Upon hearing the strange noise from the emergency exit, a look of horror suddenly appeared on Tan Huimin's beautiful oval face.
Then she jumped up and rushed to Qiu Tu's side behind the desk, shaking Qiu Tu's arm incessantly.
Just then, a cold voice came from the emergency exit, "Stop shaking, we're back."
As she spoke, Tang Feifei walked out of the emergency exit.
Qiu Tu followed closely behind.
Upon seeing that it was two people, Tan Huimin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Her eyes were slightly red as she looked at Qiu Tu, and then she said with a slight sob, "Sir, you're back."
She was already very beautiful, with a straight oval face, big eyes, and a kind of pitiful beauty.
Now that her eyes are red, it makes one feel even more sorry for her.
So, seeing her like this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but smile and comfort her, "Sister Min, you've worked hard."
Tan Huimin is just an ordinary person, but these past few days she has had to fight against a bunch of disaster victims and a bunch of high-ranking officials, living in constant fear, and her mind is already on the verge of collapse.
So, upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, her tears involuntarily began to fall.
But the next moment, she remembered that although she was worried every day, Qiu Tu must have been even more tired from going out these past few days.
So she immediately covered her mouth, sobbed twice, and forced back her tears.
Then, a bright smile appeared on her tear-streaked face as she said to the two men, "Sir, Director Tang, please sit down and rest. I'll get you some water."
After saying that, she tactfully headed towards the lounge, leaving the two of them alone.
After she left, Tang Feifei gave Qiu Tu a deep look and said, "He has some potential."
Qiu Tu smiled and said, "If that's the case, then it seems she's been behaving quite well these past two days."
Tang Feifei gave a curt "hmm" and said expressionlessly, "She helped me avoid a lot of trouble."
"Otherwise, if I were to take on two jobs at the same time, I would probably be exhausted."
As she spoke, she gestured towards Qiu Tu, who was sitting in a chair with a blank look in his eyes.
The next second, "Qiu Tu" immediately stood up and walked towards Tang Feifei.
As you get closer, his body slowly turns white, shrinks, and finally becomes a pearl the size of a glass ball.
This is Tang Feifei's clone-type cataclysmic treasure, "Two Realms Bead".
It is a very powerful cataclysmic weapon.
Not only can she transform into whatever she desires, but... her consciousness can also traverse two worlds, simultaneously controlling both her original self and her clone.
During the "Suicide Squad Incident," Tang Feifei was able to protect Qiu Tu in the "Boundless Sea of Hearts" while also handling official business in the "Real World," all thanks to this prop. (Chapter 360)
It's especially convenient since the "boundless sea of the mind" and the "real world" have their day and night reversed. — You just need to stay awake.
Therefore, when Qiu Tu went to the "Eastern City Area" to advance to the third-tier Cataclysm, he was worried that some higher-ups would notice something amiss and test him, so he asked Tang Feifei for help.
Tang Feifei is a senior deputy director; she knows more about all aspects of the Investigation Bureau than Qiu Tu does. Some of her insights are even more unique than Qiu Tu's.
That's why they were able to handle the probing of Yu Zhengyi and Shi Youxin with ease and without revealing any flaws.
As for Tang Feifei herself....
She, a vice-chairperson who had just been promoted to a fourth-tier Cataclysm, was someone that several high-ranking officials of the Investigation Bureau could see whenever they wanted?
Now, she needs to "lay low and bide her time" and "solidify her skills," so she has completely closed her doors to visitors...
With his clone retracted and Qiu Tu returning to his proper position, the entire "Advancement Plan" was finally over.
The two sat on the sofa, drinking tea that Tan Huimin had brewed, resting while also reflecting on the events of the past two days...
Tang Feifei was thinking about Qiu Tu's path to disaster.
Qiu Tu, however, was reminiscing about his insights after advancing to the fourth rank...
It turns out that fourth-order physics really is different from first, second, and third-order physics.
If advancing from the second to the third tier represents a complete fusion of body and spirit, it signifies that an ordinary being has truly become a "superhuman being."
So... the fourth rank is the first step for an extraordinary being to possess "divinity"!
The most prominent characteristic of a Tier 4 Cataclysm is "sensory perception".
Upon reaching the fourth tier, the Cataclysm can sense the positive "mental influence" of the beings around them on them.
It was a very mysterious feeling.
If I had to describe it, it would be... being able to "see" the other person's "level of affection" for me.
Although it cannot be quantified, within a certain range, a fourth-order Cataclysm can sense the emotions of living beings such as "loyalty," "respect," "worship," and "faith" towards them.
Moreover, those emotions, like threads, transmit "power".
Although that "power" is weak, it is a real and substantial force that can be accumulated and used to improve oneself.
This already has the rudiments of a "deity".
After all, the core of "gods" is to absorb the faith of believers.
The only difference between the two is the efficiency of energy conversion.
In addition, having advanced to the fourth rank, his "spirit" has become even stronger, and he can now influence reality through "thought".
While it can't destroy the world, it can still retrieve objects from a distance, turn pages with its mind, and even inflict physical damage through pressure.
Besides these two most important changes, there are some other minor changes in Tier 4 Cataclysms compared to Tier 3 Cataclysms.
For example, in the boundless sea of the mind, a fourth-order Cataclysm can already fly.
Just now, Qiu Tu and Tang Feifei flew directly to the edge of the area and then returned to the real world.
For example, in the boundless sea of the mind and in the real world, fourth-order cataclysms have already possessed abilities similar to "divine thought".
With just mental perception, one can ignore terrain and obstacles and sense situations within a certain range.
And...it consumes almost nothing!
It can be said that the fourth order is a qualitative leap compared to the third order!
This is also a major reason why only powerful cataclysmic beings with advanced intelligence, reaching the fourth tier, are called evil gods.
