National Star Sea Era...

Chapter 868 Obtaining the Seven-Colored Components Again
The moment the Chaos Oath took effect, the danger monitoring device in the Emperor's Palace at the center of the Emperor's City suddenly emitted a blinding red light. The astral threat index, which had been stable at the "ultra-high risk" level, dropped back to the "dangerous" range at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Song Chi swiped his finger across the holographic panel, bringing up real-time images of battlefields across the Heavenly Ape Star Realm—

With the departure of the Eternal Ancestor and the Sky-Splitting God King and other transcendent beings from the depths of the heavens, the tenth-tier mythological expeditionary forces of the Abyss Demon Clan, Sand Spirit Clan and other transcendent forces resumed their advance just a few days later.

With several transcendent legions taking the lead, more and more mythical alien legions gradually became active in the next half month. The Heavenly Ape Star Realm, which had been peaceful for less than a month, once again fell into a state of chaos.

The only good news is that although the advance of these mythical legions is still ongoing, the ferocity they carry has clearly subsided, and they no longer have the reckless madness they once had.

"The Chaos Oath has been confirmed to be in effect."

Jiang Yuan's voice carried a hint of barely perceptible relaxation as she raised her hand and transmitted an encrypted file to Song Chi's terminal.

"This is a list of the secret vaults of our four great empires. You can choose any four Chaos Mirror Stones from this list as compensation for the Chaos Mirror Stones you used before."

Compared to before, Jiang Yuan's tense mind was now completely relaxed, otherwise she wouldn't have brought up this matter at this time.

Song Chi took the list and quickly scanned it with his eyes.

The value of a top-grade [Chaos Mirror Stone] is undeniable. It's true that he's willing to pay the price for the survival of the Torch Civilization, but there's no need for him to take all the blame upon himself. Besides, he does currently have quite a few other items he needs.

As his gaze moved downwards, even as a ninth-order being, Song Chi still felt somewhat dazzled.

It's no wonder it's the joint vault of the four great empires; the number of items listed is truly astonishing.

Medium-sized titanium crystal vein core *1
Large titanium crystal vein core *1
Chaos Qi *2
One copy of Mythical Soul

Tricolor Galaxy Cannon [Bloodline Phosphorescent Cannon]

Five-Colored Energy Shield [Celestial Four Symbols Spiritual Light Shield]

Medium-grade [Chaos Mirror Stone] *1
Superior [Chaos Mirror Stone] *2
……

During the inspection, Song Chi discovered a problem: among all the items, there were very few seven-colored strange objects, only two, while there were quite a few five-colored and three-colored strange objects.

This is understandable, after all, even the four great empires that have been established for more than 200,000 years have a limited number of seven-colored artifacts in their possession. Moreover, they are either stored by the four human emperors or integrated into the core of the ancestral continent of the empire. To be honest, Song Chi was quite surprised that two of them appeared in this secret vault.

Instead of rushing to make a selection, Song Chi spent a good half hour looking at the list before finally focusing on eight items.

Seven-Colored [Alien Bio-Energy Purification Sculpture]

Seven-colored [White Hole Aura Sky-Supporting Shield]

Eleventh Tier [Golden Apple]

Eleventh Tier [Star-Devouring Vine Heart]

Five-colored [Hyperspace Transition Device]

Five-colored [Rare Energy Stone]

Additional upgrade resource for the Mythical-class Flamebringer: Earthen Stone Mother

Tier 10 [Asura Blood Organ]

All eight items were what he needed at the moment, among which the seven-colored wonder, the [Alien Bio-Energy Purification Sculpture], was a must-have.

Given the current situation, with the Transcendent Ones strictly prohibited from intervening, the time required for those alien mythological legions to advance to the area where the [Human Emperor City] is located will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

The original estimate of over three hundred years has been revised by Song Chi to be three or four times longer, meaning they will have another buffer period of about a thousand years.

Because of this, coupled with the recent surge in the combat power of the Sky Ruins, Song Chi has decided to take advantage of this buffer period to officially restart the exploration of the Immortal Realm Continent ruins.

The danger at the Immortal Realm Continent Ruins mainly comes from the unknown gray mist energy and the mastermind behind it. The most troublesome aspect of the gray mist energy is its powerful corrosive properties.

The seven-colored [Alien Bio-Energy Purification Sculpture] in front of us is a targeted preparation made by Song Chi for this purpose.

In addition, Song Chi also wanted to acquire the seven-colored [White Hole Aura Sky-Supporting Shield].

White Hole Halo Sky-Supporting Shield Lv.0
Quality: Color/Extreme
Special Feature: Energy Shield Protection Value Increased by 260%
Feature 2: Energy Shield - Shield value increased by 260%
Feature 3: True Defense

Feature 4: The white hole aura constantly provides an energy shield, actively absorbing 20% of external damage when attacked.

