National Star Sea Era...

Chapter 823 [Star Sea Overlord - Genesis Mechanism]

"The Sea of ​​Fallen Gods... what kind of place is that?"

Without much hesitation, Song Chi voiced his doubts directly.

Through the conversation between Jiang Yuan and Ji Heng, it was not difficult to discern that the so-called "Sea of ​​Fallen Gods" was likely a special area that could reliably produce [Mythical Souls], which was why he had become even more interested.

Since Jiang Yuan and the other person brought up the matter face to face, they had no intention of hiding it from each other.

"The Fallen God Sea is a special war relic, a super war relic existing on the Chaotic God Continent..."

Upon hearing the word "super," Song Chi immediately became serious. Since Jiang Yuan, who had already entered the realm of mythology, called it a super war relic, he could roughly guess the vague origin of the [Fallen God Sea].

The beings that created this so-called war relic were definitely not ordinary mythical beings; they were at least eleventh-level powerful beings, or even twelfth-level beings.

According to Song Chi's thinking, the latter possibility is more likely.

Without giving him time to think further, Jiang Yuan continued her explanation.

"That's a collapsed region with a diameter of over ten million light-years, and its area continues to expand over time. The most important thing to watch out for is the super-brain storms that can erupt from time to time, including the soul-devouring beasts that roam within it..."

"Super Brainstorm, Soul-Eating Beasts... are they all targeting the mental level?"

As soon as Song Chi raised his question, Jiang Yuan nodded very directly.

Why did such a unique environment emerge?

"It is said that during that earth-shattering battle, a transcendent being who relied on psychic power perished here."

"A transcendent being?"

These few words aroused Song Chi's doubts twice, but fortunately, Jiang Yuan was very patient with his questions.

"Whether it's the Shattered Star Sea or the Chaotic Divine Continent, those twelfth-order mythical units are called Transcendent Ones."

"Of course, rather than being transcendent, they are more like seekers of transcendence. After all, although the twelfth rank is the limit of all heavens, it is not enough to be considered transcendent. Those great beings who stand at the pinnacle of all heavens are all seeking the opportunity to transcend."

Upon hearing this, Song Chi's eyes flashed wildly; these words clearly had a profound impact on him.

Jiang Yuan and Ji Heng didn't think much of it, assuming that it was normal for Song Chi to be moved by these top-level secrets for the first time.

What they didn't know was that Song Chi's current change in mindset had nothing to do with these things. What was on his mind right now was everything related to the [City of Transcendence].

He didn't understand the meaning of the word "transcendence" at first, but after listening to Jiang Yuan's detailed explanation, the words "City of Transcendence" seemed even more mysterious to him.

'I just don't know whether the transcendence in the City of Transcendence is "transcendence" itself, or, as Jiang Yuan just said, the transcendence that is "being sought"...'

Just as Song Chi was about to delve deeper into these thoughts, Jiang Yuan's voice pulled him back to reality.

"Millions of years ago, before the era of the Shattered Star Sea, everything in the [Fallen God Sea] region was divided up by several top races on the Chaos God Continent. Later, several hegemonic civilizations of our Shattered Star Sea rose up, and after many bloody negotiations, we finally managed to join the ranks of those who divided the land."

"Therefore, if we want to fight for this benefit, we must first be prepared for a bloody conflict. I will personally remind Ying Yi and Pei Dinan. Tanlang, right now you only have one task: break through to the ninth level of the Guiding Technique as soon as possible!"

"understand!"

……

The moment you step into the [All-Attribute Training Room], a surge of psionic energy, so dense it's almost liquid, rushes in like a tide.

This training room has undergone multiple upgrades and has now officially reached the ninth level. The concentration of psionic energy inside is already countless times higher than that outside, and every breath feels like absorbing the essence of the entire galaxy.

As Song Chi stood in the center of the training room, the moment he assumed the standard posture for the guiding technique, the surrounding psionic energy automatically condensed into a crystalline mist that swirled rapidly in the air before surging towards his body.

"it's time."

Muttering to himself, he raised his hand and took out two special resources from the storage capsule in front of him.

Dragon Essence Crystal (obtained from the Demon Serpent Continent Exchange, said to be refined from the remains of a ninth-tier Western dragon, containing the purest ninth-tier dragon essence, which has an excellent effect on assisting guidance techniques)
Seed of Illusion (obtained during a transaction on the Floating Continent of Demons; it can help users enter the most realistic illusion, where users can realistically simulate their own situation after a breakthrough and personally experience the various changes that follow, thereby increasing the success rate of subsequent breakthroughs.)
Both of these resources are extremely rare, and the family paid a considerable price to obtain them, but it was all worth it.

At least that's what Song Chi thinks.

One hundred and fifty years have passed since the Divine Summer Continent was upgraded to the Star Continent, and he doesn't have much time left to break through.

