"This area must honor our Jade Dragon Clan as the Overlord!"
Multiple regions had risen due to heirs of power; the previously stable situation transformed in an instant.
It was at this moment that the starry sky began to tremble.
Hidden within various regions, special worlds all changed under this tremor.
The inheritances they once had were slowly disappearing. Although they still held vast resources, without the inheritance, their value greatly diminished.
Before long, all the special inheritances under the starry sky had vanished.
And those who had already received an inheritance were unaffected, but if one had only acquired half, they could only consider themselves unlucky.
This was the power of the Starry Sky Rules, motionless until moved, then earth-shatteringly transformative.
Not only that, in the old territories.
Many figures were heavily injured, their aura weakened.
He was the first to sense what was at play.
Soon, they gathered together.
"The Starry Sky Rules have acted against us, as expected, it seems our speculations were correct."
"Fortunately, we were prepared, otherwise this could have been more than just injuries, we might have even faced demise."
"We should be thankful to Xing Yuan."
They all looked towards a hazy figure that seemed to be hidden within a nebula, its surrounding mist enveloped by falling stars; only a pair of eyes were visible, deep as the abyss, as if they could swallow the starry sky whole.
"We also rely on the treasures given by all of you; otherwise, I couldn’t have withstood the backlash of the Starry Sky Rules, and besides, they had no intention of killing us."
"Indeed, we dared to act in this manner because it was within the scope of the Starry Sky Rules’ allowance, yet we still suffered backlash."
"Allowed, yet facing backlash, truly the people of the old territory."
At this point, Xing Yuan spoke, "Our ultimate goal is indeed within the range of what the Starry Sky Rules permit, but the process might not have followed the rules, instead infringing upon taboos..."
"Infringing upon taboos?"
"What taboo have we infringed upon?"
Xing Yuan’s voice deepened and said:
"We did what we have always been doing."
"This is the message I sensed after withstanding the Starry Space Rules, but what it specifically signifies, I’m not sure. I can only confirm it’s related to the bodies we dispatched. This time it’s a warning, next time, it will not be!"
The many figures looked at each other and eventually came to the same decision.
"In that case, let’s stop this henceforth. The most critical step has already been taken; the waters have been muddied, it’s merely a matter of more time, which we can afford to wait for."
A group of old territory powerhouses made their decision.
They could exploit loopholes in the Starry Sky Rules, or rather, find the existing paths of life, but they wouldn’t dare to defy them outright.
Otherwise, even they couldn’t withstand the backlash.
No one expected that the vaguely existing inheritances in the corpses would affect various aspects.
But as the people of the old territory said, the water has been muddied and the starry sky situation changes in the blink of an eye.
The cross-border wars never ceased.
In the New Calendar year 148, Tianchen World became affiliated, its region located in the Heavenly World Region, where two top worlds were controlled by Source Star.
In the New Calendar year 150, in the Heavenly World Region, a medium-sized world discovered a special world; initially thought to claim an inheritance, they ended up with only special resources and were afterward subdued by Tianchen World.
In the New Calendar year 152, Source Star campaigned in two regions simultaneously. Their strength was formidable. With the cross-border passage open for just seven years, Source Star had acquired over two hundred more Affiliated Worlds and planets, their might immensely strong. As for the Heavenly World Region, there were even more, and although many were reassigned elsewhere, it still allowed Source Star to gain an additional three hundred plus Affiliated Worlds.
In the New Calendar year 155, ten years since the opening of the cross-border passage, counting the Affiliated Worlds originally owned by Source Star, they now possessed over eight hundred Affiliated Worlds and planets, with more than three hundred in the Source Star region and over four hundred in the Heavenly World Region.
Over time, after countless reshufflings, each region gradually stabilized.
Yue decided to take a temporary pause to reorganize.
"The existence of the cross-border passages and Cross-border Ships has saved us a great deal of time; subduing nearly eight hundred worlds in ten years, it’s time to take a break!"
Eight hundred worlds, most chose to affiliate themselves and surrender.
Only about a hundred worlds were conquered through force.
However, whether it was one type of world or another, they faced the same issue.
Many worlds were subdued, but Yue hardly intervened, leaving them as they were.
Even more, due to the knowledge that worlds had surrendered to others, the chaos increased.
But because of the chaos at the start of the cross-border passage opening, Source Star needed to intimidate the worlds to maintain stability, so they rarely interfered.
Now that the situation had stabilized somewhat, most worlds were intimidated by Source Star’s might.
Yue could afford a temporary pause, to sort out the internal gains.
This might give other worlds a chance to develop, but compared to more territory, Huangtian still chose stability.
"Excluding the few dozen worlds we initially entered, including Tianchen World, we haven’t managed much, we need a large number of personnel."
Everyone knew that managing eight hundred worlds would require an immense number of personnel.
Huangtian looked towards an individual, the Minister of the Education Department of Datong, Wang Wen.
"Minister Wang, could you share the situation?"
"Leader, we have been cultivating talent in various academies for twenty years now, and twenty years later, we can bring forth ten million capable of governance. These individuals have all been through trials."
Huangtian knew that after the start of the cross-border wars, there would be a shortage of personnel, hence he began cultivating the necessary talents twenty years prior.
