At the same time.
Qiu Tu stood by the window of the prison city, his expression hidden by a silver mask, but his mind was racing, reviewing the events of the past few days.
However, the more he reviewed the events, the more uneasy he became. It was as if countless threads of cause and effect were intertwined around him, making it increasingly difficult for him to breathe.
The thought of Jasmine, the Tyrant of Destruction, and the Radiant Princess—three high-level god-kings he was utterly powerless against—intensified his unease.
'We can't keep playing like this...'
"Playing like this, you're destined to lose."
People will die.

Chapter 961 The Witch of Chaos Has Turned Against Us (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Qiu Tu didn't think this way for no reason.
He was so uneasy for several reasons.
First of all, his ability is very special, completely opposite to that of Zehime: he can easily defeat weaker opponents, but he cannot fight opponents of higher levels.
This time, his allies and opponents at the poker table are three high-ranking god-kings.
This means that if he loses, or if the three people overturn the table, he will have no ability to counterbalance or resist.
More importantly, with Qiu Tu's current strength, even if he schemes and plots, he cannot pose a threat to those three opponents and allies.
This results in the opponent being able to lose an unlimited number of times, while he cannot lose even once.
Because if the other party loses, it won't matter much, but if he loses, he will... die.
Secondly...whether it's Jasmine, the Destroyer Tyrant, or the Radiant Princess, they are all too intelligent and too uncontrollable.
These three ruthless individuals clearly each had their own purposes, plans, and schemes.
Their goals and plans are very complex, and it would be extremely difficult for Qiu Tu to figure them all out.
For example, jasmine...
Qiu Tu's biggest unease actually stemmed from her.
Because Jasmine was so unpredictable, in order to ensure that everything went smoothly, Qiu Tu not only sent a secret message to Jasmine, but also sent one to Lao Bai.
It was thanks to this double insurance that Lu Yao, the God-King, was able to resolve this crisis without serious harm.
However... even though he successfully "remotely controlled" Jasmine this time, Qiu Tu realized through the past two years of getting along with her that Jasmine was very uncontrollable.
And most importantly... Jasmine is different from the other god-kings.
Princess Huiming, for example, sees Qiu Tu, Zhao Ji, and La Ri Luo as one entity; she can win them over or deal with them all at once.
But Jasmine is different. Perhaps because of her close relationship with Zhao Ji and her special arrangements for La Ri Luo, she clearly distinguishes between Qiu Tu, Zhao Ji, and La Ri Luo.
Among them, she had the best relationship with Zhao Ji, was most affectionate and indulgent towards La Ri Luo, and towards Qiu Tu... she was like a pig that had eaten her own cabbage, showing little affection.
Considering her demonic personality, Qiu Tu felt that while he could successfully force Zhao Ji to take action by threatening her safety, she might also use this crisis to scheme against him.
Besides Jasmine, Qiu Tu also didn't trust Princess Huiming.
As a typical political creature, Qiu Tu knew all too well the personality and style of Princess Huiming: everything was based on self-interest.
Such people are willing to sacrifice everything once their core interests are threatened.
Therefore, once the situation deteriorates—for example, if... the matter of God-King Lu Yao is leaked, and her schemes against the tyrant are exposed—what will happen?
Therefore, in order to regain the trust of the destructive tyrant, or to buy time, she will most likely need to put forward a scapegoat to explain everything.
At this point, Qiu Tu... or rather, Cloud Cat God King, became the best choice.
After all... the fact that God King Lu Yao knew the whereabouts of "Zhao Ji" was something he told God King Yun Mao alone. And God King Yun Mao reported this to Princess Hui Ming alone.
So... it's very likely that Princess Huiming didn't report this matter to the Tyrant of Destruction because "Cloud Cat God King" never reported it to her in the first place.
It was only after figuring out all these calculations that Qiu Tu realized his current situation was extremely critical.
Right now, it's like he's walking on a tightrope; veer left and he's dead, veer right and he's dead too.
Planning and scheming are not gambling, especially when the stakes are completely unequal.
Fortunately, he gained a lot from impersonating the Cloud Cat God King this time.
Not only did they learn the secrets of the Radiant Princess, the Destroyer Tyrant, and the God-King Lu Yao, but they also successfully helped Zhao Ji nip the danger in the bud.
So... I have to go....
With this in mind, Qiu Tu's eyes hardened, and he made up his mind.
......
After half an hour.
Prison City.
