Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1750 - 854: Millennia of History · Clan Evolution

The Chaos Demon Ape’s thunderous roar cut off instantly. From the gash carved by the azure Star Blade, a brilliant, chaotic radiance flared—a clear sign that the [Chaos Mirror Image Stone] was finally being exposed.

"Grab it!"

Inside the chest of the Three Corpses Superstate Mecha, the superdimensional melting furnace suddenly shifted into reverse. A violent suction force erupted, causing the palm-sized chaotic crystal within the Demon Ape to shake uncontrollably. However, the Buddha Light and Mythical Power surrounding the guardian ape surged in a frantic boil, desperately pinning the [Chaos Mirror Image Stone] in place to prevent it from being torn away.

Song Chi held nothing back. Capitalizing on the moment, he triggered the [Void Warehouse] once more, unleashing a fresh, overwhelming Absorbing Force upon the Top Rank [Chaos Mirror Image Stone].

"No!"

A furious bellow thundered from the blackest reaches of the Burial God Abyss: "Stop them at once!"

The Half-Dragon Man Guardian, who had been pinned down by the Profound Yellow Red Yu, suddenly detonated three of its Sharira. The resulting explosion of Buddha Power was enough to shatter the Rule Chains binding it.

On its forehead, a swastika symbol began spinning in reverse, signaling the intent to cast "Fate Reversal," a forbidden technique of the Shi Clan.

"Boom!"

The Shenxia Jiuli Ship moved to dominate the center of the fray. Thousands of Fire Snakes erupted from its massive hull, weaving an airtight 360-degree net of firepower around the Half-Dragon Man Guardian.

"Jiang Yuan!"

The Ancestor Buddha’s voice had lost its composure, now dripping with nothing but rage and bitter resentment:

"I swear by the Great Brahma Heaven, if your Torch Civilization dares to seize this [Chaos Mirror Image Stone], the Overlord Shi Clan will declare eternal war upon you!"

The only reply was a sudden, crushing explosion of Mythical pressure from the Profound Yellow Red Yu. Ji Heng’s silhouette materialized on the bridge, backed by thirty-three layers of celestial phenomena. Each layer carried the phantom weight of Human Emperor City, pressing down with immense force.

"Two thousand years..." Ji Heng’s voice echoed across the void. "Haven’t you bled the Origin Star of enough resources? Why is it that you believe you can plunder and pillage forever, never once considering that you might become the prey?"

As he spoke, the two Mythical Immortal Ship Avatars completely drove back the Half-Dragon Man Guardian. Shortly after, the Three Corpses Superstate Mecha Giant successfully wrenched the Top Rank [Chaos Mirror Image Stone] into its grasp.

Throughout the encounter, not one of them gave the Ancestor Buddha’s threats a second thought.

An endless war might have troubled the Torch Civilization during Jiang Yuan’s early rise. However, with Ji Heng now ascended to the rank of Mythical Immortal Captain, they possessed two Mythical Power entities. The Torch Civilization was no longer fragile. Among the top ten recorded Overlord Civilizations, they could now claim a spot in the middle to lower tiers.

Furthermore, they held a comprehensive alliance with the Wizard Civilization. Though the Shi Clan Civilization was indeed formidable—outstripping the Wizard Civilization by several degrees—launching a total war against the Torch Civilization across a distance of a trillion light-years was a feat they could not yet achieve.

"Withdraw!"

Song Chi and his comrades did not tarry. With the Top Rank [Chaos Mirror Image Stone] secured, all five vessels initiated superluminal jumps simultaneously. Within moments, they had vanished from the Burial God Abyss.

Just as they disappeared, a colossal Buddha Hand rose from the abyss and ignited. Countless distorted faces manifested within the golden Buddha Fire. Had Song Chi been there to see them, he would have recognized the telltale gray mist energy swirling within their eyes.

But the five ships were long gone, leaving the legion of gray-misted faces to retreat back into the depths of the Burial God Abyss in a fit of helpless fury.

A solitary, freezing voice lingered in the emptiness.

"Torch Humanity..."

...

In truth, this was far from the first time Song Chi and his team had successfully hijacked a Top Rank [Chaos Mirror Image Stone].

Over the last two millennia, the Torch Civilization had gathered a wealth of intelligence regarding the Burial God Abyss, previously limited only by their lack of strength.

With Ji Heng’s arrival on the [Profound Yellow Red Yu], the team now boasted two Mythical Immortal Ship Avatars. When combined into the Three Corpses Superstate Mecha Giant alongside three Superdimensional Mother Ship Avatars, they wielded the power of three Mythical entities. Very few foes could now stand in their way.

In the year 2800 following the fall of the Origin Star, the five-man squad successfully intercepted a Seven-Colored Strange Object from two Mythical beings of the Mountain Splitting Clan.

By the year 4000, they had used overwhelming force to obliterate a Tenth Rank Starry Sky Array known as Star-cutting Grass.

In the year 5400, they managed to seize a wisp of Seven-Colored Fire Seed Oddity, though it cost them the destruction of their avatars at the hands of an Eleventh Rank Fire-devouring Giant.

In the year 6000, aided by two Mythical Witch Puppets from the Wizard Civilization, the team ambushed and slew a Mythical Heavenly Dragon Guardian of the Shi Clan, splitting the spoils of its millennia-long hoard.

...

One could say that Ji Heng’s arrival provided the final piece for the Torch Civilization's premier exploration team. In the centuries that followed, they achieved numerous legendary feats involving Mythical-tier treasures.

Of course, despite their triumphs, failures were common. There were many instances where the entire team was wiped out or lost multiple ship avatars. On one occasion, they ran into the Sand Spirit Clan—one of the ten Transcendent Forces. Five Mythical Sand Spirit units utilized a Star Refining Mad Sand Formation to completely annihilate their avatars in under two minutes.

...

On this particular day, another incident occurred, though the complication was limited to Song Chi’s Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong Image Warship.

Taking advantage of the month-long cooldown for [Mirror Image Splitting], Song Chi said his goodbyes to Jiang Yuan and the others. He then utilized the Zhu Tian Ruins Market to return to the Dragon Spine Continent.

Within the Corpse Emperor Clan River System Group lay the Heavenly Corpse River System.

Once considered an unremarkable territory among the ninety-two river systems controlled by the Dragon Spine Song Family, it was known only for its vastness and lack of resources. Recently, however, it had become the focal point of the entire Corpse Emperor Clan area and the three systems under the Torch Civilization's jurisdiction.
