As the Skyfall Skyship shone with dazzling light, Song Chi's mind raced. Because time was running out, he didn't hesitate and poured all the resources he had prepared into the Skyfall Skyship.

As these resources were invested one by one, the success rate of the upgrade displayed on the Tianxu Cangqiong warship's upgrade panel unsurprisingly continued to increase, rising to a very considerable level in a short period of time.

【Warship Upgrade Mission (Skyfall Dome)】

【当前晋升成功率：58.000001%（初始0.000001%+沐浴十阶玄霜翼龙之血7%+十阶地狱三头犬气运圣血6%+十阶灰雾能量体气运圣血5%+九阶尸皇气运圣血1%+九阶罗刹族气运圣血0.5%+神话始祖源血5%+特殊资源配方10%+星核之泪20%+地琏石母2%+沐浴星辰大陆本源能量潮汐+3%】

……

58%. After hesitating for a moment, Song Chi quickly shook his head, clearly not satisfied with this success rate.

Without much hesitation, he turned his attention to another special component on the Sky Ruins.

[Miracle Cloning Pod]

Strictly speaking, it is the Miracle Cloning Pod that is mirrored by the Chaos Mirror Stone. The original Miracle Cloning Pod is currently cloning the Blood Holy Grail, while this mirrored Miracle Cloning Pod is cloning the Life Prayer.

With his mind's control, the cloned [Life Prayer] component was activated. At the same time, the core spaces of the three level-nine resource-type floating landmasses located in the territory under the jurisdiction of the Song family in the Corpse Emperor Clan's river system simultaneously flickered with a ghostly light.

The wisps of the floating land's essence were being slowly extracted; these were the three floating lands that Song Chi had bound in advance using the mirror image of the [Life Prayer Sacrifice].

By gathering most of the original essence of the three level-nine resource floating continents, the success rate of the Heavenly Ruins Sky Dome's advancement skyrocketed once again.

Mirroring the [Life Prayer] increases the success rate by 20%.

After that, the success rate of the Tianxu Cangqiong ship's advancement immediately reached 78.000001%.

For Song Chi in the past, a promotion success rate of less than 80% would have been unacceptable. However, with the assistance of two [Time Chessboard] components, this basic success rate is now more than sufficient.

"Now! The Heavenly Ruins and Azure Sky, begin your assault on the Mythical Immortal Ship!"

Song Chi narrowed his eyes and officially pressed the promotion button.

Buzz!
A strong spatial humming sound came from the hull of the Sky Ruins Sky Ship, and a faint power of rules lingered around it, which also brought Song Chi's tension to the extreme.

In fact, he still had a [Crossing Calamity Primordial Breaking Saint Pill], which was enough to raise the success rate of the Heavenly Ruins Sky to 100%. However, because this super immortal pill was extremely rare and could provide a significant boost to the future Mythical Immortal Ship's attempt to become a Mythical Origin Ship, Song Chi kept the [Crossing Calamity Primordial Breaking Saint Pill] after seeing that the basic success rate of the advancement was already quite high.

"Hopefully, we can save this for when the Skyfall Dome challenges the Myth Origin Ship..."

While muttering to himself, Song Chi's gaze never left the Sky Ruins Skyship in the sky above.

He had already made up his mind that if the Heavenly Ruins Sky could not complete the advancement on the first try, he would use his share of the Fire and Fortune on the second try. If he failed on the second try, he would use the [Crossing Calamity Primordial Breaking Saint Pill] without hesitation on the third try.

Just as Song Chi's mind raced and he watched intently, the advancement of the Tianxu Cangqiong had entered its most critical moment.

Boom!

The entire Earth's core space trembled violently, and an energy tide even more violent than when the [Immortal Qin Ancestral Dragon] was promoted was forcibly absorbed and surged wildly into the hull of the [Heavenly Ruins Azure Sky].

On the ship's hull, the neutron star nuclear armor, which had evolved to a five-colored quality, seemed to have transformed into a bottomless dark vortex, greedily devouring the primordial energy from the tenth-order star continent. Ripples of time and space spread out to an unprecedented extent, distorting everything around them into a bizarre and grotesque spectacle.

As time went by, the advancement of the [Sky Ruins] seemed to have triggered some deeper changes.

Zizzi——!
A piercing noise suddenly came from inside the ship, and the originally smooth lines on the surface of the ship began to twist irregularly, as if countless invisible hands were tearing and pounding the ship's structure, trying to completely disintegrate it.

Song Chi's heart jumped into his throat.

“It’s not that simple after all…” His eyes were serious, but he didn’t panic.

