Until he officially activated, Jiang Yi's call only belatedly reached his ears.
Centered on the miniaturized Shenxia Jiuli Ship, the time within a vast surrounding area suddenly reversed.
Soon, the initially completely dimmed Shenxia Jiuli Ship regained its luster, and everything within this spatial scope returned to 9 seconds ago.
At this moment, it coincided with the critical moment when the star energy tide of the Demon God Floating Land surged to its strongest.
Following Emperor Jiang's precise grasp of this node, the second advancement of the Shenxia Jiuli Ship officially commenced.
Perhaps it was due to bad luck, even though both attempts had a 50% success rate, the Shenxia Jiuli Ship continuously failed.
The trio, whose eyes were initially filled with hopeful light, found their gaze darken once again as the ship dimmed.
Fortunately, they had a third chance.
Without needing a reminder, at the moment the Shenxia Jiuli Ship dimmed again, Jiang Yi activated the Mirror Image Time Chessboard mounted on his flagship.
Above the light globe of the Demon God Floating Land Origin Core, the Shenxia Jiuli Ship once again regained its fluorescence.
However, compared to last time, the success rate of advancement was 0.5% lower.
Emperor Jiang remained very calm, swiftly initiating the formal advancement of the battleship for the third time.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
The hull of the Shenxia Jiuli Ship continued to emit waves of slight tremors, yet the trio on one side did not heed them at all.
All three held their breath, their breathing completely halted, eyes fixed intently on the Shenxia Jiuli Ship ahead.
This was already the third attempt, and the last one. If it failed again, it would be a massive disaster for the entire Torch Human Civilization.
Although both the methods of Emperor Jiang and the "Twelve Lives Life and Death Chess" feature of the two Time Chessboards were enough to ensure the safety of the Shenxia Jiuli Ship,
those extra advancement resources consumed, the civilization fortune gathered over the past centuries, and the Eight-Armed Demon God's Divine Blood, among others, would be irrecoverable, meaning that the Torch Civilization's tens of thousands, or even more than a hundred thousand years of planning and accumulation, would be destroyed in an instant.
This was absolutely not a result that the entire Torch Civilization wished to see.
Especially now, with the addition of a formidable foe from the peak clan Chaos Demon Ape, the Torch Human Civilization urgently needed a Mythical Power to hold the line.
Otherwise, it was uncertain how many years Torch Civilization's overall strength would roll back after this instance.
It wasn't even impossible for them to suffer a setback never to recover from.
After all, the current Human Emperor City was confronted by the Unity of the Chaos Demon Ape Clan, Blood Evil Clan, and Dark Moon Clan, and without the intervention of the Wizard Civilization, Human Emperor City had almost no possibility of holding out.
What would make the Overlord Level Wizard Civilization intervene?
No outsider knew.
But one thing was certain: as long as the Torch Human Civilization could give birth to a Tenth Rank Mythical Level Torch Warship, the Wizard Civilization would not stand idly by.
...
Amidst the flickering eyes of the three in the Earth Core Space, the Shenxia Jiuli Ship above the Floating Land Origin Core finally responded once more.
It was this tiny disturbance that made Song Chi's eyes gleam with brilliance alongside the others.
"Expansion, the warship is swelling!"
"It succeeded! Three chances, and it finally succeeded!"
...
The voices of excitement came from Song Chi and Jiang Yi, while below, although Emperor Jiang did not speak, Song Chi also caught the undisguisable joy deep in his eyes.
This was the first Torch Warship of the Torch Human Civilization to successfully advance to the Tenth Rank.
After a long 300,000 years, the Torch Human Civilization finally gave birth to its unique first Mythical Warship.
This not only meant that in the future, they would no longer be constrained at every turn.
It also signified that the Torch Warship System's path was unbroken, and all future Torch Warships could potentially step into the realm of myths if they followed the appropriate steps.
Even if the probability of this was one in a hundred million, the difference between zero and one was indescribable.
A complete supernatural system leading directly to the Mythical Rank, this was the foundation for a civilization's sustainable growth.
In the prior 300,000 years, although the strength of the Torch Civilization had risen remarkably, as long as there was no Tenth Rank Mythical Level Torch Warship, there was always a knot in the hearts of the ship captains of the Torch Civilization, feeling inferior regardless of how quickly the civilization developed.
Whether in the Shattered Starry Sea or the Chaos Divine Land, this could not be escaped.
Now, with the successful advancement of the Shenxia Jiuli Ship, all of this would be nullified, and for the entire Torch Human Civilization, a bright future lay close at hand.
Gazing at the continuously expanding hull of the Shenxia Jiuli Ship, Song Chi glanced at Emperor Jiang below.
After a moment of hesitation, he directly asked:
"Your Majesty, have you thought of a specific designation for the Tenth Rank Torch Warship aboard the Superdimensional Mother Ship?"
After asking, Song Chi remained silent, quietly awaiting Emperor Jiang's response.
The Torch Warship System, belonging uniquely to the Torch Human Civilization in the Endless Broken Star Sea, required each ship to be named anew through the Original Fire Seed every time the limit was broken, and not from an existing name.
Whether it be Battleship, Fearless Ship, Star Destroyer, Star River Ship, or Superdimensional Mother Ship, these were named repeatedly over the past 300,000 years after each of the four Emperors broke the limit and after unified deliberation.
Now that the Shenxia Jiuli Ship successfully advanced to the Tenth Rank, it naturally required a new name.
PS: Does anyone have suggestions for the Tenth Rank Torch Warship's designation?
My current setting is "Immortal Ship." How does that sound?
