Chapter 191: Ancient Star Battlefield, Ancient Star Corpses, and Super Colossal Starships
After a moment of hesitation, Song Chi shook his head. To be honest, although such components were rare, they didn't hold much appeal for him, given that he had an entire Marketplace of All Realms as his personal storage.
Without much thought, he installed the component on the Azure Sky and didn't enhance it. He would decide later where to install it, whether to exchange it with his family, or even with his grandfather, uncle, or father. Since it wasn't enhanced, there was no need to worry about wasting resources.
Next, he examined the second item, a standard purple oddity.
It was called the Black Gold Armor, which could be converted into a purple hull armor known as the Black Gold Armor Layer. It didn't have any active characteristics, only a passive one that increased the ship's defensive value. Its value was likely lower than that of the obsidian hull armor. If he exchanged it with his family, it would probably earn him 4 to 5 gold merit points.
After storing the oddity, Song Chi waited quietly. He didn't meditate or practice any cultivation techniques; he simply focused intently on the spatial wormhole ahead.
Cultivation could be done anytime, but this was a critical moment. At least four half-step fourth-tier humanoid aliens were still deep within the wormhole, so he couldn't afford to be complacent.
Time passed quickly, and soon several hours had gone by. Song Chi remained vigilant the entire time, but the humanoid aliens who had entered the wormhole seemed to stay for extended periods, so there were no unexpected incidents.
In the cockpit of the Azure Sky, the half-step fourth-tier humanoid alien finally woke up. It looked a bit dazed, but after a moment, Song Chi asked his first question.
"How many half-step fourth-tier beings do you have in total?"
The first question was about the number of half-step fourth-tier beings. Although Chel had clearly stated there were five, considering his position, Song Chi felt the need to confirm it again. If he missed even one or two, it could lead to a low-level mistake and the failure of his subsequent actions.
However, the half-step fourth-tier humanoid alien's response was the same: there were indeed only five half-step fourth-tier beings in this base, including itself.
With that confirmed, Song Chi continued.
"Where do you come from? Have you always lived in this asteroid belt?"
The response to this question surprised Song Chi, even shocking him.
According to the humanoid alien, they had always lived in this asteroid belt, but on a different large asteroid. It was only about two hundred years ago that they discovered the spatial wormhole and the ancient warship wreckage, leading them to move to this location.
The key wasn't this information, but what the humanoid alien said about the large asteroid they had previously inhabited.
The large asteroid had an ancient stone tablet, and the tablet contained only twenty characters:
"Once boundless, a great calamity came, and it shattered. Now it has fragmented into thousands, and there is no longer a way to ascend to the heavens!"
The meaning was clear.
This place was originally a boundless floating land in the star sea. It then suffered a great calamity, causing the floating land to shatter into thousands of fragments and asteroids. The core of the floating land was scattered, and there was no longer a way to reach higher levels of life.
Based on Song Chi's speculation, the great calamity mentioned on the stone tablet was likely caused by the ancient warship. It had traveled through the spatial wormhole, and perhaps the pursuers had triggered an unimaginable attack, trying to eliminate the threat from a distance.
The ancient warship managed to evade the attack, but not completely, leading to its eventual crash.
The residual power of the attack fell on the floating land below, causing the entire continent to shatter and forming this 21-light-year-long asteroid belt.
This explanation clarified all of Song Chi's previous doubts.
Given the size of the asteroid belt and the presence of these half-step fourth-tier humanoid aliens, Song Chi estimated that the original floating land was likely a Tier 4 or higher life-form floating land.
This would explain the appearance of five half-step fourth-tier beings. Even if the core of the Tier 4 floating land had shattered, there would still be enough fourth-tier essence left to allow these beings to reach the half-step fourth-tier stage.
However, the chances of it being a Grade 5 Star Sea Floating Land are relatively low. If everything goes as expected, it should be a Grade 4 Star Sea Floating Land.
At this thought, Song Chi was greatly astonished.
He didn't know how large a Grade 4 Star Sea Floating Land was, but judging from the Dragon Spine Continent, a Grade 5 land, it certainly wouldn't be small.
Yet, such a vast floating land had been destroyed by some kind of weapon or special attack. Honestly, given his current knowledge, this was hard to believe.
Suppressing his inner turmoil, Song Chi continued to press for more information.
"Where does this spatial wormhole lead to? Or what is on the other side?"
As he asked this question, Song Chi's breath caught slightly. Undoubtedly, this was the most critical and significant question on his mind.
"Master, after over two hundred years of exploration, our race reached the other end of this spatial wormhole a few decades ago. It is a shattered ancient star sea battlefield," the near-Grade 4 humanoid alien replied, his face showing obvious excitement, with a hint of disbelief in his eyes.
This flicker of emotion was fleeting but was caught by Song Chi's keen senses.
This only fueled Song Chi's curiosity.
According to the alien, their exploration had crossed the spatial wormhole and reached the other side decades ago. Despite this long time, they still felt a sense of disbelief, indicating just how awe-inspiring the ancient star sea battlefield on the other side must be.
After a brief hesitation, the near-Grade 4 humanoid alien continued, speaking a long string of words that were somewhat unclear. However, Song Chi managed to pick out several key phrases:
- The star river is utterly shattered
- Law scars are widespread
- Ancient warship wreckage far larger than the one we are in
- Gigantic ancient corpses
- Overwhelming pressure from higher-tier life forms
Though his words often left things unclear, these key phrases were enough to quicken one's heartbeat and hasten one's breathing.
