The conflict between the Church of Light and the Church of Darkness, though its origin was unknown, ran deep with resentment.
Their clashes were not surprising to outsiders, nor to themselves.
As their struggle intensified, the people dispatched by Lin Yan were diligently accumulating their own strength and growing.
Lin Yan felt the influx of faith power increasing, her own strength growing with it.
Level nine did not seem to be the peak of this continent. She vaguely sensed other levels beyond nine, but all her knowledge offered no clue as to what lay beyond.
Level nine appeared to be the highest echelon of power on this continent. Perhaps the Dragon Patriarch and the Elf King of the Elven race knew, but Lin Yan had no desire to inquire.
She was merely a passerby in this world and had no need to reach the apex of power. With the ever-increasing faith power, her emotions felt increasingly detached.
Fortunately, her past experiences in other worlds had forged a soul strong enough to resist such erosion.
The Dragon race had sent more young dragons. However, some of these young dragons had already reached adulthood, and some were even nearing their end.
Lin Yan was their last hope. Accompanying them were many adult dragons, some with their mates.
Dragons and their mates appeared youthful, but the one accompanying them, presumably their child, bore a different age.
Some were adolescents, some middle-aged, and some were already elderly.
Lin Yan had her people arrange accommodations for them first, followed by physical examinations. The elders who were most anxious were examined first.
After her examination, Lin Yan discovered that their bloodline power was still relatively concentrated, but awakening it on their own was no longer possible.
Lin Yan kept them, beginning to regulate their bodies.
"Angelina, is there still a possibility for our child to awaken?" The child of the couple asking Lin Yan was already aged; for a human, his lifespan was likely nearing its end.
"The probability is very small, or rather, difficult like Joey's case, but not entirely impossible."
"You're serious!" The dragon was extremely excited.
He was an adult black dragon, and his wife was a noble lady. He fell in love with her at first sight.
Although he had given half of his lifespan to his wife, their child was born looking human, with no talent for magic or knighthood. He could only watch his child grow old.
His wife was also deeply saddened by this. Especially when she maintained her youthful appearance, her child was already aging.
She had not smiled in years, her brow perpetually furrowed, and her body grew weaker as a result. If this continued, he might not only lose his child but also his wife.
"It might be painful, and it might even worsen their current physical condition. Even if their bloodline fully awakens, they won't become very powerful dragons. At most, they will become the most ordinary of dragons," Lin Yan did not close the door entirely.
"That's enough!" Even ordinary dragons possessed long lifespans, far exceeding those of humans.
Their child lacked talent and was likely nearing the end of his life; they truly could not bear to part with him.
