Chapter 384: Return to the Radiance Star Tower
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye, and as Song Chi fully familiarized himself with all the changes over the past two decades, the family research institute also delivered a total of one thousand Fourth Rank Inferno Fire Armors to the Moonlit Manor.
The delivery was not handled by a Flamefire Battleship but by a standard transport starship specifically designed for large cargo. The captains of these starships often had a height of ten thousand meters. While they lacked matching firepower and hull strength, they were unparalleled in terms of transportation capabilities.
After multiple transport ships unloaded all 1,000 Inferno 01 Model Battle Armors, Song Chi's response was straightforward. He activated the Proportional Scaling Device component, shrinking all the Inferno Fire Armors into their mini forms one by one. With this, even though there were as many as 1,000 units, they didn't take up much storage space on the Cob Alt Number.
...
Flame Keeper Human Galaxy Cluster and Eight-Armed Serpent Demon Galaxy Cluster Confrontation Region, Frandia Kingdom Segment Civilization Great Wall, Radiance Star Tower.
As a flash of light and shadow appeared on the login platform, a new figure soon emerged in the star tower hall.
"Thunder Awakens, you finally showed up. After being in seclusion for twenty years, everyone thought something had happened to you..."
As soon as Song Chi logged into the star tower, he heard a greeting in his ear from "Mystical Fox," who happened to be in the star tower hall as well.
"Sorry, I've been in seclusion for the past twenty years, comprehending the Laws. By the way, Brother Mystical Fox, is there anyone on the second floor right now?"
Upon hearing this, Mystical Fox immediately understood.
"Are you going to comprehend the Chaos Tablet again?"
"Yeah!" Song Chi nodded.
"Go ahead, there's no one there. The Chaos Tablet consumes a certain amount of chaotic energy each time it assists someone in comprehension. It needs time to recover on its own before it can be used again. That's why comprehension opportunities from the Chaos Tablet are not easily obtained, and it's mostly unoccupied most of the time."
Mystical Fox nodded lightly, but Song Chi's next action surprised him. Instead of heading directly to the second floor of the star tower, he first made his way towards the Star Tower Marketplace.
Seeing this, Mystical Fox was momentarily surprised, but then he realized that "Thunder Awakens" hadn't logged into the star tower for more than twenty years. Moreover, the elders of the star tower had always believed that Song Chi's background was not ordinary. After twenty years, it was only natural that he had accumulated some valuable items.
With this thought, he froze.
Song Chi took out more than three dozen Celestial Oddities from the Flamefire Ancestral Nexus, and they were all purple and orange artifacts that could be converted into ship components.
These were the Celestial Oddities accumulated for Song Chi by the Multiverse Bazaar over the past two decades.
As for the more specific sources?
First, there was the Bloodline Baptism Platform, as there were always a few aliens attempting bloodline baptism each month.
Then there were the exchanges for the Marketplace Guest Token and the Marketplace Travel Token. Over time, these two tokens had also brought him numerous Celestial Oddities in the past twenty years.
Additionally, the over one thousand two hundred Celestial Oddities were not all; there were still hundreds more left in the Bazaar Oddity Exchange Shop. Those were artifacts that couldn't be converted into ship components.
If these artifacts were exchanged for Star Tower Points, they would be subject to significant discounts. Although it was better than the half-price offered on the market, it was still only seventy percent of the artifact's actual value. Song Chi was not willing to exchange them.
Speaking of the one thousand two hundred artifacts in his hand, there were two hundred orange components and over a thousand purple components. With his confirmation, the Star Tower AI began to estimate the exchangeable points for each artifact.
[Purple Gale Engine, a conventional purple engine, exchangeable for 4 Star Tower Marketplace points.]
[Purple Kurcaser Soul Devouring Cannon, a conventional purple main cannon, exchangeable for 3 Star Tower Marketplace points.]
...
[Orange Nuclear Fusion Shield, a small top-grade orange energy shield, exchangeable for 55 Star Tower Marketplace points.]
As time passed, nearly ten minutes later, the Star Tower AI finally calculated the total exchangeable points for all the artifacts.
12,500 Star Tower Marketplace points.
[Exchangeable for 12,500 marketplace points. Confirm exchange?]
"Yes!"
Song Chi didn't hesitate and directly exchanged all the artifacts for points.
He had examined all these components, and they were basically of no use to him. The others on the pulse had also chosen what they wanted at the cost price, so there were no other concerns at the moment.
