Chapter 575: The Golden Plate River System and the Immortal Qin Dynasty
...
After completing the promotion of the Golden [Chucang's 004 Nurturing Mystic Realm] component, Song Chi did not rush to retrieve the battleship but turned his gaze once again to the numerous Golden and above-quality components.
It had been over a decade since the resolution of the Ancient Matriarch's matter, and in this long period, he had already completed the refinement of the three Dominator Sovereign corpses, obtaining a total of 90 Sovereign True Spirit portions, excluding the Dominator Source Blood.
According to the final distribution, he personally obtained 20 portions of the Sovereign True Spirit, and at present, he had 21 strands of the Sovereign True Spirit in his possession. Combined with the remaining two strands of Eight-Rank Floating Continent Origin and the titanium crystal shares issued by the family over the past decade, it was enough to support the enhancement of two more components to the eighth rank.
His gaze shifted, and the seven components that had just completed their quality promotion, including the Golden [Chucang's 004 Nurturing Mystic Realm], Purple Heaven Thunder Cannon, Neutron Star Core Armor, Heaven's Eye, Phantom Sea Projection Necropolis, Divine Mind Chapter, and Heavenly Destiny Compass, flashed through his mind one by one.
Seeing that it was difficult to make a decision, he could only use the elimination method again.
The Golden [Chucang's 004 Nurturing Mystic Realm] was the first to be excluded. The reason for using the Eight-Rank Golden Apple on it was that it affected the production speed of a large number of spirit roots and rare resources within the mystic realm, but it did not mean that it could enhance the combat power of the Heaven Ruin Skydome. With the civilizational war imminent, the priority was naturally the combat power of the flagship.
Based on this, the Divine Mind Chapter and the Heavenly Destiny Compass were also excluded.
This left only four components.
After a moment of contemplation, Song Chi ultimately chose the Neutron Star Core Armor and the Purple Heaven Thunder Cannon.
The Neutron Star Core Armor needed no further explanation; it was a combination component with the energy shield, and enhancing any one of the components could boost the attributes of the other, making it extremely cost-effective.
As for the Purple Heaven Thunder Cannon, its "Ninefold Purple Heaven Annihilation Tribulation Thunder" was a powerful trump card on the Heaven Ruin Skydome. Especially in the subsequent civilizational battlefield, where the Multiverse Projection Order was not suitable for public use, solely relying on the Fresh Blood Spear, an eighth-rank golden super main cannon, would not be sufficient.
Looking at the attributes of the two components, the Neutron Star Core Armor's defense significantly increased after being enhanced to the eighth rank, especially its unique characteristics.
For example, "Neutron Star Pulse," which at the seventh rank, restored 12% of the armor layer every 5 seconds and 12% of the shipborne energy shield value every 10 seconds.
This was a direct improvement from restoring 10% of the armor layer every 5 seconds and 10% of the shipborne energy shield value every 10 seconds.
Combined with the "Yin-Yang Convergence" characteristic of the Yin-Yang Counterbalance Annihilation Shield, as long as the energy shield did not overload, it could quickly repair itself.
The attack power of the Purple Heaven Thunder Cannon also significantly increased.
After enhancing the two components, Song Chi did not exit the Multiverse Bazaar but directly used the Time Chessboard's boost to comprehend the Time Law.
With only a little over a decade left until the start of the great war, he wanted to improve his strength as much as possible before the war.
...
Time passed, and five years later.
Dragon Spine Continent, Dragon Spine Divine Mountain Square.
On this day, the Divine Mountain Square was filled with millions of clan members. Looking up, one could see that the huge execution ground on the 10,000-meter-high platform in front of the square was crowded with people.
These people were generally young, with the youngest being only a few decades old, and the oldest not exceeding 400 years old.
What surprised the crowd below even more was that in front of these thousands of people, three newly promoted clan elders stood tall.
"Isn't that Elder Zhihao? What's going on... Why is he wearing criminal shackles?"
"Did the clan brother just return to the Dragon Spine Continent?"
"Yes, he was previously on a family mission and only accumulated enough merit last month. He returned to the Dragon Spine Continent to exchange for a new batch of Fire Carp. After eating it for two more years, my Flame Seed should be able to advance to the blue rank."
"I see, let me tell you, these people are all the scum of the family, just like Song Zhihao, who not only embezzled clan property but also killed a talented cruiser fleet admiral of the family to satisfy his dark desires."
...
The crowd of clan members watching from below the execution platform discussed animatedly. Suddenly, intense shadow energy fluctuations emanated from the square, and a figure quickly descended from the sky.
