Global Era of Star Trekking

Chapter 1462: Chapter 748: Final Metamorphosis of the Neutron Star Core Armor

Gazing back and forth between the Star Sea Giant Ape and the Floating Land Origin Eruption Eye, everything seemed normal, so Song Bei was about to turn away.

The next second, his peripheral vision suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure beside him. The abrupt discovery gave him a fright, enveloping his entire body with Sixth Rank Spectral Energy. The ghost light flickered at the center of his brow as he instinctively prepared to summon his flagship.

One must know that this was the deepest part of the cultivation base, with top-level secrecy, and he was also at the Sixth Rank with the aid of Double Pupils. For someone to appear silently around him was definitely beyond ordinary beings.

However, soon all his movements halted as he saw the identity of the figure beside him.

"Chi, why are you here? And couldn’t you have given me a heads-up? You nearly scared me to death!"

Beside him, Song Chi was all smiles, clearly noticing that Song Bei was indeed quite startled just now.

"The Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong has reached the limit of the Seventh Rank. I’m here to see if I can find any information on resources related to promotion."

Song Bei pondered briefly, then shook his head quickly.

"It’s difficult. Resources effective for promoting a Star River Ship are rare, especially during the rapid expansion period of Torch Civilization. Many Annihilation Starship Captains are attempting to impact Star River Ships recently. Even if such resources appear, they are typically snapped up at high prices early on."

Hearing this, Song Chi, who hadn’t held much hope, shifted the topic directly.

"How’s the arrangement at the cultivation base?"

"Not bad. Currently, over eighty percent of the Heavenly Star Grass has been nourished by the [Green Water Spiritual Spring]. The origins of the plants have all improved to some extent. Later, when the Demon God Floating Land officially ascends, under that Tenth Rank energy tide, at least thirty percent of the [Heavenly Star Grass] can complete their five-hundred-year transformation, about ten percent over a thousand years, and roughly capable of handling three thousand years."

Song Bei felt that the answer was fair, but it fell far short in Song Chi’s ears.

"That’s not enough, far too little. The Superb Heavenly Star Grass can only guarantee half a percent, so what about the higher-level [Heavenly Star Plants]? Surely, we can’t have just one plant out of every hundred?"

"It won’t be long before Uncle Xuancang also breaks through. With the Guidance Technique breakthrough to the Eighth Rank on my side, a large amount of [Heavenly Star Body Refining Liquid] will be even more necessary. The production of [Heavenly Star Plants] must be ensured!"

Song Bei was evidently quite distressed about this.

"There’s no helping it, it’s already the utmost effort. The output of [Green Water Spiritual Spring] and [Green Water Spiritual Spring] is limited. If each Heavenly Star Grass can receive one drop of spiritual spring nourishment, it’s already at their limit. Any more, and most of the Heavenly Star Grass in the cultivation base won’t receive any nourishment at all."

At this point, both fell silent.

Regarding the output of [Green Water Spiritual Spring] and [Green Water Spiritual Spring], Song Chi, as the owner, was all too clear.

The [Green Water Spiritual Spring] was obtained during the exploration of the Immortal Realm Continent Fragment, while the [Green Water Spiritual Spring] was accidentally acquired by a Second Rank clan member over two hundred years ago during an exploration in the Alien Star Domain.

Both had been sent early to the [Cultivation Secret Realm], leveraging the endless time acceleration within to hasten the production of both types of spiritual spring water with all their might.

Yet even so, time was ultimately limited, and the number of Heavenly Star Grass cultivated was startlingly high. This naturally resulted in the current situation.

Song Chi’s mind was racing, contemplating solutions rapidly.

In future, when he advances to the Eighth Rank, the practice of Guidance Technique will only become more challenging. Coincidentally, the limit of Blood and Flesh Ganoderma produced on the Evil Buddha Continent is only at the Seventh Rank. Without the aid of Blood and Flesh Ganoderma, the arduous cultivation outcome can be imagined. Hence, he must find a brand-new replacement.

And this [Heavenly Star Body Refining Liquid] is the substitute Song Chi had chosen. He could not allow any mishap.

"Does the clan currently have reserves of High-Rank Void Crystals?"

"We do, but not many!"

"Is that so? Have someone go to the Dragon Spine Continent to transfer them, and I’ll head to the Ruins Market first."

Hearing Song Chi’s command, Song Bei hesitated to speak.

"What’s the matter, anything else?"

Song Bei originally wanted to say that Song Chi could return to the Dragon Spine Continent anytime through the Zhu Tian Ruins Market at a faster speed than others. But after thinking, he figured that Song Chi probably had other serious matters, so he ultimately didn’t say it.

Before arranging on the penultimate floor for departure, he handed over the Neutron Star Remains that had been purchased at a high price from the Demon God Floating Land to Song Chi.

He also received another order from Song Chi.

"During this period, mobilize all the family shadow department members on the Demon God Floating Land to gather resources for the Annihilation Starship to impact the Star River Ship."

