Chapter 543: Obtaining the Time Chessboard, Detailed Classification of Colored Mythical Quality
Bright Star Order Chat Group
"No. 32 'Thunder Awaken': My time resistance is still insufficient, and it's really uncomfortable!"
"No. 18 'Xuepo': Huh? Are you facing off against an eighth-rank Time Sovereign? Even with so many time components, it's not enough?"
"No. 32 'Thunder Awaken': No, I'm entering a time field with an extremely high level."
"No. 32 'Thunder Awaken': @No. 17 'Yulong', Sister Yulong, does our Grandmaster have any other methods?"
"No. 17 'Yulong': Let's discuss it in the Star Tower."
...
"Pawn and reward? Can I use a golden artifact that cannot be transformed into a ship-mounted component? If not, I can offer a golden super main cannon as an alternative."
After hearing Yulong's proposal, Song Chi was a bit hesitant about the conditions set by the Changsun Clan's Grandmaster.
The collateral was not a problem; there were many golden components on the Heaven Ruin Skydome, and there were also several golden artifacts in the Void Market Artifact Exchange Shop that could be used as collateral.
The key issue was the reward. He was unsure what he should offer as a reward for borrowing a golden time artifact.
Seeing Cui Yulong nodding in agreement, confirming that the 'Spear of Fresh Blood' could be used as collateral, Song Chi spoke again, "As for the reward, I can offer a 6th-rank Silver Apple, a silver energy shield..."
"Is there anything else?" Cui Yulong asked softly.
Upon hearing this, Song Chi immediately understood.
Cui Yulong thought that the rewards mentioned above might not be enough to impress the 8th-rank Grandmaster of the Changsun Clan.
Although he was reluctant, thinking that all this was for obtaining a colored mythical-grade artifact, Song Chi quickly made a decision.
"Sister Yulong, how about a 6th-rank Moon Spring?"
With the offer of the 6th-rank Moon Spring, Cui Yulong finally nodded lightly.
"This should be fine. I'll wait for my sister's message."
...
A few minutes later, another spatial fluctuation emerged from the login stone platform in the main hall of the Star Tower, and Song Chi thought it was Cui Yulong logging in again. However, when he looked closely, he realized it was not her.
"White Eyebrow, here to take on a task?"
Stepping down from the login stone platform, White Eyebrow, with her usual cold demeanor, shook her head. Then, her calm voice sounded.
"Do you still need high-level time components?"
Song Chi's eyes lit up, and he quickly nodded.
Even if the Changsun Clan's Grandmaster agreed to lend it, it didn't guarantee that the Heaven Ruin Skydome would be able to obtain the 'Time Chessboard' with just one additional golden time component. Higher time resistance was naturally more secure.
Under his expectant gaze, White Eyebrow's eyebrows glowed with a faint light, and soon a component emitting black light was delivered into Song Chi's hands.
After completing the transaction, White Eyebrow did not linger and directly turned to leave the login platform.
Time Platform lv70
Quality: Black
Feature: Time Cultivation Platform
Feature 2: Time Resistance +9800
...
"White Eyebrow, wait..."
Song Chi started to say something, but his words were cut off as he watched White Eyebrow's figure slowly disappear.
Seeing her leave without hesitation, Song Chi's eyelids twitched involuntarily, and he thought to himself, "Sister, I know you're rich, but this is a black ultimate component, and it's a time-attributed one. Couldn't you at least give me some instructions? Do you have to be so extravagant?"
Of course, while his thoughts wandered a bit, Song Chi felt a warm feeling in his heart.
Being able to do this also fully represented the trust that 'White Eyebrow' had in him, didn't it?
As he was thinking about this, 'Yulong' logged in again, bringing good news. The Changsun Clan's Grandmaster had agreed.
The next day, Song Chi reappeared in the time field of the alien star domain, and this time, he spent even longer summoning the Heaven Ruin Skydome and the Void Market's Purple Mist Projection.
Once both were summoned, the time-slowing effect within the battleship was significantly reduced, even more so than the previous time.
After this, the Heaven Ruin Skydome did not slowly glide but instead activated the 'Angel Feather Glide' feature through the Skyward AI.
With three golden time components, one black time component, multiple silver and red components, and the protection of the Void Market's Purple Mist Projection, which was almost at the eighth rank, Song Chi was confident that the Heaven Ruin Skydome would not encounter any uncontrollable situations.
After this warp, the Heaven Ruin Skydome directly warped to the colorful light point indicated on the Heaven Authority Control Ring's star map.
