Then let them offer their loyalty!

Thinking this, the Heavenly Evolution of Order felt a slight sense of relief.

And just then, at that very moment, while the Heavenly Evolution of Order was thinking this, things turned out differently.

Suddenly, a man's voice, tinged with amusement, rang out from above Aria's castle.

"Little Jasmine, your brother Qiu Tu is here to see you. Do you have time to come out and chat?"

As Qiu Tuna spoke with a teasing tone, the entire council hall fell silent.

The face of the Heavenly Evolution of Order, shrouded in holy light, turned involuntarily towards Jasmine.

Jasmine is usually unrestrained and shameless, but that's only when she's with her own people or when she's hiding her identity.

Now, in front of her old rival whom she had known for nearly ten thousand years, Qiu Tu's public flirting made her delicate oval face instantly turn red.

"You brat! How dare you flirt with me like that!"

She gritted her teeth and cursed under her breath, her large, almond-shaped eyes burning with embarrassment and anger.

Before she finished speaking, her figure vanished into thin air as if she were fleeing, seemingly off to "teach Qiu Tu a lesson."

Upon witnessing this scene, the holy light surrounding the Heavenly Evolution of Order paused for a moment.

A moment later, he let out a strange laugh that sounded like a mixture of joy and sorrow. Then, a flash of holy light emanated from his body, and he vanished from the council hall along with Jasmine.

Arriving at the outer edge of the world of Aria, the Order of Heaven slowly revealed its form, then looked at the group of people confronting each other in the sky.

As it turned out, nothing was wrong until he looked, and his brows immediately furrowed.

Because... at this moment, in the sky above the outer edge of Aria, six figures with immense and powerful auras were silently suspended.

Chaos, order, destruction, immortality, life, mystery...

Five god-kings who embarked on the "Path to the Supreme": Jasmine, Zhao Ji, Hui Ming, Mu Xin, and La Ri Luo, plus him, have gathered here, making a total of six god-kings from the "Ancient Continent" who have embarked on the Path to the Supreme.

Six distinct yet equally powerful wills intertwined and collided in the air, causing the surrounding space to begin to distort slightly, and the laws of nature to manifest, as if even the world itself could not withstand the power of the six individuals.

In contrast, Qiu Tu stood out the most among the six people.

After all, among the seven people present, only his aura was significantly weaker, and he clearly had not yet embarked on the path to supreme power.

But... an ordinary high-level god-king was able to stand with six god-kings who had embarked on the path to supreme power, and was even subtly becoming the center of attention.

This only highlights his uniqueness and extraordinary qualities.

Chapter 991 Jasmine: Brother, give me the Supreme God King~~ (Seeking monthly votes)

Thinking this, the indifferent gaze of the Heavenly Order couldn't help but fall on Qiu Tu.

The Heavenly Evolution of Order was actually quite curious about Qiu Tu, the man who had stirred up the storm of the "Ancient Continent".

In fact, during this time, he had also learned about Qiu Tu's background and knew that Qiu Tu had once joined the "Temple of Order" and was just a weak god at the time.

As a result, in just a few years, Qiu Tu advanced from a Celestial God to a God King, and then to a High God King. Now he is even protected by several God Kings who have embarked on the "Path to Supremacy". He is so powerful that even if he and Jasmine join forces, they can only slightly suppress him.

Such a rate of progress is truly unbelievable if you haven't witnessed it with your own eyes.

However, the moment Jasmine mentioned the irreconcilable "Great Dao conflict" between him and Qiu Tu, the slight appreciation that had just arisen in the heart of the Heavenly Evolution of Order was immediately replaced by a chilling killing intent.

His golden eyes, woven from countless laws of order, fell upon Qiu Tu without any emotion.

At this moment, Qiu Tu was completely unaware that he had been targeted by one of the two most powerful beings on the Ancient Continent. He didn't even realize that he was just an ordinary high-level God-King.

He stood there casually among the six god-kings who had embarked on the path to supreme power. Behind him, on either side, stood two high-ranking god-kings, Zhao Ji and La Ri Luo, who had also embarked on the path to supreme power as their "guardians." He then chuckled and teased another high-ranking god-king, Jasmine, who had also embarked on the path to supreme power.

"Little Jasmine, I never expected that even after you turned back into a witch, you would still be so obedient to me."

His voice carried a hint of teasing, "I just shouted, and you actually came running out."

Jasmine is, after all, a top master in the tea ceremony world. She was just teased by Qiu Tu in front of her old rival, Order Tianyan, and she might still be a little embarrassed and annoyed.

