Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1721 - 839: [Origin Star] 2

Five hundred and thirty-six years following the conclusion of the great war, a momentous event shook the Dragon Spine Song Family. Seizing the chance provided by the ascension of one of the Eighth Level Extreme Floating Lands within their ninety River Systems, the flagship belonging to the ancestor, Song Wujiang, formally commenced its evolution into a Star River Ship.

The transition proved difficult. Despite an initial projected success rate of nearly 60%, the "Dinghai Dragon Steed" suffered two successive failures, even after the consumption of a Seventh Rank Time Realm Fruit. Ultimately, it was only during the third attempt, aided by Song Chi’s "Time·Retrospect" Feature, that the ascension was successfully finalized.

Though the path was grueling, the end result was an undeniable triumph for the Song Family.

The family’s history, after all, is relatively brief. Even with a genius like Song Chi leading the way, it remains a challenge to fully mask their shallow foundation. However, with the establishment of the Torch Fifth Empire on the horizon, the family now boasts a second Galaxy Captain—a magnificent omen for their future.

This achievement serves as a clear signal to the outside world: beyond the brilliance of Song Chi, the Dragon Spine Song Family itself possesses formidable Cultivation potential and strength.

Furthermore, another development has emerged: Song Shiyuan’s "Immovable Ming King" has reached the Extreme Star Annihilation Stage and has taken possession of the "Blood Holy Grail" replica. Following in the wake of the "Dinghai Dragon Steed," it has begun its own preparations to eventually challenge the Star River Ship rank.

According to deliberations within the family’s core circle, the "Immovable Ming King" will delay its attempt for at least a millennium. Since the cooldown for the "Time·Retrospect" Feature lasts a thousand years, waiting is considered the most prudent and secure strategy.

...

While the Torch Civilization was in the midst of celebration, the Chaos Divine Land was simultaneously descending into turbulence.

In Human Emperor City of the Chaos Divine Land.

On this particular day, the "Profound Yellow Red Yu" remained suspended deep inside the Human Emperor Hall. For thousands of years, Ji Heng had remained in secluded Cultivation atop the "Spectral Energy Cultivation Platform," which had been enhanced to Level 100, maintaining his daily routine without fail.

Suddenly, Ji Heng snapped his eyes open. His piercing gaze cut through the warship’s hull toward the turbulent skies above the Human Emperor Hall, as threads of Dao Rules began to manifest around the Mythical Immortal Ship "Profound Yellow Red Yu."

Above Human Emperor City, a massive vortex of Chaos Energy silently coalesced, forming a phantom Eye of Chaos over the hall. Through this mystical eye, Ji Heng’s vision bypassed the infinite Chaos Storms that raged beyond the Divine Land’s firmament.

At the distant edge of that boundless Chaos Sea, numerous gargantuan stars hung high, radiating immense Power of Origin Rules like supreme deities overlooking the myriad worlds. Even when lashed by void winds and Chaos Storms, these celestial bodies remained completely undisturbed.

If Tenth Rank beings are considered eternal immortals within the myriad realms, then these Mythical Stars floating above the Chaos Divine Land are the true supreme gods.

They have reached a state of transcendence above all heavens, with each star’s existence spanning multiple eons. While mythical creatures of the myriad realms might perish, these Mythical Stars are essentially indestructible and eternal.

The sky of the Chaos Divine Land is never truly still—countless currents of chaotic gas swirl like massive dragons, seven-colored auroras dance between cracks in dimensions, and the flaming remnants of shattered worlds occasionally streak across the firmament in a final burst of light.

Yet, all these spectacular sights seem insignificant when compared to the Mythical Stars.

These are no mere celestial bodies; their diameters are often equal to an entire River System. The patterns on their surfaces pulse like living veins or flow like ancient script. Anyone who gazes upon them for too long will find the image permanently etched into their soul.

Distance is a meaningless concept to them—to some, they appear close enough to touch, while to others, they remain forever out of reach.

On the surface of these stars, comprised entirely of solidified "Origin Law and Original Rules," one can witness golden rivers of time winding through mountains of diamond. Black spatial fissures pulse like living organisms, and silver-white chains of causality occasionally erupt from the surface, striking the void with thunderous force capable of vaporizing ordinary Tenth Rank entities.

