Chen Yu immediately strode forward.

His figure hazy, he passed through the wall as if it wasn’t there. He arrived in the room where the two were located.
"X-Ray Vision" + "Hypnosis" + "Phasing" were just three of the powers combined, and Chen Yu felt he had a promising future ahead...
"Your Majesty?" Chen Yu’s sudden appearance caused the steward’s pupils to shrink rapidly, and he promptly knelt on one knee: "When did you arrive?"
"You can leave us, I need to speak with this young man for a moment."
"Yes."
The steward rose to take his leave.
Chen Yu then raised his hand and activated the [Material High-Dimensional Transfer] ability, instantly transporting the alliance steward from the sanctuary to the Qingluo Mountain Range, thousands of miles away.
"…"
To the side, the bearded youth watching this scene grew even more convinced of the Transcendent Great Emperor’s unfathomable powers.
"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live...."
"Enough," Chen Yu grew impatient: "Don’t bother with pointless talk. I have a question for you, do you have a sister?"
"Ah?" The bearded youth was startled: "No."
"Oh, that’s right, you probably haven’t met that little girl yet at this point," Chen Yu mused: "So what is your power?"
"Hiding... like invisibility," the bearded youth replied hesitantly.
"OK."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yu was completely certain.
The youth with the familiar face in front of him was indeed the bearded man who, decades later, would be on the run everywhere with his "monstrous" sister.

’Everything is getting closer now,’ he thought.
Chen Yu’s thoughts were numerous as he reached out and patted the bearded youth on the shoulder: "Young man, I hereby bestow upon you the title of [Star of Tomorrow]."
"Really?!" The bearded youth was shocked, followed by ecstatic joy: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Stay tuned to freewebnovel
The selection events for the title of [Star of Tomorrow] hosted by the Great Emperor were indeed renowned throughout the transcendent world.
Yet almost all candidates that had an audience were stripped of the title after leaving the sanctuary.
Therefore, in the eyes of the bearded youth, the title of [Star of Tomorrow] must hold special significance for the Great Emperor.
It also implied that whoever held this title was bound to have a smoother journey in life.
That was precisely why he was so keen on retaining it...
"I’m not just giving you the title. I’m also going to gift you a treasure," Chen said as he reached out and drew the long sword that was slung around the bearded youth’s waist.
The power within was activated.
"Hum—"
The blade instantly radiated a dark hue.
"Swish, swish, swish—"
With a few quick flourishes of the blade, Chen Yu returned the sword: "Take it."
"Your Majesty, this is..."
"From now on, this sword will cut through anything," Chen Yu said with a smile.
He had imbued the blade with the [Hela Cutting] ability.
Paired with the bearded youth’s inherent stealth power, it was assuredly capable of killing enemies of a higher tier.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" the bearded youth was moved, kneeling on one knee and taking the long swords in hand.
He was inwardly marveling.
As it turned out, the title of [Star of Tomorrow] indeed held a special place in the heart of the Great Emperor.
However, he would never know.
Chen Yu had simply intended to repay him for saving Chen Yu’s family decades later.
"Your Majesty, there is something," the old man with a white beard pushed open the door of the single room and entered, his face grave. He was succinct: "On the fourth level of the ancestral tomb, that male infant you mentioned has appeared."
"Just the male infant?"
"Yes," the white-bearded man nodded. "The young lady you spoke of hasn’t appeared."
"Understood."
Nodding, Chen Yu turned to the bearded youth: "I must leave now, go back. If fate allows, we shall meet again."
Without waiting for a response from the bearded youth,
Chen Yu disappeared on the spot along with the white-bearded old man.
Leaving the bearded man standing there, lost in a daze...
His "son," the esteemed "Peaked Cap" prince, had at last emerged from the "House of Destiny!"
He needed to prepare to welcome him quickly.
This also signaled that the "official" timeline was approaching.
...
In the ancestral tomb, on the fourth level,
Chen Yu brought the white-bearded man with him, appearing out of nowhere in the center of the fourth-floor hall, looking around: "Where is the infant?"
"Right under your feet, Your Majesty."
