I Made The World Mutate

The Divine Phoenix woman looked seriously at Xiao Mu, "The information you provided is very important. I will have someone keep an eye on related news."

Xiao Mu couldn't help but say, "Senior, if there's any news, don't forget to let me know."

"What? You're interested in the Reincarnation Seal?" The Divine Phoenix woman was surprised by his words.

Xiao Mu nodded, "The Reincarnation Seal comes from Senior Miaoyi the Emperor. Senior Miaoyi has helped the human world a lot. Last time in the Creation Space, if not for Miaoyi's timely intervention, expelling Emperor Taijia at great personal cost, our human world might have already been occupied by Taijia."

"Senior Miaoyi has a great kindness to our human world. I think, if there's a chance, I will repay this senior and try to find the Reincarnation Seal for him, to help this senior be resurrected."

"Being sentimental is a good thing!"

The Divine Phoenix woman nodded, but suddenly asked Xiao Mu, "But have you ever thought that the Miaoyi you know is just a remnant thought, and the resurrected Miaoyi is the true person. Can you guarantee that the true Miaoyi will still recognize you?"

"This..."

Xiao Mu was stunned for a moment. If it wasn't for the Divine Phoenix woman's question, he hadn't really considered this situation.

"The remnant thought of Miaoyi and the real Miaoyi are completely different things."

The Divine Phoenix woman continued, "Because it's just a remnant thought, akin to a small piece of cognition in the mind, the Miaoyi you know might just be a small part of Miaoyi's subconscious personality."

"This small part of the personality might be completely opposite in character to the real Miaoyi."

"Xiao Xiao, you want to help Miaoyi, but you might end up creating a powerful enemy instead."

"This..."

Xiao Mu was stunned again, bowing his head in thought, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

A faint, almost imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of the Divine Phoenix woman's eyes, and she suddenly said, "Regretting it?"

At this point, Xiao Mu suddenly raised his head determinedly, "It's not about regret, really. Regardless of what Miaoyi becomes, his help to me was real. Helping him leaves me with a clear conscience. As for whether Miaoyi will become an enemy in the end, that's not something I should be considering right now."

"When I see someone hit by a car on the road, I can't refuse to call for emergency help just because I don't know if they're a good or bad person."

"Heh heh!"

The Divine Phoenix woman chuckled lightly, feeling she had gained more understanding of Xiao Mu, and she changed the topic, no longer discussing it.

"Go back and prepare a bit. Tomorrow, you're meeting the Human Emperor. You've uncovered the reason for the Heavenly Court's actions in the Great Tang Ruins, which balances your merits and demerits. Privately fighting with Lei Zhanghua, this matter can be let go."

"However, with Liu Yan, there might still be some trouble. The eight Grand Elders won't let it go easily. As the party involved, you ought to prepare beforehand."

"Liu Yan?"

Surprised, Xiao Mu said disdainfully, "Based on Liu Yan's behavior in the Great Tang Ruins, along with the negligence in the hidden space, do the eight Grand Elders still have the nerve to stand up for him?"

The Divine Phoenix woman looked indifferent, "Of course, there's dissatisfaction, but no matter what that Liu Yan has done, he's still one of the eight Grand Elders' people, and a relative of Yan Ming. If Yan Ming doesn't protect him, who will be willing to serve him in the future, or join his household?"

"However, don't worry. Generally, it's just a formality. With the severity of Liu Yan's crimes, if the eight Grand Elders can still overturn it, that would be truly strange."

Xiao Mu nodded, feeling considerably assured after hearing the Divine Phoenix woman's words.

Thinking for a moment, he couldn't resist asking, "Divine Phoenix senior, I have another question I'd like to seek your advice on."

"Speak!" The Divine Phoenix woman's words were succinct and straightforward.

Xiao Mu said, "It's about reaching the later stage of True Gods. Senior, to enter the late stage of True Gods and condense the temple, besides needing the two rare materials, Ink Soil and Green Wood, are there any other conditions required?"

"Why ask this question suddenly? You're still far from condensing a temple, aren't you?"

The Divine Phoenix woman was quite surprised, staring at Xiao Mu, her eyes focusing, she suddenly exclaimed, "Could it be you have obtained Ink Soil and Green Wood?"

"I've had some good luck."

