Seeing everyone staring at him with blazing eyes, their expressions a mix of surprise and anticipation.

"Mr. Li Chen has entrusted us with such an important task, but how should the Elders respond? After all, we probably... don't have that capability, do we?"
"Developing stars was something we never even
