"Stingy! Did you think I would fancy your belongings?"

Wu De, the Divine Monarch, cursed unhappily, then added, "I do have an idea, but first, you should discuss it with your two comrades to see if they agree that after destroying the Black Giant Stele, the incense burner will be yours."

"Alright, I'll ask them!"

Xiao Mu was pleased by Wu De, the Divine Monarch's words; it meant there was still a way to destroy the Black Giant Stele.

As for the possession of the incense burner being his, Xiao Mu didn't particularly care, as the one who truly needed the incense burner was Wu De, the Divine Monarch.

Approaching Xu Qianwu and Fang Ying, "Elder Xu, Elder Fang, I do have a strategy we could try. However, if it indeed destroys the Black Giant Stele, I would like to have that incense burner."

Xu Qianwu and Fang Ying were both taken aback.

Xiao Mu was only at the Yin God Realm—what use did he have for a True Gods' incense burner?

Fang Ying curiously asked, "Xiao Xiao, that's a True Gods' incense burner. It wouldn't really be of use to you, would it? Can you share why you need it?"

"This..."

Xiao Mu hesitated for a moment, then diplomatically said, "Elder Fang, the incense burner has an important use for me. As for what exactly it's for, since it involves critical privacy, I apologize, but I cannot explain it to Elder Fang."

Fang Ying was taken aback; she hadn't expected Xiao Mu to respond like that. After thinking it over, she finally agreed, "You can have the incense burner, but afterwards, I must report its whereabouts to the chief leader."

"There's no need to report it."

Xu Qianwu suddenly interrupted Fang Ying and loudly said, "Fang Ying, both our Divine Spirit Tablets were repaired because Xiao Xiao gave us fragments of the Divine Treasure. Since he wants the incense burner, let's just give it to him, as a way to repay him for those fragments."

"As for the chief leader, I don't think a report is needed. Incense burner? What incense burner? Did you see one? Anyway, I didn't."

"This...alright then, let's say no more!"

Fang Ying hesitated briefly, then agreed with Xu Qianwu.

As Xu Qianwu had said, both had greatly benefited from Xiao Mu; now that Xiao Mu desired the incense burner, it only made sense to do him this favor.

True Gods' incense burner, though precious, was of little practical use to most in the Alliance.

"Thank you both, Elders." Xiao Mu smiled upon hearing their words and bowed in thanks to Xu Fang.

"Thanks for what? We both reaped benefits from you; it's only right to repay you somehow." Xu Qianwu dismissively waved his hand at Xiao Mu, then asked, "However, what is this method of destroying the Black Giant Stele you spoke of? Can you share it now?"

"One moment, Elders!"

Xiao Mu began to communicate with Wu De, the Divine Monarch using Divine Sense Communication, "Senior, can you now share the method to destroy the Black Giant Stele?"

Wu De, the Divine Monarch said, "The method is actually quite simple, but ultimately, it still requires a certain sacrifice from you."

"Of those two comrades of yours, the one surnamed Xu has relatively good strength; just a slight enhancement, and he could potentially destroy the Black Giant Stele."

"Senior, you don't mean the fragments of the Divine Treasure, do you? I really don't have many left, not enough to enhance Elder Xu's strength." Xiao Mu, recalling something, spoke through Divine Sense.

"Is that all you have on you?" Wu De, the Divine Monarch scoffed, "I'm talking about the Divine Treasure Purple Sun Silver Light Crown on your Land God's head."

"Purple Sun Silver Light Crown?"

Xiao Mu was surprised and quickly said, "Senior, the Purple Sun Silver Light Crown is the Land God's official cap; Elder Xu being a Mountain God, it's not suitable for him."

"Lack of vision!"

Wu De, the Divine Monarch harshly critiqued Xiao Mu, "I of course know the Purple Sun Silver Light Crown isn't suitable for that little fellow surnamed Xu, but the official caps of the Mountain God and the Land God are extremely similar. With just a minor modification, the Purple Sun Silver Light Crown can be turned into a Purple Void Silver Mist Crown."

Xiao Mu was astonished and curiously asked, "A minor modification, the official cap can be modified?"

Wu De, the Divine Monarch's tone was tinged with annoyance as he shouted, "I'm telling you, Xiao kid, you wouldn't be clinging to your Land cap, would you? Disappointing! Didn't I tell you before, once I'm freed, you can have as many of these trashes as you want. At that time, I will give you an entire set of the City God's official attire."

