The seal emitted a faint yellow light, evidently carrying part of the authority of the Human Emperor, which was a portion of the Human Emperor's divided authority.

Then, after throwing out the seal, Jia Ming directly rode the clouds and flew north.

"Grand Elder Jia, since you admit that your virtue does not match your position and you lack the ability to manage the True God Hall, I will take back the administrative powers of the True God Hall."

The Divine Phoenix Lady, watching Jia Ming's departing figure, said this, then beckoned to the seal on the ground.

The seal then flew up and landed in her hand.

"Mei Zun, listen to the command!"

The Divine Phoenix Lady, holding the seal, looked at Mei Zun.

"Present!"

Mei Zun immediately became respectful and stern, bowing to the Divine Phoenix Lady.

With solemn demeanor, the Divine Phoenix Lady said: "I, as the representative of the Human Emperor, decree that Mei Zun, from this day forth, you shall take charge of the True God Hall."

"Yes, Mei Zun obeys the command. Thank you, Human Emperor, thank you, Divine Phoenix Lady!"

Mei Zun once more sincerely thanked both the Human Emperor and the Divine Phoenix Lady.

"Here is the seal, please keep it safe!" The Divine Phoenix Lady, her demeanor relaxed, placed the administrative seal of the True God Hall into Mei Zun's hands.

"Thank you!"

Mei Zun expressed thanks, picked up the seal, looked around, and using True Force, announced: "From today onwards, the True God Hall is under my, Mei Zun's, control."

"Within the True God Hall, personnel will remain unchanged for the time being, continuing to perform their respective duties. All personnel of the True God Hall, heed my command!"

"Greetings to Grand Elder Mei, congratulations to Grand Elder Mei on becoming the Hall Master of the True God Hall."

A group of workers from the True God Hall, upon hearing the call, hurriedly approached Mei Zun, bowing in respect and offering congratulations without the slightest delay.

Mei Zun, holding the seal, declared: "For now, the work content of the True God Hall remains unchanged, and the previously established list of candidates for cultivation in the True God Hall is temporarily revoked."

"Yes!"

All the workers replied in unison.

Mei Zun continued: "Aside from registering, the primary criterion for qualification to enter the True God Hall for cultivation is the merit achieved for the Alliance."

"Xiao Mu, having achieved great deeds during the Creation Space War, not only killed four Heavenly Court True God-level warriors but also aided our Alliance in annihilating eight True God level beings from the Heavenly Court, seized three treasures of True God authority, and assisted the Human Emperor in successfully reviving, with meritorious service, is hereby designated as the first individual eligible for cultivation in the True God Hall."

"Yes!" All the workers replied once more in unison.

"Thank you, Senior Zun!"

Standing within the True God Hall, Xiao Mu thanked Mei Zun, also bowing to express gratitude to the Divine Phoenix Lady.

"Within the True God Hall, resources have been burning continuous, to prevent waste, I shall now enter the core area for cultivation."

Saying this, Xiao Mu directly stood up, striding towards the core area of the True God Hall.

Mei Zun surveyed the interior of the True God Hall, and his gaze quickly fell on Zheng Wei, Xu Dong, and others, sternly saying: "Zheng Wei, Xu Dong, having entered the True God Hall, are automatically treated as having obtained qualification for marginal cultivation, losing access to core area cultivation qualification. During a short term, you may not reapply to enter the core area for cultivation."

Zheng Wei, Xu Dong, and others were caught off guard by the swift changes in the situation, as Jin Yuan and Jia Ming left one after another, abandoning them all.

Each one of them bore darkened expressions.

Losing the opportunity to cultivate in the core area of the True God Hall meant, for them, a significant delay in reaching the True God Realm.

Of course, it remains possible to reach the True God Realm by cultivating outside.

However, cultivating outside compared to within the core area of the True God Hall greatly increases the difficulty of reaching the True God Realm and results in missing numerous insights from True Gods, leaving one weaker after reaching the True God Realm than those who achieve it within the core area of the True God Hall.

Therefore, under Mei Zun's order, Zheng Wei, Xu Dong, and others' feelings were imagineable.

Mei Zun, holding the seal, shifted his gaze to the Variant Beings watching from the periphery, "Regarding the matter of qualification for cultivation in the True God Hall, as Grand Elder, I will show no favoritism, nor will I favor my own people."

"After Xiao Mu completes cultivation in the True God Hall, anyone at the peak of the Spirit Realm with hopes of reaching the True God Realm is eligible to apply."

"By then, apart from relying on one's merit for the Alliance for ranking, those who achieved no merit will enter a fair lot draw, and according to the draw sequence, they will determine the entrance order for cultivation in the True God Hall."

