Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1918 - 929: The Torch Eternal (End of Book) _2

A grand hall buzzed with activity, dozens of figures assembled within its opulent confines. Among them, recognition dawned for Song Yan, Song Wujiang, Song Shiyuan, and Song Xingru, prominent members of the Song family. As one of the five great Royal Families under the boundless expansion of the Torch Civilization, the Song family had naturally amassed an immense hoard of High Rank resources.

This prodigious accumulation had propelled the Heavenly Ruins Song Family's current might to heights far surpassing their standing over a hundred thousand years prior.

Considering just those gathered in the Dragon Whale Hall, aside from Song Yan, the recently appointed Mythical Immortal Captain, luminaries such as Song Wujiang, Song Shiyuan, Song Xingru, Shen Youran, Ying Jing (Bai Mei), Song Yiming, and Song Xuancang held the esteemed rank of Superdimensional Captain. Meanwhile, individuals like Song Chao, Chen Lixia, Song Mingsong, Song Shan, Song Hanyu, Song Ting, Song Bei, and Song You were all distinguished Eighth Rank Star River Captains.

This formidable assembly did not represent the entirety of the Song family's peak combat strength. Over the span of a hundred thousand years, the family had nurtured a multitude of exceptional young talents. Among them, prodigies had even attained the Superdimension realm within a mere ten thousand years, alongside numerous additional Eighth Rank Star River Captains.

It could be confidently asserted that the Heavenly Ruins Song Family of the present era rightfully deserved its designation as a Heavenly Pillar Royal Family.

"Little Chi, proceed without hesitation. The family's grand momentum is already established. You need not concern yourself with trivial matters; simply focus on your advancement to the Twelfth Rank."

"Furthermore, have you dispatched word to Emperor Jiang and the others? Ensure all preparations are meticulously made for your ascension to the Twelfth Rank Mythical Transcendence Ship."

Upon receiving these instructions, Song Chi offered a subtle nod, signaling that all arrangements were already in motion.

With his family affairs settled, Song Chi’s form flickered, vanishing instantly from the Dragon Whale Hall.

Heavenly Ruins Continent, situated deep within the Earth Core Space.

Two figures, Jiang Yuan and Ying Yi, were already in attendance, awaiting Song Chi's arrival.

As for Ji Heng and Ferdinand, their current assignments placed them within the Chaos Divine Land and the Bottomless Abyss, respectively. These two regions, the sole existing semi-high-dimensional territories, were sites where the Torch Civilization had re-established the Cities of Chaos and Abyss, designating them as paramount sources of High Rank resources.

The three exchanged acknowledging glances before offering gentle nods.

Without preamble, Song Chi positioned himself directly before the Origin Core of the Heavenly Ruins Continent. With a wave of his hand, a luminous cluster radiating a potent aura of origin materialized in his grasp. In the subsequent instant, he unhesitatingly propelled the energy cluster towards the Heavenly Ruins Continent's Origin Core. Sensing the familiar resonance of its kindred aura, the Origin Core of the Heavenly Ruins Continent unleashed a powerful suction force, commencing the process of assimilating and integrating this core originating from a Star Continent.

The lingering influence of the Torch Civilization extended across hundreds of River System communities in its periphery. While Star Continents were not commonplace, they could still be found.

The Origin Core currently being utilized originated from a vast River System community positioned billions of light-years away. It hailed from a Tenth Rank resource-type Floating Land. Following the extraction of half its Origin Core by the Torch Civilization, this landmass would require tens of millions, or even billions, of years to painstakingly reconstruct its foundational essence, barely maintaining equilibrium while averting utter devastation.

Heavenly Ruins Continent, deep within the Earth Core Space.

The moment the Tenth Rank Star Continent's Origin Core, retrieved from a distant River System, made contact with the Origin of the Heavenly Ruins Continent, it was akin to a stray spark igniting a cauldron of fiercely boiling oil!

Buzz—!!!

The entirety of the Earth Core Space reverberated with a violent tremor. The Origin Core of the Heavenly Ruins Continent began to spin at an unprecedented velocity, emitting a colossal devouring vortex that relentlessly ensnared, fragmented, and integrated the external origin.

The immense Eleventh Rank Origin Energy surged like a breached dam, flooding into every conceivable nook and cranny of the already saturated Heavenly Ruins Continent.

Rumble!

Beyond the continent's confines, the entire Heavenly Ruins Continent shuddered with intense quakes. Its geographical expanse visibly expanded outwards, with new mountain ranges erupting from the nascent terrain and expansive oceans materializing from seemingly nowhere.

High above, the very Dao Rules manifested, coalescing into myriad incandescent rune chains. These chains interlinked and bolstered the colossal continent as it underwent a profound transformation in its hierarchical classification.

From the depths of the earth veins, resounding dragon roars echoed, as if countless Ancestor Dragons of the Earth Veins were exulting and awakening.

"It has commenced!" Jiang Yuan’s gaze was laden with gravity as he and Ying Yi stood guard on either side of Song Chi. Their Divine Senses, akin to an unseen shroud, enveloped the entire Heavenly Ruins Continent, vigilantly scanning for any impending threats.

With bated breath, Song Chi concentrated all his spiritual energy, merging it with the continent that sustained him. He directed the surging Origin Power, aiming to shatter the formidable barrier of the Twelfth Rank.

This endeavor stretched for a full six months.

As the half-year mark concluded, the Heavenly Ruins Continent's expansion reached its zenith. The rule runes suspended in its firmament solidified entirely, morphing into an eternal halo that embraced the heavens. Concurrently, the deep roars of dragons within the earth veins converged into a deafening sound that resonated through the Star River.

BOOM!

An aura far grander and more imposing than that of a Tenth Rank Star Continent unfurled. It awakened like a colossal Star Sea God, dormant for eons, radiating from the Heavenly Ruins Continent. This power permeated the entire Torch Civilization Divine Territory, drawing even the attention of distant entities such as the Sky-splitting God King and the Eternal Ancestor.

The Eleventh Rank Star Continent had been forged!

And, precisely at the juncture when the continent's advancement reached completion, as old and new rules underwent a transition, a torrent of origin, more potent than tangible tides, erupted—

"This is the moment!"

Song Chi's eyes blazed with intensity, his consciousness perfectly synchronized with the flagship, the [Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong].

The meticulously prepared Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong materialized above the Heavenly Ruins Continent's Origin Core, resembling an abyss without end. It was completely submerged by the surging tidal energy of the Eleventh Rank Floating Land Origin. Every single Dao rune etched upon it ignited instantly, voraciously consuming this unparalleled ascension nourishment, an event that occurred only once in a million years.
