Then let them offer their loyalty!

The air above the black jade table seemed to freeze, with only the steady heartbeat of Princess Huiming echoing in her chest.

After a moment, Princess Huiming made her decision.

Her eyes met Qiu Tu's, and then her voice returned to its usual coldness and authority.

"can."

“I can show you the path to my father’s supreme power.”

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but smile.

Just then, Princess Huiming changed the subject and slowly said, "However, I do not need the supreme path of the Witch of Chaos."

Qiu Tu was clearly not surprised; a smile appeared in his eyes, and he asked, "What does Your Highness need?"

Princess Huiming looked at him and said calmly, "I need you to do something for me."

"what's up?"

"I want you to find out whether those two high-ranking god-kings of the 'Mysterious Path' are really behind this."

"And what exactly are they planning to do?"

Although Princess Huiming's voice remained equal, it carried a chilling aura.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu immediately understood.

It seems that Princess Huiming has remembered the speculation and information I gave her last time.

The only problem is that Princess Huiming clearly doesn't want to rely solely on her own speculations; she wants to see concrete evidence.

This will not have much impact on the secret alliance between "Destruction" and "Mysticism," but it will affect Princess Radiant's future views on the "Mystic Path."

After analyzing the situation, Qiu Tu agreed without hesitation, "Okay."

For him, this was part of his plan; the more chaotic and complicated the relationships between the various channels became, the safer he would be.

Why not kill two birds with one stone?

Seeing Qiu Tu agree so readily, Princess Huiming's eyes flickered slightly, as if she still harbored some other calculations.

However, before Qiu Tu could figure it out, Princess Huiming flipped her slender hand, and an ancient black jade box appeared in her palm.

"then."

With a casual toss, the jade box transformed into a streak of black light, flying straight toward Qiu Tu.

Qiu Tu caught it steadily, feeling only a cold sensation in his hand, as if he were holding a piece of ancient ice.

"Sealed inside is a video of my father explaining his path to supreme power. It will automatically destroy itself after you have viewed it."

Princess Huiming explained calmly, "As for whether you can comprehend it, and how much you can comprehend, that depends on your own destiny."

At this point, she thought for a moment and then added, "Of course... so far, no high-level god-king has been able to gain much from these explanations."

Upon hearing Princess Huiming's words, Qiu Tu's signature smile returned to his face.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

He took the jade box, bowed to Princess Huiming, and then turned and left. His movements were fluid and decisive, as if he had rehearsed it countless times.

Watching Qiu Tu's retreating figure, having taken advantage of the situation and running away without lingering for even a moment longer, Princess Huiming shook her head slightly. A rare hint of amusement flickered in her usually cold eyes.

She felt that Qiu Tu was quite an interesting guy.

Ordinary god-kings trembled with fear before her, as if walking on thin ice.

He alone dared to bargain, dared to push his luck, and his style of doing things was unconventional and unrestrained.

His shamelessness and shrewdness seemed innate, almost instinctive. He possessed the madness of a gambler and the cunning of a politician, yet also a carefree attitude that made it impossible to truly despise him.

Such a person would be a real headache to be an enemy. But as an ally or subordinate, they seem to have a unique charm.

Thinking this, Princess Huiming remained silent for two seconds before withdrawing her thoughts. The next second, her clear, cold voice rang out in the hall.

"Cloud Cat".

"Your subordinate is here." The figure of the Cloud Cat God King appeared silently on one side of the hall and knelt respectfully on one knee.

Princess Huiming calmly instructed, "Apart from some forbidden areas and the imperial city, we don't need to worry about other places."

"Yes," Cloud Cat God King replied, though he was somewhat surprised.

As Huiming's pet and absolute confidante, she knew Huiming better than anyone else.

Hui Ming is clearly starting to treat Qiu Tu as one of his own and is beginning to find ways to accept him.

'Could it be... that I really have to work with that annoying guy from now on?'

'A tonic!'

Roaring inwardly, the Cloud Cat God King bowed and began to dismantle some of the defenses against Qiu Tu...

However, when assigning tasks... Cloud Cat God King always felt that, given Qiu Tu's personality, he probably wouldn't stay obediently in the royal court...

......

Cloud Cat God King's premonition was quite accurate.

Qiu Tu indeed had no intention of staying quietly in the Destroyer Royal Court.

After leaving the palace of the Radiant Princess, he didn't even bother to look at the Supreme Path of the "Destroyer Tyrant" before silently disappearing into the night and leaving the Destroyer Royal Court.

After leaving the Destroyer Royal Court, Qiu Tu began to fly eastward.

He flew for seven or eight hours, the scenery beneath his feet changing from continuous mountain ranges to vast plains, until finally, an endless golden sea of ​​sand appeared at the edge of his vision.

Arriving at the golden sea of ​​sand, Qiu Tu hovered in mid-air, his mental energy sweeping across an area of ​​dozens of miles. After confirming that there was no sign of life in the surroundings, his body sank, like a pebble thrown into a lake, silently sinking into the soft sand beneath his feet.

I don't know how deep we dived, maybe a hundred meters, maybe a thousand meters, but suddenly the view opened up before me.

A magnificent palace stands silently in this vast underground space.

The entire palace was formed entirely from golden sand, yet it shimmered with a metallic luster. Mysterious runes flowed across the palace walls, moving slowly as if they were alive.

