Chapter 819 - 430: 5 Years
As for the southern part of the Chaotic Star Field, it, like the Red River Star Domain, had long been divided up and there was no share left for the Song Family.
After the allocation was completed, it wasn’t long before the other four major leaders of the principality took their respective fleets and left, leaving only the Song Family Fleet in the western Chaotic Star Field.
The encrypted group chat created by [Dinghai Dragon Steed] popped up with messages one after another.
“Song Dingbang: A golden super main cannon is almost certain now!”
“Song Tianshu: Actually, it’s within our expectations isn’t it? Counting from before the founding of the nation, the Chenxing Clan has existed for over six thousand years, so it’s not surprising to have such components like a golden super main cannon!”
“Song Tianhao: How should we plan the clearing and advancement of this western star domain next?”
Looking at the messages in the group chat, Song Chi pondered for a moment and then actively sent a message.
“Song Chi: This youngster needs Black Hole Dense Stone, Space Lock Stone, and Void Crystals above Fifth Rank. If you elders come across these resources later, remember to save them for your grandson!”
Saying this, his eyes shifted, and then he continued:
“By the way, I recently visited the Chaotic Floating Land and just so happened to encounter the hidden Moruo Clan there. These are obtained by your grandson from the underground bases of those Moruo Clan.”
After that, he took out the complete set of Moruo Space-Escape Mech blueprints, including one that had been scaled down to tens of meters in height by the [Proportional Scaling Instrument].
Initially stunned by his sudden remarks, the clan elders soon began to smile as they finished looking through the transmitted Moruo Space-Escape Mech plans.
A Moruo Space-Escape Mech blueprint scalable up to Fifth Rank Level, if the family research department could indeed solve all the challenges later and even manage mass production, would certainly become one of the vital essences of the family.
Of course, mass production is very difficult, because this Moruo Space-Escape Mech requires Space Lock Stones, a special spatial type of resource, and even though the family had controlled the Moruo Secret Realm decades ago, it’s impossible to produce Space Lock Stones in large quantities.
After all, high-order Void Crystals are not resources one can obtain easily, and without high-order Void Crystals, it wouldn’t be possible to continuously accelerate the time in the Moruo Secret Realm to acquire its special secret realm products in large quantities.
As for the Fifth Rank Moruo Space-Escape Mecha, it is even more a supplement to the family’s current high-level combat power.
Though the western part of this Chaotic Star Field has essentially been cleared, who can guarantee there are no Fifth Rank Alien Species lurking?
Eventually, the Song Family Fleet will have to continue moving north, entering the territory of the Robber Star Civilization, and it’s essential to have high-level combat power stationed at the great rear.
Originally, everyone was considering whether leaving a few Fourth-order Zhulu Warship Captains was enough, now with this Fifth Rank Moruo Space-Escape Mecha, by summoning a Fifth Rank Moruo Clan from the Dragon Spine Continent and enslaving it with enslavement components to have it stationed here would be most suitable.
“Song Xingru: Chi, aren’t you able to return to Dragon Spine Continent anytime? The task of summoning that Fifth Rank Moruo Clan is left to you. Regarding your reward, the family will fully collect resources like Black Hole Dense Stone, Space Lock Stone, and Fifth Rank Void Crystals for you later, the kind that is free of charge.”
…
Time passed and in the blink of an eye, over four years passed by.
Following the continuous clearing and exploitation by various fleets of the Song Family of this western Chaotic Star Field, after more than four years, this region has been fundamentally controlled by the Song Family.
Today, Song Chi, who was meditating inside Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong suddenly opened his eyes as the Long-range Communication Plate loaded not long ago sent a notification.
[Communication Sub-disk (1): Little Chi, we’ve found quite a number of Space Lock Stones, do you still want them?]
[Main Communication Disk: Yes, coming immediately!]
With a slight joy on his face, Song Chi recalled that the first communication sub-disk was given to an elder of the Heavenly Wilderness Tribe, and Song Tianmang, who is currently in charge of clearing and developing a level 3 “No-Light” Floating Land.
Thinking of this, he turned his gaze towards the detailed star chart of the western Chaotic Star Field, while controlling Cangqiong to rise from the surface of a level 5 Starry Floating Continent and soon jumping towards the No-Light Floating Land.
It must be said, this [Long-range Communication Plate] component is extremely convenient.
After strengthening to lv50, this red component’s communication range exploded from the initial 0.2 light-years to 20,000 light-years, also the number of communication sub-disks that can be concentrated at the same time reached 6; currently, his grandfather, dad, Song Ting including several clan elders and Song Dingbang each have one, it is completely possible to allow both parties to communicate in critical times.
As for [Ruins Market Guest Rank] [Ruins Market Walking Rank] and others, it’s not that he is unwilling to give them to his parents and family, it’s just that the Zhu Tian Ruins Market involves too much, the fewer who know, the safer it is.
As for informing Shen Youran, that was also a choice made when there was no other option; compared to him who often stays by his parents’ side, Shen Youran is too far away, and without utilizing the Ruins Market Token, it would be very difficult to communicate or meet at any time.
Even so, Shen Youran also took out a part of [Oath Pact], proactively requesting to sign a secrecy agreement.
Buzz Buzz Buzz!
Accompanied by the successful activation of the [Aurora Transition Device], Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong quickly arrived at No-Light Floating Land.
As a level 3 Floating Land, the diameter of No-Light Floating Land is just about ten million kilometers, and the Alien Species within the Floating Land are up to a Third Rank Level at most; it shouldn’t have disturbed Song Tianmang, an extreme-level Zhulu Warship Captain, but because there was a Third Rank Peak Floating Land Shield, Song Tianmang was only required to make a trip.
