NOVEL NEXT Chapter 309: The Second Step to Counterattack
November 20th, Starlight Commander Mansion's Secret Realm.
The Starlight Marshal Mansion's Right Military Adviser came early to open the secret realm's meeting venue, and Emperor Chen of Dachen, Emperor Gao Ye of Qian'an, had already arrived at the venue.
Sitting in the familiar yet foreign meeting venue of the Starlight Commander Mansion Secret Realm, Emperor Gao Ye of Qian'an was full of emotions.
Twenty years ago, he was the Emperor of Da Chen, and here, he also had a place of his own.
When sitting here participating in meetings, on behalf of Dachen, there were only Lingji Star Lord and the Emperor of Da Chen.
But the cataclysm from twenty years ago had directly distanced him from the current center of power.
It also allowed the replacement, National Master Cheng Yuxiao, to gradually grow in status, up until the present day!
Now, he could finally return to the center of Dachen's current power.
Even as an emperor, he felt a touch of excitement at this moment!
"Your Majesty, it's been a long time."
Starlight descended, and it was the Cangming Star Lord who arrived at the venue; Emperor Gao Ye of Qian'an rose to meet him with a welcoming smile on his face.
Subsequently, as the starlight of the Tianyang Star Lord fell, without saying a word, Emperor Gao Ye of Qian'an eagerly bowed in welcome.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, everything has been arranged properly," the Tianyang Star Lord transmitted to Emperor Gao Ye of Qian'an, directly calming his nerves.
The ruling power or influence of the Tianyang Star Lord had always been dominant in the current world, unrivaled by anyone.
In just a moment, Doom-suppressing Star Lord, Emperor Da Hong, and Emperor of Dachu arrived one after another, each greeting Emperor Gao Ye of Qian'an in turn.
Only National Master Cheng Yuxiao had not yet arrived.
Seeing that everyone else had arrived except for Cheng Yuxiao, Emperor Gao Ye of Qian'an was secretly furious.
At such a major event, you Cheng Yuxiao should not be the last to come!
Ambition was not explicitly stated, but it became increasingly evident.
Emperor Gao Ye of Qian'an felt even more convinced that his decision was the right one.
Just before the meeting deadline, National Master Cheng Yuxiao descended in starlight.
"Your Majesty."
Cheng Yuxiao bowed in salute, then stood upright and greeted each Star Lord and each emperor individually.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this Nine-Star Tide is drawing to a close, and all nations have responded very actively. Overall, especially compared to the last Nine-Star Tide, the outcome is relatively good.
But the losses are still quite heavy, especially on Dachen's side, with the greatest losses!
According to the statistics reported by all parties, this battle, in Dachen, a total of four hundred and ten thousand civilians suffered tragic deaths! Two thousand eight hundred cultivators died in battle, with other property losses exceeding ten million taels of Gold.
In the Barbarian Clan's territory, a total of three hundred and sixty thousand civilians suffered tragic deaths, and two thousand one hundred cultivators died in battle.
In Dachu, a total of three hundred and ten thousand civilians suffered tragic deaths, and one thousand nine hundred cultivators died in battle.
In Dahong, a total of two hundred and ninety thousand civilians suffered tragic deaths, and one thousand seven hundred cultivators died in battle."
After reading the statistical data, Galaxy Grand Marshal Wei Xu reported, "This time on the Galaxy Battlefield, a total of two hundred and ninety-seven Alien Realm Star Gates appeared, all of which have been sealed. In each battle zone, fourteen thousand seven hundred and thirty-five people died in action, slaying an excess of two hundred and ten thousand of the Alien Race, achieving great victory!
However, the responsibilities are still significant and the journey is far from over!"
"The number of new Star Domain passages is increasing, and so are the locations needing defense and combat. In the coming years, the focus is still on three points: Supplies, population, and the number of cultivators..."
Subsequently, Wei Xu expressed the hope that all nations would continue to encourage childbirth and cultivation and proposed several policies to encourage both.
Such as continuing to subsidize the cost of Star Pointing, among other policies.
Naturally, all current power titans passed these mutually beneficial proposals.
The meeting quickly approached its end, which caused Emperor Gao Ye of Qian'an to involuntarily sit up straight.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we come to the last agenda item of the meeting. It is proposed by the Tianyang Star Lord that the current Emperor of Dachen has overseen governance and devoted himself to ruling and cultivating virtue over these twenty years, with remarkable results. Dachen's national strength is on the rise today, and in the recent Lougong Battle, it has taken the lead, which is evident for all to see.
Since the Tianyang Star Lord has made the proposal, let the Emperor of Dachen be restored to his rank!
We shall now proceed with voting according to the Starlight Commander Mansion's meeting procedures. Those in favor, by a majority, will allow the Emperor of Dachen to be restored to the rank of emperor and enjoy all the rights of the emperor's position.
If not passed, everything will remain as it is and cannot be re-discussed within three years," Wei Xu said.
To the side, Emperor Gao Ye of Qian'an anxiously glanced at the others present, nervously tallying the votes in his heart.
There were seven votes at the venue, and since the Tianyang Star Lord continued to speak, Emperor Da Hong would have no issue, and following Marshal Wei Xu's previous indication, Tianyang Star Lord said there would be no problem, that's three votes.
With Cheng Yuxiao's vote, that makes four.
Certainly enough to pass!
Furthermore, as per the Tianyang Star Lord's intentions, the Cangming Star Hall would also be notified.
With a bit of luck, the proposal could pass by a high majority or even unanimously!
"Ladies and gentlemen, let's raise our hands to vote."
As Wei Xu spoke, he raised his hand first, "Personally, I believe that the Emperor of Dachen is the leader of Dachen, as well as the maker and executor of Dachen's national policies. Restoring him to the rank of emperor can bring the Galaxy Battlefield and Dachen closer together.
Therefore, I agree to restore the Emperor of Dachen to the rank of emperor."
"I am the proposer, naturally, I agree! Moreover, the Emperor of Dachen has a broad vision and sees things with a long-term perspective. Restoring the rank of emperor is imperative," the Tianyang Star Lord said, raising his hand in agreement.
"The Emperor of Dachen himself is one of the emperors; restoring the rank is also like returning things to their rightful owner!" Emperor Da Hong also raised his hand to vote!
That's three votes.
Emperor Gao Ye of Qian'an and Galaxy Marshal Wei Xu looked simultaneously towards the remaining four individuals, especially Emperor Gao Ye, whose gaze eagerly circled around National Master Cheng Yuxiao, imparting an urging intent.
