"Simulated?"

Wu Yan was stunned and felt even more incredulous, "Can divine authority also be simulated?"

"Yes."

Xiao Mu nodded and earnestly said, "Team leader, because this matter involves some of my personal privacy, please forgive me for not being able to explain the reasons to you."

"Alright, since it involves your personal privacy, I will not pursue it further."

Wu Yan tactfully changed the subject, his face once again filled with a smile, "Xiao Xiao, you're only at the later stage of the Yin God Realm and already possess an Earth God Rank, this fortune really makes me envious!"

Xiao Mu modestly replied, "Team leader, you overpraise me, it's just good luck."

"Good luck is also a kind of strength!"

Wu Yan did not hide his envy and said sourly, "I am different, I have already entered the early stage of the Divine Spirit Realm and yet don't even have the poorest Divine Spirit Rank."

Xiao Mu had long noticed that Wu Yan had entered the Divine Spirit Realm and consoled him, "Team leader, you've entered the Divine Spirit Realm, I believe it won't be long before you have your own Divine Spirit Rank."

"Ah! It's tough, a Divine Spirit Rank is not that easy to obtain."

Wu Yan sighed deeply, seeming to have no hope at all in obtaining a Divine Spirit Rank, but then, full of expectation, he looked at Xiao Mu, "Xiao Xiao, in terms of Divine Spirit Ranks, you've got to help your old team leader."

"This..."

Xiao Mu was taken aback, then shook his head, giving an excuse, "Team leader, how could I possibly be of help in this?"

Wu Yan's expression became serious, staring intently into Xiao Mu's eyes, "Xiao Xiao, you're truly modest. I know you can do it."

"You're lucky and have many hidden tricks. Your Realm might be a bit low, but your capabilities are stronger than those in the early stage of the True God Realm."

"Team leader, you're overpraising me!"

Stronger than the True God Realm?

Xiao Mu felt that Wu Yan's compliments were excessive. He admitted to having a bit of good luck, but to say his capabilities were stronger than those in the True God Realm seemed a bit much, didn't it?

"Overpraising you? No, Xiao Mu, the team leader is not exaggerating at all."

Wu Yan's expression was incredibly serious, "The great leader is in the True God Realm, do you think he could suddenly obtain twenty or thirty pieces of Divine Treasures? Could he acquire things like the Purple Void Silver Mist Crown, the Netherworld Judge's Pen? No! So when I say your capabilities are stronger than those in the True God Realm, it's not an exaggeration at all."

"This..."

Xiao Mu was momentarily at a loss for words, not knowing how to refute Wu Yan.

According to Wu Yan's argument, it seemed that his previous statement had some merit.

"So, Xiao Xiao, you must help your old team leader."

Wu Yan's tone was almost pleading, sincere, "Your old team leader is already in the early stage of the Divine Spirit Realm and still doesn't have his own Divine Spirit Rank, not even the poorest one."

"Moreover, I have no confidence in my future and don't even know when I might obtain a Divine Spirit Rank. I don't even know how I should go about getting one."

His eyes conveyed sincerity, "So, Xiao Xiao, you must help me, you must help your old team leader."

Xiao Mu wore a helpless expression. Wu Yan's words were so pitiable, he didn't know how to refuse.

But, were Divine Spirit Ranks really that easy to obtain?

He tactfully said, "Team leader, Divine Spirit Ranks are not that easy to obtain. I am also not sure I can get one."

"Instead of asking me for help in finding a Divine Spirit Rank, you might as well go ask the great leader. Since the team leader has entered the Divine Spirit Realm, maybe you could instantly get a Divine Spirit Rank by asking the great leader."

"If the great leader had a Divine Spirit Rank, he would have offered it long ago."

Wu Yan shook his head, disheartened, "Xiao Xiao, your old team leader currently can only rely on you, if you don't help me, no one else will."

"But, team leader..."

Xiao Mu was very distressed, once again making excuses, "Divine Spirit Ranks are really not easy to obtain, I have absolutely no assurance!"

Obtaining a Divine Spirit Position was truly not easy, even the lesser Wandering God Position or Yin Officer Position couldn't be obtained casually.

To possess a Yin God Position, one but needed to reach the Yin God Realm. However, most Mutated Beings only obtained a Yin God Position after stepping into the Divine Spirit Realm.

