Ruan Yu Mengchen had indeed done an excellent job. Although the Zerg Destroyers Ye Luo had given him were nearly exhausted, the "warships" he now commanded the immortals to build far surpassed the Zerg Destroyers.
There were thirty Falling Star Arks with the equivalent strength of battleships, one hundred Mystic Heaven Arks with the combat power of cruisers, three hundred Earthwalker Arks with the combat power of destroyers, as well as a full thirty million puppets refined with immortal arts.

Although the upper ranks formed a cabinet centered around three great families, the management of the planets below was entirely enfeoffed to nobles, who governed them on their own as long as they paid their taxes on time. The upper ranks normally did not interfere in the affairs of the various planetary colonies.
However, if a noble could not guarantee the safety of the planets within his territory, then he was out of luck.