Soon, his personal star token account increased by 12,500 points.
Looking at these points, Song Chi's heart remained calm.
He didn't rush to check the high-level components in the Star Tower Marketplace, nor did he show any intention to purchase anything. He had already made detailed plans before this.
He decided to accumulate points diligently and see if he could exchange for the Yin-Yang Counterbalance Annihilation Shield component later. This golden Sanctum-grade energy shield was obviously much better than the Immortal Realm Quintessence Energy Shield. If it was further combined with the promotion of the Neutron Star Core Armor component to silver quality, the attributes of the Cob Alt Number would soar.
However, this golden energy shield required 30,000 points to exchange, so the task was still challenging.
After dealing with the Star Tower Marketplace points, Song Chi didn't hesitate and strode towards the second floor of the star tower.
At the same time, the Radiance Star Token Chat Group.
"26 'Mystical Fox': Breaking news, Thunder Awakens is here to comprehend the Chaos Tablet for the second time."
With Mystical Fox's message, many members who had been inactive suddenly emerged.
"17 'Jade Lotus': Gossip time! I bet that Thunder Awakens will comprehend our Radiant Star Arrival secret technique."
"16 'Lancang': That's too optimistic. The difficulty of the second comprehension is not something to be taken lightly!"
"22 'Crimson Fox': I also think it's difficult. If it's the second comprehension after reaching the Fourth Rank, there might be a chance, but isn't Thunder Awakens still at the Third Rank?"
"26 'Mystical Fox': Yeah!"
...
Song Chi was, of course, unaware of the discussion in the star token chat group. At this moment, he had already sat down in front of the Radiance Chaos Stele.
Even though it wasn't his first time comprehending, Song Chi's heart was still filled with awe.
Compared to the ordinary Secret Technique Inheritance Tablet, the Chaos Tablet was many times more precious. Not only could it inscribe special secret techniques, but it could also carry various Law Paths, assisting in the comprehension of various Origin Laws. Just this aspect was far beyond what the Secret Technique Inheritance Tablet could offer.
Taking a deep breath, under Song Chi's skilled control, his plain eyes began to display Double Pupil, with spatial and light energies, both profound and mysterious, appearing in his right and left eyes respectively. Clearly, Song Chi had pushed the power of Double Pupil to the extreme.
"Boom!"
His seated body was enveloped by chaotic energy, and his vision followed suit. When his gaze landed on the body of the Radiance Chaos Stele, his mind seemed to resonate with a thunderous roar, followed by an influx of direct, essence-seeking Law comprehension brought about by Double Pupil.
At this moment, Song Chi was like a dry sponge, while the infinite comprehension of the Law was within reach, yet it was as distant as the ocean on the horizon, eagerly yearning to be absorbed.
However, to cross the chasm-like ravine, only the psychic state's mind power, transformed into psychic threads, could achieve this. For Song Chi, who possessed a formidable mind power with a single mind and twenty-one uses, it was effortless.
Countless psychic threads were condensed and transformed into pipes extending towards the vast ocean on the other side, tirelessly drawing seawater for this parched sponge.
It could be seen that amidst the relentless absorption of the psychic threads, seawater infused with various other Laws was also drawn over. But with the powerful discernment of the Double Pupil, unnecessary Law comprehension was directly ignored, leaving behind a substantial amount of Spatial Origin Law comprehension and a small portion of Light Law comprehension.
Time passed by as this continued.
After an unknown duration, a Rune Tablet floating above the ocean on the opposite side of the ravine was abruptly seized by one of the psychic threads. Before Song Chi could react, his Double Pupil underwent a transformation.
If there had been an outsider present at this moment, they would have witnessed the sudden emergence of a dense radiance in Song Chi's eyes, none other than the dazzling starlight.
Deep within his mind, in a realm of the unknown.
As Song Chi lifted his gaze, he caught sight of a magnificent star hanging above him, so brilliant that it blotted out the sky.
"Radiance Star!"
These three words seemed to escape his mouth instinctively.
Although he had never seen the true Radiance Star, the projection summoned by the Corpse Dog was almost identical to the majestic star above, except that the diameter of this star was many times larger, and the aura it exuded was equally immense.
His thoughts raced, and a sudden comprehension of a mysterious technique abruptly surged into his mind. Song Chi realized that this was the comprehension of the secret technique known as Radiant Star Arrival.