Not to mention, the ancient warship wreckage he described was so vast that its length was hard to describe, let alone the gigantic ancient corpses floating in the shattered star field, which seemed to rival the size of the warship wreckage.
Such information couldn't help but shock and surprise Song Chi. However, alongside the shock and surprise, a growing sense of excitement began to rise within him.
Undoubtedly, the other side of this spatial wormhole was an ancient star sea battlefield from tens of thousands, perhaps even hundreds of thousands of years ago, of an extremely high tier.
Such a battlefield was undoubtedly dangerous, but it also held unimaginable opportunities. If he could explore the entire ancient battlefield, the rewards might be beyond his wildest dreams.
After regaining his composure, Song Chi asked a few more questions, though these were not as critical.
A few minutes later, with a clear understanding of the basic situation, Song Chi made a decision.
Under his control, ten Fire Sunflower War Statues were summoned. With his current Grade 2 mental energy, even without using the "Brainwave Remote Control System," his control range over the statues was quite significant.
Thus, Song Chi had the ten Fire Sunflower War Statues follow the route indicated by the near-Grade 4 humanoid alien, scouting ahead while the Celestial Vessel, with its energy shield activated, followed slowly behind.
Song Chi's mind was highly focused. At the first sign of any anomaly, he would activate the "Neutron Star Fission" feature.
The power contained within the law scars was indeed terrifying, but Song Chi believed that in its miniaturized neutron star form, the Celestial Vessel would not be so easily destroyed, giving him enough time to enter the All-Realms Marketplace.
However, the results showed that the route was not that dangerous. After all, it had been established over two hundred years by these humanoid aliens, costing countless lives of asteroid belt creatures, ensuring its safety.
Over the next few hours, only two of the Fire Sunflower War Statues were lost due to some special accidents, which was a very good outcome overall.
At this moment, Song Chi's gaze suddenly shifted to the end of the projection screen.
It wasn't that they had reached the exit of the spatial wormhole. Instead, there was another strange battleship, similar to the one found in the asteroid's core space, floating in the wormhole's tunnel.
Hmm... It was also a wreck, but due to the unusually stable nature of the space within the wormhole, it hadn't been completely obliterated by the spatial gales of the dark side of the star sea.
Of course, even with the stable space, this was still the dark side of the star sea. Compared to the ship in the asteroid's core space, this wreck was in much worse condition, with only a basic outline remaining.
However, it was no surprise that this wreck had already been thoroughly explored, leaving behind only an empty shell.
Song Chi didn't stop. He continued to pilot the Azure Sky toward their destination.
After a day and a half, the fire chrysanthemum soldier puppets that had been leading the way had vanished, replaced by void shadow killer soldier puppets.
Although they had been following the safe route mapped out in the mind of the near-fourth-rank humanoid alien, the dark side of the star sea was unpredictable. Even with the stable space, unforeseen situations were bound to occur. This made Song Chi's cautious approach all the more necessary. If the Azure Sky had charged ahead without caution, it would have faced many unnecessary risks, regardless of the possibility of sinking.
Fortunately, according to the near-fourth-rank humanoid alien, they were not far from the exit of the wormhole. They were currently about three-quarters of the way through, with only about half a day left to reach the other side.
Hearing this, Song Chi slowed down.
On the other side of the wormhole, there were four near-fourth-rank humanoid aliens, formidable opponents who couldn't be taken lightly. If possible, he preferred to remain hidden and wait for the right moment to strike.
...
In an unknown, shattered region of the star sea, subtle spatial fluctuations emanated from a ten-thousand-meter-wide spatial vortex. These fluctuations, masked by the continuous spatial disturbances of the wormhole itself, went unnoticed by the figures standing in the starry sky ahead.
Inside the Azure Sky's main control room, Song Chi's eyes widened as he stared ahead, his mind playing a different scene.
In the vast star river, dark cracks spread across countless light-years, slicing through everything in their path. At the center of these terrifying spatial rifts, dozens of ancient warship wrecks of various sizes floated silently. Around these wrecks, the corpses of colossal beings, some thousands or even tens of thousands of meters in length, also drifted in space. Even after tens of thousands of years, the aura they emitted was still incredibly intimidating.
Moreover, the area around these ancient warships and colossal corpses was covered in countless traces of law, silently warning any approaching beings.
But these were not the key aspects of this shattered starfield. What drew Song Chi's attention the most was the center of this ancient battlefield.
There, a colossal ancient warship, over ten thousand kilometers long and nearly a thousand kilometers tall, floated silently.
This monstrous warship was far more terrifying than anything Song Chi had imagined. In comparison, even the mythic mech projection of his fifth-rank ancestor seemed like a toy.
However, along with the deep sense of awe, Song Chi also noticed a concerning sign. This ancient battlefield seemed to be gradually fading away. The terrifying spatial rifts on the periphery were rapidly consuming the already shattered star region. At this rate, Song Chi estimated that the ancient battlefield would soon be completely annihilated by the spatial rifts and storms.
Moreover, in the outer regions, Song Chi thought he saw the shadows of void demons.
This realization made Song Chi feel a sense of urgency. Time was running out.
With this in mind, he shifted his gaze to the four humanoid alien figures near the wormhole's exit.
