Section 780

Normally, to serve as a Star Nebula Lord, one needs to compete or wait for the original Star Nebula Lord to be promoted or abdicate; in short, one has to wait for the position to become vacant.

But!

Xu Zi'an is different.

Xu Zi'an possesses the highest cultivation authority of the Cosmic Technology Group!

And the meaning of this authority is very simple—

Whichever nebula Xu Zi'an fancies, he can choose it at will!

If the chosen nebula currently has no Star Nebula Lord, then there's naturally no problem.

If there is a Star Nebula Lord, he must directly abdicate and yield the position to Xu Zi'an!

Xu Zi'an looked around.

He couldn't help but shake his head.

Basically, all the good, prosperous places already have a Star Nebula Lord.

While he could indeed seize one, it would inevitably offend people.

There was simply no need for that.

Given his current status, offending these Star Nebula Lords wasn't really an issue; it wouldn't affect anything.

However, to needlessly offend people, truthfully, Xu Zi'an considered it a very foolish act.

What's more,

The difference between prosperity and lack thereof merely lies in the amount of tax revenue he would receive.

And the difference isn't even that great.

Because Xu Zi'an has the highest cultivation authority!

He possesses the highest tax revenue sharing ratio!

An ordinary Star Nebula Lord receives three percent of the tax revenue from the nebula he governs.

Forty-seven percent must be used to maintain the nebula's daily expenses, upkeep, defense, and so on.

For example, the salaries of the Federal Army in the nebula, the maintenance of various equipment such as the stellar stability control System, and the nebula's various defense facilities.

The remaining fifty percent of the tax revenue is submitted to the Cosmic Technology Group.

But Xu Zi'an!

From the very beginning, he possesses twenty percent of the tax revenue sharing!

Then fifty percent of the tax revenue is used for the nebula's daily maintenance.

The remaining thirty percent!

Is what needs to be submitted to the Cosmic Technology Group!

In addition!

The Cosmic Technology Group will also periodically provide Xu Zi'an with a batch of resources to aid his growth.

Considering this,

It can even be said that Xu Zi'an monopolizes the tax revenue of an entire nebula!

Furthermore, the most important point is:

Choosing a less prosperous nebula actually holds greater development potential.

It also makes it easier for Xu Zi'an to do his own things!

These thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.

Xu Zi'an immediately made a decision.

He chose a place called Yimei Nebula in the Tianrui Star Sea as his territory.

Tianrui Star Sea.

It is the last-ranked star sea among the 16 star seas controlled by the Cosmic Technology Group.

Among the 108 star seas in the entire Cosmic Human Federation, it is ranked 106th!

Whether it's the overall strength of the Federal Army, defensive capabilities, or economic prosperity, it is at the lowest Rank.

The reason for this is:

Firstly, Tianrui Star Sea has multiple battlefields of different Ranks.

It is located in a remote area and experiences constant warfare.

Moreover, it has been developed for a relatively short period, making it a very young star sea.

Furthermore, it contains a very large number of different ethnic groups, with complex power structures, rampant Interstellar Pirates and Human Traitors, and extremely poor public order.

Such poor public order naturally deters many forces and populations from migrating there.

Under this vicious cycle, Tianrui Star Sea has never been able to develop.

Yimei Nebula can be said to be the worst place among them.

The Yimei Nebula alone has a full 8 battlefields of different Ranks.

There are many powerful Interstellar Pirates nearby, and because there are too many battlefields, Human Traitors are quite active here.

Furthermore, strong individuals from the Alien Race and Insectoid Race often infiltrate.

Just like this…

Three years ago, a strong individual from the Insectoid Race infiltrated, and the then Yimei Nebula Master fought bravely but was ultimately killed.

For three years, no one has taken over the position.

The position of Yimei Nebula Master has remained vacant.

Xu Zi'an chose this place.

The reason is simple.

Chaos.

Danger.

Poor public order.

Numerous battlefields.

What do these represent?

Do these not represent living Evolution Points?

They represent a massive amount of Evolution Points!!!

Under his ultimate tracking ability, those Interstellar Pirates and Human Traitors have nowhere to hide!

Public order is not an issue at all.

And the complex terrain of Yimei Nebula happens to provide Xu Zi'an with more opportunities to conceal his secrets.

For example…

Infinitely producing large quantities of Heaven And Earth Treasure and then selling them!

Earning massive wealth and money!

In short,

There are too many benefits here.

The only thing to worry about is one point—

The Alien Race and Insectoid Race might send super-strong individuals at all costs to eliminate him.

But!!!

With his various methods, it is highly unlikely for them to succeed in eliminating him.

The safety of the Ladies also doesn't need too much worry!

He swept his gaze around once more.

Ultimately, the Yimei Nebula in Tianrui Star Sea was the most to Xu Zi'an's liking.

In that case…

There's nothing more to say.

He directly selected this place as his assigned territory!

As soon as he made the selection, the Intelligent Optical Brain on his optical brain watch popped up a notification, advising Xu Zi'an to reconsider, stating that this was the place it least recommended.

However, a decision made by Xu Zi'an is not so easily changed.