The atmosphere at this intelligence hub of the "Destroyed Royal Court" was noticeably more tense than usual. Countless members of the Shadow Division hurried along, their expressions grave, and the air was thick with the oppressive atmosphere of an impending storm.
At the prison gates, a group of Shadow Division members were gathering, and two of them, who clearly knew each other, were whispering to each other.
"Huh? Wild Knife, you're here too? Weren't you on vacation?" The tall, thin member of the Shadow Division looked at his companion in surprise.
The chubby member known as Wild Blade sighed, a hint of helplessness on his face. "Yeah... because of the matter of God King Lu Yao, all departments have been operating at full capacity lately, and the Shadow Department is simply too busy."
"So, I was forcibly summoned back by a series of communications from my superiors."
"You mean that damned deer... Hmm, Your Majesty, why did it disappear for no reason!"
As he said this, he looked around, lowered his voice, and leaned closer with a sly look, asking, "By the way... you've been well-informed at the ministry these past few days. How's it going? Have you found the person?"
Hearing the chubby member's words, the tall, thin member shook his head slightly and said with a sneer, "How could there possibly be any clues?"
"That's a high-level God-King. If it were so easy to find their whereabouts, would we still be just minor gods?"
As he spoke, he lowered his voice and whispered, "To be honest, I feel like the higher-ups are just putting on a show."
"They also know that unless Her Majesty Lu Yao comes out herself, it is impossible to find her."
Hearing his words, the chubby member nodded slightly. Then, as if he had just remembered something, he asked, "By the way, who's leading this operation?"
"I don't know." The tall, thin member shook his head, looking somewhat bewildered, clearly not knowing either.
Just as the two were chatting, a slight commotion suddenly arose in the prison city. Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw a figure wearing a silver mask leading a formidable group of Shadow Division members, slowly emerging from the prison city.
The figure was tall and imposing, clad in the black, tailored uniform of the Shadow Division. A cold, smooth silver mask concealed only a pair of deep, night-sky-like eyes. An invisible pressure emanated naturally, causing the surrounding noisy crowd to fall silent. It was none other than the "Silver-Masked God King," one of the Shadow Division's two leaders.
Upon seeing the "Silver-Masked God King," the two members couldn't help but exchange a glance, both seeing incredulous surprise in each other's eyes.
"It's actually Lord Silver Mask leading the team personally?!"
It seems this matter is indeed very serious.
Thinking this, they dared not whisper to each other anymore, and quickly stood up straight, tidied their appearance, and joined the ranks.
The "Silver-Masked God King" arrived in front of the assembled team, his indifferent gaze sweeping over everyone before he simply said, "The mission, as you all should know, is to find the God King Lu Yao."
"I won't say more."
"I'll only say one thing: find the God-King Lu Yao and level up three times!"
The voice of the "Silver-Masked God King" was not loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears, carrying an undeniable power.
After offering his encouragement, the Silver-Masked God-King glanced at everyone again and said in a low voice, "Let's go."
At a command, the group transformed into dozens of streaks of light, soaring into the sky and rapidly heading towards the world passage of the "Destroying Royal Court".
Seeing this, the fat man and the tall, thin member quickly activated their escape techniques and followed the group.
Led by the "Silver-masked God King," the group left the "Destruction Royal Court" without any hindrance, heading towards the place where the Deer Yao God King had disappeared.
Because the target of their search was the high-level god-king Lu Yao, the group did not continue their high-speed escape after arriving at their destination. Instead, they dispersed as ordered, spreading out their spiritual power to conduct a thorough search.
After searching for several hours, the group regrouped as ordered and prepared to move on to the next area.
However, when they reunited and saw the Silver-Masked God King again, the fat man and the tall, thin member felt that there was something strange about the Silver-Masked God King before them...
The feeling was subtle. In terms of aura, it remained as unfathomable as ever; in terms of physique and appearance, it seemed to be no different. Even the breath remained unchanged.
But... it seems a little different from what I just saw in the prison city.
However, with the task of searching for the God-King Lu Yao now extremely important, they didn't have time to think about it. They simply assumed that their mental energy was being depleted and that they were having hallucinations, so they put the matter out of their minds and continued to devote themselves to the search.
However... what they didn't know was that thousands of meters above their heads, Qiu Tu, dressed in black, was hidden in the clouds, quietly observing everything below.
Indeed, after leaving the Destruction Royal Court and making sure that Princess Huiming and the Destruction Tyrant would not notice him, Qiu Tu used the power of "Order Space" to conceal all the Shadow Division members who were traveling with him.
