Xiao Mu was surprised to find himself suddenly possessed in an unclaimed divine statue that had lost its Spirituality.

Under the protection of Creation Power, Xiao Mu was not worried about being discovered, so he slightly extended his Divine Sense to observe the environment around him.

The next moment, Xiao Mu saw himself inside a Great Temple, a collective type of temple, facing a male and a female divine statue opposite him.

The male divine statue was handsome but slender, emanating an aura of Retribution and accompanied by rain clouds, representing the office of the Dragon Lord.

The female divine statue was tall and robust, with extremely developed limbs, surrounded by the aura of Netherworld and Reincarnation, creating a sinister atmosphere around the statue, representing a Ferryman equivalent to the Netherlord in the Reincarnation system.

"Could it be that I encountered a divine statue currently being offered sacrifices? Is this a divine statue from beyond the heavens? Did I use Creation Power to reach a temple that communicates messages from beyond?"

The scene detected by the Divine Sense caused Xiao Mu to experience emotional fluctuations, but he quickly suppressed them and decided to explore what messages the divine statues from beyond would transmit.

However, the result disappointed him; Xiao Mu waited for a long time, but the divine statues did not transmit any information.

"Divine statues are not built together for no reason; these two must be intended to transmit information, otherwise Li Jing wouldn't have heard their whispers."

"Strange, Li Jing is just an ordinary person, why could she hear the voices of Divine Spirits communicating through Divine Sense?"

Xiao Mu was puzzled that Li Jing could hear the Divine Sense communication of the divine statues but soon stopped pondering the reason.

He left part of his Divine Sense within the Spirituality-devoid divine statue and continued to monitor the movements of the Dragon Lord and the Ferryman, while the rest of his Divine Sense returned to his own body.

Xiao Mu took a stone tablet and went back to his residence.

Upon returning home, he immediately contacted Zhao Jingyan via hair and inquired about the issue of the craftsmen being attacked.

"Attack?"

Zhao Jingyan was momentarily taken aback by Xiao Mu's question, "I haven't heard of it; each craftsman in the gathering is safe, and I've heard of no accidents involving any of them."

No craftsmen in the gathering were attacked; could Lu Ping's encounter being attacked purely by chance signify that the actions from beyond are not aimed at attacking craftsmen?

"Brother Mu, do you need my help with anything?" Zhao Jingyan asked cautiously.

"No need, I will handle it myself; Brother Zhao, just stay at the gathering hosted by Mr. Gu Ya and continue to listen for information."

Then Xiao Mu cut off the communication with Zhao Jingyan and started pondering the actions from beyond. Meanwhile, he continued his Cultivation while maintaining his monitoring through Divine Sense on the divine statues of the Dragon Lord and the Ferryman in the temple.

"The incidents of Mutated Beings in Twilight Forest Village being attacked were not coincidental; after Lu Ping, Chen Jiao was also attacked. Lu Ping was a craftsman, and he was buying Mutated Materials for Chu Qingmu to cast an Excavation Shovel just before being attacked."

"The Excavation Shovel is for digging up the ruins of Qing Jie Thunder God at Canghua Mountain."

"Chen Jiao was a material merchant, supplying various Mutated Materials to the craftsmen of Twilight Forest Village; during this attack, he and all his Mutated Materials disappeared."

At the Base of Village Protection Team, the leader Yu Jiasheng sat opposite Zhao Yaogu, holding a report and softly reading it out.

"Both of those attacked are related to Mutated Materials; could it be that the attack from beyond was aimed at these materials?" Zhao Yaogu raised his eyebrows and swung his right hand downward to the left heavily, emphasizing his point.

"That's possible, but I think there might be another possibility. Perhaps those from beyond attacked them to disrupt our plan to excavate Qing Jie Thunder God's ruins at Canghua Mountain," suggested Yu Jiasheng as he put down the report, nodding but supplementing Zhao Yaogu's idea.

"This..."

Zhao Yaogu suddenly stood up but then abruptly sat back down, "That really might be possible; Brother Yu, what are you excavating Qing Jie Thunder God's ruins at Canghua Mountain for?"

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Yu Jiasheng's face, quickly followed by a nonchalant response: "Well... Brother Zhao, there are Treasures in the ruins of Qing Jie Thunder God, undeniably, it's better to dig them out than to leave them underground."

This old Yu, still hiding things from me.

Zhao Yaogu nodded subtly, responding without showing his thoughts, "Brother Yu makes sense; if it's as you guess, what do you think will be the next move from beyond? Who might they target?"

Yu Jiasheng's expression suddenly turned solemn, he bowed his head in thought, and the more he thought, the more solemn his expression became, revealing shockingly, "Maybe it's me, or perhaps it's Old Chu."

"Who is Old Chu?" Zhao Yaogu asked urgently.

Yu Jiasheng smiled bitterly, "That's Chu Qingmu, whom I've sent to Canghua Mountain to oversee the excavation of Qing Jie Thunder God's ruins, and he's also a member of our Village Protection Team."

Zhao Yaogu's left hand loosened, causing his right elbow to drop, he said anxiously, "Is this person in the Village Protection Team? If not, please, Brother Yu, summon him back immediately to prevent him from being attacked by Mutated Beings from beyond."

"I'll do it right away."

Hearing this, Yu Jiasheng also became anxious, and immediately took out his cellphone to contact Chu Qingmu.

Fortunately, the call connected instantly, and Chu Qingmu answered, "Hello, Leader Yu, did you call me?"

"Old Chu, return to the Village Protection Team immediately."

"Leader, I was just planning to go for an on-site investigation at Canghua Mountain..."

"Abort that, I command you to return to the Village Protection Team immediately. No, tell me your location; I'll come and meet you."

"Alright, Leader, I'm currently about three hundred meters north of the village center, near the Ge Family."
