Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1834: 892: Mythic Starry Sky Plant [War Puppet Mother Tree]

Zhu Tian Ruins Market, during the Ruins Trading Day, on the third floor of the Ruin Market Inn.

Click!

A sharp click echoed as the door to a trading chamber in the market swung open abruptly, and right away, a diminutive figure with green skin and triangular eyes stepped into view.

To the casual observer, it appeared rather unremarkable, even a bit shady, yet what remained unknown to most was that this unassuming entity ranked among the earliest longtime patrons of the Zhu Tian Ruins Market.

In the span of twenty thousand years, the vast advantages offered by the Zhu Tian Ruins Market had propelled the former Goblin Luke to the heights of Seventh Rank Dominator, granting him legendary status within the Silver Goblin Empire and reverence as the Goblin God among billions of Silver Goblins.

Yet, unlike the smug confidence that once lit his features more than ten thousand years back, Luke had adopted a far more subdued demeanor over the recent ten millennia.

This shift was unavoidable; anyone who had beheld the arrival of Origin Star, drawing in tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Eighth and Ninth Rank Dominator-level extraterrestrial beings to the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, would surely feel their own Seventh Rank breakthrough pale in comparison.

Still, something set today's Luke apart from his typical restraint. A spark of unrestrained delight flickered deep in his triangular gaze. Exiting the Ruin Market Inn, he hurried straight to the Oddity Exchange Shop.

…

“Great Ruins Market Lord, regarding the mission you assigned three centuries ago to [collect mythological starry sky plant tree heart or related information], Luke has gathered some intelligence.”

High above in the Ruin Market Firmament, in a zone elusive to those below, the Mythical Immortal Ship Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong floated silently. Within the battleship's primary control chamber, Song Chi, fresh from seclusion on the lv109 [Spectral Energy Cultivation Platform], abruptly snapped his eyes open.

The details shared by Goblin Luke seized his focus at once.

With merely a few thousand years remaining before the downfall of [Heaven-Fighting Ruins], accelerating the [Golden Apple Mother Tree] to Tenth Rank could yield extra batches of Tenth Rank [Golden Apples].

This held vital importance for boosting the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong's battle strength in the days ahead. Freshly elevated to Mythical Immortal Ship status, reaching the Eleventh Rank Mythical Origin Ship anytime soon proved out of reach; thus, other avenues needed exploration to amplify the vessel's fighting prowess.

[Continue speaking!]

In the Oddity Exchange Shop, Luke's pulse raced for a moment, but he plunged ahead with his account without pause:

“Lord, the story traces back to the Silver Goblin Empire's launch into interstellar expansion. Across twenty thousand years, as the empire pushed its frontiers and scouted nearby Star Domains, its domain grew ever more vast. Yet recently, an outer perimeter magic energy scouting fleet vanished without trace. Investigations point strongly to a Super Galaxy Plant connection in the Star Domain of their disappearance.”

While recounting, Luke flicked his hand lightly, retrieving an item from his Magic Energy Storage Ring.

His gesture sent the item vanishing from his grasp, only to materialize moments later in the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong's control room.

“Could this be… a Wood Puppet?”

Song Chi's eyes scanned the wooden creature puppet before him, his brow creasing.

Per Luke's account, this creature-form puppet—more accurately, a Wood Puppet—belonged to a unique lifeform thriving in that Star Domain. It was exactly these peculiar Wood Puppets that led Luke to suspect a Super Rank starry sky plant lurked at the heart of that region.

“Yes, this Wood Puppet harbors a potent trace of a starry sky plant’s Life Origin, marking it as a Mythical starry sky plant without question.”

Whispering to himself, Song Chi held off on responding to Luke right away. He instead channeled the Power of Mythical Status from the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, combined with his Tenth Rank mythical life hierarchy, to probe the Wood Puppet's hidden depths thoroughly.

After several dozen breaths, he unraveled the Wood Puppet entirely, laying bare every strand of its inner energy, origins, rules, and more—nothing escaped his insight.

But he pressed on. With a mental shift, he directed the [Dome Sky Wisdom Brain] to summon the warship database's full records on all known starry sky plant varieties for cross-reference.

Under two minutes passed before Song Chi pinpointed a matching starry sky plant species.

[Name: War Puppet Mother Tree]

[Affiliation: Starry Sky Plant]

[Potential: Extremely High]

[Description: A scarce starry sky plant variety that breeds diverse war puppets. Provided with ample resources, it generates fighters one rank above its own (capped below the Lord of the Starfield, Dominator, Mythical Ranks), rivaling the dreaded Insect Queen in threat.]

[Incomplete War Puppet Types: Starry Sky Beast Puppet, Four-winged Battle Puppet, Wooden Thorn Demon Puppet, Fortress Mother Puppet, Shadow Puppet, Self-destructive Bee Puppet, Tree Stump Puppet, etc.]

[Note: This starry sky plant poses extreme peril. Upon facing a War Puppet Mother Tree at equal or superior rank, flee without second thought!]

Having absorbed the database entry, Song Chi's gaze sharpened.

The details made it clear: the [War Puppet Mother Tree] stood as one of the thorniest varieties, and this one was a Mythical specimen.

Though a flicker of doubt crossed his mind, he soon dispatched his response to Luke.

[Excellent. Erect an All Heavens Transmission Platform by this trading day's close, then stand down. For your efforts, select any oddity up to Three-Colored Quality from the Oddity Exchange Shop.]

“My deepest gratitude, lord!”

Joy surged through Luke instantly, and he wasted no time, retreating to the inn to assemble a subsidiary All Heavens Transmission Platform in the Silver Goblin Empire's Star Domain.
