It should be noted that before today, Qiu Tu and Princess Huiming did not have much of a relationship, and even had many conflicts due to their opposing stances.
Although the other party has always been very tolerant of me, it is because they want to recruit me and Zhao Ji.
This time, the two acted together simply because their interests aligned and they shared a common enemy: the Destroyer Tyrant.
But what she just said was clearly from her own perspective, considering her own interests.
Could it be... that she really intends to form an alliance with me, or even defect to me?
Thinking this, Qiu Tu's eyes flickered slightly.
Just then, as Qiu Tu and Princess Huiming were secretly exchanging information, Jasmine's charming yet authoritative voice suddenly rang in their ears.
"Qiu Tu, Xi Yue, and... Hui Ming, would you like to chat?"
Upon hearing her words, Qiu Tu and Princess Huiming felt a sudden chill and instinctively looked up.
They then discovered that Jasmine had silently appeared behind them without them noticing.
She was barefoot, her small, snow-white feet hovering half a foot off the ground, a sweet, harmless smile on her face.
Of the three, only Zhao Ji sensed her presence immediately, her right hand already on the hilt of her sword, her sword intent poised to be unleashed.
Qiu Tu and Princess Huiming were completely unaware of her approach.
'A protest! A blatant protest!'
Qiu Tu made a decision instantly. Then he looked at Zhao Ji.
After confirming from the other party's calm gaze that Jasmine's actions were not malicious or threatening, Qiu Tu turned to look at Jasmine, a bright smile spreading across his face.
"Since Her Majesty the Witch has invited us, of course we won't refuse. How about... we chat in my world?"
This is a test. Entering the natal world of a high-ranking god-king is tantamount to handing over one's safety to the other party's control.
Even if Jasmine is the best in the world, she may not be able to escape unscathed.
To everyone's surprise, Jasmine did not hesitate at all when faced with Qiu Tu's probing. She nodded and answered decisively.
"it is good."
Seeing Jasmine's cheerful demeanor, Qiu Tu's expression remained unchanged, but he frowned slightly inwardly.
At this point, he was starting to not understand Jasmine anymore.
What exactly does this strongest and most far-reaching woman on the ancient continent want to do?
.....
Soon, the four of them arrived at Qiu Tu's destined world.
Although Qiu Tu's natal world was automatically created when he advanced to the advanced God King level, everything was simple, yet it was no different from the real world.
The sky was a pure azure blue, with two golden suns, one large and one small, hanging above it, casting a warm and gentle glow.
Beneath my feet lies an endless expanse of emerald green grassland, and in the distance, the outlines of rolling mountains and winding rivers are faintly visible, everything brimming with the primal vitality of life.
The four landed on the grassland. Qiu Tu casually waved his hand, and the grass on the ground quickly grew, meandered, and twisted, turning into four chairs.
A gentle breeze ripples through the green grass, filling the air with the fresh scent of earth and grass.
The four of them took their seats. Qiu Tu looked at Jasmine and asked, "Jasmine, what did you want to talk to the three of us about?"
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Jasmine glanced around at Qiu Tu's natal world, which was still in its infancy, and didn't keep him in suspense.
She put aside her usual nonchalance and said, "What I wanted to talk to you about this time is actually the same thing that I and the Order of Heaven discussed."
She paused, then parted her red lips slightly and uttered eight words.
"Six paths to enlightenment, attaining the highest level of enlightenment."
As soon as the words were spoken, Zhao Ji and Hui Ming's expressions remained largely unchanged, only Qiu Tu's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.
Jasmine keenly noticed this micro-expression, shook her head slightly inwardly, and then began to explain.
"I believe that when you were promoted to advanced God Kings, you all received subtle guidance from the origin of the world."
"To attain the highest enlightenment, one needs to attain enlightenment simultaneously in all six realms."
"In other words, to attain the highest level of enlightenment, one must simultaneously give birth to a high-level god-king with the qualifications and talents for the highest position in the same era through the six major pathways of order, chaos, destruction, immortality, life, and mystery."
