I Got Ashore, Only to Find the World Was Wrong

On the day of the spiritual qi revival, Chen Zhi had just passed the civil service exam.

Others awakened powers over fire, metal, walking through walls, and controlling water. But what rang out in his mind was:

[Official civil service status detected.]

[Heavenly Mandate of the Official Seal activated.]

From then on, while others grew stronger through supernatural abilities, Chen Zhi grew stronger through his rank.

With temporary authorization, he could take control of a scene.

With a single transfer order, he could seal away supernatural abilities.

By issuing a public notice, he could establish a field of order.

The higher his rank, the greater his authority; the larger his jurisdiction, the stronger his suppression.

When an awakened person shouted, “The rules for ordinary people don’t apply to me,” Chen Zhi straightened his ID badge and calmly replied:

“Effective immediately, you are a temporary subject of control in an anomalous public safety incident.”

Years later, the spiritual qi revival swept across the globe, and divine powers returned to the mortal realm.

Some proclaimed themselves a new humanity; others arrogantly declared that the old gods had returned.

Chen Zhi sat at the highest post in the Order Bureau and stamped his official seal:

“In my jurisdiction, even gods have to register.”
