Soon, a small figure walked towards Jin Rou. He was very cute with his adorable eyes and blue hair and small horn on top. Moreover, a tail was wagging behind him.

Jin Rou observed him and already understood the situation, "You are the only one in this place, little guy?"

"En, Big Brother." The little guy was curious about Jin Rou and asked, "I was told that no one can enter this place, but how did you do it, Big Brother?"

"Because I\'m strong." Jin Rou chuckled.

"Really? How strong?" The little guy\'s eyes shone like diamonds, "My father is strong too. Like extremely!"

Then, the little guy\'s mood suddenly turned off, "But he has not returned like for long now... I don\'t know what happened..."

"What happened?" Jin Rou was interested to hear the story of this little guy of Divine Dragon Race.

The little guy answered and explained it in details, afterwards.

His name was Zhugo. But the pronunciation of his name was actually \'yu-go\' noy \'zu-gò\'. His father was one of the dragon emperors who fought the era emperors during the Pandemonium Incident.

But what\'s shockingly, was his father the dragon emperor, actually arrived in this world much earlier than the rest of the dragon emperors. Because of Hundred Dragons Plateau\' lake, the dragon emperor managed to connect his own dao source to it and turned it into a warp gate by providing energy from the dao source. Since the creator of the plateau was a dragon, the connection was simple and easy.

Zhugo was still in his dragon egg by that time but his father often spoke to him despite not being able to answer so he knew what\'s going on outside. Now that he hatched successfully, he was eagerly waiting for his father to come home. After all, he would know instantly that his son was already hatched.

Unfortunately, days, months, and countless years passed, his father never returned and Zhugo was all alone in this place.

Jin Rou didn\'t want to give him a false hope and immediately told the truth, "Your father has been killed during a war against era emperors, Zhugo."

"How can it be...?" As expected, Zhugo didn\'t take this well, "My father is very strong! He cannot be killed here!!"

This brutal truth was difficult to take for Zhugo\'s age. But instead of giving him a false hope that his father was still alive, it\'s better to drill him the truth that his father had already died. After all, it would be much more painful when he discovered it himself after being consoled falsely.

"Think about it, Zhugo. He never returned, and judging by your stories, he is not the type to abandon you." Jin Rou explained slowly, "He never had the thought of abandoning you, it\'s just that he already had no chance to see you again. Death is the end of all things, Zhugo. And everyone can never be prone to that."

Even immortals die in due time. What more for people who were below them? One way or another, living things were bounded to die. And no one was exception to this rule.

"But! But!" Zhugo still refused to take it and said, "He said he will come back! Come back!"

"Zhugo, sometimes we cannot determine what\'s going to happen. Your father will never come back, and there won\'t be a chance." Jin Rou spoke harsher truths without holding back, "But your father has loved you, didn\'t he? Why don\'t you use that to move forward?"

Zhugo was a little dragon. He was little and immature, but he would grow up in no time. Moreover, being a son of a dragon emperor, he was bound to greatness too as long as he was nurtured properly.

The child was silently for a while before finally speaking, "What... what should I do?"

"This place will limit your potential. How about you come with me and become my little brother?" Jin Rou said. With the unhatched egg in his storage, Zhugo would be the second dragon in his arsenal.

Of course, he had no plans in making him fight the war with him. He just wanted to guide the dragon to the right path, and to the choices he wanted to make. Or for this, there was no better than Jin Rou.

"Your little brother?" Zhugo asked.

"Yes. I have been longing for a little brother now, so why don\'t you become my brother?" Jin Rou smiled. In his life and Han Li\'s, they shared the same experience. And that was they were all lone children of their families. Jin Rou was longing to treat someone like a little brother and what it felt like.

And Zhugo was the perfect one for it.

Jin Rou took out the old box with a small dragon inside and showed it to Zhugo, "This little dragon has yet to hatch, and this is also an offspring of a dragon emperor. You two will get along well."

"I can be the big brother of this little dragon here?" Zhugo\'s mood returned and he said excitedly, "I\'m willing to be your little brother, Big Bro!"

Jin Rou laughed and pat his head. He returned the old box to his storage and said, " All right, but before we depart this place, I will be getting the dao source here, en?"

Zhugo nodded. He didn\'t know the importance of the dao source anyway and he wasn\'t planning in returning here. After all, his father would never come back. It would just make him sad staying there.

Jin Rou smiled and prepared to absorb the dao source. The source was so thick and full. He had to take turns after turns before fully drying up the source. He had separated some for some usage.

His trip here was satisfactory. Not only did he get a dragon, he even got the whole dao source of a dragon emperor! His harvest was truly extravagant this time around.

It was his most resourceful loot he had ever have here in Mortalis and he was happy about it.
