After a thousand years, Wilbur became even more resolute in his beliefs. Following his conversation with Heaton, Wilbur returned to the Dragon Confinement Spell to continue his cultivation.
Time flew by outside. The Golden Dragon World and Silver Dragon World were rebuilt, and the number of cultivators in the upper dimensions increased once again. However, due to the previous great war, most cultivators with over a million years of cultivation had been ughtered. As a result, in the newly constructed Golden and Silver Dragon Worlds, the average cultivation level of practitioners was generally below a million years.
After a long fifteen thousand years, Wilbur sessfully raised his cultivation to two million years. At the very moment Wilbur reached this milestone, the blood in his body surged, and a red beam of light shot into the sky, enveloping Wilbur within it. Inside the light, the phantom of a red fire dragon swam continuously, letting out a series of roars.
"What is this?"
As the red light dissipated, Wilbur stood there in shock. Heaton handed him a bottle of beer and said, "Congrattions. You''ve reached two million years of cultivation. Every cultivator from different spaces and with different identities will awaken their Star Vein power when they reach two million years of cultivation."
"Your Star Vein is the Fire Dragon, which proves you are a descendant of the Fire Dragon n."
"Star Vein? What does that mean?" Wilbur looked at Heaton with confusion, and Heaton began to exin the origins of the Star Veins.
It turned out that Star Veins were the pathways formed by the stars in the sky of the upper dimensions, simr to the constetions like the Southern Dipper and the Northern Dipper in Earth''s Dimension. The simrity between the two was that they both could influence cultivators born under the corresponding stars.
The difference, however, was the space they operated in. The stars of Earth''s dimension only covered Earth''s space and could not extend beyond it. However, the Star Veins of the upper dimensions could reach every space, as if they were imprinted into the very bones of all beings.
Wilbur''s awakening of the Star Vein power proved that he originated from the Fire Dragon n, and the totem on his back, a birthmark he had since birth, further confirmed Wilbur''s status within the Fire Dragon n.
"You might be a reincarnated prince of the Fire Dragon n who entered the cycle of reincarnation. Otherwise, you wouldn''t have a Fire Dragon birthmark on your back."
After hearing Heaton''s exnation, Wilbur began to understand and frowned, saying, "But I''ve been in the upper dimensions for a long time and have never seen the Fire Dragon n. In fact, I''ve never even seen an ordinary dragon n member. Could it be that a catastrophe urred in the past, leading to the extinction of the Dragon n?"
Heaton shook his head, indicating that he did not know either. Although there were many rumors about the dragon ns in the upper dimensions, almost no one had ever seen a real dragon n member, except for some dragon n cultivators. Perhaps, as Wilbur spected, this ancient race had faced some catastrophe many eons ago and no longer existed.
Wilbur felt a sense of regret about this. Nevertheless, he was still prepared to participate in the dimensional guardian selectionpetition five yearster.
The dimensional guardian selectionpetition was held every ten thousand years. Thest one was held eight thousand years ago, so it should have been another two thousand years before the next servant selectionpetition. However, for some unknown reason, it had been moved up by two thousand years.
This made Wilbur very happy since bing a servant of a dimensional guardian would give him the opportunity to return to past timelines. However, there were still five years left before thepetition began, and Wilbur nned to rest and recuperate during this time while also attending to another important matter.
That night, after Heaton had gone to rest, Wilbur used his mind to leave his resting room and enter the demine. As soon as Wilbur entered the demine space, an ancient voice suddenly echoed from the sky, "Such a familiar dragon n aura. You''ve grown stronger, my dragon n cultivator."
