Chapter 447: Sixth Tier Silver Apple Mother Tree
Chapter 447: Sixth Tier Silver Apple Mother Tree
Having personally witnessed the completion of the task, Luke's submission of the Fifth Tier Seaflower Core went smoothly. Under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of Star Sea Aliens in the trading space, a response appeared on the central light screen.
"Fifth Tier Starseed Plant Seaflower Core meets the task requirements. The player can choose one of the following two rewards."
"Option One: Four Red Epic Oddities from the Ruins Market Exchange Shop."
"Option Two: One Divine Kingdom Team Token and One Player Squad Upgrade Scroll."
"You have 60 seconds to make your choice!"
As this message appeared, Luke and Deguen exchanged glances, without hesitation, they chose the first option.
Over the past thirty years, although the number of player squads created was minimal, there were still over ten of them.
Among them, the Gnomish Luke, Deguen, and the Night Elves joined forces, with one of them contributing Black Hole Condensed Stones, Time Sand, and Skyward Escape Stones, allowing them to form the first squad on the Divine Kingdom Task Platform, also known as the Multiverse Squad.
Currently, the Multiverse Squad is still a low-level squad, with a maximum team size of just 10 members.
However, having squad member status has granted them various benefits, making them less concerned about the second option.
Of course, the Squad Upgrade Scroll is still quite tempting, but the allure of the Red Epic Oddities is even greater.
As the Gnomish Luke made his choice, the screen in front of him suddenly changed, displaying information about the Red Epic Oddities.
These were all the Red Oddities currently available in the Oddity Exchange Shop, totaling nearly three hundred items.
Luke didn't hesitate; before this, the three Deguens had already informed him of their choices, so he made his selection quickly.
Half a minute later, amidst the countless eager gazes around them, each of the four received a satisfying Red Oddity.
Luke obtained a special mechanical oddity; when equipped on his dedicated War God Mecha, it would significantly enhance his combat power.
Deguen received a water-type oddity, which would empower him in the endless sea.
The Night Elf acquired a Red Oddity longbow.
Zhou Ping obtained a small oddity sword, which he claimed could be refined into his future flying sword.
In addition to the four, Song Chi, the mastermind behind the scenes, was also delighted. With the Seaflower Core, he now had three Fifth Tier Starseed Plant cores.
This meant that he could officially attempt to advance the Silver Apple Mother Tree to the Sixth Tier, and if successful, he would be able to obtain Sixth Tier Silver Apples in large quantities in the future.
Sixth Tier Silver Apples could evolve Orange Oddities into Red ones, each of which was extremely valuable, let alone acquiring them in bulk.
Song Chi couldn't help but feel excited at the thought of this.
A single Orange Ascension Flame Source is precious, right? Even a sixth-tier family like the Song family wouldn't dare to say they have multiple copies in stock.
But with these Sixth Tier Silver Apples, it means they can evolve Orange Ascension Flame Sources into Red ones.
Don't underestimate the difference of just one tier; the value between them is immense.
Even among Orange Ascension Flame Sources, there are ordinary and top-grade distinctions, but not for Red ones. Once evolved, they can definitely transform Orange Flame Seeds into Red ones, and this is something that many Fifth Tier Battleship Captains desperately seek.
Additionally, Song Chi could also use this opportunity to trade for the Time Chess Piece component he had been longing for. The borrowed Primordial Core Extraction Device component from his clan could also be evolved into a Red quality one, along with numerous Orange quality components on the Heaven Ruin Skydome.
With these thoughts, Song Chi focused his mind and summoned the Heaven Ruin Skydome within the Ru Market. He began the process of feeding the three Fifth Tier Starseed Plant cores to the Silver Apple Mother Tree.
Ru Market, Free Stall Area.
The Heaven Ruin Skydome quietly docked, its entire hull emitting a dazzling silver light.
Song Chi didn't isolate the interior of the warship from the outside, and after the Silver Apple Mother Tree finished consuming the three Starseed Plant cores, the entire mother tree started to grow rapidly within the Incubation Realm, causing the Chuzang's 004 Incubation Realm to glow with silver light, which then spread to the outer hull of the Heaven Ruin Skydome.
This phenomenon lasted for several hours. When the silver light dissipated, Song Chi immediately entered the Incubation Realm from the control room.
