Imperial Palace, back garden.

It's a paradise of flowers, fragrant and beautiful, dotted with pavilions and pavilions, with towering ancient trees and shady trees in the distance, and the occasional beautiful bird passing through the sky, sprinkling a series of crisp and melodious birdsong.

After the change of owners of this sprawling palace complex, many places have been transformed according to the preferences of the new empress, such as this Jiangnan garden-style back garden, which is one of them.

At this moment, in the central area of the Imperial Palace, in a viewing tower hundreds of meters high, the top floor is a semicircular space with an area of hundreds of square meters, covered with a transparent spar dome, Zhao Xinglan is wearing a pure white tulle skirt, sitting on the dusty warm jade bed, concentrating.

It's nightfall, and the vast sea of stars hangs quietly overhead, and on the deep inky blue sky, you can occasionally see meteors streaking across the sky, leaving a fleeting and brilliant trail.

In the vast sky, one after another bright starlight was pulled by some mysterious power, through the dome made of transparent crystal, silently projected down, and quietly converged into her body. continues to refine her internal organs, meridians and bone marrow.

As more and more starlight gathered, it gradually condensed into wisps of multicolored light mist visible to the naked eye around her, and the condensed light mist formed a faint multicolored light cover, wrapping her in the whole inside, looking mysterious and cold, beautiful and incomprehensible.

This is the vision that occurs when cultivating the Galaxy Heavenly Compass Sutra, as the top three cultivation scriptures in the human world, the effect is far more powerful than Zhao Xinglan expected.

Under the washing of this pure star energy, her body slowly transformed from the inside to the outside, slowly transforming to a stronger level. Streams of energy are surging in the blood vessels and meridians, and every drop of blood and every cell is full of vitality that ordinary people can hardly imagine.

With a large amount of star energy refining into the body, the meridian consciousness sea has been effectively expanded. Now the energy in her body is at least thirty percent more than that of a person of the same level, and it is still increasing at a noticeable rate. With a large number of star crystals, the high-end resources produced by the mother emperor have allowed her to successfully break through the threshold of the fifth order.

The first to third orders can only be regarded as the initial stage of ability cultivation, and those who have reached the fourth order have qualitatively improved their quality in all aspects, and have strong combat power, as long as they are equipped with the right equipment, they can fight in the starry sky environment for a long time.

As for the fifth order, it is also known as the Phantom Star Realm, and those who can reach this level of ability will further improve their comprehensive combat power, and their energy will be released to form shields and various attack methods, and they can fly in the air in isolation from gravity, and they will survive in the void environment without relying on equipment, and their lifespan will be increased accordingly.

Those who have reached the fifth-order Phantom Star Realm are usually regarded as the backbone of the Ability Legion in the major power organizations, and they are worthy of being recruited with favorable conditions, and have the value of investing resources in further cultivation.

Although Zhao Xinglan was already the lord of a country and was always under strict and thoughtful protection, she had never relaxed her strength enhancement plan, no matter how busy her affairs were, she would spare a certain amount of time to cultivate every day.

Although she has hole cards and reliance that ordinary people can't reach, the opponents she will face in the future will only become stronger and stronger. If you don't insist on improving your strength, what will you use to compete with those opponents who have been famous for a long time and are unfathomable?

The Mother Empress is not absolutely invincible, there are always things in the vast sea of stars that can restrain it, the supreme power of the empire is only a foreign thing, and the only thing that can be relied on at a critical moment is still its own strength.

Two hours later, Zhao Xinglan slowly finished his work, and all the star energy that was free from the outside was sucked into a trickle.

Got up and came to the exit, two noble and elegant court ladies in golden dresses had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw her come out, they hurriedly saluted, and one of them said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Baluku has just arrived, and he is currently in the inner study. ”

"Well, Hongu knows. Zhao Xinglan responded and ordered the palace maid to come over and change her clothes.

