Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1830 - 890: Heavenly Ruins Divine Court (2)
Previously on Global Era of Star trekking...
As soon as the heart's blood of the ancient barbaric god came into view, a savage war roar appeared to surge across eras and voids.
"Rakshasa Clan Civilization, Ninth Rank Extreme Dominator ’Netherworld’, commanded by the Rakshasa God, specially come to offer congratulations. Presenting: Netherworld Blood Sea Jade Marrow Hundred Blocks, may the essence of the Divine Court be as deep and everlasting as the blood sea!"
A hundred chunks of crimson jade marrow emerged, and right away, a piercing icy energy dispersed outward.
"Eight-Armed Snake Demon Civilization, presenting: Abyss Core — [Heart of Eternal Demon Gold Vein], may the Divine Court’s weapons be as resilient and eternal as demon gold!"
"Astrologer Civilization, presenting: Three-Colored Prophecy Wonder — [Ten Thousand Years Star Track Scroll], may the path ahead of the Divine Court be illuminated, never lost in the stars!"
"Primordial Clan Civilization, presenting: Ancient Giant — [Ancestor Finger Bone], may the foundation of the Divine Court be as steadfast as the ancestor holding the heavens, eternally unyielding!"
Dozens of representatives from diverse civilizations, all at minimum advanced ranks with many at peak elite levels, assembled in a group, their appearances varied wildly and their power essences completely distinct, but right now they united in acknowledging and bestowing good fortune upon a fresh legendary force.
They assembled above the hovering ritual stage, steadily building the mood of this founding event toward its peak intensity.
When the massive holographic indicator from the distant skyline locked onto the brightest symbol exactly, it marked that the perfect timing had come!
Buzz—Boom!!!
An unfathomable, ultimate intent, akin to a cosmic monster abruptly pulsing, swiftly covered the whole Ninth Level Floating Land, immersed in trillions of stellar rays, where all noise dissolved into a hallowed quiet.
In the following moment, the cosmos quietly ripped apart, and a colossal vessel beyond mortal description gradually surfaced from the void's abyss.
Not forged from steel, it embodied 'rules' itself, with stars as its plating, endless cannon bays as its fasteners, and myriad primal laws emerging and resounding near its frame.
Just its presence alone reshaped the principles and power thickness within this celestial realm—
Mythical Immortal Ship, Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong in its authentic shape, descends!
Facing this ultimate splendor, even the two delegates from Tenth Rank Overlord Civilizations, along with the four longstanding Torch Human Emperors positioned at the main throne's flanks, wore grave looks and gave subtle bows, showing utmost reverence to the matching authority.
Beneath myriad watchful eyes, a beam of radiance stretched down from the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong's summit, reaching directly to the ritual platform's heart.
At the beam's tip, a silhouette in a dark Dragon Whale Imperial Robe materialized, the garment depicting endless loops of sun and moon, flowing stellar streams, and the universe's primal birth unfolding without end.
The crown obscured his features, revealing only eyes profound like the Starry Sea and grand as the Dao, and with each stride, it seemed he trod upon the universe's very rhythm.
He was the mightiest from the Dragon Spine Song family, the acknowledged Fifth Human Emperor of Torch Civilization, the creator of the brand-new Heavenly Ruins Divine Court—Song Chi.
At the same time, next to and trailing him, a Superdimensional Mother Ship hovered silently, with Song Yan positioned at its forefront, having just risen to Superdimensional Captain.
A Mythical Immortal Captain paired with a Superdimensional Captain—the Dragon Spine Song family's formidable strength now reached its absolute height, unchallenged by any.
Song Chi’s eyes, steady yet brimming with unyielding resolve, gradually scanned the vast assembly of dignitaries from Torch Civilization's core regions and the fractured Starry Sea's many alliances.
The very next instant, not booming or fierce but like the murmur of Star Sea Dao principles, it echoed clearly and deeply into every soul's core:
"I, Song Chi."
"Bear the heavy responsibility of Torch Civilization, follow the great trend of Starry Sea evolution, heed the wishes of all living beings!"
"Today, with the command of 292 direct river systems, establish the Heavenly Ruins Divine Court here, henceforth, under the Starry Sea, within Torch territories, the Five Great Empires shall stand together!"
"Henceforth, I and Heavenly Ruins Song family, will be the fifth Heavenly Pillar of civilization, protect our kindred, guard the borders, explore all heavens in the Starry Sea, until the end of time and space!"
"Ceremony—complete—!"
The last two terms "ceremony complete", resembling the inaugural heavenly tone at creation's dawn, at once activated the "trillion divine praise cannons" pre-placed across Dragon Spine Continent!
Though perhaps Heavenly Ruins Continent fits better these days.
