Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1741 - 849: Ruins Market Over-Spec Transaction (Part 2)

"I offer two supreme treasures in exchange for an opportunity that can aid me in breaking through to the Tenth Rank Myth!"

The market instantly descended into turmoil the moment those words were uttered.

"Heavens! A Seven-Colored Energy Core and Titan Ancestor Blood—is he truly prepared to part with them?"

"It appears this Titan has been languishing at the Ninth Rank Peak for far too long; otherwise, the thought of trading his Ancestor Blood would never have crossed his mind..."

"Even so, where does one simply find the resources required to ascend to the Myth rank?"

While various alien races engaged in heated discussion, two figures actually emerged from the throng.

Song Chi’s gaze shifted, filled with uncertainty.

He understood perfectly well what it signified for someone to reveal themselves at a time like this.

'Is it possible that resources capable of assisting a Myth breakthrough actually exist here?'

Before he could ponder further, the two individuals stepped out from the vibrant crowd, causing the entire market to fall into an immediate hush.

The figure on the left wore a Star Robe and bore the mark of a purple moon upon his brow. He exuded a faint Ninth Rank pressure, clearly identifying him as a Ninth Rank powerhouse.

Standing on the right was a sharp-featured Seventh Rank Half-Rodent Person. Song Chi was quite acquainted with this being; as a regular visitor to the market for over ten millennia, Song Chi retained a vivid memory of him.

This individual originated from the Divine Domain Continent. He had first appeared in the market at the Third Rank, gradually evolving into the Seventh Rank Dominator he was today.

However, Song Chi’s primary interest lay in whether the other truly possessed super-rank resources to facilitate a breakthrough to Myth.

"I possess a 'Star Core’s Tear,' which allows one to briefly glimpse the threshold separating the Ninth Rank from the Myth rank."

The expert in the Star Robe opened his hand to reveal a liquid drop resembling a diamond, within which a Star River seemed to swirl.

"Ha, a Star Core’s Tear merely provides a momentary boost to comprehension, increasing the success rate by less than twenty percent."

The Ninth Rank Titan let out a dismissive sneer that vibrated through the air. Despite the two supreme treasures on offer, he was clearly unimpressed by the Star Core’s Tear.

His attention shifted to the Half-Rodent Person, who raised a hand, summoning a pitch-black fruit that drifted into the air.

"What I hold is the 'Abyss Divine Shedding Fruit,' nurtured by the corrupted divine blood of a fallen Abyss Demon God. Consuming this can increase the probability of a Myth breakthrough by thirty percent. As for the price..."

The Seventh Rank Half-Rodent Person left the sentence hanging. Nevertheless, the Ninth Rank Titan was evidently familiar with the specifics of the Abyss Divine Shedding Fruit and its potential side effects, as a trace of conflict appeared in his eyes.

The Star Core’s Tear was gentle but offered limited results;

The Abyss Divine Shedding Fruit was more potent, yet it carried the risk of being seduced by a Demon God, potentially turning the consumer into a thrall of the Bottomless Abyss.

As the Titan wavered, a strange expression crossed Song Chi’s mind first.

Upon seeing the Abyss Divine Shedding Fruit, he became certain of the rumors surrounding the Divine Domain Continent that backed the Half-Rodent Person.

When an Abyssal Devil Race had previously emerged from the Emperor Ruins Source Stone provided by the other, he had already suspected that the Divine Domain Continent might be facing an incursion from the Bottomless Abyss. This now appeared to be fully verified.

Furthermore, the crucial point was that the Divine Domain Continent was clearly more resilient than he had initially guessed. To survive a profound invasion and likely cause the fall of an Abyss Demon God suggested it was at least a Tenth Rank Star Continent.

While his thoughts raced, the Ninth Rank Titan of the Overlord Tribe finally reached a decision.

"Very well, I shall take the Abyss Divine Shedding Fruit!"

He spoke, tossing the Titan Ancestor Blood to the Seventh Rank Half-Rodent Person first. Only after the Half-Rodent Person had placed the Abyss Divine Shedding Fruit into his hand did he throw the Origin Core over as well.

Observing the transaction—which had spanned several hours—conclude so abruptly and decisively, the surrounding alien races were struck by a sense of disbelief and amazement.

Song Chi, however, had foreseen this outcome.

The seduction of an Abyss Demon God is indeed fearsome, but one must not forget that the Titan Giant Race is naturally endowed with immense spiritual fortitude. Furthermore, the Overlord Tribe had previously acquired the Star River Soul Net from him in exchange for Primordial Emperor Insect Amber.

