Chapter 877: Chapter 458: Overlord Level Wizard Civilization – Ruins Market Advancing to Fifth Rank_2

Seeing this Fourth Rank wizard’s attention was indeed focused entirely on the [Di Man Race Blood Puppet], Song Chi’s heart also filled with strong anticipation.

He hoped that the other party would take out a corresponding Golden Sanctuary Wondrous Oddity for the exchange.

However, things did not develop as he wished. After examining the [Di Man Race Blood Puppet] for quite a while, the Fourth Rank wizard turned around and left the Oddity Exchange Shop, eventually heading back towards the Space Gate.

“Could it be that this person is not the decision-maker?”

Song Chi was surprised, but he could only fall back into waiting.

…

Far away, under the jurisdiction of the Wizard River System Cluster, Sky Mechanical City Star Domain.

With a spatial fluctuation, a Fourth Rank wizard appeared from the Space Gate.

As he quickly approached a nearby Sixth Rank wizard, the Fourth Rank wizard quickly said:

“Teacher, this Space Gate indeed leads to a trading Ruins Market that connects to the heavens, and if I’m not mistaken, it must have been established by an unknown Starry Sea Dominator Creature!”

Hearing this, the elderly Sixth Rank wizard asked:

“On what basis? Or did you see the genuine form of that Dominator?”

The Fourth Rank wizard shook his head repeatedly.

“That Ruins Market Lord is extremely mysterious, not revealing himself actively. My judgment is based on the large number of high-level Starry Sea Oddities displayed in the market!”

“Oh? What Quality?”

“Silver, and gold, thirteen of silver, and two of gold!”

Upon hearing ‘silver’ and ‘gold’, and especially after hearing the specific numbers, bright lights flashed in the cloudy eyes of the elder.

However, the Fourth Rank wizard did not stop there. He continued:

“One of those two Gold Sanctuary Wondrous Oddities, named [Di Man Race Blood Puppet], is transformed from the corpse of a Di Man Race Barbarian God and is a top-quality alchemy puppet carrier!”

As he spoke, the Fourth Rank wizard ignored the brilliance in his teacher’s eyes, continuing fervently:

“Teacher, hasn’t our grandmaster always wanted to possess a Dominator Level Enslaved Creature? Although [Di Man Race Blood Puppet] cannot be transformed into an enslaved creature, a Dominator puppet is equally a force of Domination Power. Grandmaster has just been promoted to True Spirit Wizard not long ago, acquiring a Dominator puppet will certainly play a significant role in the later Starry Sea expeditions. Perhaps, pleased by this, he might offer you a chance to ascend to a True Spirit Wizard!”

At this point, both the mentor and disciple were extremely enthusiastic, both keenly aware of the immense value of this discovery. If they could seize it, the possibility of them advancing further was almost certain.

Sky Mechanical City is indeed a leading force of the Wizard Civilization, but there are many factions within, all vying for a higher share of benefits. Merely depending on a newly promoted True Spirit Wizard is not enough; at this moment, gaining a Dominator Level puppet could be great news for their faction.

“At this moment, it is still very far from teacher’s True Spirit Tower, it would take more than an hour to cross the vast Star Domain. Levan, you go first and exchange for a [Ruins Market Walking Command], and when we return to the True Spirit Tower, we can then exchange for the [Di Man Race Blood Puppet]!”

“Yes, teacher!”

…

Seeing the Fourth Rank wizard returning to the Ruins Market, Song Chi focused intently on him, but seeing him only take out a Red Epic Oddity in the end, Song Chi’s disappointment was palpable.

Fortunately, the other party exchanged for a [Ruins Market Walking Command], and there might still be a chance for a reversal.

Soon, under the reluctant gazes of many Starry Sea Alien Races, the Ruins Market transaction concluded, and a strong repelling force ejected these Alien Races from the market.

There was no choice, the Divine Country Mission Platform’s Divine Country Players’ limit had already been reached long ago, and these Alien Races who were unable to acquire a Ruins Market Token would find it very difficult to gain access to the Markets of the Heavens or Divine Country Player Trading Spaces in the future.

While Song Chi regularly clears out some inactive Divine Country Players every month, the numbers are not large.

“But it will be fine soon, once this Ruins Market upgrades, the [Divine Country Mission Platform] configuration will be enhanced to Seventh Rank, vastly increasing the quota for Divine Country Players!”

