**Chapter 1268: Some Things I Must Say**
The power of faith grew increasingly abundant, transforming from mere trickles into streams and rivers, eventually becoming surging torrents.
More and more people began to notice the changes in the combat power rankings.
Not long after, Lin Moyu's ranking rose again, leaping from tenth place to first place.
It felt miraculous.
People usually cultivate step by step, advancing their combat power incrementally with each breakthrough.
Sometimes, obtaining powerful magical treasures can also boost combat power.
Such increases in combat power can be significant, sometimes jumping several ranks.
But Lin Moyu's rise wasn't just a jump; it was a leap.
First, he leaped from 35th place to 10th place, and then from 10th place to first place, which was simply unbelievable. Lin Moyu's rise seemed limitless, constantly astonishing people and breaking their conventional thinking.
While people marveled, countless others began to idolize Lin Moyu, worshiping him blindly.
Their admiration transformed into the power of faith, which flowed towards Lin Moyu like a mighty river.
The power of faith transcended spatial limitations, crossing the mysterious void, and was refined by Lin Moyu, leaving only the purest essence.
The power of faith is a double-edged sword. It has significant benefits and is considered one of the fundamental forces by the human race. However, it also has considerable side effects.
With the blessing of the power of faith, Lin Moyu felt his thoughts becoming more agile and clear, making it easier to comprehend the laws.
Many questions that puzzled him could be answered with just a little thought.
Many unclear aspects could be quickly understood with the help of the power of faith.
The power of faith felt like countless people were helping him think and comprehend the laws together.
Lin Moyu stood outside the mission center for several minutes, seemingly understanding the basic function of the power of faith.
In the small world, he had already experienced the effects of the power of faith, which enhanced his comprehension of the laws.
But at that time, the power of faith was relatively scarce, and its effects were not as clear as they were now.
Lin Moyu felt his mastery of the laws had improved again.
According to the data, the mastery of the laws for a seventh-stage True God is between 22% and 23%.
With the help of the power of faith, his mastery of the laws reached 23%. If he could reach 24%, he would become an eighth-stage True God.
His soul seemed to have touched the bottleneck of the eighth stage of the True God realm.
As long as he put in a bit more effort, breaking through this bottleneck wouldn't be difficult.
But Lin Moyu stopped.
Recently, he had been breaking through continuously, especially the last two times, which were achieved by absorbing the souls of enemies through his original spell.
The rapid pace of breakthroughs had left his foundation somewhat unstable.
His comprehension of the laws felt force-fed, and he needed some time to digest it.
"First, complete the missions and strive to be first on all three lists."
"With the original spell and the power of faith, advancing in realm won't be difficult."
Lin Moyu made up his mind and walked towards the teleportation array.
In the teleportation array area of the starry sky fortress, a hundred teleportation arrays were neatly arranged in rows.
The teleportation arrays constantly lit up, with cultivators either leaving or arriving.
People came and went, making the area extremely lively.
Among them, one person walked out of the teleportation array accompanied by a flash of light.
Lin Moyu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he took the initiative to approach and greet the person, "Senior He."
Although He Renxing had changed his appearance, his clothing and aura remained the same.
Moreover, his body was not a real body but one refined from various rare materials, combined with a peculiar and incomplete soul. Lin Moyu recognized him at a glance.
He Renxing was initially surprised, not expecting anyone to recognize him.
Upon seeing Lin Moyu, he couldn't help but smile, "It's you, Lin."
Lin Moyu nodded, "Senior He, if you have time, may I treat you to a meal?"
He Renxing didn't know what Lin Moyu wanted, but seeing Lin Moyu's sincere demeanor, he didn't refuse and agreed.
In a refined restaurant in the living area, Lin Moyu booked a private room and ordered several specialty dishes. On the battlefield, one could taste things not available in the human star domain.
Although the prices were high and cultivators didn't care much about food, the deliciousness still attracted many people.
He Renxing didn't stand on ceremony and started eating directly.
The delicious food exploded in his mouth, and the special aroma swept through his body, seemingly stirring the laws.
He Renxing closed his eyes, appearing to enjoy the moment. After a dozen seconds, he sighed, "It's been a long time since I had such delicious food."
At the God Sovereign realm, one could have anything they wanted.
But the higher the realm, the less they needed such physical desires.
When He Renxing said it had been a long time, it was likely over a hundred years.
Lin Moyu watched He Renxing without any impatience.
This time, he invited He Renxing with his own intentions.
He Renxing seemed to be reminiscing about the past. After a long time, he came back to his senses and slowly said, "Lin, you came to see me for something, didn't you?"
His voice was slightly old, not matching his current middle-aged appearance.
Perhaps he had experienced too much, and besides the old tone, there was a sense of desolation in his voice.
His body was a minor issue, but his soul was only one-third intact. Unless he had a heaven-defying opportunity, it would be difficult for him to make any progress in the future.
For the rest of his days, he would find a place to hide and live out his remaining years.
Having once reached the God Sovereign realm and now fallen back, the feeling was unimaginable.
Lin Moyu slowly stood up and raised his glass, "This toast is for you, Senior."
He Renxing was slightly taken aback but also smiled and raised his glass.
A toast represented respect.
After three toasts, Lin Moyu slowly said, "I know you might be puzzled, but it doesn't matter. I just have some things I need to say."
"How others view your actions, I don't know, and I don't care."
"In my opinion, you have done your best."
"When you were at the True God realm, being controlled by the Bewitching Demon was not your intention."
"Later, when you reached the God Sovereign realm, you did everything you could to make amends, not just for yourself but also for the human race."
"If you had really given up and handed the military star map directly to the demons, although you still couldn't escape control, your life would have been much easier than it is now."
"If I'm not mistaken, you must have killed many people over the years, those who were controlled by the Bewitching Demon along with you at the True God realm. Most of them were probably killed by you."
Lin Moyu spoke sincerely, word by word.
He Renxing's expression turned serious, and he drank cup after cup of wine.
He could see that Lin Moyu was sincere, and these were indeed Lin Moyu's heartfelt words.
At that time, with Zhu Qiwu present, Lin Moyu couldn't say these things.
After all, his words could only represent his own thoughts, not those of the human race's high-level officials.
Different positions led to different perspectives.
This time, they happened to meet, and Lin Moyu couldn't hold back his words.
Since He Renxing had been given a new identity and allowed to leave the battlefield, it meant he had passed the initial examination by the human race.
He had truly broken free from the Bewitching Demon's control.
After Lin Moyu finished speaking, He Renxing put down his glass, his old heart filled with gratitude, and he laughed heartily, "Thank you, Lin."
No more words were needed; a simple thank you was enough to express all of He Renxing's gratitude.
At this moment, Lin Moyu opened his palm, and a vast power of laws gathered in his hand.