Although it had been mentioned before that these kinds of resources were practically nonexistent in the trading cities on the Demon God Floating Land, according to Song Chi.

The Demon God Floating Land public open area is vast, including major forces of the Four Great Empires of Torch and countless civilian captains. What if?

Anyway, the response from [Qin Yue Business Building] will take five years, so taking a chance now can’t hurt.

Song Bei would never oppose Song Chi’s arrangements, and he soon left to make arrangements.

As for the civilization relics mentioned earlier, he did not ask more.

The family currently has various pressing matters, combined with Song Chi preparing to impact the Star River while the Demon God Floating Land rises imminently. Short-term commitments are tight, so this matter will only be formally addressed once this period passes.

...

In the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, above the Vault of Heaven.

The Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, restored to its nearly 20,000 km flagship form, quietly hovered. Within the battleship main control room, as pieces of Neutron Star Remains merged, eternal dark light flickered continuously within the ship’s cabin.

At some moment, when the eternal dark light dissipated entirely, Song Chi saw the source that triggered all this once again.

Quality: Black (99/100)

Retracting his gaze from the attribute panel in front of him, Song Chi once again threw out a piece of neutron star remains.

Though the Demon Snake Floating Land and the Demon God Floating Land hadn’t collected much neutron star remains over these three hundred years, Song Chi had previously gathered a considerable amount. Besides, the Zhu Tian Ruins Market and the Red Star Continent had also been continuously collecting. The neutron star remnants in his hands were already sufficient.

As this critical piece of neutron star remains merged in, the eternal dark light emerged again within the warship. However, this time it was slightly different from before, with faint traces of a three-colored light interspersed in the flickering of the eternal dark light.

It’s unclear how much time passed before the two resplendent lights gradually dissipated. When Song Chi’s gaze returned to the Neutron Star Core Armor, the surrounding component already exhibited a vibrant three-colored appearance.

...

"As expected, like the temporary sublimation of the Mirror Image Warship, Feature 7 is also ’Gamma Ray Burst’..."

Glancing over this attribute panel in front of him, Song Chi quickly looked around, but his gaze finally focused on the [Quality] section.

The warship armor finally upgraded to colorful quality, which indeed brought joy to Song Chi’s heart. However, compared to this, he was more concerned about the potential of the Neutron Star Core Armor.

Or rather, whether the Neutron Star Core Armor could continue to evolve.

Colorful armor is impressive, yet above the lower rank of colorful, there are colorful upper ranks and colorful extreme positions. Whether the Neutron Star Core Armor has the hope for further advancement was what Song Chi focused on most.

Fortunately, he currently still had three pieces of neutron star remains in his hand.

"Phew!"

Taking a deep breath, Song Chi once again threw out a complete piece of neutron star remains, and both eyes were intently fixed on the component of the Neutron Star Core Armor.

The next second, the three-colored light shone once again within the warship, appearing to be the most beautiful beam Song Chi had seen to date.

At this moment, a faint laughter echoed in the Cang Qiong Main Control Room.

Since it was possible to continue fusing neutron star remains, it naturally indicated that the Neutron Star Core Armor still held potential for further evolution.

Suppressing the thrill in his heart, he continued to merge the last two pieces of neutron star remains into the Neutron Star Core Armor before Song Chi re-examined its component attributes.

Quality: Colorful/Lower Rank (3/300)

...

"Three hundred pieces, huh, hissing..."

Rubbing his forehead helplessly, Song Chi felt both frustrated and joyful inside.

The previous hundred pieces of neutron star remains already took him quite a while; who knows how long it would take to collect three hundred pieces.

However, he was obviously more satisfied with the fact that the Neutron Star Core Armor would at least be an upper-level colorful component in the future.

Up to now, he had also seen same-level colorful lower-rank warship armors, but compared to the Neutron Star Core Armor, their attributes were vastly inferior. It’s no exaggeration to say the Neutron Star Core Armor could be considered an absolute-grade warship armor.

In Song Chi’s view, this absolute-grade warship armor should not be replaced if possible. Now that it’s confirmed it can at least grow to a colorful upper-level, it indeed brought him a great sense of relief.

At least for now, this absolute-grade warship armor won’t need replacement for a long time.

...

After dealing with the Neutron Star Core Armor, Song Chi’s sight shifted towards the outside of the Spectral Shield of the Ruins Market, following the holographic exterior view.

The solution he previously thought of was simple. Since the production rate of the Green Water Spiritual Spring and the Clear Cyan Spiritual Spring couldn’t keep up, he would specifically enhance their nurturing speed.

The inherent "Secret Realm Accelerator" feature of Chicang’s No. 004 Breeding Secret Realm couldn’t change much, but there was still a way to hasten the time flow within the secret realm — by investing more secret realm acceleration resources.

With a sufficient quantity of high-rank Void Crystals for acceleration, the time flow within the cultivation secret realm would undoubtedly speed up further.

What Song Chi intended to do at this moment was precisely a plan he had attempted several times before.

Enter the depths of the Void Sea Dark Side to hunt high-rank Void Demons.
