The mortal realm officially entered modern society during this dynasty, making it arguably the era with the strongest enforcement and the most rigorous legislative system in history, forcefully reducing the supernatural crime rate to one-tenth of what it used to be.

High-intensity extraordinary control and low-probability extraordinary events are a blessing for ordinary people; but for those extraordinary individuals who yearn to prove themselves and practice heroism, they become a shackle.

Furthermore, the mortal realm has always adhered to the principle of non-interference with other realms, and even the path of "going to a small world that is in dire straits to act as a savior" has been seemingly blocked.

Without real combat achievements, no matter how outstanding your abilities are, they will ultimately just be a line of cold text on a resume.

This was the most peaceful era, but also an era in which we were forced to settle for mediocrity.

However, from another perspective, being able to stand out in such a peaceful period and become a household name in the mortal world is undoubtedly more valuable.

Mr. Sun is a legendary new star who is rarely seen in the last century.

His real name is Sun Yi, and he was originally an ordinary soldier. As arranged by his superiors, he served as a university military training instructor for half a month at the age of twenty-five, which marked a turning point in his life.

At the time, the Extraordinary Countermeasures Bureau misjudged the intensity of the event, resulting in the otherworldly extraordinary being seizing the [Pen of Destiny].

With the help of that prop, the other party not only successfully found the spatial rift and expanded it to escape, but also moved the surrounding buildings and a large number of innocent people, including Sun Yi and his colleagues, as well as the trainees, totaling nearly two hundred people.

The Pen of Fate is an extremely subtle tool, just like the elusive stance of its creator.

Its creator is Kaphlena, the second daughter of Time, the goddess of probability and duality, and also jokingly referred to as the goddess of coins.

His logic and actions are extreme and contradictory, yet they coexist without conflict.

If you are in dire straits when you first meet Him, and He happens to flip a coin and lands heads, He will do everything in His power to help you.

But you'd better pray you never meet Him again in this life, because a second meeting means you're at the peak of your life, and He will ruthlessly destroy the foundation of your happiness.

That feeling was no less than falling from heaven to hell.

The Pen of Destiny also inherits this characteristic: the holder can seek a way to break the current predicament from it, but in return, you will also incur a corresponding "calamity".

The more difficult the crisis you face, the more dangerous the calamities you will encounter in the future.

What's most frightening is that you have no idea when disaster will strike; it could be hundreds of years from now, or it could be tomorrow.

Only by surviving the calamity can the cause and effect between the user and the [Pen of Destiny] be wiped clean.

The otherworldly being at that time was simply unlucky.

"It's time to pay the price for escaping the spatial blockade, fleeing the Three Rivers Tailor Shop, and the Extraordinary Countermeasures Bureau." This is how the "Pen of Destiny" wrote.

The spatial rift forcibly torn open by the otherworldly superhuman led to the experimental world of a god-level superhuman.

Because the otherworldly superhumans were of such high level, they were immediately identified as intruders by the defense mechanism upon landing and were instantly wiped out like cutting melons and vegetables.

Sun Yi and the others, however, were ignored by the defense system because of their weak strength, and were subsequently rescued by the local survivors.

Unaware of the significance of the "Pen of Destiny," Sun Yi believed that a pen that had fallen from an extraordinary being from another world and remained intact despite such a devastating energy impact must be extraordinary.

He risked everything to retrieve the Pen of Destiny and received its guidance.

[The Pen of Fate] Instructs Sun Yi to choose one person from among his students and writes: [You may not feel anything now, but she will be your most compatible comrade-in-arms and your destined partner in the future.]

Sun Yi: "?" Is this really a reliable investment? The other person is a freshman, seven years younger than him!

The "Pen of Destiny" did not provide an explanation, but only indicated the way to awaken the ability to resolve the current predicament.

Under specific circumstances—at a specific time, in a specific location, with specific stimuli, and through probabilistic anchoring, Sun Yi awakened the ability [Reversal].

This is an ability as rare as [Immunity to All Laws], allowing the holder to ignore the difference in cultivation level and achieve the miracle of defeating the strong with the weak.

