Chapter 687: The Power Seal
Chapter 687: The Power Seal
If this situation were to unfold, the outcome for the Song family would be dire.
Precisely because he understood this, Song Chi set strict requirements for himself.
With less than 95% promotion success rate, he refused to proceed with the official promotion.
In just a few seconds, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
When he turned back, the cabin door of the Skygale of Tianxu had opened, and countless puppet warriors, Jie Xing Zu, ancient demons, and enslaved creatures swarmed out, rushing towards the chaotic Juxiang City below.
Above his head, the Xushi projection slowly dissipated, leaving only the Skygale of Tianxu suspended in the sky.
The reason he didn't continue to attack was that Song Chi realized it was no longer necessary.
The two remaining Dominant auras in the city had vanished the moment the city's shield shattered, and they likely escaped through the hyperspace gateway, as expected.
Besides, the highest rank among the millions of aliens left in the city was only the sixth-rank beings, posing no threat to the Skygale of Tianxu.
What Song Chi needed to do now was to first stabilize the order within the city, and then roughly search for resources by controlling the puppet warriors and enslaved creatures.
An eight-rank trade city that had stood for tens of thousands of years contained a vast amount of wealth, but Song Chi couldn't afford to spend too much time on it at the moment.
The warship promotion task of the Skygale of Tianxu could last up to ten years, and during this period, he had to find opportunities to increase the promotion success rate as much as possible, with no time to waste on other matters.
Additionally, there was another crucial point. Although he had deliberately controlled the spatial curtain above the city, it hadn't been shattered by the energy shockwaves of the eighth-rank or even quasi-ninth-rank beings. As a result, everything that happened in Juxiang City hadn't been broadcast, but it wouldn't remain hidden for long.
Millions of aliens, involving countless clans and star sea forces, would undoubtedly attract many inquisitive eyes if the disappearance extended beyond a certain limit. Once the time exceeded this boundary, everything that happened in Juxiang City would be exposed. He had to act as much as possible before the matter was exposed and other eighth-rank aliens on the hyperspace continent became wary. Otherwise, the opportunities would diminish.
Moreover, Song Chi wanted to take this opportunity to attempt to enslave an eighth-rank Dominant using the Sky Authority Control Ring.
If he succeeded, he could have it guard the Longji Continent or use it to deter those secretly watching the Song family. In any case, it would serve a significant purpose.
Although the promotion of the Skygale of Tianxu was enough to deter outside observers, he couldn't permanently guard the clan. Song Chi yearned for the vast star sea, so the family must retain a formidable force.
Of course, this didn't mean he would abandon the vast wealth in Juxiang City below, including the millions of aliens. This was a significant fortune, and among them, there were hundreds of sixth-rank aliens, even more fourth and fifth-rank aliens. Whether sold as slaves or used as enslaved creatures for the family, they were all excellent resources.
In the secret chamber beneath Juxiang City, several Shadow Kill Clan puppet warriors stood near the hyperspace gateway.
Under Song Chi's mental control, one of the puppet warriors stepped forward, entered the range of the gateway's effect, and then took out a Spirit Crystal.
However, Song Chi, far away in the sky outside, shook his head repeatedly.
"As expected, the other side of the gateway has been destroyed, and this gateway is now useless!"
"Since it's like that..."
With a thought, the nearby Shadow Kill Clan puppet warriors simultaneously received instructions and acted accordingly. Soon, the gateway in the secret chamber was thoroughly destroyed.
Who knew if there was a chance to repair it on the other side? For safety, it was better to destroy it completely.
After completing this, the Shadow Kill Clan puppet warrior in the middle took out another object.
It was a familiar Xushi Passage Token, but the purpose of taking out this token wasn't to enter Xushi. The roughly gathered resources had already been sent to Xushi, and Song Chi's current goal was different.
Under the precise control of the Shadow Kill Clan puppet warrior, the location where the hyperspace gateway was originally located suddenly trembled, and after several dozen seconds, a completely different teleportation platform quietly emerged.
At the moment this special teleportation platform appeared, in the Xushi of All Heavens, on the Zhudian Transfer Platform that had newly emerged with the promotion of Xushi to the seventh rank, corresponding changes occurred. The floating land teleportation node it was linked to had one more node, and the identifier of this node was the Red Star Continent.
...
Longji Continent, the Longjing Hall deep within the Longji God Mountain.
Today, the Longjing Hall, shrouded in chaos haze and three-color glow, was noticeably different from usual. In addition to the dozen or so shadows sitting on the throne of Stars, Stars, and Gold in the ancestral hall, thousands of figures stood neatly in the main hall.
