Global Era of Star Trekking

Chapter 1418: Chapter 731: [River of Time] and [Postwar Allocation]

A millionfold time flow rate, it’s beyond terrifying. When we first acquired the [Time Chess Board], the highest time flow rate was only about a hundred thousand times.

Moreover, the key point is that we’re only at the very edge of the region. If we continue to approach the center of this Time Energy Source, this time flow rate will only become increasingly exaggerated.

"What could it be? Another ultra-high-rank time-related oddity like the [Time Chess Board]? Or is it purely a massive amount of time energy?"

Thoughts swirled in Song Chi’s mind for a moment, then he quickly pulled them back. Whatever it is, he would have to see for himself; there’s no use overthinking it here.

"The Time Chess Board can still hold on, continue..."

Even with a millionfold time flow rate, within the Mirror Image Warship under the effects of the [Time Chess Board], it only reached a hundredfold, which was not yet a level that would deter him.

With the roar of the engine, the Mirror Image Warship continued to surge forward.

As the warship rapidly traversed, the surrounding Time Energy Intensity unexpectedly continued to change.

Initially, it was only a millionfold.

Gradually, it increased to 1.1 million.

1.2 million

1.5 million

The Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong Image Warship had advanced less than a light-year forward when the time flow rate had terrifyingly increased to two millionfold.

And keep in mind, according to the detection results from the [Eye of Truth], the area covered by this Time Energy Source has a diameter of tens of light-years.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Who knows how long it was before the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong Image Warship, blazing all the way, suddenly decreased in speed and finally came to a complete stop.

This place was not the core region of the Time Energy Source; the sudden stop was due to Song Chi remotely detecting a special radiance not far away with his spirit.

"Silver light, could it be a Silver Star Sea Oddity?"

The warship turned and moved towards the silver glow. Upon closer approach, Song Chi confirmed that the source of the silver glow was indeed a legendary oddity.

Upon seeing this, he directed his thoughts, and simultaneously, a traction beam was emitted from the body of the Mirror Image Warship, intending to pull the silver oddity into the warship.

However, Song Chi was soon disappointed. Under the external millionfold time flow rate, the traction beam activated by the mirror image was equally affected by this terrifying time flow.

Inside the warship, with the protection of the [Time Chess Board], the external time energy could be weakened by ten thousandfold. But once out of the warship, it would be beyond the protective range.

Therefore, the end result was that the consumption of Spectral Energy to maintain the traction beam also increased by a millionfold. Even though the Mirror Image Warship had both the [Antimatter Energy Evolution Engine] and the [Flame Roar Engine] as engine components, the energy pools they carried were rapidly being drained.

Fortuitously, Song Chi’s attention remained extremely focused, and he promptly canceled the traction beam. Otherwise, just a few seconds late, and the entire Spectral Energy reserve within the Mirror Image Warship would have been entirely depleted, causing the whole warship to go into temporary shutdown.

Pondering for a few seconds, Song Chi decided to have the enslaved species remaining in the Mirror Image Warship activate the [Ruins Market Projection Rank].

Each use of the [Ruins Market Projection Rank] is roughly equivalent to a silver oddity, meaning he wouldn’t necessarily be at a loss. If the silver oddity outside could be converted into a ship-mounted component, it would be akin to earning half a piece of a silver component.

Fortunately, the Ruins Market’s position was high enough that even with an external time flow of millions, the projected Purple Mist Energy was not significantly affected. Under Song Chi’s remote control, the silver legendary oddity was quickly extracted into the Mirror Image Warship and subsequently delivered into Song Chi’s hands at the Zhu Tian Ruins Market.

[Oddity: Illusion Armor]

[Quality: Silver]

[Convertible: None]

[Remark: During the Multiverse Era, the River of Time connecting All Heavens and Myriad Worlds shattered along with many universes, turning into numerous ruins of time scattered across the Shattered Starry Sea. One of the remnants of the River of Time unintentionally cultivated this oddity.]

After reading the attributes of this oddity, Song Chi’s eyes sparkled.

The attribute information perfectly introduced the source of this unknown Time Energy Source.

"Ruins of the River of Time..."

"I initially thought it was a fictional concept from novels of the past life, but I didn’t expect it to truly exist..."

"Even a small fragment of the Ruins of the River of Time is so terrifying, what unimaginable power did the actual River of Time once possess?"

Reflecting, Song Chi quickly refocused, his gaze falling back onto the silver legendary oddity in his hand.

More precisely, onto the special material covering the surface of the silver oddity.

Knowing from the experience of the three ancestors, Song Chi was well aware that under this boundless mighty power of time, even a silver legendary oddity would decay over time unless there was some special reason, let alone a Black Supreme Oddity.

The replica components on the three Star-Annihilating Starships, while not truly oddity components, cannot be dismantled or upgraded, and their limitations are vast.

But one thing is certain: their oddity nature is evident, possibly with some peculiarities, but the essence cannot be changed.

Since they can be eroded and decayed by the power of time, it similarly implies other Starry Sea Oddities can also suffer the same fate.

Therefore, in Song Chi’s view, for a silver legendary oddity to be perfectly preserved amid this millionfold time flow, it must possess some specific uniqueness.

Under Song Chi’s careful manipulation, the special transparent energy membrane enveloping the surface of this [Illusion Armor] was soon completely stripped away.
