"Xiao Mu, what good are you thinking about? How could Divine Spirit Positions possibly be held simultaneously?" Before Senior Zun had a chance to speak, Huang Yuan jumped in impatiently and with dissatisfaction, responding to Xiao Mu, "A Divine Spirit Position is like a job title. Do you think it's possible for someone to have two job titles at the same time?"

"Actually… it is indeed possible. There are even people who hold three positions at the same time." Xiao Mu weakly replied, feeling that the example Huang Yuan used was really quite poor.

Huang Yuan was stunned, suddenly frozen in thought, his old face flushed with embarrassment, clearly unable to save face.

"Cough, cough!"

Senior Zun coughed to smooth things over, "Old Huang's example might not be quite appropriate, but the meaning is as he meant. Xiao Mu, a Divine Spirit Position is similar to a person's identity; it's impossible for anyone to hold two Divine Spirit Positions at the same time."

Xiao Mu thought for a moment, then questioned, "If that's the case, how should we choose when faced with a Divine Spirit Position? What if we choose the wrong one?"

"When have we ever had the chance to choose a Divine Spirit Position, Xiao Mu? Do you think Divine Spirit Positions are weeds? Something you can pull up anywhere you look?"

Huang Yuan, having recovered from his embarrassment, began to refute Xiao Mu once more, retaliating for the discomfort he had caused, "Every Divine Spirit Position is very rare, and when we encounter one, there's really no opportunity to choose. Generally speaking, you just directly take whatever position you come across."

"That's not necessarily the case."

Xiao Mu muttered under his breath, not willing to concede, yet deep down he quite agreed with what Huang Yuan had said.

Divine Spirit Positions are far too scarce, not something everyone can obtain. In fact, most of the powerhouses in the Alliance, while in the Yin God Realm, don't even qualify to get a Divine Spirit Position. It's only after stepping into the Divine Spirit Level that they have the chance to obtain one.

But even then, those in the Divine Spirit Level who have the chance to acquire a position mostly end up with the lower-tier Yin God Position, rather than the Divine Spirit Position.

It could even be said that in the entire Alliance, there are very few individuals in the Divine Spirit Level who manage to acquire a Divine Spirit Position—they are few and far between.

Senior Zun continued, "While that is true, it's not to say that we shouldn't choose our positions carefully. If there truly is a chance to choose, our first priority should unquestionably be the True God Position."

"At any level, the True God Position is the strongest. For example, in the Yin God Realm, it includes the Mountain God Position and the Land God Position—these two ranks belong to the True God Position. Other roles, such as the Door God Position, the Stove God Position, the Wandering God Position, the Yin God Position, and the Judge Position, are all Partial God Positions."

"Similarly, in the Divine Spirit Level, the best choice would also be the respective level's True God Position, the City God Position. Other positions such as the Thunder God Position, Electromother Position, Netherlord Position, Dragon Lord Position are always a notch below when compared to the City God Position."

"If there is an option to choose, the first preference should undoubtedly be the True God Position of that level."

"Also, Xiao Mu, you already possess an Earth God Rank, don't you? Why are you asking such questions?"

Senior Zun was puzzled, finding Xiao Mu's sudden inquiries about position selection strange.

Huang Yuan stared at Xiao Mu disapprovingly, "Xiao Mu, don't be ungrateful. The Earth God Rank is the True God Position of the Yin God Level. Possessing a True God Position, what more could you be dissatisfied with?"

It was clear that they were too hasty, not even waiting for me to finish my sentence.

Xiao Mu inwardly muttered to himself. Huang Yuan was the impatient type, quick to rebut before allowing him to finish—a fact within reason. However, it was unusual that this time, Senior Zun also spoke at length without waiting for him to finish, which was quite rare.

Could it be because of the influence of the Netherlord's Treasure that he became overly excited and lost his composure?

He hurriedly explained, "Senior Zun, Senior Huang, what I actually want to ask is, for someone like me who has chosen the Earth God Rank, is it possible to choose the Netherlord Position once I reach the Divine Spirit Level?"

"So it turns out you've been eyeing the Netherlord's Treasure." Huang Yuan glanced at Xiao Mu with understanding, "No wonder you keep asking all these questions. Xiao Mu, I must say, I didn't expect you to be so hypocritical!"

Xiao Mu's nose twitched as he decided to ignore Huang Yuan's words and offered no rebuttal.

