Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu smiled and said, "Then can I call you Little Lily?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's offensive words, Jasmine's smile didn't even change. She said, "Of course~ If you'd like, you can call me sister, baby, or darling, whatever you prefer~"

Qiu Tu: .....

To be honest, Qiu Tu was starting to admire Jasmine.

This woman is clearly the most powerful and influential woman in the entire world, yet she has absolutely no shame. Who could possibly be her match?

After realizing that Jasmine's shamelessness was unmatched by his own, Qiu Tu stopped targeting her and instead went straight to the point asking about what had just happened.

He said, "In that case, I'll call you the same way I always have."

"Jasmine, you just sent someone to give me a hard time, and you're going to assign me a task. What exactly is that task?"

Jasmine was indeed a bit shameless; even though Qiu Tu had exposed her, her expression didn't change at all. She smiled and said, "Brother, you've misunderstood. I didn't intend to intimidate you."

"Mingyin just looks a bit fierce and has a somewhat domineering personality."

"I didn't mean anything by it."

After saying that, she added, "As for the mission... it's actually related to you too."

"I hope you can go to 'Chaotic Western Capital' and investigate the truth behind Mu Xin's arrest."

Qiu Tu frowned slightly upon hearing Jasmine's words.

What's the truth behind Lao Bai's arrest?

Qiu Tu was slightly puzzled.

If he remembered correctly, the God King Shepherd Heart was captured by the "Radiant Princess".

Moreover, according to the personal maid of Princess Huiming, he was defeated and captured by Princess Huiming in one move on the front line of the battlefield.

But now, according to Jasmine, there seems to be more to the story about Lao Bai's arrest.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu met Jasmine's gaze and calmly asked, "I don't quite understand."

"Wasn't the God King Shepherd Heart captured directly by Princess Radiant Fate?"

Why is an investigation still needed?

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Jasmine sat down on the throne and smiled.

She said, "Mu Xin was indeed captured by that little girl Hui Ming."

"However... his behavior before and after his arrest was somewhat abnormal."

"Given his personality, it's impossible that he didn't know that killing Shuangbai would provoke a backlash from both the Immortal and Destruction factions."

"After being arrested, he did not ask for help or try to escape."

"This is not in line with his personality."

"So... I suspect there's more to this than meets the eye. Maybe someone is pulling the strings, deliberately escalating tensions between the various factions, hoping to reap the benefits."

"So, I hope you can investigate this and give me an answer."

Upon hearing Jasmine's explanation, Qiu Tu nodded in understanding, feeling that the suspicion was reasonable and well-founded, and indeed needed to be reinvestigated.

However, this raises another problem...

Qiu Tu looked at Jasmine and said seriously, "I understand everything you've said."

"But... what good does this do me?"

"Why should I risk offending both the Destroyer Royal Court and the Immortal Tomb to investigate this matter?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Jasmine, who was casually sitting on the throne with her legs crossed, looked at him with a smile on her face and her eyes full of confident strategist.

After a moment, she chuckled softly and said,

"benefit?"

"Brother...you've changed. You even need something in return to help me now~~"

Qiu Tu was prompted to retort at Moli's tea-like words.

Just then, Jasmine spoke up again, "But she hasn't changed at all. She's always been doing her best to help her brother."

"Like this mission, actually... it's not a trade where you can weigh the pros and cons, but rather you're helping yourself save yourself."

"Besides, brother, it seems you don't have any other choice~~"

Hearing Jasmine's confident words, Qiu Tu frowned slightly, and a question mark popped into his head.

After a moment, he composed himself and tentatively followed Jasmine's words, "Help me save myself?"

"What makes you say that?"

"And why did I choose that?"

Although Qiu Tu and Lao Bai had a good relationship, it wasn't good enough for Qiu Tu to take such a big risk and successfully rescue him.

Therefore, he never felt that investigating Old White had anything to do with him.

Not to mention he had to save Old White; he had no other choice.

Perhaps sensing Qiu Tu's confusion, Jasmine's smile deepened. This time, instead of answering directly, she posed a question that Qiu Tu hadn't expected.

"Brother, do you know what 'supreme' means?"

Supreme?

Qiu Tu was stunned for a moment.

He had heard this word countless times in the past two years.

In fact, Elena had just mentioned to him this morning that the Witch of Chaos, the Tyrant of Destruction, and the Celestial Evolution of Order had all embarked on this path.

However, when asked to explain this realm, he only had a superficial understanding.

Therefore, upon hearing Jasmine's question, Qiu Tucheng shook his head.

Jasmine was clearly pleased with his reaction.

Seeing Qiu Tu shake his head, she stood up, her fair feet stepping onto the cold, skeletal throne, and slowly walked. Her long black dress fluttered without wind, revealing glimpses of her snow-white legs beneath the hem.

"The so-called supreme is the unique end point of every path, the embodiment of the rules of the path, and a part of the entire world."

Her voice became low and deep as she softly said, "This also means that once you reach that position, you will live as long as the world, live as long as the rules, and be immortal."

“So…” she looked at Qiu Tu and said with a smile, “There are only one Supreme God-King for each of the six paths.”

