Global Era of Star Trekking

Chapter 1737: Chapter 847: [Mythic War] _2

Precisely because of this, over the past decades, the number of dangers faced by the Mirror Image Warship Fleet exceeded those of the previous centuries. Even the replicated "Time Chess Board" has only seven chances left for the "Twelve Lives Life and Death Chess", yet Song Chi does not regret it. The diameter of the Origin Star is comparable to a River System Community in the Shattered Starry Sea; a small open area for exploration by beings below the mythical level is insignificant within it.

Simply put, the truly valuable areas are actually those that have never been opened, containing a wealth of good things.

This time, the exploration target chosen by Song Chi is precisely the Crevice Area.

The Mirror Image Warship dives along the crust fissure into the "Time Abyss", and through the replicated "Eye of Truth", Song Chi continuously observes the surrounding breathtaking scene—

The entire canyon is composed of countless shattered time-space mirrors, each reflecting images of exploration teams from different eras on the Origin Star. As the warship passes through the seventh layer of space-time folds, it suddenly detects three waves of mythical energy fluctuations.

In the Zhu Tian Ruins Market Firmament, within the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong Control Room, Song Chi’s gaze abruptly sharpens.

At the deepest point of the trench, within the pitch-black crevice full of time rupture rules and in a dimension space seemingly belonging to another era, there floats a crystal platform, with three majestic figures silently confronting each other from different corners.

On the left is a mechanical lifeform entirely constructed of dark purple crystal stones and alloy, with runes in quantum state flowing over its surface; each step leaves a transient "data afterimage" in time-space.

This is a mythical mechanical entity from the Creation Mechanical Civilization—Heavenly Destruction, and its intelligent brain chip is equipped with a logic virus capable of rewriting reality rules.

On the right coils a time-space worm with nine heads; each head corresponds to a different flow rate of time, and the central head even appears semi-transparent in a "void state", as if it could vanish from the current timeline at any moment.

This is the special lifeform "time-space worm", a tenth-rank mythical unit known as the Mother of Time Erosion, a terrifying entity that feeds on Time Law and Rules.

However, what concerns Song Chi the most is the third figure floating outside the two.

It is a humanoid entity shrouded in a gray robe, with its face enveloped in a hazy mist of time, holding a rust-covered Bronze Hall Gate with its right hand.

The surface of the hall gate is inscribed with densely packed dimensional coordinates, and each slight tremor causes a cascade of collapses in the surrounding time-space mirrors.

"Broken Door of the Temple of Time..." Song Chi’s pupils constrict.

Through the replicated "Eye of Truth", he instantly grasps the essence of this Bronze Hall Gate—it’s a shattered portal that could trace back to the ruins of the Time Divine Hall.

The reason for being able to recognize the origins of the Bronze Hall Gate so swiftly is not mainly due to the replicated "Eye of Truth" and the eighth-rank Heavy Pupil; it is primarily because Song Chi himself possesses another item related to the Time Divine Hall—the Key of Time Divine Hall Inheritance.

Having obtained the Key of Time Divine Hall Inheritance in the deepest part of the broken River of Time thousands of years ago, yet never having found the Time Divine Hall, should he acquire the Bronze Hall Gate now, it would greatly enhance his chances of locating the Time Divine Hall in the future.

Additionally, at the center of the three-way confrontation, an irregular polyhedral crystal floats.

Within this crystal is sealed a drop of silvery-white liquid, which, upon encountering external energy fluctuations touching the crystal’s surface, materializes phantom images of civilizations from different eras.

"Time Source Liquid!" Song Chi’s breath catches.

Being of the same category as a Time Source Crystal in terms of special resources, both can actively reduce the cooldown time of Starry Sea Oddity features. However, unlike the solid-state Time Source Crystal, the Time Source Liquid is the result of the liquefaction of a Time Source Crystal through special conditions. By Song Chi’s estimation, the volume of Time Source Liquid within this polyhedron would require at least a ton of Time Source Crystal to be refined.

A ton of Time Source Crystal can shorten the cooldown time by 1 million years, making its value unquestionable. It’s clear that the three parties are after it.

