Upon releasing his City God aspect, Xiao Mu continuously took out and stowed the Judge Pen and the Book of Life and Death, finely sensing the differences within.
Soon, he perceived the differences.
As a City God, he inherently possessed the power to control life and death, but this power would be enhanced by the Book of Life and Death and the Judge Pen.
"The City God controls life and death, but previously when I utilized this power, I relied on the Book of Life and Death and the Judge Pen, so the power was limited."
"The Book of Life and Death and the Judge Pen are after all just external objects. The real basis lies in the City God's own authority. Next, I need to find a way to develop my own strength."
Thinking about developing his own authority, Xiao Mu couldn't help but shake his head with regret a moment later. Although he wanted to develop his own power, alas, he had no corresponding Secret Manual.
