Global Era of Star trekking

Chapter 1412: Chapter 729: Merit Exchange and Dimensional Strike (Part 3)

Following the tunnel of the sky pit, three Fearless Ships charged out of the underground and headed directly to the Truth Floating Land after leaving the Ore Star Continent.

"In just over twenty days, the Eight-Armed Snake Demon clan will officially begin their migration. During this last period, let’s extract a trace of the Origin Core from the Truth Floating Land!"

"Alright!"

"It’s a pity that the [Original Core Stealer] is only of Gold quality, making it difficult to effectively steal from the Origin Core of the Truth Floating Land!"

In the main control room of the [Northern Star River] starship, Song Bei shook his head and sighed quietly.

At this moment, an elderly voice rang out:

"Young Bei, you’re mistaken here. The key isn’t the quality of the [Original Core Stealer], but the time."

"Teacher, what do you mean?"

"Wasn’t there an announcement within your Song Family earlier? That [Mechanical Master] Strange Object, stripped from the Truth Floating Land’s Origin Core, had been traded to the [Immortal Qin Heavy Industry Group]. Not long after, news of the [Azure Dragon Starry Sky Array Map]’s quality evolution spread. What was the first thing that came to your mind when you heard this?"

Song Bei raised his eyebrows, responding without hesitation:

"Ninth Rank [Golden Apple]!"

"That’s right, the ninth rank Golden Apple. As I know, over 100,000 years ago, the [Immortal Qin Heavy Industry Group] and the [Big Dipper Seven Stars Hall] jointly controlled a Cosmic Secret Realm. The most valuable thing within that realm was a [Golden Apple Mother Tree]. Over the past 100,000 years, these two giant forces have certainly accumulated a considerable number of [Golden Apples]. If your family’s ancestors could trade for one ninth rank [Golden Apple], why not two or even three?"

"Given the [Immortal Qin Heavy Industry Group]’s regard for that [Mechanical Master], as long as it’s not too excessive, they would never refuse your demands. Yet, until now, this [Original Core Stealer] component still remains a Gold component. Don’t you understand yet?"

"Teacher, you mean that even if this [Original Core Stealer] evolved to Black Quality, several years wouldn’t be enough for us to steal the Origin Core of the Truth Floating Land?"

"Yes, even achieving one-tenth isn’t feasible. For a Ninth Level Floating Land, even deploying a Star-Annihilating Starship to extract a part of the Origin Core requires tens of years!"

After listening to this, Song Bei nodded lightly.

Though he didn’t have a clear understanding of these things, he had a great deal of trust in his teacher.

Despite only being an Ultimate Fearless Captain in his lifetime, his teacher came from a notable background. He was a direct lineage member of a giant force within the Immortal Qin Dynasty, and his insight far exceeded Song Bei’s.

"Young Bei, you don’t need to participate in the subsequent war against the Star Sea Giant Ape Civilization anymore. After a thousand years of civilization war, the [Northern Star River] is now halfway into Ultimate Fearless Ship status. It’s time to explore the civilization relic I mentioned to you earlier.

According to my estimation, after my previous exploration, the danger level of that civilization relic has significantly decreased. Completing the subsequent explorations should provide enough benefits to help you advance to Annihilation Starship Captain!"

Song Bei didn’t reply immediately, a trace of hesitation in his eyes.

After contemplating for a few seconds, he spoke softly:

"Teacher, should we report this to the family? With the assistance of some ancestors, the danger would be much lower!"

The aged voice, seemingly unsurprised by Song Bei’s words, neither opposed nor explicitly agreed, ultimately leaving the decision up to Song Bei.

"Whatever choice you make, it’s up to you!"

"The Starry Sea is full of killings and treasure snatching, countless instances of forceful seizure, but I’ve seen the Song Family’s ethos. If you’re not worried about the few Annihilation Starship Captains in the family seizing the benefits from the relic, then report it."

With the aged voice finished, a glint flickered in Song Bei’s eyes. After nearly two minutes of contemplation, he declared firmly:

"Let’s report it!"

"Decided?"

"Yes!"

...

More than twenty days later, above the Truth Floating Land Firmament, a strong spatial fluctuation emerged, followed by the gradual convergence of a spatial vortex.

This spatial vortex had an astonishing diameter, expanding to tens of thousands of kilometers without stopping.

Finally, the spatial vortex’s diameter was fixed at three million kilometers.

Once the spatial vortex tunnel stabilized, countless Eight-Armed Snake Demons began to charge forth from the tunnel, dispersing throughout the Truth Floating Land upon arrival, carefully exploring the Ninth Level Floating Land that would become their new ancestral ground for a long time.

Among these Eight-Armed Snake Demons, some held special space-type Strange Objects. Once activated, a large number of Low Rank Snake Demons were summoned, curiously observing everything around them.

This migration naturally included not only High Rank Snake Demons but, more importantly, Low-Middle Rank Eight-Armed Snake Demons. Protected by the [Blood Furnace], they managed to survive when the Eight-Armed Demon God forcibly extracted their bloodline. They are the key to the future development and growth of the Eight-Armed Snake Demon Civilization.

For a civilization, while the strength of individuals is significant, the vital factor is the number of the population. The larger the base number of individuals, the greater the wealth and value they create, and the higher the likelihood of High Rank individuals emerging.

"All Seventh Rank and above clansmen, listen up, conduct a preliminary search of the entire Floating Land and eliminate any Mechanical Race stragglers!"

"Sixth Rank and below clansmen are tasked with constructing temporary settlements. Ensure the creation of accommodations for over a trillion clansmen in the shortest possible time!"
