Xiao Mu, with a pained expression, took out the Creation Axe, waved it toward himself, and with a flash of white light, his location instantly switched to the main road heading west from the Talisman Shop. Ahead were footprints marked by water stains.

These footprints continued to move westward.

"The guy from the Fate System is not simple, should I ask Senior Zhou to help deal with him?"

Then Xiao Mu immediately shook his head, "No need, unless the opponent is a True God, possessing the Creation Axe means I shouldn't be afraid."

"Besides, how would the spoils be divided if I ask Senior Zhou to help? If we could strip the Divine Spirit's position from the Fate System, would it belong to Senior Zhou or to me?"

Various thoughts flashed through Xiao Mu's mind and after a moment of struggle, he suddenly waved his right hand into the air, gathering the True Force in the air, slowly condensing a Metal Mirror in his hand with the Power of Five Elements True Gold.

Xiao Mu, holding the mirror, directed it towards the road ahead.

The reflection effect of the mirror was exceptionally clear, reflecting the scenes on the road with great clarity.

Xiao Mu looked into the mirror's reflection, and to his surprise, the spots on the ground that initially had water stains now appeared devoid of them in the mirror, while another set of footprints, invisible on the ground, appeared in the mirror.

In just this short moment, Fate had once again twisted Xiao Mu's perception, almost leading him in the wrong direction yet again. Fortunately, the timely generated mirror reflected the true path.

Xiao Mu no longer looked at the ground but followed the footprints in the mirror.

Fang Min's Spiritual Consciousness was not moving too fast, but not slow either. His consciousness was like Yin Spirits, floating as it traveled.

Gradually, Xiao Mu realized that Fang Min was headed directly west, towards the direction of the Dalin Abyss.

"Could it be such a coincidence? Could the person controlling Fang Min also be around Canghua Mountain?"

A bizarre thought flashed through Xiao Mu's mind, and a few hours later, it turned out to be true.

Fang Min actually did reach Canghua Mountain and then started climbing from the foot of the mountain upward.

Canghua Mountain includes five ancient peaks, with complex terrain. The mid-mountain and peaks are filled with both deep and shallow ravines, intertwining strange rocks and rare trees, exuding an ancient and primal aura.

The mountain is vast, and the part of Fang Min's Spiritual Consciousness is heading towards one of the sloping hills.

Xiao Mu closely followed, gradually feeling the increase of Yin Qi around him, as cold wind whizzed past him.

Looking around, Xiao Mu suddenly opened his mouth and expelled a mouthful of Five Elements True Water.

Puff!

The Five Elements True Water scattered around, suddenly creating many footprints marked with water stains on the ground, at least dozens of them.

The water-stained footprints were messy but all headed in the same direction, climbing towards the peak of the mountain along with Fang Min.

Xiao Mu followed closely, gazing through the mirror at the path.

Half an hour later, these water-stained footprints simultaneously vanished halfway up the mountain.

Xiao Mu stopped where the water stains disappeared, opened his Spiritual Eye, and looked down to the ground.

A moment later, he suddenly closed his Spiritual Eye, extended his Changeable Divine Technique, and merged directly into the ground, beginning to sink downwards using the Earth Escape Technique combined with his Changeable Divine Technique.

"Crack!"

Down below, about several miles in, the Five Elements True Gold Mirror in Xiao Mu's hand suddenly shattered.

Composed, Xiao Mu took out the Creation Axe again and waved it, scattering white light around, and a small temple appeared before him.

The temple doors were wide open, inside, dozens of ordinary people's spiritual consciousness was offering incense to the deity enshrined in the temple.

Incense fire smoke rose up, filling the entire temple.

Suddenly, a helpless voice came from the deity above, "If I say I have never harmed anyone and while controlling ordinary people to maintain incense for me, I always gave them benefits in return, would you believe me?"

"Are you a person from the Human world or from the Heavenly Court?" Xiao Mu looked at the deity.

The deity, modeled after a Perfected person, appeared to be in his early forties, with a kind appearance.

"I, like you, am a member of the Human world lineage. Could you spare me for the sake of being from the same lineage?" Incense fire surged, and a figure slowly emerged from beneath the temple ground.

