Chapter 716: Chapter 714: Amber Federation Chapter 716: Chapter 714: Amber Federation The Silent Annihilation of Frost Star, having lost its anchoring support, quickly separated from the Dragon Sleep Continent and then completely vanished amid its intermittent visibility.

The ice-bound age had come to an utter end, and the entire Dragon Sleep Continent was restored to the verdancy of the Dragon Spirit Forest Sea era.

Sunlight was spread evenly across the land.

Melting ice and snow converged into oceans, dividing the Dragon Sleep Continent into several ordinary continents, and even some low-lying countries were directly submerged by the sea, forcing a complete migration to the Amber Dreamland.

The Amber Dreamland is the future, so humanity must not give up on the homeland they’ve inhabited for billions of years.

But the Dragon Sleep Continent is not far from Silent Annihilation.

The cracked earth could not be repaired, the fissures were widening, and magic power was inevitably peeling away from the depths of the earth, leading to a chain reaction of void bubbles. Earthquakes were frequent, tsunamis relentless, and the climate increasingly extreme.

The Ancient Dragon of Freedom, Saiban, became the busiest Ancient Dragon, needing to incessantly provide seeds for every human.

He even provided seeds for the Phantom Beasts.

Helping the Phantom Beasts to also plant Fairy Trees, allowing them to enter the Amber Dreamland and start new lives—of course, when Phantom Beasts “planted trees,” humans needed to guide them, and they often entered as Phantom Beast Knights.

The year 5589 of the Dragon Calendar, this year marked the closing of an old era.

At the Amber Council held in the capital of the Dreamland Kingdom, City of Amber, it was unanimously decided to change the epoch.

Naming the year, two years ago, when the Dreamscape Ancient Dragon awoke and the Amber Dreamland was born, as Amber Year One.

Therefore, this year is Amber Second Year.

The Amber Calendar replaced the Dragon Calendar, becoming the new chronology that humanity followed into rebirth.

After the meeting, Marquis Merlin summarized, “The birth of dragons helped humanity through more than five thousand years of the Warm Age. The Dragon Calendar belongs to Dragon Sleep Continent, even though Dragon Sleep Continent is on the brink of Silent Annihilation.”

He paused.

He continued, “Therefore, the Dragon Calendar will forever remain in Dragon Sleep Continent, but now, humanity’s future lies in the Amber Dreamland. Hence, the Amber Calendar shall become the chronology of the next chapter, growing alongside the Amber Great Tree and accompanying the arrival of the new world!”

The change in the calendar was just a beginning.

Many human nations had already initiated grand migration plans, moving entirely into the ever-expanding Amber Dreamland.

The world had changed, and the national systems of the Dragon Sleep Continent were no longer suitable, so the feudal noble system inherited from the Holy Glint Empire also completely collapsed in the subsequent Amber Year Four.

After a year of discussion and rebuilding.

Humanity decided to establish a republic, completely abolishing the existence of serfdom while preserving the nobility system—a system difficult to sever from the hereditary lineage of dragons, phantom dragons, flying dragons, and pseudo-dragons.

The new country was named the Amber Federation Republic.

The Amber Central Region, ninety volcanic realms, and one snow mountain region became members of the federation.

Among them.

The Amber Federation established two houses for legislation and oversight—the Dragon Upper House and the Knight Lower House.

Members of the Dragon Upper House were all Dragon Knights and Phantom Dragon Knights.

Members of the Knight Lower House were more complex, typically elected, with eligible voters including lords, scholars, Phantom Beast Knights, factory owners, and others with a certain social standing.

The upper and lower houses were only responsible for legislation and oversight; specific administration was led by the Cabinet.

Nobles no longer held the ranks of king and grand duke but were divided into three hereditary ranks: duke, marquis, and baron, as well as life peerages; besides, an honorary emperor position was ultimately established, held by Russell.

