National Star Sea Era...

Having just survived an epoch of chaos, the shattered star sea has undoubtedly fallen into war and chaos once again due to the frenzied expansion and territorial encroachment of various civilizations.

However, unlike the previous chaos of the Abyss Dimensional Ascension, although various parties also started a chaotic battle this time, under the new balance maintained by the three transcendent forces, there was no bloody battle at the mythical level. All interstellar battlefields were within a controllable range.

In the southern region of the shattered star, in just ten thousand years, a vast territory spanning more than forty core river system clusters and radiating influence to hundreds of river system clusters has become a supreme existence that all races in the heavens must look up to—the Torch Civilization.

This territory is revered by all races as the "Divine Territory of the Flame".

At the core of the Flame of Heaven territory remain the five immortal ancestral continents of the empires, and the [Heavenly Peak Secret Realm], which floats deep within the core of the ancestral domain and has now expanded to be comparable to a great world.

Based on the five ancestral continents, the radiance of the [Zhou Tian Liu He Zhuan Lun Da Zhen] enveloped the most core river system clusters. With these river system clusters as support, the power of the Xin Huo civilization spread to dozens of surrounding river system clusters, and its residual power could even intimidate hundreds of surrounding river system clusters. It is the foundation of the entire Xin Huo civilization.

Within this vast territory, countless life-bearing floating continents have been transformed and reborn. They follow the Civilization Code promulgated by the Council of Fire, maintaining their own cultural characteristics while jointly venerating Fire as their suzerain civilization. A network of giant stargates spanning galaxies tightly connects this vast land, and the flow of trade, exchange, and cultivation resources has reached an unprecedented level of prosperity.

And this is only the change in the territory under the jurisdiction of the Torchfire Civilization. With the gathering and support of a large number of rare resources in this endless territory, the peak combat power of the entire Torchfire Civilization is also increasing at a visible speed.

Jiang Yuan, the ruler of the Divine Xia Dynasty: After 15,000 years of transcendence in the era of the Fire of the Ancestral Spirit, his flagship, the Divine Xia Jiuli, after accumulating countless civilizational fortunes and various mythical-level additional advancement resources, triggered a vast starry sea phenomenon and successfully advanced to an eleventh-tier mythical origin ship.

A thousand years later, Jiang Yuan went into seclusion at the summit of the Divine Xia Ancestral Land, drawing upon the newly accumulated fortune of the 20,000-year-old flame, and finally broke through the bottleneck of the eleventh-order guiding technique. His divine body and his flagship resonated perfectly, making him a true mythical origin captain.

Ji Heng, the ruler of the Crimson Yu Dynasty: After 23,000 years of transcending the era of the Fire of Transcendence, she obtained a wisp of super-grade resource, the Xuanhuang Mother Qi, during an adventure exploring an alien star field. After merging it into her own Xuanhuang Crimson Yu, she accumulated strength and broke through the eleventh-order mythological barrier in one fell swoop. The Crimson Yu Xuanhuang divine light illuminated the starry river, achieving the origin of mythology.

Jiang Yi of the Divine Xia Dynasty: As the most dazzling superstar of the Divine Xia Dynasty after Jiang Yuan, Jiang Yi successfully upgraded his flagship [Shenyi Qiongyu] to a mythical immortal ship after 28,000 years of transcendence. Soon after, his own guidance technique also broke through, making him the sixth mythical immortal ship captain of the Torch Civilization after the five human emperors.

Ying Yi of the Immortal Qin Dynasty and Ferdinand Aclemont of the Holy Temple Federation: The two broke through at almost the same time in the 35,000th year of the Transcendent Era. The [Immortal Qin Ancestral Dragon] and the [Heavenly Holy Light] were successively promoted to mythological origin ships, and the guidance techniques of the two human emperors were not neglected.

Between 40,000 and 70,000 years of the Transcendent Era, the Burning Flame Civilization was at its most brilliant: the Lord of the Big Dipper, the head of the Qingqiu Chamber of Commerce, the ancestor of the Tianying Tan Clan, the first director of the Yanhuang Consortium, the ancestor of the Fuyao Pei Clan, the first generation War King of the Immortal Qin War King Hall, Song Yan of the Tianxu Song Clan, and many other veteran giants and captains of the Burning Flame Civilization, relying on their prosperous and thriving civilization, successively stepped into the realm of mythical immortality, together forming the Burning Flame Civilization's indestructible peak combat power barrier.