"Then, these six people must strive for the highest position at the same time and support each other in order to truly take that final step and attain the position of the supreme god-king."
Her voice possessed a strange magic, and her eyes shimmered slightly.
"The Supreme God-King...is in charge of the six attributes of the cataclysmic power of the entire multidimensional world."
"Therefore, once one has successfully attained enlightenment, one can transcend the cycle of reincarnation and will be immortal and indestructible, living as long as heaven and earth, regardless of the past, present, or future."
After speaking, Jasmine paused, her gaze sweeping across the three faces, giving them time to process what she had said.
"As the first high-level god-king to receive this kind of feeling, over the past few thousand years, I have been verifying my own feelings while also searching for and cultivating my fellow travelers."
At this point, her gaze fell on Zehime and Terumi, "For example, the two of you."
She paused for a moment, "For example, Lariluo, for example... Muxin."
Qiu Tu was already used to being ignored by these top geniuses in terms of talent. So, although Jasmine didn't mention him, Qiu Tu didn't care at all.
Anyway... he's not just talented, he's cheating.
When Jasmine mentioned Larilu, he wasn't surprised. After all, Larilu and Zhaoji were two sides of the same coin, and her true talent was almost on par with Zhaoji's, it just hadn't been discovered yet.
So, to his surprise, there was only one person: Old Bai.
To be honest, Qiu Tu always thought that Lao Bai's talent was mediocre, and that he was from a chaotic path, with his path blocked by Jasmine. He never expected that Jasmine would value him so much.
Moreover, if he remembered correctly, Old Bai was only the guardian of the God King before, right?
Does Jasmine think so highly of him?
Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck Qiu Tu, connecting all the recent events together.
He couldn't help but look up at Jasmine, and then asked, "Mu Xin... is that the third advanced God King who just broke through recently?"
"He changed his approach?"
Before Jasmine could answer, Qiu Tu tentatively voiced his guess.
"The Path to Immortality?"
"Does he want to compete with the three immortal giants for the title of 'Immortal' in order to embark on the path to the highest realm?"
Upon seeing Qiu Tu, having only heard his name, she immediately connected all the clues and deduced the whole story. A complex and indescribable look of amazement flashed in Jasmine's beautiful almond-shaped eyes.
Putting aside those prejudices, this man's keen insight and wisdom make him an impeccable choice for a partner.
Unfortunately... he was too close to all these women.
If something unexpected or even wrong happens on the path of attaining enlightenment through the Six Paths, one will have no control over the situation and will be unable to take the alternative path.
Of course, more importantly... judging from Qiu Tu's reaction just now, he did not receive the perception of the world's origin, did not know about the Six Paths of Simultaneous Attainment, and simply did not have the talent to embark on the path to the supreme realm.
Thinking this, Jasmine sighed inwardly, but nodded without changing her expression, which was considered as acknowledging Qiu Tu's guess.
Upon receiving Jasmine's affirmation, Qiu Tu was once again startled.
He suddenly understood why Jasmine had agreed so readily to come and help him out.
Moreover... he didn't make a move at all.
Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but look at Jasmine first, and then at Hui Ming beside him.
As the person who has been in charge of destroying the royal court for nearly a thousand years, Huiming's wisdom is not much worse than Qiu Tu's.
Therefore, when Huiming heard about the "path to immortality," the "immortals," and saw Qiu Tu's strange gaze, he immediately guessed everything.
She couldn't help but look at Jasmine, her beautiful face suddenly turning serious.
"The reason you agreed to come and provide backup is that you plan to take my sister, Princess Starmoon, away while we're fighting and the Royal Court is shattered?"
Seeing Qiu Tu's gaze and hearing Princess Huiming's words, Jasmine couldn't help but reveal a charming smile. "It's really convenient to chat with smart people."
"It's transparent with just a little bit."
She paused for a moment, and before Princess Huiming could continue her questioning, her expression suddenly changed, and she said, "However... unfortunately, I'm too late."
"While you were fighting, I was searching for the whereabouts of that 'Immortal.'"
