 **Chapter 1497: Every Era Has Its Despair-Inducing Individuals**

The rankings on the task leaderboard were like needles, piercing the hearts of every genius. Lin Moyu was far ahead, leaving everyone else in the dust. In the first few days, there was still some hope, but after a month, that hope had become extremely faint.

1. Lin Moyu, 28,382 points.

2. Lin Mohan, 8,621 points.

3. Dongfang Ze, 3,312 points.

4. Zhuang Bi, 3,121 points.

5. Wei Bowen, 3,099 points.

In the past month, Lin Moyu and Lin Mohan had firmly held the top two positions. The rankings below them kept changing.

In the first ten days, Shui Zhilan from the Black Tortoise Star Domain had been neck and neck with Dongfang Ze, constantly vying for third place.

Later, for some unknown reason, Shui Zhilan's efficiency drastically decreased, and her scoring speed slowed down, causing her to drop out of the top ten.

Just when Dongfang Ze thought his third place was secure, Zhuang Bi and Wei Bowen emerged.

With everyone's realms suppressed to the first rank of the God King Realm, Dongfang Ze's advantage, though present, was not significant.

"You have your trump cards, and I naturally have mine."

Dongfang Ze put away the task leaderboard, "There's still time. We've only covered about one-third of the journey. The remaining two-thirds are the key."

"If I'm not mistaken, leader-level and boss-level giant beasts will definitely appear."

"If I can kill a leader-level giant beast, I can surpass Lin Moyu and become first."

"Leader-level giant beasts won't be easy to kill, but for me, it shouldn't be too difficult."

"Lin Mohan's sword is powerful, but it shouldn't be enough to kill a leader-level giant beast."

"I don't know Lin Moyu's methods, but his realm is only at the third rank of the God King Realm, and his methods seem to be more suited for group attacks, not necessarily for killing leader-level giant beasts."

"I still have a chance..."

Dongfang Ze had his own calculations. Over the past month, he had witnessed Lin Mohan's repeated sword strikes and had a good understanding of her capabilities.

Moreover, he had observed Lin Moyu's scoring method. Most of the time, his points increased by 1 point at a time. This indicated that Lin Moyu's points were mostly obtained from ordinary giant beasts. From this, Dongfang Ze deduced that Lin Moyu had strong group-killing abilities. In this aspect, he had to admit that he was not as good as Lin Moyu at the same realm. However, he was still a Little God Sovereign, and one who had half a foot in the Law Star River. In terms of instantaneous explosive power, he believed he could crush Lin Moyu.

As for Zhuang Bi and Wei Bowen, who had emerged later, Dongfang Ze didn't take them seriously. His goal was to surpass Lin Mohan and Lin Moyu, not to compete for third place. The current rankings were just temporary.

Lin Moyu stood on a mountaintop, looking into the distance. As far as his eyes could see, there were endless mountains. Each mountain looked similar, making it easy to lose direction.

"We've covered about one-third of the journey."

"The path I chose has many giant beasts, but it seems there are no leader-level or boss-level giant beasts. Maybe I should change direction."

"Although my points are far ahead now, it's actually an illusion."

"If someone kills a leader-level giant beast, they can surpass me."

Lin Moyu roughly calculated that if he continued along this path until the end, his points could double, reaching about 90,000 to 100,000 points.

This was actually less than the points from killing a single leader-level giant beast.

In the sky, the ten-thousand-meter undead eye appeared again, carrying the undying flames, gazing into the distance. Through the undead vision, Lin Moyu saw the path behind him.

Although he hadn't seen everything clearly, he had a general idea.

The path he chose had the most giant beasts in all directions.

But there was also a problem: there were no leader-level or boss-level giant beasts.

Lin Moyu realized this halfway through and decided to change direction.

The undead eye slowly rotated in the sky, searching for leader-level and boss-level giant beasts.

In the undead vision, blazing soul flames kept flickering.

The stronger the soul flame, the stronger the giant beast.

The undead vision could also distinguish between the soul flames of giant beasts and cultivators, as there was a fundamental difference between the two.

After a month, the hundred cultivators had completely dispersed, making it difficult to encounter each other again.

The undead eye searched for a long time but did not find any boss-level giant beasts.

However, it did find a few leader-level giant beasts, though they were far apart from each other.

Lin Moyu chose the nearest leader-level giant beast and changed his direction.

The tea party in front of the palace continued. A month was just a blink of an eye for beings in the Other Shore realm.

Because of the Sacred Lord Hao's high expectations for Lin Moyu, both Lin Lao and Madam Yu were paying close attention to him.

They saw Lin Moyu suddenly stop and then change direction.

Lin Lao, following Lin Moyu's direction, said in a low voice, "He's heading towards the location of a leader-level giant beast."

Madam Yu lightly opened her mouth, "He initially chose the golden light path with the most giant beasts, and now he suddenly changed direction. It seems he has a way to judge the number and strength of the giant beasts."

Lin Lao said, "If what the Sacred Lord Hao said is true, and his summoned creatures have the combat strength of a Little God Sovereign, then leader-level and ordinary giant beasts would be no different to him."

"Even boss-level giant beasts could be easily killed, and he has a way to find them."

"Tsk tsk, the other little guys are going to be completely desperate."

"Should I add some spice to increase the difficulty for him?"

As he spoke, he looked at the Sacred Lord Hao.

The Sacred Lord Hao smiled, "Do as you please, but I think it's better not to break the rules."

"Besides, despair is not necessarily a bad thing. Every era has individuals who stand out."

"Just like the War God, who single-handedly ended the ancient era and started a new one. Who among his contemporaries wasn't in despair?"

Lin Lao raised an eyebrow. The Sacred Lord Hao's words implied that he considered Lin Moyu to be on par with the War God. At least in the Sacred Lord Hao's mind, Lin Moyu's potential was no less than that of Xiao Zhantian back then.

Lin Lao finished his tea in one gulp and sighed, "What a pity. If the War God could meet Lin Moyu, he might consider taking him as a disciple."

Madam Yu refilled Lin Lao's tea, "Don't talk about impossible things."

The Sacred Lord Hao gently shook his head, "It's not entirely impossible. Let's see what fate has in store."

He didn't elaborate further, and Lin Lao and Madam Yu exchanged a glance, tacitly agreeing not to press the matter.

The Sacred Lord Hao knew many secrets that they were unaware of.

If he could speak, he would naturally do so.

If he didn't, there was no point in asking.

Dongfang Ze was lucky and finally found a leader-level giant beast.

It was a wolf-like giant beast, over ten meters tall, with fur like arrows, each strand standing on end, looking very intimidating.

However, to Dongfang Ze, a leader-level giant beast was not much of a challenge.

It took him less than a minute to kill it.

"Just as I thought, a leader-level giant beast is at the third rank of the God King Realm, almost reaching the fourth rank."

"A leader-level giant beast is worth 1,000 points, so a boss-level giant beast worth 100,000 points should be at the fifth rank of the God King Realm."

"A fifth-rank God King Realm giant beast will be a bit tricky, but still manageable."

At this moment, Dongfang Ze's eyes narrowed as he saw a white light. Within the white light was a white jade token, right next to the giant beast's head.

"A white jade token, not bad luck."
