Chapter 1477 Foundation Of Supremacy.
This last objective is the most important objective to accomplish before any dragonling can go for the naming ceremony that is held every 100 years. Any dragon without a dragon domain will not even be able to survive the naming ceremony, much less struggle against the other dragonlings. And if they want to stand a chance at receiving the help of the dragon spirit, then their skill in manipulating dragon force must be superior to others.
Every dragonling is a mana entity, so there is no clear disparity in strength. But the manipulation of dragon force which is the foundation of supremacy will create a large disparity between them. This particular factor is what the first, and third are counting on.
The acquisition of skill is their hope to overtake Fourth\'s talent and defeat him. As long as they work hard on their control of the dragon force, they will have a good chance of defeating him.
Training continued for many years until it became a hundred years after they were hatched.
Mother asked them. "Which one of you wants to go for the naming ceremony now?"
First answered. "Not me."
Both Second and Third also rejected the chance to test themselves now. They want to wait another hundred years. They will hone themselves during that time and increase their confidence in success.
Only fourth was confident enough to test himself. He said to Mother. "I am ready."
Mother asked him. "Are you sure?"
"Yes. I feel like I have reached my peak. I can still improve, but it will be slower. Any delay will just let others catch up to me."
Mother agreed. "Alright. We will leave tomorrow. I will call your father and see if he will come."
They were all surprised. Even the second, who is usually silent, couldn\'t help but ask. "Father is coming?"
"I am not certain. It is tradition for the fathers to be present when their first offspring are attending the naming ceremony. However, you lot are not his first offspring, and he is very busy, so he might not come."
Second spoke. "I would like to see Father. He is very strong."
They have never seen their father, but they know he is very strong. This is from the memories they have of him and the difficulty of his ancestral trial. In the trail that he gave them, he wanted them to destroy the resistance of a plane.
In the trial, they had the power of a transcendent, but their father wanted them to invade and subjugate a plane with hundreds of transcendent defenders.
It seems unfairly difficult, but it is something that their father has done and succeeded in. The trial was a replay of their father\'s exploits. Their father once invaded and subjugated a plane, and he did the bulk of it in less than an hour because he sat at the planar gate and waited for the defenders to amass so that he could take all of them down at once.
Unfortunately, they couldn\'t replicate his success. They were defeated in the trial and lost his bestowal. They would like to meet such a powerful dragon, even if he were not their parent. It is something that a normal dragonling would want, so Second\'s request was not out of place.
Mother placated them. "Yes, he is strong. But is also very busy, so don\'t have high hopes."
The dragonlings were disappointed, but it wasn\'t because they wouldn\'t meet their father. They don\'t care that he is their father. They only care about the kind of power that he represents and meeting such a powerful entity.
He is very powerful, so he represents a powerful obstacle to overcome. Being their father is just a coincidence. He was at the right place at the right time to be their father. But he is very strong because of his dedicated efforts. It is clear to them which identity they should admire. That admiration is also accompanied with the wish to defeat him.
Dragons grow stronger with age, so it is expected that their father is stronger than them. Their father is also stronger than other dragons in their memories, so defeating him will not be easy.
Dragons believe that the only entities worthy of being their rivals are other dragons. The first rivals that dragons encounter are their siblings. Then their agemates. After their age mates are the older generations, like their parents.
They have to overcome every one of them. In this way, they will be able to grow strong enough to become like their dragon ancestor. It is why dragons keep trying to usurp Mother High Heaven. They are trying to replicate what their ancestor achieved.
The dragonlings continued to train even when the sun finally set. The sun didn\'t come early, so the night was prolonged. That didn\'t mean much to them because they trained all through the night and were still busy when the sun came up.
Mother didn\'t leave yet because the dragon spirit hadn\'t called for the naming ceremony yet. She was waiting for its call before she would take fourth to the naming ceremony.
Another sun rose while they were waiting. This makes up two suns in the sky. It increased the amount of heat they had to bear. There wasn\'t much of a change apart from that.
Second looked warily at the second and last sun that appeared in the sky. He muttered. "That is weird. I thought I felt something."
