National Star Sea Era...

Chapter 815 Millennium
[The Shattered Divine Essence of the Bright Moon]

Blood Moon Staff

The Song family was lucky; both of these rare tricolor artifacts could be converted into shipboard components.

Among them, the [Shattered Moon Divine Essence] can be transformed into a tricolor shipborne engine.

The Blood Moon Staff is a Star River Cannon.

As Song Yan watched, the attribute panels of the two components quickly appeared.

……

Both of these components undoubtedly have excellent attributes, and after discussion among everyone, both were assigned to Song Yan.

Song Yan didn't refuse much. Although the Blazing Sea had already entered the senior starship level, and the warship was equipped with many black parts, most of which were upgraded to level 90 or above, it had not yet been equipped with a single colored part.

These two tricolor components are undoubtedly a godsend for the Blazing Sea.

With the removal of the original black engine [Titan Core Engine] and black star cannon [Dawn of Light], the Blazing Sea's combat power immediately saw a significant boost. While it didn't directly propel it into the realm of ultimate starships, it was at least considered top-tier among veteran starships.

After that, the entire Red Maple Kingdom fell under the control of the Song family. This was far from over. The Red Maple Kingdom spanned over a hundred billion kilometers. The original number of native humans in the country exceeded 100 billion, but after the Blood Moon's rampage, only a few hundred million remained.

Although it would take less than two hundred years for these people to recover, why would the Song family complain about having too much territory under their control?

Not to mention the vast territory spanning light-years (trillions of kilometers) of the seven kingdoms under the Aklemon family, it certainly wouldn't be limited to hundreds of billions of kilometers.

The key is that the Song family fleet has multiple All-Heavens Market Tokens, and with the help of many low- to mid-level dimensional space artifacts collected over the past few thousand years, they can easily and infinitely draw resources and people from the Dragon Spine Continent without going through the teleportation channel controlled by the Aklemon family.

It's important to know that while the Aklermon family opened the first emergency teleportation free of charge, subsequent trips would require paying a considerable fee, and more importantly, often involve long queues and waiting times, which is quite troublesome.

In comparison, things are much more convenient for the Song family.

Of course, what the Song family has announced to the public so far is that they brought a large number of ordinary clansmen and resources with them in advance. After all, this matter is of great importance and involves the Akramund family, one of the four Heavenly Pillar royal families. There is no need to make it public knowledge.

With the arrival of batches of first and second-tier members, including tens of millions of ordinary people, the control and reconstruction of the entire Red Maple Kingdom quickly got on track.

After that, the Song family's pioneering fleet remained stationed for several decades. Forty years later, the main force of the Song family set off again, leaving only a 100,000-strong Firefly Fleet to guard the Red Maple Kingdom, with Star Destroyer Captain Song Xuancang as the commander-in-chief, plus an eighth-order planet devourer.

Two hundred years later, the Song family conquered another kingdom further north of the Red Maple Kingdom and directly incorporated it into the Red Maple Kingdom. By then, the territory of the Red Maple Faith Kingdom under the Song family had spread to more than 200 billion kilometers.

Four hundred and fifty years later, the Song family fleet led by Song Yan successively controlled several ordinary countries. By then, the territory of the Red Maple Faith Country spanned more than 300 billion kilometers, with more than 6 billion human citizens, as well as more than 1 billion goblins and hundreds of millions of orcs.

However, that's where it ends, because further north lies a very powerful empire, a holy empire directly under the ancient heavenly god, the [Eternal Sun].

What is the Direct Holy Empire?

The entire empire is ruled by a single orthodox church, with complete faith in that orthodox god and at least one holy follower of that god present. This is the Holy Empire directly under the Holy God.

The empire north of the Red Maple Kingdom under the Song family is called the Holy Sun Empire. The empire spans nearly two light-years and has over a million Eternal Sun Churches, with countless Eternal Bishops of the ninth rank.

