Chapter 654: Choices and Old Acquaintances
After a few more minutes of contemplation, Song Chi further narrowed down his options and eliminated three components: the Lotus Meditation Seal, the Chichang's 044 Breeding Realm, and the Angelic Sovereign's Wing.
The Heaven Ruin Skydome already possessed a colorful mythical-grade time component, so the Lotus Meditation Seal's evolution could be put on hold for now.
As for the Breeding Realm, there was no need to elaborate on its importance. Currently, it was still at the seventh rank, not because it was insignificant, but because finding seventh-rank spirit roots and spirit plants was already challenging enough. As for eighth-rank and ninth-rank spirit roots, Song Chi had no leads at the moment, so there was no urgency.
The Angelic Sovereign's Wing was primarily a defensive component, and the Heaven Ruin Skydome already boasted a high-quality energy shield and ship hull armor. It also had absolute invincible domain abilities like the 'Black Hole Domain' and ultra-powerful defensive measures like 'Neutron Star Fission.' With the addition of the Quadrant Wheel Seal in the future, the ship's defense would be formidable. Evolving the Angelic Sovereign's Wing would only be an extra flourish.
In comparison, the Blood Battle Stele and Mirror Clone had more immediate importance.
No matter how strong the defense was, if the ship's mobility was restricted, it would still be a sitting duck.
The Mirror Clone was even more astonishing. As long as the mirror warship was powerful enough, Song Chi wouldn't need to take risks himself. Controlling everything from behind the scenes was what a truly intelligent person should do.
"Let's go with the Mirror Clone. This component will be the key to our operations in the Serpent Dragon Continent and the exploration of the Fairyland Continent's ruins. The higher its quality, the greater our future gains!"
Having made his decision, Song Chi didn't hesitate to throw the ninth-rank Golden Apple towards the Mirror Clone component.
After the Mirror Clone component successfully evolved into Black Ultimate Quality, Song Chi examined its attributes. Just as he had expected, the highest quality of the components that could be mirrored had now been elevated to lower-tier colorful quality.
...
Time flew by, and several years passed in the blink of an eye.
In the Multiverse Bazaar, a nearly tangible golden throne hovered high in the sky. Song Chi sat atop it, separated by a silver cushion, holding the Skyfall Dao Crystal in his hand. His double pupils intently observed the spatial origin law that had materialized before him.
Crack!
With a crisp shattering sound, the last trace of the Star Sea Space Origin Law contained within the Skyfall Dao Crystal was extracted, signifying that the crystal had completely transformed into an ordinary mineral, devoid of any value.
Song Chi closed his eyes, focusing on sensing the progress of the spatial origin law within his body.
"88%... Not bad. With this, we're not far from the success rate it will provide for promotion..."
Just as he was thinking, a message from the Abyssal Devil, who had been traveling for a while, reached him.
After a significant journey, they had finally arrived at the Song Family's Dragon Spine Continent.
Song Wujang and the others, who had received the news earlier, were already waiting outside the continent to greet them.
After a brief exchange, the work of relocating the Dragon Spine Continent began.
The Starshift Corporation's fleet dispatched for this task was highly efficient. They showed no signs of delay and even proactively refused to enter the Dragon Spine Continent.
According to them, this was a strict policy of the Starshift Corporation. Every floating continent might involve numerous secrets, and to avoid potential troubles and enhance their reputation, as well as increase customer retention, the Starshift fleets responsible for relocating continents were generally not allowed to enter the target floating lands.
It had to be said that this rule had unexpectedly positive effects. At least, those who had experienced the Starshift Corporation's services once were all praise, aside from complaints about the relocation fees.
It even attracted many returning customers to the Starshift Corporation.
...
As the Song Family's Dragon Spine Continent was being relocated, the various Flame Networks of the Morning Star Kingdom buzzed with discussions.
"Big news! The Dragon Spine Song Clan's ancestral land, the Dragon Spine Continent, has officially begun its relocation process, moving step by step towards the Crimson Disc Galaxy Cluster!"
"Is the Song Family serious? With the decline of the Dawnstar Family's position, if the Song Family leaves as well, who will uphold the reputation of the Morning Star Kingdom?"
"Did your ship just connect to the network? The Morning Star Kingdom? There is no more Morning Star Kingdom; from now on, we are all citizens of the Radiant Han Kingdom. The Morning Star Kingdom has been removed!"
"What about the Song Family, then?"
"I heard that the Song Family has joined forces with the Bone Gnawing Clan from the Golden Disc Galaxy Cluster. They plan to establish a new kingdom in the Crimson Disc Galaxy Cluster, and the Philip Family, Stark Family, and even the Dawnstar Family are said to be following suit."
"What about the Golden Horn Lu Clan, Dusk Family, and Eagle Family?"
"Haha, the families you mentioned are practically non-existent now. Their main fleets, which participated in the frontline war, are said to have been completely annihilated."