"Even now... because no one has found the supreme path through the three paths of mystery, life, and immortality,... the entire 'Ancient World' can only have a maximum of three Supreme God-Kings."

Qiu Tu silently absorbed the secrets Jasmine was telling him, his brain racing as he tried to guess what Jasmine was trying to say.

At this point, Jasmine continued, "This situation led to a cruel result."

“All god-kings who aspire to ascend to the highest position through their own means are enemies.”

"Because once you become the Supreme God-King, it is very difficult to fall from grace, and the advancement paths of other high-level God-Kings will be completely blocked, making it impossible for them to make any further progress."

"So... this is a life-or-death struggle for the right path, with no room for retreat, no room for compromise, and no room for negotiation."

"As long as you still want to embark on this path, you can only climb to the top by stepping on the corpses of all your competitors on the same route. Or... become a stepping stone for others to reach the top."

Upon hearing Jasmine's words, Qiu Tu's expression froze for a moment, followed by a flash of lightning in his mind.

He suddenly understood what Jasmine's "trump card" really was!

Thinking this, Qiu Tu's brain started working at lightning speed as he sorted through all the fragments of clues in his mind.

Qiu Tu has been in this world for many years, surrounded by beautiful women and countless talented experts. But the true core of his team actually consists of only two people:

He and Zhao Ji!

Of the two, he represents the path of order, while Zhao Ji represents the path of destruction!

Of the six paths, only three God-Kings are qualified and have a clear supreme path: the Chaos Witch, the Destruction Tyrant, and the Order Celestial Evolution!

The Destroyer Tyrant and the Orderly Evolution are precisely the forerunners of the supreme paths of destruction and order!

This means that once the Destroyer Tyrant and the Orderly Heavenly Evolution attain enlightenment, Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji will never be able to advance to the Supreme God King level in their lifetime.

Once he and Zhao Ji show interest in the supreme positions of the two paths of "destruction" and "order", they will immediately face a series of attacks from the Tyrant of Destruction and the Heavenly Evolution of Order!

The struggle for the right path is a life-or-death battle!

Therefore, as long as he and Zhao Ji still want to reach the top, they naturally stand on the absolute opposite side of the two giants, "Destruction Tyrant" and "Order of Heaven"!

There is absolutely no possibility of peaceful coexistence between Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji and the "Destruction Tyrant" and "Order of Heaven"!

Therefore... in theory, as long as Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji still have ambition, it is impossible for them to side with either the "Destroy the Royal Court" or the "Temple of Order"!

Because that would be tantamount to courting death!

Even if Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji wanted to join the "Destruction Court" or the "Temple of Order," no one dared to accept them.

Because... "Destruction Tyrant" and "Order of Heaven" will tear Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji apart the moment they see each other.

The result of this is that, among the three major alliances, Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji's only remaining ally is...

Thinking this, Qiu Tu's gaze involuntarily and slowly fell on the woman in front of the throne who had a slightly sinister yet majestic air.

Chaos faction, Chaos Witch!

This is also why Jasmine said he had no other choice:

Because of the two years she spent living with Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji, Jasmine had long been aware of their ambitions and knew that they would never give up their supreme position.

It can be said that Jasmine had laid out all the groundwork beforehand, and then struck directly at Qiu Tu's Achilles' heel.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu's expression couldn't help but turn somewhat ugly.

At this moment, seeing Qiu Tu's increasingly strange expression, Jasmine's smile deepened.

She leaned back on her throne, resting her chin on one hand, legs crossed, with an expression that said, "I knew I wasn't lying, was I?" Then she slowly said,

"Have you figured it out, brother?"

"Do you believe me now?"

"We're destined to be together~"

Upon hearing Jasmine's ambiguous words, Qiu Tu no longer had the desire to retaliate.

Originally, in his plan, he and Zhao Ji were already at the table, and then they could maneuver and develop among the major forces.

Once Zehime becomes a high-level god-king, the situation will become much more relaxed.

In the future, they will be able to navigate between the major powers and improve themselves.

As a result, Jasmine's single sentence has now thwarted all his plans.

If everything Jasmine said is true, then Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji seem to have no other choice but to "rely on" Jasmine and become her allies.

Then, Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji's next plan will be completely overturned immediately.

This is simply the most troublesome kind of development.

Moreover... what alarmed Qiu Tu even more was: was all of this really a coincidence, or was it deliberately arranged by someone?

In particular, given that Jasmine had guided and altered Zhao Ji's catastrophic path hundreds of years ago, Qiu Tu became even more suspicious.

But... reflecting on his journey since his transmigration, it seems he hasn't been affected by too many people? Qiu Tu felt a little more at ease...

Even so, he remained extremely vigilant.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu's mind raced. After a moment, he deliberately maintained his composure, then looked at Jasmine, who was seated high on the divine throne, and spoke with a grim expression.

How do I know if what you're saying is true?

"Perhaps you're just trying to recruit me and Zhao Ji, so you're deliberately lying to me."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Jasmine smiled.

Jasmine noticed Qiu Tu's emotional changes and even the slightest shifts in his micro-expressions.
