Global Era of Star Trekking

After the Time Realm component was installed, its cooldown time was reduced to only 9 months (based on the component’s quality and enhancement level, the cooldown reduction effect was weakened), and with the application of the “Zen Seal: Inner Speed” feature, it only required 54 days, thus shortening the time by a full 20 days.

Don’t underestimate these mere 20 days; at critical moments, 20 days could mean life and death numerous times over.

And this is just at lv30; if later enhanced to lv70, it could cut the cooldown time by half.

As the enhancement of this component was completed, Song Chi’s gaze shifted to another component on the warship, the Orange Quality Master-Servant Contract component, after which the third Sixth Rank Silver Apple was taken out.

After the interweaving of orange and red lights, the component finally evolved into Red Quality:

Master-Servant Contract lv50

Quality: Red

Feature: Additional +1 to the number of slaves that can be contracted

Feature 2: Increased contractual binding force by one level

Feature 3: Doubling of the number of contracts that can be made

Consumption: 300/s (Spectral Energy Points)

Master: Song Chi

Servant: Wang Zhen (1/4)

Effect: Contracts two willing individuals, forming a Master-Servant Spirit Contract, granting the master absolute power over life and death, ensuring the servant harbors no ill will and remains utterly loyal.

…

This third feature, originally a Purple Quality Contract component’s feature that Song Chi had discovered with great difficulty over the years, was immediately replaced as soon as the evolution was complete, and with the appearance of this feature, the maximum number of contracts from the Master-Servant Contract increased to four, undoubtedly providing Song Chi with much greater room for maneuver in the future.

Once the evolution was complete, Song Chi then enhanced the newly-evolved Red Quality component to lv60, after which he returned his focus to the Emperor Ruins Source Stone.

In the Ruins Market’s free stall area, a large Emperor Ruins Source Stone stood on the floor. Meanwhile, inside the main control room of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong docked not far away, with a thought from Song Chi, the Power Of Domination within his body was swiftly mobilized.

A multitude of blades formed by the perfected Space Law began to gather above the Emperor Ruins Source Stone and then, under Song Chi’s control, these Space Law Blades slowly started to cut the surface of the stone.

The Emperor Ruins Source Stone, ordinarily extremely hard for normal beings, now seemed as easy to slice as tofu and was easily cut open.

Soon, the figure of a being with interlacing red and black skin and a single spiral horn on its head appeared in Song Chi’s view.

As the outer shell of the Emperor Ruins Source Stone was cut open and came into contact with the dense energy of the outside market, the body of this Sixth Rank Abyssal Devil Race member seemed like a sponge that had dried out for countless years, now encountering pure refreshing water. Massive amounts of energy began converging rapidly, continuously pouring into the nearly lifeless body.

Notably, this Abyssal Devil’s body was not large, measuring only about two to three meters, but its body was like an unfathomable abyss that no amount of energy could fill; endless energy was absorbed without a sign of stopping.

Song Chi seemed unconcerned about this, for the moment the Emperor Ruins Source Stone was cut open, he had immediately activated the Enslavement Medal and the Mother-Child Control Spirit Ring components. Following the projection of two red beams from the warship, they entered the body of the Abyss Demon that was beginning to regain its vitality.

After a few moments, there was no reaction from the Abyss Demon or the two components, and Song Chi knew that the enslavement attempt had failed.

He didn’t give up, quickly trying a second attempt, but it also failed.

Song Chi didn’t rush to try a third time; instead, he shifted his thoughts and activated another Master-Servant Contract component.

Full of expectation, yet it brought him no good news either; the Master-Servant Contract also failed.

With a furrowed brow, Song Chi remained silent.

The Enslavement Medal, Mother-Child Control Spirit Ring, and Master-Servant Contract were activated in succession again.

Failure, failure, failure!

Whew!

Steadying his breath, Song Chi calmed down; this time, he shifted his attention away from these three components and instead peered through the holographic exterior view of the warship, looking towards the Ruin Market Firmament.

