Prime Originator

No ordinary human should have a dragon aura, let alone a dragon aura that was powerful to this extent.

Goldmane was so intimidated by Leon’s aura that he did not dare to utter a single sound, not even offer an apology. He just wanted to pretend he was dust so that Leon would not spare him a second look.

Little did the golden suannis know that Leon’s actual strength was not as powerful as his dragon aura made him out to be.

Nevertheless, it was extremely useful in scaring off his opponents.

After Leon’s group left the territory, a Peak Rank 2 Transcendent-level Golden Suanni growled at Goldmane.

(Are we just going to let them leave like that, father?)

(Otherwise, what do you suggest your father should do? Do you want your father to continue offending a Peak Paragon and get himself killed?)

Goldmane growled back at his son.

Shortly after, Goldmane glanced back in the direction Leon and Cindertail’s group left with a thoughtful look.

’Cindertail was only a Peak Rank 2 Transcendent a few days ago. Yet he became a Paragon and solidified his aura in such a short time. And he calls that Peak Paragon, his master. Cindertail’s transformation must be related to that Peak Paragon!’

Goldmane silently concluded.

(Go back to the lair and call everyone over. Tell your mothers to bring all your younger brothers and sisters. Our entire pride is moving.)

(Where are we moving, father?)

The Peak Rank 2 Transcendent-level Golden Suanni was surprised by Goldmane’s instruction.

(We’re moving to the clan’s main territory. Something tells your father that something big is about to happen in the main clan. We wouldn’t want to miss it.)

Goldmane said.

…

Meanwhile, Leon continued to venture westward, passing through several more territories in the vast jungle with his group within a day.

They encountered more golden suannis during that period.

But unlike their encounter with Goldmane, they were less oppressive and more curious about Cindertail’s reason for passing through their territories with his entire family.

Of course, the main reason why the golden suanni lords weren’t oppressive like Goldmane was that they weren’t Paragons.

Naturally, they didn’t have the inflated ego and pride of one.

(Where are you heading that requires you to bring your family with you, Lord Cindertail? Why have the other lords also joined you with their families? What’s going on here, Milords?)

A High Rank 2 Transcendent-level Golden Suanni inquired politely when it spoke to Cindertail while casting its curious gaze at Leon’s group, which had inflated by fivefold during the span of their journey.

Nevertheless, Cindertail didn’t answer the High Rank 2 Transcendent-level Golden Suanni’s questions.

Instead, Cindertail turned his head to Leon and said, “This one’s attitude is pretty good. I think we should take him in, Master.”

”Alright,” Leon casually approved with a nod.

After receiving his master’s permission, Cindertail immediately shifted his attention back to the High Rank 2 Transcendent-level Golden Suanni.

(You’re in luck, Firepaw. Your humble attitude has landed you a spot within our ranks. We are guiding our master to the main clan. Pick up your family and follow us. If you are lucky, my master might grant you an opportunity to become someone like me.)

As Cindertail spoke to the High Rank 2 Transcendent-level Golden Suanni, he slightly revealed his Paragon-level aura.

Firepaw was immediately astonished by Cindertail’s reveal of strength.

At the same time, Firepaw cast a short glance at Leon with silent doubt, neither questioning nor criticizing Cindertail’s choice in taking a human as his master.

Firepaw wasn’t in a position to criticize a Paragon’s decisions.

(Alright. I will do as you say, Lord Cindertail.)

(Hold on.)

(Is there something else you need, Lord Cindertail?)

Firepaw politely inquired after Cindertail suddenly stopped him.

”Master, we’ve been traveling for a full day. Should we take a small break at Firepaw’s lair before continuing our journey?” Cindertail suggested.

Leon contemplated for a moment before he nodded, “Alright.”

Cindertail and Rainshine immediately felt excited.

There was only one meaning behind a break; they get to enjoy their master’s cooking.

When Cindertail informed the rest of the golden suannis in the group, they also started looking forward to it.

Cindertail had raised their anticipation.

(We will take a break at your lair. You won’t mind accommodating us, will you? Firepaw?)

(Of course not, Lord Cindertail. It’s Firepaw’s honor to be your host.)

Sometime later, Firepaw led Leon’s large group out of the thick jungle and arrived at his lair in the center of similar grassland with a stone mountain.

Apart from the stone mountain’s formation being different from the one at Cindertail’s lair, everything else was almost the same.

Nevertheless, after they arrived at the stone mountain, Cindertail and Rainshine quickly volunteered to hunt for beast meat while Leon set up several dozen spitfires to accommodate all the beast meat they would bring back.

Only the cubs were left behind with Firepaw at the lair as Cindertail and Rainshine grabbed all the adults with them when they left.

Shortly after Leon finished setting up his spitfires, he shifted his alchemy-focused divine consciousness to comprehending the Wood Law.

The richness of wood energy in the region had grown to the point that Leon could no longer wait till he reached the densest part of the western jungle to start comprehending the Wood Law.

  He had decided to get a head start on the Wood Law.

While the other two divine consciousnesses were focused on comprehending runes and the Destruction Law from the Wrath Law comprehension fragments, Leon used his main consciousness to recall his journey through the jungle.

The numerous sceneries of the thick jungle, grassland, and stone mountains flashed across his mind one by one.

And when Leon pieced all the lands together to form a bird’s eye view of the overall jungle that he had explored thus far, doubt immediately festered in his heart.

’This… unnatural yet seemingly natural western jungle almost seems like one incomparably enormous formation…!’

Leon’s gradually widened with shock.