The so-called "reversal" means turning one extreme into another.

For example, turning raging waves into a scorching inferno;

For example, it can make a massive object as heavy as Mount Tai as light as a feather.

The higher the user's level, the wider the range of extreme conditions required for [Reversal], and the easier it is to activate.

However, the Pen of Fate did not allow him to use it in such a conventional way; it allowed Sun Yi to directly apply his abilities to his "own level".

How can the lowest and highest levels of transcendence not be considered two extremes?

Sun Yi obtained a Level 9 Transcendent Experience Card without even realizing it.

But this is still not enough to resolve the current crisis. The ruler of this world is a true god-level transcendent being, also ranked at the ninth level.

The reason he didn't cause trouble for the group was simply because he looked down on their insignificant strength. However, if they wanted to leave this world or send out messages, they would inevitably have to bypass the god-level superhumans here.

Sun Yi, on the other hand, is nothing more than a fake ninth-tier. He might be exposed if he holds out for too long, and if he drags things out any longer, he will be exposed as nothing.

Then it was his wife's turn—no, it was the student's turn to play a role.

Her ability is [Sharing], which allows her to connect with multiple people, enabling all connected individuals to share skills and abilities with each other.

Sun Yi, finally understanding the meaning of the [Pen of Destiny], gasped in shock: "Hiss... You mean, all of us nearly two hundred people are going to use our ninth-tier experience cards to stage a righteous gang fight against a real ninth-tier powerhouse?"

Although her level will also increase with your abilities, the pressure of connecting with strong individuals of the same level will increase with the number of people, making it impossible to connect with two hundred people at once.

"I see..." Sun Yi said with some regret, "How many can it connect to? Ten?"

Fifty people is manageable, forty is easy, but sixty people face immense pressure.

"...Our trial cards can't be so weak that they get wiped out in a 1v50 fight, can they?"

【you guess.】

Can we win this battle?

Won.

However, the price was quite severe.

After all, this was ultimately a forced advancement in skill level.

Once the trial card expired, everyone was barely clinging to life, on the verge of collapsing. It was only thanks to the gold coins they had obtained from that god-level superhuman that, and the fact that one of the Connectors possessed healing abilities and cast a powerful healing spell before the card expired, that they managed to hold on until the Superhuman Countermeasures Bureau arrived to rescue them.

News spread quickly that a group of ordinary people, who didn't even know what the extraordinary were, had managed to hunt down a god-level extraordinary being in an organized, strategic, and coordinated manner after accidentally transmigrating to another world.

If this person doesn't deserve to be a rising star, then who does?!

What? You're saying it's the result of behind-the-scenes manipulation by the "Pen of Fate," and therefore doesn't count?

Then why don't you kowtow to it twice and beg it to help you develop an awesome ability?

Anchor? Why aren't you anchoring? It can't be because you're not liked by any girls, and even a pen doesn't like you, right?

The mortal realm has always been pragmatic, and those sour-tongued commenters were basically ignored and relegated to the sidelines. The Extraordinary Countermeasures Bureau was busy inviting people to join, fearing that the Three Rivers Tailor Shop would step in and snatch them away.

For a long time, Sun Yi was a huge mountain hanging over the heads of every new extraordinary person in the mortal realm.

If you can't surpass his record, you don't deserve to be called a genius.

Those extraordinary individuals who were able to kill gods were mostly older than Sun Yi was back then; while those younger than Sun Yi lacked his luck and strength.

Even when Xia Yu stood in front of him, he still looked like a younger brother.

It wasn't until Ji Mo was suddenly recruited by the Sanchuan Tailor Shop that a heated discussion arose, with everyone believing that the second rising star in a century was about to be born.

And that is indeed the case. Ji Mo's progress is remarkable, and his power puts many of his predecessors to shame. The biggest difference between him and Sun Yi is that Ji Mo has not yet achieved the feat of killing a god-level transcendent.

However, Ji Mo still has four years to find his destined rival and surpass Sun Yi's legend.

It can be said that before receiving Jiu Chonglou's list of people to watch, Sun Yi was one of the few high-ranking members of the Extraordinary Countermeasures Bureau that Ji Mo knew.

