National Star Sea Era...

Chapter 761 The Effect of Time Source Crystal

Time speeds up.

Moreover, it can accelerate the time of the strange objects in the star sea.

To put it simply, this [Time Source Crystal] is actually more like a consumable cooldown reduction resource.

With just a tiny bit, a certain specific effect of a star sea artifact that has been in cooling down can be autonomously accelerated according to the user's wishes.

For example, take the [Shell of the Sky-Swallowing Python] that was fused into the core of the Dragon Spine Continent's floating land origin. Its [Shell of Mythology] effect was previously used to sublimate the [Ring of Heavenly Power Control], and it will take another 2,300 years for it to cool down again.

This is obviously too long a time, both for the Song family, which has only been established for more than 5,000 years, and for Song Chi himself.

The key point is that although [Time Chessboard] and [Posha Meditation Seal] both have the effect of accelerating cooling, that is based on the transformation of the Xinhuo ship body. Once they are transformed into shipborne components, they cannot be effective against alien objects. This is the unsolvable point.

If you can get this [Time Source Crystal] in front of you, all the above difficulties can be easily solved.

As far as Song Chi knows, the effect of this [Time Source Crystal] is extremely good. Every gram can ignore the difference in the quality of the rare objects. Whether it is in the form of an ordinary star sea rare object or a shipborne component, it can constantly reduce the cooling time of the specified effect/characteristic by one standard year.

The [Time Source Crystal] in the wooden box in front of us weighs at least two kilograms, and its value is astonishing.

In an instant, thousands of thoughts flashed through Song Chi's mind. Before he could speak, the man who was half-kneeling respectfully in front of him continued:

“Sir, this thing was obtained by me in the starry sky a hundred years ago. Although I don’t know what kind of mineral it is, when I got it by accident, I found it in the remains of the dried bones of a giant starry sky beast.

I don’t know how many years have passed, even the corpse of the dominant star beast has turned into dry bones, but it is still shining, so I conclude that its value must be very high. Today, I would like to present this thing to you, my Lord!"

The man spoke in a firm voice, and after hearing what he said, most of the captains who also couldn't recognize the thing were fine, but the eyes of the other star destroyer captains who also followed Song Chi's steps flickered, and they were deeply moved.

A [Time Source Core] of this weight, if converted, would definitely not be worth less than a black ultimate component. Even if there were any special components in hand, its value could be even higher, possibly comparable to a colored component.

Faced with such temptation, even though some captains were intimidated by Song Chi's identity as the King of the Sky, some were eager to act.

Song Chi, who also understood the value of this, would not give the star destroyer captains behind him a chance, and quickly said:

"This item is called [Time Source Crystal]. It is a rare resource that ranks high among super-strategic resources. It is extremely valuable. Are you sure you want to give it to me?"

As the plain voice sounded, the space beside Song Chi flashed, and a blood-red figure about two meters tall appeared out of thin air.

Although this figure is not much taller than Song Chi himself, the moment they saw it appear, the pupils of the somewhat agitated star destroyer captains behind Song Chi suddenly shrank, and the words they were about to say were blocked in their throats, and there was silence in the field.

"The rumors about the Ninth-Rank Asura King are actually true!"

"How can an immortal family with only a few thousand years of inheritance be so worthy of a ninth-level slave creature? Or was it really created by this [King of the Sky] alone?"

"How is that possible? As far as I know, even a colorful mythical quality slave component must be strengthened to level 100 before it can be used to enslave a ninth-order master. A star destroyer simply cannot meet the basic requirements..."

"Unless it is a god-level slavery feature such as "Great Enhancement of Slavery Authority"!"

"Is it possible that this is an extra reward bestowed by the four Human Emperors for the great contribution made in the previous Civilization War?"

"That's not right. For that contribution, the four emperors have already bestowed five super rewards in person."

……

In a short period of time, various speculations emerged in the minds of dozens or nearly a hundred star destroyer captains present.

Most of them felt it was hard to believe, while a small number speculated whether it was related to the Four Emperors of Xinhuo.

But no matter how they guessed, Song Chi obviously would not explain it himself. His eyes were still on the middle-aged man in front of him.

"My Lord, I am sure of it!"

"it is good!"

Hearing the man's firm answer again, a smile appeared in Song Chi's eyes.

Through some means, he already knew the identity of the person in front of him.

Born as a native human of the Tianma Continent, he was naturally inferior to the captain of the Xinhuo Ancestral Domain. Even so, he still became a grassroots officer of the Xinhuo City Patrol Team decades ago. This shows that his ability is definitely not bad.

You should know that even among the grassroots officers, more than 95% have always been captains from the Xinhuo ancestral domain. To be able to enter this class as a native captain of the Tianma Continent, in addition to the necessary individual warships, interpersonal relationships, and the ability to make choices are also essential.

Apart from anything else, the other party's unhesitating decision at this moment is enough to illustrate this point.

In this situation where one has already fallen into the center of the vortex, any further hesitation would only increase resentment and would not be of any benefit. Song Chi decisively chose to do this. He did not know anything else, but what he was sure of was that the other party had at least aroused his considerable interest.

