Chapter 522: The Chaos Task
Chapter 522: The Chaos Task
Both of them had similar reasons, and there was no immediate need, so they temporarily converted it into merit points, waiting to exchange them for necessary items in the future.
Regarding Song Chi and Song Shixing's choices, the other members of the Hidden Vein did not interfere too much.
After the subsequent distribution was completed, under Song Shixing's leadership, they left without any hesitation and quickly headed towards their next planned destination.
...
The Song family's operation lasted for a full month until the Sun Sparrow Clan discovered the slaughter of the Flame Crow Clan and took the initiative to respond. Only then did all the core members of the Hidden Vein return to Dragon Abyss City.
"Hahaha, it felt so good! You have no idea how satisfying it was to use artillery to slaughter the Sword Slave Clan. They once ambushed and killed two of our fourth-rank clan elders. This time, we directly wiped out a medium-sized Sword Bone City, killing three fifth-rank Sword Slaves, and over twenty fourth-rank Sword Slaves."
"Who can deny that? It's a pity that several Sword Bone Cities with sixth-rank Sword Slaves can activate the Ten Thousand Slave Bone Array. Even if we release the Starry Sky Shark, it would be difficult to break through in a short time. Otherwise, we would have killed a few sixth-rank Sword Slaves."
"That's not necessary. The Starry Sky Shark shouldn't be deployed yet. This time, we're just looting some special resources and taking revenge for the past. The greatest value of the Crimson Star Continent lies in those large, even giant resource veins, the eighth-rank Origin Eruption Eye, and the ubiquitous Star Sea Aliens. These require us to establish our own cities."
"To establish a stable city, we must have a Dominator-level life form to preside over it. After we build the city, the Starry Sky Shark will become the symbol of the entire city. By not acting rashly and only maintaining the city's order, we can maintain a neutral image."
"Moreover, the Sword Bone City we flattened had some extra gains."
As he spoke, someone beside him laughed:
"That's true. Who would've thought that they had just finished mining an entire vein of Pure Yang Jade. So many ten-thousand-year-old Pure Yang Jade, all of it is ours now. This is one of the special resources that can be used for cruisers to upgrade into Deer Hunt Ships. In the future, the chances of our clan members upgrading to Deer Hunt Ships should increase significantly."
...
As soon as they returned to Dragon Abyss City, the core members began to discuss various topics, sharing their thoughts on this operation and future plans for the Vein.
After returning to Dragon Abyss Hall together, Song Shixing's orders were quickly issued.
"This operation has attracted the attention of multiple Dominators, including the Sun Sparrow Dominator and the Sword Slave Dominator. In the coming days, it's best to avoid going out. Let's wait for the situation to calm down before making any moves."
"Understood!"
"We obey the Ancestor's command!"
...
After leaving Dragon Abyss Hall, Song Chi was about to return to his residence. Although he didn't gain much from this external operation, he did not return empty-handed.
For example, he now had a whole bottle of Time Marrow Liquid with more than sixty drops. This bottle of Time Marrow Liquid was obtained from the treasury of a medium-sized civilization that they annihilated five days ago. Combined with the output from the Cultivation Secret Realm over the years, it was enough to enhance the Time Chess pieces to level 60.
At this moment, a call came from behind.
"Big Brother?"
Turning around, he saw that it was Song Yan who had called out to him. Song Chi's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was a bit surprised.
After five years and the recent month of coordinated action, Song Chi had gained a good understanding of his contemporary big brother.
This person was no ordinary man. He was about fifty years older than Song Chi, currently around three hundred and thirty years old. What was truly astonishing was that his Guidance Technique had reached the peak of the fifth rank, and his Flame Seed had also been promoted to the silver quality long ago.
Another astonishing fact that surprised Song Chi was that Song Yan had already mastered the Flame Law to perfection. He didn't know the exact level, and Heavy Pupil couldn't see it either, but these few points alone were enough to prove his terrifying abilities.
He knew that he had the Multiverse Bazaar as a golden finger, which allowed him to reach his current level in over two hundred years.
However, Song Chi had also heard Song Wujiang casually mention that Song Yan seemed to have obtained an extremely powerful alien civilization heritage during a second-rank exploration in a different star domain, which explained his current achievements. The details were still unclear.
"Big Brother, what's up?"
His mind raced with thoughts, but Song Chi's words were not slow, and he showed no sign of abnormality.
Song Yan didn't rush to answer but instead said:
"Don't be hasty. Let's go to my place first!"
The two of them arrived at Song Yan's home, and before Song Chi could speak, Song Yan had already activated a special isolation domain.
Just as Song Chi's heart tightened, Song Yan waved his hand lightly:
"Don't be nervous. I mainly want to prevent Ancestor Xing from interfering. After this operation, he definitely doesn't want us to go out rashly..."
Hearing this, Song Chi's heart stirred.
"Do you mean, you want to go out on a trip, Big Brother?"
Song Yan nodded.
Seeing Song Chi frown, he quickly continued:
"Let me finish..."
Song Chi fell silent, wanting to hear what Song Yan had in mind.
"Seventh Brother, are you interested in doing something big?"
Song Chi remained silent, just looking at Song Yan.
Seeing this, Song Yan coughed lightly and said, "It's like this. One million light-years east of Dragon Abyss City, there's an alien civilization called the Star Spirit Clan. They are an advanced civilization..."
As soon as Song Yan mentioned "advanced civilization," Song Chi's interest waned significantly.
With a Dominator-level life form and the accumulation of time, such civilizations often possessed some astonishing trump cards. Even with the Starry Sky Shark and the Bazaar Projection, there was still a certain probability of things going wrong, which Song Chi could not accept.