After landing on the execution platform, Song Xuan Cang's gaze first swept coldly across the thousands of people on the high platform. Finally, his gaze abruptly shifted, looking towards the densely packed clan members below.
"Listen up, everyone. These people behind me are all the worms and scum that have emerged in the family in recent years. They commit all kinds of evil deeds, enjoying the fruits of the labor of countless ancestors who fought for the family with their blood over the past 3,000 years. Instead of being grateful, they collude with outsiders, embezzle clan property, kill their own clan members, and abuse the family's reputation in the outside world to oppress men and bully women, killing innocents. Tell me, how should we deal with them?"
Under the shroud of fifth-rank shadow energy, Song Xuan Cang's voice rang clearly in the ears of the millions of clan members below.
Hearing about these heinous acts, the faces of all the watching clan members filled with disgust.
At the forefront of the crowd, Song Yufeng spoke first.
"Kill them on the spot! These criminals are not worthy of being members of the Song family!"
With Song Yufeng taking the lead, those in the crowd who had also been oppressed echoed his words, and soon, the entire Divine Mountain Square resonated with a deafening chorus.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
...
Seemingly startled by this shocking outcry, the three Stag Fleet Admirals at the front of the high platform, including Song Zhihao, pleaded.
"Family Head, we know we were wrong, please give us a chance to reform. Moreover, with the civilizational war about to begin, the family cannot afford to lose any strength."
"Yes, Family Head, we were blinded by money before. How can you sentence us to death?"
...
Facing the numerous pleas for mercy from behind, Song Xuan Cang did not turn around but replied coldly:
"Reform? What about all the clan members they personally killed? Who will give them a chance to start over?"
"You don't even have the most basic bottom line, and you expect to contribute to the family?"
After the cold words, under the gaze of millions of clan members below, Song Xuan Cang's order quickly followed.
"Execute!"
As soon as the words fell, the puppet warriors standing around these people immediately took action, and soon, blood flooded the entire execution platform.
After all the criminals were killed, Song Xuan Cang's voice once again echoed in the square.
"I hope all clan members will remember what happened today. The reason the family has risen to the rank of immortal clans in just 3,000 years is because of the blood and tears of countless ancestors.
The reason you have a bright future today is built upon the blood and tears of the family's 3,000 years. This starting point, which ordinary people envy, is meant to help you go further on your path as a captain and spread the name of the Song Clan of Dragon Spine to a broader starry sky, not for you to indulge in extravagance and complacency!"
These words, which struck at the heart, reverberated in the ears of all the clan members, lingering for a long time.
Many of the younger clan members, who had previously held a sense of superiority, clenched their fists tightly, feeling as if they had been slapped in the face by the events of the day, waking them up from their complacency.
Deep within the Dragon Spine Divine Mountain, the core members of the Song family witnessed this scene, and a look of satisfaction appeared on their faces.
They believed that after this incident, the internal atmosphere of the family would quickly return to a normal track, and for a long time in the future, the family would return to its previous healthy development.
"We still need to invest more resources into the Inspection Hall. Only in this way can we maintain the clan's morale and unity. Our family has only been passed down for three thousand years, and we have just entered the ranks of the immortal clans. We should not be complacent, as our goal is to achieve a legacy of ten thousand years and become one of the immortal giants!"
In the great hall, the first to speak was Song Shiyuan.
His tone was firm, and the family's corruption issue had obviously affected him deeply. He did not want to see the same thing happen again in the future.
Naturally, the others in the hall agreed with him.
...
The highest command of the family was issued from the Ancestral Hall, and the people in the great hall gradually dispersed, leaving only Song Wujiang, Song Yan, and Song Chi.
Song Chi's gaze was fixed on Song Wujiang, as the Ancestor had just instructed them to stay, indicating that there was something he needed to tell them.
"Tomorrow, we need to make a trip. You two should prepare as well, and we'll set off together."
Song Yan was the first to ask:
"Ancestor, where are we going?"
"The Golden Plate Galaxy, the Heavenly Harmony Kingdom!"
Upon hearing these four words, Song Chi and Song Yan's eyebrows rose simultaneously. They had some knowledge of the Heavenly Harmony Kingdom, which was the only kingdom within the Golden Plate Galaxy. Together with the Golden Plate Galaxy, the Silver Plate Galaxy, and other galaxies, they formed a small galaxy cluster.
Strictly speaking, this small galaxy cluster was developed within the last several tens of thousands of years, making it one of the shortest-controlled galaxy clusters under the Immortal Qin Dynasty.
