"Damn that woman!"
Among those who hid in the shadows was none other than the Third Prince, Ao Xin. Long before the arrival of those ancient dragonflies, he had already gone undercover. He personally established this palace, which contained a secret checkpoint unknown to anyone, not even his Sister Wang.
He anticipated that this place would become the battleground between ancient sorcerers and the Ancient Worm. He had been secretly monitoring things here well in advance.
And his predictions were not wrong. The Ancient Worm sought to directly control a royal breed, ambition that fell within his expectations. Compared to those despicable members of the Human Race who merely aspired to dragon transformation, the Ancient Worm indeed possessed courage and ambition.
It also had sufficient capital. Its unique talent—as he had predicted when it was created—could nurture special insects with its special blood to control all things ancient.
Yes... the Ancient Worm... was designed by him!
