"Zhou Xuanmen pays respects to Elder Jin!"

Zhou Xuanmen greeted the hemp-robed elder with clasped hands.

This Elder Jin, named Jin Yuan, held the Thunder God Position, and although his Realm had already entered the Peak of True God Realm, he was just a step away from the Heavenly God Realm.

However, due to the lack of a True God Position, he was unable to step into the Heavenly God Realm despite his Realm being sufficient.

"Good!"

Brandishing his staff, Elder Jin returned the gesture to Zhou Xuanmen, acknowledging the courtesy before promptly asking, "Why ring the Summoning God Bell?"

Zhou Xuanmen's expression was solemn as he breathed out a few words, "Meng Xuantong descended to the Human world!"

"What?"

Jin Yuan was visibly shaken, his face immediately taking on a grave expression, "Call a meeting!"

His voice thundered forth, transforming into tangible sound waves, descending like a vast cauldron from the sky, covering the entire Alliance Station in an instant.

"Meeting, meeting..."

Jin Yuan's voice echoed throughout the Alliance.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Escape Lights converged from all directions as each Grand Elder of the Alliance entered the meeting venue; together with Jin Yuan and Zhou Xuanmen, there were nine in total.

Among these nine Elders, only Zhou Xuanmen was a True God, the rest, including Jin Yuan, were Divine Spirits.

But in fact, most of these Elders were True Gods during Ancient Times. They acknowledged the authority of the Human Emperor, not that of the Heavenly Court, for the authority of the Human Emperor was lost due to his slumber.

In the meeting place, the Elders took their seats one by one, gathering around Elder Jin as the centerpiece, eventually forming a semicircle.

Zhou Xuanmen then took his seat second to the last on the right.

"Zhou Xuanmen, for what matter did you ring the Summoning God Bell?"

As soon as everyone was settled, Grand Elder Qi Gu, who was sitting first on the left and looking quite the distinguished middle-aged man, inquired.

This Grand Elder Qi exuded the air of a door god, holding the door god position with a Realm at the Peak of True God Realm, just like Elder Jin Yuan.

"Allow me to explain."

Jin Yuan took over the conversation in place of Zhou Xuanmen, "Meng Xuantong descended, appearing in the Dalin Abyss."

"What? Meng Xuantong?"

"Meng Xuantong has descended? What does he intend to do, seize the Life and Death Seal?"

"This Meng Xuantong, already in the Heavenly God Realm, possesses an immensely powerful Realm and Position. It is said that he is no ordinary Divine Monarch of Guobao; whereas the common ones possess five Divine Treasures and cultivate three types of combat methods, he has cultivated at least seven different types."

...

Many Elders changed their expression, and murmurs began to spread among the crowd.

This so-called Meng Xuantong was too mighty.

Most of the Elders were antique survivals from Ancient Times, each keenly aware of this formidable figure of old and his strength.

Divine Spirits begin to cultivate combat methods that rely purely on authority for their power, only displaying their full strength when they reach the status of True Gods.

An average True God, restricted by their own authority, can only cultivate three types of combat methods. Those who can cultivate four are considered elite, five indicate great talent, while six denote a genius.

Meng Xuantong was such an individual, and the reason he had been able to cultivate seven types was not only because his authority far exceeded that of common Mutated Beings but primarily because he had already ascended to the Heavenly God Realm.

"Silence!"

Grand Elder Fei Xuan, holding the Netherlord Position and sitting first on the right, raised his hand, tempering the restless atmosphere and turning to Zhou Xuanmen, "Zhou Xuanmen, you've suddenly returned to Headquarters and rung the Summoning God Bell, what are you planning to do?"

Zhou Xuanmen stood up, "Elder Fei, and all Elders, my request is simple. First, the Headquarters should dispatch powerful individuals to join us in confronting the Heavenly Court and prevent them from obtaining the Life and Death Seal."

"Second, the Headquarters should allocate a portion of resources to enhance the strength of those who will participate in the battle, striving to train as many completely authoritative Divine Spirits as possible before the war with the Heavenly Court begins."

"This..."

Fei Xuan pondered.

The venue fell silent all of a sudden, the Elders stopped speaking.

"How so? Can't you provide them? Or you don't want to?"

Zhou Xuanmen got angry; he stepped forward suddenly, leaving his seat to stand at the center of the venue, his gaze sweeping over everyone.

"Cough cough! Old Zhou, don't rush, don't be furious; this is a grave matter that needs to be discussed thoroughly. Besides, with your urgency, can it solve the problem?"

Fei Xuan coughed to intervene, offering words of appeasement.

"Solve the problem? Right now, it's my people who are holding back the Heavenly Court, not all of you. If everyone is unwilling to make an effort, fine, then I will lead my people to retreat and see if the Heavenly Court will come to attack."

Angered, Zhou Xuanmen's face darkened and his fury was palpable.

"Old Zhou, don't always speak in such an aggravated manner."

Grand Elder Qi Gu, sitting first on the left, interjected, "Help, how can you be so sure we refuse to help? Being Mutated Beings of the Human world, how could we sit idly by while the Heavenly Court invades? Let's do this, outline your demands, specify which resources you need, what sort of help you require?"

Zhou Xuanmen glanced at Qi Gu, his anger unabated, bluntly responding, "Since Elder Qi puts it that way, I shall not hold back."

"I require five complete sets of Divine Spirit Treasures; additionally, I need five True Gods from the True God Realm to assist us in battle."

Grand Elder Qi Gu fell silent, and the whole meeting room suddenly quieted down, all the Elders ceased to speak, and even their breathing could be heard.

"Cough cough!"

Finally, after not too long, Jin Yuan spoke up. He addressed Zhou Xuanmen, "People are easy to discuss. We can dispatch Divine Spirits from the Headquarters and elsewhere to fill the True God Realm positions. But Old Zhou, you should know, Divine Treasures are hard to come by; the Alliance's Warehouse has long been empty. Currently, we can't even provide a complete set, let alone five."
