Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1750 - 854: Millennia of History · Clan Evolution

The Chaos Demon Ape's thunderous roar cut off instantly. At the site of the puncture wound left by the azure Star Blade, a brilliant, chaotic radiance flared out—a clear indication that the [Chaos Mirror Image Stone] was about to be revealed.

"Capture it!"

Inside the chest of the Three Corpses Superstate Mecha, the superdimensional melting furnace suddenly shifted into reverse. A violent suction force erupted, causing the palm-sized chaotic crystal within the Demon Ape to shudder uncontrollably. However, the Buddha Light and Mythical Power enveloping the guardian ape surged like boiling water, desperately pinning the [Chaos Mirror Image Stone] in place to prevent it from being torn away.

Song Chi held nothing back. Capitalizing on the moment, he triggered the [Void Warehouse] once more, directing a fresh, irresistible Absorbing Force toward the Top Rank [Chaos Mirror Image Stone].

"No!"

From the dark heart of the Burial God Abyss, a furious scream tore through the air: "Stop them at all costs!"

The Half-Dragon Man Guardian, previously pinned down by the Profound Yellow Red Yu, abruptly detonated three of its Sharira. The resulting explosion of Buddha Power was so intense it shattered the Rule Chains binding it.

A swastika emblem on its brow began spinning in reverse, signaling its intent to trigger the "Fate Reversal," a Forbidden Technique of the Shi Clan.

"Boom!"

The Shenxia Jiuli Ship moved to dominate the center of the fray. Thousands of Fire Snakes erupted from its massive hull, weaving a 360-degree, airtight net of firepower that encased the Half-Dragon Man Guardian.

"Jiang Yuan!"

The calm of the Ancestor Buddha had vanished, replaced by a voice trembling with rage and bitterness:

"I swear upon the Great Brahma Heaven, if your Torch Civilization dares to seize that [Chaos Mirror Image Stone] today, the Overlord Shi Clan will wage an eternal war against you!"

The only answer was a sudden, explosive surge of Mythical pressure from the Profound Yellow Red Yu. Ji Heng’s silhouette materialized on the bridge, backed by thirty-three layers of celestial phenomena, each layer manifesting a phantom of Human Emperor City to exert crushing pressure.

"Two millennia..." Ji Heng’s voice echoed across the void: "Have you not bled the Origin Star of enough resources? Why is it that you believe you can only be the hunters, and never the prey?"

As his words faded, the two Mythical Immortal Ship Avatars drove back the Half-Dragon Man Guardian that was trying to intervene. Moments later, the Three Corpses Superstate Mecha successfully wrenched the Top Rank [Chaos Mirror Image Stone] into its grasp.

Throughout the entire exchange, the Ancestor Buddha’s threats were treated as noise.

An endless war might have troubled the Torch Civilization during Jiang Yuan’s early days. However, with Ji Heng’s ascension to the rank of Mythical Immortal Captain, they now possessed two Mythical Power entities. The Torch Civilization was no longer fragile. Among the top ten recorded Overlord Civilizations, they could now claim a spot in the middle to lower ranks.

Furthermore, they were backed by their alliance with the Wizard Civilization. Although the Shi Clan Civilization was formidable—surpassing the Wizard Civilization by several degrees—launching a total war against the Torch Civilization across a distance of a trillion light-years was a feat they could not yet achieve.

"Retreat!"

Song Chi and his comrades did not waste time. With the Top Rank [Chaos Mirror Image Stone] secured, all five vessels initiated superluminal jumps simultaneously. In the blink of an eye, the five warships vanished from the Burial God Abyss.

Just as they departed, a massive Buddha Hand rose from the depths of the abyss and burst into flames. Within the golden Buddha Fire, countless agonizing faces appeared—had Song Chi been there, he would have recognized the tell-tale gray mist energy swirling in their eyes.

But the ships were long gone, leaving the legion of gray-misted faces to sink back into the Burial God Abyss, howling in useless fury.

Only a freezing voice remained hanging in the sky.

"Torch Humanity..."

...

In truth, this was not the first time Song Chi’s team had successfully plundered a Top Rank [Chaos Mirror Image Stone].

Over the last two thousand years, the Torch Civilization had gathered a wealth of intelligence regarding the Burial God Abyss, though they had previously lacked the strength to act on it.

With Ji Heng’s arrival on the [Profound Yellow Red Yu], the team now boasted two Mythical Immortal Ship Avatars. When combined with the Three Corpses Superstate Mecha formed by three Superdimensional Mother Ship Avatars, they effectively wielded three Mythical Power entities. Very few foes could now stand in their way.

During the 2,800th year following the fall of the Origin Star, the five-man squad intercepted and seized a Seven-Colored Strange Object from two Mythical beings of the Mountain Splitting Clan.

In the 4,000th year, they launched a devastating strike to obliterate a Tenth Rank Starry Sky Array Star-cutting Grass.

By the 5,400th year, they managed to snatch a wisp of Seven-Colored Fire Seed Oddity, though it cost them the destruction of their avatars at the hands of an Eleventh Rank native Fire-devouring Giant.

In the 6,000th year, bolstered by two Mythical Witch Puppets from the Wizard Civilization, the team ambushed and slew a Mythical Heavenly Dragon Guardian of the Shi Clan, splitting a hoard gathered over millennia.

...

It could be said that Ji Heng’s arrival was the final piece of the puzzle for the Torch Civilization's premier exploration team. In the centuries that followed, they were responsible for numerous Mythical-level upheavals.

Of course, their path wasn't only paved with victory. Total wipes or the loss of warship avatars were frequent occurrences. They once crossed paths with the Sand Spirit Clan—one of the ten Transcendent Forces—and were utterly dismantled in under two minutes by five Mythical Sand Spirit units utilizing the Star Refining Mad Sand Formation.

...

On this day, another complication arose, though the incident was limited to Song Chi’s Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong Image Warship.

Taking advantage of the month-long cooldown for [Mirror Image Splitting], Song Chi took his leave of Jiang Yuan and the others. He utilized the Zhu Tian Ruins Market to return to the Dragon Spine Continent.

Corpse Emperor Clan River System Group, Heavenly Corpse River System.

This system was once a minor territory among the ninety-two governed by the Dragon Spine Song Family—a desolate, resource-poor expanse. Recently, however, it had transformed into the most watched location within the Corpse Emperor Clan systems and the three territories under the Torch Civilization’s jurisdiction.