As the battleship finally burst out of the warp tunnel, Song Chi's gaze, through the perspective of his ethereal body, fell on the item quietly floating in the starry sky ahead.
This is a rectangular white jade chessboard, emitting a dazzling, vibrant rainbow of light.
All the temporal power that permeates the surrounding starry skies emanates from it.
It is like an eternal, unchanging time treasure, an irreplaceable source of time no matter where one is.
In the Void Market Skydome, Song Chi's eyes burned with intensity as he gazed upon the white jade chessboard and the radiant, multicolored light it continuously emitted. At that moment, he knew all his previous speculations were correct.
The very center of this temporal field was not only the main body of the Time Chessboard, but the Time Chessboard itself was indeed a Colored Mythical quality Star Sea Oddity.
Without further thought, the purple mist projection that enveloped the Heaven Ruin Skydome began to tremble violently. As the purple mist energy surged, it quickly transformed into a giant purple mist hand, reaching out and grasping the white jade chessboard.
Under the counteraction of the temporal power, the purple mist hand moved forward slowly. Fortunately, the Heaven Ruin Skydome was close enough to the Time Chessboard, and soon the purple mist hand successfully grasped it.
Under Song Chi's control, the purple mist hand began to slowly retract, bringing the Time Chessboard with it.
A hissing sound filled the air as the hatch of the Heaven Ruin Skydome opened. Finally, the white jade chessboard, radiating with vibrant colors, was pushed into the interior of the battleship by the purple mist hand.
"Is that it? Did we succeed?"
Even after the hatch of the Heaven Ruin Skydome closed, Song Chi, within the Multiverse Ruins Market, still felt a strong sense of unreality, as if his perception might have been flawed.
He never imagined that the final collection process would be so smooth, almost unbelievable.
However, upon further reflection, it seemed quite reasonable.
The temporal power emitted by the Time Chessboard was truly terrifying. If not for Song Chi, who possessed the Star Sea Market Token and the Shining Star Token, who else would have the ability to break through such a terrifying temporal field and reach the Time Chessboard? Even an eighth-rank Star Sea Dominator specializing in time laws would struggle! Since the most difficult and seemingly impossible task had been accomplished, the rest naturally fell into place.
As the Time Chessboard was stored within the battleship, the formidable temporal power from the outside world rapidly diminished, indicating that the Time Chessboard had indeed been secured aboard the Heaven Ruin Skydome.
Song Chi didn't dare return to the battleship directly. Instead, he used his ethereal body to observe the white jade chessboard that had been stored in the cargo hold.
He feared that even after being stored in the battleship, this exceptionally high-quality time oddity would continue to release its temporal power without restraint.
However, his concerns were unfounded.
Within the cargo hold of the Heaven Ruin Skydome, the battleship's hull began to exude a large amount of shadow energy, which continuously converged upon the white jade chessboard—a sign of the shadow energy autonomously transforming the Star Sea oddity.
At a certain moment, when a strand of obscure shadow energy merged with the white jade chessboard, the temporal power within the entire battleship suddenly dissipated.
The ethereal body regained its mobility.
Under Song Chi's control, the ethereal body slowly approached the white jade chessboard, and strands of shadow energy emerged from within, quickly making contact with the chessboard.
At the same time, an attribute panel appeared before Song Chi in the Void Market.
[Oddity: Time Chessboard]
[Quality: Colored/Upper]
[Transformable: {Time Chessboard}]
[Note: In the Multiverse Era, this was an extremely renowned time treasure. After the Multiverse shattered, it underwent a long period of refinement, eventually becoming a Colored Mythical oddity.]
In that instant, Song Chi's breath caught in his throat.
After a long while, as he regained his composure, his eyes shone with intense brilliance.
"A Colored Upper-rank Oddity!"
As far as he knew, Colored Mythical quality oddities were divided into three ranks: Colored Lower, Colored Upper, and Colored Ultimate.
The first Colored oddity he encountered was the Civilization Great Wall, where the Shining Star Tower was located. If he remembered correctly, even the Civilization Great Wall was merely the lowest-ranked Colored Lower Mythical oddity.
In other words, the Time Chessboard before him was one rank higher in quality than the Civilization Great Wall.
This fact alone was enough to excite anyone.
As for its ability to be transformed into a ship component, this was not surprising. After all, this was evident from the initial Time Chess component's attribute description.
Suppressing his excitement, Song Chi's gaze shifted back to the Time Chessboard's ship component attribute panel.
