Chapter 1034: Chapter 542: Obtaining the 【Time Chessboard】, Specific Distinctions of Colorful Mythical Quality_2

Under Song Chi’s deliberate control, the Purple Mist Palm began to slowly retract with the [Time Chessboard] in hand.

Sizzle---

Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong’s hatch opened, and finally, the White Jade Chessboard, emitting dazzling seven-colored light, was pushed inside the warship by the Purple Mist Palm.

"That’s it? It succeeded?"

Even after the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong’s hatch closed again, Song Chi, who remained in the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, couldn’t shake off a profound sense of unreality, feeling as if his perception had made a mistake.

He truly hadn’t expected the final retrieval step to go so smoothly, so smoothly, in fact, that it was hard for him to believe.

But upon reconsidering, he found that it actually seemed quite reasonable.

After all, the extent of terrifying power flowing from this component’s time energy was beyond imagination. Just think: if not for Song Chi, who bore both the Zhu Tian Ruins Market and the Shaking Light Star Rank, who could possibly break through such terrifying time fields and reach the [Time Chessboard]?

Even for an Eighth Rank Star Sea Dominator specializing in the Time Law, it would likely be an insurmountable challenge, wouldn’t it?

And since the hardest, most impossible task was already accomplished, the rest naturally fell into place without resistance.

At this moment, Song Chi also noticed that the horrifying power of time surrounding him was rapidly diminishing, indirectly confirming that the [Time Chessboard] had indeed been stored within the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong.

Song Chi dared not return directly to the warship. Instead, using his Ethereal Body, he observed the White Jade Chessboard stored within the cabin from a distance.

He feared that even after being absorbed into the warship, this time artifact of alarmingly high quality might still unreservedly release its time energy without undergoing any transformation.

But it appeared he had overthought the matter.

Inside the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong’s cabin, he saw Spectral Energy begin to converge toward the White Jade Chessboard, emanating from the warship’s structure. This was Spectral Energy autonomously transforming the Starry Sea Oddity.

Before long, as a faint strand of Spectral Energy merged into the White Jade Chessboard, all the time energy within the warship instantly vanished.

The Ethereal Body regained its ability to move.

Under Song Chi’s control, the Ethereal Body slowly approached the White Jade Chessboard, streams of Spectral Energy surging from his form and making contact with the chessboard’s surface.

At the same time, a new attribute panel appeared before Song Chi in the Ruins Market.

[Strange Object: Time Chessboard]

[Quality: Colorful/Upper]

[Convertible: {Time Chessboard}]

[Note: A supremely renowned temporal treasure from the Multiverse Era, it underwent eons of baptism after the Multiverse shattered, eventually becoming one of the Colorful Mythical Artifacts.]

In that moment, Song Chi’s breath was entirely suspended.

After a long pause, his returned composure was reflected in the radiant glow in his eyes.

"A Colorful Upper Artifact!"

As far as he knew, Colorful Mythical Quality artifacts were divided into three ranks.

Colorful Lower, Colorful Upper, and Colorful Extreme Position.

The first Colorful Artifact he’d ever encountered was the [Shaking Light Star Tower] within the [Civilization Great Wall]. If his memory served him right, even the [Civilization Great Wall] was merely the lowest-tier Colorful Lower Mythical Artifact.

In other words, the [Time Chessboard] before him now surpassed the [Civilization Great Wall] by an entire rank.

Just that fact alone was enough to exhilarate him.

As for it being convertible into a warship component? That part didn’t surprise him at all. After all, the [Time Chess] component’s attribute description had already hinted at this possibility.

Suppressing his excitement, Song Chi promptly steered his gaze toward the attribute panel for the [Time Chessboard] warship component.

Time Chessboard lv0

Quality: Colorful/Upper

Features: Reduces the universal cooldown time of all warship components by 35%

Feature 2: +1600 Time Resistance

Feature 3: Time·Chess

Feature 4: Time·Chessboard

Feature 5: Time·Chess Game

Feature 6: Time·Prison

Feature 7: Enhances comprehension of Time Laws within the warship by 230%

Feature 8: Nine-Life Life and Death Chess

Consumption: 200/s (Spectral Energy Points)

No charging or buffering required

Effect: The equipped warship becomes immune to over 99% of external time energy effects.

