Chapter 748 - Wanting to be a Holy Descendant!

"You can’t...she has nothing to do with this!"

Anastasia looked towards her father like he was a foreign being, her heart tearing in pain at even the thought of Anna going through something that even she ran away from.

Yet the Holy Emperor of the Expansive Dragon Cl.u.s.ter remained impassive as his expression was stout, even though one could see deep in his eyes there was also a tinge of pain! But this hidden emotion was quickly suppressed as he continued!

"All of the major Ancient Powers are aware that Cataclysm is coming, and only the strongest will survive. Many have already began forming connections as they share the knowledge of their Sages and Great Sages. Around us, all we have are enemies as the Aileron Race of the Primal Winged Expanse are our only allies."

RUMBLE!

His words carried immense weight as he talked of another Ancient Power, his words resounded as Anastasia trembled at the memories that returned at the mention of these beings.

"The Ailerons are an extremely proud race, your actions of deserting their Aileron Prince nearly breaking apart thousands of years worth of work. But just like you...the Prince of the Primal Winged Expanse sired a child, a son! So the joining of the two powers by blood will resume through this!"

"No, Father! She has nothing to do with this! I will do it, I will marry that winged bastard and complete the pact set forth, but Anna cannot be thrown to them! She is your granddaughter...please..."

Anastasia went towards her father as she clutched onto his robe pleadingly, her knees on the floor as the regal majesty she always had was gone.

"You are a Holy Princess, and you had your duties. As your daughter, as someone of my blood, she will also have to bear some of the responsibility and duty, let her know of this!"

The voice of the Holy Emperor continued to resound, getting softer near the end as the coldness contained a hint of sadness!

"We are rulers. We have countless trillions to think about, we have the legacies of Sages that sacrificed their lives for us to live on. I cannot let down my forefathers, even if the happiness of my family is the price to pay. This is final, and cannot be changed! Both of you will make yourself present during the Holy Descendants Selection tomorrow to officially announce your return."

With these words, the Holy Emperor remained in this garden no longer, his figure disappearing as all that was left behind was a distraught Holy Princess that looked forward with an ashen and pained expression! She felt utter and extreme weakness as even with her rank at the Middle Tier of GALAXY Realm, even with her Grand Completion Pets...she still could not do a single thing to get what she wanted.

When it came to Ancient Powers holding legacies of fallen Sages and Great Sages, holding Entities of powerful strength and even hidden beings approaching the strength of Sages themselves...she was utterly weak!

And to be weak in this era...was a sin!

In another location within the Expansive Dragon Cl.u.s.ter, Noah was stepping in as his eyes absorbed all he was seeing in a stellar fashion!

After passing the two boundaries of the Galaxies, the true Expansive Dragon Cl.u.s.ter opened up in front of him as he saw the outlines of numerous galaxies that shimmered with immense light, all of these galaxies surrounding a single area that rejected the darkness of the chaotic void and released stupendous brilliance.

The Dragonoid he followed made his way towards this shining area, the place known as the Expansive Holy Land as Noah passed many unique beings and vessels along the way!

His eyes shimmered with the red light from [Eyes of Truth] as he already began absorbing immense knowledge about his surroundings as he was confident to be more knowledgeable than even the natives here in a matter of time.

"You’re lucky coming in around this time, with the monthly test for beings wishing to be holy descendants actually taking place tomorrow."

The QUASAR ranked Dragonoid spoke as they neared the draconic shaped Expansive Holy Land, Noah’s shining eyes glancing towards him as he asked.

"Anyone can apply for the test?"

"Mostly, but only those receiving recommendations can be tested, and even fewer meet the standards set forth by the Holy Emperor. Here."

The QUASAR Dragonoid entered a certain quadrant of the enormous draconic shaped Expansive Holy Land, this singular small area of this enormous 1000 light-year area seemingly like a huge world of its own as this particular section contained numerous portals that shimmered with a mystical light.

Locations like these were abundant in the Holy Land, causing for easy movement across its large areas instantly with the use of these portals. Noah followed the Dragonoid across multiple portals as they delved deeper into the Holy Land!

He came across many scenes and beings, finding that the distribution of humans and dragonoids were half and half, but the humans seemed to hold much more of a high standing within this Holy Land- which could be explained by how the current ruler was of the human race. There was a deep history about the Expansive Dragon Cl.u.s.ter and its ties to dragons, where even to this day much of the Animus Summons of the powerful beings of this power were dragons.

Noah thought about all of this in passing as he took in the fantastical sights of this Holy Land, truly earning its name as it actually neared his Infinite Galaxy in terms of atmospheric essence!

Even Noah did not catch the arrogance of his thoughts as he compared his growing Infinite Galaxy to this Holy Land as the figure of the Dragonoid he was following finally came to stop as they came through one last portal.

The area they arrived in looked like a world of its own, where Noah knew they were actually in the Head Region of the Expansive Holy Land that was shaped like a dragon. In this area, there weren’t any magnificent houses or vegetation, but only a single structure stood tall in this entire land that was as large as a world!

Noah could only describe this structure as an extremely oversized Coliseum, his aura covertly spreading out as it did not encompass it even after seconds passed.

"This is where the Holy Descendant Selection will take place tomorrow, the Expansive Coliseum. Simply show them your medallion as you will be added among the list of contenders. Oh and the Selection this time is somewhat special as we celebrate the return of our Holy Princess, where even the Holy Emperor will be coming to grace us with his presence during this Selection."

The voice of the Dragonoid carried immense respect and reverence as he said this, Noah pulling his eyes away from the fantastical looking coliseum that he counted over a billion seats in as he paid attention to the words of the guide.

"Oh?"

He had just arrived, and he had already caught on to clues of the taken Anna and the Holy Princess as he would actually be seeing them in just a few hours!

As for the Holy Descendant Selection? It was bound to be glorious as within this Expansive Dragon Cl.u.s.ter...he planned to go wild!
