Chapter 4: I am the Chosen One!

```

The blanket was folded neatly like a perfect square, with all the little fuzzy balls removed, even the fraying threads at the edges were cut off by "scissors" formed by telekinesis. The dust on the floor, the clutter in the corners, the crumbs on the desk...

When Shen Hao first obtained telekinesis, he could barely grasp a pillow without it shaking.

But now, he could do these fine tasks solely with the use of telekinesis.

Even transform it into daggers, scissors, spikes...

It was as if he had practiced for countless years, turning it into an instinct.

Compared to his previous performance, it was like having two different abilities.

It wasn't just several times stronger!

This talent seemed to be more effective in the later stages, but Shen Hao felt more and more that even in the early stage, he could achieve terrifying effects and at least save him a lot of training time.

Even an ordinary person, if they could use their strength to the fullest, would be very powerful!

However, there was no time to explore these thoughts in detail at the moment.

Having become the Chosen One and gained confidence, Shen Hao did not delay any longer, hurrying out, with keys, clothes, and shoes all flying toward him in a few steps.

By the time he left the house, he was fully dressed.

"I can reveal my status as a Chosen One, it's the fastest way to gain status, but the appearance rate of a Mythical Talent is too exaggerated, it's better to conceal it," Shen Hao thought calmly as he drove, quickly pondering in his mind, "Good thing I have Telekinesis, I can use that as my talent, or maybe say nothing at all... It depends on the situation, maintain the mystery."

He had now guessed that this first cheat was for securing his status as "Humanity's Strongest Superpower User" to ensure he acquired the Chosen One identity.

This loophole exploitation was simple and crude.

After all, there were no telepaths in all of human civilization.

But it did bring him a great advantage.

Without telepathy, the initial power of his "Sovereign" talent would have been significantly lower.

Considering the current situation of this talent, its effects would grow greater as time went on!

Driving through the streets, aside from the sight of armed soldiers stationed at regular intervals, there wasn't much difference from the past. However, the remains of the chaos that marked the beginning of "Starfall" could still be seen in some places.

The streets had been in disarray, with many people shouting about the end of the world, and a few even breaking into stores, but they were quickly suppressed by the military who entered the city. Now, schools have resumed classes, and stores are open for business, and order has mostly been restored.

The mother of Shen Hao was named Gu Kaihong, and she worked as a teacher at Donghua First Middle School.

School had just started the previous week.

No one expected such a thing to happen.

Yet, Shen Hao still had an uneasy feeling.

Based on the information provided when his cheat was activated, the Civilization Trial should have begun right after the "Starfall."

But currently, there appeared to be no signs of it.

Even though the initial trial was unlikely to be too terrifying, Shen Hao worried that the other Chosen Ones and even countries all around the world were oblivious to the existence of the "Trial."

There were no clues on the Chosen One interface.

"I have to find a way to provide some warning," Shen Hao thought back to the nightmare of that month, and suddenly felt a heavier burden on his shoulders.

The existence of the "cheat" was the last struggle of countless civilizations; for human civilization to survive the "Civilization Trial," his opportunity was crucial.

Having acquired the "Sovereign" talent, however, he would no longer be shaken by such pressure.

Driving steadily, he soon approached the school.

But then, he frowned.

Military vehicles were blocking the way ahead, and cordon lines had completely encircled Donghua No.1 Middle School.

Every two to three steps, there stood an armed soldier.

```

Many parents who came to pick up their children were blocked on the side.

Shen Hao suddenly had a bad premonition.

He found a place to park, and calmly walked over.

"What happened?" he casually asked someone.

"I don't know." The parent also seemed very anxious, "Those soldiers won't say anything, they just won't let us through. I just talked to my son on the phone, he said someone died!"

"That's right." Someone else chimed in, "I heard the same from my child."

"I don't know who's in charge, what are they thinking? With such a serious incident, they should let the children go home quickly!"

"Someone died, and they still keep my child in there!"

"Exactly, what if my child is traumatized? Who's responsible?"

"..."

Listening to the people around him, one after another, Shen Hao's heart sank even further.

He took out his phone to call his mom and sister, but no one answered.

Even his father, who had arrived a few minutes before him, didn't answer.

In such a situation, he couldn't help but worry.

However, the Dominator Talent allowed him to perfectly control his emotions. Although he was extremely worried at the moment, he remained calm. Looking at the soldiers armed with live ammunition ahead, he directly strode towards them.

There was also a crowd gathered there.

A parent, who seemed to be a high-ranking official, received the same reply: "No one is allowed through."

Until Shen Hao walked over.

He used his third ability from his Talent — Dominator Pressure — cautiously, and on a small scale.

He didn't fully unleash it, just slightly stirred it, yet at that moment, Shen Hao could clearly feel the change in himself.

It was as if an invisible aura had gathered around him and was spreading outward.

So much so that when he moved forward, the once crowded people around him subconsciously, instinctively moved aside, unintentionally creating a path for him.

This conspicuous scene among the crowd immediately caught the soldiers' attention, and as they looked at Shen Hao, they involuntarily tensed up.

They couldn't explain why.

It was as if the person approaching was not a simply dressed young man, but a ruler at the peak of power!

Until an officer, seemingly unable to bear the pressure, quickly took two steps forward and spoke first:

"The area ahead is under control, passage is not allowed, please go back."

Upon closer inspection, it was visible that his hand gripping the weapon was exerting force, sweat was even emerging on his forehead, and his gaze was fixed firmly on Shen Hao!

Even the others seemed to have noticed something.

More and more people turned to look at Shen Hao.

The previously noisy sounds had noticeably quieted down.

However, Shen Hao acted as if he hadn't noticed anything, just calmly looking at the officer in front of him, he slowly said, "My family is inside."

"I am sorry, but no one is allowed..."

"I am a Chosen One," Shen Hao interrupted him.

In an instant, the voices around, which had merely quieted down, completely vanished!
