"It's said that the Lichi Peak mountain has quite a connection with the Dragon Race."

Glina said:

"Lichi Peak is considered a Holy Land where mortals once worshipped the Dragon Church, seeking the path to shed their mortal form and transform into Giant Dragons. Alas, Haines was destroyed, the War Beyond the Abyss failed completely, otherwise, perhaps the Dragon civilization would have continued to develop, evolving the Dragon heritage into a pathway."

"Isn't it the Radiant Dragon indeed? Even if the Dragon Race is scattered like sand, still harboring thoughts of Dragon Nationalism—can't establish a civilization, so plan to open the Seventh Path instead?" Severston teased.

"It's the Eighth Path." Glina lifted her chin, glancing discontentedly at Severston: "You, an old relic from who knows where, lacking insight, haven't you? The Seventh Path already exists, namely the [Void]."

"A pathway without a Chief God does not deserve to be called a pathway." Severston smirked: "Besides, mortals shedding their physical form and directly transforming into dragons? That's an astonishing approach; even ascending to godhood involves gradual transformation of the human body, not something instant."

"That just shows your bewildering ignorance, pitiful old thing."

Glina closed her eyes and leisurely sang:

Too early to start moving, when chaos had not yet opened, he already existed.

Sharpen teeth and claws, lightly trembling wings, biting and eroding the moon.

Mighty and ancient lord of creatures,

whose glow radiates like gemstones.

Jade is truly precious, silver is even more valuable,

For the sake of gold, both can be thrown away.

The earth's people emerge from the forest,

I wish to gently flap my wings and rise from the stone-forest of the old order,

Wield the crystal sword and establish a palace that sings your praises.

Majesty indeed! Majesty indeed!

Sky, strength, sun!

Old blood is discarded, new blood is easier.

I will transform into a dragon under your witness!

............

The ancient song ended, Glina opened her eyes and looked at the others:

"This is the hymn engraved deepest within my soul as a Radiant Dragon, I have always believed in the legend of mortals transforming into dragons; the Dragon Race has wandered in the whole Starry Abyss for too long, either reduced to tools for others to improve their bloodline, or turned into mercenaries and beasts."

"You should still recall, not long ago, the Golden Dragon Monk—Yachi Dukin Monson in the battle at the Eye of the Galaxy, right? Wasn't he also serving as a volunteer soldier to establish a friendly image of the Dragon Race? We have lived in this Starry Abyss for too long, have long become a part of the Starry Abyss."

"That Golden Dragon Monk," Leoz blinked: "You sent him over?"

"Naturally."

Glina looked at the opposite, amused:

"What's the matter? Did you think I was just a vase wandering around doing nothing?"

"Indeed." Leoz nodded.

"Very well, that means my disguise was successful."

Glina smiled slightly and said:

"Dragon Nationalism, the reconstruction of the Dragon civilization, the establishment of a secular state for Dragon Kind... may sound ridiculous to you; I, too, did not trust this notion, so I resolved to find a better way after reading many books."

"Through touring and playing across various national civilizations, I acquired a new idea—this approach can be said to defy traditional Dragon Race thoughts, one that could stir up a revolutionary reform across the world's Dragon Race."

"Precisely for this reason, I need your help—the young lady just told me that you so-called Descenders possess incredible resurrection abilities, given that, I believe you will become exceptionally strong allies."

"Since the Dragon Race cannot already establish a nation through a national regime, a faith dynasty, or even a mono-species civilization—why not shatter the concept of the Dragon Race completely?"

The others exchanged glances, impressed yet confused.

However, Leoz, Oshen, and Severston's faces changed greatly.

Severston bluntly said: "You want to bypass the stage of a nation directly, to create a Grand Narrative?"

Long Yuqiong also gasped: "That's simply unbelievable..."

"No, the narrative hasn't reached that step yet." Leoz squinted: "You intend to transform [Dragon Race] into a pathway. Turn the species into a new understanding of identity."

"If the Dragon Race cannot establish a nation, then utterly destroy the concept of 'Dragon Race'!"

"I intend to uncover the true Dragon Transformation Technique, promoting it to everyone. Like a pathway, allowing everyone to evolve step by step into a powerful Giant Dragon just as one ascends to godhood."

Glina said:

"Before the concept of Dragon Race, only a few higher noble Dragons were truly dragons."

"Once the concept of Dragon Race is destroyed, as long as you strive to climb, even an ordinary worker or farmer could have the qualification to transform into Giant Dragons."

Glina spoke fervently:

"Before myself, dragons without a leader, after myself, all are Dragon Kings!"

"Certainly, such reform is too radical; those old relics, demigods, and quasi-gods competing for godhood in the Mass Abyss will inevitably be unable to accept, so I'll constantly shuttle between Border Abyss and Layer Abyss."

"To me, only establishing the Eighth Path—[Phantom Dragon]—can truly change the ecological environment of the Starry Abyss Dragon Race."

"For this, we very much need cooperation; I need the power of you, the undead... You should, will help me, right?"

The group exchanged a glance.

'Can we trust her?' Severston directly opened the group chat voice, asking: 'Will this woman cause further fragmentation of the Starry Abyss if she truly creates the Eighth Path?'

'That's not something we should worry about, is it? Besides, it's just an extra pathway.' Caramel Snail was indifferent: 'Anyway, everyone's enemy is [Society], as long as it's against [Society], I'll definitely lend a hand as Caramel Snail!'

'These pathways are increasing...' Long Yuqiong paused, seemingly at a loss, only managing to say: 'However, at least it doesn't result in more latent danger of war or emergence of new [Societies] like Dragon civilization.'

'I don't understand.' Yueyue listened for a long time, feeling puzzled yet impressed, sent a cat head question mark emoji: 'I don't know anything.'

'This might affect future plots, but even if it does, it would be several versions later.' Xia Yubing considered more realistically:

'In any case, there won't be issues now, we should agree with her and proceed with Submergence Starry Abyss.'

"We have no other choices." Yutianxiao shrugged, looking at Night Fighting Sword beside him: "Speaking of which, why isn't Old Ye saying anything?"

"Don't ask me." Night Fighting Sword was puzzled: "I skip the plot, who would watch standing dialogue scenes?"

"Since it's decided, a majority agrees."

Leoz looked at Glina and said:

"We agree to help you."

"Wait until you've grown up."

Finishing, Glina shrugged her shoulders, flicked her delicate hand, displayed a crystal floating lamp, her eyes slightly turned white as she murmured an obscure language:

"(Purgatory Language) Azuq no dol postino..."

As she chanted, the floating lamp gradually bloomed like a flower, energy quickly poured to the ground, slowly forming a vortex in the air.

"The room is already prepared."

Glina hugged her arms, said indifferently:

"Everyone, please come into me."
