National Star Sea Era...

Chapter 838 [Rakshasa God]

In addition to the [Skeleton Tomb], Song Chi also upgraded [Light of Judgment] to level 110.

Previously, due to a lack of Mythical Souls, the enhancement level of this component had remained at lv99. Because it was not even at the tenth level, although this colorful extreme-level naval cannon had played an important role in several major battles, it was still far from being able to stabilize the world.

This upgrade to level 110 has undoubtedly greatly enhanced its attributes, making this seven-colored naval cannon truly the most powerful weapon of the Sky Ruins.

{Judgment Absorption: When a unit of Overlord rank or higher is killed, the weapon's power is permanently increased based on the unit's life essence. (Currently increased by 72%)}
{Judgment Mark: The Light of Judgment carries 18 Judgment Marks. The captain can actively deploy these Judgment Marks. Units marked with Judgment Marks will have their real-time location recorded by the ship mounted on them. Furthermore, any main gun of the ship mounted on the Judgment Mark will have a guaranteed hit effect when actively attacking a marked target. Judgment Marks are extremely difficult to detect and remove. Each Judgment Mark can regenerate automatically once per year, accumulating to a maximum of twenty.}
{Civilization Judgment: Consumes 20000000 Psionic Points. The naval cannons adopt the ultimate judgment stance, selecting a specific civilization as the target of judgment. All units of this civilization gain a 10.72% damage bonus when facing units of the target civilization. This bonus can be increased through absorption. This trait can be activated once every 10,000 years, and its effect lasts until the next activation.}
Looking at the base damage on the attribute panel, which had reached nearly 9000 trillion, Song Chi clenched his fists.

It's worth noting that at level 99, its overall damage was only slightly over a trillion, but now it has increased almost ninety times.

It can be said that the current "Light of Judgment" truly deserves the title of a "weapon of mass destruction".

In addition, his "Judgment Absorption" trait has now accumulated a 72% damage bonus, which is not much, but after all, he has only had the Light of Judgment for a short time, and the value of this trait is clearly proportional to the time.

If we consider his current lifespan of a million years at the ninth-tier life level, the damage bonus from "Judgment Absorption" will be unimaginable by then.

The only downside is that the damage bonus for all civilization units from "Judgment Absorption" is quite different from that of the ultimate "Civilization Judgment" trait. The 72% base damage bonus for naval guns only amounts to 0.72% for this ultimate trait.

In response, Song Chi could only think to himself, "The task ahead is still arduous and the road is long," before putting away the attribute panel in front of him.

After viewing the [Light of Judgment], his gaze remained fixed on the attribute panel of the Sky Ruins.

The number of high-level rare items distributed this time is quite large, so the configuration of the Sky Ruins Sky has undergone a considerable change.

Not to mention the newly added Five-Colored Galaxy Cannon [Blood Erosion Annihilation Cannon], there are also many other parts that have been replaced.

Firstly, the engine was replaced immediately; the golden [Flame Roar Engine] was replaced with the five-colored [Corpse Fiend Core Engine].

However, the [Antimatter Energy Evolution Engine] remained untouched. This engine possessed a "dual engine" characteristic. Song Chi directly consumed ten golden artifacts and extracted a portion of black artifact essence synthesized using the [Artifact Origin Improvement Platform]. He then used ten black artifacts that could not be converted into shipboard components to create a portion of tricolor artifact essence, which was transferred to the [Corpse Fiend Core Engine]. Now, the [Antimatter Energy Evolution Engine] is installed on it.

The bad news is that in order to strengthen the [Bone Tomb] and [Light of Judgment], the 21 Mythical Souls that were just acquired have been used up again. Although the [Corpse Fiend Core Engine] has been strengthened to level 100, the Antimatter Energy Evolution Engine has regressed to level 99. This can only be considered as a barely enough relief for the power supply pressure of the Sky Ruins.

If it's not upgraded to level 100 or even level 110 as soon as possible, we'll have to face this problem again soon.

