Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1724: 841: Departure

Previously on Global Era of Star trekking...
As the Origin Star prepares to enter the Chaos Divine Land, the Song Family mobilizes its forces, leveraging an abundance of warship avatar components to meet strict new deployment requirements. To ensure the safe extraction of treasures from the unstable celestial body, Song Chi strikes a high-stakes deal with the Torch and Wizard civilizations. By loaning out Ruins Market Tokens, the Song Family secures a lucrative priority claim on any items recovered, bypassing the lethal blockades surrounding the Origin Star’s rule passages. Over a thousand elite captains and wizards now stand ready, equipped with tokens that serve as a vital lifeline for the chaotic operation ahead.

Naturally, prior to these events, the Overlord Tribe of the Titan civilization had successfully secured one hundred tokens.

Given the massive population of the Titan Giants, a hundred Ruins Market tokens were more than sufficient for their needs.

Corpse Emperor Clan River System Group, Corpse Emperor Continent, Public Open Area.

[Shenxia Trading City], Dragon Spine Shops.

“Distinguished guest, please follow me!”

In the middle of the crowded and sprawling shopping center, a group consisting of three men and two women drew the gazes of many onlookers.

“Look over there, it’s the Six-star Mall Patrol Team from the Dragon Spine Song Family!”

“From what I know, the Dragon Spine branches at the Ninth Rank Holy Land level usually only have a single five-member squad of Six-star Ancient Demons. However, word is that this [Shenxia City Dragon Ridge Shop] serves as the primary headquarters on the Corpse Emperor Continent, boasting three separate teams of Six-star Ancient Demon guards.”

“If the Song Family is providing a personal escort with Six-star Patrolling Guards, just how powerful must that group be?”

As they observed the Sixth Rank Ancient Demon squad, each bearing Six-star markings upon their foreheads, the surrounding crowd erupted into hushed whispers.

Ultimately, however, every eye turned toward the three men and two women being guided by the Six-star Ancient Demon patrol.

Those with deep knowledge of the local powers quickly identified the five individuals.

“That is the Extreme Star Destroyer Captain—Yan Ba, a member of the Shenxia Yan Family.”

“The Shenxia Yan Family? You mean the one that boasts three Galaxy Captains?”

The moment the Yan Family name was mentioned, many people understood the situation immediately.

Even within the vast Shenxia Dynasty, the Yan Family was a prominent power. With a heritage spanning over seventy thousand years, they are ranked among the elite of the entire Shenxia Dynasty.

Ignoring the chatter of the masses, Yan Ba and his companions trailed the Ancient Demon guards to the highest floor of the Dragon Spine Shops.

Waiting there with a welcoming smile was the Song Family’s primary representative for the Corpse Emperor Continent.

“Greetings, Mr. Yan Ba.”

Despite the polite greeting from the Song Family head, Yan Ba merely offered a curt nod. His voice carried a clear sense of coldness.

The Song Family representative was not offended by this behavior for a simple reason.

For an Extreme Star Destroyer Captain to arrive in person for negotiations only to be met by a standard Battleship Captain would naturally cause some friction.

“Mr. Eight, please understand the situation. Because of the [Origin Star] matter, my sixth uncle was summoned back to the family’s ancestral lands years ago. I am merely the acting manager of this establishment for now, so I ask for your indulgence.”

Hearing this clarification, Yan Ba’s expression softened slightly. Considering the current massive influence of the Dragon Spine Song Family, he could only push down his annoyance and gestured with his hand:

“The super river system-level genius from the Corpse Emperor Clan has been delivered. What is your Song Family prepared to trade?”

“Mr. Eight, my uncle should have already settled the terms with you—a Golden Oddity.”

As he spoke, the Song Family’s Battleship Captain did not hesitate. Ghost Light flickered at the center of his brow, and a cluster of golden brilliance manifested from his Ancestral Torch Aperture.

It was a Golden Oddity that could be transformed into a Shipborne Engine.

Yan Ba was clearly unimpressed by this. He barely glanced at the golden engine component floating in front of him before speaking abruptly:

“This is a super river system-level prodigy with incredible potential, someone who might even challenge the myth rank in the future. Don’t you think offering just a standard golden component is a bit insulting?”

The Song Family’s Battleship Captain’s eyes flashed for a second before he replied with a smile.

“Mr. Eight, you must be joking. The Starry Sea is infinite, and while super river system-level geniuses exist, how many actually reach the mythical rank?”

“Furthermore, we must remember that the Corpse Emperor prodigy you have brought is only at the Fourth Rank. Setting aside myths, even pushing it to the Seventh or Eighth Rank would demand an immeasurable amount of time and wealth. Exchanging such a Fourth Rank specimen for a Golden Oddity is, in fact, a very equitable deal.”

After finishing his point, he fell silent, waiting calmly for Yan Ba to make a decision.

Following a lengthy silence, Yan Ba finally spoke again.

“Do you have any other golden components? I have no use for a golden engine.”

“Certainly, Mr. Eight. Which type are you looking for…”

Once he had picked a piece from the selection of golden components offered by the Song Family Captain, the five members of the Yan Family departed in haste.

The Origin Star was on the verge of fully entering the Chaos Divine Land. It wasn't just the Song Family making preparations; the Yan Family was also in the middle of final arrangements. Yan Ba had secured this golden component to bolster the strength of his flagship, as he intended to join the Origin Star mission using his Warship Avatar.

Once the Yan Family had left, the acting manager quickly called for a Fourth Rank clan member. He handed over the contained Fourth Rank Corpse Emperor Clan genius and gave orders to transport it back to the ancestral land via the spatial wormholes located on the Corpse Emperor Continent.

As the days passed, the moment for the Origin Star to descend into the Chaos Divine Land grew closer.

One day, deep within the Earth Core of the Dragon Spine Continent, Song Chi looked at the [Heaven-Swallowing Python Shedding] inside the Floating Land Origin Core. He shook his head slowly and made his way back to the Zhu Tian Ruins Market.

Over the span of several centuries, the progress of the [Heaven-Swallowing Python Shedding]’s second stage had risen from 48% to 66%. While the advancement was notable, it was obviously impossible to finish the final accumulation before the Origin Star arrived.

He had no choice but to command his family to keep gathering Corpse Evils and other cheap energy sources while he returned to the market to handle things personally.

With the Origin Star’s arrival imminent, there were vital preparations he still had to complete.

In the high heavens of the Ruin Market, Song Chi hovered silently in the air. In one hand, he gripped the [City of Transcendence Entry Certificate], while the other held the [Dimension Space Stone].