Now that the Floating Land Shield of No-Light Floating Land has been broken, the family’s ordinary starships have already started to mine resources from above the Floating Land.
Floating Land Firmament, [Shocking Wave Scarlet Menace] quietly hung there, watching the transport starships constantly rising and falling in the distance.
“That was fast? It seems that this Space Lock Stone indeed greatly benefits you!”
The moment the two warships established communication, Song Tianmang’s voice immediately rang out.
Song Chi smiled and did not deny it.
This Space-Escape Stone was related to subsequent enhancements of the Divine Country Mission Platform. Having obtained this Golden Sanctuary Wondrous Oddity for several years, he had yet to enhance its level. How could he not be eager?
Song Tianmang saw the eagerness in Song Chi’s eyes, didn’t tease him further, and quickly sent over a storage capsule using a traction beam.
“Almost two thousand…”
As his gaze swept through the storage capsule, Song Chi felt a surge of joy.
With such an amount of Space-Escape Stone, it would undoubtedly be enough to enhance the Divine Country Mission Platform to level 60 or higher.
Suppressing the joy in his heart, Song Chi then asked:
“Grandpa Tianmang, where were these Space-Escape Stones found?”
He was quite curious about this question.
As a type of special space resource, he was well aware of its rarity. Even within an energy trading circle like the Shaking Light Star Tower, only a few hundred were available in the secret vaults of an Eighth Rank Gate; one can imagine its scarcity.
Logically speaking, being merely a Level 3 Floating Land, even if Space-Escape Stones occurred, there should only be a few, so how could there be so many?
Unless…
“Could it be a Secret Realm?”
Hearing his soft conjecture, Song Tianmang on the other end nodded with a smile.
“Correct, it is indeed a Secret Realm, albeit it’s just a lowest-level Shattered Secret Realm. The original environment of the realm is severely damaged, leaving only this “Space-Escape Stone” mine resource point, with no other resources available.”
“This realm was controlled by a minor alien race on the No-Light Floating Land. You’re quite lucky, kid. This alien race had no channel to sell them, so they accumulated almost two thousand over the years.”
Hearing this, Song Chi realized in a flash and lightly raised his hand to pull out the largest storage capsule, ready to extract the equivalent value of Floating Land Origin.
However, Song Tianmang directly stopped him.
“Stop, stop, stop! We already agreed that this was your reward for submitting the Moruo Space-Escape Mech schematic and the Fifth-Order Space-Escape Mech. You’re still at a bit of a loss with this. Later, the clan will also allocate a batch of Golden Merit Points to you!”
Seeing Song Tianmang’s firm attitude, Song Chi did not insist further. After a private chat with him for a while, he then returned to the Starry Floating Continent.
Now that he had enough Space-Escape Stones, he was eager to enhance the Divine Country Mission Platform to the Sixth Rank, so that he could introduce this powerful new configuration to the Starry Sea Alien Race entering the market next time during the Zhu Tian Ruins Market.
Zhu Tian Ruins Market, Extra Configuration Area.
The current level 47 Ruins Market had 20 slots for extra configurations, and with the Divine Country Mission Platform, only three configurations were loaded, but there were only 13 slots remaining.
However, there was nothing he could do about it; after all, this Golden Sanctuary Quality of the Divine Country Mission Platform alone took up 5 slots.
Without giving much attention to this detail, Song Chi soon started the enhancement.
[Do you want to use 6 strands of Fourth Rank Floating Land Origin+150000 Spectral Energy Points+125 Titanium Crystals+6 Law Stones+61 Space-Escape Stones to enhance the Divine Country Mission Platform from lv40 to lv41?]
“Confirm!”
Finally, he consumed a total of 1470 Space-Escape Stones, successfully enhancing the Divine Country Mission Platform to lv60.
Seeing that he had more than four hundred Space-Escape Stones remaining, Song Chi did not intend to keep them and enhanced it by another 5 levels, allowing the Divine Country Mission Platform to reach lv65.
After completing this, Song Chi looked at the remaining Titanium Crystals and Sixth Rank Floating Land Origin in his hands, finally placing them on the currently level 63 Yin Yang Offsetting Annihilation Shield component.
Finally, when the Titanium Crystals and Sixth Rank Floating Land Origin were just used up, the Yin Yang Offsetting Annihilation Shield component reached lv67, only 2 levels shy of the maximum enhancement level for the Zhulu Warship.
However, this also made him once again a “poor man” — a poor man in terms of Titanium Crystals and Sixth Rank Floating Land Origin though. He still had plenty of Fifth Rank and lower Floating Land Origins.
Low-level Floating Land Origins had even surpassed one billion. Recently, he had given several hundred million strands to Wang Zhen to purchase various Starry Sea Oddities at full capacity.
Now was the time for the entire duchy to divide the Chaotic Star Field, and a key moment for a large influx of Starry Sea Oddities into the market, Song Chi naturally would not let Wang Zhen’s side lack sufficient purchasing funds.
Song Chi felt a bit helpless about the speed of this resource consumption. After all, he had just taken over the Moruo Clan Elder’s headquarters not long ago. If it weren’t for this, he wouldn’t have so many resources to enhance the Long-range Communication Plate, Divine Country Mission Platform, and Yin Yang Offsetting Annihilation Shield.
However, the good news was that as a few years had passed, the family side had accumulated nearly a decade’s worth of Sequence Subsidies. Once collected, he would have a substantial amount of resources again.
Aside from these, more than four years had passed, and it was nearing the deadline given by the Yaohan Kingdom. In the past two months, including the entire Chenxing Principality fleet, they were making the final preparations to head north.
