At the dawn of chaos, Zhulong wept tears of blood and transformed into Kunlun. Its spine became the peaks, and its eyes became lakes. The three dragons Xuan Chi, Yinglong, and Qingluan each took charge of one region: the frozen north, the lightning-filled central plains, and the flower-blossoming south. Their spirit veins connected the nine provinces. The Queen Mother of the West established the Divine Court at Xuanyuan, using the elixir of immortality as bait while secretly hiding the Heavenly Dao's backlash against divine power. Yet beyond the Abyss of Weak Water, fragments of chaos tore through the sky and fell to earth, planting the seeds of disaster.
In the Era of the Ancient Gods, the Yellow Emperor used a Kunlun jade talisman to summon Yinglong, whose thunderous halberd shattered Chiyou at Zhuolu. When Yu the Great tamed the floods, Xuan Chi carved Dragon Gate with a sweep of its tail, while Qingluan carried soil to hold back the waters of the Nine Rivers. Gonggong's furious assault on Mount Buzhou was in fact caused by the corruption of chaos, and the Queen Mother's peaches of immortality became weapons in the bloody battle against Luohou.
Beneath the currents of the Dynastic Era, Laozi wrote the Dao De Jing at Hangu Pass, every character branded into the jade steps of Xuanyuan. Qin Shi Huang forged the Great Wall to lock away the northern dragon, while Xu Fu sailed east in search of spirit veins and was buried beneath the sea. Li Bai drew his sword and triggered Qingluan's secret realm, his poetic spirit driving back demons from beyond the borders. Zheng He's treasure ships used dragon bones to suppress the South China Sea, and at Longchang, Wang Yangming grasped the Dao and awakened the lingering soul of the central dragon.
In the Era of Awakening Amid the Flames of War, Lin Zexu used the Eight Trigrams Formation to protect the Yangtze River's dragon vein, and its burning crimson blood drove back the British army's spirit-powered steam engines. Beneath Changbai Mountain, a shaman struck a cold iron talisman to summon Xuan Chi's phantom, freezing and shattering the Japanese army's vein-severing drill. Along the ancient Qinling Road, Taoist priests used Wang Yangming's teachings to gather the earth's energy and help guerrillas destroy a biological weapons laboratory. Underground Communist Party members carried the Kunlun secret scroll through the crossfire, keeping the flame of civilization alive.
In the Era of Transformation, geological survey teams and Taoist priests worked together to study dragon-vein energy, and satellite images revealed the spiritual network of the three dragons. A Shenzhen entrepreneur received Qingluan's blessing and saw flowers bloom across stock charts on the night the market crashed. The post-2000 generation's New Dragon Guardians used drones to awaken Xuan Chi. The shadow of an ice dragon swept over a nuclear power plant's cooling towers, forcing the government to halt its plan to discharge nuclear wastewater into the sea.
