National Star Sea Era...

Chapter 545: All-out War against the Eight-armed Snake Demon Civilization
This is naturally the most important point. Song Chi never thought that his identity could be kept secret forever.

But it only goes up to the sixth level [Time Realm Tree]. As for the seventh level [Time Realm Tree]? This must not be exposed even if you kill me.

Something that can assist a star destroyer in reaching level eight and give it a second life cannot be described as a strategic-level resource. Once exposed, the immortal giants of level eight and even the royal families of the Four Pillars of the Flame will be jealous.

In addition to this, referring to the current situation of the Song family, the sixth-level [Time Realm Fruit], let alone now, even in the next few hundred years, there will be no other warships that can be used except the [Dinghai Longxiang], and the ancestor Song Wujiang already has one.

Rather than letting it gather dust in your hands, it is obviously a better choice to trade it with Star Tower members in exchange for rare resources or high-end components.

Finally, after more than a hundred years of continuous acceleration, the sixth-order [Time Realm Tree] in the secret realm has not only produced one round, but the second round has also produced fruit. It won’t be long before he gets another sixth-order [Time Realm Fruit].

In short, when it is the Tianxu Cangqiong's turn to attack the star destroyer, it will definitely not be short of the sixth-level [Time Realm Fruit].

Apart from his side, the [Secret Realm of the Time Tree] is also about to reap the harvest thanks to the continuous investment of Void Crystals from both families.

……

After saying this, Song Chi said nothing more, and the people around him did not continue to ask more questions. However, how much they believed in their hearts and what they thought, only they themselves knew.

Song Chi could roughly guess something, but he didn't care. Wasn't this originally part of his plan?

Only in this way, will there be members of the Star Tower who will come to him privately to trade with the real good things in their hands, right?

Ten minutes later, the corpse dog logged in again.

"Jingzhe, these are sixty-eight time fragments. This is all we can get at the moment. Take them first."

He handed a storage box to Song Chi and added:

"This is definitely not enough to trade for your sixth-level [Time Realm Fruit]. How about this? Once I succeed in getting promoted, I can help you three times for free. Even if I fail to get promoted, I will continue to help you collect resources such as time fragments."

Of course Song Chi would not refuse.

The Star Destroyer captain had three free opportunities to make a move, which was already beyond his expectations.

Although the relationship between the members of the Star Tower is good, not every help is free. For example, when Song Chi helped Cui Yulong, he used two resources, black hole dense stone and escape stone, as reward.

After talking with the corpse dog, Song Chi turned his gaze to Tianlong, Yulong and others beside him. Without any embarrassment, he directly asked them if they had resources such as "time fragments".

Time fragments, as one of the special time resources, are the same as space fragments. In addition to being produced in certain star fields with extremely rich time energy, they are also specialty resources in a very small number of secret realms where the law of time exists.

In addition to these two stable production methods, the collapse of the secret realm that possesses the law of time will also produce time fragments.

But no matter which of the above three, it is extremely difficult. Song Chi has asked the ancestor before. Although there are certain reserves of time fragments in his own secret vault, they were all discovered accidentally by the family members during the exploration of the star field in the past three thousand years. The family currently has no means to stably produce time fragments.

After saying that, Song Chi took out resources such as [Silver Apple], [Law Fruit], and [Ten Thousand Year Dragon Blood Fruit] one after another. With the help of these resources of decent value, he successfully traded a lot of time fragments from a group of Star Tower members.

Finally, he spent a lot of mall points and exchanged some time fragments in the Star Tower Mall. Together with what he had accumulated in the family secret library, it was just enough to strengthen the [Time Chessboard] component to the seventh level.

In Zhutian Market, Song Chi held the time fragments obtained from various channels in his hands and began to strengthen the components of the [Time Chessboard].

【是否花费200缕零阶浮陆本源+20000幽能点+5枚时间碎片，将时光棋盘从lv0强化到lv1？】

"Sure!"

With the consumption of resources such as floating land origin, time fragments and titanium crystals like water, [Time Chessboard] was successfully strengthened to level 70 by Song Chi.

“Phew, just right!”

Looking at the three time fragments left in his hand, Song Chi thought that he was lucky.

Although future enhancements will be a headache, at least it has now been enhanced to the upper limit of the level that a battleship can be enhanced to.