At the thought of this, Song Chi did not rush to tally the gains from this Ruins Market transaction and instead directly accessed the Ruins Market attribute panel.

This time, without obtaining the Star Origin Stone, he could only take out one of the two newly recovered Mixed Elemental Copper to officially initiate the Ruins Market’s upgrade to Fifth Rank.

Currently, before the upgrade, there’s one more thing he must do.

Taking out a Fifth Rank Silver Apple that he had reserved, Song Chi arrived in front of the [Stealth Light Platform]. This piece of equipment, being only of Purple Quality, could not be enhanced to Fifth Rank. To conceal the noise that might be generated by the subsequent Ruin Market upgrade, it had to be evolved into Orange Quality in advance.

Quickly, this [Stealth Light Platform] evolved into Orange Quality and was also enhanced to Fifth Rank.

Having done this, Song Chi then officially began the Ruins Market upgrade.

With the input of a piece of Mixed Elemental Copper, all conditions were met, and Song Chi promptly initiated the upgrade.

[The current Ruins Market upgrade requires six months, please patiently wait!]

Song Chi raised an eyebrow.

He remembered that the previous upgrade to Fourth Rank took a full year; he had assumed this time might take longer but unexpectedly it required only half a year.

However, he soon figured it out.

The previous upgrade was from Third Rank to Fourth Rank, a large step upgrade, whereas both Fourth and Fifth Ranks belong to the Intermediate Civilization in the classification of the civilizations in the Starry Sea.

Without dwelling much longer, Song Chi turned and left the Ruins Market.

In the next half year, Song Chi, along with the family and Duchy’s United Fleet, continued the subsequent operations.

Until half a year later.

Upon re-entering the Ruins Market, Song Chi could distinctly feel that the Ruins Market Secret Realm had further expanded in area, and the Power Of Domination inside him had advanced a step closer, although not reaching Eighth Rank, he had indeed reached the pinnacle of Seventh Rank.

Realizing this, the smile in Song Chi’s eyes deepened, confirming his earlier speculations.

With this newfound Power of Domination at the pinnacle of Seventh Rank, facing the Wizard Civilization in the future, he would have enough confidence. Furthermore, the Ruins Market Projection Token projecting the Markets of the Heavens in the future would no longer possess just the most basic dominator combat power, but would play a far greater role.

Thinking this, Song Chi eagerly opened the Ruins Market property panel, eager to see if there were other new changes after the upgrade to Fifth Rank.

[Name: Zhu Tian Ruins Market]

[Ruins Market Lord: Song Chi]

[Level: lv50]

[Size: 500kmX500km]

[Basic Configuration: 1200 shops, one 50kmx50km stall area, one four-story inn, one lv49 All-Attributes Cultivation Room (double efficiency when doing Spectral Energy cultivation), one lv49 Spectral Energy Protection Formation, one lv49 Ultra Long-Distance Space Gate Random Deployment Platform, one Fourth Rank Spirit Mechanism Synthesis Platform, one Zero Rank Strange Object Origin Improvement Platform.]

[Extra Configuration: Stealth Light Platform (Orange) lv50, Fifth Rank Bloodline Baptism Altar (Red), Divine Country Mission Platform (Gold) lv69 (7/22)]

[Feature: Averting Misfortune (can freely move within the void, mysteriously avoiding natural disasters)]

[Feature 2: Spatial Anchor Point (can set four coordinate anchor points in any star domain in the Shattered Starry Sea)]

[Feature 3: Dominion Position (possessing the power of domination when in the Ruins Market)]

[Upgrade Requirement: 100 strands of Fifth Rank Floating Land Origin, Ruins Market Trading Volume must reach fifty thousand strands of Fifth Rank Floating Land Origin]

His gaze meticulously reviewed the property panel several times, and Song Chi’s eyes finally rested on the [Basic Configuration] section.

More precisely, his attention was caught by the newly added [Zero Rank Strange Object Origin Improvement Platform] in the Basic Configuration section.

At a glance, the most direct change in these Ruins Market properties was the addition of this entirely new configuration. Other than that, besides the increased size of the Ruins Market area, there was also an additional usable anchor point added to the [Spatial Anchor Point] feature.
