Chapter 529: Dividing the Spoils
Chapter 529: Dividing the Spoils
In the Silver Gleam Plains, within the City of Holy Light.
As they returned to this giant neutral city, Song Chi and his three companions finally relaxed.
Over the past twenty-plus million years, countless Sovereign-level beings had visited this city, numbering at least eighty, but only twice had any dared to cause a disturbance. Both times, the offenders were swiftly suppressed by the mighty Angelic King.
It was said that the two Sovereign beings who had caused trouble were imprisoned in this city for a full ten thousand years before they were finally released.
With these two examples, it had been over a hundred thousand years since any other Sovereign-level being dared to cause trouble within the city.
City of Holy Light, North Street.
"Alright, this place is absolutely safe. Yan has also added an extra layer of isolation domain. Let's start sorting through our spoils!"
In a secret room within the house, Mirror Princess, whose body shimmered with diamond-like light, took the initiative to suggest.
Song Chi and the other two naturally had no objections, and soon, each of them took out a storage device and emptied its contents onto the floor.
Clatter!
In an instant, four small mountains of items piled up in the secret room, including various Star Sea artifacts, high-level materials, and more.
Among them, the most eye-catching was a shining golden Stellar Mirror Stone.
The four quickly sorted through the items and soon had a list of everything.
Golden Sacred Realm Artifact - 1 piece
Silver Legendary Artifacts - 4 pieces
Red Epic Artifacts - 24 pieces
Seventh Rank Floating Land Essence - 95 strands
...
Chaos Energy - 1 strand
Black Hole Dense Stones - 120 pieces
Neutron Star Remnants - 3 portions
Antimatter Core - 1 portion
Star Core Stone - 25 kg
...
The golden artifact needed no further explanation. Among the four silver artifacts, besides the one Song Chi valued, the Crimson Horizon Warp Device, the other three included two that could be transformed into ship components: a Star Core Giant Statue Tree and a Starlight Origin Ship Hull Armor.
The silver artifact that couldn't be transformed was the Stellar Iron.
After sorting through all the spoils, Song Chi and the other two remained silent, as expected. It was likely that Mirror Princess and Mirror Lake would speak first.
Sure enough, after a few seconds, Mirror Princess spoke with a hint of pleading:
"Yan, Chi, I'm sorry. Our contribution this time wasn't significant, and although we feel a bit embarrassed, we still want to claim this Stellar Mirror Stone. It's extremely important to us."
Song Chi and Song Yan remained silent, and Mirror Princess continued:
"As compensation, we won't participate in the distribution of the other spoils, and additionally..."
"We will also offer a silver-quality Flame Seed artifact. Remember, Yan mentioned wanting to purchase silver-quality Flame Seeds at a high price!"
As she spoke, she took out the silver-quality Flame Seed artifact.
Song Chi and Song Yan immediately turned their attention to it.
Artifact: Star Core Origin Flame
Quality: Silver
Transformation: {Flame Seed Upgrade Fire Source}
Note: A Flame Seed artifact nurtured within a fifth-rank Floating Land core for countless years, it holds significant value.
Seeing that it could be transformed into an Upgrade Fire Source, Song Chi and Song Yan exchanged glances, both seeing the joy in each other's eyes.
Although they had no personal use for it, the ancient ancestor of their clan desperately needed this silver-quality Upgrade Fire Source.
The silver-quality Flame Seed they had obtained from the Flame Crow Mountains had already been used by Song Shixing, and now the Flame Seed of Xingxing Xingru had successfully evolved into a silver-quality one, causing multiple components of the Sea Anchor Soaring Dragon to be enhanced to the seventh rank, significantly boosting its combat power.
However, besides Song Shixing, Song Xingru on the Dragon Spine Continent still had a red-quality Flame Seed. This silver-quality Star Core Origin Flame was just right for her.
"Agreed!"
The two naturally wouldn't refuse. In the eyes of the Fireseed Captain, a silver-quality Upgrade Fire Source was indeed comparable to a more ordinary golden-quality component, let alone the fact that the Stellar Mirror Stone couldn't be transformed into a ship component. Strictly speaking, they had come out on top.
After putting away the Star Core Origin Flame, Song Chi and the other two began the further distribution.
The distribution of the spoils, excluding the four silver artifacts, was straightforward. Song Chi obtained the Antimatter Core, three portions of Neutron Star Remnants, 60 Black Hole Dense Stones, 50 strands of Seventh Rank Floating Land Essence, and more.
Song Chi was extremely satisfied with this distribution, and Song Yan seemed to feel the same.
When it came to the last four silver artifacts, Song Chi took the lead and claimed the Crimson Horizon Warp Device.
"Since Old Seven prefers the Warp Device, I'll take the Star Core Giant Statue Tree!"