The great leader Wu Jie had already reached the early stage of the True God Realm, yet he could only possess a damaged Thunder God Position because of this.

"Xiao Mu, did you know that the Ruins had another meeting two months ago?" Wu Yan suddenly changed the topic.

"Another meeting?"

Xiao Mu was puzzled, what did this have to do with him?

Wu Yan continued, "This meeting was because the Boundary Wall at Kunlun Mountain was breached, allowing Extraterrestrial Divine Spirits and champions of the True God Realm to enter the Human world."

"One of the Extraterrestrial Land Gods descended right between our Great Tang Ruins and the Yin Merchant Ruins in the Canglin Region."

Extraterrestrial Land God, that still doesn't seem to relate to me, does it?

Xiao Mu listened in confusion, feeling inexplicably odd. Why was Wu Yan telling him all this?

Wu Yan went on, "That Extraterrestrial Land God, on the first day he entered the Canglin Region, slaughtered an entire village and sent a message to the Yin Merchant Ruins demanding that you be handed over."

"Hand me over? The Extraterrestrial Land God?"

Xiao Mu was utterly stunned. How had it become related to him again?

He really couldn't understand why these Extraterrestrial Evil Beings were all paying attention to him.

Wu Yan stared intently at Xiao Mu, seriously saying, "Xiao Mu, I don't know what you've done to attract the attention of so many Extraterrestrial Evil Beings. These matters aren't my concern."

"What I need to tell you is, after the news was passed along, the new second group leader, Cui Yan, firmly stated that he wanted to hand you over to the Extraterrestrial Land God to achieve peace, but I strongly disagreed."

Xiao Mu raised an eyebrow, now understanding why Wu Yan was telling him all this. Expressing his gratitude, he said, "The leader's protection of me, Xiao Mu truly appreciates from the bottom of my heart!"

Wu Yan sadly shook his head, mournfully saying, "I protected you, but did you know that at the meeting your old group leader conflicted with Cui Yan and they came to blows?"

"With the leader's strength, he should be able to defeat Cui Yan, right?" guessed Xiao Mu, confidently.

Wu Yan managed a bitter smile, shaking his head with unparalleled distress, "Shamefully, as the group leader without a Divine Spirit Position, I was taken by surprise by Cui Yan, subdued and forced to kneel publicly, making a fool of myself in front of all the elders and leaders."

Xiao Mu was stunned, momentarily at a loss for words to comfort Wu Yan.

All he could say was that Wu Yan was indeed unlucky, to have been subdued and made to kneel publicly by Cui Yan, embarrassing himself in front of numerous leaders and elders.

No wonder he was sharing this with me, even appealing to me, just to obtain a Divine Spirit Position.

If it were me, I probably wouldn't handle it any better than Wu Yan.

"So, you must help your old group leader."

Wu Yan looked at Xiao Mu with a determined yet unwilling expression, "Cui Yan is of the same Realm as me, and his real strength might not even match mine, but relying on an Earth God Rank, he publicly humiliated me. Xiao Mu, your old group leader can't accept this!"

"How could I, Wu Yan, be subdued by Cui Yan? If anyone should be subduing, it should be me subduing him!"

"Your old group leader isn't asking for much, just a Divine Spirit Position capable of countering the Earth God Rank."

"Cui Yan made me look foolish; I must take my revenge. Don't say your old group leader is petty, you didn't see the situation then, you don't know how despicable that Cui Yan is!"

"Alright, Chief Wu, I agree," said Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu felt persuaded, Wu Yan had explained it to this extent, it would be unreasonable for him not to agree.

While a Divine Spirit Position was indeed hard to obtain, trying wouldn't hurt him, "Leader, don't hold too high hopes for me. I'll do my best to find a Divine Spirit Position for you. But if by chance I really can't get it, I hope you won't blame me."

"How could I?"

Upon hearing Xiao Mu's agreement, Wu Yan immediately felt much more relieved and reassured, "So long as you do your best, even if you ultimately don't get a Divine Spirit Position, your old group leader will still be grateful."

After chatting a bit more with Wu Yan and leaving his office, Xiao Mu headed to Elder Zun's office.

Elder Zun had also left him a message, and it seemed quite urgent, as though something significant had occurred.
