National Star Sea Era...

Chapter 892 Summary of Family Heritage

After Song Hanyu's and even Song Chi's own marriage was arranged, the delegations of the four great empires departed one after another. Only now did Song Chi turn his gaze to the Big Dipper Palace and other immortal giant forces waiting on the side.

Without him needing to ask anything, the representatives of several factions, sensing his expression, proactively requested:
"Your Majesty, we have come to disturb you today because we wish to obtain a [Primordial Chaos Limitless Pill]..."

Song Chi remained calm, showing no surprise whatsoever. He had already guessed this, but...

"Well, tell me what resources you can offer in exchange..."

He had previously opened up the market for trading, and two of the companies in front of him had already obtained one [Primordial Chaos Limitless Pill]. However, since they had come to see him privately under the guise of celebrating the establishment of the Heavenly Ruins Divine Court, it naturally meant that both of their [Primordial Chaos Limitless Pills] had been wasted.

In short, these individuals definitely don't have enough to collect a set of Seven-Colored Fire Seed artifacts plus 10kg of Time Source Crystals; they most likely intend to trade other rare resources for it.

Song Chi was not averse to this. He currently had several extra [Primordial Limitless Pills], and after deducting the one he needed to keep for his own Dragon Spine Tyrant Whale, he had a considerable surplus.

If he could offer something that interested him enough, he wouldn't mind trading a few more.

……

Boom boom boom!
Inside the Song family's welcoming hall, subtle tapping sounds emanated continuously. Song Chi, seated in the main position, lightly tapped the jade armrest with his fingertips. Although the sound was not loud, it seemed to resonate in the hearts of the several immortal giants below.

His gaze calmly swept over the Lord of the Big Dipper Star, the old director of Xianqin Heavy Industry, Pei Xingkong, Tan Renhong, and others, his voice indifferent yet carrying an undeniable authority:
"The Primordial Limitless Pill can increase the success rate of breaking through to the Myth level by three levels. It is a divine object that can defy fate and change one's destiny. You should know its value. Don't bring out anything that is not of equal value."

The Lord of the Big Dipper bowed first, his tone revealing an undisguised urgency and respect:
"Your Majesty, this is a five-colored component preserved in the secret vault of my Big Dipper Palace, along with the mining rights to a large [Titanium Crystal] vein that was recently discovered. In exchange for this, I would like to ask for a divine pill. Is that acceptable?"

Upon hearing this, Song Chi shook his head slightly, his tone flat and emotionless:

"The colorful components are of little use to the Sky Ruins and Azure Sky, and the large titanium crystal vein is a non-renewable vein, so its value is also limited."

The value of the resources offered by the Big Dipper Palace was not low, but they were not very attractive to Songchi and Tianxu Divine Court, which had already stood at the pinnacle of civilization.

Upon hearing this, the Lord of the Big Dipper's face darkened. He opened his mouth, but ultimately failed to offer anything more appealing to Song Chi. He could only helplessly take a step back, his face showing considerable resentment.

As the first major power to invest in the Heavenly Ruins Divine Court, the Big Dipper Seven Star Palace now governs more than ten galaxies, and its strength is far beyond what it used to be. However, for them, if they do not cultivate mythical combat power, they will eventually fall out of the ranks of immortal giant powers of the Torch Civilization.

No one paid attention to the changes in the Big Dipper Star Lord's emotions. Pei Xingkong of the Fuyao Pei Clan had already stood up.

As the only superdimensional captain of the Fuyao Pei Clan, with the support of his family's foundation spanning countless millennia, Pei Xingkong, though having only recently ascended to the superdimensional realm, has already entered the ranks of senior superdimensional captains in terms of his flagship's combat power. However, at this moment, he is extremely nervous.

He took a deep breath, stepped forward, and then a flash of light appeared in his hand, revealing an object.

It was an enormous heart, and even though it was imprisoned by powerful sealing forces, one could still feel the terrifying blood energy and boundless life essence contained within it.

The surface of the heart was covered with dark golden dragon scale-like patterns. Each barely perceptible pulsation caused the surrounding void to tremble slightly, emanating a savage, domineering, and almost immortal pressure.

"Your Majesty the Song Emperor," Pei Xingkong's voice was deep and resolute, carrying a hint of pride and determination, "My Fuyao Pei Clan is willing to exchange this item—the complete heart of a tenth-tier Dragon Spine Tyrant Whale—for a [Primordial Limitless Pill]!"

Upon hearing this, a slight commotion arose in the hall. Even Song Chi, who was sitting upright, narrowed his gaze slightly as he looked at the enormous heart.

