Chapter 281: Dreadnought Class Flame Warship, Seventh-Rank War Puppets [Dragon Whale Guards]
Chapter 281: Dreadnought Class Flame Warship, Seventh-Rank War Puppets [Dragon Whale Guards]
In the safe area near the spatial wormhole exit, the eyes of the Song Clan elders were filled with excitement. They all stared intently at the hundred-thousand-meter Flame Warship in front of them.
As clan elders, many of them had heard about the existence of a true ancestor within the clan, but this First Ancestor had been in seclusion for centuries. The younger elders had never actually seen this ancestor with their own eyes.
The appearance of this hundred-thousand-meter Flame Warship was the first time that half of the clan elders had seen their First Ancestor. Therefore, they found it difficult to contain their excitement.
As for the other elders, their delight stemmed from the possibility of completely conquering this ancient star battlefield.
The First Ancestor of the Song Clan, the founder of the Song Clan of Dinghai, was far more powerful than the few Fifth-Rank Elders. He was the greatest support for the Song Clan of Dinghai, allowing it to become the most prominent family in the Morning Star Principality.
Just the hundred-thousand-meter Flame Warship under his command was enough to suppress countless forces and noble families in the entire principality.
In the consensus of the Torch Human Civilization, a Fourth-Rank Skirmish Warship typically has a length of three to four kilometers. A Fifth-Rank Battleship has a length of ten to fifteen kilometers. A hundred-thousand-meter Flame Warship, on the other hand, transcends the category of battleships and is considered a Sixth-Rank Flame Warship, specifically a Dreadnought.
(PS: Does the term "Dreadnought" sound alright? If you have any better suggestions, feel free to share, and I will consider making changes.)
The Sixth-Rank Dreadnought, the First Ancestor of the Song Clan, had just completed his promotion four hundred years ago. Shortly after breaking through, he immediately chose to enter seclusion.
Firstly, to break through his Guiding Technique to level 60, and secondly, to use this time to deepen his understanding of the laws he commanded.
Fortunately, the four hundred years were not wasted. Not only did his Guiding Technique break through to level 60, but he also underwent the sixth Life Ascension, becoming a true Sixth-Rank Star Sea Lifeform and a Sixth-Rank Dreadnought Captain. From then on, he would be able to witness the changes in the star sea for ten thousand years.
Additionally, he made significant progress in the realm of spatial laws. With the enhancement of the clan's Primordial Mystic Realm, his understanding of spatial laws was on par with veteran Sixth-Rank Flame Warship Captains.
Although the clan elders were not entirely aware of these details, the intense Sixth-Rank life aura emitted by the First Ancestor as he passed through the spatial wormhole in his physical form was enough to confirm that he was indeed a true Sixth-Rank Flame Warship Captain.
This realization gave everyone a significant boost of confidence, eliminating any lingering concerns.
It's important to note that Sixth-Rank Flame Warship Captains have a lifespan of ten thousand years. The First Ancestor is currently less than three thousand five hundred years old, and with the longevity-enhancing elixirs he has taken, he can protect the clan for another seven to eight thousand years.
Thus, even if this expedition yields no results, the Song Clan of Dinghai will remain one of the brightest stars in the Morning Star Principality for the next seven thousand years, and the clan's strength will see unprecedented development.
Under the intense gaze of the clan elders, a beam of light shot out from the Dreadnought, and soon, twenty figures appeared quietly in the safe area outside the armory corridor.
These twenty figures were all over five meters tall, with silver-white scales covering their puppet bodies, transforming them into silver-armored celestial guards. Their terrifying auras spread from their bodies, adding a sense of dominance to these celestial guards.
In the ship's magnetic wave communication group chat, a veteran elder, over a thousand five hundred years old, immediately called out the names of these silver-armored celestial guards.
"They are Dragon Whale Guards. The First Ancestor has actually reinforced them to the Seventh-Rank level!!"
"What are Dragon Whale Guards?"
A younger clan member, who had only recently become an elder in the past few hundred years, asked.
"Dragon Whale Guards are war puppets summoned by the [Dragon Whale Guard Puppet Tree]. It's said that the First Ancestor obtained a silver-quality war puppet component during an early adventure!"
Everyone was amazed. Silver war puppets were something most people would never achieve in their lifetimes.
Among the present elders, a small number still had purple war puppet components on their flagships, while the majority had orange war puppets, and red war puppets were extremely rare, let alone silver legendary war puppets.
As the elders discussed, the twenty silver-armored Dragon Whale Guards had already surged into the ship hull crack.
Initially, the clan elders thought it would take some time, but to their surprise, within just two minutes, the twenty Dragon Whale Guards had already emerged from the crack, each holding one or more Void Demon corpses in their hands.
