Didn’t you say on WeChat you’d be back soon?” Feng Liancheng glanced at his watch, tone filled with amazement and admiration: “You’re nearly two hours late! You’ve got guts—daring to be late for a UN meeting just to chase a star!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yushu gave her a cold, dismissive glance. He was a metal field awakener, his personality as cold and rigid as metal itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, don’t even mention it!” Yang Yi sat back down with a sigh, sensing Director Zhou’s gaze—she immediately raised her voice to explain: “On my way back, I ran into a gunfight between a group of people. The police had sealed off the whole road—man, it was like an Akka movie! Helicopters were even deployed!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You didn’t intervene… uh, you’re okay, right?” Feng Liancheng’s mouth twisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m fine. The taxi got stuck in traffic. I thought about flying over, but then I figured—this is someone else’s territory. Better keep a low profile. Ended up waiting too long and being late.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly—keep low! The UN hasn’t even announced this to the public yet. If you’d flown in, it’d cause trouble.” Feng Liancheng glanced at Director Zhou, then whispered to Yang Yi: “Next time you want to go somewhere, our bureau has drivers and official cars.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The absurd image of her using a bureau car on public funds to chase a star made Yang Yi cough awkwardly and change the subject: “Why are they still staring at me? It’s… really unsettling…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can’t be helped. Once the UN played your video fighting the sea monster, this moment was inevitable. Our bureau didn’t even want to bring you here—we’d rather hide you, but you’re already exposed. Might as well come and lend some weight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if they were old friends, Feng Liancheng bumped her shoulder, half-teasing: “Did you meet your idol? Get an autograph?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cough, cough… I just saw her from afar…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Liancheng rolled his eyes in exasperation, giving her a look of mild disappointment. Then he switched topics: “Hey, everyone says you’re the strongest awakener on Earth. What do you think?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uncomfortable with his casual familiarity, Yang Yi shrank into her seat: “I think that conclusion is premature. Neither awakener nor alien invasion has been made public—there could be stronger awoken individuals still hidden among the population. Before yesterday, I thought many awoken people could do what I can…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be strong, yet not strong enough to destroy every threat—that’s not luck. It’s sorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Liancheng seemed to understand her mood. “Don’t worry. You’re now an official civil servant of the Xia Nation’s Awakener Bureau. As long as you don’t break laws or abuse power, you won’t have problems.” He patted her shoulder reassuringly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Yi wasn’t used to physical closeness. She smiled faintly but said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the podium, the UN was announcing its resolution: the formation of the International Awakener Alliance, with subordinate divisions for Strategic Analysis, R&D, Logistics Support, and Mobility, composed of elite awoken individuals dispatched by member nations and centrally coordinated by the UN. Its purpose: to unite global awakener forces against alien invasion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The UN speculated that one or more interdimensional portals had already connected to Earth—otherwise, the appearance of these alien lifeforms, which could not possibly have evolved under Earth’s natural conditions, was inexplicable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the International Dark Matter and Astronomical Institute, the concentration of a certain dark matter on Earth had surged sharply over the past three years. Perhaps this was why some people awakened—and why alien lifeforms appeared here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Yi understood why the UN had accepted awoken individuals so quickly—if awoken powers stemmed from dark matter stimulation, then everyone present was a potential awakener.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, given Akka’s past behavior, even skin color triggered domestic racial conflicts—how much worse would superpowers be? They’d have spent years fighting over awoken minorities alone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The UN also announced standardized classifications and tiers for awakener abilities: two broad categories—Physical and Field—and five tiers: D, C, B, A, S, each corresponding to the scope and scale of an awakener’s power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Yi studied the documents, then turned to Feng Liancheng: “What’s the basis for these tiers? I don’t quite understand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Liancheng smiled cryptically: “To avoid public panic, the details here are vague. We have more precise data at our bureau—I’ll send you a copy later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The tier system is based on the scale of impact an awakener can cause—though I can be clearer: it’s based on threat level.