The Dragon Spine Tyrant Whale is a powerful creature that ranks among the top of the bloodlines of the giant star beasts in the Shattered Star Sea. It is known for its terrifying physique, domineering dragon bloodline, and unparalleled growth potential.

The tenth-tier Dragonspine Tyrant Whale is no less powerful than the same-tier Firewood Warship.

This heart is the essence of its entire being, containing its most primal bloodline power and life rules, and its value is immeasurable.

Of course, the key point is that the Song family also happens to have a Dragon Spine Tyrant Whale, a ninth-tier Dragon Spine Tyrant Whale, which is about to attempt to break into the mythical realm.

This alone makes the tenth-tier Dragon Spine Tyrant Whale's heart even more valuable to the Song family.

With the assistance of this mythical heart, the success rate of the Song family's ninth-tier Dragon Spine Tyrant Whale's ascent to mythology will increase by at least 10%. With the addition of a [Primordial Limitless Pill], the success rate will approach 50%.

If we also consider the energy tides of the ninth-level floating continent, or the energy tides of the Star Continent floating continent, as well as the two [Time Chessboards], the success rate of advancement can be increased to 80% or even 90% or more.

Song Chi stared intently for a few breaths, then slowly nodded:
"The heart of a tenth-tier Dragon Spine Tyrant Whale is indeed of great use to my Song family. However, I can grant you one [Primordial Limitless Pill]. But with a success rate of just over 10%, the value of the two is not equal to that of 30%. How about adding a ninth-tier and three eighth-tier female Dragon Spine Tyrant Whales?"

Upon hearing this, Pei Xingkong's face instantly lit up with ecstasy and excitement, and he bowed deeply.
"Of course, thank you for Your Majesty's grace! The Pei family will forever be grateful!"

Subsequently, Xianqin Heavy Industry Group, the Gong family, and other forces also brought out their items, but none of them attracted Song Chi's attention.

Finally, it was Tan Renhong's turn to represent the Tianying Tan Clan. With a solemn expression, he carefully took out a piece of wood core about the length of an arm from his own storage space. It was dark gold in color but exuded a strange warmth and vitality.

The moment this tree heart appeared, the temperature in the entire reception hall seemed to rise slightly, and a pure, peculiar energy fluctuation that seemed to nourish all things spread out. There were even faint, subtle golden patterns flowing on its surface, making it extremely mysterious.

Tan Renhong's voice was filled with utmost solemnity:
"Your Majesty, my Tianying Tan Clan has unintentionally obtained this extraordinary treasure, which is the heartwood left behind by a mythical starry sky plant. I have heard that Your Majesty has been collecting such heartwoods, so I am presenting it to Your Majesty this time."

Tan Renhong couldn't confirm the specific information about the Starry Sky Plant Heart in his hand. The only thing he was certain of was that the original owner of this heart was definitely not an ordinary tenth-tier Starry Sky Plant.

Compared to Tan Renhong, a newly promoted superdimensional captain, Song Chi, as the master of the Zhutianxu Market, clearly had a much broader perspective.

With a casual wave of his hand, a surge of powerful mythical energy swept through the entire hall. Immediately afterward, the Starry Sky Plant Heart in Tan Renhong's hand floated into the air and quickly ended up in Song Chi's hands.

The shadow of double pupils appeared in the depths of his eyes as he rapidly analyzed the tree heart before him.

After several breaths, Song Chi's eyes suddenly lit up. Under the expectant gazes of the several powerful immortal figures below him, he said calmly:

It should be the remaining heartwood of a peak eleventh-order starry sky plant that failed to break through to the twelfth-order transcendence realm and perished—the [Starry Sky Extreme Sun Flower].

Although this object suffered damage to its life essence due to the failed attempt, it was still a remnant of a star plant that had attempted to reach the twelfth-order transcendence realm. The life essence energy contained within it still surpasses that of most peak eleventh-order star plant heart, making it even more valuable than the previous tenth-order Dragon Spine Tyrant Whale heart.

After hearing the explanation, Tan Renhong quickly stood up and bowed to Song Chi, saying:
"I wish to exchange this item for a [Primordial Chaos Limitless Pill], and I hope Your Majesty will grant my request!"

Song Chi had already made up his mind about this, and without much hesitation, he nodded in agreement.

"Can!"

The tree heart left behind after failing to break through to the twelfth rank... For him, who had always sought to break through to the tenth rank myth with the ninth rank [Golden Apple Mother Tree], the value of this tree heart goes without saying.

Including the tenth-tier Star Sea Sunflower Heart I obtained before, it can be said that the [Golden Apple Mother Tree] in the cultivation secret realm will have a high success rate of directly breaking through.

