Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1864 - 905: All Preparations Complete (Part 2)
Previously on Global Era of Star trekking...
With all these elaborate setups in place, the fate of the Peak of Tenth Rank Void Demon, once ensnared by the sealing light curtain, was inevitably doomed.
The two Eleventh Rank White Bone Giants fearlessly dominated it with overwhelming might, as Song Chi maneuvered a pair of warships to circle the edges, firing vibrant ship cannons now and then for targeted shots that gradually drained its vitality.
Just three days into the fierce clash, and as expected, right when this Peak of Tenth Rank Void Demon Grand Duke's energies were fully depleted and despair loomed near, Song Chi unleashed the [Song of Divine Favor] along with its duplicate, then triggered the Five-Colored [Heavenly Authority Control Ring]'s "Absolute Enslavement" ability.
Like unseen chains, the formidable Enslavement Mark seeped deeply into the Void Demon Grand Duke’s Soul Core, layer upon layer. At first, this Peak of Tenth Rank Void Demon put up a fierce resistance, but after relentless waves of enslavement in the ensuing minutes, it finally broke and fell completely under the sway of the Heavenly Authority Control Ring.
Having tamed this Peak of Tenth Rank Void Demon successfully, Song Chi pressed on without pause; relying on just one such enslaved powerhouse wasn't enough for safety. Moreover, the [Song of Divine Favor] had refreshed its cooldown thanks to the [Blessing of the Time God King]. Song Chi wasted no time and struck again swiftly.
Over the course of just a handful of days, he managed to subjugate yet another Peak of Tenth Rank Void Demon Grand Duke. Now, with no time to waste, he rushed both into the Medical Repair Cabin, pouring in every available resource to mend their wounds and revive their conditions.
The vital next phase involves securing protective amulets for the pair to fend off any fallout or meddling from Transcenders.
Many years afterward, Song Chi's awareness returned to the City of Transcendence.
With the clock ticking relentlessly, he needed to rack up sufficient "transcendence contribution points" for these two fresh Void Demon slaves in mere months to unlock [Law Enforcer] privileges.
That status alone would let them access the full details of the [Special Exchange Area], which he'd scoured across the City of Transcendence without spotting anything to thwart Transcenders—except perhaps that enigmatic [Special Exchange Area] holding some promise.
Song Chi directed the duo of legendary Void Demons to dive headlong into perilous missions brimming with contribution points, like assassinations and clearances.
Leveraging the Void Demons' natural battle prowess and their Peak of Tenth Rank power, Song Chi's covert aid wasn't even required; they cleared tasks with astonishing speed.
This turned into a desperate dash against the clock. Each day left Song Chi on edge, monitoring the Immortal Domain Continent's pull while overseeing the "advancement" of the two Void Demons in the City of Transcendence.
In the end, with only one month left before the Immortal Domain Continent fully escaped the Void Sea Dark Side's grasp, the pair of legendary Void Demons had gathered the needed transcendence contribution points and officially ascended to [Law Enforcer] ranks in the City of Transcendence.
As soon as they claimed [Law Enforcer] status, Song Chi sensed through the Soul Link a dramatic upgrade in their privileges across the City of Transcendence.
The long-awaited [Exchange Zone]'s perpetually shadowed [Special Exchange Area] roster at last revealed itself to the "two Void Demons'" gaze.
Song Chi's breath caught in his throat, his mind shadowing their senses as it plunged toward that elusive roster.
Few treasures appeared on the roster, yet every one radiated an intimidating presence, their explanations shattering ordinary expectations:
Colorful Extreme [Shield of the Sky Abyss Star’s Core]
Exchange Requirement: 4 million transcendence contribution points, [Law Enforcer] authority
...
Colorful Extreme [Desire Demon Fire]
Exchange Requirement: 3 million transcendence contribution points, [Law Enforcer] authority
...
