Chapter 1021: Chapter 534: 120 Billion Light-Years_2

“Song Chi, do you really intend to go against my Chenxing Clan?”

Before finishing his sentence, Quinn Chenxing abruptly paused. His warship projection was instantly and utterly suppressed by the Void Sea power emanating from the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong. They were fundamentally on different levels, and the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong effortlessly crushed his projection.

Song Chi held no regard for the Chenxing Clan. A hundred years ago, they had intruded upon his family’s territory and forcibly seized half of the Time Realm Fruit resources. Therefore, he had no qualms about striking now. After all, it was merely a warship projection; even if he destroyed it, it would not violate the rules set by the Four Great Empires.

“Ting, take action!”

“Understood, brother.”

Inside the Purple Clothes Changting warship, Song Ting’s face lit up with a faint smile. She had always disliked the Chenxing Clan. After stepping into the ranks of the Immortal Clans, the Chenxing Clan became notoriously domineering within the kingdom, often targeting members of the Song Family.

Unfortunately, for over a hundred years, their family had adhered to a low-profile development strategy, strictly forbidding conflicts with other clans within the kingdom.

Now that her brother Song Chi had spoken up, given his standing within the family, Song Ting was no longer constrained.

She activated the orange main cannon of her warship.

“Clan Elder, save me!”

Feeling an overwhelming sense of impending doom, Resser Chenxing cried out for help, pleading to Quinn Chenxing.

“Song… Chi, if you truly dare… to strike, my Chenxing… Clan… will not let this go lightly!”

Quinn Chenxing struggled to utter these words as he resisted the crushing pressure of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong’s projection.

But Song Chi was entirely unmoved; to him, Quinn Chenxing wasn’t worth considering. If the Sixth Rank Fearless Ship Captain Angele Chenxing had spoken instead, he might have hesitated.

Soon, the Purple Clothes Changting warship’s main cannon fired. Without any suspense, Resser Chenxing’s flagship dimmed completely and was destroyed with a lethal blow.

As the warship sank, the captain—who hadn’t escaped—perished alongside his flagship. Resser Chenxing was gone for good.

“Song Chi…”

Having witnessed his own clansman killed outright, Quinn Chenxing burned with rage, but Song Chi promptly interrupted him.

“Deliver this message to your clan’s elders: If war is what they seek, the Song Family is ready at all times. If it’s personal dissent, I, Song Chi, am equally ready—whether on the Stellar Battlefield or the Alien Star Domain, you need only notify me!”

With that, the Void Energy and Void Sea power around the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong surged even more violently, obliterating Quinn Chenxing’s flagship projection entirely.

“Alright, Ting and youngster Liang, stay behind. Everyone else, disperse!”

Inside the projection of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, Song Chi activated a component, sealing off the entire star domain surrounding the three warships.

With the Space Lock Seal successfully activated, Song Chi—located light-years away—proceeded to utilize the Virtual and Real Conversion feature of the Void Sea Projection Emperor Tomb.

“This…”

Witnessing the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong’s projection transform into tangible form, both Song Ting and Song Liang were utterly stunned.

Once the projection had temporarily converted into physical substance, Song Chi paid no heed to their reactions. Instead, he quickly activated the warship’s traction force, pulling the sunken flagship of Resser Chenxing toward him.

“Fair luck; two purple components remain intact!”

Under his control, Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines salvaged the two surviving purple components and passed them to Song Liang. Simultaneously, Song Chi said:

“Young Liang, you’ve done well this time. These two purple Black Blade Demon-Hunting Cannons and Space Lock Stones are part of your reward. Besides this, what other reward would you like?”

With the Blink Device featuring the “teleportation distance increased by fourfold” trait already in his possession, Song Chi could soon merge it into the Space Wormhole Generator component, meaning his long-awaited Time Chess Board search mission could officially begin.

Thus, rewarding the young man who risked his life to acquire the components was only natural.

