Then let them offer their loyalty!

I waited like that for several hours.

At 20:00 PM.

Finally, a golden light shot straight into the sky!

Immediately afterwards, an unusual glow appeared in the sky, a light unlike the gentle glow of sunrise or sunset, but carrying an indescribable solemnity and magnificence...

Immediately afterwards, the earth began to tremble, and the mountains and rivers seemed to be given life, radiating vitality!

Upon seeing this unusual phenomenon, Qiu Tu and La Riluo stood up and observed it closely.

Then, at that very moment! A huge rift suddenly opened in the void, from which a torrent of multicolored cataclysmic power surged forth, cascading down like a waterfall and enveloping Zhao Ji completely!

Zhao Ji crossed her arms and closed her eyes, as if receiving a gift from the world. Her aura was visibly surging.

Looking at the scene before him, Qiu Tu was actually a little confused for a moment about whether Zhao Ji was really increasing her strength or restoring her original strength.

Just like that, three more days passed in the blink of an eye!

Qiu Tu and La Riluo stayed in the same place for three days.

They even recorded three or four of "Hundred Eyes Vision".

Qiu Tu was feeling a bit overwhelmed and was hesitating whether to go back and handle his work first, and then watch the live stream every night.

As a result, just as he was thinking this...

The almost endless cataclysmic power in the void came to an abrupt halt.

The next second, Qiu Tu could see with his naked eye that the nine stars on Zhao Ji's forehead, which were connected as one, slowly rotated, approached, and finally merged into one!

'Did they advance successfully?'

Thinking this, Qiu Tu got up from the ground and looked at the scene in the distance...

-----

Two chapters, each 10,000 words long. The next chapter will be released between 11 PM and midnight.

The monthly pass giveaway ends in two days! Please give me your monthly passes!

Chapter 537 Zhao Ji ran away carrying nine areas! (Last day for the monthly ticket lottery!)

Qiu Tu stood up, and La Riluo, who had been clinging to him, also got up.

The two of them gazed together at the situation of Lady Zhao in the distance.

The sea of ​​clouds above Zhao Ji's head churned, and the once clear sky suddenly turned gloomy.

The next second, dark clouds gathered, and thunder rumbled faintly. It was as if something extremely terrifying was brewing.

Zhao Ji's eyes remained tightly closed, her entire body enveloped in a faint golden light. A golden phantom, identical to hers, silently appeared behind her!

That was a sign that the cataclysmic power within her had reached its peak!

The next second, the dark clouds continued to press down!

A thick silver lightning bolt, with the force of thunder, ripped through the sky and violently struck the golden phantom behind her!

Even from a great distance, Qiu Tu felt an overwhelming sense of power that was terrifying!

but!

This lightning bolt, which should have destroyed everything, turned into countless tiny points of light when it came into contact with the faint golden light on Zhao Ji's phantom, and was absorbed into the phantom!

To the naked eye, the phantom seems to have become more solid!

Then came the second, the third, the fourth! All the way up to the ninth bolt of lightning!

Bolts of lightning relentlessly bombarded Zhao Ji's phantom!

The nine stars on Zhao Ji's forehead finally merged completely into one mark!

The next second, the thunder stopped and the rain ceased. The dark, heavy clouds dispersed, replaced by wind! A fierce wind!

The gale-force winds swept through the clouds and mist, swirling at incredible speeds to form a massive vortex that then rapidly expanded, engulfing the surrounding mountains, rivers, and vegetation.

In just a few seconds, the entire "Dawn Zone" was shrouded in thick fog! And the fog was rapidly spreading to the other eight zones controlled by Zhao Ji!

As the mist spread, the nine areas seemed to subtly change!

The next second, Zhao Ji's eyes snapped open, her gaze seemingly containing the vastness of the stars and the sea, deep and unfathomable!

Then, with a blank expression, she gave a soft command, "Imperial Edict!"

With her soft shout, the nine regions began to tremble violently, rivers began to flow backward! Stars reversed in the sky! Clouds and mist swirled back to the heavens! Fish soared above the clouds!

At that moment, all the beings in the nine "Boundless Sea of ​​the Heart" regions seemed to feel the aura of the true god! They all looked up at the sky shrouded in the strange phenomenon!

Complex runes began to appear in the sky, shimmering with golden light. These runes seemed to be the most ancient script in the world, recording the mysteries and power of the universe!

As the power of the runes manifested, the nine areas were lifted into the air!

If someone were outside the world at this moment, looking down at the "Boundless Heart Sea - Northwest Region", they would see that the scattered areas of the Northwest Region had suddenly had nine pieces pried up!

The next second, those nine areas suddenly vanished into thin air!

The perfectly sealed, boundless sea of ​​the heart has actually had a piece pried away by Zhao Ji?!

And perhaps sensing the absence of the area, the mist that permeated the "Boundless Sea of ​​the Heart" area began to frantically pour into the nine missing areas!

.....

Meanwhile.

Qiming City Suburbs.

Qiu Tu and La Riluo appeared from mid-air and then crashed heavily onto a small hillside!

Both of them were high-level Cataclysmic beings, so they wouldn't get hurt at this height.

But after falling from the sky, the two looked at each other blankly, seemingly at a loss.

Qiu Tu glanced at Larilu beside him, then at the "Real World - Langyue City" area, at the suddenly clear sky, paused for a moment, and then asked,

"Wait a minute, what happened? Has Zhao Ji run away with nine areas?"

Qiu Tu pointed to the cloudless sky, a rare sight in this era, and then asked, "So... the nine cities, including 'Qiming City,' no longer have corresponding spiritual worlds?"

La Riluo was also a little dumbfounded when she heard Qiu Tu's words.

