Lord Upgrade Requirements

The boy who might be the master of Tian Shi Palace had become his first disciple.

Tian Shi's tribe was not on War God Star, but since he had taken him as a disciple, Tian Shi naturally had to live on War God Star for future instruction.

For the sake of his disciple, Wang Yu had Venina arrange for his entire tribe to move to War God Star, letting Tian Shi experience the thrill of one man attaining the Dao and his chickens and dogs ascending to heaven.

Tian Shi was already at the high Apprentice Grade. Since he had even comprehended an artistic conception, there was no point in remaining at the Apprentice Grade. Wang Yu told him to break through to the Planetary-level immediately, rest for the night, and receive advanced secret techniques tomorrow.

Tian Shi excitedly kowtowed again before following the servant away.

"Venina, you deserve great credit for discovering a genius like Tian Shi," Wang Yu said with a smile.

"You flatter me, Lord. This is what I should do!" Venina replied gratefully, overjoyed.

"What kind of spaceship are you using now?"

"My lord, it is a C3-class spaceship assigned to me by the Empire!"

"It is a little ordinary. As your reward this time... how about this? Pick out a fully metal C5-class spaceship to replace it."

"A fully metal C5-class!" Venina was beside herself with delight.

"As this lord's steward, it is not just your spatial ring. Your other equipment needs to keep up as well," Wang Yu said casually.

"Otherwise, when you go out and people from other factions see you, they might think this lord's subordinates cannot even afford a decent spaceship!"

"Thank you for your reward, my lord!" Venina's face flushed red with excitement.

"It is my duty to work for you, my lord. Already, being favored by you is an immense honor, and now you have bestowed such a precious reward upon me..."

"It is only a C-class spaceship." Wang Yu waved a hand indifferently.

"Serve this lord well. Such a reward is nothing. As long as you handle the matters this lord assigns properly, this lord can reward you with even more at any time!"

"I will certainly give my all and never disappoint your high expectations, my lord!" Venina's entire body trembled slightly.

A fully metal C5-class spaceship!

That was worth tens of billions of White Dragon Coins!

Even many descendants of major families might not get to use a spaceship of that grade!

The lord was truly lavish with his spending!

"Enough. Back to business. This lord has something to instruct you to do," Wang Yu said.

"On this trip to Imperial Capital Star, this lord's planetary territories increased by another fifty planets. The population has nearly doubled, so the management workload will likely become extremely heavy."

"You need not think about saving money for this lord. This lord has plenty of money. What I need is sound management of the territory. Spend where spending is needed, hire where hiring is needed..."

"If the Imperial Administrative Office cannot provide enough personnel, go find a professional planetary management company, or seek out the Cosmic Galaxy Bank."

"The Cosmic Galaxy Bank?" Venina froze.

"Mm." Wang Yu nodded lightly.

"During this trip to Imperial Capital Star, this lord deposited ten million Universe Coins in the Cosmic Galaxy Bank and advanced to a One-Star Account."

"A One-Star Account enjoys many convenient services, including planetary management. The fees may be somewhat higher, but the standard should not be poor."

As Wang Yu spoke, he sent the account number and password for a subsidiary account to Vinina.

"This subsidiary account will be managed by you. All future territorial expenses will be drawn from this account. Use however much you need. Unless it is a major matter, there is no need to ask me about every single thing."

"Yes!" Venina quickly answered respectfully.

A One-Star Account!

She had undergone professional training, and her knowledge and discernment far exceeded that of an ordinary Star-level. Thus, she understood what Universe Coins, Universe Crystals, and One-Star Accounts from the two major cosmic banks represented.

That was a prestigious account obtainable only with deposits of ten million Universe Coins!

In the entire Blue Silver Empire, it was said that fewer than ten Universe-level powerhouses possessed One-Star Accounts!

The lord had only just broken through to the Universe-level, yet he already possessed such enormous wealth!

"Also, regarding the ten thousand selected individuals and the one hundred million who passed the preliminary selection, arrange them as we discussed before. Provide sufficient resources and instructors, and raise their strength as quickly as possible," Wang Yu continued.

"However... after thinking about it, this lord feels that the current scale of training is still too small. It is somewhat too conservative."

"You mean..." Venina was startled.

"Expand the scale of training," Wang Yu said calmly.

"Starting now, select another three billion citizens and immediately use potions to help them break through to the Planetary-level!"

"Three billion citizens? All of them using potions to break through to the Planetary-level???" Venina's eyes widened in shock. Was that not far too massive an expansion!?

"This... Lord, Planetary Evolution Potions cost around ten thousand White Dragon Coins each. Three billion citizens would mean thirty trillion... nearly five million Universe Coins!"

"This lord naturally knows that." Wang Yu smiled calmly.

"Venina, whether it is worth it or why it is worth it are not things you need to consider."

"The only thing you need to think about is how to complete the tasks this lord assigns as quickly and as well as possible!"

"Yes... my lord!" Venina replied respectfully.

The lord had spoken so domineeringly. What else could she say?

Perhaps the lord truly was kindhearted and deeply wished to build a powerful territory, regardless of the cost...

Or perhaps he had reasons and thoughts that she simply could not understand...

How could she possibly comprehend the thoughts of a Universe-level powerhouse?

In any case, faithfully carrying out the lord's orders was the right thing to do!

After Venina had also withdrawn, only Wang Yu remained seated high upon the throne in the grand hall.

"Five million Universe Coins. An ordinary Universe-level might not even have that much cash. This is definitely a huge sum."

"But as long as I step through the threshold of the Origin Laws and gain a little more wealth, it will not be such a major matter."

"An ordinary Domain Lord Level has a net worth of around ten billion Universe Coins. As for powerful Universe-level beings like Nuolan Shan and Mentor Yoda, possessing eight hundred million or one billion Universe Coins is nothing unusual."

"As long as I step through the threshold of the laws, I will be a powerful Universe-level like them. I can handle any wealth that is not too outrageous."

Wang Yu nodded lightly and looked toward the lines of illusory text from the system.

[Lord upgrade requirement: Cultivate 1 Third-Tier Elite Stellar level]

[Third-Tier Elite Stellar level: Force amplitude exceeds 40, spiritual force amplitude exceeds 30, possesses a domain (meeting any one condition)]

"To raise the lord level to one star, I need to cultivate a Third-Tier Elite Stellar level," Wang Yu pondered.

"This requirement is neither particularly high nor particularly low. If a major faction wanted to recruit an elite genius of this level, it naturally would not be difficult."

"But for my shabby territory, with a bunch of mediocre citizens, it will be difficult."

"Moreover, the system requires 'cultivation.' The person must be a citizen of my territory whose strength broke through under my cultivation. Buying slaves, soul enslavement, coercion, temptation, or directly obtaining someone who meets the requirements—none of that will be recognized by the system..."

"Fortunately, among this group of citizens with tenth- and ninth-tier bloodlines, a Tian Shi actually emerged!"
