National Star Sea Era...

Chapter 781 [The Secret Art of Fighting the Sky] and [Mythical Chaos Demon Ape]

Song Chi's fingertips tapped lightly on the console, and his deep eyes were reflected on the metal surface.

The conditions offered by Botian's will were so generous that they were suffocating - hatching the Botian bloodline with eighth-level combat power on the spot, allowing slavery and control, plus the mirror cube, the mythical ancestor blood and the legendary chaotic wonder "High Dimension Sea".

It can be said that this was definitely something he had never thought of before.

So after a brief silence, his voice came from the mirror battleship.

"I can promise you, but I need to confirm a few details."

The voice echoed in the cabin, so calm that it didn't sound like they were discussing a deal that could change the fate of human civilization.

The purple giant egg in the chaotic beam trembled slightly, and the response of Botian's will was like an echo from ancient times:
"explain!"

"First, regarding the method of enslavement after the blood egg is hatched. I need to ensure that the means of control are absolutely reliable and will not be released by any external force."

Song Chi's eyes were as sharp as knives, staring straight at the beam of light ahead.

"Second, can we pinpoint the exact time frame of the ruins' collapse?"

"Third, what is the specific level of combat power of the so-called 'certain self-defense capability' branch?"

The purple light in the beam suddenly fluctuated violently, as if a sensitive nerve was touched.

What followed was silence that lasted for dozens of seconds. It was not until more than a minute later that Bo Tianyi spoke again, and there was a hint of fatigue in his voice that Song Chi had never heard before.

"Human, you are more difficult than I thought."

As he finished speaking, a ray of colorful light suddenly separated from the chaotic beam of light, and then condensed into a strange yellowed scroll in the air.

"This is a one-time colorful mythical artifact, the Eternal Slavery Agreement, that was pulled into the ruins by the High Dimension Sea long ago. You can sign a slavery agreement with it. Unless you take the initiative to cancel it in the future, even the mythical existence cannot be easily deciphered."

Song Chi's gaze fell on the slavery scroll, his eyes shining. What remained in the mirror battleship was a fragment of his soul, not some brain wave imprint. Therefore, he was very clear about the authenticity of the slavery scroll in front of him.

[Strange Item: Eternal Slavery Agreement]

[Quality: Color/Ultra-High]

[Convertible: None]

[Unique Effect: {Eternal Slavery}]

[Note: A one-time slavery agreement artifact that seems to come from the Eternals. With both parties willing, a contract with binding force as high as the mythical limit can be concluded.]

Although it is a one-time rare item, its quality and the rare item notes cannot be wrong, and its value is inestimable.

"As for the collapse of the ruins," Botian Yizhi continued, "the most pessimistic estimate is 24,000 years, and the most optimistic is 45,000 years. It depends on how fast those mythical beings erode the origin of the secret realm."

As he spoke, this mysterious being used some unknown means, and a holographic projection suddenly unfolded in front of Song Chi's soul without any warning.

The holographic projection was showing dense energy tentacles surrounding the ruins - they were the marks of power from at least twenty different mythological entities, gnawing at the foundation of the secret realm of the universe like a cancer.

"And the branch combat power..."

Botian Yishi's voice suddenly became a little erratic, and he paused for a moment before giving his final reply.

"At least one team must have a ninth-level commander, and two teams must have an eighth-level commander. This standard will be clearly marked in the contract."

Song Chi narrowed his eyes, and a hint of ugliness flashed across his eyes.

The ninth level is an existence second only to mythology. There are only a little over ten of them in the entire human civilization. It is conceivable how difficult it is to cultivate a branch of this level before the next ruins are opened.

However, despite the great pressure, Song Chi nodded and agreed after thinking for a while.

"can!"

With his agreement, it also meant that the deal between the two parties was officially reached. However, Song Chi seemed to remember something in the end. Before Botian's will took the initiative to send the [Chaos Mirror Stone Cube] and [Blood of the Mythological Ancestor], including the [Botian Secret Art Inheritance Monument] below, into the mirror battleship, he tentatively added a little more.

"Well, you should be very clear about the situation I faced before. What I want to ask is, when the ruins are closed later, is there a way to teleport my warship to a relatively safe area?"

