Chapter 735 - 386: The Upcoming Journey to the Yaohan Kingdom

Chapter 735: Chapter 386: The Upcoming Journey to the Yaohan Kingdom

Here is the carefully translated and formatted text, adhering to your specific instructions:

In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed. Over the course of those seven days, Song Chi systematically reviewed and absorbed all the insights he had gained from the [Shaking Light Chaos Stele].

The final result was that his Space Law Comprehension, originally at 1.6%, had increased to 1.61%.

The Law of Light also rose from 0.45% to 0.47%.

Overall, the effect was quite remarkable. Afterward, he hurried out of seclusion.

The summons didn’t come from “Scorching Sun,” rather, it was initiated on the Family Head’s side.

The Dragon Spine Sacred Mountain, within the Clan Ancestral Hall.

Song Chi stood respectfully below the grand hall, accompanied by Song Ze and Song Bei. In addition to them, there was another individual whose presence greatly surprised Song Chi.

This unexpected person was none other than the Sixth Sequence of the current family generation, Song Yan.

The reason for his surprise stemmed from the fact that ever since becoming part of the family’s sequence, Song Chi had never met any of the other sequence members apart from himself.

*He had made numerous inquiries, but even the ordinary Fourth Rank Clan Elders seemed equally oblivious to the whereabouts of the sequence members. Meanwhile, those who truly held the answers, such as the Family Head or the Fifth Rank Ancestors, would simply respond with mysterious smiles and refuse to divulge anything.*

*Thus, the sudden appearance of this Fifth Sequence filled Song Chi with deep curiosity.*

Before he could dwell further on his thoughts, the weathered voice resonating from the bronze chairs surrounding the hall interrupted once again.

“So that’s the situation. The question now is: for this final negotiation before the expansion war, who should our Song family send?”

The hall fell silent upon hearing this. Neither the juniors positioned below the grand hall nor the many Clan Elders present—whether in their physical forms or through projections—uttered a word.

*It couldn’t be helped. Based on what had been previously discussed, this negotiation required a journey to the Stark Family’s ancestral land in the Yaohan Kingdom. The challenges of probing and negotiating with various factions there would be formidable, and determining exactly who to send needed careful deliberation by the Fifth Rank Ancestors in the clan.*

After a long period of silence, a sharp female voice broke the stillness.

“Since no one is speaking up, then I’ll go. I reckon the Stark Family wouldn’t dare to outright turn against our Song Family at this critical time.”

The speaker was Ru Zu of the Earth Vein. Known for her fiery temper, she couldn’t hold back upon seeing everyone acting as though they had lost their determination.

However, sitting beside her, Song Shiyuan simply cast her a brief glance before shaking his head decisively.

“You’re not suited for this. Heading to the Stark Family essentially means participating in further discussions about concrete plans for joint actions. There’s no room for error. Forget it… I’ll make the journey myself!”

But his proposal was swiftly countered by Song Xingru:

“You’re currently at a critical juncture in adjusting your state. Traveling to the Yaohan Kingdom now would likely interfere with the promotion of [Immovable Ming King].”

Song Shiyuan shook his head dismissively. “It’s not that exaggerated. The promotion of Dragon Spine Continent still requires more time. A quick trip should suffice.”

Through thorough discussions, a decision was finally made: the Prime Ancestor himself would lead the delegation. Once the leader was confirmed, attention shifted to Song Chi and the other three juniors.

Song Shiyuan lowered his gaze, his eyes landing on the four of them.

“Well then, do any of you wish to accompany me to the Yaohan Kingdom for some firsthand experience?”

No one was forced; the decision was left to Song Chi and the other three.

Song Bei was the first to respond. Having already made arrangements with Annie to explore an Alien Star Domain together, he swiftly declined with a shake of his head.

Surprisingly, the Sixth Sequence, Song Yan, also shook his head.

No speculation was necessary as he explained proactively:

“Ancestor, we’ve recently discovered a High Rank resource point, and manpower is currently lacking. I’m here to obtain the newly developed ‘Hellfire 01 Mecha’ for deployment. I won’t be joining the trip to the Yaohan Kingdom; instead, I believe Old Seventh should go.”

As he spoke, he turned to Song Chi with a smile—the “Old Seventh” he referred to was, evidently, Song Chi.

*Song Chi was slightly surprised, though he kept his expression neutral, offering a polite smile in return.*

Before their thoughts could linger further, the voice of Song Xuancang at the hall’s forefront echoed again.

“So it’s decided. The Prime Ancestor will lead the group, accompanied by Song Chi and Song Ze. Departure will be arranged for three days from now.”

Song Chi had no objections to this decision; in fact, he felt rather pleased.

*Earlier, he had been pondering when would be the best time to embark on the Northern Dome Star Domain journey. To ensure both the warship’s and his own timely upgrades before the expansion war, while still leaving adequate time for the subsequent ten-year Law Amplitude Phase, this arrangement was perfect.*

He suddenly interjected:

“Ancestor, Family Head, could we postpone the departure by a few days? I might need some time…”

After providing detailed explanations, the departure was rescheduled to ten days later.

Song Chi estimated that this timeline would avoid any conflicts with “Scorching Sun.”

True to the saying, “Speak of the devil and he shall appear.”

The very next day after the meeting concluded, a greeting came through the [Shaking Light Star Rank Chat Group] from “Scorching Sun.”

“19th—’Scorching Sun’: @Waking of Insects, got a moment?”

“32nd—’Waking of Insects’: Online now?”

…

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

Two warships streaked across the skies above the Great Wall, leaving two blazing trails behind them.

Inside the Battleship Main Control Room, Song Chi took the initiative to ask:

“Brother Scorching Sun, where are we heading?”

These warships were none other than the [Undying Phoenix Ship] and [Cang Qiong]. After confirming their agreement in the group chat, they had logged on in their physical forms one after another. However, despite meeting up, Scorching Sun had yet to elaborate, leading the Cang Qiong straight past the Star Tower.

“The Civilization Great Wall stretches endlessly, and communication across its expanse is not straightforward. To simplify matters, large Teleportation Star Gates are positioned beneath the wall at regular intervals. These Star Gates not only allow travel between adjacent segments of the Great Wall but also enable members of the Wall’s defensive fleets to teleport to the secluded Torch Kingdom at the Great Wall’s rear.”