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“D-tier means safe: awoken abilities that pose no large-scale societal threat—like my long-range vision, or someone who can control fire but only produces a torch-sized flame, that sort of thing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>C-tier means low threat: if it goes out of control, it’s relatively easy to contain—like a fire user who can cause explosions, but those can be stopped by ordinary firearms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“B-tier means dangerous: requires significant effort to neutralize—like a fire user who can create explosions equivalent to hand grenades, ten or more in number, covering over ten meters, causing measurable societal disruption.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A-tier means extremely dangerous: requires heavy resources to neutralize—like a fire user who can create explosions equivalent to one ton of TNT.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“S-tier means extraordinarily dangerous: requires meticulous, detailed planning to neutralize, or catastrophic consequences follow. For example, if someone can cause damage equal to that giant crab the Hua and Ka nations jointly eliminated, they’re S-tier. That crab was rated S-tier in alien threat classification. If it had even basic intelligence, its tier would be higher—say, SS-tier.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, these ratings aren’t fixed. An awakener’s intelligence, psychological resilience, and experience introduce major variables—a high-intelligence, experienced D-tier awakener can be more dangerous than a reckless B-tier.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Also, awakener abilities aren’t permanent. Research shows they can gradually improve through use—even leapfrogging directly to the next tier.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Yi frowned: “Threat level? So awoken people are now treated as equivalent to alien lifeforms?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t be so sensitive! We need a clear classification system. Awakeners and alien lifeforms appeared nearly simultaneously—this system makes threat levels instantly clear. Even I got stuck as useless D-tier and didn’t complain!” Feng Liancheng grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s my tier?” Yang Yi asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A-tier.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They really think highly of me,” Yang Yi muttered bitterly. “What about him?” She nodded toward Chen Yushu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yushu replied coldly: “Metal field, B-tier.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While they whispered, the podium had begun announcing the first list of nations’ delegates to the International Awakener Alliance—mostly major powers, since smaller nations hadn’t yet reacted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Akka: B-tier field awakener, electrokinesis—Daniel Davies; B-tier field awakener, thermokinesis—Helen Baker; C-tier physical awakener, metalization—John Smith…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ross: B-tier field awakener, gravitation—Andrei Ivanov; C-tier field awakener, pyrokinesis—Vasily Yunitkin…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“India: B-tier field awakener, geokinesis—Hamid Ansari; C-tier physical awakener, sandification—Har Kolaran…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Britain…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“France…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Canada…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Australia…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Yi noticed nearly every nation had sent one or two B-tier awoken individuals. If you included those not yet registered, the number might be higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Yi’s performance yesterday far exceeded B-tier. The UN Awakener Conference had been called in haste, leaving no time for precise evaluation—so only today did she learn she’d been rated A-tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps other nations had A-tier awoken individuals too, but kept them hidden. She’d been sent here precisely because she was already exposed—so they might as well use her to lend credibility. Yang Yi thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xia Nation: A-tier field awakener, telekinesis—Yang Yi; B-tier field awakener, metal control—Chen Yushu…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether to create a dramatic climax or to highlight her unique A-tier status, the podium placed Xia Nation last and shouted “A-tier” with particular emphasis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All eyes turned to her. Silence. Then low murmurs rose, filling the hall with a buzzing hum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice heavy with curry spice spoke up: “I believe the video’s abilities were exaggerated! Online footage is likely edited—Xia Nation’s digital animation technology is highly advanced…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Their country always loves creating icons and propaganda figures. This awakener might just be their puppet!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even if she truly possesses the power shown in the video, she shouldn’t be rated A-tier—B-tier hydrokinesis users can do the same. I think the UN overestimated her…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did the UN even evaluate her? Or do they just accept whatever tier the home country reports?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The assembly hall buzzed with debate—all eyes fixed on Yang Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>",1445,"2026-06-20T07:52:47.920Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","7cbbbf773cc70ecfa7465e122dc9b3f565807fc821e5f0f856fad46669591160","after-becoming-a-god-among-humans-i-just-want-to-chapter-5","after-becoming-a-god-among-humans-i-just-want-to-chapter-3",246,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-becoming-a-god-among-humans-i-just-want-to-cover.jpg"]
