Section 790

As everyone waited in silence, each with their own thoughts and ideas, their eyes suddenly shifted in unison, looking outwards.

Xia Chuan, the expressionless First Legion Commander, raised an eyebrow, then stood up.

Huang Wei, the Second Legion Commander, who clearly had a fiery temper, snorted coldly and didn't bother to stand up at all.

Sun Chengping, the head of the Yimei Nebula Cosmic Technology Group, stood up with a fake smile.

He exchanged a glance with Xia Chuan, and then they both walked out in unison.

After all, he was the Yimei Nebula Master.

They could choose not to greet him at the Yimei Nebula entrance.

They could also choose not to greet him at the Star System entrance.

But.

He had already arrived at Yezhao Star; not going out to greet him now…

That would truly be inexcusable.

With the two of them getting up to greet him, the Star Sector Lords and Star System Lords present naturally also rose and followed to greet him.

As for Huang Wei, he snorted coldly and grumbled, “Greet? What’s there to greet?!”

“Why pick this godforsaken place to snatch the Star Nebula Lord position? I, Old Huang, have waited for a full seven million years!”

“I finally managed to endure until there was a chance to take over the Star Nebula Lord position, and this bastard, who knows where he came from, just plucked the peach!”

“I refuse to accept this!!!”

“Everyone stay seated, what greet?!”

That's what he said.

But everyone exchanged glances…

Hardly anyone listened to him.

Only a few of his former subordinates, who were now Star System Lords, remained behind with bitter smiles.

However, their hearts were extremely uneasy.

Huang Wei had the capital not to go greet him.

But they were just a bunch of small fries; for the esteemed Star Nebula Lord to want to remove them…

Wouldn't that be an easy matter?

Yet, to offend Huang Wei, this brute, for that reason, was something they were even more unwilling to do.

Especially since he was their direct superior back then.

Xia Chuan and Sun Chengping ignored him; they went out anyway.

Upon reaching outside.

They looked up.

They wanted to see…

Just who was this person who had popped out of nowhere to snatch their positions and pluck their peaches!

However.

When they looked up intently, their expressions froze slightly, and a hint of doubt and confusion flashed in their eyes.

It wasn't just the two of them.

Those who had followed them out also looked up, one by one, with puzzled expressions.

They saw!

What entered their sight were nine… star destroyers?

star destroyers???

What the hell?

Could it be that the one who arrived wasn't the Yimei Nebula Master, but just someone passing by?

Or perhaps, these people were merely subordinates of that mysterious Yimei Nebula Master, and the Yimei Nebula Master hadn't arrived yet?

Actually, this was normal; it wasn't surprising that they were thinking wildly and hadn't considered that the Yimei Nebula Master was a Star Destroyer Captain.

A Star Nebula Lord could be an Immortal Ship Captain Rank, or someone who had reached the strength of an Immortal Ship.

But the problem was!

To possess the strength of an Immortal Ship Captain at the star destroyer level, that would undoubtedly be a top-tier Prodigy, or even a normal Genius-level Super Genius, right?

After all, the further along one went, the harder it was to fight across Ranks!

For a star destroyer to be comparable to an Immortal Ship, it must at least be a Prodigy-level Genius.

So.

Here's the problem.

If it truly was a Prodigy-level Genius…

Then within the Cosmic Technology Group, they would certainly have priority in choosing a nebula.

The higher the cultivation Rank, the more authority one had to choose better nebulae.

For someone of Xu Zi'an's highest Rank, any nebula was perfectly fine.

So!

Would a Prodigy-level Genius come to the Yimei Nebula to be its Star Nebula Lord?

Am I crazy or is this Genius crazy?

Everyone was utterly bewildered.

But the next second.

They understood.

The next second.

On what appeared to be the leading star destroyer, a string of top-secret symbols suddenly flickered.

Immediately after, a red light flashed in the confidential communicators of everyone present, with text displayed within—

[Yimei Nebula Master identity verification complete, verification successful!!]

This was the Cosmic Technology Group's internal identity verification System.

It was entirely controlled by the Intelligent Optical Brain.

It was impossible for it to make a mistake.

It was also specifically used for position transfers to prevent internal traitors, spies, and the like.

Just this short line of text.

Xia Chuan and Sun Chengping both twitched at the corners of their mouths.

The rest of the people slowly opened their mouths wide.

Their expressions were astonished.

So…

The current Yimei Nebula Master was actually, truly, the star destroyer before them???

Since his identity had been confirmed, it proved that he truly possessed the strength of an Immortal Ship Captain!

Because the Intelligent Optical Brain's verification in this regard would absolutely not make a mistake!

Which meant…

This newly appointed Yimei Nebula Master…

Was still at least a Prodigy-level Genius?

Upon realizing this.

The expressionless Xia Chuan's face instantly fell.

The already gloomy Sun Chengping's expression grew even darker.

They knew very well.

What it meant for a Prodigy-level Genius to come and take up a position.

This was completely different from a normal Immortal Ship Captain coming here to take up a position!

The latter.

They had full confidence in contending with.

But the former…

Just thinking about it made them feel incredibly uncomfortable.

They just couldn't understand it, damn it.