In addition, the [Void Pearl] has been replaced with the [Void Cloud Boat Model].

Both are teleportation-type components, but the three-colored [Void Cloud Boat Model] naturally outclasses the [Teleportation Bead] in terms of attributes. Combined with the [Starlight Flashing Spirit Stone Talisman], the short-range teleportation ability of the Heavenly Ruins Sky will be further enhanced in the future.

In addition, Song Chi also added three secondary cannons that had not been completed before.

[The Necromancer Cannon]

[Corrupted Corpse Poison Cannon]

Pulse Sputtering Cannon

All three were black secondary guns, and now all the secondary guns on the Sky Ruins were finally complete.

After reviewing all the changes to the Sky Ruins, Song Chi nodded in satisfaction. This large-scale enhancement and replacement had significantly boosted the flagship's combat power once again.

However, despite his happiness, Song Chi still had a small knot in his heart.

That is the issue of [Mirror Image]. After that shocking incident, he will only become more cautious in the future. With his main body unable to take risks easily, the importance of the mirror image warship will undoubtedly become even greater.

But because he had thought of this early on, the limitation that [Mirror Image] could not replicate the color extreme position components became more and more like a sharp thorn deeply inserted into his body. He felt uneasy until it was resolved.

As for the solution, it's quite simple. As long as [Mirror Image] can evolve to the higher quality of color, it can immediately replicate the color extreme quality parts thanks to the characteristic of "the quality of mirrorable parts can be improved by one level".

But that's the problem. Right now, [Mirror Image] is only a lower-tier colored item. To advance it to the next tier, you either need to use an eleventh-tier golden apple or an even rarer active evolution-type artifact.

Both are undoubtedly extremely difficult.

Even level 10 golden apples are rare, let alone level 11 golden apples.

The Song family happens to possess a type of actively evolving artifact, but the [Shedding of the Sky Python] can only evolve into a low-grade colored artifact at best. Only by upgrading it to a high-grade colored artifact can the requirements be met.

Song Chi was well aware of the current situation of the [Heavenly Python's Metamorphosis]. Even though the family had invested a huge amount of energy and resources, its second metamorphosis progress had only just broken through 20%, far from 100%.

Thinking of this, Song Chi suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"Yes, the Corpse Fiend..."

Corpse Fiend is a special resource produced by the Corpse Emperor Clan's river system. This resource is essential for the Corpse Emperor Clan, but for their Firefly Captain, it is more like a useless commodity.

This undoubtedly laid a good foundation for acquiring this Corpse Fiend at a low price. If the Song family could acquire this Corpse Fiend resource in large quantities at a low price to assist the cumulative evolution of the [Heavenly Devouring Python's Molting], it would definitely greatly accelerate the subsequent transformation of the [Heavenly Devouring Python's Molting].

As his thoughts raced, Song Chi's eyes shone even brighter, feeling that this idea was highly feasible.

Without hesitation, having already made his decision, he acted immediately.

First, he summoned Song Yiming and instructed him to order the family fleet to acquire Corpse Fiends at low prices. Then, he immediately returned to the Dragon Spine Continent.

Although he was certain that the Corpse Fiend energy could most likely be absorbed by the [Heavenly Devouring Python's Molt], it was still best to confirm it personally to avoid any unforeseen complications. In addition, he also gave instructions to the ancestral domain, instructing the Dragon Spine Shops of the family stationed in major trading holy lands such as the Demon Serpent Continent and the Demon God Floating Continent to purchase the Corpse Fiend.

Although the war between the Corpse Emperor Clan and the Galaxy Cluster is not yet over and the major fleets are still advancing, the number of captains participating in this war by the Fire Spirit Civilization is more than a hundred billion.
With such a large population, who knows what strange and wonderful components are installed inside?

Even during wartime, there are quite a few captains who can return to the territory of the Torch Civilization through special means, so it's always a good idea to make arrangements in advance.

