If he truthfully reveals his situation, then all the arrangements he made before will have been in vain.
Therefore... he had to find a perfect way to "bring his strength into the light".
So, after thinking it over, he came up with a solution: to “cultivate” another “fourth-order catastrophe”!
This has two advantages.
First, his strength can naturally be revealed from the shadows.
Secondly, the "illusory image of law" of the expert he trained is most likely different from his.
He can not only mislead his enemies, but also further conceal his cataclysmic path, "Order-Politics".
After much deliberation, Qiu Tu ultimately chose the role of "team leader".
The reason is simple: as a Dark Soldier, the "Captain" shares life and death with Qiu Tu. He will never betray him.
This one point alone is enough to put her ahead of any other candidate.
Therefore, Qiu Tu had his eye on the Whale Shark's "Dock Sea Area" from the very beginning. That's why he kept saying that the "Dock Sea Area" was related to his "Vice Speaker Plan".
Besides helping Qiu Tu bring his strength into the open, promoting the "Captain" to a fourth-tier Cataclysm also has another benefit.
That was the perfect excuse Qiu Tu had planned a few days ago to avoid trouble.
As pseudo-Tier 4 Cataclysmics, they are the Sanctuary's top combat force and have always been highly valued by the Sanctuary. Although they are not given political treatment, they are still given extra attention.
Therefore, as long as the New Territories City Investigation Department operates normally and there are no major problems, Qiu Tu's promotion to pseudo-fourth-tier Cataclysm is the most important event in the New Territories City.
Once he shuts himself away, the outside world has nothing to do with him anymore.
Even if trouble arises, it's Jiang Zhenpeng and Lin Chuan who are responsible.
As long as the Investigation Bureau cooperates with the actions of the two giants, it will not make any mistakes.
Even if unexpected situations arise, it is difficult to affect Qiu Tu.
After all, unexpected situations are beyond Qiu Tu's control. — This is completely different from Yan Chen's situation... where the shelter issued a mission, but he was delayed because of his advancement.
'As expected... shifting the blame is the most satisfying thing...'
'Finally, I can have a few days of peace and quiet...'
Thinking this, Qiu Tu looked at the "Yellow Demon Mother and Daughter" in front of him and asked,
"So...you mean the core area of the 'Boundless Sea of the Heart' doesn't actually belong to this world?"
"Is that the origin of the spiritual world? Is it home to many terrifying catastrophic creatures and evil gods?"
"Is it both the true core of the world and a large walled city?"
"Some catastrophic beings and evil gods below the fifth rank, due to insufficient strength, were gradually driven out of the core area and scattered to the outer perimeter of the 'Boundless Heart Sea'?"
"And what they yearn for day and night is to successfully break through to the fifth rank, return to the 'core area,' and then continue to advance to the sixth rank?"
"And... all the Cataclysmic beings above the fifth rank were confined within that besieged city?"
"They want to leave the 'core area' and come into the real world, but they simply can't do it?"
Upon seeing Huang Mei and her daughter nod timidly, Qiu Tu's expression turned somewhat serious.
Let's set aside the possibility that Huang Mei and her daughter are lying. Let's just discuss whether this event is true...
This shows that the crisis facing humanity is far greater than imagined.
Qiu Tu had witnessed the power of a fifth-order evil god.
That's a world of difference compared to the fourth tier.
If it weren't for the exorbitant cost of bringing this to the real world, and the fact that humanity possesses weapons of mass destruction capable of mutual destruction, perhaps... humanity would already be enslaved by evil gods, and we wouldn't have this relatively peaceful situation we have today.
If a fifth-order evil god is this terrifying, then it goes without saying that even higher-order evil gods are terrifying.
Qiu Tu felt a chill just thinking about it.
What's even more troublesome is that, judging from the various actions of the shelters, at least the Eighth Shelter is unaware of the existence of higher-ranking evil gods.
This could very likely lead to some strategic miscalculations.
It's already good that the "Boundless Heart Sea - Core Area" can still restrict those high-level evil gods.
If one day these restrictions fail, then what awaits humanity will be a true catastrophe!
Qiu Tu wasn't a saint, nor did he have any savior complex. However, having lived two lives, he knew the principle that "when the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken."
If the evil god were to truly conquer the world and humanity were to perish, he himself would find it difficult to remain unscathed.
'Damn it....'
Qiu Tu cursed inwardly, then looked at the beautiful mother and daughter and asked, "By the way... to break through to the sixth rank, do we have to go to the core area?"
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Huang Mei and her daughter exchanged a glance. The little girl looked blank, while her mother hugged her and softly explained, "It seems so..."
"To advance from the fourth to the fifth rank, one needs to become a regional lord. And to advance from the fifth to the sixth rank, it seems one must go to the core region."
Qiu Tu asked curiously, "If you advance to the sixth rank, can you come back?"
This question really seems to have stumped Huang Mei.
Huang Mei thought quietly for a moment before saying, "I guess it's not possible?"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu's eyes lit up slightly.
After the promotion... I can't come back?
If that's the case... then Zehime's nine areas... wouldn't that be...
hiss....
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu's heart started to race.
Nine "Boundless Sea of the Heart" regions! How many masters and region lords could this create...?
If I were to take all these regions for myself, how much would my strength increase?

Thinking about this, Qiu Tu realized that he had been a bit too optimistic.
After all... all of this is predicated on Zhao Ji successfully breaking through to the sixth rank in the "Boundless Heart Sea - Core Area".
If Zhao Ji fails to break through and returns to the "Boundless Heart Sea - Outer Region," she'll find that of her nine regions, one has been occupied by La Ri Luo, and she herself has stolen one of the other eight. Wouldn't she just slap herself to death?
