Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1763 - 860: [Chaos Wonders—Dimension Anchor]

With the Torch Civilization's foundation now spanning three River System Communities, fostering the simultaneous birth of two Star Continents is no longer an impossible feat.

However, such an endeavor demands a massive mobilization of both material resources and manpower, with the presence of high rank Torch Captains being particularly vital.

Consequently, at least one-third of the ten thousand plus Annihilation Starship Captains currently scouring the Origin Star must be summoned back immediately.

For the Torch Civilization, which relies on Warship Avatars for continuous exploration of the Origin Star, this withdrawal will undoubtedly cause a significant drop in the efficiency of gathering rare treasures.

Nevertheless, at this critical juncture where the Torch Civilization must bolster its foundation, missing this once-in-a-million-year chance provided by the Origin Star’s fall would be disastrous. Once the Heavenly Ape Star Realm descends into absolute chaos in the future, seizing such an opportunity again will be nearly impossible.

"Let us concentrate all our efforts on nurturing the Holy Hall Continent!"

The silence in the group chat was shattered by Ferdinand, the Lord of the Holy Hall Federation.

In this situation, even Mythical Immortal Captains like Jiang Yuan and Ji Heng were not in a position to impose a decision upon Ying Yi and the others.

Striving for a myth is, at its core, a vital matter regarding one’s own transcendent path. Ultimately, the choice must rest with the individuals involved, lest a future failure in promotion breeds deep-seated resentment.

After he finished speaking, Ferdinand did not look toward Jiang Yuan or Ji Heng; instead, he turned his gaze directly toward Ying Yi.

"Given the current state of the Heavenly Holy Light Ship’s preparations and the Torch Fortune in my possession, the success rate for promotion should remain above 40%. When we factor in the two ’Time Reversal’ features, the theoretical success rate will climb to at least 80%, which should ensure we do not fail."

Despite these assurances, nothing is ever guaranteed. Should the promotion fail, it is the Immortal Qin Ancestor Dragon who would have to endure the bitter fallout. Thus, while Ying Yi’s face remained unreadable, his silence clearly signaled his hesitation.

Ferdinand had already foreseen this concern and added:

"Rest assured, I have already secured enough Time Source Crystals to immediately reset the cooldown of the two Time Chessboard components once they are used."

Hearing this, Ying Yi felt much more at ease.

Although missing the peak time node of the Floating Land Origin tide would slightly lower the Immortal Qin Ancestor Dragon's promotion success rate, the impact would be minor and remained within an acceptable margin.

Furthermore, those two Time Chessboards with reset cooldowns could still be utilized by the Heavenly Holy Light Ship, couldn't they?

Song Chi, watching the exchange, instinctively thought of the drop of Time Source Liquid he possessed the moment Ferdinand mentioned Time Source Crystals.

That single drop of Time Source Liquid, equivalent to 1000 kg of Time Source Crystal, could reduce the cooldown of various strange objects by a total of one million years. Naturally, he considered using it on the "Time·Retrospect" feature of his own Time Chessboard to provide the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong Ship with more attempts during its future Mythical Immortal Ship promotion.

However, after some careful thought, he dismissed the notion for the time being.

The logic was simple: the "Time·Retrospect" ability of the Time Chessboard can only rewind to 11 seconds prior. Even if the warship promotion process is swift, time is inevitably consumed during the procedure; 11 seconds is only enough for perhaps three or four rewinds.

While three or four attempts certainly offer a better success rate than two, achieving infinite, continuous retrospect is clearly out of the question.

Once the final terms were settled, the five individuals parted ways. The Shenxia Jiuli Ship personally returned to Human Emperor City to ferry Ying Yi and Ferdinand back to the Torch Domain. There, they would mobilize the majority of the stationed high rank forces to focus entirely on the Holy Hall Continent.

Meanwhile, Song Chi and the other two remained on the Chaos Divine Land to continue their exploration of the Origin Star. They intended to spend the final two thousand years thoroughly scavenging all resources and treasures within the planet.

...

By the eighth millennium of the Origin Star’s fall, the three-man exploration team from the Torch Civilization successfully located a crashed resource vessel from an ancient relic battlefield. From it, they recovered a wealth of Dominant True Spirits, Mythical Souls, Moon Crystals, Chaos Mirror Image Stones, and Starry Sea Oddities, among other treasures.

In the eight thousand five hundredth year of the fall, the team managed to slay a native mythical beast. From its den, they transplanted a legendary Spirit Root known as the Star Ascension Tree. This Spirit Root draws in the Power of Star Essence to grow Star Ascension Fruits; the highest grade of these fruits can even assist flesh-and-blood beings in breaking through to the myth rank.

In the year nine thousand and sixty-two of the Origin Star’s fall, less than a thousand years remained before the planet would rise once more.

The Chaos Mist that once blanketed the entire world had thinned into a mere veil, replaced by countless beams of rule-light that pierced through the heavens and the earth.

Each beam of light marked the birth site of a supreme treasure. The most prominent among them was a massive, icy blue pillar of light shooting up from the Antarctic Ice Field, visible even to those watching from beyond the Origin Star.

"The seven hundred thirty-eighth scan is complete."

Song Chi massaged his throbbing temples. The Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong Image Warship was currently hovering amidst the fierce blizzards of the Origin Star’s Antarctic circle, its hull coated in thick layers of Chaos Ice Crystals.

"Energy readings have climbed another 12%. At this pace, it will hit the critical threshold in a few decades at most."

On the holographic display, the faces of Jiang Yuan and Ji Heng were illuminated by the flickering glow of streaming data.

This three-man team had been stationed here for centuries. During that time, they had driven off forty-three groups of intruders, including two Tenth Rank Demon Gods from the Abyss Demon Race.
