Chapter 552: All is Prepared
Chapter 552: All is Prepared
In the White Raven Star Domain, the asteroid belt surrounding the White Raven Floating Land roared with the hum of countless engines, creating an especially noisy atmosphere as they extended for billions of kilometers, attached to the third-level White Raven Floating Land.
However, the residents of the White Raven Floating Land were already accustomed to this, as anyone living in such an environment for hundreds of years would likely become numb to it.
In the central area of the asteroid belt, hundreds of thousands of star mining ships were busy, constantly towing and extracting asteroids of considerable size, which were then transferred to a nearby large transport ship.
In the distance, a special starship slowly approached a kilometer-long cruiser.
"Sir, the new batch of asteroids has been loaded and unloaded. A thousand large transport starships are ready to depart at any time!"
In the starship's control room, Song Tienmin respectfully reported to a middle-aged man on the communication screen.
Despite both being from the Song Clan and appearing to be of similar middle-aged age, only he was aware of the vast gap between himself and the other party.
He was merely an ordinary, unawakened lower-level distant relative of the Song Clan, while the man before him, who seemed to be of the same age, was actually over four hundred years old. In fact, he was a direct descendant of his distant ancestor.
"Hmm!"
Song Lin responded softly, and in the next moment, his mind stirred.
Not far away, almost simultaneously, a voice echoed in the control rooms of a thousand large transport starships.
"All transport ships, follow my command and depart!"
After the order, a thousand transport ships carrying asteroids of various sizes activated their engines and followed Song Lin's cruiser towards the side, where a short-distance teleportation gateway stood.
Upon reaching the location of the short-distance teleportation gateway, the star gate was activated, and the thousand large transport ships quickly disappeared within the asteroid belt.
Song Tienmin's gaze lingered on the now-vanished thousand starships.
He had heard that these asteroids, batch after batch, were all being sent to the main branch of the family. From conversations with other clan members, he learned that a high-level life Floating Land under the main branch was about to advance, and this was a preparation for the diameter expansion after the Floating Land's promotion.
He also heard that once a Floating Land is promoted, the ensuing Energy Tide could benefit numerous Flame Ships and even assist in their promotion.
Song Tienmin had always been extremely envious of these rumors, but reality was cruel. No matter how much he admired and longed for these advancements, they had nothing to do with him, an ordinary, unawakened individual.
However, things were different now. Over the past two years, Song Tienmin had changed, transforming his admiration and envy into a strong sense of motivation.
"This trip should earn me a considerable contribution, enough to exchange for several batches of Tempering Fluid. Little Tianhao will be going to the main branch next year for his Flame Awakening. With this opportunity, I should be able to break through the 6th-level Guidance Technique to the 7th level, which has a high chance of awakening!"
...
In the outer starry sky of the White Raven Floating Land, as intense spatial fluctuations swept by, Song Lin appeared with a thousand large transport starships. Without further delay, the cruiser and the thousand large transport ships headed towards the distant horizon.
After passing through a mirage light curtain, a three-kilometer-long Deer Hunt Ship emerged in their field of view.
"Elder Xuanfeng!"
Inside the warship, Song Lin respectfully spoke.
"Go ahead!"
Upon receiving the order, Song Lin led the thousand large transport ships once again into the depths of the mirage space. Soon, a terrifyingly large spatial vortex channel appeared.
Having traveled through this route numerous times, Song Lin was not surprised. Together with the thousand large transport ships, they entered the spatial wormhole channel ahead.
In the Anchored Star Domain, on the Dragon Spine Continent, at Firefall Plain.
Within the large combined mirage space, numerous spatial wormholes were neatly arranged in the sky, and there were no fewer than dozens of them in sight.
From time to time, fleets would emerge from these wormholes, and upon landing, numerous waiting loading vehicles would approach to assist in unloading the asteroids from the transport ships.
This scene was not limited to the large combined mirage space; outside the Dragon Spine Continent, numerous Song Clan Flame Ship captains were also engaged in similar tasks.
After coordinating with the Internal Affairs Hall steward behind him, Song Lin eagerly piloted the warship out of the mirage space.
His face betrayed his excitement as he had just received a notification from the family's Deer Hunt Ship captain stationed there, informing him that he could temporarily halt the transport work.
As a cruiser captain who had lived for nearly four hundred years, Song Lin was not a naive newcomer. The moment he received this notification, he instantly understood its significance.
