"As you all can see, this is an incense burner that can accept Incense Fire. After establishing a temple, using it to receive Incense Fire can enhance the power of the Earth God Rank. I plan to give this incense burner to one of you to use,"

Wu Jie spoke unhurriedly, enunciating each word with clarity. Yet, his words exploded like thunder in the hearts of every Mutated Being present with a Divine Rank, other than the esteemed ones.

Zhou Pudu, Chen Fengshen, and others immediately showed a fervent light in their eyes.

To give the incense burner to someone present? Who? Since the Grand Chieftain hasn't specified who, it means everyone has a chance.

Everyone was tempted, fearing that others might acquire the incense burner.

Without waiting, Zhou Pudu said, "Grand Chieftain, I cultivate the Earth God Rank. Since this incense burner is for the Land God to receive Incense Fire, undoubtedly, I am the most suitable one here to use it."

"Grand Chieftain, please give me this incense burner. I will make sure to use it properly and utilize it to contribute to the Alliance," he added earnestly.

"Heh heh!"

Chen Fengshen chuckled, taking over the conversation to counter Zhou Pudu, "Ridiculous, just because an incense burner was used by a Land God, does it mean only a Land God can use it? A Mountain God can use it just the same."

"Grand Chieftain, I am in charge of foreign affairs, leading the external conquests. The one who most needs to strengthen their forces within the Ruins is clearly me," he claimed confidently.

Zhou Pudu sneered, "Has Brother Fengshen forgotten that Headquarters intends to assign me to take over foreign affairs? The position you hold in foreign affairs, Brother Fengshen, is about to be relinquished."

"If one says that the person in charge of foreign affairs and commanding conquests is the most qualified to use this incense burner, then it's not Brother Fengshen who's the most eligible here—it should be me."

"You..."

Not only Chen Fengshen and Zhou Pudu were disputing over the incense burner, but the four elders, including Mei Jun, were also moved by it.

If they got the incense burner for themselves, they could slowly use the Power of Incense Fire to repair their damaged Divine Spirits' Ranks, possibly even fully restoring them eventually.

To restore their Ranks was a tremendous temptation for the four elders, including Mei Jun.

Unable to resist, Mei Jun spoke up, "Grand Chieftain, my Rank is damaged, this incense burner could repair my Rank."

Xu Qianwu followed, saying, "Grand Chieftain, I am defending the South Five Regions, facing the Curse Gate's Cursed Son."

"If I had this incense burner, I would have a much better chance when confronting the Curse Gate."

"Wait!"

Even Gu Hui could not help but speak out to claim the right to use the incense burner, "You all are merely facing the Five Elements Sect and the Curse Gate. Although the Curse Gate's tactics are bizarre, Xu Qianwu and Fang Ying, the two of you working together should be sufficient."

"Whereas, I am faced with the Life and Death Sect, and I don't have any assistance and must face it alone. This incense burner should rightly be used by me."

"No, no, this incense burner should be used by me..."

The elders and chieftains suddenly fell into an argument, all wanting the right to use the ancient incense burner, plunging the scene into chaos.

Cui Yan opened his mouth, initially wanting to fight for the right to use the incense burner, but after glancing at Zhou Pudu, he suppressed the idea, not yet gutsy enough to compete with Zhou Pudu.

Zun wore a faint smile and never interrupted.

His path of cultivation was quite similar to Xiao Mu's, never considering the path of Incense Fire; his main focus was on personal power enhancement.

Therefore, while the other chieftains, whether it was Chen Fengshen, Zhou Pudu, or the four elders, had all built temples after obtaining their Divine Ranks, Zun had not.

Although the Path of Incense Fire could indeed enhance personal strength and accelerate cultivation pace, it could also bring about Tribulation Calamity to oneself. It can be said to have both advantages and disadvantages, ultimately depending on personal choice.

"Quiet down, everyone..."

Wu Jie raised his hand to stop everyone from continuing to argue.

The irascible Xu Qianwu could not help but call out loudly, "Grand Chieftain, just tell us who it will be given to. It's pointless to make us argue without saying anything!"

Others refrained from speaking, looking towards Wu Jie.

The words of Xu Qianwu were precisely what they wanted to say, except they were not as hot-tempered and outspoken as he was.

"Calm yourselves!"

Wu Jie smiled at Xu Qianwu before saying, "You all have only seen the incense burner, but do you know how it came into our possession?"

"Grand Chieftain, stop beating around the bush, just speak plainly," Xu Qianwu called out impatiently, urging Wu Jie.

Wu Jie was not offended, "This incense burner was taken by Xiao Mu from the hands of the Five Elements True Monarch. And in my view, the demand of the Five Elements True Monarch for Xiao Mu is most likely because of this incense burner."

"What? Xiao Mu?"

"The incense burner was brought back by Xiao Mu?"

"No wonder the Five Elements True Monarch demanded Xiao Mu!"

Everyone was shocked, issuing exclamations.

Aside from Wu Yan who already knew the incense burner was retrieved by Xiao Mu, only Zun seemed indifferent.

Among the others, Chen Fengshen's surprise was tinged with delight, while the faces of Zhou Pudu, Qin Duan, and Cui Yan immediately darkened.

Wu Jie continued, "According to the rules of the Alliance, when distributing treasures, the person who recovers the treasure is entitled to make a suggestion on who should use it."

"So, who ultimately uses the incense burner must also take into account Xiao Mu's opinion."

Zhou Pudu's face turned completely dark.

Cui Yan and Qin Duan also had no luster on their faces.

Chen Fengshen, however, not only wore a smile but remained silent. The incense burner retrieved by Xiao Mu, even if it couldn't end up in his hands, would definitely not fall into Zhou Pudu's.
