Chapter 893 Mythical Starry Sky Plant [War Puppet Mother Tree]

The Heavenly Market, Market Trading Day, third floor of the Market Inn.

With a crisp sound, the door of a market shop opened with a bang, and the next second, a short creature with green skin and triangular eyes walked out.

At first glance, it looks completely ordinary, even a bit sleazy. But what outsiders don't know is that this seemingly ordinary creature was one of the earliest customers to enter the Zhutianxu Market.

Thanks to the immense profits provided by the Heavenly Market over the past 20,000 years, the former goblin Luke has long since risen to the ranks of seventh-tier rulers. In the Silver Goblin Empire, he has long been hailed as a great god, and is regarded as the god of goblins by hundreds of billions of Silver Goblins.

However, compared to the arrogance and self-satisfaction that Luke always wore on his face more than 10,000 years ago, he has been much more low-key in the last 10,000 years.

There's no way around it; anyone who witnessed the arrival of the Origin Star and saw tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, of eighth and ninth-tier ruler-level alien races gathered in the Heavenly Market during that time would have their sense of pride in breaking through to the seventh tier vanish in an instant.

However, Luke seemed different today compared to the past. His triangular eyes revealed an undisguised joy, and after leaving the market inn, he rushed straight to the rare item exchange shop.

……

"Reporting to the great Lord of the Marketplace, Luke has some information about the quest you issued three hundred years ago: [Collect the heart of a mythical starry plant or related information]."

In the Void of the City, in an area so low that it was impossible to see anything below, the mythical immortal warship, the Sky Void Azure Sky, hovered silently. Inside the warship's main control room, Song Chi, who had been in seclusion on the Level 109 [Psionic Cultivation Platform], suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes.

The information revealed by the goblin Luke immediately caught his attention.

Now, only a few thousand years remain before the collapse of the [Botian Ruins]. Advancing the [Golden Apple Mother Tree] to the tenth rank a day earlier could mean several more rounds of tenth-rank [Golden Apples] being produced.

This is also the key to the continued surge in the combat power of the Sky Ruins Sky. After all, it has only just been promoted to a Mythical Immortal Ship, and it is impossible to break through to the eleventh-tier Mythical Origin Ship in a short period of time. If it wants to continue to enhance the combat power of the Sky Ruins Sky, it can only try from other aspects.

[Continue!]

Inside the rare item exchange shop, Luke's heart skipped a beat, and then, not daring to linger any longer, he quickly explained:

"My lord, this matter must begin with the start of the interstellar colonization era of my Silver Goblin Empire. Over the past 20,000 years, as the empire has continuously expanded and explored the surrounding star regions, the territory under its control has become increasingly astonishing. However, not long ago, one of our extraterrestrial magic energy exploration fleets suddenly lost contact. After confirmation, it was determined that the star region where the exploration fleet lost contact was most likely related to a super star plant."

As he spoke, Luke waved his hand lightly and took out an item from his magic energy storage ring.

With a wave of his hand, the item in Luke's hand vanished instantly, reappearing in the main control room of the Sky Ruins.

"This is... a wooden puppet?"

Song Chi frowned as his gaze swept over the wooden animal puppet in front of him.

According to Luke, these beast-shaped puppets, or rather, beast-shaped wooden golems, are special creatures active in that star field. It is because of these special wooden golems that Luke guessed that there was a super-level star plant deep in that star field.

"That's right. This wooden puppet does indeed contain an extremely strong aura of the life essence of a starry sky plant. It should undoubtedly be a mythical starry sky plant."

Muttering to himself, Song Chi didn't rush to reply to Luke. Instead, he frantically mobilized the power of the mythical rank within the Heavenly Ruins Market, along with his own mythical life level of tenth rank. With the support of both, he devoted himself to analyzing the deeper information inside the wooden puppet in front of him.

After several dozen breaths, he completely analyzed the wooden puppet, and all the energy, origin, rules, etc. inside it were no longer concealed in his eyes.

But that wasn't all. With a thought, he instructed the [Sky Brain] to retrieve detailed information on all types of star plants in the current warship database and compare them one by one.

In less than two minutes, Song Chi had identified one of the starry sky plants.

【Name: War Puppet Mother Tree】

[Affiliation: Starry Sky Plants]

[Potential: Extremely High]

[Introduction: A rare cosmic plant with the ability to nurture various combat puppets. Given sufficient resources, it can nurture combat puppets one tier higher than itself (but cannot surpass major tiers such as Star Lord, Overlord, or Myth), making it a terrifying creature comparable to the Zerg Queen.]

