National Star Sea Era...

Chapter 802: Post-War Meeting and the Inheritance of the Flame

"Tan Lang, Po Jun, where do you think the thirty-six-winged holy angel came from?"

Above the sky of [Human Emperor City], the battleships of the seven palace masters of [Big Dipper Palace], including several eighth-rank star masters, were quietly hanging high in the sky, and the voices of several people talking were echoing in the battleship communication group chat.

The Lord of Pojun Palace thought for a moment and responded first:
"No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it came from the ancestral domain of the Angel Civilization."

"Is it possible that he was saved by the Buddhists?"

Song Chi provided an idea, but he was obviously not the only one who thought of this possibility.

"If you want to control a mythical creature with the rules of words, then it can only be the eleventh-order ancestor Buddha of the Sakyamuni clan."

"But this doesn't make sense. The thirty-six-winged holy angel was killed by His Majesty Emperor Jiang himself. Later, Emperor Jiang and Lord Green also saw his body with their own eyes. Since they didn't mention this, they must not have found any traces of the Word Spirit Curse."

……

Song Chi was also full of doubts about this. He was not unfamiliar with the various tricks used by the Shi clan.

He had used the power of his double pupils to peek at the body of the holy angel many times before, but had never discovered anything. He originally thought that it was because the level of his double pupils was too low, currently only at the peak of the seventh level, so it was difficult to detect any clues in the body of the thirty-six-winged holy angel. Now it seems that this is obviously not the case.

Just as several people in the group chat were about to continue the discussion, three consecutive bell sounds suddenly came from below.

Knowing that this was the Four Emperors taking the initiative to convene all the captains of Star Destroyers and above to discuss matters, several people did not hesitate and controlled the warships all the way down.

The purpose of this meeting is to summarize the defense of the Human Emperor City and the entire crisis experience of the Xinhuo civilization.

Apart from this, all the martyrs, including all the citizens who bravely sacrificed themselves in this crisis and risked their lives for the entire civilization, should be awarded honors and rewards.

Human Emperor City, Human Emperor Palace.

More than ten thousand figures were gathering on a giant platform deep in the majestic hall. At the top of the hall, Emperor Jiang of Shenxia sat in the center, and the other three emperors sat on his left and right.

The four of them had serious and dignified expressions. Seeing that even the four Human Emperors were like this, naturally no one among the high-ranking captains gathered below dared to communicate casually at this time. The atmosphere in the entire hall was extremely solemn.

Song Chi looked around and confirmed that there were about 15,000 to 16,000 people in the hall, and then no one else entered.

Of course, this does not mean that there are only 16,000 captains of star destroyers and above in the entire Xinhuo civilization. In fact, even if the number cannot be doubled, the difference will not be too much.

After all, apart from the part of the two major river communities in the ancestral domain that needs to be left behind, there are still a certain number of star destroyer captains staying in places like the Abyss and the Star Sea Zerg, including captains exploring alien star regions and traveling far to the Chaos Divine Land. There are still quite a few high-level captains who have not gathered in the Human Emperor City.

Of course, the most important point is the casualties of this battle. As far as he knows, the number of high-ranking captains who have been killed in and around this [Human Emperor City] in the past few thousand years will never be less than four digits.

……

"Everyone, you are the backbone of the entire Xinhuo civilization. You are the absolute force that enables us Xinhuo humans to always maintain sufficient external deterrence. This time when the civilization was ravaged, you did not flinch, nor did you stand idly by. The Human Emperor City was able to hold on in the end, which is inseparable from everyone present."

"Here, on behalf of the trillions of citizens of the entire Xinhuo human race, the four of us express our most heartfelt gratitude to you and all the martyrs who sacrificed their lives in this disaster!"

……

There is no impassioned speech, every word comes from the heart.

After that, Emperor Jiang quickly changed the subject:
"From today on, the news that our Xinhuo human civilization has entered the hegemonic civilization will soon spread throughout the Shattered Star Sea. From now on, [Human Emperor City] will be as solid as a rock and will no longer be disturbed by foreign races!"

"In addition, the civilization has reached a comprehensive cooperation agreement with the wizard civilization. Soon the two sides will jointly open up a new Chaos City. At that time, it will be led by Emperor Ying, Emperor Ji, and Emperor Sheng. All forces willing to participate in this joint action can return to the ancestral domain and go to the four ancestral temples to sign up."

