Chapter 620: Chapter 327: Eight-Armed Serpent Demon Advanced Civilization – The Heavenly Disk Galaxy Spanning 1.8 Million Light-Years

Before returning to Sky Rush Valley, Song Xingru had specifically kept Song Chi around for a while longer.

“Little Chi, have you heard any news about the great pioneer war recently?”

Song Chi raised an eyebrow and then nodded quickly.

As for these rumors, which were no longer a secret among the upper echelons of the principality, of course, he was aware. He had heard that the overlord of the Heavenly Disk Galaxy, the “Yaohan Kingdom,” which was the suzerain state above the principality, was about to launch an external pioneer war, primarily aimed at expanding the kingdom’s territory to increase the borders of the Torchlight Humanity’s galaxy cluster.

Apart from that, he also understood that this was an action fraught with both danger and opportunity. If managed well, it could yield unimaginable wealth, but any deviation could result in even a Torchlight Humanity state like the Chenxing Principality potentially toppling over.

...

“Do you know how big the Heavenly Disk Galaxy is?”

Suddenly, Song Xingru asked a question that seemed completely unrelated. Although puzzled, Song Chi still responded truthfully.

“More than a million light-years in diameter!”

To this answer, Song Xingru first nodded and then quickly shook her head, saying:

“Right, but also wrong!”

“The Heavenly Disk Galaxy now indeed barely exceeds a million light-years in diameter, yet it does not encompass the full range of the Heavenly Disk Galaxy, or rather, the part of the Heavenly Disk Galaxy that the Yaohan Kingdom occupies now is incomplete.”

A bright light flared in Song Chi’s eyes; this was the first time he had heard such a claim.

But then, thinking about it, he was somewhat taken aback.

If the current Heavenly Disk Galaxy, already over a million light-years in diameter, is considered incomplete, then how vast is the actual Heavenly Disk Galaxy?

You must understand that a galaxy with a million light-years already counts as a medium to large galaxy. So if it’s even bigger, wouldn’t it be a large, or even a colossal galaxy?

As if seeing through his thoughts, Song Xingru nodded and continued:

“Yes, a complete Heavenly Disk Galaxy is close to being a colossal galaxy, sprawling over 1.8 million light-years, with many Seven Rank Starry Sea Floating Lands nurtured within it!”

Song Chi’s breathing quickened, catching a lot of information from these words.

A diameter of over 1.8 million light-years means that the current Heavenly Disk Galaxy only makes up less than 60% of the entire galaxy.

So the question arises, who holds the other territory of over 800 thousand light-years, or under what power or civilization does it fall?

Before he could ask more, Song Xingru quickly offered an answer.

“The Eight-Armed Snake Demon!”

“The Eight-Armed Snake Demon Civilization is a neighboring top-tier advanced civilization to the Torchlight Humanity’s galaxy cluster. Their members are naturally endowed with eight arms, a pair of vertical pupils with extremely strong petrification abilities, and are naturally favored by the Law of Earth. Their Heavenly Serpent Warships also possess many unique features with terrifying combat power…”

As Song Xingru recounted at length, Song Chi’s eyes gradually conveyed a sense of gravity.

According to Ru Zu, this Eight-Armed Snake Demon Civilization is a very powerful top-tier advanced civilization, controlling an entire galaxy cluster and standing in opposition to Torchlight Humanity for over a hundred thousand years.

The only good news is that this small half of the Heavenly Disk Galaxy, facing off against the Yaohan Kingdom, is not truly in the hands of the Eight-Armed Serpent Demons but rather a subsidiary civilization under their control.

This civilization is known as the Robber Star Civilization, and the dominant race within the civilization is called the Robber Star Race.

Don’t underestimate them just because they are a subsidiary civilization of the Eight-Armed Snake Demons; they are also a bona fide advanced civilization, with Seventh Rank Dominators existing within their ranks.