Among them was a Sixth-Rank Void Demon and several Fifth-Rank Void Demons.
Clearly, in front of these Dragon Whale Guards, Sixth-Rank and Fifth-Rank Void Demons were no match at all.
This result naturally caused surprise among the younger generation of elders, but the elders over seven hundred years old were unsurprised, finding it entirely reasonable.
After all, these were Seventh-Rank war puppets, fused with the extremely rare legendary resource of a Sovereign's true spirit, possessing partial characteristics of Seventh-Rank lifeforms. Combined with the advantage of numbers, dealing with Sixth-Rank Star Sea lifeforms was a matter of course.
It's worth noting that the Third-Rank and Fourth-Rank are a significant divide, marking the boundary between low-tier and mid-tier civilizations in the Shattered Star Sea. Similarly, the Sixth-Rank and Seventh-Rank are also a significant divide.
As the boundary between mid-tier and high-tier civilizations, the difference between Sixth-Rank and Seventh-Rank lifeforms is unimaginable.
This can be seen in the lifespans of lifeforms at different ranks in the Star Sea. For example, in the Torch Human Civilization, ordinary Zero-Rank individuals live for 140 years, First-Rank individuals for 200 years, Second-Rank for 300 years, and Third-Rank for 600 years. Why does the lifespan jump to 2000 years at the Fourth-Rank? This is the reason.
Similarly, after the Fourth-Rank, the lifespan of a Fifth-Rank Flame Warship Captain is 4000 years, and a Sixth-Rank is 10,000 years, without a significant increase. Only after breaking through to the Seventh-Rank does the lifespan see another significant increase.
At this moment, a beam of radiance emerged from the Dreadnought. Under the influence of this radiance, the Void Demon corpses held by the twenty Dragon Whale Guards, which were tens of thousands of kilometers away, floated in the air and were remotely teleported back to the Dreadnought.
Additionally, there was a silver radiance, multiple red and orange radiances.
As these items were teleported back, a calm voice echoed in the communication group chat.
"The harvest is quite good. One Sixth-Rank Void Demon corpse, four Fifth-Rank, and twenty-eight Fourth-Rank. The silver, red, and orange quality artifacts have not been completely destroyed and can be restored after being sent back to the Dragon Spine Mystic Realm for nurturing."
Upon hearing this, the [Immovable Mingwang]
Zhongyuan Zu smiled and said:
"This could be considered a good start, I hope we can maintain it in the future!!"
On the other side, a familiar female voice also rang out. It was the one from the Earth Vein, known as Elder Ru, who spoke up:
"However, it's uncertain whether the corpse of the Seventh-Rank Sovereign is real or not. If it’s real, not only can we extract Seventh-Rank Source Blood to increase the success rate of our ancestor’s flagship ascending to a Star Annihilator, but the True Spirit inside the corpse can also reinforce more components to the Seventh Rank. The manifestation of the Fundamental Law on the corpse can also accelerate the understanding of the corresponding laws. This is probably the most valuable thing inside this Seventh-Rank warship’s wreckage..."
Hearing her words, a response came from the Dreadnought:
"Ru, how many times have I told you, you need to change your temperament. Plan before you act. Rushing for quick results will only make you lose your sense of judgment and end up with nothing..."
As these words were spoken, the female voice paused abruptly. After a few seconds, a much cooler response came:
"Yes, I will follow the teachings of the Ancestor!"
Everyone was very clear about her temperament and knew that she probably didn’t take it to heart, but no one said anything more. She was not easy to talk to.
Soon, a calm voice sounded again:
"Since there are Sixth-Rank Void Demons in the ship, no one can guarantee that there won’t be any Seventh-Rank Void Demons. From now on, all clan members’ War Puppets are forbidden from entering the core areas of this Tri-Eye Clan flagship, such as the command room, to avoid alarming any potential Seventh-Rank Void Demons!"
"Yes, First Ancestor!"
...
With the Ancestor’s words, the clan elders naturally dared not disobey. Even those with Sixth-Rank War Puppets stopped their exploration of the ship’s central areas and began searching the outer regions of the ship.
As for the core areas, they would be carefully explored by the Dragon Whale Guards.
Thus, time gradually passed.
After several months, with the detailed coordinates provided by Song Chi and the assistance of the Three-Eyed Guardian Chief’s Command Token, several Fifth-Rank Elders successively found the Intermediate and Advanced Floating Land Origin Storage Rooms.
The harvest was undoubtedly very satisfying.
In the Intermediate Floating Land Origin Storage Room, there were over 100,000 strands of Fourth-Rank Floating Land Origin, 10,000 strands of Fifth-Rank Floating Land Origin, and over 2,000 strands of Sixth-Rank Floating Land Origin.
