Time, like the flick of a finger.
In the blink of an eye, seven days passed, and time brought us to seven days later.
Within these seven days, the soul orbs collected in Chen Yu’s bedroom had been completely depleted. They brought to human civilization one B-tier powerhouse, twenty C-tier experts, and hundreds of D-tier elites.
This number matched the scale of the initial Transcendent group of the Holy Spirit Clan.
Moreover, due to Chen Yu’s targeted training, the majority of those who consumed the soul orbs were geniuses with "advanced supernatural abilities."
Therefore, in terms of comprehensive combat strength, they far surpassed the Holy Spirit Clan.
With Chen Yu stationed there, and the existence of the mysterious "Great Emperor of the human race" in outsiders’ eyes, the human civilization had officially stabilized its footing.
The rebel forces of the Divine Spirit Tribe and the Holy Spirit Clan were also gradually being eradicated.
Even without Chen Yu having to move personally.
"Well then, it’s time for us to leave," Chen Yu said to the queen beside him while standing on the third floor of the stone castle, overlooking the newly completed ancestral land of humanity: "Are you ready on your part?"
"I’ve been ready." The queen’s face was expressionless as she touched her abdomen: "If it weren’t for you dragging it out, we could have left a week ago."
"OK, wait for me for another half an hour. I’ll make the final arrangements." Chen Yu let out a sigh of relief and clapped his hands: "Someone come."
"Your Highness!" That "top-tier powerhouse" appeared again: "Please give your instructions."
"Bring me the Grand Elder and the Second Elder."

"Yes!"
"And also, call all the nearby Transcendents to gather at the square and wait there."
"Yes!"
Five minutes later.
Two dusty figures arrived, knelt on one knee in unison, and said in harmony: "Your Highness, the queen."
"Hmm." Chen Yu nodded.
"Your Highness, the queen!" They both saluted the queen.
The queen: "..."
Chen Yu: "... What is ’the queen of the queen’?"
"Your Highness, the queen." The Second Elder looked up cautiously: "Isn’t she the queen... Your queen?"
During this time.
They had already heard, more than once within the castle, sounds that they ought not to have heard.
"That makes too much sense." Chen Yu realized, and turned to the queen: "What do you think?"
"Not much of anything." The queen frowned: "I just want to leave quickly. Can you stop dawdling?"
"Just a moment longer." Chen Yu looked down at the great square: "Not everyone has arrived yet."
The Grand Elder and the Second Elder exchanged glances, stood up, and quietly waited in the corner.
For a while.
A sparse group of people gathered in the square.
The "top-tier powerhouse" flew up into the air and stood midair, saluting Chen Yu: "Your Highness, they are all here."
Indeed.
This powerhouse had successfully advanced to a C-tier Transcendent.
He could fly now.
"Good." Chen Yu took a deep breath, organized his thoughts, and flew into the air as well, raising his hands as he surveyed the crowd: "Everyone, I have an announcement to make (I am a dumbass)."
"Because the situation of our human race has stabilized now. All of you are capable of holding your own."
"Therefore, I’m going to be leaving for a while."
As these words fell, everyone present was momentarily stunned.
"Your Highness, where are you going?" The Second Elder hurried forward: "External forces are still watching us closely."
"I’m going to the ancestral tomb to cultivate for a while," Chen Yu pointed toward the soon-to-be-completed ancestral land: "To the ninth level, to be with the Great Emperor. I’m not going far, so don’t worry."
"So that’s it..." The Second Elder followed the direction Chen Yu was pointing, with a flicker in his eyes: "No wonder you wanted to construct the ancestral land."
"Let me correct that. This place will no longer be called the ancestral land." Chen Yu spoke earnestly: "It’s renamed as the ancestral tomb. All the fallen elite Transcendents of humanity will be buried here. And I mean a real burial, bodies must be brought."
"Understood." The Second Elder nodded solemnly: "You are doing this to strengthen our human race’s unity and sense of belonging."
’Bullshit. I’m doing this to make it easier to copy skills in the future.’
Muttering inwardly, Chen Yu continued to address the crowd: "Before I leave, we shall establish the Supernatural Alliance Management Center, authorized by the Great Emperor, tasked with coordinating and leading all of humanity’s Transcendents. Any disobedience will be met with death."
The entire area fell silent.
"The first person in charge will be you." Chen Yu turned to face the Second Elder: "Any problems with that?"
"... No problem, Your Highness." As the only B-tier Transcendent among humans, she knew that this responsibility would fall to her: "I guarantee to complete the mission."
"You’ll report directly to me and the Great Emperor. In the future, you’ll draft the centers’ statutes, regulations, and management methods on your own. I won’t interfere. However, even though I’ve delegated my authority to you, if I ever come out of seclusion and find things unsatisfactory, I’ll exterminate your entire family as an apology to the human race."
"Yes!" The Second Elder straightened up resolutely.
"Go on." Chen Yu patted the Second Elder’s shoulder with a smile: "Director."
He had thought long and hard about handing over the leadership of humanity to the Second Elder.
This old woman possessed a strong sense of justice and decisiveness in her actions, definitely more suitable than the "Grand Elder."
And thinking of the Grand Elder, Chen Yu’s smile vanished, and he waved his hand: "Order concluded, carry it out. Meeting adjourned."
Without waiting for a reaction from the crowd,
Chen Yu beckoned the Grand Elder with a finger, flying back inside the third floor: "As for you, come with me."
"Just me... by myself?"
"Yes."
They entered the bedroom.
Shut the door.
Chen Yu sat down at his desk with a flop, getting straight to the point: "Grand Elder, I also have some arrangements for you."
