Chapter 658: Departure
Chapter 658: Departure
Song Chi was alerted by the news from the Luminary Radiance Order, which had been left with the Dragon Backbone Continent. He and his family fleet were initially working with several other immortal clans to conquer a seventh-tier floating land in the Vessel Serpent River System.
Upon his return to the Dragon Backbone Continent, Song Chi immediately checked the Luminary Order Chat.
"Luminary Radiance Master: @All members, gather your true bodies at the Star Tower within three days. The Demon Snake Continent operation has begun!"
"Luminary Radiance Master: @All members..."
"Luminary Radiance Master: @All..."
These three consecutive messages at the top of the chat instantly stirred up excitement among the group.
"19th 'Scorching Sun': Finally, it's starting! Where's the group army?"
"22nd 'Red Fox': Oh my!"
...
Similar to the Luminary Radiance Order chat, there were many others like this, scattered throughout the Flamefire Human Galaxy Cluster or already on the front lines of war.
Not to mention, Song Chi could guess that there were probably the other six major Star Towers under the Big Dipper Main Hall.
The Celestial Pivot Star Tower, Celestial Spin Star Tower, Celestial Bright Star Tower, Celestial Scale Star Tower, Jade Balance Star Tower, and Opening Sun Star Tower.
As far as Song Chi knew, the Big Dipper Main Hall didn't have any low-ranking members, and the lowest rank was that of a Star Destroyer Commander. It was the ultimate gathering place for the prodigies nurtured by the Seven Halls.
Initially, Song Chi had always wondered why, according to the selection process of the Luminary Radiance Tower, only the absolute top prodigies from the Flamefire Human Galaxy Cluster could pass the trials. Yet, after more than ten thousand years, the Star Tower had only produced one Star Destroyer Commander?
Shi Gou, the Corpse Hound, didn't count, as he was not yet a hundred years old and had just been promoted.
Song Chi was referring to the second member of the Star Tower, the one who had repelled a Dominant Void Black Snake from a distance but whose detailed information remained unknown.
It was only later that he realized the truth, understanding that it wasn't that the Luminary Radiance Tower struggled to produce Star Destroyer Commanders and above, but that they all gathered at the Big Dipper Main Hall.
Recently, he had heard that after Shi Gou achieved the rank of Star Destroyer Commander, the original Luminary Radiance Master, who was the current number one of the Star Tower, was preparing to go to the Big Dipper Main Hall, and the new Luminary Radiance Master would be Shi Gou.
After confirming this, Song Chi returned to the Vessel Serpent River System to inform his Ancestors and the others, asking them to get ready.
Three days later, at the Star Tower Hall.
When Song Chi arrived in person, there were already nearly twenty people gathered in the Star Tower.
He wasn't surprised by this sight.
After carefully calculating, he realized that he had been a member of the Luminary Radiance Tower for over seven hundred years. Although some members had perished in strange lands, the number of new members was significantly higher, and now the Star Tower had nearly forty members.
The Demon Snake Continent operation was undoubtedly a grand feast, despite its dangers. There were many valuable items to be found, and as long as they could acquire a few of them, it would be a great help to ship captains like him, who had decent origins and talents.
If they could obtain one of the truly top-tier resources, it would directly lay a solid foundation for their future in the Star River, or even the Hyperdimensional path. Such temptation was irresistible for any captain with high aspirations.
"Besides the few who joined in the last two hundred years, have they all signed up...?"
Muttering to himself, Song Chi noticed that not all the members had arrived yet, and the Star Master was also not present. He briefly greeted the members beside him and then walked out of the Star Tower Hall alone.
Outside the Star Tower, the familiar Civilization Great Wall still stood.
As a strategic-grade colored lower-tier oddity, the Civilization Great Wall was invaluable to a civilization, second only to a colored upper-tier Flame Warship component.
For over ten thousand years, the Flamefire Human Civilization had relied on it to expand into the Octopus Serpent River System Cluster, but in the past few hundred years, this super-starry Great Wall had not been fully utilized.
The reason was simple—the expansion speed of the Civilization Great Wall couldn't keep up with the rapid advancement of the four empires.
Through his double pupils, Song Chi could clearly sense even the slightest changes, and although the expansion was minimal, it was certain that the Civilization Great Wall's expansion had never stopped, continuously extending further north.
