Chapter 848: Chapter 444: Ruins Market Reopens – Abyssal Devil Race Chapter 848: Chapter 444: Ruins Market Reopens – Abyssal Devil Race Ruins Market, Ultra Long-Distance Space Gate Random Deployment Platform.

With a thought from Song Chi, the device suddenly emitted a burst of radiant light, and soon enough, corresponding numbers of spatial whirlpools manifested at the entrance of the Ruins Market.

A new trading session at the Ruins Market had officially begun.

…

During the first few hours of this session, nothing worth Song Chi’s attention occurred.

Until five hours later.

Free stall area.

“Look here, see here, the newly unearthed Emperor Ruins Source Stone, not for 99, not for 88, just 10 strands of Fourth Rank Floating Land Origin and you can get one, immense wealth is just in front of your eyes, a fifty-year-old store in Ruins Market guarantees it, come over and see!!”

With this familiar yelling, the densely packed aliens from the free stall area swiftly crowded towards the stall of the half-rodent vendor.

Not just these Starry Sea Alien Races, Song Chi, the Lord of the Ruins Market, was also greatly intrigued.

Emperor Ruins Source Stone, these four words were deeply etched in his memory.

The first strand of Seventh Rank Floating Land Origin in his hand came from here, and also that Dominator Blood Essence already used by the flagship of Prime Ancestor, the Immovable Ming King.

For this reason, upon hearing about the Emperor Ruins Source Stone again, Song Chi immediately mobilized the Power Of Domination and appeared silently at the innermost part of the source stone stall.

His gaze swept over the half-rodent, who had promoted from Third Rank to Fourth Rank over the decades, significantly strengthening his power.

However, this did not diminish his interest in setting up a stall at the Ruins Market; on the contrary, he became even more active.

Only he himself knew how many resources he had gathered in the Ruins Market over these fifty years; otherwise, with the funds he had before, who knows how long it would have taken him to even dare trying to advance to Fourth Rank.

Ignoring the half-rodent, Song Chi’s gaze travelled over the thousands of Emperor Ruins Source Stones on the stall. This seemingly ordinary action was in fact extraordinary, no alien noticed the fleeting shadow of double pupils in his eyes.

Third Rank Floating Land Origin, not interested!

Blue Oddity, skip!

Fourth Rank Floating Land Origin, skip!

…

Under his fully activated double pupils, the conditions inside these Emperor Ruins Source Stones were almost completely exposed, yet he did not make a move casually.

Aside from his standards now above these, he also needed to leave some good items for the half-rodent. If after repeatedly opening stones, no good items appeared, the other party might have grown suspicious long ago.

“Hmm?”

Uttering a soft sound of intrigue, Song Chi’s rapidly moving gaze suddenly paused, seeing a special item inside one of the Emperor Ruins Source Stones.

Is this an Abyssal Devil?

Inside this larger Emperor Ruins Source Stone, a creature was evidently sealed.

From its appearance, Song Chi judged it was probably from the Abyss Devil Race; judging from the law traces, this Abyss Devil was not of low Rank, most likely Sixth Rank Level.

However, intriguingly, this was its strength before being sealed. As for now, having been sealed inside the Emperor Ruins Source Stone for who knows how many tens of thousands of years, judging by the nearly stagnant life energy fluctuations inside, Song Chi could determine that it must now be extremely weakened.

Thus, he directly purchased this Emperor Ruins Source Stone, spending a full 50 strands of Fourth Rank Floating Land Origin.

According to the Fourth Rank half-rodent vendor, this source stone was much larger than others, and if a good item indeed emerged, its value must certainly be much higher, so it was more expensive.

Song Chi did not say much, he directly paid.

Abyss Devil Race, that is one of the ten Overlord Level Civilizations recorded in Torch Human Civilization, extremely skilled in manipulating minds and enslaving alien races for their own use, each move often accompanied by a large number of enslaved species, making it hard to guard against.

Comparatively, even the Wizard Civilization, renowned for their large-scale Enslavement Armies, is somewhat less formidable in this regard.

Such creatures, although extremely difficult to enslave, if successful, can greatly assist a Torch Ship Captain.

Most importantly, the Sixth Rank Devil of the current Emperor Ruins Source Stone was extremely weak, which could greatly increase the success rate of enslavement, naturally, Song Chi would not let this opportunity pass.

“Do you want to decode the stone right here?”

Song Chi shook his head, rejecting the invitation to decode the stone on the spot, as his gaze once again traveled across the many source stones, while he also muttered to himself.

“The Abyss Devil Race, this half-rodent behind still has connections with the Abyss Devil Race, is it an Abyss invasion, or an accidental stranding?”

As he mused, he quickly swept through all the Emperor Ruins Source Stones on the stall. Unfortunately, after the source stone sealing the Sixth Rank Devil, there were no other valuable items, the highest being only worth 10 strands of Fifth Rank Floating Land Origin, which Song Chi did not take.

…

“How about it, are you willing or not, give me a definite answer today!”

Inside the House of Silver store, Luke’s sharp voice echoed.

Apart from him, there were several figures in the shop.

North Sea Naga Deguen, Luofu Sword Sect Zhou Ping, Fourth Rank Dark Night Elf, Fourth Rank Treant Aisen.

Hearing his words, the four did not hurry to respond, instead they exchanged glances, each showing a hint of hesitation in their eyes.