Looking at the properties of the seventh-order [Time Chessboard] components, it can be said that a drastic change has taken place.

General cooldown reduction from 35% to 70%
Time resistance from 1600 → 21000
Time Law Perception Blessing from 230% → 440%
In addition, the duration and time speed of the "Time·Chessboard" feature have also been greatly improved. Even if the chessboard field is constructed with a minimum of 36 time chess pieces, the speed has been increased from 10 times to 45 times, and 72 pieces have reached 90 times. Similarly, the duration has been increased from the original 10 minutes to 45 minutes, and the cooling time has been reduced to 240 hours.

The "Time·Chess Game" feature reduces the cooldown time from 100 years to 65 years, and increases the duration to three hours.

However, "Time Cage" and "Nine Lives Chess" have not changed, and are suspected to be constant characteristics.

……

Star Tower Hall.

"Thanks!"

Song Chi handed the black, top-quality [Time Platform] component back to Baimei and expressed his gratitude.

A black time-related component. How can I not be grateful?
If he were to be honest, if he had been asked to lend out the [Black Hole Evolution Layer] components before this, Song Chi thought it would have been difficult to do so.

It has nothing to do with being stingy or not. The truth is that it is difficult to measure the value of components of this level. Even with the Zhutian Market, there are only three black components on the Tianxu Cangqiong. It is really difficult for him to lend one out casually.

But after this, his mentality may change.

The two of them talked for a while before Song Chi stepped towards the Star Tower mission window.

However, Song Chi soon discovered that Baimei did not leave, but walked towards the task window with him.

"Bai Mei, are you also accepting a mission?"

"Ok!"

The response behind him was still plain and concise.

Song Chi, who had long been accustomed to it, did not care and continued:
"A secret exploration mission?"

It can only be said that it was a coincidence that not long after, Song Chi and Bai Mei successively accepted the secret realm exploration mission that had been announced decades ago.

Over such a long period of time, the information of this mission has been updated many times.

As early as twenty years ago, the discovered cosmic secret realm was named the [Blood Battle Secret Realm]. Although it is the lowest level of cosmic secret realm, there are also eighth-level Blood Battle Clan natives in this secret realm, and there are nearly ten seventh-level Blood Battle Overlords. The degree of danger of the secret realm can be seen.

The reason why this secret realm mission is still hanging on the Star Tower is because although the [Bloody Battle Secret Realm] is dangerous, it is also extremely valuable.

After such a long period of exploration, it has been determined that the most valuable resource produced in this secret realm is a special artifact called the [Blood Battle Monument]. The [Blood Battle Monument] itself can not only be transformed into shipborne components, but is also a rare control-free component.

Its function is similar to that of the [Behemoth Heart] on the Tianxu Cangqiong, which can obtain the ability to be immune to control. Moreover, unlike the "Behemoth Tyrant Body" of the [Behemoth Heart], the immune control ability of this [Blood War Monument] is a permanent effect, which can be effective without activation. This is not the most important thing. The key is that according to the information provided by the previous explorers, this [Blood War Secret Realm] breeds silver-quality and even gold-quality [Blood War Monument] wonders.

Song Chi was naturally very interested in this [Bloody Battle Monument].

He had been in a hurry to get the [Time Chessboard] before, so he had not accepted the task. Now that the [Time Chessboard] is in his hands, he chose to accept this task as soon as possible.

The quality of the [Heart of Behemoth] components is still too low after all. Song Chi has long wanted to get another high-quality control-free component, and now is the best opportunity.

After the two people accepted the tasks one after another, the prompt sound of Star Tower Intelligence sounded.

[The mission has been accepted. Please wait patiently. The main hall's escort warship will arrive on time in half a year! ]

"See you in half a year."

"Ah."

……

Buzz!
In the Zhutian Market, at the entrance of the market, accompanied by violent spatial fluctuations, hundreds of vortex channels slowly condensed.

A new round of market transactions has officially begun.

As the first market transaction after being promoted to level six, Song Chi made certain adjustments this time.

Time passed, and after just a few minutes, a space portal was triggered.

After a while, a creature holding a large mace and with vigilance in his eyes walked out of one of the space portals.

