can confirm that the lightning strikes didn't happen here but around where the Azure Dragon lived, then I'm sure that lightning strike must have been a Heavenly Judgment lightning that killed the Azure Dragon."