While the harvest in the Advanced Floating Land Origin Storage Room was much less, its value was no less than that of the Intermediate Floating Land Origin Storage Room, and perhaps even better.
In this storage room, the Ancestor obtained 300 strands of Seventh-Rank Floating Land Origin and even 10 strands of Eighth-Rank Floating Land Origin, which was incredibly high.
Everyone was delighted and also marveled at the astonishing assets of a Seventh-Rank existence from a dominant civilization.
It should be noted that this was still under the condition that the ship was severely damaged, and the vast majority of the high-rank Floating Land Origin had been taken by the Tri-Eye Royal Clan tens of thousands of years ago.
In addition, another senior Fourth-Rank Elder from the Second Direct Line found a Silver Legendary Quality War Puppet Tree component through his Sixth-Rank War Puppet and remote control components in an outer cabin.
Three-Eyed Guardian War Puppet Tree lv0
Quality: Silver
Trait: Additional 20 War Puppets can be summoned.
Trait 2: Three-Eyed Power
Trait 3: War Puppet Combat Power increased by 110%
Trait 4: Three-Eyed Light
Cost: 2000 per puppet (Mana Points)
Effect: Summons 30 level 0 Three-Eyed Guardian War Puppets. The War Puppets will persist indefinitely as long as they are not destroyed. If a puppet is destroyed, it can be resummoned after 24 hours.
Upgrade Requirements: 30 strands of Floating Land Origin (Zero Rank), 3000 Mana Points, 30 Life Nuclei (Zero Rank)
Three-Eyed Power: A unique and powerful energy derived from the Tri-Eye Clan’s Essence Orb. As a War Puppet Tree that has been nurtured for tens of thousands of years with Three-Eyed Power, the summoned Three-Eyed Guardian War Puppets come with a trace of Three-Eyed Power. Under the enhancement of Three-Eyed Power, the War Puppets' attack power and defense are permanently increased by 200%.
Three-Eyed Light: An active ability of the War Puppet. When activated, it shoots a beam of light with powerful annihilation power in a specified direction. Recharge time: 5 seconds, Cooldown: 24 hours.
Undoubtedly, this was an excellent War Puppet Tree component. The War Puppets not only had great potential for reinforcement but also possessed multiple active and passive abilities, making their combat power far exceed that of ordinary War Puppets at the same rank.
Of course, this War Puppet component would be submitted to the clan rather than becoming the private property of the Second Direct Line Elder. However, the clan’s merit hall would grant the Elder a substantial amount of merit points as a reward.
In addition to this Three-Eyed Guardian War Puppet, the clan found many other high-quality artifacts in the Tri-Eye Clan flagship over the past few months, including some of extremely high quality such as Orange and Red artifacts. However, there were no more Silver or higher-quality artifacts.
Upon reflection, this was actually quite normal.
Silver Legendary artifacts correspond to the Seventh Rank. For a Seventh-Rank Sovereign of the Tri-Eye Royal Clan, obtaining a Silver Legendary artifact was not an easy task. Moreover, Song Chi had already taken two Silver artifacts and one Golden artifact beforehand.
Considering this, the number of high-quality artifacts found in the Tri-Eye Clan flagship was already quite impressive.
However, this did not dampen the enthusiasm of the clan elders. The exploration continued with great fervor.
This Seventh-Rank warship’s wreckage was simply too large. Even with dozens of Song Clan elders exploring simultaneously, it would take a considerable amount of time to fully explore it.
Time passed again, and soon another year had gone by.
One day, a huge wave of excitement swept through the entire warship’s magnetic communication group chat.
A clan elder from the Earth Vein discovered an artifact of extremely high quality during remote exploration.
This artifact not only attracted the attention of three Fifth-Rank Elders but also alarmed the First Ancestor, who had been carefully exploring the core areas of the warship’s wreckage for over a year.
The reason was simple: the artifact the elder discovered was a Golden Sacred Domain Quality artifact.
For a moment, all the Song Clan members in this ancient starfield focused their curious gazes on the elder’s flagship, including the First Ancestor and the three Fifth-Rank Elders.
Seeing this, the elder naturally did not hesitate and immediately sent out the artifact’s attributes.
[Artifact: Spatial Wormhole Generator]
[Quality: Golden]
[Convertible to: {Space Wormhole Generator}]
[Note: One of the pinnacle technological creations of the Tri-Eye Civilization. Under the provision of a large amount of energy, it can generate a space wormhole connecting the vast starfield. After tens of thousands of years of nurturing, it has transformed into a Golden Sacred Domain Quality space-type starfield artifact.]
