The Star Empire.
Atop the Cloud Divine Hall.
At this mont, standing in the Temple Square, York gazed fixedly at the statue of the Dragon God, Lince.
His expression was incredibly solemn.
He had been the Emperor of the Empire for one hundred and eighty years.
Now, he was still in the pri of his life.
After all, he had long since reached the strength of a Tier Nine Peak.
He had not even allowed his Bloodline to beco pure, still maintaining his half-human, half-dragon form.
Because of this, York had long possessed the opportunity to purify his Bloodline and advance to the Saint Tier at any ti.
But reaching the Saint Tier was not York’s current priority.
After all, with his Tier Nine Peak strength and a Bloodline like that of a Dragon Descendant, he could easily live for two thousand years under normal circumstances.
Therefore, according to the Star Empire’s current plan, with York, the first-generation Emperor, as the model:
The Emperor of the Empire must abdicate upon reaching one thousand years of age.
After abdicating, advancing to the Pure-blooded Dragon Clan, or even to the Saint Tier, would be a natural progression.
As for why York didn’t undergo the transformation into a Pure-blooded Dragon, the reason was simple: the most suitable identity for the Emperor of the Star Empire was that of a half-dragon, half-human.
This symbolized the close bond between gods and n, between dragons and Lower-Rank Creatures.
Thus, this was the rule for the Emperor Race of the Star Empire.
Of course, York had no intention of being Emperor for a thousand years, nor of making his eldest son the Crown Prince for a millennium.
After all, as the first-generation Emperor who had risen from obscurity, his age was too close to his eldest son’s.
It would be rather inappropriate for him to reign for too long.
So, as the Founding Emperor, to set a good example for his descendants, York planned to abdicate after reaching the age of five hundred.
And his eldest son, Caesar, had indeed not disappointed his and Empress Lucia’s expectations over the years.
At this mont, York’s eldest son, Caesar, stood beside him.
"Let’s go."
"Yes, Father Emperor."
York and his eldest son gave a formal salute to the statue of the Dragon God.
Then, he spoke and led Caesar into the Teleportation Array at the center of the Temple Square.
As the Teleportation Array flashed with light, in the next mont, in the blink of an eye, York and Caesar appeared in the square of another mysterious land.
Dragon Island!
That’s right. York and Caesar had arrived on Dragon Island, which was currently floating above a great sea off the Karte Continent.
Standing on the mountain peak where the Teleportation Array was located, they overlooked the land below.
The first impression of Dragon Island was that it was vast and primordial.
Skyscraping trees grew here, and the land was peaceful and serene.
Just as Caesar, at York’s side, was curiously observing this new Earth Realm...
Suddenly, from one side of the square, a Saint Tier Sub-dragon transford into a human and descended.
"Greetings, Your Majesty York."
"Greetings, Your Highness Caesar."
"The Elders have been waiting for so ti. Your Majesty and Your Highness, please follow to the Dragon Nest."
Seeing the newcor, York gave a slight nod.
"Then please lead the way."
"This way, please..."
And so, a short while later, a eting began in the great hall of the ’Dragon Nest’, a place that resembled a divine hall.
At this ti, York, seated on one of the high seats, imdiately spoke to the Rock Steel Giant, Amos, who was in the main seat.
"Lord Amos, what do you know about the Crimson World?"
Amos smiled faintly at his words and looked toward Crimson at his side.
Crimson imdiately replied:
"We may not know more than you, the Divine Son."
"However, so years ago, we did hear His Majesty give an order before he fell into slumber. He said that on a certain day one hundred and twenty years later, He would begin a new journey of civilization."
"We just didn’t expect the timing to be so precise."
"What, did His Majesty the Emperor truly know nothing of this beforehand?"
Hearing this, York gave a helpless smile.
"I truly did not know about sothing like this."
"I’m not afraid to admit it, Lady Crimson, and everyone else—I only learned of this matter when I received the report from the Divine Favorers Association."
"Speaking of which, it seems the granddaughter of my rather unremarkable seventeenth daughter has just been conscripted as one of the Civilization Pioneers."
Hearing this, the fifteen Dragon Race Elders all showed a trace of curiosity.
"Oh? To think Your Majesty’s Bloodline would be so fortunate."
"I heard that only three Low Tier mortals were selected for this Pioneer mission, is that correct?"
The Hurricane Cyan Dragon, Sisrton, suddenly spoke up.
"That is indeed true. Intelligent Brain Anita has already scanned all the citizens of the Empire. There are indeed only three citizens who have vanished without a trace from within the Empire’s borders."
"His Majesty the Emperor’s Divine Favor has not diminished. For your Bloodline to encounter such a small probability is quite sothing."
"But for a Low Tier being, the risk is certainly not small, to be honest. I wonder, has that descendant of Your Majesty awakened her Dragon Race Bloodline?"
At the side, the Ocean Blue Dragon, lany, suddenly asked.
York did not hesitate to reply, smiling slightly.
"Speaking of her, my fourth-generation bloodline is actually quite decent. She already awakened a diluted Rock Dragon Bloodline after coming of age."
"Although it is only a Weak Dragon Level diluted bloodline, with her Tier Two strength, she should have no major problems facing an ordinary Tier Four being."
As York said this, the Red Dragon Crimson imdiately gave an exasperated laugh.
"Tch, Your Majesty, you really love to show off. A Weak Dragon Level diluted bloodline... do you have any idea how many beings out there consider it an extravagant dream just to possess a Sub-dragon Bloodline?"
"Never mind anything else, here on our Dragon Island, even after one hundred and eighty years, the number of outer mbers with the bloodline of the Sub-dragon Race hasn’t even reached a thousand."