As if sensing Song Chi's thoughts, Song Yan spoke faster.
"Let me finish. First, the Star Spirit Clan's Dominator has only recently advanced to the seventh rank, so they're a newly promoted Dominator..."
At this point, Song Chi remained silent.
Holding the golden finger of the Multiverse Bazaar, a monthly income of fighting gold, his top priority was caution, and he didn't need to actively provoke other Sovereign beings for the time being.
Unless it was like the New Moon Matriarch, where a fellow Sovereign-level being jointly took action, the enemy unit was in a heavily injured state, and the entire process was carried out by the projection of the Bazaar.
However, the next sentence that Song Yan supplemented piqued his interest significantly.
"Secondly, the Star Spirit Clan is a race nurtured by a special stellar power. They have an innate high affinity for various stars and celestial bodies, especially those stars left over from the Multiverse Era."
Hearing this, Song Chi already understood his meaning:
"Big Brother, do you mean that the Star Spirit Clan has Neutron Star Remnants?"
Song Yan nodded quickly.
"Absolutely true, and not just one or two portions. According to the intelligence gathered by my spies, there should be more than three portions."
Before he could finish, Song Yan added:
"And besides the Neutron Star Remnants, there are also Black Hole Dense Stones!"
"Furthermore, this time it's not just the two of us taking action. I have two friends here who are extremely powerful. All we need is for the Starry Sky Shark to hold off the Star Spirit Sovereign for a moment, and we'll be able to complete the task!"
Song Chi fell into silence, weighing the pros and cons.
Using a single Multiverse Projection Token represented a Silver Artifact. In the end, would it be a profit or a loss?
The Multiverse Projection Token required a Silver Artifact, and according to Song Yan, there would be four people involved in the subsequent actions. All the gains would need to be divided equally, and whether they could even break even was a question.
After all, according to Song Yan, the Star Spirit Clan had not been promoted to the Seventh Rank for long, and their foundation was far inferior to that of a regular advanced civilization. Moreover, with a Seventh Rank Star Spirit Sovereign present, it would be impossible to take away all of their foundation. So, it was uncertain if they could obtain four Silver Artifacts.
After some hesitation, Song Chi finally decided to give it a try.
He wasn't doing this for any other reason but simply wanted to obtain the Neutron Star Remnants and some Black Hole Dense Stones from the hands of the Star Spirit Clan. These two things were quite rare, and if he had to search for them himself, who knew how long it would take.
Speaking of the Neutron Star Remnants, they were the key to upgrading the Neutron Star Core Armor to the Golden quality. Naturally, the more, the better and the faster.
"Alright, is the time set?"
Seeing Song Chi's agreement, Song Yan was quite pleased, and a noticeable smile appeared on his face.
"Good, with Elder Seven's participation, this matter is almost guaranteed. As for the specific time, my friend hasn't reminded me yet, but it should be within these few months!"
...
The two reached a consensus, and Song Chi didn't linger any longer. He quickly returned to his residence.
In the underground battleship summoning room, he took out the Time Marrow Liquid and enhanced the Time Chess component to level 60.
With this enhancement, the component's universal cooldown was further reduced, from 40% to 45%, but there wasn't much joy on Song Chi's face.
Compared to the Time Chess, he was more interested in the possible existence of the Time Chessboard. However, since he had obtained the second Time Chess from Pan Ying, he hadn't received any other effective results.
In the past few decades, he had explored the alien star domains numerous times, but he had never seen any hints on the territory of the Heavenly Destiny South Pointing Plate. In such a situation, how could he not feel frustrated?
"Fate, screw fate!"
Even with the Heavenly Destiny South Pointing Plate, a golden tracking component, it was difficult to find the existence of other Time Chess components. Relying on fate?
He muttered to himself, but Song Chi didn't think further. He recalled his battleship and made a trip to the Bazaar.
High above the Multiverse Bazaar, Song Chi sat atop the projection of the Starry Sky Throne, with the False Enlightenment Cushion beneath him. In front of him was a hidden trace of the Time Law, and with the assistance of his Heavy Pupil, he was fully comprehending the newly grasped Time Law.
Compared to the Space and Light Laws, which were already nearing completion, the Time Law, with only a 40% comprehension rate, was naturally much easier.
The sudden urge to comprehend the Law stemmed not only from his daily cultivation tasks but also from the stimulation he received from Song Yan.
A 300-year-old battleship captain, yet he had mastered the Fire Law to perfection and seemed to have made significant progress on the path to completion. This was no joke.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, several months had gone by.
On this day, Song Chi returned to the Dragon Spine Continent.
It wasn't because something had happened on the Dragon Spine Continent, but because the Shining Star Token placed there had received an @ message.
Originally, Song Chi thought someone was actively @ing him, but when he opened the star token group chat, he found that it wasn't the case.
"No. 3 'Corpse Dog': @ all members, there's a new Chaos Task in the tower. Those who are interested can log in and take a look!"
Scanning this message, Song Chi's eyebrows rose.
Chaos Task, as the name suggested, was a special task issued by the Shining Star Tower, with rewards including opportunities to comprehend the Chaos Stele.
Having already exhausted his chances to comprehend the Chaos Stele, Song Chi was naturally quite interested. With a turn of his thoughts, he soon logged into the Star Tower with a projection.
"Indeed, everyone is very interested in the Chaos Task!"
Seeing the crowd gathered in the Star Tower Hall, which was larger than any previous occasion, Song Chi muttered to himself.
As he stepped towards the Star Tower's task window, he quickly saw the top-pinned Chaos Task.