Therefore... before taking action, I must ascertain the situation of Zehime.
It is confirmed that she has successfully broken through and will not return to the outer area.
Only in this way can they quietly usurp the nest...
Thinking about it this way, Qiu Tu felt that sending La Ri Luo to "invade" Zhao Ji's territory was a wise move.
Whenever something happens, Lariluo always takes the lead and clears the way, while I can just hide behind and secretly enjoy the spoils...
At this moment, perhaps he had noticed that Qiu Tu was plotting something wicked.
Huang Mei and her daughter exchanged a glance, then hugged each other, drawing even closer together...
Huang Mei is inherently a timid creature. During this time, Qiu Tu has often used threats and inducements against them, so they are both afraid of him.
If it weren't for Qiu Tu occasionally taking out some "Boundless Divine Crystals" to tempt them, they probably wouldn't even dare to speak.
At this moment, Qiu Tu also came to his senses. His gaze fell back on Huang Mei and her daughter.
This mother and daughter are indeed extremely beautiful.
The mother's name was "An Yi," and she looked to be about twenty-one or twenty-two years old. Although she already had a daughter, she was still like a newly blooming lily, pure and with a touch of innocent beauty.
The daughter is named "Sui Sui". She looks about three or four years old, with round cheeks, like a delicate and cute doll.
Moreover, what's fascinating is that "Yellow Enchantresses" reproduce asexually. Once they reach a certain age and have stored enough cataclysmic power within their bodies, they will naturally become pregnant and give birth to their daughters.
According to An Yi herself, she gave birth to "Sui Sui" because she accidentally discovered a very large fifth-order "Boundless Divine Crystal".
After absorbing the power, her strength increased by leaps and bounds, reaching the third tier.
Because of her insufficient strength, she was unable to absorb all the energy of the "Boundless Divine Crystal," so the excess catastrophe power was stored in her body.
As a result, not long after, she discovered that she was pregnant, and a tiny life was being born inside her.
After that, she gave birth to Sui Sui.
Twenty-one or twenty-two years old, virgin, mother... This novel combination of words practically stacked up all the buffs on An Yi.
Furthermore, as Larilu once mentioned, the "Yellow Demon's" body is semi-transparent, so one can clearly see its "entering and exiting." Therefore... even a gentleman like Qiu Tu, who never gets close to women, is somewhat tempted.
However, he also knew that he couldn't be too hasty in dealing with a legendary creature like the "Yellow Demon".
Therefore, Qiu Tu has been cultivating relationships with them during this period, and incidentally... extracting information.
Thinking this, Qiu Tu came back to his senses and continued to ask for information.
He asked, "So, all those catastrophic creatures and evil gods in the 'Boundless Sea of the Heart - Outer Region' now come from the 'Core Region'?"
Upon hearing this, An Yi hugged her daughter, Sui Sui, and quickly shook her head.
Her large, watery eyes looked at Qiu Tu with a pitiful expression, and then she said, "Actually... 99% of the catastrophic creatures and evil gods don't come from the 'Core Area'."
"Although both the 'outer area' and the 'core area' belong to the 'Boundless Sea of the Mind,'... the differences are actually enormous."
"The 'core area' contains creatures of the core area. The 'outer area' contains creatures of the outer area."
"The catastrophic creatures you see, and most of the evil gods, actually originated in the outer regions."
Only a small fraction of the evil gods and catastrophic creatures escaped from the "core area."
"And they naturally possess abilities that are different from other catastrophic beings and evil gods."
Upon hearing An Yi's words, Qiu Tu couldn't help but think of Zhao Ji and La Ri Luo...
These two evil goddess sisters seem to have escaped from the "core area".
Qiu Tu knew little about Zhao Ji and wasn't sure what was special about her, only that she was exceptionally good at fighting.
But Qiu Tu knows La Ri Luo too well.
The fact that Lariluo was able to retain a remnant soul and consciousness after her fall, allowing her to live again, shows that she was no ordinary person.
Qiu Tu initially thought all evil gods were this difficult to deal with.
However, after personally killing the two evil gods, Xie Yue and Jing Jiao, Qiu Tu discovered that the only special one was La Ri Luo.
As for... information on "Yellow Demon" and other things, Lariluo had it all at her fingertips, and even knew exactly how to deal with "Yellow Demon," which further proved her depth of knowledge.
'This must be why Zhao Ji wants to return to the "Boundless Heart Sea - Core Area," right?'
Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but look at An Yun and Sui Sui, and then asked, "So why did you 'Yellow Demons' flee to the 'outer region'?"
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, An Yun and Sui Sui immediately lowered their heads and remained silent.
These past few days, every time Qiu Tu asked this question, the mother and daughter never responded, and Qiu Tu had gotten used to it.
So he didn't press the matter further, but instead took out a fingernail-sized "Boundless Divine Crystal" and threw it into the "Soul Shackles" altar.
Upon seeing that small piece of "Boundless Divine Crystal," An Yun's eyes lit up. She quickly picked it up and handed it to Sui Sui in her arms.
Sui Sui glanced at Qiu Tu with her big, watery eyes and said in a childish voice, "Thank you..."
Seeing this, Qiu Tu smiled and glanced at her, saying, "You're welcome."
After chatting with the "Yellow Charm Mother and Daughter Flower", Qiu Tu put them away and then went next door to take a look at the "Captain" who was still being promoted.
Based on Qiu Tu's previous experience, the "captain" should be promoted in about 2-6 days.
At that time, everything will be settled, and all the strength and achievements Qiu Tu has accumulated during this period will be displayed before everyone...
So... as long as we can get through these few days peacefully...
Thinking this, Qiu Tu stood with his hands behind his back in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, quietly watching the scenery of the New Territories outside, and then patiently waited...

at the same time.
