Chapter 699: Song Chi's Royal Title of Sovereignty
Chapter 699: Song Chi's Royal Title of Sovereignty
After asking the question, Song Shixing's gaze shifted entirely to Song Chi's face, his eyes filled with subtle anticipation.
As the most gifted member in the history of the Song family, a genius who had achieved the rank of Star Destroyer Captain at just over a thousand years old, he naturally hoped that Song Chi would choose a distinctive and recognizable title.
After all, if things went as expected, this title would very likely spread with unstoppable momentum throughout the Flame-Ember human civilization, and even beyond, to the vast starry skies outside the Flame-Ember human galaxy, during the endless years to come. How could it not have a unique characteristic?
Regarding the Royal Title of Sovereignty, Song Chi had obviously given it careful consideration. Before his seclusion, he had discussed it in detail with Shen Youran, so he didn't hesitate and spoke directly, "Lord of the Vast Skies, this is a title I've been considering for a long time. What do you think, Brother Xingzu?"
"Haha, good!"
Song Shixing's laughter echoed throughout the Whale Palace. After a brief pause, he continued, "Lord of the Vast Skies, a ruler of the boundless starry universe. It's not only highly recognizable but also exudes the boldness of our Flame-Ember men. I believe this title will not go unnoticed, and our Song family, along with you, Song Chi, will be renowned throughout the vast starry sea!"
...
In the Red Plate Galaxy, on the Azure Floating Continent.
As the continent officially entered the seventh level, the energy tides that emerged from the land were one after another. Under these energy tides, tens of thousands of Flame-Ember warships scattered across the continent began their ascension one by one.
Even with the assistance of the gentle energy of the seventh level and the abundance of high-quality resources plundered from the Eight-Armed Snake Demon civilization, many of the warships on the continent still ended up failing their ascension.
Fortunately, the failures were only a minority. The vast majority succeeded, and they only needed to break through their Guidance Technique to complete a major realm breakthrough.
The ascension of Flame-Ember warships was already extremely difficult. It was only because the Song family's foundation had significantly expanded in recent years, providing better ascension conditions for their clansmen. If it were any other force, the success rate of warship ascension would be far lower than the failure rate.
Additionally, they didn't have a well-established unloading system for warship ascension like the Song family.
Not only did they have the Three-Eye Spirit Ring component, but the civilization war had been ongoing for over seven hundred years, and with the continuous trade from Song Chi's markets in the Ten Thousand Realms, the Song family now possessed nearly four-digit numbers of warship unloading components, with the Three-Eye Spirit Ring still being the highest quality. However, they had enough to meet the temporary ascension unloading requirements of a large number of mid and low-level clansmen.
This allowed the mid and low-level clansmen of the Song family to avoid the maximum cost of ascension failure, and it was also the main reason why the Song family's foundation could rapidly advance in a short time.
It could be said that while other Flame-Ember captains hesitated to attempt ascension, the Song family's clansmen of the same level had already undergone two or even three attempts. Some succeeded on their first try, and even with a bit of bad luck, they could succeed on the second attempt. Even if they were extremely unlucky or had an extremely low success rate, they could still mostly succeed after three attempts.
Under these circumstances, the Song family's clansmen ascended at a rate that made outsiders envious.
According to the rough statistics from the Song family's Internal Hall, as of fifty years ago, the number of clansmen at the fourth level and above had exceeded four digits, with cruiser captains surpassing fifty thousand, and second-level escort ship captains already numbering over a million.
As for Spiritual Energy shuttles and boats, these had already exceeded a hundred million.
According to Shen Youran, even the Northern Skies Shen family, with a heritage of over ten thousand years, had a similar level of strength, and even if they were slightly stronger, the difference would not be significant.
It could be said that through the efforts of Song Chi and the other high-ranking members of the clan, along with the obedience of the clansmen, the Song family had managed to elevate their four-thousand-year-old foundation to the level of a ten-thousand-year-old immortal clan in just under a thousand years of civilization war.
This achievement was nothing short of a miracle.
However, this miracle was built on the plunder of other Star Sea civilizations. Whether it was the previous Star-Robbing Clan or the current Eight-Armed Snake Demon clan, they all followed this path.
The Song family members didn't feel a shred of pity for this. This was the very nature of the boundless and shattered Star Sea. The Star Sea was ruthless, and when civilizations clashed, it was a battle to the death. If you didn't plunder, if you didn't strive to become stronger, you would eventually be oppressed, enslaved, or even annihilated.
