Before the Berserker God King could finish speaking, the Ghost-Faced God King interrupted him.
The Ghost-Faced God-King said in a hoarse voice, "Let's not even discuss whether the information transmitted from the 'Temple of Order' is accurate."
"Even if it's true... it would be quite easy for a god-king to hide his strength, wouldn't it?"
Upon hearing Ghost Face God King's words, Berserker God King's expression kept changing. He was clearly still somewhat unwilling to give up.
Just then, the Ghost-Faced God King calmly said, "Besides this explanation, is there a more reasonable one?"
Upon hearing this, the Berserker God King froze completely.
His expression changed rapidly. In a moment, his face turned bright red, and he yelled, "Damn it!" before slamming his fist on the stone table!
The hard stone table was instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks, and then it shattered!
Clearly, he also found that this guess was indeed more in line with reality.
He was a decisive and ruthless man by nature. After his last shred of illusion was shattered, the expression on his face slowly faded, and he straightened up, his aura as imposing as that of a savage beast.
"It seems we were tricked by Qiu Tu!"
"However... if Qiu Tu has the ability to easily hide a fourth-level God-King, his strength may far exceed the 'second-level God-King' mentioned in the intelligence."
At this point, he snorted coldly and said, "I knew before that the Temple of Order was being incredibly kind, actually giving us intelligence on their own people."
"Now it's clear that they're deliberately trying to interfere with us."
As he said this, the expression on the face of the Berserker God King became even more serious.
He said, "If that's the case, then Qiu Tu might be an extremely dangerous person."
"We can no longer allow him to operate freely within the 'Royal Court of Destruction'."
"His Majesty's plan is now at a critical juncture, and we must do everything we can to prevent anyone from interfering with it."
As he said this, the Berserker God King looked at the Ghost Face God King and said, "I remember that Silver Mask could contact him, but he is very wary."
The Berserker God King's voice turned serious, "We must get Silver Mask to gain his trust as soon as possible, and then tailor a trap for him."
"This matter must be dealt with as soon as possible!" The Berserker God King put his helmet back on, sat there imposingly, and his voice came from behind the metal helmet, carrying a buzzing killing intent. "Once Silver Mask returns, we will begin preparations immediately!"
Upon hearing the words of the Berserker God King, the Ghost Face God King quickly bowed slightly and replied, "Yes."
.....
at the same time.
When the Berserker God King and the Ghost Face God King finally discovered Zhao Ji's existence.
Qiu Tu also brought his consciousness back to the Purgatory Space.
The lava flowed slowly, casting a dark red glow over the entire space.
The Cloud Cat God King remained seated on the obsidian, swinging his small, fair feet, holding his pipe, and describing to Zhao Ji the First Princess's wisdom and might.
"Qiu Tu... Actually, I think you should really consider abandoning darkness and embracing the light."
"Huiming once said that every world is destined for destruction."
"But destruction is not simply destruction, but rather the rebuilding of a stronger new life on the ruins of the old order."
"Her path is not contrary to ours; it's just that one came before the other."
"Moreover, she is not only a true prodigy, a woman of both literary and martial talents, but also exceptionally good to her subordinates."
"The resources I painstakingly acquired in the 'Temple' over ten years are less than the annual salary she gives me."
At this point, Cloud Cat God King paused, his round cat eyes gleaming, "Besides, you'll understand once you've stayed longer."
"The God-Kings of Destruction are all simple-minded, brute-hard brutes."
"But it is also simple."
She glanced at Zhao Ji and said, "Qiu Tu, you know what the 'Temple' is like."
"Factions abound, with infighting and backstabbing rampant. Internal strife is extremely serious."
"Sometimes... I even feel like we're just tools for those four dignitaries, merely there to help them perfect their 'Heavenly Way.'"
"So...you really should consider joining the 'Royal Court of Destruction'."
"I assure you that Huiming will definitely give you an important position."
She spoke with genuine emotion and sincerity. But unfortunately... she wasn't facing Qiu Tu, but Zhao Ji.
Zhao Ji stood there quietly, like an iceberg that never melts. Her silver mask concealed all her expressions, and no matter how earnestly the Cloud Cat God King spoke, she did not reveal the slightest emotional fluctuation.
Just as the Cloud Cat God King was getting hoarse from talking, Zhao Ji's thoughts stirred slightly, and she used her mental energy to scan her own shadow.
Sure enough, the next second, Qiu Tu's voice rang in her ear, "Sister Zhao Ji."
Zhao Ji hummed in response with her mental power, then asked in a cool tone, "Have you seen all the memories?"
Qiu Tu came to see Zhao Ji to discuss this matter, so he replied, "I've finished reading it."
Zeji asked, "So what do you think?"
"Is she telling the truth? What should we do next?"
If Qiu Tu was still hesitant and hadn't made up his mind before returning to the Purgatory Space...
Upon arriving in the Purgatory Space, he heard Cloud Cat God King's words and felt no hesitation whatsoever.
He smiled and said, "What's next?"
"I think what Cloud Cat God King said makes a good point. Why don't we just join forces with the First Princess?"
Zeki: Hmm?

Chapter 890 The Cloud Cat God King is Shocked (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
'To seek refuge with the First Princess?'
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji's first reaction was that Qiu Tu was joking and saying it on purpose.
