Two chapters, 10,000 words each! Something came up today, so I was a little late. Sorry!

Chapter 354 Can I Become a God? (10,000 words, please vote!)

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, La Ri Luo: ......

She felt that Qiu Tu was absolutely shameless!

They ransacked my house and stole my central area; then they dragged me back to ask how to refine it quickly!

This is bullying an evil god!

Do you really think of yourself as dough to be kneaded at will?

"Your Highness~"

Just as Larilu was thinking this, a "Boundless Divine Crystal" the size of a mung bean was placed in front of her.

Larilu: .....

Lari's chest heaved violently...

Who does this guy think he is?!

Is this the kind of person a supposedly evil god is?

"One more, please..."

Qiu Tu: "Okay~"

After placing two "Boundless Divine Crystals" the size of mung beans in front of Lariluo, Lariluo finally closed her eyes and slowly spoke.

She is straightforward in her work, understanding the principle of doing the work first and then getting paid.

"The methods to accelerate the central refining and chemical processing area are both simple and difficult."

"That is... using 'Boundless Divine Crystals' to replenish what we've consumed."

At this point, Larilu opened her eyes and glanced at Qiu Tu without any expression of joy or sorrow. "The 'Boundless Divine Crystal' is the purest and highest-level power in this world."

"Saying it's omnipotent is an exaggeration. But... it is indeed very effective. It has many uses. Replenishing the cataclysmic power within the body is just its most conventional and wasteful use."

"And refining the central area, to put it simply, means completely filling the central area with the cataclysmic power that carries one's own aura."

"Therefore, as long as you're willing, you can refine the regional core while replenishing your resources with 'Boundless Divine Crystals.'"

Upon hearing La Riluo's words, Qiu Tu's expression turned thoughtful, but he still protested, "Your Highness, it's the central hub of the Whale Shark Refining Area, not me. Please don't be mistaken."

La Rilu rolled her eyes, too lazy to bother with Qiu Tu, a guy with a skin thicker than a city wall.

She closed her eyes, took another deep breath, and absorbed the energy from the two mung bean-sized "Boundless Divine Crystals" into her body.

However... it's possible that Qiu Tu first gave me a "Boundless Divine Crystal" the size of a fingernail, and then immediately gave me a "Boundless Divine Crystal" the size of a soybean.

Lari's "mouth" has become a bit spoiled. So... after absorbing two "Boundless Divine Crystals" the size of mung beans, Lari felt a little unsatisfied.

She couldn't help but look at Qiu Tu's pocket.

Qiu Tu just retrieved the "Boundless Divine Crystal" from there.

She... wanted more.

At this moment, perhaps noticing La Riluo's gaze, Qiu Tu slowly came back to his senses.

He smiled at Lariro, then asked, "By the way, Your Highness. The whale shark is a regional lord. What's the difference between a regional lord and an ordinary catastrophic creature or an evil god?"

Larilu rolled her eyes when she heard Qiu Tu's words, and then said, "What you really want to ask is, what are the benefits of becoming the lord of a region?"

Qiu Tu said with a serious expression, "Pretty much the same. There's not much difference between the two; both are to help His Highness restore his strength!"

La Riluo was already used to Qiu Tu's "shamelessness".

So she didn't bother to argue, and instead stared longingly at Qiu Tu's pocket.

She stared at Qiu Tu's pocket, and Qiu Tu stared at her; the top of the towering tree fell silent for a moment.

After a moment, Qiu Tu waved his hand in front of La Riluo's eyes and said, "Your Highness? Your Highness? What are you looking at?"

Lari Luo snapped out of her daze and was about to point at Qiu Tu's pocket, intending to ask him for her reward for answering the question.

As a result, with her hands already raised, Larilu realized that she... looked too much like a beggar.

So she pretended to stretch again.

Then, she said casually, "I wasn't looking at anything. I was just reminiscing."

