Fantasy: After transmigrating, I effortlessly became a god.

“I reviewed his exam paper, which was full of iron-like strokes and silver hooks. His 'New Century, New Unit' was a fantasy and did not conform to reality. I gave it thirty points.”

The moment the scholar uttered those words, everyone was taken aback, staring at him with strange looks.

Mo Yuan stood up. He didn't object to the scholar's decision. After all, everyone is a scholar of analyzing questions. He had his reasons for giving him 30 points. He was just curious. What would a candidate who got full marks in two subjects write?

"In the spirit of careful reading of the questions, I would like to review this exam paper again, is that alright?"

Mo Yuan asked, "Is that alright?"

Of course you can. You're the person in charge of setting and reviewing exam questions, or the head of the civil service in Guangxiang Kingdom. What can't you do?

Tan Bude sneered inwardly. Mo Yuan wasn't doubting his abilities; he wanted him to cheat.

Walking back into the pile of exam papers, Tan Bude found Zheng Qian's exam paper from the group with scores below 60 and handed it to Mo Yuan.

Mo Yuan took the exam paper; its calligraphy was strong and elegant, confirming that it was Zheng Qian's exam paper.

"New Century, New Unit" is a broad topic with even more content.

Zheng Qian wrote about the common people, the court, the fifty kingdoms, and even those above the fifty kingdoms, including sects, states, and powers.

Most importantly, it wrote about the future.

Zheng Qian's examination paper was not limited to fifty countries, but included fifty countries. His core concept was a completely new and subversive one.

He proposed to integrate fifty countries into a single entity, encompassing the sharing economy, sharing scientific research results, sharing martial arts techniques, sharing education, and so on.

The Fifty Countries section is a new unit, and this new unit is not only geographical but also temporal.

One unit per day, one unit per week, one unit per month, one unit per year, one unit per five years, one unit per century.

Each unit, with its own challenges, is a new unit.

With such a high vision and such lofty goals, even Mo Yuan could only understand fifty percent of it.

He needs to figure out the remaining fifty percent slowly.

After handing the exam paper to the four members of the evaluation team, Mo Yuan stood up, took a deep breath, and decided to reveal some secrets. Otherwise, the scholars would not be able to understand Zheng Qian's core ideas and would think that Zheng Qian was just daydreaming, so they would not be able to give him a high score.

"Scholars, you must keep what I am about to say a secret. After you return to your own countries, please convey it to the Emperor so that he can make his own decision."

The three hundred scholars were completely bewildered. They didn't know what Mo Yuan was up to. Fifty kingdoms were just like this, what secrets could there be?

A very small number of scholars, with serious expressions, were all great masters of their respective nations and had guessed some of the secrets Mo Yuan had mentioned.

Mo Yuan seemed lost in painful memories, his voice low and angry.

"The Fifty Kingdoms have always been harassed by the Demon Radiance Sect, and many other countries are ruled by the Demon Radiance Sect. They are fierce and brutal, and every year they abduct no less than one million infants from the Fifty Kingdoms to practice martial arts."

Upon hearing this, the three hundred scholars were in an uproar.

"Scholar Mo Yuan, really? I've never heard of him before?"

"Alas, scholars, I can testify that everything Scholar Mo Yuan said is true, and it is only the tip of the iceberg."

"I only found out today that the fifty kingdoms were under the rule of the Demonic Sect. It's terrifying."

"One million! These damned bastards, why don't they unite fifty countries and wipe them out together?"

"Destroy? You've got it backwards. The power of the Demon Radiance Sect is beyond your imagination. Fifty kingdoms have almost no power to fight back."

Mo Yuan raised his hand, and the three hundred scholars quieted down. Mo Yuan continued speaking.

"Zheng Qian's 'New Century, New Unit' has a grand goal that is beyond our comprehension, but its essence is enough to unite our fifty nations, enable us to develop rapidly, eradicate the Demon Radiance Sect, and restore peace to the world. Remember, above the Demon Radiance Sect, there are sects; beyond the fifty nations, there are kingdoms; beyond the human race, there is the demon race. Our enemies are more powerful than you can imagine."

"Therefore, I implore you all to copy down 'New Century, New Unit' and take it back to His Majesty for his understanding. We must put aside past grievances, unite the fifty nations, create a new century belonging to the fifty nations, and build a new unit for the fifty nations."

clap clap clap...

Three hundred scholars applauded; they hoped for peace and longed for peace.

They were filled with fervor, believing that the fifty countries represented the entire world. Little did they know that Zheng Qian's examination paper would lead Mo Yuan to reveal such a secret.

After reading Zheng Qian's "New Century, New Unit", the evaluation team was so shocked that they could not express their feelings.

Their vision surpasses that of fifty nations, but whether they can surpass the Southern Region is unknown to them, as they lack the vision to judge.

