On the top floor of the Star Tower, in the control center, energy crystals piled up like a mountain around Chen An.
[The master has a high probability of breaking through to the fifth level, but needs persistence]
Chen An devoured a lot of star-crossing corpses some time ago, and today he devoured Jiang Li and his assassins, and his body reached the peak of the fourth level.
"The Star Crosser strengthens defense, which is essentially physical strength."
He was now completely naked, his superpowers transformed into blazing flames, burning deep into every cell.
This process is very painful, equivalent to a railgun bombarding every cell, which will cause damage but will continue to repair itself.
The repair process requires a large amount of energy crystals, but fortunately, this is what Chen An has the most.
[The battle outside is nearing its end, and many people are guarding the Star Tower]
Since he didn't know how long it would take, Chen An gave orders remotely, asking Zhu Die and Rong Hang to take charge of the situation and the others to assist.
"I will follow the Palace Master's orders."
They have already regarded Chen An as the new palace master, and no one questions it.
Next, all departments of Xinggong worked at full capacity, able to persevere even after suffering such losses.
The garrison was temporarily controlled by Guo Yu, and all entrances and exits were blocked.
Hu Mingfeng sent out all the inspectors to arrest people everywhere. As long as they were related to Jiang Li and Mu Lin, they would be arrested regardless of whether they were good or bad.
Zhu Die controlled the scene and ordered the Extraordinary Group to retreat. The other troops went back to where they came from and no one would be held accountable for the time being.
As a result, the crowd gathered in the first circle gradually dispersed and the tense atmosphere eased.
As for the restless civilians on other planets, it is up to the planet masters to appease them, and the headquarters cannot take care of them for the time being.
Fifteen hours later, Chen An, after changing his clothes, left the Star Tower.
Judging from his condition, he looks relaxed, his eyes are calm and he is in very good spirits.
"Brother, are you okay?" Qianqiu had been waiting outside.
Chen An reached out and touched her head.
"It's okay, what time is it?"
"It's the next morning!"
Looking up at the sky, the morning light is bright, as if everything from yesterday did not exist.
Soon after, the news about Chen An coming out of seclusion spread everywhere, causing the Tianwu Continent, which had just woken up from its sleep, to gradually boil.
Beep, beep…
Chen An's watch kept sending communications, but he turned them all off.
Not long after, Guo Yu flew over from a distance with his guards.
He said respectfully to Chen An, "What are your orders, Palace Master?"
Chen An shook his head: "I'm not the Palace Master yet, you don't have to do this. I will return your free access to the Star Tower to you. Get ready for the meeting!"
The notice of the meeting immediately spread throughout Tianwu City, and officials at all levels rushed to the Star Tower, not daring to be negligent.
When they arrived at the venue, they found that the palace master's seat was empty.
Turning around and looking forward, Chen An was talking in a low voice with Zhu Die, and no one dared to approach.
They didn't know what was going on, so they sat down according to their official rank.
In the middle of the first row, Zhu Die's eyes flickered and her face flushed.
"The promise you made yesterday is still valid. You..."
Chen An interrupted: "I forgot what promise we made yesterday. I want to ask you, what are the identities of Guo Yu and Rong Hang?"
When it came to business, Zhu Die stopped joking and said seriously, "Guo Yu and I have the same status, but Rong Hang is not. He may just be simply out of a sense of justice and can't stand Jiang Li's evil deeds. Don't worry, you can just be the Palace Master. We won't interfere with you, nor will we force you to do anything."
Chen An was surprised: "Don't you want me to provide better treatment for the Dark Wizards?"
"No need for that. There aren't that many Dark Wizards to begin with, so why continue to bother? Your becoming the Palace Master is our greatest revenge against the Sky Wizards."
Chen An said: "If I become the Palace Master, I will definitely not appoint a Deputy Palace Master. If you have any department that you are more interested in, you can transfer to it at any time."
Zhu Die smiled lightly: "Let's talk about it later!"
She walked away, grabbed Chu Xiao who had just entered, and went to talk to her in a whisper in the distance.
Chu Xiao was a little depressed, but in fact she wanted to talk to Chen An more.
More than half an hour later, everyone arrived, but one-third of the seats were still empty.
The meeting was still chaired by Rong Hang. He had received instructions from Chen An before, so after a brief opening speech, he talked about the matter of selecting the Palace Master.
There is basically no variable in choosing who will be the palace master, but the process still needs to be followed, otherwise there will be trouble in the future.
"As the Minister of Justice, I nominate Xia Zuo, the Minister of Military Affairs, to be the Palace Master. Who supports and who opposes?"
Everyone immediately expressed their opinions, no one opposed, and it was passed unanimously.
After enthusiastic applause, Rong Hang left the stage and invited Chen An to come on stage.
Chen An was used to big scenes. He walked up to the podium with ease and stood in the speaking area. He looked majestic, like a huge mountain, which made the people below feel nervous involuntarily.
"Thank you for your trust. I will serve as the Palace Master for the time being. If I do not perform well, you can impeach me at any time."
"A lot has happened recently, which has had a huge impact on Xinggong. Therefore, our main task next is to eliminate these impacts and get Xinggong back on track as much as possible."
"First, each department must be flawless and the management team must be perfect. I will recommend some people later, and you can support or oppose them."
"Secondly, the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Supervision must continue their investigation into the crimes of Jiang Li and Mu Lin. They must make all of this public, demonstrating the transparency and resolve of Xinggong's law enforcement. As for the others involved in this incident, they must be punished without mercy."
"Furthermore, I will review the previous policies of Jiang Li and Zhou Yao and modify or cancel them as appropriate. For example, Zhou Yao's dismissal order against Chu Yang will be immediately invalidated."
"Finally, the Tianwu Continent and all the planets suffered significant losses in this election. I hope that all departments will work together to make up for these losses. I don't like to say too much, so let's leave it at that! First things first: there must be no vacancies in the management of each department."
Everyone off the court was in high spirits, this was the big issue they were concerned about.
Chen An paused for a moment and said, "All the ministers and deputy ministers who were originally dismissed by Zhou Yao have been reinstated, such as Minister Yu, Minister Li, and so on."
"The Ministry of Shipping, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Taxation, the Ministry of Agriculture, etc. all need new ministers. You will nominate yourselves and then vote publicly."
After saying that, Chen An walked down the platform and sat on the palace master's exclusive seat, looking completely indifferent.
It seems that he doesn't care, but in fact, as long as he is present, others dare not do anything wrong.
In the normal election process that follows, it is basically the deputy ministers who take the position, which is in line with the procedure.
However, when selecting the Minister of Science and Technology, Chen An intervened.
According to the selection rules, Deputy Minister Qin Wu will replace Lu Zhaoyu as the new minister.
Qin Wu was once Yu Hong's man. He was suppressed after Zhou Yao came to power and was later rehabilitated.
Logically speaking, Qin Wu has chosen the right side and has the qualifications, making him very suitable for the position.
However, many people did not realize one thing. Chen An never took Yu Hong's side. He did not care who the person being elected had supported before. He only looked at whether the person was capable.
Chen An has been in the Ministry of Science and Technology for so many years and is very familiar with Qin Wu.
This guy can be a deputy minister, but he will never be a minister because he is too narrow-minded and unable to control the overall situation.
"Qin Wu still needs experience. I suggest Chu Xiao take on the position of Minister of Science and Technology."
Everyone was shocked. Could Chu Xiao be in charge of the Ministry of Science and Technology?
