Then let them offer their loyalty!

"This is both dangerous and far too uncontrollable."

"For example... I unlocked my own abilities, so that I no longer need to follow the agreement to repay a debt of gratitude."

"For example... I myself would not harm you, but I would try to instigate someone else to kill you..."

"For example... you've messed with someone that even I can't handle."

"With so many unexpected events, no matter which one occurs, his plan will fail completely."

At this point, Lao Bai paused for a moment, then said,

"So... I think even if he really did predict today a thousand years from now, predicted my abilities, predicted everything, then his real target is probably not you."

Upon hearing this, a thoughtful look flashed across Qiu Tu's eyes.

Old Bai: "Of course... even if his real target isn't you, it's most likely someone close to you."

"He's probably trying to influence you through me, and then influence that other person through you, in order to achieve his real goal..."

Upon hearing Lao Bai's words, Qiu Tu's breath caught in his throat, and a flash of lightning seemed to explode in his mind...

A stunningly beautiful figure involuntarily surfaced in his mind, then slowly merged with the "real target" Old Bai had spoken of...

Zeki?

To be honest, even though he was a time traveler, Qiu Tu never felt that he was anything special.

After getting to know Zhao Ji... Qiu Tu felt that Zhao Ji was the most special person in the whole world.

Her talent, her strength, and her intelligence in cultivation are all rare in the world, and once in ten thousand years.

Moreover, if a high-level god-king could foresee everything that is happening now a thousand years ago, wouldn't he be able to foresee things that happened hundreds of years ago?

even....

After learning of the existence of that Millennium God King, Qiu Tu even suspected that Zhao Ji's strength might be due to the "Millennium God King's" deliberate guidance or cultivation.

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but look at Lao Bai, and then asked with a deep expression, "Lao Bai... why did the Chaos Witch go to Zhao Ji back then?"

"She has never been to the 'Boundless Sea of ​​the Heart,' so how does she know about Zhao Ji's talent?"

"Even... why would she, as the queen of the chaotic faction, deliberately appear and use schemes to befriend and accompany Zhao Ji, a mere celestial being, while she was traveling through the 'Ancient Continent'?"

This question has always been a lingering doubt in Qiu Tu's heart.

Sure enough, upon hearing Qiu Tu's question, Old Bai's face showed a hint of approval. He gently reminded Qiu Tu, "You should call her Her Majesty the Witch."

After saying that, he added, "However... you guessed right, it was indeed I who told His Majesty."

"Back then, when my avatar was traveling in the 'Boundless Sea of ​​Hearts,' it led a group of celestial beings to fight against Zhao Ji, but they were no match for her at all."

“At that moment, I knew that she was the one His Majesty needed.”

Qiu Tu:! !

Qiu Tu finally felt that everything was going smoothly.

If that millennium-old god-king wanted to scheme against me, the risk would be too great, and there would likely be too many twists and turns along the way.

Besides... scheming against yourself doesn't seem to bring much reward, does it?

Even if he became the Guardian God King, it wouldn't have much impact on the struggle between the high-level God Kings.

It can't be that he's a relative or parent who traveled through time early and left a favor to help me, right?

However... if that millennium was a calculation made about Zhao Ji, intending to use her to scheme against the "Chaos Witch," a fellow high-level god-king representing a different path, but without leaving too much of a trace, thus using himself as a prelude... then that makes sense!

So, this is actually a struggle between high-ranking god-kings? And I, and even Zhao Ji, were merely affected?

However, this has created a new problem.

Who exactly is that high-ranking god-king? What means did he possess such courage and power?

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but look at Lao Bai.

Old Bai may have been pondering this question for the past thousand years.

Therefore, when he saw Qiu Tu looking over, he almost instantly guessed what Qiu Tu was thinking.

He smiled and then said, "Order, mystery..."

------

This chapter has many plot holes and foreshadowing elements, some of which will be revealed in the side stories. I'll mark the chapters with foreshadowing elements when I have time.