Reaching out to grab the eye-catching [Time Source Crystal], Song Chi seemed to be unaware of the many strange looks coming from the surroundings. After putting it away casually, he said:

"I have accepted the things. As a reward, do you want anything?"

Since the other party has firmly chosen him, and this [Time Source Crystal] will also be of great use to him, Song Chi will not be stingy with his reward.

The man was obviously prepared, and when he heard the question, he responded immediately.

"Thank you, sir. I have only one request. The once-in-a-century [Xinhuo Zuyu Teleport] is coming soon. I would like to ask for three places. As for the rest, I will leave it to you, sir!"

The man's answer was perfect.

Even though he only made a small request for a spot in the ancestral domain teleportation, while making it clear that he was not greedy, he also cleverly sent the initiative back to Song Chi.

As for the question of whether or not one will suffer losses as a result?

With so many star destroyer captains present, many of them know the true value of this [Time Source Crystal]. As a genius of the civilization of the Xinhuo Ancestral Domain, how could Song Chi take advantage of such a thing?

Although Song Chi knew this very well, he did not object to it.

Because the other party knows how to advance and retreat, and is smart, he will achieve something in time.

He thought about it for a while, and then whispered in front of everyone:
"The quota for teleportation to the ancestral domain is simple, but you need to bring the people here for me to personally check. Although you are also direct descendants of my Xinhuo humans, you were born in this foreign land after all. The connection between the Xinhuo seeds in your ancestral orifices and my Xinhuo human source seed network is too weak, and you are more susceptible to direct control by the mind. You must be absolutely killed!"

"Besides that, let me ask you, what color is your fire seed now?"

"Back to my Lord, Orange!"

Swish!

As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, the light between Song Chi's eyebrows flashed twice in succession.

Two balls of light, one red and one silver, burst out from the Fire Ancestral Orifice and hovered in front of the man.

"These two are the red upgraded fire source and the silver upgraded fire source. To avoid any more trouble, just use them directly!"

"Understood, thank you sir!"

Compared to the fleeting excitement in the middle-aged man's eyes, most of the low- and middle-ranking Xinhuo captains watching in the square in front were swallowing their saliva subconsciously.

The red and silver upgraded fire sources were what most of the captains present dreamed of getting, but now they appeared right before their eyes.

At that moment, all kinds of thoughts emerged in the minds of a large number of captains, including some dark thoughts.

However, Song Chi's next words instantly dispelled everyone's thoughts.

With nearly a hundred star destroyer captains from the ancestral domain in front of him, who would dare to act rashly?

With Song Chi's personal care, the middle-aged man naturally had no worries, and it didn't take long before he absorbed the two upgraded fire sources one after another.

When he opened his eyes with joy, Song Chi moved again.

He took out two items again, but this time they were not rare items from the Star Sea, but two special spiritual fruits.

"These two spiritual fruits are the fourth and fifth level [Time Realm Fruits] respectively. When you attack the battleship and dreadnought in the future, they can give you a second chance to attack that ship."

Before the man could open his mouth to thank him, five rays of light shot out from the ancestral orifice between Song Chi's eyebrows.

Among the five rays of light there are three gold and two silver.

They are one piece each of golden hull armor, energy shield, and ship-borne engine.

The two silver parts are a super main gun and a sky patrol radar.

This can be said to be a complete set of basic components, plus two [Time Realm Fruits]. In addition, he also took out a sum of strengthening resources and gave them to the other party.

After taking all these items, although the middle-aged man was quite shrewd, an expression of ecstasy still appeared on his face involuntarily.

"I am Shi Ge, thank you, sir. I will personally send the three juniors to your residence as soon as possible!"

……

After carefully putting away all the things, especially the two [Time Realm Fruits], Shi Ge once again expressed his gratitude loudly.

However, what he did not notice was that as he put away all the things, many hidden and greedy glances flashed across the crowd of people watching the fun.

Those glances were all from fifth-order or even sixth-order dreadnought captains. Although they concealed it fairly well, nothing could escape Song Chi's double pupils.

It is conceivable that after today, when the heat here has died down, there will surely be a large number of captains secretly eyeing Shi Ge.

Thinking of this, Song Chi narrowed his eyes slightly.

The next second, a terrifying life pressure emanated from the body of the Ashura King beside him, and all the captains present trembled at the same time.

It was as if an endless mountain was pressing down on their shoulders. In just a few seconds, all the captains felt as if they were on the verge of collapse. Even though the strength of the people present varied, it did not have any effect.

Because of Song Chi's intention, the pressure emitted by the Asura King was not consistent. The lower the life level, the lower the oppression suffered, and vice versa. This made everyone feel basically the same at the moment.

Just as the star destroyer captains behind him were somewhat puzzled, a cold voice came from Song Chi's mouth:
"All of these things were given by this king. If anyone dares to take them by force in the future, no matter if the perpetrator flees to the ends of the earth or the starry sky, or if he still holds on to his status, this king will pursue him to the end and exterminate his entire clan and his bloodline!"

