You became an emperor by letting me AFK.

Her understanding extends to a wider range, and there is still room for exploration.

The Creator certainly knows more comprehensively.

hum!

As always, the resounding sound was so powerful that it could be heard even in the vacuum of space; it was a spiritual message that echoed deep within the soul.

"It is the will of Heaven; His Majesty is about to descend."

Even after witnessing it once during the Terran Wars, these pilgrims remained fervent. Sure enough, a figure was cast across the horizon—the human form of the Celestial Dao, in its true form.

Xia He emerged from the light and walked gracefully towards them, her psionic projection appearing infinitely vast.

It was even more exaggerated than during the Terra Galaxy War, because it had completed its own status and its cognition had become more stable.

A perfectly prepared state!

She used to feel uncomfortable because of the difference in the flow of time, but not anymore. A quick glance reveals not only the macroscopic but also the microscopic, with unprecedented clarity.

Won't people think I look ordinary with my simple appearance?

It turns out it really doesn't work.

The believers, as always, wept bitterly, feeling that their lives had been worthwhile and that their long journey had not been in vain. They were incredibly excited, having no doubts in the face of such vast spiritual energy, only unwavering conviction that their loyalty to the Way of Heaven was correct.

Xia He shrugged and approached the high priest, who was shrouded in the glow of the sunset. The two exchanged a smile.

"We've only been apart for a few days."

"Your Majesty, the necessary procedures must still be followed. Please make the decision. The entire Great Qian Empire will respond to your command."

Feng Tianyin bowed deeply and waited patiently.

Yeah.

Reopening the permission control panel gave Xia He a very different feeling. It was indeed a program that was specially written back then to make it convenient to add buffs. Some of the missing blessing power was given to it, which was essentially a violent increase in value.

"Let this be the last time I grant this blessing, as a way to accelerate the rebuilding of the empire."

Xia He knew very well that Daqian had simply inherited a mess, a super huge mess, a chaotic mess, a scene of devastation, with almost no good places left.

All of it is subspace.

What good things will be left after all that trouble? Ultimately, it will be up to the Empire to repair it; they need to act quickly.

[Long-term national policy: Imperial revival]

[Description: The victory over the evil forces of the warp is cause for celebration, but it is far from the end. In the dark and desolate era, we lost too much; humanity's territory shrank continuously until it became the scattered fragmented civilizations we see today.]

It is time to rebuild prosperity. We will take the first step under the banner of the Heavenly Dao Sect, pointing towards tomorrow, and making the empire eternal.

[Small Nation: Damaged Area Repair +15%, Territory Core Conversion +10%, Facility Repair Efficiency +20%]

The primary focus should be on repair before discussing further development.

Xia He's choice of this project was considered conservative.

The Empire is not short of territory, and even has an entire star system available for exploration. What it lacks is infrastructure. Too many places have been abandoned over the years, which is a real pity and must be rebuilt as soon as possible.

next.

Her gaze swept over several military strategies, and she ultimately chose the relatively radical one.

Military Strategy: Extermination Order

[Description: To the alien races and remnants of your former tribes still clinging to the ruins of human civilization, your end is nigh. You will become dust in the annals of history.]

[Small Nation: Morale +10% against infidels, Combat Strength +10% against non-human enemies, Military Experience +10%]

Simple and straightforward.

Xia He chose it because it was specifically designed to target the remnants of the enemy's defeated forces.

Whether it's the remnants of the warp or the opportunistic alien forces taking advantage of the chaos, they all fall into the category of enemies. We cannot allow them to disrupt the Empire's national policy of revival; we must take the initiative to strike.

Enemies across the vast expanse of space will feel the vengeance of the human expeditionary force.

[Religious Strategy: The Heavenly Way Cult's Influence on the State]

[Description: The history of the Great Qian Empire, a unified human regime, runs through the development of the Heavenly Dao Sect, making its position irreplaceable and its rightful protector of humanity. Its adoption as a state religion enjoys widespread popular support; the time is ripe, and the Heavenly Dao Sect should stand alongside the Empire.]

[Effect: Religious conversion rate +15%, parish spread rate +10%, missionary efficiency +10%]

It's finally come to this.

Previously, both Xia He and Feng Tianyin were very secretive about the idea of ​​nationalizing religion.

Because faith is a double-edged sword, once the government gives it explicit support, it may allow the faith to shape itself, and even evil gods can be led astray.

They no longer have such concerns.

The two individuals' positions can be described as "self-cultivation and self-nature" in an endless cycle, achieving a state of self-balance. They do not rely on authority, nor are they easily influenced by faith. It would be better to add another policy tool.

Just right.

