Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1778 - 867: Obtaining 7-Color Components Again_2

This seven-colored Energy Shield is truly professional-grade. Should the "Mythical Pulse Wave" attribute be swapped out via the Miracle Origin Improvement Platform later on, it would easily stand as the premier choice among all seven-colored shields.

Selecting two seven-colored components presented a dilemma, however, as it meant he could only pick two additional items from the remaining six options.

"Forget it. I will take the Devouring Star Vine Heart and the Earth Chain Mother Stone."

Song Chi finalized his decision after a moment of uncertainty.

His final haul consisted of: the Alien Species Energy Purification Sculpture, the White Hole Halo Heaven-Supporting Shield, the Devouring Star Vine Heart, and the Earth Chain Mother Stone.

The Rank 11 Devouring Star Vine Heart was intended for the Rank 9 Golden Apple Mother Tree, serving as a vital resource for its eventual breakthrough to Rank 10 Mythical status.

The purpose of the Earth Chain Mother Stone was obvious; it served as a supplementary promotion material for the Mythical Level Torch Warship. Even though it only granted a 2% boost to the success rate of evolving a Superdimensional Mother Ship into a Mythical Immortal Ship, such a margin was invaluable for the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, which allowed for repeated attempts.

With his choices locked in, Song Chi cast a lingering look at the remaining items, as the other four were equally enticing.

The Rank 11 Golden Apple would have allowed him to upgrade one of three specific objects—the three-colored Purusa Zen Seal, Chicang’s No. 004 Breeding Secret Realm, or the Miracle Cloning Chamber—to five-colored quality.

The five-colored Charging Stone possessed the ability to restore usage charges for designated Strange Objects. Despite being a single-use item, its utility was undeniable.

For instance, the Twelve Lives Life and Death Chess ability of the Time Chessboard had already been exhausted once. This stone could have replenished it, but because the Charging Stone was only five-colored, it was incompatible with the higher-tier Time Chessboard.

The Super Space Teleportation Device was a mobility component that far surpassed the capabilities of both the Space Jump Device and the Red Vault Jump Device, potentially covering the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong's weaknesses in that area.

Lastly, the Rank 10 Asura Blood Organ represented the concentrated essence of a mythical Asura. It would have been immensely helpful for the Asura Emperor serving under Song Chi, who had already reached the peak of Rank 9.

The Asura Emperor had been meticulously cultivated over the last millennium. Not only did it have access to the Rank 9 All Attributes Cultivation Room and the Rank 9 Wizard Magic Power Assistance Cultivation Cabin, but it had also recently fed on the flesh of a Rank 10 Mysterious Frost Winged Dragon, bringing it to the absolute limit of Rank 9.

Obtaining this Rank 10 Asura Blood Organ from the same species would have significantly smoothed its path toward a mythical advancement.

Noticing the shift in Song Chi's expression, Jiang Yuan and Ji Heng spoke up immediately:

"So, have you reached a conclusion?"

Song Chi nodded, declaring his selections before asking tentatively:

"Emperor Jiang, Emperor Ji, that Rank 10 Asura Blood Organ would be extremely useful for the Rank 9 Asura Emperor I command. Is it possible to trade for it using other items?"

"Certainly!"

Jiang Yuan and Ji Heng gave their consent without any hesitation.

Ying Yi had retrieved this Asura Blood Organ ten millennia ago while exploring the Starry Sea. Although it was a mythical treasure, the murderous aura within the heart was so suffocating that most beings could not withstand its integration, leaving it to sit in storage until now.

Hearing this, Song Chi produced an Intermediate Rank Chaos Mirror Image Stone. Capable of duplicating three-colored Strange Objects, its market value was roughly equal to the Asura Blood Organ, making it a fair trade.

Once the transaction was complete, Song Chi bid the two Human Emperors farewell. He was eager to integrate these new acquisitions and transform them into immediate combat strength for the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong.

Within the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong remained docked in the celestial vault.

Inside the Battleship Main Control Room, intense light pulsed repeatedly.

The White Hole Halo Heaven-Supporting Shield and the Alien Species Energy Purification Sculpture were both successfully leveled up to 110.

