Chapter 544: Shigou's Assault on the Planet Destroyer
Chapter 544: Shigou's Assault on the Planet Destroyer
Inside the Heaven Ruin Skydome, Song Chi's figure appeared.
He only returned to the battleship after confirming that the Time Chessboard had completely transformed into a ship component and would no longer pose any threat to him.
Reaching out, he picked up the Time Chessboard and, after some thought, installed it onto the ship.
The enhancement of this component required a rare resource called Time Fragments, and it couldn't be strengthened at the moment. However, even at level 0, it provided a significant boost to both the Heaven Ruin Skydome and himself.
For instance, it increased the efficiency of his comprehension of the Time Law.
Additionally, there was another matter that required immediate attention.
...
In the Alien Expanse, within the Unknown Star Sea, there existed a vast continent with a diameter exceeding 200,000 light-years. At the heart of this continent, an Ancient Divine Mountain, laden with ancient prohibitions, stood like a divine pillar supporting the sky of an Eighth-Rank Floating Continent.
Suddenly, a slender silver light shot out from within the mountain, piercing through the mountain's exterior and soaring towards the starry sky.
"Stay and face my wrath!"
This sudden change reverberated a primordial sound throughout the mountain.
Immediately, a giant palm, over tens of thousands of kilometers long and surrounded by countless laws, extended from within the mountain, swiftly chasing after the fleeing silver light.
The laws of light and force, surpassing the ordinary perfect level, intertwined continuously, eventually forming a net of laws that enveloped the silver light.
The silver light's speed wasn't particularly fast, and it was soon caught in the net. Surprisingly, despite the net's power, infused with Eighth-Rank Dominator energy, the silver light managed to pass through it as if it didn't exist.
Witnessing this, the owner of the terrifying giant palm seemed to understand something. They slowly retracted their hand, no longer attempting to stop the silver light.
Similar scenarios were occurring in various star domains across the Star Sea, some in secluded corners unknown to any lifeforms. These silver lights rushed out, all converging towards the same destination.
However, not all silver lights successfully entered the starry sky.
In a Star Sea above a continent even larger than the one with the Ancient Divine Mountain, a silver light was firmly bound within a Blood Palace, unable to escape no matter how hard it tried.
In the main control room of the Heaven Ruin Skydome, Song Chi's gaze fixed on the Time Chessboard before him, his brows furrowing slightly in surprise.
"There's still a chess piece that hasn't returned?"
He had just activated the recall function of the component, assuming that with the Time Chessboard's Colored Mythical Grade, recalling all the chess pieces would be a certainty. But unexpectedly, one piece had failed to return.
"Could it be blocked by a Star Sea Oddity of the same Colored Mythical Grade as the Time Chessboard?"
As this thought crossed his mind, Song Chi's heart skipped a beat.
His first instinct was to locate the other party, but the Time Chessboard didn't display the coordinates of the missing chess piece, only a vague direction.
He attempted to bind the Time Chessboard with the Heaven Authority Control Ring, but no light point appeared on the star map either.
"Should I keep it?"
Song Chi hesitated, considering whether to retain the missing chess piece.
If it were indeed as he had speculated, with this vague directional guidance, he might have a chance to locate another Colored Mythical Oddity in the future. After all, with 359 chess pieces, one missing piece wouldn't make much difference.
However, after much deliberation, he dismissed the idea.
The reason was simple.
Even if the entity holding the chess piece wasn't of the same rank, what kind of being would it be if it were? Another fifth-rank lucky one like himself?
No, Song Chi didn't believe so. The odds were too slim. Instead, he suspected it might be an eighth-rank, ninth-rank, or even a more powerful entity.
If that were the case, keeping the chess piece would be like holding onto a ticking time bomb. If he could locate the Time Chessboard with the Heaven Authority Control Ring, couldn't those far more powerful entities do the same? If they found him unprepared, not only would the Heaven Ruin Skydome, currently a battleship, be in danger, but even if it were upgraded to a Planet Destroyer in the future, there was no guarantee of a safe retreat.
Additionally, even if he kept the chess piece, the other party might guess his intentions and set up a trap. What if they were waiting for him to walk into it? Considering all this, Song Chi manually controlled the Time Chessboard to shatter the chess piece.
This would delay its recovery by a year, but it ensured the safety of the Heaven Ruin Skydome and himself.
...
Deep within the Crimson Continent, in the heart of the Blood-Colored Hall, a giant figure covered in chaotic power stirred in a pool of blood, bubbling with scorching blood bubbles. Its blood-red eyes opened, but soon closed again, and it returned to its slumber.
……
Dragon Spine Continent, Green Moon Estate.
Upon returning to the Flame Torch Human Civilization Territory, Song Chi immediately took out the Shining Star Token.
Shining Star Token Chat Group:
"32 'Thunder Awaken': @All Members, mission accomplished perfectly. Thank you all so much."
