Global Era of Star trekking

```

The Dinghai Star Domain Spatial Gate Transit Station boasts eleven ring-shaped spatial portals that occupy most of the vast spherical station's interior space.

Each gateway is over a million meters in width and height, with the capacity to transport ten thousand Torch Warships at once.

That day, the portal linked to the Golden Lion Star Domain began to flicker with ghost light, signaling the start of the next transport.

In the main control room of a spectral airship over twenty meters long in the distance, a little girl pointed at the image of several Torch Warships in the corner of the projected screen in front of her and asked her grandfather:

"Grandpa, weren't those Torch Warships with us yesterday? Why can they go through the transport directly while we have to wait another eight days?"

Upon hearing this, the old man, with hair white from age and nearly 150 years old, laughed and shook his head:

"They are the big shots from the Dinghai Song family, and the Dinghai Song family is the sky of the entire Dinghai Star Domain."

As the old man spoke, the space gate in front was enveloped in a bright light, followed by intense spatial fluctuations.

When the light dissipated, the nearly ten thousand warships inside the gateway had vanished.

...

In the Golden Lion Star Domain, within the pitch-black starry sky, a small fleet moved at extreme speed.

"We're almost there, just tens of light-years more, and we'll reach the Golden Moon Star Zone," came the voice of Uncle Song Shan over the comm channel.

Since they were not far apart and within the magnetic field range of the warships, they had naturally been in continuous communication.

Soon after, the voice of Old Master Song Mingsong followed.

"Have the spatial jump devices finished buffering? If everyone's ready, let's start the jump!"

Shortly, the nine warships almost simultaneously initiated the spatial jump.

Golden Moon Star Zone, Golden Moon Floating Land.

As a Level 1 life-type Floating Land, which moreover was not a strategic location like the borderlands or White Tower Floating Land, Golden Moon Floating Land seemed particularly shabby in comparison.

Despite having over a dozen city clusters, there weren't many High-Rank Torch Ship Captains, they were even relatively pathetic in number.

There were only a few Second Rank Torch Ship Captains on the entire Floating Land, not a single Third Rank to be seen, let alone the presence of a Fourth Rank Zhulu Warship as a guardian like in the White Tower Floating Land.

The arrival of Song Chi and his party was a groundbreaking event for the entire Floating Land. They had just landed in the suburbs of a city named Red Leaf City when five native Second Rank Torch Warships rushed over on their heels.

Not only did they arrange for the highest hotel in Red Leaf City, but they also invited them to various banquets, afraid of slighting them in any way.

In the end, it was the grandfather who spoke up and scolded these people, but instead of showing offence, they seemed rather relieved and left one after another with smiles on their faces.

Having witnessed the entire process, Song Chi did not show any surprise or curiosity; this was the Interstellar Great Era, not the previous existence on Blue Star.

The concept that a powerful outsider cannot suppress a local force did not apply here.

In the Torch Human Civilization, where mighty power is, in effect, vested in the individual, the Rank of the warship meant everything.

As long as they don't kill a large number of ordinary citizens, as long as they don't overdo it, like a Third Rank Torch Warship killing a few native Second Rank Torch Ship Captains on a whim - forget the official governance of Torch Human Civilization, even the direct superior, the Chenxing Principality, would mostly not care.

Therefore, the behavior of these native Second Rank Torch Ship Captains was entirely within reason.

In the hotel, Song Chi didn't go to the underground battleship summoning room to enter the Ruins Market and cultivate the Guidance Technique. According to his grandfather, the Bai Family would arrive in a couple of days, and he wasn't particularly anxious about these couple of days.

In his personal room, his eyes slightly closed, he immersed his spiritual sense in the Ancestral Torch and connected to the local network of the Golden Moon Floating Continent Ring.

As soon as he connected to the Torch network, a familiar alert sounded in his ear.

The first phrase was still the familiar "Welcome to the Torch network."

The second was a sixteen-character phrase.

[The journey through the Starry Sea is long and arduous, the fire of civilization, eternally enduring.]

After that, it indicated that the network he connected to was the Golden Moon Floating Continent Ring local network.

[Dear "Cang Qiong" Ship Captain, you are now connected to the Golden Moon Floating Continent Ring local network.]

Hearing the eight words "Golden Moon Floating Continent Ring local network," Song Chi's eyes slightly narrowed.

It is said that after being promoted to Third Rank, one could connect to the intermediate local network of a whole Star Domain, and if one reached Fourth Rank, they could even connect directly to the high-level local network of the entire Chenxing Principality. Frankly speaking, he was somewhat looking forward to it.

After a brief pause, he successfully logged into the "Golden Moon Floating Continent Ring local network." The first thing that appeared before him was the common communication channel for Torch Ship Captains on the entire "Golden Moon Floating Continent."

However, the content being discussed on this channel caused Song Chi's mouth to twitch.

"{Yellow Earth}: I guess it's a big shot from the Duchy Capital Star Domain. Two cruisers and seven escort ships—the sight is downright terrifying."

"{Grey Wolf}: Speaking frankly, this is the first time I've seen a cruiser-class Torch Warship in person. Such ships that can suppress an entire Low-Level Floating Land by themselves— the oppressive feeling is truly overwhelming."

"{Old King}: But, speaking of which, why would such powerful individuals come to a little place like this? Could there be a High-Rank Oddity that has appeared nearby our Golden Moon Floating Land? ShockingJPG."

...

Song Chi had no interest in these inconsequential discussions. After closing the chat channel, he opened the local network's Blaze Market.
