**Chapter 1062: Don’t Think Being Polite Will Save You**
These past few days, the most famous person in the Vermilion Bird Domain was naturally Lin Moyu. Lin Moyu was first taken away by the law enforcement team, and his name quickly spread throughout the Vermilion Bird Domain.
Due to the existence of the Human Sovereign Network, information traveled at an extremely rapid pace. In less than half a day, everyone knew about Lin Moyu and Gu Qingzhen being taken away by the law enforcement team.
Being taken away by the law enforcement team couldn’t mean anything good, as one could imagine.
But soon after, the Potential Ranking suddenly changed. Lin Moyu almost parachuted directly to the first place on the Potential Ranking.
The Potential Ranking had another name among talented cultivators - the Genius Ranking. Only geniuses could be on the Potential Ranking, and their ranks represented their level of genius.
Lin Moyu’s sudden rise to the top of the Potential Ranking surprised many people. The Potential Ranking had 100 spots, so Lin Moyu’s ascension to first place meant the original 100th person was eliminated.
More importantly, Lin Moyu being on the Potential Ranking meant he was safe and sound. The incident of him being taken away by law enforcement was just a misunderstanding.
Then, people saw Lin Moyu and Gu Qingzhen’s names on the Contribution Ranking, ranked 8th and 9th respectively. This further proved that not only were they innocent, but they had made contributions.
The Contribution Ranking wasn’t something just anyone could get on - one had to make contributions to humanity to be listed.
New information then spread that Lin Moyu’s contribution came from completing the task of fully clearing 100 non-living star systems and setting up a star array there.
Many people rushed to the Vermilion Bird 100 non-living star systems to check, and found it to be true. The previously chaotic star systems filled with turbulent spiritual auras and strange creatures had become calm and peaceful, entering a process of self-repair. Given enough time, they would become suitable for life again.
Although humanity had many living star systems, having more was always better, which is why these tasks were issued in the first place.
Some might say it would be faster and better for Celestial Venerables to restore the star systems themselves. However, that would prevent the younger generation from experiencing the suffering of war and seeing what those once prosperous star systems had become. The higher-ups wanted to motivate and provoke the younger generation this way.
It was just that these tasks were extremely difficult, to the point where some thought they were impossible to complete. Yet Lin Moyu had accomplished it, proving the tasks were doable and the rewards attainable.
Lin Moyu’s fame rapidly grew amidst the doubts and acknowledgments, expanding throughout the entire Vermilion Bird Domain.
At the No. 10 Star Trading Center, Lin Moyu had been standing in front of the trading platform for a long time. After leaving the trading room, he had returned to the platform to search for the items he needed.
Since he had decided to go to the battlefield, the first thing Lin Moyu thought of was how to stay alive - specifically, how to survive against Celestial Kings.
He wasn’t thinking about weakling Celestial Kings like Lyu Hong, but at least against the level of the Black Falcon King or Bat King.
Although he had the Battle King Tower which greatly increased his survival chances, Celestial Kings also had ways to deal with it, like Lyu Hong’s massive net talisman that almost trapped him.
So Lin Moyu decided to go on the offensive as the best defense. He wanted to see if he could purchase any remains or corpses of Celestial Kings at the ninth level. Even remnants would do.
As long as he could obtain the remnants of a ninth-level Celestial King, he would truly have nothing to fear in the Celestial King realm.
However, the remains of Celestial Kings were not easily obtainable. No matter how much Lin Moyu searched, he couldn’t find any.
In the list of items he could see, there were some previously hidden items as well. These items were rarer, and among them, Lin Moyu saw Celestial King-level items.
For example, there was a Flame Extinguishing Sword containing the flame extinguishing law for 6 million points - a high-grade Celestial King-level artifact. However, it was useless to Lin Moyu, so he had no interest in purchasing it despite the high price.
Points were just numbers, and Lin Moyu had no intention of being stingy.
Since he couldn’t find any Celestial King remains, he only saw some remnants of True Divinities that could be used for pill or artifact refinement, but Lin Moyu wasn’t very interested.
After searching for a while, Lin Moyu now had a massive 8.77 million points, but hadn’t spent a single one.
"If the No. 10 Star Trading Center doesn’t have it, I wonder if other star systems’ trading centers might."
As far as he knew, different star systems not only had different tasks but also different items in their trading centers. Lin Moyu thought he could check a few other higher-level star systems, or perhaps he could find something at the street stalls.
If not, he could swallow his pride and ask Zhu Tian.
In any case, he was determined to obtain a life-saving talisman before going to the battlefield. The battlefield was too dangerous - while growing and completing the task were important, survival was the top priority. Without his life, nothing else mattered.
Lin Moyu spent an entire day at the trading center, carefully inspecting every corner, but still couldn’t find any Celestial King remains. Disappointed, he left the trading center.
Outside, there were still crowds of people coming and going. The old man from before was no longer there.
For some reason, Lin Moyu felt that the old man had been waiting specifically for him. This unfounded feeling struck him as odd.
"Or perhaps I’m overthinking it." Lin Moyu shook his head slightly and chuckled to himself.
Gradually, Lin Moyu noticed some new issues. Many people were looking at him, their gazes converging, and he could hear faint whispers around him:
"So this is Lin Moyu."
"Could it be someone with the same name? The first on the Potential Ranking is only a True Divinity First Level, is that possible?"
"The Potential Ranking isn’t ranked by cultivation level, maybe his potential is high enough."
"But for a True Divinity First Level to perfectly complete the task in Star System 100182 seems unlikely."
All kinds of voices reached his ears, and Lin Moyu found it increasingly strange. How had he suddenly become so famous? Why did it seem like everyone recognized him?
Was it because of the Potential Ranking?
But what about that task - how did everyone know about it?
Lin Moyu felt a bit dazed and unaccustomed to the attention.
"Lin Moyu!"
Suddenly, a loud shout rang out. Lin Moyu turned to look and immediately revealed an embarrassed expression.
Not far away, Chu Xiong was striding over with a domineering aura, his Celestial King aura surging skyward. The people around him instinctively stepped back to make way.
Chu Xiong had a ferocious look on his face, as if he was coming to pick a fight with Lin Moyu.
Lin Moyu cupped his fist in greeting. "Greetings, Senior Chu."
Chu Xiong snorted angrily. "You little brat, don’t think being polite now will save you. I’m telling you, apologizing is useless - I’m going to teach you a lesson today and show you what it means to respect your elders!"