That's not all. In addition, Song Chi also took the initiative to issue a task to collect Corpse Fiends at a low price in the Zhutian Market under the pseudonym of the Song family, a retainer of the Zhutian Market. Since the market became the exchange and trading center of the two overlords of human civilization, the Fire and Wizards, countless high-level Fire captains entered the market on the trading days of each month.

After dealing with these matters, Song Chi did not linger on the Dragon Spine Continent. Although the Corpse Emperor Clan was now in decline and the advance of the five Fire Fronts was unstoppable, no one could guarantee that no unexpected events would occur.

While matters such as the molting of the Devouring Python and the splitting of the mirror image are important, the agreement with the four human emperors is actually the most important.

[Shedding of the Sky-Devouring Python] It cannot molt again in a short period of time, but there will always be a time when it accumulates enough to overflow.

[Mirror Image] cannot replicate the colored extreme parts, but there will be opportunities in the future. Unlike the Fifth Empire of the Flame, if Song Chi misses this opportunity, he will not have another chance to fight for the opening rights by announcing the [All Heavens Market] information a second time.

And so, the two superdimensional motherships, whose combat power had surged once again, accompanied the Fifth Front Fleet all the way, protecting it as it advanced steadily. As time went by, one river system after another was completely occupied by the fleet.

……

Compared to the fifth front, the other four empires' fronts were advancing at a similarly rapid pace, or even faster.

Although the resistance forces of the Corpse King Clan they faced were much larger and had more peak combat power, how much stronger were the four fronts compared to the fifth front?
Even with the fiercest resistance from the Corpse King Clan, it was difficult to stop their advance.

The 1045th year since the invasion of the Corpse Emperor Clan's river system by the Fire of the Civilization.

In this year, the five fronts of the Torch Civilization, like five sharp blades, had already penetrated the core of the Corpse Emperor Clan's river system, and were only a few million light-years away from the Corpse Emperor Clan's original ancestral land, the ninth-level peak floating continent [Corpse Emperor Continent].

The one in the very center of the five battlefronts is the advancing battlefront of the Divine Xia Dynasty, led by the [Divine Xia Jiuli] ship.

This battlefront is also currently the closest to the [Corpse Emperor Continent], separated from it by only three river systems.

However, on this very day, Emperor Jiang Yuan of the Shenxia Jiuli suddenly issued an order to halt the advance.

[Shellish Nine Li Magnetic Wave Encrypted Communication Group Chat]

[Jiang Yi: Ancestor, has something happened?]

[Jiang Yuan: It's alright. That Rakshasa is coming. I'll go and meet him. You don't need to worry, just wait here!]

[Jiang Yi: That tenth-tier Rakshasa God of the Rakshasa Clan? How could it leave the Rakshasa Ancestral Domain so easily? Without the boundless cultural foundation of the Rakshasa Ancestral Domain, isn't it afraid of being targeted by other hegemonic civilizations or those mythical beings from the Chaos God Continent who have stepped out of chaos?]

[Jiang Yuan: It's just a projection. These old fogies who live the longest are the most afraid of dying!]

……

Buzz!
In the starry sky illuminated by the eerie light emanating from countless starships, the super warship at the rear of the fleet suddenly roared, and the next second the warship surged into the void, disappearing from its original spot in a moment.

……

Deep within the Corpse Emperor Clan's river system, at the edge of the "Rotten Bone River System," five million light-years from the Corpse Emperor Continent.

Song Chi stood in the main control room of the Tianxu Cangqiong, staring at the blue light spots that were constantly moving forward on the holographic star map.

Those markings representing the Human Fleet of the Torchbearer have already encroached upon nearly two-thirds of the Corpse Emperor's territory.

"Uncle Chi, the latest battle report." Song Yiming's figure appeared in front of me through a holographic projection.

"The 37th Legion has just captured the seventh star field of the 'Rotten Bone Star System', and the resistance of the Corpse Emperor Clan is 47% weaker than expected."

Song Chi nodded slightly, tapped his finger lightly, and the real-time data of the Light of Judgment in front of him kept flashing.