Then... without them noticing, he quietly released the Cloud Cat God King, whose memories of the past few days had been implanted in him, and then slipped away to go into hiding.
Cloud Cat God King was clearly unaware that he had become a scapegoat without anyone noticing.
The memories implanted through the "Order Space" were so real that she believed her experiences over the past few days were all her own.
Therefore, she naturally continued to act as the Silver-Masked God-King, leading the Shadow Division members to meticulously carry out the orders given by the Radiant Princess, searching for the whereabouts of the Deer-Yao God-King.
Because Qiu Tu didn't activate "perfect replication" mode when facing these ordinary gods and god-kings. The Cloud Cat God-King and the "Silver Mask God-King" he was impersonating were ultimately different in some subtle habits and temperaments, so it was normal that some traces were left behind and others noticed something was amiss.
However, Qiu Tu had already calculated that with Cloud Cat God King's absolute authority in the Shadow Department, even if someone felt something was amiss, they would never dare to question it.
Therefore, Qiu Tu was able to successfully switch his identity with the Cloud Cat God King under the watchful eyes of everyone.
Of course... Qiu Tu isn't the kind of person who does things himself but lets others take the risks for him.
Before leaving, he also wrapped the "Drunken Dream" medicine that Elena had given him, which he had intended to use to rescue Old Bai but hadn't yet used, in a special way, and then secretly implanted it into the most hidden part of the Cloud Cat God King's body. (Chapter 936)
If the Cloud Cat God King suffers a severe blow, the outer layer of "Drunken Life, Dreamlike Death" will shatter and spread out.
At that time, the Cloud Cat God King will fall into a state of suspended animation: his vital signs will completely disappear, his soul will be hidden, and his divine power will dissipate, making him no different from being dead. Even high-level God Kings will not be able to distinguish between the real and the fake.
It's said that the absorption of the drug in that secret place is twice as effective as oral administration, so Qiu Tu didn't even dare to stuff all of "Drunken Life, Dreamlike Death" inside...
'We've done everything we could. As for whether she survives, that's up to fate...'
Thinking this, Qiu Tu took one last deep look at the figure wearing a silver mask below, then completely merged into the void, silently leaving the area, and began to patiently wait for things to develop.
.....
Qiu Tu didn't have to wait long.
The next day, a rumor spread like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, reaching the entire ancient continent at an astonishing speed.
The message was very simple:
The reason why the God-King Lu Yao of the Life Path secretly visited the "Destruction Faction" was because she possessed accurate information and location of the God-King who had just embarked on the path to the Supreme! Therefore, she wanted to use this information to make a deal with the Destruction Tyrant.
As a result, the Witch of Chaos was also very interested in the new God King, so after learning about it, she took direct action and "forcibly" invited God King Lu Yao to the "Chaos Faction" as a guest.
As soon as this news came out, the entire ancient continent fell silent, and all the gods sensed an impending storm.
Everyone has witnessed the actions of the Destroyer Tyrant and the Destroyer Royal Court in the past two days.
It is said that on the day the new god-king embarked on the path to supreme power, the tyrant of destruction nearly tore his world apart.
In recent days, in order to find that new God King, the entire Destruction Court has mobilized its entire forces, with countless experts being dispatched to various parts of the "Ancient Continent." It seems as if they want to turn the whole world upside down.
The extent to which the Destroyer Tyrant values this new God-King is now quite evident.
As a result, Lu Yao, the God-King who held the key clues, was intercepted by the Chaos Witch right at the doorstep of the Destroyer Royal Court.
This is like pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth; it's a blatant provocation against a destructive tyrant!
Can the Destroyer Tyrant really stand idly by?
These two giants, who have both embarked on the path to the highest realm and stand at the pinnacle of the world, will they really fight each other over this?
In an instant, countless eyes were focused on the Destroyer Royal Court and the Chaos Faction, eager to see how things would unfold next.
However, just as the outside world was speculating, the situation inside the Destroyer's Court became even more bizarre...
Upon learning this news, all the high-ranking members of the "Destroy the Royal Court" were trembling with fear, walking on thin ice, and dared not utter a sound.
Because only these key figures knew: this matter needs to be repaid!
Does God-King Lu Yao have information about the new God-King who has embarked on the path to the highest realm, and his location?
Is God-King Lu Yao going to use the information and location of the new God-King to make a deal with the Tyrant of Destruction?
