The next second, time and space shifted, and Qiu Tu, in a daze, found himself... seemingly flying.
He tried to "look around" and found that he did indeed seem to be in mid-air forty or fifty meters above the ground, flying side by side with another woman.
The woman looked to be in her early thirties. She bore a striking resemblance to Larilu, making her an absolute beauty.
Unlike Larilu's seductive and frivolous aura, that woman was like an ancient, unyielding iceberg, pure and noble.
Her brows exuded wisdom and authority, and her eyes shone like stars in the night sky, as if she could see through the hearts of all people.
This is a woman so powerful that she seems capable of defying heaven and earth.
Just as Qiu Tu was scrutinizing the woman in front of him, "Qiu Tu" spoke.
His voice was clearly a woman's voice, clear and crisp, like a nightingale's.
He said, "Sister, you must help me get revenge."
"That stinky dragon! I fought it for two days and two nights, and neither of us could beat the other!"
"But... that doesn't mean I'm not strong enough. After all, I was fighting in an area it controlled."
After listening to Qiu Tu's words, the powerful woman in front of her gave a blank "hmm" and did not reply.
Qiu Tu continued, "But sister, could you please not kill it? I want to keep it as a mount."
"As a fourth-tier deity, I'm perfectly matched with a fourth-tier cataclysmic creature. When I go out, I'll ride it; how cool would that be!"
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the woman gave her a cold look and said, "I never leave anyone alive after I've taken action."
At this point, Qiu Tu suddenly realized who the two people in the conversation were.
"Qiu Tu" must now be the owner of the memory fragments: La Ri Luo.
So the "older sister" beside her, who was so powerful that she didn't even take fourth-order cataclysmic creatures seriously, was obviously... Zhao Ji, the overlord of the nine cities and nine regions of Dongye Prefecture, and a fifth-order evil god.
However, even after figuring out the identities of the two men, Qiu Tu had even more questions in his mind:
How many years ago was it exactly? How could the two of them have had such a good relationship back then?
And... where are these two going?
Just as Qiu Tu was thinking this, a few seconds later, the two appeared in the sky above a low-lying jungle.
The trees in this jungle are sparse, but they are growing well, and one can vaguely see a thriving scene.
Looking at the scene before him, Qiu Tu felt for some reason that it looked familiar.
Before he could even recall where he had seen it before, suddenly... a deafening roar erupted! The earth shook! The mountain collapsed!
A giant, emerald-green dragon, dragging its tail which was over twenty meters long, swept down countless trees and rose from the ground!
It is like the spirit of an ancient forest, with smooth and hard, tender green scales, each one like a finely crafted jade work of art, shimmering with a warm glow!
Its head was enormous, with a pair of half-closed, sinister almond-shaped eyes; a pair of tree-like dragon horns extended from its head, their branches and leaves flourishing; the huge fleshy wings on either side of its cheeks undulated gently with its breath...
As it stands upright, drops of tender green life essence fall, releasing a faint, fresh fragrance of grass and trees; wherever they fall, trees grow wildly...
Feeling the imposing presence of the giant beast before him, Qiu Tu felt his soul tremble slightly.
This could be said to be the most powerful creature he had encountered in his two lifetimes.
Even though he was already a Tier 2 Cataclysm, when he experienced the terror of this cataclysmic creature firsthand through "memory fragments," he still felt a sense of powerlessness, like a firefly trying to compete with the bright moon.
'Is this... a Tier 4 Cataclysmic Creature?'
'Were Lariluo before her fall, and Liu Xiongyuan now, beings of this level?'
At that moment, just as Qiu Tu was thinking this...
The wooden dragon made its move.
Its lantern-sized snake eyes met Zhao Ji's gaze warily for a few seconds, then a flash of murderous intent suddenly appeared!
The next second, its fleshy wings flapped violently on both sides of its head, and it sprang up like a spring, its entire body coiled up! Its gaping maw transformed into a blur as it lunged at Zhao Ji!
Qiu Tu is currently in La Ri Luo's memories, and both his "reaction speed" and "strength" are at La Ri Luo's fourth-tier level!
Even so, he only felt a blur before his eyes and could barely keep up with the speed of the huge wooden dragon!
In that instant, Qiu Tu sensed a deep sense of fear and worry in La Riluo's heart!
The two sisters do have a pretty good relationship "now"....
Just as Qiu Tu had this thought, suddenly... Zhao Ji made her move.
She stared at the enormous fourth-tier wooden dragon before her, her eyes suddenly darting around, her pupils dilating outwards in concentric circles until they formed two rings!
A pair of eyes, with interlocking pupils, making them appear exceptionally cold and powerful, as if heaven were cruelly disdainful of all living beings.
Just one glance, only one glance!
The next second, there was a loud "BOOM!"
The powerful wooden dragon, resembling a world-destroying behemoth, suddenly exploded!
Countless emerald green sap fell to the ground like raindrops!
Trees are springing up from the ground! Wild grass is growing wildly!
In just a few moments, what was originally a low-lying patch of woods was transformed into a vast primeval forest in just a few seconds.
Countless towering trees stand there, their branches and leaves lush and verdant!
A gentle breeze rustled the leaves, as if playing a joyful song of life.
Qiu Tu looked at the miraculous scene before him, and his heart felt as if it were being tightly gripped by someone.
In a daze, he finally remembered why this place looked so familiar...
