Then let them offer their loyalty!

Qiu Tu nodded in surprise and then said, "Of course."

In that instant, Lariro's scarlet eyes became completely bright.

She looked at Qiu Tu and opened her mouth, wanting Qiu Tu to give her the "Regional Center".

Then, Qiu Tu spoke again.

He feigned a troubled expression and said, "But... Your Highness, I've encountered some trouble."

He leaned back in his chair and said, feigning distress, "Just like you said, evil gods seem to be the darlings of heaven and earth."

"After killing him, a mark will be left."

"I seem to have encountered some strange things recently because I killed Xie Yue."

Qiu Tu didn't give La Riluo any chance to interrupt and said in one breath, "These past two days, a yellow mist has been appearing in front of my eyes."

"The yellow mist flashed twice and then disappeared. It keeps me living in fear every day. What's going on?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, La Riluo, whose mind was entirely focused on the "regional center," waved her hand dismissively and said, "This has nothing to do with you killing Xie Yue. It's because after you became the region's ruler..."

Halfway through her sentence, La Riluo suddenly stopped, as if she had thought of something, and looked at Qiu Tu with a wary expression.

---------

Two chapters, 10,000 words each! Something came up at home today, so I was delayed. Sorry. There will be another chapter between 4 and 5 pm.

Chapter 392 The Truth About the Phantom! (10,000 words, please vote!)

Lari Luo suddenly felt that something was not right.

Qiu Tu's topic transition was smooth and logical.

After all... judging by the timeline, that test did indeed take place in the last two days. It coincided perfectly with the time when the whale shark was killed.

Therefore, it is reasonable that Qiu Tu discovered the strange phenomenon after killing the whale shark and began to think that the phenomenon was caused by the death of the whale shark.

But... precisely because it was so reasonable, Larilu sensed something was wrong.

In the past few months, she has suffered far more losses than gains from Qiu Tu.

They kept eating, one bite after another. It just never seemed to end.

Therefore, she dared not treat Qiu Tu's every word as ordinary casual conversation, for fear that she might be betrayed by Qiu Tu if she was not careful.

Thinking about this might be because my train of thought has become clearer.

In an instant, Larilu felt her mind clear.

She tried to organize her thoughts logically:

Qiu Tu hasn't contacted me for two days since becoming a fourth-order Cataclysm.

The reason she contacted me last time was because she wanted to advance safely in Zehime's area.

Before that, when Qiu Tu didn't need his help, he wouldn't contact him for several days.

Therefore, based on this pattern, La Riluo could keenly analyze Qiu Tu's mentality: as Qiu Tu became the regional lord and his strength grew stronger, her status in Qiu Tu's heart was getting lower and lower.

Therefore, unless Qiu Tu wants something from him and wants to get some information from him, Qiu Tu won't think of him...

Once this logic is established, the rest is simple.

Lariluo only had to work through the whole thing to realize that Qiu Tu was deliberately trying to lure her in and interrogate her.

Thinking this, Larilu suddenly felt that Qiu Tu was too dirty!

This man is even more wicked than an evil god; he plans three steps ahead for every one he takes, and every step is calculated.

He had no intention of keeping his promise to me at all; instead, he wanted to lure me with the "regional central hub" and then take advantage of me for free!

'That's absolutely outrageous!'

'Don't fall for it!'

Thinking this through, Larilu turned her head slightly and came up with a strategy to deal with the situation.

She suppressed her anger, then smiled sweetly and deliberately said, "Qiu Tu, you don't need to worry about that."

"That's really nothing, just a small test after becoming a regional master and a fourth-tier cataclysm."

"With me here, it's a small problem."

After saying that, Larilu changed the subject and asked, "By the way, you said you'd give me the 'Regional Central Hub.' So... have you already got it?"

"Is Xie Yue's 'regional central hub' something he carries with him at all times?"

Qiu Tu is so shrewd; he knew what La Riluo was up to the moment she bent over.

So, after a quick thought, he replied, "Don't worry. We've already got it."

"Xie Yueyun seems to have a somewhat arrogant and conceited personality, so he has indeed carried the 'Regional Central Hub' with him."

"As for its central hub, it is also quite extraordinary. It is a golden beetle. And a living being at that."

"A golden beetle?" Larilu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

Then, she remembered the "Bright Moon Region" controlled by Xie Yue.

If she remembered correctly, the original attribute of the "Bright Moon Region" was also "Life Path".

However, compared to the "New Territories Area", the "Lang Yuet Area" has a more unique environment.

The nights in this area are much longer than the days; three-quarters of the day is spent in darkness.

Various nocturnal creatures live there under the moonlight. It is a region that is very suitable for the path of the Evil Moon Cataclysm.

And indeed, a type of golden beetle lives in that area.

The golden beetle, covered entirely in gold, with a crescent moon and six stars on its shell, is also known as the "Star-Moon Beetle." It is a valuable catastrophe material.

