Huang Yuan probably pondered for about four or five minutes. In fact, Xiao Mu suspected that during this time, Huang Yuan's true self might be consulting with others.

After four or five minutes, Huang Yuan's divine form reopened his eyes. "Xiao kid, I want to know, for exploring the shattered space and the ancient temple, what can we gain?"

"All treasures from the True God Realm and above are yours, and what about us? Why do I feel like we end up gaining nothing?"

I thought you wouldn't realize it, but it turns out you did. No, with your intellect, you might not have thought of this. It's very likely you've consulted with others.

Xiao Mu raised an eyebrow, silently criticizing Huang Yuan in his heart, but his face remained impassive,"Senior, that's not correct to say. Exploring the shattered space and the ancient temple is a cooperative effort."

"As for what the seniors have gained? In the process of exploration, whenever seniors encounter situations where their strength is insufficient, I will provide resources to enhance your strength."

"After such exploration, surely the seniors' strength will have been enhanced, right? Moreover, treasures below the Divine Spirit Level, I won't take any; they all belong to the seniors. How can you say you've gained nothing?"

"Of course, whether or not to cooperate is up to the senior, not me."

"I provide resources and also assume the risks. Who knows what's inside the ancient temple? If there is nothing, wouldn't my investment be wasted?"

"Let me think again, something still feels off," Huang Yuan said, showing a puzzled expression, as his divine form closed his eyes once more, sinking into silence.

Your thoughts are precise; I intend to make you work for free. But you can't blame me; it's very difficult for beings beyond the True God Realm in the Human world to enhance their strength, yet I can assist you.

Xiao Mu couldn't help but want to laugh inside, yet his face remained utterly expressionless.

Deceiving Huang Yuan to work for free, he felt no remorse in his heart. Exploring ancient temples wasn't just his responsibility; it was a responsibility of the entire Human world. By seizing this opportunity to help Huang Yuan and others enhance their strengths, Xiao Mu felt he was also fulfilling a duty to the Human world.

After a long while, Huang Yuan's divine form reopened his eyes, divine light seeping from his eyes. The aura of a being from the True God Realm filled the entire temple space in an instant.

Huang Yuan's divine form stared at Xiao Mu for a long time, making Xiao Mu feel uneasy, before saying, "I discussed with my friends, and they have decided to agree to your proposal."

"Senior is wise!"

Xiao Mu complimented with a smile.

"Xiao kid, don't think I don't know what you're up to. If it weren't for my friends and I lacking resources, we wouldn't have agreed to your proposal."

Huang Yuan's divine form glared at Xiao Mu, his tone full of resentment. Clearly, after discussing with his friends, he had also figured it out.

However, despite being dissatisfied, Huang Yuan finally agreed to Xiao Mu's proposal.

The scarcity of various resources in the Human world, especially for beings in the True God Realm, was severe, even lacking complete secret manuals.

This also led to many beings in the True God Realm of the Human world who, despite having moved up in Realm, had low strength and couldn't compete with Divine Spirits from the Heavenly Court.

"That's because you seniors are wise," Xiao Mu once again smiled and complimented Huang Yuan.

Huang Yuan snorted coldly, his expression unpleasant as he glared fiercely at Xiao Mu with a threatening tone, "Don't forget what you've said. If you withhold our resources and cut off help at a critical moment, causing any of my friends to perish in the shattered space, I will definitely not let it go."

After finishing, Huang Yuan's divine sense directly disappeared from his divine form, which returned to calm, immediately reverting to its ordinary immobile state.

"Ancient temple, shattered space, True Five Elements Qi."

Xiao Mu murmured to himself, suddenly asking Wu De, "Senior Wu De, do you have any memory of these?"

The voice of Divine Monarch Wu De transmitted from the black jade plate, "This monarch has no memory of them, as I was sealed by Bai Jing before the Ancient Great War even started."

"However, traces of the True Five Elements Qi could only have been left by that old fellow from the Five Elements, no one else could have."

Xiao Mu nodded. Although Divine Monarch Wu De hadn't provided him with crucial clues, connecting the True Five Elements Qi to the ancestor of the Five Elements, he couldn't help but think of something in an instant.

Right now, Lv Liangping, the major leader of the Three Emperors' Tomb, was arranging manpower to explore the ruins left by the Five Elements Sect, while Headquarters had discovered True Five Elements Qi related to the ancestor of the Five Elements.

Could these two be related?

If so, where did the connection lie?

Full of doubts, Xiao Mu decided to inquire about this with Lv Liangping during their next communication.

But as he walked out of Huang Yuan's temple, Xiao Mu had a new idea.

Stopping at the temple's entrance, he rang the bell on the door frame.

More than twenty minutes later, the Incense Servants of District Thirteen arrived, all five being male mortals ranging from their twenties to fifty years old.

"Greetings to the immortal!"

"Hello, immortal!"

...

The five mortal Incense Servants greeted Xiao Mu with great respect.

"I have a task for you; please attend to it promptly," Xiao Mu's calm gaze swept over the faces of the five mortals.

The five mortal Incense Servants bowed their heads humbly, not daring to look directly at Xiao Mu. The eldest among them responded, "Please command us, immortal."
