Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1846 - 897: Myth Variant Virus Spores (Part 2)

Following that, Song Chi meticulously examined the state of the cultivation secret realm right under his feet, confirming that everything remained secure. The Golden Apple Mother Tree anchored inside it could never slip out to draw any unwanted gazes. He readied himself to head back to the all-attributes cultivation chamber in the ruins market, aiming to absorb his recent gains while practicing in tranquility, all in preparation for the "Heaven-Fighting Ruins" conflict fated to ravage enormous territories after thousands of years.

Yet, precisely as his spiritual awareness neared total withdrawal, the compact Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong nestled in the ancestral aperture between his brows—housing the Five-Colored Sky Patrol Radar [Eye of Truth] acquired from the Father of Truth—reactivated its linked "Mythical Coordinates" ability once its centuries-long cooldown had passed.

Abruptly, a pristine spatial coordinate materialized at the heart of Song Chi’s consciousness.

"Hmm? It’s here again..."

Initially, Song Chi brushed it off without much thought. This function delivered a haphazard location for some mythical relic every couple of centuries, though those spots were invariably far beyond reach from the Torch Civilization's territory.

Moments later, as he instinctively gauged the new coordinate's distance relative to the Torch Civilization domain, a fierce tremor jolted his spiritual sense.

"This distance... it's merely a few trillion light-years off? Right inside the [Space Wormhole Generator]'s ultimate leap capability?!"

A few trillion light-years struck as a colossal span for typical societies, yet for Song Chi, armed with a Tenth Rank Battleship and elite spatial tech such as the [Space Wormhole Generator], such a gap had become surmountable.

His pulse quickened despite himself, the nearness of these mythical coordinates—stemming from a legendary relic—undeniably stirring his ambitions.

Without delay, Song Chi seized the chance; he never let such prospects slip by.

Still, for caution's sake, he avoided endangering his own form.

Through a simple thought, the [Mirror Image Splitting] module engaged, and shortly after, a duplicate vessel mirroring almost every power of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong materialized gradually.

"Go!"

Assisted by the provisional [Space Wormhole Generator] module fitted into it, the duplicate vessel swiftly left the Heavenly Ruins Continent, tracing that firm but immensely remote space wormhole portal toward the far-off stellar region tied to the mythical coordinates.

Over the ensuing days, Song Chi's true form oversaw operations from the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, emphasizing clan growth, while monitoring the [Split Mountain Ancestor City] under his watch in the Chaos Divine Land. At the same time, he tracked the duplicate vessel's voyage remotely via their soul connection.

The wormhole transit proceeded without hitches; traversing trillions of light-years shrank to mere instants via the space wormhole, but upon the duplicate vessel's arrival at the mythical coordinates' zone, the vista before it sparked deep unease.

This sprawled a tremendously expansive stellar expanse long dominated by a horde of utterly loathsome creatures.

Myriad insect race entities in diverse shapes and vicious oral appendages infested the whole stellar expanse and galactic network, ferociously stripping every resource in sight and transforming it into raw bio-energy to breed even vaster insect swarms for the Insect Mother.

This place truly served as a key command zone for the Starry Sea Insect Race.

Moreover, based on the faint yet infinite awareness emanating from the stellar expanse's depths, it seemed probable this was a personal realm of a Primordial Mother Queen among the insects.

"The mythical coordinates... lead straight to the insect race's nest?" Song Chi's spirits plummeted, realizing the situation had turned profoundly complicated.

Insect race domains stood under ironclad protection, particularly the stellar expanse sheltering a Primordial Mother Queen, a deadly den brimming with perils.

While the duplicate vessel packed formidable strength, detection would unleash ceaseless insect tides upon it, perhaps even alerting the Primordial Mother Queen herself. Then, mere survival would eclipse any quest for discovery.

Song Chi grasped the dread instilled by the Starry Sea Insect Race all too well. As one of the Shattered Starry Sea's three supreme disasters, spanning more than forty galactic system clusters, the Starry Sea Insect Race endured as the shared foe of every sentient society in the Shattered Starry Sea. Even so, amid enmity from the Eternal Clan and the Titan Giant civilization—both harboring transcended entities—the Starry Sea Insect Race never yielded ground.

Every entity in the Shattered Starry Sea recognized the implications.

Deep within, the Starry Sea Insect Race sheltered a Twelfth Rank transcended mother queen, probably able to stand firm against the transcenders of both the Eternal Clan and Titan Giant civilization.

With these thoughts swirling, Song Chi wavered.

After some deliberation, he chose against instant retreat, instead directing the duplicate vessel through the soul link and merging the [Eye of Truth]'s probing prowess with the [Three Realms Five Elements Certificate]'s stealth features to their limits. Like a spectral shadow, it warily navigated the hazardous stellar expanse, methodically closing in on the coordinate's scope.

This scouting endeavor proved far tougher than anticipated. The insect race's bio-detection web blanketed the cosmos; on multiple occasions, near-misses were dodged only thanks to the [Three Realms Five Elements Certificate]'s supreme seven-colored concealment and the duplicate vessel's sturdy capabilities.

Luckily, persistence pays off under the heavens. Through years of grueling hunts and refinements, the duplicate vessel at last pinpointed a bizarre nebula swarming with insect defenses.

This nebula exuded an uncanny aura, formed not from standard stellar debris and vapors, but saturated with a thick, ominous dark green haze.

Innumerable minuscule spores radiating subtle vital pulses drifted and writhed like animate beings amid the haze, forming an innate shield that blocked nearly all probes; even the [Eye of Truth]'s scan beams turned hazy and indistinct inside.
