Global Era of Star Trekking

[Eastern Rivers System]

“Let’s go to this [Eastern Rivers System], which is the center of dozens of river systems in the eastern Xian Qin, and has a direct link to the [Xian Qin River System] via the dark energy long-distance transmission platform.”

“Of course, the most crucial thing is that this [Eastern Border River System] already has a direct transmission service to the [Eastern Rivers System]!”

With this point confirmed, Song Chi and his companions had no further hesitation, and the three warships headed straight for the Eastern Border central star gate transmission base station.

“Halt! Routine inspection, please cooperate with the Eastern Border Royal Court’s work!”

Regarding this routine inspection, Song Chi wasn’t aware of whether it was customary or triggered by the previous incident, but regardless, he didn’t mind.

Because he is now the captain of the [Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong] Fearless Ship.

After a round of checks, the three warships were unsurprisingly allowed to pass.

They were quite lucky this time; having just entered the star gate transmission base station and purchasing a transmission ticket, they were told the transmission time was tomorrow, with no delay at all.

The next day, the three warships swept out from the Eastern Rivers star gate transmission base station. Before setting off to the dark energy long-distance transmission platform directly connected to the [Xian Qin River System], Song Chi and his companions’ gaze was caught by the boundless super Floating Land below.

This Floating Land is called [Eastern Rivers Floating Land], although it belongs to the category of eighth-level life-form Star Sea Floating Lands like the [Eastern Border Floating Land], it is far more awe-inspiring than the [Eastern Border Floating Land], which has just entered the eighth-level Floating Land for barely ten thousand years.

It is said that when the Immortal Qin Dynasty first developed this Eastern Rivers System, the [Eastern Rivers Floating Land] naturally was already an eighth-level Floating Land. Nearly twenty thousand years have passed since then, and with the full cultivation efforts of the Eastern Torch Royal Court, it has long reached the peak of an eighth-level Floating Land, with a diameter nearing five hundred thousand light-years.

Five hundred thousand light-years, what does that mean?

It alone occupies a small half of the river system.

Staring at this majestic Floating Land, Song Yan’s voice rang out in the communications group chat.

“A peak eighth-level Floating Land, I wonder if using it to drive our family’s [Dragon Whale Hall] can activate all of its might?”

Upon hearing his self-talk, Song Chi was also somewhat intrigued and replied:

“A peak eighth-level Floating Land, with the vastness of one Floating Land, the energy it can drive wouldn’t be weaker than a ninth-level lifeform in the Star Sea, so it’s certainly possible to activate the full might of [Dragon Whale Hall].”

After saying this, he paused for a moment and then continued:

“Of course, I’m only talking about the current black supreme quality [Dragon Whale Hall]. If it were the colorful mythical quality [Dragon Whale Hall], after undergoing three repairs, it probably wouldn’t be sufficient…”

His tone carried uncertainty, as the greatness of ninth-tier, eighth-level entities still felt quite distant to them.

Slowly withdrawing their gaze from the gigantic Floating Land below, the brief awe passed, and the three continued towards their goal.

According to some information they had previously gathered, the dark energy long-distance transmission platform leading to the [Xian Qin River System] is located in the outer sky of the Floating Land’s center, several tens of thousands of light-years away from their current location.

But that’s not too bad, as the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong and the other two warships are equipped with a silver quality Jump Device, and after a few jumps, they should arrive.

The next day, strong spatial fluctuations were again transmitted from the starry sky outside [Eastern Rivers Floating Land], and three warships emerged one after another from the jump passage.

“This…”

Staring straight ahead, Song Yan remained silent for a long time.

The reaction from Song Chi in Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong was somewhat better, but the shock was still overwhelming.

In their previous imagination, they only thought this [dark energy long-distance transmission platform] would not look much different from a star gate transmission base station, but now seeing it, they were indeed shocked.

What appeared before them was not a typical base station but a mechanical city with a staggering size.

The entire body was made with super alloy, enveloped in a dark energy shield with extremely high energy levels, and the steel walls were filled with various large-caliber Ash Type III dark energy annihilation cannons. At the top of this mechanical city, there was even an oversized interstellar ground-based Truth Cannon with a diameter exceeding ten thousand kilometers.

Its sheer size made the Star-Annihilating Starship look like an insignificant toy.

While Song Chi and the others were stunned, Song Wujiang’s voice rang out in the communications group chat.

“From what I know, this is a Titan I Starry Sky Mechanical Fortress developed by the Xian Qin Heavy Industry Group over tens of thousands of years. It possesses eighth-order energy level defense and firepower, and the fortress’ top interstellar ground-based Truth Cannon, once fully charged, can ignite a ninth-tier Truth Light.”

Listening to the ancestor’s explanation, the personnel inside the mechanical fortress successfully verified the identities of the three warships, and soon, the [Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong] and the other two warships drove into the mechanical fortress.

Compared to the crowded distant star gate transmission bases, the interior of this Starry Sky Mechanical Fortress felt particularly deserted.

But Song Chi and the others could understand this, because they had just learned that to travel through the [dark energy long-distance transmission platform] to the [Xian Qin River System], every Torch Warship needed to pay 100 strands of seventh-order Floating Land Origin.

Such a high price, who wouldn’t shy away?

But compared to a metal universal cooldown reduction component, this seemed worthwhile, so they didn’t leave.

Half a month later, the fortress gathered a hundred captains needing transmission, which was the minimum for every activation of the [dark energy long-distance transmission platform].

“[Dinghai Dragon Steed] Star-Annihilating Warship, are you sure you want to proceed with the transmission?”

“Sure!”

“Then please pay the transmission fee of 100 strands of seventh-order Floating Land Origin!”

…

In the center area inside the mechanical fortress, a black stone platform over one hundred thousand kilometers in diameter saw over a hundred warships quietly docked.

As the fortress staff officially activated the platform’s transmission function, three large dark energy reactors began to work at overload below the fortress.

As time passed, more and more dark energy gathered within the black stone platform, and when the accumulated dark energy exceeded a limit, violent spatial fluctuations began to emerge from the platform.

The next second, a dark energy light column with a diameter of one hundred thousand kilometers soared into the sky, shooting towards the distant dark starry sky through the top of the mechanical fortress.

Simultaneously, the hundred Torch Warships inside the fortress began to dematerialize, and eventually, they disappeared inside the mechanical fortress, transported millions of light-years away to the core star domain of the Immortal Qin Dynasty.

Immortal Qin Dynasty, Xian Qin River System, Immortal Qin Continent.

Rather than saying the Xian Qin River System is the center of the entire Immortal Qin Dynasty, it’s more accurate to say the Immortal Qin Ancestor Land is the center, because the so-called Xian Qin River System actually contains only one Floating Land, with no other objects.

That’s right, Immortal Qin Continent, this life-form Floating Land, already reaching the pinnacle of level nine, with a diameter exceeding three million light-years, occupying an entire river system.

The Immortal Qin Continent, as the ancestor land for the Immortal Qin Dynasty, initially was just a peak eighth-level life-form Floating Land. More than twenty thousand years ago, it was controlled by an advanced civilization called the Ghost Eyes Clan.

But at that time, the Shenxia Dynasty had already been established for tens of thousands of years, actively expanding, and eventually, ancestors from the Ying Clan fought through thorns and and defeated the Ghost Eyes Clan civilization, establishing it as the ancestor land of the Ying Clan.

Now, more than twenty thousand years later, with the full cultivation efforts of the Ying Clan from the Royal Court of Heavenly Pillars, this Floating Land has reached the present state.
