Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1812 - 882: Prelude to Apotheosis_2

Jiang Yuan narrowed his eyes sharply:
"Relentless attacks... they're stalling us, blocking repairs to the city walls, and meanwhile... I suspect they're biding their time for something."
A heavy, unseen tension hung over the entire city.
Abruptly, Ji Heng lifted his head, his stare piercing:
"We have to strike first."
All eyes shifted toward him.
"If we just defend passively until the foes are all set to launch their assault, defeat is certain," Ji Heng pressed on, "The [Profound Yellow Red Yu] demands a sudden raid, zeroing in on one of those Eleventh Rank Myths, ideally taking it out for good. Even if it drains every Time Source Crystal we have, we need to throw off their plans, push them into a premature showdown, or... gain us extra moments to prepare."
After a brief reflection, Jiang Yuan nodded firmly:
"I agree. But no reckless charges. Li Qing, ramp up the scouting, deploy every resource available. I need details on the Alien Race's primary troops' locations and their schemes! Azure Dragon, Wilson, heal up fast, we're counting on your full strength."
Commands flew out, sending Human Emperor City's war apparatus into overdrive yet again, though now the mood carried less jubilation and more grim resolve, a fierce commitment with no retreat possible.
Deep in the Chaos voids, shadowy schemes stirred within the Alien Race, their plot silently advancing, even as Human Emperor City's lethal edge was drawn in secret.
The upcoming confrontation could seal the destiny of this realm forever.
...
Fine, let's adjust this part, have [Immortal Qin Ancestor Dragon] lead the charge, and after it triumphs, [Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong] steps in next.

While Human Emperor City had just driven back the Alien Race Alliance Army for the moment and rushed to ready their following moves, far off in the Torch Domain—the heartland of the [Torch Humanity Galaxy Cluster]—a highly anticipated super Floating Land upgrade finally launched.
Immortal Qin Dynasty, Immortal Qin Continent.
This immense, limitless Ninth Level Floating Land, bearer of the Immortal Qin Dynasty's splendor for more than 200,000 years, now found itself encircled by myriad Floating Land Shards and asteroids.
The continent's ground veins thundered, while overhead, stellar forces amassed at a record pace, weaving into brilliant streams of cosmic light that poured down from every edge of the land.
Right at the continent's heart, beneath Immortal Qin Dragon Court City's surface, in the profound Earth Core Realm.
Ying Yi, ruler of Immortal Qin, stood with arms clasped behind, his deep black Dragon Robe billowing without breeze, as he issued the calm directive:
"Start it."
Rumble!!!
With the final batch of Ninth Level Floating Land Origin Cores fully blending into the Immortal Qin Continent’s central Origin Core glow, the whole Immortal Qin Continent trembled violently, like a colossal heart beating with power.
Along the continent's borders, space warped and stretched, drawing in boundless Chaos Qi that got converted and woven into the landmass, making it swell visibly outward!
High in the firmament, the stellar vortex whirled furiously, pulling in hordes of Floating Land Shards and asteroids that blazed as meteors raining down.
The journey to becoming a Tenth Rank Star Continent had truly begun.
In stark contrast to the turmoil beyond the land, the Earth Core Realm stayed serene, hosting two enormous vessels hovering silently.
One towered like a peak, featuring a bow shaped like a dragon's head, its body clad in thick plating akin to an old bronze tome, inscribed with Immortal Qin Ancient Seals and tales of legendary wars, radiating Emperor’s Dragon Qi designed to dominate the Eight Desolates and Six Harmonies for all time, famed as [Immortal Qin Ancestor Dragon] loyal to Ying Yi.
Its counterpart bore somber, shadowy plating, with smooth but threatening contours, etched in myriad enigmatic runes and barrel openings that appeared to swallow all, encircled by faint distortions of Time and Space, renowned as Song Chi’s [Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong].
Both vessels' presences peaked at Ninth Rank, yet now [Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong]'s glow stayed subdued, whereas [Immortal Qin Ancestor Dragon] started emitting a dawn-like radiance.
