The instinct to advance was driving it, desiring to devour and merge with this strand of Magma Core Fire as quickly as possible.

Under a traction far exceeding the past, the Magma Core Fire was rapidly moving toward the Seed of Torch at the center of the Ancestral Aperture.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle!

Upon formal contact, the Seed of Torch emitting blue light seemed as if a large handful of dry kindling had been added to it. The blue flames wildly leaped about, and the blazing Fire Seed was like an eternal glimmer within the chaos, illuminating the dim Ancestral Aperture Space.

Although the Seed of Torch seemed like a wild horse injected with a stimulus, rampaging within the void of Chaos Space, the Magma Core Fire was quite the opposite. Under the devouring and merging by the Seed of Torch, it gradually dimmed, its dazzling orange glow slowly extinguishing until it was completely merged into the Seed of Torch.

This entire process lasted about an hour. Once the devouring was thoroughly complete, the blue Seed of Torch also officially completed its transformation, turning from its original blue into a resplendent purple.

When the Seed of Torch completed its transformation from blue to purple, Song Chi’s spirit was invigorated, for the energy he had expended to promote the fusion of the two flames fully recovered at that moment.

In addition, with the blessing of the purple Seed of Torch, his spirit was more condensed than before, something that the blue Seed of Torch could not compare to.

"Phew!"

After carefully sensing the changes within himself and feeling exceptionally good, Song Chi resealed the Ancestral Torch, and the purple glow continuously emanating from the Ancestral Aperture Space also completely dissipated.

However, in the instant when the Ancestral Torch was completely sealed, a purple flame flashed and disappeared in the depths of his eyes.

Boom boom boom!

The door to the secret chamber slowly opened, and the three people who had been waiting outside without ever leaving were about to inquire.

But Song Chi spoke before they could.

"Grandma, Dad, Mom, the promotion was successful!"

Hearing this, the three, who had been tense up until now, finally showed genuine smiles on their faces.

"Good, good, good..."

Half an hour later, the news of Song Chi’s Seed of Torch successfully advancing to purple swept through all the core members’ ears within the pulse, and congratulations continued nonstop.

However, it was limited to this. Following the advice of Bai Xiuqin, the news was temporarily sealed within the core members of the Tenth Direct Vein.

Even if the news spread, the impact on Song Chi would be limited, after all, he was already a figure in the sight of all the Song family members.

But Bai Xiuqin’s reasoning was simple: for those on the family’s candidate list, this wasn’t a big deal, and there was no need to spread it to common knowledge.

Meanwhile, after chatting with a group of elders as well as Song Qi and Song You, Song Chi soon took his leave.

The others understood that he had just advanced, and there must be many things on his flagship that needed to be sorted out, so they didn’t hold him up.

...

In Zhu Tian Ruins Market, within the free stall zone.

After entering the market, Song Chi immediately summoned the Cang Qiong.

With the advancement of the Seed of Torch and the significant loot from the Blood Barbarian Continent, combined with the remaining Titanium Crystal, it was the optimal time to substantially enhance the Cang Qiong, and he was eager to do so.

Upon entering the Cang Qiong, the first thing Song Chi enhanced was not those components already strengthened to Lv39, but he turned his attention to the newly acquired [Totem Spirit Column].

This orange component required consumption of Faith Value for continued use, so the earlier it was enhanced to Third Rank, and the sooner Tuogu Hong, the Thorned Flying Dragon, and Zhao Lei among others were made believers to provide faith and rapidly fill the Faith Pool, the better.

Without hesitation, he consumed several Zero Rank, First Rank Floating Land Origin, along with 690 strands of Second-Rank Floating Land Origin and 120 Titanium Crystals, directly enhancing it to Lv30.

Then, using the [Enslavement Medal], Tuogu Hong and the Thorned Flying Dragon became believers of this component, and Song Chi also used a [Ruins Market Walking Rank] to add Zhao Lei, far away in the Asteroid Belt, to the list.

However, Soul Master and Soul Two were not eligible, as they were Third Rank and could not enter the Ruins Market through a [Ruins Market Walking Rank].

They would have to wait for Song Chi’s subsequent exploration of the ancient battlefield in the starry sky, to also make them believers, imprint them with Totem Patterns, and he could also try with their subordinates, the Third-Rank Chimera and Blackwater Xuan Snake.