“The Chaos Demon Ape, Overlord Shi Clan, Mountain Splitter Clan, and Nether Soul Clan are all mythical civilizations. If we are blocked by them, the Botian bloodline on the battleship will be greatly threatened!”

The implication of these words was very clear, and Song Chi had nothing to be embarrassed about. As long as it could reduce the danger, being a little thick-skinned was nothing.

In comparison, Botian's will's response was much simpler. It seemed that it was not surprised by this and had even made arrangements for it.

"I have my own arrangements for this."

After that, the three items were pulled into the mirror battleship one after another by the chaos beam.

There is no need to explain much about [Chaos Mirror Stone Cube] and [Mythical Ancestor Blood].

Song Chi's gaze was mainly focused on the secret technique inheritance monument.

Along with the faint glow emanating from the stone tablet, Song Chi captured the patterns of various laws of time, space, gold, fire, etc. on it at just one glance. It was obvious that the secret arts recorded on this secret arts inheritance tablet included thousands of secret arts, and it was not the secret art inheritance of a specific law.

When he looked closer, he discovered that this secret inheritance monument was actually a three-dimensional matrix composed of countless tiny runes, and each rune emitted a heart-pounding energy fluctuation.

Without the guidance of Botian's will, the three perfect laws of time, space and light in Song Chi's body manifested one after another. Under the guidance of these three original laws that have entered the level of the road of laws, the [Botian Secret Art Inheritance Monument] in front of him began to show wisps of mysterious patterns.

In an instant, a vast stream of information poured into his sea of ​​consciousness like a flood. Deep in the ancestral orifice of the fire, the black tortoise's phantom was surrounded by colorful light, filtering out any dangerous elements that might exist in it.

At the same time, Song Chi quickly received many messages about powerful inherited secret techniques.

[Secret Technique·Batiantai: Anyone with a perception of any law of no less than 0.1% can practice it.]

[Secret Technique: Fighting Heaven Palm: You can practice this only if your understanding of any law is at least 10%.]

[Secret Technique·Betrayal God King Visualization Method: Refer to the inheritance monument, all living beings can practice it. ]

……

[Secret Art: Black Universe, Mysterious Universe: You can only try to practice if your understanding of the laws of time and space is not lower than the level of the Road of Laws.]

Beside his ears, the reminder sounds of the replica Qiongtian Intelligent Brain rang continuously, but at this moment Song Chi had no time to pay attention to them.

While concentrating on examining this [Botian Secret Art Inheritance Monument], his consciousness was also pulled into a strange space, where he seemed to be personally experiencing the glorious and brilliant days of the Botian Clan - those giant beasts that shook the sky and the earth, those warships that shuttled through dimensions, and those mythical beings that reshaped the galaxy with a wave of their hands...

He didn't know how much time had passed, but when he turned around again, everything seemed as if nothing had happened, and he was still inside the mirror battleship.

But Song Chi vaguely knew that everything that had just happened was not an illusion, but the will of Bo Tian used special magical powers to let him experience all of this in an instant.

The other party had no ill intentions, he just simply wanted him to know more about the history of the Botian clan. Under such influence, he would pay more attention to the bloodline inheritance of the Botian clan in the future.

After this, strange things happened in the outside world again.

A golden light flashed, and the giant purple egg suspended in the chaotic beam of light suddenly made a crisp shattering sound.

"Back off!" Bo Tianyi shouted.

While controlling the mirror battleship to retreat quickly, Song Chi's eyes were fixed on the [Botian Blood Egg].

As the purple eggshell slowly shattered, the mythical [Heart of the Ancient Tree of Life] not far away also began to tremble slowly.

Under the guidance of Botian's will, this mythical [Heart of the Ancient Tree of Life] suddenly turned into a green torrent at a certain moment. Along the cracks on the purple giant egg, this tremendous torrent of life energy was injected into the egg body.

A dazzling light burst out, the entire space was shaking, and the energy was boiling.

When the light faded, a humanoid creature with purple wings on its back was suspended in the air. It was about two meters tall, with its body covered with translucent purple scales. It had a single horn on its forehead and eyes as deep as two miniature black holes.

"Is this the Botian clan?" Song Chi murmured subconsciously as he sensed the eighth-order life energy fluctuations emanating from the body of this purple-winged humanoid creature.