This person looked identical to a Divine Spirit in appearance, but acted very cautiously, keeping a distance from Xiao Mu.

However, the Spiritual Energy around this person was condensed, exuding a dignified thickness, so much so that Xiao Mu knew at a glance that this person was a Divine Spirit Level powerhouse. Moreover, this person faintly radiated the aura of a True God Realm powerhouse, undoubtedly having stepped into the True God Realm.

This person's strength might be higher than mine.

Xiao Mu stared at the other, asking, "What Divine Spirit are you in the Fate System?"

"I am the Star of Calamity."

Facing Xiao Mu's question, the man dared not conceal anything, responding quickly, then suddenly added, "I see your strength is almost equal to mine. The beings from beyond the Human world who have entered are growing stronger every day, and many Mutated Beings have died in the struggle against those external forces. Why don't you hide with me to avoid being killed by them?"

Xiao Mu frowned slightly, disdaining the Divine Spirit man's unexpected suggestion and cowardly behavior.

Quietly on guard, "Are you a Mutated Being from the Human Alliance?"

The man shook his head, "I have not joined the Alliance. Are you from the Alliance?"

"I am."

Xiao Mu frowned, "As a True God Realm powerhouse with the Star of Calamity title, why are you not willing to serve the Alliance?"

"I have my difficulties," the man smiled bitterly again.

Difficulties? Is hiding your difficulty? Fearing death your difficulty?

Xiao Mu disapproved of the man's words and actions, "What is your name?"

"I am Yu Wen'en," the man carefully uttered a name.

Xiao Mu thought for a bit, recalling that there indeed was no Mutated Being from the Fate System named Yu Wen'en in the Alliance, then he continued, "How long have you hidden here, and do you plan to keep hiding like this?"

Yu Wen'en sighed, "You don't know my difficulties, nor understand the strength of the external Mutated Beings."

"Are there True Gods entering from outside now? How many? Two? Three? With so many True God powerhouses, does our Human world have the strength to resist? Who will resist? Who has the capability to resist?"

"Not to mention, after True Gods, there are Heavenly Gods."

"Once a Heavenly God descends, exerting supreme methods, who can resist? Human Emperor has fallen into a deep sleep, with no known time of awakening, Lord of White Mansion is nowhere to be found, there really is no one in the Human world who can bear the responsibility."

"You seem to know quite a bit about the Human world," Xiao Mu fixed his gaze on Yu Wen'en. From his words, he deduced that this Yu Wen'en was not someone completely uninvolved with the Human world.

"Cough, cough! Just learned a little," Yu Wen'en replied, somewhat embarrassed.

Xiao Mu calmly said, "Since you know about the Human world, do you know how many Lord of Mansion positions there are, how many partial divine system True God roles, and how many Divine Spirit roles in total?"

"This…" Yu Wen'en hesitated.

Xiao Mu solemnly added, "There are eight Lord of Mansion positions, thirteen partial divine system True God positions. Sixty-four City God positions, and a total of ninety-seven partial divine system Divine Spirit positions."

"Once the Heavenly Court occupies Human world, and the new Heavenly Court is established, the new Heavenly Emperor will surely reclaim all positions, recasting the Emperor's Might, integrating all positions into his own Emperor Authority. Do you think the new Heavenly Emperor will specifically reserve a Star of Calamity position for you, thereby compromising his own authority?"

Yu Wen'en's face paled, and after a while, he said unwillingly, "As long as I hide well, the Heavenly Court may not be able to find me."

Xiao Mu smirked dismissively, "Even I can find you, do you think the Heavenly Gods and Divine Spirits of the Heavenly Court can't?"

Yu Wen'en fell silent.

"You may not resist the Heavenly Court, but this way of hiding is really contemptible."

Xiao Mu waved his hand, angrily retorted, "Although the Heavenly Court's powerhouses are strong, the Human world may not be unable to resist. Human Emperor, although fallen into sleep, will soon awaken."

"Emperor Taija is powerful, but not necessarily stronger than Human Emperor."

"Although there are many True Gods in the Heavenly Court, there are also many brave beings in our Human world."

"If you wish to keep hiding, continue hiding, but please don't harm ordinary humans of the Human world; otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
