Chapter 431: Five Years
Chapter 431: Five Years
In the southern region of the Chaos Star Domain, similar to the previous Red River Star Domain, it had long been divided and claimed, leaving no share for the Song family.
After reaching a consensus on the distribution, not long after, the other four major powers of the Duchy each led their respective fleets and departed, leaving only the Song family fleet in the western region of the Chaos Star Domain.
In the encrypted group chat created by the Sea Domineering Dragon Soarer, messages were flying by at a rapid pace.
"Song Dingbang: A golden super main cannon, that's basically a given!"
"Song Tianshu: But it's also within our expectations, right? Considering the Morning Star family has existed for over six thousand years, including the time before the establishment of the country, having a component like the golden super main cannon isn't surprising!"
"Song Tianhao: How should we proceed with the cleanup and advancement in the western star domain?"
Looking at the messages in the group chat, Song Chi also sent one.
"Song Chi: Black Hole Dense Stone, Voidstone, and Fifth Rank and above Void Crystals. If our ancestors and elders discover these resources later on, remember to keep them for your grandson!"
As he spoke, his gaze shifted, and he continued, "By the way, I went to the Chaos Floating Land and happened to encounter the Mora Clan hiding there. These are from the Mora Clan's underground base."
After saying this, he took out the entire set of Mora Skyglide Mech construction diagrams, including the Fifth Rank Mora Skyglide Mech that had been shrunk to a few dozen meters in height by the Proportional Scaling Device.
The ancestors were taken aback by his sudden words, but after looking through the Mora Skyglide Mech construction diagrams, smiles appeared on their faces.
The Mora Skyglide Mech, with a maximum rank of Fifth Rank, would become one of the family's important foundations if the research department could successfully develop and mass-produce it.
Of course, mass production was no easy task. The Mora Skyglide Mech required Voidstone, a special spatial resource. Even though the family had control over the Mora Mystic Realm for decades, it was extremely difficult to produce a large quantity of Voidstone.
High-rank Void Crystals were not ordinary resources that could be obtained easily. Without them, it would be impossible to continuously accelerate the Mystic Realm time, so how could they obtain a large amount of the realm's specialty resources?
As for the ready-made Fifth Rank Mora Skyglide Mech, it was a supplement to the family's current high-rank combat power.
Although the main forces of various races in the Chaos Star Domain had been mostly cleaned up, who could guarantee that there weren't Fifth Rank or higher alien beings lurking in the shadows? The family fleet would eventually have to continue heading north into the civilization territory of the Calamity Star Clan, so it was essential to have high-rank combat power stationed in the rear.
Initially, they were considering how many Fourth Rank Deer Hunt Ship Captains to leave behind, but with the appearance of the Fifth Rank Mora Skyglide Mech, they only needed to bring in a Fifth Rank Mora Clan member from the Dragon Backbone Continent and enslave them using the Enslavement Component to have them guard this place.
"Song Xingru: Little Chi, can't you return to the Dragon Backbone Continent at any time? I'll leave the task of bringing the Fifth Rank Mora Clan member to you. As for your reward, the family will do its best to collect resources like Black Hole Dense Stone, Voidstone, and Fifth Rank Void Crystals for you, without any cost."
...
Time passed, and four years flew by in the blink of an eye.
After continuous cleanup and development of the western region of the Chaos Star Domain by the Song family fleets, the area was now almost entirely under their control.
On this day, Song Chi, who was meditating on the Celestial Ruin Heaven, suddenly opened his eyes. Not long ago, the Long-Range Communication Disk he had installed sent a notification.
[Communication Sub-Disc (1): Little Chi, we've found a significant number of Voidstones. Do you still need them?]
[Communication Main Disc: Yes, I'll be right there!]
Song Chi thought for a moment. He remembered that the first Communication Sub-Disc was given to the Tianmang Clan Elder, and Song Tianmang was currently in charge of the cleanup and development of the 3rd Rank 'Lightless' Floating Land.
With this in mind, he turned his gaze towards the detailed star map of the western region of the Chaos Star Domain and controlled the Celestial Ruin Heaven to soar into the sky from the surface of the 5th Rank Starlight Floating Land, heading towards the Lightless Floating Land.
It must be said that the Long-Range Communication Disk component was extremely convenient.
After strengthening it to level 50, the communication range of this red component increased from the initial 0.2 light-years to a staggering 20,000 light-years. Additionally, the number of Communication Sub-Discs that could be concentrated simultaneously reached six, with one each in the hands of his grandfather, father, Song Ting, several clan elders, and Song Dingbang. In critical moments, they could communicate through these discs.
As for the Vast Market Guest Permit and Vast Market Passage Permit, it wasn't that he didn't want to give them to his parents and family; it was just that the Vast Market involved too many things, and the fewer people who knew about it, the safer it was.
As for informing Shen Youran, it was a last resort. Compared to his frequent presence by his parents and elders, Shen Youran was too far away, and without the use of the Vast Market tokens, it was difficult to communicate and meet in real-time.
Even so, Shen Youran also produced an Oath Pact component, taking the initiative to sign a confidentiality agreement.
Buzz! As the Aurora Teleportation Device activated, the Celestial Ruin Heaven quickly arrived at the Lightless Floating Land.
As a 3rd Rank Floating Land, the Lightless Floating Land had a diameter of only a few million kilometers, and the highest-ranked alien beings within it were only Third Rank. It shouldn't have required the presence of the Limitless Pursuit Fleet Commander, Song Tianmang, but due to the existence of a Third Rank peak Floating Land Shield, he had no choice but to make the trip.
