Taking note of this point, this writing studies transmission pattern of cintamani ascension story among dragon tales. Then, this writing shows how the movie transforms these aspects. The things to become a dragon in the cintamani ascension story among dragon tales need cintamani to ascend to heaven. In spite of passive thing, tale has been passed down as cintamani acquisition of dragon and day of ascension are arranged by heaven. Also it should be proper to heaven’s reason to ascend to heaven. Especially, heaven warns greed toward cintamani. We can see also competition story in tales. In these tales, cintamani is acquired from the outside, it is hard to get cintamani. We can see these tales as competition story about cintamani. Through this competition,the thing becomes heaven dragon by receiving human(hero)’s help. As tales are passed down, it is showed that Cintamani is created by female. Cintamani is related to female sexuality. This move far from the personality of cintamani as orb and dragon’s bead. So transfomation in tales is also verified. These cintamani ascension story among dragon tales is emphasized or transformed in the movie The war . Preallotment is emphasized as repetition tool for previous and present life. Cintamani is personified as Sarah . It becomes sacrificial lamb to rescue space.

The hero is not related to dragon’s competition directly but opposes to the plan of heaven. The movie The war transformed structure, material and role of characters in cintamani ascension story among dragon tales. So it recreated classical literature.
