**Chapter 1477: The Peculiar Miss Yuzhu**

There was less than a year left until the Four Star Domain Competition, and the preliminary rounds in various star systems had already begun. Lin Moyu noticed that a large number of people were returning to their respective star systems, including both contestants and spectators. The number of cultivators on the battlefield had decreased by nearly seventy percent.

Fortress No. 1 had also become quite empty. There were no more long queues at the mission center or the trading center. This was not only the case on the Vermilion Bird Battlefield but also on the other three battlefields.

Countless cultivators who were exploring the great world were also returning. Some were seed contestants who didn't need to participate in the preliminaries but wanted to return early to observe their competitors.

The Four Star Domain Competition was not just a grand event for human cultivators but also a celebration for every member of the human race. The competition would be broadcast live across various star systems and regions, allowing ordinary people to witness the elegance of the cultivators, which served as a form of encouragement for them.

Apart from the human race, more than five hundred other races were also keeping an eye on the Four Star Domain Competition. They would use various methods to watch the event. Enemy races would mark human geniuses for assassination, while those with good relations with the human race would send representatives to watch the competition.

When Lin Moyu returned to Fortress No. 1, the teleportation array area was almost empty, with only about thirty percent of the usual crowd. He finally felt relieved, no longer needing to parade around in his fiery form.

The mission rewards had not yet been distributed, but Lin Moyu was not in a hurry. He estimated that they would be available soon. Additionally, Zhu Tian would be coming to pick him up soon, marking the end of his time on the battlefield. He had been on the battlefield for almost five years, which was not a short time for him.

The journey to the Soul Spirit Ancestor Beast had taken more than half a year. Inside the Soul Spirit Ancestor Beast, time was distorted and completely different from the outside world. Lin Moyu hadn't felt the passage of time while inside, but upon exiting, he realized that so much time had passed. The main reason was the overwhelming power of the Soul Spirit Ancestor Beast, which had completely affected his perception.

He couldn't help but think that it was a miracle he had managed to kill the Soul Spirit Ancestor Beast. As for the cause and effect that Zhu Qiwu mentioned, he would deal with that later. At the time, he had no other choice.

Unconsciously, Lin Moyu found himself at the trading center. The number of people there had also decreased significantly, with everyone busy with their own transactions, paying no attention to the outside world.

Lin Moyu, familiar with the place, headed straight to the backyard. The pavilion in the backyard was also half-empty. Looking around, he saw Yuzhu sitting in the pavilion, smiling at him. The aroma of tea wafted from the cool tea, entering his nostrils and making him feel refreshed.

He sat down in front of Yuzhu and accepted the teacup she handed him. "Were you waiting for me?"

Yuzhu giggled, "The ancestor said that the captain's mission has been successfully completed and that you would be returning soon. So, I waited here for you."

Lin Moyu smiled slightly, "The mission is indeed completed, but the rewards haven't been distributed yet."

Yuzhu playfully said, "Don't worry, the ancestor also said that the captain performed exceptionally well on this mission, and she wants to pick a good magic treasure for you."

"Maybe there will be some extra rewards too."

Lin Moyu hadn't thought about extra rewards, but a good magic treasure would certainly be welcome. With a prominent figure speaking on his behalf, he was confident that Madam Yu wouldn't give him anything subpar. Moreover, he had meticulously recorded all the information about the Soul Spirit Ancestor Beast, which should earn him some benefits.

Yuzhu suddenly leaned in closer and lowered her voice, "Captain, have you met the ancestor?"

Lin Moyu nodded, "Yes, I did meet Madam Yu."

Yuzhu's eyes lit up, "Captain, what do you think of the ancestor?"

Lin Moyu frowned, "Why do you ask?"

As a member of the Yu family, Yuzhu should know more about Madam Yu than he did. Why was she asking him?

Yuzhu pouted, "I just want to know."

Lin Moyu thought for a moment, "Madam Yu is very beautiful, elegant, and noble."

Yuzhu shook her head, "Not that. I want to know if the captain thinks the ancestor is easy to talk to and get along with."

Lin Moyu pondered, "She seems easy to talk to, but we didn't have many conversations. What exactly are you trying to ask?"

Lin Moyu felt that Yuzhu was acting a bit strange today, asking odd questions and even her expressions were unusual.

Yuzhu giggled, "Nothing, nothing. Just curious. When do you plan to return?"

She quickly changed the subject. From his understanding of women, Lin Moyu knew that when a woman didn't want to talk about something, it was almost impossible to get an answer.

Lin Moyu didn't bother to press further, "I'll leave when someone comes to pick me up."

Yuzhu nodded, not surprised, "With your strength, you must be a seed contestant."

Lin Moyu nodded, "I suppose so."

Yuzhu said, "Then you don't need to participate in the preliminaries. You might not even need to compete in the first few rounds of the finals."

"Then I can watch your exciting matches."

"I feel sorry for those guys. They won't be winning the championship this time."

Yuzhu's words implied that the championship was already reserved for Lin Moyu.

Although Lin Moyu was confident, he wasn't arrogant, "There might be some extraordinary geniuses from other star domains."

Yuzhu snorted, "No matter how strong they are, they can't compare to you."

Lin Moyu chuckled, amused by his little fan's confidence.

Two days later, Lin Moyu suddenly received a message from the Human Emperor Network.

**[Special Mission Completed: Enter Area 10-03 and Retrieve the Lost Magic Treasure.]**

**[Completion Level: Perfect]**

**[Rewards: 150,000 mission points, one God Sovereign-level magic treasure.]**

**[Additional Rewards: Due to providing important information from ancient times, you are awarded 50 million regular points and 2 contribution points.]**

Lin Moyu looked at the reward information. The 150,000 mission points were as promised when the mission was issued, and the God Sovereign-level magic treasure was also expected. After all, he had successfully completed the mission, not only retrieving the Yu family's soul artifact but also saving three souls of the Yu family. These were rewards he deserved.

However, the additional reward of 50 million regular points and 2 contribution points was intriguing. The reason was that he had provided important information from ancient times, which he had given to Zhu Qiwu, who then passed it on to the higher-ups. This meant that the additional rewards were not from the Yu family but from the mysterious figure or the high-level human race.

"I didn't expect the rewards to be combined and issued together. It seems their control over the Human Emperor Network is greater than I imagined."

"What exactly is the nature of the Human Emperor Network, and how was it established?"

Lin Moyu pondered, feeling that the secrets within the high-level human race were more significant than he had thought, especially regarding their attitude towards information from ancient times. It made him believe that there were enormous secrets involved.

The rewards were quickly credited, and Lin Moyu received another reminder from the Human Emperor Network.

**[Your mission points have met the requirements for a privilege upgrade. Your maximum privilege level has been upgraded to level five. Please check the details yourself.]**
