Chapter 1035: Chapter 543: Corpse Dog Assaults the Star-Annihilating Starship
Inside the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, Song Chi’s figure appeared.
It wasn’t until he confird that the [Ti Chessboard] had been completely converted into a warship component, posing no further threat to him, that he returned to the warship.
Reaching out to pick up the [Ti Chessboard], Song Chi hesitated for a mont before deciding to install it onto the warship.
Enhancing this component would require rare resources like ti fragnts, and currently, enhancent was not possible. However, even at lv0 attributes, the [Ti Chessboard] still provided significant boosts to the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong and Song Chi himself.
For instance, its efficiency enhancent for comprehending the Ti Laws.
Aside from this, there was another matter that needed to be dealt with imdiately.
…
Alien Star Domain, unknown Starry Sea.
A vast continent with a diater exceeding two hundred thousand light-years lay in the center, where the Primordial Divine Mountain, shrouded in ancient restrictions, stood like a divine pillar propping up the Vault of Heaven of the Eighth Level Floating Land.
At this mont, a faint silver glow suddenly burst out from deep within the mountain’s body, darting from the mountain outwards toward the distant starry sky.
“Leave it behind!”
This abrupt change provoked an ancient voice echoing from within the mountain’s core.
Soon after, a massive hand exceeding hundreds of thousands of kiloters in length, surrounded by endless intertwining laws, erged from the mountain’s depths, rapidly chasing after the streaking silver light.
The superlative laws of light and power continuously woven together finally ford a Web of Laws that enveloped the silver light entirely.
The silver light itself wasn’t moving quickly, and it was soon caught by the Law Crystal. However, surprisingly, even though the web, imbued with Eighth Rank Dominator Power, had wrapped around the silver light, the silver streak inexplicably passed straight through it as though the astonishing might of the web had no effect.
Witnessing this scene, the owner of the giant, terrifying hand seed to understand sothing. The outstretched hand slowly began to retreat without continuing the pursuit.
Similar occurrences were unfolding across multiple Star Domains of the Starry Sea. So of these silver lights had not yet been discovered, shooting out from remote corners of the starry sea, converging toward the sa destination.
But not all silver streaks successfully entered the starry sky.
On one continent within the starry sea—greater than the one holding the Primordial Divine Mountain—a particular streak of silver light was firmly confined within a Blood Palace, struggling futilely to escape.
In the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong Control Room, Song Chi fixed his gaze firmly on the [Ti Chessboard] before him.
His brows furrowed slightly, as he spoke with a hint of surprise:
“There’s still one chess piece that hasn’t returned?”
He had just activated the recall function of the component. With the [Ti Chessboard] being a Colorful Upper Quality component, he assud recalling all the chess pieces was a guaranteed outco. Yet, unexpectedly, one piece hadn’t been retrieved.
“Could it be that sothing capable of blocking the recall of the [Ti Chessboard] is also a Colorful Upper Quality Starry Sea Oddity?”
Contemplating this, a slight unease surfaced in Song Chi’s heart.
He entertained the notion of reverse tracing the entity in possession of the missing piece. Unfortunately, the [Ti Chessboard] didn’t display the precise location of the piece, only providing a vague directional cue.
Attempting to bind the [Ti Chessboard] to the component [Heavenly Destiny Compass·Disk], Song Chi checked the Territory Star Map for any indicators, but no light points appeared.
“Should I keep it?”
Song Chi hesitated, considering whether he should retain the lone chess piece.
If, as he suspected, the vague directional hint could eventually lead him to another Colorful Mythical Artifact, then pursuing it in the future might prove worthwhile. After all, the current 359 chess pieces were sufficient, and lacking one wouldn’t have a significant impact.
However, after weighing it over for so ti, he decided against keeping the chess piece.
The reason was simple.
First, he couldn’t ascertain whether the entity trapping the chess piece was truly of the sa rank Colorful Oddity. Even if it were, what sort of existence controlled it?
A figure like himself, a Fifth Rank lucky one?
No, Song Chi didn’t think so. The odds were infinitesimal. Instead, he was more inclined to believe it was a figure of the Eighth Rank, Ninth Rank, or even a Peak existence beyond the Ninth Rank.
If this were the case, keeping the chess piece would be tantamount to holding onto a ticking ti bomb. While he could use the [Heavenly Destiny Compass·Disk] to search for [Ti Chessboard], what’s stopping these Peak entities from doing the sa?
Should the entity locate him before he had sufficiently prepared, not even the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong could guarantee his safety—not now as a battleship, nor later upon successfully upgrading to a star-annihilating warship.
Moreover, even if he chose to retain the piece, what if the other entity anticipated his intentions and set an intricate trap, waiting for him to stumble right into it?
Considering all these factors, Song Chi controlled the [Ti Chessboard], shattering the chess piece into pieces.
While this would result in the chess piece taking a year to recover, at the very least it ensured the safety of both the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong and himself.
…
Deep within the Blood Palace on the Red Continent.
Gurgle, gurgle!
Amid blood bubbles sizzling in the pool of blood, a colossal figure embodied with the Power of Chaos opened its blood-red giant eyes. But, soon, the figure shut them again and returned to slumber.
