The nest of his youth, once filled with the sweet taste of fruit and happy memories, had been reduced to this graveyard simply because a single drought beast had passed by.
In silence, Cen Yun devoured it. He didn't know why tears streamed down his face as he silently wept and swallowed the last Spiritual Serpent. The Spiritual Serpent had devoured many of his friends and family, and now, he had devoured it. 'Perhaps this means we're still together, here in my stomach,' he thought. 'Maybe we can find the peace we once had... or maybe the slaughter will just continue.'
Who could say?
Drawing strength from the path of the Spiritual Serpent, Cen Yun grew and gained power. He became a leader, guiding the survivors of his village away from the mountains. He traveled the lands of the All Realms, testing his strength against other Exotic Beasts and interacting warily with other humans.
