The main reason lies in the task itself; this task is related to the Ancient Period.

If one can obtain information about the Ancient Period from it and bring that information back, the reward will increase significantly.

The Ancient Period is what matters most; the upper echelons of the human race place special importance on the events that occurred during that era.

Contribution points are also for this reason.

But then the question arises: why do the human race's upper echelons value the Ancient Period so much?

It shouldn't just be the human race's upper echelons. Zhu Qiwu has said that the upper echelons of all races are searching for information about the Ancient Period.

There must be a reason for this, but what exactly is it for?

Lin Moyu racked his brains but couldn't figure it out.

"Perhaps only when one reaches that level will they truly understand." Lin Moyu said with a hint of self-mockery. Unknowingly, he seemed to have let his thoughts wander too far again.

A pair of delicate, jade-like feet entered his line of sight. Lin Moyu slowly looked up at the person who had arrived. "Why have you come over?"

Red Fire's appearance and her gentle voice created a very distinct sense of dissonance.

Yuzhu's expression revealed a hint of oddity; she was very unaccustomed to it.

She came over and sat down in front of Lin Moyu, smiling sweetly. "Captain, since you won't come to find me, are you not going to allow me to take the initiative to find you?"

Lin Moyu drank his wine without responding to Yuzhu's words.

Yuzhu must have come to find him because there was something the matter.

Yuzhu sighed helplessly. "Captain, you're good at everything, except you lack a sense of humor. Fine, fine, I really do have something to find you about."

Lin Moyu looked at her, signaling her to continue.

Yuzhu looked around. "Captain, how about we go somewhere else to talk?"

There were quite a few people here, and even if she used soul transmission, she couldn't guarantee it wouldn't be overheard.

She knew that some powerful God Venerables possessed such abilities.

Lin Moyu said, "No need, just speak directly. No one can hear us."

As he spoke, Lin Moyu moved his soul, and an invisible soul force enveloped the two of them.

Yuzhu only felt the surroundings become incomparably quiet; outside sounds could no longer enter, and similarly, their voices could not get out.

"Hee hee, the Captain still has the best methods."

She tried to butter him up, but unfortunately, Lin Moyu, that steel-straight man, didn't appreciate it.

Yuzhu sighed helplessly and brought up the main topic. "I just received an order from the Ancestor, wanting the Captain to go on a task."

The wine cup paused at his lips. The Yu Family was a massive clan with an extremely long heritage.

They were extremely powerful in terms of wealth, intelligence, and influence.

The key was that they were extremely low-key, unlike some families with prominent reputations.

Those who hadn't reached a certain level would not know of the Yu Family's existence at all.

Lin Moyu guessed that there must be experts of the Other Shore Realm within the Yu Family.

The Ancestor that Yuzhu spoke of was very likely an expert of the Other Shore Realm.

Lin Moyu thought about many things in an instant. He still didn't speak, signaling Yuzhu to continue.

Yuzhu understood Lin Moyu's personality and continued, "Rest assured, Captain, you won't be doing this for nothing."

"The Ancestor has posted the task onto the Human Emperor Network; you can accept the task directly from the Human Emperor Network."

"Moreover, this task is a task exclusive to the Captain; only you can accept it."

"The Ancestor said that whether you accept it or not is up to you; he will not force you."

Lin Moyu understood the meaning behind Yuzhu's words. "So, you don't know what the specific task is either."

Yuzhu's pretty face flushed red. "Captain, don't expose me like that."

After talking for so long, it turned out Yuzhu was just a messenger.

Lin Moyu smiled slightly. "Then do you know why your family's Ancestor is looking for me to do this task?"

Yuzhu said, "The Ancestor didn't explicitly say, but the general idea is that the Captain just completed a task that no one else could finish. The Ancestor feels that this task he has issued can only be completed by the Captain."

Lin Moyu pondered for a few seconds. After drinking his wine, he said, "Whether I accept it or not is up to me; it seems this task is not safe."

Yuzhu nodded her head. "I think so too, so Captain, you don't have to accept it."

"I'll go take a look first."

At this moment, there was still more than a year until the Four Star Domain Competition, so there should be enough time to complete a task.

As for danger, what task doesn't have danger? The key is whether the reward is sufficient.

Lin Moyu paid the bill and left the restaurant, with Yuzhu following closely behind him.

The two walked toward the Task Center, drawing a great deal of attention along the way.

Lin Moyu, wearing Red Fire's appearance, was shirtless, revealing solid muscles.

He looked somewhat wild, like a ferocious beast.

Yet, Lin Moyu faintly exuded an air of nobility, giving people a formless sense of oppression.

When people saw him, they would instinctively avert their gaze.

Meanwhile, the beautiful Yuzhu was like a submissive bird, following obediently by Lin Moyu's side with a joyful smile on her face.

The two were truly a Beauty and the Beast, reaping a large amount of attention.

Yuzhu giggled. "Captain, don't you think this is even more eye-catching?"

Lin Moyu gave a hum of acknowledgment. "It doesn't matter, as long as they don't crowd around."

Yuzhu asked, "Captain, can you tell me how you thought of changing into this appearance at the time?"

"This person left a deep impression on me."

Lin Moyu spoke the truth. Although he had only met Red Fire once, Red Fire's unique appearance had left a deep impression on him.

