Chapter 430: The Chaos Sector’s Hidden Resources

As for the southern part of the Chaos Sector, similar to the previous Red River Sector, it had long been divided and no longer belonged to the Song family.

Not long after the allocation plan was agreed upon, the four major powers of the duchy took their fleets and left one after another, leaving only the Song Fleet in the western part of the Chaos Sector.

Encrypted group chat created by the Calm-Sea Dragon-Xiang of the Calm-Sea Cruiser, with messages flying rapidly.

Song Dingbang: The golden super main cannon is almost guaranteed!

Song Tianshu: Actually, that was within our expectations. Considering the foundation before establishing the nation, the Morningstar Family has existed for over six thousand years. Having a golden super main cannon isn’t surprising!

Song Tianhao: What are the plans for the upcoming cleanup and advancement in this western sector?

Seeing the messages flying in the group chat, Song Chi also sent a message.

Song Chi: Black Hole Core, Escape Stones, and Fifth-Tier and above Void Crystals. If our ancestors or elders find these resources later, remember to keep some for my grandson.

With that, he glanced thoughtfully and continued:

“Oh, and I went to the Chaos Floating-land not long ago and coincidentally encountered the Moro Race hiding inside. These are from the underground base of the Moro Race I obtained.”

After saying that, he took out the complete schematic of the Moro Distant Void Armor, including a scaled-down model of the Fifth-Tier Moro Distant Void Armor, shrunk to just tens of meters high by the Scale-Reduction Device.

The few elders were momentarily stunned by his sudden words. After they finished viewing the transmission of the Moro Distant Void Armor schematic, smiles quickly appeared on everyone’s faces.

The schematic for the Moro Distant Void Armor, which can reach up to Fifth-Tier, if our research department can crack it and even mass produce it, it will become a vital part of the family’s heritage.

Of course, mass production is very difficult. The Moro Distant Void Armor requires a rare spatial resource known as the Fixed-Space Stone. Even though our family had controlled the Moro Secret Realm decades ago, producing large quantities of the Distant Space Stones remains extremely challenging.

High-Rank Void Crystals are not ordinary resources that can be casually obtained. Without High-Rank Void Crystals, it’s impossible to sustain the secret realm’s accelerated time or to continuously acquire its unique treasures.

As for the ready-made Fifth-Tier Moro Distant Void Armor, it’s more a supplement to the family’s current high-level combat strength.

Although the main enemies in the Chaos Sector have been largely cleared, who can guarantee that no Fifth-Tier or even higher-level alien creatures lurk in the shadows?

The family’s fleet will eventually have to move north into the Doomstar Race’s territory. Without high-level combat power stationed on the rear, it’s not feasible.

Originally, everyone was considering how many Fourth-Tier Zhulu-Class Commanders to leave behind, but with the appearance of the Fifth-Tier Moro Distant Void Armor, it would be best to summon a Fifth-Tier Moro Race member from the Dragon-Spine Continent, enslave him using the slave parts, and station him there.

Song Xingru: Little Chi, you can go back to Dragon-Spine Continent anytime, right? Your task to bring that Fifth-Tier Moro Race member is now assigned to you. As for your reward, the family will fully support you in gathering resources like Black Hole Cores, Escape Stones, and Fifth-Tier Void Crystals—completely free.

……

Time flew by, and four years passed in the blink of an eye.

Thanks to the continuous efforts of the Song Fleet to clear and develop the western Chaos Sector, the region is now mostly under the family’s control after over four years.

That day, while sitting cross-legged aboard the Heavenly Ruin, Song Chi suddenly opened his eyes. A reminder was received from the recently loaded Long-Range Communication Disk.

Communication Sub-Disk (1): Little Chi, we’ve found quite a few Escape Stones. Do you still need some on your side?

Main Communication Disk: I need them. Hurry over!

Song Chi thought for a moment. He remembered giving the first sub-disk to Elder Tianmang. Currently, Song Tianmang is overseeing the cleanup and development of Level 3 ‘No Light’ Floating-land.

Thinking of this, his gaze shifted to a detailed star map of the western Chaos Sector. Simultaneously, he controlled the Heavenly Ruin to rise from the Level 5 Starry Floating-land, then jumped to the No Light Floating-land.

I must say, these Super-Distance Communication Disks are really convenient.

After upgrading to Level 50, the communication range of this red component expanded from 0.2 light-years to 20,000 light-years. At the same time, the number of communicable sub-disks increased to six. Currently, Grandfather, Father, Song Tings, several elders, and Song Dingbang each hold one, allowing instant communication at critical moments.

As for the Market’s Guest Orders and Travel Orders, it’s not that he’s unwilling to give his parents or family. The Omniverse Market involves too much, and keeping some secrets makes it safer.

Regarding informing Shen Youran, it’s simply because of limited options. Unlike him who often stays with his parents and elders, Shen Youran is too far away. Without the Market Token, real-time communication or meetings with her is difficult.

Even so, Shen Youran took out a ‘Vow Contract’ component and proactively requested a confidentiality agreement.

Buzzing!

As the Aurora Jump Drive activated, the Heavenly Ruin quickly arrived at the No Light Floating-land.

