　　"The gates have been taken care of, but Heaven's Laws are still running rampant. Who knows what kind of new threat will arise?"

　　"What do you want from me?" Li Yiming went straight to the point.

　　"We'd like to invite you to join us in doing what's right. We'll be fighting an endless war if we simply stay on the defensive and eliminate the threats as they come. However, if we can get to the core of it and eradicate the evil from this world..." The president proposed.

　　"What?"

　　"We'll spread belief in human virtue, put simply."

　　Li Yiming remained silent. It was a simple solution in theory, but how could he hope to achieve to do something that countless men wiser than him have failed to accomplish throughout history?

　　"This is an opportunity. What happened at Shangbei will surely shake the beliefs of people all around the world. With a reasonable explanation, the people will surely join our cause and we will be able to achieve what humanity has never been able to do before."

　　"You're not wrong, but is it really enough?" Li Yiming was not completely convinced. A slight deviation from the planned course, and it could result in ma.s.s panic among the population.

　　"The people are scared," Pan Junwei remarked.

　　"But the temples and monasteries are full," the president added.

　　"Should we make use of the existing religions?" Li Yiming asked, as it seemed like a convenient way to guide public discourse.

　　"We can inspire ourselves from them, but we have an a.s.set they don't."

　　"What would that be?"

　　"Guardians," the president said.

　　Li Yiming agreed. Indeed, the presence of people possessing extraordinary powers and capable of almost miracle-like feats was a strong incentive for joining any kind of organized religion.

　　"After exposing the public to the existence of Guardians, and especially after broadcasting what happened back in Shangbei, all we need is a leader figure for people to support and get behind."

　　Li Yiming sank into a long silence. The president's suggestion now seemed somewhat feasible.
