Calamity Dragon, Starting with the Cultivation of Knight Families

Chapter 225 Imperial Reaction, Heran Third Order

Empire of Stars.

Above the cloud-top temple.

At this moment, standing in the temple square, York stared intently at the statue of the dragon god belonging to Linco.

His expression was extremely solemn.

He was the emperor of an empire and had been in power for 180 years.

He is still in his prime.

After all, he had already reached the peak of the ninth rank over the years.

Even the power of its bloodline has not been purified, and it still retains its half-human, half-dragon form.

Therefore, York actually had the opportunity to become a pureblood and advance to the Saint rank at any time in his early years.

But the Saint rank is not what York is in a hurry for right now.

After all, given his peak ninth-tier strength and dragon-like bloodline, he should have no problem living to be two thousand years old.

Therefore, according to the current plans of the Star Empire.

Take the first King of York as an example.

The emperor of the empire must abdicate once he reaches the age of one thousand.

After abdicating, advancing to the pure-blooded dragon race, or even reaching the Saint rank, would be a natural progression.

As for why York didn't become a pure-blooded dragon.

The reason is simple: it is most appropriate for the emperor of the Star Empire to be half-dragon and half-human.

This symbolizes the close bond between gods and humans, and between dragons and other beings.

Therefore, this is the rule of the imperial family of the Star Empire.

Of course, York never intended to be emperor for a thousand years, or even to make his eldest son the 'crown prince' for a thousand years.

After all, as the first emperor, York rose from humble beginnings to become emperor, and his age was very close to that of his eldest son.

It would be somewhat inappropriate for him to be emperor for too long.

Therefore, as the founding emperor, in order to set a good example for his descendants, York planned to abdicate after the age of five hundred.

And his eldest son, Caesar, has indeed lived up to his and Queen Lucia's expectations over the years.

At that moment, right beside York, his eldest son Caesar stood to one side.

"Let's go!"

"Yes, Father."

York and his eldest son paid their respects to the statue of the dragon god.

He then led Caesar into the teleportation array in the center of the temple square.

The teleportation array flashed with light.

The next moment, in the blink of an eye, York and Caesar found themselves in the square of another mysterious place.

Dragon Island!

Yes, York and Caesar arrived at Dragon Island, which was currently floating in the ocean off the continent of Calter.

Standing atop the teleportation array, one can overlook the land.

The first impression of Dragon Island is that it is spacious and pristine.

Here, the trees reach for the sky, and the place is peaceful and serene.

At that moment, right beside York, his eldest son Caesar was curiously observing the land before them.

Suddenly, from one side of the plaza, a Saint-level dragon transformed into human form and descended.

"Greetings, Your Majesty York."

"Greetings, Your Highness Caesar."

"The elders have been waiting for a long time. Please, Your Majesty and Your Highness, accompany me to the Dragon's Nest."

York nodded slightly upon seeing the visitor.

"Then please lead the way."

"please"

And so, not long after, in a temple-like 'Dragon's Nest' hall, the meeting began.

At this moment, York, who was sitting on a high seat, immediately spoke to Amos, the rock-steel dragon, who was in the main seat.

"Lord Amos, how much do you know about the Crimson World?"

Amos smiled slightly upon hearing this, and looked at the crimson figure to the side.

At that moment, Crimson immediately said:
"We may not know more than you, the divine child."

"However, we did hear His Majesty give instructions before he fell into a deep sleep in the past few years: one hundred and twenty years from now, He would embark on a new journey of civilization."

"I just didn't expect the timing to be so precise."

"What, does our Emperor know nothing about this before?"

York smiled helplessly upon hearing this.

"I really didn't know about that."

"I'm not afraid to admit it, Ms. Crimson and everyone else, but I only learned about this when I received a notification from the Association of the Chosen Ones."

"Speaking of which, my good-for-nothing seventeenth daughter's granddaughter seems to have been conscripted as a pioneer of civilization."

Upon hearing this, the fifteen dragon elders all showed a hint of curiosity.

"Oh? I never imagined that His Majesty's bloodline would be so fortunate?"

"I heard that only three low-ranking mortals were selected for this pioneer mission, is that right?"

Hurricane Azure Dragon Sismerton suddenly spoke.

"That's true. The AI ​​Anita has already scanned all the citizens of the empire, and there are indeed only three citizens who have disappeared without a trace within the empire's borders."

