Chapter 685: Journey to the Red Star Continent
Chapter 685: Journey to the Red Star Continent
Six-for-one, it may seem like a raw deal, but only Song Chi, the rightful owner, understands the gains and losses.
Pretending to be in a dilemma, Song Chi contemplated for a moment before quickly nodding in agreement.
"Then it's settled. However, the 8th-level Sovereign Source Blood and the two 6th-level Time Realm Fruits will take some time. The 8th-level Source Blood must be delivered to you within ten years, but the production of the Time Realm Fruits is too slow, so we'll have to delay that a bit."
"Hao Yue" seemed to understand this as well, and the 6th-level Time Realm Fruits were resources he had prepared for his potential future promotion failure, making them unusable in the short term.
"Alright, then the Body of the Moon-Swallowing Viper can be given to you directly in exchange for the three items in your possession. As for the other three, they can be delivered within the next five hundred years!"
This "Hao Yue" was clearly a decisive and straightforward person, with no hesitation. After taking the three items from Song Chi, he quickly walked to the Star Palace Mall window and directly retrieved the legendary Body of the Moon-Swallowing Viper, which had been hanging in the mall for thousands of years, and handed it over to Song Chi.
Even when he finally logged out of the Star Palace, he didn't mention anything about signing a trade contract.
Regarding this, Song Chi first admired the open-minded personality of "Hao Yue" and then associated it with the North Dipper Seven Star Palace itself.
When faced with a colorful mythical artifact, no matter how decisive and straightforward one is, it's still inappropriate to treat it so casually. The reason "Hao Yue" could act so unconcerned was mainly due to the witness of the colorful extreme-level North Dipper Seven Star Palace beneath his feet.
In front of the colorful extreme-level North Dipper Seven Star Palace, what need is there for other contractual components? It's just an unnecessary complication.
However, even after realizing this, Song Chi didn't have the spare time to pay attention at this moment, as his attention was entirely focused on the miniature snake corpse in his hand, emitting a three-colored radiant glow.
The snake corpse was covered in countless tiny blue scales, surrounded by a radiant aura, making it seem lifelike even after more than a million years.
Song Chi could even sense the subtle mythical power emanating from it.
At his current level, he couldn't differentiate mythical power, but the energy he captured contained a formidable force beyond his understanding. This power far exceeded the 9th-level power he controlled in the Xichuan Market, and he could hardly associate it with anything other than 10th-level mythical power.
He could feel that this mythical power was related to bloodlines, most likely the power of the Moon-Swallowing Viper's lineage.
With this speculation, Song Chi's joy reached its peak. At least up to this point, everything was progressing perfectly according to his previous plan. Now, it was time to see the depth of the Bloodline Sorcerer Family Alliance of the Wushier Civilization.
If the Bloodline Sorcerer Family Alliance had several powerful snake sorcerer families and possessed corresponding tradable items, it would be perfect.
...
Not long after Hao Yue left, Song Chi also logged out of the North Dipper Seven Star Palace.
He still owed an 8th-level Sovereign Source Blood, and the Skygale of Tianxu needed one as well. He couldn't afford to waste any time.
After leaving the North Dipper Seven Star Palace, Song Chi didn't linger in the Longyuan Continent. Through the super-dimensional teleportation platform connected to the Dragon Whale Ancestral Palace, he immediately teleported to the second stop of his journey to the Red Star Continent—Longsha City.
Hundreds of years ago, this place was home to tens of millions of people, but now only a mere ten thousand remained.
Thinking of the Chihuan River System, Song Chi's expression softened.
The family-supported interstellar immigration project had been ongoing for decades. With the help of multiple spatial wormholes, the number of Flame-Light citizens in the Chihuan River System had become quite impressive.
According to the rough statistics from the family's internal affairs hall, over the past few decades, the Chihuan River System had successfully accommodated over a hundred million Song family members, and those originally belonging to the Song family's territory had exceeded a billion.
Over a hundred million Song family members had all been assigned to the core floating continents of the star domain under the Song family in the Chihuan River System, while most of the ordinary Flame-Light citizens settled on the ordinary floating continents within the Song family's territory.
