Chapter 558: The Morningstar Kingdom's Second Planet Destroyer
Chapter 558: The Morningstar Kingdom's Second Planet Destroyer
Inside the Bazaar's Exotic Exchange Shop, a 5th Rank Night Elf stood respectfully, holding the same three items it had five years ago.
Its heart was filled with apprehension, unsure if the Bazaar Lord was satisfied with its offerings, as it had yet to receive a response.
However, Song Chi's attention was elsewhere, focused entirely on Kongling.
Deep within the earth's core, the Sea-Taming Dragon Soaring, suspended above the Floating Continent's Primordial Core, trembled violently. The shadow energy enveloping the warship continuously absorbed the tidal energy emanating from the core, capturing nearly a third of the immense energy.
This was the reason why the Sea-Taming Dragon Soaring could increase its chances of promotion to a Planet Destroyer by over 10% in one go.
Under the intense gaze of four pairs of eyes, the Sea-Taming Dragon Soaring suddenly trembled violently, and the shadow energy covering its hull began to dissipate rapidly.
However, the expansion of the warship's body was nowhere to be seen, and just as they were about to conclude that the Sea-Taming Dragon Soaring's first promotion attempt had failed, the warship hovering above the Floating Continent's Primordial Core began to swell silently.
"It's a success, and in one go!"
"Hahaha! Today, the Song Clan has reason to celebrate!"
...
The deafening laughter echoed from within the Sea-Calming Dragon Ascension, but it didn't sound harsh to anyone's ears.
On the contrary, everyone present was filled with excitement.
The successful promotion of the Sea-Taming Dragon Soaring not only meant the birth of a new Planet Destroyer but also symbolized the Song Clan's rightful entry into the ranks of the immortal aristocratic families, without the prefix "quasi" that had always been attached to them.
The immortal aristocratic families were not only influential within the Flame Torch Human Civilization but were also considered top-tier throughout the entire Shattered Star Sea.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Song Clan could thrive for tens of thousands, or even a hundred thousand years, with this achievement alone.
This was a momentous event for any power.
Moreover, the Sea-Taming Dragon Soaring had achieved its promotion to a Planet Destroyer in one go and without using the 6th Rank Time Domain Fruit, leaving open the possibility of challenging the Star River Warship in the future.
...
In the Bazaar, after the initial excitement, Song Chi refocused his attention on the Exotic Exchange Shop.
"I'll take this snake scale, but... the Eternal Night Gem is a component of a black supreme exotic, and a single exotic of the same rank is not enough."
Finally, the 5th Rank Night Elf received a response and breathed a sigh of relief.
As for Song Chi's specific reply, it didn't matter to the Night Elf, as the New Moon Matriarch and the Moon Goddess had anticipated this situation.
The 5th Rank Night Elf gently tapped its storage necklace again, and two more orbs of light appeared in its hand.
"Sir, these are 20 portions of Sovereign True Spirit and 10 strands of 8th Rank Floating Continent Origin. The Moon Goddess has indicated that you may choose either one!"
Song Chi was not surprised by their preparation, as the Eternal Night Gem was part of the black crown exotic, a fact both parties were well aware of. It would be foolish to expect an equivalent exchange for this gem.
After a moment of contemplation, Song Chi chose the 20 portions of Sovereign True Spirit.
It wasn't that the 8th Rank Floating Continent Origin was not valuable, but he urgently needed the Sovereign True Spirit at the moment.
To enhance a component to the 8th Rank (lv80) required only one strand of 8th Rank Floating Continent Origin, and he already had ten strands in his possession. With the Flame Torch Seed upgraded to gold, he could enhance ten components to the 8th Rank, which was sufficient.
In comparison, enhancing each golden component to the 8th Rank required a minimum of ten portions of Sovereign True Spirit. Despite having 22 portions in hand and the potential to refine more from the Black Devouring Beast's corpse, it was still far from enough.
With the completion of this transaction, Song Chi successfully obtained 20 portions of Sovereign True Spirit and the Mundane World Python Scale, while the 5th Rank Night Elf left the Bazaar with the Eternal Night Gem.
A day later, after the Bazaar transaction officially ended, Song Chi returned to the outside world.
In the earth's core space, Song Wujiang, Song Shixing, and Song Yan were still present, but Song Xingru and Tian Hao had not joined them. They had gone beyond the Floating Continent to assist Song Shiyuan, facing off against representatives from other families with ill intentions.
In the main control room of the Heaven Ruin Skydome, Song Chi's gaze was fixed on the Sea-Taming Dragon Soaring since his return from the Bazaar.
After a 24-hour buffer period, the Sea-Taming Dragon Soaring had successfully transformed into a Planet Destroyer with a length of over 10,000 kilometers.
Seeing that the warship's promotion was complete, Song Wujiang spoke up in the main control room, "Shixing, Yan, Chi, you three stay here. I'll go and meet our Lord Rota!"
As he finished speaking, the Sea-Taming Dragon Soaring transformed into a ray of light and entered Song Wujiang's forehead, who had just left the warship. Then, enveloped in shadow energy, he soared upwards towards the Abyssal Crater Entrance.