She hesitated for a moment, then shook her head uncertainly. "It shouldn't be, right?"

She gazed at the sky, trying hard to recall, "I remember... after advancing to Tier 6, the Cataclysmic Creatures would officially gain the world's recognition and be granted 'fiefdoms' recognized by the world."

"This fiefdom is the 'Boundless Heart Sea Region' where the nine stars aligned previously."

“And the catastrophic creatures that have been granted fiefdoms can then formally call themselves gods.”

"After that... I remember this territory completely belonged to this deity..."

"And then..." At this point, Larilu seemed to remember something, clapped her hands, and a look of surprise appeared on her face, "Yes, yes, yes!"

"Then, this deity can refine these nine areas into his own body!"

"In this way, even if he is far away from his own area, he can still receive the pseudo-grid bonus from his own area at all times."

"Every move he made, every gesture he made, was as if he were carrying nine cities on his shoulders!"

"This is also an important reason why sixth-tier cataclysms are far stronger than fifth-tier cataclysms."

At this point, Larilu paused for a moment, then added, "As for what you said about carrying the region away, that's indeed the case."

"But it's alright. The 'Boundless Sea of ​​the Mind' is a spiritual world, infinite and endless. Even if a few areas are lost, the mist around those areas will gradually fill them, then resonate with the real world, regenerating new areas."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu paused for a moment, then said, "Generate a new region?"

Larilu nodded, then confirmed, "Yes."

She said, "Actually... everything in the 'Boundless Sea of ​​the Mind' is a manifestation of the spiritual world."

"Apart from cataclysmic materials formed by fusing cataclysmic power, or naturally occurring cataclysmic creatures, everything else is illusory."

“And the regional fog is the most primitive and fundamental spiritual force.”

"Once they fill the empty areas, the thoughts and ideas of living beings in the real world will influence them, causing them to change naturally."

"When this influence reaches a critical point, a quantitative change will lead to a qualitative change, giving birth to a new 'boundless sea of ​​the mind'."

Hearing La Riluo's explanation, Qiu Tu nodded in understanding.

Then he couldn't help but ask, "So... these regions can also give rise to new regional lords? Or even new Tier 6 Cataclysmic Beings?"

Larilu nodded affirmatively, "Yes."

Qiu Tu's eyes lit up slightly. If that were the case, nine new regions would suddenly become available across the four states!

Qiu Tu can use these areas to cultivate his confidants and help them advance to the fourth-tier Cataclysm.

Both "Captain" and "Scarface" are fourth-tier experts cultivated by Qiu Tu using the pseudo-rank of "Regional Lord".

After they advanced to the fourth rank by using fake ranks, they gradually mastered the power of the fourth rank. Qiu Tu also gave them enough resources, so their true strength could easily advance to the fourth rank.

With the addition of the pseudo-rank of "Lord of the Region," they became experts in the mid-stage and late-stage of the fourth tier.

This is a very useful culture route that Qiu Tu has been experimenting with recently.

Now that there are suddenly nine more areas, Qiu Tu has every opportunity to cultivate a group of experts!

Even... if someone is highly talented, he might be able to train a fifth-tier, or even a peak fifth-tier master with nine stars aligned!

Once he advances to the sixth rank, he can simply carry the area away.

The vacant area will then be available for the new employee.

If we continue to develop in batches like this, we will soon have a large and powerful army!

At this moment, perhaps sensing Qiu Tu's thoughts, La Rilu tilted her head and reminded him, "Qiu Tu, you don't actually think you can do what my sister can do, do you?"

Qiu Tu snapped out of his daze and looked at La Riluo with a bewildered expression.

"Isn't this something that any sixth-order being could do?"

Larilu leaned back, clutching her stomach and giggling, her little feet twitching.

"Of course not! Ordinary sixth-tier cultivators don't have that kind of strength. They'd be lucky to carry one or two areas."

"The stronger the creature, the more areas it can take with it. Generally, only a Cataclysmic Being at the peak of the sixth tier can carry nine areas with it!"

"And those cataclysmic beings who did not reach the peak of the sixth rank can only remain in their original locations for most of their territory."

"This makes their territory vulnerable to covetousness from other fifth- and sixth-tier beings."

"So... generally speaking, sixth-tier beings will usually stay in their own territory until they become powerful enough to move around freely with their own territory."

"This is why sixth-tier beings are also known as 'Earthly Deities'."

"This is also the core reason why it's difficult for sixth-tier cataclysmic beings to emerge in the 'peripheral regions.'"

"—They must advance to the 'core area,' but after advancing, they cannot return to the 'peripheral area.'"

"Therefore, their territory can easily be occupied by other creatures. At that time, they will either completely lose their path to the 7th rank, or even fall from their realm and perish."

"Therefore, fifth-tier peak gods usually have their own organizations and backers before they dare to advance."

"Therefore, sixth-order gods generally do not fight alone, but each has their own affiliation."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu suddenly felt that he had gained some basic understanding of the fifth and sixth-order evil gods, as well as the "political structure" of the "peripheral area" and the "core area".

However, after learning all this information, Qiu Tu suddenly realized something!

"Wait a minute, you mean... Sister Zhao Ji is already at the peak of Tier 6?!"

Perhaps Qiu Tu's reaction was too strong, because La Riluo rolled her eyes and said nonchalantly, "Look at you, acting like you're making a big deal out of nothing."

"Is it strange for my sister to reach the peak of the 6th tier?"

Qiu Tu: .....

Reaching the peak of the sixth rank is not surprising. However... reaching the peak upon advancement is a bit strange!

Just how much resources has Princess Zhao accumulated over the years?

Or is this... the power of being a "reincarnated god"?

But... what exactly is "reincarnation of a god"?
