Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1699 - 830: The Great War of Transcendence

Within the ancestral lands of the Big Dipper Seven Stars Hall on the Beidou Continent of the Immortal Qin Dynasty.

Deep inside the magnificent celestial chambers, several powerful figures sat perched high above the projections of the seven mythical Big Dipper Stars.

"Greedy Wolf, we will provide you with our absolute support, provided that what you say is accurate..."

After hearing Song Chi’s proposal regarding a joint advancement line and the subsequent blueprints for founding the Fifth Torch Empire, the various Hall Masters, including Jumen and Broken Army, displayed great interest, their eyes shimmering with evident delight.

However, matters were clearly not that simple. The voice of the Broken Army Hall Master, though laced with excitement, quickly shifted in tone:

"Nevertheless, this undertaking is too significant; the Star Lord must be notified!"

His phrasing was somewhat diplomatic, indicating that the final decision rested solely with the Beidou Star Lord.

"Where can the Star Lord be found currently?"

"Human Emperor City!"

...

Song Chi wasted no time and departed immediately for Human Emperor City.

Since he had previously established a spatial anchor point within Human Emperor City, no time was lost during the journey.

Upon reaching the Western City Wall of Human Emperor City, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong arrived to find the Shaking Light Sky Star hovering silently above the fortifications.

It appeared that the former Greedy Wolf Hall Master, who now served as the Beidou Star Lord of the Big Dipper Seven Stars Hall, was remotely operating a warship avatar for exploration purposes.

Song Chi chose not to disturb him directly. Instead, he maneuvered the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong to a nearby position and waited in silence.

Generally, unless there is a massive disparity in power, a Torch Ship Captain can instantly perceive external conditions surrounding their vessel. Because the Shaking Light Sky Star showed no reaction, the only logical conclusion was that the exploration outside Human Emperor City had reached a vital turning point.

Under such circumstances, any rash interference is considered taboo.

As expected, Song Chi’s wait was brief. Once the situation regarding the warship avatar stabilized, a voice soon emanated from the superdimensional mother ship of the Shaking Light Sky Star.

"Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, Greedy Wolf?"

"Star Lord, the situation is as follows..."

After their identities were confirmed, Song Chi swiftly explained the details he had previously discussed with Broken Army and the others.

"Is this the truth?"

The Star Lord’s expression turned extremely grave in an instant.

After Song Chi provided a highly affirmative second response, the Star Lord fell into a period of deep reflection.

"If the establishment of the Fifth Torch Empire is truly authorized by all four Human Emperors, then the plan is indeed viable, but..."

He paused, quickly posing another query to Song Chi.

"Should we join forces, how will the conquered territories be partitioned?"

Having already prepared for this, Song Chi answered without a moment's hesitation:

"An eight-two split. My Dragon Spine Song Family shall take eight parts, while the Big Dipper Seven Stars Hall receives two!"

The face of the Beidou Star Lord darkened immediately.

"Are you being serious about this ratio?"

Facing a superdimensional captain who had recently entered that realm and was pushing toward the ninth rank senior or even the limit, Song Chi did not flinch, meeting his gaze directly.

Ultimately, it was the Beidou Star Lord who was the first to look away.

"Let us agree to seven-three; eight-two is simply too lopsided."

"Star Lord, eight-two is my final bottom line."

Song Chi’s voice remained unwavering. He was well aware that this proposed distribution was by no means unfair.

An eight-two split meant that if over 100 river systems were conquered, the Big Dipper Seven Stars Hall would govern 20 of them.

For a Torch power that was not part of the Four Great Empires, such a thing was unheard of.

In the past, although the Torch Civilization under the Four Great Empires possessed dozens or hundreds of Immortal Giant-level powers, each usually occupied two river systems at most, with many restricted to just one.

While the conflict with the Eight-Armed Snake Demon Civilization and the annexation of their Galaxy Cluster allowed several Immortal Giant forces to expand, the most powerful among them currently controlled only four river systems. Throughout this process, the Four Great Empires maintained strict oversight to ensure no single force grew too large.

Viewed in this light, controlling twenty river systems was an incredibly valuable prospect.

Essentially, if the Big Dipper Seven Stars Hall refused, Song Chi and the Dragon Spine Song Family could simply seek out other giant organizations.

However, because of his deep history and positive relationship with the Big Dipper Seven Stars Hall, they were given priority, even if he didn't state his alternatives openly.

After a lengthy silence, the Beidou Star Lord finally gave a slow nod.

"Very well, eight-two it is. However, I have one more condition."

Song Chi’s eyes glimmered: "Please state it, Star Lord."

"If the Fifth Empire is established, the Big Dipper Seven Stars Hall must have priority cooperation rights. Regarding technology, resources, and talent, the Dragon Spine Song Family must prioritize us as partners."

Hearing this, Song Chi’s lips curled into a slight smile.

This request was not difficult to fulfill; in fact, it aligned perfectly with his own strategy. The Song family's foundation was still relatively shallow. If the Fifth Torch Empire truly came to be, seeking external collaborations would be unavoidable.

"Naturally. The Big Dipper Seven Stars Hall is my most reliable ally, and many future endeavors will require the robust support of you and the Hall Masters."

The Beidou Star Lord finally looked content, and the surrounding Power of Stars began to fade.

"Then it is settled."

"I shall convene a meeting of the Seven Halls immediately to coordinate fully with your strategy."

"My thanks, Star Lord!"

...

Six months later, at the ancestral land of the Big Dipper Seven Stars Hall.

Seven imposing figures sat atop the stellar projections of the Big Dipper Seven Stars, as the vast Star Power wove a magnificent star chart within the hall.
