Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1753 - 855: 7-Color Upgrade Fire Source (Part 2)

The Heavenly Ruins Market was bustling on its designated Trading Day.

Inside Room 32, known as the [Market Walking Room] on the third floor of the Ruins Market Inn, space began to ripple. A figure clad in traditional wizard robes materialized in the center of the chamber. His left eye was not a natural organ but a sophisticated mechanical construct.

This individual was Ono, a Ninth Rank True Spirit Black Wizard hailing from the Skeleton Tower within the Wizard Civilization.

Song Chi immediately focused a significant portion of his consciousness on Ono as soon as he sensed the wizard's arrival.

The moment Ono entered the Oddity Exchange Shop, he tapped his storage ring. In the blink of an eye, every alien race present in the shop was frozen in shock.

A massive pile of bleached bones had been released from Ono’s storage ring, forming a veritable mountain.

"Those look like the remains of Eighth Rank entities..."

"No, it is far more likely they belong to Ninth Rank Dominators!"

"Look over there..."

Once the initial surprise faded, the collective gaze of the gathered aliens shifted toward the peak of the bone pile, where a stack of shimmering gold bones sat.

"Eternal Gold Bone! That is a Mythical Bone!"

"Hiss, just who is this person?"

"He must be a True Spirit Wizard from the Wizard Civilization..."

"The Star Sea Dominator Wizard Civilization, that explains it..."

...

Ono paid no mind to the whispers echoing from the shop's corners. After presenting the bones, he looked directly at the projection screen positioned in the middle of the establishment.

"Great Master of the Heavenly Ruins Market, can these items be traded for the Colorful Lower Quality [Half-God Blood Corpse Puppet]?"

With a mere thought, Song Chi sent his reply.

[Not enough!]

The [Half-God Blood Corpse Puppet] was a prize claimed from the River System Communities of the Corpse Emperor Clan. While it couldn't be transformed into ship-mounted components—making it of limited use to a Torch Ship Captain—it was a perfect primary material for the Wizard Civilization to craft Mythical Witch Puppets.

For several years, various Ninth Rank True Spirit Wizards from different Rule Towers had attempted to trade for it, but none had offered anything that truly tempted Song Chi.

However, the Skeleton Tower was now offering a Mythical Bone. Even if its Mythical Source Blood had been extracted and its flesh stripped away, its inherent value was immense. Song Chi didn't want to dismiss the offer immediately.

After all, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong was equipped with the [Skeleton Tomb] component.

Sensing that a deal was possible, Ono felt a surge of excitement and began to think quickly.

The Tower Master of the Skeleton Tower, the Rule Wizard known as Black Bone, had issued a strict order to acquire this [Half-God Blood Corpse Puppet] regardless of the cost.

For a Rule Wizard, a Mythical Witch Puppet was a vital tool for boosting combat effectiveness. It provided power equivalent to a standard Mythical being and acted as an avatar that could traverse the All Heavens Star Sea, significantly increasing the Rule Wizard's safety.

Given the resources of the Skeleton Tower, obtaining this [Half-God Blood Corpse Puppet] meant they could soon manufacture a high-tier Mythical Witch Puppet. This was the reason Rule Wizard Black Bone was so desperate for the material.

After a moment of deliberation, Ono reached into his storage ring once more.

He produced another Strange Object, one that shimmered with a vibrant Three-Colored Light.

[Three-Colored Wonders·Annihilation Particle Witch Core]

Song Chi’s interest was piqued the moment he saw it.

This specific wonder was a specialty of the Wizard Civilization. It was said to be the essence of sorcery condensed by a Rule Wizard, packed with devastating sorcerous rule power.

While the [Annihilation Particle Witch Core] couldn't be turned into a standalone ship component, its internal rules could be used to upgrade the [High-dimensional Particle Collapse Cannon], granting the Star-Annihilating weapon a unique property of destruction.

Following a short pause for thought, Song Chi gave his final answer:

[Yes!]

Upon receiving the confirmation, the data stream in Ono’s mechanical eye flickered rapidly.

The trade was finalized moments later. The mountain of bones and the [Annihilation Particle Witch Core] vanished, replaced by an eerie, blood-colored pottery figurine.

Ono carefully stowed the [Half-God Blood Corpse Puppet], his eyes gleaming with satisfaction.

With this core material, the Black Bone Tower Master's project to create a Mythical Witch Puppet could finally begin.

Once Ono departed, Song Chi immediately fed the newly acquired Mythical Bone into the [Skeleton Tomb].

