Then let them offer their loyalty!

"Ah! You pervert!" Cloud Cat God King roared, glaring at Qiu Tu, but his voice softened considerably...

......

Half an hour later, Qiu Tu left the God Realm of Punishment with satisfaction and returned to reality.

In reality, she has already transformed into the Cloud Cat God King, and is wearing that silver mask, sitting leisurely in the chair belonging to the "Silver Mask God King".

However, although he appeared relaxed on the surface, a closer look revealed that his gaze was as deep as the sea.

Qiu Tu, wearing a silver mask, tapped his fingertips lightly on the table as he quietly recalled the interrogation process.

With the combined efforts of the "Punishment God Realm" and the "Order Space," the Cloud Cat God King finally confessed everything.

However, the information she provided was somewhat different from what Qiu Tu had expected.

So... the reason she was so adamant about not revealing why Princess Huiming protected Qiu Tu wasn't because she was truly loyal, but because... she didn't actually know the real reason either.

Or rather, she only had an unverified guess.

According to Cloud Cat God King, after the Destruction Tyrant went into a rage that day, he ordered her to summon the Radiant Princess.

She obeyed the oral instruction and went to relay the orders.

Everything was perfectly normal at first, but the orders that Princess Huiming gave after coming out of the Tyrant's Palace were a bit strange.

Princess Hui ordered the Shadow Department to investigate all the God-Kings who had heard the Destroyer Tyrant preach in the past century.

When he heard the command, Cloud Cat God King was a little confused.

Because... even she, after knowing that Zhao Ji existed and the exact time when Qiu Tu came to ask for the "Tracing Stone", would still list Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji as key suspects.

Not to mention the cunning and shrewd Princess Radiant Fate, who has been in charge of the "Destruction Faction" for many years.

As a result, Princess Huiming did not include Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji as key suspects.

Even the investigation order given to the "Shadow Division" only concerned Qiu Tu, without mentioning Zhao Ji at all.

The Cloud Cat God King also came from the old foxes of the "Temple of Order". Even if his level is average, he has seen the world, even if he has never eaten pork: this is completely a deliberate attempt to guide the direction of the investigation.

So, after hesitating, wavering, and doubting for a long time, the Cloud Cat God King still asked about Princess Huiming with some trepidation.

To everyone's surprise, Princess Huiming asked her to keep the matter a secret and to do everything according to her instructions.

This command greatly frightened the Cloud Cat God King.

Because she knew that Princess Huiming was clearly trying to deliberately conceal the truth about the tyrant's destruction.

It's important to know that the Destruction Tyrant is one of the top three experts in the entire world, and the king of the "Destruction Faction".

Even Princess Huiming would find it difficult to contend with her.

The path to supreme power is what the Destroyer Tyrant values ​​most, yet now the Radiant Princess is trying to hide it from him. If this is exposed, it could lead to a major disaster!

To be honest, if it weren't for the soul contract he had with Princess Huiming, Cloud Cat God King really wouldn't want to get involved in this matter...

Fortunately, it seems that only she and Princess Huiming know the truth about Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji. So, despite her fear, she can still barely hold on.

But the immense pressure has also forced her to frantically sort out the relationship and anomalies between the Radiant Princess and the Destruction Tyrant over the past two days.

The results were shocking; you wouldn't believe it until you looked into it.

Previously, she had always believed that Princess Huiming and the Tyrant of Destruction were a loving father and daughter.

As it turns out, upon closer examination, she discovered that there seemed to be a lot of shady dealings between the father and daughter.

Among them... the biggest problem is the Star Gazing God King.

Cloud Cat God-King was a veteran God-King, and over the long years, she had seen all sorts of clones, incarnations, and even beings with the same soul but different bodies. But she had never seen anything like Princess Radiant Fate and Stargazing God-King.

First of all, a normal clone and the original body are two sides of the same coin, and sharing memories is the most basic premise.

As a result... Princess Huiming and the Stargazing God King were like two independent individuals, their memories were not shared.

Secondly, the personalities of Princess Huiming and the Stargazing God King are also completely different.

Princess Huiming is dignified, domineering, and prioritizes rationality.

The Star Gazing God King, however, has a rather easygoing personality. He is also quiet and doesn't like to communicate with others.

A deity splits into two incarnations with different memories and personalities.

