Upon the throne.
After learning that he had arrived in the world of Super Seminary, Su Mu calmed his mind and asked the system in his head, "System, aside from those under the Heavenly Court's rule, can no one else still provide me with Prestige Points?"
That's right, Prestige Points!
The reason Su Mu had been able to establish the Cyber Heavenly Court in this starfield within a hundred years was largely thanks to the system.
And the "currency" required by the system was Prestige Points!
Almost everything within the Cyber Heavenly Court had been exchanged by Su Mu through the system using Prestige Points.
Take the various fleets of the Cyber Heavenly Court, for example!
Every one of those fleets consisted of warships manufactured from blueprints Su Mu had exchanged for with Prestige Points through the system!
It was not just fleets, but also all kinds of Super Genes that allowed humans to obtain extraordinary powers!
For example, Su Mu's personal guards, Yang Jian and Nezha!
At the beginning, the two of them had merely been ordinary people. In the end, after Su Mu bestowed Super Genes upon them, they gained abilities akin to Huaxia immortals!
Therefore, Prestige Points were absolutely a good thing for Su Mu!
However, Prestige Points had one enormous drawback: they could only be generated within Su Mu's own forces.
In other words, if Su Mu wanted to obtain more Prestige Points, he had to continuously conquer intelligent civilizations and bring them under his command!
That was precisely why Su Mu had spent nearly a hundred years completely conquering this entire starfield and bringing it under the rule of the Cyber Heavenly Court.
After Su Mu voiced his question, the system's voice quickly rang out.
"Yes, Host."
"Prestige Points can still only be obtained from intelligent lifeforms under your command."
Hearing the system's reply, Su Mu said nothing more.
He had anticipated this situation long ago.
However, since Prestige Points could only be obtained from intelligent lifeforms under his command, he needed to make preparations and be ready to dispatch troops to conquer the Super God Universe at any time.
With that in mind, Su Mu began considering which squad he should send as a vanguard to scout the way for the Cyber Heavenly Court's army.
After all, the choice of scout had to be made with extreme care!
First, the candidate needed to possess considerable strength, while also having experience commanding troops in battle!
Otherwise, one careless mistake could leave the entire Cyber Heavenly Court army in a passive position!
As Su Mu pondered, several clangs of battle boots striking metal suddenly rang out, interrupting his thoughts.
His train of thought broken, Su Mu simply raised his head and looked toward the newcomer.
As Su Mu looked up, a young man clad in military attire and golden armor appeared within Lingxiao Palace.
Though the young man had handsome features, the aura he radiated did not lack majesty in the slightest.
Yet the most astonishing and impossible-to-ignore feature was the Divine Mark between his eyes.
"Greetings, Heavenly Venerate!" Facing Su Mu seated upon the throne above, Yang Jian did not hesitate in the slightest. He immediately dropped to one knee and offered his highest respect.
Watching Yang Jian salute below him, Su Mu's thoughts stirred.
He had just been considering whom to send to lead the way for the entire Heavenly Court army.
Now that he saw Yang Jian, Su Mu suddenly felt that Yang Jian would be an excellent choice to lead the team.
Yang Jian met both of the requirements he had mentioned earlier!
As Su Mu's personal guard, Yang Jian's strength naturally needed no questioning!
As for combat experience?
With Su Mu's approval, Yang Jian had once commanded a Heavenly Court army and swept through dozens of star systems in a single day!
Thinking this, Su Mu immediately ordered Yang Jian, "Yang Jian, I'm giving you half a day to select a vanguard squad."
"Objective: explore the world beyond the Heavenly Court Starfield."
"Yes! Yang Jian accepts the order!" Yang Jian, still half-kneeling on the ground, offered no unnecessary words and directly turned to leave Lingxiao Palace.
For Yang Jian, there was no need to know what the Heavenly Venerate was planning. He only needed to know what mission the Heavenly Venerate had assigned him!
So long as the Heavenly Venerate gave him an order, even if he were told to seek light within a Black Hole, he would carry it out without hesitation!
Solar Star.
Council Hall.
Under Pan Zhen's leadership, all the elders of Solar Star had gathered here to begin their discussion.
"Based on the rules of this Ranking System, can Solar Star secure a place on it?" Pan Zhen, clad in Silver Armor, sat imposingly in his chair and asked the elders around him.
Although Pan Zhen was Solar Star's Great General, he did not know exactly how many Spacefaring Level warships Solar Star possessed.
That was because Lieyang had been replacing its warships far too quickly in recent years, almost completely updating them every half year.
After each replacement, the retired warships were handled by the Elder Council, and Pan Zhen had never interfered.
"If we are merely talking about warships that have reached Spacefaring Level, Solar Star does have quite a considerable stockpile."
"However, their quality is not particularly satisfactory. We cannot guarantee whether they can enter the top three of the Ranking System," the Elder Council slowly replied after a round of deliberation.
Pan Zhen frowned upon hearing this, but he also knew that the Elder Council could not be blamed for such a matter.
After pondering for a moment, Pan Zhen continued, "Then can you estimate who will make the list?"
As Pan Zhen spoke, the members of the Elder Council began discussing it once again.
After several minutes had passed, the First Elder of the Elder Council spoke to Pan Zhen. "According to our calculations, if biological warships like those of the Triangular Body count as warships, then first place should belong to the Triangular Body."
"Second place, barring any surprises, should be the Angels. Their civilization has accumulated strength for ten thousand years and is far more powerful than ours."
"As for third place, it should be contested between us and Styx. Who ultimately obtains that rank will depend on how the Ranking System defines its criteria."
"If biological warships like those of the Triangular Body do not count as warships."
"Then Lieyang's final ranking should be either second or third."
Listening to the Elder Council's analysis, Pan Zhen nodded to indicate that he understood.
There was nothing he could do about this situation. After all, both the Angels and the Triangular Body were colossal forces to Lieyang!
Just as the various civilizations continued analyzing who might make the Ranking System, the Blue Screen in space began rippling continuously.
Amid those ripples, lines of text slowly emerged!
[Warship Quantity Ranking!] [Third Place: Lieyang Civilization!] [Second Place: Angel Civilization!] [First Place: Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization!]
As the Ranking System was announced, the entire universe erupted into an uproar!
