Chapter 356: The Initial Power of the Spatial Wormhole Generator
Strictly speaking, this period of time wasn't particularly long. Typically, it would take several decades for a Flame Torch Captain to successfully break through their Guiding Art after ascending to the Deer Hunt Vessel.
The reason why Song Mingsong was able to achieve this breakthrough so quickly was not only due to his solid foundation but also the full support he received from the Pulse.
As far as Song Chi knew, two years ago, his second uncle had the good fortune of obtaining an 8,000-year-old deep-sea pearl during an exploration in a foreign star domain. He then gave it to Song Mingsong, who, with the help of this deep-sea pearl, was able to advance to the Fourth Rank.
After some thought, Song Chi asked, "Grandpa, have you decided which Law you will follow?"
Without hesitation, Song Mingsong replied, "The Law of Fire!"
As expected, given his personality, Song Chi had already guessed his grandfather's choice and wasn't worried.
Among the six Law Monuments in the Dragon Spine Sanctuary, there was one dedicated to the Law of Fire. The family's ancestors had made significant progress in this Law, which would undoubtedly save his grandfather from many detours.
"Speaking of Law insights, Little Chi, I have successfully transformed my Divine Mind Spirit and am about to enter the Dragon Spine Sanctuary. I won't be leaving for the next ten years, so you should pay more attention to this side of the Pulse."
Song Chi nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then relayed the entire situation on the Holy Dragon Continent.
Upon hearing the words 'Spirit Source Essence,' Song Mingsong's eyes lit up. Absorbing one or two pieces of Spirit Source Essence would undoubtedly benefit his subsequent insights into the Primordial Sanctuary's Laws. However, he quickly suppressed this thought and began analyzing the situation from various angles for his grandson.
"From a normal perspective, it's best for our Tenth Direct Pulse to plan independently and seize all the benefits of the Holy Dragon Continent for ourselves. But we can't ignore the upcoming expansion of the Bright Han Kingdom. While we can explore on our own and secure all the advantages of the Holy Dragon Continent, it will take centuries, or even hundreds of years, to gradually realize them."
"If we report this to the family, there's a high probability that all members of our pulse will be able to further enhance their strength over the next forty years. This will increase our safety and benefits during the upcoming expansion war. Both options have their advantages and disadvantages, and it ultimately depends on your choice, Little Chi."
After hearing his grandfather's further analysis, Song Chi had already made his decision.
After all, he had an additional, hidden benefit: the establishment of the Serpent Sect by the Snow Python on the other side.
Recently, through mental communication, he had learned that after more than two months of development, the Serpent Sect had become the only official church in the Black Soil Kingdom.
With the support of a large number of believers, the Snow Python, who had just advanced to the Fourth Rank, showed signs of further improvement. However, the limited population of the Black Soil Kingdom was insufficient to facilitate its substantial advancement.
At this point, the Serpent Sect had reached its limit, and further expansion would require spreading to neighboring countries. But each neighboring country already had its own established church, and if the Serpent Sect were to spread there recklessly, it might provoke hostility from the indigenous gods behind those churches.
Given this, once the Song family eliminated those Demon Gods, the expansion of the Serpent Sect would no longer be restricted. Song Chi could even envision a future where the Serpent Sect became the largest sect on the entire Holy Dragon Continent.
If that were to happen, the promotion of the Totem Spirit Pillar component would no longer be a pipe dream, and it wouldn't be impossible for the Snow Python to directly break through the Fifth Rank.
With this in mind, Song Chi no longer hesitated. The two stood up together and boarded the cob alt number, heading towards the Dragon Spine Sacred Mountain.
Song Mingsong didn't recall the Great War Lion, as he was going to the Dragon Spine Sanctuary to gain insights into the Laws and cultivate secret techniques, and he didn't need the Flame Warship.
The Deer Hunt Vessel was still docked on the Fourth Rank Origin Eruption Eye on Green Moon Island, suppressing the Origin Eruption Eye while also refining the Origin Blood from within a Fourth Rank Peak ancient corpse.
This Fourth Rank Peak ancient corpse was obtained by Song Chi from the Ancient Starry Sky Battlefield sixteen years ago. The Great War Lion had been refining it ever since, and of the eleven corpses he had taken out, only seven remained after more than a decade.