Chapter 951 The Five Years Erased (Seeking Monthly Tickets at the Beginning of the Month)

Besides these, what truly terrified the Cloud Cat God King was...

She discovered that she and Princess Huiming had clearly signed a soul contract as "betrothal slaves," and their souls were deeply bound together. However... all these years, she had been unable to sense the presence of the Star Gazing God King...

In a sense, Princess Huiming and the Stargazing God King had no connection at all, or rather... their souls were not even the same.

The original body and the clone don't share memories, have different personalities, and even different souls. Is this truly the relationship between the original body and the clone?

There's absolutely no problem in saying they are two different people, right?

In fact, Cloud Cat God King should have noticed these obvious abnormalities long ago, but... she was not a careful or cautious person by nature, and she never thought of doubting her master.

It wasn't until this incident that she pieced together all the clues. Then she discovered the strangeness of the Radiant Princess's true form and her clone.

After discovering these clues, Cloud Cat God King couldn't help but begin investigating what happened back then.

At this point, the archives of the film department played a crucial role.

While going through the ancient files of the "Destroying Royal Court" intelligence department dating back a thousand years, she discovered something astonishing: all the files from before and after the appearance of the Star Gazing God King had been destroyed.

Moreover, during those five years, all the files, regardless of their security classification, vanished without a trace.

It was as if an invisible hand had forcibly erased those five years from the long river of history.

Immediately afterwards, Cloud Cat God King discovered that the intelligence file of Princess Radiant Fate, which existed before the appearance of Star Gazing God King, showed obvious signs of being modified.

Princess Huiming is the second-in-command of the entire "Destruction Royal Court" and is actually in charge.

What kind of person would dare to tamper with her information?

Thinking this, Cloud Cat God King couldn't help but call over the relevant data manager and then subtly inquired about it.

However, she discovered that... this position had already gone through countless managers.

Moreover, especially a thousand years ago, the managers in this position changed even more frequently.

As for the God-King who was in charge of these materials at the time, not only was he transferred to another post long ago, but it is also unknown how many lifetimes he has been reincarnated and how many memories he has retained.

This made Yunmao Shenwang realize that the waters back then were very deep.

Fortunately, it is possible that the person who modified the archives thought that no one would care about these minor details. Indeed, no one has examined these archives for nearly a thousand years, so the traces of modification were not made using particularly sophisticated methods.

Therefore, the Cloud Cat God-King used her power to search for some magical artifacts and quickly restored the altered files. However, she discovered that the modified content of these files was entirely the record of the Radiant Princess's cultivation level.

At first, she thought that the file modification was to embellish Princess Huiming's talent and make her advancement speed faster.

As a result, after she recovered, she realized that she had completely misunderstood.

Princess Huiming's advancement speed was actually slowed down by someone!

According to the original records, Princess Huiming was born a deity. She advanced to the rank of Celestial God at the age of eight, became a God-King at the age of twelve, and was already a Guardian God-King at the age of eighteen. At the age of twenty-three, she broke through to the rank of Advanced God-King.

However, the revised archives pushed back the development of each realm by five years.

The revised version of Princess Huiming shows that she only advanced to the level of a Celestial God at the age of thirteen, and only broke through to the level of a High-Level God King at the age of twenty-eight.

Although the modified cultivation speed is still unprecedented in history, it is of a level that is unparalleled in the past and present.

However... Cloud Cat God King immediately noticed the most crucial information: five years, another five years!

This number kept swirling and flashing in the mind of Cloud Cat God King.

Cloud Cat God King was almost certain that the five years that had disappeared, and the five years that had been altered, both pointed to a huge secret.

Because, according to the later records, it was five years later that the high-level god-kings of the Destruction Path, who were originally fragmented and acting independently, all began to bow down to the Destruction Tyrant.

Then... the Star Gazing God King appeared.

The coincidences are so striking that it's impossible not to be suspicious.

In other words, the "Destroyer Gods" are all simple-minded individuals who wouldn't fake anything; if they were "Order Gods," they wouldn't have revealed such a glaring flaw...

After piecing together all the clues, Cloud Cat Goddess quickly came to a bold guess that even made her heart pound:

Perhaps... back then, Princess Huiming's talent was simply too terrifying, her advancement too fast, so fast and terrifying that even her father, the Destruction Tyrant, felt apprehensive and even unable to tolerate it.

