Global Era of Star Trekking

Chapter 1364: Chapter 716: [Slaughterous Battle]

Although he figured this out, Song Chi still didn’t take the initiative to speak; he wanted to hear the specific purpose of this [Father of Truth].

In the prolonged over 300,000 years, the Torch Human Civilization has become famous throughout the Endless Star Sea. If there were a simpler way to capture the [Eye of Truth], that would be all the better.

Seeing that he didn’t intend to speak, the [Father of Truth] above spoke again:

[Over the long years, there have been many times when Torch Warships of the Star Annihilation Level descended on this River System Community, but none have ever proactively become enemies of my Truth Mechanical Civilization. Your current actions have already broken that tacit understanding...]

[However, none of that matters. Stop all actions at the [Earth Core Creation God Base] immediately and return all the parts of the dismantled Truth Battle Star. If you can do this, we might be able to discuss specific cooperation plans afterward!]

After the [Father of Truth] finished speaking, there was silence in the sky for nearly twenty seconds. However, Song Chi also knew that he couldn’t delay for too long. Seeing the timing was about right, a cold voice came from the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong.

"Oh, I wonder what Lord [Father of Truth] means by specific cooperation?"

As he spoke, he simultaneously called on the Abyss Demon below via mind transmission, urging it to dismantle with all its might.

Of course, this obvious stalling tactic could not fool the other side. They might have already seen everything in the "Earth Core Creation God Base" underground, thanks to the help of the [Eye of Truth].

Given this speculation, Song Chi naturally had a corresponding plan.

On his command, all the enslaved creatures in the Earth Core Creation God Base were fully engaged in dismantling the mechanical... No, according to the [Father of Truth], it should be called the [Truth Battle Star]. But aside from the initial period, all the parts dismantled from the [Truth Battle Star] were carefully stored in one storage capsule after another.

As for the larger parts, they were stored in Dimension Space Stones, Void Beast Skins, Storage Bags, and other large storage tools.

In this way, even if the [Father of Truth] observed everything from above, it wouldn’t hasten His actions too much. After all, from the opposite perspective, these parts might have been dismantled, but they were still present. Even if negotiations failed later, He had enough confidence to retrieve all the parts.

As Song Chi expected, even though the [Father of Truth] realized Song Chi was stalling, He did not point it out but instead explained unhurriedly:

[You must already know that my Truth Mechanical Civilization is currently at war with the Star Sea Giant Ape Civilization. This war has been ongoing for 140,000 years, with both sides deadlocked.]

[If you are willing to return to the Torch Human Civilization and bring back Ninth-rank Superdimensional Captain reinforcements, my Truth Mechanical Civilization will not only fully assist you in enslaving those Ninth-rank Star Sea Giant Apes but also offer generous gifts after the war!]

Upon hearing this, a cold smile flashed across Song Chi’s heart.

Not to mention that the Four Great Empires of the Torch Human Civilization are waging a super-civilization war that surpasses this River System Community, and they cannot muster peak combat power to aid another battlefield. Even if they could, what about it?

Why should a Star-Annihilating Starship Captain from a Duchy convince the Four Great Human Emperors to personally intervene?

The Four Great Human Emperors of the Torch Humanity, each carries the fate of the entire Torch Human Civilization, and each bears the lives of countless torch citizens on their shoulders. Every step they take must be thought through carefully; how could they lightly participate in top-tier civilization wars that are billions of light-years away?

And what if it’s a conspiracy by an Alien Civilization?

Even though he clearly understood this in his heart, Song Chi did not show any unusual expression outwardly. His demeanor remained unchanged as if he was pondering carefully for a moment, then he instinctively asked out of curiosity:

"Could you be more specific about the generous gifts you mentioned?"

At this moment, the curiosity wasn’t feigned but genuine. He was truly curious about what an experienced Ninth-rank Mechanical Dominator could offer.

In the sky, the red light on the mechanical head of the [Mechanical Father] flickered rapidly. This Ninth-rank Mechanical Dominator was clearly losing patience with Song Chi’s deliberate delays.

The frontline war was still ongoing, and the Star Sea Giant Ape Civilization was pressing forward step by step. He had only returned secretly using the power of oddities to avoid detection by the Star Sea Giant Ape Civilization and needed to resolve the situation with Song Chi as quickly as possible.

However, at a certain moment, the term [Torch Human Civilization] flashed again in His mind, and He ultimately suppressed the urge to take direct action, continuing to play along:

[If you can indeed facilitate this cooperation, you will be recognized as a friend of my Truth Mechanical Civilization, and we will not be stingy!]

As He spoke, a faint spatial fluctuation appeared on the mechanical body of the [Father of Truth], and then Song Chi spotted ten special light clusters appearing out of thin air.

These ten light clusters: two gold and eight black.

The two golden light clusters had threads of flame spilling out, unexpectedly two strands of fire seed oddities at the Golden Sanctuary level. With the opponent’s understanding of the Torch Human Civilization, it’s highly likely they could be converted into {Torch Tier Fire Source} fire seed oddities.

The eight black light clusters, each represented a Supreme Oddity.

"Indeed..."

For Song Chi now, Supreme Oddities were no longer that rare, so he didn’t lose composure. The reason he was inwardly grumbling was that previously in the Truth Vault, there were only six black oddities.
