243: Ophiuchus

The Galaxy is divided into 88 constellations (some believe certain constellations are not within the Galaxy, but here we will assume they all are, for a unified standard, just think of them as provinces).

The closest to the Galactic Core are Sagittarius, Ophiuchus, and Scorpio.

The Galactic Core is within Sagittarius, making it a crucial area of the Galaxy.

However, Sagittarius is vast, with many areas outside the Galactic Core.

Lin Ye naturally favors the territories within these three constellations.

The Galaxy Lord has over 200, nearly 300, direct disciples, with over 200 of them having reached the Stellar River Level; after all, anyone who can become a direct disciple of the Galaxy Lord is guaranteed to break through to the Stellar River Level, provided they don't fall prematurely.

Three to five Stellar River Level cultivators guard a constellation, and if someone is as powerful as Senior Sister Barbara, she would be specifically assigned to guard an entire constellation.

Therefore, there are roughly one hundred areas still in need of people.

Among the three constellations closest to the Galactic Core, the areas currently belonging to Ophiuchus are Lin Ye's favorite.

"The strongest area in Ophiuchus is actually still short of people," Lin Ye's eyes gleamed.

When he did his homework, he didn't have a map showing occupied territories, he only understood the development status of various planets.

Ophiuchus is located between Scorpio and Sagittarius (also known as the Archer), with a considerable territory, ranking 11th among the 88 constellations, larger than both Sagittarius and Scorpio, which are ranked 15th.

Being close to the Galactic Core and having a large territory makes it a sacred land for development.

Its prosperity is only slightly inferior to that of Sagittarius.

Ophiuchus being short of people, and in its most core region at that, was an immense stroke of luck for Lin Ye.

"I choose Serpentarius A District," Lin Ye decided immediately.

The Galaxy Lord nodded.

"Alright, but it's not just about your choice; it's a two-way selection.

The reason Ophiuchus is short of people is that no one has yet been able to subdue the races within it."

"I'd like to try," Lin Ye said.

With his current combat power, which is close to that of a Master, what did he have to fear?

"Very well," the Galaxy Lord no longer tried to dissuade him.

This disciple of his was very opinionated; since he dared to choose, he must have some confidence.

The emergence of another disciple of the Galaxy Lord was undoubtedly a major event for the un-feoffed territories, and everyone speculated which constellation Lin Ye would choose.

"What? He chose Serpentarius A District? Is he serious?"

"He's too ambitious.

Ophiuchus is not somewhere someone who just broke through can choose."

"There's a good show coming."

Generally, newly breakthrough disciples of the Galaxy Lord do not choose difficult areas, as there are many experts among the common people.

The stronger the area, the more experts there are within it; how would you suppress them?

Fulfilling duties? What a joke.

As a top-tier constellation, Ophiuchus has countless experts, not to mention Lin Ye chose Serpentarius A District, one of its four districts.

Almost everyone was pessimistic about Lin Ye's choice.

One should know that once a territory is granted, it doesn't mean it can't be changed; if your strength is sufficient, you can apply for a transfer.

Most people also choose to accumulate strength in weaker constellations before transferring, rather than being stubborn from the start.

However, transfers can only be decided once every hundred thousand years, and Lin Ye didn't have that much time to waste; a hundred thousand years? He would probably be a Master by then.

Serpentarius A District ~ Ophiuchus Alpha Star, also known as Hou Star.

Hou Star is the strongest star in Ophiuchus, and the Snake-Human Clan born there is a top-tier race.

The Snake-Human Clan excels in medicine, or rather, the entire Ophiuchus excels in medicine.

And since ancient times, medicine and martial arts have been inseparable; Ophiuchus, being skilled in medicine, also possesses profound strength in terms of ability users.

Under the guidance of various molecular-level medical technologies, Ophiuchus's ability users can cultivate with the highest efficiency, and their overall standard far surpasses that of Scorpio, which ranks third.

Aside from Sagittarius, which can suppress it due to its location near the Galactic Core, other constellations truly cannot compare.

At this moment, the leaders of the Snake-Human Clan gathered one after another.

"The Lord's disciple has chosen Ophiuchus, what do you all think?" The leading Snake-Human Clan Empress slowly opened her sensual and charming lips, emitting a deep, magnetic voice.

Her face was as cold and beautiful as ice and snow, exuding an irresistible charm.

Her figure was full and graceful, with a pair of large breasts proudly erect on her chest, and her slender waist twisted with even more allure; however, in stark contrast to this enticing appearance, her lower body dragged a huge python tail!

This snake tail was covered with dense, colorful scales, shimmering with captivating light, and when it swayed gently, it seemed to bring wafts of fragrance.

The Snake-Human Clan is a matriarchal society, and the Snake-Human Empress is said to possess the bloodline of the legendary Medusa.

"Your Majesty, I believe it's just a child's folly," an old Snake-Human minister spoke.

Although her face was delicate, judging by her white hair, her end was likely near.

Even with advanced technology, the Snake-Human Clan still maintains an ancient imperial system, and the imperial power is supreme, not just a superficial formality or a national mascot.

"Indeed, information on this Lin Ye has already been found; the Fusion of three laws is indeed impressive, but he is too young.

If he reaches the Stellar River Peak and his laws achieve great mastery, it's truly uncertain if he could lead our Ophiuchus."

"Our Snake-Human Clan does not need a feudal lord; the noble Snake-Human Clan does not need protection from other forces."

"The previous feudal envoy has already fled in disarray; this one is much weaker than him and simply cannot succeed."

"We need to give him a good taste of the Snake-Human Clan's power."

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

The proud Snake-Human ministers unhesitatingly chose to give Lin Ye a profound lesson.

Empress Diana Medusa lazily watched her subjects make decisions.

As the supreme Empress, she rarely needed to act personally; she would often pose a problem and let her subordinates solve it.

With the votes of her ministers and Diana's approval, the Snake-Human Clan's political stance and specific plan regarding the feudal lord were formulated.

Lin Ye didn't know that the Snake-Human Clan had already developed a strategy against him; he was currently holding a celebration.

A direct disciple of the Galaxy Lord breaking through to the Stellar River Level was a major event that happened only once every hundred years; the last time was Cadillac.

That kid Cadillac successfully made an early breakthrough and was quite the sensation back then.

He, Cadillac, although considered the one with the worst potential among the five in their generation, was the first to break through.

Lin Ye toasted guest after guest; those he toasted were mostly Stellar River Level cultivators, and his two senior brothers also honored him with their presence.

Banquets are often social occasions, and having just broken through to the Stellar River Level, it was a good opportunity for him to meet Stellar River Level powerhouses within the Galaxy.

After some observation, he found that there were indeed many Stellar River Level cultivators, tens of thousands of them.

Of course, this was not all the Stellar River Level cultivators in the Galaxy; many forces only sent representatives.

"Is this what it means to change maps? I never saw so many Stellar River Level cultivators when I was at the Star Domain Level," Lin Ye muttered to himself.

The most Stellar River Level cultivators he had seen were in the Underworld, where there were many Stellar River Level undead.

As his strength increased, his circle slowly became more high-end, and he met more and more people; many who he once considered strong were now merely so-so.
