 **Chapter 1461: Antares is Truly at the Other Shore**

Just as Lin Moyu returned to Fortress No. 1, he suddenly felt a strange sensation, as if someone was spying on him. This feeling came out of nowhere, inexplicably arising and being sensed by his soul.

The spying seemed to come from a distant place, as if it broke through the limitations of space and time and descended directly upon him.

Unable to locate the source of the spying, he felt extremely uneasy.

With the appearance of Chi Huo, Lin Moyu's expression turned strange, making the already fierce-looking 'Chi Huo' appear even more menacing. As he left the teleportation array, many people instinctively took half a step back, avoiding him. Lin Moyu felt helpless about this; over the past few days, the number of people in Fortress No. 1 had decreased significantly.

However, it was still more than when he first arrived on the battlefield.

If he dared to restore his original appearance, he would definitely attract a crowd again.

After thinking it over, he decided it was better to parade around with Chi Huo's appearance.

Zhu Qiwu had already reported the task for him, so he didn't need to go to the task center. He just had to wait for the information from the Human Emperor Network.

By then, the second chain task would be considered complete.

At this moment, there was still about a year and a half left until the start of the Four Star Region Competition.

The remaining time was relatively free, and he could do whatever he wanted.

Lin Moyu went straight to the living area and entered a tavern.

Having narrowly escaped death this time, he needed to relax and let his tense mind unwind.

Moreover, successfully advancing to a fifth-grade soul was worth celebrating.

Lin Moyu observed the comings and goings of cultivators and chose a seat by the window, where he could see the outside scenery.

No one sat around him.

People who approached, upon seeing Lin Moyu's appearance, quickly walked away and chose other seats.

This was fine, as it gave him some peace and quiet.

Lin Moyu poured himself a glass of wine, but his attention was focused on his soul world.

The soul body sat at the center of the world, the purple jade soul exuding a powerful aura.

He was the king of this world, the ruler of this world.

In the hands of the soul body, he held a special coffin, the Coffin of Slumber.

Lin Moyu had not crafted many items in his life, but the one he put the most effort into was the Coffin of Slumber.

Inside the Coffin of Slumber, his four lovers lay in slumber.

The Coffin of Slumber had paused their lives, waiting for Lin Moyu to restart their lives.

The soul gently caressed the Coffin of Slumber, "We will meet again soon."

After downing a strong drink, his thoughts returned to the present.

With a slight movement of his soul, the world around him became noisy again.

Lin Moyu's soul quality was so high that its sensitivity had surpassed that of a God Sovereign.

If he wished, he could perceive all the movements within a large area inside and outside the tavern.

Even if someone used soul transmission to speak, Lin Moyu could intercept the content if he wanted to.

Lin Moyu began to formally examine his changes. The transformation from a fourth-grade soul to a fifth-grade soul was a significant metamorphosis.

When his soul power surged, thin lines appeared in the space around him.

These thin lines had different colors, intertwining and entangling with each other, yet remaining independent.

These were the lines of laws. After reaching a fifth-grade purple jade soul, Lin Moyu could clearly sense the real state of the laws.

He could see the laws, feel their pulsations, and more easily comprehend them.

From now on, laws were no longer an elusive existence; most laws had already manifested before his eyes. He could easily master a certain law in a short time.

Although he couldn't master them deeply, using them superficially was not a problem.

Lin Moyu finally understood why Antares could master so many laws back then.

Because Antares was at the Other Shore realm, Antares could also see the laws, making mastery effortless.

Now his soul had reached the same level.

He retracted his soul power, and the lines of laws disappeared from his sight.

Now was not the time to comprehend laws, and Lin Moyu was not interested in these low-level laws.

Lin Moyu had his own plans and goals. After reaching the God Sovereign realm, he wanted to comprehend the laws of space and time, and if possible, add the law of chaos.

He sought quality over quantity in laws and aimed to maintain balance.

Lin Moyu originally comprehended first-tier laws. If he went to comprehend second-tier or even third-tier laws, it would disrupt the balance.

For Lin Moyu, it would be harmful rather than beneficial.

In his soul perception, Lin Moyu heard countless voices.

As the time for the Four Star Region Competition approached, discussions about it increased.

From the numerous conversations, Lin Moyu gathered a lot of information about the Four Star Region Competition.

Combining this with the information from the Human Emperor Network, he gained a more intuitive understanding of the competition.

A year before the official start of the competition, preliminary rounds would begin on various life star systems to determine the representatives.

Star systems were divided into high, medium, and low tiers.

High-tier star systems had ten slots, medium-tier had six, and low-tier had only three.

Regardless of the tier, the number of cultivators was enormous, involving millions.

But the slots were pitifully few, so the competition would be extremely fierce.

Especially in high-tier star systems, although they had more slots, the number of cultivators was also significantly higher, making the difficulty greater than in low-tier star systems.

Some had thought of participating in the preliminaries in low-tier star systems to compete for slots in the Four Star Region Competition.

After all, people from high-tier star systems were generally stronger than those from low-tier star systems.

But those with such thoughts were eventually disqualified.

The entire process was monitored by the Human Emperor Network, so one couldn't do whatever they wanted. Everyone had their own star system affiliation, and it was impossible to snatch slots from other star systems. Besides the slots for each star system, the domain lords had ten special slots.

These ten special slots, along with the participants sent by the War God Hall, were called seed players.

They didn't need to participate in the preliminaries and could directly enter the finals.

However, these slots were even harder to obtain, with the decision entirely in the hands of the domain lords.

As for the slots from the War God Hall, they were out of reach for outsiders.

Lin Moyu knew that one of the ten slots in Zhu Tian's hands was his.

He didn't need to participate in any preliminaries and could directly enter the finals.

Since coming to the Great World, Lin Moyu had always been active in the Vermilion Bird Star Region and had never left it.

His fourth-level authority also meant he couldn't see detailed information about other star regions.

This Four Star Region Competition was indeed an opportunity to learn about other star regions.

The human race was a vast race with expansive star regions and countless populations.

Not to mention, even the cultivation methods varied among them.

For example, the power of faith, although one of the original powers of the human race, was best utilized in the Azure Dragon Star Region.

In the Vermilion Bird Star Region where he was, people believed more in their own laws, using the power of faith only as an auxiliary.

As for the White Tiger Star Region and the Black Tortoise Star Region, they were more mysterious, and Lin Moyu didn't know their specific details.

He had only heard that the Black Tortoise Star Region seemed to excel in creating puppets and various war machines.

Most of the warships and many powerful treasures in the human race came from the Black Tortoise Star Region.

For specific information, he would have to wait until his authority reached level five to understand.

"Level five authority should be soon."

A familiar notification sound rang in his ears as Lin Moyu raised his wine glass, a slight smile on his lips.

The task rewards had arrived!