A base success rate of 78% may seem high, but the difficulty of advancing a warship to a mythical level, especially for a warship like the [Sky Void] with its extremely special foundation, integration of multiple supreme rules, and configuration far exceeding those of its peers, is also far beyond ordinary.

Every structural reorganization and every imprint of rules comes with enormous risks.

Inside the warship, silvery-white light threads representing the law of time, pitch-black cracks representing the law of space, and eternal fireballs representing the law of light were frantically intertwining and colliding, attempting to merge into one under the infusion of immense energy, imprinting themselves as immortal mythological rule runes.

This process is fraught with uncertainty; a slight misstep could result in the ship's destruction.

Just as the ship's vibrations reached their peak, and even faint cracking sounds could be heard, Song Chi almost thought that his first promotion would end in failure. But then, a stunning reversal occurred.

As the saying goes, things reach their extremes and then reverse. After the frequency of the ship's vibrations reached its limit, the advancement process of the [Sky Ruins] gradually became more stable.

Time passes little by little.

On the warship's hull, the silver, black, and crimson light no longer clashed, but instead rotated gently, eventually condensing into complex new rule runes containing the triple mysteries of time, space, and light.

These runes are deeply imprinted on every inch of metal and every unit of the Sky Ruins Sky ship, endowing it with the mythical characteristics of eternal immortality.

Buzz…!
As the final rule rune took shape, a mythical pressure that was in no way inferior to the [Immortal Qin Ancestral Dragon], and even more mysterious and profound in some aspects, suddenly erupted.

This pressure was not a pure crushing force, but a supreme aura that seemed to control time and space and overlook the eternal cycle of reincarnation.

Under this oppressive force, the Earth's core seemed to freeze, the flow of time became abnormal, the spatial structure was layered upon layered, and even light seemed to be frozen.

It worked!
The Sky Ruins and Azure Sky also succeeded on their first attempt, officially joining the ranks of mythical immortal ships.

"it is good!"

Not far behind, Ying Yi's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he couldn't help but praise. The Torch Civilization had gained another mythical immortal ship, and with another success – a great stroke of luck!

Song Chi let out a long sigh of relief, his tense mind finally relaxing, and an uncontrollable look of ecstasy appeared on his face.

Feeling the closer connection with the [Sky Void] that seemed to allow him to perceive the very essence of time and space, and experiencing the boundless power emanating from the warship, he was filled with excitement.

"Congratulations!" Ying Yi's voice came through, carrying sincere congratulations.

"Congratulations to you, thanks to His Majesty!" Song Chi replied with a smile, in high spirits.

"No need for such formalities, just call me Ying Yi. From now on, you are the true fifth Human Emperor of the Torch Civilization. Let's address each other as equals!"

Upon hearing this, Song Chi's expression remained unchanged, but he understood its meaning.

Prior to this, although he had earned the qualification to establish the Fifth Flame Empire by contributing information such as the Time Chessboard and the High Dimension Sea, and Jiang Yuan, Ji Heng, Ying Yi and the other two had tacitly agreed to this, at that time he was inferior in terms of seniority, strength, and the power of his family.

Although the four emperors did not say much about this, they did not fully agree in their hearts.

Now things are different. With the Tianxu Cangqiong Ship officially upgraded to a mythical immortal ship, it means that he is now on the same level as Jiang Yuan and the other three, and it also means that the four of them have truly recognized him.

Simply put, from today onwards, he can establish the Fifth Flame Empire whenever he wants.

Although he understood this, Song Chi was not prepared to do so. Given the current external situation of the Torch Civilization, now was definitely not a good time to establish the Fifth Torch Empire.

Buzz!
Two newly ascended mythical immortal ships slowly emerged from the core space of the Immortal Qin Continent and soon appeared in the sky above the Immortal Qin Continent. The terrifying mythical power shone brightly, exuding a terrifying power that could suppress the universe.

The advancement of the Immortal Qin Continent is nearing its end. At this moment, among the hundreds of thousands, even millions, of the various tiers of the Flame-Burning Warships on the continent's surface, countless captains are looking up at this scene with shocked expressions.

After a brief silence, cheers as loud as mountains and seas erupted from the surface of the floating land.

The appearance of two newly ascended mythical immortal ships made even the lower-ranking captains understand what it meant.

However, both Ying Yi and Song Chi knew that their current success was just the beginning.

Although detailed battle reports from the direction of the Human Emperor City have not yet arrived, the sense of impending doom has already been conveyed through the Fire Seed Network.

