Xiao Mu didn't pay attention to the opponent; to him, it was just the opponent's final unwilling taunt.
He pointed a finger toward the Land God's counterpart, who then directly plummeted, as if a mountain pressed down upon the youth, with a thunderous roar that ultimately left a pool of blood on the ground.
Power +8.
A shadow flew out from the blood—that was the youth's Yin Spirit. Xiao Mu reached out to grab it, using Divine Sense to communicate.
A moment later, Xiao Mu opened his eyes.
"The purpose of entering the human world is to help the Undying Divine Sovereign's rebirth, an outcome which is not beyond my expectations."
"Besides that, they were also planning to search for the remains left by the Lord of Bai's Mansion."
The information left in the Reincarnation System youth's Yin Spirit wasn't much. Much of the specific information was obscured by the power of the Reincarnation Seal, making it untraceable for Xiao Mu.
However, the two pieces of important information he did discern satisfied Xiao Mu.
The first piece of information indicated that the Undying Divine Sovereign was indeed planning to reincarnate in Twilight Forest Village and had not yet been reborn.
The second revealed that something left by the Lord of Bai's Mansion was indeed hidden within the village—something of great significance, so much so that even the Divine Spirits of the Heavenly Court sought to possess it.
"Unfortunately, the information is still incomplete. The suppression of the Reincarnation authority isn't weak, either, hindering my exploration."
Xiao Mu began to ponder. Just now, although he had preemptively stripped the youth of his authority, during the exploration of the youth's Yin Spirit, he still felt the Reincarnation Seal's power obstructing him.
He had indeed stripped the youth of the Netherlord's authority, but the Destiny Points the foe had cultivated still existed, immutable and unobscured—even with the Creation Power, he was unable to do anything about them.
"The consumption of the Creation Axe is a bit high."
Then, Xiao Mu checked the Creation Axe, only to find that the recent battle had significantly depleted it, causing the Axe to become somewhat faint.
The power of Creation was virtually omnipotent, but it still had its limits, especially during battle when it was consumed the most.
"It seems that it's best to avoid using the Creation Axe for battle when possible."
"The battle with the youth, the greatest consumption was from stripping the Netherlord's authority; lifting him from the River of Netherworld and stripping the Black Wind's Spirit Commander Crown consumed relatively less."
"The consumption of Creation also relates to the difficulty of accomplishing a task."
Xiao Mu summed up his experiences, contemplating on the different situations where the Creation Axe's power consumption varied.
"Since the energy on the Creation Axe cannot be replenished, it seems better to avoid using it if possible. Particularly in battle: when facing enemies of the same rank or of lesser strength, it's best not to rely on the Creation Axe."
The battle with the Creation Axe gave Xiao Mu a taste of its power; it was effortless for him to kill an enemy of nearly equal strength and even strip away the opponent's Divine Treasure.
Yet, despite this, the consumption it caused made Xiao Mu decide to use it sparingly.
Stowing away the Creation Axe, Xiao Mu took in the scene, first looking toward the Land God Temple.
This was just an ordinary Land God Temple, without any special divine might, thus Xiao Mu was able to understand most of the situation within the temple with almost a single thought.
There was not much inside the temple aside from a damaged divine likeness and a damaged book.
Geography Chronicles? A record of events from this location?
Discovering the damaged ancient book, Xiao Mu suddenly became delighted.
Geography Chronicles were not considered treasures; every Land God had one, meant to record the various events of their locale.
These events were related to ordinary people and their lives.
Ordinary people's lives meant little to Xiao Mu; however, they could help understand the context of the era, which could further help deduce what significant events occurred at the time.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The sound of an Escape Art suddenly resounded as Zhu Ping returned.
"Brother Mu, the... the battle has ended?" Zhu Ping seemed surprised upon observing the scene; the bloodstain on the ground doubtlessly belonged to the Reincarnation System youth.
"Bring me the book from the Land God Temple."
Xiao Mu instructed Zhu Ping, not directly entering the temple to retrieve the Geography Chronicles himself. Following that, the white light of Creation faded, and he vanished from the spot.
"Yes, ah, at once, Brother Mu!"
Zhu Ping only paused for a moment, and Xiao Mu had already disappeared from his sight.
※※※
An unexpected event occurred in Xiao Mu's Geography Chronicles, his hair was present there, allowing him to support Zhu Ping at any moment.