"Anyone who has not yet entered the True God Hall for cultivation can begin registration now. Yu Yun, start working to accept applications."

"Yes!" Yu Yun promptly and eagerly responded.

Since Mei Zun took over the administrative position of the True God Hall, all the rules have evidently changed. From today forth, all matters of the True God Hall will no longer obey Jia Ming's commands but will begin to follow Mei Zun's instead.

"Good!"

"Grand Elder Mei is wise!"

Amidst the crowd of onlookers came cheers and words of praise, immediately followed by someone shouting, "I want to register!"

"Don't hold me back, I want to register too!"

"Everyone, those registering, please proceed directly to the office. Xiao Du, Xiao Qian, handle the registrations." Yu Yun began to step out and organize the work.

"Yes!"

Named Xiao Du and Xiao Qian complied, heading back to the office to work.

The peak Spirit Realm Variant Beings lingering in the square all rushed into the office to register.

Soon, the entire square emptied, leaving only a few workers maintaining the Great Array and Mei Zun and the Divine Phoenix Lady.

"Zun, congratulations!"

The Divine Phoenix Lady suddenly smiled and congratulated Mei Zun.

"Divine Phoenix Lady, are you jesting with me too?" Mei Zun shook his head, distressed, "I intended to acquire the Eternal Lamp, but ended up only obtaining a post in the True God Hall."

"The position in the True God Hall only allows those at the peak of the Spirit Realm to reach the True God Realm, in itself lacking great value. Otherwise, why would Jin Yuan and Jia Ming easily give it up?"

The Divine Phoenix Lady responded seriously: "Being able to obtain the position in the True God Hall is an unexpected joy. Without Xiao Mu's sudden chaos in the True God Hall, this administrative position in the True God Hall would probably not fall into our hands so soon."

"As for the Eternal Lamp, we can gradually strategize to acquire it."

"Only so, then." Mei Zun continued to feel regret, then inquired the Divine Phoenix Lady further, "Divine Phoenix Lady, how is the allocation of True God authority being handled? Are we truly going to lose the Guobao Divine Monarch authority?"

The Divine Phoenix Lady sighed, feeling somewhat helpless, "As originally agreed, the three methods for distributing authority: the authority of the Western Domain Prefect remains unchanged, still belonging to Lv Liangping, aiding him in becoming the Domain Master."

"The authority obtained by the Eight Grand Elders, originally belonging to Ancestor Bloody Cloud, the Eight Grand Elders plan to hand it over to the Domain Master of the Great Xia Realm, as that Domain Master has always been an ally to the Eight Grand Elders, which shouldn't change either."

"Only the Retribution authority we favor for Huang Yuan, while the Eight Grand Elders favor Chen Ming."

"Chen Ming?"

Mei Zun was somewhat surprised, was it the same Chen Ming who also participated in the Creation Space War, whose merits were second only to Xiao Mu?

But heard the Divine Phoenix Lady continue: "Because we favor Huang Yuan, the Eight Grand Elders suddenly raised objections, claiming that in the Creation Space War, Chen Ming's merits far surpassed Huang Yuan's."

"Absurd! Huang Yuan merely didn't want to compete with Xiao Mu, hence he said he lost his Merit Record."

Mei Zun responded indignantly.

What about Chen Ming's merits surpassing Huang Yuan's, if not for Huang Yuan's reluctance to compete for cultivation in the Human Emperor Tower, claiming to have lost the Merit Record, who could say Chen Ming did more than Huang Yuan?

The Divine Phoenix Lady sighed, "Lost is lost, Huang Yuan admitted losing it, now it can't be brought out again, can it?"

"Thus, the Eight Grand Elders firmly assert that Huang Yuan entered the Creation Space, achieving nothing, having no right to the Guobao Divine Monarch authority."

"Chen Ming, whose merits are second only to Xiao Mu, if anyone deserves the Guobao Divine Monarch authority, who besides Chen Ming?"

"So, the Eight Grand Elders insist we should relinquish the Guobao Divine Monarch authority to let Chen Ming become the True God."

"Outrageous!"

Mei Zun was furious, "Jin Yuan and they are shameless to the point of entirely omitting how much effort we made to seize authority compared to theirs, solely discussing merits in the Creation Space."

"Divine Phoenix Lady, what does the Human Emperor mean? Has it been decided to let us give up the Guobao Divine Monarch authority to them?"

The Human Emperor is the one with the final decision-making power, thus Mei Zun started inquiring about the ultimate decision of the Human Emperor regarding this matter.
