"Chief Lv, you are too humble. Although I cultivate quickly, in battle, my strength might not necessarily match yours."

Xiao Mu instinctively showed humility.

Lv Liangping was momentarily at a loss for words; he felt that even in battle, he might not necessarily be able to match Xiao Mu.

"Xiao Mu, do you know that this Eternal Lamp originally did not belong to the Eight Elders' side but was a treasure under our control?" Zun suddenly changed the topic back to the Eternal Lamp.

"A treasure under our control?" Xiao Mu was greatly surprised.

Zun smiled and said, "Unexpected, isn't it? This Eternal Lamp was not only a treasure under our control, but the original holder is right in front of you."

As he spoke, he suddenly looked at Lv Liangping.

Xiao Mu was even more surprised and exclaimed, "Chief Lv, you once held the Eternal Lamp?"

"There's no need to mention past events, shameful!" Lv Liangping waved his hand, looking quite ashamed.

"Why shouldn't we mention it?"

Zun, smiling again, said to Xiao Mu: "In the Ancient Great War, if Old Lv hadn't lost his advantage in battle, leading the Human Emperor to remove his command power, how would the Eternal Lamp have ended up with Lei Zhanghua?"

Lv Liangping, hearing this, felt even more ashamed.

Xiao Mu was curious, "Senior Zun, during the Ancient Great War, was our Human Emperor faction on the side of the Heavenly Emperor or Emperor Taija?"

Zun said without hesitation, "We were, of course, on the side of the Heavenly Emperor."

Xiao Mu thought of the similarity in authority between the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor and the Merit Seal, and then couldn't help but want to ask more about the relationship between the Human Emperor and Heavenly Emperor, but he held back just as the words reached his lips.

Speaking behind the Human Emperor's back, if he somehow knew about it, Xiao Mu feared he would face serious consequences.

Forget it! No need to ask, what's meant to be known will eventually be known.

Zun sighed, "Ever since the Eternal Lamp was transferred to Lei Zhanghua's hands, the Eight Elders have greatly increased their strength by relying on this treasure."

"Especially, this treasure can help True Gods in the early stage step into the mid-stage. For True Gods, this is extremely important. Many True God powerhouses, due to talent issues, are stuck in the early stage and cannot step into the mid-stage. With this lamp, the possibility of breaking through is greatly improved."

"Xiao Mu, you've been in seclusion, you probably haven't received the information yet. During your seclusion, the Eight Elders, relying on this lamp, have all stepped into the mid-stage of True God, including Chen Ming who entered the Creation Space with you."

"Chen Ming also stepped into the mid-stage of True God?" Xiao Mu was stunned.

Chen Ming's cultivation speed, isn't it too fast? From early stage of True God to mid-stage, he's achieved it so quickly?

However, thinking back, Xiao Mu felt that Chen Ming's fast cultivation speed was reasonable.

After all, when this person originally entered the Creation Space, he was already at the early stage of True God.

For him, as long as he fused with the Guobao Divine Monarch Command, he could immediately achieve True God.

And with this person's many years in the early stage of True God, stepping into the mid-stage is obviously easier compared to someone like Xiao Mu who starts cultivating from the beginning.

Quickly, Xiao Mu's face darkened.

This Chen Ming, in the Creation Space, not only killed his own allies but also schemed against Gu Mei, Huang Yuan, and even himself, leading to the deaths of many mutated beings in the human world.

Xiao Mu despised this person greatly.

Back then, if not for the Human Emperor intentionally showing weakness, wanting to hide his strength, and helping Jin Yuan to kill Huang Luo, Chen Ming would definitely have been executed.

Now, this person not only survived but also smoothly stepped into the mid-stage of True God.

Xiao Mu felt somewhat indignant.

"Breaking Through?"

Lv Liangping suddenly interrupted, feeling quite dismissive, "Lei Zhanghua and Jia Ming, these people were already in the mid-stage of True God before; now it's merely a restoration of authority. They had this strength before, so it's not really a breakthrough. Otherwise, let them try cultivating from the beginning and see if they break through as quickly."

Zun smiled, gave Lv Liangping a glance, and said to Xiao Mu, "Old Lv is feeling a bit unwilling. He, like me, is one of the rebuilt individuals, and seeing the Eight Elders' strength restored so quickly, naturally feels unwilling."

Xiao Mu was surprised to look at Lv Liangping, curiously asking Zun, "Senior Zun, are there many rebuilt individuals in our alliance?"

"Not a lot, but there are seven or eight, besides me and Old Lv, Old Huang is actually one too. Also, there are some neutral parties."

Zun patiently answered Xiao Mu's questions, "Our Human Emperor faction not only has many rebuilt individuals awaiting the Human Emperor's awakening and authority restoration, besides the Eight Elders, there are also others."

"But most of these people belong to the neutral side, neither part of us and the Divine Phoenix nor the side of the Eight Elders."

"There's also a neutral faction?" Xiao Mu was once again surprised.

The Human Emperor faction doesn't just have opposing forces like the Divine Phoenix and Eight Elders but also has a third faction, which was quite unexpected for him.

"How could there be none?"

Zun smiled, "Now that the Human Emperor is awakening, these neutral faction people are probably about to return too. At that time, even compared to the Heavenly Court, our Human Emperor faction's strength won't be much weaker."

"At least in the number of True Gods, there won't be a difference in magnitude."
