Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1878: 912: Starry Sea’s Shocking Upheaval
Gazing upon the legendary battlefield within the outer chaotic void that refused to calm down, Song Chi realized his approach needed alteration. Persisting in this draining struggle wouldn't yield shifts, and could render the scattered legendary powers even more vulnerable to unpredictable outside influences.
Harboring this idea, Song Chi wasted no time in doubt; his consciousness switched, diving into the “Original Torch Seed—Highest Communication Channel”.
Song Chi: “We can’t go on like this!”
His words bore an unmatched seriousness, echoing straight through the top communication channel.
The sudden statement instantly reached Jiang Yuan and the rest, yet prior to their replies, Song Chi pressed on, appending:
“The [All Heaven Six Harmonies Reincarnation Array] devours resources at a staggering rate, yet the real problem lies in the heavy drain it inflicts on our mental energies. Should this persist, a single mistake might trigger damages beyond repair!”
“Losing the cities amounts to a small setback; in truth, we've held Huntian, Mountain Splitting, and the other five cities for mere thousands of years, investing sparingly. Instead, over these millennia, we've used those five cities to vastly expand nearby territories, gathering substantial assets. The true crisis stems from the depletion of top-tier fighting forces and the elite Torch Fleet belonging to the civilization in those cities—a outcome we must prevent at all costs.”
At these words, the spiritual senses of Jiang Yuan, Ji Heng, Ying Yi, and Ferdinand swiftly responded in unison.
“Song Chi speaks the truth without question,” Jiang Yuan affirmed, his voice grave.
“Those five cities stand too far apart and possess insufficient might. Amid this overwhelming legendary clash across the Star Realm, they resemble fragile vessels tossed by raging waves, on the verge of overturning anytime. We need to gather our strengths!”
After his declaration, Ji Heng, Ying Yi, and Ferdinand promptly voiced their opinions: “Give up the outer five cities, focus every resource, and safeguard Human Emperor City; under the present situation, this stands as the optimal path.”
With that expressed, Ying Yi, positioned in Human Emperor City, drew a heavy breath, eyeing the boundless energy tempest beyond the walls and the constant fierce undulations on the barrier, then declared with gravity:
“Sending out a withdrawal order poses no trouble. Our supreme access can blanket the whole Torch Network, but ensuring the elite city-guard fleets and assets from the five cities reach Human Emperor City swiftly and securely presents the hurdle. Crossing the disordered battlefield is out of the question; it would merely amplify the casualties.”
“Employ this!” The voice of Emperor Jiang Yuan rang out with unyielding resolve.
“From our clan's stockpiles, multiple reserve dimensional space Strange Objects remain at our disposal. Combined with the [All Heavens Transmission Platform] sourced from Zhu Tian Ruins Market, this suffices to relocate key personnel and supplies in mere moments!”
Once the strategy was locked in, directives from the five rapidly disseminated via the Torch Network to every Torch Ship Captain posted in the five Chaos Cities.
Nevertheless, within the five Chaos Cities pushed to their breaking points, disorder failed to erupt—instead, operations unfolded with remarkable precision and speed.
A venerable altar pulsing with spatial energies was hastily ignited at the heart of each city, its glow encasing vital structures, stored supplies, and Torch Ship Captains alike. At the same time, Song Chi oversaw Zhu Tian Ruins Market, directing the All Heavens Transmission Platform to channel these Torch Ship Captains via the market's pathways, group after group, straight back to Human Emperor City.
“Retreat!”
As the directive echoed, the [All Heavens Transmission Sub-Platforms] buried beneath the five Chaos Cities flared with dazzling brilliance like never before.
The instant after, countless forms and assorted combat resources grew hazy beneath spatial forces, morphing into swift currents that surged along the links forged by the All Heavens Transmission Platforms toward Zhu Tian Ruins Market, finally pooling into the sturdiest core zone—[Human Emperor City].
Without the Torch Fleet's shield, the five Chaos Cities endured just a short while against the devastating fallout of the legendary war, before crumbling one by one, dissolving into the plentiful wreckage scattered across Chaos Divine Land.
Observing how Mountain Splitting, War Soul, and the remaining five Chaos Cities—nurtured over thousands of years—turned to debris stirred deep fury and bitterness in numerous Torch Ship Captains. Every Chaos City yielded immense yearly hauls of superior resources, vital to bolstering the Torch Civilization's core, and now they escaped like homeless strays.
Though rage burned within them, none directed resentment at the civilization's leaders—only frustration at their own lacking prowess. All recognized this as a necessary step to preserve their existence.
Heavenly Ape Star Realm, Human Emperor City.
In Human Emperor City, where nearly every supreme warrior of the Torch Humanity civilization had converged, a never-before-seen level of protection swiftly materialized.
Jiang Yuan’s [Shenxia Jiuli Ship], Ying Yi’s [Immortal Qin Ancestor Dragon], Ferdinand’s [Heavenly Light], Ji Heng’s [Profound Yellow Red Yu], and Song Chi’s [Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong]—five legendary immortal vessels radiating mythical essence—suspended above Human Emperor City in pentagonal formation, their frames surging with immense godly radiance that seamlessly merged with the city's protective barrier.
Even more comforting, Song Chi’s Eleventh Rank mythical servant [Space-Time Nether Brilliance Dragon] had its enormous serpentine body curled overhead, with laws of space-time instinctively interlaced around it, crafting a warped field that softened or redirected assaults from afar.
Added to this, the potent seven-hued fused module [Three Corpses Divine Shrine] allowed Jiang Yuan, Ying Yi, and Ferdinand’s main vessels to invoke Three Corpses Superstate Mecha Giants whenever needed. Backed by two Eleventh Rank mythical combatants and the ultimate Chaos Origin enhancement of Human Emperor City, these layers formed twin impregnable walls capable of daunting any Eleventh Rank mythical being.
