**Chapter 1058: Two Choices, Two Paths**

Gu Qingxuan almost jumped up with joy, "Lin Shidi, you're ranked first on the Potential List!"

Hearing Gu Qingxuan's voice, Lin Moyu felt a warmth in his heart. He didn't expect that Gu Qingxuan had always been paying attention to his matters.

She knew that it was his first time completing a fourth-level task, which would unlock the leaderboard function.

So Gu Qingxuan had been keeping an eye on it and was the first to notice the change on the leaderboard.

Lin Moyu said, "I already saw it, thank you for your concern, Senior Sister."

Gu Qingxuan suddenly realized something, her pretty face turned red, and she felt a bit embarrassed.

Her reaction was noticed by Zhu Tian and Divine Sovereign Yefeng. Both of them were experienced and immediately understood what was going on.

They exchanged a glance and saw a hint of amusement in each other's eyes.

Divine Sovereign Yefeng had always thought highly of Lin Moyu, considering him a promising talent.

Even if Gu Qingxuan truly got together with Lin Moyu, as long as she was willing, he, as her master, would have no objections.

Yan Tu smiled, "Congratulations, Lin Xiaoyou, for being ranked first on the Potential List."

Given Lin Moyu's extraordinary combat power, Yan Tu was not surprised at all that he was ranked first on the Potential List.

Lin Moyu was very humble, "Senior Yan, you flatter me. Potential doesn't mean much."

Yan Tu thought Lin Moyu was being overly modest, "How could that be? The Potential List is very accurate. Anyone who can rank in the top ten on the Potential List is destined to become a Divine Sovereign in the future. Moreover, you are ranked first."

Lin Moyu shook his head, "There's a saying, 'A dead genius is no longer a genius. Only those who survive to the end can laugh last.'"

Zhu Tian laughed heartily, "Lin Xiaoyou is right. Only those who survive to the end can laugh last."

Yan Tu knew that Lin Moyu was subtly referring to Lü Hong and the recent incident with the Disciplinary Team.

Yan Tu said in a deep voice, "Indeed, but with Lin Xiaoyou's combat power, it won't be easy for others to kill you."

At this moment, he glanced at Lü Fei, who was standing there like a wooden statue, "This matter started because of Lü Fei. Lü Hong is dead, but this matter is not over."

The Law of Slaughter in the hall fluctuated slightly, and a pitch-black law descended. Lü Fei's body silently disintegrated, like snow melting.

Strangely, throughout the entire process, Lü Fei did not feel any pain and remained in a daze.

His physical body turned to ashes, but his soul was preserved.

Yan Tu took out a jade bottle and directly absorbed Lü Fei's soul into it.

Then, a wisp of flame from the fireball in the hall flew into the jade bottle.

Immediately, Lü Fei's screams echoed from the jade bottle.

Yan Tu said, "Lü Fei's soul will be burned by the stellar essence fire for a hundred years. This is his punishment."

As he said this, he looked at Lin Moyu, as if asking, "Lin Xiaoyou, are you satisfied?"

Lin Moyu bowed to Yan Tu, "Thank you, Senior, for upholding justice."

Yan Tu breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Lin Moyu was satisfied.

Eliminating Lü Fei to gain the favor of a future Divine Sovereign was a worthwhile trade.

Although he didn't think much of ordinary Divine Sovereigns, who could predict how far Lin Moyu would go in the future? He might even reach the Divine City and achieve greater accomplishments.

Throughout the entire process, Yan Tu carefully observed Lin Moyu's expression.

Lin Moyu was too calm, so calm that even Yan Tu found it terrifying.

A hundred years of soul burning was not an ordinary punishment, but Lin Moyu witnessed it without any reaction.

This showed that Lin Moyu was a decisive and ruthless person.

Combined with his demeanor when he counter-killed Lü Hong, Yan Tu concluded that Lin Moyu would go very far in the future.