"What a dramatic turn of events! Who could have imagined that among the five major powers that once dominated the entire Morning Star Principality, it would be the once-underrated Dinghai Song Clan that soars to the top?"
...
In contrast to the astonishment and regret expressed in the various Flame Networks, the members of the Song Family were filled with unwavering determination. The interstellar migration operation continued with full force.
On this day, in the Multiverse Bazaar...
As countless Star Sea aliens were expelled from the secret realm of the bazaar, another round of trading came to a close.
After a rough inventory, Song Chi didn't rush to leave the Ruins Market. Instead, he opened the market's attribute panel.
The Ruins Market had been at the sixth rank for over five hundred years, and with countless transactions, it was now on the verge of meeting all the requirements for promotion to the seventh rank.
Ruins Market
Owner: Song Chi
Level: 69
Specifications: 4800km x 4800km
Basic Configuration: 5,900 shops, 1 open-air market area of 300km x 300km, 1 four-story inn, 1 lv69 all-attribute cultivation room (doubles efficiency for Ethereal Energy cultivation), 1 lv69 Ethereal Energy protection array, 1 randomly placed lv69 ultra-long-distance spatial gate, 1 sixth-rank Spirit Machine Synthesis Station, and 1 sixth-rank Oddity Origin Improvement Station.

Feature 2: Spatial Anchor Point (Can set five coordinate anchor points in any star domain of the Broken Star Sea)
Feature 3: Sovereign Essence (Possesses the power of a sovereign within the Ruins Market)
Upgrade Requirements: 1000 strands of Floating Continent Essence (Sixth Rank), 1 million strands of trade (1045081/1000000), 1000 strands of Sixth Rank Floating Continent Essence, 20 Time Fragments, and 20 Space Fragments.
From the last section on upgrade requirements, it was clear that with this transaction, the market's trade amount had already met the necessary conditions.
Additionally, over the past few years, he had also collected all the required Space Fragments, but he was still a few short of the Time Fragments.
Please... Collect... 6... 9... Books...!
There was no other way; previously, to enhance the Time Chessboard, he had already acquired all the Time Fragments from the Star Tower members and the Star Tower Shop. In recent years, he could only slowly collect them himself.
Fortunately, his scavenging efforts over the past two centuries had yielded some results, or the deficit would have been even greater.
"I already have 17 Time Fragments in my possession, just three short. Should I use Primordial Copper as a substitute?"
As he pondered this, a hint of reluctance surfaced in Song Chi's mind.
He had tested it before, and one piece of Primordial Copper could only replace one Time or Space Fragment, which was obviously not cost-effective.
After several hundred years of collecting, he now had five pieces of Primordial Copper, but they were hard-earned, and he was hesitant to use three of them.
"Master, there's an incoming communication!"
The voice of the Abyssal Devil suddenly sounded in his mind, interrupting his thoughts.
But when he returned to the exterior and the Heaven Ruin Skydome, Song Chi's eyebrows furrowed, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
When he first heard about the "incoming communication," he had assumed it was from one of the elders of his clan or someone from his lineage. However, the reality surprised him.
It was indeed a communication message, but it came from a communication component that hadn't been used for hundreds of years, one that he had almost forgotten about.
Looking at the ring on his hand that emitted a faint golden light, Song Chi's hazy memories quickly became clear.
"This is... the communication ring left by the owners of a batch of 'Abyssal Origin Crystals' when I separated them with the 'Heavenly Mandate Compass' in the Silver Disc Galaxy Cluster..."
He had a deep impression of this incident because he had known from the start that the woman's identity was not ordinary.
Abyssal Origin Crystals were a rare resource only produced in the Bottomless Abyss, and the terror of the Bottomless Abyss was beyond comprehension.
According to records, numerous dominant-level civilizations had been devoured by the Bottomless Abyss.
Anyone capable of exploring or even standing in the Bottomless Abyss couldn't be ordinary.
Taking a deep breath, Song Chi suppressed his doubts and opened the communication ring.
"I recently acquired another batch of Abyssal Origin Crystals, and this batch has an even higher level of pollution. Can you help me process them again? We can discuss the fee when we meet!"
The two had only met once before, and their relationship was purely transactional, so there was no small talk or greetings; instead, they got straight to the point, which Song Chi found more comfortable.
After some consideration, he replied.
"Sure, still at the Silver Plate Continent?"
"That's fine with me; it's up to you."
"Then let's meet at the Silver Plate Continent."
"Okay, I'll arrive at the Silver Plate Continent within half a year. I'll contact you then!"
Due to the nature of the Chaos Communication Ring, this communication ring could be used twice, so the two didn't specify a meeting location in advance.
With this interruption, Song Chi no longer dwelled on his concerns.
He just hoped that the other party had Time Fragments, which would save him a lot of time.
After informing the elders, the Mirror Warship was activated once more, and it headed towards the Radiant Han Continent at the center of the Tianpan River System.
It didn't take half a year; Song Chi arrived at the Silver Plate Continent in less than four months, and that was without rushing.
