Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1823 - 887: The Torch’s Rising Fame (2)

"As the Corrosive Insect Swarm withdraws, the Evil Energy, Blade, and Chaos Giant Elephant races have endured devastating defeats, leaving a gaping power void! We must split our troops without delay to seize these Chaos Cities, prioritizing the elite ones, before rival powers can react!"

Ferdinand, ever prudent, chimed in:

"Splitting the forces is crucial, yet it demands thorough strategy. Our own troops took severe hits in this clash, so we need to hold back units to safeguard Human Emperor City and mend the barriers against any surprises."

"Furthermore, the real issue lies in whether Torch Civilization possesses sufficient might to fully dominate those Chaos Cities, even for a short occupation?"

Song Chi nodded vigorously in agreement with these points.

"True enough, Torch Civilization now commands five Mythical Immortal Ships and seven Mythical Enslaved Creatures, but securing a Chaos City demands at least three Mythical Powers stationed per site, without letting supplies or reinforcements falter."

"Handling supplies won't be hard, with Zhu Tian Ruins Market enabling trades across cities, but backing from Mythical Powers is..."

His words cut off sharply there.

Though unfinished, the meaning hung clear to all in the room.

Torch Civilization, embedded in Zhu Tian Ruins Market for millennia, knows its regulations well: creatures of Ninth Rank or lower move freely in and out, but Mythical Creatures face restrictions.

Torch Civilization has discovered Zhu Tian Ruins Market's ability to evolve on its own, slowly boosting the rank limits for entrants, though no clear method emerges.

No one knows if it will climb to mythical status, or precisely when such a shift might occur.

From this angle, trying to game the Zhu Tian Ruins Market's flaw seems impossible, at least in the present.

Song Chi glanced around, noting the faces of those gathered, but held his tongue.

He knows full well the Ruins Market has hit Level 99, on the brink of Tenth Rank ascension.

The logic behind this stays straightforward.

Leaning on the Chaos Divine Land flaw remains too risky; even if Zhu Tian Ruins Market reaches Tenth Rank down the line, he hesitates to act, wary of drawing envy from Transcenders.

Once the Ruins Market achieves mythical tier, he'll hold strong assurance to bargain directly with Transcenders via the market's positional boosts, but that's for one-on-one dealings; if several Transcenders team up, outcomes turn unpredictable.

Song Chi deems it vital to avert such threats.

As his mind whirled through these concerns, a Superdimensional Captain advanced abruptly.

"Tan Renhong, got a fix for this?"

As the fresh Superdimensional Captain from the Heavenly Eagle Tan Family, aligned with Chi Yu Divine Dynasty, Ji Heng posed the question.

Tan Renhong gave a nod, a flicker of Ghost Light emerging from his forehead, and right away, a seven-hued orb burst from his Ancestral Torch.

All Heaven Six Harmonies Reincarnation Array lv0

Quality: Colorful/Extreme

Unique Feature: All Heaven Six Harmonies Reincarnation Array

...{All Heaven Six Harmonies Reincarnation Array: Drains massive Spectral Energy Points to build teleportation portals at each Reincarnation site for instant mutual jumps; max jump range currently hits 1 Light-Year.}

With Tan Renhong unveiling the [All Heaven Six Harmonies Reincarnation Array] component's stats, sparks of excitement lit up in every gaze.

Yet Ji Heng voiced the final query.

"Checked the upgrade path for the component's teleport range?"

"Answering Your Majesty, my trials show that at Twelfth Rank, it spans a trillion light-years."

This revelation amplified the thrill surging through the group.

Song Chi felt profound elation too.

A trillion light-years, even slashed by the ten-thousand-fold space compression in Chaos Divine Land, still covers tens of millions of light-years—enough to link prime spots like [Heaven-Reaching Chaos City] and [Split Mountain Ancestor City], plus Human Emperor City below, totaling five cities, leaving one slot open for any lesser Chaos City.

"Excellent, this [All Heaven Six Harmonies Reincarnation Array] fits our needs perfectly; as reward, the Heavenly Eagle Tan Family can pick any item from the Contribution Mall next, plus ten million contribution points credited here..."

Beaming as he doled out the prize for the Heavenly Eagle Tan Family, the assembly shifted back to core matters.

"It's decided: the primary squad, under my lead with Ji Heng and Ferdinand, will steer a Mythical Immortal Ship straight to [Heaven-Reaching Chaos City]. As a rare Superlimit Chaos City in Heavenly Ape Star Realm, it demands quick capture."

"The secondary squad, headed by Song Chi and his Mythical Asura squad, assembling a crack armada, targets one of the trio of elite Chaos Cities, [Mountain Splitting City]." Jiang Yuan's eyes swept over Song Chi with nod of endorsement and hope.

The stellar showing of Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong in battle earned universal admiration.

"The tertiary squad, guided by Star Universe Azure Dragon, Thirty-Six-winged Holy Angel, and Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox, handles two of the three elite Chaos Cities."

"The quaternary squad, directed by Void Sea Flame Phoenix, Ruins Returning Annihilation Whale, and Planet Devourer, claims the remaining elite Chaos City."

"Jiang Yi and Wilson, you'll pair up to grab [Tianli City], close to Human Emperor City."

"Execute with speed, accuracy, and ferocity! On takeover, ignite the city core at once, patch defenses, and rebuild core protections as fast as possible!"

"Ying Yi, Human Emperor City falls to your watch!"

The strategy gained full backing, directives flew out fast, and Torch Civilization's war engine roared into seamless motion.

Soon after, over Human Emperor City.

Four Mythical Immortal Ships soared first, ripping voids toward [Heaven-Reaching Chaos City] and [Split Mountain Ancestor City].

Trailing them came crack formations of Star Destroyers, Star Rivers, and top-tier vessels, primed to anchor defenses in newly claimed cities.

Then, Torch-led armadas, spearheaded by various Mythical Enslaved Creatures, dispersed like constellations, branching into groups and surging every which way.

This fierce reprisal launched in earnest.

...Song Chi positioned himself in Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong's command hub, gaze sharpening on the half-mended [Split Mountain Ancestor City].

Reports showed that post-conquest, merely a Blade Elite Squad lingered as guards, overseen by one lone Tenth Rank Blade God.

"Charge!"

No hitches arose; the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong's overwhelming force crushed the Blade contingent in moments, handing [Split Mountain Ancestor City] to Torch Civilization's grasp.

Not only here at [Split Mountain Ancestor City]—other squads fared likewise; this aggressive push flowed far easier than defending Human Emperor City before.

This round, Torch Civilization rode victory's wave with blazing spirit, while foes reeled in total rout, spirits shattered.

Yet Song Chi and his allies didn't realize that amid their relentless advance, Torch Civilization's renown blazed across Heavenly Ape Star Realm.

A lone race and stronghold, holding off the Five Races Alliance onslaught, even obliterating over four Eleventh Rank Mythical Units.

Torch Civilization and Human Emperor City, buzzed by the routed Five Races Alliance and Corrosive Insect Swarm, rocketed through Heavenly Ape Star Realm's domains at breakneck speed.

Torch Humanity's name seared into the thoughts of myriad elite powers in mere days.