After she finished speaking, she coughed and then said, "There are three benefits to becoming the ruler of a region."

"The first benefit is... your strength will be greatly enhanced."

"For example, a Tier 3 Cataclysmic creature may very well become a Tier 4 Cataclysmic creature."

"Peak of the third tier, he will likely become a mid-fourth tier cultivator."

"A fourth-tier cataclysmic creature, it is very likely to become a peak fourth-tier creature."

"This strength is forcibly increased, similar to your human 'pseudo-fourth tier'—a false status."

"But it is also a genuine strength and rank!"

"It can also allow you to experience higher levels of cultivation ahead of time, helping you grow faster."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu's eyes revealed a thoughtful expression.

He tentatively inquired, "So Your Highness... before you perished, you were at the peak of the fourth rank?"

Larilu looked like she was giving up, "No, I'm only at the mid-stage of the fourth tier."

Qiu Tu understood: So he was just a small fry at the peak of the third tier. No wonder he was outmaneuvered and killed by four third-tier Cataclysmics.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu reached into his pocket, took out a "Boundless Divine Crystal" the size of a grain of rice, and handed it to La Riluo.

Larilu's eyes lit up slightly, but she pretended to be indifferent as she accepted the gift and absorbed it into her body.

Then she continued, "As for the second benefit... that is, the lord of the region will automatically possess divinity."

"A divine spark... that's one of the necessary conditions for advancing to the fifth rank."

"Having a divine spark doesn't guarantee advancement to the fifth rank. But without a divine spark, one is certain to be unable to advance to the fifth rank."

"Therefore, many third- and fourth-order cataclysmic creatures became gods after obtaining the regional central hub by chance."

Speaking of this, Lariro gave an example: "The whale shark was originally just an ordinary catastrophic creature, but after accidentally obtaining the regional central hub, it directly ascended to become a god."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but ask, "Then what are the benefits of having a divine title and becoming a deity?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, La Riluo leaned against the altar, swinging her little feet, and said slowly, "The benefits of becoming a god are numerous..."

"For ordinary catastrophic creatures, it can greatly enhance their intelligence and awaken their spiritual intelligence."

"For you humans, it means you can build your own divine realm; you can develop followers; you can enter the dreams of your followers and communicate with them; you can gather the power of faith; you can produce 'Boundless Divine Crystals'; you can kill people in your dreams, and so on..."

At this point, Larilu seemed to remember something and said, "By the way, I remember your shelter has a rule that only section chiefs and above are included in the shelter directory in the planned development area, right?"

Qiu Tu nodded upon hearing this.

Larilu smiled wickedly, her scarlet eyes looking both bewitching and alluring. "Then, let me give you an analogy. Only by becoming a god will you be essentially registered in the records of two worlds. You'll then be a true... world resident."

Upon hearing Lariluo's words, Qiu Tu frowned slightly and couldn't help but look at her, sensing that there was something more to her words...

However, Lariluo clearly didn't want to explain, so Qiu Tu could only change the subject and continue the conversation...

...And so, the two sat on the treetops in the New Territories, one asking questions and the other answering, and they talked for a long time.

Midway through, Qiu Tu also gave La Riluo a few "sesame seed-sized" "Boundless Divine Crystals" as a reward.

La Riluo was so angry that she almost threw the "Boundless Divine Crystal" at Qiu Tu's head.

As a result, when she saw Qiu Tu open his "Gold-Loving Wallet" and show off his fist-sized "Boundless Divine Crystal" from himself, La Riluo obediently accepted the two sesame-seed-sized "rewards".

After all... if we don't take these two, how are we going to swindle that fist-sized "Boundless Divine Crystal"?!

Sensing the aura that shared the same origin as herself, Larilu felt... if she could absorb all of that fist-sized "Boundless Divine Crystal"!

Then she should be able to recover at least the strength of a Tier 1 Cataclysm!

Then... will she still have a problem with Qiu Tu?!