Feature 5: The White Hole Aura constantly absorbs energy from wandering stars, continuously replenishing the energy shield. When the shield is damaged, it will automatically regenerate 7% of its maximum shield value per second.

Feature 6: When the warship's energy shield remains intact, the cosmic energy absorbed by the white hole halo will continuously enhance the warship's hull strength.
Feature 7: Dual-layer energy shield

Feature 8: White Hole Vortex

Feature 9: White Hole Overclocking Shield

……

{Dual-Layer Energy Shield: Equipping the warship grants it a dual-layer white hole aura shield. Both shields have identical attributes, and the buffer period after overload is half an hour.}
{White Hole Vortex: Consumes 5000000 Psionic Points, gathering a large amount of white hole energy to condense a white hole vortex on the outer layer of the warship. For the next 3 seconds, all external attacks received by the warship will be sent into the depths of the Void Sea's dark side by this energy vortex, without causing any damage to the warship. Cooldown: 720 hours.}
{White Hole Overclocking Shield: White hole energy particles are extremely active, and the resulting overclocking energy shield is also effective against other attacks such as physical and mental attacks.}
This seven-colored energy shield can be described as top-grade. If the "Mythical Pulse Wave" characteristic extracted from the [Origin Improvement Platform] is used to replace it in the future, it will be considered one of the best among all seven-colored energy shields.

However, if you choose to take two of the rainbow pieces, you can only choose two more items from the remaining six, which is a bit of a dilemma.

"Alright, then it'll be [Star-Devouring Vine Heart] and [Earth Chain Stone Mother]."

After a moment's hesitation, Song Chi made up his mind.

[Alien Bio-Energy Purification Sculpture] [White Hole Halo Sky-Supporting Shield] [Star-Eating Vine Heart] [Earthly Mother Stone]

The eleventh-tier [Star-Devouring Vine Heart] was prepared for the ninth-tier [Golden Apple Mother Tree], and it will be useful for its future attempt to reach the tenth-tier mythical level.

The [Earth Chain Mother Stone] goes without saying; it's an extra upgrade resource for the Mythical-class Firefly Warship. Although it only increases the success rate of the Superdimensional Mothership's attempt to become a Mythical Immortal Ship by 2%, for the Sky Ruins Sky Ship, which can attempt to become a Mythical Immortal Ship multiple times, this 2% success rate is far more significant than it appears on paper.

After making his choice, Song Chi's gaze lingered on the other items for a while, as he was extremely envious of the other four as well.

The eleventh-tier [Golden Apple] allows him to selectively upgrade one of the three-colored quality [Bodhisattva Meditation Seal], [Chicang's No. 004 Cultivation Secret Realm], or [Miracle Cloning Pod] to five-colored.

The five-colored [Artifact Power Stone] can charge a specified artifact for a certain number of uses. Although it can only be used once, its value is undeniable. For example, the "Twelve Lives" property of the [Time Chessboard] has already been used once. If it could be used on the [Time Chessboard], the number of uses would be replenished. However, this [Artifact Power Stone] is only five-colored and cannot be used directly on the [Time Chessboard].

The Hyperspace Jump Device is a jump component whose performance far surpasses that of the Space Jump Device and the Crimson Sky Jump Device, and can make up for this shortcoming of the Sky Ruins Sky to a certain extent.

As for the final tenth-tier [Asura Blood Organ], it is the last essence remnant of a mythical Asura, which is of great benefit to the Asura Emperor under Song Chi's command, who has already reached the peak of the ninth tier.

Over the past tens of thousands of years, the Asura Emperor has received excellent training under his command. He not only has access to ninth-tier [All-Attribute Training Room] and ninth-tier [Wizard Magic Auxiliary Training Pod], but he also recently devoured a lot of flesh and blood of tenth-tier Xuan Frost Wyverns and has now reached the peak of the ninth tier.

If it can acquire this tenth-tier [Asura Blood Organ] of the same origin, it will be of great benefit to its future attempt to break through to the mythology level.

Seemingly noticing the change in Song Chi's expression, Jiang Yuan and Ji Heng, standing to one side, spoke directly:

"So, you've made your choice?"

Song Chi nodded, told the two of them his choice, and then tentatively asked:

"Emperor Jiang, Empress Ji, that tenth-tier [Asura Blood Organ] is of great use to my ninth-tier Asura Emperor. Can it be exchanged for other items?"

"Of course!"

Jiang Yuan and the other person agreed without any hesitation.

This [Asura Blood Organ] was obtained by Ying Yi during a space exploration 100,000 years ago. Although it is a mythical object, the killing intent contained in its heart is too strong. Ordinary beings would find it difficult to withstand this enormous killing will and fuse with it, so it has been left until now.

Upon hearing this, Song Chi took out a mid-grade [Chaos Mirror Stone]. A mid-grade [Chaos Mirror Stone] can mirror a three-colored rare object, and its value is roughly equivalent to that of the Asura Blood Organ, making it the perfect item for exchange.

