Chapter 463: The Song Family's Territory
Chapter 463: The Song Family's Territory
Beyond the Calamity Star Floating Land, the representatives of various forces from the Morningstar Republic, including Hadley Stark of the Stark family, gathered once again.
Although the general allocation had been completed, the internal distribution among them was just beginning.
Including the newly acquired 250,000 light-years, along with the original territory of the Republic and the Chaos Territory, the future territory of the Morningstar Kingdom would be around 300,000 light-years. However, how to divide this vast territory spanning 300,000 light-years was a matter that required unified discussion among the families.
Before anyone could speak, Rosetta Morningstar and Song Wujang, as if they had planned it, spoke one after the other.
"Including the original territory of the Republic, from south to north, these 120,000 light-years will belong to the Morningstar Family!"
"The Song Family is the same. Including the original territories of the Anchor Sea Territory, Red River Territory, and the western part of the Chaos Territory, extending north for 70,000 light-years, this expanse of 80,000 light-years will be the domain of the Anchor Sea Song Clan."
Hearing this, the Stark family, the Lu Clan, the Dusk Clan, and the Eagle Clan naturally showed displeasure on their faces. After all, the two families had directly claimed 200,000 light-years, which was 2/3 of the future Morningstar Kingdom.
However, the thought of each family having a Dominant Power as their backing made everyone hesitant to voice any objections.
In the end, after much debate, the remaining 100,000 light-years of territory were also distributed among the four families and the other forces of the Republic.
The Stark family claimed a 25,000 light-year territory adjacent to the Radiant Han Kingdom. The Lu Clan and the Dusk Clan each received 20,000 light-years, the Eagle Clan 15,000 light-years, and the remaining 20,000 light-years were divided among the other forces of the Republic.
This allocation plan was far from perfect, and many forces were dissatisfied. However, for the Morningstar Family and the Song Family, it was more than satisfactory.
Within their allocated territories, Song Chi immediately spotted the "Doomwind Continent."
Evidently, the family's ancestors had not forgotten the medium-sized titanium crystal vein containing the "Vein Core."
In addition to the Doomwind Continent and the Song Family's ancestral land on the Dragon Spine Continent, there were three Tier 6 floating lands in the 80,000 light-year territory. One was a life-type "Doom Void Continent," and the other two were resource-type floating lands named "Anchor Sea 001" and "Anchor Sea 002" by the family.
As for Tier 5 floating lands, there were over 20 of them, and even more at Tier 4.
Doom Sea Floating Land, Song Family Residence.
In the encrypted group chat created by the joint efforts of the Ocean Anchor Soaring Ship and the Unmoving Bodhimanda:
"Although the war is essentially over, everyone must remain vigilant. Within the 80,000 light-year territory, there are bound to be remnants of the Cataclysmic Tribes."
"In that case, Dingbang, arrange for our Stag Hunt Ship Captains to be deployed to each Tier 5 life-type floating land. As for the Tier 4 floating lands, allocate a hundred-person Inferno Fire Armor Legion to each, ensuring order on all high-tier floating lands!"
"Additionally, I will return to the Dragon Spine Continent to oversee. Shiyuan, hold on to this High-Dimensional Teleportation Gate component. Once it's enhanced to Tier 6, it can set up seven teleport coordinates within a 100,000 light-year radius in the star domain. At that time, you'll be stationed on the Doomwind Continent, and you can set up teleport coordinates on several important floating lands, including the Dragon Spine Continent and the Doom Void Continent, enabling timely reinforcements in multiple directions!"
"Furthermore, the development of these newly occupied floating lands and star domains, including immigration, must be prioritized. The sooner we complete the immigration, the sooner we can develop the value of the floating lands, and the Song Family's benefits will increase accordingly."
As Song Wujang paused, Song Dingbang, who had been attentively listening, spoke up:
"Elder, immigration might be a challenge for now."
Everyone in the group chat understood his meaning. Before this, the Anchor Sea Territory under the Song Family's jurisdiction was only over 2,000 light-years, with a population of merely several billion.
Upon hearing the news of the expansion war, the family had immediately implemented policies encouraging childbirth on all life-type floating lands within their territory, including their colonies in various star domains.
However, it had only been a few decades since then, and although the population had grown significantly, it was unrealistic to expect this population to fill an entire 80,000 light-year territory.