She must have secretly run away to find her sister!

However, La Riluo was unaware that Qiu Tu was actually using the 30th method from "The Emotional Handbook" [108 Ways to Enhance Relationships]: Giving women fantasies.

In Qiu Tu's previous life, there was a widely circulated saying: Money is for women to see, not for women to spend...

This phrase appears in many dating tutorials or jokes, and even... many women know it.

But... it really works.

Even if 10,000 women knew, 10,001 women would still fall for it.

Ultimately, this is all just giving women a fantasy.

Tell women that you have a lot of money and a lot of "boundless divine crystals" to show off your value and lure them into falling into your trap little by little.

You can buy them gifts, take them out for fancy meals, drive them in luxury cars, let them know you have a lot of money, but... you just won't give them money.

Just like Qiu Tu and La Ri Luo, they will receive a little "Boundless Divine Crystals", but never more.

The fist-sized "Boundless Divine Crystal" will be seen by Lariro, but... she will never be allowed to touch it.

Only in this way can we gradually lure Lariel into our trap and completely conquer her...

.......

And just like that, the night passed quickly.

That night, Qiu Tu obtained a lot of information from La Riluo. The most important of these was the chance to accelerate the refinement of the "Regional Central Hub" and the benefits of becoming the Regional Lord!

This gave him a very specific plan for his future development:

Under the guise of a "suicide squad," they refined the regional central core within the boundless sea of ​​their hearts, but... they left a small portion unrefined.

Then, upon his return, he was promoted to deputy director, and his strength increased to the third tier.

Refine the last bit of the regional core and advance to pseudo-fourth rank!

Leveraging his strength as a regional lord and a pseudo-fourth-tier individual, he will soar to new heights! He will strive for the position of vice-chairman! He will continue to enhance his power!

With this in mind, Qiu Tu, having planned everything out, returned to the real world with La Riluo.

Long before La Riluo escaped, Qiu Tu secretly moved the "Boundless Divine Crystal" that Zhao Ji had given him to Shen Lingshuang's villa, in order to isolate La Riluo from the tampered "Boundless Divine Crystal".

After placing Larilu into the repaired "Dimensional Magic Ring," Qiu Tu didn't return to his various homes, but instead went to the 12th-floor lounge to rest...

He's been running around for the past two days and simply doesn't have the energy to focus on a woman's belly anymore...

Silent all night.

The next day, Qiu Tu was awakened by the ringing of his communicator.

Upon answering the phone, Qiu Tu heard Guan Xiao's panicked yet concerned voice, "Minister! You...you volunteered to be part of the 'suicide squad' for this Boundless Heart Sea expedition?"

Hearing Guan Xiao's words, Qiu Tu, still a little sleepy, lay on the bed and lazily hummed in agreement, then asked, "Yeah, what's wrong?"

After a two-second silence, Guan Xiao on the other end of the communicator said, "Minister... this operation is extremely dangerous."

Qiu Tu was well aware of the danger. So he reassured his subordinate, "Don't worry, the greater the risk, the greater the reward."

Guan Xiao remained silent for another two seconds.

Then he said, "Well... sir, did you know that just last night... two evil gods officially invaded the New World region of the Boundless Heart Sea?"

Upon hearing Guan Xiao's words, Qiu Tu was startled and then instantly sobered up.

He sat up and asked, "Two evil gods have officially invaded the New Territories? What's going on?"

Upon hearing this, Guan Xiao explained, "Sir, you should know about the invasion of the evil god, right?"

Qiu Tu hummed in agreement.

Larilu had explained this to him last night.

Evil gods, or deities, are "residents" recognized by the world's origin, possessing various special privileges. Among these is the power to forcibly seize the Boundless Sea of ​​the Heart!

Once an evil god sets his sights on a region of the boundless sea of ​​the mind, he has several ways to obtain it.

For example, the simplest way is to find the regional central hub and refine it.