Compared to before, the Silver Apple Mother Tree had now reached a height of several hundred thousand meters, and through the vibrant life force emanating from its branches and leaves, Song Chi confirmed that it had indeed entered the Sixth Tier, or rather, returned to the Sixth Tier.
"Finally..."
Song Chi breathed a sigh of relief, but his attention quickly shifted to the distant Fire Phoenix Wood.
For some reason, the three Sky Phoenix Eggs, which had been motionless all along, now had faint cracks appearing on their shells.
"Is it because of the overwhelming life energy released by the Silver Apple Mother Tree's advancement?"
Song Chi was puzzled, but soon disregarded this thought. Regardless, the hatching of the three Sky Phoenix Eggs was a good thing.
Inside the warship, Song Chi approached the large Imperial Ruin Essence Stone.
A Sixth Tier Abyss Devil, if utilized well, could be a significant help to the Heaven Ruin Skydome.
For example, purchasing a batch of mid to high-tier Celestial Star Clan members to enslave them, or entering the Spirit Beast Incubation Realm to enslave a group of Fifth and Sixth Tier beasts as henchmen.
However, the dilemma now was whether to unseal the stone immediately or wait a while longer.
After pondering for a while, Song Chi shook his head, dismissing the idea of immediate unsealing.
There was only one reason for this.
He wasn't sure if the Enslavement Medal or the Master-Servant Spirit Ring components would be enough to control this Sixth Tier Abyss Devil.
Although this Sixth Tier Abyss Devil had been sealed for tens of thousands of years, weakening its power to the extreme, don't forget that the Abyss Devil Civilization is a sovereign-level civilization. While their lineage may not be among the Star Sea's peak lifeforms, they are masters of mind control, surpassing other Star Sea lifeforms in mental prowess.
For such beings, one must always prepare for the worst-case scenario.
Take the Flame Humanity Civilization, for example; even with the protection of the Flame Seed, it's challenging for ordinary enslavement methods to control them. This Abyss Devil Civilization is even more powerful, so extra caution is necessary.
Song Chi's plan is to wait for the Silver Apple Mother Tree to produce Sixth Tier Silver Apples, evolve the Master-Servant Contract component to Red quality, and then unseal the Imperial Ruin Essence Stone.
If ordinary enslavement components fail to control the Sixth Tier Abyss Devil, the Master-Servant Contract can be used.
This component, the Master-Servant Contract, was something Song Chi still held in high regard. Not only could it control the Flame Captain, but it had also successfully controlled the fifth-rank Celestial Star Clan. Coincidentally, just a short while ago, the fifth-rank Celestial Star Clan had been in the Dark Side of the Void Sea, and it would be perfect to exchange it for a sixth-rank Abyssal Devil Tribe.
For the next few years, Song Chi quietly traveled back and forth between the outer family residence and the Ruins Market, waiting for the final battle to come while also anticipating the Silver Apple Mother Tree to bear fruit as soon as possible.
However, this peaceful period did not last long. Two years later, the Eastern Fleet on the Calamity Sea Floating Land began a large-scale mobilization.
It wasn't just the Calamity Sea Floating Land; the two other sixth-rank Floating Lands surrounding the Calamity Star Floating Land also saw the Kingdom's garrison fleets begin a large-scale mobilization at the same time.
The war was about to begin again.
Eastern Fleet Group, under the command of the Stark-Morningstar Duchy United Fleet, in the group chat channel.
Song Tianhao: What's going on? Is this the start of the final battle?
Angela Morningstar: Not so fast. It's just a small test after the Kingdom's General Command has discussed it. The main purpose is to gather information on the high-level combat power assembled on the Calamity Star Floating Land, including the strength of the Floating Shield on the Calamity Star Floating Land, and how much support the Eight-Armed Serpent Demons outside the Tian Pan River System can provide.
Slim Eagle: Eight-Armed Serpent Demons? No way. If they really have the support of the Eight-Armed Serpent Demons, then what are we fighting for? We might as well run for our lives!
Although Slim Eagle, the acting head of the family, spoke crudely, his words resonated with many in the group chat.
What are the Eight-Armed Serpent Demons? They are a top-tier advanced civilization occupying an entire river system, comparable to the entire Flame Humanity Civilization. Not to mention the Radiant Han Kingdom, even dozens of Radiant Han Kingdoms would still be like tiny ants in comparison.
Hardy Stark: Rest assured. With the four great empires blocking the way, even if the Eight-Armed Serpent Demons send support, it will only be a couple of ordinary Sky Serpent Mother Ships with some fifth and sixth-rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demons. They won't allow a large number of Eight-Armed Serpent Demons to come over!