After a moment of thought, Song Wujang said, "The immigration in the Red River Territory and the western part of the Chaos Territory is almost complete. From now on, we'll focus on the newly occupied 70,000 light-year territory. As for the population, we'll first immigrate to all Tier 3 and above life-type floating lands. After a hundred years, when the population increases, we'll expand to all life-type floating lands."
"Yes!"
...
After saying this, Song Wujang's gaze shifted to Song Chi in the group chat.
"Little Chi, I know the Ocean Anchor Soaring Ship has the foundation to challenge a battleship. But your Guidance Technique level is only at lv45, which is far from the level of a battleship. If you initiate the ship's promotion now, it will likely result in an extended period of imbalance between you and the ship, affecting your compatibility."
"How about this: Stay on the Calamity Star Floating Land for now. The public land we selected is already in our hands, and this is a crucial time for full-scale construction. The family shop and residence are of utmost importance, so stay here and guard it for a few decades. Once your Guidance Technique level improves, you can return to the Dragon Spine Continent."
Song Chi naturally agreed without hesitation.
Apart from the fact that the elder's words were correct, his current Guidance Technique level was significantly lower, and a direct breakthrough would not only reduce the success rate of the ship's promotion but also impact his compatibility with the ship, which was something no Flame Captain wanted.
In comparison, staying on the Calamity Star Floating Land, a Tier 7 life-type floating land, was an excellent choice.
With the expansion war just concluded, the participating captains had acquired many valuable items. The Calamity Star Floating Land, being the only Tier 7 life-type floating land in this 800,000 light-year star domain and located at its center, would undoubtedly be the most welcoming place for wandering Flame Captains.
Staying there would provide better opportunities to collect various Stellar Artifacts that couldn't be converted into ship components, such as black hole dense stones, void stones, low-level artificial brains, and angel blood.
With good luck, they might even acquire high-tier floating land origins, starfield plant cores, and high-tier void crystals, which were rare and highly sought-after.
However, throughout this conversation, the topic of the Spatial Wormhole Generator, a Golden Holy Artifact, was never brought up. Did the members of the group chat not know about the existence of this artifact? Of course not!
The real reason was simple: through the Spatial Wormhole Generator...
The establishment of a spatial wormhole between the Dragon Spine Continent and the Doom Wind Continent significantly improves immigration efficiency, offering immense benefits for floating continent development and trade.
However, there's an issue that cannot be ignored.
The Spatial Wormhole Generator, a golden Holy Artifact strategic-level component, is so significant that once its existence is exposed, a single Tier 3 Tri-Eye Royal House Sovereign Flagship won't be enough to deter the prying eyes of outsiders.
It must be a complete Star Destroyer, allowing the Song Clan to officially enter the ranks of the Immortal Clans, before they can freely utilize this component and even engage in transactions with other powers.
For instance, they could charge fees to open wormhole channels for other Immortal Clans.
As these orders were issued, the Song Clan fleet quickly set off from the Doom Sea Continent, using stargates or spatial jumps to reach their designated star territories.
The Doom Sea Continent is only a few thousand light-years away from the Calamity Star Floating Land, making it a genuine territory of the three Immortal Clans of the Radiant Han Kingdom. Naturally, they couldn't linger there.
...
Calamity Star Floating Land, Heavenly Han Plain.
After careful deliberation, the three Immortal Clans of the Radiant Han Kingdom decided to designate this area as a public open region.
Today, this plain, spanning millions of kilometers, is bustling with activity. Every moment, hundreds of thousands of Flame Warships take off and land, making this plain a hub of prosperity.
In the center of the Heavenly Han Plain, a mountain resembling the Dragon Spine Divine Mountain has emerged in just a few months under the Song Clan's remarkable craftsmanship, and it has been designated as the Song Clan's sole residence in the Calamity Star Floating Land.
Not far from the Dragon Spine Mountain Palace, another gigantic city has also risen from the ground in a short time.
The city is named Dragon Spine City, serving as the Song Clan's trading hub.
Within Dragon Spine City, there are not only the Song Clan's Dragon Spine Shop but also numerous shops rented or sold at high prices, making the city more vibrant each day.
Dragon Spine Shop Building, Top Floor.
Just as Song Chi finished some crucial tasks, he was about to enter the Heavenly Marketplace to begin his cultivation mission for the next few decades.
Suddenly, a beeping sound rang in his ear.