Just as the rune tendrils on the surface of Heavenly Destruction’s mechanical body aggressively extend toward the polyhedral crystal, the gray-robed figure suddenly lifts the Bronze Hall Gate.

An invisible ripple of time radiates outward, freezing the movements of the Creation Mechanical Civilization’s Heavenly Destruction Mirage Machine, causing the quantum runes on the surface to stagnate.

"Time Freeze..." Song Chi is alarmed.

Even though the Mirror Image Warship concealed deep in a void is far from the crystal platform, he still senses a peculiar sluggishness through the mental link within the warship’s cabin!

Despite the sluggishness being virtually negligible under the support of the replicated "Time Chess Board", one must not forget that the Void Warehouse’s remote absorption capacity requires direct influence on the void where the target is located, and Song Chi is unsure whether it will be affected by the Time Freeze.

"Can’t force it."

Song Chi decisively alters his strategy; both the Broken Door of the Temple of Time and the Time Source Liquid are extremely important to him, and he cannot afford to gamble.

He discreetly maneuvers the Mirror Image Warship to retreat to the shadow of the space-time folds, while controlling the replicated Void Warehouse to charge energy.

Simultaneously, the Ethereal Body within the Mirror Image Warship takes out the Ruins Market Projection Rank, ready to activate at any moment.

Having done these, Song Chi starts waiting for the three mythical creatures on the crystal platform to start fighting.

These three mythical beings hail from different forces and cannot possibly agree on fair distribution, inevitably leading to a mythical battle afterward.

As anticipated, soon after, the clashes among the three mythical creatures begin.

The cosmic breath originally aimed at the gray-robed figure suddenly changes direction and fiercely strikes the quantum barrier on the surface of the Heavenly Destruction Divine Machine.

The runes on the Heavenly Destruction Divine Machine shimmer violently, forcibly interrupting the absorption of the Time Source Liquid.

At the same time, the gray-robed figure also makes its move, the time power of the Bronze Hall Gate surges to an unprecedented scale, with the surrounding time almost completely frozen. Seizing this opportunity, a gray mist energy arm swiftly emerges from beneath the gray robe, reaching out for the polyhedral crystal.

Just as the gray-robed figure is about to touch the Time Source Liquid, Song Chi’s eyes flash coldly!

"Now’s the time!"

The Mirror Image Warship’s replicated Void Warehouse suddenly activates, tearing open an invisible fissure above the crystal platform with the colorful upper-rank space law.

However, at the instant when the absorption force is about to envelop the Time Source Liquid, the gray-robed figure abruptly raises its head—

"Who goes there!"

The Bronze Hall Gate explodes with blinding brilliance, as if pressing pause on the entire space-time fold region. The engine of the Mirror Image Warship suddenly freezes, even the Void Warehouse’s absorption beam visibly stagnates.

Song Chi’s heart trembles.

The gray-robed being’s control over time power far exceeds expectations, as it can even forcefully delay the colorful upper-rank space law!

Of course, this is fundamentally related to Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong being merely a ninth-rank Torch Warship at present, but Song Chi cannot concern himself with this right now.

In the blink of an eye, he unhesitatingly activates the Ruins Market Projection Rank.

Hum—

Strands of purple mist energy surge from above the Mirror Image Warship, momentarily manifesting the purple mist projection of Zhu Tian Ruins Market above the Time Crevice Area.

Although the projection’s condensation exceeds the usual duration, under Song Chi’s prior activation of the Dao Origin Totem Pole, the genuine mythical projection power still momentarily distracts the gray-robed figure.

"Boom!"

Taking advantage of this gap, the replicated Heavenly Authority Control Ring bursts forth with a three-colored light.

"Absolute Enslavement" transforms into blood-red chains, piercing straight into the leftmost head of the Mother of Time Erosion.

The time-space worm lets out a painful howl, with the temporary hundredfold success rate Light of Slavery causing even this special mythical creature’s mind to flicker with confusion, and all nine heads begin spewing twisted time acid, indiscriminately bombarding the surrounding gray-robed figure and Heavenly Destruction Divine Machine.
