The vast sun hung high in the sky, its scorching rays bathing the earth.
In a fertile field, countless farmers, small and bent, toiled under the blazing sun.
Sweat dripped steadily from their dark, sun-kissed skin.
"This year's sun is truly merciless... Could it be the dragon causing havoc again?"
One farmer straightened up, wiping the sweat from his brow, his face filled with worry.
Hearing his words, another farmer nearby quickly showed a frightened expression and whispered anxiously,
"Keep your voice down! If it hears us, we'll be in trouble!"
The first farmer sighed helplessly, his face filled with sorrow, and bent back down to continue his labor.
Just then.
"Boom!"
A deafening roar echoed, and the ground began to tremble violently!
Feeling the intense shaking, the farmers straightened up, their bodies swaying as they looked into the distance, their faces filled with panic and fear.
"What... what's happening!?"
"I... I don't know! Could it really be the dragon wreaking havoc!? We... we should run!"
As the farmers were overcome with fear, the sound of galloping hooves suddenly reached their ears!
"Clatter! Clatter! Clatter!"
The panicked farmers turned to look and saw a cloud of dust rising as a group of galloping horses charged toward them.
On the horses were armored soldiers, their faces resolute, their heavy armor sturdy and strong!
Leading them on a white horse was a handsome young man with black hair tied back, a golden band around his head. His face was firm as he galloped at the forefront.
The farmers, seeing him, were momentarily stunned, then their faces lit up with excitement.
"Is... is that the legendary Son of Heaven!?"
One farmer stammered.
Hearing this, another farmer's face flushed with excitement as he exclaimed,
"Yes, that's the Son of Heaven of our Ancestral Land! The greatest and wisest ruler!"
"The Son of Heaven's benevolence is unmatched by any other ruler!"
At that moment, the young man known as the Son of Heaven galloped past the farmers on his white horse. His face was serious as he called out to them with concern,
"Leave this place quickly! The dragon is about to rampage again!"
"My warriors and I will confront it. We won't be able to protect you, so flee now!"
Hearing his words, the farmers were stunned, then their faces filled with panic.
The dragon... had it truly appeared in the Ancestral Land!?
The farmers quickly grabbed their hoes and began to run. Some, concerned for the Son of Heaven, stopped and called out to him,
"Son of Heaven, you must be careful! That... that's a dragon!"
The young man, his face resolute, looked at the worried farmers and said firmly,
"Don't worry. With my warriors by my side, we will stop the dragon! After all... if we let it rampage unchecked, this year's harvest will be ruined!"
"The Son of Heaven is truly benevolent!"
Hearing his words, the farmers' faces filled with gratitude, and they shouted in admiration.
At that moment, the mounted warriors caught up and gathered around the Son of Heaven. He glanced back at them and said firmly,
"We must move now. You all, flee quickly!"
With that, he spurred his horse forward.
The warriors followed closely behind, leaving a trail of dust in their wake. The farmers watched them go, their faces filled with worry.
"Boom!"
With a thunderous crash, in a lush forest atop a vast mountain range, a massive black shadow slammed into the rocky cliffs!
In an instant, boulders dozens of meters tall shattered, and the towering mountain was riddled with cracks.
The ground was now littered with piles of rubble, like small hills.
On the broken cliffs, traces of blood and scattered black scales could be seen.
"Screech!!"
Then, an ear-piercing, terrifying roar echoed through the vast forest.
In an instant, the wildlife in the forest fell silent, hiding in fear.
"Neigh..."
"Neigh..."
Just then, the sound of galloping horses echoed through the forest. On the mountainside, the Son of Heaven and his warriors had arrived.
However, at this moment, their horses seemed to sense something. No matter how much they were whipped, they refused to go any further, only stomping in place.
A burly warrior said to the Son of Heaven,
"Son of Heaven, the horses must have sensed the dragon's presence. They won't go any further!"
Hearing this, the Son of Heaven's face grew solemn. After a moment of thought, he said firmly,
"Tell everyone to dismount!"
With that, he swiftly dismounted, his movements agile.
Standing on the ground, the Son of Heaven gazed solemnly at the distant mountain range and said slowly,
"We'll proceed on foot. No matter what, we must not let the dragon harm the people of the Ancestral Land!"
Under the blazing sun, the Son of Heaven stood with unwavering determination and benevolence, like a miniature sun radiating warmth.
Hearing his words, the warriors looked at him with reverence, their eyes filled with resolve, and they shouted in unison,
"We will follow the Son of Heaven's will to the death!"
And so, the group began their ascent on foot.
"Crash—"
Countless massive boulders crumbled like fragile eggshells.
"Screech!!"
Another piercing roar echoed, this time filled with agony, as if the creature was enduring immense pain!
With each cry, the ground shook violently!
By now, the Son of Heaven and his warriors had climbed to the peak of the mountain. They were agile and strong! With a firm grip on the rocks, they effortlessly pulled themselves up.
Led by the Son of Heaven, the group moved like a swarm of black ants, climbing toward the summit. The clinking of their weapons was the only sound besides the dragon's roars.
Finally, after overcoming countless obstacles, they reached the mountain's peak and looked down.
"My god... Son of Heaven, look!!"
A warrior, peering into the lush forest below, suddenly widened his eyes in shock and pointed with a trembling hand.
Hearing his words, the Son of Heaven and the others followed his gaze!
What they saw sent a chill down their spines, their faces instantly turning pale!
