Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1835 - 892: Mythic Starry Sky Plant [War Puppet Mother Tree] (2)

Even with the quick response, Song Chi's unease lingered. He debated in his mind if pursuing the "War Puppetry Tree" was the right move.

After a short pause, he shook his head decisively.

"We'll set that aside for the moment; first, I'll probe further into the 'War Puppetry Tree'. If it's merely a tenth-tier 'War Puppetry Tree', attempting it could pay off. But should it exceed tenth-tier, we'll handle it on another occasion."

The Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong's present fighting power made challenging a standard eleventh-tier 'War Puppetry Tree' possible. Still, the dangers were substantial, and Song Chi had no desire to face them.

...

Three months on, back at the Zhu Tian Ruins Market.

Song Chi's forehead creased as the warship avatar he'd dispatched to the Silver Goblin Empire, empowered by the upgraded Level 120 "Three Realms Five Elements Certificate", had just uncovered details about the 'War Puppetry Tree'.

Yet the findings proved far from ideal.

While the 'War Puppetry Tree' hadn't advanced to eleventh-tier, it sat at the pinnacle of tenth-tier. More alarmingly, it had produced two eleventh-tier Golden Horned Giant Whale War Puppets, and its tenth-tier Wood Puppets numbered over ten, posing a serious threat.

This revelation posed a real puzzle for Song Chi. The enemy's tricky mid-level might neatly avoided both strategies he'd outlined earlier.

But upon reflection, he soon made up his mind.

"Should the 'Bone Crypt' finish raising the eleventh-tier White Bone Giants, then backed by two eleventh-tier White Bone Giants, a legendary Asura, and two Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong vessels, taking it on should work."

Moreover, another idea struck Song Chi.

"And if the Ruins Market reaches tenth-tier beforehand, the chances would improve dramatically..."

Determined, Song Chi called back the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong and left the Ruins Market.

Once he arrived at the Heavenly Ruins Continent, he summoned the warship anew, steering directly toward the Shenxia Dynasty Ancestral Land on the Shenxia Continent.

...

Torch Humanity Galaxy Cluster, Shenxia Dynasty, Shenxia Continent.

"Jiang Yuan, what's the status on refining those four eleventh-tier mythic alien race corpses?"

In a hidden chamber of the Heavenly Pillar Jiang Family, Song Chi, fresh from his arrival, cut to the chase.

Hearing this, Jiang Yuan shook his head.

"Pulling out the mythical source blood from an eleventh-tier alien corpse is incredibly tough. At this rate, refining even the first one will demand at least a thousand years."

"A thousand years?"

Song Chi felt a wave of disappointment right away; such a duration barely registered for a mythic ship captain, yet he struggled to stomach it, especially with the deadline from the Heaven-Fighting Will closing in and leaving them little buffer.

After thinking it over, he offered a unique proposal.

"Might you spare one eleventh-tier corpse for me? I want to experiment with a different refining method."

From the clash at Human Emperor City, all five had poured in heavy effort, so Jiang Yuan had no reason to deny him. In short order, the Chaos Giant Elephant Corpse passed to Song Chi.

"Now that I've got the Chaos Giant Elephant Corpse, the only piece missing is upgrading the Ruins Market."

Song Chi's strategy was straightforward: push the Zhu Tian Ruins Market's growth at full speed. In his view, shifting the market from ninth-tier to tenth-tier marked a huge leap, boosting the Ruins Market's mythic essence immensely. That boost ought to propel it from tenth-tier to eleventh-tier, allowing him to tap the market's aid for a smooth refinement of this Chaos Giant Elephant Corpse.

After drawing out the mythic source blood, he could then feed the Chaos Giant Elephant Corpse into the "Bone Crypt" to hasten the birth of eleventh-tier Skeleton Giants.

Plan set, Song Chi wasted no time. Back at the Divine Court, he dove headlong into speeding up the Zhu Tian Ruins Market's progress.

Ninety years passed, and following yet another Ruins Market trading session, Song Chi, hovering once more above the Ruin Market Firmament, promptly pulled up the Zhu Tian Ruins Market's attribute interface.

[Name: Zhu Tian Ruins Market]

[Level: lv99]

...