As a Level 3 Floating-land, No Light Floating-land measures just ten million kilometers in diameter. The highest alien creatures inside are only Level 3. It shouldn’t have triggered Song Tianmang’s attention. However, because of the Level 3 Peak shield, Song Tianmang only had to make a quick trip.

Now, the shield of No Light Floating-land is shattered. Family starships have begun to extract resources from the Floating-land one after another.

Floating Sky of the Floating-land, the ‘Red Ocean Wave’ quietly hovers, watching the endless transport starships come and go.

So fast? Looks like these Distant Space Stones really work wonders for you!

The moment the communication link was established, Song Tianmang’s voice rang out.

Song Chi chuckled, not denying it.

Distant Space Stones are crucial for further strengthening the Divine Realm Task Platform. After obtaining this golden sacred relic, several years passed without upgrading its level. How could he not be anxious?

Song Tianmang saw the urgency in Song Chi’s eyes and didn’t tease him further. Soon, a beam oftraction brought over a storage capsule.

Almost two thousand…

Scanning the storage capsule, Song Chi’s face lit up with joy.

This many Escape Stones could definitely upgrade the Divine Realm Task Platform to Level 60 or beyond.

Suppressing his excitement, Song Chi asked:

Grandpa Tians, where did these Escape Stones come from?

This question genuinely piqued his curiosity.

As a rare spatial resource, he knew how scarce Escape Stones truly were. Even in the Realm of Yaoguang Star Tower, only the secrets vaults of eighth-level powers contained a few hundred. It was incredibly rare.

Normally, a Level 3 Floating-land wouldn’t produce so many Escape Stones. How could there be so many?

Unless…

Could it be a secret realm?

Hearing his quiet guess, Song Tianmang nodded with a smile.

Exactly, it’s a secret realm—a shattered, low-level one. The environment inside is heavily damaged, leaving only this ‘Escape Stone’ deposit. No other resources were found.

This secret realm is controlled by a small alien faction on No Light Floating-land. You’re quite lucky—this faction has no trading channels, so it took years for them to accumulate nearly two thousand stones.

Hearing that, Song Chi was momentarily surprised. He gently raised a large storage capsule. Soon, he was about to extract the corresponding Floating-land origin, but…

However, Song Tianmang stopped him first.

Stop, stop! We agreed that this was a reward for returning the Moro Distant Void Armor schematic and Fifth-Tier Distant Void Armor. That’s already a loss for you. Later, the family will grant you a batch of gold merit points!

Seeing his firm stance, Song Chi didn’t continue arguing. The two privately chatted for a while before returning to the Galactic Floating-land.

Since enough Escape Stones are available, he was eager to upgrade the Divine Realm Task Platform to Level 6. That way, in the next Market trade, they could offer this powerful new marketplace feature to the starry alien races entering the Market.

The Extra Configuration Zone of the Omniverse Market.

Currently, a Level 47 Market has 20 extra slots. Including the configurations loaded into the Divine Realm Task Platform, only three are occupied. But now, only 13 slots remain empty.

That’s because the Level 5 Sacred Realm Blue Diamond takes up five slots by itself.

Without paying too much attention, Song Chi quickly began the upgrade.

Should I consume 6 Fourth-Tier Floating-land Origins, 150,000 Shadow Nuclei points, 125 Titanium Crystals, 6 Law Stones, and 61 Escape Stones to upgrade the Divine Realm Task Platform from Level 40 to 41?

Confirm!

In the end, he used 1,470 Escape Stones and successfully upgraded the platform to Level 60.

Seeing over 400 Escape Stones left, he had no intention of holding back. He upgraded it another five levels, leaving the platform at Level 65.

Afterward, he checked the remaining Titanium Crystals and Level 6 Floating-land Origins, then applied them to the ‘Yin-Yang Counter-Phase Annihilation Shield,’ which was currently at Level 63.

Once the Titanium Crystals and Level 6 Floating-land Origins were nearly depleted, the shield reached Level 67—just two levels shy of the maximum upgrade for the Zhulu-class Cruiser.

But this also turned him into a broke man again. Well… he’s still rich in Level 5 and below Floating-land Origins, with over ten billion units already acquired. Recently, he even gave Wang Zhen several hundred million units to buy rare starry treasures.

At this point, with four years passed, the family had accumulated nearly ten years’ worth of steady income. If he claimed it now, he’d have a large resource boost once again.

Besides, with over four years gone, the entire Morningstar Duchy fleet is preparing for the northern expedition into the Doomstar Race territory. Not having high-level combat power stationed at the back isn’t acceptable.

They had just taken down the Moro Family’s lair not long ago. Without this, where would the resources to upgrade the Hyper-Communication Disk, Divine Realm Task Platform, and Yin-Yang Counter-Phase Shield come from?

Yet, despite all that, after just upgrading three parts, his funds ran out again.

The good news is that the family has accumulated nearly a decade’s worth of subsidies over the years. If he claims those now, it will add a significant amount of resources to his stockpile.

On top of that, after more than four years, the deadline set by the Yaohan Kingdom is nearing. In the next two months, the Song family, including the entire Morningstar Duchy fleet, will be preparing to head north.