Its existence is known through repeated comparisons.

I'd only heard about it, but this was the first time we'd actually met.

Upon meeting Sun Yi in person, Ji Mo had a rare, impolite thought: Just how long ago was that ID photo of Old Master Sun taken...?

Contrary to expectations of youthful vigor, he remained calm and indifferent, much like a stereotypical, highly respected elder. He also faced the balding crisis of middle age, with his hairline receding to an extremely dangerous level.

"Why are you here?" Ji Mo suppressed his impolite thoughts; after all, the other party was a respected elder. He looked around, trying to find the guards, but there was no other sign of life in the room. "Are you alone?"

"I'm all alone... Don't be so surprised. I've already reported my situation to the organization. Although I'm all alone, I can get support at any time if I encounter any problems."

Ji Mo breathed a sigh of relief, though he wasn't quite sure for whom he was relieved.

Then he realized something else: "Your level... is it that of an ordinary person?"

"Every comrade who meets me asks this question," Sun Yi chuckled, appearing approachable. "I'm currently in a lying position, so if you think about it that way, do you understand, comrade?"

Sun Yi is indeed the most dazzling new star in the past century. Even in the history of the mortal world, his achievements at this age are among the best. However, he also has the title of "new star of sit-ups".

For an ability to be effective, it must be extreme.

To broaden the scope of extreme concepts, an upgrade is necessary.

You can't have both.

The Extraordinary Countermeasures Bureau attempted to suppress Sun Yi's cultivation level using props, but this method was ineffective. [Reversal] only recognizes the true cultivation level of an individual.

If [Sharing] is performed first and then [Reversal] is activated, a first-tier transcendent cannot provide power beyond their level.

But why does reversing the process before sharing lead to success?

Considering that the Pen of Destiny has completely lost its responsiveness since Sun Yi's return, it would be almost indistinguishable from an ordinary item if it weren't for the faint trace of extraordinary aura still remaining on its body.

The Extraordinary Countermeasures Bureau concluded that Sun Yi's successful activation of his ability largely relied on the intervention of the "Pen of Destiny".

His consistent duality both made him successful and limited him.

This has led to a rather abstract situation: Sun Yi can only fully utilize his abilities in the two extreme states of first and ninth rank, while in other rank ranges, he is no different from ordinary superhumans.

The Extraordinary Countermeasures Bureau gave the choice to Sun Yi, who, after careful consideration, chose to become a first-order extraordinary being.

By sacrificing their own future, they ensured that during their lifetime, the mortal realm could add dozens of mediocre ninth-tier transcendents at any time.

If it were simply a matter of keeping an extraordinary individual stuck at level one forever, it might not sound too difficult.

After all, in other worlds, at least 60% of extraordinary individuals are stuck at the first level for life.

But this is the mortal realm, a vast realm where, apart from certain thresholds, leveling up is as easy as drinking water.

Thus, the extraordinary beings of the mortal realm were caught in a dilemma for the first time: how to suppress their instinct to advance? Especially for someone like Sun Yi, who had experienced the ninth level and whose body and spirit had been greatly expanded, suppressing advancement was even more difficult.

Because of Sun Yi's abilities, the authorities have collected many low-level but special superhumans, including some from outside the organization.

The main reason is that outsiders don't benefit from the bonuses of the mortal realm, allowing them to maintain a low-level cultivation.

Because of Sun Yi's former military background and his special abilities, he was better suited for team operations and was therefore assigned to Group 4.

The group has one leader and two deputy leaders, and the other deputy leader is Sun Yi's wife.

The seven-year age difference that started out didn't seem to matter as they both grew older.

From then on, Sun Yi's life was reduced to two states: either living as a low-level superhuman, or facing tough battles at the ninth-level level once he joined the war.

Obviously, the former is the norm.

Therefore, Sun Yi is also known as the rising star of sit-ups.

Ji Mo knew this nickname, but the lying state mentioned in the nickname clearly referred to the first level.

First-order transcendents and ordinary people are two completely different states.

