"Otherwise, others will surely not accept this."

"Why is it that Xiao Mu keeps the spoils of war from killing enemies, while everyone else has to hand them over?"

"Exactly!"

Yan Ming nodded in agreement.

Xiong Jin continued, "As for the rewards for eliminating ordinary members of the Five Elements Sect, they should still be given. Xiao Mu did contribute, and indeed killed enemies."

Jin Yuan nodded and asked, "In Elder Xiong's opinion, how should we reward Xiao Mu?"

Xiong Jin thought for a moment, "Isn't Xiao Mu about to step into the True God Realm? How about this, when he breaks through into the True God Realm, allow him to do so within the True God Hall."

"The True God Realm is a threshold. Breaking through to the True God Realm carries significant risks—one misstep during the process could lead to death. Xiao Mu is no exception."

"Allowing him to enter the True God Hall for cultivation and breakthrough would reduce the danger by at least fifty percent. Isn't this a decent reward? I believe he would be satisfied with it."

Jin Yuan listened and nodded in approval, "Elder Xiong's proposal is excellent. Then it's decided: let Xiao Mu break through in the True God Hall, so that he can more easily step into the True God Realm. With such a reward, he should be satisfied."

"There's another matter concerning the Life and Death Seal Battle that requires further discussion with everyone."

"Please speak, Elder Jin!"

Xiong Jin, Fei Xuan, and Yan Ming all adjusted their postures seriously.

Jin Yuan said, "We were previously unsure about the success of the Life and Death Seal Battle. But now, with Zun stepping into the True God Realm, our side's chances of success have significantly increased."

"Earlier, I contacted the Divine Phoenix. She mentioned that the Human Emperor might soon awaken, with his consciousness entering his body first."

"At that time, she plans to use the Human Emperor Seal, taking advantage of the Human Emperor's awakening to help restore our authority and reclaim the True God positions."

"Is there really such a thing?"

Xiong Jin, Fei Xuan, and Yan Ming were all taken aback.

Jin Yuan's words not only surprised them but also brought great joy.

They were originally True Gods, but these True Gods were different from the ordinary ones; their positions were reliant on the authority of the Human Emperor.

Ever since the Human Emperor fell into slumber and his authority dissipated, their positions as True Gods disappeared.

Now, with the Human Emperor awakening and authority returning to the world, helping them reclaim their positions as True Gods was naturally not a difficult thing.

Jin Yuan raised a hand, "Everyone, don't get overly excited. The Human Emperor's awakening and our restoration of the positions as True Gods will merely be a matter of course."

"The key lies in what comes afterward."

"At Twilight Forest Village, with Zun entering the True God Realm, our odds of winning the Life and Death Seal Battle will increase significantly."

"Combined with the Human Emperor awakening, we are poised to reclaim the True God positions."

"My idea is to seize this opportunity to cultivate talent for the Alliance. Send individuals to Twilight Forest Village to earn merit in the Life and Death Seal Battle."

"I have discussed this matter with the Divine Phoenix, and we agreed that if anyone can achieve victory in the Life and Death Seal Battle and make extraordinary contributions, they will be sent to the Human Emperor Tower to accelerate their cultivation."

Hearing this, Xiong Jin, Yan Ming, and Fei Xuan exchanged glances, their expressions shifting. "Send those who achieve merit to the Human Emperor Tower to accelerate their cultivation? Elder Jin, are you serious?"

Jin Yuan smiled, "This is a joint decision between me and the Divine Phoenix. As for the Divine Phoenix, I suspect she may have even informed the Human Emperor. How could this be false?"

"However, as all of you know, the Human Emperor Tower's energy is limited and can only assist a certain number of people. It's impossible to allow too many individuals to enter the tower to accelerate their cultivation."

"Therefore, the Divine Phoenix and my viewpoint are aligned: for this Life and Death Seal Battle, the one who makes the greatest contribution will enter the Human Emperor Tower for cultivation, while others will receive rewards based on their contribution."

"No reward can compare to the opportunity to cultivate in the Human Emperor Tower. Within the tower, the Human Emperor's authority pervades, not only assisting cultivators in refining their bodies and enhancing cultivation speed but also stabilizing their realms. This ensures that the cultivators not only advance their realms but also achieve greater stability, facilitating easier breakthroughs in the future."

Xiong Jin couldn't help but sigh with admiration.

He was intimately familiar with the cultivation effects of the Human Emperor Tower.