At this moment, Zhu Tian also said in a deep voice, "I will handle the Lü family. They have gone too far this time and need to be properly disciplined."

Divine Sovereign Yefeng added in a low voice, "I will go too. The Lü family bullied Qingxuan this time. I need to let them know that I am not to be trifled with."

The Lü family was the ruler of the Vermilion Bird 33rd star system and had a Divine Sovereign in their family.

But with Zhu Tian present, the Lü family wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.

Moreover, it was clear that Divine Sovereign Yefeng was not afraid of the Lü family.

Yan Tu also said in a low voice, "Indeed, they need to be disciplined. In recent years, some major families have been doing things they shouldn't, relying on their power."

"Although they have done it well, leaving no evidence, they are gradually becoming excessive."

"If necessary, I can send someone to assist."

Zhu Tian waved his hand, "No need to trouble Captain Yan. I will handle this matter properly. The human race cannot afford internal strife."

Lin Moyu knew that the Lü family was in trouble.

Zhu Tian wouldn't let them off easily. He would likely make an example of them.

The human race could have undercurrents and competition, but it couldn't go too far.

Just like the Law Divine Flower this time, even though Lin Moyu discovered it, others could still try to take it before he fully obtained it.

The saying "treasures belong to the virtuous" referred to strength.

In the process of competing for treasures, it was acceptable to accidentally injure someone.

Even if there were disputes afterward, the punishment would be minor.

The human race always encouraged fair competition.

But using underhanded methods to kill and seize treasures was unacceptable.

Incidents like Lü Hong's had been happening frequently in recent years.

Zhu Tian knew that these were the misdeeds of the younger generation from major families.

This time, he intended to use this incident to thoroughly rectify the situation.

Lin Moyu and Gu Qingxuan left the Disciplinary Team unscathed, and it was time for them to part ways.

Gu Qingxuan was reluctant to leave, but she had her own tasks to complete.

The chain tasks, which were the tasks to enter the Divine City, still needed to be completed.

Entering the Divine City was her lifelong dream, and she had to achieve it.

Lin Moyu sincerely wished her well, "I wish you success in entering the Divine City, Senior Sister."

After this task, their relationship had become much closer, and their conversations were more casual.

Gu Qingxuan clenched her small fists, her face slightly red, "I hope to see you in the Divine City in the future, Lin Shidi."

Lin Moyu smiled, "I'm sure we will."

Cultivators didn't have many sentimental farewells. After a few simple words, Gu Qingxuan left on Divine Sovereign Yefeng's flying boat.

Lin Moyu boarded Zhu Tian's vehicle.

Zhu Tian's vehicle was a small warship, only a hundred meters long.

Although small, its combat power was formidable, possessing the strength of a Divine Sovereign.

It was not inferior to those massive Divine Sovereign-class warships.

In the entire Vermilion Bird Star Region, there was only one such warship.

The warship started, not entering subspace but directly initiating space jumps.

Each jump could span hundreds of light-years.

Each jump took only a second.

A few seconds later, Lin Moyu found himself in an unfamiliar starry sky.

Zhu Tian said, "This is the Vermilion Bird 10th star system."

The Vermilion Bird 10th star system was one of the ten high-level star systems in the Vermilion Bird Star Region.

Lin Moyu curiously asked, "Why did the Domain Master bring me here?"

Zhu Tian replied, "You should have seen the Bounty List by now."

"I have," Lin Moyu nodded.

Zhu Tian said, "You have reached the True God realm and are qualified to enter the battlefield. You can go to the battlefield from the 10th star system and take on battlefield tasks."

"Combined with the Bounty List, if you can complete some of the tasks, it will be greatly beneficial to you."

"But it is very dangerous. You need to consider it carefully. Of course, you can also go back and continue doing ordinary tasks, which is also a good choice."

Zhu Tian presented two paths to Lin Moyu.

One was dangerous, the other was safe, leaving the choice to Lin Moyu.