Moreover, this Robber Star Race is also the biggest supporting force behind the Chaotic Star Field. Beyond a chaotic area extending over 20,000 light-years in diameter lies the territory controlled by the Robber Star Civilization.

Just as Song Chi’s thoughts were racing, Song Xingru, having conveyed all the news, directly bid him farewell.

“Alright, that’s all there is to say. You may leave now…”

“Oh yes, the great pioneer war should take place in fifty years. Didn’t you say you can enter the Zhu Tian Ruins Market every so often? If you get the chance, you should take this time to collect a large amount of various war supplies. You could make a fortune!”

Song Chi nodded first, indicating he understood, and then left the Dragon Spine Shop Building.

Regarding the acquisition of war supplies, as an experienced broker with more than twenty years of experience, Song Chi had already sensed this opportunity and had begun small-scale purchasing at the Zhu Tian Ruins Market.

He had already amassed war supplies exceeding ten million strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin in his possession.

The reason he hadn’t engaged in large-scale purchasing wasn’t just because the news hadn’t been completely confirmed, but also because his current funds weren’t particularly abundant.

After all, having commissioned Song Yufeng to purchase various Starry Sea Oddities that couldn’t be converted into warship components, he had taken out a significant amount of Floating Land Origin from his personal holdings.

However, this wasn’t a difficult problem at all. Now that the veracity of the news had been confirmed, he would speed up selling off those blue and white Starry Sea Oddities in his possession.

Such oddities couldn’t be traded for particularly rare items anyway, so it would be better to exchange them at the normal Strange Object prices for Low Rank Floating Land Origin. This way, he could double his profits and use the acquired Low Rank Floating Land Origin to purchase a variety of war supplies extensively; then sell them for a fortune back at the Chenxing Yang Continent.

Currently, within the entire Chenxing Yang Continent and even throughout the Chenxing Principality’s markets, the prices of war supplies were gradually increasing, and the profits were not low. As long as he rolled it over a few times, he could certainly make a big profit from this opportunity.

Having settled on his subsequent plans, Song Chi steered the Cang Qiong back to Sky Rush Valley.

Scarcely had he landed in the valley when the family’s patrol team stationed there sent news of a visitor’s arrival.

“The Bai Family? What are they doing here?”

Upon receiving the message from the patrol team, Song Chi learned that it was indeed people from the Bai Family who had come.

Hearing these two words, Song Chi’s brow furrowed subconsciously.

His impression of this Bai Family wasn’t exactly favorable.

He remembered that during the Copper Mountain Floating Land incident, their actions had been utterly loathsome.

Although he was displeased, Song Chi knew he had to meet her because the visitor was no other than his Grandmother Bai Xiuqin’s elder sister, his grandaunt Bai Xiurong.

Some ten minutes later, in the living room of Song Chi’s personal residence within the estate, Song Chi greeted his grandaunt with a smile.

Opposite him, Bai Xiurong also responded with a smile.

Her smile was devoid of any oddity, as if she felt genuinely happy to see her grandson Song Chi after twenty years, but only she was aware of her true thoughts.

In fact, Bai Xiurong’s heart was filled with bitterness at the moment, or rather, from the day she heard that Song Mingsong’s flagship had been promoted to a Contending Warship and that Song Chi was ranked in the seventh sequence of the current generation of the Dinghai Song Family, she and the entire senior Bai Family of her line were filled with regret.

Had it not been for those vexing issues, with the relationship between the two families and the status of Bai Xiuqin within the Tenth Direct Vein of the Song Family, their entire Bai Family could have benefitted significantly.

Unfortunately, events had gone awry because of the selfish actions of one member back then, leading to the two families becoming almost complete strangers to each other now.

She took a deep breath.

Bai Xiurong forced herself to stop thinking about those vexing issues, maintaining her smile as she softly began to speak:

“Little Chi, I remember when you had just awakened your powers, in the blink of an eye twenty years have passed, and not only have you caught up with your great-grandmother, but you are also ranked in the seventh sequence of the Song Family’s current generation…”

Bai Xiurong sighed with these words, hoping to bridge some of the distance between them.

