Chapter 486: The Final Distribution (Mid-Autumn Festival Greetings)
Chapter 486: The Final Distribution (Mid-Autumn Festival Greetings)
Time passed, and ten days later.
During this period, members of the two families gradually began to return, bringing the same news.
The exploration of the entire Mystic Realm was almost complete, and a total of ten Time Boundary Trees were discovered, including two Tier 6, two Tier 5, and six Tier 4 trees.
(The previous two chapters have been partially revised, so subscribers who checked last night can refresh and take a look.) At the same time, they also detailed the discovery of the Buddha's skull and flesh tissue.
The higher-ups of both families had various suspicions, and the Song family was no exception. During these ten days, Song Chi did not speak up, as the other party was a Star Destroyer, and there was a risk of their encrypted Magnetic Wave Communication and warship communication components being captured. It was safer to wait until they returned to the Dragon Spine Continent.
After a brief moment of suspicion, the higher-ups of both families calmed down. Regardless of why the Sovereign-Rank Xianzong Clan had perished in ancient times, according to those below, the energy in its flesh and blood had probably long since dissipated, rendering it of little value.
In comparison, they were more interested in the distribution of the ten Time Boundary Trees.
In the end, each family received one Tier 6 Time Boundary Tree, one Tier 5 Time Boundary Tree, three Tier 4 Time Boundary Trees, and the same number and rank of Time Boundary Fruits.
Although the distribution was complete, it didn't mean that the Time Boundary Trees would be transplanted back to each family's Mystic Realm. The original environments in each Mystic Realm were different, so it wasn't a guarantee that transplanting a Mystic Realm resource to another realm would ensure its growth or continuous production in the new realm.
Without a Supreme Immortal Realm Spirit Soil like the one Song Chi had, the chances of a successful transplant were slim, even with the aid of a Spirit Spring like Clearwater.
Therefore, both families agreed to leave all ten Time Boundary Trees in this Mystic Realm. In the future, both families would jointly guard the Mystic Realm and collect resources from within.
Furthermore, both families would provide Tier 6 Void Crystals to accelerate the Mystic Realm, ensuring that all ten Time Boundary Trees could produce Time Boundary Fruits more quickly.
In the main control room of the Heaven Ruin Skydome, Song Chi's expression was calm, but his mind was not.
The Tier 7 Time Boundary Tree that he had concealed was not discovered by the Morningstar Clan, which meant that when the Sovereign Rank in the Wasteland Market advanced another level, he would most likely be able to quietly obtain the Tier 7 Time Boundary Tree.
In the Cultivation Mystic Realm, there was one Tier 6, two Tier 5, and one Tier 4 Time Boundary Tree standing around the Clearwater Spirit Spring, growing rapidly under the effect of the Mystic Realm Accelerator.
It was unknown how long it would take for the second round of Time Boundary Fruits to be produced.
The extra Tier 4 Time Boundary Tree was the one that Song Hao and Song White Robe had obtained by chance and sent to the Wasteland Market.
Thinking of this, Song Chi looked at the storage capsule on the side.
Inside it were a Tier 7 Time Boundary Fruit, two Tier 5 Time Boundary Fruits, and a Tier 4 Time Boundary Fruit.
Including the one from the ancestor, there was a total of one Tier 6, one Tier 5, and three Tier 4 Time Boundary Fruits.
After a few more days, both families summoned a Tier 5 Battleship Captain each to personally guard the entrance to the Mystic Realm. They used a Large Composite Illusion Space to conceal the entire nearby star zone, ensuring maximum secrecy.
With the Time Boundary Trees at stake, both families would not allow any mishaps.
After this, the lower-ranked members of both families signed the Golden Confidentiality Agreement with Rosetta Morningstar.
After completing these tasks, the two families finally departed.
...
Dragon Spine Continent, Family Ancestral Hall.
To ensure the confidentiality of the information, Song Wujiang consecutively activated the Chaos Fog and Starlight Projection functions of the Dragon Whale Hall. Then, he and Song Chi communicated with Song Shiyuan, who had projected over from Stormwind Floating Land.
"Chi, tell me in detail about the harvest this time and if there are any secrets left in the Mystic Realm."
Song Chi did not hide anything and waved his hand to retrieve several Time Boundary Fruits.
Song Wujiang and Song Shiyuan's gazes immediately fixed on the obviously extraordinary Tier 7 Time Boundary Fruit.
"This Time Boundary Fruit seems to surpass Tier 6. Could it be..."
As they spoke, both turned their questioning eyes to Song Chi.
"Indeed, this is a Seventh Rank Time Boundary Fruit!"
