"Mmm, good child," Chen Yu said, his tiger eyes brimming with tears. "You’re all good children. Stand up now; no need to kneel anymore."
After a round of "acknowledging ancestors and returning to one’s roots".
Chen Yu, being the Great Emperor, suddenly found himself much closer to everyone present.
When the noisy chatter had subsided, he then turned his gaze toward the long-haired middle-aged man: "And you..."
"Your Majesty!" the long-haired middle-aged man exclaimed ecstatically, "Could it be that you are also my ancestor?"

Chen Yu: "…"
Chen Yu: "That’s not the case. It’s just that you, you bear a slight resemblance to an ’old friend’ of mine. Hmm. What position do you hold in the Transcendent world?"
The steward, who had waited a long time without a chance to interject, quickly stepped forward and bowed: "Your Majesty, this gentleman is **, a B-class powerhouse, responsible for the position of head of our human race’s Science and Technology Department. Your Imperial Edicts are processed by him."
"Imperial Edicts, huh," Chen Yu mused thoughtfully. "Bring me one to look at."
Soon, a golden scroll was presented by a servant.
Chen Yu took it, inspecting it carefully for a moment. He discovered that the object itself was the scroll he’d imprinted sometime earlier. Only now it had been sheathed in an exceedingly finely woven silk.
With the keen vision of a Transcendent, he could even make out the threads of gold within the silk.
"Why add this layer?" he asked.
"Because..." the Alliance steward hesitated, turning his head to look at one of the three A-class supremes on the platform—the white-bearded old man.
"Because the Imperial Edicts you left behind a thousand years ago were too rough, and the material was especially prone to oxidation and decay," the white-bearded man replied, taking over from the steward. "In order to extend the lifespan of the Edicts and to reflect the majesty of our human race’s Great Emperor, we used precision technology to renovate them."
"Oh," Chen Yu nodded slowly. "So where exactly did you find those ’Imperial Edicts’ of mine?"
On the platform, the three A-class supremes exchanged glances.
The white-bearded old man cupped his hands: "According to the historical records, they appeared out of thin air on the fourth layer of the ancestral tomb. And over the following centuries, they would sporadically appear one at a time."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yu knew that everything matched up.
Setting aside the Imperial Edict, he said to the long-haired middle-aged man: "Do you have any empty scrolls left? Give me one."
The long-haired middle-aged man was stunned for a moment and hurriedly interacted with his "colleagues" around him to find a brown scroll, which he presented with utmost respect.
Chen Yu received it, twirled the scroll in his palm a few times, then proceeded to activate his special ability, imprinting one of his abilities into the scroll.
"Buzz—"
Accompanied by the familiar hum, a dazzling radiance burst forth instantly!
Upon witnessing this,
the hundreds of high-ranking members of the Transcendent world present below,
as well as the three A-class supremes on the platform,
widened their eyes involuntarily.
Especially the A+ class red-robed middle-aged man who had been coldly observing with suspicion since entering the hall, he could not help but be moved at this moment.
To create an Imperial Edict that allowed others to release the "will of the Great Emperor" from thousands of miles away—who else could do that besides the Great Emperor himself?
And even now, the human Transcendent world did not understand where the "divine power" of such Imperial Edicts came from. They could only conclude that the Great Emperor was supported by some civilization.
"Great Emperor," the white-bearded old man’s hands trembled as he suddenly stood up and knelt on the ground with utmost devotion. "You truly are our human race’s Great Emperor!"
"Great Emperor!!!" The Transcendents below, immediately followed suit and knelt.
"Hmm."
After putting down the finished scroll, Chen Yu glanced sideways at the red-robed middle-aged man not far away.
"Great Emperor!" The middle-aged man knelt down on one knee without hesitation, completely submitting.
From that moment on,
Chen Yu knew he had once again successfully taken control of the entire civilization.
"Well then, let’s begin the formal meeting."
Spreading his arms and organizing his thoughts, Chen Yu extended his index finger: "Today, this meeting is very simple. There is only one theme!"
"Two parts."
"Three aspects."
"Four sets of plans; five types of execution; six responses; seven major issues; eight regulations; nine innovations; ten traditions; a hundred ideas; a thousand steps; ten thousand prospects; billion..."
(Great Emperor, may I ask how did you exterminate the Divine Spirit Tribe and Holy Spirit Clan that ruled humans thousands of years ago?
Chen Yu: I don’t really know, I just had a meeting with them.)
…
Night, with the new moon hanging high.
Under the guidance of Li, the Family Head, Chen Yu stealthily left the capital and arrived at the Human Rights Association headquarters in Tang City.
Like the sacred temple and Eden, it was enveloped in a special space. Without someone familiar to guide, one couldn’t even find it, let alone enter.
"Your Majesty, this way, please. Watch your step."
The two proceeded one after the other along the path within the spatial barrier, walking for three minutes. They maneuvered past countless visible and hidden traps and finally arrived at the Human Rights Association headquarters building.
This was a modern skyscraper hundreds of stories tall, imposing and stand-alone in the air.
Surroundings filled with nothingness.
Emerging from the path, it naturally appeared particularly conspicuous at first glance.
"Your Majesty, this is the core of the Human Rights Association," Li, the Family Head, proudly introduced. "It is also the center of our Li Family."
"Why was it built like this?" Chen Yu asked.
"Because skyscrapers are fairly common in civilian societies. I hope to remind the members of our Li Family with this symbol that our mission is to always stand with the common people," Li, the Family Head, stated earnestly.

Hearing this, Chen Yu was deeply moved.
After eyeing Li, the Family Head, up and down for a moment, Chen Yu gave him a firm pat on the shoulder: "Good! Very good!"
"Your Li Family is doing great!"
"Excellent!!"
"Great Emperor, this is what our Li Family ought to do," Li, the Family Head, with a heart that had been held in suspense, finally relaxed.