"No, this is an optimized hybrid form, more suitable for survival in human society." Botian Yizhi explained: "Now, sign the contract."

The [Eternal Slavery Agreement] floated in front of Song Chi, and the terms had all been updated according to the negotiation content.

Song Chi carefully checked each clause, and after confirming that they were correct, he extended his soul consciousness and imprinted his original soul consciousness on it. The moment the original soul consciousness touched the contract, it turned into countless fine threads and entangled Botian's hybrid body. The latter let out a painful roar, but soon calmed down and obediently floated behind Song Chi.

"Transaction completed." Botian's voice suddenly became weak, but it still said word by word:
"Remember your promise, human, the future of the Botian tribe is in your hands..."

Above the starry sky, the chaotic beams of light slowly dissipated, and then Song Chi only felt a violent pulling force acting on the hull of the mirror battleship.

Before he could think too much, the pulling force became stronger and stronger as time went by, and finally the familiar dizziness enveloped him completely.

When the mirror battleship was about to be completely teleported out of the third floor of the ruins, or even the entire ruins space, the final message of Botian's will rang in his ears:

"When you, or the civilization behind you, are ready, you can ask the [Botian Bloodline] to contact me. Then, as long as you have fulfilled the agreement, I will call you back to the ruins and personally hand over the [High Dimension Sea] to you."

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Song Chi to reply, everything in front of him suddenly went dark. When he opened his eyes again, the mirror battleship had returned to the wasteland of Chaos Divine Land.

The mirror battleship was quietly hovering in the low sky, and not far away to the side was a chaotic sea.

Half a minute later, Song Chi's soul in the battleship's main control room determined the location under his feet. This was a very ordinary coastal area 100,000 light years away from the entrance of the Botian ruins.

This Chaos Sea is not small in area, with a diameter of thousands of light years, but there is no high-level [Chaos City] nearby.

After confirming this, Song Chi made the replica of [Three Realms and Five Elements Certificate] effective again as quickly as possible, and then he turned his attention to the purple figure behind him.

Although he is only two meters tall and does not emit any aura, he looks harmless.

But this is only its initial form when it actively converges. If it really enters the combat form, not only its size, but also its combat power can reach the limit of the eighth level, or even half a step to the ninth level.

Perhaps noticing his gaze, the mixed-blood Botian behind him knelt on one knee, making a sound like metal friction:

"Master, please give me a name."

Song Chi looked at this person who was probably the only one of the Botian Clan born in the Chaos Divine Continent. After thinking for a moment, he said softly:

"From today on, your name is Zi Huan."

"Zihuan, thank you for the name, Master!"

Deep in the void above the Chaos Sea, the main control room of the mirror battleship.

Song Chi stared at Zi Huan who was kneeling in front of him, or more specifically, at Zi Huan who was in fighting form.

Its entire body is covered with purple scales emitting a deep glow, the single horn on its forehead flickers with a chaotic light, and the eighth-level life breath is hidden in its perfect body. With just one order, it will be able to unleash a thunderous attack in the shortest time.

"Get up." Song Chi said softly.

Zi Huan stood up straight, his two-meter-tall body cast a shadow, and his eyes like black holes stared directly at Song Chi. There were no pupils, but they made people feel the chill of being completely seen through.

At this moment, a quick reminder came from the replica of the [Eye of Truth] on one side.

Turning around, the radar map clearly showed that a strong energy fluctuation was spreading from the southwest.

And that direction is exactly where the remains of the Botian clan are located.

As if to verify this, Zi Huan's voice soon sounded.

"Master, I sense a strong energy fluctuation in the southwest direction."

Zi Huan's voice was like the resonance of metal. After he finished speaking, he continued:
"Suspected Chaos Node Outbreak."

'Chaos Node?'

Song Chi raised his eyebrows. Chaos nodes are natural phenomena unique to the Chaos God Land. They are usually caused by the repeated squeezing and collision of a large amount of chaotic energy. When they erupt, precious chaos crystals will gush out, but basically only explorers above level seven have the ability to get close.

"Can you confirm the level?"

Song Chi frowned and asked in a calm voice.

"Eighth level, elementary, climbing to intermediate level." Zi Huan's answer was clear and concise: "According to the inherited memory, a node of this size has a 73% chance of being accompanied by a high-level Star Sea Wonder or a special-grade Chaos Crystal."