With a casual glance, he caused all the energy flow within the entire Zhu Tian Ruins Market to come to a halt. Under this change, the Sixth Rank Abyss Devil’s process of devouring energy abruptly stopped.

However, this was not the end; Song Chi’s mind made another turn.

Immediately after, the energy in the Ruins Market space began to reverse.

What does reverse mean?

At this moment, the energy that the Sixth Rank Abyss Devil had just absorbed began to surge back out of its body, and what’s more, even more of its original remaining force of flesh and blood were dissipating.

Seemingly sensing this unfavorable situation for itself, the body of the Sixth Rank Abyss Devil began to actively close itself off, trying to prevent the already scarce energy within its body from leaking away.

But could Song Chi possibly let it have its way?

As the Lord of the Ruins Market, and with the Power Of Domination upon him, within this Ruins Market Secret Realm, he was invincible. No matter how the Abyss Devil attempted to close its flesh, it could not stop this process, only succeeding in slowing down the rate at which the energy was dissipating by just a bit.

Song Chi had a simple reason for doing this; since this Abyss Devil was still unable to be enslaved in its current state, he let it continue to weaken. If that still didn’t work, then he would attempt it at the brink of death. If that still didn’t pan out, then there was no helping it; he would just squander a Sixth Rank creature.

Being the master of the Zhu Tian Ruins Market and the Spirit Beast Secret Realm, one Sixth Rank creature was nothing but a small loss to him.

As the life breath of the Abyss Devil declined drastically again, Song Chi began to let the three components continue trying to enslave and establish a contract.

However, the Abyss Devil was truly terrifying, and even so, all attempts still failed.

“Is this the innate Talent Gift of an individual from an Overlord Level Civilization? Indeed terrifying…”

Muttering to himself, Song Chi still couldn’t give up.

The Abyss Devil could serve as an entire legion, and such an opportunity was rare; he had to make one last attempt.

“Then let’s see if you can still resist at the brink of death!”

While muttering, the energy reversal speed in the Ruins Market Secret Realm accelerated further, and the Life Energy within the Sixth Rank Abyss Devil was rapidly draining away.

Dozens of seconds later, the life fluctuations emitted by the Abyss Devil had weakened to an extreme, but under Song Chi’s Double Pupils, it was far from the case; the loss of Life Energy was still ongoing.

Because under his Double Pupils, he could see the Life Fire in the brain of the Abyss Devil was still vigorous. Naturally, he trusted the Power of Double Pupils more.

Under the continuous spillage of energy, the Life Fire deep within its brain finally began to dim.

Until a certain moment, Song Chi’s eyes suddenly sharpened.

“Now is the time!”

Thinking this, the [Enslavement Medal], [Mother-Child Control Spirit Ring], and [Master-Servant Contract] three components were activated simultaneously, and three streaks of red light subsequently entered the body of the Abyss Devil which had weakened to the extreme.

Time passed, every second seeming especially prolonged.

Finally, Song Chi suddenly opened his eyes, a rich purple emerging in them. Just now, one of the three components had shown signs of activity.

He merely transferred a Divided Spirit, and confirmed that it had indeed achieved the enslavement of the Sixth Rank Abyss Devil.

Having confirmed this, he immediately lifted the restrictions on the energy within the Ruins Market Secret Realm, but at this moment, the Abyss Devil seemed to have completely lost the ability to absorb external energy and repair itself.

In response to this, Song Chi urgently summoned the Flame Giant, had it quickly carry the Abyss Devil back to the warship, and then immediately placed it into the [Life System Medical Repair Pod].

Being weak and on the verge of death, the [Life System Medical Repair Pod] had a very good effect on recovery, and Song Chi believed that as long as this Sixth Rank Abyss Devil wasn’t instantly dead, there was a high probability of saving it.

However, this could not be guaranteed, and he could only pray silently.

The Abyss Devil had its uses, and he sincerely hoped that it could hold on.

Thinking this, his gaze shifted and fell on the [Master-Servant Contract] component; it was this component that had completed the enslavement of the Abyss Devil.
