Ever since he obtained the complete Life and Death Seal of the Eastern Domain, he clearly felt the benefits of this so-called augmentation of authority.

To him, as long as he was in the Eastern Domain, possessing its authority made him stronger than ordinary True God authority.

Of course, this augmentation would only truly manifest once he became a True God.

Furthermore, there was the matter Yu Jiasheng mentioned about overseeing treasures, which was equally appealing to him, so he promptly asked, "Brother Yu, regarding the elders you mentioned who can oversee treasures, what exactly are these treasures?"

Yu Jiasheng replied with some embarrassment, "I'm ashamed to say that my position is too low to be involved in high-level secrets, so I can't say for sure."

"However, Brother Xiao, I heard that these treasures possess special abilities. Some can enhance cultivation speed; some can help break through realms; others have unique abilities."

"These treasures are all related to Human Emperor authority, and it's said they are useful even at the Heavenly God Realm."

"Oh!"

Xiao Mu's eyes lit up as he suddenly had a thought.

The Human Emperor Seal is also related to Human Emperor authority and has always been overseen by the Divine Phoenix Lady.

Could the treasures Yu Jiasheng mentioned, managed by various Grand Elders, be similar to the Human Emperor Seal?

Wait, the Human Emperor Tower.

The Human Emperor Tower seems to be managed by Grand Elder Jin Yuan, right? Is overseeing the Human Emperor Tower part of Grand Elder Jin Yuan's duties?

And what about the True God Hall, who manages that?

Are these responsibilities of the elders or Grand Elders?

If that's the case, then the position of an elder is definitely worth taking up.

Indeed, he must find a way to become a Grand Elder himself. Only by doing so can he obtain more and stronger authority.

"Thank you for clearing up my doubts, Brother Yu. I understand the gist of it now."

Xiao Mu thanked Yu Jiasheng with a smile, nodding kindly.

"It's my honor to help Brother Xiao," Yu Jiasheng said humbly.

"Moreover, there's one more thing I need to inform you all: I'm about to become a True God, and once that happens, I'll be a Grand Elder of the Alliance."

Xiao Mu thought for a moment and decided to share an important piece of information.

Yu Jiasheng, Zhao Jingyan, Zhu Ping, and Li Gujian could all be considered his close subordinates, so there was no need to hide the news of his promotion to Grand Elder from them.

What's more, this information was already known to many, thus impossible to keep secret.

"Congratulations, Brother Xiao."

Upon hearing this, Yu Jiasheng, Zhao Jingyan, and the others were overjoyed and immediately stood up in unison, once again congratulating Xiao Mu. "We pledge our allegiance to Brother Xiao. In the future, whatever Brother Xiao needs us to do, just say the word, and we'll not hesitate."

"Please sit, everyone!" Xiao Mu's divine face bore a slight smile.

The reason he told Yu Jiasheng, Zhao Jingyan, and the others about his impending promotion to Grand Elder was precisely to achieve this result.

Hearing the four swear their allegiance simultaneously, he felt greatly satisfied.

He then said, "I'm aware of the intentions of you all. Soon, I have to go to headquarters, but considering that we have worked together, how could I leave without informing you? Moreover..."

As Xiao Mu spoke, he waved his hand, and immediately four storage boxes appeared on the altar table. He casually said, "These are gifts for you all before I leave, one for each. I hope you can quickly enhance your strength."

With another wave of his hand, the four storage boxes flew up together, leaving the altar table and heading towards Zhao Jingyan, Yu Jiasheng, Zhu Ping, and Li Gujian.

"Thank you, Brother Xiao!"

Zhao Jingyan, Yu Jiasheng, Zhu Ping, and Li Gujian happily accepted the storage boxes and once again thanked Xiao Mu.

"Why not open them and take a look?" Xiao Mu smiled and suggested.

Zhao Jingyan, Yu Jiasheng, and the others heeded his suggestion and opened the storage boxes, immediately letting out four exclamations of surprise.

Inside Zhao Jingyan, Li Gujian, and Zhu Ping's storage boxes was a Divine Weapon, plus a rank of divine spirit office.

While in Yu Jiasheng's storage box, in addition to a Divine Weapon, there was also a set of divine regalia suitable for his use.