"The Dragon Spine Continent has completed all preparations for the promotion to a 7th-level Floating Land!"
There was no longer a need to collect Floating Land fragments or asteroids, indicating that the concentration of Floating Land fragments and asteroids around the Dragon Spine Continent was sufficient.
Although Song Lin had his suspicions, he was not entirely certain. Thinking about it, he activated the quantum communication ring on his hand.
"Grandpa, is the Dragon Spine Continent about to be promoted?"
Song Mingsong's reply was swift, but it was not in a private chat. Instead, it was in the core members' chat of the Tenth Direct Lineage.
"The family is indeed making every effort to promote the Dragon Spine Continent, but it won't be that fast. After the formal confirmation, I will notify you immediately. In the meantime, try not to initiate warship promotions, and this matter must not be publicized. It is also strictly forbidden to leave the Dragon Spine Continent for the time being."
"Understood!"
This kind of information was being discussed in many small circles within the Song Clan, and the family did not overly restrict it. At this point in time, it was no longer a secret, and even if outside forces wanted to take advantage of the situation, it was already too late.
...
At the Dragon Spine Sacred Mountain, within the Dragon Whale Hall, shrouded by the chaos fog, several figures gathered.
Song Wujiang, Song Shiyuan, Song Shixing, Song Xingru, Song Dingbang, Song Tianhao, Song Tianshu, Song Tianmang, Song Xungang, Song Chi, and Song Yan.
Four Dreadnought captains, seven battleship captains, including both the main and hidden lineages, and most importantly, all eleven of them were present in person, not as projections.
"Now that Little Chi has returned, it's time to officially launch the family's plan!"
In the center of the hall, Song Wujiang spoke first.
After he finished, Song Shixing followed up, "The Crimson Star Continent has confirmed four suitable core extraction points. Now, we need to decide how many people to send to assist in this extraction!"
"If we send too few, we might not be able to stop the large number of aliens attracted by the noise generated during the theft. But if we send too many, we'll have a shortage of high-level clansmen to guard places like Dragon Spine Continent, Dragon Abyss City, and Dragon Shark City!"
Upon hearing this, the hall fell silent for a moment, and no one spoke up.
It was indeed a difficult matter to resolve.
Logically, the more high-level forces they could mobilize, the better, as the success of acquiring even a trace of the Floating Land Primordial Core from the Crimson Star Continent was crucial for the Dragon Spine Continent's advancement.
The Dragon Spine Continent's ability to reach the Seventh Rank Floating Land was also crucial for the Sea Tamer Dragon Soaring's promotion to a Planet Destroyer, making it the most important matter at hand.
After a long silence, Song Chi finally spoke up, breaking the quiet.
"My suggestion is for all of us to go!"
His words caught the attention of the other ten people in the hall, and no one rushed to refute him. Instead, they waited for Song Chi's further explanation.
However, Song Chi's explanation was surprisingly simple.
"I can leave a Void Market Projection Token in each of these three places. Aside from the extremely low probability of a fire breaking out in the backyard right after our departure, even if something unexpected happens, the Marketplace Sovereign Projection can easily suppress it."
"On the contrary, as the Crimson Star Continent is an Eighth Rank Floating Land, the attempt to steal its Floating Land Primordial Core will undoubtedly cause a significant disturbance. We must be fully prepared!"
No one refuted his explanation, but Elder Song Wujiang asked a question.
"Chi, we'll leave a Void Market Projection Token in the Dragon Spine Continent, Dragon Abyss City, and Dragon Shark City. Plus, we'll need a spare one at our extraction point. Do you have enough Void Market Projection Tokens?"
Song Chi hesitated for a moment before nodding lightly.
"Don't worry, Elder!"
In fact, he only had three Void Market Projection Tokens in hand, with the other two in the hands of his wife Shen Youran and the Dark Night Elf Tribe. However, given the urgency of the situation, he had to temporarily retrieve the one from Shen Youran, trusting that she would understand.
"Good, since that's the case, there's nothing more to say. Everyone, go back and prepare well. We'll take action in a month!"
With Song Chi's confirmation, Song Wujiang quickly made the decision. He also asked Song Shixing a question:
"Shixing, how is the Shadow Vein Clan doing? Has the secret vault been opened to all clan members?"
This civilizational war would determine the fate of the Song Clan for the next ten thousand years. As soon as Song Chi conveyed the news of the war, the Shadow Vein Clan had also received instructions to prepare for battle.
