Chapter 1556: 1556 **Chapter 1556: Come Over, Let’s Chat** The next day, the Human Emperor Network announced the rankings and rewards for this Four Star Domains Competition as scheduled. [First Place: Lin Moyu, reward of 200 Divine City merits.] [Second Place: Zhuang Bi, reward of 150 Divine City merits.] [Third Place: Qing Fei, reward of 100 Divine City merits.] [Fourth Place: Dongfang Ze, reward of 50 Divine City merits.] [Fifth Place: Wei Bowen, reward of 30 Divine City merits.] Starting from fifth place to eighth place, the reward was 30 Divine City merits. From ninth to sixteenth place, each received 20 Divine City merits. After the top sixteen, up to the hundredth place, if they were seed players, they would be rewarded 10 Divine City merits. Among these people, about half were not seed players but came from the four star domains. For those who already had the qualification to enter Divine City, they received 10 Divine City merits like the seed players. If they did not originally have the qualification to enter Divine City, then the Divine City merit reward was reduced to 5, with the additional qualification to enter Divine City. In other words, the qualification to enter Divine City was worth 5 Divine City merits. This also indirectly showed how precious Divine City merits were. Next were the rewards after the hundredth place. From 100th to 199th place, the reward became 5 Divine City merits. If they did not have the qualification to enter Divine City, they were directly given the qualification, without even receiving the 5 Divine City merits. In the top 199 places, after excluding the 99 seed players, it was exactly 100 people. Xu Jianxing was fortunate to rank 198th. Although he was eliminated in the first round, due to his decent performance in the subsequent matches, his ranking changed. The Human Emperor Network would consider each person’s cultivation realm, and Xu Jianxing was almost the lowest among all the contestants, which became a bonus for him. Seeing his ranking, Xu Jianxing couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, "At least I didn’t embarrass Divine City." Lin Moyu smiled, "Good, you’ve completed your Divine City mission and earned an extra 10 merits." Xu Jianxing was stunned, then exclaimed, "Lin Shixiong, how did you know I took a mission?" Chu Xiong laughed loudly, "Not just him, we all know." "Ah?" Lin Moyu said, "You told us yourself when you were drunk yesterday." Xu Jianxing immediately made a bitter face, "Alas, how embarrassing. Actually, I shouldn’t have taken this mission." Zhuang Bi came over and patted his shoulder, "The reason you took this mission, you explained it yesterday. In my opinion, being able to take this mission is a kind of courage." Chu Xiong said, "You said yesterday when you were drunk that you shouldn’t have come to participate in the Four Star Domains Competition, and the reason you did was twofold." "One was a trial from your family, as the Four Star Domains Competition is on your family’s trial list." "Two was that you took a mission." "In Divine City, there’s a peculiar notion that the simpler a mission is, the fewer people want to do it. The safer a mission is, the more it’s looked down upon. If someone does it, they’re even looked down upon." "The competition in Divine City is much fiercer than outside." "The safer the mission, the fewer Divine City merits it rewards, and the less respected it is." "Many people feel that if you take an extremely safe mission, you’re a coward." "But Xu Jianxing still took it, for the sake of 10 merits." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮 "He convinced himself using the family trial at the time." "But after taking the mission, the pressure on him became even greater." "He suddenly realized that if he took the mission but failed to complete it, that would be even more embarrassing." "In the eyes of others, it’s a trash mission that no one wants to take." "You not only took it but also failed to complete it, that’s truly embarrassing to the core." "Fortunately, he completed the mission this time." "The requirement of the mission was to obtain Divine City merits in the Four Star Domains Competition." "In other words, Xu Jianxing needed to rank in the top 200." "However, with Xu Jianxing’s cultivation realm, ranking in the top 200 was not easy." "Throughout the competition, Xu Jianxing never mentioned it, only saying it was a family trial." "But the mental pressure he was under was not small." After Xu Jianxing’s