Planet Aino.

This is a highly mechanized planet, with huge machinery everywhere from the sky to the underground.

Green has become a rare color on the entire planet.

Various transport ships float over the planet, and the entire planet has been developed to the limit, and in order to avoid energy depletion, inside the planet, part of the energy source is completely blocked.

The entire planet's land is divided into seven parts, each representing a seat in the Presbyterian Church.

In addition, each elder has his own jurisdiction on other planets, and they divide the assets of the entire family, leaving only a little symbolic meaning for the head of the family.

In the heart of a vibrant, leafy city stands a castle in a retro style.

In the conference hall of the castle, there was a group of people discussing something.

Sitting at the top was an old man with white hair and loose skin, who looked like he was about to die.

His face was covered with brown old age spots, his hands were crossed, and he was wearing a thick burqa, and he looked lethargic.

To his right and left, were three men and three women.

Compared to his old age, the other six people seemed to be much more energetic.

"Patriarch, the candidate for the heir has been decided, it's Judith."

"Judith?"

The old man, known as the patriarch, rolled his eyelids, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, and it seemed to take him a moment to understand something.

"Oh...... Isn't that girl, she's only 14 years old? Can you already become an heir?"

"Patriarch, Miss Judith is 24 years old." Someone next to him reminded him in a whisper.

"Oh...... That's right. ”

The old man sighed and said nothing.

"There was an accident in the family trial this time, and many people have unshirkable responsibilities."

A handsome man sitting on the left-hand side said that he looked young, but his actual age was probably older than most of the people present.

"Someone dares to kill his own people, this kind of person is absolutely unforgivable." A middle-aged woman sitting across from the young man said.

The death of Reina is considered her grandchild, and according to her position, she naturally wants to deal with Ellie Jie seriously.

However, as soon as he spoke, the other 5 people frowned slightly, before the meeting, many things had actually been finalized in advance, and it was inevitable that it would be uncomfortable to suddenly bring it up in the meeting at this time.

"Daniela, we said it before......"

"But Reyna is dead!"

The middle-aged woman frowned.

The 6 people quickly quarreled, this matter involved the interests of their respective small groups, and everyone did not take the patriarch sitting in the first place in their eyes at all.

Under the galaxy, there is an unwritten rule in the circle of starry sky nobles that bloodline inheritance is above all else, and the title can only be inherited by the patriarch.

Therefore, even though the power of the Council of Elders has far surpassed that of the patriarch, the entire family still retains the basic face and rights of the patriarch.

And privately promised that only support, not replace.

Bang!

At that moment, the door to the council chamber was slammed open, and a tall man with a strong body and brilliant blond hair stepped in.

He was followed by two stunningly beautiful twins.

Seeing this person, the noisy atmosphere in the field eased, and everyone stood up at the same time, bowing their heads slightly sideways:

"Great Elder!"

The man nodded, standing across from the patriarch.

"Put the work at hand for a while."

The man looked around, his gaze sweeping over everyone's faces.

"We've got a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if we grasp it, it won't be long before we can become a true starry noble!"

His voice gradually raised, and his words were full of excitement.

"A starry nobleman with the title of baron!"

"What?!"

"Raphael, are you telling the truth?"

"How is this possible?"

"With the accumulation of our family, it will take at least 100 years to barely touch the scale of the titled nobles."

The crowd began to talk about it, and their words were full of doubts, but it was only because of the majesty of the man named Raphael that he did not say it too thoroughly.

Becoming a starry nobleman is the dream of all the families under the galaxy, and no one understands the high threshold and the difficulty of this road better than them.

Moreover, since the establishment of the Council of Nobles, those families that did not become nobles were often short-lived, and soon declined and disappeared into the galaxy.

Natural selection, survival of the fittest.

Behind the glory is a crisis.

Go forward or die.

"Everyone, be quiet."

Raphael raised his hand.

The discussion in the room immediately stopped, and Raphael was obviously more like the patriarch of the family than the sleepy old man sitting on the wooden chair.

"The message is true."

"But it's also very risky."

Rafael turned around, flicked the communication device in his hand, and a pillar of light shot out, forming a hologram.

"Our family relied on heavy machinery to start and mainly produce industrial equipment for the reclamation of the planet, although in the later period, some of them were transformed into weapon production, but the accumulation of technology was too poor."

"Over the years, although some ruins have been discovered in the process of colonizing the planet, and some technologies have been obtained, these technologies are too fragmentary to form a system. So it doesn't help us much. ”

"According to the current momentum, even if there are another 100 years, it is estimated that it will be difficult for us to meet the minimum standard of title nobility."

"And in the next 50 years, if the power of the family cannot have a positive growth, then it is very likely that we will win and decline, and go to the end."

"After all, we're not the only ones in the neighborhood."

"The starry sky is a jungle, and every beast in it is an enemy."

No one interjected, everyone nodded, and they knew that what Raphael said was indeed the truth, and even more serious.

"What are the risks you are talking about?" Someone asked.

Rafael nodded, "Have any of you ever heard of Galaxy Machine?" ”

"Is it the Nicholas family's Galactic Machine?" Someone frowned.

"I've heard of it, but their family's sphere of influence is very far away from us, does this matter have anything to do with them?"

"Yes, and it matters!"

"The Nicholas family is actively preparing to submit an application for promotion to viscount in this noble council!"

"So fast?!"

"I remember that this family has not been able to obtain the title of noble, right?"

Rafael nodded.

"Only 121 years, to be exact."

"What a terrible family!"

Someone lamented.

"The contemporary baron of the Nicholas family, William, is a true genius, and he is still outstanding even if you look at the entire galaxy, and he has officially taken over the family since he was 14 years old."

"In addition to his superb means and management skills, he is also a genius in cultivation."

Rafael's eyes flickered.

"Privately reveal that Baron William has been successfully promoted to the seventh energy level not long ago, and he has the basic criteria for being promoted to Viscount!"
