Then let them offer their loyalty!

"This will not only push her cultivation to the peak of the Guardian God King realm in a short time, but also... allow her to use this power to ignite herself and try to embark on the path to the highest realm again."

Sacrificing oneself!?

To be honest, Princess Huiming's words moved Lillard and Yan Hao even more than the previous secret that "she was a puppet."

They looked at Princess Huiming, a woman who had always presented herself as dignified, domineering, and ruthless, but whose words at this moment contained a sense of desperation and determination.

She wasn't joking. She was willing to use her own "death" to bring about the rebirth of another "self," to gamble on a future.

This could be a near-death experience, or even utter ruin. But if successful, it's the choice with the greatest potential to change the entire situation and alter the fate of all three!

Therefore, seeing Princess Huiming going to such lengths, this time, there was no longer the slightest hesitation in Lillard and Yan Hao's eyes.

The two did not say much, but solemnly nodded deeply to Princess Huiming and the Star Gazing God King behind her.

"We'll take the bet!"

.....

Meanwhile, the three of them were discussing their future.

Not far from the battlefield, Qiu Tu was also secretly observing these three high-level god-kings using the Cataclysmic Treasure.

Although he couldn't hear what the three high-level god-kings were talking about, Qiu Tu could guess most of it from their lip movements and changes in expression.

'A sacrifice...?' Qiu Tu frowned slightly. 'Princess Huiming, you intend to use yourself to fulfill the wishes of that Stargazing God-King?'

Or perhaps, when she returns to the "Path of the Supreme," her consciousness will take over?

'However... this mysterious path... this path that has never given birth to a supreme deity, does such a so-called 'Supreme Path' truly exist?'

'Isn't the existence of a supreme path within the three lower paths just speculation?'

'And... even if she could successfully recover her strength as a high-level god-king within seven days and embark on the path to supreme power, becoming the first mysterious deity on the ancient continent to do so... but...'

Qiu Tu's gaze became distant.

Can a god-king who has embarked on the supreme path of the "lower three paths" truly contend with a god-king who has embarked on the supreme path of the "upper three paths"?

'Especially since the Tyrant is not just an ordinary god-king who has embarked on the path to supreme power.'

'He has been on the path to supreme power for at least a thousand years. His experience and strength far surpass those of a newly ascended God-King like the Radiant Princess.'

Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but furrow his brows deeply.

He felt that Princess Huiming was intelligent enough not to have overlooked this point.

But... she had no other choice...

Thinking this, Qiu Tu fell silent.

He pondered silently for a while, then blinked thoughtfully.

Huh? Princess Huiming has no way, but I have a way...

After all... Princess Huiming's analysis was wrong.

Currently, on the "Ancient Continent," only Order Celestial and Chaos Witch can truly contend with the Tyrant of Destruction. But... in seven days, there may be another one.

That is... Zhao Ji, who is currently advancing in the ranks.

Based on Qiu Tu's understanding of Zhao Ji's strength:

Even though Zhao Ji is only a newly promoted high-level god-king, with her superb combat talent and rich combat experience, she can still fight against the Destruction Tyrant.

The only question is whether Zhao Ji can advance to the rank of High God King within 7 days.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu hesitated for a moment, but finally headed towards the desert where Zhao Ji was in seclusion.

He was most adept at winning people's hearts and gaining loyalty. He knew that no one cared about adding flowers to brocade, but offering charcoal in the snow was extremely rare.

If I can save Princess Radiant Fate from the clutches of the Tyrant of Destruction, given her personality, it shouldn't be a problem to bring her under my command.

Soon, Qiu Tu arrived at the desert where Zhao Ji was in seclusion...

The spiritual power spread out like an invisible tide.

After carefully confirming that no one was following or spying within a radius of a thousand miles, Qiu Tu jumped into the boundless desert without the slightest hesitation.

The sand was cool and fine. Qiu Tu followed his memory and burrowed downwards.