As a significant piece of the Song Clan's overall strength, the Shadow Vein Clan would also closely follow the Song Clan's main lineage in participating in the civilizational war. This would give the Song Clan greater influence and autonomy in the subsequent wars, and Song Wujiang naturally wouldn't allow the Shadow Vein Clan to remain hidden.
Of course, all of this was based on the successful promotion of the Sea Tamer Dragon Soaring to a Planet Destroyer. Once the promotion was successful, the Song Clan would officially enter the ranks of the truly Eternal Titan Clans.
Even among the Flame Torch Human Galaxy Cluster, Eternal Titan Clans of this rank were at the pinnacle of the pyramid. No matter the threat, they had the confidence to say no. With this premise, there was no need to hide the existence of the Shadow Vein Clan.
After discussing this matter, as everyone prepared to leave, Song Chi took out a storage capsule containing over a hundred Blood Battle Monuments.
"These are special control-immune components I collected from the Star Tower. They will have a certain restraining effect on the Eight-Armed Serpent Demon."
These Blood Battle Monuments were not all that he had obtained in the Blood Battle Abyss; he had already taken out five red and ten orange ones beforehand.
One was given to Shen Youran, while the rest were left with the Tenth Direct Lineage for their loved ones.
After examining the detailed attributes of the Blood Battle Monuments, Song Wujiang and the others immediately recognized their terrifying value.
But as they were all family, no one expressed their gratitude, only keeping this favor in their hearts.
The key to the distribution was the three silver Blood Battle Monuments. Elder Song Wujiang and Ancestor Song Shiyuan each took one, which was not controversial. However, when it came to the last one, there was a slight disagreement.
According to the principle of hard work and merit, Song Shixing should be the one to receive it. However, Song Xingru was also a new Battleship Fleet Commander.
In the end, both of them declined and took a red Blood Battle Monument each, leaving the silver Blood Battle Monument to Song Yan on the side.
According to them, in terms of potential, Song Yan and Song Chi were undoubtedly the most deserving in the family for the past three thousand years. They were the key to the family's future rise, and it was most appropriate for Song Yan to receive it.
Song Wujiang also agreed with this.
After the three silver Blood Battle Monuments were distributed, the others each took a red Blood Battle Monument and then left.
...
Time passed, and a month went by in the blink of an eye.
Back in the Dragon Spine Sacred Mountain's Ancestral Hall, the eleven core members of the Song Clan gathered once again.
"Chi, how is it?"
"I've already given a Void Market Projection Token to Grandpa. If anything unexpected happens to the Dragon Spine Continent, we can summon him at any time!"
"Good, let's not delay. We'll set off immediately!"
A series of flashes of light filled the hall, and soon only Song Chi remained, while the others had entered the internal space of the Dimensional Space Stone.
Song Chi's thoughts shifted, and he quickly arrived at the Shadow Vein Clan's base in the Crimson Star Continent via the Void Market.
Previously, to collect the Time Chessboard, he had temporarily canceled the space anchor point in the City of Holy Light. Now, the only remaining anchor point in the Crimson Star Continent was in Dragon Abyss City.
Upon arriving at Dragon Abyss City, they didn't alert any clan members. The eleven of them directly left through the teleportation room in the West District of the Outer City.
In the warship's magnetic wave communication group chat, Song Shixing immediately took out an ultra-large Floating Land feng shui map.
This map was different from the two meticulously crafted maps the Shadow Vein Clan had made before. It was a full-scale Floating Land map of the Crimson Star Continent, an Eighth Rank Hyperdimensional Continent, and naturally couldn't be too detailed.
Pointing to the map, Song Shixing said, "The most suitable extraction point is located 80,000 light-years west of Dragon Abyss City in the Extreme Sun Desert. This is a giant desert spanning over a thousand light-years. Precisely because of its harsh environment, there are very few alien races in this area. Even if we make a lot of noise during the extraction, it's unlikely to attract too many aliens in a short time."
Scanning over the overall map of the Crimson Star Continent, both Song Wujiang and Song Shiyuan nodded in agreement.
"Good, let's go there!"
With everyone in agreement, the team set off again.
As they were all peak forces of the Song Clan, the warp devices on their warships were excellent, and the eleven of them traveled at an astonishing speed. Soon, they arrived at the Extreme Sun Desert.
