Whoosh!

A sharp purple-gold light suddenly lit up, instantly illuminating the entire human world. On the ground and in mid-air, a giant purple-gold seal illusion appeared.

This purple-gold seal illusion was enormous, larger than the realm itself, emerging from this Earth and extending into another world, as if it covered the entire universe.

Heavenly Emperor!

Heavenly Emperor!

Heavenly Emperor!

The whole world, all living beings sang in chorus, the same message reaching the mind of every person, every being; no one had seen this seal before, yet everyone knew whom this seal represented.

All beings were bowing, every creature, including animals, plants, all things were bending towards this seal.

Heavenly Emperor!

As soon as this purple-gold seal emerged, the authority of the Heavenly Emperor was displayed in this world, though this seal was only a projection of power, not the actual seal itself.

Cover!

A purple-gold character flew out from the seal, extending like an arrow towards a colossal book, as if the seal had suddenly been stamped on the book's cover.

Whoosh!

The light of the giant book suddenly dimmed, and the Power of Destiny was withdrawn.

"Heavenly Emperor, haha! Indeed..."

A hoarse laughter came from the sky, filled with uncontrollable joy, and then, the Book of Destiny disappeared, and the giant hand vanished as well.

The illusion of the purple-gold seal suddenly dispersed, merging directly into the Earth.

And the power of this illusion sustained the invisible giant barrier outside the Earth, providing continuous power to the shield.

"What happened? The Heavenly Emperor? Is the Heavenly Emperor on Earth?"

The brief encounter left Xiao Mu dumbstruck.

The situation had changed too abruptly; the giant book and giant hand that had just appeared were undoubtedly Emperor Taija and the Creation Treasure, the Book of Destiny.

Emperor Taija could not wait any longer, wishing to use the Book of Destiny to forcibly break open the invisible giant shield outside this realm, to fully extend the Hand of Destiny into the human world.

The Seal Token of the Heavenly Emperor appeared, using the authority of the Heavenly Emperor to block the Book of Destiny, preventing Destiny from truly entering this realm.

"Fate, Life and Death, Reincarnation, Retribution, among these four authorities, Destiny ranks first. Luckily, the Power of Destiny did not truly extend into this realm, otherwise, who knows what this realm would have become?"

"What will Destiny do? What can it do? Control everyone's fate, arbitrarily control everyone's outcomes?"

"What if I were controlled by Destiny? Would I be unable to continue cultivation? Would I never have the chance to break through realms? Would there be regressions in my cultivation?"

Xiao Mu couldn't help but speculate, and each speculated outcome filled him with dread.

He had not truly made contact with the Power of Destiny, yet the strength of the Power of Destiny still made him shiver with cold.

Recalling when they encircled the Curse Ancestor, despite the Curse Ancestor's formidable strength, upon encountering the Destiny Talisman, he was still restricted by Destiny, unable to ride clouds and mist, and was forced to land. What more for himself now?

"Thank goodness, the Heavenly Emperor appeared, blocking Destiny from entering the human world!"

"But, wasn't it said that the Heavenly Emperor is in Heavenly Court? Wasn't it said that the Heavenly Emperor had died? Why then does the authority of the Heavenly Emperor still appear? Where exactly is the Heavenly Emperor?"

Xiao Mu became confused; he had heard too much about the Heavenly Emperor, everyone had their own version, and no one's version was necessarily accurate.

Crack! Boom!

The sound of thunderbolts erupted from the sky once again, the Power of Retribution still pushing, still targeting every person on Earth but fortunately, the Human Emperor's Seal's power scattered, limiting it within this realm, preventing Retribution from acting as it wished.

I need to enhance my strength, or else I can't deal with the Power of Retribution.

The human world still lacks divine administrators, unable to establish the Underworld in the human world to shelter Yin Souls, but even if there were divine administrators, the Yin Souls collected by the Infernal Hell would inevitably be forced onto the Reincarnation Path.

Reincarnation, Retribution, Destiny, Life and Death, the True God system, various authorities limit each other, no one is invincible, no one can control another's authority.

Now, for me, the only thing I can do is enhance my own strength, strengthen my authority.

The stronger the authority, the greater the changes I can make.