Boom boom boom boom!
No ruin, just pure generative and fortuitous forces bursting forth, infinite radiant beams turning into solid flame phoenixes, dragon whales, azure dragons... all sorts of omens parading in luminous trails;
Golden lotus thrones unfurl in emptiness, every leaf chanting a sacred ode of fortune;
Stellar glows spelled out "Congratulations" in tongues of endless species, pouring like a cascade across every bit of visible void.
The Starry Sea, in this instant, delivered its grandest, most passionate, and holy offering for the rise of the Fifth Human Empire.
"Congratulations to the Heavenly Ruins Divine Court!"
"Congratulations to His Majesty Emperor Song!"
"May the Divine Court be everlasting and the Torch shine forever!"
Cheers from the Human Race and the Starry Sea's countless peoples blended with the energy surge and Law harmonies, creating a flood that rushed over Heavenly Ruins Continent, relentless and perpetual.
Within this supreme radiance and uproar, the Heavenly Ruins Continent blazed with light, claiming the spotlight of this galactic festivity and from now on serving as the undying pulse of Torch Human Civilization’s fifth strength hub—"Heavenly Ruins Divine Court"!
Song Chi positioned himself atop the Floating Land Firmament, absorbing the splendor of tributes from countless realms, embracing the cosmic laws and rules' graces.
His sight cut through the dazzling display ahead, reaching into farther, deeper unknown stellar flows.
The Heavenly Pillar stood firm, yet the path stretched infinitely; the saga of the Heavenly Ruins Divine Court and Song Chi had merely begun its opening line, with coming volumes destined to span broader horizons, shine brighter, and ignite the whole Shattered Starry Sea Age.
...
The establishment rite wrapped up swiftly, and myriad armadas started departing Heavenly Ruins Continent in organized fashion; yet some stayed behind.
Heavenly Ruins Continent, Dragon Spine Sacred Mountain, Song family Guest Hall.
In the prime seat of the rite sat Song Chi, the fresh ruler of Heavenly Ruins Divine Court as expected; but beside him was just an Eighth Rank Galaxy Captain.
Opposite them sat multiple clusters of visitors.
Beyond the imperial envoys from the Four Great Empires guided by the four elder Human Emperors, a few other Immortal Giant Forces appeared unexpectedly.
Song Chi cast a brief look, spotting Immortal Qin Heavy Industry, Big Dipper Seven Stars Hall, Heavenly Eagle Tan family, Fu Yao Pei family, among others.
He pulled back his eyes, ignoring these folks for the most part, his attention shifting straight to the group headed by Jiang Yuan and the four companions.
"Jiang Yuan, Ji Heng... what is this?"
Hearing the inquiry, the four grinned and shook their heads. Though they added no words, their joint glance at Song Hanyu below revealed everything to Song Chi in a flash.
With a faint crease in his brow, Song Chi held off on replying, instead mulling deeply over the situation.
He had let slip some hints earlier on.
For his trueborn son, Song Hanyu’s union involved not just his own life but the Divine Court’s upcoming ties to other powers. It demanded a partner whose rank, gifts, and support matched perfectly.
Right then, visions of fitting young ladies from the attending powers raced through his thoughts, their looks and lineages. Soon enough, he settled on a choice.
He directed his view to the entourage behind Ji Heng.
As the imperial line of Chi Yu Divine Dynasty, the Ji Clan's vast legacy needed no explanation. With them came a high prince of the Ji royal house, not only an Extreme Star River Ship Captain but the top prospect in the Ji royal line for Superdimensional Captain. His true daughter, Ji Yao, held Extreme Star River Ship Captain status too.
Regarding prestige, she fell short of Song Hanyu, the true first prince of Heavenly Ruins Divine Court, but crucially, no fitting daughters of marriageable age existed among the direct heirs of the Four Great Empires’ Human Emperors, positioning Ji Yao as the ideal pick now.
Noticing Song Chi’s choice, the parties wrapped things up quickly, setting a near-term wedding date.
But this marked no conclusion. Right after, the quiet Ying Yi broke in:
"Song Chi, I heard from Little Li that you’ve shared life-and-death experiences with my niece Jing’er on numerous occasions, and your bond has long surpassed the ordinary. However, my niece is shy and unskilled at expressing herself. With this joyous occasion of the empire’s founding, why not let both our families share in this joy?"
"In this way, with both queens standing in the Divine Court, it would become a tale worth telling."
Though the statement came suddenly, Song Chi showed no astonishment. Actually, Ying Yi had asked in private before, and he’d gained Shen Youran’s approval already. This was just the formal reveal.
"I have long admired Jing’er; thus, let this matter be settled."
