Chapter 1020: Chapter 534: 120 Billion Light-Years

Regarding this remark, Song Ting rarely chose not to respond, because what the other party said was indeed true.

This Quinn Chenxing was precisely the legitimate succession sequence representative of her brother Song Chi’s generation within the Chenxing Clan, ranked even higher than Ansewei’s elder brother Seyn Chenxing, and was the Third Prince of that generation in the Chenxing Principality.

Compared to herself, Quinn Chenxing had already served as the Captain of the Zhulu Warship for nearly two hundred years, and was said to be a seasoned veteran in the role.

As for Song Ting herself, despite the support from her elder brother Song Chi, she had only barely managed to ascend as the Captain of the Zhulu Warship some forty years ago, her combat power far inferior to that of Quinn Chenxing.

However, despite acknowledging this disparity, Song Ting’s tone showed no sign of weakness.

“There’s no need to sidetrack with unrelated matters. In this case, your position is already indefensible. Either this person stays, or I summon my brother here!!!”

By the time she finished her statement, Song Ting’s words had lost all semblance of courtesy, laced with undisguised menace.

“You…”

Across from her, the projection on Quinn Chenxing’s flagship swirled with spectral energy, betraying his inner turmoil. While he desperately wanted to retort, he found himself at a loss for words in the face of undeniable facts.

Song Chi was now leagues above Quinn Chenxing, a Battleship Captain not quite two hundred years old and already acknowledged by the Chenxing Clan’s higher-ups as an exceptional Super River System Genius, on par with veteran captains.

If Song Ting indeed summoned Song Chi, the situation would undoubtedly become more difficult.

But, voluntarily giving up a Third Rank clansman was entirely inconceivable for him. Such an act would certainly lead to ridicule from Captains of the same rank across the kingdom in the future.

Pondering this, Quinn Chenxing spoke again:

“It’s impossible for you to detain a member of my Chenxing Clan. How about we offer one Purple Component…”

“I disagree!”

Song Jian interrupted once more, silencing this future power figure of the Chenxing Clan. This made Quinn Chenxing unable to suppress his simmering rage any longer.

He no longer mentioned any compromises or reparations, his tone turning icy as he spoke, enunciating every word:

“It seems my Chenxing Royal Family has been too lenient in the past. Today, I want to see who dares to touch a member of my clan!!!”

This abrupt tonal shift seemed to embolden Resser Chenxing substantially.

Resser Chenxing suddenly turned toward the nearby Song Liang, his tone dripping with sarcastic malice:

“Kid, you’d better watch yourself. The wheel of fortune turns, and just because you’re lucky today doesn’t mean fortune will always favor you. Who knows? Perhaps one day, you’ll quietly perish in some desolate Star Domain. Ha ha!”

Though his words were casual, the threatening undertone was impossible to miss.

Resser Chenxing’s message was straightforward—he intended to leave unscathed today but openly declared his vendetta against Song Liang. Should he find an opportunity in the future, he would not hesitate to strike with lethal force.

Such brazen words reached the projection on Song Ting’s flagship.

Two thousand light-years away, in the Robber Dragon Star Domain, atop the Fourth-Level Floating Land.

As one of the rare Fourth-Level life-supporting Floating Lands within a three-thousand-light-year radius, the Robber Dragon Floating Land served as the Star Domain’s capital and the base of the Song Family’s Fourth Rank Clan Elder.

At this moment, a Zhulu Warship was seen emerging from within the Floating Land Shield of the Robber Dragon Floating Land.

Once it had cleared the Floating Land Shield, the [Purple Clothes Changting] immediately activated its Spatial Jump.

After two jumps, the [Purple Clothes Changting] arrived at the Jiesong Star Region.

The moment the [Purple Clothes Changting] appeared, Quinn Chenxing’s expression changed drastically.

“Song Ting, you…”

Before he could finish speaking, Song Ting had already activated the Projection Emperor Stone in her hand.

Soon, the image of a gigantic warship spanning 14,000 meters silently materialized.

“Xiao Ting?”

Song Chi sounded perplexed. He had spent the past few decades residing in the [Holy Light City]; upon receiving an unexpected projection request from his younger sister, he immediately accepted, assuming Song Ting had encountered danger while exploring the Alien Star Domain. However, the current situation deeply puzzled him.

“Brother…”

Song Ting was just about to explain everything that had transpired.

Across from her, Quinn Chenxing was already secretly instructing Resser Chenxing to escape.

But as soon as Resser Chenxing attempted to activate his Blink Device, a void chain suddenly shot out from the void beside his flagship, binding it effortlessly in place and leaving it utterly incapable of movement.

Seeing this, Quinn Chenxing’s expression darkened as he said:

“Song Chi, are you truly going to break the rules and make a move?”

Song Chi, having recognized Quinn Chenxing with just a glance upon projecting over, showed no interest in engaging. When Quinn Chenxing addressed him directly, he remained indifferent, responding coldly without sparing him even a glance.

“Within the Song Family Territory, no one leaves without my family’s permission—including you!”

With that, he ignored the other’s reaction entirely and continued listening to his younger sister’s explanation.

When the key detail of the “Blink Device capable of quadrupling transmission distance” was mentioned, Song Chi’s eyes gleamed brightly.

After spending decades searching fruitlessly in the [Holy Light City] for such a component, he hadn’t expected that it would turn up in his family’s territory—a truly breathtaking surprise.

Upon understanding the full context, he maneuvered the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong’s projection to approach the [Chenliang].

“Greetings, Chi Ancestor!”

In the Battleship Main Control Room, Song Liang’s face glowed with excitement as he gazed at the approaching Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong projection.

“Well done. But as a son of the Song Family, being bullied in your own territory and failing to retaliate tenfold is unacceptable!”

Having said that, Song Chi’s cold gaze shifted toward Resser Chenxing’s flagship. His eyes revealed no emotion whatsoever; if any outsider saw this look, they would immediately realize he was staring at a dead man.
