Global Era of Star trekking

Chapter 1428: Chapter 733: Shenxia 9-Li’s Final Preparations for Reaching Tier 10_3

In the past twenty years, the name of the Dragon Spine Song Family has spread throughout the Torch Human Civilization Territory.

However, the root cause does not lie with the Dragon Spine Kingdom itself. Over these decades, the applications received by the Torch Ancestral Court of the Four Great Empires for the establishment of kingdoms and the elevation of duchies have been numerous.

According to rough statistics, in less than a century after the end of the civilization war, the Torch Human Civilization has grown from just over a hundred kingdoms to one hundred and sixty, and it’s imaginable that this number will continue to rise in the following millennia.

Among these dozens of newly established kingdoms, the Dragon Spine Song Family should not logically stand out too much.

The reason, naturally, lies in the merits established by the Song Family itself.

Decades ago, that super reward shocked countless people and countless forces. Coupled with the original attention the Song Family received for their opportunistic achievements, these two factors combined to create the current situation.

...

Dragon Spine Continent, Dragon Spine Sacred Mountain, Dragon Whale Hall.

In the depths of the Chaos Mist, several figures sat respectively on Starry Thrones and Golden Thrones.

From their silhouettes, apart from Song Shiyuan at the head of the hall, all others were in a projection state, with their true selves not present.

However, this did not affect the current exchange among everyone.

"The above summarizes the current situation in the Dragon and Snake River System. Any suggestions, feel free to share!"

"The immigration speed is still too slow. Can we accelerate interstellar immigration further?"

"I’m afraid that’s not possible. Although ever since the completion of the migration on the Dragon Spine Continent, we have deliberately promoted the childbirth plan across the entire Red Plate River System, but after all, these are brand new Life Floating Lands, unlike those of the Chenxing Kingdom which have been modified for hundreds or even thousands of years. For various reasons, the death rate of the immigrated Torch citizens is not low. Up until now, the population in the entire Red Plate River System has barely exceeded ten trillion."

"This immigration speed is already the extreme under the premise of ensuring effective growth of the Torch citizen base in the Red Plate River System. Increased immigration would decrease the citizen count there."

"Then what about our Song Family members? The Dragon and Snake River System is vast. How could merely ten billion members migrating be enough?"

"Ever since incorporating the Red Plate River System, hasn’t there been an order to increase the number of family members?"

"At the time, we did not expect to add another entire river system to the territory, so the family member base was only increased from ten billion to twenty billion. Now, half of them have already been relocated."

Upon hearing this, Song Wujiang, sitting at the very center of the Starry Throne above, spoke:

"Two river systems; nominally, the entire Dragon and Snake River System belongs to our Song Family. Even if we occupy only the wealthiest six to seven hundred thousand light-year Star Domain of the Dragon and Snake River System, twenty billion people are far from sufficient. Let’s increase the family member base upper limit again, from twenty billion to sixty billion!"

"Alright, I will instruct accordingly as soon as possible. With the current base population of twenty billion, it shouldn’t take long!"

"Additionally, the number of kingdom citizens is also far from enough. Given the carrying capacity of the Red Plate River System, tens of trillions wouldn’t be a strain, and only with an increased population base can the kingdom generate more wealth."

...

After discussing matters related to the Red Plate River System and the Dragon and Snake River System, the topic shifted to other river systems in the Eight-Armed Snake Demon Galaxy Cluster.

Song Shiyuan said:

"Through years of negotiations with those other Immortal Clans, the territories we sporadically occupied in other river systems have all been transferred to the Copper Snake and Spirit Snake River Systems."

"The Copper Snake River System is where the Mist Swamp and Mist Half-Snake People reside, while the Spirit Snake River System contains the Young Snake Floating Land. We occupy a Star Domain of thirty thousand light-years in the Copper Snake River System and over a hundred thousand light-years in the Spirit Snake River System."

"Additionally, in this exchange process, we have managed to secure several plots of land on the capital Floating Lands of six river systems. The Dominator powers of those river systems have agreed to designate the lands we acquired as public open zones. Subsequently, we can leverage these lands to establish trading cities, thereby garnering more benefits."

...

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Amidst the ongoing exchanges in the Dragon Whale Hall, a deep engine roar suddenly came from outside. Once the sound dissipated, a figure quickly passed through the Chaos Mist and entered everyone’s view in the hall.

Recognizing the newcomer, Song Chi’s illusory projection laughed:

"Hahaha, big brother, did you manage to secure the deal?"

Hearing this laughter, Song Yan, who had just entered the hall, shook his head helplessly and said:

"Secure what deal? I haven’t even met them yet."

This made Song Chi laugh even more heartily.

In fact, he was deeply sympathetic, as it wasn’t only Song Yan who had been troubled by this matter for decades.

This is actually an inevitable result of the rise to fame of the Dragon Spine Song Family. In recent decades, representatives from various established Immortal powers have continuously visited in person.

Their purpose for visiting was none other than to discuss with the Song Family either the construction of an Acquired Space Wormhole or marriage alliances.

The most popular was naturally big brother Song Yan. As the only unwed Annihilation Starship Captain among the four current captains of the Dragon Spine Song Family, most of the visiting Immortal powers were inquiring about Song Yan’s intentions, with even some Immortal Giant Forces visiting.

In addition, there was Song Chi.
