However, none of that was Li Yao's business.
He did not care who would be the new emperor because they would only be a puppet on the surface and the real power was controlled by Lei Chenghu, Jin Yuyan, and also the King of Black Wind. He was also an influential person in the Imperium who was not a Kurfurst but looked like one.
Li Yao cared more about the reconstruction of the Empyreal Terminus and the modification of the Gold Crystal Pyramid.
The solar storm was highly destructive. Although Li Yao turned off the Gold Crystal Pyramid in time before the tipping point, the aftermath of the storm still wrecked the surface of the capital planet. Also, after Wuying Qi died, the capital had been in complete anarchy.
The mayhem of such an enormous planet could not be quelled by several fleets in a couple of days.
Three months after the battle of the capital, the capital planet was still plagued by the problems caused by the solar storm.
