Global Era of Star trekking

Chapter 1227: Chapter 657: Departure_2

"You mean, it can enhance the expansion speed through external factors?"

Bai Mei nodded.

"With the continuous propulsion of just one Superdimensional Mother Ship, the expansion speed of the [Civilization Great Wall] can increase tenfold. However, with the war at a critical juncture, elite combat power is required to hold the lines across the Civilization War front, the rear of the Torch Humanity Galaxy Cluster, the Bottomless Abyss civilization front, and Human Emperor City. We cannot spare the manpower to drive this [Civilization Great Wall] for now..."

Bai Mei’s words revealed quite a bit of information.

Song Chi found himself stirred by these news, which were often beyond the reach of his gaze, and thus piqued his interest even more.

However, after pondering for a moment, he dispelled these thoughts entirely.

Though he couldn’t access these now, it didn’t mean it would be the same in the future. As long as the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong was promoted to a Star-Annihilating Starship, and as long as he entered the rank of Annihilation Starship Captains, these would no longer be problems for him.

The topic shifted, and he asked another question.

"Bai Mei, are you also participating in this Demon Snake Continent operation?"

This wasn’t a random question to change the subject; Song Chi was genuinely puzzled.

Given Bai Mei’s status, even the most precious resources on the Demon Snake Continent should hold little allure for her, making participation unnecessary.

Bai Mei nodded but did not elaborate.

Understanding that she didn’t wish to discuss this, Song Chi refrained from further questions and quickly changed the topic again.

They continued chatting for a while until they heard "Yulong" calling from behind.

All registered Star Tower members were present, and the Star Master had arrived. It was time to depart.

One point of note was that Cui Yulong was not participating in this action. She wasn’t a Captain keen on fighting. Her flagship might have once boasted formidable combat power, but after years as the domestic head of the Changsun Family, an Immortal Giant of the Sheng Tang Dynasty, her fighting prowess was arguably questionable.

This time, she logged into the Star Tower merely to check on the members participating in the Demon Snake Continent mission, and, in addition, for the sake of her precious son, Zhangsun Yu.

Once vigorously cultivated as Sequence One by the Changsun Family, Zhangsun Yu had long become a core member of the family and entered the Fearless Captain ranks decades ago.

Yet, even so, he hadn’t secured a chance to enter the Demon Snake Continent.

The Changsun Family’s robust foundations, with a legacy stretching tens of thousands of years and a Star River Ship at their command, despite originating from the Sheng Tang Dynasty.

As mentioned earlier, participation in the Demon Snake Continent operation was reserved only for forces within the Four Great Divine Dynasties and a few true titan forces from the Torch Civilization River System.

For instance, the [Big Dipper Seven Stars Hall], established over 200,000 years ago, though lacking a Superdimensional Mother Ship of Heavenly Pillar Level combat power, boasted more than a handful of Star River Ships, with even an Extreme Star River Ship present.

Only forces of such rank could attract the attention of the four Torch Empires.

"Don’t worry, leave it to me!"

At the hall entrance, Corpse Dog nodded.

As the newly appointed Annihilation Starship Captain of the Shaking Light Star Tower, he could naturally bring along some personnel—a fact tacitly understood by the upper echelons of the Beidou Main Hall.

Seeing Corpse Dog agree, Yulong’s gaze turned to Song Chi and Bai Mei, who had recently entered the hall.

"Waking of Insects, Bai Mei, if you have the capacity, please look after... more often for your sister."

Song Chi and Bai Mei agreed without further thought, nodding directly.

Not only the three of them, but all the members who heard Yulong’s request agreed.

Known as the confidante in the group, Yulong had often used the Changsun Family’s influence to provide various aids, so naturally, no one would outright refuse at this moment.

As long as they were within their means, it wasn’t asking too much, was it?

"All members, please prepare your flagships now!"

Suspended mid-air above the Star Tower Great Hall, the Shaking Light Star Master’s voice silenced the discussions within the hall.

The members hesitated not; with Ghost Light shining from their foreheads, miniaturized warships flew out from the Ancestral Torch of each member.

Song Chi followed suit with the others without any concern about space constraints within the Star Tower itself.

During the earlier [Blood Battle Secret Realm Task], he noticed that the Beidou Seven Stars Main Hall possessed a feature of automatic volume reduction, and as a derivative of the [Big Dipper Seven Stars Hall], he had no doubt that the [Shaking Light Star Tower] shared this feature.

As the light flickered, Torch Warships—which shrank innumerable times—appeared above the Star Tower Great Hall, occupying minimal space.

Subsequently, Star Tower members began boarding their flagships. They were to use that rarely activated Star Platform in the corner of the Star Tower Great Hall.

This platform, named [Star Palace Transfer Platform], served as a direct teleportation channel between the Beidou Seven Towers and the Beidou Main Hall.

Its infrequent use stems from its high transmission consumption and prolonged cooldown time. If it wasn’t something significant, the [Big Dipper Seven Stars Hall] generally relied on Star-Annihilating Starships for travel rather than activating this [Star Palace Transfer Platform].

Swish, swish, swish!

As the Spectral Energy within their bodies was mobilized, Song Chi, Bai Mei, and others prepared to board their ships.

At that moment, Yulong called out to them.

"Uncle Corpse Dog, Waking of Insects, Bai Mei, this is a communication sub-component for Little Yu’s flagship. With it, you can communicate from afar within the Demon Snake Floating Land."

They didn’t question this, easily grasping the underlying reason.

It was simply Cui Yulong worrying that her beloved son might be too shy to initiate communication exchanges with them, so she arranged it herself.

Ultimately, it was just a mother’s selfless love.

The [Star Palace Transfer Platform] seemed to be influenced by an additional layer of Spatial Power. As the Torch Warships, already significantly reduced in size, entered above the transmission platform, their volumes further diminished until all twenty-plus warships fit into the platform.

Under the watch of the Shaking Light Star Master, Yulong, and several Fourth Rank Star Tower members, more than twenty Torch Warships, each at least a Battleship, were soon enveloped in starlight. When the starlight reached a certain intensity, a starry beam shot skyward, visible even tens of thousands of light-years away in all its outlined glory.

At the border of the Northern Star Domain of the Xian Qin Divine Dynasty, the assembly area of the main force fleet centuries ago.

Above this section of the [Civilization Great Wall], stood a majestic temple, shrouded in boundless starlight, embraced by seven similarly extraordinary Star Towers, adding an air of mystery to this Star Light Temple.

At this moment, a disturbance arose in one of the seven Star Towers as a beam of light shot from the distant starry sky, eventually descending into this Star Tower.

Not far on the Civilization Great Wall, Torch Warships patrolled above the wall, serving as the reserve fleet of the Divine Dynasty.

"This must be the fifth beam, right? What is happening with [Big Dipper Seven Stars Hall]? Could there be a major move at the front line?"

"Don’t speculate wildly. Such a level of force is beyond our relations. If anything happens, the fleet commander will communicate on it!"

"I’ve heard that [Big Dipper Seven Stars Hall] is one of the top forces within our Torch Human Civilization. They have extremely stringent recruitment, and every member is the crème de la crème of our civilization. I wonder how it compares to the [Fire Rose] in our fleet?"

"Ha, your sight is limited. What are we? The Reserve Fleet. Do you know what a Reserve Fleet is? Not even part of the regular army. That [Fire Rose] is a genius within our fleet, but ordinary in the main fleet. How could you compare them to the top talents selected from billions of Torch Captains?"
