"Very good!"

Xiao Mu nodded and was about to say something more when the transmission from the Divine Monarch Wu De came from the Black Jade Plate, secretly instructing Xiao Mu, "Xiao child, let them enter my temple."

"The Divine Spirits of the temple wish to summon you; follow me inside," he said.

Xiao Mu maintained his composure, turning to look at the five mortal Incense Servants.

"Yes, yes, Divine Being,"

the five mortals hurriedly agreed, not daring to defy, though their expressions grew even more restrained.

"There's no need to be nervous; it's a good thing for you,"

said Xiao Mu, noticing the nervousness of the five mortal Incense Servants. A hint of a smile appeared on his face as he spoke soothingly.

Even so, the five mortals were still full of fear, their mood not lightened in the slightest by Xiao Mu's reassurances.

Seeing this, Xiao Mu said no more and led the five Incense Servants into the Divine Monarch Wu De's temple.

"Are you the ones who have been worshipping incense for me?"

In the temple, the Sculpted Image of Divine Monarch Wu De suddenly spoke.

The aura of a True God seeped from the Black Jade Plate; due to Wu De still being sealed within the plate, this aura appeared extremely weak.

But even so, the aura of a True God was still the aura of a True God. No matter how weak, it was of a much higher order than that of Divine Spirits or the Yin God.

As the Sculpted Image of Divine Monarch Wu De was infused with this aura of a True God, it immediately released five-colored Auspicious Qi.

The Qi appeared vibrant and stunning, and behind the divine image, a five-colored rainbow miraculously appeared.

The light of the five colors shone through, and in an instant, the entire temple was filled with an astonishing Auspicious Qi.

Auspicious Qi descended from the heavens, filling the entire temple. In a flash, the whole temple was imbued with a taste of prosperity and vitality.

Witnessing the Auspicious Qi within the temple, Xiao Mu suddenly felt a stirring in his heart, and in a moment, he gained a measure of understanding of the authority wielded by Divine Monarch Wu De as a True God.

No wonder he is called Divine Monarch Wu De; indeed, it is related to virtues.

Xiao Mu muttered to himself.

The virtue of Divine Monarch Wu De seemed to be associated with retribution, yet different; Xiao Mu saw the distinction.

The Divine Spirits overseeing retribution reward good and punish evil. However, the Five Virtues presided over by Divine Monarch Wu De leaned more towards fortune, and at the same time, distinctly differed from the authority of fate associated with the Fate system.

Because what Wu De presided over seemed more inclined towards good fortune and auspicious omens.

The five Incense Servants were completely dumbfounded upon hearing the divine image speak. In their excitement, they immediately knelt on both knees before the Sculpted Image, devoutly paying homage, "We pay our respects to the Divine Being."

"Divine Being, greetings!"

"Divine Being, Li Dazhuang offers his respects to you."

...

An authoritative voice from Divine Monarch Wu De resounded from the Sculpted Image, "Very good, you have done well. You have kept my incense burning continuously, which pleases me greatly."

"Next, you must continue to worship incense for me. Use the best Mutant Incense, and ensure that incense is burning at all times, every day, every moment. The Flame of Incense must not be extinguished for even a quarter or a second."

"Yes, yes, Divine Being, we will make sure to devoutly offer incense for you."

"Divine Being, please rest assured, I will always ensure your Incense Fire is burning."

...

The five mortal servants bowed their heads low, daring not to look up at Divine Monarch Wu De, but making continuous promises, their excitement unmistakable.

"Good, if you do well, I will reward you."

"Since you have always done well, I plan to reward you first."

Divine Monarch Wu De's Sculpted Image said these encouraging words.

"Thank you, Divine Being!"

"Thank you, Divine Being!"

The five mortal Incense Servants were immensely excited, thanking him while eagerly prostrating before the Sculpted Image of Wu De.

"This is your reward for your dedicated work," replied Wu De, his voice still filled with gravity.

No sooner had his voice faded than an even more intense Rosy Cloud light emerged from the Sculpted Image, turning into Auspicious Clouds in the blink of an eye, floating above the heads of the five mortal Incense Servants and then descending upon them.

Bathed in the Rosy Clouds, the five mortal Incense Servants sensed something, their faces showing excitement, surprise, joy, and trembling - a complex mix of delighted expressions.

But as Wu De spoke, "You have done well, I bestow Blessings upon you. You serve my Incense Fire and cannot pursue other endeavors, but your family members and children who engage in other pursuits will most certainly flourish, everything will go as desired, and five blessings will meet them at their door."

"Thank you, Divine Being!"

"Thank you, Divine Being! I offer my deepest respects to you, Divine Being!"

...

The five mortal Incense Servants became incredibly excited upon hearing this, sensing that the Auspicious Qi, Rosy Clouds, and Auspicious Omens that fell upon them instantly changed their fortunes, as if they had received some kind of divine reward.

"Serve me well and faithfully keep my Incense Fire burning, and I will have even more rewards for you," promised the Sculpted Image of Wu De.

The five mortal Incense Servants, overwhelmed with joy, once again prostrated themselves before the image of Wu De, their devotion genuine.

The Auspicious Clouds left the Sculpted Image, returning to the Black Jade Plate. Having achieved his goal, Wu De no longer manifested himself and urged Xiao Mu to leave.

Xiao Mu said nothing more and left the temple with the Black Jade Plate.

Witnessing the authority displayed by Divine Monarch Wu De was truly an eye-opener for Xiao Mu; the authority of a True God was vastly different from that of Divine Spirits, not only much more powerful but also much more mysterious.