A crystal-clear dragon essence floated in the center of the training room, its surface shimmering with a liquid gold-like luster.

This essence, derived from a ninth-tier Western dragon, constantly shifted its sharply defined facets under the illumination of psionic energy, its interior seemingly sealing an inextinguishable flame.

Song Chi sat cross-legged at the core node of the all-attribute cultivation room, beneath him was an amplification matrix composed of three hundred and sixty psionic crystal cores.

He adjusted his breathing, feeling the phantom energy, which had reached a liquid concentration, circulating in his lungs.

With each inhale, a visible stream of psionic energy flows into the nasal cavity; with each exhale, impurities accumulated in the body are expelled.

"let's start."

He held up the Dragon Essence Crystal with his right hand and crushed the Illusion Demon Seed with his left.

The moment the purple mist burst open, the temperature in the training room plummeted, and fine frost flowers condensed on the ground. The energy fields generated by the two top-tier resources intertwined, forming an energy field with a diameter of three meters around Song Chi.

The first thing to take effect is the Seed of Illusion; countless purple light spots seep into the skin, forming a microscopic stimulation network at the nerve endings.

Song Chi felt his thinking speed suddenly increase a hundredfold, and all the vague insights he had gained in his past cultivation became clear and visible at this moment.

The countless energy nodes of the eighth level of the guiding technique lit up one by one in the sea of ​​consciousness, forming a complete human star map.

"So what was holding me back was the conversion efficiency of the twelfth vertebral node..."

Song Chi suddenly realized that under the overclocking state brought about by the Seed of Illusion and the analysis of the illusion, he could clearly see the details that he had overlooked in his previous cultivation—whenever energy flowed through the middle of his spine, there would always be a slight delay. This tiny defect had accumulated over time and formed an insurmountable bottleneck.

The Dragon Essence Crystal began to melt, and the golden liquid spread along the meridians in his palm, outlining intricate patterns under his skin.

The violent energy unique to Western dragons should have instantly destroyed his meridians, but under the regulation of the Illusion Demon Seed, and with his own eighth-order limit physique, this energy became docile and controllable.

Song Chi guided Long Yuan upwards along the spine, precisely flushing out that stubborn energy node.

The monitoring instruments in the training room issued a sharp alarm. The energy reading broke through the ninth-order threshold. The liquid phantom energy was ionized into a plasma state. Dragon scale-like energy armor appeared on Song Chi's skin surface. This was a sign that the dragon essence crystal had begun to fuse with his body.

"not enough……"

Suddenly, Song Chi raised his hand and waved, pouring the Heavenly Star Body Tempering Liquid, mixed with powder from deep-sea clam pearls over 100,000 years old, into his mouth one vial. He also swallowed the last remaining [Homeland Spirit Fruit]. Soon, intense energy surged in his lower abdomen, causing his waning Dragon Essence to boil again. A crisp cracking sound came from his spine as the stubborn node was finally broken, and all the energy nodes in his body formed a perfect closed loop. Pale golden mist spewed from Song Chi's pores; this was the residual substance after the Dragon Essence crystallization was purified, now being expelled from his body by his newly formed ninth-order guiding technique system.

The cultivation room suddenly fell into absolute darkness, and all monitoring equipment malfunctioned simultaneously. This was a local disturbance of the laws caused by the leap in the level of individual life.

Three seconds later, when the lights came back on, Song Chi was already standing in the center of the training room.

He simply clenched his fist, creating a sonic boom in the air. Without any instruments to detect it, the transformation at the cellular level was clearly discernible—muscle fiber density increased, and the bones, which had turned silver after advancing to the seventh rank, began to faintly reveal a pale gold hue. Even the finest capillaries could withstand the operation of violent psionic energy. This was a true ninth-rank life level.

Song Chi felt the seemingly inexhaustible power within his body. He felt incredibly good at the moment. Although this was his ninth life sublimation, each time he experienced it again, he felt a sense of fascination.

His gaze swept across the various corners of the training room. He seemed to be able to vaguely sense the different energy concentrations in different parts of the training room. This was a leap in perception brought about by the breakthrough in the Guiding Technique.

Stepping out of the cultivation room, he saw the Heavenly Market, which had already advanced to the ninth level. From the perspective of a ninth-level cultivator, he could see a large number of traces of primordial laws, including various kinds of rich energy.

"This is the world of the ninth tier..."

Song Chi raised his right hand, and a wisp of phantom energy condensed at his fingertips.

Unlike at the eighth rank, the psionic energy is now more solid. A single energy stream of the same size contains a fundamental difference in destructive power.

This is a sign that the energy has completed a further transformation.

He flicked his finger, and psionic energy transformed into an energy arrow that shot into the wall, followed by a muffled explosion.

With the power of his mythical status, Song Chi easily erased the effects of the explosion. He then opened his personal terminal, which contained twenty-seven unread communications.