Looking down, he saw that the Bright Light Order 32 had received a group message from the Star Order.
"3rd 'Shi Gou': Everyone, does anyone have a Tier 6 Moon Spring? Urgently needed!"
"5th 'Letyang': Hey 3rd 'Shi Gou', are you attempting to advance to Tier 7?"
"3rd 'Shi Gou': Yeah, but I failed!"
"19th 'Zhuoyang': What? Then your ship..."
"17th 'Yu Long': Uncle Shi Gou, even you failed? I don't have a Tier 6 Moon Spring, but I'll ask my people to search for it. However, the chances are slim as it's very rare. Also, Uncle Shi Gou, do you need longevity artifacts? I have a Tier 6 Starlight Plant Heart that can extend your lifespan by several hundred years."
"3rd 'Shi Gou': If I can get a 'Moon Spring', then my lifespan is fine. Also, I have a special component that, even though my ship's advancement failed, it didn't sink. Only two silver components were destroyed, but the Flame Seed has entered a buffer state, and I can only summon and control the ship again after the buffer time passes!"
"17th 'Yu Long': That's great! As long as the ship didn't sink, there's still a chance for a second attempt!"
...
Shi Gou's words ignited the entire communication group chat, with messages flooding in one after another.
After reading the messages, Song Chi's heart stirred.
He happened to have a Tier 6 Moon Spring, or perhaps his ancestor had one. The Tier 6 Moon Spring he obtained from the Dark Night Elf had already been handed over to his ancestor.
Such items are already rare, and he shouldn't be tempted by them.
However, the relationship among the members of the Bright Light Star Tower is exceptionally good. Shi Gou's ship failed to advance to a Star Destroyer, and the Flame Seed entered a thousand-year buffer state. If they couldn't obtain a Tier 6 Moon Spring, the chances of a second attempt at advancing to a Star Destroyer would be slim.
As for longevity artifacts, Shi Gou's status is not low, and he has consumed numerous longevity artifacts over the years. Most longevity artifacts no longer have much effect on him.
If he could help, Song Chi was willing to lend a hand.
Moreover, Shi Gou's identity is not simple, and he possesses many valuable items. If he offers the Tier 6 Moon Spring, the other party will likely exchange it for items of equal or even greater value.
For example, a silver Advancement Flame Source.
Currently, the ancestor needs a silver Advancement Flame Source.
Due to the limitations of the Flame Seed, the Unmoving Bodhimanda, despite being promoted to an Intrepid Ship, has components that are only enhanced to Tier 6. This makes its combat power average among Intrepid Ships.
If the Flame Seed could be evolved into silver and the component enhancement level increased to Tier 7, it would greatly enhance the Unmoving Bodhimanda's combat power.
With this in mind, Song Chi first sent a message via the Bright Light Star Order.
"32nd 'Thunder Awaken': Uncle Shi Gou, I have information about a Tier 6 Moon Spring, but I need to inquire about the details. Please wait!"
After sending the message, he made his way to the basement of the Dragon Spine Shop Building, where the ship summoning room was located. Once the Heaven Ruin Skydome was summoned, he would activate the Long-Range Communication Disc component.
After enhancing this component to Tier 6, its maximum communication distance reached 100,000 light-years. Although the Ocean Anchor Soaring Ship had already departed for the Dragon Spine Continent, it should still be within communication range.
However, before he could activate the component, another reply arrived in the Star Order group chat.
"26th 'Xuanhu': Thunder Awaken, amazing!"
"3rd 'Shi Gou': Thunder Awaken, these are some decent items I can offer. Please ask if the other party is interested!"
He then uploaded a statistical information table.
"Silver time component [Pseudo Time Crown], 1 portion of Sovereign True Spirit, 2 strands of 7th Rank Continental Essence, 1 drop of Sovereign Essence Blood..."
The various resources listed on this table made the group chat members envious.
Song Chi was no exception, but he soon frowned, his intuition telling him that his ancestor would most likely want the silver Advancement Flame Source. However, Shi Gou didn't seem to have it.
Song Chi replied with just two words, "Don't worry," and then activated the Long-Range Communication Disc component.
As expected, the component successfully activated the daughter disc left on the Ocean Anchor Soaring Ship, and Song Wujang had not yet traveled beyond 100,000 light-years from the Calamity Star Floating Land.
"Little Chi, what's up?"