Its combination with the descent of the divine can maximize the promotion of faith, serving as a means of protecting against pollution.

[Cultural Strategy: Inclusivity]

[Description: Across the vast territory of the empire, countless different cultural backgrounds have emerged. We realize that it is difficult to establish a situation where one entity dominates; seeking common ground while reserving differences is the only way forward. The current Great Qian should seek consensus and unite the cultures of all ethnic groups.]

[Effect: Cultural Stability +10%, Cultural Identity +10%]

The effect was minimal.

Xia He was well aware that the imperial territory was a different story when placed on the interstellar level; it was impossible for the Great Qian to become the sole superpower like Terra.

Therefore, reducing conflict and pursuing uniformity is more appropriate.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Dao Sect acted as a crucial unifying force; otherwise, the departure from the subspace would have immediately triggered a human civil war. To put it bluntly, the cultural differences in some regions are no less significant than those between humans and the subspace, so a period of adjustment is necessary.

Over the long course of history, empires will eventually develop a set of moral norms that share a common denominator.

The last item is:

[Research Strategy: Unearthing Lost Empire Technology]

[Description: Excavating ancient technologies from the foundations of a lost empire remains a cost-effective option and is currently an important research path for the empire. We will build a broad road ahead by standing on the shoulders of our predecessors.]

[Effect: Research Points +10%, Ancient Technology Resolution +25%]

A single numerical value is indeed very powerful, as it aligns with the focus and is the reason Xia He chose it.

The Lost Empire is still dropping gold coins.

With the major decisions now complete, all that remains is to manage specific regions, and the entire imperial map is now laid out before us.

They shine brightly, all awaiting the blessings and favor of Heaven.

Chapter 221, the final chapter.

Xia He glanced casually at the vast star map and a wealth of information appeared.

Very thorough.

These categories encompass a vast array of specific items, including population, productivity, technology, livability, and culture, and can be further subdivided infinitely, down to every city, every street, and even every individual.

It can be seen clearly from both macro and micro perspectives.

Previously, I couldn't do it myself; I had to go through permissions, and the results were incomplete and time-consuming. Now, I can see everything in an instant.

"First, address the shortcomings; those parishes affected by war need the most support."

Although the subspace war has ended, let's not forget that the aliens are still taking advantage of the chaos. It's not difficult to eliminate them on a national power level. The problem is that the Great Qian Empire is too large, and it may not have the advantage in terms of engaging the enemy in a single region.

[Executing the Agenda: "Defensive Warfare" to Combat Aliens]

[Garrison bonus +15%]

When facing the war zone, Xia He basically followed one order: ensure that they stabilized their front line first.

Almost the instant she clicked "start," the people in this area immediately felt a blessing, profound and powerful, boundless and limitless.

"It is the will of Heaven that is protecting us."

The aliens immediately discovered that the defenses they could have easily breached had become formidable. The same thing happened in the border areas of various parishes, and the Empire's interstellar territory became impregnable.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to invest any more resources there. I will have the Imperial Fleet handle it."

Feng Tianyin eagerly proposed, "This war can also refine the Empire's unified military command, and its significance is more important than the Terra system operation."

"Okay, it's up to you now."

The two made a decision in perfect unison: the great expedition they had initially planned.

It was not just a military operation, but also a process of integrating the empire.

The last item.

Xia He has already stabilized the borders of the Empire. What remains are the parishes that are still peaceful and once sent troops in the Terra war, including forces from the broken empire. These are the main forces of the human camp, and some are even on a galaxy scale.

Terra's status as the homeworld of the Holy City is unshakeable, but it is still too young and will focus on religious and political functions.

When it comes to economy and productivity, these are still the factors that have prevailed over the past millennium.

Countless believers yearn for the Way of Heaven.

Trillions of beings are gazing at the spectacular golden clouds against the backdrop of the universe, hoping for blessings.

Xia He had, of course, noticed them long ago. Instead of treating these key areas in the same way, she implemented separate agendas for them, such as the Productivity Agenda, the Financial Agenda, and the Transportation Agenda, to both repair the damage caused by the war and leverage their respective strengths.

Within the vast human empire, these prosperous worlds will continue to provide a constant supply of resources.

hum!

A vast power descended, which every believer could clearly feel.

They watched as the area ravaged by the war in the war space was restored in an instant, the pollution accumulated over the years was swept away, and the psionic energy floating in the air became smooth.

"A new prosperity has descended upon your earthly divine kingdom."

"We will become the Empire's arsenal, and we will make our warships shine throughout the entire star system, just like a glittering star."

"Every subspace passage must be guarded, and the Heavenly Dao Sect's flag must be planted at every key node."
