"After cultivating 'Opening the Gates of the Underworld', my strength is now by no means inferior to beings such as Eternal Ancestor and Tai Cang City God. If we include the Creation Axe, my power might even exceed theirs."

Xiao Mu's lips curled into a slight smile as he put away the Judge Pen and began walking towards the temple of Yu Wen'en.

"Thank you, Brother Xiao, for helping me dispel 'Opening the Gates of the Underworld'. From today onwards, I no longer have to be confined to the Underworld."

More than ten days later, Yu Wen'en, whose Authority Technique of 'Opening the Gates of the Underworld' was undone, was immensely grateful to Xiao Mu and sincerely thanked him.

Xiao Mu put away the Judge Pen, looked at Yu Wen'en, and sincerely said, "I saved a fellow practitioner merely because we both come from the Human world. As a True God Realm powerhouse, and fated to be a disaster star, your strength is formidable. If you can continue to serve the Human world, you can surely bring benefit to it."

"I hope that you will not fear the shadow of the Tai Cang City God and will continue to stand up and face the Heavenly Court."

Yu Wen'en suddenly bowed his head and was silent for several minutes, then smiled bitterly and said, "Please allow me a few days to consider, Brother. I'm not going to lie, I'm still shadowed by the might of Tai Cang City God."

"I understand your thoughts, take your time to consider," Xiao Mu didn't press Yu Wen'en, believing that as long as he wasn't an enemy of the Human world, he was worth persuading.

After leaving Yu Wen'en's Cave Mansion, Xiao Mu returned to his temporary residence, continuing to monitor Canghua Mountain and protect the Village Protection Team as they excavated the site where Mutated Beings are affected by thunder magic from the Qing Jie Thunder God.

Eventually, three days later, the stone slab leading to the temple where Xiao Mu had been conducting long-term surveillance showed signs of Divine Sense fluctuations.

With a thought, Xiao Mu's Divine Sense transferred and moved onto the deity representation in the temple.

The fluctuations of Divine Sense came from two deity representations opposite each other. The first to speak was the female deity representation, whose Divine Sense was extremely broad and overbearing, covering the entire temple in an instant. The voice formed from the Divine Sense was like rumbling thunder, "Tell the Divine Monarch that the River Lord wishes to eradicate Zhou Xuanmen."

Feeling this cluster of Divine Sense, Xiao Mu was shaken. The River Lord was the Lord of the Nether River, was he planning to encircle and kill Senior Zhou, and was he currently contacting the Karma Divine Monarch?

The male Divine Sense transmitted, "Why does the River Lord want to kill Zhou Xuanmen?"

The domineering female Divine Sense replied, "In the Human world right now, only Zhou Xuanmen stands alone. If Zhou Xuanmen dies, the Human world will collapse. Hence, the River Lord plans to kill Zhou Xuanmen."

"Zhou Xuanmen's strength is not inferior to the River Lord's; the River Lord alone is not enough to kill him, so he wants to enlist the help of the Divine Monarch to encircle Zhou Xuanmen."

The handsome yet frail Dragon Lord male deity representation responded, "I understand. Please relay to the River Lord that I will convey his intent to the Divine Monarch to make a decision."

The authoritative female said, "Encircling Zhou Xuanmen is a major matter; now is the best opportunity. Please insist that the Divine Monarch participate. Otherwise, if the Divine Phoenix woman emerges from seclusion, with her and either a Mansion Lord or the Curse Ancestor joining forces, neither the River Lord nor the Divine Monarch will be able to handle them."

"Rest assured, I will definitely persuade the Divine Monarch to participate," the male promised aloud.

Afterward, both the male and female's Divine Sense disappeared from the deity representations and the temple returned to tranquility.

The Lord of the Nether River and the Karma Divine Monarch are actually planning to join forces to encircle Senior Zhou, this news is crucial, I must inform Senior Zhou as soon as possible to get prepared.

Xiao Mu suddenly became anxious, with his Divine Sense exiting the possessed deity representation and returning to his own body. He immediately took out his cellphone and contacted Zhou Xuanmen.

"Xiao Xiao, what's the matter? Don't come too close to the camera, I can see you."

The call connected, and Zhou Xuanmen held the cellphone in his right hand, extending his arm long and holding the cellphone far away from the camera.

"Heh heh!"

Hearing the reminder, Xiao Mu immediately remembered that this person disliked others being too close to the camera during video calls. He quickly pulled back, distancing himself from the camera, "Senior Zhou, I just received news that the Lord of the Nether River has notified the Karma Divine Monarch about planning to encircle you soon."

"Nether, Karma, encircling me?"

In the video, Zhou Xuanmen appeared surprised by the news, but after a moment of shock, he regained his composure, "I know. I will figure out a way to handle it."

Xiao Mu anxiously inquired, "Senior, do you have a way to handle this?"

Zhou Xuanmen calmly nodded, "Just with the Nether and Karma, trying to encircle me is still lacking a bit; don't worry about me."

Then, the video frame on Xiao Mu's cellphone blinked out, indicating Zhou Xuanmen had ended the video call.

Holding the cellphone, Xiao Mu involuntarily furrowed his brow.

Although Senior Zhou sounded confident, his tone and expression still conveyed concern.

Senior Zhou, though one of the stronger True Gods, clearly could not handle the combined forces of the Lord of the Nether River and the Karma Divine Monarch.

The situation isn't looking very optimistic, no, Senior Zhou must not have any mishaps, the current Human world still relies on Senior Zhou.

Xiao Mu's anxiety suddenly surged, Zhou Xuanmen's displayed calmness only made him more worried about Zhou's situation, a calmness that was clearly feigned.

The Divine Monarch Wu De, I can only seek help from Senior Wu De. Hopefully, Senior Wu De can arrive in time. If he joins forces with Senior Zhou, what would I of the Human world have to fear from the mere Lord of the Nether River and Karma Divine Monarch?

Thinking of the Divine Monarch Wu De, hope surged in Xiao Mu's heart.

A Divine Monarch like Wu De, an Ancient Divine Being, his strength is incomparable to newer Divine Beings. Even in comparison to the head of True Gods like Lord of Bai's Mansion in the past, this being was capable of a battle, let alone the likes of the Lord of the Nether River and the Karma Divine Monarch."
