Xuanyuan Huangdi felt a bit helpless: "Alright, what do you plan to do then?"
Li Ping'an pondered for a moment, drank some tea, then said:
"The Eastern Alliance should continue to exist. I can allow the Eastern Alliance to not be directly governed by the Heavenly Court for the time being.
"The Heavenly Court needs Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, so it can conduct examinations and recruit within the Eastern Alliance.
"Those unwilling to serve the Heavenly Court can remain in the Eastern Alliance and can be told that its treasures and resources will be exhausted in about twenty thousand years.
"If the Heavenly Court is to maintain smooth operations, then the strength of its forces should be determined based on the number of small worlds it controls. We should recruit as many celestial soldiers as the territory can support.
