National Star Sea Era...

Chapter 906 Everything is ready
Once he made up his mind, Song Chi acted with extremely high efficiency.

He first focused on finding a suitable candidate for "execution".

A sufficiently powerful, "clean" mythical creature that has no connection to him or the Void City is key to the plan's success.

The shattered star sea is vast and boundless, hiding countless powerful beings, many of whom are suitable targets for enslavement.

The selection process did not waste much time. Through the vast database on the Void Sky, after multiple rounds of screening, Song Chi finally set his sights on a dangerous area called the "Silent Star Shattering Belt".

That was a region in the shattered star sea with an extremely unstable spatial structure, filled with violent energy storms and spatial rifts. According to records, it was the lair of many void creatures, and even mythical void demons.

This environment provides natural cover, but it also means that targets often operate alone and are less likely to attract widespread attention.

However, before setting off, Song Chi had another matter to attend to.

[The Original Spark - The Ultimate Spark Communication Group Chat]

[Song Chi: I need components that can significantly increase the success rate of enslavement. Do you have any?]

As soon as he took the initiative to ask, several replies quickly came from the long-silent group chat.

[Ying Yi: What's wrong? With the enslavement components on your flagship, enslaving a ninth-tier or lower Dominator-level alien race shouldn't be difficult, right?]

[Ji Heng: Don't tell me your target is the mythical alien race? If mythical beings were so easily enslaved, we wouldn't have remained at the top-tier advanced civilization stage for nearly two hundred thousand years.]

How could Song Chi not know what Ji Heng was talking about?

He was well aware that there was a fundamental difference between enslaved creatures of the mythical level and those of the sovereign level. The difficulty of enslaving them was countless times greater. Generally speaking, the most common method was to first enslave ninth-order life forms and then assist them in their ascension to mythology.

However, the problem now is that even if a tenth-tier mythical enslaved creature is successfully created by following this method, it is only at the initial stage of the tenth tier at most, and cannot be considered top-tier in the tenth-tier combat power.

It should be noted that among those mythical gray mist energy bodies wielding the Four Swords of Zhuxian and the array diagram, two were at the peak of the tenth rank, and one was at the eleventh rank. How could ordinary tenth-rank mythical enslaved creatures possibly defeat them?
Therefore, Song Chi's targets are at least tenth-tier peak Void Demons. Only by using this in conjunction with the five-colored quality [Ring of Heavenly Authority] he upgraded from the mirror image [Shedding of the Sky-Devouring Python] can he ensure that he has enough strength to face tenth-tier peak or even eleventh-tier gray mist energy bodies.

Fortunately, before he could explain, Jiang Yuan, who had not shown up until now, brought a surprise.

[Jiang Yuan: [Song of Imperial Favor] JPG, what do you think of this component?]

Song Chi quickly opened the attribute screenshot in the group chat, and his eyes immediately lit up.

[Song Chi: Sure, I need to borrow it temporarily. Jiang Yuan, are you in the Imperial City right now?]

[Jiang Yuan: Mm!]

Song of Favor lv110
Quality: Color/High-end
Unique Trait: Song of Favor
……

{Song of Divine Favor: Consumes 10000000 Psionic Points. Chants the Song of Divine Favor. All creatures that hear this song will have their raging emotions instantly calmed, ceasing their hostility and attacks on the transport ship. Furthermore, for the next twelve minutes, the chance of that creature being enslaved will increase tenfold. Cooldown time is constant at one year.}
Although it only has a tenfold bonus, which may not seem like much, when combined with the [Ring of Heavenly Authority Control], which has already been upgraded to a five-colored quality by Song Chi using the mirror image [Shedding of the Heavenly Python], the bonus becomes a terrifying three thousand times.

{Absolute Enslavement: Consumes 20000000 Psionic Points to apply an Absolute Enslavement Mark, increasing the success rate of this enslavement attempt by 300 times. Cooldown time is constant at 10 years.}
In this way, even if mythical creatures are difficult to enslave, the success rate will become quite considerable.

After obtaining the [Song of Favor] component from the Emperor's City, Song Chi solemnly instructed Jiang Yuan and the other three to keep this matter an absolute secret.

Although the four of them didn't understand what had happened, seeing Song Chi's serious tone, they all knew that this was no joke and nodded in agreement.

Having completed all these preparations, Song Chi finally stopped delaying. Under his control, the Tianxu Cangqiong and its mirror warship silently sailed towards the desolate star belt.