Tan Renhong immediately let out a long sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted, and quickly bowed deeply again:
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Song Emperor! The Tianying Tan Clan will forever remember Your Majesty's great kindness!"

The deal was now finalized.

With a wave of his hand, Song Chi sent out two [Primordial Limitless Pills], enveloped in chaotic energy, covered with Dao patterns, and exuding an intoxicating aura of the Great Dao, which landed in the hands of Pei Xingkong and Tan Renhong respectively.

The two carefully put away the divine pill, bowed respectfully again, and left the hall filled with excitement and gratitude. The North Star Lord and the others, disappointed, could only bow and take their leave.

The hall returned to silence. Song Chi played with the warm heartwood of the Starry Sky Extreme Sun Flower in his hand, and then looked at the heartwood of the Tenth-Order Dragon Spine Tyrant Whale that was still pulsating weakly. His eyes gleamed.

Although we have acquired these two items, neither the Dragon Spine Tyrant Whale nor the Golden Apple Mother Tree can be used directly. We will have to wait for a more suitable opportunity.

The Dragon Spine Tyrant Whale is doing well. The clan now governs nearly three hundred river systems, including many Star Sea Floating Continents that are at the critical juncture of advancement. After a period of time, the clan will once again assist a peak level eight floating continent in its attempt to break through to level nine. At that time, with the help of the primordial energy tide effect of the level nine floating continent, the Dragon Spine Tyrant Whale can completely attempt to break through to mythology.

In comparison, the Golden Apple Mother Tree is much more troublesome. Relying solely on a tenth-tier and an eleventh-tier Starry Sky Plant heartwood is not enough to guarantee a successful breakthrough. After all, the Golden Apple Mother Tree is different from flesh-and-blood beings like the Dragon Spine Tyrant Whale; it cannot use the Primordial Chaos Pill.

"No, we need to find at least another tenth-tier tree heart. If possible, an eleventh-tier one would be even safer. I just don't know how long that will take. Hopefully, we'll have better luck..."

"In addition, we must continue to acquire the remains of high-level creatures. The sooner the [Bone Tomb] nurtures an eleventh-tier bone giant, the combat power of the Sky Ruins will be further enhanced!"

……

Tianxu Continent, Dragon Ridge Divine Mountain, Dragon Whale Ancestral Temple.

This ancient hall, which carries the glory and heritage of the Song family for more than 20,000 years, appears particularly solemn and dignified today. The space inside the hall has long been expanded by the supreme spatial rules, as vast as the starry sky, filled with endless chaotic mist, completely isolating the space inside and outside the hall.

At this moment, within the main hall, divine light shone brightly, and powerful auras intertwined, converging into a vast pressure powerful enough to make the galaxy tremble.

More than five hundred figures, arranged in order of strength, sat on the floating star throne. Each of them was at least a seventh-tier star destroyer captain, the true backbone and core strength of the Song clan.

At the very top of the hall, on the "Immortal Throne" carved with patterns of the origin of the universe, Song Chi, dressed in casual clothes, calmly looked down at the elites of his clan gathered below. Although he did not deliberately exude pressure, his very existence was the absolute core of this world, as if he could decide the rise and fall of the starry sea with a single thought.

Slightly below Song Chi, on his left is Super Dimension Captain Song Yan, and on his right is the founding ancestor of the family, Star River Captain Song Wujiang.

Below him is Song Yiming, the current head of the Song family and one of the clan's starship captains.

Following them were a group of eighth-tier starship captains, including Song Shiyuan, Song Xingru, Shen Youran, and Song Hanyu, and more than six hundred seventh-tier star destroyer captains.

With such a lineup, they have already surpassed most of the immortal giants and clans of the Burning Flame Civilization. It can be said that the Song family now indeed has a hint of the Heavenly Pillar Royal Family's status.

"quiet!"

Song Yiming's voice was calm and steady, containing the will of the Star River Captain, and instantly spread throughout the entire vast palace.

The murmurs that had been building vanished instantly, and all the clansmen's eyes turned upwards, filled with awe, excitement, and pride.

"Today I have gathered you all here," Song Yiming said, surveying the room in a loud voice, "firstly, to celebrate the formal ascension of the Song Clan of Tianxu to the position of the Heavenly Pillar Royal Family, and the establishment of the Tianxu Divine Court in the Star Sea. Secondly, we need to conduct a comprehensive review and assessment of the Song Clan's current strength, to understand ourselves, so that we can better envision the future and safeguard this boundless territory for civilization!"

"Now, I will read out the summary of the strength of the Song Clan of Tianxu, based on the joint statistics of all branches of the clan!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a huge light screen descended from the palace dome, on which dense yet clearly organized golden characters began to appear, each character containing a vast flow of information.

