The room transformed, expanding endlessly into a vast universe filled with Heaven, Earth, the sun, and the moon, as well as the cosmic space.

Xiao Mu's divine likeness also underwent a transformation under Creation's remolding, changing from its original position on the altar table to sitting amidst the cosmos, with the sun, moon, and stars shimmering behind it.

"After all, it's an illusion created by the power of Creation; even though it's not real, it can certainly fool people, especially since Yu Jiasheng's strength is not considered formidable—it's impossible for him to see through my illusion."

With a swift turn of thought, Xiao Mu's divine sense shifted back to his divine likeness.

Yu Jiasheng's actions were indeed as Xiao Mu had guessed: he wanted to probe the situation. Zhu Ping's words made him uneasy, worried about Mu Huaqing's identity, and he decided to come investigate for himself.

Being a figure of the Early Divine Spirit Realm, it was not difficult for him to enter the Zhao Family silently. In fact, if Xiao Mu hadn't set up his divine likeness at the Zhao Family's residence, Yu Jiasheng could have explored unnoticed and left without anyone being the wiser.

As Yu Jiasheng approached the Zhao Family, he halted his Escape Light and instead used his movement technique to enter silently. Having obtained the meeting place from Zhu Ping, he directly rushed towards the Small Building where Xiao Mu's divine likeness was located.

His figure flickering, Yu Jiasheng prepared to enter through the window.

However, as he approached the window, it creaked open. Surprised, Yu Jiasheng was taken aback when a detached voice emanated from the room, commanding yet narrating, "Come in."

Yu Jiasheng suddenly froze. Have I been discovered? The person in the room is more powerful than I expected, having detected my presence before I even entered.

No, perhaps my presence was detected even before I approached the Zhao Family.

Yu Jiasheng fell into panic; his first instinct was to escape. However, as the leader of the Village Protection Team, he remained quite composed in the face of crisis.

Perhaps it was just a coincidence that my presence was known, deliberately speaking as I approached the window to create a mystique, to inflate his own importance in my mind.

A smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth; Yu Jiasheng calmed down considerably, convincing himself that he had been successful in composing himself. In a steady response, he said, "I've come uninvited, please don't blame me. I hear from Zhu Ping that you wanted to see me?"

With that, Zhu Ping steadily stepped into Xiao Mu's room through the window.

"Ah~"

Zhu Ping exclaimed in surprise; the sight within the room was completely beyond his expectations—it was not a mere room, but an entire universe.

This universe contained Heaven, Earth, the sun, and the moon, as well as cosmic stars.

At the center of that starry space, high above, an enormous divine likeness sat supreme, looking down upon him.

The divine likeness was so large that Yu Jiasheng felt profoundly aware of his own insignificance.

"You... you... fellow Daoist... esteemed deity... who are you?"

Yu Jiasheng stuttered, unable to form a complete sentence.

"Fellow Yu, please take a seat,"

Xiao Mu's divine likeness lifted its right hand towards the space behind Yu Jiasheng, and, harnessing the power of Creation, a chair materialized out of thin air behind him.

Creation!

Yu Jiasheng's eyes widened in shock.

Creation might sound implausible, but for Mutated Beings of the True Realm, it was not impossible; it was just that ordinary Mutated Beings of the True Realm were limited by their cultivation, and their ability to turn the ethereal into reality was limited, making creation rare.

However, once one steps into the True God Realm, one could start to attempt it.

But such creation was only temporary. The challenge lay in whether it could be maintained over a long period. The higher the realm, the stronger the force, the longer the True Force could sustain it.

This formidable figure was at least of the True God Realm and perhaps even stronger.

An intense sense of shock surged in Yu Jiasheng's heart, and he suddenly felt reverence for Xiao Mu's power.

Unconsciously, Yu Jiasheng did not go against Xiao Mu's will and sat down on the chair uneasily. After a while, he hesitantly inquired, "May I ask which mighty figure of the Human world are you?"

"My identity is a secret within the Alliance, not known to many. My surname is Mu; you may call me Brother Mu," Xiao Mu introduced himself calmly.

