Ch. 361Unifying the Continent
After Star Luo City fell, Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing returned to the Zhu Mansion and spared their remaining family from retribution, then the Spirit Hall Empire conquered the rest of Star Luo and began governing its former lands. The continent came under one flag, though stark differences between the north and south emerged as the new empire settled in.
- Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing visited the Zhu Mansion, reassured the surviving relatives, and warned them not to seek revenge.
- Zhu Zhuyun promised to arrange the release of captured Zhu family members and urged the family to leave Star Luo City and live peacefully elsewhere.
- The Spirit Hall Empire's armies attacked the remaining Star Luo provinces from both sides, and the empire collapsed within ten days of Star Luo City's fall.
- The Spirit Hall Empire extended its tax cuts, road repairs, and relief policies across the former Star Luo lands, where they gradually restored order over five months.
- The northern former Heaven Dou territories proved easier to govern than the south because their people had stronger educational and administrative foundations.
