NOVEL NEXT Chapter150-The Zisen Holy Empire
"Chairman, should we send someone to check it out?"
In a hall of the Starfield Council, a servant respectfully inquired.
The chairman on the main seat narrowed his gaze thoughtfully.
"Let's observe for now. From scattered intel, it appears that there are at least two Sanctuary Lord rank beings in that starfield."
Upon hearing this, the servant immediately stiffened.
Indeed, he had almost forgotten this crucial point.
Two Sanctuary Lord rank beings!
As far as he knew, even their council, which had lasted for thousands of years, could not boast such top-tier combat strength on the surface!
Sanctuary Lord rank beings were the benchmark for determining whether a force could truly be considered a top power.
Without one, no matter how strong a faction was, it would always remain in the lower echelons.
...
Far, far away from the Alpha Starfield, in the depths of space,
There existed another incredibly powerful starfield—Zisen Starfield!
This starfield, with its overwhelming power, had absolute dominion over nearby realms, its territory thousands of times larger than that of ordinary starfields!
And the entire Zisen Starfield was governed by one supreme ruler—the Zisen Holy Empire!
It was an existence so vast and terrifying that even Sanctuary Lord rank beings had to be careful and humble within its borders.
In the depths of the palace, exuding an air of nobility and authority,
A four-winged Astral Ancient Dragon, its scales shimmering with divine light, lowered its head into a pool, greedily drinking.
Like a whirlpool drawing water, the sacred spring's surface dropped rapidly.
Burp!
After a moment, Fiona raised her head, letting out a satisfied burp.
At that moment, a palace guard clad in radiant golden armor approached her and respectfully saluted.
"Lady Fiona, the princess is looking for you."
Fiona froze.
"Miss Lilith is looking for me?"
Without hesitation, she immediately set off.
Passing through the magnificent columns, Fiona arrived at Lilith's chamber.
Seeing her meditating, Fiona cautiously spoke up.
"Miss Lilith, you called for me?"
Upon hearing the voice, Lilith slowly opened her eyes, her starborn-like gaze carrying a hint of helplessness.
"You greedy fool of a dragon, is there anything else you can store in that head of yours besides food?"
Lilith scolded her with a sigh.
Since arriving at the Zisen Holy Empire, Fiona's life had mostly been about eating and sleeping.
The only difference now was that she slept a bit less than she ate.
However, her strength was growing rapidly, and she had already reached Supreme Sanctuary rank.
Among the entire Zisen Starfield, few could rival her.
Moreover, Fiona was the only known four-winged Astral Ancient Dragon left in existence, making her terrifyingly powerful.
Fiona had long gotten used to Lilith's teasing. She just gave an awkward smile.
"My dear Miss Lilith, I'm only doing this to accumulate enough power to better protect you."
Lilith snorted.
"Do I still need your protection here?"
"By the way, Fiona, I have a task for you."
"Please, feel free to command me."
Upon hearing this, Fiona grew excited.
Now that her strength had increased, she was eager to showcase her abilities.
Of course, she would never forget her primary responsibility—to protect Lilith!
If anything happened to Lilith, not only would she be concerned about how President Leo would view her, but she would also never forgive herself!
Lilith spoke slowly.
"Go see my mom. Tell her that I want to participate in the conquest of the Skaycon Starfield."
Fiona immediately nodded and accepted her orders.
"Understood. I'll go right away, Miss."
"Mm, go ahead!"
Fiona wasted no time and flew toward the tallest, grandest palace.
Watching her leave, Lilith shook her head lightly.
Her dad, Leo, was ridiculously strong, which was fine, because she had, to some degree, become immune to the miracles he created.
The giant waves in the sea were nothing compared to the vast ocean.
But she hadn't expected her mother, Hathaway's, power to be so terrifying.
When she first arrived at the Zisen Holy Empire, she was indeed shaken. The empire's strength was incomprehensible!
If it weren't for her father's presence, forces like Dalton couldn't possibly stand against the entire Holy Empire.
More importantly, her mother wasn't as gentle as her father.
The Zisen Holy Empire was always at war, either conquering or on the way to conquer.
Countless starfields had already fallen under the empire's iron heel.
Of course, many more starfields had chosen to unite and resist the empire's expansion.
Lilith had no intention of meddling in all of this.
Was she supposed to oppose her mother because of those conquered starfields? Ridiculous!
Her biggest problem right now was...
Life was too peaceful, leaving her with nothing to worry about!
Sigh, such a dull life...
She suddenly began to understand why her father had established Dalton.
...
"Your Majesty, Fiona seeks an audience."
An old official in ceremonial attire respectfully reported.
In the magnificent imperial hall, Empress Hathaway sat atop her throne.
She wore a grand, flowing royal robe, her gaze sharp enough to make anyone too afraid to look her in the eye.
A powerful aura radiated from her, keeping the empire's officials from daring to raise their heads.
This was the Empress of the Zisen Holy Empire!
Upon hearing the official's announcement, Hathaway responded in a calm but authoritative tone.
"Let her in."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Below the throne, many of the empire's ministers secretly speculated.
Fiona.
They knew that she was the princess brought back by the Empress not long ago, accompanied by her pet dragon...
They had heard that it was a rare four-winged Astral Ancient Dragon.
Though they didn't know the specifics of her strength, they assumed she couldn't be that powerful.
After all, dragon warriors were rare, and those who reached Sanctuary Lord rank were even rarer.
Thus, most believed that Fiona was just a rare pet following the princess.
A moment later, Fiona stepped lightly into the hall.
"Greetings, Your Majesty, the Empress."
She respectfully bowed before the throne.
Hathaway nodded slightly, a curious expression on her face.
"Fiona, what brings you here?"
Fiona spoke straightforwardly.
"Your Majesty, regarding the conquest of the Skaycon Starfield, I request permission to join the expedition."
As soon as she finished, the entire hall erupted in surprise.
The Skaycon Starfield!
This was the next target of the empire's conquest, and its strength was considerable.
Even for the Zisen Holy Empire, careful preparations were needed.
Of course, the Skaycon Starfield didn't have the strength to rival the empire; it was simply that the empire had been at war for so long, with its forces spread thin, guarding various starfields.
Even so, if the empire wanted to take a starfield, it could do so, but at a cost.
This was the unmatched strength and foundation of the Zisen Holy Empire!
On her throne, Hathaway nodded.
"I allow you to join this expedition!"
She understood that Fiona's request had come on Lilith's behalf.
Thinking of this, Hathaway's lips curved into a slight, almost imperceptible smile.
