Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1751 - 854: Countless Millennia · Clan Treasure Evolution (Part 2)
Previously on Global Era of Star trekking...
The explanation is straightforward. Due to the influence of the Star-shifting Commerce, the Dragon Spine Continent has finally hit the peak of an Eighth Level Floating Land. Years prior, the Dragon Spine Song Family had already notified the four Torch Ancestral Courts of their intent to push the Dragon Spine Continent toward a Ninth Level Floating Land ascension.
Following that declaration and subsequent negotiations between the Song Family leadership and the four Torch Ancestral Courts, millions of Torch Warships have congregated at the Dragon Spine Continent. Their purpose is to witness and absorb the massive energy surges released by a Ninth Level Floating Land Origin.
Song Shiyuan stands in silence, positioned deep within the Earth Core of the Dragon Spine Continent.
Directly ahead, the ethereal form of the Immovable Ming King hangs suspended above the glowing cluster of the Floating Land Origin Core.
After glancing back and catching a signal from Song Chi, Song Shiyuan acts without hesitation. He casts a ninth-level Floating Land Origin Core, possessing a 60% concentration, directly into the primary Origin Core of the Dragon Spine Continent.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
As tremors ripple across the surface of the Dragon Spine Continent, massive tides of energy begin to wash over the sprawling territory.
"It is done. The ninth-level energy surge is arriving; everyone, prepare yourselves!"
"The Dragon Spine Continent has successfully reached the Ninth Level!"
...
For the countless Torch Ship Captains present, the arrival of the Ninth Level Floating Land Origin’s energy tide was imminent.
Bathed in this ninth-level energy surge, Song Shiyuan’s Immovable Ming King achieved a successful ascension. There was no need for Song Chi to utilize the Time Chessboard; the breakthrough was a direct triumph.
"Little Chi, we did it!"
Song Shiyuan could not mask his grin as he watched the Immovable Ming King stabilize at a scale of 1,800,000 kilometers.
Song Chi shared in this joy.
From this moment forward, the Dragon Spine Song Family would possess one Superdimensional Captain, three Galaxy Captains, and nearly one hundred Annihilation Starship Captains.
While they still trail the four primary families, they are rapidly distancing themselves from other major organizations. Controlling territories that encompass over ninety river systems, the Song family stands alone among colossal powers. As time passes, the gap in their foundation will only grow wider.
Furthermore, this is merely the beginning. Following Ji Heng’s breakthrough, a pact was made between Song Chi, Jiang Yuan, Ji Heng, Ying Yi, and Ferdinand to expand the Torch Civilization once the Origin Star operation concludes. Their plan involves pushing south through the Corpse Emperor Clan River System Group to seize new river systems.
The goal for the Torch Civilization is to grow into at least four river system communities, ideally stretching to five if circumstances allow.
During this expansion, the Dragon Spine Song Family is slated to found the Torch Fifth Empire. Under this banner, the family’s holdings will expand significantly, likely reaching between three hundred and four hundred river systems. Such growth will drastically speed up the Song family’s accumulation of resources and power.
However, those are future concerns. While Song Chi advises Song Shiyuan to begin his retreat, his focus shifts toward the Heaven-Swallowing Python Shedding located within the Floating Land Origin Core.
This Five-Colored Wondrous Object has been gathering energy for several millennia, previously hitting a 60% threshold. Thanks to the concentrated efforts of the Song family, its progress has reached 98%, placing it on the verge of its second evolution.
Song Chi produces several Storage Capsules filled with Alien Energy. By extracting this essence, he can immediately push the Heaven-Swallowing Python Shedding’s progress to the 100% mark.
Yet, Song Chi pauses. There is a preliminary task to complete.
A spectral light flickers at his brow as a black, glowing Dimension Space Stone emerges from his Torch Ancestral Aperture.
With a soft tap on the Dimension Space Stone, Song Chi triggers a series of spatial ripples.
Swish!
