Global Era of Star trekking

Chapter 1498: Chapter 760: The Effect of the Time Source Crystal

Time acceleration.

And it’s time acceleration for a Starry Sea Oddity.

To put it simply, this [Time Source Crystal] is more like a consumable resource for reducing cooldown time.

With just a tiny sliver, it can autonomously accelerate a specific effect of a Starry Sea Oddity that has fallen into cooldown according to the user’s desires.

For instance, take the [Heaven-Swallowing Python Shedding] that’s fused within the Floating Land Origin Core of Dragon Spine Continent, its {Mythical Shedding} effect was previously used to elevate the [Heavenly Authority Control Ring], and there are still two thousand three hundred years to go before it cools down again.

Whether it’s for the Song Family, which has only been established for a little over five thousand years, or for Song Chi himself, this is evidently an overly long time.

The key point is, although the [Time Chess Board] and the [Purusa Zen Seal] both have cooldown acceleration effects, they’re based on the conversion of the Torch Ship Body, and once converted to shipborne components, they can’t affect strange objects of different entities. This is the unsolvable point.

These difficulties can be naturally resolved if this piece of [Time Source Crystal] before him could be secured.

According to Song Chi’s knowledge, the effect of this [Time Source Crystal] is excellent; every gram can ignore differences in the quality of strange objects, reducing the cooldown time of a specified effect/feature by a standard year, whether it’s ordinary Starry Sea Oddity or shipborne component forms.

The [Time Source Crystal] in this wooden box before him weighs at least over two kilograms, making its value astounding.

In an instant, thousands of thoughts flashed through Song Chi’s mind. Before he could speak, the man respectfully half-kneeling before him continued:

"Sir, this item was obtained by this humble one a hundred years ago in the starry sky. Although I don’t know what kind of mineral it really is, it was discovered unexpectedly within the skeletal remains of a giant Starry Sky Behemoth at that time.

I don’t know how many ages it has endured, but even the corpse of a Domination Level Starry Sky Behemoth has turned into bones, yet it still shines brightly. Therefore, I determined its value must be extraordinary, and today, I am willing to offer this item to you, Sir!"

The man’s words were resolute. Upon hearing this, most of the captains who couldn’t recognize the item didn’t feel much, but the other Annihilation Starship Captains halting with Song Chi had flickering eyes, feeling greatly tempted.

A piece of [Time Source Core] of this weight, when calculated, its value is certainly not lower than a piece of Black Supreme Components, and if there’re any special components at hand, its value could soar even further, potentially comparable to Colorful Components.

Faced with such temptation, even when intimidated by Song Chi’s identity as the [Qiong Yu King], some captains were getting restless.

Fully aware of the value, Song Chi wouldn’t offer the Annihilation Starship Captains behind him any chance, and soon said:

"This item is called [Time Source Crystal], a rare resource ranked among super-strategic level resources, extremely valuable. Are you sure you want to offer it to me?"

A bland voice sounded, while a flash of space to Song Chi’s side revealed a blood-red figure about two meters tall appearing out of thin air.

Although this figure wasn’t much taller than Song Chi, upon its appearance, the Annihilation Starship Captains behind Song Chi, who were a bit agitated, suddenly had their pupils constricted, and words they were about to utter were stuck in their throats, the scene falling into silence.

"The rumor that the Ninth Rank Asura Emperor exists is actually true!"

"A Ninth Rank enslaved creature, how could an Immortal Clan with only a few thousand years of heritage pull this off? Or is it really crafted by this [Qiong Yu King] alone?"

"Impossible. As far as I know, even with Colorful Mythical Quality Enslavement Components, they need to be enhanced to lv100 to attempt enslaving a Ninth Rank Dominator, which a Star-Annihilating Starship can’t fulfill the basic conditions for..."

"Unless, it’s a ’Great Rank increase of Enslavement Authority’ type of divine-level enslavement feature!"

"Could it be an additional reward granted by the Four Great Human Emperors from that huge contribution during the previous civil war?"

"That’s also not right. Regarding that contribution, the Four Great Human Emperors have already awarded five super rewards face-to-face."

...

In a short time, numerous conjectures arose in the minds of nearly a hundred Annihilation Starship Captains present.

Most felt incredible, while a small part speculated whether it involved the Four Great Human Emperors of the Torch.

However, regardless of what they guessed, Song Chi clearly wasn’t going to explain himself; his gaze remained fixed on the middle-aged man before him.

"Sir, I am certain!"

"Good!"

Hearing the man’s resolute response once again, a smile flitted across Song Chi’s eyes.

Through certain means, he had already identified the person standing before him.

Originating from the local humans of the Pegasus Continent, naturally born on a lower level than Torch City’s ship captains, yet decades ago, this individual still managed to enter the ranks of grassroots officers in the Torch City Patrol Team, indicating that his capabilities were undoubted.

Even knowing that 95% of even the grassroots officers have always been captains originating from the Inheritance Domain, the ability to infiltrate this echelon as a local Pegasus Continent captain, besides necessary personal warships, relationships and giving-and-take decisions were indispensable.

Regardless, just his current decisive decision was enough to prove this point.

In such turbulent situations, hesitating would only increase resentment without gaining anything more, and decisively choosing himself showed, for whatever other reasons, at least this individual had piqued his interest.
