Global Era of Star trekking

First, the vast majority of Unranked, One-star, and Two-star Starry Sea Floating Lands have a resource value assessment of 3 stars or below, such as White Tower Floating Land, Guangyuan Floating Land, etc., both of which are rated at 2 stars.

Besides, ordinary Third-Rank Floating Lands are basically valued at 4 stars, with only a very few reaching 5 stars, such as the Silver Spear Floating Continent which Song Chi had visited. Because it is a Vitality-Type Third-Rank Floating Land, it is valued at 5 stars within the Song family.

And the 6 stars in this task is what most Fourth-Rank Starry Sea Floating Lands can achieve, which shows that the Divine Soul Type resources on the Soul Spirit Floating Land must be extremely rare and important, otherwise they could never reach 6 stars.

Thinking this, Song Chi naturally felt a stirring of excitement.

He had seen Divine Soul Type resources above the 30th floor of the Merit Tower before. Not only were they extremely rare, but they were also outrageously expensive. A Divine Soul Type resource that could affect a Second-Rank Torch Ship Captain often cost more than 3 Golden Merit Points.

Song Chi also had some understanding of the effect of these Divine Soul Type resources, which essentially was to enhance the cultivation speed of Spiritual Force or the strength of the Spiritual Force itself, laying the groundwork for the advance into the Mythical Mecha Form after reaching the Fourth Rank.

However, when he saw the task difficulty listed at the bottom of the task introduction, his gaze hesitated for a moment, and the impulsive urge he felt naturally receded slightly.

He was quite clear on the family's categorization of task difficulty:

One-star Easy (daily tasks, basically no death rate)

Two-star Normal (about 5% death rate)

Three-star Difficult (about 15% death rate)

Four-star Dangerous (about 30% death rate)

Five-star Hell (over 60% death rate) Find exclusive stories on empire

A 30% death rate, even with the protection of the Blue Seed of Torch for his spirit and having the [Abnormal Status Purifier] as a special component, made Song Chi somewhat reluctant.

No choice, for someone who took prudence as his motto, a 1/3 chance of death was terrifyingly high.

Moreover, the Amethyst Bio-Skin Battle Armor that he was wearing did not have extra resistance to Divine Soul Type attacks, which further dissuaded Song Chi.

"Forget it, after all, it's an expedition against a Third-Rank Starry Sea Floating Land. Given that the Soul Spirit Clan relies on the Floating Land Shield, this war is unlikely to end in a short time. I'll wait until the Cang Qiong is promoted to Second Rank before considering it..."

With this thought in mind, Song Chi turned and walked to the warship docking point in the courtyard.

After summoning the Cang Qiong, he quickly entered.

Nearing the special slot for the [Enslavement Medal] component, Song Chi focused his gaze.

Enslavement Medal lv30

Quality: Red

Enslavement Marks: 5/5

...

UpRank Requirement: 20 strands of Second-Rank Floating Land Origin, 70000 Spectral Energy Points, 43 Titanium Crystals

...

{Enslavement Mark: Frenzy: Consume 30000 Spectral Energy Points, specify an enslaved target to enter a frenzied state at the cost of life, after the frenzy, the enslaved object's strength will be increased by one Great Rank. (Frenzy duration is 5 hours, buffer time is 1 year {9 months and 24 days}, strength increase cannot exceed the enhancement limit of this component.)}

Indeed, in these past two months, Song Chi had not just devoted all his time to practicing the Guidance Technique. He had also undertaken two explorations of the Alien Star Domain that yielded meager results and opened two transactions at the Ruins Market.

In these two Ruins Market transactions, he acquired 100 Titanium Crystals from Zhou Ping, along with nearly a thousand strands of Second-Rank Floating Land Origin. Combined with the 100 Titanium Crystals he exchanged for 1 Golden Merit Point at the Merit Tower, he managed to enhance the [Enslavement Medal] to lv30.

Seeing the "Enslavement Mark: Furious" row showing the remaining buffer time of 9 months and 24 days, Song Chi felt a sense of helplessness.

The buffer time for the Special Feature of [Enslavement Medal] had indeed been significantly reduced after upgrading to Third Rank, from 3 years to 1 year. However, for him, this was still somewhat too long.

