Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1864 - 905: All Preparations Complete (Part 2)
Previously on Global Era of Star trekking...
With these intricate setups in place, the instant the Peak of Tenth Rank Void Demon found itself ensnared by the sealing light curtain, its end was inevitably decided.
The pair of Eleventh Rank White Bone Giants fearlessly overwhelmed it through sheer dominance, as Song Chi directed a duo of warships to circle the boundaries, firing occasional blasts from their vivid cannons for targeted strikes that steadily eroded its vitality.
The clash dragged on for just three days, and as expected, right when this Peak of Tenth Rank Void Demon Grand Duke's energy ran dry and despair loomed near, Song Chi triggered the [Song of Divine Favor] along with its duplicate, then unleashed the Five-Colored [Heavenly Authority Control Ring]'s "Absolute Enslavement" ability.
Like unseen chains, the mighty Enslavement Mark seeped deeply into the Void Demon Grand Duke’s Soul Core, layer upon layer. At first, this Peak of Tenth Rank Void Demon put up fierce resistance, yet after relentless waves of enslavement in the ensuing minutes, it finally buckled and fell completely under the sway of the Heavenly Authority Control Ring.
Having tamed this Peak of Tenth Rank Void Demon successfully, Song Chi pressed forward without pause; relying on a single subjugated Peak of Tenth Rank Void Demon offered no true safety. Moreover, the [Song of Divine Favor] had refreshed its cooldown thanks to the [Blessing of the Time God King]. Song Chi wasted no time and struck again swiftly.
Over the span of only a few days, he managed to subjugate yet another Peak of Tenth Rank Void Demon Grand Duke. Now unwilling to risk further delays, he promptly dispatched both into the Medical Repair Cabin, pouring resources without restraint to mend their wounds and revive their condition.
The vital next phase involved securing amulets for the pair to fend off the fallout and meddling from Transcenders.
Many years onward, Song Chi’s awareness returned to the City of Transcendence.
Time pressed urgently; within mere months, he needed to rack up sufficient "transcendence contribution points" for these fresh Void Demon slaves to secure [Law Enforcer] standing.
That status alone would let them access the full details of the [Special Exchange Area], which he'd scoured across the City of Transcendence without spotting any counters to Transcenders—save for that enigmatic [Special Exchange Area] that might hold the key.
He guided the two legendary Void Demons to seize high-risk missions brimming with contribution points, like assassinations and clearances.
Thanks to the Void Demons’ natural battle prowess and their Peak of Tenth Rank might, Song Chi’s covert aid proved unnecessary; they crushed tasks with remarkable speed.
This became a frantic dash against the clock. Daily, Song Chi stayed on edge, monitoring the Immortal Domain Continent’s pull while overseeing the "advancement" route for the two Void Demons in the City of Transcendence.
At last, with only one month left before the Immortal Domain Continent fully escaped the Void Sea Dark Side's grasp, the duo of legendary Void Demons had gathered ample transcendence contribution points and officially rose to [Law Enforcer] in the City of Transcendence.
Once they claimed [Law Enforcer] privileges, Song Chi clearly sensed via the Soul Link how their influence in the City of Transcendence had surged to a whole new level.
The long-awaited [Exchange Zone]'s shadowy [Special Exchange Area] roster at last revealed itself to the "two Void Demons'" gaze.
Song Chi held his breath, his mind shadowing their senses as it probed that cryptic roster.
Few entries graced the roster, yet each one radiated an intimidating presence, their explanations stretching far beyond ordinary expectations:
Colorful Extreme [Shield of the Sky Abyss Star’s Core]
Exchange Requirement: 4 million transcendence contribution points, [Law Enforcer] authority
...
Colorful Extreme [Desire Demon Fire]
Exchange Requirement: 3 million transcendence contribution points, [Law Enforcer] authority
...