Time Chessboard lv0
Quality: Colored/Upper
Feature: Reduces cooldown time for all ship components by 35%
Feature 2: Time Resistance +1600
Feature 3: Time Chessman
Feature 4: Time Chessboard
Feature 5: Time Chess Game
Feature 6: Time Prison
Feature 7: Increases the efficiency of comprehending time laws within the ship by 230%
Feature 8: Nine Lives Death Chess
Consumption: 200/s (Shadow Energy Points)
No charge or buffer required
Effect: When equipped on a ship, it will be immune to over 99% of external time energy influences.
Upgrade Requirements: 200 strands of Floating Land Primordial (Zero-Tier), 20,000 Shadow Energy Points, and 5 Time Fragments.
Note: This component will occupy 20 slot positions.
{Time Chessman: The Time Chessboard possesses 361 chess pieces, each imbued with immense temporal power and extraordinary abilities. If a chess piece is damaged or destroyed, the Time Chessboard will automatically generate a new piece every year (currently, there are 361 pieces scattered outside, which can be recalled at will).}
{Time Chessboard: Consumes a specified number of Time Chessmen (a minimum of 36) and Shadow Energy Points (the consumption of Shadow Energy Points varies based on the number of Time Chessmen used) to condense a Time Chessboard in the sky. All non-friendly units within the chessboard's area will be affected by the board's temporal acceleration or deceleration effect (the specific time multiplier depends on the number of Time Chessmen used: 10x for 36 pieces, 20x for 72 pieces, and so on). The effect lasts for 10 minutes with a cooldown of 720 hours.}
{Time Game: Consumes 300,000 Shadow Energy Points to pull a designated unit with a life rank not exceeding the component's enhancement rank and the battleship itself into a high-dimensional chess game space. Enemy units entering the high-dimensional chess game space will have their strength forcibly weakened by one major rank. The effect lasts for one hour with a cooldown of 100 years.}
{Time Prison: Consumes a specified number of Time Chessmen (a minimum of 36) and Shadow Energy Points to seal a designated unit not exceeding the component's enhancement rank into a time-stagnant prison. The duration of the prison depends on the number of Time Chessmen used (36 Time Chessmen can last for a millennium, 72 pieces for two millennia, and so on). Note: Outsiders cannot inflict any damage on the sealed creature within the Time Prison.}
{Nine Lives Death Chess: The 361st chess piece on the Time Chessboard is a special Nine Lives Chess, which seals within it an immense power of life and death. This power can be used to absolutely resurrect or annihilate a designated target (the target's life rank must not exceed the component's enhancement rank). However, each activation will cause the Death Chess to shatter a portion, and after nine activations, it will completely shatter, transforming into an entirely new random trait.}
The attributes of this component are so numerous that it's almost exaggerated.
However, after reading through the entire description, Song Chi had already cast these concerns aside.
"So, this is a Colored Mythical Artifact? It's truly incredible!"
Undoubtedly, the attributes of this Time Chessboard component are astonishing.
Aside from the fact that, once equipped, the battleship will be unaffected by nine out of ten temporal energies, each of its traits is more impressive than the last.
What does a 35% universal cooldown reduction at the initial stage mean? It implies that once this component is enhanced to the seventh rank, the cooldown reduction will soar to 70%.
This applies to all components equipped on the battleship, and if it's enhanced to its limit in the future, its cooldown reduction will reach a staggering 90%.
Next is the 'Time Chessboard' trait, which is far more potent than the 'Lotus Time Realm' and has a much shorter cooldown.
As for the 'Time Game' and 'Time Prison', there's no need for further explanation. Forcing a major rank reduction in the enemy's strength and sealing them for up to ten thousand years—each of these effects is awe-inspiring.
Moreover, Song Chi thought of another way to use the 'Time Prison' trait. For instance, if a loved one is severely injured or nearing the end of their lifespan, they can be sealed in this manner, and the seal can be voluntarily lifted when a solution is found.
The most exaggerated trait is the final one, 'Nine Lives Death Chess'. This trait is equivalent to Song Chi having nine chances to modify the Book of Life and Death. It can be used to directly annihilate a designated enemy or to resurrect himself and the Heaven Ruin Skydome.
This is far superior to the Time Boundary Fruit, which can only be used during battleship promotions, and is truly nine lives.
Phew!
Song Chi exhaled, his eyes gleaming with unconcealed joy.
In the face of these awe-inspiring traits, the component's requirement of occupying 20 slot positions was instinctively overlooked by Song Chi.
What are 20 slot positions compared to these incredible traits?
PS: Well, does it live up to the name of a Colored Mythical Artifact?
