"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Zhou. I will become a True God as soon as possible."
Xiao Mu responded solemnly.
Zhou Xuanmen's words gave him a clear sense of urgency. It seemed that with the resurrection of the Human Emperor, the entire human world had become even more dangerous.
Zhou Xuanmen nodded in satisfaction and asked, "Have you decided? When will you go to Floating Sky Mountain?"
Xiao Mu thought for a moment, "I have met some people in Twilight Forest Village and plan to bid them farewell, then I will set off for Floating Sky Mountain immediately."
"Very well, Xiao Xiao, I have high hopes for you. I hope you can quickly become a True God. Once you do, we'll have four True Gods on our side. Also, this battle yielded three True God Command Tokens, and I estimate we can keep two, with the other one to be given to Jin Yuan and his team. I suspect Huang Yuan is also close to becoming a True God." Zhou Xuanmen patted Xiao Mu on the shoulder with satisfaction, revealing some core secrets, clearly treating Xiao Mu as a member of the inner circle.
"Is Senior Huang the next to become a True God?" Xiao Mu was surprised and delighted upon hearing this.
Among the seized three Command Tokens, one was actually Huang Yuan's.
But, it made sense. Since Huang Yuan was on their side, it was only reasonable for the Divine Phoenix female general to bestow the True God Command Token upon him.
"Don't tell outsiders about this. Huang Yuan is only one; the other person is yet to be determined."
Zhou Xuanmen solemnly cautioned Xiao Mu against spreading this information.
Xiao Mu nodded, agreeing. After saying a few more things, he bid farewell to Zhou Xuanmen and returned to his rented place.
After a bit of tidying up, he contacted Zhao Jingyan, Li Gujian, Zhu Ping, and Yu Jiasheng, arranging to meet at Zhao Jingyan's temple that evening.
That night, around eight o'clock, by the time Xiao Mu utilized the Divine Image Manifestation, Zhao Jingyan, Li Gujian, Zhu Ping, Yu Jiasheng, and others had been waiting for quite a while.
Seeing Xiao Mu appear as the Divine Image, the four stood up together and paid their respects to him, "Greetings, Brother Mu."
"No need for formalities, please sit!"
With a wave of his hand, Xiao Mu as the Divine Image instructed the four to be seated.
"Thank you, Brother Mu!" Zhao Jingyan and Yu Jiasheng expressed gratitude and returned to their seats.
"Congratulations on your victorious return, Brother Mu!" Zhao Jingyan stood up once more to offer his congratulations to Xiao Mu, knowing that he had been part of the Creation Space battle and had heard of the human world's great victory.
"It's nothing, Zhao Brother, please sit!"
Xiao Mu gestured to Zhao Jingyan to sit down once again.
"Thank you, Brother Mu!" Zhao Jingyan thanked him and returned to his seat.
Yu Jiasheng, Zhu Ping, Li Gujian, and the others were puzzled by the scene but dared not ask openly.
Xiao Mu organized his words, "This time, I gathered you four to tell you two things. The first is about my true identity. My real name is not Mu Huaqing but Xiao Mu, sent by Headquarters to investigate the Undying Divine Sovereign's rebirth in Twilight Forest Village."
"That's why I concealed my identity from you."
Zhao Jingyan, Yu Jiasheng, and the others listened silently, not interrupting Xiao Mu's speech.
Some had already vaguely guessed Xiao Mu's identity, so they weren't overly shocked when he revealed it.
Xiao Mu continued, "The other matter is related to Headquarters' command. In the Creation Space battle, our human world won decisively; we killed numerous Heavenly Court Divine Spirits, including eight True God strongholds, with only Meng Xuantong and three others escaping, no longer a threat."
"Congratulations, Xiao Brother, congratulations to the human world, congratulations to Headquarters!" Zhao Jingyan, Yu Jiasheng, and the others took the opportunity to extend their congratulations.
Xiao Mu waved his hand, calming everyone down, and continued, "In this Creation Space, my achievements were significant, and the Alliance summoned me back for further promotion. As of now, I am an elder of Headquarters."
"Congratulations, Xiao Brother, Headquarters elder, what substantial authority!"
Yu Jiasheng quickly congratulated Xiao Mu, showing visible joy.
"Yu Brother, you say Headquarters elder has substantial authority; why don't I know what authority exactly? Yu Brother, could you explain what elders at Headquarters do?" Xiao Mu was puzzled by Yu Jiasheng's reaction.
Yu Jiasheng is the person in charge of Twilight Forest Village and a figurehead within the human world's Alliance structure.
It's reasonable for him to know the duties of a Headquarters elder.
"Alright!"
Yu Jiasheng agreed and respectfully explained to Xiao Mu, "Xiao Brother, Headquarters elders hold significant authority. Some elders can control treasures, possessing special authority and abilities; others oversee particular areas. For instance, our Twilight Forest Village is overseen by Elder Zhang Mu Zhang."
"Elder Zhang Mu Zhang gains both authority enhancement of Twilight Forest Village and increased strength while receiving numerous cultivation resources annually through overseeing."
"Oh!"
Xiao Mu nodded, pondering the information Yu Jiasheng shared.
The fact he could receive abundant resources from overseeing Twilight Forest Village wasn't what he focused on. It was the authority enhancement of Twilight Forest Village that piqued his interest.
