Chapter 513: Half‑God Expedition! Set Sail!

On the deck of the worldship, steam roared and surged.

The veteran transcendents on duty, after completing their patrol, gathered inside the high tower, resting while bantering about the various recent events.

For example, a certain frontline suffered a massive incursion of alien evil‑god creatures.

For instance, a certain transcendents with insufficient willpower, after fighting on the front line, became contaminated; once discovered, they were treated and barely saved.

Moreover, over the past six months, the increasingly unsettling demi‑god aura has lingered in the core area like a scorching sun.

The demi‑god Ta Ke is said to be so powerful that he already rivals the gods!

Suddenly.

Wooo…

Above the worldship, the roar of steam swelled.

At the same time, deep within the worldship, numerous steam‑chaos star cores ignited in blazing heat.

Soon, a torrent of raw energy experience, like a flood, swept in along the steam Star Net.

And Ta Ke La Mo Er, without doubt, is the master of the steam ecology, the sovereign of the Four‑Tusk Elephant worldship's divine realm.

…………

Immediately, the legendary Titan Knight Lu Ge Er steadied his mind and began to pour his focus into reaching level 220.

Other deities may still require massive raw energy to lay the foundation of their demi‑god bases.

Xi Luo Er smiled.

With sufficient faith power, Ta Ke can use the strength of belief throughout to solidify his divine foundation.

He immediately lifted his head, looked toward the position of the deity star, and shouted.

Inside the academy's high tower, Xi Luo Er, who was consulting an ancient knight's journal, was slightly startled.

The gradually brightening Star Net was illuminating the whole world, as waves of steam energy rose from afar.

Some experienced transcendents had already sensed something.

Feeling the surge of the demi‑god's gift.

One roar of thunder surged over another.

And the other thing he was doing was that Ta Ke La Mo Er formally solidified his own realm within the demi‑god state.

Ta Ke, however, needed none of it.

As a true master of ecology, only within his own divine realm does he have the right to do such a thing.

…………

"What is this?"

When a demi‑god pact is completed, one can to some extent control ecological forces and give back to the members of one's own divine realm.

He then immediately looked out of the tower window.

"Lord Ta Ke, my level 218 can just push for a wave of level 220."

Immediately, a multitude of transcendents sat cross‑legged and began meditative linking with the steam Star Net.

As his words fell.

Ta Ke, firmly perched upon the deity's star.

A surge of steam primal tides, several times larger, swept in.

In an instant, many transcendents understood.

…………

Immediately Xi Luo Er also steadied his mind, preparing to receive the demi‑god's gift.

"Demi‑god gift?"

Legendary Titan Knight Lu Ge Er, seated atop a steam‑chaos star core,

"Demi‑god gift?"

This wave of gifts from the demi‑god ecology and divine realm can, for these mid‑rank transcendents, raise them by at least six or seven levels, possibly even ten.

"Hey kid, stop standing stupidly, quickly link the steam Star Net… this is a demi‑god's gift! Now we're blessed."

Yet as a demi‑god's gift, it can still raise her by two or three tiers, enough to save her a dozen years.

Some young transcendental recruits stared at the scene, stunned!

"Hahaha… thank you, Lord Ta Ke!"

At the same time, their ecology was rapidly propelled forward, and their levels surged upward.

The rich steam primal energy, like sweet rain, spread and blossomed along the steam Star Net.

Even though she was already level 146.

Everyone immersed themselves in the oceanic world of steam primal, greedily absorbing these experiential energies.

While absorbing the massive influx of steam ecological‑faith power, they also treated the accompanying ecological energy as gifts, bestowing them upon the people within the divine realm.

The surplus steam primal energy was used to reinforce the divine realm, nurturing everyone.

Thus the members of the divine realm all enjoyed its great benefits.

Such nurturing allows more transcendents to level up faster.

At the same time, it increases the efficiency of Ta Ke's anchored divine realm's stable development.

"After these six months, the level‑270 has become completely solidified, and can even be upgraded to level 271 now."

"However, I no longer need to upgrade it myself."

"But…"

Ta Ke gently rubbed his palm.

"It requires letting the ecology settle the faith power, so that it upgrades naturally."

"And what I need to do is… to initiate the rites of Expedition and Divine War."

He took a deep breath, and in Ta Ke's eyes, a fierce gleam flickered.

"Then use the power of the rite to propel the condensation of my divinity and the promotion of my rank."

To reach the demigod tier.

More importantly, the Power of Faith.

Whether it's "Life Faith", "Ecological Faith", or "Star Core Faith".

As long as the Power of Faith is sufficiently profound, one can ascend to a high enough tier.

However!

The vast majority of demigods cannot obtain enough Faith Power.

But in Ta Ke's case, it's different.

Ta Ke's Power of Faith is extremely abundant.

A massive number of steam sequence inheritors.

The ever-growing steam‑star‑net ecology.

And, atop the Chaotic Ancient Continent, the steam‑star‑net Chaotic Star Core ecology, already of astonishing scale.

But… gathering Faith, digesting and condensing divinity is very slow.

