Capítulo 1737: Chapter 847: [Mythic War] _2
Due to these circumstances, the Mirror Image Warship Fleet has encountered more peril in the last few decades than in the preceding several hundred years. Even the duplicated “Time Chess Board” is down to its final seven uses of the “Twelve Lives Life and Death Chess,” yet Song Chi harbors no regrets. The Origin Star possesses a diameter rivaling a River System Community within the Shattered Starry Sea; thus, the small regions typically explored by those below the mythical level are essentially negligible.
To put it plainly, the untapped zones are the ones that hold genuine value, concealing a vast treasury of precious resources.
On this occasion, Song Chi has set his sights on the Crevice Area for his expedition.
The Mirror Image Warship descends through a massive fissure in the crust into the “Time Abyss.” Utilizing the replicated “Eye of Truth,” Song Chi maintains a constant watch over the stunning environment surrounding him—
The canyon is entirely formed from countless fragmented space-time mirrors, each displaying reflections of various exploration parties from different epochs of the Origin Star. As the vessel navigates through the seventh layer of space-time folds, it suddenly picks up three distinct pulses of mythical energy.
Within the control center of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, located in the Zhu Tian Ruins Market Firmament, Song Chi’s expression instantly turns sharp.
At the lowest depths of the trench, nestled within a dark fissure saturated with time rupture rules—a dimensional pocket seemingly belonging to a bygone era—floats a crystalline dais. There, three formidable figures stand in silent opposition from their respective corners.
To the left stands a mechanical lifeform forged from dark purple alloy and crystal. Quantum runes ripple across its frame, and with every movement, it leaves behind a fleeting “data afterimage” in the fabric of space-time.
This is Heavenly Destruction, a mythical entity from the Creation Mechanical Civilization; its advanced processor is armed with a logic virus capable of altering the laws of reality.
On the right side, a nine-headed time-space worm lies coiled. Each of its heads represents a unique flow of time, while the primary head appears translucent and “void-like,” as if it might slip out of the current timeline at any moment.
This unique being is the Mother of Time Erosion, a tenth-rank mythical unit that sustains itself by consuming Time Law and Rules.
Nonetheless, Song Chi’s attention is primarily fixed on the third entity standing apart from the others.
It is a humanoid figure draped in gray robes, its features obscured by a thick haze of time. In its right hand, it grips a weathered, rust-eaten Bronze Hall Gate.
Dimensional coordinates are etched densely across the gate’s surface, and every minor vibration it emits triggers a chain reaction of collapses among the nearby space-time mirrors.
“Broken Door of the Temple of Time…” Song Chi’s eyes narrow.
Through the power of the replicated “Eye of Truth,” he immediately identifies the nature of the Bronze Hall Gate—it is a remnant portal linked to the ruins of the Time Divine Hall.
His ability to recognize the gate’s origin so rapidly isn't solely due to the replicated “Eye of Truth” or his eighth-rank Heavy Pupil; it is mostly because Song Chi already holds an item tied to that very place—the Key of Time Divine Hall Inheritance.
Having retrieved the Key of Time Divine Hall Inheritance from the depths of the fractured River of Time millennia ago without ever finding the hall itself, he realizes that securing this Bronze Hall Gate would vastly improve his odds of finding the Temple in the future.
Furthermore, an irregular polyhedral crystal hovers at the center of this three-way standoff.
Sealed inside the crystal is a single droplet of silver-white fluid. When external energy touches the crystal’s exterior, it projects phantom images of civilizations spanning numerous eras.
“Time Source Liquid!” Song Chi’s breath hitches.
This resource belongs to the same class as a Time Source Crystal; both are capable of actively reducing the cooldown periods of Starry Sea Oddity functions. However, unlike the solid Time Source Crystal, this liquid form is created when a crystal undergoes liquefaction under specific conditions. Song Chi calculates that the amount of Time Source Liquid in that polyhedron would require the refinement of at least one ton of Time Source Crystal.
