{Totem True Body: Within a radius of ten thousand meters from the Totem Spirit Column, Zero Rank worship creatures fully activate all Totem Patterns on their body surface, entering the Totem True Body form, Combat Power is comprehensively enhanced, duration 20s, Cooldown Time 720 hours.}

After reading the attributes of this special component, a glint flashed through Song Chi’s eyes.

"It really is the Totem Spirit Column..."

He had been somewhat guessing whether this Strange Object might be the Totem Spirit Column that Hei Xie mentioned several times, and now it seemed his guess was correct.

And judging from the attributes of this Totem Spirit Column, it was undoubtedly a very extraordinary component.

It can actively provide considerable empowerment to the worshiped creatures, although there are various limitations such as Faith Value consumption and effective range. Yet, it does not have the fatal side effects associated with the Enslavement Mark: Frenzy Trait, which is its greatest advantage.

If it could be combined and used together with the Enslavement Medal component, or even activate Totem True Body and Enslavement Mark: Frenzy at the same time, the effects could certainly be more extraordinary than usual.

Thinking this, a surge of excitement rushed through Song Chi’s heart, and he eagerly wanted to test the combined effects of these two abilities. However, due to the Cooldown of the Enslavement Mark: Frenzy, this was not possible.

With joy, the component was loaded onto the Cang Qiong, but he didn’t rush to enhance it. Instead, he began searching the ruins of the Iron Wind Tribe.

The Blood Elephant Tribe had their own tribal secret treasures, and the Iron Wind Tribe, with a history of over five thousand years, was unlikely not to possess one. Song Chi held great expectations for the secret treasure of this ancient tribe.

However, the previous battle had turned the entire tribal architecture into ruins, making the search exceedingly difficult. It was only after several hours that he finally found the secret treasure in a corner.

And the final outcome did not disappoint. Compared to the Blood Elephant Tribe, the Iron Wind Tribe’s foundation was indeed much more substantial.

There were as many as 800 strands of Third Rank Floating Land Origin, tens of thousands of Second Rank Floating Land Origin, and over a hundred thousand strands of Zero Rank and First Rank Floating Land Origin. More importantly, Song Chi obtained 10 strands of Fourth-Rank Floating Land Origin from this secret treasure, which was the biggest surprise.

With the 5 strands he originally had, he now had a total of 15 strands of Fourth-Rank Floating Land Origin. Adding the 40 strands his grandfather owed him, that totaled to 55 strands.

With so many strands of Fourth-Rank Floating Land Origin, even seasoned Third Rank Torch Captains would probably have a similar amount.

Additionally, in this secret treasure was a Strange Object that could be converted to a Purple Engine, which could later be handed over to the family in exchange for Golden Merit Points.

After taking inventory of all the gains, it was almost time to return.

Song Chi thought for a moment and decided to set the only Spatial Anchor Point from the Ruins Market on the Blood Barbarian Continent.

This Floating Land had great future value. After all, beyond the Iron Wind and Blood Elephant tribes, there were more than ten other large wolf barbarian tribes on this Third Rank Floating Land in the east of the continent, and there could be other Strange Objects like the Totem Spirit Column among them.

Of course, Song Chi was not capable of exploring here in the short term without the Enslavement Mark: Frenzy Trait; he truly did not have the confidence to battle the spirit beasts of those large wolf barbarian tribes that possessed some Fourth Rank powers.

He would wait until the Cooldown of the Enslavement Mark: Frenzy Trait ended or until his grandfather successfully advanced to Fourth Rank before considering another scavenging trip to the Blood Barbarian Continent.

Furthermore, a Third Rank Life-Form Star Sea Floating Land was also valuable enough to justify sending a large number of clan members from within the Pulse for sustained development.

Once the Spatial Anchor Point was set, the Cang Qiong quickly ascended into the skies of the Blood Barbarian Continent, and a few minutes later, intense spatial fluctuations ensued.

...

At the Green Moon Manor, in the council hall of the Tenth Direct Vein.

Song Mingsong sat elevated in the main seat. To his left and right were Song Shan and Bai Xiuqin, who had also ascended to Third Rank just like the flagship.