Seeing this, Song Chi's expression remained unchanged. Although he also desired the silver-quality statue component, it was clear that the Crimson Horizon Warp Device was more valuable.
The most important of all, the last two items, Song Chi and Song Yan, had their own plans.
The ship's armor and an untranslatable artifact were not what they needed, so Song Chi took the initiative to claim the Star Iron and gave the Origin Starlight Energy Shield to Song Yan.
The Star Iron could be used as a high-level exchange artifact in the Artifact Exchange Shop or as a charging artifact for the Bazaar Projection Token in the future.
...
The next day, after the distribution of the loot was completed, Mirror Princess and Mirror Lake did not plan to stay in the City of Holy Light for long. Having successfully obtained the Stellar Mirror Stone, they were eager to return to their tribe to craft their Primordial Illusory Mirror.
Mirror Princess had already advanced to the Sixth Rank several decades ago, and Mirror Lake was at the peak of the Fifth Rank. The earlier they crafted their Primordial Illusory Mirror, the better, so the two of them directly bid farewell to Song Chi and Song Yan.
After Mirror Princess and Mirror Lake left, Song Yan quickly spoke up, "Old Seven, what do you mean?"
Song Chi shook his head.
"Big Brother, I'll send you back to Dragon Abyss City, but I want to stay in the City of Holy Light for a while longer."
With the three newly acquired Neutron Star Remnants, the promotion progress of the Neutron Star Core Armor reached 8/10, and it was not far from completely advancing to the Golden Ship Hull Armor. The City of Holy Light was large enough, and he wanted to see if he could acquire two more Neutron Star Remnants here.
Additionally, he needed to search for an artifact with the trait 'Doubles the effective range' in this bustling City of Holy Light, where the chances of finding it were much higher.
Although Song Yan didn't know why Song Chi wanted to stay in the City of Holy Light, he didn't ask further.
He followed Song Chi onto the Heaven Ruin Skydome and waited until the warship's cabin door closed completely. Then, Song Chi took out the Dimensional Space Stone artifact and, after sending Song Yan into the dimensional space, quickly returned to Dragon Abyss City via the Multiverse Bazaar.
When he first arrived in Dragon Abyss City, Song Chi had set up a spatial anchor point in the city, making his return trip extremely convenient.
Dragon Abyss City, Dragon Abyss Hall.
Song Chi suddenly appeared and summoned Song Yan from the Dimensional Space Stone. Seeing that he had instantly returned from the City of Holy Light, which was tens of thousands of light-years away, Song Yan couldn't help but marvel, even though he had known this fact.
After a moment of hesitation, Song Yan organized his thoughts and asked tentatively, "Old Seven, I don't have any other intentions. If it's difficult to answer, you can ignore me."
Song Chi didn't speak, waiting for Song Yan to continue.
"Are there any restrictions on your special round-trip ability?"
Song Chi didn't quite understand Song Yan's intention, but out of trust, he answered honestly, "Currently, the highest rank for entering and exiting biological entities is Fifth Rank!"
"Is that so... Then it seems it's not possible for now!"
Hearing Song Yan's words, Song Chi shook his head. When he saw the confusion in Song Chi's eyes, Song Yan explained, "I have a site of an extremely high-level civilization, but it's filled with extreme flame energy. Ordinary beings can't enter at all, and Fifth Rank lifeforms would likely melt as soon as they step inside."
Upon hearing this secret, Song Chi's eyes lit up with considerable interest.
He remembered that the Elder had once said that their eldest brother had obtained the inheritance of an advanced civilization. Therefore, he instinctively believed that this high-level relic filled with fire attribute energy was very likely related to the civilization that Song Yan had inherited.
Thinking about it, he suddenly asked, "What about the Starry Sky Shark? Can a sovereign lifeform withstand that flame?"
Song Yan quickly shook his head.
"If it's a fire attribute sovereign being, it might be worth a try, but the Starry Sky Shark won't do. That relic site is not small!"
Song Chi wanted to say something more, but at that moment, Song Shixing and Song Yao walked in.
Hearing that Song Chi would be staying in the City of Holy Light for a while, Song Shixing took out 50 strands of Seventh Rank Floating Land Essence and handed them directly to Song Chi.
Song Chi: ???
"Little Chi, since you're going to stay in the City of Holy Light for a while, help us keep an eye out for 'Chaos Energy' resources. If you come across it, be sure to buy it."
Hearing the words 'Chaos Energy,' Song Chi and Song Yan instantly understood.
Taking the 50 strands of Seventh Rank Floating Land Essence, Song Chi also took out the strand of Chaos Energy he had obtained from the Star Spirit Treasury.
Seeing this strand of Chaos Energy, Song Shixing and Song Yao couldn't hide their delight.
