Chapter 914: Show Me Everything You’ve Got

As the wind swept across the planet, pure life force flooded every corner of the world.

A miracle of life unfolded before everyone's eyes.

Vegetation flourished at an astonishing pace.

Within mere hours, plants completed years' worth of growth.

When the wind finally subsided, every trace of the curse had vanished.

Though the dead could not be brought back to life, the crisis on Planet No. 105-3 had been completely resolved.

At that moment, everyone received a notification from the Human Emperor Network.

[Mission completed. Calculating rewards…]

Moments later, their individual settlements arrived.

As they checked their rewards, a mixture of exasperation, amusement, and resignation spread across their faces.

"How many points did you get?"

"Five. After deducting the round-trip travel cost, I only made a profit of 1 point."

"Haha, I did a little better—I got 10 points."

"This mission was so frustrating, and the reward is pathetically low."

"That's because your contribution was too small. I got 20 points."

"I wonder how many points he received."

Everyone's attention naturally turned to Lin Moyu.

After all, he had practically completed the entire mission by himself.

He had treated the infected, tracked down the Shadowgnats, killed them, and finally dispelled the curse.

Despite being only a 3rd tier Transcendent God, Lin Moyu had displayed strength that left everyone speechless.

No one could even bring themselves to envy him.

He had earned every bit of it through his own ability, without relying on luck or underhanded methods.

Besides, envy only held a person back.

One of humanity's long-standing teachings was simple: never envy others.

If someone surpassed you, work harder until you caught up.

Jealousy was the most pointless of emotions and deserved to be discarded.

Lin Moyu also received his reward notifications.

The moment he read them, a faint smile appeared in his eyes.

[Task 1: locate and eliminate the invading other race powerhouses.]

[Completion: 100%]

[Reward: 500 points]

[Task 2: purge the curse and restore the inhabited planet.]

[Completion: 100%]

[Reward: 300 points]

[Task 3: rescue and treat the human survivors.]

[Completion: 100%]

[Reward: 200 points]

[All three tasks completed flawlessly. Overall completion: 100%. Total rewards doubled.]

A total of 2,000 points was added to his account.

His balance rose to 10,342 (3,250).

Earning 2,000 points from a single mission was an incredible windfall.

If only every emergency mission paid this well.

A few more of these, and he'd have enough to upgrade his authority to level 3.

Just then, another notification appeared.

[Special mission: proceed to the Uninhabited Star System 000066.]

Lin Moyu checked the mission details.

The destination lay nearly 1,500 light-years away.

Teleporting there normally would cost 150 points, and more importantly, his current authority wasn't even sufficient to travel that far.

Then another line appeared beneath the mission description.

[Accepting this special mission will teleport you directly to the destination, bypassing all realm and authority travel restrictions.]

Lin Moyu paused in surprise.

He hadn't expected such a privilege.

Special missions truly lived up to their name.

They were exceptionally rare and only appeared under specific circumstances.

Although he had no idea what had triggered this one, there was no reason to refuse.

The instant he accepted, a spatial channel materialized before him and swallowed him whole.

…

Far away, on Vermilion Bird Planet No. 01, Third Zhu received the news almost simultaneously.

"Field Lord, the special mission has been assigned according to your instructions."

Third Zhu asked, "Did he accept it?"

"Yes. He has accepted the mission and is now en route to Vermilion Bird Uninhabited Planet No. 000066."

Third Zhu burst into hearty laughter, "Excellent."

"Keep watching him and report every move he makes."

"Understood."

After ending the communication, Third Zhu laughed once more.

"To emerge completely unharmed from the Star Essence Fire... his defense is already comparable to that of a True God.”

"After obtaining the Starfire Metal Vein, he must have also acquired Starfire Essence Metal."

"And then he purchased the soul armor forging method and used the method to forge soul armor for himself."

"That means his soul force is extremely abundant as well."

"Little fellow, just how many surprises are you hiding? Come, show me everything you've got."

Every one of Lin Moyu's experiences had been accurately deduced by Third Zhu.

After all, everything Lin Moyu had done had taken place in plain sight.

Given Third Zhu's status, a brief investigation coupled with a few deductions was enough for him to piece together eighty to ninety percent of the truth.

Lin Moyu's performance far exceeded all of his expectations.

Clearing the Meteor Secret Realm as a 1st tier Transcendent God proved that he possessed exceptional perception and combat prowess far beyond his cultivation realm.

Emerging unharmed from the Star Essence Fire and obtaining a massive quantity of Starfire Metal further demonstrated both his overwhelming combat strength and astonishing defensive capabilities.

Finally, successfully forging soul armor through the soul forging method proved that his soul was just as formidable.

Keen perception, overwhelming offense, impregnable defense, and immense soul force—he excelled in every aspect without a single weakness.

Furthermore, he was only twenty-eight years old, and his potential evaluation was legendary.

Third Zhu no longer knew how to describe someone like Lin Moyu.

His very existence was nothing short of a miracle.

Third Zhu decided to document everything Lin Moyu accomplished before reporting it to the City Lord.

Perhaps Lin Moyu would catch the City Lord's attention and even be accepted as his disciple.

...

The Vermilion Bird Uninhabited Star System No. 000066.

After a full 1,500-second teleportation, Lin Moyu emerged outside the star system.

He appeared near a teleportation formation.

Once the mission was complete, he could return through that formation.

The moment his teleportation ended, the mission information updated.

[Mission name: investigate the Vermilion Bird Uninhabited Star System No. 000066.]

[Mission description: over the past month, the star within the Vermilion Bird Uninhabited Star System No. 000066 has exhibited frequent abnormal activity. Conduct a thorough investigation.]

[Task 1: approach to within 1,000 kilometers of the star and inspect its surface.]

[Task 2: attempt to determine the cause of the star's abnormal activity.]

[Task 3: attempt to resolve the abnormal activity.]

[Rewards will be distributed according to the completion rate of each task.]

After accepting the mission, Lin Moyu immediately summoned the Godslaying Fortress. The fortress transformed into a streak of lightning and sped toward the heart of the star system.

The objective of this mission was simple: investigate the star's unusual activity, determine its cause, and eliminate the problem altogether.

Not long after Lin Moyu departed, a figure silently emerged in the void.

The figure carefully recorded everything Lin Moyu had done, intending to report it all to Third Zhu.

"A Godslaying Fortress... Why does he possess the military's Godslaying Fortress?"

"Using a Godslaying Fortress merely as transportation… truly a waste."

The figure muttered to himself. With a slight shift, he vanished from where he stood.

He pursued Lin Moyu without relying on any flying treasure, yet his speed was no slower than that of the Godslaying Fortress.