The Golden Plate Galaxy, where the Heavenly Harmony Kingdom was located, was in the eastern central star region of the Flame Human River System Cluster, which was the closest to the Immortal Qin Dynasty.
"The Heavenly Harmony Kingdom, what are we going there for?"
Song Yan asked again, and Song Wujiang did not hide the reason.
"According to the information received by the family, there will be a giant auction held on the Golden Disc Floating Continent soon, which will include many high-level components and rare resources. The Sea Tamer Dragon Soaring is missing a high-quality universal cooling reduction component, so we're going to try our luck."
"A high-quality universal cooling reduction component? That's extremely rare."
Song Chi felt that the Ancestor might have more to say, as it would be a waste of time to go straight there and return empty-handed. In the current situation, time was the most precious resource.
As expected, before Song Chi could finish his thought, the Ancestor spoke again.
"I have received precise information that this auction on the Golden Disc Floating Continent is being held by a declining immortal clan. Among the auction items, there is a golden-quality universal cooling reduction component."
At this point, he paused.
"Moreover, in addition to participating in this auction, we also need to visit the Flame Ancestral Courtyard of the Immortal Qin Dynasty. The Sea Tamer Dragon Soaring is going to be promoted to a Star Annihilator, and we need to personally report and register with the Ancestral Courtyard."
Register with the Flame Ancestral Courtyard?
Song Chi and Song Yan were truly puzzled by this.
Before this, they had not found any related information in the family's database.
Nor had they heard of it from the outside world.
Their confusion did not last long, as Song Wujiang quickly explained:
"Reporting and registering with the Flame Ancestral Courtyard is not a mandatory requirement. At least, it is not mandatory within the first ten thousand years after officially becoming a Star Annihilator Fleet Admiral."
"Then why are we in a hurry..."
Song Wujiang waved his hand to interrupt Song Yan and continued:
"Wait, let me explain. Registering with the Flame Ancestral Courtyard is more like a Star Annihilator Fleet Admiral officially obtaining their official identity from the Four Great Empires. In this case, every Star Annihilator Fleet Admiral is required to undertake a special defense mission for a thousand years every five thousand years."
"Of course, there will be rewards for the mission. After obtaining official certification, every Star Annihilator Fleet Admiral can receive specific rewards from their superior empire. Every thousand years, they can claim ten portions of Sovereign True Spirit, and they can claim five thousand-year portions at once."
Upon hearing this, Song Chi and Song Yan slightly understood some of the matters involved.
At this moment, Song Chi asked, "Ancestor, what is the specific defense mission? The Civilizational Great Wall?"
Song Wujiang nodded lightly and then said,
"Including but not limited to the Civilizational Great Wall. However, I can't tell you about the other missions until we officially receive certification from the Flame Ancestral Courtyard."
Hearing this, Song Yan asked another question.
"Ancestor, how did you know about this?"
There was no mention of it in the family's database, so could it be a matter of their access privileges?
"This information was automatically displayed by the Flame Seed after breaking through the seventh level of Guiding Art. If I'm not mistaken, it should be a special setting developed by the Four Great Empires on the original Flame Seed."
Hearing this, the two of them finally understood.
The three of them did not say more and left separately.
Song Yan's situation was unknown to Song Chi, but he himself was a little excited.
As a Flame Keeper Captain and a citizen of Flame Human Civilization, he had always held the Four Great Empires in high regard. Now that he knew he would soon be personally visiting one of the Four Great Empires, the Immortal Qin Dynasty, he naturally felt full of anticipation.
The next day, Song Chi, Song Wujiang, and Song Yan reunited in the Dragon Whale Hall.
"Little Chi, let's go directly to the Silver Disc Floating Continent. We're in a hurry!"
"Yes!"
The three of them quickly headed to the large-scale long-distance teleportation terminal outside the Silver Disc Floating Continent after transferring through the Multiverse Bazaar.
They needed to use this teleportation terminal to teleport to another galaxy nearby, and from there, they could teleport directly to the Golden Plate Galaxy.
Within the small galaxy cluster where the Golden Plate Galaxy was located, the Golden Plate Galaxy was in the northeasternmost region, while the Golden Disc Galaxy was in the southwestern region, the farthest apart. The Silver Disc Galaxy was located between the two.
After purchasing teleportation tickets, the three of them waited for three days at the stargate terminal before officially beginning their teleportation.
More than half a month later, after two long-distance stargate teleports, they successfully arrived at the Golden Plate Galaxy.
