Dugu Empress, in the end, died within the rebellion, bearing the status of the Empress of Great Tang.
And not as a rebellious traitor executed for her crimes.
This was the final dignity Li Zhi bestowed upon her.
Thereafter, various worlds under Great Tang began a powerful counter-offensive against the rebel forces, and with the assistance of the Immortal Boat fleet, all the rebel armed factions suffered suppression to varying degrees.
Some rebels hid in desolate worlds, others fled into the boundless starry sky. The once-mighty rebellion that swept across half of Great Tang was thus quelled.
Of course, there was still much for Great Tang to do: continuing the pursuit of hidden rebels, filling the vacancies of governance officials, and pacifying worlds ravaged by the fires of war, among other tasks.
It would take a long time for Great Tang to return to its former productivity.
But this no longer had anything to do with Li Changhe.
