Then let them offer their loyalty!

Qiu Tu: .....

Looking at the Ghost Face God King's expectant yet apprehensive expression, he felt a surge of indescribable sympathy once again.

Is this guy the king of simps in the ancient continent?

He had been "online dating" for decades, but he had never even met the person in person and had been kept in the dark, thinking he was having a secret relationship.

This ill-fated relationship is incredibly difficult to resolve. It might even involve bloodshed.

Thinking this through, Qiu Tu didn't want to get involved any further. So he simply replied "No," and strode towards the World Passage.

Without the interference of the Ghost Face God King, Qiu Tu quickly reached the exit of the world passage.

As Qiu Tu approached the entrance to the World Passage, his steps became slower and slower.

Because he was waiting, waiting for Princess Huiming to stop him.

But perhaps he was truly being cynical and judging others by his own standards. Until he stood at the entrance to the "World Passage," neither Princess Huiming nor anyone stopped him.

After standing still for a moment, Qiu Tu stepped into the world passage.

The next second, the enormous spatial vortex of the world passage swallowed him up, and he was completely removed from the "Destruction Court".

'You really didn't stop me?'

Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but feel a little surprised. His divine sense, like an invisible spider web, began to search the space within a radius of several miles. But he found nothing unusual.

He stopped and glanced back at the enormous spatial vortex, his brows furrowing slightly behind the silver mask.

'Could it be... that I really misunderstood Princess Huiming? Does she truly trust me?'

Or is this yet another, deeper trap she's set, intending to capture Zhao Ji in one fell swoop?

'Or perhaps... Princess Huiming is truly as magnanimous as she claims, disdaining to force talented individuals? Or is she instead seeking to recruit through personal charisma?'

Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

To be honest, even now that the truth is right in front of him, Qiu Tu still doesn't believe that there are people in this world who are so confident.

Isn't she worried that he might turn around and run away, and sell her off?

Just how strong must this woman's heart be to be so confident...?

Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but raise the danger level of Princess Huiming by two.

This woman... is far more terrifying than he imagined.

However, regardless of the circumstances, a wise person avoids dangerous situations. Qiu Tu has finally escaped the control of Princess Huiming, which is a stroke of good fortune amidst misfortune.

Next, besides meeting with Lady Zhao, he also needs to carefully consider what the future holds for the two of them...

Should we return to the Temple of Order, or agree to Huiming's conditions...?

Thinking this, Qiu Tu also calmed his mind, then identified the direction, and with a flicker, he transformed into a faint phantom, silently heading towards the place he had agreed to meet with Zhao Ji.

.......

The night was as dark as ink, and on the desolate wilderness, a solitary hill stood silently.

At the top of the hill, a figure stood suspended in mid-air, her black combat uniform fluttering in the night wind, her long, black hair flowing freely. She resembled a peerless divine sword about to be drawn, radiating a chilling sharpness. It was none other than Zhao Ji.

When Qiu Tu's figure appeared silently at the foot of the hill, he saw that figure at first glance.

Then, he was stunned for a moment, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Because... Zehime has changed.

If the former Zhao Ji was an iceberg, cold, aloof, and keeping everyone at arm's length, then the current her is a volcano about to erupt. Beneath that icy exterior lies a terrifying power capable of scorching the heavens and boiling the seas.

That power was restrained and concentrated, yet it possessed a domineering, world-destroying force. Simply by standing there, it caused subtle distortions in the space within thousands of miles around, as if unable to bear its weight.

Is this the Guardian God King?

'This is the Guardian God King!'

The words "Guardian God King" flashed through Qiu Tu's mind in an instant.

To be honest, Qiu Tu had seen some guardian gods, but he had never seen anyone like Zhao Ji who could suppress an entire world just by standing there.

'Are they too weak, or is Sister Zhaoji too strong?'

Just then, as Qiu Tu was thinking this, Zhao Ji's voice came over, "You've arrived."

At the top of the hill, Zhao Ji slowly turned around, her cool gaze falling on him.

Qiu Tu snapped out of his daze, then his figure blurred, and the next second he appeared in front of Zhao Ji.

