**Chapter 1228: The Four-Star Domain Competition, I Must Secure a Spot**
Meng Gang's reward was 1500 military merits, while Yu Zhu, Wang Zhenghao, and Rong Jie each received 1000 military merits. Lin and his team did not put in much effort this time, so they were quite satisfied with these rewards. Yu Zhu's eyes sparkled as she stared at Lin Moyu.
Lin Moyu smiled and said, "I have a bit more military merit than you, and besides that, there are contribution points."
Lin Moyu had previously realized that military supply points were extraordinary, so he did not mention them in public.
He communicated with Murong Bafang using soul transmission, so Yu Zhu and the others were unaware of the existence of military supply points. Lin Moyu had no intention of telling them now.
This was his secret, something he had risked his life to obtain. Only he knew how dangerous it was when facing the Golden Source Star.
Yu Zhu was smart enough not to ask for specific numbers. She knew that Lin Moyu had more military merits than she did, but the exact amount was not important.
Her eyes sparkled, "You've gained more contribution points again, your ranking on the contribution list will rise."
She opened the contribution list and found Lin Moyu's name.
His ranking had risen from third to second.
Contribution points were hard to come by, and the top few rankings were separated by just one or two points. Lin Moyu's additional point naturally raised his ranking.
At this moment, Lin Moyu felt an invisible force passing through the void and reaching him.
The power of faith.
The power of faith had always existed. As the master of a small world, Lin Moyu had never been without the power of faith from his small world.
However, the population of the small world was too small, especially the number of cultivators, which was very low and of low levels. So, the power of faith was negligible compared to the big world.
Later, he gained the first place on the potential list and received a portion of the power of faith from the big world, but it was still not much. Now, as his ranking on the contribution list continued to rise, the power of faith he received gradually increased.
Many cultivators in the big world regarded those on the lists as idols and targets to chase.
This power of faith, as long as it was abundant, could be quite useful to the recipient. For the contributors, it cost nothing.
This is one reason why the human race considers the power of faith as a source of power.
However, it seemed unlikely that just rising from third to second on the contribution list would cause such a change in the power of faith. Lin Moyu had a thought and opened the combat power list.
On the combat power list, his name had risen sharply, from 35th to 10th, making it into the top 10.
Lin Moyu knew that this mission had revealed his combat power.
Based on his description of the mission and Meng Hongshen's description of him, the Human Emperor Network could estimate his approximate combat power. Making it into the top 10 on the combat power list, combined with rising to second on the contribution list, naturally caused a change in the power of faith.
At this point, the power of faith he received from the big world had surpassed that from the small world and would continue to grow stronger.
Lin Moyu sensed the power of faith and found it still insufficient and not very effective, so he gave up. Yu Zhu noticed his silence and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
With the mission over, Yu Zhu no longer called Lin Moyu captain.
Lin Moyu shook his head lightly, "Nothing, I need to submit the mission."
He had also taken on a battlefield mission, and now that his military rank had been promoted, he needed to submit the battlefield mission.
Meng Gang said, "We won't go this time. If there's a chance in the future, we'll carry out missions with you again." He saluted Lin Moyu, standing straight with respect in his eyes.
This was the highest military courtesy, indicating that he was completely convinced by Lin Moyu.
Behind him, Wang Zhenghao and Rong Jie also stood straight and saluted Lin Moyu.
Lin Moyu returned the salute, "Take care."
Leaving the military merit office, Yu Zhu whispered, "I need to go back to the trading center. If you want to sell anything, remember to find me."
Lin Moyu smiled, "I'll be there soon. You can prepare when you get back."
This time, he had killed so many enemies and collected countless items, including a large amount of Golden Source.
Yu Zhu smiled brightly, "I'll be waiting for you at the trading center."
The trading center was as bustling as ever.
Lin Moyu quietly stood at the end of the line, waiting to submit his mission. He overheard people talking about him.
"Do you know? Our Vermilion Bird Domain has produced another genius."
"Of course, it's that guy named Lin Moyu, right?"
"Yes, that's him. First on the potential list, second on the contribution list, tenth on the combat power list. Amazing!"
"Indeed, he might become the first in all three lists."
"Hopefully, he gets stronger. Then, in the Four-Star Domain Competition, our Vermilion Bird Domain will shine."
"Yes, at least we won't be as embarrassed as last time."
Lin Moyu's ears twitched. He seemed to have seen something about the Four-Star Domain Competition somewhere.
It should be in some document, but he hadn't paid much attention to it at the time. He quickly found information about the Four-Star Domain Competition through the Human Emperor Network.
Every hundred years, the four major star domains of the human race hold a competition.
The top 100 in the competition can directly enter the Divine City without any chain mission restrictions. "Anyone who is a member of the human race can sign up for the competition."
"The last competition was 95 years ago, and the next one is in 5 years."
"Last time, the Vermilion Bird Domain ranked last, with only 8 spots in the top 100, and they were all ranked low. It was indeed embarrassing."
Lin Moyu smiled slightly. If he participated in this competition, he would definitely secure one of the 100 spots. Half an hour later, it was finally Lin Moyu's turn.
He stepped forward to submit the mission and received 3000 points and 10 military merits as a reward.
Half an hour later, it was finally Lin Moyu's turn.
He stepped forward to submit the mission and received 3000 points and 10 military merits as a reward.
1000 pounds of Golden Source was just a drop in the bucket compared to what Lin Moyu had obtained this time.
He had killed nearly 100,000 Gold-Eating Beasts, each leaving behind about 100 pounds of Golden Source.
The mission requirement was only the amount from 10 Gold-Eating Beasts.
In addition to the Golden Source obtained from various people, Lin Moyu had lost count of the total amount. He just kept collecting without counting.
After submitting the mission, Lin Moyu headed to the trading center.
He needed to clear his storage space and exchange for enough points and military merits.
Lin Moyu's points had already reached **, with 236,850 from missions, and the rest from other sources, which could not be used to upgrade his permission level.
However, for any cultivator, nearly 80 million points were not a small amount.
His military merits had reached 22,676. After completing the military merit promotion mission, Lin Moyu was now a solid second-rank officer. After this transaction, he might become a third-rank officer.
Just as he reached the entrance of the mission center, a middle-aged man was standing there quietly. Lin Moyu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he quickly walked over.