……

Beneath this extreme prosperity and flourishing, Songchi, as the highest pillar of civilization, never stopped its progress.

With the [All Heavens Market], a super trading platform connecting the starry seas of the heavens, the Chaos God Continent, and the bottomless abyss that has completed a semi-high-dimensional sublimation, coupled with the rare resources that continuously converge from the entire Fire God Territory, his accumulation has already reached an unbelievable level.

The flame of transcendence has existed for 120,000 years, in the deepest part of the Heavenly Ruins, in the All-Attribute Cultivation Chamber.

laugh--

With a sound, the door to the all-attribute cultivation room opened, and Song Chi, who had been in seclusion for nearly 100,000 years, walked out.

"Guiding Technique lv119, it's time to take that final step..."

After a few murmurs, his figure suddenly disappeared from the Zhutianxu City and reappeared on the Tianxu Continent.

More than 100,000 years have passed, and the Tianxu Continent remains at the tenth-tier Star Continent level. It is not that the Song Clan stopped nurturing the Tianxu Continent after it was promoted to a Star Continent. Every once in a while, multiple high-level floating continent origin cores are still put into the Tianxu Continent origin core. However, once it reaches the Star Continent level, it is extremely difficult for a floating continent to advance further. It is not something that can be accumulated in a short period of time.

Fortunately, thanks to the Song clan's continuous accumulation and support over more than 100,000 years, coupled with the previous frenzied expansion of the Fire Civilization and the convergence of countless high-level floating continent origin cores, the foundation of the Tianxu Continent has finally been accumulated to the limit of the tenth level, and it now has the possibility of challenging the eleventh-level Star Continent.

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

At this moment, dozens of people are gathered in this hall. Upon closer inspection, Song Yan, Song Wujiang, Song Shiyuan, Song Xingru and others are clearly among them. With the extreme expansion of the Xinghuo Civilization, as one of the five major royal families of the civilization, the Song family has naturally gathered countless high-level resources.

With the accumulation of such abundant resources, the strength of the Song Clan of Tianxu is now far greater than it was more than 100,000 years ago.

Of the dozens of people gathered in the Dragon Whale Palace at this moment, apart from Song Yan, the newly promoted Mythical Immortal Captain, Song Wujiang, Song Shiyuan, Song Xingru, Shen Youran, Ying Jing (Bai Mei), Song Yiming, and Song Xuancang are all super-dimensional captains. The others, such as Song Chao, Chen Lixia, Song Mingsong, Song Shan, Song Hanyu, Song Ting, Song Bei, and Song You, are all eighth-order star river captains.

Moreover, this is not the entirety of the Song family's top combat strength. In the past 100,000 years, the family has produced many other outstanding descendants, including a prodigy who achieved transcendence in just 100,000 years, and even more eighth-order starship captains.

It can be said that the Song family of Tianxu today is absolutely worthy of the name of the royal family of Tianzhu.

"Xiao Chi, go ahead. Now that the family's power is established, you don't need to worry about anything. Just focus on breaking through to the twelfth rank."

"Also, have you informed Emperor Jiang and the others? To break through to the twelfth-tier mythical transcendental ship, we must make all the necessary preparations."

Upon hearing this, Song Chi nodded slightly, indicating that he had already made arrangements.

After arranging everything with his family, Song Chi vanished from the Dragon Whale Palace in a flash.

The Heavenly Ruins Continent, deep within the Earth's core.

When Song Chi appeared, two figures were already waiting there: Jiang Yuan and Ying Yi.

As for Ji Heng and Pei Dinan, they are currently stationed in the Chaos God Continent and the Bottomless Abyss, respectively. As the only two semi-high-dimensional lands, the Torch Civilization has now rebuilt the Chaos and Abyss Cities on them as the most important source of high-level resources.

The three exchanged glances and then nodded slightly.