At this moment, the figure on the fiery golden throne at the head shot out a golden light from between their eyebrows. As the golden light flowed and turned, a completely identical contract light screen appeared before the eyes of each of the thousand figures in the hall.
【Name: Flame Covenant】
【Quality: Golden】
【Confidential Content: Everything experienced in the next month is strictly prohibited from being leaked. Otherwise, it will be dealt with according to clan rules!】
【Signatories: Song Yiming, Song Li, Song Yueying...】
After everyone finished signing, the illusory figure on the golden throne at the head extended its hand.
Immediately after, the thousand people in the hall heard a faint tremor from the depths of the ancestral hall, and through the chaos haze, they saw the outline of a special teleportation stone platform.
"Alright, Yiming, you will be the team leader for this mission. You have full autonomy in all decisions, but remember not to rush into the warship promotion task. Your ship has already reached the limit of a battleship, but you still lack some promotion resources. If you complete this mission perfectly, the clan will reward you with a high-level energy crystal. There's no need to rush the promotion just yet!"
"Yiming, remember to choose the Red Star Continent as the teleportation node during the second teleportation. Otherwise, the consequences will be beyond what you can bear!"
"We will follow the instructions of the elders, Grandfather!"
After the elders' projections gave their instructions, Song Yiming led over a thousand Song family members to the teleportation platform deep within the ancestral hall.
The Interstellar Market, [Interstellar Teleportation Platform].
With a flash of light, a large number of Song family members appeared on this special platform.
After being teleported to the [Interstellar Teleportation Platform], the Song family members curiously examined their surroundings. However, due to the platform's inherent property of isolating the inside from the outside, they couldn't see anything. Following the elders' instructions, they once again chose the Red Star Continent as the teleportation node and initiated the second teleportation.
When they arrived at the underground chamber beneath the Juxiang City, the first thing they saw were several Shadow Kill puppets under Song Chi's command.
"Yiming greets Uncle Song Chi!"
As a family elder who had shown him kindness on multiple occasions, Song Yiming was quite familiar with Song Chi. So, when he saw the Shadow Kill puppets, he instantly knew that Song Chi was nearby.
"No need for formalities. I heard your ship has reached the level of a limit battleship? Impressive..."
Song Chi had a deep impression of Song Yiming, the second person in the family to receive the title of "Interstellar Prodigy" from the [Ancient Inheritance Tower].
In fact, Song Yiming did not disappoint the family's expectations and resource allocation. Not only did he become the top-ranked family member in his batch, but at just over 600 years old, he was already a limit battleship captain, and soon he would be challenging the rank of a dreadnought captain.
While the family's rapid development over the past few centuries played a significant role, Song Yiming's exceptional talent and hard work were also undeniable.
After briefly encouraging the family members, Song Chi quickly shifted the focus to the main topic.
"Your task this time is to scour this city outside as quickly as possible, including the more than ten million aliens."
"Remember, if you have promotion needs, you can kill those aliens on your own, but you must not slaughter them publicly to avoid causing a riot. All the resources you gather should be sent back to the Longji Continent first, and the family will distribute rewards to you later!"
...
After giving these instructions, Song Chi did not linger. The Skygale of Tianxu's engines roared as it continued to leap towards the second planned action location.
On the Juxiang City side, Song Chi left the Fierce Giant behind to prevent any unexpected incidents.
Among the family members who came to scour this time, there were many promising talents, and he couldn't afford any accidents.
Of course, before leaving, he intentionally left a divine imprint on the Fierce Giant. Later, when Song Yiming and the others finished scouring, he could activate the [Divine Chapter] to recall the Fierce Giant.

...
In the command center of the Skygale of Tianxu, with the battleship set to autopilot, Song Chi began to take inventory of their haul.
Although it was only a rough sweep by his subordinate creatures, as the first scavengers, they had managed to gather most of the valuable items in Juxiang City.
It was no wonder that the first scavengers were able to obtain such a significant haul.
Among the black and golden artifacts, only two could be transformed into ship-borne components: the [Fang of the Juxiang King] and the [Power Seal]. The [Hunyuan Lithium Armor] and [Cleave Heaven Axe] were ordinary artifacts.
Song Chi sent the two artifacts that could not be transformed into ship-borne components to the Interstellar Market Exchange Shop. Then, he turned his attention to the ship-borne component attributes of the two artifacts before him.
First was the [Power Seal], a special component with decent attributes. It could have a limited effect on the Skygale of Tianxu.