A single ton of Time Source Crystal can shave a million years off a cooldown, making its worth immeasurable. Clearly, all three entities are vying for it.
Just as the rune-covered tendrils of Heavenly Destruction reach out aggressively toward the polyhedral crystal, the gray-robed figure raises the Bronze Hall Gate.
A silent wave of time ripples outward, paralyzing the Heavenly Destruction Divine Machine of the Creation Mechanical Civilization and causing its quantum runes to freeze in place.
“Time Freeze…” Song Chi is struck with alarm.
Even though the Mirror Image Warship is hidden deep within the void, far from the dais, he can feel a strange sluggishness through the mental link in the ship’s cockpit!
While this slowing effect is almost unnoticeable thanks to the replicated “Time Chess Board,” he remembers that the Void Warehouse’s remote collection ability depends on influencing the target's specific void. Song Chi is uncertain if the Time Freeze will interfere with it.
“I cannot force this.”
Song Chi swiftly changes his plan. Both the Time Source Liquid and the Broken Door of the Temple of Time are too vital to risk losing on a gamble.
He carefully guides the Mirror Image Warship into the shadows of the space-time folds while readying the replicated Void Warehouse to draw power.
At the same time, his Ethereal Body inside the warship produces the Ruins Market Projection Rank, prepared to trigger it at a moment's notice.
With his preparations complete, Song Chi waits for the three mythical beings on the platform to clash.
Hailing from rival factions, these three could never agree to share the prize, making a mythic-level battle inevitable.
As he foresaw, the conflict soon erupts.
A blast of cosmic breath, originally aimed at the gray-robed figure, suddenly swerves to strike the quantum shield of the Heavenly Destruction Divine Machine.
The runes on the mechanical titan flicker violently, forcing it to stop its attempt to claim the Time Source Liquid.
Simultaneously, the gray-robed figure strikes. The temporal energy of the Bronze Hall Gate swells to a terrifying level, nearly halting time in the surrounding area. Seizing the moment, an arm made of gray mist extends from the robes, reaching for the polyhedral crystal.
Just as the figure is about to grasp the Time Source Liquid, a cold light flashes in Song Chi’s eyes!
“The moment is here!”
The Mirror Image Warship’s replicated Void Warehouse activates, using high-tier space law to rip open an invisible crack above the crystalline dais.
However, just as the suction force begins to pull at the Time Source Liquid, the gray-robed figure suddenly looks up—
“Who is there!”
The Bronze Hall Gate erupts with a blinding light, seemingly pausing the entire space-time fold. The Mirror Image Warship’s engines seize up, and even the Void Warehouse’s extraction beam slows to a crawl.
Song Chi’s heart pounds.
The entity’s mastery over time is far greater than he imagined, capable of even hindering high-tier space law!
Of course, this is partly because the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong is currently only a ninth-rank Torch Warship, but Song Chi has no time to dwell on that.
In an instant, he activates the Ruins Market Projection Rank without hesitation.
Hum—
Tendrils of purple mist erupt from the Mirror Image Warship, manifesting a projection of the Zhu Tian Ruins Market above the Time Crevice.
Though the projection takes longer than usual to form, Song Chi’s earlier activation of the Dao Origin Totem Pole ensures the mythic projection has enough power to momentarily distract the gray-robed figure.
“Boom!”
Exploiting this distraction, the replicated Heavenly Authority Control Ring glows with a three-colored radiance.
“Absolute Enslavement” manifests as blood-red chains, shooting forward to pierce the leftmost head of the Mother of Time Erosion.
The time-space worm screeches in agony. With the temporary hundredfold success rate from the Light of Slavery, even this mythical beast’s mind wavers. All nine of its heads begin to vomit corrosive time acid, striking both the gray-robed figure and the Heavenly Destruction Divine Machine indiscriminately.