Originally, he had planned to enslave a Third Rank Creature immediately after [Enslavement Medal] was upgraded to Third Rank. Just the thought of the Cang Qiong carrying a bondage creature capable of exhibiting Fourth-Rank Combat Power was thrilling.

But the still one-year-long buffer time of "Enslavement Mark: Furious" completely quelled his enthusiasm to enslave a Third Rank Creature right away.

No choice, even if he managed to enslave a Third Rank Creature with much effort, it would be futile if the Furious Trait of the Enslavement Mark was still in cooldown.

However, with the release of the {Soul Spirit Floating Land Expedition} task, it was about time for the [Enslavement Medal] to play its rightful role.

Thinking this, his gaze shifted, redirecting his attention to the Cang Qiong's blue Torch hull.

Then, with his confirmation, the blue Torch hull was directly upgraded to lv19.

It was not over yet.

[Do you wish to initiate the ship's advancement mission?]

"Initiate!"

As soon as he confirmed the initiation of Cang Qiong's advancement mission, a virtual panel suddenly appeared before his eyes.

[Warship Advancement Mission (Cang Qiong)]

[Current Success Rate of Advancement: 1%]

[Special Advancement Resource Recipe (0/4): Spirit Stone*1, Millennium Volcanic Iron Essence*1, Moon Rock*1, Zircon*1]

[Additional Advancement Resources: None]

[Bathed in Alien Race Blood: None]

After a thorough scan, Song Chi's eyebrows rose. The special resources needed for Cang Qiong's advancement all four were required, which took him by surprise.

Isn't it said that the probability for this to happen is quite low?

However, it was just a slight surprise, and he didn't care too much. Instead, he quickly took out the four prepared resources and also brought out the low-level energy crystals and the 2300-year-old Mo Moon Tree sap.

As all these materials merged into the Torch hull, looking again at the [Current Success Rate of Advancement], the original 1% had abruptly changed to 22%.

Seeing this, Song Chi's lips curled up into a smile.

The next step was to travel once more to the Yellow Sand Floating Continent, to hunt those Second-Rank and Third-Rank sand worms, so that Cang Qiong could bathe in the blood of an Alien Race to increase the additional success rate of advancement.

Just then, his mother's calling voice suddenly came from outside.

After recalling Cang Qiong, Song Chi strode toward the courtyard's exterior.

In the courtyard where his uncle Song Shan resided, all members of the Tenth Direct Lineage were gathered.

As for the matter under discussion, it naturally concerned the Soul Spirit Floating Land expedition mission.

In the middle of the courtyard, next to the Mountain cruiser, Song Shan began speaking:

"We must participate in this mission. Divine Soul Type resources, such things are serendipitous and cannot be sought after. This time, the First Direct Lineage's fortunate discovery of this Soul Spirit Floating Land is also a stroke of luck for our Song family. This opportunity must not be missed."

As he spoke, Song Shan's tone shifted:

"However, considering dad has not yet finished his garrison mission and I need to suppress the Origin Eruption Eye, we can't be hasty. Let's wait for dad to return before discussing further.

This large-scale mission won't be concluded in a short time. There's no need to rush; before then, nobody is allowed to sign up on their own. Understand!!"

Hearing this serious tone, everyone felt a chill in their hearts. In the current absence of Song Mingsong, Song Shan, who had advanced the flagship to Third-Rank, was the decision-maker of the family, and his words carried significant weight.

Of course, everyone clearly understood why Song Shan was being so solemn.

Family missions with a danger level are not a joke. With a 30% death rate and no Third-Rank Torch Captain to lead, a single misstep could mean loss of life, and any loss to their newly established Tenth Direct Lineage was unacceptable.

Seeing all the family members nodding, Song Shan was about to end the meeting.

But at that moment, Song You, who was standing by his side, suddenly asked:

"Dad, I just saw in the family's public channel that a Second-Rank uncle claimed his Spiritual Force is stuck at the second stage of the Ordinary Thought State. What does that mean?"

ps: I didn't get the chance to correct the previous chapter before; now, the outcome of the Komoy Serpent has been given, having gasped its last.

Also, the exchange price for the orange component in the Merit Tower has been adjusted; the normal exchange price is 80–120 Golden Merits.
