Then let them offer their loyalty!

"This power will be stored within the 'Heavenly Dao,' and when it is activated, it will prioritize drawing power from this pool."

"Therefore, theoretically, as long as the cost of changing the rules of 'Heavenly Dao' does not exceed the upper limit of this 'pool,' and 'Heavenly Dao' is not overused, then no additional cost will be required for a lifetime."

Upon hearing Elena's words, Qiu Tu's face showed a look of sudden realization.

The four giants had actually devised such a clever design.

They essentially bound the "Way of Heaven" to all the deities in the "Temple".

When they want to fulfill a certain wish, one deity may not be able to do it, but countless "deities of order" can manage it.

In peacetime, the rules and order of the "temple" itself can slowly nourish the "Heavenly Way," allowing it to grow and accumulate power.

Therefore, in theory, as long as the "Temple of Order" exists for a long enough time, the power of the "Heavenly Dao" will also grow without limit, eventually becoming a terrifying secret weapon that can truly control the entire world order.

It has to be said that after learning about the four giants' ingenious ideas, Qiu Tu couldn't help but feel a little admiration.

Previously, he felt that compared to the "Chaotic Path" which was inclusive and integrated with the six major paths, the "Heavenly Path" was much weaker, being an external secret weapon.

But now, he feels that... "Heaven's Way" is truly a great innovation.

This is a concept of "gathering the power of many" that is rarely considered in the extraordinary world where "great power belongs to oneself."

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but think of the Ink God King.

Actually... as early as when Qiu Tu guessed that the Ink God King was not telling him the truth, he had already guessed that the Ink God King was probably not deceiving him, but only telling him part of the truth to mislead him.

This is a very classic method of concealing the truth.

Following this line of thought, Qiu Tu naturally moved on to the second topic.

"My lord, if the 'Heavenly Dao' wants to continue to strengthen, will it require sacrifices from other high-ranking god-kings?"

"What exactly is the plan of the four lords this time? Do they really intend to hunt down high-ranking god-kings from other sources?"

Elena did not answer Qiu Tu's question directly.

As if guessing what the Ink God King had said to Qiu Tu, she hesitated for two seconds before suddenly saying, "Qing'e, you've been pressing on my waist for so long, it's almost broken. Aren't you going to move it a little?"

At this moment, Qing'e was still listening to Qiu Tu and Elena's conversation while pressing on Elena's waist.

Perhaps because she had just been teased by the two men, her mind was completely focused on rehearsing how to retaliate. This resulted in her pressing on Elena's waist for a long time without moving.

Therefore, upon hearing Elena's words, Qing'e suddenly realized what was happening.

She quickly said "oh oh" twice, then straightened up and reached out her hand to Elena's shoulder.

However, her figure is noticeably smaller than that of the mature Elena, so it's inevitable that reaching out to massage her is a bit uncomfortable.

So... she exerted a little force and tried to slide upwards.

Despite her seemingly lazy and carefree nature, Elena's skin is as smooth as porcelain thanks to both her excellent physique and proper skincare.

This caused Qing'e's buttocks to slide smoothly forward onto Elena's waist.

However... after all this, Qing'e didn't feel anything unusual, and Elena didn't sense any problem either, but Qiu Tu was dumbfounded.

It's unclear whether Qing'e was soaking in the wine pool for too long, leaving wine residue on her legs, or... something really happened to her.

Anyway, in Qiu Tu's view, she slid down, leaving a clear trail of water on Elena's back. It looked exactly like Qing'e's younger sister crawling like a snail on Elena's back...

Such a beautiful sight made Qiu Tu swallow hard, and his gaze involuntarily drifted to Qing'e's figure beneath her bathrobe.

'This girl... isn't wearing a bra?'

Chapter 856 Qiu Tu: Qing'e, you don't want Elena to know either, do you? (Seeking monthly votes)

Qiu Tu was a perceptive person by nature. After so many years of training on the secret front, he was already an expert at finding key information from the smallest clues.