Song Chi wasn't sure how long it would take for the slow-expanding Civilization Great Wall to cover the entire Octopus Serpent River System Cluster, but it was definitely achievable, even if it took more time.
A thousand years?
Ten thousand years?
Perhaps even longer, but one thing he could be certain of was that he would live to see that day.
By then, the Flamefire Human Civilization would possess two system clusters, with nearly two thousand systems under its command.
As he thought about this, a sudden idea popped into Song Chi's mind.
'At that time, will the Flamefire Human Civilization be able to challenge the Overlord-level civilizations? Or...'
Before he could finish his thought, light footsteps sounded behind him, followed by a cool voice.
"Are you thinking about why the expansion speed of the Civilization Great Wall is so slow?"
"Bai Mei..."
Song Chi, who had always had his suspicions about Bai Mei's identity, simply responded with a nod.
Bai Mei, with a cold expression, approached him. Her voice, as cold as ever, spoke again.
"Strictly speaking, this is the Civilization Great Wall's own expansion speed..."
"Does that mean its expansion speed can be increased through external factors?"
Bai Mei nodded.
"As long as a Hyperdimensional Mother Ship continuously pushes it, the expansion speed of the Civilization Great Wall can be increased tenfold. But currently, with the war at a critical juncture, the frontlines of the Civilization War, the rear of the Flamefire Human Galaxy Cluster, the Bottomless Abyss Civilization Warfront, and the Emperor City all require the presence of top-tier battle strength. There's no spare manpower to drive this Civilization Great Wall..."
Bai Mei's words revealed a lot of information, much of which Song Chi had never heard of before, piquing his interest even more.
However, after pondering for a moment, he dismissed these thoughts.
Although he couldn't access this information now, it didn't mean it would always be the case. Once the Heaven Ruin Skydome achieved the rank of Star Destroyer, and he became a Star Destroyer Commander, these things would no longer be issues for him.
Changing the topic, he asked another question.
"Bai Mei, are you also participating in this Demon Snake Continent operation?"
This wasn't a random question to change the subject; Song Chi was genuinely curious about this.
Given Bai Mei's status and identity, even the rarest resources on the Demon Snake Continent shouldn't hold much attraction for her, and there was no need for her to join this operation.
White Brow nodded slightly but didn't elaborate further.
Understanding her reluctance to discuss this, Song Chi didn't press the issue and quickly changed the topic.
The two continued their conversation for a while until they heard Yu Long calling from behind.
All the registered Star Tower members had arrived, and the Star Master had also made their appearance. It was time to depart.
It was worth noting that Cui Yu Long wasn't here to participate in this operation. She wasn't one for combat, and although her ship might have been formidable in the past, after serving as the interior mistress of the Changsun Family, one of the immortal giants of the Tang Dynasty, for many years, her current combat capabilities were questionable.
This time, she had logged into the Star Tower to observe the members participating in the Demon Snake Continent operation and to look after her beloved son, Changsun Yu.
As a former top-ranked member of the Changsun Family and having entered the ranks of Fearless Commanders decades ago, Changsun Yu was now a core member of the family.
Please... collect... 6...9... books...!
Even so, he hadn't earned the opportunity to join the Demon Snake Continent operation.
While the Changsun Family had a formidable heritage spanning over ten million years and possessed a Star River Ship as their stronghold, they were, after all, from the Tang Dynasty.
As mentioned earlier, only the internal forces of the four divine dynasties could participate in the Demon Snake Continent operation, along with the truly powerful factions from the Flame River Human System.
Take the [Big Dipper Seven Star Palace] as an example, a force that had been established for over two hundred thousand years. Although they didn't have a Hyperdimensional Mother Ship, a pillar-level force, they had more than a few Star River Ships and even an Ultimate Star River Ship.
Only such a force would be treated with respect by the four Flame River Empires.
"Don't worry, leave it to me!"
At the entrance of the grand hall, Shi Gou nodded.
As the newly promoted Star Destroyer Commander of the Luminary Radiance Star Tower, it was natural for him to bring along a few people, a privilege granted by the big shots of the Big Dipper Main Hall.