A new gem manifests beside the Dimension Space Stone—the familiar Chaos Mirror Image Stone.
This particular stone is of High Rank, rather than Top Rank.
With a wave of his hand, Song Chi sends the High Rank Chaos Mirror Image Stone toward the Heaven-Swallowing Python Shedding. Immediately, the Earth Core Space is flooded with vibrant, ghostly colors.
An indeterminate amount of time passes. Once the radiance fades, the Heaven-Swallowing Python Shedding Wondrous Object has duplicated. The mirrored version possesses the "Swallowing Yuan Transformation" trait and displays an energy progress of 98%/100%.
"Just as I thought!"
A smile touches Song Chi’s lips as his long-held theory is validated.
He moves quickly, opening dozens of Matter Capsules to flood both Heaven-Swallowing Python Sheddings with massive amounts of alien energy.
Within ten minutes, the two objects begin to vibrate as they hit their limits. The multi-colored glow intensifies, shifting into a brilliant seven-colored radiance.
Their new attributes are vastly superior to their previous states.
[Wondrous Object: Heaven-Swallowing Python Shedding (Mirror Image)] [Quality: Colorful/Extreme Position] [Convertible: None] [Effect: {Mythical Shedding}{Three-Colored Spirit Seal}{Ancient Python Spirit}{Swallowing Yuan Shedding}{Holy Blood Baptism}{Sumeru Python Belly}{Sumeru Extraction}{Companion Python Spirit}{Sumeru Swallowing Heaven}] [Remark: The skin of a mythical Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python, transformed into a Colorful Mythical Artifact through the baptism of exotic energy.]
{Mythical Shedding: Manually evolve a chosen wondrous object by one quality tier. The target's rank cannot equal or surpass the Heaven-Swallowing Python Shedding. Cooldown period scales with the quality of the target, lasting between one thousand and two hundred thousand years.}
{Three-Colored Spirit Seal: Places a "Heaven-Swallowing Python Spirit Seal" on a target creature, forging a bond with the Heaven-Swallowing Python Shedding. Current Capacity: (100000/100000).}
{Swallowing Yuan Shedding: Inherits the consumption talent of the mythical Heaven-Swallowing Python, allowing for evolution via energy absorption (Currently at maximum evolution).}
{Sumeru Extraction: Holders of the Spirit Seal can retrieve up to fifty items from the Sumeru Python Belly every century, regardless of spatial distance. This limit resets every hundred years and does not stack.}
{Companion Python Spirit: Those born with the Heaven-Swallowing Python Shedding Primordial Blood gain a unique Python Spirit companion, granting them incredible potential.}
{Sumeru Swallowing Heaven: Calls upon the Ancient Mythical Python Spirit to concentrate energy for a devastating Heaven-Devouring Strike against a target.}
The attributes of this colorful extreme position object were so potent that even the experienced Song Chi looked on with respect.
However, his primary interest lay elsewhere. With a mental command, the Heaven-Swallowing Python Shedding inside the Floating Land Origin Core flashed, firing a vibrant beam toward the Dragon Whale Hall.
Song Chi activated the "Mythical Shedding" ability, targeting the Colorful Lower Rank Dragon Whale Hall.
Now that the Heaven-Swallowing Python Shedding had reached the extreme position, it could upgrade three-colored objects into five-colored ones. While the Dragon Whale Hall was a sufficient signature artifact for the Song family before, a lower-rank soul protection item would not be enough once the family ascended to the status of a Fifth Heavenly Pillar Royal power within Torch Humanity.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
A magnificent light shines as the three-colored aura is replaced by a five-colored glow.
Song Chi checked the Dragon Whale Hall’s new stats, confirming it had reached colorful high-rank quality with massively boosted attributes. Satisfied, he turned his attention to the mirrored Heaven-Swallowing Python Shedding in his hand. With the Dragon Whale Hall upgraded, it was time to consider which part of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong should receive the next evolution.
Song Chi had yet to decide which specific component would benefit most from this opportunity.