"Elder Xing and Elder Yao, is the family preparing to fully repair the Dragon Whale Hall?"
Seeing Song Shixing nod, Song Chi was also delighted. He had always supported the repair of the Dragon Whale Hall.
Without further ado, just the "Heart Hall" effect of the 【Dragon Whale Hall】 has already played a crucial role multiple times.
And this is still the black ultimate quality 【Dragon Whale Hall】. If the third stage of restoration can be completed, the 【Dragon Whale Hall】 may evolve to the colored mythic quality, and its protection of the mind will surely take another step forward.
However, while he was happy, Song Chi was well aware that this was not something that could be achieved overnight. The third restoration of the 【Dragon Whale Hall】 required a hundred strands of chaos energy, and even with the combined efforts of the entire Song family for nearly a hundred years, they had only collected over ten strands, leaving a huge gap.
It's easy to imagine that it will take at least several hundred years, or even a thousand years, to finally gather these hundred strands of chaos energy.
"Let's work together. Recently, the External Affairs Department of the Vein has collected another piece of information related to chaos energy. After the impact of this action completely subsides, we will launch the second round of operations."
At this point, Song Chi asked again:
"Speaking of the base, how is the family's plan to build a city going?"
"Currently, we have identified three locations for the city. The first is the Black Thorn Mountain Range, three thousand light-years west, where more than a hundred civilizations have gathered, and there are no less than five civilizations with a Sovereign in residence. However, the number of alien groups is enormous, and there are no giant-level (eighth-level) civilizations."
"The second location is the North Pole Ice Plain, seven thousand light-years to the north. There are many low-level alien civilizations here, although the quality is a bit lacking, but the advantage is that there are no advanced civilizations, making it safe enough!"
"The third location is the Shattered Sea, more than five thousand light-years south. It's very chaotic there, but alien races are clustered. If we want to build a city there, your Starry Sky Dragon Shark will have to guard the city for a long time!"
...
After hearing these three options, Song Chi fell into deep thought.
"Brother Xing, what do you think?"
Song Shixing glanced at Song Yao beside him and then spoke honestly:
"Both Yao and I are more inclined to the Shattered Sea in the south. Although it's chaotic, it also represents a great business opportunity. The Shattered Sea stretches for over a hundred light-years, not only producing high-year deep-sea pearls, but also a special kind of fire carp. Long-term consumption can promote the Flame Seed. Although it only works for colorless and white flame seeds, as long as we can completely control the acquisition channels, it will become a great foundation for our Song family!"
After speaking, the two looked at Song Chi, as this was only what they had in mind, but the key still lay with Song Chi.
If the city was to be built on the coast of the Shattered Sea, the Starry Sky Dragon Shark would have to stay there for a long time.
However, Song Chi did not hesitate. He simply nodded.
"Since the Shattered Sea is the optimal location, let's build the city there. I don't have a problem with that."
This was not against his will. In fact, he didn't value the Starry Sky Dragon Shark too much.
If the Otherworldly Bazaar didn't have the 【Bazaar Projection Token】, he might be reluctant, but now that there is the means of Sovereign Projection, when the Bazaar is promoted to the sixth rank, the Sovereign position will most likely be raised to the eighth rank, and the projection's combat power will directly reach the seventh-rank peak or even quasi-eighth rank.
And the Starry Sky Dragon Shark, which is not even a Star Beast, cannot defeat the Star Spirit Sovereign who has just advanced to the seventh rank. Song Chi was not too concerned about it.
Of course, his real intention was to try to enslave the Black Devouring Beast over a hundred years later. As a seventh-rank Star Beast, the Black Devouring Beast was much stronger than the Starry Sky Dragon Shark.
"Good, since Little Chi has no objections, then it's settled. However, as a reward for occupying the Starry Sky Dragon Shark, you will receive one-tenth of the annual revenue from the family city built on the Shattered Sea in the future!"
Upon hearing this, Song Chi's mood lifted.
It's worth knowing that the family was going to establish a seventh-rank neutral city, and the annual revenue would be astonishing. One-tenth of it was not a small amount.
"Since the Elder has spoken, I cannot refuse!"
No one would complain about having more money, and Song Chi readily agreed.
"Okay, the Vein will soon produce a detailed city construction plan. It's expected that within these few years, the construction of the city will officially begin."
Song Shixing's voice carried excitement, as this was a momentous event for the entire Vein, including the whole family.
After confirming this, Song Chi returned to the 【Radiant City】 and brought the miniature Starry Sky Dragon Shark back to Dragon Abyss City. Only then did he set off for the 【Radiant City】 alone.
In the warship docking area of the City of Holy Light, inside the Heaven Ruin Skydome.
After fusing the three neutron star remnants with the 【Neutron Star Core Armor】, Song Chi took out the antimatter core.