As for the four drops of Fourth Rank Peak Origin Blood extracted, they were currently stored on the cob alt number, along with the first drop, giving Song Chi a total of five drops.
Dragon Spine Sacred Mountain, within the Ancestral Hall.
Song Mingsong had been taken to the Dragon Spine Sanctuary by Song Xuancang. Having just advanced to the Fourth Rank, he was currently in the Law Resonance Phase, an opportunity that only comes once in a lifetime for a Flame Torch Captain. It was best to enter the Dragon Spine Sanctuary to gain insights into the Laws as soon as possible. Now, only Song Chi and the Ancestor remained in the Ancestral Hall.
When he heard Song Chi mention 'Demon God,' even Song Shiyuan, who had lived for over two thousand years, showed a hint of surprise in his eyes. The Spirit Source Essence of a half-Sixth Rank indigenous Demon God was effective even for a Fifth Rank Flame Torch Captain like him.
After confirming the veracity of Song Chi's information, Song Shiyuan spoke up, "A Fifth Rank Peak life-type Star Sea Continent with a half-Sixth Rank indigenous Demon God is no small feat. Have you thought about what reward you want?"
Song Chi, who had already considered this, quickly replied, "Elder Ancestor, I want Spirit Source Essence, and the quantity shouldn't be too small. The Serpent Sect in the Black Soil Kingdom on the Holy Dragon Continent was established by my enslaved creatures, and I hope the family can also promote the expansion of the Serpent Sect."
Hearing this, Song Shiyuan nodded slightly, showing no excess emotion. He continued, "These are just the basics. As a family member, the family will not shortchange you. Additionally, the clan will provide your Tenth Direct Pulse with a batch of rare resources."
Song Chi, of course, did not refuse and nodded repeatedly.
He then prepared to leave the Ancestral Hall to summon the cob alt number. Now that the news had been reported, he would have to personally go to the Holy Dragon Continent with a group of elders and a transfer warship.
However, Song Shiyuan showed no reaction and simply said, "There's no need to use a Spatial Beacon to transport there. Just provide the coordinates of the Holy Dragon Continent's outer domain."
Song Chi: ???
His mind was filled with confusion, as this was the first time he had heard that traveling to a foreign star domain only required specific domain coordinates.
It should be known that domain coordinates are entirely different from Spatial Beacons. Flame Warships' interspatial deployment capabilities have never included the ability to deploy to specific coordinates.
Despite his confusion, he had no doubts, as the family's heritage spanned nearly three thousand years, and they possessed various foundations. Moreover, the Ancestor wouldn't make empty promises.
After receiving the spatial coordinates of the outer realm of the Holy Dragon Continent, Song Chi was dismissed, which suited his intentions perfectly. It was ideal to stay on Dragon Backbone Continent as the various trump cards of the Cob Alt Number had not yet finished their cooldown.
Not long after he returned to the Green Moon Estate to continue his Guiding Art cultivation mission, the family's high-level members gathered for a meeting.
The entire Ancestral Hall was enveloped in a rich glow, isolating the inside and outside of the hall. Even if other forces had interfered on the Dragon Backbone Continent, they would be unable to monitor the ongoing discussion of the Song family's high-level members.
Within the Starry Sky Hall, numerous fourth-rank Flame Torch Captains' projections sat solemnly in ancient bronze chairs around the hall. Song Shiyuan's voice echoed through the hall.
"Regarding the arrangement for the Holy Dragon Continent, I propose using the Spatial Wormhole Generator component to directly connect the Dragon Backbone Continent and the Holy Dragon Continent. Otherwise, relying solely on shuttle ships for transportation will only prolong the process."
"I agree. A fifth-rank peak Star Sea Continent is stronger than our Dragon Backbone Continent. To digest it within a short few decades, we must use the Spatial Wormhole Generator to create a direct wormhole to the Holy Dragon Continent."
"I also believe it's feasible. If we extract the core essence of this part of the Holy Dragon Continent, our Song family's Dragon Backbone Continent might rapidly reach the fifth-rank peak, possibly even surpassing the Morning Star Yin Continent in advancing to the sixth rank."
...
As the discussion continued, someone suddenly spoke up.