"Our two flagships and the Immortal Qin Continent have both completed their upgrades. Next is the Guiding Technique. We must break through as soon as possible so that we can fully support the [Human Emperor City]!" Song Chi's smile faded, and he said solemnly.

Ying Yi nodded slightly, his gaze seemingly piercing through a higher dimension, seeing the devastated, chaotic city.

"The alien races have never given up their desire to destroy us. Their retreat this time must be for a greater purpose. We must break through as soon as possible to ensure the safety of the Human Emperor City!"

"Otherwise, I'm afraid we'll have no choice but to temporarily abandon the [Human Emperor City] and defend the Shattered Star Sea territory. But now, our Humanity of the Flame has five Mythical Immortal Ships, plus several Mythical-level enslaved creatures. We are in a phase of rapid expansion of our civilization. How can we tolerate losing the [Human Emperor City], our largest source of high-level resources?"

As soon as the words were spoken, the [Immortal Qin Ancestral Dragon] and the [Heavenly Ruins Azure Sky] simultaneously vanished into the void.

The [Immortal Qin Ancestral Dragon] has returned to the core space of the Immortal Qin Continent for seclusion.

Song Chi's [Tianxu Cangqiong] entered the Zhutianxu City directly after leaving the Immortal Qin Continent.

Although the market has not yet advanced to the tenth rank, the all-attribute training room's enhancement of psionic energy cultivation is unlikely to have a significant effect on the breakthrough of the tenth-rank guiding technique, but it is better than nothing.

Of course, before that, Song Chi had upgraded the [Psionic Cultivation Platform] on the Sky Ruins Sky to level 100. Combined with the remaining [Purple-Patterned Peaches] in his possession, the amplification effect was quite considerable.

Next, he only needs to adjust his own state as soon as possible, and when the time is right, he will directly use the [Primordial Limitless Pill] to try to break through to the tenth level of the Guiding Technique.

As for the Sky Ruins, which has just completed its upgrade, he is not in a hurry to strengthen it.

Regardless of resources, with the gains from the previous exploration of the Origin Star, plus the stable distribution of Mythical Souls from the Fallen God Sea, he now has an extremely abundant supply of high-level enhancement resources.

The key reason lies in the guidance technique. The Heavenly Ruins Sky is already a mythical immortal ship, but if it is forcibly driven into combat by the ninth-order guidance technique, it will be a huge burden on the captain himself. For this reason, he did not even rush to recall the ninth-order superdimensional mothership warship clone that was far away in the Human Emperor City.

……

At the same time, in the Chaotic Divine Continent, in the Human Emperor City.

The news that the Sky Ruins and the Immortal Qin Ancestral Dragon had completed their upgrades was immediately conveyed to the entire city through Jiang Yuan and Ji Heng, which greatly boosted the morale of all the captains of the Fireship in the city.

The encrypted communication group chat jointly built by Shenxia Jiuli and Xuanhuang Chiyu:

"Jiang Yuan: Ferdinand, Ying Yi, and Tanlang's flagships have all successfully advanced to Mythical level, so our only task now is to buy them enough time for their subsequent breakthroughs in guidance techniques."

"Ji Heng: That's right. As long as they complete the breakthrough in the guiding technique, we will have five mythical immortal ships and five mythical enslaved creatures. In addition, with the strategic seven-colored components such as the [Gods Diagram], the [Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Talisman], the [Light of Order], and the [Light of Judgment], our Human Imperial City will be safe from danger. We can even use this to gain control of more Chaos Cities."

……

With Jiang Yuan and Ji Heng speaking up, the group chat immediately became lively. However, after some back and forth, the topic eventually returned to the issue of "taking the initiative".

All the captains who possessed advanced warship clones signed up for this initiative, eager to contribute their share.

Of course, the key is to obtain more civilization contribution points. After all, in order to motivate everyone, the four great empires of the Fire of the Ages, including Songchi, have proactively put up a lot of good items in the [Civilization Contribution Shop].

This includes, but is not limited to, the Tri-Colored Upgrade Fire Source, the Eleventh-Tier Golden Apple, the Soul of Myth, the Tenth-Tier Mythical Source Blood, the Primordial Limitless Pill, the Five-Colored Upgrade Fire Source, and various Seven-Colored Components.

All the Star Destroyer and higher-ranking captains coveted these items, and for this reason, they did everything they could to kill the alien races and earn civilization contributions.

However, under their expectant gazes, Jiang Yuan and Ji Heng solemnly shook their heads.

“No, the previous surprise attack will only make them more vigilant. This time, we will only launch a proactive attack, targeting my and Ji Heng’s flagship clones, plus the Tianxu Cangqiong mirror warship left behind by Tanlang.”