Sun Yi said casually, "If you are an extraordinary person, it is difficult to suppress the urge to advance. Anyway, you will have to ruin your physical bones. You are not very useful at the first level. It is better to ruin them completely. As an ordinary person, you can stay in the Mortal Realm and be suppressed by the prohibition of extraordinary people, which saves a lot of trouble."

Ji Mo opened his mouth, but hesitated, unsure how to comment on this approach.

According to current intelligence, Sun Yi has broken through to the first tier no less than ten times. Each time he used a ninth-tier experience card, Sun Yi inevitably advanced on the spot, which was impossible to suppress.

Think about it, a cultivator who keeps going back and forth between the first and second realms will severely damage his foundation. This is why even with unlimited healing potions and various supplies, Sun Yi's condition cannot be maintained.

Falling from a higher realm to becoming an ordinary person is obviously more damaging than the latter.

Perhaps this is why Sun Yi looks older than in his ID photo.

But this did save a lot of trouble for the people around him. Ji Mo always felt that saying that the gentleman was righteous was both right and wrong.

This also explains why Sun Yi was able to sit so calmly, unaware of what was happening around him.

He was extremely weak before activating his ability, but he only knew that he could be very strong, and he was extremely calm.

"So why don't you just leave?"

Ji Mo guessed that the strangeness here was also because it had discovered Sun Yi's identity, so it dared not move at all and could only leave him here to entertain.

Sun Yi possessed extraordinary items starting from the seventh rank, used either to save his life or to suppress his level, so Huang Quan really couldn't do anything about him.

"Suddenly I felt like being a Han envoy, so I decided to stay and see how long I could tolerate the strangeness here."

Ji Mo felt this was inappropriate. This was a territory governed by rules, and rules were ever-changing. There might be a way to bypass Sun Yi's protection.

Even if Sun Yi discards the supernatural items that suppress and upgrade him, it will still take some time for him to awaken from an ordinary person to a superhuman. What if something goes wrong?

"Heh, isn't that what Han envoys are like? Either I do whatever I want, or I become the reason for the mortal realm to attack." Sun Yi took a sip of tea, quite pleased with himself: "I still have some weight to my name."

"...Is this Elder Sun's own idea, or the idea of ​​the Extraordinary Countermeasures Bureau?" Ji Mo realized something.

"Oh?" Sun Yi put down his teacup and looked Ji Mo up and down. He was more experienced in officialdom than in the world of extraordinary people, and was particularly good at understanding other people's thoughts. He realized, "Does Sanchuan intend to attack the Realm of Rules again? Is there a sign of its awakening?"

"No, we only found information that resembles the Grim Reaper." Ji Mo picked out the things she could talk about.

So the Grim Reaper incident back then was actually related to this group of strange beings? Besides me, were there other people summoned here? Sun Yi was somewhat surprised that so many things had happened right under his nose.

But considering its bizarre behavior, it doesn't seem strange.

Although Sun Yi guessed that Ji Mo had concealed many key clues, he didn't care: "There are indeed disagreements within the Extraordinary Countermeasures Bureau, and the pro-war faction is louder than expected."

"reason?"

Sun Yi believed this was not a secret that needed to be kept, so he simply said: "Some worlds fear power but not morality, and regard the peaceful attitude advocated by the mortal world as a sign of weakness, so they become more and more demanding. Occasionally flexing their muscles is good for everyone, and the rule world is just the right target to establish authority, but they haven't found a good reason yet."

Was Old Sun also a proponent of war? His health...

Every battle was extremely demanding for Sun Yi, and besides, according to rumors, he shouldn't be the type to be warlike. Ji Mo had some doubts.

"Hehe, I'd better not go into that too much detail." Sun Yi brushed aside the physical problem, his face full of kindness: "But Sanchuan's reason is good, and it can convince the remaining opposition within the bureau. I will bring it up on your behalf at the next meeting."

Now that his objective has been achieved, Sun Yi has no reason to linger here.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Sun."

"Comrade, there's no need to be so polite. Considering the lifespan of high-level superhumans, we're only a little over sixty years apart, barely considered to be the same age."

Ji Mo could only manage a forced laugh.