Before the two could even show their surprise, Song Chi continued, "There is a Seventh Rank Time Boundary Tree in that Mystic Realm, but it has been tightly bound and embedded in the core by the Mystic Realm's will, along with the flesh and blood of the Veda Clan. It's currently impossible to transplant it out."
"However, I've concealed it with a silver-tier legendary artifact for now. We can transplant it later when we're more confident. Additionally, your grandson has also transplanted four Time Boundary Trees in advance."
After hearing Song Chi's words, Song Wujiang and Song Shiyuan smiled and nodded.
Once their excitement subsided, the three began discussing how to utilize the Time Boundary Fruits they had obtained.
A Seventh Rank, a Sixth Rank, three Fifth Ranks, and four Fourth Ranks.
The nine Time Boundary Fruits could grant nine Flame Heritage Ships a second lease on life. If used well, it could significantly boost the entire clan's strength.
First, the Sixth Rank Time Boundary Fruit was undoubtedly for the Steadfast Dragon Soar. With this fruit as insurance, Song Wujiang might attempt to challenge the Star Destroyer class in a few hundred years.
The four Fourth Rank Time Boundary Fruits were simple; the clan had many Fourth Rank potential members like Song Yan, Song Ze, and Song Bei.
Oddly, the three Fifth Rank Time Boundary Fruits posed a dilemma for Song Wujiang and Song Shiyuan. Seeing the hint of hesitation on their faces, Song Chi was puzzled.
Song Wujiang spoke up, "Little Chi, do you urgently need the Fifth Rank Time Boundary Fruits?"
Hearing this question, Song Chi's confusion deepened.
For himself, he didn't need the Fifth Rank Time Boundary Fruits urgently. The Heaven Ruin Skydome had just been promoted to a battleship, and it would take at least a century or even several centuries to challenge the Fearless Ship class.
Should he consume it to control the Time Law?
The reason he could simultaneously comprehend the Space and Light Laws was due to his dual pupils, but they only maintained the balance of two laws. If he mastered a third law now, it would significantly increase the difficulty of his comprehension, a potential loss.
However, the focus wasn't on him. According to Song Chi's knowledge, there were only a few battleship captains in the clan. The ship of the Ju Zu had already been promoted, and Tianhao Ancestor had just been promoted to a battleship captain. It seemed that only Dingbang Ancestor could use the Fifth Rank Time Boundary Fruits.
By this calculation, the Fifth Rank Time Boundary Fruits should be more than enough.
Despite his confusion, Song Chi shook his head honestly.
"Your grandson doesn't need the Fifth Rank Time Boundary Fruits for now!"
Hearing this, the expressions of Song Wujiang and Song Shiyuan visibly relaxed.
Seemingly noticing Song Chi's confusion, Song Wujiang explained after some thought, "Little Chi, there's another hidden lineage in the clan, whose strength surpasses the Tian and Di branches from before the Expansion War. They are crucial for the Dragon Spine Continent's promotion to a Seventh Rank Floating Land. However, they haven't produced a Fearless Shipmaster, so their potential is greatly limited in the Jie Ling Starfield."
"One of the three Fifth Rank Time Boundary Fruits will be given to Dingbang Ancestor. Since you don't need it urgently, the other two will be sent to the hidden lineage first. How does that sound?"
Song Chi: ???
Hidden lineage?
He was almost two hundred years old, but this was the first time he had heard of this.
At the same time, he recalled the evaluation he received from the ancestor when he was promoted to a battleship captain. Song Wujiang had said that he was among the top three in the clan in three thousand years.
Now, it seemed that this might be related to the hidden lineage.
Although Song Chi had many thoughts, he quickly nodded, indicating he had no objections.
There were already two Fifth Rank Time Boundary Trees in the Cultivation Mystic Realm. By the time the Heaven Ruin Skydome was ready to challenge the Fearless Ship class, there might have been multiple rounds of Fifth Rank Time Boundary Fruits produced.
As for the Seventh Rank Time Boundary Fruit, both Song Wujiang and Song Shiyuan agreed that Song Chi should decide how to use it.
They understood that although Song Chi could use the Sovereign Projection, the cost was significant each time. Therefore, this most valuable item should rightfully belong to Song Chi.
Moreover, the Seventh Rank Time Boundary Fruit was only needed when a Star Destroyer was promoted to an Eighth Rank Flame Heritage Ship, and with the Song Clan's current strength, it was uncertain when they could use it.
However, Song Chi was different. He could freely trade with various star sea alien races in the Pantheonic Marketplace, making it easier for him to use or trade the Seventh Rank Time Boundary Fruit.