The Eternal Archbishop of the Eternal Sun Holy City is said to be a ninth-order limit level existence. As a saint favored by the gods, he was able to serve as a vessel for divine descent, briefly receiving the descent of the ancient deity, the Eternal Sun. In that state, he undoubtedly possessed true mythical combat power.

Faced with such a behemoth, the Song family was under immense pressure and dared not continue to advance.
Fortunately, it wasn't just the Song family of Longji who advanced to this point over the centuries; several other powerful and immortal forces also made their way here, including the Langya Meng clan under the jurisdiction of the Immortal Qin Dynasty.

When faced with the super empire to the north, the various factions reacted almost in unison. A total of three immortal giants with ninth-tier combat power, plus two outstanding eighth-tier forces, reached an agreement to form an alliance to jointly resist the massive empire to the north.

……

Song Chi was unaware of the large-scale operation by his family, as he had been in seclusion deep within the All-Attribute Cultivation Chamber.

Time flies, and a thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, the monthly market trading in the Heavenly Market resumed.

Compared to the past, there were not many changes in this market transaction. The only difference from before Song Chi went into seclusion was that the core members of the Song family gathered in the market.

These people clearly only exude the aura of a mid-level life form, yet the amount of money they make in each transaction is consistently astonishingly large.

They continued to trade between each other, and there was basically no bargaining involved. They agreed on a price, and that was the price—it was incredibly straightforward.

"Brother Song Yao, what's the price of this silver wonder?"

"100 strands of the origin of the eighth-level floating land."

This price was clearly well above the normal market price, yet the person asking the question agreed without hesitation. "Okay, I'll take it!"

Soon, this deal, which was "voluntary" by both parties, was reached.

Once the transaction was officially completed, the 100 strands of eighth-order floating continent essence that the man named Song Yao had just acquired suddenly disappeared, as the market had taken the corresponding transaction tax.

This is not an isolated case. In every corner of this free market area, the middle-level members of the Song family are constantly trading. Not to mention eighth-order floating land origins and silver artifacts, there are quite a few traders even ninth-order floating land origins and gold artifacts. They are enjoying it immensely.

If other members of the Song family were here, they would know that these strange objects and the origin of the floating continent were spoils of war that the family had plundered from the entire Red Maple Kingdom.

In addition, some families take advantage of the market to sell basic fire-making materials and mid-to-high-end mechanical creations in the Heavenly Realm, earning profits from the price difference.

Just then, a message came from a member of the Song family who was on duty guarding the [All-Attribute Cultivation Room]:

"Urgent news! Patriarch Chi has emerged from seclusion!"

"What? Patriarch Chi has actually emerged from seclusion?"

"Quickly, let's go greet them."

……

Before the [All-Attribute Training Room], which was completely shrouded by the power of the market's origin, hundreds of mid-level core members of the Song family gathered, gazing respectfully at the door of the training room.

A dozen seconds later, Song Chi, who had been in seclusion for over a thousand years, emerged from within.

A hint of surprise flashed across his face when he saw his people welcoming him.

"This is what you are doing?"

"Reporting to Ancestor Chi, today is the monthly market trading day. We are following your instructions before you went into seclusion and are doing our best to increase the high-level transaction volume in the market."

Song Chi chuckled and nodded, while quickly bringing up the attribute panel of the Heavenly Market.

【Name: All Heavens Market】

[Market Owner: Song Chi]

[Level: lv85]

[Specifications: 3500000 km x 3500000 km]

……

[Upgrade Requirements: 600 strands of Floating Continent Origin (Tier 8), a market transaction volume of 2.1 million strands of Tier 8 Floating Continent Origin (3985000/2100000), and 1 Tier 8 Sovereign True Spirit.]

Looking at the last column on the attribute panel in front of him, Song Chi was delighted, but his eyes were also full of doubt.