The cold voice echoed over the entire Xinhuo City for a long time. However, the person involved, Song Chi, left quietly after the words were spoken. The fluctuations in space gently passed by, and he disappeared from everyone's sight.

……

Zhutian Market, free stall area.

The captain was reduced to the main control room inside the Tianxu Cangqiong, which was several hundred meters large.

Since returning to the market, Song Chi summoned out the Tianxu Cangqiong as soon as possible and did not pay attention to what happened before.

Logically speaking, the deal had been completed, and he shouldn't bother with those trivial matters. The reason why he took the initiative to speak out in a deterrent manner was actually very simple.

Shigo is quite capable. In his opinion, as long as nothing unexpected happens, he will most likely achieve something in the future. Although he cannot become a galaxy captain or even a super-dimensional captain, it should not be difficult for him to become an ultimate fearless captain.

Based on this point, he did not want any accidents to occur because of this transaction with himself.

An extreme fearless captain is nothing to the entire Xinhuo human civilization, but Xinhuo human civilization is made up of such captains. If Xinhuo human civilization wants to go further, or even step into the forefront of hegemonic civilizations in the future, it must start with such small things.

Today he has preserved such a good seedling, and others will do the same tomorrow, and more people will join in the day after. Over time, among these growing good seedlings there may emerge a legendary figure who will ascend to the myth and finally lead the entire human civilization to the top of the Broken Star Sea.

……

In the battleship's main control room, Song Chi stood in front of the [Chicang's No. 004 Cultivation Secret Realm] component.

If before this, he was still a little confused about which part to use this ninth-level [Golden Apple] on, then after trading for the ninth-level [Star-Eating Vine Heart] today, he no longer had any hesitations in his heart.

As he stretched out his right hand, the ninth-level [Golden Apple] that he had just obtained quickly merged with the golden ship secret realm component.

As time passed, the golden light kept flickering in the cabin. After an unknown amount of time, the shining golden light suddenly dissipated. Not long after, the familiar light of eternal darkness began to emerge.

Looking at the [Chicang's No. 004 Cultivation Secret Realm] component at this time, its properties have changed significantly.

However, before using the ninth-level [Star-Eating Vine Heart], he first strengthened it to level 90, so that the effect of the ninth-level [Star-Eating Vine Heart] could be maximized.

Features: Plant growth speed increased by 440%
Feature 2: The success rate of allogeneic plant transplantation is increased by 80%
Feature 3: Secret Realm Accelerator

Feature 6: Perfect Universal Law

Consumption: 3400/s (psi energy points)

Effect: After loading, the secret realm will be completely bound to the battleship and turned into a secret realm with the ship, which can be entered and exited at will.

……

{Perfect cosmic laws: This ship's secret realm is a cosmic secret realm, and the laws bred within the secret realm are flawless.}
Song Chi's attention was more focused on the newly derived sixth characteristic. This characteristic was still not prepared by him, but was derived autonomously after the components evolved.

Although it does not have the characteristics that can generate direct value, it is undoubtedly the most desired characteristic for Song Chi.

Before this, he was not willing to raise any biological groups such as the [Double-Ming Divine Bird] or the [Ancient Demon] in this secret realm for cultivation. Only plants like the [Time Realm Tree], [Silver Apple Mother Tree], and [Golden Apple Mother Tree] that were transplanted from the outside world and whose own laws had already been established, would he feel at ease to place them in the secret realm.

One of the reasons is certainly that it requires a lot of resources, but the more important reason is that there are problems with the laws of the secret realm itself.

The flaw in the rules of the secret realm means that the upper limit of the creatures that grow up in it will be locked. If it is an ordinary biological population, it is okay, but the Chongming Divine Bird and the Ancient Monster themselves are creatures with extremely high genetic bloodline potential. If they are cultivated normally, they will have infinite potential. It is obviously very stupid to actively lock their upper limit.

With the advent of this new feature, this will no longer be a problem in the future.

This also means that he will try to significantly speed up the cultivation of these two biological populations in the family, but he still does not have much hope for the Chongming Divine Bird.

After all, these divine birds from the Fairyland Continent never lack time, but their own chances of conceiving are too small, and each time they give birth to offspring, there is a high probability that there will only be one. Their genetic bloodline level has almost reached the ceiling, and this is the price they must bear.

After finishing these, Song Chi looked at the other parts in his hand.

Black [Mixed Hole Particle Cannon]

Black [Resurrection Medal]

Black [Eternal Fire Hibernation Chamber]

He directly put away the [mixed hole particle cannon]. This was a star destroyer cannon that he prepared for the subsequent upgrade of the Tianxu Cangqiong.

Once a star destroyer is promoted to a galaxy ship, not only will an additional galaxy cannon slot be added, but the number of star destroyer cannon slots will also increase to two. Right now, he has not found a suitable galaxy cannon. The family does have two, but the highest quality is black, and to be honest, he doesn't think highly of them.

I didn’t think much about it, that happened later.

Song Chi replaced the [Atomic Repair Device], and then installed the [Medal of Resurrection] and [Eternal Fire Hibernation Chamber] one after another, and then strengthened them to level 90 one after another.

Eternal Fire Hibernation Chamber lv90