But don't forget, she can sense emotions.
So, after sensing Qiu Tu's emotions, Zhao Ji was surprised to find that Qiu Tu was actually serious.
How can this be?
It should be noted that Zhao Ji considered herself to know Qiu Tu to some extent.
Qiu Tu is definitely not the kind of person who backs down when faced with difficulties, or who compromises when confronted with a powerful enemy.
Moreover, Qiu Tu was arguably the most determined person she had ever met.
Let alone the pointless persuasion of Cloud Cat God King. Even if Cloud Cat God King wanted to seduce Qiu Tu, Qiu Tu would most likely only seduce him, not submit to him.
So... how did Qiu Tu suddenly change his personality?
Thinking this, Zhao Ji couldn't help but ask in a cool tone, "Why do you want to pledge allegiance to the First Princess?"
Hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu smiled and said, "Of course it's because I think what Cloud Cat God King said makes sense."
"The 'temple' is rife with internal strife and power struggles; it seems to have no future."
"In contrast, the destruction of the royal court is a united force."
"With a destructive tyrant protecting them from the outside, and the eldest princess maintaining stability within, they seem to have a much brighter future than the 'Temple.'"
Zeki: ....
Perhaps because she used "absolute perception" too much tonight, Zeki felt like she was really unable to perceive people's emotions anymore.
Qiu Tu's words, though somewhat sarcastic, were incredibly sincere, as if he truly believed them.
This left Zhao Ji unable to discern whether Qiu Tu was speaking from the heart.
'There must be a reason why he said that, right?'
Thinking this, Zhao Ji remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "I don't care."
"I am inherently the god of the 'path of destruction'."
"But you need to think this through carefully. Don't regret it later."
Hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu couldn't help but smile, and then asked, "What if I regret it in the end and want to leave again?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ji remained silent for two seconds. Then, she said in a cold voice, "What else can we do?"
"I'll lead you out of here."
"At worst, we can just kill the Destroyer Tyrant and the First Princess."
Upon hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu couldn't help but break into a bright smile.
As expected, Zehime is Zehime no matter what~
Thinking this, Qiu Tu stopped teasing Zhao Ji. He stopped smiling and said, "Sister Zhao Ji, you don't need to worry so much."
“I’m not lying to you. After thinking it over, I really think that now is the right thing to do to side with the Crown Princess.”
"Not only can we closely observe the transactions between the 'Destroyer's Court' and the 'Immortal Heavenly Tomb,' but we can also avoid continuing to hide and focus on improving ourselves."
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji's brows furrowed slightly.
However, before she could raise any questions, Qiu Tu added, "But... I've always preferred one-way communication."
"When you don't want to contact the eldest princess, you still need someone to introduce and recommend you."
"Besides... what's the use of introductions and recommendations? Can they gain the Crown Princess's trust in a short time?"
At this point, Qiu Tu changed the subject and said with a grin, "So, why don't we just become cloud cats?"
"In this way, we have also pledged our allegiance to the First Princess, and with decades, even centuries, of friendship between us, the First Princess trusts us."
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji was momentarily stunned.
A look of realization dawned on her eyes. She finally understood what Qiu Tu was planning!
Qiu Tu's true intention is not to pledge allegiance, but to infiltrate the enemy!
He wanted to trap the Cloud Cat God King and then transform himself into the Cloud Cat God King!
Princess Zhao was an extremely intelligent woman.
Once she understood this, she immediately realized the advantages of the plan:
First of all, compared to Wei Lin, Cloud Cat God King, or rather Silver Mask God King, has a higher status and greater authority in the "Destruction Court," and can access more core secrets.
Secondly, Wei Lin was at most Princess Xingyue's undisclosed sweetheart, and it was extremely difficult for him to even see her.
Last time, the Cloud Cat God King even warned him not to see Princess Star Moon again.
However... Cloud Cat God King is Princess Star Moon's guardian, and can see her at any time. It would be incredibly easy for him to take her away, making him a traitor to his own position.
Finally, and most importantly.
Based on the information revealed by Cloud Cat God King today, he and Qiu Tu have long been targeted by the "Destroy the Royal Court" and the First Princess.
Being targeted by a high-ranking god-king is extremely dangerous. No one knows what tricks the other party has up their sleeve.
But it would be much easier to infiltrate her inner circle.
According to Cloud Cat God King, the First Princess only saw her occasionally. Therefore, theoretically, as long as one can ensure that no flaws are discovered, then "the darkest place is under the lamp" is indeed safer.
This is a desperate tactic, a risky move that can lead to survival. It's unconventional, yet has a certain success rate, perfectly suited to Qiu Tu's style.
The only question is whether the First Princess can perceive or see through Qiu Tu's "Punishment God Realm".
Thinking of this, Zhao Ji couldn't help but sense Qiu Tu's emotions.
Qiu Tu was calm and confident, as if he was 100% certain that the plan would succeed.
This confidence clearly infected Zeki as well.
So after a moment of contemplation, Zhao Ji chose to support Qiu Tu, "Okay. So, should I become the Cloud Cat, or you?"
What should we do about Wei Lin?
Qiu Tu had clearly already perfected this plan in his mind. So when he heard Zhao Ji's words, he didn't hesitate at all and said, "Wei Lin... according to the original plan, modify his memories."