Upgrade Requirement: 200 strands of Floating Land Origin (Zero Rank), 20,000 Spectral Energy Points, 5 Time Fragments

Note: This component occupies 20 slot spaces

{Time·Chess: The Time Chessboard contains 361 chess pieces, each imbued with formidable temporal power and extraordinary capabilities. If pieces suffer loss or damage, the Time Chessboard will automatically generate a new piece every year (Current number of pieces: 361, all scattered externally, can be summoned back at will)}

{Time·Chessboard: By consuming a specified number of Time Chess pieces (at least 36) and Spectral Energy Points (consumption increases with the number of pieces used), it is possible to condense a Time Chessboard in the starry void. Any non-allied beings within the chessboard domain will be affected by time acceleration or deceleration effects (specific time multiplier depends on the number of pieces used: 36 pieces for 10x, 72 pieces for 20x, and so on), lasting 10 minutes, cooldown time 720 hours.}

{Time·Chess Game: Consumes 300,000 Spectral Energy Points, pulling designated units whose Life Ranks do not exceed the component’s Enhancement Rank into a high-dimensional chess game along with the warship itself. Enemy units entering the high-dimensional chess game will have their strength forcibly reduced by one Great Rank, lasting one hour, cooldown time 100 years.}

{Time·Prison: By consuming a specified number of Time Chess pieces and Spectral Energy Points, designated units whose Life Rank does not exceed the component’s Enhancement Rank can be sealed in a prison of absolute temporal stagnation. The duration of the prison depends on the number of Time Chess pieces consumed (36 pieces for a thousand years, 72 pieces for two thousand years, and so on). Note: No external forces can harm the sealed entities inside the Time Prison.}

{Nine-Life Life and Death Chess: The 361st piece on the Time Chessboard is the special Nine-Life Chess, sealing immense Life and Death Power. It can be used for absolute resurrection or annihilation of a designated unit (target’s Life Rank cannot exceed the component’s Enhancement Rank). However, with each activation, the Nine-Life Chess will fracture slightly; after nine uses, it will completely shatter, at which point the feature will transform into a new random feature.}

The attributes of this component were almost absurdly numerous.

But after taking it all in, Song Chi had already pushed such thoughts to the back of his mind.

"So this is what a Colorful Mythical Artifact is... absolutely unparalleled!"

Without a doubt, the attributes of this [Time Chessboard] component were overwhelmingly astonishing.

Setting aside the fact that the warship would no longer be affected by over 99% of external time energy after installation, its various features were each more incredible than the last.

To begin with, a starting universal cooldown reduction of 35%—just imagine what this meant. Once the component was Enhanced to the Seventh Rank, this cooldown reduction would directly soar to 70%.

This applied universally to all components equipped on the warship. If pushed to ultimate limits in the future, the cooldown reduction could reach an awe-inspiring 90%.

Next, the "Time·Chessboard" feature—its effects far exceeded those of the "Pusuo Time Realm," and yet its cooldown period was significantly shorter.

As for "Time·Chess Game" and "Time·Prison," there’s no need to elaborate further. Forcing an enemy’s strength to drop by an entire Great Rank, or sealing an enemy for up to ten thousand years—every single effect was nothing short of godlike.

Moreover, he thought of another use for the "Time·Prison." For example, sealing a gravely injured or life-weary loved one until a solution for their condition emerged in the future—it was entirely feasible.

The most outrageous feature had to be the final "Nine-Life Life and Death Chess." This feature effectively granted him nine opportunities to rewrite entries in Yama’s Book of Life and Death: he could directly destroy designated enemies or resurrect himself and the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong.

This far surpassed the [Time Realm Fruit], which could only be used during warship upgrades—a true possession of nine lives.

Whew!

Song Chi let out a long breath, his eyes brimming with an uncontrollable purple glow.

Faced with these earth-shattering features, the requirement of occupying 20 slot spaces barely registered in Song Chi’s mind.

What did 20 slot spaces even mean compared to such heaven-defying attributes?

PS: Well, doesn’t it live up to the words "Colorful Myth"?
