It's a pity, the guy who completed the dragon slaying, although remarkable, was ultimately just an ordinary person.

"...He held Gu Tafu's bones high, weeping over Gu Tafu's departure, and then compiled the final page of the epic for Him—at the last moment, He instructed him to hand over His bones to the most devout believer, as the Priest of the Holy Armor Dragon Kingdom. Then the priest crowned him, ruling the earthly realm in the name of the god."