So, he had turned into Red Fire's appearance at the time, and it seemed the effect was quite good.

Yuzhu was somewhat surprised. "There really is someone who looks like this? The world is truly vast and full of wonders."

"Captain, have you never thought about changing into someone else's appearance?"

"But come to think of it, Captain, your skin is really good; it feels like a magical artifact."

"Captain, you know, many people have returned to their own star systems recently."

"There are many people here now, but I estimate that in a while, it will decrease by more than half."

"The preliminary rounds of the Four Star Domain Competition are about to begin. Are you going back, Captain?"

Yuzhu was like a skylark, chattering away non-stop.

Lin Moyu listened quietly without speaking.

After finishing talking about the Four Star Domain Competition, Yuzhu brought up some things that had happened recently. "Do you know, Captain? A pretty big thing happened recently."

"Xiao Sheng has appeared again. He disappeared for several hundred years, and now he has actually appeared again."

"And as soon as he appeared, he went to War Zone 10 and killed a God Venerable of the Golden Eagle Race."

"The news we received is that Xiao Sheng has already ascended to the God Venerable Realm, and he is a very powerful God Venerable."

"I didn't expect that after disappearing for so many years, Xiao Sheng had actually gone into seclusion to break through to the God Venerable Realm."

Lin Moyu did not expect Xiao Sheng to return so quickly.

He had originally thought it would take another year or so.

Xiao Sheng was indeed a man of his word, saying he would slaughter 100 God Venerables of enemy races for him and bring their heads back to give to him.

It seems he really went to do it.

Yuzhu said, "I wonder, compared to the Captain, who is more of a genius?"

"I think the Captain is still more impressive; after all, he is already over 1000 years old."

Yuzhu's eyes were filled with admiration for Lin Moyu; no one was better than Lin Moyu.

Chapter 1463: To Accept or Not to Accept, That Is Not the Question

Privately issued tasks are different from ordinary tasks.

Ordinary tasks only provide general information and give the corresponding rewards; the detailed content of the task can only be seen after accepting it.

Moreover, once a task is accepted, one cannot go back on it; the only outcomes are completion or failure.

When accepting ordinary tasks, besides testing the cultivator's judgment, there is also a certain element of luck.

In the process of cultivation, luck is very important.

Many people have supreme talent, but if their luck is poor, they end up dying halfway through.

But the private task at hand is not like that. The private task issued by the Yu Family's Ancestor has already stated all the information clearly; whether to accept it or not is up to one's own will.

The reward for the task is very generous, so generous that it is hard for Lin Moyu to refuse.

[Special Task: Enter Area 10-03, search for the lost artifact.]

[Young Friend Lin, the Yu Family has an artifact lost in Area 10-03. I hope Young Friend Lin can retrieve it on our behalf.]

[Area 10-03 exists in a very special form; physical bodies cannot enter it.]

[After the artifact was lost, our Yu Family dispatched several God Venerables to search for it, but all ended in failure, and two God Venerables died inside.]

[From the information we have obtained, the stronger one's soul is, the higher the possibility of surviving inside.]

[Regardless of whether the artifact can be retrieved, the Yu Family will pay the corresponding price.]

[Task Reward: Basic reward of 50,000 task points. If the task item is brought back, an additional 100,000 task points and one God Venerable Realm artifact will be added.]

The reward is truly too generous. As long as one accepts the task and goes to Area 10-03, even if the task is not completed, one can obtain 50,000 task points.

50,000 task points are exactly enough for Lin Moyu to raise his authority to level five.

For Lin Moyu, this is also a moderate temptation.

If the task can be successfully completed, an additional 100,000 task points and a God Venerable Realm artifact will be added.

Lin Moyu is very clear about how precious a God Venerable Realm artifact is.

Don't look at the fact that he has a net worth of over 600 million points right now; it's not enough to buy one God Venerable Realm artifact.

The cheapest God Venerable Realm artifact starts at 1 billion points.

It can be seen that the Yu Family's Ancestor has really bled heavily this time.

Paying such a great price naturally also represents that this task is not easy.

An area where physical bodies cannot enter and only souls can go.

Even God Venerables have fallen inside; he will definitely face danger if he goes there.

Lin Moyu weighed the situation, and Yuzhu's voice came to his ears. "Captain, how is it?"

She didn't know the specific information about the task either, but she saw that Lin Moyu seemed to be somewhat conflicted.

Lin Moyu was indeed conflicted. If he accepted it, given his personality, he would definitely want to do his best to complete the task and would not deliberately fail.

He would not do that for this mere 50,000 points.

But the danger is also a factor that must be considered. While a God Venerable artifact is good, what if he loses his life?

Lin Moyu couldn't make a decision for a moment. Looking at Yuzhu, who was blinking her large eyes, Lin Moyu said in a low voice, "Let me think about it."

Yuzhu gave an "oh" and stopped disturbing Lin Moyu.

The artifact the Yu Family lost is a soul artifact, and it is a soul artifact of a very high grade.

Its grade is at least high-level God Venerable Realm, or even the Other Shore Realm.

Otherwise, it would not be worth spending such a price.

Moreover, Lin Moyu guessed that besides its high grade, this artifact would have some special functions.