[Incomplete list of battle puppet types: Starry Sky Beast Puppet, Four-Winged Battle Puppet, Wooden Spike Demon Puppet, Fortress Mother Puppet, Shadow Puppet, Self-Destructing Bee Puppet, Tree Stump Puppet, etc.]

[Note: This starry sky plant is extremely dangerous. If you encounter a War Puppet Mother Tree of the same or even higher tier, don't hesitate, run!]

After reviewing the information recorded in the data, Song Chi's gaze sharpened.

It's easy to see from the information at hand that this [War Puppet Mother Tree] is definitely the most difficult to provoke, especially since it's a mythical-level [War Puppet Mother Tree].

Although he hesitated for a moment, he quickly replied to Luke.

[Good. Before this trading day ends, construct a multi-dimensional teleportation platform as soon as possible. You won't need to worry about it afterward. As a reward, you can choose any rare item of tri-color quality or lower from the rare item exchange shop.]

"Thank you, sir!"

Luke was overjoyed and didn't linger. He quickly returned to the inn and went to build the Sub-Heavens Teleportation Platform in the star system where the Silver Goblin Empire was located.

Although the reply was quick, Song Chi remained uneasy, considering whether he should really try to take advantage of the [War Puppet Mother Tree].

After hesitating for a moment, he quickly shook his head.

"Regardless of all that, let's first investigate the [Battle Puppet Mother Tree]. If it's just a tenth-tier [Battle Puppet Mother Tree], we can give it a try. But if it's higher than tenth-tier, then we'll have to deal with it another day."

With the current combat power of the Sky Ruins Sky, it is not impossible to fight against an ordinary eleventh-tier [War Puppet Mother Tree], but the risk is still considerable, and Song Chi is unwilling to take that risk.

……

Three months later, it was still the Heavenly Market.

Song Chi frowned. Just now, the warship clone he sent to the Silver Goblin Empire, with its enhanced level 120 [Three Realms and Five Elements Certificate], successfully glimpsed the relevant information about the [War Puppet Mother Tree].

However, the result was not very good.

Although the [War Puppet Mother Tree] had not reached the eleventh rank, it was already at the peak of the tenth rank. More importantly, it had also nurtured two golden-horned giant whale war puppets of the eleventh rank, and the number of tenth-rank wooden puppets exceeded double digits. It was definitely not a force to be reckoned with.

The discovery of this information undoubtedly put Song Chi in a difficult position. The opponent's mediocre strength perfectly deviated from the two plans he had previously devised.

However, after a moment's thought, he quickly made a decision.

"If the [Skeleton Tomb] can successfully nurture an eleventh-tier bone giant, then with two eleventh-tier bone giants, a mythical Asura, and two Sky Ruins Sky Ships, it seems that we might not be unable to fight."

In addition, Song Chi thought of another point.

"If the market can advance to the tenth rank before then, the chances of success will be even greater..."

Thinking of this, Song Chi recalled the Sky Ruins and left the market.

After returning to the Tianxu Continent, he summoned his warship again and headed straight for the Divine Xia Dynasty's ancestral continent, the Divine Xia Continent.

...The Human Galaxy Community of the Burning Flame, the Divine Xia Dynasty, the Divine Xia Continent.

"Jiang Yuan, how's the extraction of those four eleventh-tier mythical alien corpses going?"

In a secret room of the Jiang family in Tianzhu, Song Chi, who had just arrived, went straight to the point.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan shook her head.

"The extraction of mythical source blood from the eleventh-tier alien corpse is too difficult. To date, it would probably take more than a thousand years to complete the extraction of the first alien corpse."

"millennium?"

Song Chi's mood instantly soured. This amount of time was not much for a mythical captain, but it was hard for him to accept. After all, the time agreed upon with the Will of Heaven was getting closer and closer, and they didn't have much time left.

After a moment's thought, he made a special suggestion.

"In that case, could you please provide me with a single eleventh-tier corpse? I'd like to try refining it in a different way."

In the battle of the Human Emperor City, all five of them contributed a great deal of effort. Naturally, Jiang Yuan would not refuse his request, and soon the remains of the Chaos Giant Elephant were transferred to Song Chi's hands.

"Now that we have the remains of the Chaos Giant Elephant, all that's left is to upgrade the market."

Song Chi's idea was simple: to accelerate the advancement of the Heavenly Market as soon as possible. In his judgment, the market's advancement from the ninth to the tenth rank was a major advancement, and the increase in the market's mythical power would be even greater, at least from the tenth rank to the eleventh rank. At that time, he could easily complete the refining of the chaotic elephant's corpse with the help of the market.

After extracting the mythical source blood, the remains of the Chaos Giant can be placed into the [Skeleton Tomb] to accelerate the gestation of the eleventh-tier skeletal giant.

