Chapter 1493: 1493 **Chapter 1493: Since We Aim for First Place, Let’s Go Big** Lin Moyu controlled the power of his spell; otherwise, he could have summoned an undead eye tens of thousands of meters in size. Now was not the time to face an enemy, so there was no need to do so. An undead eye of ten thousand meters was already large enough. Using the undead eye, Lin Moyu connected to the undead vision and scanned the surroundings. From the sky, he saw countless soul flames in the distance. In some directions, the number of soul flames was fewer, while in others, there were more. Each soul flame represented a giant beast; the more soul flames, the more giant beasts. After scanning the surroundings with the undead eye, Lin Moyu chose the direction with the most giant beasts and stepped onto one of the golden light paths. The golden light path only provided a general direction; the path would inevitably change along the way. With over a hundred people choosing directions, there would inevitably be overlaps, and due to various reasons, directions would diverge, leading to encounters. Otherwise, the rules wouldn’t include a clause stating that if people met, they must separate within a minute without any communication. This rule was essentially to ensure that everyone relied on themselves, without any external help. The golden light path carried Lin Moyu away from Fire Seed Island, landing him on a small island about a hundred kilometers away. Calling it a small island was an exaggeration; it was just a reef, barely five meters in diameter. Lin Moyu looked around and saw towering mountains several hundred meters away. The mountains were densely forested, with constant beast roars echoing. Looking further, there were countless mountains, and some small islands were faintly visible. The mountains were both obstacles and landmarks; as long as he followed the mountains, he wouldn’t get lost. Lin Moyu had two choices: either follow the mountains or travel directly across the ocean. Traveling across the ocean would avoid the giant beasts in the mountains and be faster without the need to climb mountains. However, this would significantly reduce the number of giant beasts he could kill, resulting in fewer points. Lin Moyu believed that any cultivator with ambition wouldn’t choose this path. Moreover, was this path really safe? 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦 There were also many giant beasts in the ocean, and without the ability to fly, it wasn’t necessarily safer. Lin Moyu lightly leaped, covering several hundred meters, leaving the reef and entering the first mountain. His body felt heavy again, and more pressure came out of nowhere. He knew he had officially entered the task area. The suppression here was stronger; not only could he not fly, but he couldn’t jump too high either. Otherwise, with the strength of a cultivator, they could easily leap over a thousand-meter mountain. Now, he couldn’t jump too high, and his speed was also limited. "They really didn’t leave any loopholes." Lin Moyu thought to himself, not doubting the strictness of the Human Emperor Network. A prompt from the Human Emperor Network sounded in his ear. **[The task leaderboard is now open, please check it yourself.]** Lin Moyu connected to the Human Emperor Network and opened the task leaderboard. A smile appeared on his lips, "Someone has already started." The task leaderboard already showed some scores, with Chu Xiong currently in first place with 2 points, indicating he had killed two ordinary giant beasts. Chu Xiong was a Little God Sovereign, and even with his power suppressed to the first rank of the God King Realm, his combat strength remained formidable. Fighting across levels was no problem for him, and ordinary giant beasts were nothing to him. The second place was Qing Fei, a Little God Sovereign from the Azure Dragon Star Domain, with 1 point. She had a somewhat androgynous appearance, didn’t talk much, and was very reserved, but her strength was exceptional. The third place was Dongfang Ze, also with 1 point. Apart from these three, no one else had scored yet. The task had just begun, so the current scores were not significant. While Lin Moyu was checking the task leaderboard, someone suddenly surpassed Chu Xiong, gaining 5 points and taking the first place. It was Shui Zhilan from the Black Tortoise Star Domain, also a Little God Sovereign. In Lin Moyu’s impression, Shui Zhilan was of average strength among the Little God Sovereigns. Moreover, the Black Tortoise Star Domain was not known for its offensive capabilities, so suddenly gaining 5 points at once indicated she had killed five ordinary giant beasts simultaneously. After a brief thought, Lin Moyu understood what had happened. The Black Tortoise Star Domain cultivators indeed had the weakest offensive capabilities among the four star domains, but this didn’t mean their attacks were truly weak. To compensate for the lack of offensive power in their laws, the Black Tortoise Star Domain had devised many methods. For example, magic treasures and puppets. Lin Moyu believed Shui Zhilan had used puppets. Puppets were considered a type of magic treasure. While God King Realm puppets were restricted, peak True God Realm puppets were not. With enough peak True God Realm puppets, it was indeed possible to kill five giant beasts simultaneously. "It seems this rule benefits cultivators skilled in puppet manipulation." "Then I should start too." Looking up at the thousand-meter-high mountain, Lin Moyu’s thoughts moved, and skeleton warriors appeared around him. Both his realm and spells were suppressed. Originally, with his fourth-rank God King Realm, the summoned skeleton warriors had the combat strength of the sixth-rank God King Realm. Now, the combat strength of the skeleton warriors had reverted to the third-rank God King Realm, the same as when he had just broken through to the God King Realm. "Third-rank God King Realm is enough." The skeleton warriors charged into the forest like wolves and tigers. Under the undead vision, the giant beasts hidden in the forest had nowhere to hide, each one being quickly found and killed. Not only the giant beasts in the forest, but Lin Moyu also didn’t spare the giant beasts in the ocean. A large number of skeleton warriors submerged into the ocean, starting to kill the water-dwelling giant beasts. Since he aimed for first place, he would go big and leave no room for others to speak. The skeleton warriors soon encountered the giant beasts in the forest, killing them instantly. **[Killed an ordinary giant beast, gained 1 point.]** **[Killed an ordinary giant beast, gained 1 point.]** The prompts from the Human Emperor Network kept sounding, and Lin Moyu’s points began to rise rapidly. In no time, Lin Moyu’s points surpassed the first place, leading by a wide margin. Lin Moyu leisurely walked into the forest, step by step heading towards the mountain top, preparing to cross the mountains. Someone was watching the task leaderboard and suddenly noticed Lin Moyu’s points skyrocketing, showing expressions of disbelief. "How is it possible? How can his points increase so quickly?" "Is there a bug in the Human Emperor Network? This is impossible." "Damn it, I worked so hard to get 1 point, what the hell did this guy do?" "We’re all at the first rank of the God King Realm, how can the gap be so big?" In another part of the forest, Dongfang Ze had just finished a fierce battle, with the corpse of a giant beast lying in front of him. This giant beast was obviously larger than the others, with a stronger aura, reaching the second rank of the God King Realm. It was an elite giant beast, worth 10 points. Dongfang Ze clapped his hands, a flash of arrogance in his eyes, "An elite giant beast, nothing special." He opened the task leaderboard to check his points. In his view, gaining 10 points at once would surely place him high in the rankings. Indeed, Dongfang Ze saw his ranking, second place, a very good position. Then he saw Lin Moyu in first place. "Lin Moyu, this guy is ranked above me." His gaze shifted to the right, and his eyes widened in shock, "Impossible!" /en/