……

Emperor Jiang said a lot about the specific development strategies for subsequent civilizations, including jointly opening up a new Chaos City with the wizard civilization and retaking several previously abandoned civilization fronts.

However, the most important thing is the plan that Emperor Jiang mentioned at the end, which is related to the star region where the Corpse King Clan is located, that is, the river community adjacent to the Xinhuo human river community to the south.

The Xinhuo human river community, the eight-armed snake demon river community, and the corpse king river community.

The relationship between these three river system communities is like three spheres placed side by side, with the Xinhuo human river system community in the middle, the Eight-Armed Snake Demon river system community on the north side, and the Corpse King clan river system community on the south side.

There are three adjacent river communities. Before the human civilization was upgraded to a hegemonic civilization, it was able to swallow up the entire Eight-Armed Snake Demon River Community on its own. How could it give up the Corpse King Clan River Community now?

The various forces of human civilization have just tasted the terrifying amount of resources hidden in an entire river system, and now is the time to get a taste of it. In addition, His Majesty Emperor Jiang has taken the initiative to propose it. How could the star-destroying and galaxy ancestors from various forces in the hall not be jealous?
Even Song Chi's heartbeat quickened at this moment and he could hardly calm down.

However, Emperor Jiang obviously had no intention of dealing with the matter in a hurry. He just mentioned it casually and then skipped it without further discussion.

According to him, now that the Xinhuo human civilization has just entered the ranks of hegemonic civilizations and has just withdrawn from a chaotic war, it is better to prioritize recuperation and stabilization for a period of time. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

After saying this, His Majesty Emperor Jiang finally turned the topic to the final reward, which was also what all the captains were most concerned about.

Inside the [Human Emperor Palace], the atmosphere suddenly became heated.

Emperor Jiang tapped the air with his fingertips, and a dazzling golden light curtain unfolded in the hall, densely recording the merit points of all participants in the battle.

"As usual, the merit exchange list has been updated to the Xinhuo network, and you can check it yourself. But before that..."

Emperor Jiang suddenly changed the subject and with a wave of his sleeves, three balls of light emitting terrifying fluctuations floated in the center of the hall.

"These three items will be given as special rewards to the top three captains on the Merit List."

Song Chi's eyes narrowed, and his double pupils clearly saw that the three light balls contained: a special jade book with the seals of all the four empires' emperors, a wisp of flame emitting colorful light, and... a tenth-level [Golden Apple].

"hiss--"

There was a sound of people sucking in their breath in the hall. The fire that was emitting colorful light was clearly a colorful upgraded fire source that even the super-dimensional captain would envy!

However, what is even more surprising is that the number one on the merit list is not any Human Emperor. None of the four Human Emperors are on the civilization merit list. Nor is it a newly promoted ninth-rank captain under the four Human Emperors, but a Galaxy Captain.

【Xinhuo Civilization Merit List】

[First: Tianxu Cangqiong (Galaxy Ship)——Tanlang Palace Master, Sky King Song Chi]

[Second: Shenyi Qiongyu (Transdimensional Mothership)——Shenxia clan, Shenyi King Jiang Yi]

[Third: Zeus God King (Transdimensional Mothership)——Holy Templar, Silver King Freddy Acklemon]

……

Even Song Chi was somewhat surprised. He had previously roughly estimated that he might be able to make it into the top ten of the Merit List.

After all, they brought the [Truth Mechanical Battle Star], a ninth-order mechanical unit, whose combat power was no weaker than that of the newly promoted super-dimensional mothership. Although it only arrived at the end of the battle, it also played a key role.

In addition, he broke into the bottomless abyss alone and rescued tens of millions of elite fleets. His achievements are definitely not low.

He really didn't expect that he would be able to suppress several super-dimensional captains who had been stationed in [Human Emperor City].

Before the captain in the hall could get confused, Emperor Jiang took the initiative to explain:

"Regarding the candidate for the first place in the merit list, this is the result of a detailed discussion between me, Ying Huang and the other four. As for the specific reasons, you can listen to them..." "The group from Botian Ruins brought back the mission target [Chaos Mirror Stone]. At the critical moment of the promotion of [Shenxia Jiuli], they took out another key component, which won two opportunities for [Shenxia Jiuli] to start over. For this reason, the promotion of [Shenxia Jiuli] did not consume the previously accumulated luck.