Now that a plan was in place, Song Chi didn't delay any longer. After returning to the Divine Court, he devoted himself to the Heavenly Market and worked hard to accelerate its advancement.

More than ninety years later, after another market trading day ended, Song Chi, who was alone high in the sky above the market, quickly opened the attribute panel of the Heavenly Market.

【Name: All Heavens Market】

[Level: lv99]

……

【升级所需：1000缕浮陆本源（九阶）、10浮陆本源（十阶）、墟市交易额度满四百五十万缕九阶浮陆本源（4520890/4500000）、1份九阶主宰真灵、1份神话之魂。】

With the core members of the family generating a large amount of transaction volume, in less than a century, all the promotion conditions of the Heavenly Ruins Market were finally fully met.

[Upgrade requirements have been met. Upgrade now?]

Song Chi stared intently at the prompt on the panel, a look of anticipation flashing in his eyes. He took a deep breath and said in a low voice:

"upgrade!"

In an instant, the entire Zhutianxu Market shook violently.

Above the sky, countless law runes appeared out of thin air, weaving into a giant net covering the entire market. The buildings throughout the market also began to undergo earth-shattering changes. As the market's laws transformed into rules, they also underwent a fundamental transformation.

[The Celestial Market has begun its advancement to the tenth rank, and the power of the Mythical Rank is undergoing a transformation... The current time required for advancement is: ten years.]

Feeling the rumbling sounds coming from the depths of the market, the shops automatically expanded, their internal space increasing several times over, and the number of shops increased exponentially.

The ten-year promotion time was a little unexpected, but acceptable, considering it was a major promotion.

Time flies, and ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

When Song Chi reappeared in the Heavenly Market, he could clearly feel that his control over the market had improved dramatically.

To his even greater surprise, the market's coverage area expanded several times over.

Of course, the most crucial factor is the immense power of mythical rank that permeates the market. Without needing to examine the specific attributes of the market, he can sense that the current mythical rank enhancement is more than a hundred times stronger than before.

Under the vast sky above the market, Song Chi closed his eyes and sensed this transformation. When he opened his eyes again, it seemed that he already had the answer in them.

"It really is the power of an eleventh-tier mythical rank... and it doesn't seem to be an ordinary eleventh-tier rank, but rather the peak of the eleventh tier!"

Thinking of this, he didn't even immediately check the new attribute panel of the market. Instead, he took out the corpse of the eleventh-tier chaotic elephant without hesitation and then activated the power of the market's position.

A dazzling beam of light descended from the sky, completely enveloping the remains of the chaotic giant elephant.

The power of a peak eleventh-tier mythical rank was incredibly fast at extracting the remains of an eleventh-tier mythical being. In just half a year, the drop of eleventh-tier mythical source blood in the remains of the chaotic giant elephant was extracted, leaving only a pile of bones that still retained the pressure of an eleventh-tier mythical being.

[Mythical Blood Extraction Completed; Remaining Eleventh-Tier Mythical Bones Begin to be Infused into the Skeleton Tomb...]

The remaining remains were thrown into the warship component [Skeleton Tomb], immediately causing the seven-colored component to tremble violently.

Countless skeletons converged frantically, and the gestation of the eleventh-tier skeleton giant gradually became complete, emitting a chilling aura.

Song Chi watched all this with satisfaction. He knew that after waiting for a short while and adding a small amount of tenth-order mythical bones, the eleventh-order bone giant would be fully formed.

At that time, with the power of the eleventh-tier mythical rank that Xiexu City has advanced to the tenth tier, there is a greater than 90% chance that it will directly take down the [War Puppet Mother Tree].

As his wandering thoughts gradually returned, Song Chi immediately turned his attention back to the attribute panel of the tenth-tier Heavenly Market. He was still very curious about the changes that would occur in the tenth-tier market.

【Name: All Heavens Market】

[Level: lv100]

…………

Just as he opened the market attribute panel, before he could even examine it closely, Song Chi suddenly let out a soft hum.

A slight tremor came from the seed of ancestral fire deep within the brow, indicating an urgent message from Ancestor Song Wujiang.

Faced with this, Song Chi could only forcibly withdraw his gaze, and with a flash, he disappeared once again from the Heavenly Market.

Tianxu Continent, Dragon Ridge Divine Mountain, Dragon Whale Palace.

As soon as Song Chi appeared, his gaze was immediately drawn to the jet-black star core in Song Wujiang's hand, which was shimmering with multicolored light, and he could not look away.

He didn't recognize the star core at first glance. What caused his strange behavior was the violent tremor emanating from the mini Heavenly Ruins Sky in the Ancestral Aperture of the Flame.