Five-Colored [Transcendence Contract (One-Time)]: a single-use contract scroll crafted by the City of Transcendence. When bound, it grants brief shelter under the city's rules, shielding from one instance of indirect transcendence-level causal pursuit or rule erasure (useless against outright assaults).
Exchange Requirement: 1 million transcendence contribution points, [Law Enforcer] authority.
...
Seven-Colored [Space-Time Beacon·Fake]: a remarkable fake beacon mimicking the City of Transcendence's foundational rules, enabling a single arbitrary far-flung space-time jump that bypasses sub-dimensional barriers.
Exchange Requirement: 10 million transcendence contribution points, [Law Enforcer] authority
...
Seven-Colored [Rule Shielding Field (One-Time)]: when activated, it generates a compact rule domain that briefly blocks all rule-based assaults within and beyond it, holding firm against up to Twelfth Rank Peak Level Rule Power
Exchange Requirement: 15 million transcendence contribution points, [Law Enforcer] authority
Seven-Colored [Transcendence Relic (Fragment)]: a shard from the husk discarded by an ancient mythic transcender, infused with baffling primal rules of the grand path, purpose unclear, intensely perilous
Exchange Requirement: 20 million transcendence contribution points, [Inspector] authority
[One-Time Transcendence City Law Enforcement Summoning Order]: permits compelling a City of Transcendence subordinate (capped at below Eleventh Rank power) to appear, and while summoned, it must obey the issuer's every command without question
Exchange Requirement: 8 million transcendence contribution points per piece, [Law Enforcer] authority
...
Every entry on the roster demanded sky-high costs and often demanded particular clearances.
Song Chi's focus snapped straight to [Space-Time Beacon·Fake] and [Rule Shielding Field].
"As expected... The City of Transcendence truly hides ways to defy Transcenders, even if they're just flawed knockoffs or one-offs, and priced so outrageously..."
His pulse thundered, but the sight of millions and tens of millions in required points brought a wave of daunting weight crashing down.
His wild efforts over these recent months had barely scraped together a bit more than ten million transcendence contribution points.
"Time to decide...[Transcendence Contract (One-Time)] tops the list; it straight-up blocks causal tracing, the ultimate safeguard. Even though neither he nor the mirror image warship gets hands-on, these two Void Demon Grand Dukes count as Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong’s bound creatures too, so tracing could still reach them...[Rule Shielding Field] sets up a barrier against Twelfth Rank Transcender blows, giving the Void Demons breathing room for their moves, but the points fall way short."
Song Chi's thoughts whirled, balancing advantages, drawbacks, and outcomes.
At last, he committed to a daring move, channeling profits from the Origin Star venture and swapping them entirely for transcendence contribution points.
Ultimately, he secured two [Transcendence Contracts], followed by a [Rule Shielding Field], draining a whopping 17 million transcendence contribution points in total.
Once the trades wrapped up, his stockpile of transcendence contribution points dwindled to almost nothing, yet a profound relief settled within him.
These two [Transcendence Contracts (One-Time)] paired with the [Rule Shielding Field (One-Time)] formed the backbone of security for his audacious scheme to seize from the jaws this round.
Without delay, he recalled the two Void Demons fresh from their law enforcer induction in the City of Transcendence. Gaining that rank served only to peek into the special exchange zone. Mission accomplished, he felt no lingering ties.
The City of Transcendence stirred in him a profound wariness and aversion, and he shunned any deeper involvement.
From there, his focus shifted back to the Immortal Domain Continent Ruins. Preparations stood complete, though jumping in right away wasn't wise. He had to pinpoint the ideal moment, preferably one letting him obliterate the three legendary gray mist energy entities overseeing parts of the Slaying Immortal Sword Formation.
Naturally, the cutoff loomed in the next month, the last stretch—if no prime chance emerged, he'd compel the two Void Demon Grand Dukes to charge in forcefully.
And so, moments slipped by, most of the month vanishing in a blur, until anxiety gnawed at Song Chi's core—then, on this fateful day, he spotted the flawless opening to launch!!!