After returning, he began pondering the gains and losses from the recent battle with the young man of the Reincarnation System.
Because he had borrowed the Creation Axe, the battle had brought Xiao Mu not too much experience.
Nevertheless, long-standing habits compelled him to consider what he had gained from the battle.
The abilities demonstrated by the young man made Xiao Mu even more profoundly aware of the special abilities of the Netherlord of the Reincarnation System.
If not for his timely arrival and rescue of Zhu Ping, Zhu Ping would certainly not have survived. Due to the particular nature of the reincarnation force, Zhu Ping could very likely have been dragged into the cycle of reincarnation by the young man, and might not have been able to investigate Zhu Ping's death afterwards.
The abilities of the Netherlord were as unique as those of the door god; by utilizing the reincarnation force and engaging the River of Netherworld, the Netherlord's power was even stronger than the door god's.
Destiny Point, all powers are related to the Destiny Points.
Unfortunately, using the Creation Axe made resolving the battle too easy, so much so that he hadn't been able to uncover the special might of the Reincarnation Destiny Points.
Reflecting on the fight, Xiao Mu suddenly realized the uniqueness of the Reincarnation Destiny Points. According to the young man's performance, he would clearly demonstrate exceptional capabilities when fighting desperately; however, because the Creation Power was too overwhelming, the opponent ultimately had no chance to exhibit his skills.
"It seems that relying too much on external objects is not a good thing; at least, it is not beneficial for the accumulation of experience and the enhancement of one's own strength. In the future, I must use the Creation Axe sparingly and focus on fighting with my own strength."
Xiao Mu stopped pondering and, after a moment of thought, began to contact Xu Qianwu.
He used his cellphone to send a message to Xu Qianwu.
Before long, Xiao Mu sensed a response, his Divine Sense connecting with his Divine Likeness far away.
The next second, his Divine Sense attached to the Divine Likeness, and he looked at Xu Qianwu, who was standing in front of the Divine Likeness.
"Xiao Xiao, to contact me suddenly, don't tell me it's for nothing important," Xu Qianwu's way of speaking was, as always, no-nonsense and straight to the point.
This manner of conversation was Xiao Mu's favorite, so he smiled and said, "Would I dare to bother Elder Xu for no reason?"
The Divine Likeness's right hand lifted, and amidst swirling blue smoke, something flew directly from Xiao Mu's Divine Likeness.
It was the corpse of the young man, slain by Xiao Mu using the City God Likeness, now completely turned into a lump of rotten flesh.
"This is…"
Xu Qianwu stared at the rotten flesh and slightly raised his right hand. The power of the Five Elements emerged from his hand, gradually restoring the lump of flesh to its original form. Before long, the body of the young man appeared in front of Xu Qianwu.
"It's him, Xiao Xiao, you encountered him and killed him?"
Xiao Mu smiled and said, "Is Elder Xu satisfied?"
Xu Qianwu suddenly exclaimed, "You move fast, kid. How long has it been since I told you, and you've already killed the guy?"
"Haha, as long as Elder Xu is pleased," Xiao Mu laughed heartily, his Divine Sense quickly leaving the Divine Likeness and returning to his own body.
"This Xiao Xiao!"
Realizing Xiao Mu's Divine Likeness had lost its Spirituality, Xu Qianwu couldn't help but grumble. He still highly appreciated Xiao Mu's way of doing things—it was very much to his liking.
Having said that, Xu Qianwu suddenly grabbed the corpse and escaped towards the outside of the temple.
Bang!
In a room conjured from True Force, Xu Qianwu threw the corpse to the ground.
"Is that the young Netherlord? Qian Wu, you found him? No, how did you kill him?"
Across from Xu Qianwu, in the room, was a man in his early forties, dressed in a blue Confucian shirt, his demeanor both refined and elegant.
This person was Zhu Fuchen, renowned alongside Yan Qingxu at the Alliance Headquarters and sent to oversee the affairs of Twilight Forest Village.
An aura of the True God Realm was intermittently present around Zhu Fuchen, mixed with the Aura of Netherworld, the Power of Reincarnation emanating from his body. Floating above his head was a River of Rebirth.
Yet, this Rebirth River seemed to have a suppressing effect on him, restraining Zhu Fuchen's authority and strength to some extent, such that his own Reincarnation Destiny Points appeared somewhat dimmer than those of the young Netherlord slain by Xiao Mu.
