Greed Wins Again.

The people of the plane feared and worshiped the dragon. But he didn't use them to become a god. This is because he would lose his dragon heart and the dragon force that comes with it when his Origin freezes. Then he will have to rely on weak mortals for power.

His pride will never allow that. Even at the point of death, he would rather die just like his mother than save his life by becoming a god. Legion-8 knew that even if he was willing to do so, the dragon spirit would never allow it so that he won't break free from his shackles. 

Things continued peacefully like this for many Origin cycles. The dragon grew stronger even though there was no Origin energy in the plane. His connection to the dragon spirit provided him with as much Origin energy as he wanted.

He could even grant other beings access to the Origin energy if he wanted to. This made him become royalty in the plane because every transcendent wanted to serve him to gain Origin energy.