But after only a few seconds, when she saw Qiu Tu, she had already gotten used to it and didn't care anymore.

So, upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, she didn't care at all. Instead, she gave Qiu Tu a sweet smile, a shallow dimple appearing at the corner of her mouth, her voice so sweet and cloying it was almost sickening.

"Brother Qiu Tu~~ You've already called me 'little sister,' how could I not listen to you?"

She tilted her head, her chestnut curls cascading down her chest like seaweed, adding to her charmingly naive air. "Sister...shouldn't you listen to your brother?"

However, although she said that and her smile was so bright it seemed to melt ice and snow, if you looked closely, you could see that deep in her watery almond-shaped eyes was a bone-chilling coldness.

He looked as if he would pull out a knife and stab Qiu Tu at any moment.

However, Qiu Tu seemed oblivious to the murderous intent in Jasmine's eyes.

His smile deepened, and he looked at Jasmine, saying, "My dear little sister. In that case, I do have something private I'd like to discuss with you alone. Are you available now?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Jasmine smiled even more sweetly. She blinked her long, thick eyelashes, which trembled slightly like butterfly wings, and then said, "Brother, are you going to have a private, in-depth conversation with your sister?"

"But....."

At this point, Jasmine glanced lightly at Zhao Ji behind Qiu Tu with her watery eyes, then immediately looked away, revealing a troubled yet delicate expression, "I... I'm afraid my sister will be unhappy."

Jasmine's methods of sowing discord were actually quite sophisticated. However... those present were all old friends who had known her for many years and were already used to her tactics.

So, before Qiu Tu could even speak after hearing Jasmine's words, Zhao Ji, standing behind him, coldly said, "Don't mind me. You two can chat as you please."

Hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu shrugged triumphantly at Jasmine, looking incredibly irritating.

Seeing Zhao Ji protecting Qiu Tu like this, Jasmine's temples throbbed. She wanted to question her, but then she remembered her current persona, so she had to suppress her anger.

Finally, she gave a soft hum, with a touch of girlish coquettishness, and said to Qiu Tu,

"Since you don't mind, then... I'll respectfully accept your offer."

As she spoke, Jasmine waved her slender hand, and instantly, a semi-transparent light shield appeared out of thin air, like an inverted bowl, enveloping her and Qiu Tu within it. Countless tiny runes flowed across the surface of the light shield, completely isolating the divine senses and perceptions of the other high-level god-kings.

"Brother, tell me~"

Seeing that he finally had a chance to be alone with Qiu Tu, he put away his joking expression.

Then he looked at Jasmine and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty the Witch... the reason I asked you to be isolated from other people's senses is that I wanted to have an open and honest conversation with you."

Seeing that Qiu Tu used a respectful title, Jasmine's coquettish expression slowly faded.

Then she looked at Qiu Tu suspiciously, her almond-shaped eyes gradually sharpening, and asked, "What...do you want to talk about?"

Seeing that Jasmine was willing to talk, Qiu Tu didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point, "Six Paths Simultaneous Proof... there's a problem, isn't there?"

As he said this, Qiu Tu kept staring intently at Jasmine's expression, as if trying to glean the information he wanted from it.

However, Jasmine did not react at all. She even relaxed and then, somewhat bored, stretched out her finger and played with a strand of her curly hair, saying lazily, "Of course, there is no problem with obtaining the Six Paths Simultaneous Certification."

"This is the direction the 'Origin of the World' is pointing us in, how could there be a problem?"

Upon hearing Jasmine's denial, Qiu Tu frowned slightly.

He pondered quietly for two seconds, a hint of realization appearing in his eyes, and then asked again, "So... obtaining all six paths doesn't necessarily guarantee becoming the Supreme God King."

"Or rather... the six people who advance together may not all be able to attain the Supreme God King status."

This time, upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Jasmine paused for 0.1 seconds while playing with her hair, before quickly resuming her normal activity.

Then, she pursed her lips dismissively, "Of course not."

"Where did you hear such nonsense?"

Although Jasmine denied it, Qiu Tu confirmed his guess based on her subtle movements and expressions.

He began, "Jasmine, I've come here with the utmost sincerity, wanting to discuss with you the matter of attaining the 'Supreme God-King'."

I hope you feel the same way.

At this point, Qiu Tu paused for a moment, then explained his guess, "The reason I'm so sure you're hiding something from us is..."

"It's because your behavior is too abnormal."

"If the simultaneous attainment of the Six Paths is truly foolproof and without any problems, then... given that candidates for the Supreme God-King have now emerged in all six pathways."