Of course, neither Song Chi nor the Song family would become complacent because of this. In this civilization war, other Flame-Ember civilizations might not have gained as much as the Song family, but they weren't standing still either.
Take the Northern Skies Shen family of the Kingdom of Yaohan, for example. What Shen Youran had mentioned earlier was only the strength of the Shen family before the civilization war. The Song family had only caught up to the Shen family's foundation before the war began. As for the current strength of the Shen family, perhaps only they themselves knew.
But Song Chi could be certain that the current Shen family was even stronger than before.
In the past two hundred years, although the Shen family had not participated in frontline wars and had been recuperating, their gains in the early years of the war were substantial. With the vast resources they had acquired, the Shen family's foundation had become even more robust.
'Sigh, the road ahead is still long. It's far too early for my Song family to become complacent...'
As he sighed inwardly, the energy tides surging on the continent below began to gradually weaken, indicating that most of the tens of thousands of clansmen on the continent had already begun their ascension.
Under his control, the astonishing Skygale of Tianxu did not appear directly but was quickly recalled. Afterward, Song Chi activated the space law within his body and headed toward the underground passage of the continent below.
Piloting the Skygale of Tianxu would be too conspicuous. With the ship's captain approaching twenty thousand kilometers in length, if it appeared, the clansmen on the continent would likely guess it was him.
...
Deep within the core of the Azure Floating Continent, in the space of the continent's source core.
Buzz!
A faint spatial wave from behind caused Song Yan to turn around immediately.
However, upon seeing that it was Song Chi, the hint of vigilance that had just risen in his eyes instantly dissipated, transforming into unconcealable joy.
"Seventh Brother, you've emerged from seclusion..."
Song Chi nodded, then turned his gaze to the miniature fiery-red warship hovering silently above the continent's source core.
"Congratulations, Brother. With the Liyane Zhouhai ascending to a Star Destroyer, we only need your breakthrough in Guidance Technique, and our Song family will officially possess three Star Destroyers. No matter how many envious eyes there are, we will have nothing to fear!"
Hearing his congratulations, Song Yan's eyes lit up with even greater joy.
It's understandable that the successful ascension of the Liyane Zhouhai as a star-annihilating warship also meant that his Guidance Technique breakthrough to the seventh grade was within reach. The thought of the incredibly long lifespan of over 100,000 years for a seventh-grade star-annihilating warship captain was enough to stir anyone's emotions.
However, Song Yan seemed to have thought of something else and sighed, "Thank you, Seventh Brother. Unfortunately, my luck this time wasn't great. With the help of the Blood Chalice and a large amount of special, additional ascension resources, as well as the energy tide of the Azure Floating Continent, the success rate of the Liyane Zhouhai's ascension skyrocketed to 78%. Yet, it still didn't succeed on the first try!"
Hearing this, Song Chi also felt sorry for his older brother. Using the Time Fruit ahead of time would significantly increase the difficulty of his future attempt to ascend to the eighth-grade star river warship.
But there was nothing they could do about it; luck was unpredictable. After comforting each other, Song Chi asked, "By the way, Big Brother, what is this Blood Chalice you mentioned?"
When Song Chi was talking to Song Shixing earlier, his focus was on the Royal Title, so Song Shixing hadn't mentioned the Blood Chalice.
After Song Yan's explanation, Song Chi's eyes lit up.
The Blood Chalice would undoubtedly be useful for his future attempt to ascend to the star river warship. Although it could only absorb the sacred blood of eighth-grade life forms at most, it seemed like a limitation, but who could easily kill a ninth-grade sovereign? If one could casually kill even a ninth-grade sovereign, then why worry about the ascension to a star river warship? So, this restriction was almost non-existent.
Moreover, if there were any unexpected situations in the future, there were still solutions. Song Chi could try to obtain a ninth-grade Golden Apple, allowing the Blood Chalice to evolve into a black-quality item, and everything would naturally become much easier.
Without further thought on the matter, Song Chi chatted with his older brother Song Yan for a while before taking the initiative to leave.
The Liyane Zhouhai had just completed its ascension, and Song Yan needed to enter closed-door cultivation to attempt a breakthrough in his Guidance Technique.
After leaving the Earth's Core Space, Song Chi didn't rush to depart but instead went to another location on the Azure Floating Continent.
