The Divine Phoenix Lady feigned surprise, "Elder Jin also knows about the secret list?"

"Secret list? Cough, cough, not really!"

Jin Yuan coughed and said with an embarrassed face, "Let's just say, we've determined who can enter the True God Hall for cultivation after discussing it with Elder Jia and me beforehand."

The crowd reacted with an uproar upon hearing this, with many whispering and feeling deeply unjust.

"So there really is a secret list?"

"It turns out there is really a secret list? No wonder I signed up but was not qualified to enter the core area of the True God Hall for cultivation, only to get some minor benefits on the periphery."

"You're lucky to get any benefits on the periphery; I don't even have the qualifications for that."

"Shameless!"

"Truly disgraceful!"

The Divine Phoenix Lady ignored the noise of the onlookers, stared at Jin Yuan, and asked sternly, "So, the so-called secret list really exists?"

"Exist? Jin Yuan shook his head and said, "Not really, that list does exist, but strictly speaking, it can't be called a secret list."

"Before opening the True God Hall, Elder Jia specifically discussed with me, and we both agreed that entering the True God Hall for cultivation consumes a large amount of resources each time."

"The resources consumed are too much. If everyone could use it, how could it be sustained?"

"In the end, after our discussion, we selected the nineteen most qualified individuals who are most likely to break through into the True God Realm, and put them on the list for focused cultivation."

"Ridiculous!"

Xiao Mu suddenly interjected, sneering, "If we talk about the most qualified person to enter the True God Realm, who in the entire Alliance can compare to me, Xiao Mu? Who can stand side by side with me, Xiao Mu?"

"Since Elder Jin and Elder Jia discussed selecting the most qualified person to step into the True God Realm, why am I, Xiao Mu, not on the list?"

"To deliberately remove me, Xiao Mu, from the list, and to say it's not targeting me, then what is targeting?"

Jin Yuan glanced at Xiao Mu, remaining expressionless, "Xiao Mu, initially, your name was on the list, and it was even near the top. However, once the list was made, Elder Jia and I unanimously felt that although your talent is high, you are too arrogant and disrespectful towards your seniors. If you become a True God, it would certainly bring chaos to the Alliance and cause trouble."

"After some discussion, we decided to remove you, Xiao Mu, from the list."

"Shameless!"

Xiao Mu cursed angrily, and immediately said to the Divine Phoenix Lady, "Divine Phoenix Lady Senior, did you hear that, this is what the dignified chief elder said. They have clearly targeted me, Xiao Mu, yet they try to make it sound legitimate, as if they are considering the Alliance's best interest. Divine Phoenix Lady Senior, please seek justice for me."

"For the Alliance, I, Xiao Mu, have made great contributions, yet I am being so targeted, making one's heart feel cold. If the Alliance treats its contributors like this, who would still be willing to make contributions for the Alliance?"

The Divine Phoenix Lady, hearing Xiao Mu's words, instead of being pleased, frowned.

Jin Yuan responding like this was obviously determined not to care about face.

And as for her, if Jin Yuan set his mind to being shameless, she truly had no way to deal with him.

Though she is the Alliance leader, representing the Human Emperor, holding the Human Emperor Seal, she can't control Jin Yuan, not even Jia Ming.

The Divine Phoenix Lady, with a dark face, said to Jin Yuan, "So, it seems there is indeed a targeting of Xiao Mu?"

"Indeed, there is." Jin Yuan actually nodded, admitting it.

This made the Divine Phoenix Lady frown even deeper and angrily asked, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Jin Yuan chuckled, "Xiao Mu is extremely arrogant, even without being targeted, no one could handle him. If he knew we were intentionally targeting him, who could manage him then?"

"But since the Divine Phoenix Lady thinks Xiao Mu shouldn't be targeted, it wouldn't be a big deal to just add his name to the end of the list."

The Divine Phoenix Lady seemed surprised that Jin Yuan would be so agreeable; hearing this, she turned to Xiao Mu for confirmation.

Xiao Mu immediately said, "Divine Phoenix Lady Senior, they are deliberately delaying my stepping into the True God Realm. The list already has nineteen people, each with a three-month cultivation period, adding up to fifty-seven months, nearly five years."