Before reaching the True God Realm, cultivators could rely on energy fruits, consuming them continuously to gain power and advance in realms relatively easily.

But after reaching the True God Realm, not only did the energy fruit requirements for cultivation surge significantly, but the difficulty of cultivation also dramatically increased.

Many cultivators, despite having sufficient energy fruits, remained unable to advance their realms over tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years.

Figures like Jin Yuan, Xiong Jin, Fei Xuan, and Yan Ming, as well as characters like Zhou Xuanmen and Zun, had all lived for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years, yet many of them remained stuck at the late True God Realm or mid True God Realm. Individuals capable of reaching the peak were rare.

Even Zhou Xuanmen himself was only at the late True God Realm, while Zun remained at the mid True God Realm.

Jin Yuan laughed, "That's precisely why this reward is so important."

"Additionally, with us regaining our positions as True Gods."

"At that point, our side's top-tier Divine Spirit ranks will undoubtedly become vacant."

"Thus, I intend to take this opportunity to cultivate seed disciples."

"The three of you, who do you think would be suitable to send as seed disciples to earn merits?"

The three elders' breathing suddenly quickened upon hearing Jin Yuan's words.

"I recommend Chen Ming."

"I think Shen Ling should go. Among the current early-stage True God Realm disciples, who can match her?"

Xiong Jin and Fei Xuan almost simultaneously proposed their candidates, recommending different individuals.

These two seed disciples were respectively associated with them.

Chen Ming was Xiong Jin's disciple, while Shen Ling was Fei Xuan's granddaughter.

The two elders, speaking almost simultaneously, were naturally advocating for their own protégés.

It was inevitable—the temptation of cultivating in the Human Emperor Tower was too significant. Anyone aware of the opportunity would go to any lengths to seize it.

"Haha!" Yan Ming chuckled. He had no suitable candidates to recommend and did not intend to participate.

"Old Xiong!"

"Old Fei!"

Xiong Jin and Fei Xuan began speaking simultaneously, both trying to persuade the other to let their candidate join.

"Cough, cough, Old Fei, let me have this opportunity, and I'll give you three Divine Treasures and ten secret manuals."

Xiong Jin seized the moment and eagerly attempted to convince Fei Xuan to relinquish the chance.

Fei Xuan rejected outright, "No way. Old Xiong, if you give Shen Ling this chance, I'll offer you five Divine Treasures and twelve secret manuals."

"Cough, cough! Let's do this, Old Fei!"

Xiong Jin quickly realized his offer was insufficient and adjusted it hastily. "Let Chen Ming have this opportunity, and I'll give you one Boundary Breaking Pill for early-stage to mid-stage, plus I promise not to compete with you for the next opportunity to enter the Human Emperor Tower."

"Old Xiong, are you serious about this?"

Fei Xuan's eyes flashed with sharp interest.

The Boundary Breaking Pill for early-stage to mid-stage in the True God Realm was precious and extremely rare.

Most mutated beings in the True God Realm required such a pill to advance their realms before obtaining their True God positions. Advancement without a Boundary Breaking Pill was impossible.

At this moment, Xiong Jin offered one such Boundary Breaking Pill, along with his relinquishment of the next opportunity to enter the Human Emperor Tower, effortlessly convincing Fei Xuan.

"I wouldn't lie about such matters, Old Fei. When have I ever spoken falsely?"

Xiong Jin smiled and nodded.

Fei Xuan immediately said, "Give me the Boundary Breaking Pill now!"

"Take it!"

Xiong Jin flicked his finger, sending a golden pill threaded with black streaks flying toward Fei Xuan.

"It really is an early-stage to mid-stage Boundary Breaking Pill. Haha! Old Xiong, this opportunity goes to your disciple Chen Ming this time."

Fei Xuan inspected the pill briefly, laughed heartily, and pocketed it.

"Thank you!"

Xiong Jin grinned and turned to Jin Yuan, saying, "Elder Jin, let's settle this: the opportunity goes to Chen Ming."

Jin Yuan nodded and replied, "So be it. Since you've reached an agreement, Chen Ming will undertake merit work. He will join the Life and Death Seal Battle."

"However, Old Xiong, be careful. The Heavenly Court remains a formidable force. Before sending Chen Ming to Twilight Forest Village, ensure he has plenty of survival tools."

"Thank you for the reminder, Elder Jin. Rest assured, my disciple will not engage in the battle unless certain of earning merit. Since he's participating, he'll surely accomplish something." Xiong Jin laughed heartily, brimming with confidence in his disciple.