Senior Zun smiled and answered, "Of course, you can choose. But currently, you have the Earth God Rank, and upon entering the Divine Spirit Level, the best option would still be the City God Position."

"Choosing the Netherlord Position might be possible too, but it could present some difficulties and perhaps require some special conditions. After all, the Netherlord Position and the Earth God Rank aren't part of the same system."

Is that so?

Xiao Mu listened, but in his mind, he began to ponder.

Senior Zun mentioned that the Netherlord Position and the Earth God Rank don't belong to the same system—a concept he understood. The Netherlord Position is part of the Reincarnation System, which ultimately falls under the management of the Reincarnation Emperor.

The Earth God Rank belongs to the True God system and is under the jurisdiction of the City God and the Prefecture Lord.

The difference between them is similar to that of administration and judiciary in the secular world; although they can be mobilized interchangeably, there are distinct differences.

Faced with a complete set of Netherlord Rank, even Senior Zun and Huang Yuan couldn't help but be tempted, so how could Xiao Mu not be tempted?

The reason he asked so many questions was actually to consider whether it was necessary for him to choose the Netherlord Rank after stepping into the Divine Spirit Level.

However, what Senior Zun said made Xiao Mu hesitate.

According to Senior Zun and what Wu De, the Divine Monarch, had previously told Xiao Mu, there was no doubt that the City God Rank was the prime choice for the Divine Spirit Level.

This was not only because the City God Rank was a True God Rank within the Divine Spirit Level, but also because it was the strongest among all Divine Spirit Ranks.

Not having thought for long, Xiao Mu suddenly laughed at himself.

He suddenly realized that he might indeed be overthinking; although there was a complete Netherlord Rank before him, he likely had no choice in the matter.

It had been a long time since he had obtained the City God Rank.

Because he hadn't reached the required Realm, the City God Rank had not yet manifested itself.

But even though it had not emerged, the authority of the City God Rank had always been stored within his Seal of the Heavenly Emperor.

"Forget it! Since I already have the City God Rank, there's no need to consider this Netherlord Rank!"

Xiao Mu heaved a quiet sigh, feeling an inexplicable sense of regret in his heart.

To say he felt no regret would be a lie; after all, he had a complete set of Netherlord Rank, which could even allow him to battle certain True Gods with incomplete ranks once he entered the Divine Spirit Level.

Xiao Mu collected his emotions and thanked Senior Zun and Huang Yuan for their warnings.

Senior Zun casually said, "No need for thanks; since Miaoyi tasked you with handling the Netherlord Rank, how you want to deal with it is, of course, up to you. Even if you want to switch ranks after entering the Divine Spirit Level, we would support you."

In truth, I couldn't switch even if I wanted to.

Xiao Mu earnestly said, "Thank you for your support, Senior, but I do not intend to switch ranks. Since the True God Rank is the strongest, after entering the Divine Spirit Level, of course, I will still choose the City God Rank appropriate for that level."

Huang Yuan snorted disapprovingly, "You sure are ambitious, kid. Strong as the City God Rank is, without a Divine Treasure, it can't compare to the Netherlord Rank."

"I advise you to switch to the Netherlord Rank. Don't worry, no one will laugh at you. As Senior Zun said, since Miaoyi entrusted you with the Netherlord's treasure, whoever you decide to give it to or not is your choice, and no one will question it."

"Thank you for the reminder, Senior, but I will not choose the Netherlord Rank!"

Xiao Mu bowed his hands in thanks to Huang Yuan, knowing that although the man might have a sharp tongue, he had a good heart; otherwise, he wouldn't have offered his advice.

Xiao Mu's issue was that he couldn't switch ranks even if he wanted to; already possessing the City God Rank, he could not cultivate the Netherlord Rank after entering the Divine Spirit Level.

"So unappreciative! Fine, have it your way!"

Huang Yuan glared and said no more to persuade Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu took out the Heavenly Secret Concealing Objects given by the Reincarnation Emperor and absorbed them together with Senior Zun and Huang Yuan.

Seeing the number of Heavenly Secret Concealing Objects, Senior Zun and Huang Yuan were once more impressed.

After the absorption was complete, the three of them extended the time they could conceal Heaven's Secret by another year.

The three of them followed the Paper Bridge back the way they came, and there were no accidents along the way. They successfully emerged from the Reincarnation Path and returned to the Human world.

"Xiao Mu, where do you plan to go?" Having sealed the entrance to the Reincarnation Path, Senior Zun turned his head to look at Xiao Mu.