With few words exchanged, through the warship's magnetic wave chat, the pair shared a look, and instantly, Ying Yi's gaze tightened.
Simultaneously, the Immortal Qin Ancestor Dragon blurred into a streak, surging to hover over the Immortal Qin Continent’s Floating Land Origin Core glow.
Song Chi stayed quiet, merely whispering a heartfelt wish inwardly:
"May His Majesty claim quick success, bolstering our Torch Civilization further!"
The strategy was set long ago; amid the Immortal Qin Continent’s rise, the surging Tenth Rank Origin Energy Tide offered a rare chance.
[Immortal Qin Ancestor Dragon] would lead the way, succeeding before handing off to Song Chi’s [Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong].
Buzz buzz buzz!
The land's growth pressed on; as Immortal Qin Continent's width grew, the Origin Core mass—essence of every Floating Land—swelled in size too.
Moments blurred by in an unclear flow; once Immortal Qin Continent's expansion hit a key threshold, the land's size steadied, no more growth, but instead a massive energy surge flooded through every part.
As moments passed, the Earth Core Realm's stored Origin Energy built to staggering levels, and at one precise instant, the intent Ying Yi flung his narrowed eyes open.
"This is it!"
In a flash, [Immortal Qin Ancestor Dragon] blazed with light, as the immense Origin Energy from the full Immortal Qin Continent's upgrade, like seeking its ultimate home, turned into a glorious light stream spanning the Star River, flooding into [Immortal Qin Ancestor Dragon]'s frame.
Across the vessel's surface, the bronze tome motifs ignited sequentially, as though awakening, the whole ship becoming a tangible embodiment of Immortal Qin Civilization's soul, greedily absorbing the endless pure power from the raging tide.
A colossal energy maelstrom swirled around [Immortal Qin Ancestor Dragon], churning the nearby Chaos.
The ordeal wasn't easy, with the savage energy surge battering the frame, seeking to shred this bold vessel claiming the Star Continent's grand Origin Energy Tide.
Yet how solid was [Immortal Qin Ancestor Dragon]'s base?
Though the hull shook wildly amid resounding dragon cries, it stood unyielding like a peak, relentlessly taming and purifying the raw energy, gradually etching it into the ship's deepest framework.
Song Chi observed [Immortal Qin Ancestor Dragon]'s progress intently, keeping [Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong] primed for its own upgrade anytime; witnessing this up close aided his preparations too.
With time marching on, the aura from [Immortal Qin Ancestor Dragon] grew ever more daunting, slowly gaining an timeless, unbreakable grandeur.
Subtle immortal glows emerged on the plating; the first hints of rule carvings taking shape!
At last, when it hit that vital peak—
Roar!!!
A cosmos-rattling, supremely grand dragon bellow burst from [Immortal Qin Ancestor Dragon]'s core!
Dazzling, eternal godly radiance pierced upward, banishing the endless night across millions of light-years in the Star Domain. The overwhelming mythical force raged like a gale, proclaiming the rise of a fresh Mythical Immortal Ship.
Victory achieved!
"Well done!" Song Chi's gaze sparked with vivid gleam, offering genuine praise.
Much like the earlier [Heavenly Light], [Immortal Qin Ancestor Dragon] pulled it off in a single push. But unlike Ferdinand's sheer fortune back then, Ying Yi had tapped every bit of Torch Fortune available, ensuring no mishaps and a flawless breakthrough.
Yet right after, his face grew utterly grave.
"Now me!"
With zero delay, as [Immortal Qin Ancestor Dragon] completed its ascent and the stirred energy waves hadn't fully settled, Song Chi willed it forward!
[Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong] faded into a shadow, slipping into [Immortal Qin Ancestor Dragon]'s former spot, positioning above the Immortal Qin Continent’s Origin Core mass.
Right away, the lingering pure tidal forces, still swirling, wrapped [Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong] completely, while eerie spectral lights started flickering across the hull.