Finally, the Dark Night Elf said:
“Currently, you are just Third Rank, and so is Zhou Ping, and Deguen has only recently advanced to Fourth Rank, are you really sure you can deal with a Fifth Rank Level Hidden Sea Flower?”

The matter they discussed was about dealing with a Fifth Rank Level Starry Sky Plant, the Hidden Sea Flower.

This Starry Sky Plant was discovered a few years ago by an expedition team under Viscount’s Mansion, and since then, Luke had frequently sought to negotiate with regular customers in the Ruins Market to deal it, but for various reasons, the matter had been delayed until now.

“I have a Type II War God Mech from the Viscount’s Mansion, which can temporarily give me Fourth Rank Combat Power; you don’t need to worry about this,” Luke insisted on his view, then added:
“Besides, that is a Fifth Rank Starry Sky Plant. Just for completing the mission, we could get four Red Oddities from the Ruins Market alone. Aren’t you tempted? Big Tree, the life crystal of that Starry Sky Plant could greatly assist your Treant Race…”

Under Luke’s gentle persuasion, Deguen and the others finally nodded and agreed.

Red Epic Oddities, for them who were only at the Third and Fourth Ranks, such Rank-level treasures were incredibly tempting. Now that the task of collecting Fifth Rank Void Crystals was cancelled, they had to try their best before the Ruins Market Lord cancels the purchasing task of the Fifth Rank Starry Sky Plant Heart.

“Then it’s settled, when can you make time? We might as well go together for Divine Country Teleportation.”

…

In the free stall area of the Ruins Market, a smile appeared on Song Chi’s face.

“It’s finally settled, it wasn’t easy at all!”

Three years ago when Luke first proposed this, he had paid much attention to it. However, hearing their repeated discussions and their repeated disagreements had somewhat left him powerless to comment.

Originally Goblin Luke had also invited him, ah… under his Blue Blood Clan disguise, but due to the upcoming total offensive against the Robber Star Floating Land and his unfamiliarity with the first Divine Country Teleportation, he finally refused Luke.

Seeing that they finally agreed, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

Now he just needed to wait for their formal action. If they were successful, he would collect three pieces of Fifth Rank Starry Sky Plant Hearts. If not, the one facing crisis wouldn’t be him, which couldn’t be more perfect.

While thinking about this, conversation soon came again from the store of the House of Silver.

“Let’s say half a month later. From what you mentioned, you all will be free in half a month. Then let’s do the teleportation then and head straight to where the Hidden Sea Flower is located when we arrive at the Empire!”

“Okay!”

“No problem!”

Once the cooperative plan was formally confirmed and they knew this Ruins Market transaction was over, there were no more noteworthy matters.

After tallying up his gains, Song Chi quickly exited the Ruins Market.

He needed to arrange some stuff back home since a formal joint action was a half-month away, and by then, he naturally needed to monitor the operation in real-time, besides verifying the exact functions of the Divine Country Mission Platform. He was also quite interested in Luke’s Silver Goblin Empire.

Not to mention anything else, just the Goblin War God Mech, which seemed to have been conquered, was inestimably valuable.

Compared to the Hellfire Mech, which specializes in long-range firepower suppression, and the agility of the Moruo Space-Escape Mech, the Goblin War God Mech was much more balanced, possessing strong firepower output and good close-combat capabilities. If he could obtain the complete blueprints of the Goblin War God Mech, it would likely be more popular than the Hellfire Mech or Moruo Space-Escape Mech alone.

Time passed, and half a month swiftly went by.

That day, several figures appeared in the Divine Country Player Trading Space.

“The group is all here, let’s do the teleportation!”

The four exchanged glances and then stepped onto the Divine Country Transport Platform together.

Since it was their first teleportation, Deguen and Zhou Ping seemed a bit nervous.

Compared to that, the Divine Country Points deducted for the teleportation seemed trivial.

Over decades, they had long surpassed Level 40, and with the reduced teleportation cost for player teams, the required Divine Country Points weren’t much.

Meanwhile, in the Heavenly Ruins Market.

Every bit of Song Chi’s spirit was immersed in the Divine Country Mission Platform, and a hint of a strange expression appeared on his face.

He closely watched the Divine Country Transport Platform in the Divine Country Player Trading Space, unsure if the teleportation would be successful.

The Divine Country Mission Platform was currently only enhanced to Sixth Rank, not just able to teleport at will; the precondition was that the distance between Luke’s Silver Goblin Empire Floating Land and the Torch Humanity Civilization and Eight-Armed Snake Demon Civilization River System Communities couldn’t be too far. Although the Heavenly Ruins Market was located in the dark side space of the Void Sea, it wasn’t omnipresent; strictly speaking, it mainly wanders on the dark side within these mentioned River System Communities.

In other words, if the Floating Land where the Silver Goblin Empire was located was too far from the Torch Humanity Civilization River System Communities, the Divine Country Teleportation would not be effective.

If such a situation were indeed to arise, it would truly undermine the prestige of the Heavenly Ruins Market.

Fortunately, such a situation did not occur, and with a flash of golden light, the four were shown to have been teleported to the Silver Goblin Empire.

At the same time, the mental imagery in his mind shifted, revealing a brand-new scene.

It was the landscape of the Silver Goblin Empire