The attack strength value, reaching a staggering 8890 trillion, shimmered with a chilling light on the dark blue screen.

"Keep the vanguard fleet on alert; the Corpse Kings are unlikely to abandon their ancestral lands so easily."

Song Chi's voice was calm but tinged with a hint of alertness.

"I suspect they're brewing something."

Just then, the Sky Brain suddenly emitted a sharp alarm.

[Ultra-high energy spatial fluctuations detected, coordinates located... towards the main fleet of the Divine Xia Dynasty, energy readings have broken through the mythical level!]

Song Chi's pupils contracted sharply, and he quickly brought up the remote observation screen of the [Eye of Truth].

In the pitch-black starry sky millions of light-years away, a blood-red rift spanning several light-years was slowly opening, as if the universe had been torn open with a hideous wound.

“That’s… the spatial imprint of the Rakshasa clan!” Song Chi recognized the special pattern on the edge of the blood-red crack.

"And it's a spatial imprint far exceeding that of a ninth-tier Rakshasa Necromancer ship... Could it really be..."

Just as Song Chi's suspicions were becoming more and more certain, a communication component on the main control panel, glowing with colorful light, suddenly emitted a beeping sound.

It was an urgent communication from Emperor Ying of the Immortal Qin Dynasty.

"Song Chi, halt the advance immediately and remain in place."

Ying Yi's holographic image appeared solemn as he quickly explained:

"Jiang Yuan just sent word that the Rakshasa God's projection has descended, and the situation has changed."

Song Chi narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself, "Just as I thought."

Rakshasa God – the supreme being of the overlord Rakshasa race, a tenth-order life form, one of the most powerful beings even in the vast, shattered star sea.

What puzzled him was whether this Rakshasa God really wanted to wage a full-scale war against their Fire-Burning Civilization.
This should absolutely not be the case.

"Your Majesty, does the Rakshasa clan truly intend to fully intervene in our war against the Corpse Emperor Clan?"

Song Chi couldn't help but ask.

Ying Yi's image shook its head:
"The specifics are still unclear, but Jiang Yuan has already gone to negotiate, and other fronts have also received orders to suspend their advance."

Clearly, Ying Yi wasn't entirely clear on this either, but having accumulated over 300,000 years of experience, he quickly continued:
"However, there's no need to worry too much. The Rakshasa Clan's ancestral domain is more than a hundred billion light-years away from us. The chances of them forcibly starting a full-scale civilization war with us are extremely slim. They probably just want to gain some benefits in this Corpse Emperor Clan's river system."

In the pitch-black starry sky, the Shenxia Jiuli hovered quietly. Outside the warship's hull, boundless psionic energy bloomed like golden lotuses, burning away the surrounding Rakshasa death energy.

"Rakshasa God, now that you're here, why hide your face?"

Jiang Yuan's voice wasn't loud, but it shook the vast starry sky around her.

The blood-red crack in the distance suddenly expanded, and a giant claw covered with dark gold scales emerged, with countless struggling phantoms of vengeful spirits appearing on each scale.

"You, a latecomer to the torch of civilization, do have some guts."

Accompanied by a hoarse whisper, a huge vertical pupil emerged from the crack, reflecting countless shattered scenes of civilizations. With just a glance, it caused countless nearby asteroids to turn into dust.

Jiang Yuan's response was exceptionally firm.

"Since the true body dares not leave the Rakshasa Ancestral Domain, why bother to appear in projection form to tyrannize and oppress?"

Upon hearing this, the blood-red vertical pupils in front suddenly contracted, and the blood-red color in the starry sky instantly became ten times more intense. Amidst the shrieks of countless wronged souls, the crack finally fully opened, revealing the true form of the Rakshasa God—a humanoid being clad in blood-red scales sat on a throne made of billions of skulls.

Its face constantly changed between men, women, the elderly, and children, and each face had the same vertical pupil between its eyebrows, its anger overflowing.