Divine War is one of the rites that catalyze a deity's promotion.

Expedition is the same.

Catalyzing with a rite is dozens, even hundreds of times faster than one's own slow cultivation!

Ta Ke has become a god now!

The Expedition that Ta Ke has launched will inevitably bear the characteristics of Divine War.

War ecology itself possesses the essential trait of reshaping patterns and catalyzing ecological growth.

In the Transcendent World, as massive war ecology settles.

This grants rites such as Divine War or God‑slaying Expedition an extraordinarily astonishing catalytic effect.

Divine War is the guillotine for fallen deities!

Divine War is also the ladder for deities to climb higher sequences!

Ta Ke raised his palm, and the intersecting threads with An Ri pulsed in his hand.

"Attack is the war's trumpet!"

"Set sail is the beginning of the expedition!"

With that thought, Ta Ke suddenly pinched.

"Chichichi..."

The black and blood‑colored divinity clash vanishes, and this vanishing clash, following the alien black‑mist ecology, continuously seeps deeper.

Ta Ke quietly examined the traces and threads of the vanished clash.

The rites of Expedition and Divine War.

As the divinity clash fades, it silently and officially activates!

…………

The demigod gifts that lasted about a week brought considerable progress to the entire Four‑Tusk Elephant World Vessel.

Afterwards, on the human side, whether it be the Three‑Eyed God, the A Lumo Fu deity, or other demigods and deities.

They have already begun sending, one after another, a contingent of legendary elites, Chao Shen Da Shi, to the Four‑Tusk Elephant World Vessel.

Even the Elf race and the Beastfolk have dispatched some forces.

Demigod Expedition

Ta Ke's Divine War.

Steam ecology confronting alien evil‑god ecology.

Even a Divine War that might clash with the Green Star Tribe.

Such a war.

If they wish to have a share, they must inevitably commit a certain amount of force.

As for the Mechanical races, they themselves are part of the alien black‑mist ecology.

In Ta Ke's Expedition, they are one of the main war forces.

As forces from all sides arrive.

The Four‑Tusk Elephant World Vessel begins to bustle.

At the same time!

The Four‑Tusk Elephant World Vessel also began preparations and planning for the expedition war.

Demigod Expedition target — the alien Ash Star Region!

And there lies the ecological nest region of the three great alien evil gods.

It not only harbors a massive number of powerful alien evil spirits.

It also contains the settled twisted‑mold ecology where evil gods are born.

To this day, bizarre evil spirits continue to be born.

Even if the three great alien evil gods are eradicated, without eliminating that twisted‑mold ecology,

evil spirits will still grow into evil gods, further polluting the Transcendent ecological world that threatens human realms.

Ta Ke's Demigod Expedition.

Not only must the alien evil gods be exterminated, but that twisted‑mold ecology there must be uprooted as well.

And moreover!

The Green Star Tribe can continuously forge passages into the Chaotic Ancient Continent.

Their support within the alien black‑mist ecology is inseparable from those Otherworldly Evil Gods.

Eliminating the Otherworldly Evil Gods also more effectively aids Ta Ke and his companions against the Green Star Tribe.

As long as the Green Star Tribe's entry passages are cut off.

Then!

The incoming Green Star Tribe would be like turtles trapped in a jar.

Of course, the Divine Fortress the Green Star Tribe is currently preparing will also be hard to seize.

With the expedition plan set in motion.

Steam Spirit Realm Startrack.

This ecological power has been activated by Ta Ke.

A massive amount of steam begins to slowly permeate the Spirit Realm layers.

It constructs a fast‑lane Startrack passage.

Entering the Steam Spirit Realm Startrack will swiftly carry one to the ecology zone of the Otherworldly Divine Alliance.

Although the three major Evil Gods of the Otherworldly Divine Alliance are currently mustering forces to resist Ta Ke's steam ecology infiltration.

Yet, with the vanguard Steam Insect Legion continuously invading,

the Otherworldly Divine Alliance's ecological nest appears to be at a complete disadvantage.

Every day, countless Steam Insects, Steam Mechanical hordes, and some Transcendants pass through the Steam Spirit Realm Startrack to the front line.

They build expedition outposts, establish them, and conduct small‑scale offensive battles.

Meanwhile, the Four‑Tusk Elephant Realm Ship also slowly launches, following the Steam Spirit Realm Startrack route toward the Otherworldly Ash Star Zone.

…………

As the expedition progresses.

The ecological war gradually deepens and expands.

Only when the Four‑Tusk Elephant Realm Ship contains ample Divine Kingdom resources and supporting facilities can the war continue.

【Steam·Realm Ship Divine Kingdom Rebirth Pool】

This is the place for baptismal ascension.

Need not mention anything else; Ta Ke currently lacks no Divine Kingdom source energy.

【Ecology Faith Crystal】

【Star Core Faith Crystal】

These are top‑tier resources produced by Ta Ke's Divine Kingdom.

Even the Divine benefit from them to some extent.

For many legendary strongmen, they are even more prized top‑tier treasures.