"His Majesty the Emperor's favor remains undiminished; it's quite remarkable that your bloodline has encountered such a rare occurrence."

"However, to be honest, the risks of a low-level being are certainly not small. I wonder if Your Majesty's descendant has awakened the dragon bloodline?"

On one side, the ocean blue dragon Melanie suddenly spoke up and asked a question.

York didn't hesitate at all, and smiled slightly.

"To be honest, my bloodline is not bad. After reaching adulthood, it has already awakened a thin layer of rock dragon bloodline."

"Although it is only a diluted bloodline of the weak dragon level, its second-tier strength should not be much of a problem when facing ordinary fourth-tier beings."

Upon hearing York's words, the red dragon, Crimson, gave a disgruntled smile.

"Tch, Your Majesty, you really love to show off. A weak dragon-level bloodline, do you know how many creatures outside can only dream of having a sub-dragon bloodline?"

"Putting everything else aside, it's been 180 years since we got here on Dragon Island, and we still don't have more than a thousand peripheral members of the dragon bloodline."

York laughed when he heard Crimson say that.

He understood Honglong's personality; after all, they had known each other for many years.

"so far so good."

"Speaking of which, the situation of pure-blooded dragons on Dragon Island is actually quite good now."

"If I remember correctly, there should be 112 pure-blooded dragons now, right?"

One hundred and twelve means one hundred and twelve dragons of the Saint rank or above.

Now, all fifteen so-called dragon elders here have long since reached the demigod level.

With their high-ranking bloodline, these fifteen dragon elders were all no weaker than ordinary weak gods.

"Alright, let's get down to business. We won't go into any more of this."

"The war of civilizations is clearly imminent, and whether these three little guys succeed or not this time, the war of civilizations will not be delayed much."

"Let's hear His Majesty's thoughts first."

At that moment, the silver dragon Camilla suddenly interjected.

Faced with Camilla's direct approach, the other dragons had no objections and all looked at York with serious expressions.

Upon hearing this, York's expression immediately turned serious.

Then he spoke:

"Then I will tell you everything I know."

"First of all, according to the information we have obtained through the Association of the Chosen Ones, the three Imperial Pioneers selected so far are all of low-level strength."

"It is known that there is one divinely favored professional, one intelligent mechanical industry student, and one dragon descendant from a branch of the imperial family."

"And the world they live in is called the Crimson World."

"The world"

York quickly revealed everything he knew.

As the dragons listened to York's explanation, their expressions changed from serious at first to relaxed in the end. "Heh, what a Crimson World. I think the three little ones should be fine in this kind of world for the foreseeable future."

"That's for sure. After all, according to the message sent back by the Chosen Ones, the strength of all the vampires in that world was limited by unknown rules."

"Moreover, the human condition is full of suffering, which makes it convenient for spreading faith."

"So, perhaps once there are enough native beings with faith, the conditions for establishing a stargate will be met."

"Furthermore, according to the divine deity of the chosen ones, even if the conditions for establishing the star gate are not met, more and more people from our world will be able to teleport there in the future, and the restrictions will naturally become lower and lower."

"That's really great news!"

The black dragon looked very pleased, clearly eager to try out its power in another world.

"Based on the information we have so far, the situation is indeed good."

"But don't forget the unique aspects of this world; in short, be fully prepared."

"We need not concern ourselves with matters of the divine realm for the time being, as these are not things we can interfere with."

"But on the Empire's side, I think Your Majesty also needs to let more people practice in virtual reality in advance. Of course, I will also let our Dragon Clan practice more with them."

Amos suddenly said in a deep voice.

"I do have some ideas about the Empire."

"The Chosen Ones can obtain real-time information about the opposing vampires, so the Empire can also have the AI ​​Anita adjust the virtual reality opponents in coordination."

"Therefore, you don't need to worry about this."

York said with a confident expression.

"Therefore, if any of you have news of His Majesty's awakening, please inform me immediately."

"That way, I can make arrangements more quickly."

"It's natural."

"."

The meeting was brief, and the content of the discussion was limited.

But this indirectly kept all the people of the Star Empire busy.

Once the Empire has conducted the training, it will immediately begin more frequent training missions.

Meanwhile, on the outer reaches of the stars, the three 'Death Star' colonies already established on the Celestial Empire's world of Calth will accelerate the production of various war machines.

