{Summoning of Skeleton Giant: The component will construct a Skeleton Giant by consuming a massive quantity of bones. Once the creation process is finished, the commanding Captain can freely summon the Skeleton Giant for external combat. This ability lacks a cooldown; however, the skeleton must be 100% structurally sound to be manifested. (Current skeletal integrity: 88%) Note: The giant’s power level is permanently one Great Rank lower than the component’s current Enhancement Rank.}
The gaze of both Song Chi and the Beidou Star Master was instantly drawn to these two incredibly precious Colorful Extreme Position Artifacts.
The stats of both items were undeniably Top Rank. Song Chi and the Beidou Star Master felt a surge of intense desire, whether for the [Nether River Blood Coffin] and its revival powers or the [Skeleton Tomb] and its ability to call forth an Eleventh Rank Mythical Skeleton Giant.
Across the communication link, the two shared a quiet look, their eyes shifting as they struggled to make a choice.
Eventually, Song Chi broke the tension by declaring his preference.
"Star Master, I want the [Skeleton Tomb]!"
Hearing this, the Beidou Star Master’s eyes gleamed with surprise at the selection, though he didn't give an immediate answer.
Song Chi remained silent, giving the Beidou Star Master the time he needed to weigh the options.
His choice wasn't made on a whim; it was the product of cold logic.
While the [Blood River Medical Cabin] possessed startling attributes—and the power to defy death is a temptation few can ignore—Song Chi saw too many drawbacks.
Beyond the staggering 100,000-year cooldown, the requirements that the deceased must not have died of old age and must be treated within 10 minutes of death were incredibly restrictive.
For a man like him, wouldn't he always use the Mirror Image Warship to scout any dangerous path?
Furthermore, with the Zhu Tian Ruins Market at his disposal, the need for a resurrection effect was virtually non-existent.
Basically, if he took this component, it would likely serve his kin or Sect members. Yet, under his protection, his inner circle would rarely need to brave the dangers of the Alien Star Domain.
Most would eventually pass away from old age, which is the exact scenario the [Blood River Medical Cabin] cannot fix.
And that 10-minute window?
If a sudden death occurred during deep exploration of the Alien Star Domain, reaching the location within 10 minutes would be impossible, even with the help of the Zhu Tian Ruins Market.
Considering these factors, and the fact that the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong already possessed the [Time Chess Board] with its Top Rank survival skills like "Twelve Lives Life and Death Chess" and "Time·Retrospect," Song Chi settled on the [Skeleton Tomb].
The [Skeleton Tomb] held much more value for him. Since the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong was now a Ninth Rank Superdimensional Mother Ship and Song Chi possessed a Five-Colored Torch Seed, this component could theoretically produce a Tenth Rank Mythical Skeleton Giant.
To achieve this, the component—which currently had an 88% skeletal completion rate—would likely need to be re-processed. The previous Corpse Emperor Clan could only manage a Ninth Rank Corpse Emperor, which resulted in a mere Eighth Rank Skeleton Giant.
After nearly a minute of deep thought, the Beidou Star Master finally spoke.
He gave a slight, acknowledging nod.
"Very well, Greedy Wolf. You shall take the [Skeleton Tomb], and the [Blood River Medical Cabin] will be mine."
A faint smile touched Song Chi’s lips; he had expected this outcome.
Ultimately, the power to overturn death is always the ultimate lure. The restrictions were heavy, but not every Captain possessed a life-saving component as peerless as the [Time Chess Board].
With the primary treasures settled, the remaining fifteen Mythical Artifacts had to be split.
Song Chi scanned the display, his finger hovering briefly over the [Rakshasa Heaven-Slaying Sword].
"I am taking this sword."
The Beidou Star Master frowned for a moment before his expression softened.
He had a clear interest in the Five-Colored Long Sword, but since Song Chi had claimed it, he wasn't going to fight for it. After all, it was just a strange object that couldn't be turned into a ship component.
"Fine, but I demand priority for the next two selections."
Song Chi nodded in agreement. "That is fair."
The two reached a quick consensus—the Beidou Star Master claimed the [Starry Sky Earth Mother Stone] and the [Five Spirits Sky Covering Blood Curtain], while Song Chi took the [Corpse Evil Core] and the [Blood Erosion Destruction Cannon].
The [Blood Erosion Destruction Cannon] was a Five-Colored Star River Cannon with devastating firepower, filling a gap on the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong after [Judgment Light] was upgraded to a Superdimensional Railgun.
The [Corpse Evil Core] was a Five-Colored Engine, which would greatly help resolve the energy demands currently straining the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong.
As for the Star Master's picks, the [Starry Sky Earth Mother Stone] was a perfect match for his Shaking Light Sky Star, being born from concentrated starlight.
The [Five Spirits Sky Covering Blood Curtain] provided a powerful group defense, creating a massive barrier of blood for protection.
"Let us divide the rest of the Mythical Artifacts based on equal value."
They moved quickly, splitting the remaining items based on how well they fit their respective ships.
Song Chi acquired the [Death Soul Crystal] and the [Void Cloud Boat Model], while the Beidou Star Master took the [Blood River Blade] and the [Heavenly Corpse Seal].
"Now for the Black and Gold Oddities."
These were numerous but held less individual weight than the Mythical items. They split them 50-50, each picking parts that benefited their specific Cultivation and ship systems.
"Lastly, the Corpse Evil, Dead Spirit Ore, and Floating Land Origin."
Since the Corpse Evil was vital for the [Skeleton Tomb], Song Chi took 70% of the High-level supply and all the Top-level stock.
In exchange, the Beidou Star Master took the lion's share of the Dead Spirit Ore.
They split the Tenth Rank Floating Land Origin and the Mythical Souls down the middle, each walking away with 21 Mythical Souls and 60 units of Floating Land Origin.
"It has been a pleasure doing business with you."
The distribution finished, the Beidou Star Master nodded, a grin visible in his eyes. This was easily the most significant haul in his history.
Song Chi smiled back. They didn't linger for small talk, both eager to begin integrating their new gains.
A few days later, aboard the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong.
Standing at the command center, Song Chi looked at the [Skeleton Tomb] hovering before him, his mouth curling into a smirk.
"Time to see... if a Tenth Rank Skeleton Giant can truly be born."
"I just hope the cost in bone resources isn't completely insane!"
Using his share of the Mythical Souls, he had already pushed the component to Level 110. He was now ready to begin the official cultivation of a Tenth Rank Skeleton Giant.
