Global Era of Star Trekking

“This kid…”

Taking the [Silver Apple], Song Xingru’s eyes lit up, sensing the enormous energy contained within the scaled-down [Silver Apple], and immediately confirmed it was a Sixth Rank [Silver Apple].

Soon, Song Dingbang, Song Tianhao, and a few others were all called out by her.

“Indeed, it’s a Sixth Rank [Silver Apple], not bad, not bad. This kid has quite a few good things in his hands. No, I have several Top Rank Orange Components on my warship that I want to upgrade in quality. Looks like I really need to have a good talk with little Chi later.”

“However, now that we’ve got our hands on the Sixth Rank [Silver Apple], there’s no time to lose. Let’s apply it to the [Original Core Stealer] component right away. The Heavenly Star Floating Island can be the first theft target. The sooner we start the theft, the sooner our Dragon Spine Continent can strive to reach the Seventh Level Floating Land.”

“Agreed!”

“Consent!”

…

While several clan elders were discussing matters, Song Chi had already initiated a Spatial Jump above the vault of heaven.

The Floating Land of the Robber Sea has a diameter of over 70 light-years, and each family’s location differs, so a Spatial Jump is necessary to seek people out.

Inside the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, Song Chi held in his left hand a strand of Fire Seed Oddity radiating with orange light, and in his right hand, a second [Silver Apple].

The Orange Ascension Fire Source was provided by the lives of the Fire Elements over these years, and it was just about time to convert it into a Red Upgrade Fire Source.

As his hands intertwined, the Sixth Rank [Silver Apple] touched the plain Orange Upgrade Fire Source, and the two began to merge.

The blinding orange light began to engulf the entire Battleship Main Control Room. As time passed, the orange light gradually shifted to red, until it completely transformed into a Red Quality Ascension Fire Source.

Seeing the evolution complete and confirming that the Fire Seed Oddity in his hand had upgraded to Red Quality and could also convert into an Ascension Fire Source, Song Chi then controlled the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong to slowly descend below.

Robber Sea Floating Land, Cangxuan Mountain.

As an ordinary Fourth Rank Gate in the eastern Star Domain of the Yaohan Kingdom, although the Duan Clan of the East was not famous, it also possessed several Fourth Rank Zhulu Warship Captains, and actively formed a United Fleet with several other forces in the East Star Domain. Thus, it had gained a lot during the exploratory wars of recent decades.

Indeed, even an ordinary Fourth Rank Clan was separately allocated a residence by the logistics department.

One day, a Zhulu Warship, now exceeding four kilometers in length, descended from the sky, and the Duan family fleet patrolling the Cangxuan Mountain area actively approached the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong.

“Unknown Zhulu Warship Captain, this is the Duan family territory in the East, please show your specific identity…”

“Tell Duan Mei that a buyer from a few years back has come to visit!”

Hearing Song Chi’s response, the Duan family’s escort ship immediately turned around without any hesitation.

All Duan clan members had heard of the newly risen family elder Duan Mei, and many even took her as a target and an example. Now hearing that Song Chi was here to see Duan Mei, naturally, no one dared to delay.

Without making Song Chi wait too long, a Zhulu Warship also with an impressive length soon flew from Cangxuan Mountain.

Once the two parties connected via communications, Song Chi went straight to the point.

“Is the [Time Chess] still available?”

After saying this, he stared intently at the other party, fearing they would give an unfavorable reply.

Fortunately, this did not happen.

“It is available, but Song Qi, the Seventh Prince, have you brought a Red Upgrade Fire…”

Before finishing, the projection in Song Chi’s hand in the warship communication was already showing a strand of Fire Seed Oddity emitting red light.

“I need to verify the goods!”

Duan Mei, worried that Song Chi had brought an ordinary Fire Seed Oddity, requested that Song Chi first draw out the Red Upgrade Fire Source.

This was, after all, a private trade, so her caution was understandable.

In comparison, Song Chi was much more straightforward, without overthinking, directly tossing the Red Upgrade Fire Source out of the warship.

It wasn’t overconfidence; he was already incredibly familiar with the Eastern Duan Clan. A mere clan with just five Zhulu Warships as a backbone—if they dared play any tricks in this deal, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong alone could suppress them all.

Even if someone from the upper ranks of the Eastern Lixiao Family would get involved, he wasn’t worried since the entire transaction was recorded by the Dome Sky Intelligence Brain.

Of course, this was just a contingency. In the end, it wasn’t necessary. After confirming that the Red Upgrade Fire Source was correct, Duan Mei swiftly sent over the [Time Chess] emitting silver light.

The transaction process between the two sides was very pleasant from start to finish.

…

Song Family residence, the eagerly returned Song Chi couldn’t wait to enhance the [Time Chess].

[Are you sure you want to spend 30 strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin+3000 Spectral Energy Points+1 drop of Time Marrow Fluid to enhance the Time Chess component from lv0 to lv1?]

“Confirm!”

After many times and due to the reacquisition of some Time Marrow Fluid over the years, Song Chi successfully enhanced this component to lv30.

Time Chess lv30

Quality: Silver

Feature: Cooldown time of all warship loaded components reduced by 30%

Feature 2: Time Resistance +3200

Feature 3: Time Chess Piece (Separated from the chessboard, sealed)

Feature 4: Time Chessboard (Separated from the chessboard, sealed)

…

Regrettably, the enhancement in the component’s rank didn’t unlock Features 3 and 4, which left Song Chi somewhat disappointed.

However, the cooldown reduction increased from 15% to 30%, which was very delightful.

It may not seem like much, but the actual effect was very good.

For instance, the “Pusuo Time Realm” feature, with an original cooldown of 1 year, would still require 74 days to fully recover even when using the “Zen Seal: Inner Speed” feature.