"I dare not!" Yu Jiasheng shifted uneasily in his seat, still shocked by the power Xiao Mu had displayed. How could he possibly consider himself equal to Xiao Mu?

"Please, don't be formal. I haven't been cultivating for long, and I'm not someone who places much emphasis on status. When dealing with Zhu Ping, Li Gujian, and Zhao Jingyan, we have always treated each other as equals. All three of them call me Brother Mu, so you can do the same, Leader Yu."

Yu Jiasheng was momentarily stunned again and opened his mouth.

The situation Xiao Mu described had, once again, taken him by surprise. How could such a powerful figure, possibly at the level of a True God Realm, regard himself as an equal to Zhao Zhuli?

What an honor it must be for the Zhao Zhuli trio!

Despite his astonishment, Xiao Mu's words put Yu Jiasheng at ease, and his caution began to fade.

Xiao Mu's attitude towards him was friendly, and with the strength Xiao Mu had shown, if he were an enemy, he wouldn't need to be so amiable towards Yu Jiasheng.

Only one of their own would act that way.

"May I know the reason Brother Mu has summoned me? Is there something you wish to instruct me to do?"

Yu Jiasheng's tone had suddenly become much more polite, and his wariness towards Xiao Mu was slowly melting away.

"Actually, it's nothing much," Xiao Mu said nonchalantly. "I am here on the Alliance's orders, secretly arriving at Twilight Forest Village to investigate the activities of otherworldly Variant Beings for the human world. However, due to a lack of information, I need Leader Yu's help."

"Just an issue of information?" Yu Jiasheng's body shook slightly in the chair as he was once again surprised by Xiao Mu's statement.

"Just an issue with information," Xiao Mu replied with a smile. "I hope Leader Yu can provide me with some intelligence, and in return, I will offer certain resources and treasures as compensation."

Resources? Treasures?

Yu Jiasheng's eyelids fluttered rapidly; clearly, the proposition tempted him. Despite Twilight Forest Village being backed by the Song Relics, the resources it could gain from there were limited, for the relics themselves already had insufficient resources for their own use.

Strictly speaking, Twilight Forest Village did not belong to the Song Relics. At most, it could be considered a semi-subordinate and semi-collaborative force, with a status similar to that of the Great Tang Ruins.

However, due to its unique geographical location, Twilight Forest Village had slightly more resources than the Great Tang Ruins, thus its independence was stronger, and its reliance on the Great Tang Ruins was weaker.

Unconsciously straightening his posture, Yu Jiasheng asked, "May I inquire what types of resources and treasures Brother Mu is referring to? Additionally, what information do you need from me?"

With a controlled Divine Sense and a demeanor that remained indifferent yet gentle, Xiao Mu responded, "There are many resources I can provide, almost anything you desire."

"For example, Divine Spirit Tablet positions, Divine Treasures, Divine Weapons, or authority in cultivation methods."

Divine Weapons? Divine Treasures? Divine Spirit Tablet positions?

Yu Jiasheng's right hand trembled suddenly. As a high-ranking member of Twilight Forest Village, he knew full well the difficulty in obtaining the treasures Xiao Mu mentioned.

As the leader of the Village Protection Team and in the early stages of the Divine Spirit Realm, he had only recently obtained his position, after a lengthy application process from the Great Tang Ruins.

And now, this person—no, this god—was telling him that he could provide Divine Spirit Tablet positions, which indicated just how shocking this information was to Yu Jiasheng.

"Is what Brother Mu says true?" Yu Jiasheng asked with a trembling voice, but as soon as he spoke, seeing the new world unfold before him in the room, he suddenly felt his question was superfluous.

A True God Realm powerhouse capable of manifesting a world within a room, claiming to offer Divine Weapons, Divine Treasures, and Divine Spirit Tablet positions—there really wasn't anything surprising about that, was there?

He hurriedly corrected himself and continued to press for answers, "May I ask, Brother Mu, what kind of information do you need from me?"

Thank goodness!

Yu Jiasheng's reaction was all within Xiao Mu's expectations, and the words he spoke also allowed Xiao Mu to breathe a sigh of relief.

He had finally managed to impress the village chief of Twilight Forest Village, making the upcoming negotiation much easier.