"But unfortunately... there is no trace of her in the entire Destruction Royal Court."
Upon hearing Jasmine's words, both Qiu Tu and Princess Huiming were startled and had a bad feeling.

Qiu Tu and Princess Hui exchanged a glance, then spoke in unison.
"The Immortal Heavenly Tomb?"
The breeze on the grassland seemed to freeze for a moment because of this.
Jasmine gave a sweet smile to her innocent face and nodded slightly, confirming their guess.
Then she gently wiggled her bare feet and began to explain.
"Actually, my first suspect was the Destroyer Tyrant."
She always wore a half-smile, a smile that, combined with her words, sent a chill down one's spine.
"I think that after he personally blocked one of his daughters' path to enlightenment a thousand years ago, he was preparing to sacrifice or possess another daughter, and then leave himself a way out for rebirth."
When she mentioned "blocking a daughter's path to enlightenment," her gaze seemingly casually swept over Princess Huiming.
Princess Huiming remained expressionless, her face, as beautiful as a creation of a god, showing no emotion whatsoever, as if Jasmine were discussing an old story that had nothing to do with her.
Seeing that she didn't react, Jasmine didn't mind. She subtly looked away, then pointed to the lingering celestial phenomena outside and continued,
"However, the phenomena of the world cannot be faked. Only when a high-level god-king completely perishes, with both body and soul destroyed, can the entire multidimensional world trigger such a terrifying resonance."
"So... after ruling out the Destroyer Tyrant, the only ones with the motive and ability to quietly take Star Moon away in that chaotic situation are those old guys from the 'Immortal Heavenly Tomb'."
This matter was not really related to Qiu Tu, so he was able to remain calm and quietly ponder the pros and cons.
But Princess Huiming was different.
Xingyue is her younger sister.
When the words "Immortal Heavenly Tomb" came out of Jasmine's mouth, the expression on Princess Huiming's face suddenly turned cold.
She was silent for a moment, as if suppressing her emotions, and then slowly said, "Ever since Xingyue became an 'Immortal,' those people in the Immortal Heavenly Tomb have never been well-behaved."
"On the surface... they are completely under the Emperor's control and dare not make any moves. But in private, they have never given up their plan to tear off the mask and forcibly take Xingyue away."
Her gaze drifted into the distance, as if piercing through layers of space, revealing the ruined and destroyed royal court.
"This time... they probably took advantage of Father's defeat and his preoccupation with other matters to secretly take action and steal Xingyue away."
“Or…” she paused, then suggested another possibility, “They may have reached some kind of agreement with my father and exchanged Xingyue for him.”
"But regardless of the possibility, they are indeed the most likely force to take Xingyue away."
Upon hearing Princess Huiming's words, Qiu Tu glanced at Jasmine first, then looked at Huiming.
Then, after a moment's thought, he looked at Princess Huiming and asked,
"I remember that Xingyue was imprisoned by the Destroyer Tyrant several times, and it was you who arranged for people to guard and take care of her. Are you and this younger sister very close?"
Princess Huiming did not respond immediately upon hearing Qiu Tu's words.
She lowered her eyes, her long, black hair obscuring half her face, making it impossible to see her expression. The wind on the grassland blew her black python robe, the gold patterns on the hem gleaming coldly in the sunlight.
After a long silence, she finally spoke, her voice devoid of emotion, "I have many brothers and sisters, but I only have two with whom I can truly say I have a good relationship. Xingyue is one of them."
She raised her eyes, her gaze as indifferent as ever. "She is my youngest sister, and her background is... rather complicated."
"Plus, I raised her."
"So... there are some feelings involved after all."
Upon hearing Huiming's words, Qiu Tu glanced at Jasmine without making a sound.
Jasmine showed no surprise, clearly already aware of the relationship between the two.
A thoughtful look appeared in Qiu Tu's eyes, and he had a general idea of why Jasmine brought up this matter.
As expected, seeing that Princess Huiming had taken the initiative to express her attitude, Jasmine immediately extended an olive branch at the opportune moment and made her first invitation.