Because the three ranks of duke, marquis, and baron were no longer enough to highlight Russell’s status, an honorary emperor for life position was created.

Of course.

Russell did not need the position of Emperor. He had not served in the Dragon Upper House, the Knight Lower House, or the Cabinet. Yet his words were no different from a sacred decree; no one dared to defy him.

However, Russell rarely got involved in the development of the Amber Federation.

He devoted himself to mining the Origin Power of the Dragon Sleep Continent, strengthening Amber Dreamland, and then understanding the Power of Rules, contributing to the separation of Amber Dreamland from the Dragon Sleep Continent.

Hoo-la.

In a place beyond the heavens, Russell appeared in the form of dreams, with the Amber Great Tree, rooted in the atmosphere of Dragon Star, behind him.

The Little Dream Dragon perched atop the Amber Great Tree, yawning, while the Little Fire Dragon sat on Russell’s shoulder, gazing at the starry sky.

Suddenly.

Russell opened his eyes, casting two sharp beams of light as he looked onto the pitch-black backdrop of space. Before long, within this pitch-black backdrop, emerged a colossal, splendid, but dying Universal Tree.

Its roots stretched into the vast cosmos, with branches extending across countless galaxies, each leaf representing an extraordinary planet.

But the Universal Tree was dead, a myriad of leaves detaching from the extraordinary worlds, causing one extraordinary world after another to silently perish.

“This is Frost Star… a completely annihilated Frost Star,” Russell’s gaze pierced the infinite distance, locking onto a shedding leaf near which was Frost Star, which lost all its color.

Then, following the location of Frost Star, his glance shifted to another extraordinary planet not far away, also on the verge of losing its leaf.

“According to the knowledge left by the Eternal Seven Elders, the next target of the Eternal Frost Star Plan is this world called ‘Starlight Eternal,'” Russell could only gaze from afar at this unknown world, for now.

Meanwhile, the Amber Federation was already hastening technological development, preparing to anchor to this world of Starlight Eternal.

After gazing for a moment.

Russell shifted his gaze from the dying Universal Tree’s roots, whose light was dimmed, long withered.

“How exactly did the Universal Tree die?” Just as this question emerged in his mind, Russell suddenly noticed something in the distant pitch-black space—the roots of the Universal Tree seemed to have tiny white points moving.

“What is that?”

With such doubt, Russell peered into the distance.

The leaves of the Amber Great Tree rustled gently behind him, and Russell felt as if his sight could bridge infinite time and space, closely observing the roots of the Universal Tree and then seeing those white points clearly.

Those were massive white worm monsters.

Their bodies, spanning millions of miles like dragons, burrowed through the cosmos, then frantically gnawed on the roots of the Universal Tree.

“Hiss!”

Russell took in a sharp breath.

Even separated by an infinite distance, he could still sense the terror of these worm monsters, “If they encounter Dragon Sleep Continent, they could devour it in minutes; so terrifying!”

So, it was these worm monsters that had killed the Universal Tree.

“Indeed, there’s nothing eternally indestructible, even the Universal Tree, such a towering form of life, cannot withstand certain calamities… Ice Cream, Shadowflame, our Amber Dreamland has not come easily; we must be cautious, then cautious again!”

Withdrawing his gaze, he dispelled the dreamland.

Russell awoke from the crown of the Amber Great Tree, swiftly warning his Ancient Dragon companions in spirit.

“They are strong, but we can continue to grow!” declared the Flame Ancient Giant Dragon, fearlessly resolute.

The Little Dream Dragon lifted its head proudly, “If those weird bugs dare to come over, I’ll dare to eat them, just like I ate those Frost Titans!”

Saying so, it even licked its tongue.

Russell was amused by this, but he quickly turned serious again, “Accelerate your growth, and once the Amber Great Tree separates from Dragon Sleep Continent, we will wander the cosmos, away from the remnants of the Universal Tree, to prevent a resurgence of the pestilence.”
