Li Xuanzong's return caused quite an earthquake in the Yinlong Dynasty.
The series of decrees he followed were even more jaw-dropping.
First, he suppressed all objections and persuaded Mr. Chen to issue an imperial edict to fully inform the people of the impending difficulties that Demon Abyss and the human race would face.
You must know that Rosen spent a lot of effort to get the people to slowly accept the existence of the Demon Abyss.
But he weakened the threat of Demon Abyss.
Because this is more conducive to people's acceptance and will not cause too serious consequences.
But Li Xuanzong did not. He even exaggerated the danger faced by the human race and the power of monsters. This naturally caused a huge panic.
For a time, everyone was in danger.
The Hidden Dragon Heavenly Dynasty was in turmoil.
Rosen was so angry about this that he rushed directly to the imperial study and asked, "What are you doing!"
Li Xuanzong, on the other hand, was busy dealing with the memorial and didn't even have time to drink water.
Facing Rosen's questioning, he looked very dissatisfied. He frowned and put down the memorial in dissatisfaction: "Do I have to explain to you what I want to do?"
"Don't think that just because you have become the emperor again, you can do whatever you want." Rosen said coldly: "If you can't explain it properly, I guarantee you will fall from the throne for the second time."
Li Xuanzong glanced sideways at Rosen and uttered two words: "Idiot."
Rosen was about to have a seizure when he saw Li Xuanzong speak calmly.
"Don't underestimate the resilience of our human race. From a weak and ignorant race in ancient times to becoming the overlord of the continent today, it's not just as simple as luck."
"The human race has terrible potential that other races do not have. Perhaps there are many timid and cowardly people in this world."
"But there is definitely no shortage of true brave men."
Li Xuanzong asked with a tone full of doubt: "When an entire race is forced to a dead end, it can often burst out with terrible energy. History has long proven this to us."
In troubled times heroes emerge.
The more turbulent the era, the more strong people will emerge.
During the dark and turbulent period, the human race had far more emperors than Piaomiao Sanren, otherwise it would have been impossible to stop the nine demon lords.
"There was nothing wrong with your decision-making at the time. You tried your best to suppress panic, because no one could control the overall situation at that time and it could easily lead to the collapse of the situation, but it is different now."
Li Xuanzong said confidently: "Because I am back."
"I will lead my people, and the terrible energy that bursts out due to the desperate situation will eventually turn into a sharp blade that pierces the devil's abyss, and I will personally cut off the biggest hidden danger in the mainland for more than 8,000 years."
Rosen didn't know where Li Xuanzong got such confidence.
Maybe all heroes are so narcissistic.
"Then there's no need to deliberately exaggerate the horror of the Demon Abyss, right?" Rosen frowned: "Too much is not enough. If the string is too tight, it will break. Are you really not afraid of scaring the people out of their wits?"
"What I want is to scare them." Li Xuanzong said slowly: "The common people are the best group to fool."
Rosen cursed in his heart: That's not what you just said.
Li Xuanzong said to himself: "If you weaken the horror of the Demon Abyss, when the Demon Abyss really comes, they will spurn you, hate you, hate you for concealing the true situation, and hate you for misleading them."
"But if you exaggerate the danger that humanity is about to face."
"When they find out that it's not that outrageous, they will breathe a sigh of relief and be able to ignite their fighting spirit."
"How do you make sure they don't have negative emotions because they are too scared?" Rosen asked rhetorically.
"I will naturally take follow-up measures." Li Xuanzong said disdainfully: "Those passive and world-weary people are simply pulling the entire human race back. For the sake of the human race, just clean them up."
Fighting and defiance are contagious.
The same goes for negative emotions.
Rosen felt a little cold in his heart.
He was sure that he did not have the talent to be an emperor, and there was no way he could decide the life and death of so many people so lightly.
...
...
Li Xuanzong's subsequent orders were also issued one after another.
The armies stationed in various places began to recruit troops with favorable conditions, and adopted passionate slogans such as "Bless the human race" and "Protect our mountains and rivers".
At the beginning, there were very few responders.
But as time went by, some people gradually began to respond to the slogan and join the army resolutely.
Most of these people are young people, full of enthusiasm. After being scared, they feel very angry and ashamed of their fearful emotions. They are ashamed of their own timidity.
So they chose to join the army.
For a time, various places responded one after another.
After that, Li Xuanzong personally went to the Dragon-Slaying Army to visit Emperor Linglong and Long Xia.
Rosen didn't know what exactly they were talking about.
He only knew that after that meeting, the achievements of Di Linglong and Long Xia began to be widely publicized. After all, they were the ones who had expelled the virtual image of the Demon Lord of All Things.
The two of them were originally from military backgrounds, and their reputation as Dragon-Slaying Army is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
How powerful must the new and old leaders of the Dragon-Slaying Army be?
Coupled with such publicity, the two became famous far and wide. Not only did they become the objects of worship of countless army sergeants, but they also became strong men praised by everyone among the people.
The name of the God of War spread like wildfire.
Of course, there must be Li Xuanzong's push behind this.
Rosen quickly figured out Li Xuanzong's plan, which was obviously to rely on "creating a god" to stabilize the morale of the military and the people.
Indeed, this method can alleviate people's panic to a great extent, and also has the effect of improving cohesion.
The panic was gradually controlled.
After that, Li Xuanzong, as emperor, transferred a large number of exercises from the inner treasury and transferred them all to the army. They were treated equally. Even the city guards in the most remote cities received a lot of exercises.
This move caused quite a shock.
The troops all expressed their gratitude to His Majesty.
However, many sects and families protested against this.
After all, there are many top-notch skills stored in the palace treasury, and many of them even originated from these family forces. If these skills were spread, wouldn't the advantages of big families and large sects be lost?
This offends the interests of too many "big forces".
However, Li Xuanzong directly said: "If you have any dissatisfaction, come directly to the palace and tell me. If any force dares to stumble at this juncture, I will destroy him."
At this moment, all objections disappeared.
Who dares to go to the palace to argue with the emperor?
Even if he is not afraid of Xuan Qingyu, Li Xuanzong himself is a real spiritual emperor.
After returning, Li Xuanzong became more domineering and arrogant, and had no scruples.
Probably not just because of the current situation.
Or because he knew that he couldn't sit on this throne forever, so he simply played a little more wildly. Even if he messed up, he wouldn't be responsible for cleaning up the mess.
In fact, these actions have laid many hidden dangers.
Will overly generous treatment lead to tiger breeding? Will the national treasury be able to bear such a huge consumption? Will the dissatisfaction of those big families and powerful forces lead to catastrophe?
These are all problems.
But he doesn't care.
At least the effect now is gratifying.
For a time, the number of people joining the army skyrocketed, and there were even many well-known spiritual practitioners who were willing to serve in the army.