Seeing Shi Gou's agreement, Yu Long's gaze shifted to Song Chi and White Brow, who had just entered the hall.
"Jing Zhi, White Brow, if you have the capacity, please help me look after my little brother..."
Without hesitation, Song Chi and White Brow agreed to Yu Long's request.
Not only them, but all the members present also nodded in response.
As the group's trusted elder sister, Yu Long had often used the Changsun Family's influence to provide various forms of assistance. Naturally, no one would refuse her request.
It wasn't an unreasonable request, given their capabilities.
"All members, you may now summon your ships!"
Above the Star Tower Hall, the Luminary Radiance Star Master floated in mid-air. As his voice rang out, the hall's chatter abruptly ceased.
Without hesitation, the members summoned their ships from their Flame Orifices, with miniature warships appearing above their brows.
Song Chi followed suit, not worrying about the hall's space limitations.
During the previous [Blood Battle Secret Realm Task], he had noticed that the Big Dipper Seven Star Main Hall had the ability to autonomously shrink in size. As a derivative of the [Big Dipper Seven Star Palace], he had no doubt that the Luminary Radiance Star Tower possessed the same ability.
As the light shone, Flame Warships appeared in the hall, as expected. These ships had been reduced in size numerous times, floating above the hall and occupying very little space.
After that, the Star Tower members began to board their ships. They would need to use the rarely used Star Palace Teleportation Platform in the corner of the hall.
This platform, known as the [Star Palace Teleportation Platform], was a direct connection between the Big Dipper Seven Star Palace and the Big Dipper Main Hall.
The reason it was rarely used was because of its high energy consumption and long cooldown time. Unless it was a significant matter, the [Big Dipper Seven Star Palace] would usually communicate via Star Destroyers instead of using this platform.
Swish, swish, swish!
As their ethereal energy was activated, Song Chi, White Brow, and the others prepared to board their ships.
However, Yu Long stopped them.
"Uncle Shi Gou, Jing Zhi, White Brow, this is the communication device from my little brother's ship. You can use it for remote communication within the Demon Snake Floating Land later."
The group didn't ask any questions, as they could easily guess the reason.
It was likely that Cui Yu Long was concerned that her beloved son might feel embarrassed and not want to initiate the exchange of communication devices with them, so she had taken the initiative to make these arrangements.
In the end, it was all a mother's selfless love.
The [Star Palace Teleportation Platform] seemed to have an additional spatial force effect. As the already reduced Flame Warships entered the teleportation platform, their size shrank even further, and eventually, over twenty battleships, all of which were at least battleships, entered the platform.
Under the watchful eyes of the Luminary Radiance Star Master, Yu Long, and several fourth-rank Star Tower members, the Flame Warships were enveloped in starlight. When the starlight became dense enough, a star beam shot into the sky, and even from hundreds of thousands of light-years away, the outline of this star beam could be clearly seen.
At the northern border of the Immortal Qin Dynasty's star domain, the assembly area of the dynasty's main fleet hundreds of years ago.
On this section of the [Civilization Great Wall], a majestic temple stood, enveloped in boundless starlight. Seven equally impressive star towers surrounded the temple like stars around the moon, adding a touch of mystery to this starlight temple.
At this moment, one of the seven star towers suddenly stirred, and a beam of light shot out from the distant starry sky, eventually descending into the star tower.
Not far away, on the Civilization Great Wall, a group of Flame Warships hovered in the sky. They were the reserve fleet responsible for guarding the dynasty.
"This is the fifth one, right? What's going on with the [Big Dipper Seven Star Palace]? Is there a major operation on the front lines?"
"Don't speculate. A force of this level is beyond our reach. If there's anything important, the fleet commander will communicate with them!"
"I heard that the [Big Dipper Seven Star Palace] is one of the top forces in our Flame River Human Civilization. Their recruitment standards are extremely strict, and every member is a top talent in our civilization. I wonder how they compare to our fleet's [Flame Rose]?"
"Hmph, your vision is limited. What are we? A reserve fleet. Do you know what a reserve fleet is? We're not even considered part of the regular army. [Flame Rose] is considered a genius in our fleet, but in the main fleet, she's just ordinary. How can you compare her to the top talents selected from millions of Flame Warship Commanders?"