Upon reaching the Rank 11 enhancement threshold, the stats of these two seven-colored Strange Objects saw a massive surge.

Song Chi was particularly impressed by the fourth feature of the White Hole Halo Heaven-Supporting Shield.

{The White Hole Halo provides a constant blessing to the Energy Shield; when struck by outside forces, it actively negates 75% of the incoming damage.}

This implied that as long as the shield held, any attack directed at the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong would have its power slashed by three-quarters. Once the shield reached Level 120, that damage reduction would climb to 80%.

This upgrade alone was enough to push the battleship's combat capabilities to an entirely new tier.

However, Song Chi didn't depart for the Immortal Domain Continent Ruins immediately. The Skeleton Tomb, enhanced to Level 110, housed skeleton giants that had been deployed several times during the campaign in the Lanikea River System Cluster. Their skeletal integrity had not yet fully recovered to 100%.

As one of the most powerful trump cards of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, the skeleton giant was his primary insurance for exploring the ruins. He decided to wait for its full recovery before embarking on the journey.

...

In the Ninth Level Dragon Spine Continent of the Corpse Emperor Clan River System Cluster.

Deep within the Dragon Spine Sacred Mountain sat the Dragon Whale Hall.

Inside the hall, which was thick with Chaos Mist, stood Song Chi and Song Shiyuan. The latter had recently seen his flagship promoted to a Star River Ship.

Song Shiyuan’s eyes widened as he received the five-colored Origin Starlight Shield component from Song Chi.

The Immovable Ming King was currently equipped with only a Black Energy Shield, as Song Shiyuan’s Guidance Technique had only just reached the Eighth Rank. He had been pondering how to secure a three-colored shield, so Song Chi’s gift was a massive, unexpected boon.

Furthermore, he felt proud of Song Chi’s progress.

The fact that Song Chi was giving away a five-colored Origin Starlight Shield meant that the shield currently equipped on the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong was of even higher quality—likely a top-tier five-colored or better.

Shaking off his shock, he addressed Song Chi's previous question:

"Over the last ten thousand years, as the family prepares to ascend as the Fifth Heavenly Pillar Royal Family of our civilization, we have abolished the population caps. Our direct bloodline now exceeds one hundred billion, and we have over one billion Torch Ship Captains."

"Among them, there are over ten billion captains from the Zero to Third Rank. We have more than three million Fourth Rank Zhulu Warship Captains, over two hundred thousand Fifth Rank Battleship Captains, and even ten thousand Sixth Rank Fearless Ship Captains."

"As for the elders at the Seventh Rank Star Annihilation Level and above, the count stands at 382. This includes four Galaxy Captains and one Superdimensional Captain."

Song Chi’s interest was piqued.

"Oh? There is a new Galaxy Captain in the clan? Who?"

Song Shiyuan beamed with pride.

"It is young Yiming."

Song Chi was caught off guard; he had expected it to be Song Xingru or Song Xuancang. Song Yiming was a surprise.

He remembered that during the exploration of the Origin Star years ago, Song Yiming’s performance had been unremarkable. It was impressive that he had achieved the rank of Galaxy Captain without direct help.

"After the Origin Star mission ended, the boy went on an expedition to an Alien Star Domain. He lucked out and found a ruin from the Multiverse Era, securing a High Rank extra promotion resource. Combined with the Luck Holy Blood from the Chaos Divine Land, he managed to promote successfully."

"At the time, you were fully preoccupied with the Lanikea River System Cluster expedition, so the patriarch chose not to bother you with the news."

Song Chi nodded slowly as he processed the information.

The family now boasted four Galaxy Captains, but in his eyes, it still wasn't enough.

"It is still insufficient. The family's foundation is too thin. We must continue the current policy; if we lack top-tier combatants, we must make up for it with numbers. The Torch Civilization is approaching its most dire crisis yet, and survival is not guaranteed."

"If disaster strikes, a larger population gives us a better chance of preserving the flame of our civilization. Issue an order to the entire clan: there is to be no laziness for the next ten thousand years!"

"Understood!"