Therefore, when Qiu Tu discovered that Qing'e was dressed so "revealingly," his first reaction was to begin to suspect the relationship between Elena and Qing'e.

Qiu Tu hadn't forgotten: before Elena arrived, he accidentally pulled Qing'e into his arms, and when Qing'e realized it was him, she was very surprised and terrified.

This shows that... Qing'e did not know that it was herself in the wine pool at that time, and did not come to throw herself into his arms voluntarily.

And following this line of reasoning: Qing'e came to the wine pool tonight clearly to see Elena.

The fact that she was dressed so "revealingly" when she met Elena suggests that the two women had always interacted in this way before.

'The relationship between these two women is definitely not ordinary...'

Although it's unclear whether the two people actually like lilies, Qiu Tu feels obligated to help them verify or correct their orientation.

After all, if two such beautiful women really got together, wouldn't the men of this world... no, wouldn't I lose two close female confidantes?

Thinking this, Qiu Tu slightly adjusted his position, and then his hand, along with Qing'e's, adjusted the massage position for Elena.

Originally, because Qing'e had arrived, Qiu Tu changed his massage routine from his back to his thighs.

As a result, Qing'e moved up, and his hand followed her up to her waist.

Qiu Tu was never still during massages. So even when his hands moved up to the edge of the pool, Elena, who was enjoying the massage, didn't notice anything amiss.

But just because she didn't notice anything unusual doesn't mean that Qing'e didn't notice anything unusual.

At first, Qing'e was still obediently massaging Elena.

As she continued pressing, she began to feel something was wrong:

Wasn't I massaging Elena with Qiu Tu? Why... does Qiu Tu seem to be touching my butt?

At first, Qing'e thought she was being overly sensitive or had misunderstood.

After all, Elena's back is such a small area, so it's normal for two people to have some physical contact or collisions when massaging her.

But gradually, she realized that something was wrong.

Because at first Qiu Tu was still under his buttocks, massaging Elena's waist, with the back of his hand occasionally touching his buttocks.

But gradually, Qiu Tu's hand turned over and began to slide around in his buttocks!

The technique was exactly the same as the one Qiu Tu used to massage her a couple of days ago.

To be honest, at that moment, Qing'e really wanted to turn around and stop Qiu Tu.

After all... it's one thing to invite him for a massage. It's quite another for him to show up uninvited and give you a massage!

However, just as she was about to turn around, Qiu Tu suddenly stopped, his hand sliding back and forth while he transmitted his thoughts through mental energy, "Qing'e...you don't want Lady Elena to know about our affair, do you?"

In that instant, Qing'e's face turned bright red.

After all... although her reason for seeking a massage from Qiu Tu stemmed from Elena, she realized on the day of her massage with Qiu Tu that she might have misunderstood.

This made her feel a little guilty every time she faced Elena—although she had also improved her strength, it always felt like she had stolen something from Elena.

This meant that Qiu Tu's words really got her under control.

So although she was ashamed and angry, she dared not resist Qiu Tu's "threat" any longer.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but smile.

Little Qing'e, easily handled~

Meanwhile, as Qiu Tu, that cheapskate, was secretly getting a massage, Elena finally spoke up to answer Qiu Tu's question.

She said, "Qiu Tu...can I trust you?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu put away his smile and replied seriously, "Of course."

After saying that, he smiled and said, "Sir, given our relationship, you shouldn't have any doubts about this issue."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Elena lazily replied, "I've always kept public and private matters separate."

Sleeping with you and telling you secrets are two completely unrelated things.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu replied, "Then we are indeed a bit different."

"For me, any woman who has shown me loyalty is someone I trust 100%."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Elena couldn't help but laugh. She said, "But you haven't pledged your loyalty to me."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu replied decisively, "If you wish, sir, I can offer my loyalty to you tonight!"

Upon hearing this, Elena laughed even harder. She lay there giggling and said, "I hope you are truly offering me your loyalty, and not some strange thing."

Qing'e: ? ?

Although Qing'e is simple-minded, she is not stupid. On the contrary, she is quite perceptive.

She felt something was off when the two were talking.