In the Chenliang warship’s main control room, Song Liang thought for a moment before responding:

“Chi Ancestor, I would like a high-quality Energy Shield!”

“An Energy Shield? Let me see.”

At his words, Song Chi scanned the assortment of components he had amassed over the years.

“You’re in luck, kid. I recently acquired a red Energy Shield.”

He retrieved the Ionic Spark Energy Shield he had traded for at a Ruins Market not long ago and then added a common orange ascension Fire Source to the reward pile.

Seeing the final rewards given by Song Chi, Song Liang couldn’t contain his excitement.

The value of the red Energy Shield was self-evident, and the ordinary orange ascension Fire Source could further evolve his just-upgraded blue Torch Seed into a purple Torch Seed. It effectively paved the way for him to ascend as a Zhulu Warship Captain in the future. How could he not be overjoyed?

After encouraging the young man, Song Chi shifted his focus to the Purple Clothes Changting warship.

The physical form of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong opened a hatch once more, releasing a brand-new Projection Emperor Stone to be delivered to Song Ting.

Once everything was settled, Song Chi activated the Oath Pact again, signing a confidentiality agreement with both individuals.

There was no choice; the importance of the Virtual and Real Conversion trait was too significant. It was better not to expose it unless absolutely necessary.

…

[Holy Light City], upper floor of Taibai Merchant Shop.

Clutching the Star Escape Broom component in his hand, Song Chi entered the Ruins Market briefly before quickly returning to Dragon Spine Continent.

Dragon Spine Sacred Mountain, Dragon Whale Hall.

Shrouded in Chaos Mist, Song Chi spoke up.

“Ancestor, I need to borrow the Space Wormhole Generator from your flagship for a short while.”

Hearing this, the opposing Song Wujiang displayed little surprise. After all, Song Chi had recently tested a set of star domain coordinates.

Though unsurprised, Song Wujiang couldn’t help but feel puzzled. Earlier tests had shown insufficient range, so what was Song Chi’s purpose now in borrowing the component?

Out of trust, he didn’t probe further and instead accompanied Song Chi to the Heritage Warship room.

By the time the two returned to Dragon Whale Hall, Song Chi already held the undamaged, carefully dismantled Level-70 Space Wormhole Generator in his hands.

“Ancestor, please wait a moment!”

With those words, his figure disappeared into the Chaos Mist-filled Dragon Whale Hall.

At the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, in front of the Miracle Origin Improvement Platform.

Song Chi repeated a familiar process, effortlessly extracting the teleportation distance increase trait from the Star Escape Broom component. He then consumed ten red oddities to extract the “+8200 Space Resistance for loaded warships” trait from the Space Wormhole Generator component.

Lastly, he integrated the “teleportation distance increased by fourfold” trait entry into the Space Wormhole Generator.

Once all steps were complete, Song Chi nervously inspected the updated attributes of the component.

Effect: Specify an endpoint coordinate, use the loaded warship’s current coordinate as the origin, and generate a spatial wormhole connecting both. Current maximum spatial wormhole reach: 120 billion light-years (100 × 3 × 4).

Confirming the component’s updated Effect, which had succeeded in extending its range from 30 billion light-years to 120 billion light-years, Song Chi snapped his fingers with satisfaction.

“It’s done!”

With Feature 3 “space wormhole connection distance increased threefold” now successfully stacked, the Space Wormhole Generator component had reached a maximum connection distance of 120 billion light-years.

In Dragon Whale Hall, Song Wujiang’s eyes narrowed in shock.

“This… Chi, you…”

His gaze lingered fixedly on the updated attribute panel of the Space Wormhole Generator, and his spirit trembled greatly.

If he had previously thought Song Chi’s future accomplishments would be impressive, he now firmly believed his grandson might one day ascend to the peak of Torch Human Civilization.

This was a golden sanctuary component, effortlessly modified with greatly enhanced traits—a feat that couldn’t even be achieved with black supreme parts, requiring at least colorful lower-level parts.