What most Transcendants love most is Ta Ke's 【Steam Constellation·Divine Kingdom Guard】.

Even though the 【Steam Constellation·Divine Kingdom Guard】 is pricey,

it cannot curb the massive demand from Transcendants.

After all, the Steam Constellation truly is powerful.

It already wields many top‑tier treasure resources, plus feedback power granted by the ecology.

Thus, as the expedition proceeds, the Four‑Tusk Elephant Realm Ship fully enters a positive feedback loop.

The further the war goes, the stronger the Four‑Tusk Elephant Realm Ship becomes.

That day, after Ta Ke preliminarily surveyed the ship's operation and navigation,

the projection of the deity Alumo Fu descended.

"Ta Ke, congratulations on ascending to the Half‑God Realm."

As soon as he arrived, Alumo Fu's divine voice rang out cheerfully.

"The eternity of a weak Half‑God is indeed unstable; now that you've ascended to Half‑God, the Eternal Realm is comparatively stable."

"This time your ascent to Half‑God, coupled with the launch of the expedition, has almost mobilized all forces of the Chaotic Ancient Continent."

"Looking across countless epochs."

"Only you, Ta Ke Ramour, can reach such heights at the Half‑God tier."

"Earlier I heard that even as a weak Half‑God you repelled the Green Star Tribe's Divine assault."

"Now, having become a Half‑God, you are probably no weaker than the Divine strong ones!"

Ta Ke smiled at the words and humbly said,

"Senior Alumo Fu, your praise is mistaken; I've only barely brushed the Divine threshold."

"Tsk tsk… just after ascending to Half‑God you already touched the Divine threshold."

"If that were to achieve the Divine Realm, that would be something!"

Alumo Fu clicked his tongue in amazement.

"Senior Alumo Fu, you came over not just to probe my background, right?"

Ta Ke spread his hands a bit helplessly.

"Haha… of course not."

Saying that, Alumo Fu slightly straightened his tone and said,

"How is the Steam·Star Net Chaos Star Core ecology over on the Chaotic Ancient Continent?"

"Can it directly confront the ecological power of the Green Star Tribe's Divine Fortress?"

Ta Ke pondered seriously for a moment, then said.

Hard to say; for now, it seems the Divine Spirit Fortress contains the power of the Green Star Clan's ecology—it's strong and highly threatening.

My Steam Star Net·Chaos Star Core Ecology, although its development is still quite good.

But you also know, the chaotic black mist inside is deadly and silent.

The Green Star Clan merely salvages chaos star cores inside, with no pressure to build an ecology.

My Steam Star Net·Chaos Star Core Ecology, wanting to awaken the dead, silent chaotic black mist and give it ecological vitality, is extremely difficult.

Currently, my Steam Star Net·Chaos Star Core Ecology is likely still unable to strike the Divine Spirit Fortress effectively.

After hearing Ta Ke's exposition, Divine Spirit Alumofu fell into a long train of thought.

After a long while, it then slowly expounded.

Although you currently cannot use ecology to launch an ecological war against them, we still need you to give some support when we open warfare on our side.

After all, your power's very existence, even if you do not act, is itself a threat that can make them wary.

Understood!

Ta Ke nodded solemnly.

Since that's the case, you should pay attention to the war situation over there for a while.

The Green Star Clan's Divine Spirit Fortress is not to be underestimated; we will try to give them a certain blow.

After finishing the exposition, Alumofu the divine spirit slowly withdrew.

Ta Ke, sitting cross-legged, pondered for a long time, then slowly exhaled.

The Green Star Clan's Divine Spirit Fortress possesses the power of the Green Star's ecology; this is also what the true god of the Burning Star Sequence worries about.

No matter what, using expeditions and divine wars to catalyze the ecological process is inevitable.

In the midst of his thoughts, Ta Ke's focus was on the great treasure he had previously obtained in the Divine Forbidden Land.

Previously, Ta Ke obtained the Ancient God Curse in the Divine Forbidden Land.

At the weak demigod level, Ta Ke dared not touch it lightly.

Now, having achieved demigod level, and his eternal state is stable.

So… he can now touch that powerful Ancient God Curse which embodies eternal characteristics, having endured endless ages of baptism, still standing firm in the river of time and space.

The power of such ancient 'Ancient God Curses' is even greater than that of primordial divine artifacts.

Once the great power of the Ancient God Curse can be unleashed.

Then Ta Ke will be able to stand firm among the divine spirits with his demigod realm.

With a flip of his hand, Ta Ke took out that huge eternal seed.

In an instant, the huge outline pressed the chaos eternal star core beneath Ta Ke, making it tremble.

Ta Ke immediately stabilized the chaos star core, while touching that immensely powerful Ancient God Curse seed.

When Ta Ke opened the inheritance sequence channel.

In an instant, endless time flowed by, and a rushing sound came.

If Ta Ke had not already preliminarily stabilized eternity.

Just this wave of the rush would be enough to make Ta Ke fall.

In the rush of time.

Ta Ke relied on the power of his demigod divine position, began to slightly touch and accept the sequence power of that ancient god curse.