He didn't know how much time had passed—maybe half an hour, maybe only twenty minutes. Finally, the void gap where he had left appeared before Qiu Tu.

He slipped effortlessly into the crevice. Before Qiu Tu's eyes stood a magnificent palace entirely constructed of sand and gravel. It was none other than Zhao Ji's secluded retreat.

Perhaps because she had already embarked on the path to the highest realm, the scale of the realm that Zhao Ji passed through this time was not very large.

In fact, because of her deliberate concealment, from the outside, it was impossible to tell that this Sand Palace harbored a god-king who had embarked on the path to supreme power.

After looking around the palace, Qiu Tu did not disturb Zhao Ji, but sat down cross-legged and waited patiently.

He remembered that when he last parted ways with Zhao Ji, she had said that she would be able to advance to a high-level god-king in at most half a month.

A week has passed, and there are still 7 days left before the tyrant recovers from his injuries and the internal affairs are sorted out. The time is just right. So there is no need to rush.

Moreover... heroes always appear at the most crucial moment to maximize their value.

Princess Huiming and her allies have not yet been truly driven to the brink of despair; the tyrant's fury still needs time to build. It is far too early for our side to intervene.

It just so happens that I've been busy dealing with various changes lately and haven't had time to cultivate and consolidate my realm.

Now is a good time to take advantage of this period and train properly to catch up with Zhao Ji's progress.

With that in mind, Qiu Tu no longer hesitated.

He found a flat spot not far from the palace gate and sat down cross-legged. Then he gently closed his eyes, calmed his mind, and began to concentrate on his cultivation, abandoning all distracting thoughts.

As he cultivated, the sand palace began to slowly release some of its most primal catastrophic power, which he then gradually absorbed...

This caused Qiu Tu's aura to become increasingly solid and profound, and it was rapidly increasing...

.....

Meanwhile, Aria.

Jasmine leaned back on the soft throne, resting her chin on her hand as she listened to Old Bai's report.

When Jasmine heard that she had turned the entire Destruction Royal Court upside down and torn it apart with just a little trick, she was slightly taken aback, and blinked her big, watery almond eyes.

Then, she covered her pink lips and giggled.

She laughed so hard she almost fell over, until a few glistening tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, before she slowly stopped.

Then she tossed her chestnut-brown curls, straightened up, looked at His Highness's old white hair, and said with a slight smile, "..."

"How about that? Was my move pretty good? I took down a formidable enemy without lifting a finger."

Hearing Jasmine's self-praise, Old Bai did not refute her, but nodded gently, then bowed and said in praise, "Your Majesty's plans are flawless, I am ashamed to admit my inferiority."

He paused for a moment, then continued the conversation along the same lines.

"Although the High-Ranking God-Kings represent the 'Origin of the World' and wield control over the entire pathway..."

"But similarly, they are also bound together with the paths they each represent."

"The stronger the overall power of the pathway where the advanced god-king resides, the longer the duration of the pathway era, and the more terrifying the bonus it brings to the advanced god-king."

"This is also the most important reason why our Chaotic Faction has lasted for thousands of years, and why your strength is the greatest in the world."

"And now... the Destruction Faction has split in two and fallen apart. Even the Radiant Princess is preparing to change her path, so the power of the Destruction Faction will be greatly reduced."

"In this way, the Destruction Tyrant will not only immediately lose some of his power, but also face a host of troubles later on."

"For example... how to deal with the other two high-ranking god-kings."

Upon hearing Lao Bai's words, Jasmine, who was sitting high on the throne, couldn't help but smile, and two beautiful dimples appeared on her face.

Then she said,

"Yes. If... the Destruction Tyrant wants to rebuild his prestige within the Destruction Path, then... he must deal with Huiming, Lillard, and Yanhao with ruthless methods."

"But... once he really eliminates the three high-level god-kings within the path, the overall strength of the Destruction Path will probably immediately plummet from the peak of the top three paths to the bottom."