This creature has a dog's head and a human body, and the life fluctuations it emanates are not high.

"Kobold?"

After a casual glance, Song Chi immediately lost interest.

Creatures like dog-headed people are considered the lowest race in the starry sea. Although their numbers are terrifying, their upper limit is too low.

The second-level dog-headed man walked carefully to the gate of the market, and his tiny eyes involuntarily fell on the regular light curtain on the side of the gate.

When he saw the most eye-catching sentence in the subtitles engraved entirely with the power of laws, his tiny eyes suddenly widened to the extreme.

"Eighth...Eighth level...Golden Holy Land rare item!"

As if he heard its stuttering mumbling, the goblin Luke, who was wandering inside the market, immediately ran out as fast as he could.

"Where...where is the eighth level, where is the golden holy land wonder?"

Following the line of sight of the dog-headed man who was only a little taller than him, Luke, who seemed to have two fangs in his mouth, saw the text of the rule listed at the top of the rule light curtain.

Today, the exchange price of [Market Projection Order] has been comprehensively changed. In the future, six silver artifacts will be needed to exchange for one [Market Projection Order]. Correspondingly, the validity period of [Market Projection Order] will be increased to one hundred years after exchange.

In addition, if it is exchanged with a golden sanctuary treasure, only one item is needed to obtain the 500-year validity period of the [Market Projection Order], and the exchanger will have five opportunities to summon the Market Projection during these 500 years.

Note: The market projection has an eighth-level combat power.

After reading this new information, Luke's good mood, which was caused by his successful transformation into a vampire and a lifespan several times longer than before, suddenly became boring.

Level eight, a golden star sea wonder. Compared to these two, what is its two thousand years of lifespan?
As it thought about it, traces of fourth-order magic power began to emerge around its short legs, carrying its small body towards the inn.

Over the past few hundred years, the Viscount Thor's Mansion behind it has been exploring the starry sky outside the Silver Continent with all its might. With the help of a large number of sophisticated machines, the scope of exploration has far exceeded imagination. During this period, in addition to the discovery of the fifth-level starry sky plant [Canghai Flower], there were naturally a lot of other gains.

Among them, there is a star sea wonder of golden holy quality.

Since obtaining this golden holy treasure, the ancestors of Viscount Thor have tried their best to develop its effects, but unfortunately, after a hundred years, they still have nothing to show for it.

Finally, the ancestors of the Viscount's Mansion unanimously agreed that this golden sacred object was a special material and had no effect on them.

However, the golden object was too complicated, so complicated that the old antiques in Viscount Thor's mansion had never agreed to Luke's proposal to bring it to the market to try to trade it.

“I must convince the ancestors this time!!”

As he flew along, Luke secretly swore in his heart, and he was even too excited that there was a faint blood color flowing in his eyes.

Luke was not the only one to react like this. In the following period, many regular customers of the market responded in the same way.

Song Chi captured these scenes clearly from a God's perspective, and a look of satisfaction emerged in his eyes.

At first glance, his adjustments are apparently working well.

As for why there was such an adjustment?

The market projection has been upgraded from the seventh level to the quasi-eighth level, which can be regarded as a qualitative change. The exchange price cannot remain unchanged, right?

After careful consideration, he finally changed the exchange price of the [Market Projection Order].

This would screen out a large number of aliens again, and he was very clear about this. After all, taking out two silver artifacts and six silver artifacts at one time were completely different concepts.

However, Song Chi did not regret it. To him now, the golden holy land's treasures were more attractive.

He believed that the fact that there were five opportunities to attack in 500 years would attract the attention of certain alien races.

For example, the night elves, the fifth-level half-ratmen, and the wizard civilization, etc.

This change was just to pave the way for the future, so until the transaction was completed, no aliens actually came to inquire about this matter.

It’s not surprising. Song Chi believes that some aliens will not be able to hold back anymore.

Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Song Chi and Bai Mei reunited at the Yaoguang Star Tower. The two stood on the [Great Wall of Civilization] outside the star tower, waiting for the arrival of the warship from the main hall, and their eyes involuntarily looked towards the dark starry sky opposite.

At this time, Bai Mei suddenly said softly:
"Rumor has it that the four great empires seem to be preparing to launch an all-out war against the Eight-Armed Snake Demon Civilization!"