After their initial delight, the four exchanged glances and simultaneously bowed respectfully to Xiao Mu. "From today onwards, only Brother Xiao is the one to whom we pledge our loyalty."

"You are too kind," Xiao Mu said contentedly, waving his hand. "A few Divine Treasures are no big deal; if they can help you enhance your strength, what does it matter to me?"

"Next, I will head to headquarters soon. Please enhance your strength as quickly as possible; otherwise, with your current abilities, you'd truly struggle to assist me."

"Yes, Brother Xiao!"

Yu Jiasheng, Zhao Jingyan, and the others replied respectfully and earnestly.

Xiao Mu nodded, finding their response satisfactory.

These four could be considered his loyal subordinates, and it was uncertain when they might become useful in the future. For Xiao Mu, the stronger these subordinates were, the more they could help him.

Therefore, before leaving, he first probed to confirm their loyalty and then bestowed treasures to aid them in strengthening their abilities.

Xiao Mu continued, "As I'm about to leave, if any of you encounter difficulties in cultivation, take this opportunity to tell me, and I'll do my best to assist you."

Zhao Jingyan, Zhu Ping, Li Gujian, and Yu Jiasheng exchanged looks but ultimately shook their heads, indicating that, for now, they hadn't encountered any cultivation issues.

Only Yu Jiasheng hesitated to speak.

Noticing this, Xiao Mu turned his gaze towards Yu Jiasheng.

Yu Jiasheng, seeing Xiao Mu's attention on him, hesitated briefly before stepping forward respectfully, "Brother Xiao, I have an unworthy request, and I don't know if I should mention it."

Xiao Mu remained noncommittal, "Go ahead and speak."

"Yes."

Yu Jiasheng responded, speaking slowly, "My wife has a niece from her paternal side named Du Yao, who is currently working at the Floating Sky Mountain Headquarters."

"This niece of my wife's is somewhat timid and often bullied at headquarters."

"Brother Xiao, as you're about to become a Grand Elder of the Alliance, I'd like to ask if you could look after my wife's niece once you assume this position."

Xiao Mu wasn't averse to this request; based on the information Yu Jiasheng just provided, he knew that once he became a Grand Elder, his authority would surely be significant.

As a Grand Elder, looking after an ordinary Mutated Being should pose no difficulty at all. Just a word could resolve many issues.

He then asked, "What does this niece of your wife, Du Yao, do? How do you plan for me to look after her?"

Yu Jiasheng quickly replied, "Du Yao, as my wife tells me, has always been bullied. If Brother Xiao could transfer her from her current position, that would be the best. By the way, my niece is currently employed at the Mengtian Pavilion and serves as a Mengtian Envoy."

"A Mengtian Envoy?"

Xiao Mu found it curious; could such a coincidence really happen?

Not long ago, he had just learned about the situation of the Mengtian Pavilion and the Mengtian Envoys at the Alliance headquarters from Zhou Xuanmen, and now he knew the name of a Mengtian Envoy?

"Yes!"

Yu Jiasheng, evidently unaware of Xiao Mu's thoughts, added, "My wife's niece, as a Mengtian Envoy, is quite capable and even exceptionally gifted. Among the Mengtian Envoys at the Mengtian Pavilion, she stands out. Unfortunately, due to her timid nature, she's been ostracized."

"Brother Xiao, when you become a Grand Elder, just one word from you could transfer her away."

"As for where my wife's niece wishes to go, I'm not sure. I'll have my wife ask her later."

"There's no need for such trouble."

Xiao Mu smiled, "I have some business to attend to at the Mengtian Pavilion. Once I reach Floating Sky Mountain, I'll personally ask your wife's niece."

"If she indeed wishes to be transferred, I'll ensure she gets moved elsewhere."

"Thank you, Brother Xiao!" Yu Jiasheng exclaimed with delight at these words. "I thank Brother Xiao in advance for my wife's niece."

"No need for such formalities among us!"

Xiao Mu waved his divine hand dismissively, "By the way, Brother Yu, you mentioned earlier that as a Mengtian Envoy, your wife's niece is quite talented among her peers. What exactly do you mean by that?"