Although the earth's core space had been constructed large enough to accommodate a Planet Destroyer of over 10,000 kilometers in length, the diameter of the Abyssal Crater Entrance connecting the surface was not as spacious. Song Wujiang had no choice but to return to the surface first.
Regarding Song Wujiang's instructions, Song Chi and the other two did not object, as they could all guess his intention.
It was merely a matter of not wanting to expose their full strength to outsiders too soon.
Currently, the Song Clan had openly displayed one Planet Destroyer and two Dreadnoughts, an already impressive show of force. If three more Dreadnoughts were to appear all at once, it would cause unease among the various powers of the Morningstar Kingdom.
If it were just that, it might not be too bad, but the fear was that these external forces, upon seeing the sudden appearance of five Dreadnoughts, might jump to wild conclusions.
Although it was estimated that the Flame Torch Empire would publicly announce the start of the total civilization war in the next three or four decades, this was a River System-level civilization war, and the significance of a 30 to 40-year head start in preparations was entirely different.
"Chi..."
After Song Wujiang left, Song Shixing and Song Yan immediately approached.
The three exchanged glances, and Song Chi immediately understood Xingzu's intention.
Without further thought, the Heaven's Eye component was activated.
The next second, a huge projection screen appeared in the vast Earth's core space, displaying the scene outside the Dragon Spine Continent at that moment.
Buzz!
As the Floating Land Shield of the Dragon Spine Continent rippled, dozens of representative warships from various powers of the kingdom stirred in front of the Unmoving Bodhimanda.
Inside the warships, the high-level representatives of the various forces had their pupils contracted, staring at the Sea Tamer Dragon Soaring that burst out from the Dragon Spine Continent with disbelief.
Even when they learned that the Dragon Spine Continent had successfully advanced to the Seventh Rank Floating Land, everyone still had their doubts, but that was still an extremely small possibility.
How difficult was it for a Dreadnought to challenge a Planet Destroyer? Even with the energy tide boost from the Seventh Rank Floating Land promotion, the odds were still minuscule.
That was why the crowd reacted so dramatically upon seeing the Sea Tamer Dragon Soaring, which had successfully been promoted to a Planet Destroyer.
"Breaking news, the Sea Tamer Dragon Soaring has successfully been promoted to a Planet Destroyer! From now on, the Song Clan of the Dragon Spine Continent will be the second Immortal Clan in the Morningstar Kingdom!"
"Inform the elders immediately! The Song Clan's Sea Tamer Dragon Soaring has been promoted to a Planet Destroyer! The Morningstar Kingdom is about to undergo a major change!"
...
In no time, the news of the Sea Tamer Dragon Soaring's promotion to a Planet Destroyer was delivered at the fastest speed to the high-level representatives of the various powers in the kingdom.
And it wasn't just the Morningstar Kingdom; many forces in the Glorified Han Kingdom also learned of this news.
Compared to the undercurrents among the internal powers of the Morningstar Kingdom, the Glorified Han Kingdom was more amazed.
The Morningstar Kingdom, a newly established kingdom, had produced two Planet Destroyers in just a few hundred years, solidifying its position.
The group outside the Dragon Spine Continent paid no attention to the turmoil in the outside world, as the Dragon Spine Continent itself was like a massive powder keg at this moment. If Song Wujiang, the new Planet Destroyer captain, were to show even a hint of anger, this powder keg would ignite instantly, and the situation would spiral out of control.
After all, everyone understood that they hadn't come to offer congratulations; they were here to cause trouble for the Song Clan.
For them, this might be a reasonable instinctive measure, but for the Song Clan, it was a real obstacle.
Don't be fooled by the fact that nothing was ultimately achieved; it was because the Song Clan had the upper hand, not out of their kindness.
Imagine if the Song Clan had been less prepared or if Song Shiyuan hadn't been so firm. The outcome would have been drastically different.
More likely, the opportunity that the Song Clan had created with the collective effort of the entire clan would have been in vain, and the dangers and hatred involved were unimaginable.
Buzz!
The engines roared as Song Wujiang maneuvered the Sea Tamer Dragon Soaring to almost collide with Rosetta Morningstar's Morningstar Traverse, with only a hair's breadth between them.
This scene alone revealed the boundless rage simmering within Song Wujiang.
Fortunately, he still maintained a shred of restraint and didn't crash directly into the other ship.
"Lord Rota, it's an honor for the Song Clan to receive your personal visit of 'congratulations.' We've noted this 'kindness,' and if the opportunity arises in the future, we will surely repay it!"
With each word, Song Wujiang's tone suddenly halted, and his demeanor shifted from cold to an even harsher, stern voice.
"However, we're currently busy with affairs after the continent's promotion, so we won't be inviting you in for a tour. Please leave!"
Upon hearing this, the representatives of the other kingdom's powers breathed a collective sigh of relief. Without any delay, they immediately turned their ships and fled into the dark starry sky.
In contrast, the Morningstar Traverse, after Song Wujiang's offer to see them off, still showed no reaction. It seemed that Song Wujiang's thinly veiled insinuations had made it difficult for King Rota to save face.
"What's the matter? Is Lord Rota unwilling to leave?"