With a Five-Colored Group Divine Soul Connecting Marvel capable of linking tens of thousands of High-Rank Titans, and the fact that the Overlord Tribe was overseen by a Mythical Titan King, Song Chi did not believe this Ninth Rank Titan would succumb to the whispers of the Abyss Demon God.

Since even an observer like himself was aware of these factors, the Ninth Rank Titan surely required no further reassurance.

Song Chi even suspected the Titan had feigned his hesitation simply to ensure the Seventh Rank Half-Rodent Person did not back out of the deal.

Once the trade was finalized, the gathered alien races began to scatter quickly.

Nonetheless, as the Lord of All Heavens Ruins Market, Song Chi kept his focus entirely on the individual in the Star Robe.

Although this person was a Ninth Rank Dominator, they were not a known entity in the market, having appeared for the first time during this specific transaction.

Song Chi was uncertain of the stranger's identity, but this had nothing to do with any disguise. As the Lord of All Heavens Ruins Market, no concealment could hide a person's true nature from him.

What Song Chi failed to recognize was the individual's race itself.

The database of the Torch Civilization contained absolutely no mention of such a species.

The Shattered Starry Sea is immense, and even the current Ten Great Dominator Civilizations cannot claim to have mapped every corner of the Starry Sea; such mysteries are not uncommon.

As the mystical energies of the market surged around him, Song Chi reverted to his original form.

To be precise—Torch Civilization · Beidou Seven Stars Hall · Greedy Wolf Star Lord · Song Chi.

This indicated that his subsequent actions would be taken as Song Chi of the Dragon Spine Song Family.

"Please, wait a moment!"

At the sound of the call from behind, the figure in the Star Robe halted.

As the stranger turned, Song Chi took the chance to step forward.

"Greetings. Allow me to introduce myself: I am Song Chi, a Ninth Rank Superdimensional Captain of the Overlord-level Torch Civilization within the Shattered Starry Sea."

"Star Moon Universe Civilization—Yue Feng."

"Star Moon Universe Civilization?" Song Chi’s eyes glowed as he searched his memories for any mention of that unfamiliar name.

A moment later, he confirmed he had never encountered any information regarding them. Even the deepest archives of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong held no record of such a civilization.

"Lord Yue Feng, might we have a word in private?" Song Chi offered a faint smile, revealing a unique golden stone shard within his palm.

"I find myself quite intrigued by the 'Star Core’s Tear' you possess."

Yue Feng’s purple, moon-like eyes shimmered slightly. After a brief silence, he nodded: "Very well."

The two vanished in a blur, leaving the crowded Free Stall Area and reappearing in a secluded room on the first floor of the Ruin Market Inn.

The rooms within the Ruin Market Inn were designed to block all forms of surveillance.

"That 'Star Core’s Tear' in your possession—would you be willing to trade it?" Song Chi asked, getting straight to the point.

Yue Feng shook his head.

"That item is of equal importance to my own people. I only brought it out because of the exceptional Origin Core that Titan offered."

Song Chi remained unfazed. He tapped his finger against the table, allowing a thread of Spectral Energy to dance across his palm.

The golden stone shard appeared in his hand once more.

Upon seeing the fragment, a brief flash of brilliance crossed Yue Feng’s eyes. Although he hid it well, it did not escape Song Chi’s notice.

The golden stone shard was a product of the Origin Star; technically, it was a "Golden Rule Fragment," housing a sliver of Golden Rule Origin.

Yue Feng’s eyes remained fixed on the stone in Song Chi’s hand, his purple pupils narrowing slightly.

"This is..."

His voice carried an uncharacteristic tremor.

The corners of Song Chi’s mouth turned up slightly.

"A Golden Rule Fragment."

The air within the room seemed to stand still for a heartbeat.

Yue Feng inhaled deeply, his Star Robe billowing as if caught in an invisible wind.

"Where did you find such a thing?"

"That is irrelevant!"

Song Chi manipulated the golden fragment with his fingers, letting it spin in his palm.

"What matters is its worth to you, which I believe is no less than that of the 'Star Core’s Tear'."

Yue Feng’s breathing grew noticeably heavier, and the purple moon symbol on his forehead began to pulse.

"You desire the Star Core’s Tear?" His voice was low and controlled.

Song Chi drew out his words, maintaining direct eye contact with the stranger.

"You already know the answer to that!"