After a while, she had already changed into a snow-white palace dress. The long black hair is coiled up, the stunning beauty is bright and moving, the majesty on the chest is still about to burst out, a deep ravine is squeezed out between the two plump jade balls, the starlight is sprinkled in the sky, and a layer of light halo as smooth as jade appears on the snowy skin, exuding a wordless temptation.

After walking a few steps from the observation tower, I saw Ji Meng and Yu Menghua coming towards me.

After the situation in the empire stabilized, all the management of the Restoration Organization was stationed in the Imperial Capital Star Domain, and Zhao Xinglan moved the Space Star Gate to the Imperial Palace, so that several female companions who knew each other could leave the earth through the Star Gate to meet her as long as they wished.

"How about it, the scenery on this planet is not bad, right?" Zhao Xinglan said with a smile knowing that they had just come back from a leisurely trip.

The three girls got together and chatted affectionately for a while, Ji Meng hugged her and kissed her, looked at her dress and frowned slightly: "Lan Lan, it seems that it is not good for you to meet foreign guests like this, so let's change into a more conservative set of clothes, right?"

"Uh, okay......"

Zhao Xinglan took a closer look at herself, and also felt that something was wrong. The imperial atmosphere is relatively open, and this low-cut style dress is one of the daily attire of aristocratic women, and the size of her chest is indeed larger, so it looks a little bold and bold. It's nothing in front of them, and you still have to pay attention to your image when you meet your subordinate foreign guests.

Ten minutes later, in the inner study.

“…… Your Majesty, the foreign ministers have already brought you the equipment and materials you ordered last time. ”

Baluku put down the teacup in his hand a little jerky, this drink from the Earth's source star was indeed a new thing for him.

He sat up straight and said softly to the new empress on the throne: "You asked the Chamber of Commerce to provide your empire with two thousand warships and supporting logistics materials every month, as well as mecha and resources for cultivating the Alien Legion, various industrial equipment, etc., and this is no problem. ”

"It's just that I want the brood in your hands...... No, it should be the Mother Emperor, who can produce some special potion resources for us, and we will buy them at a preferential price, or barter them, what do you think?"

After taking control of the entire empire, Zhao Xinglan's top priority was to let go and expand the army.

Ten star fields, nearly 400 administrative planets, tens of thousands of resource planets, and more than 80 billion people. Once the Supreme Ruler has made up his mind and the resources are in place, it is easy to build a large fleet.

That's why she placed a huge order for supplies with the chamber of commerce in Baluku. Although there is a warship production line in the empire, the performance of the warships produced is unsatisfactory and cannot meet her requirements, so it is better to purchase them on a large scale.

Of course, this is only a stopgap measure, and in the future, she will also purchase more advanced warship production lines and comprehensively upgrade the industrial system of the empire, so as not to be controlled by others for a long time.

"Well, I accepted your request. ”

After Zhao Xinglan read the explanatory materials he handed over, he found that it was not beyond the ability of the mother emperor at this stage, but it was just the effort to build a few more biochemical bases, so he happily agreed.

It is indeed a good idea to use the advantages of the Mother Empress to exchange herself for all the resources needed for the development of the empire. Originally, Baluku wanted to provide her with a preferential loan, but now it seems that there is no need.

"Your Majesty, there has been a request from the Federation for peace talks, I wonder how you plan to reply?" asked Baluku again.

Zhao Xinglan said lightly: "If they are willing to hand over the Fengyuan Star Domain, and cede the three Star Domains, and pay tens of billions of Star Dollars in compensation, I can promise to ignore them within two years, otherwise it will ......."

More than two months have passed since the end of that war, and after the unimaginable setback, the federal top has remained silent until recent days. And Zhao Xinglan was busy rectifying internal affairs and expanding the new army, so he had no idea of continuing to fight.

However, this is only a temporary forbearance, and when the training of the Empire's new fleet is completed in a year and a half, the situation will be completely different. What Zhao Xinglan really wants is the entire federation.