Just now, fortunately, it was me; my Land God authority is much stronger than that of a typical Land God. Had it been a typical Land God, they could probably only shelter the mother and child Yin Souls for one day, after which they would have to be sent to the City God Mansion.

But I, I can shelter them for three days.

"If I could become the Lord of the Mansion, with the powerful authority of the Lord and my own authority, perhaps I could make more changes."

Various thoughts flashed through Xiao Mu's mind, making him feel for the first time that in the current Human World, one must enhance their strength. Without enhancing strength, one could be struck by retribution at any time, face death, and enter the Path of Reincarnation.

And the Path of Reincarnation was not safe at all.

A mass of white Cloud Mist suddenly rose from the distant ground, with a familiar figure standing atop it.

It was Zhou Xuanmen!

Xiao Mu recognized the figure at a glance.

After ascending into the air, Zhou Xuanmen immediately flew towards the location of the God of Retribution, attempting to stop him from spreading the power of retribution among the Human world.

It seems that Senior Zhou could no longer sit idle, he wanted to battle the God of Retribution!

Xiao Mu watched, his heart pounding with excitement, although he could not provide any help.

He saw Zhou Xuanmen ascend and continuously fly westward towards the direction of the God of Retribution.

The figure became smaller and smaller until it disappeared from Xiao Mu's sight.

Boom! Crash!

The sounds of collision from the fight reached him. The distant mountains and Earth shook, and nearby curse powers were drawn away to lend strength.

The sounds of thunderbolts were incessant. The confrontation between Zhou Xuanmen and the God of Retribution was incredibly fierce.

This battle lasted for about half an hour, after which the curse powers and the powers of retribution went their separate ways. The God of Retribution fled into the distance, and Zhou Xuanmen returned to Twilight Forest Village.

However, even though Zhou Xuanmen had driven away the God of Retribution, he had not stopped the power of retribution from being disseminated in the Human world.

He belonged to the curse system, not the retribution system, and could not use his divine power to restrain retribution.

The Retribution Lamp was still visible everywhere, retribution occurring constantly, and anyone could face retribution at any time.

Even above Xiao Mu's head, from time to time, he could see the illusionary shadow of the Retribution Lamp.

The Retribution Lamp never left him alone, always trying to target him, intending to include him within the scope of retribution.

With Changeable Divine Technique at his disposal, Xiao Mu could only avoid retribution by constantly changing his appearance and using illusions to deceive the Retribution Lamp.

"Let's head back first, I wonder how the Zhao family and the Zhu family are doing?"

"With such a significant event, logically everyone should have already gone back, I'll head to the Zhao family's place first."

"Just wait for Li Jiesheng to send news from the Life and Death Sect and seize the Creation Treasure, then proceed as planned and find the relics left by the Lord of Bai's Mansion."

"Then decide whether to move away from the Zhao family."

Various thoughts flashed through Xiao Mu's mind, and soon, he had a goal and used the Earth Escape Technique to return to Zhao Jingyan's home.

Though the Zhao family's home exuded the aura of life, there were no lights, undoubtedly the power of Retribution had affected the Zhao family, including Zhu Ping and Li Gujian.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Xiao Mu intentionally used the Escape Technique to enter, allowing the sound of the technique to reach everyone in the Zhao household.

"Is it Brother Mu?"

"Brother Mu, is it really you back?"

"Brother Mu!"

The voices of Zhao Jingyan, Zhu Ping, and Li Gujian rang out, guessing immediately that it was Xiao Mu returning.

"Brother Zhao, sister-in-law, Brother Zhu, Xiao Li, is everyone safe and sound?" Xiao Mu, proficient in Taoist Law, had already sensed everyone's presence but still habitually asked.

"It really is Brother Mu!"

"Brother Mu, it's really you!"

The people in the room were both surprised and delighted, "We are all safe and sound, Brother Mu, please come in!"

Suddenly, lights came on in the room. Although the light had no meaning for Mutated Beings, Zhao Jingyan, Zhu Ping, Li Gujian, Tian Zhen one after another walked to the doorway.

The moment he saw the four of them, Xiao Mu noticed that above each person's head in the air, the vague illusion of a Retribution Lamp could be faintly seen.

The power of retribution had already descended upon each of them, beginning to interfere with every individual's future.