Because the Eye of Truth had successfully advanced to the Seven-Colored quality, its detection capabilities had become increasingly terrifying. Therefore, just a few days after entering the Desolate Star Belt, Song Chi successfully locked onto a suitable prey—a "Void Lord" at the peak of the Tenth Order.

However, Void Demons feed on all kinds of energy and have an innate affinity and resistance to space. They are especially well-suited to the Desolate Star Belt, making the hunt far from smooth.

The tenth-tier peak mythical void demon is extremely alert. Song Chi did not rashly let the main body of the Heavenly Ruins Sky directly participate in the battle, so as not to leave too obvious energy traces.

He first used the powerful concealment properties of the [Three Realms and Five Elements Token], and then used the replica clone [Soul Devouring Altar] to evolve into a five-colored replica [Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Severing Tower], setting up a powerful sealed space.

He then immediately released two eleventh-tier mythical skeletal giants as the main attackers.

With all these layers of preparation, once the peak tenth-tier void demon was trapped by the sealing light barrier, its fate was already sealed.

The two eleventh-tier skeletal giants fought fearlessly, suppressing the enemy with overwhelming force. Song Chi, meanwhile, maneuvered two warships around the perimeter, occasionally using their colored cannons to precisely snipe and weaken the giants.

The battle lasted only three days. As expected, when the power of this peak tenth-tier Void Demon Lord was exhausted and on the verge of despair, Song Chi activated the [Song of Favor] and a replica of the [Song of Favor], and then activated the "Absolute Enslavement" characteristic of the five-colored [Ring of Heavenly Authority].

The powerful mark of enslavement, like an invisible shackle, penetrated layer by layer into the core of the Void Demon Lord's soul. This peak tenth-tier Void Demon initially resisted stubbornly, but after being enslaved repeatedly in the following minutes, it finally could not hold on and was successfully enslaved by the Ring of Heavenly Authority.

After successfully enslaving the peak tenth-tier Void Demon, Song Chi did not stop. Enslaving only one peak tenth-tier Void Demon was not enough. In addition, the [Song of Favor] component had completed its cooldown under the effect of [Blessing of the Time God King], so Song Chi quickly took action again.

Just over ten days later, he successfully enslaved another Void Demon Lord at the peak of the tenth tier. At this point, he dared not delay any longer and immediately sent both of them into the medical repair pod, sparing no expense to help them stabilize their injuries and recover.

The next crucial step is to acquire a "protective charm" for both of them to resist the traceability and interference of the transcendent beings.

Many years later, Song Chi's consciousness was once again drawn back to the City of Transcendence.

Time was of the essence; he needed to accumulate enough "Transcendence Contribution Points" for the two newly enslaved Void Demons within the next few months to grant them the status of [Enforcer].

Only in this way could they freely view the detailed information of the [Special Exchange Zone]. Before this, he had basically checked all the areas of the Transcendent City and found no items strong enough to counter Transcendents. Now, only the mysterious [Special Exchange Zone] had any chance. He controlled the two Truthful Void Demons and began frantically accepting dangerous but rewarding hunting and extermination missions.

With the Void Demon's innate combat instincts and peak tenth-tier strength, there was no need for Song Chi's covert support, and the mission was completed with extremely high efficiency.

This is a race against time. Every day, Song Chi is on edge, closely monitoring the progress of the Immortal Realm Continent being drawn in, while also coordinating the "advancement" path of the two Void Demons within the City of Transcendence.

Finally, with only one month remaining before the predicted Immortal Realm Continent was completely drawn away from the dark side of the Void Sea, the two Mythical Void Demons successfully accumulated enough Transcendence Contribution Points and officially advanced to become [Enforcers] of the Transcendence City.

The moment they acquired the identity of [Enforcers], Song Chi clearly sensed through their soul link that their authority within the City of Transcendence had undergone a qualitative leap.

In the [Exchange Zone] that he had been most looking forward to, the [Special Exchange Zone] list, which had been grayed out and invisible, finally slowly unfolded from the perspective of the "Two Void Demons".

Song Chi held his breath, his consciousness closely following the perceptions of both, and focused on that mysterious list.

