Global Era of Star Trekking

Above the Vault of Heaven, to the right of the leading Zhulu Warship, the bow of a 1,200-meter-long cruiser was gathering white light, seemingly charging the Main Cannon’s Attack Feature.

Patrol Team Group Chat

“Song Qing: Second Uncle, just kill them! The Sword Slave Clan has always been our mortal enemy!”

No sooner had the young man’s voice fallen than the leading Zhulu Warship Captain promptly intervened.

“Stand down immediately!”

Faced with his Second Uncle’s reprimand, Song Qing reluctantly canceled the cannon’s charge with visible frustration.

Despite his displeasure, Song Qing had great respect for his Second Uncle, not only because Song Zhengyan had always taken care of him, but also because Song Zhengyan was a renowned genius of Dragon Abyss City in recent centuries. At less than 300 years old, he had already become the Captain of the Zhulu Warship, earning considerable fame in Dragon Abyss City.

Through the communication projection, Song Zhengyan glanced at his nephew. Seeing that, despite his frustration, Song Qing showed no hints of resentment, negativity, or gloom, Song Zhengyan offered a gentle explanation:

“This is a pivotal moment for Dragon Shark City to establish its reputation. As a neutral city, as long as no one causes trouble within our demarcated range, we absolutely cannot take action against outsiders. This is the foundational principle of a neutral city. Only by upholding this principle steadfastly can we solidify our reputation among the many alien races in the outside world. If we maintain this, Dragon Shark City can truly take root on the northern shore of the Shattered Sea.”

As he spoke, Song Zhengyan’s tone shifted, directing attention back to the few retreating Sword Slave Clan members in the distance.

“Though those Sword Slave Clan members were intent on chasing their prey, they didn’t actually cross into our demarcated boundary. Therefore, they cannot be killed. Do you understand?”

Upon hearing this explanation, Song Qing and the other eight patrol team members showed sudden realization in their expressions.

“Understood, Second Uncle. For the family’s plans for the next hundred years—no, the next thousand years—we will never make such mistakes again!”

…

As the ten warships above their heads sped away, the Third Rank half-snake person bowed deeply. Though it seemed a minor act for the Song Family’s patrol team, it was an immense act of kindness to the half-snake individual on the receiving end.

“Father…”

Enduring considerable injuries, the Third Rank half-snake person quickly reunited with his wife and child.

“Let’s move. We’ll head straight to Dragon Shark City. Though the city isn’t fully constructed yet, I’ve heard that some of its districts are already open to outsiders. If we can sell that item, it’ll be enough for us to live in the city for hundreds of years.”

Hearing this, the Second Rank female half-snake person hesitated slightly.

“That item is extremely valuable; otherwise, the Sword Slave Clan wouldn’t have targeted it. Won’t selling it directly be too dangerous?”

“Don’t worry about that. Back in the tribe, I already inquired. Dragon Shark City has excellent order—much better than that medium-sized [Tongjiao City] a million miles away. I even heard that half a year ago, a Second Rank alien sold a Silver Oddity here, and they’re still living well in the city!”

Seeing the mountain doesn’t mean reaching it.

Though the towering outline of Dragon Shark City was already visible, the four half-snake people pushed themselves tirelessly for three straight days before finally reaching the city.

Even this was only possible because the Third Rank half-snake couple took turns carrying their child to hasten their pace. Otherwise, it would have taken even longer.

At Dragon Shark City’s North Gate, the number of aliens entering the city was overwhelming. Mingling within the crowd, the four half-snake people were completely inconspicuous.

Forget Second or Third Rank—just a casual glance revealed numerous Fourth Rank aliens, and even a Fifth Rank Seahorse Clan member.

Despite the sheer number of aliens, there was no chaos. Everyone was orderly as they entered the city.

This was not only due to the deterrence of the Starry Sky Dragon Shark that revealed itself over a year ago, but also because of the partly constructed city wall by the North Gate.

One could see more than a dozen gigantic alien figures, each over ten thousand meters tall, fully engrossed in construction work. Among them were even two beings over a hundred thousand meters tall. Though their massive forms radiated terrifying Life Pressure, they diligently assisted in building the city.

“As expected, a city governed by Dominators is truly extraordinary…”

Witnessing this scene, the Third Rank half-snake person felt even more reassured and was sincerely happy for his tribe.

The half-snake tribe to which he belonged was not large, merely a small Fourth Level group on the northern shore of the Shattered Sea. The tribe had only two Fourth Rank half-snake individuals and was among the countless mid- to small-sized forces in the area.

Because their power was so limited, and the nearest reliable trade city was a million miles away, every trading trip posed immense risk. Over the past thousand years, the tribe had already lost over a hundred skilled half-snake individuals because of this.

“But now, Dragon Shark City is only tens of thousands of miles from our tribe’s settlement, which will make everything much easier.”

Just as the Third Rank half-snake person was envisioning a brighter future, a cold, emotionless voice in the universal Starry Sea language came from ahead.

“Entry fee: one wisp of First Rank Floating Land Origin!”

The half-snake person reacted immediately, handing over a single wisp of Second Rank Floating Land Origin.

“Hello, there are four of us in total!”

The gatekeeper, a Second Rank Robber Star Race member, accepted the Second Rank Floating Land Origin and quickly returned four wisps of First Rank Floating Land Origin as change.

“A 1:8 exchange rate? That’s much more reasonable than Tongjiao City’s 1:5.”

Murmuring to himself, the Third Rank half-snake person led his family into the city.

The very first thing the Third Rank half-snake person did upon entering was to rent a temporary residence to settle his wife and child. However, without tending to his injuries, he immediately headed for the trade street. Sёarch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Currently, Dragon Shark City had only opened its northern district. Though it had been open for just over half a year, the number of aliens converging in the city was already astonishingly high.