"I personally think the distribution of benefits from the Holy Dragon Continent is unreasonable. Although Song Chi reported the news, he didn't personally participate. Isn't it a bit unreasonable for him to claim such a large amount of Spirit Source Essence?"
The entire hall fell silent as the surrounding projections turned to the Second Direct Vein Elder who had spoken.
Before anyone could respond, Song Shiyuan's voice rang out.
"The younger generation is willing to report this information to the family because they trust us. If we withhold their share, it would be like chilling their enthusiasm. If a younger member of the Second Direct Vein reported such high-level continent information, there would be no deduction from their share!"
Although his words were gentle, the elders' hearts trembled. They knew that the Ancestor had made up his mind, and anyone who tried to play games at this stage would face his wrath.
The projection of the Second Direct Vein Elder trembled slightly, not daring to say more.
He didn't have any other intentions; he was simply one of the latest fourth-rank Deer Hunt Vessel Captains in the clan. There weren't many indigenous demon deities on the Holy Dragon Continent, and if Song Chi took too much, there might not be much left for the other elders.
Dragon Backbone Continent, Firefall Plain.
As the prearranged super-large combined illusion was activated, everything within the Firefall Plain was isolated from the outside world.
In the sky above the Firefall Plain, Song Wujiang summoned his own ship, a 100-kilometer-class Dreadnought, which had just returned from the Illusion Clan Star Domain. The appearance of this massive warship seemed to block out half the sky.
Without hesitation, the Spatial Wormhole Generator component was activated within the command room of the Dreadnought.
After being enhanced to the seventh rank, this component could connect to a terrifying distance of 30 billion light-years. A typical galaxy cluster has a diameter of 10 billion light-years, meaning this component could connect over 30 galaxy clusters.
As Song Wujiang set the star coordinates provided by Song Chi as the wormhole's endpoint, the Spatial Wormhole Generator began to flash with dazzling golden light. This indicated that the star domain where these coordinates were located was within 300 billion light-years of the Dragon Backbone Continent, within the range of the Spatial Wormhole Generator.
A violent spatial fluctuation began to rise, causing the entire super-large combined illusion space to tremble.
Fortunately, this expensive super-large combined illusion space was of high quality, being a product of the Red Yu Divine Empire, one of the four super empires of the Flame Humans. Even facing the spatial fluctuations generated by this seventh-rank golden holy domain component, it showed no signs of collapse.
As time passed, a giant vortex-like spatial corridor gradually formed in the sky above the Firefall Plain. Finally, a spatial wormhole with a diameter of over 100,000 meters appeared.
When the spatial wormhole fully stabilized, Song Wujiang's voice echoed from above.
"Shiyuan, you're in charge of guarding the Firefall Plain and preventing hostile forces from taking advantage of this opportunity to attack our Dragon Backbone Continent. Everyone else, follow me to confront the demon deities of the Holy Dragon Continent. It's laughable that a fifth-rank lifeform dares to call itself a god!"
As Song Wujiang finished speaking, dozens of Deer Hunt Vessels that had been waiting activated their engines and charged into the 100,000-meter-wide spatial wormhole in the sky.
But that wasn't all. Following them were three Basic Mobile Battle Stars, terrifying steel beasts that would be the main force guarding the wormhole's exit. Additionally, the Song family had gathered tens of thousands of ordinary starships, but they didn't follow the fleet into the wormhole.
These ordinary starship fleets had limited combat power, and their primary task was to develop the resources on the fifth-rank continent after the family's elite forces had conquered it.
After all, the Holy Dragon Continent was a fifth-rank peak continent, larger than the Dragon Backbone Continent. If all the Flame Torch Captains were sent to develop it, it might require mobilizing half of the Song family's Flame Torch Captains, which could lead to chaos within the family.
With thousands of years of accumulation, the Song family had more than just the Calm Sea Star Domain to defend.
The reason for only mobilizing over ten thousand ordinary starships was simple. The high-rank confidential agreement components carried by the elders could only contract this many people.
As for why a confidentiality agreement was necessary, everyone understood the principle of "A commoner with a treasure is a target."
The value of the Spatial Wormhole Generator component was immense, so much so that even with a Dreadnought guarding it, the Song family dared not expose any information about it, lest they invite disaster.
Facing such a strategic-grade golden-quality component, at least a Star Destroyer was needed to ensure foolproof security.
