"It's mine now."

Xiao Mu stretched out a hand and took the Divine Spirit from Xiao Mu's hands, eagerly wrapping it in Divine Sense to begin the fusion.

The Netherlord Order gradually pulled into his body, merging into his form. He was already at the middle stage of the Divine Spirit realm and was about to step into the later stage. The process of fusing the Netherlord Order was not difficult, and he soon completely integrated it.

"Haha!"

Having fused the Netherlord Order, Xu Qianwu laughed arrogantly, unrestrainedly releasing the Netherlord's presence right in Xiao Mu's temple.

Above his head appeared a ghastly black Netherlord's presence, wrapped by the force of reincarnation, as the authority of reincarnation transformed into a cascade of Brilliance and spread out in a circular fashion.

Taking the opportunity, Xiao Mu released the authority of the spirit tablet, using its Golden Light to protect his own altar table, to avoid being struck by Xu Qianwu's Netherlord authority.

At the same time, he opened his Spiritual Eye to examine Xu Qianwu's situation – on Xu Qianwu, Destiny Points began to shine. With the inclusion of the Netherlord authority, each Destiny Point became slightly bigger and brighter than before.

The biggest change was in the authority of reincarnation – among all Destiny Points, the one associated with reincarnation was the largest. A copious amount of Light of Reincarnation flowed forth from the Mysterious Ancient Well, with a faint Reincarnation Seal hovering over the Destiny Point.

However, the Reincarnation Seal that reflected from Xiao Mu's body was somewhat different. The Reincarnation Seal that emerged from Xu Qianwu's body was, to a certain extent, seemingly under his own control.

This situation made Xiao Mu surprised and curious.

It seemed that every system's Divine Spirit could obtain and control part of its own system's power, albeit to varying degrees depending on the size of their authority.

Furthermore, Xiao Mu specifically compared Xu Qianwu's situation with that of the young Netherlord and realized there was a significant difference between the two.

Within the young Netherlord's Destiny Point of reincarnation, the River of the Netherworld was reflected, but not so in Xu Qianwu's case.

Could it be that the River of the Netherworld was a special Divine Power cultivated by the young lord while Xu Qianwu had not cultivated the corresponding Divine Power of the reincarnation authority, hence it was not displayed?

Wondering whether the Headquarters had any such Divine Powers available for cultivation, he hoped they did.

Xiao Mu began to worry about the future of the Human World, ultimately placing his hopes in the Alliance Headquarters.

After that, he examined the Destiny Points on Xu Qianwu again and finally, Xiao Mu noticed that apart from being associated with these Destiny Points, Xu Qianwu's Netherlord form extended another line that was strikingly similar to the visible, untouchable lines of the Destiny Points – only revealed due to the ability of True Force to manifest the ethereal into reality.

Other than connecting to the Netherlord form above Xu Qianwu's head, the ethereal line also connected to the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor within Xiao Mu's body.

At that moment, a vast surge of Netherlord authority flowed from Xu Qianwu's body, being absorbed by Xiao Mu's Seal of the Heavenly Emperor through their ethereal connection.

The Seal of the Heavenly Emperor suddenly absorbed an overwhelming amount of Netherlord authority, churning within the seal as if boiling.

With Xu Qianwu providing authority for me, my Emperor's Seal was about to transform.

The transformation of the Emperor's Seal delighted Xiao Mu, and he could hardly wait to leave and guide its transformation.

Nonetheless, after glancing at Xu Qianwu, Xiao Mu immediately suppressed such thoughts, continuing to observe Xu Qianwu.

Xu Qianwu's authority had increased significantly; unfortunately, the Netherlord Spirit Tablet was merely an empty shell, possessing no corresponding Divine Treasures, or else its power would undoubtedly be even greater.

This reminded Xiao Mu of the Black Wind Spirit Commander Crown he received from the young Netherlord. The King's Authority Sealing Technique could transform not only the Spirit Tablet but also Divine Treasures.

If he transformed the Black Wind Spirit Commander Crown and gifted it to Xu Qianwu, it would surely enhance both Xu Qianwu's and his own authority.

However, with time being short, Xiao Mu had only just transformed the Netherlord Order when Xu Qianwu came looking for it, with no time yet to transform the Black Wind Spirit Commander Crown.

When I get a chance, I'll transform the Black Wind Spirit Commander Crown and find an opportunity to gift it to Grand Elder Xu.

