âHand over?â Luo Qiongcang frowned. âBut where will you find such a person? Also, there are 160 over planets in Tenshou Starfield! No one in the Nine Zones could handle a task like this!â
If one person is not enough, then weâll just find a few more.â Chen Xiaobei looked to the people on his right and said, âGentlemen, you can go ahead with your assignments! Just like we planned â you will all take over Tenshou starfield!â
The leaders of the six forces stepped forward, each of them pointing toward the largest monitors in the room which had shown millions of spacecraft.
The four emperors took turns to announce, âGreen Dragon, 1 million spacecraft and 3 million soldiers will be taking over the 30 planets west of Tenshou!â
âRed Dragon, 1 million spacecraft and 3 million soldiers will be taking over the 30 planets east of Tenshou!â
âNeptune, 900,000 spacecraft and 2.8 million soldiers will be taking over the 30 planets south of Tenshou!â
âVermillion, 700,000 spacecraft and 2.2 million soldiers will be taking over the 30 planets north of Tenshou!â
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers came into view on the screen, taking their positions in Tenshou starfield.
Without any military facilities, Tenshou was powerless.
These troops of armed men could easily manage the 120 planets between them!
âThis is such a good idea!â Luo Qiongcang praised. âWith Tenshouâs sovereignty deposed, dividing the starfield and having several forces share the responsibility of governing the different subdivisions would keep the situation under control. It would also avoid driving Tenshou into an upheaval! This is the best protective measure for the citizens!â
âXiaobei! Your plan is flawless!â Luo Puti praised. âNot only did you manage to dethrone the Tenshouâs sovereignty, but you also ended the years of war! You even drew up a masterly plan that circumvented any possible disasters! This is the good fortune of the citizens of Tenshou, and the good fortune of the nine major starfields!â
Applause and adulation sounded from the crowd.
âYou made Tenshou sign the surrender document and accept punishment for his crime, never to emancipate anybody again!
âYou also destroyed Tenshouâs military amenities so that they would never be able to wage another war and create chaos for others!â
âYou divided the rule of Tenshou starfield to prevent the citizens from struggling for power and instigating a civil war!â
âChilde Zhufeng! Your strategy is without any faults, contributing to contemporary times and bringing benefits for future generations!â
The mass of the people had had enough of the war and Chen Xiaobeiâs approach towards Saint Dukeâs problem ensured that the nine major starfields would never have wage war against one another for hundreds of years.
It was the kind of deed that was worth an astronomical amount of merit points.
âOh, by the way,â Luo Qiongcang suddenly asked, âThere are 160 planets in Tenshou. Only 120 of them have been delegated. What about the rest of the 40 planets?â
Chen Xiaobei smiled at his father-in-law. âThe rest of them are at the center of Tenshou Starfield â that includes the capital planet. They will all be overseen by Saint Duke.â
Luo Qiongcangâs eyes widened.
The people of Saint Duke were startled. âMy god⦠Are we hearing things? Childe Zhufeng is giving us authority over Tenshouâs central planets?â
âIncluding the capital planet, there are 40 planets in the center. They are Tenshouâs wealthiest and most distinguished planets! Theyâre ours?â
âThis⦠This is probably the big gift Childe Zhufeng said he was giving usâ¦â
âMy god⦠I have seen all kinds of gifts in my lifetime. Iâve never seen anyone give planets as presents⦠Childe Zhufeng is so damn cool!â
â¦
The remaining two leaders of the major forces stepped forward and announced:
âYewen noble house, 200,000 spacecraft and 500,000 soldiers will be assisting Saint Duke to manage the central planets of Tenshou!â
âXimen noble house, 300,000 spacecraft and 600,000 soldiers will also be assisting Saint Duke to manage the central planets of Tenshou!â
The remaining spacecraft on the screen began to move.
Chen Xiaobeiâs plan had been executed perfectly. There was only one more matter to be addressed.
Chen Xiaobei addressed Luo Qiongcang, âUncle Luo, now that there is nothing else to be worried about, you can sign the surrender document!â
âIâ¦â Luo Qiongcang had barely recovered from the shock.
âXiaobei⦠Your gifts⦠are unbelievableâ¦â Luo Puti stammered.
âItâs nothing.â Chen Xiaobei shrugged. âI would give you everything under the sun if thatâs what you want!
Luo Puti, the ice queen, blushed, her heart melting at Chen Xiaobeiâs machismo.
Chen Xiaobei turned to the Saint Duke emperor. âUncle Lu, go ahead and end this chaos once and for all!â
Luo Qiongcang drew in a deep breath. âI will sign it, of course! But the person whoâs ending this chaos is you!â
The emperor walked up to the surrender document and inscribed his signature under the winning party.
The people of Saint Duke burst into tears of joy witnessing this momentous event.
Finally, after many years of war and suffering, they were free!
Like their emperor, they too recognized that their relief from all the chaos, that they were now able to live in peace and harmony was all thanks to Chen Xiaobei!
To them, he was their deliverer!
Now, there would be even more people remembering, thanking, and even worshipping Chen Xiaobeiâs name!

[For dissolution of war and saving the lives of common people, you have been rewarded with 30,000,000 merit points!]
Ding!
[Congratulations, youâve been promoted to an Eighth-Generation Philanthropist!]

[Charm: 6,217,000; Luck: 6,217,000]
When Luo Qiongcang signed the surrender document, the Heavenly path also acknowledged Chen Xiaobeiâs good deed and requited him with merit points!
âWow⦠Thatâs a lot,â Chen Xiaobei thought. Now, it was Chen Xiaobeiâs turn to be shocked.
