Haoyuan flew into the sky, gazing at the familiar forests and land, feeling the familiar vitality of life, and couldn't help but let out a dragon roar.
It was a celebration of his new life.
Sixty million years had passed.
It was time for a new era.
In the days that followed.
The tribespeople settled in the Green Fields at the foot of the volcano.
This area was far from the Land Where Dragons Slumber, so they wouldn't disturb them.
Moreover, since the Dragon God had awakened, the spiritual energy here was dense and suitable for cultivation. There was a lake nearby for drinking water and fishing, and a forest further away abundant with beast meat.
It was an extremely ideal dwelling place.
The tribespeople finally had peaceful days, well-fed and prosperous.
Haoyuan did not drive them away; he simply didn't promise protection but allowed them convenience in their lives.
He had learned from the Red Dragon and the other dragons that it was the fourteen-year-old girl who had awakened him.
Therefore, she was considered a benefactor to the dragon race.
Haoyuan finally understood the source of the attack on him.
This favor was neither great nor small.
After all, if he hadn't awakened, and something unexpected happened to this group of dragons in the years to come, it would have been a pity.
This time, he didn't plan to fight alone.
With familiars, it was only natural to train them well.
Of course, he also knew that the girl was actually eleven years old.
To be honest, he was very surprised the moment he heard it.
After all, her height looked at least 1.59 meters, didn't it?
Was this something an eleven-year-old girl could grow to?
Having had little interaction with humans in his previous life, he had somewhat forgotten, but he always remembered that girls should be quite short.
1.65 meters was considered a tall, elegant woman, right?
She was only a few centimeters short of that...
Well, he'd forgotten.
Perhaps a tall, elegant woman was 1.72 meters?
All in all, for an eleven-year-old to be so tall in a tribal era was quite impressive.
And indeed, she was impressive; because he owed her a favor, when the girl expressed a desire to cultivate, he permitted her to practice near him.
It was then that he discovered that in this special era, not only living beings could grow through radiation, but humans could also cultivate through spiritual energy.
He didn't know if the spiritual energy here was the same as described in novels from his previous life.
In any case, it was a gentle energy emanating from the bodies of giant beasts.
It was not the same as radiation.
However, it also had a faint radiating effect.
The two seemed to appear simultaneously, both being energies that could be generated at a certain Life Tier.
Yet the strength of the spiritual energy was related to radiation.
The stronger the radiation, the more spiritual energy there was.
Currently, among his familiars, only the flying dragons could generate this kind of spiritual energy.
But it was too little.
Even the largest Red Dragon didn't produce much.
Yet, in the eyes of the tribespeople, this was quite a lot, while the multi-colored dragons seemed to provide very little spiritual energy.
This showed that, to ordinary creatures, the difference between the multi-colored dragons and the Red Dragon was significant.
This was normal, though; in Haoyuan's eyes, the Red Dragon was a creature of the second Life Tier, naturally much stronger than the dragons of the first Life Tier.
On the very first day of his awakening, he had already surveyed the strength of his familiars.
The first tier: the Red Dragon, 50 meters long, second Life Tier.
The second tier: the Azure Dragon, Yellow Dragon, Black Dragon, and Rainbow Dragon—four dragons, all 39 meters long, at the peak of the first Life Tier.
The third tier: multi-colored dragons, a total of 36, mostly over 20 meters, with several over 30 meters, all first Life Tier.
The fourth tier: flood dragons, a total of 108, all over 10 meters long, the longest being 19 meters, also first Life Tier.
Regardless of their tier, every dragon possessed Divine Abilities.
Among them, the flood dragons of the fourth tier had the weakest Divine Abilities.
Their breath attack range was mostly between 3 to 9 meters.
For each tier higher, their combat power increased significantly.
Every dragon possessed Divine Abilities related to water and mist, with their other abilities varying.
They usually only mastered two of the four Divine Abilities: wind, fire, ice, and thunder.
Even the powerful Red Dragon only mastered three: fire, wind, and ice.
However, only the Red Dragon had inherited the Eyes of the Torch Dragon.
Among the second-tier dragons, the Rainbow Dragon inherited Mimicry.
The Azure Dragon, Yellow Dragon, and Black Dragon each inherited three of the four Divine Abilities: wind, fire, ice, and thunder.
The Rainbow Dragon also inherited three.