As a result, the two had a conflict, argued, and even fought a big battle.

In the end, the powerful and ruthless Destruction Tyrant won the great battle. He then used thunderous means to forcibly tear apart the soul of the Radiant Princess, splitting her soul in two!

Most of the divine souls remained in the body of the Radiant Princess, with only a small portion being used by the Destruction Tyrant to create the "fake" Stargazing God King for other purposes.

Considering recent events, Cloud Cat God King believes that Princess Huiming has most likely been pretending and enduring for a thousand years, and her hatred for this matter is probably already deeply ingrained.

Princess Huiming is likely waiting because she lacks the strength to do so, waiting for an opportunity that would be enough to overthrow the tyrannical ruler's rule.

Now, with Princess Zhao embarking on the path to supreme power, the Destruction Tyrant's status, influence, and even strength have been greatly affected. Thus, Princess Huiming can no longer contain herself and begins to prepare for action...

……

After recalling what he had extracted from the Cloud Cat God King, Qiu Tu tapped the table as he pondered quietly.

His eyes, hidden behind the mask, were narrowed, and his mind was racing.

Qiu Tu felt that Yunmao Shenwang's analysis and speculation made some sense, but he still felt that something was not right, as if something was missing.

For example... Princess Shinmei's personality.

A woman who can endure for a thousand years must possess an incredibly resilient spirit and a profound level of cunning. Would such a person truly succumb to temptation and betray her for a mere "possible opportunity"?

This is neither in line with Princess Huiming's personality nor her style of doing things.

Qiu Tu felt that there must be some clues here that the Cloud Cat God King didn't know or hadn't guessed.

Moreover, Qiu Tu felt that he vaguely saw some of Jasmine's shadow in this matter, and he didn't know if it was just his imagination.

This may be because the situations of Princess Zephyr and Laura are very similar to those of Princess Kaguya and the Stargazing God King.

Combining this clue with the series of recent events, Qiu Tu had an even bolder idea than Cloud Cat God King's conjecture.

Perhaps... Princess Huiming felt a sense of kinship with someone of the same kind?

Or perhaps, she discovered an opportunity to turn the tide from the God-King Zephyr?

However... these are all just speculations, and Qiu Tu needs to verify them personally to confirm their accuracy.

However, regardless of the circumstances, once Qiu Tu's idea is verified, then Princess Huiming might truly become Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji's most important ally and partner!

Thinking this, Qiu Tu slowly pulled himself out of his thoughts, and then his fingers stopped tapping.

He touched the silver mask on his face, his gaze falling on the intelligence report he had personally placed on the table regarding the visit of the high-ranking god-king of the "Life Faction"...

A high-ranking god-king forcibly visits, and it seems that a mere guardian god-king like Cloud Cat God-king can't make a decision, right?

Perhaps... I can use this opportunity to meet Princess Huiming?

The palace of the princesses was as cold and desolate as ever. Huge black stone pillars supported the towering dome, and the destructive runes carved on them seemed to flow slowly as if they were alive, exuding a chilling aura.

Qiu Tu walked through the spacious hall with practiced ease. The guards on both sides and the maids along the way all bowed and greeted him, "Lord Silver Mask..."

After having a maid announce his arrival, Qiu Tu stepped into Princess Huiming's study upon receiving her summons.

However, upon entering the study, Qiu Tu did not see that familiar figure behind the long black jade desk.

He paused slightly, his gaze sweeping across the room, and finally, in front of a huge floor-to-ceiling window in the study, he saw the stunningly beautiful figure dressed in a black python robe.

Princess Huiming stood quietly by the window with her back to him, her hands behind her back, her long, black hair cascading down to her waist.

She did not handle official business as usual, nor did she exude that suffocating aura of authority. Instead, she stood by the window, gazing at the imperial city shrouded in dark red clouds outside.

The golden rays of the setting sun shone through the window, casting a soft halo around her slender body.

This was a demeanor Qiu Tu had never seen in her before; she didn't resemble a monarch, but rather a woman burdened with worries, imprisoned in a magnificent cage.

Hearing Qiu Tu's approaching footsteps, she did not turn around. Her clear, cold voice rang out in the empty hall, carrying a hint of barely perceptible weariness.

"What's the matter?"

Qiu Tu walked a few steps behind her and stopped.