explanation, everyone understood the whole story. But Lin Moyu still had doubts in his heart. He felt that Xu Jianxing didn’t seem like the kind of person who would take this mission for just 10 Divine City merits. Didn’t Xu Jianxing care about face? There might be deeper reasons behind it, but Lin Moyu didn’t ask further. It might involve Xu Jianxing’s secrets. Zhuang Bi said in a low voice, "Regardless, you’ve completed the mission and earned 10 merits." Chu Xiong also spoke up, "Don’t mind what others say, Divine City merits are real and solid. If anyone dares to talk nonsense, just slap them and shut them up." "Wait until I enter Divine City, I’ll see who dares to bully you, I’ll beat them up one by one." Chu Xiong puffed out his chest, boasting arrogantly. Xu Jianxing was also infected by Chu Xiong’s arrogance, regaining his smile. Lin Moyu laughed lightly, "If you have any difficulties, just tell me. There are many things I should be able to help with." Xu Jianxing nodded forcefully. He knew Lin Moyu’s promise was not a joke. Now, even before entering Divine City, Lin Moyu already had 300 Divine City merits. That was more than many elders in Divine City. Add to that Lin Moyu’s strength, and he would undoubtedly become a great figure in Divine City in the future. Xu Jianxing felt that the luckiest thing for him in recent years was meeting Lin Moyu. If it weren’t for Lin Moyu giving him a large number of magical treasures, he wouldn’t have been able to achieve a good enough ranking in the preliminary rounds. Xu Jianxing sincerely thanked Lin Moyu, "Lin Shixiong, I really owe you a lot this time." Lin Moyu smiled and accepted his gratitude. After the 199th place, those without the qualification to enter Divine City didn’t receive Divine City merits. Their rewards became points instead. The points gradually decreased from ten million to only one million at the end. The rewards for all participants formed a huge list, and everyone could check the specific information. The Human Emperor Network tried its best to be fair and just. If anyone had any opinions, they had to swallow them and not voice them. After the Four Star Domains Competition ended, one warship after another arrived at the competition city to pick up the spectators. After transporting the spectators away, more warships arrived, this time to pick up the contestants. The competition was over, and everyone returned to their respective places and families. All the contestants who obtained the qualification to enter Divine City received information from the Human Emperor Network. They could choose to enter Divine City immediately or wait for some time before entering Divine City. According to Xu Jianxing, Divine City was not always open. Every 30 days, Divine City would open once. If they wanted to go, they could go to any of the number one stars in the four star domains, where there was a transmission formation. Those with the qualification to enter Divine City could activate the transmission formation and enter Divine City. Of course, the process was not as simple as Xu Jianxing described; it was just a rough outline. Xu Jianxing was going to return to Divine City. He said in a low voice, "Shixiongs and Shixies, what have you all decided?" After some discussion, none of them wanted to enter Divine City immediately. Whether it was Qing Fei or Zhuang Bi, everyone had their own families. They still had some matters to handle in their families. Only Lin Moyu was alone without a family. Whether to enter Divine City or not didn’t matter much to Lin Moyu. He could always leave even after entering, as he had 300 Divine City merits, enough to enter and exit several times. Thinking about it, it seemed like there was no problem with going to Divine City to take a look. However, Lin Moyu also wanted to visit the other few star domains and the outside world. He also wondered where Lin Moxuan had gone and whether she had successfully ascended to the God-Sovereign realm. Suddenly, space distorted, and a black shadow appeared beside them. The shadow’s appearance was unclear, but everyone recognized him. It was the Beyond Realm existence who had been with the four domain lords. Everyone simultaneously paid their respects, "Greetings, Senior!" Xu Jianxing’s expression changed drastically, and he immediately knelt down, "This unfilial disciple pays respects to the ancestor!" The Xu family ancestor glanced at Xu Jianxing, "Not bad!" After speaking, he beckoned to Lin Moyu, "Come over, let’s chat!"
