Global Era of Star trekking

Chapter 1698: Chapter 829: [Torch 5 Empire]_3

"Song Chi, if this truly succeeds, you will gain the greatest merit. Have you already thought about what reward you wish for?"

...

Song Chi did not conceal anything, directly stating the demands he had long planned.

"Fill the faith territories of three hundred river systems, then..."

Jiang Yuan and the other four exchanged glances, ultimately nodding in agreement to this demand.

Currently, Song Chi’s faith river systems already numbered over eighty, meaning an additional two hundred ten needed to be added.

The Corpse Emperor Clan River System Group had close to eight hundred river systems under its control, even subtracting these, each of them could still be apportioned more than one hundred thirty.

But Song Chi’s demands were not yet complete.

"Aside from that, in the upcoming war, my Song Family needs to independently open up a route, and if we ultimately can claim territory of over one hundred river systems, Dragon Spine Dynasty must grant the authority to independently establish the Torch Fifth Empire!"

The first demand was actually manageable, but the second one, however, made Jiang Yuan and the others somewhat uneasy.

"Song Chi, it’s not that we disagree, but even if, after the war, your Dragon Spine Song Family really occupies territory of over one hundred river systems, establishing the Torch Fifth Empire isn’t easily achievable."

"Without sufficient prestige, the Ninth Rank Immortal Giant Forces there will be the first to object."

Song Chi was clearly aware of this point; his request was obviously well-considered.

"Your Majesty Jiang Yuan, I understand this matter. Rest assured, all I ask for is the authority to establish the Fifth Empire, not to actually proceed with it. At least until we have the strength to suppress all dissenting voices, I will not act rashly!"

With this assurance, Jiang Yuan and the others naturally had no further objections, all agreeing.

...

Dragon Spine Dynasty, Dragon Spine Continent.

Deep within the Dragon Whale Hall.

"Little Chi, these are all the Alien Race’s Pride acquired through bounties in the past century."

Receiving the Dimension Space Stone handed over by Song Wujiang, Song Chi used his spiritual senses to perceive it. After confirming that there were dozens of figures within the dimension space inside the space stone, he nodded with a smile, his eyes full of undisguised satisfaction.

But just as Song Wujiang was about to leave, Song Chi suddenly spoke again.

"Ancestor, there’s another important matter, the Human Emperors have already decided that, three hundred years from now, a full-scale war against the Corpse Emperor Clan River System Group will commence."

"Finally going to deal with the Corpse Emperor Clan? That’s a good thing!"

Song Wujiang was delighted, fully aware of the family’s current strength. Once the war started, they would undoubtedly carve out a substantial piece of territory from the Corpse Emperor Clan River System Group.

But he had clearly misunderstood Song Chi’s intent.

"No, what I mean is, from today onwards, fully open the family treasury, offer all resources at half price to all clan members, moreover, lift all limits on clan population. Over the next three hundred years, do everything possible to expand the family population and enhance the strength of awakened family members!"

"Fully open the family treasury, lift population limits... Little Chi, are you trying to..."

Facing Song Wujiang’s instinctive inquiry, Song Chi offered little explanation.

He believed the ancestor wouldn’t take long to understand everything.

Soon enough, Song Wujiang realized it entirely, his eyes gleamed: "You intend... to strive for establishing the Fifth Empire post-war?"

Song Chi nodded slightly as a star chart projection appeared at his fingertips:

"The Corpse Emperor Clan River System Group holds a total of 782 river systems. According to the agreement with the four Human Emperors, we must seize at least 100. But given the current scale of the family, we simply cannot manage such extensive territory."

The projection suddenly illuminated hundreds of light points, forming a giant dragon pattern stretching across the starry sky.

"So we need more clan members, more warships." Song Wujiang breathed heavily, "but three hundred years is too short. Even with full efforts, it’s..."

Song Chi gently waved his hand.

"No, relying on just us is certainly not enough. With a heritage merely lasting ten thousand years, our foundation is too shallow. Soon, I will proactively reach out to the Big Dipper Seven Stars Hall; as long as we can persuade this super giant with their heritage of over two hundred thousand years, combined with the power of the Dragon Spine Dynasty, we will fill the fleet gap!"

Seeing that Song Chi already had a detailed plan in mind, Song Wujiang’s worries faded away, leaving only excitement.

"Great, I’ll arrange matters immediately. Little Chi, focus on preparing other affairs. As for everything within the Dragon Spine Dynasty, you won’t need to concern yourself!"