Considering Xu Qianwu's eagerness to obtain the Netherlord Order, Xiao Mu thought that he wouldn't even need to offer it actively – just a hint would make Xu Qianwu seek it impatiently.

For now, there was no rush; better to wait until after the transformation was complete.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Escape Light flared, and closely following, several figures appeared in front of the temple and, in the next moment, dashed inside.

"Xiao Xiao, Old Xu Qian Wu, ah, Old Xu, you... you've already merged with the Netherlord Order?"

"Old Xu, you... you've actually merged with the Netherlord Order so quickly?"

Several figures rushed into the temple, not even having time to greet one another, and were already stunned upon seeing Xu Qianwu's condition.

Xiao Mu took a look at the newcomers, realizing they were all acquaintances, including Fang Ying, Qin Wu, Wang Yu, and Chen Fushi.

He quickly guessed why these familiar faces rushed to his temple, and while inwardly laughing at Xu Qianwu's inability to keep a secret, he greeted everyone with a smile, "Grand Elders, please enjoy your chat."

As he spoke, Xiao Mu's Divine Sense receded from the Divine Spirit.

"Old Xu, that's really unsporting of you, isn't it? You merged with the Netherlord Order without waiting for us to arrive?"

"Old Xu, where's the integrity? The humanity? Where did your radiant humanity go? Couldn't you have waited for us to arrive before merging with the Netherlord office?"

The Grand Elders surrounded Xu Qianwu with complaints, several people scolding him at once.

"Haha? Integrity? Who among you has a better relationship with me and Xiao Xiao? Do you think you have the strength to compete with me for the Netherlord office? Watch as my office suppresses!"

With a thunderous roar, the force of Reincarnation spread out in a ring from the Netherlord's visage above Xu Qianwu's head, immediately pinning all the Grand Elders to the ground.

"Old Xu, you old coot, how dare you suppress me, I'll fight you to the death."

"Beat this bastard to death!"

Qin Wu and Chen Fushi furiously pointed at Xu Qianwu, cursing out loud, the group joined forces, and they soon shook off the suppression of the newly merged but not yet fully mastered Netherlord office, all activating their own offices, preparing to counter-suppress Xu Qianwu.

"Gentlemen, have you not considered whether Xiao Mu has just one Netherlord office in his hand?"

Xu Qianwu's eyes darted around, and the sudden outburst made everyone immediately stop their attacks. Fang Ying halted her damaged Judge Pen, Qin Wu moved away the Mountain God visage, and Wang Yu's Kitchen God visage quickly flew off.

Then, all at once, they rushed toward Xiao Mu's Divine Spirit.

Hehe!

Xu Qianwu sneakily laughed as he escaped the temple, ridiculing them internally as a bunch of brainless idiots. The Netherlord visage was such a high-level treasure, even Xiao Mu couldn't possibly have a second piece, so easy to deceive.

※※※

Xiao Mu, who had just withdrawn his Divine Sense, suddenly felt a strong vibration stirring it, and even he himself was startled by the result.

Damn, what happened? What did Elder Xu and the other Grand Elders say?

Forget it, it doesn't concern me, I don't have any Divine Spirit offices left, it's useless to come to me.

Transmitting his thoughts with Divine Sense, Xiao Mu instantly severed the connection between himself and the Divine Spirit to avoid being disturbed by Fang Ying and the other Grand Elders.

After completing these actions, Xiao Mu began to examine the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor.

The authority granted by Xu Qianwu's Netherlord office seemed to have fully transferred over, all squeezed into the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor, with no more extra authority flowing in.

He fed a strand of Divine Sense into the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor, guiding the Netherlord's Divine Power within. A massive amount of Netherlord's Divine Power started to spread onto the body of the Emperor's Seal.

The power of the Netherlord's office was much stronger than that of the door god, and with the integration of the Netherlord's Divine Power, one by one, white dots lit up inside the Emperor's Seal—thirteen in total, and together with the one produced by the merging of the door god's Divine Power, that made fourteen.

The fourteen white dots were distributed all over the Emperor's Seal, suggesting a three-dimensional figure, although because of the scarcity of white dots, the image was not clear, so Xiao Mu could not for the moment discern what object it depicted.

It seemed like a person, and yet not like one, but his strength had increased substantially. Moreover, it appeared that there were connections between these dots, and these connections between points further enhanced the might of the Emperor's Seal.