The Abyss and his team rescued a fleet of more than 10 million elite soldiers on their own.

The original emperor insect that was summoned before was also provided by him!

At the last critical moment of the battle, he personally brought a ninth-order mechanical battle star to help in time, stabilizing the situation in the Human Emperor City that was about to collapse. "

At this point, Emperor Jiang paused and asked in a rhetorical tone:
"Do you think this Captain Xinghe is qualified to be ranked first on the Merit List?"

……

After hearing this, the captains who were originally feeling uncomfortable in their hearts were speechless for a moment, and no one objected anymore.

Because everything that Emperor Jiang said, if it happened to them, would be a major event that would be enough to rank them in the top three on the merit list.

Seeing that no one expressed any objection, Emperor Jiang turned his gaze to Song Chi.

"Tan Lang, you can freely choose one of these three items."

Song Chi stood up and bowed to express his gratitude, then asked softly:

"Your Majesty Emperor Jiang, may I ask what exactly is the jade book with the four Human Emperor seals?"

As if they had guessed that he would ask this question, Emperor Jiang and the other three looked at each other with a smile, and then took the initiative to display the contents of the jade book.

[Name: The Jade Book of the Emperor of Fire]

[Content: Twenty river systems are demarcated from the territories of the four great empires of the Divine Xia Dynasty, the Immortal Qin Dynasty, the Chiyu Dynasty, and the Holy Hall Federation, totaling eighty river systems. All the luck and fortune gathered in these eighty river systems in the future will belong to the giver.]

[Jade Seals: Divine Xia Emperor Seal, Immortal Qin Divine Seal, Chiyu Divine Seal, Holy Hall Light Seal]

Song Chi looked up, not hiding the confusion in his eyes.

He had just heard the Chaos Demon Ape mention the four words "inheritance of destiny" before, and he really knew nothing about the details.

Seeing his confusion, the four Human Emperors quickly explained.

Two minutes later, Song Chi, who had already understood the key, quickly made a decision.

"Your Majesty, please choose the Human Emperor Jade Book!"

According to the explanations of the four people, he knew very well that this [Human Emperor Jade Book] was specially prepared for him.

When it comes to these eighty river systems, the legacy of the flame and the destiny, we have to start from the [original source of the flame].

As a supreme [Chaos Artifact], constructing a network of seeds of fire and inheriting a system of fire battleships are just some of its effects. In addition, [Fire Luck] is also one of its exclusive effects.

All those who awaken the seeds of the flame, strengthen the flame warships, plunder the resources and civilized species of alien stars, etc., will autonomously generate a force of destiny unique to the flame human civilization, and this is the flame destiny.

Ordinary Fire Battleships have no right to use these Fire fortunes. Only those who possess the highest authority of [Original Fire Source] can mobilize these Fire fortunes that are autonomously generated and gathered by all successfully awakened Fire citizens.

This Xinhuo luck can not only assist the Xinhuo battleship to advance and break through, but can also be transformed into the strongest Xinhuo luck attack, just like the [Xuanyuan Human Emperor Sword] released before, which was the [Shenxia Jiuli] using the [Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array] under the [Human Emperor City], assisted by the Xinhuo luck.

This also includes Jiang Yuan's breakthrough in his own guiding technique, which also benefited from the inheritance of luck.

If not, how could it be such a coincidence that he could achieve a breakthrough in the guiding technique at the last critical moment?
All these Xinhuo fortunes are condensed and generated by the Xinhuo captains in the entire Xinhuo civilization.

As early as the beginning of the creation of civilization, the four Human Emperors had already divided up all the Xinhuo fortune of the entire Xinhuo civilization. The four great empires themselves, including the ordinary Xinhuo states, Xinhuo principalities, Xinhuo kingdoms, etc. that were dependent on them, were all the basic bases for the four Human Emperors to accumulate their own Xinhuo fortune.

Now, Song Chi has successfully obtained the fifth highest authority, and these eighty Xinhuo River systems, plus the Longji Kingdom itself, a total of eighty-two Xinhuo River systems, are the basic base of Xinhuo luck that the four Human Emperors have voluntarily allocated to him.