After all this, looking at the attributes of the [Totem Spirit Column], it indeed showed a significant difference.

Totem Spirit Column Lv30

```

Quality: Orange

...

Faith Pool: 20/80000 (Each Third Rank worshipper can provide 8 Faith Points per day)

No Charge or Buffer Required

Upgrade Requirement: 15 strands of Third Rank Floating Land Origin, 40000 Spectral Energy Points, 15 Third Rank Life Cores, 32 Titanium Crystals

{Totem Pattern: For Zero Rank worship creatures, engraving the Totem Pattern within a radius of 400,000 meters from the Totem Spirit Column, the engraver can actively activate the Totem Pattern to bless themselves, lasting for 8 minutes, with a cooldown time of 2 hours.}

{Totem True Body: Within a radius of 400,000 meters from the Totem Spirit Column, Zero Rank worship creatures fully activate all Totem Patterns on their bodies, entering the Totem True Body state, achieving all-around enhancement in combat power, lasting for 600s, with a cooldown time of 360 hours.}

After reaching lv30, Song Chi did not choose to continue enhancing, not only because he needed to enhance other components with the resources at hand, but also because there were no Fourth Rank enslaved creatures on the Cang Qiong, and the Third Rank [Totem Spirit Column] was still sufficient.

Following the [Totem Spirit Column] component, the next component, needless to say, is one of the two highest quality components currently on the Cang Qiong, the Red Epic Quality [Neutron Star Core Armor].

However, before enhancing this component, it was necessary to first strengthen the [Light Energy Aggregation Engine] component.

All subsequent components needed to be enhanced to Fourth Rank, and as the current engine at lv39 may have some energy supply issues, Song Chi took the initiative to enhance it to lv40 first.

After reaching lv40, the [Light Energy Aggregation Engine]’s Spectral Energy Pool was increased to 180000 points, and the Energy Supply Efficiency also greatly improved, enough to satisfy the enhancement of the remaining components and their subsequent consumption.

Once the engine component was enhanced, Song Chi officially began enhancing the [Neutron Star Core Armor] component.

[Are you sure you want to consume 150 strands of Third Rank Floating Land Origin + 3 strands of Fourth Rank Floating Land Origin + 110000 Spectral Energy Points + 150 tons of Cobalt Stone + 80 Titanium Crystals + 1 Law Stone to upgrade the Neutron Star Core Armor from lv39 to lv40?]

"Confirm!"

With his confirmation, a large amount of resources disappeared into thin air, all converging into the warship armor beneath his feet. Stay updated via NovelBin.Côm

If one were to look from the outside, they would see that the entire hull of the Cang Qiong was emitting a thick fluorescence, and within this glow, streaks and threads of mysterious power weaved through.

That was the weak Power of Laws condensed from the Law Stone and Fourth Rank Floating Land Origin, merged with a large amount of Spectral Energy.

Now, looking at the attributes of the [Neutron Star Core Armor] component, there was a profound change.

Neutron Star Core Armor lv40

Quality: Red

...

Feature 3: Additional increase in Armor Defense Value by 170%

Consumption: 900/s (Spectral Energy Points)

Defence: 8505000

No Charge or Buffer Required

Upgrade Requirement: 5 strands of Fourth Rank Floating Land Origin, 130000 Spectral Energy Points, 300 tons of Cobalt Stone, 83 Titanium Crystals, 4 Law Stones

{Neutron Star Fission: Consumes 70000 Spectral Energy Points, temporarily transforms the warship into a miniature Neutron Star form to defend against external attacks, lasting for 120s, with a cooldown time of 24 hours.}

Besides this, the other "Neutron Star Core Pulse" feature also had changes once again.

From the original repair of 3% of the armor layer every 15s and restoration of 3% of the Shipborne Energy Shield Value every 30s, it was upgraded to repairing 4% of the armor layer every 10s and restoring 4% of the Shipborne Energy Shield Value every 20s.

It may not seem like a big change, but the actual increase was indeed astonishing.

To give an example with the current lv39 [Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator] component.

The "Neutron Star Core Pulse" feature previously restored a Shield Value of 11800 points/s, but now it has become 23600 points/s, a full doubling.

Moreover, if the [Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator] was also enhanced to lv40, this value would increase even further.
