This was the day Ye Lan had been planning for a long time since he set out.
If Xuanzong wanted to truly break the convention, enter the secular world, and gain everyone's recognition, he had to make outstanding achievements, which he had to show to the public and the official.
This battle was broadcast live on major social media platforms in China and around the world. Xuanzong defeated the enemy with a small force and used a combination of internal energy and metaphysics to defeat the enemy. His methods were strange and powerful, which had a huge impact on the world.
If it wasn't a live broadcast, the audience would probably think it was a movie, with all the gorgeous and cool special effects.
"The mysterious power of the East is truly incredible and shocking."
"I really don't understand why there was a title called the Sick Man of East Asia. Orientals like this are so scary."
"Ancient Martial Arts Realm, Xuanzong, will be my new god from now on."
…
Countless barrages flew out of the live broadcast room, occupying the public's field of vision and appearing in the official monitoring area.
On the top floor of the China Conference Building, the senior executives who had received the news in advance and were watching the live broadcast fell into deep silence as they watched the discussions in various countries and the questions raised by their own people.
After a long time, the leader in the main seat sighed softly.
"At the beginning of our nation's founding, in order to maintain stability, our ancestors adopted a scientific approach, strictly prohibiting anything unscientific and labeling it feudal superstition. However, this also led to our oppression and the humiliation of being trampled upon by foreign powers. The title of 'Sick Man of East Asia' still hangs on our heads today. This is the price we paid."
"To this day, the Chinese still harbor a sense of inferiority, feeling that the great powers are far superior to them both mentally and physically. Sometimes I wonder if this is a good thing."
Governing a country is not easy, especially governing a huge country with a population of over one billion.
A decision made by those in power may affect the fate of the nation for the next hundred years, and a mistake in a policy may affect several generations.
So they have always been extremely cautious and dared not make any mistakes at every step.
Everyone below knew what he meant, and they all looked embarrassed and kept silent.
Because of this decision, no one dared to support it.
After a while, the head of the Special Management Department, who was still sitting at the end of the seat, spoke up. "Chief, I know that something as powerful and uncontrollable as Xuanzong's would be very risky if activated. But the foreign powers have always treated us as a piece of fat meat on the plate, perhaps because our forces are too weak."
Upon hearing this, all eyes at the long table instantly focused on him.
The leader helplessly spread his hands and said bluntly, "I believe everyone can see that Patriarch Ye is a person who cares about the people. Although she has selfish motives, she can definitely do a better job than us in the matter of human survival because she can abandon national boundaries. She now wants to lead the ancient martial arts world out, and she also sees the crisis facing China. In order to avoid being eroded, she wants to promote ancient martial arts. If we can achieve ancient martial arts for everyone, and everyone has martial arts, will the powerful countries still bully us at will?"
Everyone practices ancient martial arts, and everyone has martial arts skills.
What an arrogant statement this is, and what a desirable Chinese world this is.
"This might become a world of swords and sabers, but with the prevalence of firearms these days, countless lives will be lost. Or perhaps everyone fears we'll eventually degenerate into a society ruled by the powerful. But we've even invented nuclear weapons and are powerful enough to counter them. Now, it's simply the combined might of technology and humanity that's formidable."
Whether in public or private, after this analysis, there is actually no harm in accepting the ancient martial arts world.
Hearing this, the leader finally made up his mind and signaled to the secretary beside him, "Send the notice."
"Yes." The secretary's face calmed down and he quickly took the order and went out.
Time passed by little by little, and the battle on the big screen was still going on, but everyone was already watching it with a little distracted.
They are waiting.
Waiting for the historic moment that will overthrow the entire Chinese nation.
Buzz.
A few seconds later, all the phones on the table vibrated at the same time, indicating that new messages had popped up.
Shi Feng, who was sitting in the corner, swiped the screen. What he saw made him hold his breath and widen his eyes.
The National Defense General Institute issued an announcement: The ancient martial arts community will be officially included in the strategic reserve talent, implementing the principle of autonomy, enjoying the first-class treatment of civil servants, and temporarily under the overall management of Xuanzong clan leader Ye Lan.
These two short lines of words and one sentence represent that the official has finally stood up and acknowledged the existence of the ancient martial arts world and acknowledged that the metaphysical power beyond nature is a fact. At the same time, the girl fighting bloody battles in the live broadcast and the Xuanzong disciples beside her are all fighting for the country.
Almost at the same time, the news was updated on all domestic and international social media platforms.
The Chinese people, who had been suppressed for a long time, no longer had to watch Xuanzong fighting alone in a foreign country. Thousands of hackers broke into major official systems in Europe, carrying bright red flags and leaving the words "Xuanzong will win" on the homepage.
Overseas Chinese unconditionally held up banners and donated supplies to implore Xuanzong to protect the students from the East.
Countless Chinese people stood up and cheered for this decisive battle. It was not until dawn that the fountain in the Medical School Square was dyed red with blood, and the statue of the girl standing in it was painted bright red. Only then did Ye Lan sit in the square with the elders and look up at the golden sun.
"It's daybreak."
Ye Lan narrowed his eyes slightly, and his voice was a little hoarse when he spoke, which was caused by long-term dehydration.
They fought this battle for four days and three nights without sleep.
The God-Maker Organization mobilized almost all the mind users and other talented people in Texas, and in the end even the nobles were eliminated.
Unfortunately, hundreds of people were killed by Xuanzong.
And this was just an ordinary battle among the many battles that the ancient martial arts world had experienced.
In places that live cameras cannot capture, in countless crisis moments that ordinary people cannot see over the past thousands of years, the ancient martial arts community has paid with sweat, blood and lives to protect this land.
Now, their efforts are finally being seen.
"Chief, do you think we are doing the right thing?" Nan Xu asked her from a distance.
Revealing the abilities of the ancient martial arts world to the whole world in such a high-profile manner has violated the teachings of the ancestors for thousands of years. Although she has lived for hundreds of years, she is just a disciple of the ancient martial arts world who sticks to the rules.
Hearing this, Ye Lan lowered his eyes slightly, a smile spreading across his lips.
"If the Heavenly Stage can't be restored, we're just old antiques who've lived a little longer than ordinary people. You should ask yourself if you're happy doing this? Are you happy?"
These two questions made the elders look confused for the first time.
After living for so many years and shouldering so many responsibilities, it seems that no one has ever asked them.
It was not until this moment, when they lowered their eyes to look at their scarred hands and bloodstained robes, that they chuckled softly.
"Happy, happy."
"Yeah." Hearing the answer, Ye Lan nodded slightly, and a rare look of satisfaction appeared on his face. "That's enough."
The live camera captured the girl's smile, which looked like a flower blooming wildly among the ruins, breathtakingly beautiful.
