"Brother Xiao, the Life and Death Emperor has always wanted to cooperate with the human world but struggled to find the right opportunity due to the lack of a mediator."

"As for the harm that the Undying Evil Ancestor previously inflicted on the human world, the Emperor has asked me to express his apologies on his behalf. The acts were solely committed by the Undying Evil Ancestor, and the Emperor had no knowledge of them."

"This is not about shirking responsibility. After all, the Undying Evil Ancestor was a subordinate of the Emperor. If there is an opportunity, the Emperor is willing to offer compensation to the victims and hopes this matter will not affect the potential cooperation between us."

The words of Li Jiesheng brought some comfort to Xiao Mu's heart, and he asked further, "Why does the Life and Death Emperor want to cooperate with us humans?"

Li Jiesheng sighed, "It seems, Brother Xiao, that you are not aware of the situation in the Heavenly Court. Among the four great Emperors in the court, Emperor Taijia is the strongest. Now that the Heavenly Emperor is not managing affairs, Taijia has taken control of the court's reign."

"Emperor Taijia, this man has great ambition. After seizing power, he has been looking to collect the authority of the four great Emperors. It is said that he intends to replace the Heavenly Emperor and that amassing all four authorities would enable him to challenge the Heavenly Emperor."

"The whereabouts of Emperor Miaoyi and Emperor Zhenbing are unknown. It is rumored that their authority might already have been seized by Emperor Taijia."

I know where Emperor Miaoyi is, but I have no idea about Emperor Zhenbing.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mu urged, "Are you trying to tell me that Emperor Taijia might already possess three types of Heavenly God authority?"

"Yes."

Sudden concern flashed across Li Jiesheng's face, "Fate, Reincarnation, Retribution, the three authorities, are very likely already in the hands of Emperor Taijia."

"Only the Life and Death Emperor, having fled the Heavenly Court amidst the chaos at the onset, was fortunate enough to escape disaster."

"However, Emperor Taijia has been relentlessly searching for the whereabouts of the Life and Death Emperor, attempting to seize the Authority of Life and Death from him."

"The Emperor's authority was never complete to begin with. Now that Taijia has unified three authorities, he is even less of a match for Emperor Taijia."

"That's why the Emperor wishes to cooperate with the human world, to jointly oppose Emperor Taijia."

"And Brother Xiao, as a genius of the human world, your reputation soars highly."

"Even the Emperor, from the distant heavens, can sense your immense potential. Thus, he has sent me to make contact and negotiate the matter of cooperation."

The Life and Death Emperor can sense my potential from afar in the heavens?

The information inadvertently revealed by Li Jiesheng sent a shiver down Xiao Mu's spine.

If the Life and Death Emperor could sense his potential from the heavens, then wouldn't Emperor Taijia, who is even more powerful, be able to do the same?

I'm in danger!

"How does the Life and Death Emperor plan to cooperate?"

The looming threat made Xiao Mu anxious, prompting him to inquire about the details of the cooperation.

Li Jiesheng offered a faint smile, then suggested, "I know that establishing significant cooperation might not put Brother Xiao at ease right away, so I propose that we start with something small. To my knowledge, you are seeking the whereabouts of the Life and Death Sect, trying to track their movements?"

You already know, so why are you asking me?

Xiao Mu nodded but did not respond.

Li Jiesheng, with his hands clasped behind his back, leisurely said, "Does Brother Xiao know what the Life and Death Sect is doing?"

Why play coy? Can't you speak plainly?

An impatient expression surfaced on Xiao Mu's face.

Sensing Xiao Mu's impatience, Li Jiesheng quickly laughed and said, "Brother Xiao, according to what I know, the recent activities of the Life and Death Sect in Twilight Forest Village are related to a Supreme Power."

I knew this already; there's no need for you to tell me.

Xiao Mu was already aware that the movements of the Life and Death Sect were connected to some Supreme Power, yet what he did not know was the nature of this power.

"Do you know what this Supreme Power is?" Li Jiesheng asked Xiao Mu, unhurriedly.

Keep talking like that, and see if I don't slap you.

Xiao Mu's gaze slid over to Li Jiesheng, finally revealing a hint of malice.

"Haha!" Li Jiesheng laughed, knowing that if he continued to speak in this manner, Xiao Mu might really turn against him, and quickly said, "I specifically investigated and found out it's the Creation Power. The Heavenly Court and the Life and Death Sect are working together, searching for the Creation Power in Twilight Forest Village!"