"They want to postpone my time to enter the True God Realm by five years."

The Divine Phoenix Lady immediately realized, her face showing anger.

Looking at Jin Yuan, she said, "Elder Jin, isn't this excessive? Xiao Mu is about to step into the True God Realm, and such an arrangement by Elder Jin will inevitably delay his time to become a True God?"

Jin Yuan, having decided to be shameless, had no more worries, "Divine Phoenix Lady is wrong; Xiao Mu is about to step into the True God Realm, and aren't the others as well?"

"Xiao Mu stepping into the True God Realm contributes to the Alliance, and so do the others."

"Divine Phoenix Lady, as the steward of the True God Hall, Elder Jia does have the authority to make the list, doesn't he? If the Divine Phoenix Lady intervenes, don't you think it's overstepping?"

Jin Yuan, as he spoke, suddenly had a firmer tone.

The Divine Phoenix Lady deeply frowned at these words.

Jin Yuan had a point, leaving her with no options.

As Jin Yuan said, although she has great power, she really can't control the True God Hall, at most apply pressure from elsewhere on the True God Hall.

If Jia Ming was determined to hold Xiao Mu back from the cultivation list for the True God Hall, she truly had no way to handle him.

After all, the True God Hall is not under her management.

And for such a minor issue, it wouldn't be appropriate to bother the Human Emperor.

Moreover, since the Human Emperor has just revived and needs to recuperate, it is likely he doesn't wish to order the eight elders right now.

"Hahaha!"

Xiao Mu suddenly let out a loud sneer, "Elder Jin, Elder Jia, it seems you are determined to block my time to step into the True God Realm."

Jia Ming responded, "Xiao Mu, if you choose to think that way, that's up to you, but this Grand Elder is clear of conscience."

"You want to cultivate in the True God Hall, this Grand Elder will also accommodate you, but you need to line up like everyone else."

"You, Xiao Mu, if you don't want to wait in line, this Grand Elder has no way."

"In any case, this elder cannot indulge you. Of course, you have significant contributions to the Alliance and deserve some privileges. If you feel that the waiting time to enter the True God Hall's core area is too long, you can choose not to enter the core area but to cultivate in the fringe area."

"If you are willing to cultivate in the fringe area, this Grand Elder can fulfill that anytime, allowing you to enter whenever you wish."

"Xiao Xiao, let's go!"

The Divine Phoenix Lady suddenly called Xiao Mu with a stern face.

It's true, she really can't manage the affairs of the True God Hall.

However, the True God Hall bullying her people, do they really think she has no way out?

Even if she can't control the True God Hall's internal affairs, it doesn't mean she can't apply pressure otherwise.

As the Alliance leader, she oversees the entire Alliance's resource allocation and monitors the situation of each Grand Elder.

Regarding resource allocation alone, doesn't the True God Hall need resources to open?

Those resources need her approval to be passed. At that time, she just needs to hold back the resources and not release them to the True God Hall.

Let's see how the True God Hall, without resources for cultivation, will open the hall and allow the Variants to enter for cultivation.

"Wait, Divine Phoenix Lady Senior."

Xiao Mu suddenly called out to the Divine Phoenix Lady, looking at Jin Yuan, Jia Ming, sneering, "Elder Jin, Elder Jia, do you think by deliberately targeting me and delaying my entry into the True God Hall, you can stop me from entering the True God Realm?"

"The True God Hall is the passage for those at the Peak of the Divine Spirit Realm to enter the True God Realm, only accessible to Divine Spirits."

Xiao Mu, as he spoke, walked away from the Divine Phoenix Lady, heading straight toward the True God Hall.

"I am allegedly not qualified to enter the core area of the True God Hall; I would like to see who can pass me by to enter the core area of the True God Hall."

Xiao Mu, speaking as he walked to the entrance of the True God Hall.

At this moment, the True God Hall has not yet opened; there are no cultivators inside.

Xiao Mu walked directly into the True God Hall, sitting down at the spot leading to the core area.

He sat in the position where the passage to the core area of the True God Hall opens, directly facing the passage within the True God Hall.

Due to its special nature, the True God Hall can only be entered by Divine Spirits.
