Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1716: 837: [Rakshasa God] (2)

Accomplishing either of these objectives is undoubtedly a challenge among challenges.

Tenth Rank Golden Apples are exceptionally scarce, and Eleventh Rank Golden Apples are even more of a myth.

While the Song Family possesses proactive evolutionary artifacts, the [Heaven-Swallowing Python Shedding] is currently limited to evolving into a Colorful Lower Wondrous Object. To satisfy the necessary conditions, it must be elevated to Colorful High-Rank Quality.

Song Chi is acutely aware of the [Heaven-Swallowing Python Shedding]’s status. Despite the family pouring massive resources and effort into it, the progress of its secondary accumulation and transformation has barely crossed the 20% mark, remaining far from the required 100%.

As he pondered this dilemma, a spark of inspiration suddenly struck Song Chi’s mind.

“That’s right, Corpse Evil…”

Corpse Evil is a unique resource generated by the Corpse Emperor Clan River System Group. It is a vital necessity for the Corpse Emperor Clan, but for Torch Captains, its value is marginal at best.

This reality created a perfect opening to acquire Corpse Evil at a low cost. If the Song Family could secure these resources in bulk for a cheap price, the transformation of the [Heaven-Swallowing Python Shedding] would surely be accelerated.

The more he considered it, the brighter Song Chi’s eyes became, convinced that this strategy was entirely viable.

Never one to procrastinate, he moved into action immediately once the decision was finalized.

First, he paged Song Yiming, instructing him to command the family fleet to buy up Corpse Evil at a low price with full intensity. Following this, he made an immediate return to Dragon Spine Continent.

Even though it was highly probable that the [Heaven-Swallowing Python Shedding] could absorb Corpse Evil Energy, he wanted to confirm it personally to prevent any future complications. He also sent orders to the family-run shops in the Ancestral Domain, ensuring that branches in the Demon Snake Continent, Demon God Floating Land, and other major trade hubs began stockpiling Corpse Evil.

Although the war within the Corpse Emperor Clan River System Group raged on and the primary fleets continued their push, the number of participating Torch Civilization captains was staggering—billions upon billions!

Given such an immense population, there was no telling what rare or strange components they might be carrying.

Even in the heat of war, many captains possessed the means to return to Torch Civilization territory through specialized methods. It was always wise to start laying the groundwork early.

Furthermore, Song Chi used the identity of a family guest to post a low-cost collection mission for Corpse Evil within the Zhu Tian Ruins Market. Since the market had evolved into a premier trade hub for both the Torch and Wizard overlord civilizations, the number of high-ranking Torch Captains visiting every trade day was beyond counting.

Once these arrangements were settled, Song Chi did not stay on Dragon Spine Continent for long. Although the Corpse Emperor Clan’s momentum had crumbled and the five Torch Battlefronts were advancing with the force of a tidal wave, one could never rule out unforeseen disasters.

While the matters of the [Heaven-Swallowing Python Shedding] and [Mirror Image Splitting] were vital, the pact with the four Human Emperors remained the highest priority.

The [Heaven-Swallowing Python Shedding] could not undergo another transformation immediately; there would be plenty of time for its accumulation to reach its peak.

The [Mirror Image Splitting] was currently unable to copy Colorful Extreme Position Components, but future opportunities would surely arise.

The Torch Fifth Empire was a different story. If Song Chi failed to seize this chance, he would never get another opening to trade information about the Zhu Tian Ruins Market for expansion rights.

Consequently, two Superdimensional Mother Ships of immense power surged forward, acting as the vanguard for the Fifth Battlefront Fleet. As time ticked away, the fleet systematically conquered one River System after another.

...

The expansion speed of the other four Great Empires was just as formidable as the Fifth Battlefront—perhaps even faster.

While they encountered larger resistance forces and more peak-level combatants from the Corpse Emperor Clan, the combined strength of those four battlefronts far exceeded that of the Fifth Battlefront.

No matter how desperately the Corpse Emperor Clan fought back, they were powerless to halt the invasion.

In the 1,045th year since the Torch Civilization began its invasion of the Corpse Emperor Clan River System Group.

By this year, the five battlefronts of the Torch Civilization had pierced like daggers into the heart of the enemy territory. They were now only a few million light-years away from the [Corpse Emperor Continent], the Ninth Level Peak Floating Land that served as the clan’s Ancestral Domain.

The central line among the five battlefronts was spearheaded by the Shenxia Dynasty’s [Shenxia Jiuli Ship].

This specific front was currently the closest to the [Corpse Emperor Continent], with only three River Systems standing in their way.

However, on this particular day, Emperor Jiang Yuan issued a sudden order to cease the advance.

[Shenxia Jiuli Ship Magnetic Wave Encrypted Communications Group Chat]

[Jiang Yi: Ancestor, has something happened?]

[Jiang Yuan: Do not worry, a member of the Rakshasa Clan has arrived. I am going to meet him myself. Stay here and wait!]

[Jiang Yi: That Tenth Rank Rakshasa God? Why would he risk leaving the Rakshasa Ancestral Domain? Without the boundless heritage of his home domain to back him up, is he not concerned about being hunted by other overlord civilizations or those mythical entities from the Chaos Divine Land?]

[Jiang Yuan: It is merely a projection; those ancient beings value their lives above all else!]

...

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

In the void illuminated by the spectral Ghost Light of countless starships, the Super Warship at the rear of the formation suddenly roared to life. It plunged into the vacuum, vanishing from sight in an instant.

...

Deep within the territory of the Corpse Emperor Clan, at the perimeter of the “Bone Decay River System,” five million light-years from the Corpse Emperor Continent.

Song Chi stood within the Main Control Room of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong Ship, his gaze fixed on the blue markers steadily moving across the holographic Star Chart.