"Heh heh!"

Xiao Mu smiled and transmitted his voice through Divine Sense Communication, "Senior, I'm not reluctant to part with the Land God cap, I was just curious if it could be transformed into a Mountain God cap. May I ask, Senior, how can it be transformed?"

"You are just being stingy about your Land God cap!"

Wu De, the Divine Monarch, grumbled under his breath with a hint of annoyance and didn't intend to argue further with Xiao Mu. "This monarch will tell you how to transform it, but after the transformation, its power will slightly diminish, not equal to the true Purple Void Silver Mist Crown. You should be clear about this."

"After the official cap's power diminishes, will Elder Xu still have enough strength to destroy the Black Giant Stele?" Xiao Mu asked worriedly.

"What, you don't trust this monarch?"

Wu De seemed unhappy due to Xiao Mu's lack of trust but still responded, "Enough, aren't you and that boy surnamed Fang here to help? After Elder Xu uses your official cap and his strength is enhanced, you and the boy surnamed Fang can join forces to help him, and destroying the stele won't be an issue."

"I feel reassured hearing Senior say that," Xiao Mu sighed in relief.

Wu De transmitted the method to transform the Silver Radiance Crown into the Purple Sun Silver Light Crown through Divine Sense Communication to Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu listened quietly, carefully memorizing every word, revisited it once again to ensure everything was correct, and then turned to Xu Qianwu and Fang Ying.

"Elder Xu, Elder Fang, please hold on, I'll be right back."

Xu Qianwu asked curiously, "Xiao Xiao, do you need our help?"

However, Fang Ying said, "Hurry back quickly!"

"No need for help, I will be back soon." Xiao Mu responded to them both, deployed the Earth Escape Technique, and departed, stopping just out of sight.

He removed the Silver Radiance Crown and started modifying the Land God cap using the method taught by Wu De.

As it was his first attempt, Xiao Mu's actions were clumsy, but with Wu De's guidance, he eventually succeeded smoothly, transforming the Silver Radiance Crown into the Mountain God's Purple Void Silver Mist Crown.

In fact, the modification of the Land God cap took only about two to three minutes for Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu used the Earth Escape Technique to return.

"Xiao Xiao, have you thought of a way?"

"Xiao Xiao, what plan have you thought of?"

Xu Qianwu and Fang Ying had been anxiously waiting for Xiao Mu, and as they saw him approaching, they immediately walked over to him.

"I've thought of a way," Xiao Mu nodded in response.

Joy appeared on the faces of Xu Qianwu and Fang Ying.

Xiao Mu looked at Xu Qianwu, "Elder Xu, did you just say that with a bit more strength, you could destroy the Black Giant Stele?"

"Yes,"

Xu Qianwu hurriedly said, "Xiao Xiao, my power is a bit low now, just lending me twenty or thirty Divine Treasure fragments for absorption would raise my power enough to compete with the late stages of the Divine Spirits realm and have the capability to destroy the stele. The method you thought of, isn't it to lend me Divine Treasure fragments? Don't worry, this time it's just borrowing, I will return them afterward, and if I can't, the Alliance will help return them, you can be certain of that."

Xiao Mu said, "Elder Xu, I'd also like to lend you Divine Treasure fragments, but I really don't have any on me."

"Fortunately, you mentioned that all it takes is a slight increase in power to destroy the Black Giant Stele. This increase in power doesn't necessarily have to depend on absorbing Divine Treasure fragments, right?"

"That's right, any boost in power would suffice."

Xu Qianwu nodded.

"That's good to hear," Xiao Mu slightly smiled and continued, "Elder Xu, I just modified my Silver Radiance Crown into the Mountain God's Purple Void Silver Mist Crown."

"Of course, the power might have diminished a bit post-transformation, not as strong as a true Purple Void Silver Mist Crown, but the reduction isn't significant, it should still be sufficient."

"Elder Xu, I plan to give you this Purple Void Silver Mist Crown outright, you needn't return it afterward. I hope that once you wear this crown, you truly can destroy the Black Giant Stele."

Xiao Mu said as he reached into the Earth Seal Space, then took out an official cap that was very similar to the Silver Radiance Crown, yet slightly different, gleaming with a purple light, and handed it to Xu Qianwu.
