【Beginning】
After the situation with Nezha, the Dragon King found that the mystical power of mortals have enhanced greatly. To seek the reason behind this, the Dragon King would often take on a human form to walk upon the earth and personally see the wellbeing of the people. What he had seen and heard abounds: from calamities caused by Xian or elves to wars between various states — he sighed at the chaos that had been born in the world.
The Dragon King ruled the dragons of the sea. In his absence, the dragons lack leadership... Hence, often, he can only send his subordinates to investigate on his behalf. Through contact with the Ocean Troopers’ pneuma, the Dragon King could see their experiences on land. The news they brought back was of incessant war and constant death.
The Dragon King grew annoyed with all this, and in his heart, he could not help but consider giving up. He continued to send his men to investigate, but no longer sought news of what happened on land with the same fervor.
Armored Soldiers: Your Majesty. We have returned with news. We have discovered...
Ao Guang the Lord of Dragons: Yes...Just wait on the side!
Ao Guang the Lord of Dragons: I need to take care of these affairs in front of me first...
The Dragon King stole a cold glance at them before continuing his own work. The Ocean Troopers looked at one another, having been shocked by the coldness of the Dragon King. While the Dragon King’s orders were everything to Ocean Troopers, this expedition had proven very informative. They wanted to report to the Dragon King as soon as possible.
Armored Soldiers: Your Majesty! I understand that we should not disturb Your Majesty’s work,
Armored Soldiers: but we really have urgent matters to report.
It was not until he heard that did the Dragon King cease his work on hand and looked upon the Ocean Troopers. The innocence in their eyes showed the Dragon King that they were not lying. He signaled at them to approach, and laid his hand onto their heads, who closed their eyes. Communicating through pneuma, the Dragon King was shocked by what his Ocean Troopers had seen.
【Before Battles】
Ocean Troopers: The broken tower...seems to radiate with a familiar sensation.
Armored Soldiers: What kind of power is contained within the tower?
【Enemy Dialog】
Ocean Troopers: Why are there more demonic creatures the closer we get to the broken tower?
Armored Soldiers: We cannot give up! We must complete the mission assigned by His Majesty!
【After Battles】
Armored Soldiers: ‘How could this broken tower...’
Armored Soldiers: ‘be imbued with the power of the elements...?’
Armored Soldiers: ‘How did mortals accomplish this?’
Armored Soldiers: We should return to give a report!
【End】
The Dragon King unhurriedly re-opened his hands; his expression was one of astonishment and joy.
Ao Guang the Lord of Dragons: ‘This tower will be the salvation of the world and mortals.’
The Dragon King waved his hand in command, sending the Ocean Troopers to gather more information on the broken tower.
Ao Guang the Lord of Dragons: I want to know everything about the tower...
Ao Guang the Lord of Dragons: You! Go and collect information!
Armored Soldiers: Your wish is our command, Your Majesty!
The Dragon King sent increasing numbers of his warriors to investigate the broken tower. He had considered stepping upon the earth to witness the tower for himself. Unfortunately, he never did leave his palace for the visit as to avoid unbalancing the world order. To investigate whether the broken tower truly contains elemental power, the Dragon King decided to send his men to assist mortals ascend the tower, and investigate the ongoings.