Although the Song family occupied a 300,000-light-year territory in the Chihuan River System, their population was limited, and it was impossible to develop such an extensive star domain with just a small number of people. It was still necessary to rely on the Flame-Light citizens below.
Of course, a portion of the benefits would be distributed to these citizens, but the lion's share was firmly in the hands of the Song family.
This development method wasn't unique to the Song family; almost all other forces followed the same approach, as it was the most reasonable and efficient way to develop territories.
Without lingering in Longyuan City, Song Chi summoned the Skygale of Tianxu and quickly left the underground city.
With two high-grade dimensional jump components, Song Chi didn't take long to arrive at the second stop on his journey to the Red Star Continent—Longsha City.
As the family's public trading city in the Red Star Continent, Longsha City had always been known for its orderly management.
As the Song family's flagship city in the Red Star Continent, and with the production of the special resource, the Fire Carp, which could automatically promote colorless and white Flame-Fire Seeds, the Song family had always attached great importance to the management of this city.
Even with the ongoing civilization war, the Starry Sky Shark had been deployed to join the family fleet, and Song Chi still kept a Market Projection Token here as a precaution.
Although the main reason was that the number of Market Projection Tokens had increased to ten after the Xichuan Market's promotion to the 7th level, it still showed the Song family's importance to Longsha City.
After hundreds of years of accumulation, Longsha City had become very different from when it was first established.
When the Skygale of Tianxu, hidden in the void, arrived above the city, what met the eye were long lines of alien beings waiting to enter the city gates.
Inside the city, millions of aliens roamed the streets, creating a bustling atmosphere.
In the sky above the city, thousands of Flame-Light warships patrolled back and forth, ready to land and suppress any conflicts that might occur on the streets below.
Unlike the Longyuan City side, the Song family had always made significant investments in Longsha City. Even with the ongoing grand-scale civilization war, they still maintained over ten thousand Flame-Light warships here to maintain order.
At the forefront of the fleet stands the formidable Far East Cruise dreadnought.
This Far East Cruise dreadnought was transferred to Longsha City three hundred years ago. Prior to that, it had always been under the command of a hidden vein elder, who had reached the end of their potential. Despite using a 5th-grade Time Realm Fruit, they failed to break through, and their life came to an end three hundred years ago.
Only then did the Far East Cruise take over.
As for the Far East Cruise, Song Chi had heard of it long ago. It was one of the ancestral veins of the Song family, renowned alongside the Primordial and Ru Zu, known as the Eastern Ancestor. Its promotion to a dreadnought was not far off from Song Xingru's, but it had always been stationed to guard the family residence in the Demon Buddha Continent. If it weren't for the lack of a successor in Longsha City three hundred years ago, it wouldn't have been transferred here.
"Grandson Song Chi, greetings to the Eastern Ancestor!"
As soon as the warship's communication connected, Song Chi spoke first.
Even though he is now also a dreadnought, and has begun the task of promoting to a planet-killer ship, according to family seniority, he should still address the Eastern Ancestor as "Ancestor."
Regardless, these elders have dedicated thousands of years to the entire family. Before the Song family rose to prominence, they were the ones who upheld the Song family, securing precious resources for the younger generations. Each one of them deserves respect from the Song family's descendants.
Not only now, but even if he successfully promotes to a planet-killer ship captain, or even a star stream ship captain in the future, he will still address them as Elder.
In the communication channel, Song Zhendong appeared delighted, his face radiating with joy.
"Little Chi, why did you suddenly come to the Red Star Continent? Has the Civilization War ended?"
"Not that fast. To completely end this Civilization War, it's estimated to take at least several thousand years. This time, the grandson..."
Song Chi briefly explained the purpose of his visit and the situation of the Civilization War over the past few hundred years. Song Zhendong listened with great interest.
After that, Song Zhendong also introduced the current situation in Longsha City.