With the assurance from Hardy Stark, the most powerful member of the fleet, the group chat of Flame Captains felt slightly relieved.
Although the Stark family has been in decline for a long time, they once had a Star Destroyer, and their information channels and hidden connections within the Kingdom are far beyond what the Morningstar Duchy can compare to. If he says this, it's natural that he has received some reliable information.
Time passed, and two days later, the Eastern Fleet Group began to assemble in large numbers, then led by the Dongli Heavenly King Manor Fleet, they headed towards the Calamity Star Floating Land.
Of course, since it was just a test, the fleet group was not fully mobilized, and there were still over a billion starships remaining on the Calamity Sea Floating Land, including Song Chi.
Since it was just a test, it was destined not to escalate into a full-scale war, and with the several sixth-rank Silver Apples on the Silver Apple Mother Tree about to mature, Song Chi naturally had no intention of causing trouble at this time.
So, at his request, the Heaven Ruin Skydome and several other family fourth-rank Deer Hunt Ships led a family fleet of over ten thousand ships to stand guard.
Song Chi waited anxiously for the sixth-rank Silver Apples to fully mature, and with the monthly Ruins Market trading, life was quite leisurely.
On this day, after another Ruins Market trading session, Song Chi did not leave in a hurry. After tallying the profits from the market, he opened the Ruins Market Attribute Panel.
[Name: Multiverse Ruins Market]
[Market Owner: Song Chi]
[Level: lv49]
[Specifications: 190kmX190km]
...
[Upgrade Requirements: 100 strands of Floating Continent Primordial (fourth-rank), market trading amount of 217,000 strands (194500/2170000) of fourth-rank Floating Continent Primordial, 1 Star Universe Primal Stone]
"It's almost there, soon the trading amount of 217,000 strands of fourth-rank Floating Continent Primordial will be met. It's a pity that I haven't heard any news about the Star Universe Primal Stone."
Seeing the trading amount approaching two million, a smile appeared on his face. After thirty years, the Ruins Market had long been promoted to lv49, but there was nothing he could do about the enormous trading amount restriction. Fortunately, after many years of accumulation, this condition was about to be met.
The only regret was the Star Universe Primal Stone. He didn't know if this was the name used by the Immortal Domain Civilization, but after searching through the entire family database and asking Shen Youran, Ansevi, and even the members of the Bright Light Star Tower, he had never heard of such a material.
Shaking his head, he tried not to think about it anymore.
"If all else fails, I'll have to use the last piece of Mixed Primal Copper. Advancing the market is the priority."
Song Chi guessed that with the market's advancement, the Sovereign Power it bestowed might be further enhanced. Even if it didn't directly jump from seventh to eighth rank, it would at least strengthen the projection of the Market Projection Token's Multiverse Ruins Market, moving it out of the weakest seventh-rank power category.
He believed this to be very important.
...
Time passed, and another two and a half years went by. During these nearly three years, the Kingdom's three fleet groups repeatedly tested the Calamity Star Floating Land, often concentrating fire with over a billion starships, but there was no further news.
No one expressed impatience because everyone knew that this battle would determine the final outcome of the war, and it was of great significance.
Additionally, the Radiant Han Kingdom only had three Star Destroyers, and breaking through a Floating Shield of the same rank was not an easy task, let alone with two Calamity Star Clan Sovereigns within the Floating Shield.
Regarding this, Song Chi was rather pleased. The later the final battle began, the more time he had to prepare.
Today, there was some great news. After advancing to the sixth rank, the three sixth-rank Silver Apples on the Silver Apple Mother Tree finally matured.
Although the number was small, his joy was uncontrollable.
Spatial fluctuations swept through the Heaven Ruin Skydome, and Song Chi, who had exited the Incubation Realm, successfully obtained the three sixth-rank Silver Apples.
Regarding the distribution of these three Silver Apples, he had already considered it, so there was no hesitation this time.
Family Residence, the courtyard where several elders resided.
"Little Chi, what's with the sudden visit? You rarely come here these days."
The one who spoke was naturally Song Xingru. In recent years, Song Chi had kept a low profile, so her curiosity was piqued by his sudden visit.
However, Song Chi didn't say much. He gave Song Xingru a sixth-rank Silver Apple and quickly turned to leave without lingering.