However, although Song Chi’s face bore a polite smile while seated at the head, his actual attitude was one of clear rejection from a thousand miles away.

Sensing this, Bai Xiurong couldn’t help but stiffen her expression, regardless of how much she tried to control it.

At that moment, Song Chi, who sat at the head, suddenly initiated the conversation:

“Aunt Xiurong, please speak frankly if you need anything. If it’s within my power, your grandson will surely do his best…”

Although his words sounded gracious, both knew they were nothing but formalities; if it were some trivial matter, Song Chi might not refuse, but if it was something troubling, then they shouldn’t expect too much.

Even fully understanding this, Bai Xiurong still spoke after composing her thoughts:

“It’s like this, recently, the distribution of proceeds from the upcoming pioneering wars has been underway, and you know, our Bai Family, being small and unimportant, only has one Contending Warship Captain to rely on. Recently, the distribution has nearly left us out altogether, so…”

The intention of Bai Xiurong was straightforward: she wanted Song Chi to say a word on their behalf to Song Xingru so the Bai Family could get a slightly better share of the distribution.

Although Song Xingru had not been involved in the distribution of these proceeds, it was out of choice, not a lack of capability. If she were to speak up, then even just relying on the Fearless Ship standing behind the Dinghai Song Family would be more than enough to have a significant impact.

As for why the Bai Family would do such a thing, there was only one reason: immense benefit.

Would dividing 12% of the profits among more than twenty powers mean each family only receives insignificant benefits?

Those who thought so would be greatly mistaken. One must understand that this was 12% of the proceeds obtained by a pioneering fleet headed by several Fearless Ships, where even a mere 1% represented a massive amount of resources.

For a power like the Bai Family that was in decline and left with only a Fourth-Rank Contending Warship Captain, these resources were undeniably the stuff of dreams, and with proper management, it was not impossible to use this opportunity to advance several new Contenders.

Of course, the Bai Family was not simply talking without offering anything in return.

Before Song Chi could even speak, Bai Xiurong proactively presented two components, one red and one orange.

Fiery Magma Warship Armor lv0

Quality: Red

Feature: Magma Shield Layer

Fiery Magma Cannon lv0

Quality: Orange

Feature: Main Cannon Might Increase by 45%

Of these two warship components, the red armor was naturally the Bai Family’s bargaining chip to persuade Song Xingru to speak on their behalf, while the orange main cannon was a benefit for Song Chi.

Both were among the most common components, and despite their good quality, both Song Chi and Song Xingru’s flagships wouldn’t need them. However, to secure a simple spoken word, no one would refuse such an offer.

Even the most common of red components held considerable value.

“Don’t worry, Aunt Xiurong, your grandson will take care of it!”

After Bai Xiurong left, Song Chi made another trip to Holy Star City.

After discussing the matter with Song Xingru and presenting the red quality “Fiery Magma Warship Armor,” Song Xingru naturally agreed without hesitation.

Before long, there were rumors within the Chenxing Yang Continent’s capital that the backing of the Bai Family was none other than the Dinghai Song Family. Leveraging this, the Bai Family managed to secure a reasonably good share in the subsequent distributions.

Song Chi did not know or pay attention to these developments. Upon returning to the Sky Rush Valley, he immediately entered the Ruins Market and began to enhance the Cang Qiong.

He planned to combine that “Fiery Magma Cannon” with several purple components and later have his kin take them back to Dragon Spine Continent for his parents.

In the Cang Qiong, Song Chi promptly installed the “Heart of Behemoth” and the “Aurora Transition Device.”

The “Aurora Transition Device” replaced the “Pegasus Transition Device,” which was merely a blue component enhanced to lv30 and did not consume Titanium Crystal or such, so there was no need to go back to his clan and borrow the “Tri-Eye Solidifying Ring” or anything like that.