Chapter 941 Jasmine: Want to Join Us? (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Qiu Tu carefully considered the God-King's personality traits based on the "mystery" and "order" pathways.

The god-kings of these two paths are indeed more cunning and scheming than the other.

From this perspective, only these old foxes and cunning schemers could pull off such a scheme spanning thousands of years.

However... the only question is, do they really have that ability and strength?

Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but look at Lao Bai and ask, "Do these two methods have corresponding prophetic abilities?"

"And it's capable of predicting things over a hundred or even a thousand years."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, a hint of a smile flashed in Old Bai's gentle eyes. He said,

"Actually... I used to be just like you, wondering if anyone could really have such power?"

"After all... the ability to predict the future is too ethereal and unpredictable. Moreover... predicting things a thousand years from now is no longer just simple divination of the future."

"This goes beyond simply capturing the slightest change in the world; it requires... a close connection with the 'Origin of the World,' or even power sufficient to influence it."

"Therefore, for hundreds of years, I have always been skeptical of the prophecy about the 'Millennial God-King.'"

"Until..." Old Bai paused, then changed the subject, saying, "...hundreds of years ago, the appearance of the Star Gazing God King..."

Old Bai didn't continue.

But a hint of realization flashed in Qiu Tu's eyes.

The Stargazing God King, or rather, the true form of the Radiant Princess, is an extremely special God King.

Qiu Tu had researched a lot of information and data about her in order to study her background.

The most unique, powerful, and important ability of the Stargazing Goddess is her "prophetic" ability.

Moreover, unlike other short-term or ambiguous prophetic abilities, she can accurately predict specific events that will occur years or decades in advance, without the slightest error.

A god-king once jokingly said: Other prophetic abilities are like parting the fog of the future and glimpsing a fragment of it; but the ability of the Stargazing God-King is to reach into the river of time, take a segment, and present it to everyone.

It is precisely because of this powerful ability that the Stargazing God King's special status in the "Destruction Court" is something no one opposes.

Of course... Qiu Tu also learned some time ago that the reason why the Star Gazing God-King could have such a high status in the "Destruction Royal Court" had nothing to do with her abilities—it was purely because she was the daughter of the "Destruction Tyrant" and the Radiant Princess herself.

Regardless, the Star Gazing God King's ability greatly increases the possibility that the Millennium God King is a "mysterious path".

After all... if a power has never been born in the world, then no one can be sure whether it exists, let alone its effects.

But once this ability has been created, the strength of its effect becomes merely a matter of how much it costs.

This is why a transaction going from 0 to 1 is more valuable than going from 1 to 100.

The former is pioneering and breaks the rules; while the latter simply invests resources to enhance the effect within the existing rules.

Since the Stargazing God-King can accurately predict events several years or even decades in advance, it seems not entirely impossible that a higher-level God-King, who is older and more powerful than her, could predict events a thousand years in advance, provided he pays a sufficiently high price.

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu and Lao Bai fell silent again. The whistling wind blew past them, ruffling their clothes.

A moment later, Qiu Tu, while flying, looked at Lao Bai and asked another question that he was curious about, "By the way, witch... does His Majesty know about this?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Lao Bai first shook his head, then nodded slightly.

His expression was somewhat complicated. He said, "Actually... before that wish was fulfilled, because the power of the contract bound me, I was unable to tell any details or related matters to anyone else."

“But…” He looked up at the distant world of Aria, his voice tinged with emotion, “I think His Majesty must know, or at least suspect, that it.”

"After all... she is such a person, and we have known each other for so many years, how could she not notice the abnormality in me?"

Qiu Tu nodded slightly. He and Lao Bai had only known each other for a few years and didn't know much, but he could still sense many strange things about him.

The Witch of Chaos and Old White have known each other for nearly a thousand years, and she is Old White's superior. She often assigns Old White tasks, and they must have noticed some clues during their time together, but for some reason, she did not point them out.

