Shortly before John left the temple, all the youths within the massive temple realm felt a disturbance, as the aura within the temple realm began to change.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know? Is something happening?"
"Look! The Dragon corpse!"
Boisterous discussion broke out amongst the youths, who finally noticed that the source of the change was the ancient dragon corpse itself. Against their wildest imaginations, the ancient dragon corpse that had existed for hundreds of thousands of years was beginning to fade away, as if it were turning to dust.
The dragon corpse continued to fade from sight, and just as it fully disappeared, the youths all saw a bright white light pierce directly down into the temple beneath it. After the white light disappeared, the dragon corpse faded away for good, shocking everyone who had seen it senseless.