Even with the Song family's current surge in resources and possession of several eighth-order floating continents such as the Dragon Spine Continent, the cultivation of eighth-order floating continent origins still requires time. Furthermore, the floating continents themselves need the nourishment of eighth-order floating continent origins. The amount of eighth-order floating continent origins that can be truly produced in a year is actually quite limited.

In addition to the increased consumption of several Star Destroyer captains, the need for cultivating guidance techniques, and the minimum consumption for enslaving creatures, the nearly four million units of eighth-order floating continent origin greatly exceeded his original expectations.

Seemingly anticipating the doubts of his clan's first ancestor, the battleship captain Song Yao immediately explained all the recent events that had occurred in the Heavenly Realm.

"The Heavenly Realm, huh? A closed star field with a status equivalent to an eleventh-order star continent, I see..."

After the market transactions ended and the group of mid-level clansmen left, Song Chi couldn't wait to begin the advancement of the Heavenly Market.

After several tremors, the market level rapidly increased, eventually reaching level 88, just one step away from level 89.

[Upgrade Requirements: 900 strands of Floating Continent Origin (Tier 8), a market transaction volume of 4.5 million strands of Tier 8 Floating Continent Origin (3985000/4500000), and 1 Tier 8 Sovereign True Spirit.]

The rapidly rising market level satisfied Song Chi.

According to his original plan, this time he would only be able to get the market to around level 87 at most, or even level 86 if he was unlucky. This has indeed given him a great surprise.

Moreover, according to what those core clan members said before, it seems that a special-grade package has already been placed in the market's sealed storage room.

Driven by curiosity, he made his way to the sealed storage room.

After taking out the high-grade storage capsule that Song Xuancang had personally delivered, Song Chi chose to open it directly.

A bright red light shone from the opening of the storage capsule. Even Song Chi couldn't help but shrink his pupils when he saw the source of the red light.

"This...this is..."

"Blood of a tenth-tier evil god!"

The blood of a tenth-order evil god is an extremely rare resource that can even have a certain effect on a superdimensional mothership when it attacks a mythical immortal ship. Its value is far greater than that of a single colored mythical artifact.

Song Chi never expected that the blood of a tenth-order evil god would be sent by his family.

Half an hour later, Song Chi, who had taken the initiative to inquire about the specific details from the patriarch and the others, instinctively marveled at the good fortune his family had in expanding their fleet.

The blood of a tenth-tier evil god is an extra resource for advancement. Even for a tenth-tier evil god in the Heavenly Realm, it takes a long time to replenish every drop lost. Generally speaking, a tenth-tier evil god will not easily bestow tenth-tier evil god blood upon his followers; at most, it will be eighth or ninth-tier blood.

Only a high-level order like the Blood Moon Order, which has existed for hundreds of thousands of years, has a long history, and has made great contributions to the Crimson Moon, would possess this level of evil god blood. And the Song family just happened to get it; their luck is simply unparalleled.

Thinking of this, Song Chi couldn't help but feel conflicted again.

He was considering how to use this drop of tenth-tier evil god's blood.

During this seclusion, his progress in the Guiding Technique was surprisingly smooth. Over a thousand years, with the help of various auxiliary aids and the remaining few [Homeland Spirit Fruits], his Guiding Technique successfully broke through to level 89.

In other words, he only needs to wait for the day when the Divine Summer Continent impacts the Star Continent before he can officially attempt to have the Heavenly Ruins Sky Battle against the Superdimensional Mothership.

That's precisely the point that's causing my dilemma.

While the blood of a tenth-tier evil god provides greater assistance to the Star River Ship's ascension to a superdimensional mothership, increasing the success rate of the Heavenly Ruins Sky by more than 10%, it can also play a role in the ascension to a tenth-tier mythical immortal ship. The effect may not be particularly outstanding, but the resources that take effect during the ascension to mythical status are already worth more than 99% of high-tier resources.

Whether to use it soon to attack the superdimensional mothership, or to wait until it is upgraded to a mythical immortal ship, is indeed a bit of a dilemma.