Five-Colored [Transcendence Contract (One-Time)]: a disposable contract scroll forged by the City of Transcendence. Signing it grants brief shelter under the city's rules, shielding against one instance of indirect transcendence-level causal pursuit or rule destruction (useless against outright assaults).
Exchange Requirement: 1 million transcendence contribution points, [Law Enforcer] authority.
...
Seven-Colored [Space-Time Beacon·Fake]: a remarkable beacon mimicking the City of Transcendence's foundational rules, enabling a single arbitrary far-flung space-time jump that bypasses sub-dimensional barriers.
Exchange Requirement: 10 million transcendence contribution points, [Law Enforcer] authority
...
Seven-Colored [Rule Shielding Field (One-Time)]: when activated, it erects a compact rule barrier that briefly blocks all rule-based assaults within and beyond it, holding firm up to Twelfth Rank Peak Level Rule Power
Exchange Requirement: 15 million transcendence contribution points, [Law Enforcer] authority
Seven-Colored [Transcendence Relic (Fragment)]: a shard from the husk discarded by an ancient mythic transcender, harboring unfathomable prime rules of the grand path, purpose unclear, highly perilous
Exchange Requirement: 20 million transcendence contribution points, [Inspector] authority
[One-Time Transcendence City Law Enforcement Summoning Order]: summons a force from the City of Transcendence by compulsion (capped at below Eleventh Rank power), and during the call, the summoned entity must obey the summoner's every command without question
Exchange Requirement: 8 million transcendence contribution points per piece, [Law Enforcer] authority
...
Every offering on the roster carried steep costs and demanded particular clearances.
Song Chi’s focus snapped straight to the [Space-Time Beacon·Fake] and [Rule Shielding Field].
"As anticipated... The City of Transcendence truly harbors ways to thwart Transcenders, even if they're just flawed knockoffs or single-use items, and priced so exorbitantly..."
His pulse quickened, but the sight of millions and tens of millions in required points brought a wave of mounting strain.
His wild gathering over these recent months had yielded barely more than ten million transcendence contribution points.
"I have to pick wisely... The [Transcendence Contract (One-Time)] stands as the top pick; it blocks causal pursuit head-on, serving as the main safeguard. Though he and his mirror image warship steer clear of direct involvement, the two Void Demon Grand Dukes remain enslaved under Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, leaving them open to potential tracing... The [Rule Shielding Field] could generate a zone to repel Twelfth Rank Transcender blows, granting the two Void Demons room to maneuver, but the points fall woefully short."
Song Chi’s thoughts whirled, balancing advantages, drawbacks, and outcomes.
In the end, he opted for a daring move, channeling profits from the Origin Star venture into full conversion as transcendence contribution points.
Ultimately, he claimed two [Transcendence Contracts], followed by a [Rule Shielding Field], draining a grand total of 17 million transcendence contribution points.
With the trades sealed, his stockpile of transcendence contribution points dwindled to near nothing, yet a deeper calm settled within him.
Two [Transcendence Contracts (One-Time)] paired with a [Rule Shielding Field (One-Time)] formed the backbone of security for his audacious scheme to seize from the jaws this round.
Without delay, he recalled the two Void Demons fresh from their law enforcer ascension in the City of Transcendence. Their enforcer role served only to unlock the special exchange zone's view. Mission accomplished, he harbored no lingering ties.
Deep wariness and aversion toward the City of Transcendence gripped him, prompting avoidance of deeper involvement.
Following that, his focus shifted back to the Immortal Domain Continent Ruins. Preparations stood complete, though the moment to launch hadn't arrived. He required an ideal window, preferably one allowing him to dispatch the three legendary gray mist energy forms overseeing parts of the Slaying Immortal Sword Formation.
Naturally, the cutoff loomed in the next month, the closing phase—if no perfect chance emerged, he'd compel the two Void Demon Grand Dukes to charge in regardless.
And so, moments slipped by, most of the month vanishing, until anxiety gnawed at Song Chi’s core—then on this fateful day, he seized the flawless opening to launch!!!
