Chapter 317
In a large spire that connected to a platform embedded in the clouds, a colossal form was slumbering. This huge monstrosity was a gigantic chrome-colored Dragon with two horns, spiked ridges, and four muscular legs.
His size easily dwarfed entire countries on Faust. Trying to run around him once would take more than 5 years at a constant speed of 200 km/h.
This slumbering form suddenly jerked as he sensed something that managed to disturb his deep sleep that had lasted for multiple millennia, his eyes opening slowly as he rose to wakefulness.
His kaleidoscopic pupils encompassed all the known colors of the world, displaying vicissitudes and age in them.
The dragon rose to his feet, causing terrible hurricanes and shock waves just from the snapping of his joints and the unfurling of his wings.
He did not take off, for he was aware that doing so would cause unprecedented chaos and carnage to the world of Faust. For this reason, he had chosen to slumber far up in the clouds all these millions of years.
He only bothered to wake up whenever there was a crisis facing the Dragon race, yet this time he woke up because he sensed a bloodline resonance. It was so strong and potent that his heart leapt and excitement filled him, something he had forgotten he was even capable of.
"HAHAHA! FINALLY, AFTER ALL THESE YEARS, I HAVE A DESCENDANT!" He bellowed with glee, causing the entire Unyris continent below him to shake at its core.
All the legendary and mythological beasts that made Unyris their home shook their entire bodies greatly, almost to the point of rupturing.
As for the many normal beasts that were mixed-blood descendants or just plain behemoths without any supreme ancestry, they keeled over on the spot, their life, and death unknown.
Realizing that his glee had taken the better of him, Yuli'ann quietened down and sat on his paunches as he waited patiently. In no time, three Dragons of different colors flew up to his Dragonperch and bowed before him.
The leftmost Dragon was a female with bright white scales that radiated holiness and purity, her sharp green eyes and yellow horns marking her as a beauty among dragonkind.
The center dragon had pitch-black scales, red eyes, and dark blue horns. He was sleek and menacing, looking like a handsome badboy among dragons.
The rightmost dragon was green in color, having light blue eyes and ruby-colored horns that gleamed in the light. It was another male that looked softer and gentler, like a nerdy boy who was quite cute.
The three of them quickly called out: "Great Ancestor!"
Their voices were reverent as this was the first time they had been blessed with the opportunity to encounter the Ancestor awake, and his power left them feeling weak to their souls. Just one of his eyes was already larger than their entire bodies, when each one of them could flatten an entire town by simply dropping on top!
Yuli'ann observed the trio for a minute before speaking. "So, you must be the highest-ranking Ancient Dragons of this era. Good, your bloodlines are quite potent and there are no flaws in your elemental control. I am heartened."
The three were extremely pleased by this praise. After all, to the Ancestor, they were just some random descendants millions of years down the line. To actually leave him pleased at their purity when bloodlines usually thinned out with time proved just how powerful the Dragon race was!
"Ancestor, is there anything you need from us now that you've awakened?" The Green Dragon asked carefully.
Yuli'ann nodded slowly, making sure not to create another whirlwind by its movement. "That's right. I've sensed that somewhere in this world a descendant of mine who has fully awakened the Primordial blood has been born."
The trio were first utterly shocked then stupendously excited. A Dragon that could possess the Ancestor's bloodline but still remain in the world would allow the Dragon race to wield enough power to conquer and unify all Faust!
"Were you able to sense their exact location, Ancestor?" The Black Dragon asked cleverly.
"Unfortunately, no. I only felt the existence of the bloodline resonance, but the feeling is too weak to give away his location. I don't even remember how this bloody world looks like since I was sent here by that damned Goddess." Yuli'ann lamented with dissatisfaction.
The three Ancient Dragons looked between each other in dismay. Without any type of lead, searching through the entirety of Faust would take them decades if they were lucky, more than likely it would take them centuries.
Yuli'ann recognized their dilemma and smiled with amusement. "What's the rush? After awakening my bloodline, my descendant will even manage to outlive you lot. Just take your time and search for them, there's no rush."
The three Dragons understood this, but the White Dragon couldn't help but let her concerns be known.
"We understand your meaning Ancestor, but the reason we wish to hurry is in fear that some accident might befall the Young Ancestor."
The other two nodded in agreement, sharing the same concern and sentiment. If something were to happen to the Young Ancestor while they were casually searching around, it would be a great loss to the entire race!
None of them wanted to even think about what their Great Ancestor might do if he got enraged by it.
Yuli'ann merely showed an expression of boredom. "Impossible. With my bloodline, his ability to regenerate and survive catastrophes is far beyond your understanding. It would require at least a Fake Lord of Faust to directly act, and how many would dare to go against me."
Once the Ancestor put it like this, even if they had any more concerns, the trio could only bow down their heads and carry out his orders.
Although the Ancestor claimed there was no need to rush, he didn't forbid them to hurry it up a little.
After all, the faster they could find the Young Ancestor, the quicker they could integrate him into the race and pave his way forward.
Once the trio left, Yuli'ann settled down and prepared to enter slumber once more. Not being able to move on this fragile world made him feel stifled, so sleep was his only respite as he dove into the memories of the universe he hailed from, and his friends and family there who were waiting for him to finish his task here.
