Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1700 - 830: The Great War of Transcendence (Part 2)

With the Beidou Star Lord personally presiding, the Seven Great Hall Masters, more than ten Star Venerables, and dozens of captains of Annihilation Starships entered a formal alliance with the Dragon Spine Song Family.

The offensive against the Corpse Emperor Clan River System Group is set to begin shortly. These two powers will collaborate to establish the fundamental structure of the fifth Expedition Fleet.

...

Inside the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, Song Chi stood upon the deck of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong as it drifted through the sky. With a mere flick of his consciousness, the warship's hatches slid open, allowing a Seven-star Ancient Demon to leap out.

Simultaneously, a violent ripple of spatial energy tore through the void to the right of the vessel. A moment later, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong Image Warship manifested slowly from the distortion.

The Image Warship gave a slight shudder, discharging a beam of black light that struck the Seven-star Ancient Demon with surgical precision, merging into its form.

Having finished these arrangements, Song Chi made a sudden sweeping motion with his hand.

Storm clouds instantly blanketed the entire Ruins Market Firmament as the immense Power of Mythical Rules descended with crushing force.

"Go!"

Song Chi gave a soft command. The majestic mythical energy surged toward the Seven-star Ancient Demon, triggering the "Spatial Anchor Point" function of the Zhu Tian Ruins Market.

In a flash, the Seven-star Ancient Demon vanished from the Vault of Heaven, reappearing amidst the swirling white mists at the entrance of the City of Transcendence.

This new capability emerged after the market reached the Ninth Rank, elevating its status to the mythological level.

Song Chi can now utilize this mythical power to warp creatures to any location marked by a spatial anchor. By avoiding the need to summon them personally after a transfer, he has significantly bolstered his own safety.

The outer white mist region of the City of Transcendence.

Following Song Chi’s previous directives, the Seven-star Ancient Demon activated the Divine Thought Seal within its body upon arrival. Seconds later, as if answering a call, the Image Warship within the Zhu Tian Ruins Market was remotely pulled to the City of Transcendence, aided by Song Chi intentionally dropping the market’s protective barriers.

As his understanding of the City of Transcendence deepened, he realized its secrets were incredibly profound. He was unwilling to take any further personal risks until he had fully grasped its nature.

Even if that risk only involved being present for the few seconds required to summon the Image Warship.

Once the remote summoning was finalized, the Seven-star Ancient Demon boarded the vessel and used one of the two City of Transcendence Entry Orders it carried. Shortly after, the Image Warship crossed into the City of Transcendence.

The Mission Area of the City of Transcendence.

Song Chi had returned to this sector not to browse for new tasks, but to turn one in.

Sizzle—

The hatch of the Image Warship hissed open, and several figures stepped out.

If Song Wujiang or his peers were there, they would have recognized these individuals as the Prides of various Alien Races, gathered by the Song Family through bounties over many years.

"Confirm mission submission!"

[Calculation complete. River System-level Geniuses: 40; Super River System-level Geniuses: 3; Sub-civilization Pride: 1. Total reward: 28,000 Transcendence Contribution Points. Do you confirm submission?]

"Confirm!"

"Ding!"

A soft chime signaled the successful completion of the task.

With a faint shimmer in the air, the dozens of alien geniuses vanished without a sound. In their place, the City of Transcendence Entry Order inside the Image Warship was credited with an additional 28,000 Transcendence Contribution Points.

Armed with these 28,000 points, Song Chi directed the Image Warship to head straight for the Exchange Zone.

The Exchange Zone of the City of Transcendence.

Within a grand hall supported by seventy-two pillars of dark gold, the Image Warship settled onto an exchange dock bathed in a soft blue glow.

Looking through the eyes of the Seven-star Ancient Demon, Song Chi stared up at the massive light screen that stretched across the domed ceiling like a starry sky.

In this Rare Exchange Area, a multitude of precious treasures drifted across the screen, each radiating a vibration that commanded awe.

"Filter for Tenth Rank items," the Seven-star Ancient Demon commanded, its voice sounding raspy.

The display immediately narrowed down, reducing the hundreds of listings to just over a dozen.

Song Chi’s attention was instantly captured by a fruit that appeared to be forged from pure gold, wrapped in delicate three-colored silk threads—the Tenth Rank Golden Apple.

Tenth Rank Golden Apple

[Cost: 30,000 Transcendence Contribution Points]

[Effect: A fruit produced by the Golden Apple Mother Tree. It contains the Power of Starry Origin and is capable of specifically upgrading the quality of an object.]

He wanted to buy it immediately, but he was 2,000 points short. Song Chi sent the Seven-star Ancient Demon back to the Ruins Market to gather several unique items from the Oddity Exchange Shop to make up the difference. Once he hit the 30,000-point mark, he initiated the trade without a second thought.

As the points were deducted, a rift in space tore open at the center of the dock. Golden chains reached out from the darkness, cradling a golden apple the size of a fist as it was brought into reality.

Having secured the Tenth Rank Golden Apple, Song Chi did not linger with the Image Warship.

With his contribution points nearly depleted and no desire to attempt another transcendental trial yet, he was anxious to get back to the Zhu Tian Ruins Market to continue the Cultivation of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong.

The Special Exchange Area remained hidden from his view, its contents a mystery.

To access that specific screen, one must attain the rank of a Transcendence City Law Enforcer. Since the application requires 100,000 Transcendence Contribution Points, that milestone was still far in the distance.