He removed the silver mask from his face, revealing that familiar, sunny face.

Then he bowed slightly to Zhao Ji and began to shower her with his favorite compliments, "Congratulations, Sister Zhao Ji, on your promotion to Guardian God King! You have suppressed an entire region, and becoming a high-level God King is just around the corner."

It has to be said that despite her significant improvement in strength, Zehime's love for flattery remains unchanged.

Furthermore, her relationship with Qiu Tu is becoming increasingly close, even... becoming more and more ambiguous.

Therefore, meeting Qiu Tu's gaze, a very faint smile appeared in the depths of Zhao Ji's eyes, which had been frozen for thousands of years. Although it was fleeting, it was enough to amaze people.

After her smile faded, she put her hands behind her back, looked at Qiu Tu, and said calmly, "The gap between a high-level God King and a Guardian God King is still quite large. It's not something you can just break through on a whim."

"Even for me... it would probably take several months."

Qiu Tu:......

Look at this, is this what a human being says?

A high-level God-King only needs a few months?

If the god-kings who have been trapped in their guardianship positions for hundreds or thousands of years and have never been able to advance further heard this, they would surely want to kill Zhao Ji as soon as possible.

However... considering Zhao Ji's consistently rapid advancement, Qiu Tu had to admit: perhaps Zhao Ji really could do it...

'As expected, it's the thickest thigh!'

Thinking this, Qiu Tu smiled slightly and began licking Zhao Ji again.

After being licked by Qiu Tu for a few minutes, Zhao Ji interrupted Qiu Tu expressionlessly and then steered the conversation to the main topic.

However, from the slightly upturned corners of her mouth, it was clear that Qiu Tu was licking her very comfortably.

"How have things been on your end lately?" Zhao Ji looked at Qiu Tu, her cool gaze carrying a hint of concern.

Seeing that they were getting down to business, Qiu Tu also put away his playful thoughts.

His expression turned cold, and he briefly recounted to Zhao Ji what had happened around him recently.

From the Princess Huiming's probing, to the fall of the "Chaotic Western Capital", to the secret of the Star Gazing God King, and finally to that unbelievable recruitment.

Zhao Ji listened silently, but the expression on her face grew increasingly solemn.

After Qiu Tu finished speaking, Zhao Ji remained silent for a moment before slowly commenting, "This woman... is a formidable enemy."

Upon hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu couldn't help but glance at her, feeling that her words seemed to have a double meaning.

However... it must be said that this evaluation of Zehime is quite high.

It's worth noting that even when facing the "Destroyer Tyrant," Zehime never used the word "great enemy."

Instead, they were eager to test their skills against the "Destruction Tyrant".

However, Princess Huiming's intelligence, methods, and strength truly deserve the evaluation of Zeji.

Therefore, Qiu Tu nodded slightly in agreement and said, "Indeed. Hui Ming is an excellent choice in terms of mindset, methods, and strength."

"Far surpassing my previous opponents."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's assessment, Zhao Ji looked at him and asked, "So what are you planning to do next?"

"Are you really going to side with her?"

Upon hearing this question, Qiu Tu couldn't help but let out a wry smile.

He and Zhao Ji stood side by side on the small hill, then, with their hands behind their backs, they gazed at the "World Passage" that was faintly visible in the night, their voices tinged with a hint of helplessness.

"Actually, I was a little confused when Huiming didn't stop me from leaving the 'Kingdom of Destruction'."

"I wonder if she's too confident, or if she's plotting something."

"However, while searching for you along the way, I carefully deduced and analyzed the situation, and suddenly realized... that we don't actually have much of a choice right now."

"Putting aside the fact that the conditions offered by Huiming are indeed very tempting and sincere, just looking at the Temple of Order... it's already very difficult for us to go back."

Zhao Ji was a perceptive person, so when she heard Qiu Tu say this, she frowned slightly and asked, "Because you didn't complete the mission?"

Hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu nodded slightly, his gaze somewhat distant. "Although the intelligence we obtained was of very high value, we did not rebuild the entire intelligence network after the Cloud Cat God King's betrayal."

"Under normal circumstances, the merits and demerits would definitely cancel each other out, or even the merits would outweigh the demerits."

