Chapter 1011: Chapter 528: Dividing the Spoils_2

Song Chi shook his head.

“Big Brother, I’ll send you directly back to Dragon Abyss City. As for me, I still want to stay a bit longer in [Holy Light City].”

With the three new pieces of neutron star remains he just acquired, the upgrading progress of [Neutron Star Core Armor] has reached 8/10. The complete evolution to Golden Warship Armor is within reach. Considering the vast scale of [Holy Light City], he wanted to see if he could procure the remaining two pieces of neutron star remains here.

Moreover, he needed to search for a Strange Object with the trait “Double Working Range.” In a place as bustling as [Holy Light City], the chances were higher.

Although Song Yan didn’t know why Song Chi wanted to stay in [Holy Light City], he didn’t ask further.

He first boarded the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong with Song Chi. Once the warship’s hatch fully closed, Song Chi took out the Strange Object [Dimension Space Stone]. After sending Song Yan into Dimension Space, he quickly traveled back to Dragon Abyss City through Zhu Tian Ruins Market.

From his first arrival in Dragon Abyss City, he had already established a spatial anchor point within the city, making such trips incredibly convenient.

Dragon Abyss City, Dragon Abyss Hall.

Song Chi reappeared abruptly and summoned Song Yan out of the [Dimension Space Stone]. Witnessing a return spanning nearly ten thousand light-years from [Holy Light City] in an instant, even though Song Yan was prepared for it, he still couldn’t help but marvel.

After hesitating for a moment and organizing his words, he tentatively asked:

“Little Seven, I don’t mean anything by this. If it’s inconvenient to answer, you can ignore it.”

Song Chi said nothing, waiting for Song Yan to continue.

“This special ability for traveling back and forth—does it have any limitations?”

Song Chi didn’t understand Song Yan’s intentions. But out of trust, he answered truthfully:

“Currently, the biological entities I can send and retrieve cannot exceed Fifth Rank.”

“I see… Then it seems it won’t work for now.”

Hearing this, Song Yan shook his head. Noticing Song Chi’s confusion, he explained:

“I have access to a high-ranking civilization relic that’s flooded with intense flame energy. Ordinary creatures can’t enter, and as for Fifth Rank beings, they would likely melt upon stepping inside.”

Upon hearing this unexpected revelation, Song Chi’s eyes lit up with interest.

He clearly remembered the elder mentioning that his Big Brother had acquired a high-level civilization’s legacy. Instinctively, he suspected this flame-filled relic was likely related to the civilization Song Yan inherited.

As he pondered, he suddenly asked:

“What about Starry Sky Dragon Sharks? Can Dominator Creatures withstand that flame?”

Song Yan quickly shook his head.

“If it were a Flame Attribute Dominator Creature, perhaps it might be possible. But the Starry Sky Dragon Shark won’t work. That relic spans a significant area!”

As Song Chi was about to say more, Song Shixing and Song Yao walked into the room.

Upon hearing that Song Chi planned to stay in [Holy Light City] for a while, Song Shixing waved his hand and took out 50 strands of Seventh Rank Floating Land Origin, directly handing them to Song Chi.

Song Chi: ???

“Little Chi, since you’re staying in [Holy Light City], keep an eye out for ‘Chaos Qi.’ If you encounter it, be sure to buy it.”

Hearing the phrase “Chaos Qi,” both Song Chi and Song Yan instantly understood.

Receiving the 50 strands of Seventh Rank Floating Land Origin, Song Chi also took out the strand of Chaos Qi he had obtained from the Star Spirit Race’s treasure vault.

Seeing the Chaos Qi, Song Shixing and Song Yao couldn’t hide their delight in their eyes.

“Xingzu, Yaozu, is the family preparing to focus entirely on restoring [Dragon Whale Hall]?”

Seeing Song Shixing nod, Song Chi was genuinely pleased. He had always supported the restoration of [Dragon Whale Hall].

Simply put, the “Mind Hall” feature of [Dragon Whale Hall] had proven crucial many times.

And this was merely the Black Supreme Quality version of [Dragon Whale Hall]. If it could complete its third restoration phase and evolve into Colorful Mythical Quality, its protective effect on the spiritual could be further enhanced.