[Upgrade Requirement: 1000 strands of Ninth Rank Floating Land Origin, 10 strands of Tenth Rank Floating Land Origin, Ruins Market Trading Volume filled 4,500,000 strands of Ninth Rank Floating Land Origin (4520890/4500000), 1 Ninth Rank Dominator True Spirit, 1 Mythical Soul.]

Thanks to the major input from family core members on trade, the Zhu Tian Ruins Market's upgrade criteria were all fulfilled in under a hundred years.

[Upgrade Conditions Met. Upgrade Now?]

Song Chi eyed the interface message, excitement flickering in his gaze. He drew in a steady breath and stated firmly:

"Upgrade!"

Suddenly, the whole Zhu Tian Ruins Market quaked fiercely.

Across the sky dome, myriad law runes materialized from nowhere, forming a massive web that blanketed the entire market, as structures everywhere underwent profound shifts. When the Ruins Market Law hit the critical shift point, deep alterations took hold.

[Zhu Tian Ruins Market starts evolving to tenth-tier, mythical status power is transforming... Current upgrade time required: ten years]

Sensing the vibrations rising from the market's base, shops everywhere grew on their own, their inner areas vastly expanded, and the count of shops surged wildly.

The ten-year evolution period caught him off guard a bit, but it made sense for such a pivotal tier jump.

Time raced ahead, and ten years slipped by quickly.

Returning to the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, Song Chi sensed his command over it had surged to new heights.

Even better, the market's reach had ballooned several times over.

Above all, the dominant mythic status power now saturating the market stood out; no need to scan the attributes—he knew the mythic status boost was now more than a hundred times mightier than previously.

Perched on the Ruin Market Firmament, Song Chi shut his eyes, absorbing the change. When he reopened them, clarity dawned.

"As expected, it's eleventh-tier mythical status power... and not the ordinary kind, but peak eleventh-tier!"

Grasping this, he skipped peeking at the market's updated attributes and directly pulled out the eleventh-tier Chaos Giant Elephant Corpse, then summoned the market's mythic status power.

A dazzling light ray plunged from above, wrapping the full Chaos Giant Elephant Corpse.

The peak eleventh-tier mythic status power's extraction of the eleventh-tier mythic corpse happened at a staggering pace— in just half a year, the eleventh-tier mythic source blood droplet from the Chaos Giant Elephant Corpse emerged, with only a heap of bones left, pulsing with eleventh-tier mythic aura.

[Mythical Source Blood Refinement Complete, Remaining Eleventh-Tier Mythic Bones Begin Infusion into Bone Crypt...]

The leftover remains went into the warship module "Bone Crypt," making the rainbow-hued module shudder violently.

Myriad white bones rushed together in frenzy, and the eleventh-tier White Bone Giant's cultivation neared its end, sending out a chilling pulse.

Song Chi nodded in approval at the sight; he realized that with a bit more time and some tenth-tier mythic bones invested, the eleventh-tier White Bone Giant would emerge fully.

Then, the eleventh-tier mythic status power from the Xie Ruins Market's tenth-tier upgrade would give over ninety percent odds of overwhelming the "War Puppetry Tree".

As his wandering mind refocused, Song Chi turned to the attribute panel of the now tenth-tier Zhu Tian Ruins Market, eager to see what shifts the tenth-tier brought.

[Name: Zhu Tian Ruins Market]

[Level: lv100]

......

The moment he accessed the market's attribute panel, before delving in, Song Chi let out a soft grunt.

From the depths of his Ancestral Torch in his mind, the Seed of Torch vibrated faintly; a pressing alert from the elder patriarch, Song Wujiang, arrived.

As a result, Song Chi had to pull his focus away sharply, his form blurring as he disappeared again from the Zhu Tian Ruins Market.

Heavenly Ruins Continent, Dragon Spine Sacred Mountain, Dragon Whale Hall.

When Song Chi materialized, his eyes locked onto the dark star core clutched by Song Wujiang, shimmering with five hues, drawing his stare inescapably.

He didn't identify the star core at first glance; what sparked his strong response was the fierce shaking from the tiny Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong in his Ancestral Torch.
