This is the power of the Land God, capable of sheltering Yin Souls.

The young Yin Soul shot a grateful look, but Xiao Mu's mood was far from well.

The Land God's power could only provide temporary shelter for Yin Souls; with Xiao Mu's strength, he could shelter them for at most three days. After three days, the Yin Soul would have to enter the City God Mansion.

The constraints of the power made Xiao Mu feel a profound sense of helplessness; saving the young Yin Soul was beyond his capabilities.

Even the Mansion's Lord couldn't do it.

The Mansion's Lord governed the region known as Infernal Hell, which could determine the whereabouts of Yin Souls. In the end, however, these souls would sooner or later be sent into Reincarnation.

Thinking of the Reincarnation Path, Xiao Mu felt a chill run through him.

Paper Swords hung high above the Reincarnation Path; no Yin Souls could safely pass below.

The might of the beings behind the Paper Swords was terrifyingly formidable, cutting off Reincarnation and harvesting all Yin Souls into Power — not even the lingering regrets of Miaoyi Emperor could halt their actions.

"All these Yin Souls will eventually dissipate into nothingness, not even having the chance for Reincarnation."

Xiao Mu glanced at the young Yin Soul, who was nestled beside its mother, feeling the final warmth of the human world, occasionally sending grateful looks toward Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu sighed and turned to leave.

He had done his best!

Crack! Boom!

Thunderous roars, deafening sounds echoed endlessly in the sky, with the greyish-black octagonal palace lamp's Illusion hanging high above the void.

Whoosh!

A dazzling yellow light burst forth from the west, piercing the heavens, followed swiftly by a bright yellow Giant Seal emerging from the sky.

This dazzling yellow light radiated supreme imperial majesty.

Emperor's Power surged to the sky, and from within the bright yellow Giant Seal, a grand voice erupted as Governing the World's majestic light spilled from the high heavens, covering the Earth.

In that instant, Governing the World's grand light radiated by the Human Emperor's Seal enveloped all of the human world, instantly warming the entire world and banishing the cold and solitude.

Thank the Human Emperor!

Common folk and Mutated Beings on the ground unconsciously looked to the west, deeply thankful to the Governing Human Emperor.

The emergence of the Governing Human Emperor kept this land stable; the Retribution Lamp's authority was limited, unable to wreak havoc across this land, to harvest at will.

Yet, following closely behind, the illusory Retribution Lamp multiplied into thousands, tens of thousands, countless ones, descending onto this land.

To the extent that, in the end, this land was filled with illusory Retribution Lamps.

These illusory Retribution Lamps could be found everywhere, yet not everyone could see them, surveilling every person on Earth, ready to mete out Retribution to Humans at any moment.

Crack! Boom!

Somewhere, the brightness of an illusory Retribution Lamp suddenly intensified, someone suffered Retribution, struck by lightning, and died instantly.

Despite being a Heavenly God's power, the Human Emperor's Seal could not restrain the Retribution Lamp; it could only maintain fairness on Earth, ensuring those who executed Retribution did not act recklessly.

Nevertheless, Retribution could not be altered and continued unimpeded.

Woo-woo!

A mournful sound echoed from Heaven and Earth, as a greyish-white tome appeared at the zenith, with two sacred characters faintly visible on its cover.

No one recognized these characters, but everyone who saw these two characters knew they stood for 'Fate.'

With the appearance of the Book of Destiny, everyone's Fate was stirred.

The Book of Destiny descended from the heavens to control Fate within the human world, to wield the Power of Destiny.

The Human Emperor's Seal shuddered slightly, as if facing a formidable foe.

Among the four major gods of Heavenly Court, Fate ranked first; the power of the Book of Destiny was even greater than that of the Retribution Lamp.

The Book of Destiny descended to enter the human world.

Boom!

A purple-golden Qi shot into the sky, and at the zenith, an Invisible Cloak emerged, enveloping the Earth, finally revealing itself.

The Book of Destiny was blocked outside the cloak, unable to fall for the moment.

Suddenly, a large hand stretched out from nowhere, grabbing the Book of Destiny and smashing it against the Invisible Cloak.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The Book of Destiny and the Invisible Cloak collided, each impact causing Earth-shattering tremors as if Heaven and Earth would collapse at that moment.

Everyone swayed, struggling to stay upright, involuntarily sitting on the ground. Some frail individuals died instantly from the shockwave, their souls led away by the newly emerged Netherworld Passage into the outskirts of Netherworld.

"Ah~ Haha!"

Near Xiao Mu, a scream suddenly arose, starting in agony but swiftly turning into Detachment.

A woman who had been weeping over the body of her child was killed by the shockwave; her Yin Soul was drawn out by the new Netherworld Passage and pulled into the beyond.

"Mom! Mom! Save my mom, please, I beg you, save my mom!"

The boy's Yin Soul desperately clung to the woman's Yin Soul, trying to pull it back from the Netherworld Passage, full of panic.

This was the Hell he himself was supposed to enter, and now his mother was being taken as well.

"Alas!"

Xiao Mu sighed and used the power of the Land God on the woman.

The woman's trajectory into the Netherworld Passage was halted, and the passage vanished.

"Thank you!"

Mother and son thanked Xiao Mu in unison and then departed.

Xiao Mu watched their figures recede, his heart heavy with gloom; this mother and son could only stay in the human world for three more days. After that, they would still be drawn away by the Netherworld Passage, delivered to the City God Mansion.

At the moment, all Xiao Mu, as a Land God, could do was offer temporary shelter for Yin Souls.

He could use the authority of the City God, but that would be after the Land God's power was exhausted.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In the sky, the giant tome and the Invisible Cloak continued to collide, creating hundreds, thousands of impacts in mere moments.

The Invisible Cloak trembled incessantly, and the Power of Destiny flew wildly through the air.