A profound, vast, and ancient aura permeated the palace, inspiring awe in all who beheld it.

Qiu Tu passed through the palace gate and arrived at a spacious hall.

In the center of the main hall, a stunningly beautiful figure sat cross-legged with her eyes closed. It was none other than Zhao Ji.

Perhaps sensing Qiu Tu's arrival, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.

"You're back?" Her voice was as clear and cold as moonlight, yet it carried a hint of tenderness that was hard to detect.

"Hmm." Qiu Tu walked up to her, sat down cross-legged, and showed a rare relaxation on his face.

Only in front of Zhao Ji could he not wear a mask, not scheme against each other, and could completely relax.

"Why did you suddenly come back?" Zhao Ji asked.

Qiu Tu didn't say anything, but simply took out the black jade box and placed it between the two of them.

"What is this?" Zhao Ji's gaze fell on the jade box, sensing the aura of destruction emanating from it, a hint of doubt flashing in her cold eyes.

Qiu Tu smiled and recounted the recent events, from Jasmine's sermon to the deal with Princess Huiming, in detail.

Of course, he consciously omitted the part about him and Elena exchanging loyalty.

"...That's how it is." Qiu Tu finished speaking and let out a long sigh. "That Jasmine guy made me wishful thinking before, saying that I was some kind of genius, one in a million, the only person who could understand the Path to the Supreme."

He chuckled. "I doubt she even believes that herself."

“But…” Qiu Tu changed the subject, looking intently at Zhao Ji, “While talking to her, I was actually thinking about a question.”

"What's the problem?"

“She said I was unique, which I thought was a lie. But I do feel that there might really be someone by my side who can understand the path to the highest.”

At this point, Qiu Tu looked at Zhao Ji, his gaze becoming extremely serious.

Zhao Ji looked at him quietly without saying a word, but in her clear, cold eyes, she seemed to have already understood who Qiu Tu was talking about.

She did not answer, but slowly extended her delicate hand.

Her slender fingers gently brushed against the black jade box in front of her. The aura of destruction emanating from it gave her a faint sense of familiarity and resonance.

As a self-proclaimed "master of arrogance," she didn't feel pressured by Qiu Tu's words.

Because... that's what she thought too: if there's only one person in the world who can comprehend the ultimate path of others, then it can only be her.

"Then... let's take a look."

Without uttering any unnecessary words, Zhao Ji simply waved her hand gently.

next second.

With a soft "hum," the intricate runes of destruction on the jade box lit up instantly, with streaks of dark light flowing around it. Finally, with a "click," the lid slowly opened.

There were no earth-shattering phenomena, nor any signs of impending doom.

A jet-black stone, about the size of a fist, with natural cracks covering its surface, lay quietly in the jade box.

The stone looked ordinary, like a common obsidian. But the moment Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji's eyes fell on it, their souls trembled involuntarily.

It was as if what I saw was not a stone, but a universe on the verge of its end, a collapsing black hole.

All light, all sound, all rules are distorted and swallowed up before it, ultimately returning to nothingness.

"Is this... the audio-visual stone that carries the preaching of the tyrant of destruction?" Qiu Tu thought to himself.

Then, without hesitation, the two of them simultaneously sent a wisp of their divine sense into the black stone.

boom!

The next second, the instant his divine sense touched the stone, Qiu Tu felt as if his consciousness was grabbed by an invisible hand and violently pulled into a bizarre and fantastical world.

There was no sky, no earth, only endless darkness and chaos.

In the center of that chaos, a figure as majestic as a mountain slowly opened its eyes.

What kind of eyes were those?

He possessed no emotion whatsoever, only a pure and absolute will to destroy. It was as if everything in the world was merely dust awaiting its end.

Destroy the tyrant!

The next moment, a grand, majestic, and unquestionable voice resounded directly in the depths of Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji's souls.

That is not language, but the transmission of a "Tao" that transcends words.

"Destruction is not killing, nor destruction, but ending."

Everything has a beginning and an end...

-------

Chapter 946 Zhao Ji: High-level God-King, I can slay him with a single sword strike.

"All things are born and will also perish. This is the cycle of the world, the ultimate truth of the universe."

"Stars have lifespans, the world has cycles, and even gods will fall. Where there is life, there is death."

"My path is to follow the will of the world and control its end. With a single thought, an era crumbles; with a single thought, the world restarts..."

Upon hearing this sermon, Qiu Tu's face contorted in pain, and he struggled to stay upright.

He felt that every word spoken by the Destruction Tyrant was like a star about to explode, bursting open in his sea of ​​consciousness and creating a monstrous wave that made his entire consciousness vibrate incessantly.

Even his soul seemed to be torn to shreds by that domineering and incomparable law of destruction.

That's too domineering! That's too direct!

Unlike Jasmine's gentle and persuasive "Way of Chaos," the "Way" of destroying the tyrant is filled with unquestionable authority and absolute control.

He's not trying to reason with you; he's proclaiming the ultimate truth of the world to you.

Those who obey me will witness the secret of the end.

Those who oppose me will be reduced to dust at the end.

However, unlike Ting Moli's "Chaotic Path" state, Qiu Tu's soul, although shaken, did not have a transformation path.

This also left Qiu Tu with some energy to keep an eye on his cheat system.

As expected, the three red and blue orbs deep within his soul were flashing incessantly.