"32 'Thunder Awaken': @White Eyebrow, Uncle Shigou, Miss Yulong, Xuepo... Are you guys free now?"
At the Shining Star Tower, in the Star Tower Hall.
"Uncle Shigou, here's your Yearbook. Thank you so much."
"Miss Yulong..."
He had already borrowed the Three-Eyed Spirit Ring from the family's inherited battleship chamber and safely removed all the components, and now he returned them all, while Miss Yulong handed over the Blood Spear to him.
Hmm... except for the Black Ultimate quality Time Platform.
It's not that this component couldn't be removed safely; although the Three-Eyed Spirit Ring couldn't affect Black quality components, he also had the Heavenly Destiny South Pointing Plate.
The main issue was that "White Eyebrow" wasn't online, and it seemed like he couldn't spare the time at the moment.
"This time, you've been a huge help. Thank you all. If you need anything in the future, just ask, and I'll do my best to help if I can!"
In the great hall, Song Chi once again expressed his sincere gratitude. Silver and Golden quality Time Artifacts, being able to lend such high-level components without asking for anything in return, was truly rare. If given the opportunity, he would definitely repay them in full.
However, Uncle Shigou and the others casually waved their hands, appearing unconcerned. Members of the Star Tower were like this; they would always lend a helping hand within their means.
At this moment, Uncle Shigou spoke up:
"By the way, after years of thorough preparation, I've decided to challenge the Planet Destroyer again. So, I probably won't be active in the group for a while. I wanted to let you know in advance."
Hearing this, everyone's eyes focused intently.
Uncle Shigou had already challenged the Planet Destroyer once before. That time, he succeeded in preserving his own ship by paying the price of two Golden Sacred Domain components. This time, that special component couldn't be used again, and if he failed, given Uncle Shigou's age, it was highly unlikely that he would have another chance to challenge for the position of a dreadnought captain.
Thinking of this, everyone's hearts felt heavy. After all, the identities of the Star Tower members were not simple, and they all understood the difficulty of challenging the Planet Destroyer.
Seeing the somber atmosphere, Uncle Shigou was about to speak up to break the tension, but Miss Yulong on the side beat him to it.
"Uncle Shigou, do you have Seventh-Rank Dominator Source Blood for this challenge? If not, I can..."
"I have a drop of Demon God Blood that has just entered the seventh rank..."
"A 50,000-year-old Golden Blood Phoenix Fruit can increase the success rate of a dreadnought challenging the Planet Destroyer by 1%."
For a moment, Tianlong Blood Soul and the others also spoke up, each offering resources they had that could be helpful in challenging the Planet Destroyer.
Not everyone was so generous and selfless. Although the relationship between the Star Tower members was good, resources that aided in challenging the Planet Destroyer weren't something to be given away freely, as they also affected their own future potential. It was impossible for them to contribute selflessly.
The reason for this was not only because the members of the Shining Star Tower had deep friendships, but also because Uncle Shigou's chances of success in his second challenge for the Planet Destroyer were not low. Once he succeeded, Uncle Shigou would become a powerful Planet Destroyer captain.
Therefore, the help they provided today would surely be repaid in the future, perhaps even tenfold.
As for Song Chi, he hesitated for a moment before taking out a white jade fruit from his body.
"Uncle Shigou, this is a Sixth-Rank Time Boundary Fruit. You should be able to use it!"
Upon hearing the words 'Time Boundary Fruit', not only Uncle Shigou but also all the members in the Star Tower Hall changed their expressions.
They had all heard of this legendary resource that could grant a battleship a second life.
"Thunder Awaken, you..."
Uncle Shigou wanted to say that it was too precious, but thinking of his upcoming second battleship promotion, he couldn't bring himself to say it.
In the end, he took the Sixth-Rank Time Boundary Fruit and said solemnly:
"Thunder Awaken, do you need anything? Components, Ascension Flame Sources, special resources, anything is fine."
Song Chi thought for a moment and then said,
"Uncle Shigou, do you have special resources like Time Fragments?"
"Time Fragments? Hold on a moment."
Hearing that Song Chi needed Time Fragments, Uncle Shigou quickly logged out.
As his figure disappeared from the Star Tower Hall, the gazes of Miss Yulong and the others turned to Song Chi.
In response, Song Chi had already prepared an answer.
"I once accidentally discovered a Sixth-Rank Time Boundary Tree in an alien expanse, but the production speed of this resource is too slow, and I don't have any more at the moment!"
He was well aware of the value of resources like the Time Boundary Fruit, and it was after careful consideration that he offered it.
Firstly, the most important thing was that while the Sixth-Rank Time Boundary Fruit was indeed precious, after Song Wujiang's ship successfully advanced, along with the Three-Eyed Clan Sovereign Flagship and the Starry Sky Dragon Shark, even if his identity was exposed in the future, he would still be able to protect a single Sixth-Rank Time Boundary Tree.