…
Dragon Spine Continent, Green Moon Manor.
Returning once more to the Torch Human Civilization Territory, Song Chi imdiately retrieved the [Shaking Light Star Rank].
Shaking Light Star Rank Chat Group
“32nd mber ‘Waking of Insects’: @all mbers, mission perfectly completed. I’m truly grateful.”
“32nd mber ‘Waking of Insects’: @Bai i, @Corpse Dog, @Yu Long, @Blood Essence… Are you free right now?”
In the [Shaking Light Star Tower], within the Star Tower Great Hall.
“Uncle Corpse Dog, here’s your [Age Book]. Thank you so much.”
“Sister Yu Long…”
Song Chi had long borrowed the [Tri-Eye Solidifying Ring] from the family’s heritage warship room, enabling him to uninstall all borrowed components without any damage. At this mont, he returned all items, and Yu Long handed him the [Blood Spear] in exchange.
Except for the Black Ultimate Quality component [Ti Platform].
It wasn’t that this component couldn’t be uninstalled without damage—the [Tri-Eye Solidifying Ring] had no effect on Black Quality components, but he hadn’t forgotten the [Heavenly Destiny Compass·Disk].
Primarily, “Bai i” hadn’t logged in, seemingly too busy at the mont.
“This ti, you’ve truly helped a lot. Thank you all. If there’s anything you need in the future, just say the word, and I’ll do everything in my power to assist!”
Inside the Great Hall, Song Chi once again expressed his sincere gratitude. Having access to borrowed components of such caliber—silver and gold quality ti artifacts—was rare, and given the opportunity, he intended to repay them fully.
However, Corpse Dog and the others rely waved it off nonchalantly. In the Star Tower, mbers often lent their aid when within their capabilities.
Corpse Dog then spoke up:
“Oh, by the way, after years of preparation, I’ve decided to attempt another breakthrough to a star-annihilating warship. So, for the next while, I likely won’t be active in the group. Just letting you all know in advance.”
Hearing this, the group’s gaze collectively sharpened.
Corpse Dog had previously attempted a breakthrough to the star-annihilating warship. Back then, he sacrificed two golden sanctuary components to keep his flagship intact. This ti, however, that special component wouldn’t be available to him again. If he failed, given his age, he likely wouldn’t have another chance to beco a Zhulu Warship Captain.
Considering this, the mbers couldn’t help but feel a bit heavy-hearted. As Star Tower mbers, they all understood the difficulty of ascending to a star-annihilating warship.
Noticing the somber atmosphere, Corpse Dog was about to break the silence himself when Yu Long interjected:
“Uncle Corpse Dog, do you possess Seventh Rank Dominant Origin Blood for this breakthrough? If not, I can…”
“I have one drop of entry-level Seventh Rank Evil God Blood…”
“A fifty-thousand-year-old [Golden Blood Qilin Fruit]—it can increase the success rate of a Fearless Ship ascending to a star-annihilating warship by 1%.”
Before long, the likes of Heavenly Dragon Blood Essence and others began speaking up, each taking out resources from their collections to support Corpse Dog’s endeavor.
Not everyone was truly selfless. Though the Star Tower mbers shared deep bonds, resources that aided starship ascensions weren’t ordinary items. The reason why they offered such support was not only due to their camaraderie but also the calculated potential rewards of aiding a successful Zhulu Warship Captain in the future.
After a brief hesitation, Song Chi also retrieved a White Jade Fruit from his inventory.
“Uncle Corpse Dog, this is a Sixth Rank [Ti Realm Fruit]. You might find it useful!”
Upon hearing the words [Ti Realm Fruit], not only Corpse Dog but everyone in the Star Tower Great Hall changed their expressions.
This legendary resource that provided a second chance for advancing warships was well-known among them.
“Waking of Insects, you…”
Corpse Dog wanted to say the resource was too precious, but realizing his upcoming breakthrough attempt was nearly upon him, he refrained from speaking further.
Instead, he took the Sixth Rank [Ti Realm Fruit] and solemnly said:
“Waking of Insects, is there anything you need—components, Upgrade Fire Sources, special resources—tell , and I’ll provide!”
Song Chi considered briefly before answering:
“I need special resources like ti fragnts.”
“Ti fragnts? Wait a mont.”
Corpse Dog promptly logged off to begin searching for the requested resource.
Once his figure disappeared from the Great Hall, Yu Long and the others turned their gazes to Song Chi.
Naturally, Song Chi already had his explanation prepared.
“During a previous exploration of the Alien Star Domain, I accidentally discovered a Sixth Rank [Ti Realm Tree]. Unfortunately, the production rate of such resources is exceedingly slow, and I currently don’t have more available!”
Regarding the value of a Sixth Rank [Ti Realm Fruit], Song Chi fully understood. However, his choice to offer it wasn’t a purely altruistic act; he had calculated the benefits.
Most importantly, although Sixth Rank [Ti Realm Fruits] were incredibly precious, once Song Wujiang’s flagship successfully ascended in the future and gained the protection of the Tri-Eyed Royal Dominator Flagship and Starry Sky Dragon Shark, preserving “one single” Sixth Rank [Ti Realm Tree] would be achievable.