"But... don't forget, I still have many enemies at the 'Temple' level. Even if I'm innocent, they all want to fabricate charges against me. Now that I've made a mistake, I've given them a huge handle to use against me."

"It's tough..."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji's brows furrowed slightly.

Perhaps because she didn't like Kaguya, she remained silent for a full two seconds before asking, "Then... why don't we just join Kaguya's side?"

Upon hearing Zhao Ji's suggestion, Qiu Tu sighed deeply again, "Sister Zhao Ji, it's not that easy..."

Chapter 917 The whole world is in complete chaos (Seeking monthly votes)

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji looked at him coldly. Although her expression did not change much, her meaning was clear: Why?

On the hill, the night wind carried the dampness from afar, fluttering Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji's robes.

Qiu Tu looked at Zhao Ji with a pitiful expression. He sighed deeply and spread his hands, "Because... 'Destroying the Royal Court' is clearly an attempt to make an enemy of the world."

"What's the difference between joining them now and joining the Nationalists in 49...?"

A question mark slowly appeared above Zehime's head: ?

Clearly, they couldn't understand what Qiu Tu was saying.

Qiu Tu was too lazy to explain. Over the years, their relationship had grown increasingly intimate, and Qiu Tu no longer needed to put on an act in front of Zhao Ji. So he simply plopped down on the ground, braced himself with his hands behind him, and, while gazing at the misty scenery below the hill, began to explain.

"Sister Zhaoji, I only discovered the strangeness of the 'Destruction Royal Court' after meeting Princess Huiming tonight." His voice carried a hint of seriousness in the cool night breeze.

"Something's not right?" Zhao Ji frowned slightly. She didn't ask any more questions, but instead walked over to Qiu Tu and sat down next to him.

"Hmm." Qiu Tu looked into the distance, nodded slightly, and then said, "I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong, it's just a gut feeling."

He paused for a moment, seemingly organizing his thoughts, "From the moment I infiltrated the Destroyer's Court, I have been collecting and analyzing their intelligence. I have discovered that the complexity within this seemingly rough and barbaric force far exceeds my imagination."

“First, there’s their royal family,” Qiu Tu’s voice deepened. “The Destroyer Tyrant’s path is the ‘Destruction Path,’ which is normal. But his daughter, Princess Radiant Fate, is of the ‘Mystic Path.’ And his other beloved youngest daughter, Princess Star Moon, is actually a legendary ‘Undead,’ belonging to the ‘Immortal Path.’”

He held up three fingers and waved them gently in the air. "Of the six pathways, the royal family itself directly occupies three. And these are just the three royal family members I've investigated so far."

"If I remember correctly, the 'Destroyer Tyrant' has quite a few children. How did they come to be?"

"Could there also be paths to life, chaos, and even order?"

At this point, Qiu Tu paused for a moment before continuing.

"Even without the proper channels, Princess Huiming first bound herself to the Cloud Cat God King by betrothing a fox spirit, and then offered such generous terms to recruit us."

"This makes me think a lot..."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's analysis, a hint of seriousness flashed in Zhao Ji's eyes.

Compared to Qiu Tu, she has a much deeper understanding of the nature of power in this world.

While the forces of the six pathways are not entirely opposed, there is a natural repulsion between them in many ways.

It is inconceivable that a family, especially a royal family whose core is bloodline inheritance, could produce so many powerful individuals from different backgrounds.

Therefore, if multiple deities from the same family appear simultaneously, it is highly likely that there is human intervention and someone is plotting something.

At this moment, Qiu Tu continued speaking.

"If I remember correctly, the 'Chaos Faction' seems to be doing the same thing."

"Jasmine and the others let their direct descendants reincarnate continuously, and then experience new paths, combining the six paths together to seek the ultimate truth."

"So... I suspect that 'Destruction Tyrant' and his ilk might also be secretly working on the six pathways."

"This will lead to a problem..."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji pondered for a moment, then raised her head to look at Qiu Tu, her clear, cold voice carrying a hint of doubt and thoughtfulness, "You mean... their cooperation with the Immortal Heavenly Tomb?"