As time passed, Song Chi not only successfully comprehended the foundation of the Radiant Star Arrival technique, but his proficiency surpassed even those elders who had cultivated this secret technique for a century.
Simultaneously, as the Double Pupil gazed upward, he felt his comprehension of the Light Law rapidly increasing. Moreover, as he continued to observe, his analytical abilities were pushed to their limits, causing another new secret technique comprehension to emerge in his mind.
Vaguely, Song Chi became aware of some information about this new technique.
"Celestial Plunge..."
Just as he was about to grasp its complete information, he deliberately severed his connection with this secret technique.
Including the newly comprehended Radiant Star Arrival, he had now comprehended three secret techniques at the Third Rank. Although the Double Pupil had assisted him, this was the best choice, as comprehending more would hinder his progress in understanding the Laws.
Furthermore, due to his primary cultivation in the Spatial Law, Song Chi would not have much time to dedicate to the Light Law at the Third Rank. Now, with the Radiance Star accelerating his Light Law comprehension, it was crucial to maximize this opportunity and enhance his Light Law comprehension as much as possible.
If he were to comprehend a second secret technique, the improvement in his Light Law would likely cease here, which Song Chi was unwilling to accept.
Dispelling all remnants of the second secret technique from his mind, Song Chi fixed his gaze on the dazzling Radiance Star above. The radiance of this vast star was gradually fading, and it wouldn't be long before it completely dissipated. He had to seize this chance to comprehend as much as possible.
After an unknown duration, when the Radiance Star finally vanished, Song Chi snapped out of his comprehension of the Radiance Chaos Stele.
A strong sense of loss washed over him, but his attention was quickly drawn to the gains from this comprehension of the Chaos Stele.
Aside from comprehending the Radiant Star Arrival technique, his comprehension of both the Spatial Law and the Light Law had significantly progressed.
Before comprehending the Radiance Chaos Stele, his comprehension of the Spatial Law was at 1.5%, and the Light Law was at 0.4%.
Currently, his comprehension of the Spatial Law had reached 1.6%, and the Light Law was at 0.45%.
This was only temporary; with further digestion, it shouldn't be difficult to increase each Law by another 0.01% to 0.02%.
Compared to his first comprehension, this effect far exceeded his imagination.
The primary reason for this was, of course, the Double Pupil, but it was also related to Song Chi's proficiency in the Spatial Law.
When he had come to comprehend the Laws before, his comprehension of the Spatial Law was barely at 0.48%, but now it was at 1.5%.
The difference might seem insignificant, but the understanding of the essence of the Spatial Law was vastly different.
To illustrate with a simple example:
When learning a new subject, if the Song Chi who had come to comprehend the Laws for the first time was like a complete novice, then the Song Chi who had come this time was like someone who had already received foundational education. Naturally, the latter would find learning easier and faster.
As Song Chi descended the stairs, he was about to chat with the Mystical Fox, who had been waiting for him for quite some time. This time, his comprehension session wasn't just a couple of hours; it had lasted half a day, which was due to his improved proficiency in the Spatial Law.
However, before he could speak, an urgent alarm sounded from outside the Star Tower.
Having been a member of the Star Tower for nearly two centuries, the Mystical Fox immediately understood the significance of the alarm. "The defense fleet is requesting aid! Those eight-armed serpent demons have returned..."
As he spoke, the Mystical Fox rushed out of the Star Tower, while Song Chi quickly contacted all members through the Star Tower chat group.
"32 - Thunder Awakens: @All Members, the defense fleet has just sent a distress signal. The eight-armed serpent demons are attacking again."
Before he could finish typing, the Mystical Fox, who had already rushed out of the Star Tower, shouted, "26 - Mystical Fox: Damn it! The situation is getting out of control! That Sky Serpent Mother Ship must have used some kind of trick, and now there are numerous eight-armed serpent demons on the walls. Everyone, log in immediately!"
"3 - Corpse Dog: Right away!"
"17 - Jade Lotus: I'm available this time! I'm coming!"
...
In an instant, over a dozen responses flooded the group chat.
Song Chi hesitated for only a moment before canceling his login.
The Star Tower elders were referring to a true body login, not a projection login, which could only be used to comprehend the Chaos Stele and not summon the Flamefire Battleship to fight.
Although Song Chi was usually cautious and avoided taking risks, the urgency of the situation left him with no choice.