As his thoughts slowly returned, Qiu Tu took another sip of tea. Then, with a thought, he released his spiritual power to sense the surrounding situation.
Within the "Boundless Sea of the Heart," Qiu Tu's spiritual power can sense creatures within a radius of up to one kilometer.
However, in the "real world," this distance is reduced to 50 meters.
After all, the "Boundless Sea of the Mind" is a purely spiritual world. Even if it "looks" and "feels" like "matter," it is just a "feeling."
The real world is different. Because there is matter everywhere, including dust in the air, mental energy will rapidly decline.
This is also why many evil gods dare not easily come to the real world—they are omnipotent in the "Boundless Sea of the Heart," but they are restricted everywhere in the real world.
Thinking of the evil god, Qiu Tu couldn't help but think of the whale shark and the evil moon.
He looked at Tang Feifei and then said, "The matter of the evil god should be dealt with sooner rather than later."
"They sent their clones into the real world, giving us an opportunity."
"After we rest tonight, we'll start dealing with them tomorrow, or at the latest the day after."
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Tang Feifei came back to her senses.
She looked at Qiu Tu, hummed in agreement, and said, "Although I've been on guard these past two days, the exertion hasn't been significant."
"After a good night's sleep and some rest, I should be completely fine."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu nodded and then asked, "Have you made contact with Liu Xiong Yuan yet?"
Tang Feifei is very reliable when it comes to getting things done. She nodded, "The terms for the sale have already been agreed upon."
"Perhaps because he also wanted to rebuild his prestige, he didn't ask for an exorbitant amount."
Seeing that Liu Xiongyuan had also been dealt with, Qiu Tu felt relieved.
He looked at Tang Feifei and said, "Then... there's only one last thing left to verify."
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Tang Feifei looked at Qiu Tu with some confusion.
Qiu Tu looked at her, snapped his fingers, and activated his cataclysmic ability, "Order Space"...
----------
Two chapters, 10,000 words each! Requesting monthly votes!
Chapter 384 Qiu Tu can threaten me now. (10,000 words, please vote!)
Because of their extremely powerful mental strength, fourth-tier Cataclysmic beings have become incredibly perceptive.
In addition, Tang Feifei has been on high alert these past few days.
Therefore, the moment Qiu Tu used his cataclysmic ability, alarm bells immediately went off in Tang Feifei's mind! A sense of life-or-death crisis lingered in her heart!
So she reflexively jumped back a few times, quickly putting distance between herself and Qiu Tu!
However, Qiu Tu has now advanced to the fourth rank, and the influence range of the "Order Space" has already reached 20*20*20=8000 cubic meters. The area of influence on the plane has also reached 400 square meters.
Therefore, even when Tang Feifei retreated to the corner, she was still continuously affected by the "order space".
However, at this moment, Tang Feifei realized that it was Qiu Tu who was using the ability, not an enemy.
Given their relationship, how could Qiu Tu possibly hurt himself?
So she quickly calmed down.
However, recalling the instinctive warning her body had given her just now, Tang Feifei felt a mix of emotions...
Because the implications are all too clear: Qiu Tu has acquired the ability to harm himself, or even kill himself.
Although he had anticipated that Qiu Tu's strength might surpass his own, he was somewhat prepared.
However... Tang Feifei's confidence as a martial arts cataclysm still made her feel that this day would not come very soon.
As a result... Qiu Tu had only been a fourth-tier Cataclysm for a few hours, yet he already possessed the ability to threaten him?
At this moment, Tang Feifei's actions made Qiu Tu stroke his chin, his gaze revealing deep thought...
It wasn't because of Tang Feifei's distrustful behavior earlier—as a newly-minted fourth-tier Cataclysm, he understood that this was a special ability of fourth-tier Cataclysms: instinctively avoiding danger when faced with it.
What he was concerned about was... the fact that a fourth-tier Cataclysm was so powerful in "crisis perception." Therefore, when he used his abilities against the evil god, the evil god would most likely also trigger a similar "crisis perception."
So... he must find a way to restrict the evil god and prevent it from escaping his own space of order.
Just then, as Qiu Tu was thinking this, Tang Feifei spoke up.
She looked at Qiu Tu and asked, "Are you using your own abilities?"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu also came to his senses.
He neither denied it nor offered an explanation—any secret can no longer be considered a secret once a second person knows it.
After all, even if that person doesn't subjectively intend to leak information, there are still many objective possibilities for leaking information.
While Qiu Tu's "Order Space" is powerful, its weaknesses are also very obvious. Therefore, he must guard this secret at all costs.
Thinking this, Qiu Tu simply said, "I want to test whether my abilities have improved after reaching the fourth rank."
Upon hearing this, Tang Feifei completely relaxed. She asked, "How do I try it? Do I need to cooperate?"
Upon hearing Tang Feifei's words, Qiu Tu's gaze involuntarily fell upon her.
Under the light, Tang Feifei's wheat-colored skin shimmered with a healthy glow, her waist was slender and supple, and her legs were long and strong.
It is like a work of art meticulously sculpted by nature, revealing a wildness and vitality.
She was neither as delicate as other women, nor as gentle as water.
On the contrary, she was like a cheetah in the night, quiet yet dangerous. Even her breathing exuded a vibrant life force!
Perhaps due to her years of martial arts training, or perhaps because she became a fourth-tier Cataclysm, every movement and every step she took was filled with power and beauty, radiating a unique aesthetic.
This is an exceptionally unique woman—elegant, charming, and dangerous.
Qiu Tu had fought her many times, but all his attempts ended in defeat.
He was so angry that he wanted to cheat and use his abilities to enhance himself several times. However... his abilities only worked on enemies of a lower rank than himself.