"Little Chi, the situation in Longsha City is gradually improving. In the past hundred years, we've almost been able to earn dozens of strands of 8th-grade Floating Land Origin every year, and occasionally even obtain one or two 8th-grade Sovereign True Spirit. There are even more 7th-grade Sovereign True Spirits."
The latest information is in the 69th book.
As he spoke, the cabin door of the Far East Cruise dreadnought opened, and several storage capsules were pulled out.
After the Skygale of Tianxu warship retrieved the capsules, Song Chi saw the impressive gains of Longsha City over the past few hundred years.
Eight-grade Sovereign True Spirit: 11 portions
Seven-grade Sovereign True Spirit: 72 portions
Nine-grade Floating Land Origin: 1 strand
Eight-grade Floating Land Origin: 4,200 strands
Golden Particle Long-Range Detection Radar
Silver Holy Spirit Fire
...
Song Chi was not surprised by these gains, but for the Song family, a newly promoted immortal noble house, this income was indeed impressive.
In other immortal noble houses, such income over hundreds of years would be considered excellent. With time, after thousands of years of accumulation, the foundation they build is astonishing.
After chatting with the Eastern Ancestor for a while, Song Chi once again controlled the Skygale of Tianxu to depart, as he had confirmed that there were no abnormalities in Longsha City.
His next task was to hunt down 8th-grade sovereign beings, an action that must not be associated with Longsha City in any way.
Just because one can summon a Half Step 9th-grade projection from the Xushi Market doesn't mean there are no concerns. Although there are no known 9th-grade sovereign beings on the Red Star Continent, it doesn't mean the highest level is limited to 8th-grade combat power.
Not to mention anything else, but in Song Chi's memory, there is the City of Holy Light, a neutral city established by an 8th-grade Angel King, a descendant of a 9th-grade Seraphim bloodline from the Shattered Star Sea, a dominant civilization. Although it appears to be just an 8th-grade Angel King, Song Chi is certain that if they harm the other party, a group of high-grade angels will come seeking revenge.
At that time, not only will the 8th-grade Angel King appear, but even a 9th-grade Seraphim might show up.
Therefore, this hunting operation requires careful consideration. When to take action, and against which alien race, must be planned beforehand. Otherwise, even with the backing of the Xushi Market, Song Chi fears attracting some existence he cannot afford to provoke.
In the command center of the warship, Song Chi's gaze was fixed on a special information directory in his hand. This directory contains data collected by the hidden vein over thousands of years, including the distribution of alien races across the Red Star Continent, their specific strengths, and their backgrounds.
At the top of the list is the City of Holy Light.
City of Holy Light, founded by a suspected descendant of a 9th-grade Seraphim bloodline from the Angel Civilization, with an incredibly powerful background.
Zhanxian Tower, from the Star Sea's advanced Astrologer Civilization, possibly backed by an 8th or even 9th-grade Astrologer.
Juxiang City, established by an 8th-grade giant elephant, seems to have no further background.
Blackmoon Magic Wolf, a mutated starry sky giant beast, Xiaoyue Silver Wolf, from a clan with a 9th-grade Silver Wolf Lord.
Xinghe City, a city of the Star Spirit race, has a 7th-grade Star Spirit Sovereign.
Each piece of information was recorded by the hidden vein, and while it may not be comprehensive, it serves as a suitable reference.
Not to mention, Song Chi had personally visited Xinghe City, and the information was mostly accurate.
After much deliberation, Song Chi quickly confirmed his first target.
Juxiang City!
The Red Star Continent is not small, but it's not that big either. Once the hunt begins, news spreads quickly. To prevent the target from becoming wary, he decided to target an 8th-grade being as his first goal.
Juxiang City was established tens of thousands of years ago by an 8th-grade giant elephant. At that time, the city, though not as majestic as the City of Holy Light, had rules far superior to Longsha City. Additionally, the accumulation of alien customers over tens of thousands of years has resulted in over ten million aliens gathering in the city at this moment.
Song Chi couldn't help but feel envious. Whether it's Longsha City or the Xushi Market, their scale doesn't come close to this.