"You should actively promote cooperation and work with us to attain enlightenment as soon as possible."

"Instead of deliberately distancing themselves from us and starting from scratch, as they are doing now."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Jasmine fell silent.

Clearly, she also realized that Qiu Tu was not the kind of martial arts fanatic who was easily fooled and coaxed like Zhao Ji, but a master with keen observation skills and wisdom that were no less than, or even... surpassed, her own.

Thinking this through, Jasmine finally gave up on acting.

She looked at Qiu Tu, then said coldly, "What do you mean I'm starting from scratch?"

“It is clearly you who betrayed me, and it is you who started your own thing.”

She stretched out her slender fingers and pointed at Zhao Ji and La Ri Luo outside the light barrier, her voice filled with barely suppressed anger, "They are two peerless geniuses with the potential to become supreme god-kings, whom I have waited for thousands of years and used every means to select and create."

Then she pointed to Old White behind her, "He is the seed of the supreme god-king that I discovered and nurtured for a thousand years!"

Then, she pointed to Huiming, "She is an important candidate that I discovered a long time ago, and have been contacting privately and waiting for her silently."

Finally, she pointed to herself, a hint of arrogance on her face, "And I am the first and only high-level God-King in the past ten thousand years of the 'Ancient Continent' to possess the talent of a supreme God-King!"

"As a result, after all these years of planning and waiting, they all ended up following you and forming a new clique."

"So, who betrayed me and started anew, you or I started anew?"

Seeing that Jasmine was a little agitated, Qiu Tu quickly reached out and made a soothing gesture, "Jasmine, I understand your anger."

"But...we're talking about achieving the 'Supreme' right now."

At this point, Qiu Tu said, "If it's just for fame or status..."

"Then... shall we respect you and make you our leader?"

“But…” Qiu Tu changed the subject, looking at Jasmine, “Do you really just want this reputation and status?”

Jasmine fell silent again. She probably hadn't expected that even after acting this far, Qiu Tu still wouldn't believe her. This made her realize that she probably couldn't keep this a secret any longer.

So, after remaining silent for a good ten seconds, she finally looked at Qiu Tu and said, "You're right."

"This is not about reputation or status."

She said, "Although several of us with the talent of 'Supreme God-King' can sense the 'Supreme Position,' I've sensed it for the longest time. Therefore, I know the most about that 'Supreme God-King' position."

As she said this, her gaze became somewhat complicated, and then she said, "The path of attaining the supreme position through the six major pathways is not wrong."

"There are no traps on this road either."

"The real problem is... the ancient continent, and whether the billions of living beings on the ancient continent can bear and support the six supreme god-kings."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu's face immediately showed a hint of realization.

Then Jasmine continued, "If the Ancient Continent cannot support six Supreme God-Kings, if the billions of beings on the Ancient Continent cannot help six Supreme God-Kings attain enlightenment..."

"So... after the six realms attain enlightenment together, it is very likely that only one supreme god-king will be born."

At this point, Jasmine looked at Qiu Tu, "And what I want to do is ensure that even in the worst-case scenario, we can still attain the highest level of enlightenment."

“Because…” she paused, then said, “I can’t wait any longer.”

“You are all still young, with many years to wait for the ‘Ancient Continent’ to advance, and then you can prove your Dao again, but my lifespan is almost over.”

Qiu Tu nodded slightly upon hearing this.

What Jasmine said was pretty much what he had guessed.

The reason why Jasmine insisted on competing with him for the dominant position in this attempt to attain supreme enlightenment was ultimately because "six paths to enlightenment simultaneously" might not be able to result in the attainment of six supreme god-kings.

Jasmine's lifespan wouldn't allow for another opportunity. Therefore, she needed to ensure that she could attain enlightenment this time.

Just then, as Qiu Tu was thinking this, Jasmine's voice rang in his ears again.

"So... Brother Qiu Tu, could you give me this opportunity?"

Hearing Jasmine's words, Qiu Tu couldn't help but look over, and then he saw Jasmine holding her face in her hands, looking at him with a pitiful expression. Her big, watery eyes seemed ready to burst into tears at any moment.

Seeing Jasmine's adorable expression, Qiu Tu was taken aback for a moment, then a warm smile spread across his face, and he said softly, "Of course..."

He deliberately dragged out his words, and only when a hint of joy flashed in Jasmine's eyes did he slowly utter the second half of the sentence.

"No."

Jasmine's expression suddenly changed.

Qiu Tu's smile vanished, replaced by a serious expression. He said, "Jasmine, to be honest... I don't believe you."