Haoyuan couldn't help but frown when he made them demonstrate their Divine Abilities before him.
He possessed so many Divine Abilities, yet his familiars had only inherited a few.
None of the dragons had inherited Dragon Might Gaze.
However, dragons naturally possessed dragon might, which brought him some comfort.
Whale Gulp Dragon Inhale was the most regrettable, as no dragon had inherited it either.
The only consolation was that they also seemed to possess some kind of spatial organ within their bodies, capable of storing things.
Though the capacity was relatively small.
It seemed that abilities generated by radiation would be somewhat weakened, not as strong as the original.
This wasn't obvious at the first Life Tier, but hints of it appeared at the second Life Tier.
The Red Dragon's various Divine Abilities were all weaker than his own had been in the past.
He didn't know the reason for this, but even so, the Red Dragon's Divine Abilities were still formidable.
At the second Life Tier, its wind, fire, and ice Divine Abilities were also vastly superior.
After all, Haoyuan was the dragon who had once swept across two continents, and he was intimately familiar with the wind, fire, and ice abilities of large creatures.
At that time, each of his Divine Abilities had undergone massive improvement, and no creature at the second Life Tier could compare.
Although the Red Dragon was weaker compared to him, it was still incomparably stronger than the others.
Strictly speaking, it wasn't that his familiars hadn't inherited all six of Haoyuan's Divine Abilities; it was just that some had been weakened to the point where they could no longer be considered Divine Abilities.
For example, the Red Dragon wasn't without lightning, but it was extremely weak, unable to form an effective powerful lightning strike. It could be used against ordinary creatures, but it wouldn't be able to harm a flood dragon.
It was as thin as a tangled mess.
So Haoyuan couldn't classify it as a Divine Ability; it was too useless.
After understanding his familiars' abilities, Haoyuan began teaching them how to use their Divine Abilities.
After all, he had extensive combat experience, possessing many techniques they had yet to master.
During the lessons, if any dragon dared to slack off, Haoyuan would immediately lash it with his dragon whiskers, teaching it the power of his dragon whiskers.
In just a few days, the entire area at the foot of the volcano was bustling, like a military training camp in full swing.
As if influenced by the Dragon God, the tribespeople also began their training.
Though well-fed and clothed, they remained mindful of potential dangers, perhaps because they had endured too many hardships, driving them to train diligently.
In his leisure, Haoyuan would lie atop the volcano and observe their training.
Over time, he slowly gained a clear understanding of the tribespeople's strength.
To his surprise, among this group, the eleven-year-old, 1.59-meter tall girl could actually rank second in strength.
While her strength wasn't the greatest, her form and technique were incredibly potent. She often sparred with Yan Shou and Si Cang.
She fought fiercely and rapidly, moving with extreme swiftness.
She could occasionally draw with Yan Shou.
Yan Shou's strength was immense; truly, brute force could overcome all techniques. Sometimes, he could endure her attacks and easily turn the tide.
Si Cang was also very agile, and as a male, he possessed great strength. However, his form and technique weren't as formidable, so he often lost more than he won against Si He.
Another person worthy of note was Si Yun; she seemed to have never trained before.
But ever since Si He taught her how to train, her progress had been very rapid; it felt like she would be able to become a hunter in just another month or so.
Though only an ordinary hunter.
Haoyuan had heard this from Si He. His hearing was excellent; although he was lying on the volcano, he could hear everything happening at its foot with perfect clarity.
According to Si He, the hunters in their tribe were all considered elites.
Haoyuan observed that this was indeed the case; as soon as the hunters came into contact with spiritual energy, their strength rapidly increased.
Their sparring matches were back and forth and exceptionally thrilling, making Haoyuan wish he had snacks to munch on.
“Human life is quite interesting…”
He sighed, thinking that he should find more enjoyment in the future. With that thought, he casually flicked the Red Dragon next to him with his dragon whiskers.
The Red Dragon looked at him with an aggrieved expression.
He said, “You should learn from them. Look how hard they're training.”
In truth, he just wanted to flick it; the feeling of his dragon whiskers bouncing off a dragon's body was quite amusing, one of his few sources of entertainment.
“Why didn’t I ever think of gently flicking the dromaeosaurs when I was teaching them? I wonder what that would have felt like…”
Haoyuan missed his dromaeosaurs again...
