Section 778

What kind of existence was a Star Sea Master?

To put it bluntly,

A Star Sea Master was one of the 108 Council Members!

The kind who truly participated in the major affairs of the Cosmic Human Federation!

Xu Zi'an had never expected this.

His Grandmaster…

Would actually be willing to invest so much in him.

After a moment of contemplation, Xu Zi'an asked in a deep voice, “There must be some conditions, right?”

Ming Xiang smiled slightly and said, “Indeed.”

“Whether it’s the Southern Sky Star Sea or other star seas under the Cosmic Technology Group,”

“You can only take over after you reach at least the Zhenyu-class Battleship Level.”

“There’s no denying your reputation, your potential, your status, and your importance.”

“They are among the best in our Cosmic Human Federation.”

“However, a Star Sea Master still needs sufficient strength to command respect.”

“Of course, the reason you need to reach at least the Zhenyu-class Battleship Level to serve is on the condition that you possess Supreme Battleship Level combat power!”

“If your combat power doesn’t reach it… you still won’t be able to take over.”

“Similarly, as long as your true strength reaches the Supreme Battleship Level, even if you are only at the Zongxing-class Battleship or Void Ship Level, you can still take over!”

Xu Zi'an shook his head with a smile.

At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He had thought his Grandmaster was going to directly appoint him as the Star Sea Master.

If that were truly the case…

Xu Zi'an wasn't sure if he would dare to accept it.

Being a Star Sea Master wasn't something you could just take on because someone told you to!

The Star Sea Master was the most powerful person in a star sea, the helmsman of a star sea!

He managed the survival of an entire star sea and the lives of countless people within it!

It wasn’t something just anyone could do.

As if thinking of something, Xu Zi'an couldn't help but ask curiously, “Given that,”

“Then what does this second option mean?”

“You don’t think I can defeat a supreme-class ship now, do you?”

“Don’t joke around!”

“They could kill me with a single breath!”

Ming Xiang immediately laughed, shaking her head, “Of course not.”

“Actually, this second option,”

“Is truly about cultivating you as one of our own within the Cosmic Technology Group!”

“At the same time, it’s about cultivating you with all our might as the future Star Sea Master!”

“Therefore, while you will have an abundance of resources to improve yourself,”

“You will also start from the very basics.”

“For example…”

“Serving as a Star Nebula Lord, or even a Star Cluster Lord!”

“First, manage a star nebula well, slowly learning, slowly growing.”

“Once you’ve grown enough, you will directly take over a star sea and become its Star Sea Master!”

“Additionally, even with the second option,”

“There won’t be too many restrictions on your personal freedom.”

“The only restriction is that once you join the Cosmic Technology Group, you will forever be a part of the Cosmic Technology Group and must not leave!”

“However!”

“You can still hold other positions, do other things, and even create your own companies, groups, families, or even Empires!”

“For example, if you now serve as the master of a star nebula, you can create a nation similar to the Earth Federation!”

“None of these will have any impact.”

After listening to Ming Xiang’s explanation,

Xu Zi'an understood.

He got it.

Simply put,

The first option.

Was a form of cooperation.

Free to come and go.

It was equivalent to… a form of Guest Elder.

It claimed to also provide cultivation.

But the intensity of this cultivation, without even thinking, wouldn't be very great.

It was more about maintaining a connection.

The second option.

Was completely about being treated as one of their own.

They would cultivate him with all their might.

Especially those with immense potential, like Xu Zi'an.

The starting point.

Was to cultivate him according to the standard of a Star Sea Master.

One could imagine just how great this cultivation intensity would be.

And how high their expectations for Xu Zi'an were.

Even!

Star Sea Master was truly just Xu Zi'an’s starting point!

Perhaps.

Ultimately, they were cultivating Xu Zi'an to be the new helmsman of the Cosmic Technology Group!

Which meant…

One of the future Peak Group members!

The truly most esteemed status.

With this option.

Xu Zi'an no longer hesitated.

Even a fool would know what to choose!

If it were someone else.

Like an ordinary Genius.

They might hesitate.

Because the first option and the second option didn’t have much difference for them!

For relatively ordinary people joining the Cosmic Technology Group.

Perhaps, if their Aptitude was slightly more common, they might not even have the second option.

Only the first option, and after joining, you would still have to work honestly within the Cosmic Technology Group!

They certainly wouldn’t cultivate you into anything special.

Only someone like Xu Zi'an.

Was truly valued by the Cosmic Technology Group.

“I choose the second one!”

Xu Zi'an answered immediately without thinking.

Although the second option meant being completely tied to the Cosmic Technology Group.