Without saying much, Song Chi strode directly to the core of the Heavenly Ruins Continent's origin. He then waved his hand, and a ball of light radiating a rich aura of origin appeared in his hand. The next second, he threw the ball of light towards the core of the Heavenly Ruins Continent's origin without hesitation. Sensing the aura of the same origin, the core of the Heavenly Ruins Continent's origin immediately emitted a strong devouring power, beginning to fully devour and merge this core of origin, which was also the origin of the Star Continent.

The lingering influence of the Sacred Flame civilization now covers hundreds of river systems in the surrounding area. Although it is rare on the Star Continent, it is not entirely devoid of it.

The primordial core at present comes from a large river system cluster hundreds of billions of light-years away. It is a tenth-order resource-type floating land. After the Torch Civilization extracted half of its primordial core, it will be difficult to continue to accumulate resources for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years. It can only barely maintain its own balance, but at least it has not been destroyed.

The Heavenly Ruins Continent, deep within the Earth's core.

The moment that tenth-order star continent origin core from a distant galaxy came into contact with the origin of the Tianxu Continent, it was like a spark splashing into a boiling oil pan!
Om-! ! !
The entire core space trembled violently, and the primordial core of the Tianxu Continent began to spin wildly at an unprecedented speed, unleashing a terrifying suction force that devoured everything, tightly binding, tearing, and fusing the foreign primordial energy.

The immense eleventh-order primordial energy, like a torrent bursting its banks, poured into every corner of the already saturated Tianxu Continent.

Rumble!
Beyond the mainland, the entire Tianxu Continent began to tremble violently, and the continent's area expanded outwards at a visible speed. New mountain ranges rose from the ground at the edges, and vast oceans appeared out of thin air.

Above the heavens, the laws of the Great Dao manifested, condensing into countless dazzling chains of runes that intertwined and reinforced this vast continent where a leap in the level of life was taking place.

Deep within the earth's veins, the roars of dragons echoed, as if countless ancestral dragons of the earth veins were rejoicing and awakening.

"It has begun!" Jiang Yuan's gaze was solemn. He and Ying Yi stood guard on either side of Song Chi, their divine senses forming an invisible net that enveloped the entire Tianxu Continent, guarding against any possible accidents. Song Chi held his breath and focused his mind, connecting all his thoughts to the continent beneath his feet that had nurtured him, guiding the surging primal power to impact the solid twelfth-tier barrier.

This process lasted for a full six months.

When the six-month period arrived, the expansion of the Tianxu Continent reached its limit. The rule runes above the continent's sky solidified completely, transforming into an eternal halo that enveloped the heavens. The dragon roars from the depths of the earth's veins converged into a roar that shook the galaxy.

boom!
A vast and majestic aura, far exceeding that of a tenth-tier star continent, arose like a colossal star god who had slumbered for millennia. Centered on the Tianxu Continent, it spread rapidly throughout the entire Xinhuo Divine Territory, even attracting the attention of beings such as the Rift God King and the Eternal Ancestor in distant star fields.

Eleventh-Order Star Continent - Completed!

Just as the mainland completed its ascension, the old and new rules transitioned, and the origin was at its most active, almost tangible, surging forth like a tidal wave—

"It's now!"

A sharp light flashed in Song Chi's eyes as his thoughts became perfectly aligned with his flagship, the Sky Ruins.

The Tianxu Cangqiong, which was already prepared, appeared above the core of the Tianxu Continent's origin like a bottomless black hole. The surging tidal energy of the eleventh-order floating continent's origin completely enveloped the ship's hull, and all the Great Dao runes lit up instantly, frantically absorbing this once-in-a-million-years advancement resources.

But this is just the beginning.

With a wave of his hand, Song Chi conjured several items radiating unimaginable energy fluctuations in front of him.

A drop of dark golden blood that seemed to contain a burning galaxy within—the source blood of a twelfth-tier transcendent Flame Demon.
Several materials that only exist in legends—a special resource recipe for advancing to the twelfth tier (only by gathering the power of the entire civilization for over ten thousand years, plus the resources from the Heavenly Market, could we barely gather them all).