"Creation Power, Creation Heavenly King!"

Xiao Mu blurted out unconsciously.

"So Brother Xiao also knows about the Creation Heavenly King!" Li Jiesheng was not surprised that Xiao Mu knew of the Creation Heavenly King, "Twilight Forest Village was once an Ancient Battlefield. Both Lord of Bai's Mansion and Creation Heavenly King have appeared here, leaving their traces. What the Life and Death Sect and Heavenly Court are searching for is actually a treasure formed by the condensation of Creation Power, which can be called the Creation Treasure."

"What is the might of the Creation Treasure?" Xiao Mu had never heard of the Creation Treasure before and couldn't help being curious about its power.

"The Creation Treasure is the most exquisite application of the Creation Power."

Li Jiesheng began to introduce the Creation Treasure to Xiao Mu, "The Creation Treasure seizes the Creation of Heaven and Earth, possessing all sorts of abilities beyond imagination."

"For instance, the Creation Heavenly King once formed a close bond with Lord of Bai's Mansion and borrowed his Creation Power. Lord of Bai's Mansion used it to craft the Chain of Creation, which locked away all the Divine Powers of the Five Elements Ancestor and captured him. Then, using the Chain of Creation, he locked away the Five Elements Ancestor's chances to escape, restore his strength, and communicate with the outside world, ensuring that the Five Elements Ancestor could neither escape nor regain his strength, nor contact the outside."

The Chain of Creation!

Xiao Mu's mind raced; he was aware of the Chain of Creation but had never imagined that it could also be used in this way. It could not only lock away Divine Powers but also opportunities and various elusive possibilities.

Li Jiesheng continued, "But this is only one application of the Creation Power. In fact, the Creation Power can not only lock away Divine Powers, it can also sever Fate, alter aptitude, remove Tribulation Number, and even turn the false into true, and the true into false — switching between reality and illusion. It is the most wonderful and mystical force in this world. In short, there's nothing you can think of that Creation cannot achieve."

There's nothing you can think of that Creation cannot achieve?

Li Jiesheng's description of the Creation Power greatly tempted Xiao Mu, who inquired, "Brother Li, do you know what the Creation Treasure the Life and Death Sect is searching for looks like?"

"Not at the moment."

Li Jiesheng shook his head lightly but then quickly added, "However, I can help Brother Xiao investigate."

"Brother Xiao, how about we cooperate on this matter of Creation? I will find the whereabouts of the Life and Death Sect and the Creation Treasure for Brother Xiao, and in return, Brother Xiao only needs to agree to one small request of mine."

"State your request first." Li Jiesheng's proposal intrigued Xiao Mu, but he did not immediately agree.

"My request is quite simple: if Brother Xiao should obtain the Creation Treasure, please grant me one opportunity to use it."

Li Jiesheng's expression became solemn as he made the request, seeming very sincere.

"One opportunity? I want to know how many times the Creation Treasure can be used?" Xiao Mu was very cautious, worried that the use of the Creation Treasure might be limited and did not immediately agree.

"At least three times, perhaps even five. I can make an additional promise to Brother Xiao that if the Creation Treasure can be used less than three times, there's no need for Brother Xiao to share an opportunity with me."

"If it's more than or equal to three times, then Brother Xiao will share one opportunity with me, how about it?"

Xiao Mu pondered. Li Jiesheng's request did not seem excessive at all. Asking for just one of three opportunities in exchange for providing information.

This method of cooperation seemed to Xiao Mu to be a fair deal.

He thought for a moment, "How do you plan to find the whereabouts of the Life and Death Sect and the Creation Treasure?"

"That's something I need to consider," Li Jiesheng said. "In any case, as long as Brother Xiao agrees to my request for cooperation, I will use all my strength to find the whereabouts of the Life and Death Sect and the Creation Treasure for Brother Xiao. In three days, maybe even two, I will deliver the information to Brother Xiao."

Three days? Two days?

Finally, Xiao Mu was moved. He had been searching for the whereabouts of the Life and Death Sect in Twilight Forest Village for a long time without any precise information. If Li Jiesheng could help him find the information in two or three days, he could quickly eliminate the Mutated Beings of the Life and Death Sect and obtain the Creation Treasure.

"Alright, I agree. How should I contact you?"

"Brother Xiao, that's quick!"

Li Jiesheng was overjoyed, "Please leave a contact detail for Brother Xiao, an email or a Chat Software phone number will do. Once I have exact news, I will immediately notify Brother Xiao."