"This is almost an unsolvable open scheme. No matter what he chooses, the decline of the Destruction faction is already a foregone conclusion."

Hearing Jasmine's words, Old Bai nodded gently, indicating his agreement with Jasmine's idea.

However... immediately afterward, he couldn't help but sigh, "However, this actually benefits the path of order and the path of immortality."

"Originally, those three factions were the most likely to seize the next era."

"As a result, the Destruction faction is now out of the game, and the Order and Immortal paths have suddenly changed from a three-way standoff to a two-way battle for supremacy!"

Upon hearing Lao Bai's analysis, Jasmine's expression slowly returned to normal. Her slender, pale fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the throne, as if she were contemplating something very important.

After a moment, a strange, meaningful smile appeared on her face, then she parted her lips and uttered five words, "That's not necessarily true..."

Perhaps not expecting Jasmine's answer, Old Bai looked at her with a hint of confusion on his face, "Your Majesty means...?"

Faced with Lao Bai's question, Jasmine's smile widened. But a hint of seriousness appeared in her large, watery almond-shaped eyes.

She looked at Lao Bai with calm and authority. Then, while recalling the past, she slowly spoke, "Mu Xin."

"Actually... for thousands of years, I've been thinking about a question."

Old Bai asked in confusion, "What problem?"

Jasmine's gaze seemed to pierce through the palace's dome, looking towards the endless void and the origin of the world.

Why do eras have to cycle? Can't an era just continue indefinitely?

Upon hearing Jasmine's words, even someone as shrewd as Lao Bai couldn't help but feel a jolt in his heart.

He guessed what Jasmine was planning, but he couldn't quite believe it.

Jasmine keenly noticed the shock in his expression and realized that he had already guessed her thoughts.

So... she didn't keep him in suspense any longer, but calmly nodded, "That's right, Lian Zhuang."

Her voice wasn't loud, but it resonated silently throughout the hall.

She looked at Lao Bai with an air of authority and said, "Do you think that after thousands of years of accumulation, our Chaotic Faction is not strong enough?"

"Isn't our foundation far deeper than that of the other factions?"

"Since other paths qualify us to compete for the next era, then... why can't we?"

Upon hearing Jasmine's words, Lao Bai remained silent.

He carefully considered what Jasmine had said, then raised his head and slowly began to speak.

"The reason why eras cycle is because... the origin of the world is attracted by pathways with profound foundations and potential, and then begins to release the foundations and potential of these pathways, helping them realize their power."

"When the potential of this path is fully realized after a long period of time, although the strength will increase, the foundation and potential will gradually weaken. It will need to be re-established."

"At this point, the origin of the world will be attracted by other profound and potentially powerful pathways."

"Therefore... it is extremely difficult to follow the same path for two consecutive eras."

“In the past, there have been other high-level god-kings who wanted to retain their positions. But their thinking was usually focused on their own era, trying to enhance the foundation and potential of their own path.”

"Strengthen your own path while maintaining its substantial potential, ensuring you can still attract the 'Origin of the World.'"

At this point, Lao Bai glanced at Jasmine, and seeing that she didn't nod in agreement with his guess, he immediately changed his approach.

"But... His Majesty's thoughts seem to be somewhat different from theirs?"

Upon hearing this, Jasmine nodded slightly, a half-smile playing on her lips.

"Yes. I'm not just thinking about enhancing the potential of my own approach, but also about weakening the others."

She said slowly, "Our Chaotic Faction has consumed a thousand years of time by ruling the current era, and its potential is almost exhausted."

"But it's okay...."

"As long as we weaken all other paths to a level even weaker than ours, then... when the era changes, we will still be number one, and the origin of the world will naturally have no choice but to choose us."

Upon hearing Jasmine's words, a hint of hesitation appeared between Old Bai's brows. After a moment's thought, he raised the most crucial question in the plan.

"But Your Majesty... even if we succeed in achieving this consecutive reign using this method, what about next time?"

"Even if next time is okay, then... what about the time after that?"