...
Azure Floating Continent, Qianjiao Ridge.
As the second-best energy tide gathering place on the Azure Floating Continent, next to the Earth's Core Space, Qianjiao Ridge naturally attracted many Song family members.
The newest, smallest, and most talked-about book will be released soon!
Among the dozens of ascending family members, some were family prodigies, while others were high-ranking descendants of the clan. It could be said that those gathered here for ascension formed a circle of the family's future power structure.
"Congratulations on your ascension, Brother Yu!"
"Congratulations to everyone. It's great that no one failed their ascension this time!"
...
"The family has already done so much for us. If we still... No, be careful. There's an unknown presence..."
In the communication group of dozens of warships, the strongest member, whose warship had just ascended to a battleship, suddenly shouted a warning.
Upon hearing this, the surrounding family members didn't doubt for a moment. The outer layers of their warships glowed with spiritual energy, immediately preparing for defense.
The speaker was Song Yichuan, the oldest among them, but his warship's combat power was exceptional. He was once part of the family's direct lineage hundreds of years ago and had a formidable brother at the level of an invincible warship captain. Over the past hundreds of years, he had followed the family's main fleet to participate in frontline wars in the civilized world multiple times, making him much more sensitive to crises than the others.
In fact, the spatial waves that soon appeared above Qianjiao Ridge also proved the accuracy of his words.
However, when they saw the figure that had appeared out of thin air above them, the dozens of people who had been cautious soon relaxed.
"Yichuan pays his respects to Uncle Song Chi!"
"Greetings, Ancestor Song Chi!"
As an idol to many of the Song family's younger generation, Song Chi's appearance was naturally familiar to many of them. So, when Song Chi appeared without hiding his face, they quickly recognized him.
Song Chi smiled and nodded.
"It's great that no one failed their ascension, but we can't become complacent because of this!"
After a brief conversation, Song Chi's gaze turned to a Zhu Lu warship.
The owner of this Zhu Lu warship was none other than Song Hanyu. After nearly two hundred years, the little guy who was ten years old back then had successfully ascended his warship to a Zhu Lu warship and would soon officially become a Zhu Lu warship captain.
After that, Song Chi took Song Hanyu away for a private conversation.
The reason for Song Chi's visit to the Azure Floating Continent this time was not only to see his older brother Song Yan but also mainly to meet his son.
After years of not seeing each other, Song Hanyu was initially a bit restrained. However, with the ten years of companionship they had in the beginning, Song Hanyu's tone soon became familiar and warm under Song Chi's guidance.
"Father, Mother went to the warfront over a hundred years ago. In these years, we've only met a few times through the Xushi. Please go and bring Mother back; the front line is still too dangerous..."
"Hanyu, your mother is also a member of the Song family now. Your idea is not right..."
...
After reconnecting with his son, Song Chi finally summoned a fourth-grade divine bird.
"This is the Shining Eye Bird. Hanyu, your understanding of the law is already quite high, but before your ascension, you can still try to further improve it."
"Don't resist. I will let this fourth-grade Shining Eye Bird sign a Shining Eye Blood Oath with you. Then, you will gain the Double Pupil."
This Shining Eye Bird was bred by the Song family in collaboration with the Green Hill Guild. Although its scale wasn't large yet, Song Chi could still manage to get one for himself.
Soon, Song Hanyu, who had successfully signed the Shining Eye Blood Oath with the Shining Eye Bird, began his closed-door cultivation. With the addition of the fourth-grade Double Pupil, he had to seize the time to further enhance his understanding of the law before breaking through to the fourth grade, so he could gain the most benefits after ascending to the fourth grade.
After taking care of these matters, Song Chi finally left the Dragon Spine Continent.
Borrowing the Projection Tomb of the Virtual Sea, he set up a spatial anchor point on the other side and directly teleported there.
The Projection Tomb of the Virtual Sea, combined with the Universal Xushi, was so unreasonable. In fact, when Song Chi returned to the Dragon Spine Continent earlier, he had already set up a spatial anchor point in the old ancestor's warship on the front line. However, if he teleported there directly, his spiritual energy would need to be sealed by the Dinghai Longxiang for 24 hours, which Song Chi didn't want. That's why he had to choose this method.
Song Chi appeared just as the Eleventh Fleet was about to capture a seventh-grade floating continent, and the Song family members expressed their warmest congratulations on his return.