Today, the Star Empire has already made significant breakthroughs in the field of omnics.

More than twenty of these prototype superconducting starships bearing the magic imprint have now been built throughout the empire.

Although the stability of some starships still needs to be improved.

However, as a weapon of wide-area destruction, the main cannon of the Magic Starship is sufficient.

As for more sophisticated unmanned machines and small killing machines, these empires also have large stockpiles.

This was to prepare for a war of civilizations.

Clearly, the Star Empire has already made all the necessary preparations.

Once the war begins, the Star Empire will let other civilizations experience firsthand the power of the magical industrial achievements they have developed over the past 120 years.

the other side.

——————.

"Thirty days was truly agonizing!"

"Thankfully, the simulation day is finally over! Hopefully, nothing goes wrong!"

On one side of Blue Star, a young man in his twenties was carefully watching the time approach the final moment.

Soon after, the results of his calculations came out!
[Congratulations to the player for successfully completing the third day of the simulation, with an excellent rating. You have received a random mid-tier item reward from the targeted dungeon.]

[Item Distribution: Meditation Necklace]

(Meditation Necklace - Intermediate: Increases mana recovery speed by 35% and mana cultivation speed by 35% after casting spells.)
[Congratulations to the player for completing the first step of the special mission "Pioneers of Civilization" in the mid-day simulation, spreading faith in the gods. You have now joined the "Dragon Cult" and gained the devout faith of over 300 people and the general faith of over 1,200 people.]

[Number of believers: 1614, rated as excellent.]

You have received a reward of +16 to your job level, which you can claim at any time after entering the game.

???

Are you kidding me?
1,600 believers? Plus a level 16 reward?
Is this what a 200% rating bonus is?
In the 'game world', Hean suddenly awoke in a house, his expression filled with excitement.

"Claim it!!! I want to claim my job level reward!"

At this moment, only Hean was in the house.

Therefore, he couldn't wait to claim the 100-day reward as soon as he entered the game.

And then, in the next moment...

Suddenly, a large amount of magic was being drawn away from the house where Hean was located.

This process is almost invisible to ordinary people.

But the other two members of the Star Empire were clearly visible.

"What happened? What is Hean up to?"

Potter was just about to rest when he was startled awake by the gathering of magic nearby.

It was as if he had thought of something.

Potter immediately rushed out of the room.

At that moment, he immediately encountered Princess Helen.

"Uh, you felt it too?"

Potter looked at Helen and said.

"It would be strange if I didn't know about such a massive and unusual gathering of magical power."

"It seems that Hean has broken through."

"Come on, let's go take a look."

"Of course we have to take a look. Let's hurry. I have a feeling this isn't what you'd expect from a breakthrough to the first tier."

"."

So the two of them quickly arrived at Hean's door.

As luck would have it, the Hermann Gate was not locked at that moment.

Therefore, Potter simply knocked on the door, and the door opened.

That's the downside of working-class neighborhoods; even in better brick houses, the privacy offered by wooden doors is practically nonexistent.

in this way.

The moment the door opened, the two immediately saw a powerful gust of air suddenly rising from Hean, who was sitting on the bed.

"Hehean, you've broken through???"

Potter looked at Hean with a look of utter disbelief.

At this moment, He'an, who had just completed his breakthrough, exuded a holy aura of a priest, which gave people a particularly peaceful feeling.

Hean opened his eyes.

"He broke through, and he's already at level 33 of the third tier!"

Hean spoke as if it were no big deal.

The two people at the door were stunned.

"Level 3?"

"You're already at Tier 3??? Weren't you only Tier 1, Level 17 before???"

"Damn, it's only been about a hundred days and you've already broken through two levels?"

"Is the divine favor of all those favored by the gods this intense?"

Porter is starting to lose his composure!
How could someone advance from level one to level three in just 100 days?
Are you kidding me?

For ordinary cultivators, let alone advancing from the first to the third rank in a hundred days, even with constant fortuitous encounters, it would take at least three years at the lower ranks.

"So, this is the power of those favored by the gods?"

"That's truly enviable."

Helen was surprised, but her gaze also held a hint of envy.

"so far so good."

"Perhaps it's because of the lower rank that the advancement was faster."

"Moreover, we did a really good job on this pioneer mission, which is why I was able to receive such divine grace directly, unlike you who rely on your own strength to gain power."

Porter: "."

Helen: "."
