In addition, any slightly clever noble would know why their subjects are so rebellious and difficult to ta, why managing the planet is so challenging, and why, even with all their might, they cannot create a prosperous planetary civilization like those in other star clusters. The reason is simple: ever since Liu An inherited the title of Nanxiang Marquis, he has been secretly altering the genetic information of the star cluster’s humans, injecting inferior genes for violence, emotional instability, and other traits that are unfit for construction and only suitable for destruction.
Many viscounts even fear that their families have been infiltrated through intermarriage with outsiders. To prevent further deterioration, these low-ranking nobles have to strictly control the breeding and marriage candidates for their descendants, absolutely prohibiting offspring from leaving descendants with commoners; they can only intermarry with families of equal or higher rank.
If they could intermarry with nobles from other star clusters, that would indeed be a joyous and publicly noteworthy event. Unfortunately, the poor environnt of the Nanxiang Star Cluster is infamous, and not many nobles from other star clusters are willing to let their descendants get involved in this ss.
In short, the actions taken by low-ranking nobles are completely out of desperation and can only be reactive.
They have also paid a heavy price.
This price is that the families of many low-ranking nobles have lost genetic diversity and variability, with each successive generation becoming more diocre. This diocrity is vividly reflected in the nine cryo-admins on Source Star.
Instead, it was among the newly evolved offspring on Source Star that a few talents like Hugh Augustus, Ying Hao, Ma Xiaocheng, and Ma Wei’an barely erged.
These low-ranking nobles know this well but are helpless.
It can be said that the world has suffered under Liu An for a long ti.
There must be soone secretly hoping that Ren Zhong can break this deadlock, such as Wen Yuanbo.
However, everyone is smart; Ren Zhong has barely gained a foothold, and no one will rush to express their opinion, but will hide these expectations in their hearts.
First, observe the situation secretly to decide what action to take.
Yet, so people have already made their stand clear, such as Viscount Nan Jiu, Sosgate Augustus.
This "inferior" viscount did not show the attitude he should have towards the Earl, had no intention of coming to greet him, and rely had his official send Ren Zhong a lukewarm ssage via Super Network communication, inviting him to the surface conference of the main star in the South Nine b star system, with an air of arrogance.
In the Throne Hall, the managers were agitated when they heard about this, thinking that this re viscount was too arrogant.
With Ren Zhong’s status becoming increasingly stable, the fleet’s managent has naturally transitioned into Ren Zhong’s personal advisory group.
Moreover, everyone clarified the organizational titles based on related knowledge, temporarily naming it the Source Star Earl Mansion.
The so-called Source Star Earl is just a temporary title; the formal designation will be granted only after Ren Zhong passes the century-long review period and completes the title report.
For those who have just left the lowest-ranking Tracer colony as Empire civilians, becoming advisors to an Imperial Earl is indeed a dream co true.
Their master’s prestige raises them too; Ren Zhong’s status determines the status of these Source Star humans, his subjects, in the Empire.
The crowd also viewed Viscount Nan Jiu’s actions as a severe provocation.
The seasoned Huo Donghua said, "The other side’s rank is a level lower than yours, my lord Earl, and shouldn’t behave in such a way. According to historical records I reviewed recently, if an Earl’s origin planet is located in a Viscount’s star system, it’s a great opportunity for the viscount to establish relations in advance. He should personally visit the fleet to see you. At the very least, the eting place should be near South Nine C Star. Under no circumstances should he comfortably stay at his mansion while, as an Earl, you have to travel to his territory after such a long journey."
Ma Xiaoling, however, was quite straightforward, "I’ve looked through the military codes, and if soone of lower rank is disrespectful to a higher-ranked person, we can legally declare war and beat him bloody. Back when we wiped out the fourth-level Mother Empress, I believe with a little more effort, exterminating Sosgate Augustus wouldn’t be difficult either. It would just be an opportunity to show the restless folks in the Nanxiang Star Cluster that we’re not to be trifled with and effectively prevent these troubles from happening again."