Song Chi didn't refuse, and regarding this Seventh Rank Time Boundary Fruit...
He was indeed envious, although he couldn't directly consume it for the time being, nor could he use it on a battleship. Still, its value was evident.
Even if it was just displayed in the Wasteland Market's trading shop, it would undoubtedly elevate the market's prestige.
After all, this item was something that all seventh-rank Star Sea beings craved.
A sixth-rank Time Boundary Fruit, when consumed, could directly bring the Law of Time to the initial stage of minor accomplishment. He wasn't sure about the effects of this seventh-rank Time Boundary Fruit, but it might allow the Law of Time to reach 20%, 30%, or even the intermediate stage, making it incredibly valuable.
Song Chi estimated that the value of this seventh-rank Time Boundary Fruit might not be inferior to a golden Holy Domain Quality Strategic Component or a strand of Golden Ascension Flame.
Hmm, which was equivalent to an ordinary black component.
...
After confirming the distribution of all the Time Boundary Fruits, the three of them shifted the topic to the recent leak of the secret realm's information.
Although the problem originated with the initial report from the second-rank clan member, it ultimately traced back to some communication issues within the family. The encrypted information seemed to have been cracked, leading to a series of subsequent problems.
"In the future, we must increase the family's budget for communication and encryption. The family's quantum communication wristband still needs to enhance its long-range interstellar communication capabilities. Additionally, we should raise the acquisition priority of battleship communication components. Even with multiple encryption methods, there's always a risk of information leakage when transmitting through the Flame Network!"
"Hmm!"
After all the discussions were concluded, Song Shiyuan ended the projection.
As for the four Time Boundary Trees in Song Chi's hands, Song Wujiang and the others didn't ask further questions.
Song Chi also didn't bring it up, only stating that he should be able to produce various ranks of Time Boundary Fruits from time to time.
...
At the foot of the Dragon Spine Sacred Mountain, in the White Jade Plaza.
Before the Heaven Ruin Skydome landed, the Vastness and Daybreak had already been waiting there.
Once the battleship communication group chat was connected, Song Hao and Song White Robe spoke respectfully in turn.
"Uncle Song Chi!"
"Hmm."
Song Chi nodded, his gaze sweeping over the two projections before asking,
"How's your progress in comprehending the laws?"
Song Hao spoke first, sharing that he was comprehending the Law of Light, and his current comprehension had reached 0.75%.
Following Song Hao, Song White Robe also didn't hide anything.
"Reporting to Uncle Song Chi, I'm comprehending the Law of Space, and my current comprehension is at 0.24%."
Song Chi nodded and said, "You two have done very well this time. I won't mention the family's rewards, but this is a personal reward from me, and you can choose one of them."
"Hao, you can choose between the silver energy shield and a strand of Red Ascension Flame."
"White Robe, you can choose between the silver ship armor or five Space Law Fruits, which will increase your comprehension of the Law of Space by 0.3% in a short time."
Both Song Hao and Song White Robe hesitated a little over the choices Song Chi offered.
In the end, Song Hao chose the silver energy shield, while Song White Robe took the five Space Law Fruits.
Of course, besides these two choices, Song Chi didn't reclaim the two red main cannons he had lent to them.
After retrieving the Taiyi Soul Suppressing Monument, Brainwave Remote Control System, and Supreme Immortal Realm Spirit Soil from Song Hao, Song Chi piloted the Heaven Ruin Skydome and soared into the sky, quickly disappearing from sight.
On the Vastness and Daybreak, Song Hao and his companion exchanged a glance, both with smiles on their faces.
"Let's go. We've been on the Dragon Spine Continent for so long; it's time to explore the outside world. The family is short-staffed everywhere, and we can't slack off."
As they spoke, the two cruisers also soared into the sky, heading towards the family's exclusive mid-range teleportation stargate not far from the Dragon Spine Continent.
...
Dragon Spine Continent, Green Moon Estate.
With the matter concluded, Song Chi was about to set off to search for the suspected second Time Chess Piece. During this departure preparation, he naturally wanted to spend time with his family.
However, unexpectedly, Song Ting hadn't been seen for several days, according to her parents.
Song Chi smiled and shook his head, not overly concerned. This young lady was already an experienced cruiser captain, and it might not be long before she challenged the Pursuit Ship. She was no longer a sheltered flower, and it was normal for her to have her own affairs.
Moreover, with the arrangements for the Shadow Medal and Intergalactic Conversion Binding, if there was any danger, that young lady would surely call for the assistance of the Heaven Ruin Skydome.
