Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1758 - 858: Shocking Upheaval

"Roar! Why did you permit their escape?"

The Silver-White Winged Dragon God wore a mask of fury, its murderous aura swirling violently in the air.

It had been prepared to intercept at least two of the vessels, but a mental command from the Green Winged Dragon God had forced it to hesitate. Now, it could only seethe with rage as the five Torch Warships moved beyond its reach.

The Green Winged Dragon God cast a cold, detached look at its companion before giving a curt reply:

"What would we gain by blocking them? They possess two mythical battle powers as well, and currently, the advantage is not ours!"

"Furthermore, do not lose sight of the fact that those were merely Warship Avatars!"

Had there only been the Shenxia Jiuli Ship to contend with, the Green Winged Dragon God would have harbored no doubts. However, the arrival of the Profound Yellow Red Yu Ship had shifted the scales of power. Prolonging the fight would inevitably draw other mythical entities to the area, and there was a high risk that the Torch Civilization forces might regroup to hunt them instead.

Having reached the Mythical Rank, the Silver-White Winged Dragon God was far from foolish. As its temper cooled, the logic of the situation became clear.

It spoke again, its tone icy:

"If we cannot settle the score on this Origin Star, perhaps we should 'pay a visit' to that Human Emperor City later on?"

As it spoke, the killing intent that had briefly faded surged once more within its pupils.

While the Mysterious Frost Winged Dragon Clan might not be the absolute peak power on the Chaos Divine Land, their Eleventh Rank Mythical Battle Power still gave them a significant edge over Human Emperor City.

Yet, this suggestion failed to impress the Green Winged Dragon God.

"That city is supported by a top-tier Chaos City and protected by two mythical battle powers; it is unlikely the Yan Ancestor could easily prevail. We must also consider their alliance with the Wizard Civilization, a faction whose strength rivals our own clan."

...

Beyond the Origin Star, within the sector held by the coalition of the Torch, Wizards, and Emperor Barbarians, a highly secure communication was taking place via the Original Torch Seed.

Nearly twenty Twelfth Rank Transcenders from over a dozen elite forces were gathered in the vicinity. Under such scrutiny, even the advanced magnetic encryption used by the Shenxia Jiuli Ship and the Profound Yellow Red Yu Ship could not guarantee total privacy. Only the exclusive Torch group chat, powered by the chaos wonder known as the Original Torch Seed, provided Song Chi and the others with absolute security.

The chat interface remained quiet for a time, yet the heavy silence conveyed a world of meaning.

Jiang Yuan, Ji Heng, Ferdinand, and Ying Yi all had their eyes fixed on Song Chi, unable to hide the profound shock they felt.

Previously, Song Chi had been granted the fifth highest authority level of the Original Torch Seed primarily due to his massive contributions—specifically his work regarding the Time Chess Board and the Sea of High Dimensions. Similarly, the recognition of the Dragon Spine Song Family’s Fifth Torch Empire was largely a result of the strategic importance of the Zhu Tian Ruins Market.

All these honors were tied to Song Chi’s utility and services to the collective. Until now, Jiang Yuan and the others viewed him through the lens of what he provided for the Torch Civilization.

Regarding his individual prowess, they knew his flagship was exceptionally well-armed, yet they never imagined the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong could stand on equal footing with their own vessels. That perception shattered the moment they saw the lifeless body of the Ice Spear Winged Dragon God.

Ying Yi and Ferdinand were particularly shaken by the revelation.

They realized that if their own flagships had faced the Ice Spear Winged Dragon God in a duel, they likely wouldn't have secured a kill.

This realization sparked a silent fire within them. Both leaders mentally revised their cultivation schedules, accelerating their plans for advancement.

It wasn't a matter of petty jealousy. Rather, as the founding pillars of their civilization, they found it hard to stomach being outperformed by a junior who was thirty thousand years younger than them.

The issue wasn't that he was catching up—it was that he had already moved ahead.

This skirmish proved that the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong’s combat effectiveness now exceeded that of the Immortal Qin Ancestor Dragon and the Heavenly Light. The only way to reclaim their standing was to achieve the rank of Mythical Immortal Ship as quickly as possible.

Even knowing that Song Chi’s ship was nearing the Tenth Rank, they felt compelled to at least reach the status of Mythical Immortal Captain before he did.

The quiet in the group chat persisted for three full minutes before Song Chi finally spoke.

"Emperor Jiang, Emperor Ji... the remains of the Ice Spear Winged Dragon God have been successfully transported to the Zhu Tian Ruins Market."

Song Chi’s calm voice echoed through the spiritual link: "Preliminary inspections indicate the mythical source blood is intact and the quality of the dragon bone is better than anticipated. Most importantly, the Seven-Colored Fire Seed oddity has been located on the corpse."

He paused there, allowing the weight of his words to settle.

Though Song Chi had dealt the killing blow himself, he knew that without the reinforcement from Jiang Yuan and the others, he never would have kept the prize. The division of these spoils was a conversation that needed to happen.

Jiang Yuan’s expression was deep, his eyes reflecting a newfound respect for the young captain. The founder of the Shenxia Dynasty spoke:

"Song Chi, you fought perfectly. You have truly exceeded all our expectations."

Ji Heng nodded in agreement, the digital avatar of the Profound Yellow Red Yu Ship shimmering in the virtual space:

"It was indeed a shock. The Ice Spear Winged Dragon God was the second most powerful of its clan's three mythicals. To slay it single-handedly is a feat that deserves to be immortalized in our civilization's history."
