Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1834: 892: Mythic Starry Sky Plant [War Puppet Mother Tree]

Zhu Tian Ruins Market, during the Ruins Trading Day, on the third floor of the Ruin Market Inn.

Click!

A sharp click echoed as the door to a trading room in the market swung open abruptly, and in the following instant, a diminutive figure with green skin and triangular eyes stepped into view.

To the casual observer, it appeared rather unremarkable, perhaps even a bit shady, yet what remained unknown to most was that this unassuming entity belonged to the initial wave of longtime patrons who had made the Zhu Tian Ruins Market their home.

In the span of twenty thousand years, the vast advantages offered by the Zhu Tian Ruins Market had propelled the former Goblin Luke to the heights of Seventh Rank Dominator status, granting him legendary status within the Silver Goblin Empire and reverence as the Goblin God among billions of Silver Goblins.

Nevertheless, unlike the arrogance and contentment that once dominated his expression more than ten thousand years back, Luke had adopted a far more subdued demeanor in the recent ten millennia.

This shift was unavoidable; after all, beholding the arrival of Origin Star and the influx of tens of thousands—or even hundreds of thousands—of Eighth and Ninth Rank Dominator-level extraterrestrial beings into the Zhu Tian Ruins Market would swiftly diminish any pride from merely reaching the Seventh Rank.

Yet today, Luke carried an unusual air about him, distinct from his typical routine. A spark of unrestrained delight flickered deep in his triangular gaze. Upon exiting the Ruin Market Inn, he hurried straight to the Oddity Exchange Shop.

…

“Great Ruins Market Lord, regarding the mission you assigned three centuries ago to [gather mythological starry sky plant tree heart or pertinent details], Luke has uncovered some leads.”

High above in the Ruin Market Firmament, in a zone elusive to those below, the Mythical Immortal Ship Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong floated silently. Within the battleship's primary control chamber, Song Chi, fresh from his retreat on the lv109 [Spectral Energy Cultivation Platform], abruptly snapped his eyes open.

The details shared by Goblin Luke immediately seized his focus.

With merely a few thousand years remaining before the downfall of [Heaven-Fighting Ruins], expediting the [Golden Apple Mother Tree]'s rise to the Tenth Rank could yield multiple additional batches of Tenth Rank [Golden Apples].

Such an outcome would prove vital for dramatically boosting the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong's battle strength moving forward. Freshly elevated to Mythical Immortal Ship status, attaining the Eleventh Rank Mythical Origin Ship in the near term was out of reach; thus, alternative avenues had to be pursued to amplify the vessel's fighting capabilities.

[Go on!]

In the Oddity Exchange Shop, Luke's pulse quickened momentarily before he plunged into his account without pause:

“Lord, the story traces back to the Silver Goblin Empire's dawn of interstellar expansion. Across the last twenty thousand years, as the empire pushed its boundaries and scouted nearby Star Domains, its dominion grew ever more expansive. But recently, an outer perimeter magic energy scouting fleet vanished without trace. Investigations point strongly to the lost fleet's Star Domain harboring ties to a Super Galaxy Plant.”

While recounting this, Luke flicked his wrist lightly, retrieving an item from his Magic Energy Storage Ring.

His gesture sent the item vanishing from his grasp, only to materialize moments later in the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong's control room.

“This… could it be a Wood Puppet?”

Song Chi's eyes swept across the wooden creature puppet before him, his brow creasing in thought.

From Luke's description, this creature-form puppet—more accurately, a Wood Puppet in beast shape—represented a unique lifeform thriving in that Star Domain. It was exactly these peculiar Wood Puppets that led Luke to suspect the presence of a Super Rank starry sky plant lurking far within that region.

“Yes, this Wood Puppet harbors a potent trace of a starry sky plant’s Life Origin, without question from a Mythical starry sky plant.”

Muttering to himself, Song Chi held off on responding to Luke right away. Instead, he unleashed the Power of Mythical Status inherent to the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, combined with his own Tenth Rank mythical life hierarchy, to thoroughly probe the Wood Puppet's concealed depths.

After several dozen breaths, he had unraveled the Wood Puppet entirely, laying bare every strand of its internal energy, origins, rules, and more—nothing escaped his scrutiny.

But he pressed further. With a mere shift in focus, he commanded the [Dome Sky Wisdom Brain] to summon exhaustive records on all known starry sky plant varieties from the warship's database for cross-reference.

Within under two minutes, Song Chi pinpointed a matching species of starry sky plant.

[Name: War Puppet Mother Tree]

[Affiliation: Starry Sky Plant]

[Potential: Extremely High]

[Description: A scarce variety of starry sky plant skilled in breeding diverse war puppets. Provided with ample resources, it can generate war puppets surpassing its own rank (though not exceeding the Lord of the Starfield, Dominator, or Mythical Ranks), rivaling the terrifying Insect Queen in prowess.]

[Incomplete War Puppet Types: Starry Sky Beast Puppet, Four-winged Battle Puppet, Wooden Thorn Demon Puppet, Fortress Mother Puppet, Shadow Puppet, Self-destructive Bee Puppet, Tree Stump Puppet, etc.]

[Note: This starry sky plant poses extreme peril. Upon facing a War Puppet Mother Tree at equal or superior rank, flee without second thought!]

Having absorbed the database entry, Song Chi's gaze sharpened intently.

The details laid out made it evident that the [War Puppet Mother Tree] ranked among the most vexing varieties, and this one was a Mythical specimen at that.

Though a flicker of doubt arose, he soon dispatched his response to Luke.

[Well done. Erect an All Heavens Transmission Platform by the close of this trading day, then stand down. For your efforts, select any oddity up to Three-Colored Quality from the Oddity Exchange Shop.]

“My deepest gratitude, lord!”

Elation surged through Luke on the spot, and wasting no time, he sped back to the inn to assemble a subsidiary All Heavens Transmission Platform in the Silver Goblin Empire's Star Domain.
