Global Era of Star trekking

Chapter 1720: Chapter 839: [Origin Star]

Yin Sha River System, Dead Di Star Domain, Bone Floating Land.

A Third Level Life Floating Land stretched endlessly in the pitch-black void of space. On its surface, hundreds of thousands of various Torch Warships and ordinary starships were taking off and landing like a swarm of bees working in harmony, filled with beautiful hopes for the future.

In the northern part of the floating land, above a plain where the Corpse Evil aura was more concentrated, a fleet that had just circled the entire plain once returned. As it reached its temporary base, a voice quickly came from the lead Escort Ship in the fleet.

"Elder Seventh, it’s no good. The concentration of Corpse Evil aura on the Beilin Plain is still a bit beyond expectation. I need to lead the team for another round. Please replenish the neutralizer as soon as possible."

"Okay, right away!"

A dozen minutes later, everything was replenished, and over twenty warships roared their engines, beginning to slowly ascend into the air.

"Third Brother, be careful. Although this floating land has been cleared by the primary civilization fleet, there could still be stragglers."

"No worries, I understand. Thanks to the great favor of the Dragon Spine Royal Family, we were allotted a Third Level Life Floating Land and several resource-type floating lands as our clan’s territory. This is the greatest opportunity in our family’s three-hundred-year history. I still want to preserve my life to continue making contributions for our family."

With that, the fleet had already soared into the sky, quickly disappearing into the distant horizon.

Listening to these lingering words, the man referred to as Elder Seventh grinned as well.

Indeed, it was a rare opportunity for their Huang family in centuries.

Founding the family three hundred years ago might sound significant, but to outsiders, it seemed like a joke.

In this grand Interstellar Era, three hundred years is but a blink of an eye, and the lifespan of a Second Rank Escort Captain can reach that long.

Speaking of which, the Huang family was initially founded by their father, a regular low-ranking captain who fought all along with the Torch army. It’s now only the second generation.

It was thanks to their father, who had many sons, seven of whom successfully awakened the Seed of Torch. Over two hundred years, the ever-increasing number of brothers and their descendants who hadn’t awakened gradually formed the semblance of a family.

Originally, for a family like theirs, which was one of the most ordinary existences within the Torch Human Civilization, it would be very difficult to pass down for five generations. But the Huang family was different—they encountered a great era, a period of rapid expansion and strengthening of the Torch Civilization, coupled with the support from above by the Dragon Spine Royal Family—the Song family, a new emerging super-gate of the Torch Civilization—granting them citizens who originally belonged to the Dragon Spine Kingdom far more extraordinary opportunities.

His thoughts racing, the man suddenly muttered to himself:

"But Third Brother got one thing wrong; it should no longer be called the Dragon Spine Royal Family, but the Heavenly Pillar Song Clan."

This nearly inaudible murmur piqued the great interest of a young man behind him.

"The Heavenly Pillar Song Clan, Seventh Uncle, is that what you think too?"

This sudden interjection startled the man, and he sighed with relief when he turned around and saw it was his older sixth brother’s son.

"Seventh Uncle, Brother Lie and the others often discuss these things, including the rumors outside, all saying the Dragon Spine Song Family will soon establish the Fifth Torch Empire. The Four Great Empires have all tacitly agreed, and the Dragon Spine Song Family is soon to become the Heavenly Pillar Song Clan."

"There is no definitive conclusion, do not spread such rumors!"

The man sternly reprimanded, making the young man behind him shrink back slightly.

Even though he indeed shared the same thoughts in his heart—the Dragon Spine Song Family now directly controlled more than a hundred River Systems, and the Four Great Empires had never intervened—this had never been seen in the Torch Civilization’s thirty-thousand-year history of development.

But regardless of any speculation in his heart, as long as the Dragon Spine Song Family had not yet publicly established the Torch Empire, these could only be rumors. If someone were to publicize them publicly and the Four Great Empires’ stance changed, everything could turn into a weapon against them.

...

Corpse Ghost Continent, temporary base of the Song family.

"Yiming, how is the subordinate immigration development going?"

"Uncle Chi, thanks to nearly a century of continuous family effort and with the assistance of two Space Wormhole Generators, the Corpse Emperor Clan River System Group completely under our Song family’s command, numerous citizens have migrated into the ninety River Systems, with the largest exceeding ten billion and the slowest progress still over three billion."

Upon hearing this, although knowing this progress was quite good, Song Chi remained unsatisfied.

Whether it was ten billion or three billion, compared to a vast River System, these were still too few.

A typical River System would normally need to accommodate hundreds of billions of Torch citizens, and the number in many resource-rich River Systems could be counted in trillions.

It’s important to note that the larger the population base of Torch citizens in a River System, the more Torch Ship Captains that can be born, and the number of Torch Ship Captains determines the speed of "Torch Fortune" generation in a River System. Therefore, how could Song Chi not be concerned?

These would be critical factors in his future endeavors to break through to the Mythical Immortal Ship.

Because of this, the family had mobilized its five existing Explorer-class Deep Space Carriers, including two newly constructed ones over the last millennium. All seven Explorer-class Deep Space Carriers were now fully supporting the "Interstellar Migration" operation.

It’s not just the Song family; the Four Great Empires, hundreds of kingdoms, and various major factions are now busy with relocating populations to the Corpse Emperor Clan River System Group, laying the foundation for the immense value of developing such a vast River System Group.
