Pei Xingkong expressed profound gratitude to Emperor Song for a favorable exchange, securing a Mixed Elemental Infinite Pill for his family's offering. Other forces presented treasures, but only the Heavenly Eagle Tan Family's rare tree heart from a fallen Starry Sky Extreme Yang Flower captured Song Chi's interest, earning them the same divine pill in return. Disappointed attendees departed as Song Chi pondered the strategic use of these acquisitions to aid breakthroughs for the Dragon Spine Dominator Whale and Golden Apple Mother Tree, contemplating the need for additional high-rank essences. In the solemn Dragon Whale Ancestor Hall on Heavenly Ruins Continent, over five hundred elite Song family members, from Seventh Rank captains onward, gathered under a canopy of intersecting mighty auras, poised for a pivotal assembly.

High atop the grand hall, upon the "Immortal Throne" etched with patterns of cosmic origins, Song Chi sat in simple robes, looking steadily down at the assembled elites of the clan. Even without deliberate aura, his presence dominated this domain entirely, like he could shape the destiny of the Starry Sea with mere intent.

Beside Song Chi, positioned a bit lower, sat Superdimensional Captain Song Yan on the left, while on the right was the clan's founding ancestor, Star River Captain Song Wujiang.

Below them stood the present leader of the Song family, also among the clan's numerous Star River Captains—Song Yiming.

After them came the Eighth Rank Star River Captains, led by figures like Song Shiyuan, Song Xingru, Shen Youran, Song Hanyu, and more, alongside more than six hundred Seventh Rank Annihilation Starship Captains.

This impressive assembly already outshines most Immortal Giant Gates in the Torch Civilization; truly, the Song family now carries the essence of a Heavenly Pillar Royal Family.

"Silence!"

Song Yiming's tone rang firm, carrying the weight of a Star River Captain, echoing instantly across the expansive hall.

The faint whispers that had lingered ceased at once, as every gaze from the clan turned upward, brimming with awe, thrill, and honor.

"The purpose of calling everyone here today," Song Yiming scanned the assembly, his words booming, "is first to mark the official rise of our Heavenly Ruins Song Family to Heavenly Pillar Royal Family status, planting a sacred foothold in the Starry Sea. Second, to fully assess and catalog our existing resources, helping us plan ahead, to secure these vast realms for our civilization!"

"Next, I'll reveal the report, put together by all the clan's halls working as one, outlining the present might of our Heavenly Ruins Song Family!"

As he spoke, a massive display unfurled from the hall's ceiling, where orderly golden words in dense arrays started to form, each symbol holding immense data flows.

Song Yiming's declaration matched the screen's details:

"First, Bloodline Population: The Song family now boasts direct descendants across 292 river systems under Divine Court rule, reaching more than 120 billion souls, with the share of Torch Ship Captains growing each year, and prodigies appearing in waves!"

While most clan folk don't qualify as captains, within a vast base of over hundreds of billions, the geniuses produced remain plentiful, building the clan's lasting backbone. Numerous captains down below saw pride ignite in their stares at these words.

"Second, Apex Combat Power:"

"One Tenth Rank Mythical Immortal Ship: [Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong], commanded by the Fifth Human Emperor and Divine Court Lord, Chi Ancestor!"

"One Tenth Rank Enslaved Mythical Creature: [Mythical Asura]"

"One Ninth Rank Superdimensional Mother Ship: commanded by Superdimensional Captain Song Yan!"

Here, every clan member underneath directed intense, worshipful looks at the leading Song Chi and the Song Yan at his side; these two formed the unshakeable base of the Song family, the emblem of civilization's Heavenly Pillar.

"Eleven Eighth Rank Star River-class Cruisers! Commanded by Song Wujiang, Song Shiyuan, Song Xingru...

Six hundred thirty-eight Seventh Rank Annihilation Starships, with holder details entered into the ancestral hall's optical brain, so no need to list them aloud!" (Down below, over six hundred Seventh Rank Captains stirred with excitement, as this count dwarfs those of Immortal Giant Gates!)

"Third, Strategic Resources:"

"Three large renewable [Titanium Crystal] veins!" (A hushed intake of breath rose from the crowd, since large renewable titanium crystal deposits are priceless, vital for upgrading Torch Warship parts!)

"Fifteen medium renewable [Titanium Crystal] veins!"

"Sixty-nine small renewable [Titanium Crystal] veins!"

"Plus, assorted grades of [Floating Land Origin], unique [Energy Baryte], [Dominant True Spirit] stockpiles, diverse [Ship-mounted Components], [Special Shipborne Resources]... Exact figures sit in a classified roster, viewable only by core clan insiders."

"Fourth, Territories and Vassals:"

"Directly controlled river systems: 292! (Under Heavenly Ruins Divine Court, tied straight to the Song family)"

"Cultivated alien races: Ancient Demons (over a million strong), Robber Star Race (over five million), Star Sea Giant Apes (over a million), plus countless low-to-mid tier alien groups."

"Subjugated Alien Star Domain Life Floating Lands, Resource Secret Realms, Resource Floating Lands: precise counts are classified, yet their yields make up one-fifth of the clan's overall resource haul!"

One by one, these stark figures unveiled a staggering might and deep-rooted base that could overwhelm with awe.

Each attending Song family captain sensed their pulse quicken and fervor rise as they absorbed it all.

They grasped fully the power and sway these stats signified, from huddling in a sliver of Dragon Spine Continent to ruling almost three hundred river systems, reigning over the Starry Sea as the Fifth Heavenly Pillar Royal Family—this marked a colossal stride.

Song Yiming's tone peaked dramatically: "That's a basic tally of our Heavenly Ruins Song Family's current base, born from every member's united work, all under the Divine Court Lord's radiant guidance!"

"But the Starry Sea stretches endlessly, foes loom mighty around us, so no room for ease. This tally isn't for self-satisfaction, but to grasp our might and spot our gaps; I urge all to hold this truth: our clan's fate rests with every one of us, let's push hard and advance boldly, upholding the Heavenly Pillar Royal Family's glory, guarding Heavenly Ruins firm, and kindling the Torch in splendor!"

"Guard Heavenly Ruins firm, kindle the Torch in splendor!!" The Seventh Rank and above captains below roared together, their chorus crashing like waves, rattling the whole Dragon Whale Ancestor Hall, as boundless war zeal and resolve shot skyward, seeming to burst free and echo across the Starry Sea.

From his seat on the divine throne, Song Chi gave a subtle nod, a trace of satisfaction crossing his features.

He stood gradually, silent yet commanding, his eyes drawing every attention in the hall.

"Good."

One simple utterance, but it held boundless praise and hope, neatly wrapping up this key clan gathering that rallied spirits and reviewed core strengths.

Once the meeting ended, the Song family's massive war engine would surge into bolder ventures across the Starry Sea, armed with sharper goals and fiercer drive.