Xiao Mu's face broke into a smile, and as he spoke, he took out the Ink Soil and Green Wood he obtained from Guo You to show the Divine Phoenix woman, briefly explaining the process of how he acquired them.

"You're indeed quite lucky!"

The Divine Phoenix woman sighed softly, "Ink Soil and Green Wood are not easy to come by. Some people spend tens of thousands of years without getting them, yet you got them so easily."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but sigh and look at Xiao Mu with a touch more peculiarity.

This kid's luck is really something!

But soon, the Divine Phoenix woman carefully explained to Xiao Mu, "Reaching the later stage of True Gods is different from the previous stages of cultivation, especially the condensation of the temple."

"From the later stage of True Gods, it involves the cultivation of Divine Sense. Condensing the temple gathers the Divine Spirits."

"Condensing the temple in a general environment is difficult since it involves Divine Sense and requires a special force to forge it."

"Special force?"

Xiao Mu was intrigued.

What exactly was this special force? The Power of Chaos? The Power of Creation?

The Divine Phoenix woman nodded, seemingly guessing Xiao Mu's thoughts, and smiled, "It's not the kind of power you're imagining, but some sort of atmosphere, or rather, a kind of environment. For example, the Desolate Land, the Unknown Area, the Place of Birth."

"These places supposedly have certain special forces present, which are different from the Power of Chaos, Power of Creation, the Five Elements Power, or Yin Yang Power, yet can nourish a person's Divine Soul, make the temple solid, and elevate Divine Sense, eventually entering the later stage of True Gods."

"Therefore, if you reach the Peak of the True Gods mid-stage and successfully condense your temple, you might try visiting these places, using their unique topography to elevate your Divine Sense and break into the later stage of True Gods."

"I understand, thank you, senior. After meeting the Human Emperor tomorrow, I'll prepare to go into closed-door cultivation, bringing my cultivation to the Peak of the True Gods mid-stage while successfully condensing the temple. Then, I'll visit one of the places you mentioned."

Following this, the Divine Phoenix woman and Xiao Mu discussed some matters likely to happen when meeting the Human Emperor at the Floating Sky Hall, and how the eight Grand Elders might react. After planning strategies, she let Xiao Mu return.

Xiao Mu returned to his Tai Mie Mountain.

Tai Mie Mountain hadn't started its renovation yet, but Xiao Mu was in no rush. However, this time, he felt he might never have the time to focus on building Tai Mie Mountain again, and couldn't help but smile wryly.

His strength progressed too quickly, and almost all his time aside from cultivation was spent running around, making it impossible to free his hands for the renovation like others.

Xiao Mu meditated at the base of Tai Mie Mountain, waiting for the next day to come, preparing to meet the Human Emperor.

※※※

On Qing Ancient Divine Mountain, where Jin Yuan's mansion was located.

Aside from Lei Zhanghua, who was being suppressed under Qilin Cliff, the other seven Grand Elders were gathered to discuss matters related to Liu Yan.

"Damn it, Wu Jie dared to arrest Liu Yan, dismiss him from his position, and suppress him. Doesn't he know Liu Yan is my 73rd generation grandson's grandson?"

Grand Elder Yan Ming was seething with anger.

"Old Yan, calm down!"

Chief Grand Elder Jin Yuan raised a hand towards Yan Ming, his voice calm, "I've inquired, and at the scene, it wasn't just Xiao Mu; the Divine Phoenix woman and Zhou Xuanmen were also present. Wu Jie had no choice but to make this decision. Otherwise, he might not have dared to risk offending you, Old Yan, by capturing your descendant."

Yan Ming's anger did not abate, "Either way, this matter has surely tarnished my reputation."

"Elder Jin, we cannot endure this anymore. The Divine Phoenix woman's side, time and again, targets us. We've suffered losses in every encounter."

"First, Xiao Mu killed Chen Ming, then caused Old Lei to be suppressed. It's hardly been any time, and now they've targeted me."

"Chief Elder Jin, we cannot endure any longer. If we continue to endure, I'm afraid we'll all end up falling at Xiao Mu's hands."

Yan Ming's tone was filled with a strong sense of crisis.

"Indeed, Chief Elder Jin, action is needed. We can't endure it any longer."

The other five Grand Elders suddenly spoke in chorus, agreeing with Yan Ming.