And within the pool of fortune created by the [Original Seed of Fire] in the darkness, lies the vast fortune of the Heavenly Ruins Divine Court, accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years.

There are also two additional resources for transcending the level.

"melt!"

With a low shout, Song Chi unleashed a torrent of transcendent source blood, special resource formulas, and extra advancement resources, which, along with the eleventh-tier floating continent's primordial tide, were greedily devoured by the Heavenly Ruins Sky Dome.

As for the Fate of the Primordial Flame, he wasn't in a hurry to put it into the Skyfall Skyship. As a derivative of the Chaos Treasure [Primordial Fate Seed], it couldn't be reversed by the Seven-Colored [Time Chessboard]. Song Chi planned to use it last, if it really came to that...

Rumble——! ! !
An unprecedented energy storm erupted inside the Sky Ruins Sky, causing the ship to groan under the strain, as if it might disintegrate at any moment.

This is the ultimate leap from the ship's life level to the twelfth-order transcendent level, and its danger far exceeds any previous advancement.

"puff!"

Song Chi's face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of pale golden blood. His soul was connected to the ship, and he was also enduring a tremendous impact.

"Backtrack!"

When he failed to advance, he did not hesitate to activate the power of the [Time Chessboard], causing a partial reversal of time and space to restore the previously dimmed Sky Ruins.

However, the second energy storm was still violent, and various threats and crises followed one after another: rule conflicts, energy rampages, conceptual chaos... each time was extremely dangerous.

"Backtrack!"

"Go back again!"

Song Chi's gaze was as firm as iron. He used this heaven-defying trump card time and time again, engaging in the most brutal tug-of-war with the difficulty of advancement. On the side, Jiang Yuan and Ying Yi watched with trepidation, but could not intervene. They could only do their best to maintain the stability of the surrounding space.

When the third "Time Rewind" was activated, Song Chi's eyes narrowed, and without any further hesitation, he unhesitatingly poured the remaining flame of fortune he had preserved until now into the Tianxu Cangqiong ship.

This time, the raging energy storm finally subsided, transforming into a restrained, profound fluctuation that seemed to resonate with the very origin of the universe.

hum...

An indescribable majesty slowly rose from the Sky Ruins.

It was no longer a warship, but more like a living, chaotic deity who held some kind of supreme rule. The ship's hull became somewhat illusory, as if it existed between reality and illusion. Its entire body was filled with the chaotic energy of the Great Dao. Just by existing there, the surrounding rules would take the initiative to retreat and submit.

Tier 12 Mythical Transcendent Ship!

It became.

Song Chi let out a long sigh of relief, a smile of relief mixed with endless exhaustion on his face. He had finally taken this step.

However, this is not the end. The flagship's upgrade also requires guidance technology to match it in order to unleash its full power.

For the next ten thousand years, Song Chi entered his deepest seclusion. He sorted out the ultimate rule insights brought about by his advancement to the Transcendent Ship, harmonized the origins of himself and his ship, and guided the vast power of transcendence to wash over and reshape his own life form.

Ten thousand years of time pass in the blink of an eye.

When Song Chi opened his eyes again, deep within them seemed to be the birth and death of stars and the cycle of the universe. He slowly got up, and there was no powerful energy fluctuation leaking out from his body, but a transcendent Daoist charm that surpassed all things naturally flowed out.

With a slight thought, without needing to summon it, the Heavenly Ruins and Azure Sky merged perfectly with him, becoming one with him.

Twelfth-Order Guiding Technique - Completed!
Mythical Transcendence Captain - Achieved!
At this moment, the Civilization of Fire truly possessed a complete twelfth-order mythical transcendent captain who belonged entirely to itself and required no external assistance.

The news caused an uproar throughout the entire Divine Realm of Fire! All races came to pay homage, and the starry sea celebrated together.

From this day forward, the Torchfire Civilization has completely shed its reputation for "relying on external things" to ascend to the ranks of transcendent powers. It now stands truly and undeniably at the pinnacle of the cosmos, alongside Titan and Eternity, becoming one of the three most powerful forces in this shattered cosmos.

And from that moment on, the flame was passed on eternally.

The End!!! (End of Chapter)
