Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1833 - 891: Family Foundation Summary_3

High above in the grand hall, seated upon the "Immortal Throne" adorned with patterns of cosmic origins, Song Chi, clad in simple robes, looked down steadily at the assembled elites of the clan. Even without deliberate aura projection, his presence alone dominated this domain utterly, as though one mere intention from him could determine the fate of the entire Starry Sea.

Beside Song Chi, positioned a bit lower, sat Superdimensional Captain Song Yan on the left, while on the right was the clan's founding forebear, Star River Captain Song Wujiang.

Below them stood the present leader of the Song family, who also served as one of the numerous Star River Captains in the clan—Song Yiming.

Arrayed after them were the Eighth Rank Star River Captains, including Song Shiyuan, Song Xingru, Shen Youran, Song Hanyu, and more, alongside more than six hundred Seventh Rank Annihilation Starship Captains.

This impressive assembly already outshines most Immortal Giant Gates in the Torch Civilization; truly, the Song family has now earned the stature of a Heavenly Pillar Royal Family.

"Silence!"

Song Yiming's tone rang firm, carrying the essence of a Star River Captain, echoing instantly across the expansive hall.

The faint whispers that had lingered before disappeared at once, and every gaze from the clan turned upward, brimming with awe, thrill, and honor.

"The purpose of calling everyone here today," Song Yiming scanned the assembly, his words booming, "is first to mark the official rise of our Heavenly Ruins Song Family to Heavenly Pillar Royal Family status, planting a sacred foothold in the Starry Sea. Second, to thoroughly review and catalog our existing assets, allowing us to map out the path ahead more clearly, and to secure these vast, borderless domains for our civilization!"

"Next, I shall reveal the report, prepared through the combined work of all clan halls, outlining the present might of our Heavenly Ruins Song Family!"

With those words, a massive display unfurled from the hall's ceiling, where orderly golden characters in dense formation started to materialize, each symbol packed with immense data flows.

Song Yiming's declaration aligned with the details flashing on the screen:

"First, Bloodline Population: The Song family now boasts direct descendants scattered over 292 river systems under Divine Court rule, reaching more than 120 billion in total, with the share of Torch Ship Captains growing each year, and prodigies arising in great numbers!"

While most clan folk don't qualify as captains, within a vast populace surpassing hundreds of billions, the geniuses produced remain plentiful, building the clan's unyielding base that endures forever. Numerous captains down below saw sparks of pride ignite in their stares as they absorbed this.

"Second, Apex Combat Power:"

"One Tenth Rank Mythical Immortal Ship: [Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong], commanded by the Fifth Human Emperor and the Lord of the Divine Court, Chi Ancestor!"

"One Tenth Rank Enslaved Mythical Creature: [Mythical Asura]"

"One Ninth Rank Superdimensional Mother Ship: commanded by Superdimensional Captain Song Yan!"

At that moment, every clan member underneath directed intense, worshipful looks at the leading Song Chi and the nearby Song Yan, for these two formed the unbreakable pillar of the Song family, embodying the Heavenly Pillar of their civilization.

"Eleven Eighth Rank Star River-class Cruisers! Commanded by Song Wujiang, Song Shiyuan, Song Xingru...

Six hundred thirty-eight Seventh Rank Annihilation Starships, with their captains' details already loaded into the ancestral hall's optical brain, so no need to list them aloud here!" (Down below, over six hundred Seventh Rank Captains stirred with excitement, as this count vastly outstrips those of the Immortal Giant Gates!)

"Third, Strategic Resources:"

"Three large renewable [Titanium Crystal] veins!" (A murmur of surprise rippled from below, for vast renewable titanium crystal deposits prove priceless, serving as the vital support for upgrading Torch Warship parts!)

"Fifteen medium renewable [Titanium Crystal] veins!"

"Sixty-nine small renewable [Titanium Crystal] veins!"

"In addition, assorted grades of [Floating Land Origin], unique [Energy Baryte], [Dominant True Spirit] stockpiles, diverse [Ship-mounted Components], [Special Shipborne Resources]... Their exact quantities compile into a classified ledger, viewable only by core clan insiders."

"Fourth, Territories and Vassals:"

"Directly controlled river systems: 292! (Under the Heavenly Ruins Divine Court, tied straight to the Song family)"

"Nurtured alien races: Ancient Demons (over a million strong), Robber Star Race (over five million strong), Star Sea Giant Apes (over a million strong), plus countless other low-to-mid tier alien groups."

"Subjugated Alien Star Domain Life Floating Lands, Resource Secret Realms, Resource Floating Lands: precise counts remain classified, yet their yields make up two-tenths of the clan's overall resource haul!"

One by one, these stark figures unveiled a staggering might and deep-rooted base that could overwhelm with its weight.

Each Song family captain in attendance sensed their pulses quicken and fervor rise as they took it in.

They understood full well the power and command these figures signified, evolving from a cramped spot on the Dragon Spine Continent to ruling almost three hundred river systems, reigning over the Starry Sea as the Fifth Heavenly Pillar Royal Family—what an astonishing stride this represents.

Song Yiming's voice peaked dramatically: "That covers a basic tally of our Heavenly Ruins Song Family's current base, achieved through the united labors of every clan member, all under the radiant guidance of the Lord of the Divine Court!"

"However, the Starry Sea stretches endlessly, ringed by mighty foes, so we cannot grow lax in any way. This tally today isn't meant for self-satisfaction, but to grasp our advantages and spot our gaps; I urge all to hold fast that our destiny's fate rests with every one of us, urging us to press on with vigor and determination, upholding the Heavenly Pillar Royal Family's prestige, defending the Heavenly Ruins, and kindling the Torch in splendor!"

"Keep the Heavenly Ruins safeguarded, ignite the Torch with glory!!" From below, the captains of Seventh Rank and above roared together, their chorus crashing like waves, rattling the whole Dragon Whale Ancestor Hall, while boundless war fervor and resolve shot skyward, seeming to burst free from the chamber and echo across the Starry Sea.

From his seat on the sacred throne, Song Chi at last gave a subtle nod, a trace of satisfaction crossing his features.

He stood gradually, requiring no speech, for his eyes alone seized the attention of everyone present.

"Good."

Merely one word, but it carried boundless praise and hope, while neatly wrapping up this pivotal clan gathering that had unified their morale and assessed their core strength.

Once the clan meeting ended, the colossal war apparatus of the Song family would surge onward into greater depths of the Starry Sea, armed with sharper goals and fiercer drive.