However, the focus now was on one specific star among the Mythical Stars, which was currently emitting a flickering, rhythmic light.

Throughout the Chaos Divine Land and the myriad realms, this star is known as "Origin."

The "Origin Star" descends once every million years. During this event, it departs the Chaos Sea to enter the Chaos Divine Land. For the following ten thousand years, any being below the Eleventh Rank is permitted to enter its interior via the Chaos Divine Land.

As an ancient star that has endured for eons, the "Origin Star" is littered with treasures, including Mythical Artifacts, Mythical Souls, Starry Sky Plants, Rule Fragments, Tenth Rank Primordial Blood, and even the fabled "Chaos Wonders."

It is no hyperbole to claim that every descent of the "Origin Star" is a grand festival for all heavens and myriad worlds.

Any individual who manages to survive and return from the "Origin Star" is almost guaranteed to reach the status of a Ninth Rank Dominator.

The pulsating light currently radiating from this Mythical Star indicates that the "Origin Star" is about to fall. Within the coming century, this ancient celestial body will certainly enter the Chaos Divine Land.

At that same moment, not just Ji Heng, but countless powerful beings across the Chaos Divine Land and the myriad realms raised their heads. Their gazes pierced through layers of space to lock onto the flickering "Origin Star."

"The Origin Star is falling ahead of schedule!"

In the Desert Star Realm of the Chaos Divine Land, gargantuan faces formed from shifting sands let out a low, muffled roar. The entire desert suddenly buckled into a massive funnel, exposing an ancient battlefield that had been buried for countless ages.

"It is arriving two thousand years earlier than anticipated!"

In the Extreme North Star Realm, an eternal glacier shattered with a deafening boom. A shadow soared into the sky, its laughter echoing across the frozen wastes: "A million years of preparation finally bears fruit today. The Origin Star shall be the final catalyst for my ascension to the Eleventh Rank!"

Beneath the Heavenly Abyss Star Realm, an ancient Dragon Emperor, dormant for ages, opened vertical pupils the size of a Star Domain.

In the Southern Li Fire Domain, molten magma surged and took the shape of a humanoid deity of flame.

This phenomenon was not limited to the Chaos Divine Land; it occurred across all heavens. In the deepest reaches of the Bottomless Abyss, monstrous eyes larger than a River System slowly opened, reflecting the descending star with a gaze full of unbridled greed...

The heavens shook, and the myriad realms trembled.

Ancient beings concealed in the folds of dimensions began to emerge one by one. Every living soul realized that this descent of the "Origin Star" would spark a conflict and slaughter far more intense than any before.

Deep within the Human Emperor Hall in Human Emperor City.

The Eye of Chaos hovering above the city gradually faded as Ji Heng retracted his vision.

Despite having lived for over three hundred thousand years, his eyes betrayed a sense of uncontrollable fervor.

As a member of the Torch Human Civilization, he had never before taken part in an "Origin Star Exploration," but he had spent years listening to the legends surrounding it. He understood the incredible opportunities the star held. Even as a Half-step Mythical Immortal Captain, he found the temptation nearly impossible to ignore.

It contained not only the resources required for Tenth and Eleventh Rank Myths but also the supreme treasures needed to attempt the breakthrough to a Twelve Rank Transcender.

Instinctively, Ji Heng reached for the "Ruins Market Walking Rank" at his side, intending to enter the Zhu Tian Ruins Market to send word back to the Torch Domain. However, he quickly remembered Jiang Yuan. As a true Mythical Immortal Captain, Jiang Yuan would have undoubtedly sensed the "Origin Star's" anomaly already.

Realizing this, he fought to suppress his racing emotions, forcing himself to regain his composure and return to his Guidance Technique Cultivation.

The "Origin Star" would take at least several decades to fully arrive in the Chaos Divine Land. Since it allowed entry for those up to the Tenth Rank, his best course of action was to break through his Tenth Rank Guidance Technique before its arrival to secure the greatest advantage.
