Chapter 847 The Founding Family's Movements

In the quiet study of the Grand Chancellor's palace in the C10755 galaxy.

Amidst the wafting fragrance of incense, Lin Qiye was perusing information about the "Remains of the Extraterrestrial Gods" when Ji Changyue tiptoed in.

Compared to her cold demeanor a year ago, Ji Changyue now possessed a breathtakingly alluring charm due to the long-term nourishment from the divine source. Her form-fitting dark purple soft armor perfectly accentuated her voluptuous and powerful figure.

"Master." Ji Changyue walked behind Lin Qiye and naturally extended her soft hand to gently massage his shoulders. Her voice was low and gentle. "The family... just sent a secret message saying that they want to reach a 'deep cooperation' agreement with you."

Lin Qiye raised an eyebrow slightly, put down the scroll in his hand, and casually grasped her hand, smiling playfully, "Cooperation? What does the Ji family have to cooperate with me now?"

Ji Changyue's delicate body trembled slightly as she obediently knelt beside Lin Qiye, raising her cold and beautiful face to truthfully report:

"At first, they had some wild ideas, actually suggesting that they send out the clan's direct female elders as a bargaining chip to exchange for Ji Yuanwu's group who were mining on the second mining planet. After all, two of Ji Yuanwu's people were direct descendants of the main branch."

At this point, Ji Changyue's lips curled into a disdainful sneer: "However, Changyue directly rejected this suggestion. I told them that the rules set by the master are absolute: even if it's just a female elder, or even if the Ji family's matriarch were sent here, not a second less can be spared!"

"Oh?" Lin Qiye couldn't help but chuckle, pinching her fair chin. "Well done, you really understand my temper."

Ji Changyue lowered her eyes shyly and continued:

"After I refused, they got anxious. Especially when they saw that the Jiang family not only sent Jiang Tianlu and Jiang Yuanyuan, but also sent a hundred elite female warriors in a grand manner. The old guys in the Ji family couldn't sit still, feeling that the Jiang family was seizing the 'bloodline advantage'."

"So, they changed their strategy. Now they say they want to send a female elder from their clan to lead ten of the clan's most talented and youngest female warriors to the master for an exchange and learning of martial arts. They call it preparing for the battle against the divine ruins together, but in reality, they want a piece of the pie."

After listening, a strange smile flashed in Lin Qiye's eyes.

"Send a female elder with ten female warriors?"

"The Ji family is much stingier than the Jiang family. The Jiang family gives away a hundred at once, while the Ji family only gives away ten?"

Lin Qiye stood up, walked to the window with his hands behind his back, and looked down at the prosperous Xinghuo City below.

What is the Ji family thinking?

They simply wanted to test the waters, but were unwilling to invest the resources.

But in Lin Qiye's eyes, what reason did he have to refuse assets that were offered to him?

The submission of every Valkyrie and the continuation of every bloodline are the sources of his system rewards.

"Alright, since they want to deliver, let's accept it all."

Lin Qiye turned to look at Ji Changyue, his tone domineering yet composed: "Tell them they can come. But once they enter this C10755 star system, they will no longer be members of the Ji family, but my, Lin Qiye's, private property. Want to learn? I will naturally teach them 'personally'."

Ji Changyue bowed deeply:

"Yes, Master. Changyue will go and reply to them immediately."

Lin Qiye nodded in satisfaction.

……

Inside the council hall of the Ji family's first star system, shrouded in the light of countless stars.

As the communication screen went dark, a chilling and smug sneer slowly appeared on the originally tense old face of the Ji family's eldest elder.

"Elder, that Lin Qiye... he actually agreed? Is he in such a hurry to accept our female elder?" A Ji family elder frowned, his tone filled with doubt and resentment.

"idiot!"

The First Elder of the Ji family suddenly opened his eyes, his cloudy pupils flashing with a venomous glint: "Lin Qiye is still too young. Does he think that just because he has made some contributions on the interstellar battlefield, he can stand on equal footing with us, the founding families with a history of ten thousand years? His arrogance now is exactly what we want to see."

He stood up, walked with his hands behind his back to the huge holographic star map, and pointed to the dazzling point of light in the C10755 galaxy:

"The Jiang family sent a hundred to dilute the risk with quantity; we sent one elder with ten top talents to streamline operations. Lin Qiye thought he was absorbing beauties and resources, but little did he know, he was planting time bombs with his own hands!"

The First Elder let out a chilling chuckle: "When the ruins of the gods open and the ancestors join forces to suppress this fiend, these Valkyries who remain by his side will be our sharpest moles. At that time, all the assets that Lin Qiye has painstakingly built will change hands in an instant, becoming easy prey for our major families to divide up!"

"He didn't understand the Jiang family's intentions, so naturally he won't understand ours. Greed will ultimately lead to his own downfall!"

……

However, there were never any real secrets among the founding families.