Now that she had heard the two of them talk, she immediately imagined the choking sensation when she drank Qiu Tu's soy milk.

She couldn't help but shout in her heart, "Wait! This isn't the car I'm supposed to get on!"

Qiu Tu and Elena, of course, couldn't hear what she was thinking. So while she was lost in thought, they naturally moved on to the next topic.

Elena closed her eyes, lay there, and said, "Since you've said that, I'll believe you this once."

She said, "The plans of the four Your Majesties are indeed related to other high-ranking god-kings."

"And the ultimate goal is indeed to collect the status and laws of the other five high-level god-kings."

To be honest, before hearing Elena's words, Qiu Tu still hoped that the Ink God King was just making things up for him.

Therefore, when Elena confirmed all of this, his pupils couldn't help but contract slightly.

He pondered for a moment, then guessed, "Are the four Your Majesties completing... the 'Heavenly Way'?"

Elena lay there, softly humming in agreement, and then said, "In the plans of the four sages, the 'Heavenly Dao' should be an existence comparable to, or even replacing, the 'Origin of the World.'"

"Or rather... it is the 'origin' of the 'ordered' world."

"To reach this level, the 'Way of Heaven' cannot only contain the 'Laws of Order,' but should also possess the laws of all pathways."

"Only in this way, through its gradual development and growth, can it become the law of order that covers the entire world."

"And the best way to obtain laws from other sources is, of course, to kill and devour high-ranking god-kings from other sources."

At this point, Elena paused, then lay there and said in a muffled voice, "Of course... if we don't kill a high-ranking god-king, there are other ways."

"For example... slaughtering deities from other paths, allowing the 'Heavenly Dao' to gradually absorb the laws from various paths."

"However... this method is not only extremely time-consuming, but also involves excessive killing, which could potentially trigger backlash from various other methods."

"In comparison, the impact of simply devouring a high-level god-king through each channel is much smaller."

“After all…” Elena paused, then added, “Devouring a high-ranking God-King doesn’t necessarily require the ‘Order Path’ to personally kill him.”

"If high-ranking god-kings from other sources fight amongst themselves and perish, then it's easy to obtain them by either seizing their corpses or exchanging them at a cost."

Upon hearing Elena's words, Qiu Tu was taken aback at first, and then a look of realization appeared on his face!

"Ouch~"

Perhaps because Qiu Tu was too excited, his fingers, which were sliding around, suddenly exerted too much force, causing Qing'e's body to suddenly feel full, and she couldn't help but shudder and exclaim in surprise.

Upon hearing Qing'e's voice, Elena opened her eyes, turned to look at Qing'e, and asked, "What's wrong?"

At this moment, Qing'e massaged with one hand and reached behind her with the other to pull Qiu Tu's hand outward.

Upon hearing Elena's question, she was just about to make up an excuse.

However, Qiu Tu spoke first.

At this moment, he was completely absorbed in his own speculation and did not pay any attention to his hands, which were covered in wine.

He looked at Elena with a serious expression, and then said decisively, "So... the reason why the four lords want to go with the flow and stir up world chaos is..."

"Actually, it's to intensify the conflicts between the various channels and to make the high-level god-kings of the various channels fight each other."

"In this way, if they either fan the flames or intervene secretly, they have a chance to complete the 'Heavenly Way.'"

"After all... this opportunity is too rare: even when the world was in chaos before, most of the high-level god-kings did not take action."

"But as soon as this chaotic era began, the three immortal giants and the Tyrant of Destruction had already entered the fray. And all the other high-ranking god-kings had gathered in the west."

"The entire western region is like a powder keg right now. Once a fire is lit, it could very well kill several high-level god-kings."

At this point, Qiu Tu paused, then continued, "Even if their scheme fails, although the high-ranking god-kings have gathered, they have refrained from taking action. But... in such chaos, it's perfectly normal for tens of thousands of gods to die in various channels, and it won't even attract the attention of the major channels."

"And they can also take advantage of this to activate Plan B, using the corpses of deities from various sources to gradually complete the 'Heavenly Way.'"