And... in general, the regional central point will most likely correspond to some "elements" in the region.

Therefore... it would indeed make sense if the central hub of the "Bright Moon Region" were the "Star Moon Beetle".

so....

Did Qiu Tu really obtain the central hub of the "Langyue Region"?

Thinking of this, Larilu's eyes flickered again.

She was about to ask more questions.

However, Qiu Tu spoke first once again.

Qiu Tu smiled and said, "So...Your Highness, what was that little test you mentioned earlier?"

Larilu paused for a moment upon hearing this. Then she said, "Actually... it's nothing."

She said carefully, "As you know, evil gods are the darlings of heaven and earth. We are originally the lords of the region recognized by the origin of the world."

"Therefore... no matter how we change internally, the origin of the world will not react in any way."

"But what if other catastrophic beings seize our position as the ruler of this region?"

"The origin of the world will then present a test."

"The effects of this test vary from person to person, but most of them are just some weakening buffs."

"For example... that yellow mist you saw, if I'm not mistaken, every time it appears, it seems to drain your mental energy, right?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu nodded quickly.

Larilu nodded and then said, "This is one way to weaken a buff."

"However, this situation will not last long. It usually lasts only 1-2 months."

"After two months, you will have passed the test and fully recovered."

Larilu paused for a moment, then said, "Of course, if you perish during these two months due to your weakened strength, then I'm sorry... you haven't passed the test."

"Whether it's the status of the regional lord or his life, it will all vanish into thin air."

After listening to what La Riluo said, Qiu Tu nodded in realization.

Just then, Lariluo quickly stretched out her hand and said pitifully, "Qiu Tu... I've told you everything about that yellow mist. The regional central hub... shouldn't you give it to me now?"

Hearing Lariluo's words, Qiu Tu said nonchalantly, "The regional central hub... was taken by someone else. It's not on me."

Lari Luo: ? ? ?

La Riluo looked at Qiu Tu with a question mark in her eyes.

A moment later, she flew into a rage and yelled at Qiu Tu, "You tricked me!"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu leaned back in his chair, looked at La Riluo, and sighed softly, saying, "Same here, Your Highness. Didn't you lie to me too?"

Larilu was stunned upon hearing this.

She stubbornly retorted, "When did I lie to you?"

Seeing that Larilu wouldn't admit it, Qiu Tu felt in his pocket, took out a cigarette case, took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and lit it.

Taking a deep breath, Qiu Tu narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "If I'm not mistaken... becoming a regional lord and a fourth-order cataclysm may indeed bring some kind of test."

"But... this trial wasn't arranged by the 'origin of the world' as you claim."

There are three reasons.

"First, the 'Origin of the World' has no consciousness; rather, it consists of rules inscribed on the 'Foundation of the World.'"

"We can obtain information from the 'Origin of the World,' but that doesn't mean the 'Origin of the World' will act autonomously."

"Even if it is conscious and can act autonomously, isn't it a bit too much like the emperor's golden carrying pole to place a test on a fourth-tier Cataclysm and a regional lord?"

"Compared to a world, what are fourth-tier Cataclysmics and regional lords?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, La Riluo's expression changed slightly.

Qiu Tu ignored her reaction and continued, "As for your second flaw, it's... you know too much detail."

"If it is really as you say, a test for other catastrophic beings, then in the past few decades, there shouldn't be many non-evil gods who have become regional rulers."

Why are you so familiar with the whole process?

"Either... you've experienced it yourself. Or you're just making it up."

At this point, Qiu Tu paused, then said, "Third, and most importantly."

Qiu Tu laughed and said, "Who told you that evil gods are the darlings of heaven and earth, protected by the world?!"

"Aren't you guys just too good at patting yourselves on the back?"

"If that's really the case, then why were we able to kill Xie Yue? And why were you imprisoned?"

"Most importantly... why can't you even leave the 'Boundless Sea of ​​Mind'? You're too afraid to come to the real world!?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's continuous questioning, La Riluo's fair face turned bright red!

In a fit of anger...

Then... she simply turned away and ignored Qiu Tu.

Seeing her embarrassed and angry expression, Qiu Tu laughed.

He didn't continue to attack Lariel, but instead frankly "threatened" her, "Your Highness, you must remember your current situation..."

“Methods and schemes should only be used when both sides are of equal strength.”

"Now, your life is in my hands. But I no longer need you..."

"So, if you really want to live, you'd better... cooperate with me more."

"Otherwise... I'm not sure what I might do..."

La Riluo's face turned pale upon hearing Qiu Tu's blunt threat.

She stood frozen in place, her already slender figure appearing somewhat forlorn...

She, a dignified fourth-tier evil god, has actually fallen to this state.

It truly is a story that would break the hearts of anyone who hears it and bring tears to their eyes if they see it...

She sat there quietly for a while, then finally turned around, looked at Qiu Tu, and said dejectedly, "Okay... I'll tell you what that is..."
