Chen Shi felt a pang of sympathy; the lives of these lower-level dragons were not easy.
The Hidden Dragon Ancestor continued, "In the end, those who could become a True Dragon Emperor in the Mortal World were the descendants of noble dragons, and those who became the Four Sea Dragon Kings or the Desert Dragon King in the Mortal World were the descendants of powerful dragons. Even those who became Dragon Kings in the wells of the Mortal World were at least the descendants of Little Official Dragons. As for someone like me, with no background and nothing to my name, I didn't know when I might be captured by a lower-level Immortal, have my dragon liver extracted, and be paired with a lower-level phoenix from the Phoenix Clan to make a Dragon Liver and Phoenix Gall feast for the Immortals."
Chen Shi asked, "How did Brother Dao rise to prominence?"