The list contained few items, but each one exuded a chilling aura, and its descriptions far exceeded conventional expectations:
Color Extreme Position [Shield of the Subsurface Core of Tianyuan Star]

Exchange requirements: 400 million Transcendence Contribution Points, [Enforcer] Permissions

……

Color Extreme Position [Desire Demon Fire]

Exchange requirements: 300 million Transcendence Contribution Points, [Enforcer] Permissions

……

Five-Colored [Transcendence Contract (One-Time Use)]: A one-time contract scroll produced by the City of Transcendence. After signing, one can temporarily obtain the protection of the rules of the City of Transcendence and be immune to one indirect Transcendence-level causal tracing or rule erasure (ineffective against direct attacks).

Exchange requirements: 100 million Transcendent Contribution Points, [Law Enforcer] privileges.

……

Seven-Colored [Space-Time Beacon - Pseudo]: A strange beacon formed from the core rules of the City of Transcendence. After use, it can perform a random, ultra-long-distance space-time teleportation that ignores the blockade of higher dimensions.

Exchange requirements: 1000 million Transcendence Contribution Points, [Enforcer] Permissions

……

Seven-Colored [Rule-Shielding Force Field (One-Time Use)]: When deployed, it forms a small rule-based force field, shielding all rule-based attacks inside and outside the field for a short period of time. It can be effective against rule-based power at the peak of the twelfth tier.

Exchange requirements: 1500 million Transcendence Contribution Points, [Enforcer] Permissions

Seven-Colored [Transcendent Remains (Fragment)]: A fragment of the body shed by a legendary ancient transcendent being, containing incomprehensible fundamental rules of the Great Dao. Its purpose is unknown, and it is extremely dangerous.
Exchange requirements: 2000 million Transcendence Contribution Points, [Inspector] Permissions

[One-Time Enforcement Recruitment Order from the City of Transcendence]: This order can forcibly recruit one unit under the jurisdiction of the City of Transcendence (strength limited to below Tier 11). For a period of time, the recruited unit will unconditionally execute all orders of the recruiter.

Exchange Requirements: 800 million Transcendent Contribution Points/coin, [Enforcer] Permission

……

The items on the list are all expensive, and most require specific permissions.

Song Chi's gaze immediately locked onto the [Space-Time Beacon - Pseudo] and the [Rule Shielding Field].

"As expected... the City of Transcendence does indeed have methods to deal with Transcendents, although they are only defective or counterfeit consumables, and their prices are so terrifying..."

Song Chi was excited, but seeing the contribution points required, which were often in the millions or tens of millions, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pressure.

He has been frantically accumulating points over the past few months, but he has only managed to gather a little over ten million Transcendental Contribution Points.

“A choice must be made… The [Transcendence Pact (Fragment)] is the first choice, as it can directly counter causal tracing, which is the most crucial guarantee. After all, although it is not ourselves and the mirror warship that made the move, the two Void Demon Lords are also enslaved creatures of the Heavenly Ruins Sky, so there is still a certain chance that they can be traced back… The [Rule Shielding Field] can generate a rule force field that is strong enough to block the twelfth-level transcendent beings from making a move, buying time for the two Void Demons to make their move, but the contribution points are still too few.”

Song Chi's mind raced as he weighed the pros and cons and the possibilities.

In the end, he made a bold decision: to take out some of his gains from the Origin Star operation and exchange them all for Transcendence Contribution Points.

Finally, he exchanged for two [Transcendence Contracts] and then acquired the [Rule Shielding Field], spending a total of 1700 million Transcendence Contribution Points.

After the exchange was completed, Song Chi had almost exhausted all the Transcendent Contribution Points he had accumulated, but he felt much more at ease.

Two [Transcendence Contracts (One-Time Use)] and one [Rule Shielding Field (One-Time Use)] constitute the core guarantee for his plan to snatch food from the tiger's mouth.

He then swiftly recalled the two Void Demons who had just become enforcers of the City of Transcendence. Their purpose in becoming enforcers of the City of Transcendence was simply to gain access to the special exchange area. Now that everything was done, he had no more lingering attachment to it.

He always felt a deep sense of wariness and repulsion towards this transcendent city, and was unwilling to get too involved with it.

After that, his attention returned to the ruins of the Immortal Realm Continent. He had all his preparations in place, but he would not act immediately. He needed to choose a suitable time, preferably to wipe out the three mythical gray mist energy bodies that controlled the various components of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation in one fell swoop.

Of course, this deadline is the next month. This is the last time. If a suitable opportunity cannot be found before then, he will have no choice but to forcibly order the two Void Demon Lords to take action.

And so, time slipped by little by little, and more than half a month passed in the blink of an eye. Just when Song Chi was beginning to feel a growing anxiety, he finally found the perfect opportunity to make his move!
