Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1917 - 929: Eternal Torch (End of Book)

The Shattered Starry Sea, having just endured an epoch of chaos, finds itself once more plunged into war and upheaval. This turmoil stems from the fervent expansion and territorial seizures undertaken by a multitude of civilizations and races.

Yet, differing from the prior upheaval caused by the Bottomless Abyss Dimension Upgrade, this time, while various factions engage in chaotic combat, a new equilibrium is preserved by the three Transcendent Forces. This ensures that myth-level bloodbaths are averted, keeping all interstellar battlefields within controllable parameters.

Within the Southern Region of the Shattered Starry Sea, in a span of merely ten thousand years, a colossal domain encompassing over forty core River System Communities and influencing hundreds more has ascended to become a preeminent existence, revered by all races: the Torch Civilization.

This vast territory is hailed by the myriad races as the "Torch Civilization Divine Territory."

At the heart of the Torch Territory lie the five Immortal Imperial Ancestor Lands and the Sky Mountain Secret Realm. These have expanded to the scale of a vast world, hovering deep within the core of the Ancestral Domain.

With the five Ancestor Lands serving as the central anchor, the radiance of the All Heaven Six Harmonies Reincarnation Array extends its reach over the most central River System Communities. Bolstered by these communities, the Torch Civilization's influence permeates dozens of surrounding River Systems and its might casts a shadow over hundreds more, establishing the bedrock of the entire Torch Civilization.

Across this expansive domain, countless Life Floating Lands have undergone transformation and rebirth. They strictly adhere to the Civilization Code enacted by the Fire Civilization Council, preserving their unique cultural identities while collectively recognizing Torch as the supreme ruling civilization. An extensive Star Gate network interconnects the Star Rivers, fostering an unprecedentedly thriving exchange of trade, communication, and cultivation resources.

And this represents merely the transformation within the territories governed by the Torch Civilization. The accumulation and steady supply of innumerable rare resources within this boundless expanse have noticeably amplified the civilization’s peak combat capability.

Jiang Yuan, the esteemed Lord of the Shenxia Dynasty—fifteen thousand years into the Torch Transcendence Calendar—commanded his flagship, the Shenxia Jiuli Ship. He amassed boundless Civilization Fortune and a variety of Mythical Level exaltation resources. This culminated in a cosmic phenomenon, marking his successful upgrade to the Eleventh Rank Mythical Origin Ship.

A millennium later, Jiang Yuan entered seclusion atop the Shenxia Ancestral Land. He channeled the Torch Fortune accumulated over twenty thousand years, ultimately shattering the bottleneck of the Eleventh Rank Guidance Technique. His divine body and flagship achieved perfect synergy, realizing his destiny as a true Mythical Origin Captain.

Ji Heng, the Lord of the Chi Yu Divine Dynasty—twenty-three thousand years into the Torch Transcendence Calendar—while on an expedition in the Alien Star Domain, obtained a strand of Super Rank Resource, the Profound Yellow Mother Qi. He integrated it into the Profound Yellow Red Yu Ship, thereby breaching the Eleventh Rank Mythical Barrier in a single, decisive move. The Chi Yu Profound Yellow Divine Light illuminated the Star River, signifying his attainment of Mythical Origin.

Jiang Yi of the Shenxia Dynasty: emerging as the most brilliant supernova in the wake of Jiang Yuan, Jiang Yi, in the transcendence calendar year twenty-eight thousand, successfully elevated his flagship, the Divine Bow Qiongyu, to the status of a Mythical Immortal Ship. Shortly thereafter, his Guidance Technique also achieved a breakthrough, positioning him as the sixth Mythical Immortal Captain of the Torch Civilization, following in the hallowed footsteps of the five Human Emperors.

Ying Yi of the Immortal Qin Dynasty and Ferdinand Ackerman of the Holy Hall Federation: both achieved their breakthroughs nearly simultaneously in the transcendence calendar year thirty-five thousand. The Immortal Qin Ancestor Dragon and Heavenly Light successively advanced to become Mythical Origin Ships, with the Guidance Techniques of both these esteemed Human Emperors keeping pace without faltering.

The period between forty thousand and seventy thousand years in the Transcendence Calendar witnessed the rise of Torch Civilization’s radiant stars: Beidou Star Lord, Chairman of the Qingqiu Chamber of Commerce, the Ancestor of the Heavenly Eagle Tan Family, the inaugural director of the Yanhuang Consortium, the Ancestor of the Fu Yao Pei Family, the first War King of the Immortal Qin War King Hall, and Song Yan of the Heavenly Ruins Song Family. A legion of senior Captains from the Torch Civilization, leveraging the foundation of their flourishing civilization, successively reached the Mythical Immortal Realm, collectively forging an indomitable peak force barrier for the Torch Civilization.

...

Amidst this zenith of prosperity and flourishing, the unwavering progress of Song Chi, the civilization’s most crucial pillar, never ceased.

The Zhu Tian Ruins Market, a supreme trading hub linking the vast All Heavens Star Sea and even the enigmatic Chaos Divine Land, alongside the Bottomless Abyss, which had attained a semi-high dimensional sublimation, all contributed to an immense accumulation of resources. This, coupled with the continuous influx of rare materials into the Torch Civilization Divine Territory, brought his reserves to an unbelievable magnitude.

In the seventy-two thousand and fortieth year of the Torch Transcendence Calendar, within the heart of the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, specifically inside the All-Attributes Cultivation Room, a transformation was occurring.

Hiss—

With an audible hiss, the door to the All-Attributes Cultivation Room swung open. Song Chi emerged, having completed a period of rigorous seclusion that spanned almost a hundred thousand years.

"Guidance Technique Level 119 reached, it appears the moment has arrived for that ultimate leap..."

After a brief utterance, his form flickered and vanished from the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, instantly reappearing on the surface of the Heavenly Ruins Continent.

More than a hundred millennia had elapsed, yet the Heavenly Ruins Continent remained a Tenth Rank Star Continent. This wasn't due to a lack of effort from the Song family in nurturing the continent after its elevation; periodic injections of several High Rank Floating Land Origin Cores into the continent's primary core continued. However, making the transition from the Star Continent tier presented formidable challenges, insurmountable through mere temporal accumulation alone.

Thankfully, through generations of dedicated effort and cultivation by the Song family members, amplified by the Torch Civilization's prior fervent expansion and the integration of countless High Rank Floating Land Origin Cores, the Heavenly Ruins Continent's foundation had finally reached its zenith at the Tenth Rank. It now possessed the latent capability to aspire to the status of an Eleventh Rank Star Continent.