However, though he was pleased, Song Chi understood this process couldn’t be rushed. To undergo the third restoration phase, [Dragon Whale Hall] required 100 strands of Chaos Qi. Despite the Song Family collecting over ten strands in the past century, the shortfall was still substantial.

It was conceivable that it would take at least several hundred, possibly even a thousand years, to collect the remaining Chaos Qi.

“Let’s work together! Recently, the Hidden Pulse External Affairs Department has found another clue related to Chaos Qi. Once this round’s decision-making impact subsides, we’ll launch the second phase of operations.”

On this topic, Song Chi asked another question:

“Speaking of bases, how is the family’s city-building plan progressing?”

“Currently, we’ve secured three potential city sites. The first is 3,000 light-years west in the Black Thorn Mountain Range. Although over a hundred civilization groups are gathered there, with more than five Dominator-led civilizations, alien races dominate the population, and no major (Eighth Level) civilization exists.”

“The second location is 7,000 light-years north in the North Pole Ice Plain. Many low-ranking alien civilizations exist here, though their quality is poor. However, it’s sufficiently safe since no advanced civilizations are present.”

“The third location is over 5,000 light-years south in the Shattered Sea. That area is chaotic and full of clustered alien races. If we build a city there, Little Chi, your Starry Sky Dragon Shark might have to guard the city permanently.”

…

After listening to the three options, Song Chi fell into deep thought.

“Xingzu, what are your thoughts?”

Song Shixing glanced at Song Yao beside him, then replied honestly:

“Yaozu and I both lean toward the southern Shattered Sea. While it’s chaotic, it also presents immense business opportunities. Stretching over a hundred light-years, the Shattered Sea produces high-quality Deep Sea Clam Pearls and a unique Fire Carp species. Long-term consumption of these fish can elevate the Seed of Torch, though it only applies to Colorless and White Fire Seeds. If we can fully monopolize its purchase channels, it’ll become one of the Song Family’s major assets!”

Having said this, the two turned their gaze to Song Chi. Ultimately, their thoughts were dependent on Song Chi’s decision.

After all, if the city were to be built along the Shattered Sea, the Starry Sky Dragon Shark would have to remain stationed there for a long time.

Song Chi did not hesitate and lightly nodded.

“If the Shattered Sea is the optimal site, then let’s build the city there. I’m fine with it.”

This wasn’t an insincere statement. In truth, Song Chi didn’t value the Starry Sky Dragon Shark very highly.

If the Zhu Tian Ruins Market hadn’t introduced [Market Projection Rank], he might have been reluctant. But now, with Dominator Projection methods available, once the Ruins Market advanced to Sixth Rank, the Dominion Position would likely rise to the Eighth Rank. At that point, the combat power of Ruins Market Projection would reach Seventh Rank Peak or even Quasi-Eighth Rank.

As for the Starry Sky Dragon Shark—not even a Starry Sky Behemoth—struggling against early Seventh Rank Star Spirit Dominators, Song Chi genuinely wasn’t concerned.

Of course, his real ambition was to attempt enslaving the Black Devourer King Beast in a hundred years. Also a Seventh Rank creature, the Black Devourer King Beast, a Starry Sky Behemoth, was far superior to the Starry Sky Dragon Shark.

“Alright, since Little Chi has no objections, we’ll proceed. However, as a reward for stationing the Starry Sky Dragon Shark there, you’ll receive one-tenth of the annual profits from the family’s city built along the Shattered Sea!”

Hearing this, Song Chi felt a surge of excitement.

The family planned to construct a Seventh Rank neutral city, whose annual profits would be astronomical. One-tenth wasn’t a small share.

“Since the elder has spoken, your grandchild graciously accepts!”

No one would refuse an offer of wealth, and Song Chi agreed readily.

“Very well. The lineage will gather detailed city construction plans shortly. The build is expected to begin within the next few years.”

Song Shixing’s tone revealed his joy. For the Hidden Pulse lineage and the entire family, this was a momentous event.

Having settled this decision, Song Chi made a brief trip back to [Holy Light City], bringing the Starry Sky Dragon Shark in miniaturized form to Dragon Abyss City. Only then did he set off alone for [Holy Light City].

Within [Holy Light City], at the warship docking zone, inside the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong.

After fusing the three pieces of neutron star remains with [Neutron Star Core Armor], Song Chi took out the Antimatter Source.