Isn't this the vast primeval forest in the New Territories corresponding to the Boundless Heart Sea area?
So that's how this primeval forest came to be...?
Just as Qiu Tu was thinking this, Zhao Ji's cold voice came to his ear, "Alright. I'm leaving."
Qiu Tu turned around to look at Zhao Ji, but at that moment, everything went black before his eyes.
When he came to his senses again, he found himself back in the real world.
Lying next to Shen Lingshuang, Qiu Tu stared blankly at the ceiling, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
Only through personal experience could he truly feel the power of the fourth-order cataclysmic creatures and the fifth-order evil gods.
'Then... is it really something that human power can overcome?'
To be honest, at that moment, Qiu Tu really had some doubts...
Therefore, a strong sense of crisis suddenly welled up in his heart.
He felt he had been too complacent lately! He should get promoted soon and improve his skills!
To quickly advance to the third, fourth, or even fifth tier of strength!
Only in this way can he truly take control of his own destiny.
Otherwise, with just a glance from Zhao Ji, he might have turned to ashes just like the fourth-tier wooden dragon!
Of course, Qiu Tu wouldn't think that he should simply pursue "strength" just because he felt Zhao Ji's power!
In a world where great power belongs to the individual, strength is indeed the foundation of everything.
But what makes humanity great is teamwork and technology!
Even a fifth-tier evil god, despite his immense power, can only slowly infiltrate the real world under the threat of nuclear bombs in the Sanctuary.
As someone whose "official position" equates to "power," Qiu Tu can excel in both!
Just like... since he could fool Larilu so much that she lost her bearings, he could also try to fool Larilu's older sister, Zehime!
After all, just because Qiu Tu is not as strong as them doesn't mean he can't outsmart them!
If you lack strength, make up for it with intelligence.
Moreover, to be honest, Qiu Tu was indeed a little envious of Zhao Ji.
Putting aside Zhao Ji's looks and figure, which are no less than La Ri Luo's, just consider her terrifying strength—enough to wipe out a fourth-tier opponent with a single glance. If she could become one of their own... wouldn't Qiu Tu be living off her forever?!
Moreover, judging from the scenes observed in the memory fragments just now, the evil gods and the catastrophic creatures are not a collective or population.
Instead, it still follows the cruel law of the jungle: the survival of the fittest.
Therefore, Qiu Tu felt that... it was not impossible to trick these two sisters into joining his camp and use "evil gods" to control "evil gods".
Thinking this, Qiu Tu's brain started working, and he built a "character model" of Zhao Ji by observing her through fragments of memory.
He started figuring out how to use all the rewards he'd received that morning. Then, while ensuring his own safety and avoiding arousing Zhao Ji's suspicion, he planned to make contact with her...

As Qiu Tu pondered, several ideas gradually formed in his mind.
However, he still needs to verify these ideas to determine whether they will work.
Faced with Zhao Ji, a powerful and terrifying evil god, Qiu Tu, who values his life, will definitely be cautious, cautious, and even more cautious!
He has to be responsible not only for himself, but also for the New Territories and for the many important people around him!
After all, if he contacted Zhao Ji and exposed La Ri Luo's situation, it would arouse Zhao Ji's suspicion and attention.
Zhao Ji single-handedly turned the tide in the New Territories.
Then Qiu Tu truly became a sinner.
This kind of psychological pressure means that Qiu Tu is 100% walking a tightrope!
Fortunately, since the beginning of his time travel, Qiu Tu has spent most of his time walking on tightropes!
Therefore, he not only got used to this kind of life, but also enjoyed it.
After all, there is endless joy in fighting against the heavens, endless joy in fighting against the earth, and endless joy in fighting against man!
This kind of exciting and exhilarating life is what he pursues.
Basically... if you lose, you get killed by the evil god; if you win, you beat the evil god to a pulp!
Moreover, Qiu Tu felt he wouldn't lose.
After all... he possesses the formidable weapon of "crisis sense".
If this plan were truly life-threatening, then the "crisis sense" would issue a warning, giving him enough time to escape unscathed.
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu felt much more at ease.
Sure enough, you still need to wear a safety rope when walking on a tightrope on a cliff...
Thinking this, Qiu Tu closed his eyes and continued to build up the character model of Zhao Ji in his mind!
And so, an unknown amount of time passed—perhaps ten minutes, perhaps half an hour—just as Qiu Tu was concentrating all his attention on recalling Zhao Ji's voice, appearance, and smile...
Suddenly, he was startled and quickly opened his eyes. He then saw Shen Lingshuang lying next to him, her big, watery eyes smiling at Qiu Tu.
Qiu Tu glared at her and then said, "What are you doing!"
Hearing Qiu Tu's reprimand, Shen Ling Shuang didn't care at all. She pouted and said, "What else can I do? Drive. Can't you tell?"
Qiu Tu: .....
Qiu Tu: "Why are you using mine when you're driving, if you use your own control lever?"
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Shen Ling Shuang scoffed and said with a disdainful look, "If I had it, would I care about yours?"
After saying that, she said, "I just saw that you started the engine so early in the morning, so I wanted to help you."
"Otherwise, if I go out and it benefits some other woman, I'll be at a huge loss."
Qiu Tu: .....
Qiu Tu looked at her speechlessly, then asked, "Are you sure it was already running? And that you just lit it?"
Shen Lingshuang's expression, however, was somewhat unnatural. She whistled, "Of course~~"