The Jiang family's extravagant spending and the Ji family's close follow-up were like a silent thunderclap, instantly exploding in the highest circles of Taurus.

The Yao family, the Ying family, the Sun family, the Xiahou family... these founding families who usually stood by and watched coldly were now completely unable to sit still.

"The Jiang family sent a hundred? The Ji family even sent out an elder? These old foxes acted so quickly?!"

In the First Star System of the Yao Family, the First Elder slammed his fist on the table and stood up: "Our Yao Family must not lag behind in the distribution of benefits after Lin Qiye's suppression! Issue the order to select the 100 most outstanding female warriors in the clan. They do not need to be direct descendants. Please have the Ninth Elder lead the team to contact Lin Qiye immediately!"

The Ying, Sun, and Xiahou families also made similar decisions at almost the same time.

In their view, this is no longer a simple marriage alliance, but a competition for tickets to the future "feast".

As long as Lin Qiye dares to accept it, they dare to give it away!

Even some of the top families in the main star region, after seeing the founding families bowing down, disregarded their pride and frantically sent letters of appeal to the C10755 star system.

……

The C10755 galaxy, the Grand Palace.

Lin Qiye sat on the large black and gold dragon-head chair, looking at the requests for an audience from various families, and immediately smiled.

"The Yao family wants to send a hundred... the Ying family wants to send fifty... and the Sun family even wants to send a branch of their family?"

Qing Luoying and Qing Luoli, who were standing to the side, watched this scene with extreme shock in their eyes.

They originally thought that the actions of the Jiang and Ji families were already defying the heavens, but now it seems that all the top wealthy families in Taurus are lining up to send their own darling daughters to their master.

"Master... I'm afraid everyone involved has ulterior motives," Qing Luoli said with some worry, biting her red lips.

Lin Qiye slowly stood up, his dark purple eyes swirling with an overbearing and mocking arrogance that seemed to transcend all living beings.

"Each has their own ulterior motives?"

Lin Qiye casually waved his hand, approving all the requests for an audience: "I can roughly guess what they're thinking..."

"They're simply preparing for both possibilities!"

"Since they want to send it, we'll accept it all!"

Lin Qiye looked at the densely packed and ever-growing family list on the light screen, picked up a cup of spiritual tea, and shook his head with a profound gaze.

Standing behind him, Qing Luoying and Qing Luoli exchanged a glance. Qing Luoying hesitated before speaking, "Master, based on the number of applicants from these founding families and first-class clans, there are probably no fewer than a thousand Valkyries alone."

Lin Qiye nodded: "Although Planet Xinggong No. 1 is huge, most of its resources and territory have already been occupied by the hundred female warriors of the Jiang family. If we were to squeeze the Yao, Ying, Sun, and Xiahou families in as well, I'm afraid they would start fighting amongst themselves first."

Lin Qiye put down his teacup. Since these families wanted to use this place as a chessboard, he would make the chessboard even bigger.

"The No. 1 Imperial Palace is indeed not enough."

Lin Qiye looked at the two sisters, his tone calm yet exuding a domineering air of someone who ruled the galaxy: "Issue my decree: within the C10755 galaxy, officially establish 'Palace No. 2' to 'Palace No. 9,' a total of eight habitable planets, all designated as Palace Planets!"

"Tell those families to allocate planets according to their strength and the number of people they send."

Qing Luoli was taken aback and whispered a reminder, "Master, three of these eight planets are 'pioneer planets' that have just completed environmental modification. There are tens of millions of pioneer pioneers and garrison troops on them who are mining resources and building homes. If we forcibly requisition them..."

Lin Qiye waved his hand: "The requisition order will be issued immediately, but I am not an unreasonable person."

"Give the pioneers and families of the requisitioned planets two choices:"

"First, relocate them to the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth star systems in the Azure Feather Star Region. Those areas have good security and a stable environment. As compensation, provide them with double the asset compensation and resource allocation!"

"Secondly," Lin Qiye's eyes revealed a deeper meaning, "we will relocate to Star Sector 075, which is the border territory of Taurus! Although the psionic energy there is not as concentrated as in the main star sector, it is my absolute territory, with fewer rules and a large area. As long as they are willing to go, I will give them ten times the amount of their assets as compensation and grant them high-ranking local administrative titles!"

"A generous reward will surely attract brave men. Those who want stability will choose the first option, while those who want to gamble for riches will choose the second. In short, within a month, I want the first planet ready, and within a year, I want all eight planets completely cleared out."

Qing Luoying hurriedly wrote down this amazing instruction, secretly marveling at her master's skill.

Tenfold compensation, or even being sent to the border to become a local tyrant, was an earth-shattering blessing for those pioneers struggling at the bottom.

For Lin Qiye, not only did he solve the overcrowding problem at the imperial palace, he also conveniently solved the overcrowding problem here.
