Chapter 890: Information Blockade
Lin Moyu carefully reviewed every entry on the status panel, including each accompanying explanation.
A quick glance at the realm and soul sections confirmed that he was only a 1st tier Transcendent God, while his soul had reached peak third grade, just one step away from 4th grade.
A 3rd grade soul was the minimum requirement for advancing to the God King realm, a fact Antares had told him before.
The status panel, however, provided far more detailed information.
Based on the grade of his soul, it explicitly stated that his current ceiling was the 9th tier God King realm, making his future cultivation path much clearer.
The potential evaluation section likewise explained the meaning of the legendary evaluation.
Ordinary evaluations were divided into four ranks: poor, average, excellent, and ultimate.
Legendary existed beyond this scale; anything surpassing ultimate was classified as legendary.
Legendary was not a fixed rank but a special designation.
Legendary figures such as War God Xiao Zhantian had once received the same evaluation.
However, earning a legendary evaluation did not guarantee someone would reach Xiao Zhantian's level.
It was merely an assessment of potential, not a predetermined destiny.
After reading the explanation, Lin Moyu smiled faintly.
Potential was only potential.
How far one ultimately progressed depended on personal effort and the opportunities encountered along the way.
Even so, anyone who received a legendary evaluation was undoubtedly a prodigy.
Without hesitation, he hid this information.
There was no reason to let others see it.
Next came his authority level.
Both in the Human Emperor Network and in the real world, every member of the human race possessed a corresponding authority level.
One's authority determined the areas they could access and the actions they were permitted to take.
When Lin Moyu had first arrived in the human world, his authority had been level 1, restricting him to his star system. Leaving it was strictly forbidden.
The Human Emperor Network followed the same rules.
Only after reaching level 2 could one travel to neighboring star systems, with the exact range determined by established regulations.
As people's realm increased, and they completed missions, they received points, and their authority gradually increased.
In a sense, points and authority were tied together, though not entirely.
Because of his legendary evaluation, Lin Moyu’s authority had advanced to level 2, and he had received 1,000 points.
This made perfect sense to him.
It resembled the military merit of the small world he came from.
In the early stages, military merits could be earned through steady accumulation.
Once someone reached the rank of general, however, that was no longer possible.
They had to personally slay a God-level powerhouse to earn a general star.
Points worked much the same way here. Once they reached a certain threshold, simply earning more points would no longer raise one's authority.
Further advancement required making genuine contributions to the human race.
Unlike the other information, authority could not be concealed. It was visible to everyone.
Comprehensive strength was simply the Human Emperor Network's overall evaluation based on one's assessment results.
It served only as a rough reference rather than an exact measure.
The importance of points was already obvious. Whether in the real world or within the Human Emperor Network, it was impossible to accomplish anything without them.
Finally, there was the law he mastered.
As expected, the Human Emperor Network had failed to identify the law of undead, instead classifying it as the law of death.
The mistake was understandable. The two laws were remarkably similar.
Moreover, Lin Moyu had never displayed the life aspect of the law of undeath.
Otherwise, the network might have concluded that he possessed the law of life as well.
In the end, Lin Moyu chose to display only his name and realm, as well as thee authority level that could not be hidden.
Everything else remained concealed.
To outsiders, his profile appeared simple.
[Lin Moyu]
[Realm: 1st tier Transcendent God]
[Highest authority: level 2]
What Lin Moyu didn't realize was that almost everyone did the same thing.
The door to the assessment chamber finally opened.
The golden light outside had already disappeared.
The moment Lin Moyu stepped out, countless strange gazes converged on him.
"You're finally out!”
"Kid, what were you doing in there for an entire day?"
"Did you fall asleep?"
"Did you really get the ultimate evaluation?"
Questions flew at him from every direction.
Lin Moyu merely frowned, remaining silent.
At that moment, Gu Qingxuan snapped, "Enough! Have you all forgotten the rules of the War God Temple?”
The crowd immediately fell silent.
One of the temple's strictest rules forbade anyone from questioning an examinee about the contents of their assessment.
Sheng Gaoxuan shrugged, "What's wrong with asking? He's free not to answer. We didn't force him, so we haven't broken any rules.”
Gu Qingxuan shot him a cold look, "You shouldn't have asked in the first place.”
Sheng Gaoxuan sneered, "My mouth is mine. I'll ask whatever the hell I want. Due to you being a woman, I won't argue with you today."
Lin Moyu looked at Sheng Gaoxuan for a moment, silently committing his face to memory.
Sheng Gaoxuan frowned, "Kid, I don't like the way you're looking at me.”
Lin Moyu replied calmly, "I don't like your mouth either. Remember this: misfortune comes from the mouth. Speak less and do more."
"Are you lecturing me?" Sheng Gaoxuan clenched his fists as the faint shimmer of a law gathered around them.
Gu Qingxuan scoffed, "You dare raise your hand inside the War God Temple?"
Sheng Gaoxuan seemed to remember where he was. He relaxed his fists, and a smile returned to his face.
"Of course not. I wouldn't dare break the temple's rules."
"Good. Let's go."
Gu Qingxuan led Lin Moyu away without another word.
The moment they stepped out of the War God Temple, she activated the teleportation formation, and the two of them returned to Inhabited Planet No. 98-1.
Before leaving, Lin Moyu met Old Luo once more.
They exchanged greetings, and for some reason, Lin Moyu felt the old man's gaze had changed.
It now resembled that of an elder looking upon an exceptionally promising junior, carrying a trace of warmth and approval.
Fighting was likewise forbidden on inhabited planets.
Any grievances had to be settled in the Human Emperor Network's arena.
Anyone who fought in the real world violated the human race's rules and would face the appropriate punishment.
Moreover, because the Human Emperor Network bridged the real and virtual worlds, no unlawful act could escape its surveillance.
Gu Qingxuan led Lin Moyu into a Mission Chamber, a special chamber designed for logging into the Human Emperor Network.
Mission Chambers were common across inhabited planets.
Activating it cost a single point and granted access for one hundred days—a remarkably low price.
After paying the fee, Gu Qingxuan entered the Mission Room with Lin Moyu, and together they logged into the Human Emperor Network.
Once inside, Gu Qingxuan hesitated for a long time before finally asking, "Was your evaluation really ultimate?”
She quickly added, "I'm not trying to pry. I'm just curious. You don't have to answer if you don't want to."
Lin Moyu smiled faintly and made his potential evaluation visible, "See for yourself."
Gu Qingxuan checked his information and couldn't help gasping, "Legendary?”
Lin Moyu concealed the information again.
"Yes. Legendary."
She looked puzzled, "What kind of evaluation is 'legendary'? I've never even heard of it."
Only then did Lin Moyu realize that the explanations attached to each evaluation varied from person to person.
Only those who had reached the corresponding level could see its description.
Since Gu Qingxuan's potential had not reached the legendary evaluation, she had no idea such an evaluation even existed.
Lin Moyu immediately understood that this was a form of information restriction.
It had been the same back in the small world.
Even after arriving in the greater world, nothing had changed.
Your level determined what information you were permitted to access.
If you weren't supposed to know something, you simply wouldn't.
Lin Moyu explained, "Legendary is simply an evaluation above ultimate. It doesn't have any special function.”
Gu Qingxuan nodded, "I see."
Then her eyes suddenly widened, and she cried out in surprise, "Wait... how is your authority level already level 2?”