After dealing with all this, Song Chi immediately bid farewell to the two emperors, as he needed to quickly transform the items in his possession into actual combat power for the Heavenly Ruins Sky.

The Heavenly Ruins Marketplace, with the Heavenly Ruins Sky Dome suspended in the sky.

Inside the warship's main control room, flashes of light accompanied the movement of the lights.

The two components, 【White Hole Aura Sky-Supporting Shield】 and 【Alien Bio-Energy Purification Sculpture】, were successively upgraded to level 110.

After reaching the eleventh level of enhancement, the attributes of the two colorful artifacts were greatly improved.

What caught Song Chi's attention the most was the "Characteristic 4" of the [White Hole Aura Sky-Supporting Shield].

{The white hole aura constantly provides an energy shield, actively absorbing 75% of external damage when attacked.}
In other words, as long as the energy shield is not overloaded, all external attacks will have their power reduced by 3/4 when they hit the Sky Ruins. When the enhancement level reaches lv120, this ratio can reach 4/5 (80%).

This single attribute boost is enough to make the Sky Ruins Skyship far more powerful than ever before.

However, that was not enough. Song Chi did not rush to the [Immortal Realm Continent Ruins]. The skeletal giant nurtured by the [Skeletal Tomb], which had been enhanced to level 110, had been summoned several times when the expeditionary fleet set out for the Lanikea River system. At present, its skeleton integrity had not yet been restored to 100%.

As one of the few mythical-level trump cards on the Sky Ruins, the skeletal giant is one of the reasons why he has the confidence to explore the [Immortal Realm Continent Ruins] later. Naturally, he has to wait for it to be fully nurtured before setting off again.

……

The Corpse Emperor Clan's river system cluster, the ninth-level Dragon Spine Continent.

Deep within the Dragon Ridge Sacred Mountain lies the Dragon Whale Palace.

Two figures stood in the ancient hall shrouded in chaotic mist: Song Chi and Song Shiyuan, whose ship had recently been upgraded to a starship.

Upon receiving the five-colored [Origin Starlight Shield] component from Song Chi, Song Shiyuan's eyes lit up with joy.

The Fudo Myo-o ship is currently equipped with a black energy shield. He had recently broken through to the eighth level of his guiding technique and was planning how to obtain a tricolor quality energy shield. He never expected Song Chi to give him such a big surprise.

Besides, he was also happy for Song Chi.

Since the five-color quality [Origin Starlight Shield] has been replaced, it means that the energy shield installed on the Sky Ruins Skyship will only be of higher quality, at the very least it will be a top-quality five-color shield.

Once he regained his composure, he quickly followed up on Song Chi's earlier question:

"For nearly ten thousand years, adhering to the policy of fully lifting the population limit of the family as the family is about to be upgraded to the fifth pillar royal family of civilization, the number of direct bloodline descendants of the family has now exceeded 100 billion, and the number of captains of the Torch Ship has exceeded 1 billion."

"Among them, the number of captains from Tier 0 to Tier 3 exceeds one billion, the number of Tier 4 Deer Chaser captains exceeds three million, the number of Tier 5 battleship captains exceeds two hundred thousand, and the number of Tier 6 Dreadnought captains has also exceeded ten thousand."

"As for the clan elders at the seventh-tier Annihilation level and above, the current accurate number is 382, ​​including 4 Starship Captains and 1 Superdimensional Captain."

Upon hearing this, Song Chi raised an eyebrow.

"Oh? Another Starship Captain has emerged from the family? Who is it?"

Upon hearing his question, Song Shiyuan smiled.

"It's none other than that kid Yiming."

Originally, Song Chi thought it would be Song Xingru or Song Xuancang, but when he heard it was Song Yiming, he was quite surprised.

In his memory, Song Yiming's gains from exploring the Origin Star for more than 10,000 years were only mediocre. He never expected that without his help, this kid would silently break through to become a Starship Captain.

"Here's the thing. After the Origin Star ended, this kid started an exploration of an alien star field. He was lucky and stumbled upon a civilization remnant from the multiverse era. He obtained a high-level extra advancement resource from it. Combined with the amount of luck and holy blood he had accumulated on the Chaos God Continent, he was able to successfully complete his advancement."

"It's just that you were focused on the expedition to the Lanikea River system, so the old man decided not to disturb you."

After hearing the whole story, Song Chi nodded gently.

In this way, the family now has four Starship Captains, but that is still not enough.

"It's not enough. The family's strength is still too weak. If the previous policies continue, we will make up for the lack of advanced combat power with a large population base. Next, our Shining Fire Civilization will face the biggest crisis in its history. It is hard to say whether we can survive."

In the event of an unforeseen calamity, the larger the family's population, the greater the likelihood of continued existence after the collapse of civilization. This order must be issued to the entire clan, and no negligence is permitted for the next ten thousand years!

"Ok!"