Wen Xianren stood up and said in a deep voice, "I previously proposed that 'Cross-border Alliances and Diplomatic Strategies for Building a Pluralistic and Symbiotic International Order' should get full marks, but I retract my proposal because it is not on the same level as 'New Century, New Unit'. I propose that the score be reduced from 100 to 98, and 'New Century, New Unit' should take the top spot with 100 marks."

The three hundred scholars had not read "New Century, New Units," so they did not understand why the sage had reduced the score from one hundred to ninety-eight.

They're not on the same level. Could it be that the five of you colluded to cheat on the exam with candidate Zheng Qian?

Tan Bude was furious. He felt that the five people had cheated because he had seen "New Century, New Unit," which talked about shared education, shared scientific research, fifty countries as a unit, and even mentioned demons and humans. He thought it was just a bunch of nonsense and boasting.

Tan Bude stood up abruptly and said loudly, "The questions must be reviewed fairly and impartially. How can everything be satisfactory? I'm giving you thirty points, no change."

The other examiners were dumbfounded; was it good or bad?

"Nonsense."

Among the evaluation team, an old man shouted loudly. He was Yu Daoren, the highest scholar of the Demon Scorpion Kingdom, and also Tanbude's teacher.

Tanbude was a scholar from the Demon Scorpion Kingdom, which was a powerful nation and one of the three major powers along with the Guangxiang Kingdom and the Crescent Moon Kingdom. Otherwise, it would not have openly defied and questioned Mo Yuan.

With a cold face, Yu Daoren stared at Tan Bude and said, "You've made a fool of yourself. You will never understand the meaning of this article because your lifelong achievements are too low."

"Giving low marks to a groundbreaking article due to insufficient knowledge and a narrow perspective—what are your intentions?"

"Teacher, I..."

"Stop talking," Yu Daoren interrupted Tan Bude, speaking in a cold voice.

"If you cannot understand this article, please copy it back and let your country's most learned scholars understand it, and let the Emperor understand it. If even they cannot understand it, it is your loss. The rest of the country will not wait for you."

"Mount Wanyao and the Demon Radiance Sect are forces that could destroy fifty kingdoms at any time. To quote a line from 'New Century, New Unit,' please think deeply."

"If you fall behind, you will be attacked."

Yu Daoren sat down, and Mo Yuan stood up. He needed everyone's agreement to review the exam papers and give them full marks.

"The evaluation team unanimously decided that 'New Century, New Unit' would receive full marks, while the previous full-mark articles would be reduced by two points. The reason is that they are at a higher level, have a broader perspective, and are not at the same level of depth, so they cannot both receive full marks."

As soon as Mo Yuan finished speaking, a scholar immediately chimed in: "Scholar Mo Yuan gives full marks. The fact that Master Wen and Daoist Yu both asked us to copy it back shows that we really can't understand it. I give full marks to them too."

"I'll listen to the evaluation team, full marks."

"We are not well-educated, so we should work hard, follow orders, copy the documents back, and let the Emperor decide."

Tan Bude was still unconvinced and shouted, "Teacher, I'm the top student in the national written exam. How could I not understand an article? I..."

bump……

Master Yu slammed his hand on the table and angrily rebuked, "You shameful thing! From this moment on, your status as a scholar of examination questions is stripped away. You can neither look nor speak. When you return to the country, see how I deal with you."

Tan Bude looked at Yu Daoren in disbelief. "It's just an article. I raised a different opinion, and I'm being stripped of my title as a scholar of essay writing?"

Where is justice? Where is fairness?

"New Century, New Unit" received a perfect score despite the pressure from the evaluation team members.

Of the three hundred scholars, fewer than ten understood its meaning.

The three hundred scholars busied themselves tallying scores and copying rankings, while Tanbude sat listlessly in a corner.

He cannot leave before the results are released.

"Scholar Mo Yuan, the overall ranking and the individual rankings for the six subjects have been completed. Please take a look."

Mo Yuan and the five members of the evaluation team checked the score rankings together, and the scholar who made it onto the overall list spoke.

"It's a pity that Zheng Qian got full marks in three subjects, but his total score was only 328 points, which is not enough to make it into the top 1,000."

Mo Yuan said loudly, "It is a fact that he failed to make it into the top 1,000 of the overall list. Even a perfect score in three subjects is not enough. We cannot change the score. We must be fair and just. The results will be released on time at dawn."

Zheng Qian's understanding was not limited to fifty countries; the five of them had exchanged ideas and reached the same conclusion.

Zheng Qian is a prodigy who surpasses the fifty kingdoms and even the Heavenly Vein Sect.

Tan Bude was furious. Yu Daoren had publicly rebuked him and even threatened to deal with him when he returned to China. He couldn't tolerate this.

I, Tanbude, am a man of unyielding integrity and upright character; I will never bow down to you.

I want to expose your cheating and let the world see the ugly faces of the five members of the evaluation team.
