Global Era of Star trekking

After a moment of hesitation, Song Chi shook his head. To be honest, although such components were rare, for someone who had the entire Zhu Tian Ruins Market as his personal storage space, they weren't that appealing.

Without thinking too much, he first installed the component on the Cang Qiong, and did not enhance it.

As for what to do with it later—whether to install it elsewhere, exchange it with his clan, or give it to his grandfather, his uncle, or his father—these decisions could be made later. Since he hadn't enhanced it, there was no need to worry about wasting resources.

Moving on to the second item, it was a standard-issue Purple Relic.

Its name was [Black Gold Armor], and it could be transformed into a piece of purple Warship Armor called [Dark Gold Armor Layer]. Experience tales at empire

However, it didn't have any active features, only a passive feature that provided additional Defense Value. Its value was likely not as high as that of the Obsidian Ship Armor, and if he were to exchange it with his clan later, it might fetch about 4 or 5 points of Golden Merit.

After securing this Strange Object, Song Chi quietly waited. He did not engage in Visualization, nor did he cultivate the Guidance Technique, but just focused intently on the spatial wormhole ahead.

Cultivation could be done at any time, but right now was a critical moment. At the depths of this wormhole, there were at least four half-step Fourth Rank Humanoid Alien Race individuals, and he couldn't afford any carelessness.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten hours had gone by. Song Chi maintained absolute vigilance throughout, but those Humanoid Alien Race individuals who had entered the depths of the spatial wormhole seemed not to return daily. Instead, it seemed they stayed there for a long time, so no accidents occurred midway.

Inside the Cang Qiong's cockpit, the half-step Fourth Rank Humanoid Alien Race individual finally woke up. It seemed a little confused at first, but after a while, Song Chi began to inquire.

"How many of you are there at the half-step Fourth Rank?"

The first question was about the number of half-step Fourth Ranks. Although Cher had clearly stated there were five, considering his status, Song Chi still needed to verify this information himself.

If he missed one or two half-step Fourth Ranks and it led to the failure of subsequent actions, that would be a low-level mistake.

However, the reply from the half-step Fourth Rank Humanoid Alien Race was no different; indeed, there were only five half-step Fourth Ranks, including it, at this base.

With this confirmed, Song Chi continued.

"Where exactly do you come from? Or have you always lived in this asteroid belt?"

Song Chi was greatly surprised by the answer to this question.

Even extremely shocked.

According to the other party, they had always lived in this asteroid belt, it's just that they had been living on another huge asteroid until two hundred years ago. That was when they discovered this spatial wormhole and the ancient warship remnants, and they migrated here.

Of course, the focus wasn't on these details. The key was what it mentioned about the huge asteroid where they stayed previously.

According to the half-step Fourth Rank Humanoid Alien Race, there was an ancient stele on that huge asteroid, and the stele didn't have much recorded on it, just twenty characters.

Floating Land without bounds, when the great catastrophe arrived, it collapsed, and then broke into numerous fragments, with no more chances to ascend to the heavens!

The meaning was not hard to grasp.

Essentially, this place was once a boundless Starry Sea Floating Land, which later encountered a catastrophic event. The Floating Land collapsed, turning into countless fragments and asteroids, and the Floating Land Origin dispersed everywhere, leaving no possibility for life to advance to higher levels.

Based on Song Chi's speculation, the catastrophe mentioned on the stele was likely caused by the ancient warship by his side, which traveled through this spatial wormhole. Perhaps, the pursuers behind it triggered some inconceivable attack method in an attempt to eliminate a lingering threat from afar.

What comes next is easier to guess. The ancient warship dodged the attack, but not completely, leading to its eventual crash.

The remnants of the attack, with most of its might, struck the Starry Sea Floating Land below, resulting in the collapse of the entire continent and giving rise to this asteroid belt that stretched for 21 light-years.

Only this could explain all the doubts Song Chi had in his mind before.

Furthermore, with the size of this asteroid belt and the existence of these humanoid aliens at the half-step Fourth Rank, Song Chi estimated that the original Starry Sea Floating Land was very likely a Life-Form Star Sea Floating Land of the fourth rank or higher.

Thus, the emergence of five half-step Fourth Rank lifeforms was understandable. Even if the Origin Core of a Starry Sea Floating Land of the fourth rank or higher shattered, it would certainly have left behind numerous Fourth-Rank Floating Land Origin fragments. Using these, reaching the fourth rank was impossible, but achieving half-step Fourth Rank could still be done.

However, the probability of it being a fifth-rank Starry Sea Floating Land was quite low; it was most likely a fourth-rank Starry Sea Floating Land.

Thinking of this, Song Chi was astounded.

He didn't know how vast a fourth-rank Starry Sea Floating Land was, but by inferring from the fifth-rank Dragon Spine Continent, it certainly couldn't be small.

And yet, such a Floating Land was destroyed by some kind of weapon or special attack method. To be honest, with his current knowledge, this was unbelievable.

Suppressing the turmoil within him, Song Chi changed the subject to continue his inquiry.

"Where does the other end of this spatial wormhole lead to? Or what is there?"

As he asked this question, Song Chi's breath hitched slightly, without a doubt, this was the issue he was most concerned about and had the greatest implications.
