"Attribute description? Void Energy?"
"Could it be the Void Energy I gained control of after awakening the Kindling Seed that triggered this mutation?"
"Also, this Star Sea Market Token is actually a Star Sea Marvel—and a growth-type one I've never even heard of. Still, the name sounds pretty impressive."
Countless thoughts surfaced in Song Chi's mind. Then, another flash of inspiration struck him.
He focused his mind and began drawing upon the small amount of Void Energy within him, gathering it in his right palm before slowly injecting it into the token in his hand.
The next moment, a sudden change occurred.
A powerful pulling force enveloped his entire body. Song Chi immediately sensed danger, but before he could stop channeling Void Energy, intense dizziness flooded his mind.
Suppressing the urge to vomit, he immediately opened his eyes and rapidly swept his gaze around several times.
Only after confirming that there was no danger nearby did he relax slightly. Even then, he did not dare lower his guard completely, because he had already determined one thing: he was no longer in his bedroom, but in a completely unfamiliar place.
Once the violent nausea in his stomach had fully subsided, Song Chi finally began carefully examining his surroundings.
At that moment, warmth radiated from the bronze Star Sea Market Token still clenched tightly in his hand. Just as he lowered his head to inspect it, a stream of unfamiliar information suddenly appeared in his mind.
Name: None Market Ruins Owner: Song Chi Level: lv0 Dimensions: 100m x 100m Basic Facilities: 10 vacant shops, 1 10m x 10m street-stall area, 1 one-story inn (accommodates 10 people), 1 lv0 All-Attribute Cultivation Room (doubles efficiency when cultivating Void Energy), 1 lv0 Void Energy Protective Array, 1 lv0 Ultra-Long Range Random Space Gate Deployment Platform. Additional Facilities: None (0/2) Trait: Disaster Evasion (can move freely through the void, instinctively avoiding natural disasters) Upgrade Requirements: 10 strands of Floating Continent Essence (Zero Rank), total Market Ruins transaction volume of 100 strands of Floating Continent Essence (Zero Rank) Note: An inconspicuous little Market Ruins located on the dark side of the Shattered Star Sea. It appears to allow only creatures below First Rank to enter, though it has considerable potential.
Several minutes later, after Song Chi had roughly sorted through the information in his mind, his eyes gradually lit up, and the excitement in his heart became impossible to describe.
He turned around and looked beyond the semicircular Void Energy barrier behind him. Outside lay a boundless expanse of pitch-black void.
Far in the distance, terrifying Void Storms swept past with howls. Dense spatial cracks trailed in their wake, tearing space itself apart. Song Chi's scalp went numb at the sight.
As far as he knew, tearing apart space was something only Kindling Starships strengthened to an extremely high level could achieve. Yet in this pitch-black void, storms capable of such destruction seemed to be everywhere.
However, he quickly thought of something else, and the fear in his eyes slowly faded.
Based on the information he had sorted out, the place he now stood in was a special secret realm drifting within a void rift on the dark side of the Shattered Star Sea. It was said to be the creation of an ancient civilization that called itself the "Immortal Domain."
Because a mighty figure from that "Ancient Immortal Domain Civilization" had installed a rare Ultra-Long Range Random Space Gate Deployment Platform here, this place had always served as a trading Market Ruins connecting far-flung regions.
Furthermore, it possessed the rare trait of "Disaster Evasion," allowing it to autonomously avoid Void Storms within the spatial rifts. This was also the fundamental reason it had been able to drift through the void for countless tens of thousands of years.
Only after thinking of this trait did Song Chi finally feel completely at ease.
According to what he knew, this Market Ruins had remained without an owner for tens of thousands of years before him. The fact that it had not been destroyed by Void Storms over such a long period was enough to demonstrate the power of its "Disaster Evasion" trait.
After completely putting his worries aside, he began inspecting the entire Market Ruins. Perhaps because it had consumed enormous amounts of energy in the void without receiving any replenishment, this once-prosperous Market Ruins Secret Realm had shrunk to its limit after tens of thousands of years. Its length, width, and height were each no more than a hundred meters, making it pitifully small.
Along both sides of its only street, ten storefronts, one inn, and the street-stall area were evenly distributed.
At the far end of the street on the left was the only All-Attribute Cultivation Room in the Market Ruins. Opposite it stood the most crucial structure in the entire Market Ruins—
the Ultra-Long Range Random Space Gate Deployment Platform.
As his gaze fell upon these two special buildings, Song Chi quickly received their detailed attributes.
Name: All-Attribute Cultivation Room Level: lv0 Effect: When cultivating inside the cultivation room, cultivation speed increases by 200%. When cultivating Void Energy, cultivation speed increases by 400%. Capacity: Single-person cultivation room Note: An ultra-high-spec cultivation room created by a mighty figure of the Star Sea's "Immortal Domain Civilization." After being modified with the special energy known as "Void Energy," cultivating Void Energy within it receives an additional boost. Upgrade Requirements: Market Ruins level lv1, 10 strands of Floating Continent Essence (Zero Rank) ... Name: Ultra-Long Range Random Space Gate Deployment Platform Level: lv0 Effect: Once activated, it randomly deploys 10 space gates throughout the Shattered Star Sea that can be used to enter and leave the Market Ruins. The space gates remain active for 24 hours and have a cooldown period of 720 hours. Space Gate Restriction: Due to the Market Ruins' current rank, Star Sea lifeforms of First Rank and above cannot currently pass through the space gates. Note: A miraculous structure created by a mighty figure of the Star Sea's "Immortal Domain Civilization." Its function is extraordinary. Upgrade Requirements: Market Ruins level lv1, 10 strands of Floating Continent Essence (Zero Rank) ...
After reading the attributes of both, Song Chi was eager to give the Ultra-Long Range Random Space Gate Deployment Platform a try.
Because of the Star Sea Market Token, he was now the new owner of this Market Ruins. It could be said that within the Market Ruins, he controlled all its rules. As long as no creature above the Market Ruins' own rank entered, he was practically invincible here.
Now that he knew he faced no danger of any kind, he naturally wanted to test the Market Ruins' core function: connecting different starfields of the Shattered Star Sea and communicating and trading with all kinds of alien Star Sea civilizations.
And he could not forget that future upgrades for the Market Ruins also required a specific amount of "transaction volume."
Unless he was content with its current tiny 100m x 100m size and only trading with Zero Rank Star Sea alien races from now on, he would have to use this space gate deployment platform regularly.
After hesitating for a long while, he ultimately suppressed the impulse in his heart.