Besides them, there were core members of the Pulse such as Song Hai, Song Chao, and Zhao Hongxue, along with a number of Second Rank Torch Captains who joined the Pulse later.

At this time, Song Mingsong, seated at the head, spoke:

```

"The high-end combat power of the Bailing Civilization has already been completely wiped out. The pulse has decided that we will set out for the Bailing Starfield in a month to begin sustained development. The transfer warships are also ready. Does anyone have any objections?"

"This is the first time since the opening of our Tenth Direct Vein that we’ll be embarking on large-scale development of an Alien Star Domain possessing a Third Rank Starry Sea Floating Land. Everyone must make all necessary preparations."

At this time, Song Hua, a Second Rank Torch Ship Captain who had just joined the vein a little over a year ago, spoke up:

"Vein Leader, the Bailing Civilization has only just been preliminarily cleared out, and you and Deputy Vein Master Song Shan are currently busy with the joint exploration of the Alien Star Domain. If we hurry over for development now, and if there are any remaining Third Rank Bailing Tribe warships in the Bailing Starfield, wouldn’t that be...?"

Hearing this, Song Mingsong affirmed:

"Rest assured, when Little Chi returns, he will go with you to the Bailing Starfield and temporarily take charge for a while."

With these words, the few Second Rank Torch Ship Captains who joined the vein later fixed their gazes, voicing no further dissent.

Today, the entire Tenth Direct Vein, or rather the entire Dinghai Song family, has a full understanding of who Song Chi is.

Not long ago, the upper echelons of the family had already announced the list of candidates for the Seventh Sequence. Everyone on the list now enjoys tremendous fame within the entire Song family and even has a certain reputation beyond the Dinghai Star Domain.

As one of those on the list, Song Chi is naturally no exception.

All members of the Song family are clear about one thing: those who make it onto this list have flagships that at least possess the combat power of a Third Rank cruiser, because for the Dinghai Song Family’s sequence, this is only the minimum requirement.

The meeting ended, and everyone left one after another.

At that moment, a faint rumble of engines came from above Green Moon Manor.

It was the Cang Qiong, just returning from exploring the Alien Star Domain.

In his grandparents’ courtyard, Song Chi soon learned that he had to go and temporarily oversee the Bailing Starfield in a month. He had no objection to that.

As his grandfather and uncle had said, the Bailing Civilization was just an ordinary Third Rank low-level civilization, with only the typical standard Third Rank combat units and nothing that could pose a threat to the Cang Qiong.

After nodding in agreement, Song Chi summoned the Cang Qiong and brought out nearly twenty gravely wounded Third Rank wolf barbarians and a Third Rank Peak wild plains barbarian elephant.

Song Mingsong was straightforward. In the past two months, the Second Rank Torch Ship Captains of the pulse hadn’t been idle. Those capable had all tried to capture some Third Rank Alien Race units during their exploration of alien Star Domains, allowing the Furious Lion to kill them in the end as a way to possibly enhance the likelihood of the Furious Lion’s ascent to the Fourth Rank.

This was also the biggest advantage of having the backing of a power: there wasn’t the kind of political maneuvering seen in the outside world. When one is on the brink of advancement, the others in the power would go all out to help, as many hands make light work, thereby maximizing the chance of a successful advancement.

However, despite having some mental preparation, when Song Mingsong saw the nearly twenty Third Rank wolf barbarians and the Third Rank Peak wild plains barbarian elephant brought down from the Cang Qiong all at once, he was still a bit surprised.

The number was indeed frightening.

Collecting his thoughts and after controlling the Furious Lion to kill each of the Third Rank wolf barbarians and the wild plains barbarian elephant, Song Mingsong left their corpses aside. These bodies would be handed over to the family to exchange for certain Merit Points.

Once the family sent someone to collect all the bodies, Song Chi asked:

"Grandfather, what’s the current success rate of Furious Lion’s promotion?"

Song Mingsong naturally wouldn’t hide anything from his grandson. Without much hesitation, he stated directly:

"Not bad. With your more or less assistance, plus the military exploits against the Bailing Civilization, the success rate has now exceeded 28%."

Upon hearing this, Song Chi frowned instantly, his joy turning into concern in a flash. This number was far less than what he had imagined!!
