It was a scorching summer day. An old farmer was weeding in the fields along with a few young men. They were constantly on guard, fearing that the demons would attack them. This remote village was not very popular and there was no army stationed here, so it was a place where demons roamed freely.

Suddenly, the sky was filled with rays of multicolored light that blocked out the radiance of the sun. A golden edict appeared in the sky, and the words written on it were clearly seen by everyone.

"The God of Heaven has appeared!"

Seeing the imperial edict shining in the sky, the old farmer fell to his knees.

"Grandfather Qin, what's written on it?"

A youth who was more curious did not kneel down but instead asked the old farmer who was kowtowing.

The old farmer kowtowed nine times before standing up, slapping the youth on the head and scolding, "Shanzi, is your skin itchy? How can laozi work like this if I can read?"

"Xiaoshan, the village's Sir Wang has taken the Elementary Scholar examination. He must know the contents of those words. Let's go ask him." Another youth looked at the shining golden edict in the sky and said.

As for the Sir Wang he was talking about, he was just a scholar who hadn't been able to pass the Elementary Scholar examinations in decades. However, he was also the only literate person in this remote village.

"Why didn't you say so earlier?" The young man reacted and ran, not caring about the smelly mud on his heels.

"Xiaoshan, wait for me!"

The few young men looked at each other and quickly chased after the young man called Shan. They were also interested in the glowing page in the sky.

"Hey, you few brats, why are you running so fast?" You don't know how to wait for laozi! "

The old farmer was also running with his skinny legs. He had a vigorous posture and did not look like an old man at all.

"The heaven and earth are in chaos. Demons and monsters run rampant, and the people do not live comfortably.

Humans are supposed to be spiritual beings, but now that they have fallen into such a situation, they truly should not be in such a situation. This Emperor has felt this and wishes to revitalize humanity.

From today onwards, under the heavens and on the shores of the earth, the people of the Wu Dynasty shall be our citizens!

To revitalize humanity, all that was needed was for the human race to work together.

This Emperor will set up a Martial Arts Practice Hall in each county. People between the ages of five and twenty, regardless of gender, will be admitted to school.

"Everyone is like a dragon that does not kneel to the heavens and earth. To not be afraid of ghosts or deities is the will of this emperor, and is also the goal that all human children strive for together!"

At the village entrance, an old scholar with a goatee stroked his beard with his right hand. His voice was raised and down, sometimes high and sometimes deep.

"Good, that's great. I'm going to register at the Martial Arts Practice Hall today. Is there anyone who would like to go with me?"

Shan Tuozi, whose heels were covered in mud, slapped his thigh and roared. This remote village began to boil with excitement.

The same scene was happening all over the world. People's reactions were different. Some people were happy, some people felt that there was hope, and there were even people who were cursing. This was especially true for some scholars. Li Dao's edict clearly stated that he was a scoundrel of the imperial court. Moreover, it was not hard to tell from the edict that he was a traitor of the imperial court.

In the Crown Prince's Palace, Ning Caichen looked up at the sky. His emotions were in a state of turmoil, and stars were flying all over the place.

With the death of the emperor, Imperial Advisor Ci Antuo had also become Li Dao's lackey. In addition, Li Dao valued Fu Tiancheng, a great scholar who cultivated righteous energy, so Fu Tiancheng was no longer guilty.

At this moment, Fu Tianchen was silent. He was a pedantic person, but he also knew that if the content drawn by Li Dao turned into reality, that would be a blessing in disguise.

Everyone in the world had seen this edict. Some disciples of the sects were enraged. If everyone was like a dragon that did not kneel to heaven and earth nor fear ghosts and gods, then what dignity could these cultivators have?

When some demons saw Li Dao's edict, their mouths revealed disdain. They began to madly attack the common people, causing the world to be thrown into chaos.