Hearing this, Song Chi felt no emotion at all.

Be it the starry sea wonders or the chaos crystals, they are certainly precious, but for the mirror battleship at the moment, these are not important. Song Chi’s only task now is to return to [Human Emperor City] safely as soon as possible.

Under his control, the mirror battleship did not turn to the southwest, but headed directly in the direction of the [Human Emperor City].

At the same time, he was curious and tried to get more information about the Botian clan from Zihuan. He was very interested in this top clan that was once extremely glorious but weakened in a short period of time, and even had its inheritance completely cut off.

Unfortunately, Zihuan, the newborn, has fragmented memories of his tribe and can only remember a few vague images.

Countless members of the Botian tribe lined up in the starry sky, facing some unspeakable enemy. Originally, the two sides were fighting back and forth, but at a certain moment, a riot broke out in the Botian tribe's team, and the originally balanced battle situation was instantly broken, and then it became a one-sided situation.

Just when Song Chi wanted to continue asking something else, the sky behind him was suddenly dyed a strange purple-red color, and then an energy tornado with a diameter of light years connected the sky and the earth, and the surrounding space was quickly twisted into a vortex.

"Warning! Strong energy reaction detected!"

The Sky Intelligent Computer issued an alarm immediately.

"The current energy intensity has exceeded the middle stage of the eighth stage and is rapidly rising towards the late stage of the eighth stage!"

Song Chi just felt that something was wrong. The energy storm was extremely far away, but he could still roughly determine that it was the area where the Botian ruins were located.

Before he could speak, Zi Huan behind him suddenly stood up:

"Master, it's not a Chaos Node, it's something trying to descend from the Chaos Void!"

As if to confirm its words, the energy tornado exploded, and a dark hole emerged from the depths of the sky above the Chaos Divine Land.

A pair of giant claws covered with black hair stretched out from the hole, tearing the hole apart and expanding it.

"Is that a dragon claw?" Zi Huan widened his eyes.

Song Chi's soul-splitting pupils shrank, his body trembled faintly, and his hair stood on end: "It's not a Chaos Demon Ape! A Mythical Chaos Demon Ape!"

Just as he finished speaking, a giant head that was even bigger than the Chaos Mountains popped out from the black hole in the void.

Monkey face, black hair, eyes burning with blood-red flames. Just one look made Song Chi, who was at an infinite distance away, feel as if he was falling into an icy cave.

"Definitely a mythical Chaos Demon Ape."

"We must evacuate immediately!"

Song Chi's voice was a little hoarse, but his reaction was not slow. The mirror battleship vibrated violently, and colorful light shone in the main control room. The replica of the [Three Realms and Five Elements Certificate], a colorful superior component, was activated without hesitation.

Reproduction of [Three Realms and Five Elements Certificate] "Beyond the Three Realms and not in the Five Elements"!
With the activation of this feature, the hull of the mirrored battleship suddenly turned from real to virtual, and the entire battleship entered a state of nothingness.

Afterwards, Song Chi activated the "Red Sky Jump" feature of the [Red Sky Jump Device].

The original jump limit distance of this feature exceeded six million light years, but under the ten thousand times suppression of the Chaos Continent, it was only a pitiful six hundred light years.

Fortunately, in addition to the [Red Dome Jump Device], the mirror battleship also has a jump component called [Space Jumper].

The two cooperated with each other, and the fact that the mirror battleship was more than 100,000 light-years away from the Botian Ruins Mountain Range, and with the cover of the [Three Realms and Five Elements Certificate], they were able to escape without any danger.

Carefully controlling the mirror battleship towards the Human Emperor City, Song Chi's heart was not as calm as he had imagined.

Because of the secret manipulation of Botian's will, although the mirror battleship left the ruins first, the duration of the ruins itself has not yet ended, and the ships of Meng Yi, Jiang Yi and others are still in the ruins.

Originally they still had a chance to escape unscathed, but with the arrival of the mythical Chaos Ape, this last chance was completely destroyed.

Even though those participating in the operation were all battleship clones, human civilization would not suffer too much loss as a result, but the feeling of aggrieved and powerless in one's heart would be difficult to eliminate.

"I just hope that His Majesty Emperor Jiang can succeed in one fell swoop!"
