Three days have passed since the defensive battle at Chang An. Snow fell very heavily, visibility was very low. Even the demons chose not to fight. Build a nest to shelter from the cold that occurs.

The snow fell very thick, the thoroughfare was covered with snow. The battle between the Empire and the demons ended temporarily. Both sides take an unofficial truce.

When winter comes, it's a sure sign that the new year is coming back again. This is the official entry into the fourth year of the Kaiyuan reign. Zhao Lingxin and the government had ruled the country for four years.

But this year is the lonely new year. No celebration No fireworks are set up. Or a lavish celebration of eating because the country is in crisis from the threat of the devil. There is only one short vacation on New Year's Eve. When another day passes, everyone goes to work normally.

The sound of industrial machinery replaces the music of the festivities. Every plant increases its production capacity up to twenty-four hours a day. Workers were split into two shifts for the best productivity. Everyone has to work twelve hours a day.

Everything produced is rushed to the front lines, clothing, uniforms, canned food, and military equipment. Every region of the Empire was filled with the sound of production machines, speeding up the production of goods.

The economy is entirely controlled by the government. Of course, these measures stagnated the Empire's economy slightly. Many capitalists receive only a small portion of their profits as government war bonds.

The capitalist had no choice but to accept these bonds rather than not getting anything back. They are the people who want to drive out the demons the most to restore the prosperity of the economy.

Therefore, it is not uncommon to see businessmen carrying large sums of money and donations to fund the government in their warfare.

In the past Battle of Chang'an, shocking news emerged. The demonic retreat was not a surprise. Everyone was already expecting the devil to retreat. However, what everyone was unacceptable was the appearance of thousands of Martial Artists and was likely on the same side of the army.

"This is a live report from the Chang'an Front. This is a picture of a Martial Artist helping to fight a horde of demons." The news agency reported a good image of the Martial Artists. Of course, the report is published under the supervision of the Office of the Internal Audit Commission.

The government wants to create a positive image of the people who train themselves to be as acceptable to their existence as possible.

"What does this mean?" People were very dissatisfied with the leaked news.

"That's right. I want to know why the government is doing this." Everyone raised this question.

"Our army doesn't need these Martial Artists to help us. The human race can stand on its own." Opposition to Martial Artists erupted in many places. There were protests in the government office to deport the trainees.

Zhao Lingxin, who knew the news, had a headache because the public's response was worse than it should have been.

The negative effects of Zhao Lingxin's propaganda for many years began to show results. The Empire used Martial Artists instead of evil images. Various media and movies were showing the brutality of the Martial Artists.

As long as there is a movie that depicts an Imperial soldier killing a very evil Martial Artist. It will be trendy.

Through cultural fusion, the Empire's peoples have the idea that human beings can surpass the Martial Artists by science. Mankind has been persecuted for thousands of years, instilling great resentment.

The Empire can bring everyone self-esteem.

Therefore, everyone has a reaction to absolutely rejecting the said story.

The textbooks for students are also littered with hate messages and racist policies that have been in existence for many years. These policies are hard to fix.

Even the country's motto, ideology, and visibility Every message was filled with opposition to the Martial Artists of humanity.

When Zhao Lingxin passed the Law, the Martial Artists Act removed these messages and redesigned them to save humanity's greatness.

Even among the parliamentarians representing intellectuals and capitalists, the meeting had begun.

Although Order 44 will repeal the powers of the parliament under the special law, these members still have power. They started a meeting to discuss the trainees preparing to submit this question to the government.

"We have to know why our country has over a thousand Martial Artists." The council members reacted. Zhao Lingxin immediately sent a representative to stop them in order not to escalate the story further.

The council members saw the arrival of the emperor's representatives and shut their mouths, not speaking anymore.

But even though the bourgeois and intellectuals can be silenced, the citizens' side is much more difficult to manage. Zhao Lingxin was unable to send someone to threaten him.

Zhao Lingxin started to see a bad posture, so he followed General Guo Ling.

"Prime Minister, you must find a way to calm the opinions of the people now as quickly as possible. Use all the resources of the government to break up this controversial opinion," said Zhao Lingxin.

"I will go to action immediately," General Guo Ling hurriedly used the prime minister's powers to direct all ministries to seek cooperation.

So this new year is full of chaos. From external problems to domestic risk factors, the government has to clean up stories in the empire first.

The Audit Bureau has taken over all media. Newspaper television and radio let the Ministry of Internal Affairs design propaganda media to persuade the people urgently.

During the New Year and general entertainment programs, this year is also a special interview program, inviting researchers from the Ministry of Education to provide specialized knowledge. Of course, it is a preparation from the government.

"Everyone, don't be mistaken. Actually, Martial Artists are normal human beings, just like us. They just have a way to train to get the superpowers." A researcher was invited to a TV show. For a special interview

"If so, then The Martial Artists are a human race just like us, right?" The MC asked, following the prepared script.

"Of course, they are human beings just like us. If we train the spirits, they can have superpowers like them," the researcher said.

The government also created a documentary in which scientists tell stories to clear people's misunderstandings to accept their human trainees first.

These measures, although not very effective, still have some relief from the stressful atmosphere.

Right now, among the citizens of the Empire, there was some debate about training.

"If the Empire accepts Martial Artists, then why can't we train profound energy?" The glamor of tremendous strength. Including flying in the sky is the dream of every human being. At this time, the Empire was more accepting of Martial Artists. Many people began to question whether there was a way to train one's profound energy or not.

"As I heard, Eastern lands lack the power of the heaven earth. Not as dense as in the middle of the great continent. Therefore, it is difficult for us to gather profound energy." The dialogue of self-cultivation began to rise among the people. For Zhao Lingxin, this was clearly a better sign.

After a while, the people would gradually accept the Martial Artists, which needed a little more time.

Of course, some worries arose.

"If the Martial Artists are on a rampage, what shall we do?" Everyone's concerns in this matter are based on the truth.

When a human being has divine strength. Inevitably leads to greed. Causing trouble and chaos is a problem that some people worry about.

Zhao Lingxin, who saw this, took the opportunity to secretly introduce the law that he had drafted. Disclosed to the public for the first time

The Martial Artist of the Empire Act requires that every person with spiritual energy register their identity with the government. If concealed, there is a maximum criminal penalty.

And also provide opportunities for outside Martial Artists can also register as a citizen of the Empire. With a few conditions, such as must receive special training with the government concentration camps. Upon receiving the diploma, citizenship is granted in everyday life.

Importantly, all Martial Artists must strictly obey the laws of the Empire. There are strict regulations, such as prohibiting the use of energy in community places. Breaking the prohibition of the law will result in severe fines.

Law announced by the government helps some people to feel relieved. People start accepting Martial Artists. Of course, the situation was in its early stages. It was not the right time for Martial Artists to take their stand publicly in the Empire.

But at least for now, the Empire had not completely shut the door on the Martial Artists. There is a way for one line. It is a path for each party to not be too awkward.