The unique component began to evolve as it consumed the bone.

{Summoning of Skeleton Giant: By consuming a vast quantity of remains, this component will cultivate a Skeleton Giant. Once the process is finished, the Captain can summon the giant for battle. This ability has no cooldown, but the giant's frame must be 100% restored before it can be summoned. (Current restoration: 99%) Note: The Skeleton Giant's power level remains exactly one Great Rank below the component's enhancement level.}

Song Chi looked at the "Summoning of Skeleton Giant" feature of the [Skeleton Tomb] and nodded, pleased with the progress.

At 99%, the component was only a hair’s breadth away from finishing the development of a Tenth Rank Skeleton Giant.

It wouldn't be long before the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong possessed its very first genuine Mythical Unit.

Simultaneously, the [High-dimensional Particle Collapse Cannon] integrated the [Annihilation Particle Witch Core], unlocking a new trait:

High-dimensional Particle→High-dimensional Annihilation Particle

{High-dimensional Annihilation Particle: The main cannon's beam now possesses high-dimensional annihilation properties. It ignores all energy-based shielding and inflicts additional rule-based annihilation damage.}

Just as Song Chi prepared to return his focus to the Market proceedings, he felt a familiar vibration through his Seed of Torch.

The signal didn't come from his relatives on the Dragon Spine Continent; instead, it was Song Yan on the Profound Yellow Red Yu vessel attempting to contact him.

Song Chi exited the Heavenly Ruins Market and returned to the Shenxia Jiuli Ship.

Because the [Original Torch Seed] in the Market was a Chaos Wonder, it blocked direct communication with the outside. However, being back on the Shenxia Jiuli Ship solved this problem.

"Brother, what is happening?"

"Little Chi, the avatar of my warship has been destroyed."

Song Chi stayed quiet, waiting for Song Yan to elaborate.

Exploring the Origin Star was notoriously perilous. Losing a Star River Ship avatar was a minor setback; over the past millennium, even Mythical Creatures had been known to die there. If it were just a lost avatar of the Fiery Flame Boiling Sea, Song Yan wouldn't have reached out.

As expected, Song Yan provided the details:

"My avatar recently located a Seven-Colored Fire Seed Wonder. It had the potential to become a Seven-Colored Promotion Fire Source for the Seed of Torch. However, before I could secure it, a Mythical Frost Winged Dragon from the Mysterious Frost Winged Dragon Clan intervened. That dragon now has the Seven-Colored Fire Seed."

Song Chi’s eyes lit up at the news.

Throughout the years, he hadn't found many Seven-Colored Fire Seed Wonders. Whether through the Ruins Market Token or missions with Jiang Yuan, they had only found standard Seven-Colored Fire Seeds. None were capable of serving as a Seven-Colored Promotion Fire Source for the Seed of Torch.

This made the information incredibly valuable.

A Seven-Colored Promotion Fire Source was a rare find. If they didn't act now, there was no telling when another opportunity would arise.

He asked immediately:

"Brother, can you confirm which Mythical Frost Winged Dragon it was?"

The Mysterious Frost Winged Dragon Clan was a Peak Clan of the Chaos Divine Land. While not a Transcendent Force, they boasted Eleventh Rank Myths. Three Tenth Rank Mythical Frost Winged Dragons had entered the Origin Star this time; if they couldn't identify the specific target, things would get complicated.

Fortunately, Song Yan had the answer.

"I can. The dragon that destroyed the Fiery Flame Boiling Sea avatar had a distinct golden marking on its right wing. That identifies it as the [Ice Spear Winged Dragon God], one of the three Mythical dragons currently in the Origin Star!"

"The [Ice Spear Winged Dragon God]... Understood. I need to consult with Emperor Jiang and the others."

After a thousand years of preparation, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong was far more powerful than a standard Extreme Superdimensional Mother Ship. Even so, facing a Mythical Creature alone was daunting.

As the saying goes, there was no reason to fight fair when you could bring allies.

Song Chi moved quickly to relay the information to Jiang Yuan, Ji Heng, and the rest of the group.

When they heard about the "Seven-Colored Promotion Fire Source," Jiang Yuan and the others were surprised but not overly excited.

They had long since attained the Seven-Colored Torch Seed.

"If we can get that Seven-Colored Promotion Fire Source, Greedy Wolf, your Seed of Torch will finally be on the same level as ours."

"However, taking down the [Ice Spear Winged Dragon God] won't be an easy task..."
