Global Era of Star trekking

```

Of course, understanding is one thing, but resonance is impossible. Since my birth, I've never even seen a shadow of the family, let alone heard of it until after my awakening. Naturally, I couldn't hold any resonance, and the same goes for the other younger members of the family.

After all, even Song Qi, the eldest among his generation, was born after leaving the Dinghai Star Domain.

As grandfather's voice trailed off, the engines of the Furious Lion softly roared and then sped off in one direction.

Tens of thousands of kilometers behind the Furious Lion, several cruisers with kilometer-long hulls closely followed.

In the communications group of the three cruisers, there was a rapid discussion taking place.

"Big brother, that's the direction of the spatial gate to the Dinghai Star Domain. Could it be that the cruiser contains people from the Dinghai Song Family?"

"I also feel it's iffy. My gut tells me there's a high probability that they're members of the Dinghai Song Family. Not just anyone can produce a Fourth-Rank Floating Land Origin!"

"Should we just forget it? That Apocalyptic Annihilation Cannon is tempting, but we need to be alive to use it. The Dinghai Song Family is famously protective!"

"Besides, if the other party has already installed it, the chances of us sinking them and seizing that shipborne main cannon are extremely slim!"

In the midst of this continuous exchange, the three rapidly moving cruisers slowly reduced their speed, signaling that they had given up on the idea of an ambush.

...

Inside the Furious Lion, Song Mingsong's mouth twitched in the moment the three cruisers behind him gave up the chase. He had noticed it immediately and whispered to the communication projection beside him:

"All set, boss. They've given up the chase. I'll take the Furious Lion and go ahead. You catch up as fast as you can."

A few tens of thousands of meters to the side, the Mountain—whose Void Membrane, a blue component, had been enhanced to the lv39 limit—was silently following. If those three cruisers truly dared to make a move, the unperceived Mountain could have caught them off guard.

Coupled with the Furious Lion, now equipped with the Apocalyptic Annihilation Cannon, they wouldn't fear a two against three matchup.

Yes, after snapping up the Apocalyptic Annihilation Cannon for more than one thousand strands of Third-Rank Floating Land Origin and ten strands of Fourth-Rank Floating Land Origin, would Song Mingsong not be prepared for being tracked?

And knowing he was being tracked, how could he not have readied responses? It was just that he had been pretending to be unaware all along.

But those three cruisers were indeed cautious. Merely suspecting a connection between the Furious Lion and the Dinghai Song Family, they immediately ceased their actions. Perhaps this caution was the reason they had managed to rise to command cruisers.

As Song Mingsong finished speaking, the Furious Lion's engines operated at full power, and the purple thruster at the rear of the warship also worked to its fullest, pushing the Furious Lion to a frightening speed.

As for the Mountain, although it was also equipped with a Purple Engine and thrusters, its enhancement level was far less than that of the Furious Lion, so naturally, it could not match its speed and was soon left behind.

When the two ships reconvened, several days had passed.

To the northern side of the Golden Lion Star Domain, there was also a Level 3 life-type Floating Land. It was no coincidence; most of the spatial stargates within the Duchy were set up near high-level life-type Floating Lands to promote the Duchy's economy.

This time, the Song Family members didn't stay long on the Floating Land called Golden Lion 002 as their timing was perfect. It had been just over two days since the spatial gate was last activated, with the next transportation cycle happening in less than half a day.

Soon, half a day passed, and the spatial gate leading to the northernmost part of the Dinghai Star Domain was once again activated.

The Chenxing Principality was founded 5,200 years ago. At its inception, the principality's domain consisted only of the Golden Dragon, Golden Wind, and Golden Horn Star Domains. It was through numerous expeditions and the autonomous exploration by the major families within the principality that the current Twelve Star Domains were formed.

The Dinghai Star Domain, at the northernmost point, was developed by the Dinghai Song Family two thousand years ago. It was this successful expansion that earned the head of the Dinghai Song Family the hereditary title of Earl of Dinghai, with the Star Domain being granted as an autonomous region to the Song Family.

When it was first settled, the Dinghai Star Domain spanned just a few hundred light-years in diameter, making it the smallest Star Domain in the principality.

After two thousand years of relentless development, the domain has now grown to over two thousand light-years in diameter, with hundreds of life-filled Floating Lands, over a thousand barren and resource-rich Floating Lands, and a population nearing one hundred billion.

Despite still being the smallest Star Domain in the principality, the prosperity of the Dinghai Star Domain after two thousand years of development is by no means inferior to the other domains and, in some respects, even surpasses them.

Listening carefully to their father's detailed introduction to the Dinghai Song Family and the Dinghai Star Domain, Song Chi and the younger generation listened with great earnestness, their eyes sparkling with intrigue and hearts stirred with excitement.

Though they were not born in the Dinghai Star Domain, just these few sentences allowed everyone to sense the grandeur within: the colossal feat of establishing a new territory for the principality and Torch Human Civilization solely through one family's efforts, which instinctively evoked a profound sense of exhilaration.

At the same time, it kindled a sense of pride in Song Chi and the others for their origins within the Dinghai Song Family.

Seeing his words had achieved their preliminary effect, Song Chao took the opportunity to continue telling the younger members of his family more stories about the Dinghai Song Family.

He did this because, compared to the other families in the principality, the Dinghai Song Family had the most revered family traditions. Strengthening kinship and loyalty to the family was the fundamental reason the Song Family had been able to progress so rapidly and enhance its influence and heritage over the past two thousand years.

As branches of the Song Family, Song Mingsong, Song Chao, and others naturally wished for their juniors to feel a deep-rooted sense of identification with the Song Family, and not merely be strangers bound together by blood.

As they spoke, everyone on the Furious Lion shifted their gaze outside the warship.

Song Chi also paused, fixing his gaze on a part of space not far from the Spatial Teleportation Star Gate.

Unlike the other Star Domains of the Chenxing Principality, all the Spatial Stargates connecting the Dinghai Star Domain with other domains were set up together, right behind the area the Furious Lion had just passed through.

A dozen Spatial Stargates were arranged in a ring, forming a massive transfer station in this dark expanse of space. The station's spherical central base had a diameter spanning hundreds of thousands of kilometers, big enough to support the orderly transport and docking of a million warships.

This gigantic transfer station, slightly smaller than the one in the Duchy Capital Golden Lion Star Domain, is ranked second in the principality.

Because of its vast scale and the countless number of Torch Warships it welcomes every day, the Dinghai Song Family has stationed a dedicated family fleet outside this base station and specially equipped it with two Mobile Warstars, each nearly ten thousand meters in diameter.

What captured the attention of Song Chi and the others were these two spherically shaped behemoths, their surfaces covered in grim black armor and studded with numerous ports of various sizes.

Compared to Torch Warships, these machines were more aptly called war machines, the steel behemoths of the Starry Sea.

Seeing everyone fixated on the two Mobile Warstars, eyes filled with awe, Song Chao softly explained:

"Primary Mobile Warstars, equipped with medium-sized controllable nuclear fusion reactors, intermediate nuclear energy shield generators, Type III Imperial Super Railguns, and possess regular Fourth-Rank Combat Power."

"These are also one of Torchlight Humanity's few high-rank combat units aside from Torch Warships."

Hearing the words "Mobile Warstar," the sparkle in Song Chi and the others' eyes grew even more intense. They had only read about such war machines in textbooks, but seeing them in person was far more shocking than anything they could have imagined.