The latest message is from Emperor Jiang, and it consists of only one short sentence:

"See you at the Emperor's City!"

……

Ripples spread through the space as Song Chi stepped out of the folded state. Beneath his feet was a giant platform spanning the galaxy, with faintly visible chaotic energy flowing within it, keeping it constantly full of energy.

After leaving the Chaos Teleportation Platform, Song Chi headed straight for the Human Emperor's Palace.

Deep within the main hall, four thrones representing the highest power of the Burning Flame Civilization floated, and three figures were already occupying their respective positions.

Emperor Jiang sat on the amethyst throne, with the crown of the Great Dao rules slowly rotating behind him; Emperor Ying sat on the golden throne, with the majestic golden figure appearing and disappearing around him; Emperor Ferdinand's throne of light radiated a holy light.

When Song Chi arrived, the fourth, originally dull silver-gray throne suddenly shone with starlight.

"It seems to have been a success." Emperor Jiang's gaze swept over Song Chi's pale gold knuckles: "It's at least a hundred years ahead of my expectations."

Song Chi bowed to the three of them, leaving shallow energy marks on the star-gold ground with each step, a sign that he had just broken through and had not yet fully restrained his energy.

Seeing this, the three emperors smiled but said nothing. Suddenly, Emperor Jiang raised his hand and unfolded a holographic star map with a diameter of one kilometer.

Against a backdrop of a distorted and warped starry sky, a gray ocean is slowly expanding, with chaotic landmasses constantly being swallowed and disintegrated at its edges.

In this star map, seven areas flashing red light are particularly striking, three of which are emitting the blue ripples characteristic of the super brainstorm.

"Latest situation in the Fallen God Sea." Emperor Jiang pointed to one of the red areas with the densest blue ripples. "The Titan-controlled area is guarded by 'King of Thunder' Gor, an eleventh-tier mythical Titan."

As he spoke, he quickly pointed to another area with similarly dense ripples.

"The Chaos Demon Ape Control Zone is guarded by the 'Skull Crusher' Golden Ape, an eleventh-tier ape god."

Song Chi's pupils contracted slightly. Although he knew he would be facing a mythical being, he still felt a suffocating pressure when he actually saw the mark.

Not to mention that there are two eleventh-tier mythical beings among them.

His gaze swept over a few green dots at the edge of the star map: "What are these?"

“Allies and potential allies.” Emperor Jiang zoomed in on one of them, revealing a skull symbol wreathed in green flames.

"The 'Tower of Bones' of the Wizarding Civilization is a direct force under the rule wizard 'Black Bone' of the Wizarding Civilization."

At this moment, the star map suddenly flickered violently, and a black area spread out from the core area.

The golden phantom behind Emperor Ying flickered violently: "Another devastating super-brain storm, this time it's thirty standard years ahead of schedule."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Ferdinand, standing to one side, said in a deep voice:

"Because someone is trying to salvage 'that thing'."

The holy light behind him flickered: "The Netherworld Clan of the Chaos God Continent has a rumor that they have found the exact coordinates of the remains of a Transcendent."

Jiang Yuan responded with a cold laugh.

"Just them?"

"Although the Netherworld Clan is one of the top races of the Chaos God Continent, their strength is not particularly great. They only control a top-tier Chaos City. Even though they follow the path of soul consciousness, which gives them a natural advantage in resisting the super brain storm, do they really think they can enter the deepest part of the [Fallen God Sea] with just two ordinary tenth-tier combatants?"

"But if it wasn't them, then why did this devastating super-brain storm occur ahead of schedule..."

Emperor Ferdinand wanted to ask something more, but Jiang Yuan quickly interrupted him.

“These things are not important. What we need to do right now is to find a way to reach into this [Sea of ​​Fallen Gods].

"With this devastating super brain storm erupting, a large number of mythical souls will be blown out of the core area. As long as we can get involved, no matter how much territory we get, we will definitely reap considerable rewards."

Upon hearing this, Song Chi and the others nodded, understanding the meaning behind Jiang Yuan's words.

The current dilemma is that, apart from the wizarding civilization which has a considerable chance, how could the other forces allow them to get involved so easily?
"Perhaps we can start with the Mechanicus!"

"The Mechanic Cult, Jiang Yuan, are you referring to the [Genesis Mechanic Civilization]?"

As he listened to their conversation, information about the [Genesis Mechanical Civilization] automatically surfaced in Song Chi's mind.

The Creation Mechanical Civilization is one of the top ten hegemonic civilizations recorded in the Broken Star Sea by the Genesis Civilization, and it is also the only mechanical civilization among the top ten hegemonic civilizations.

Its ranking among the top ten hegemonic civilizations is not high, at least not as high as the wizards, angels, and the Shakya clans, but it is much stronger than the Three-Eyed Clan and the Rakshasa Clan.
