"I am Yuan, and I traveled half the world just to come to the Divine Dragon Sanctuary." Yuan introduced himself.
The blue-haired man swallowed nervously. He could tell just from Yuan's scent alone that he was in the presence of a true dragon with a powerful bloodline.
"I cannot imagine the effort and time it took you to come here, but I would like to welcome you on behalf of the Divine Dragon Council." The man said.
"It wasn't too bad." Yuan smiled. "Anyway, I came here because—"
Before Yuan could finish his sentence, the man interrupted, "The Dragon God Festival, correct?" "The what?" Yuan raised an eyebrow after hearing this unfamiliar name.
"The Dragon God Festival," he repeated before asking, "You didn't come here for the festival? Pretty much every single visitor these days are here for the festival." ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
"Sorry, but I came here to visit the Divine Dragon Sanctuary because of its widespread fame," Yuan shook his head.
"Please, there's no need for you to apologize. I should be the one apologizing for making such assumptions in the first place. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me."
"In that case, can you tell me more about this Dragon God Festival?"
The man nodded.
"The Dragon God Festival is a tradition in the Divine Dragon Sanctuary that happens only once every twenty-five million years. During the festival, the participants compete against each other for the title of Dragon God Successor. Naturally, since this is related to the dragon race, only dragons are allowed to participate. However, there's some leniency. Even those with inferior or incomplete dragon blood are permitted to join."
"Every 25 million years…?" Yuan wore a dumbfounded expression on his face after hearing this information.
He then asked, "What kind of competitions occur during the festival?"
"I'm sorry, but I don't know," the blue-haired man replied, shaking his head. "The trials are decided by the Dragon God, and they change with every festival. We only learn the details of the trials when the festival is about to begin." "When does the festival begin?"
"Exactly two years from now, so very soon."
"..." Yuan was speechless.
'Since the festival takes place every 25 million years, I guess two years is nothing in their eyes…' he sighed inwardly.
"Is there anything to be gained from this festival?" Yuan asked a moment later.
"Of course! Not only will you become the Dragon God's Successor if you win the festival, but the Dragon God will even grant you any one wish!" The man replied, his voice filled with excitement.
"Any wish…?" Yuan repeated as he mused to himself.
The man nodded, "That's right. The Dragon God is one of the most powerful beings in the Primal Expanse. He can fulfill almost any wish."
'I must be fated to participate in this festival…' Yuan sighed inwardly.
If he won the festival, he could wish for the Sacred Chalice of Purification.
"Can I participate in the festival?" he asked a moment later.
