On the pristine rice paper, Chen Yu held a brush, his strokes as dynamic as a flying dragon and a dancing phoenix, dotting ink as he wrote down each superpower he currently mastered.
This page was related to "Thought and Will."
Half a minute later, he made the final stroke and looked over his work with satisfaction.
"This writing..."
"Truly resembles writing indeed."
More than a month had passed since his last "visit" to the Human Rights Association headquarters.
In that time, he had accomplished many significant deeds.
First, he established his exclusive auditing agency.
Second, he reached cooperation agreements with several foreign tribes.
Fourth, he oversaw the related construction work of the palace.
Fifth, he organized several "Star of Tomorrow" selection events.
As for why he was organizing these events...
Throwing down his brush and taking off his hat, Chen Yu walked to the mirror and admired the new title above his head—[Star of Tomorrow].
The poor lack money.
The rich lack morals.
The fallen flowers and wilting willows lack an archway.
The destitute scholar lacks recognition.
And he, Chen Yu, lacked a "title."
A proper, exemplary, presentable, fitting—a title.
Now,
after enduring through ages and countless hardships, he had finally awakened a truly "mastered" title—Star of Tomorrow—nearly a month ago.
"Oh Fate, you have finally favored me."
Twirling before the mirror, Chen Yu was utterly intoxicated.
Given the characteristics of his title,
he felt that this Star of Tomorrow title might just be the turning point of his future "title career."
One could imagine that the future titles would surely be more sensational and formidable...
At this thought,
Chen Yu’s chest swelled with uncontainable pride.
He decisively pulled out a new sheet of rice paper, picked up a new brush, and with lightning speed wrote down four lines.
"A sword’s edge comes from sharpening."
"Chrysanthemums tucked deep contain the fragrance."
"Window frames the Qilian Mountains’ thousand autumns snow."
"Door anchors the myriad-mile boat of Eastern Wu."
Brush down.
He stood up.
Looked up.
Exclaimed, "This is my, cultural heritage."
"Bang bang bang."
Just then, the sudden sound of knocking brought Chen Yu back to his senses.
Quickly composing himself, Chen Yu straightened his expression, put his hat back on, clasped his hands behind his back, eyes cold, "Enter."
"Creak—"
The solid redwood door swung open, and the league’s chief administrator entered cautiously, studying Chen Yu’s expression for half a second before bowing respectfully, "Your Majesty, the preparations for the fifth [Star of Civilization] selection event are complete."
"Is that so, quite fast," nodding his head, Chen Yu extended his hand, "Show me the candidate list."
"Yes."
The administrator stepped forward, seemingly conjured a stack of documents, and presented them with both hands.
The document comprised dozens of pages.
And each page listed the superpowers of a dozen or more Transcendents. Explore more at freewebnovel

Chen Yu, holding a pen, spent a full hour to "review" it completely.
"Old rules, those I’ve marked with ’√’, award them all the [Star of Civilization] honorary title, and bring them to me so I can personally present the awards."
"Yes!" The administrator’s attitude was humble as he took the documents.
"Oh right, on your way back take another good look at it twice, and if there are any Transcendents with grade B or higher superpowers I missed and didn’t mark with a ’√’ (isn’t it tiresome to recite), also select them."
"Yes!"
The league’s chief administrator left.
Chen Yu returned to sit on the sofa in Nurturing Heart Palace, propped up his legs comfortably, and belched satisfactorily.
No doubt.
Decades later, he alone had founded the system granting titles to human civilization’s Transcendents.
The main purpose was to facilitate his "skill copying."
’Unconsciously, I’ve orchestrated so many significant deeds.’
"Burp~"
He belched again.
In this period, he had successfully copied over a hundred superpowers.
Including physical, elemental, environmental, spatial, secretive, conscious, causal, and more.
Even the league chief administrator’s A+ level superpower—[Instant Eternity]—had been acquired by him.
[(A+) (Golden) Instant Eternity: As long as consciousness remains, one can rewind to any previously recorded physical state. Brother! You can play TAS now! (Tool-Assisted Speedrun)]
Chen Yu was confident that not even the princess who swam upstream against time and reincarnated through centuries could surpass the number of superpowers he possessed.
"But that [Raging Flame], it’s not easy to handle."
[Raging Flame: The higher the temperature of the flame released, the more intensely one is consumed by fury, gradually losing essence and falling into madness.]
This was the superpower of that A+ level, supreme, red-robed middle-aged man.
Undoubtedly, it was precisely what Chen Yu needed most.
However, regrettably,
the man’s title was already one of the most formidable, [Human Race Strategic Nuclear Weapon].
Chen Yu had bestowed upon him the [Star of Civilization] honor, yet it did nothing to overshadow it.
Even the tried and true [Top Scholar] had been awarded.
And yet, the title [Human Race Strategic Nuclear Weapon] on his head remained unmoved.
If it came to it, the only option would be to kill him and resort to alchemy...
…
Time, and space.
They meld together like carbon dioxide and sugar water in cola, inseparable.
But once the "bottle cap" is opened, the carbon dioxide starts to escape, over and over again. Ultimately, what’s left is just the sickly-sweet sugar water.
In a blink, four days had passed.
In the grand hall of the sacred temple, dressed in a dragon robe and with a solemn look, Chen Yu awarded more than a hundred Transcendents the [Star of Civilization] honor certificates.