Song Yiming's voice then rang out, synchronized with the content displayed on the screen:

"I. Bloodline Population: The direct bloodline of the Song clan is now spread across the 292 river systems under the jurisdiction of the Divine Court, with a total number of over 120 billion. Among them, the proportion of captains of the Torch Ship is increasing year by year, and a new generation of outstanding talents is emerging one after another!"

Although the vast majority of clansmen do not possess the qualifications of a captain, the number of geniuses born from a population of hundreds of billions is still considerable. This is the foundation upon which the clan has continued to thrive. Upon hearing this, many captains in the audience showed a hint of pride in their eyes.

"II. Top-tier combat power:"

"One Tier 10 Mythical Immortal Ship: [Heavenly Ruins Sky], commanded by the Fifth Human Emperor, Lord of the Divine Court, Chi Zu!"

"A tenth-tier enslaved mythical creature: [Mythical Asura]"

"One ninth-tier superdimensional mothership: commanded by superdimensional captain Song Yan!"

Upon hearing this, all the clansmen below involuntarily turned their fervent and awe-inspiring gazes toward Song Chi at the top and Song Yan beside him. The two were the absolute cornerstones of the Song clan and the symbols of the pillars of civilization.

"Eleven eighth-tier starships! Each commanded by Song Wujiang, Song Shiyuan, Song Xingru, etc."
"Six hundred and thirty-eight Tier 7 Star Destroyers. The list of commanders has been entered into the ancestral hall's quantum computer, and will not be read aloud here!" (The hearts of the more than six hundred Tier 7 captains below the stage were filled with excitement. This number far exceeded that of those immortal giants and clans!)
III. Strategic Resources:

"Three large, renewable titanium crystal veins!" (A low gasp rippled through the audience. These large, renewable titanium crystal veins were invaluable, the lifeline for maintaining and reinforcing the massive Firepower warship's components!)
"Fifteen medium-sized renewable titanium crystal veins!"

"Sixty-nine small-scale renewable titanium crystal veins!"

"In addition, the specific quantities of various levels of [Floating Land Origin], special [Energy Crystals], [Dominator True Spirit] reserves, various [Shipborne Components], [Special Shipborne Resources]... have been compiled into a top-secret list, accessible only to core members of the family."

IV. Territory and Vassal States:

"Directly governs 292 galaxies! (Subordinate to the Heavenly Ruins Divine Court, directly under the jurisdiction of the Song Clan)"

"Captive alien races: Ancient demons (over a million in number), Star Calamity Clan (over five million in number), Star Sea Giant Ape (over a million in number), and countless other low- to mid-level alien races."

"Enslavement of alien life-bearing floating continents, resource secret realms, and resource floating continents: the exact number is top secret, but their output accounts for about 20% of the family's total resource income!"

Behind each and every cold statistic lies an immense and profound power and foundation that is breathtaking.

Every Captain Song present was deeply moved and filled with excitement.

They knew all too well what power and authority these numbers represented. From the remote Dragon Ridge Continent to the Fifth Heavenly Pillar Royal Family, which now ruled over nearly three hundred galaxies and whose might shook the starry sea, what a leap this was.

Song Yiming's voice finally rose: "The above is the general foundation of my Tianxu Song Clan. This is the result of the joint efforts of all clan members, and it is also due to the glory of the Lord of the Divine Court!"

"However, the starry sea is boundless, and powerful enemies surround us. We must not slacken our efforts in the slightest. Today's review is not for complacency, but to understand our strengths and shortcomings. I hope you will all remember that the rise and fall of the clan depends on each and every one of us. We must cultivate diligently and strive for progress so as not to fail the name of the Heavenly Pillar Royal Family, to forever guard the Heavenly Ruins, and to let the flame of civilization shine!"

"May the Heavenly Ruins be forever guarded, and may the flame of glory shine forth!!" Below the stage, the captains of the seventh rank and above roared in unison, their voices like a tidal wave, shaking the entire Dragon Whale Ancestral Hall. Their boundless fighting spirit and conviction soared into the sky, as if to penetrate the hall and resound throughout the entire starry sea.

Sitting upright on the divine throne, Song Chi finally nodded slightly, a faint look of satisfaction on his face.

He slowly rose to his feet, and without saying a word, his gaze naturally became the sole focus of the entire room.

"good."

This single word seemed to contain endless praise and expectations, and it also brought a perfect end to this large-scale clan meeting that united the clan and took stock of its assets.

Following the clan council, the Song clan's massive war machine will expand into the far reaches of space with clearer goals and higher morale.