By now, the Floating Land Shield on the Lightless Floating Land had already been shattered, and the family's ordinary starships had begun to mine the resources on the Floating Land.
Floating Land Sky, the Roaring Crimson Beast hovered quietly, observing the distant transport starships that constantly came and went.
"So fast? It seems this Voidstone is indeed quite useful to you!"
As soon as the communication between the two warships was established, Song Tianmang's voice chimed in.
Song Chi smiled and didn't deny it.
The Voidstone was crucial for the future enhancements of the Divine Kingdom Task Platform. It had been several years since he obtained this Golden Holy Domain artifact, and he had yet to enhance its level. How could he not be anxious?
Song Tianmang noticed the urgency in Song Chi's eyes and didn't tease him further. Soon, a tractor beam delivered a storage capsule.
"Nearly two thousand pieces..."
Song Chi's eyes scanned the contents of the storage capsule, and he couldn't help but feel delighted.
Such a quantity of Voidstones was more than enough to enhance the Divine Kingdom Task Platform to level 60 and above.
Suppressing his joy, Song Chi asked, "Great-Grandfather Tianmang, where did you find so many Voidstones?"
He was genuinely curious about this question.
As a special spatial resource, he knew how rare these stones were. Even in the energy circles of the Radiant Star Tower, only the secret vaults of eighth-rank clans had a few hundred pieces. One could imagine how scarce they were.
Logically, for a third-rank Floating Land, even if Voidstones could be found, there should only be a few pieces at most. How could there be so many? Unless...
"Could it be a Mystic Realm?"
Hearing his quiet guess, Song Tianmang on the other side smiled and nodded.
"Yes, it's indeed a Mystic Realm, but it's the lowest-ranked Broken Mystic Realm. The original environment of the realm has been severely damaged, leaving only the Voidstone mine as a resource point. There are no other resources."
"This Mystic Realm is controlled by a small alien force on a Lightless Floating Land. You're quite lucky, as this alien force has no sales channels. Over time, they've accumulated nearly two thousand pieces."
Upon hearing this, Song Chi understood. He gently raised his hand, and a maximum-sized storage capsule appeared, ready to take out the corresponding value of Floating Land Primordial.
However, Song Tianmang stopped him.
"Wait, we agreed earlier that this is the reward for submitting the Mora Skyglide Mech blueprint and the fifth-rank Skyglide Mech. You're still getting the short end of the stick. The clan will allocate a batch of Golden Merit Points to you later!"
Seeing Song Tianmang's determination, Song Chi didn't insist further. After a private chat, he returned to the Starry Floating Land.
With enough Voidstones, Song Chi was eager to enhance the Divine Kingdom Task Platform to the sixth rank. This way, he could offer this powerful new configuration to the Starsea aliens entering the Vast Market during the next trade.
Vast Market, Additional Configuration Zone.
The current level 47 Vast Market had 20 slots in its Additional Configuration Zone. The Divine Kingdom Task Platform had only three configurations, but now only 13 slots remained.
However, there was nothing he could do about it. After all, the Golden Holy Domain-quality Divine Kingdom Task Platform alone occupied 5 slots.
Without dwelling on this, Song Chi quickly began the enhancement.
"Consume 6 strands of fourth-rank Floating Land Primordial, 150,000 Shadow Energy Points, 125 Titanium Crystals, 6 Lawstones, and 61 Voidstones to enhance the Divine Kingdom Task Platform from level 40 to level 41?"
"Confirmed!"
In the end, he consumed a total of 1,470 Voidstones and successfully enhanced the Divine Kingdom Task Platform to level 60.
With over four hundred Voidstones remaining, he didn't hesitate to enhance it further to level 5, bringing the Divine Kingdom Task Platform to level 65.
After this, Song Chi noticed he still had some Titanium Crystals and sixth-rank Floating Land Primordial left. He used them to enhance the Yin-Yang Offset Annihilation Shield component, which was currently at level 63.
When the Titanium Crystals and sixth-rank Floating Land Primordial were exhausted, the Yin-Yang Offset Annihilation Shield component reached level 67, just two levels away from the limit of the Deer Hunt Ship's enhancement capabilities.
However, this left Song Chi broke again, lacking both Titanium Crystals and sixth-rank Floating Land Primordial. He still had an abundance of fifth-rank and below Floating Land Primordial.
Lower-rank Floating Land Primordial exceeded ten billion, and he had recently given several billion strands to Wang Zhen for the acquisition of various Starsea artifacts.
This was a critical moment for the entire Duchy to divide the Chaos Star Domain and for a large number of Starsea artifacts to flood the market. Song Chi ensured that Wang Zhen had sufficient funds for acquisitions.
Song Chi sighed at the rate he was consuming resources.
He had recently raided the Mora Clan's nest, and if not for that, where would he have found so many resources to enhance the Long-Range Communication Disk, Divine Kingdom Task Platform, and Yin-Yang Offset Annihilation Shield? Even so, after enhancing just three components, his funds were once again depleted.
The good news was that after a few years, the clan had accumulated nearly a decade's worth of sequence subsidies. If he claimed them, he would have a substantial amount of additional resources.
Additionally, with over four years having passed, the deadline given by the Yaohan Kingdom was approaching. In the past couple of months, the Song family and the entire Morning Star Duchy had been making final preparations for their journey north.
