The true Five Elements Light was blocked, and Zun was calmly merging with the Five Elements Divine Token.

The Five Elements Divine Token, under the pull of Zun's own Five Elements Power, was gradually drawn into Zun's body and fused with it.

Within Zun's body, an intense burst of true Five Elements Light erupted.

His body underwent continuous changes, his flesh and blood began to reorganize and transform as it fused with the true Five Elements Light.

As a powerhouse at the mid True God Realm, Zun's fusion process proceeded very smoothly.

After more than three hours, Zun had fully completed the fusion.

Behind him, the true Five Elements Divine Light flickered faintly, and every gesture and movement radiated with the accompanying power of the true Five Elements.

"Congratulations, Senior Zun, for attaining True God status!"

Xiao Mu clasped his hands and congratulated Zun.

"Congratulations, Zun, for becoming a True God!"

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

"Another True God has risen in the human world!"

The other mutated beings of the human world also offered Zun their congratulations, their words tinged with undisguisable envy.

"The joy is mutual, the joy is mutual!"

Zun, elated, returned their compliments, then turned to Xiao Mu and said, "Xiao Mu, I won't express my thanks verbally. In the future, if you ever face trouble or anyone targets you, they must go through me first."

"I thank you in advance, Senior!"

Xiao Mu expressed his gratitude to Zun.

He already had clues about the Yama Seal. As long as he could enter the sealed area where the Life and Death Seal was located, he had an opportunity to obtain it.

At that time, he himself would also step into the True God Realm and become a True God, no longer requiring Zun's protection.

However, having an ally was always better than having none.

Thus, hearing Zun's words, Xiao Mu still felt joy in his heart.

"Zun has become a True God!"

The clouds of Wu De suddenly descended from the sky, and the Wu De Divine Monarch appeared before the crowd.

When he saw Zun's situation, he was momentarily stunned.

Then, noticing Xiao Mu, he exclaimed in surprise, "Xiao kid is back!"

"Greetings, Senior!"

Xiao Mu saluted the Wu De Divine Monarch.

He wasn't aware that this individual had just returned from a great battle with Meng Xuantong.

The Wu De Divine Monarch's strength had originally surpassed Meng Xuantong, but because his injuries had not fully healed, their recent clash ended in a stalemate with neither able to overcome the other.

"No need for formalities!"

The Wu De Divine Monarch nodded at Xiao Mu, then turned his attention back to Zun immediately, "Zun, in just a few hours, you've managed to become a True God? The Five Elements Position—did it come from the Five Elements Patriarch? How... what did you do to the Five Elements Patriarch?"

The Wu De Divine Monarch noticed the aura of the Five Elements Patriarch on Zun and grew even more astonished.

The Five Elements Patriarch was supposed to be in the sealed land, preparing to emerge. How had his position ended up in Zun's possession?

Zun saw the surprise in the Wu De Divine Monarch's eyes and explained with a smile, "Wu De, you are unaware. This position came from Xiao Mu. That Five Elements Patriarch, within the sealed area, has already been slain by Xiao Mu, even his position was stripped away."

"Xiao Mu? How is that possible? Xiao kid killed the Five Elements Patriarch?"

The Wu De Divine Monarch's disbelief was evident. Xiao Mu, capable of killing the Five Elements Patriarch? What kind of joke was this?

The Five Elements Patriarch was from the same era as him. Although slightly weaker, the gap wasn't substantial.

A True God of such stature, killed by Xiao Mu? Xiao Mu was merely a Divine Spirit; Divine Spirits and True Gods existed on entirely different levels.

"Wu De, don't be alarmed."

Zhou Xuanmen descended from the clouds and joined in on the explanation, "Xiao Mu killing the Five Elements Patriarch wasn't entirely due to his own power—the key lies in the Creation Divine Array."

"Within the sealed land, Xiao Mu had mastery over the Creation Divine Array, which enabled him to kill the Five Elements Patriarch."

"The Creation Divine Array?"

The Wu De Divine Monarch furrowed his brows in contemplation, "If that's the case, then it might barely be possible."

"The Creation Divine Array is a great array at the True God Level, capable of killing the Five Elements Patriarch. Judging by this, the Patriarch must've been gravely injured—otherwise, even the Creation Divine Array shouldn't have been enough to kill him."

"Likely so, after all, that Five Elements Patriarch had been sealed for tens of thousands of years. His declining strength was expected under such circumstances."

Zhou Xuanmen nodded in agreement without objection.

He then added, "Friend, now Zun is also a True God. Counting you, we now have three True Gods in the human realm. Against the forces of the Heavenly Court, we no longer need to fear."

"Wu De, Zun, in the battle for the Life and Death Seal, the three True Gods of the Heavenly Court will surely act in unison. I have an idea I'd like to propose to you both—to see what you think."

"Everyone else, return for now. I need to strategize with Wu De and Zun on how best to counter the Heavenly Court for the upcoming battle over the Life and Death Seal."

After receiving assent from Wu De and Zun, Zhou Xuanmen turned to the surrounding mutated beings and urged them to leave.

One by one, the mutated beings of the human realm offered their farewells and returned to their residences.

Zun turned to Xiao Mu, "Xiao Xiao, you too should go back—the great battle must've left you exhausted. Rest well."

"In the battle of the sealed land, you made a phenomenal contribution. I'll petition Headquarters to secure you a reward."

"Thank you, Senior!"

Xiao Mu thanked Zun and then departed, returning to the camp.

"Brother Xiao, this way!"

"Brother Xiao, this way, we've been waiting for you for quite some time!"

As soon as Xiao Mu began his journey back, he saw Yang Jun and Zhao Qian up ahead.

Yang Jun and Zhao Qian stood by the roadside, waving at Xiao Mu.

"Brother Zhao, Brother Yang! Greetings to you both!"

Xiao Mu descended from his Escape Light and approached Yang Jun and Zhao Qian.

"Greetings, Brother Xiao! It's fortunate you've returned safely—otherwise, I would've been in big trouble this time." Zhao Qian looked relieved.

Zhao Qian had risked private action in aiding Xiao Mu's entry into the sealed land and had almost faced punishment.