Compared with the two river system communities in the entire Xinhuo civilization today, with more than 1,800 river systems, the eighty-two river system communities are naturally not even a fraction of them, but Song Chi had no other thoughts, instead he only felt grateful in his heart.

It is no exaggeration to say that the entire Xinhuo human civilization was built step by step by the four human emperors. The destiny of Xinhuo is of great importance. Outsiders are not qualified to tell them what to do.

Even if they were unwilling to divide out any river system, Song Chi would not be dissatisfied. Now that he could get eighty-two river systems for free, it was definitely a huge surprise.

After this incident, the subsequent captains on the merit list also received rewards, but their prizes were somewhat different from those of Song Chi and the other two. What they received were all the corpses of alien races recovered outside the city, including the corpses of the Chaos Beasts killed in the first round of battle.

Needless to say, the corpses of alien races can not only be used to refine source blood, but also like the corpses of Chaos Demon Ape, there is a certain chance of producing additional promotion resources such as Chaos Demon Ape Spirit Bones, which are of great value.

As for the Chaos Beasts, their corpses would produce a variety of resources and rare items, and sometimes additional promotion resources such as [Chaos Blood] would appear. All captains were coveting them, and no one expressed any dissatisfaction.

After the reward distribution was completed, including the Song family fleet, all received a large number of alien corpses.

In the previous city defense battle, a large number of Xinhuo warships were indeed sunk, but compared to the Xinhuo fleet that had the Chaos City Wall as a cover, the Chaos Beasts and Chaos Aliens from the outside world suffered the greatest casualties. A rough estimate is that the casualty ratio of both sides was at the level of dozens to one, which also meant that almost all surviving captains could receive considerable rewards.

……

After the meeting, Song Chi returned to the family team.

Song family core group chat:

"Song Chi: Ancestor, original ancestor...how is it, how much damage did the family suffer in this battle? Was the harvest okay?"

"Song Wujiang: This time, the family has transferred more than two million second-level clansmen and above. Although there have been many rotations, the total number will only increase, not decrease. The current statistics show that it is less than 1.2 million."

"In fact, with the blessing of the Blue Dragon Starry Sky Formation, there are not many actual ship destructions and casualties. It is mainly due to the problem of lifespan."

Hearing this, Song Chi remained silent.

This problem is the key to the headache for low-level captains. Unless they make a breakthrough themselves, no one can solve it.

Even if the clan transferred here only members of the second rank or above, how long is the life span of a second rank captain?

Three hundred years old!
Even a third-rank captain is only six hundred years old.

How long did the defense of the Human Emperor City last? More than two thousand years. How could these low-level captains withstand it?
The good news is that most of the remaining one million captains are the latest batch of rotations, of which more than 600,000 have successfully broken through to the third level, accounting for more than half. Even the remaining hundreds of thousands of second-level captains have basically reached the peak of the second level, and there will surely be another wave of promotion after returning to the ancestral domain.

As for the reason, what is most lacking in the defense of Human Emperor City is high-level alien races. These alien races are not those chaos beasts. Killing them can increase the success rate of battleship promotion. In addition, the four major empires had been prepared before and stockpiled a large number of low-level special promotion materials in the city in advance, which further increased the success rate of low-level battleship promotion.

As long as one is a little luckier and is lucky enough to find a fourth-level or even fifth-level low-health alien during the one year period of the promotion mission, the promotion success rate can be increased by more than 10%. In this case, how can the promotion success rate of the surviving Xinhuo battleship be low?
In addition to these low-level captains, the number of high-level captains of the Song family above level four also skyrocketed, from more than 2,000 people more than 2,000 years ago to more than 6,000 people. Among them, there are more than 500 level 5 battleship captains alone, which is a frightening number.

In addition, Grandpa Song Mingsong, clan elders Song Tianmang and Song Tianhao, father Song Chao, including Song Ze and Song Yichuan, successively upgraded their ships to star destroyers with the assistance of the Time Realm Fruit and the [Blood Holy Grail].

It can be said that after this battle, although the number of awakened members of the Song family has decreased, their quality has improved by more than one level.

Finally, it’s the eldest brother Song Yan.

"I'm already prepared. Once we return to our ancestral domain, the Blazing Sea will officially attack the Galaxy Ship."