Especially... Old Bai's behavior is often quite obvious. His precognition and ability to foresee the future make him seem mysterious.

For example, this time, he obviously knew he would be arrested early on, so he hid all his important items in advance.

There are many such incidents; anyone who isn't an idiot can see his problem.

With that in mind, the two of them continued chatting as they flew to the outer edge of the "Aria World".

Seeing the "Aria" world passage slowly rotating like a giant star in the distance, the two stopped in tacit agreement and landed on a small hill.

Standing atop the hillside, Old Bai, with his hands behind his back, gazed at the vast world passage in the distance and slowly spoke to Qiu Tu.

"Actually... all these years, I have been secretly investigating that 'Millennium God King'."

His voice was steady and deep, "But that person seems to have sprung from a crack in a rock; there's not a trace of their existence left in the history of the 'Ancient Continent.'"

"Although I limited my suspicions to the two major pathways of mystery and order, in fact... at the very beginning of the investigation, I included all the high-level god-kings of the six pathways in the scope of my suspicions."

"However... after all these years of investigation, it seems that none of the high-level god-kings from the six major paths are suspects, and it also seems that none of them know this millennium god-king."

"This once puzzled me greatly."

At this point, Lao Bai gazed at the distant scenery and slowly said, "There are two possibilities."

"First, this 'Millennial God-King' was not originally from the 'Ancient Continent,' but rather came from some unknown world."

"He came to this world unintentionally for some reason. Or even... it might just be his inherited divine thought that came to this world."

"Therefore, there is no trace of his existence in this world."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu's gaze shifted slightly, as if he were deep in thought.

Old Bai ignored Qiu Tu's thoughts, paused, and continued, "Secondly... this 'Millennial God-King' is more ancient than any of us imagine, so ancient that even the oldest high-level God-King of this generation doesn't recognize him."

"His deeds have long been lost to the annals of history."

Old Bai's voice carried a hint of solemnity.

He said, "If you calculate it that way, his lifespan could very well be in the tens of thousands."

"Even the most powerful God-Kings only live for a few thousand years. This suggests that the 'Millennial God-King' may have embarked on the path to supreme power, and may even be... infinitely close to the position of a Supreme God-King."

At this point, Lao Bai gave Qiu Tu a deep look, "You should know... the Supreme God King is the master of a path."

"Each path can produce at most one Supreme God-King."

"Therefore... if this 'Millennial God-King' is truly a figure from ten thousand years ago, then this is not a good thing for any of the God-Kings of the six major pathways."

"Especially...you."

Upon hearing Lao Bai's words, Qiu Tu's heart sank.

What Lao Bai didn't say was: what if this Millennium God-King really is a high-level God-King from the mysterious or orderly path?

This likely means that the path forward for "mystery" or "order" has been cut off.

As a "deity of order," Qiu Tu has approximately a 50% chance of having to change his path.

At this moment, Lao Bai continued,

"And no one can guess what the true purpose of such a veteran god-king who has gone into hiding is."

"So even though... I think you might not be their ultimate target, I still suggest you be careful and cautious during this time, just to be on the safe side."

“After all,” Old Bai changed the subject, a helpless smile curving his lips,

"The other side may be playing a counter-strategy against us: on the surface, they are using you as a pawn to make us think that you are not the target, but in reality, they are making us outsmart them, and you are their target."

At this point, Old Bai couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head. "Of course, there's probably no point in us speculating now. Since the other party considers your ascension to the position of Guardian God King as the ultimate goal..."

"Now that his wish has ended and his goal has been achieved, he will most likely come out on his own soon."

"At that time, perhaps we won't need to guess to know what he was planning for this millennium-long scheme."

At this point, Lao Bai paused for two seconds, then sighed softly, "Of course, at that time, perhaps... the whole world will change drastically."

Hearing Lao Bai's words, Qiu Tu nodded slightly in agreement.

Now that they've achieved their goal, and given this era of great strife, perhaps it really is time for them to step forward...
