Then let them offer their loyalty!

"Cuckoo, cuckoo..." A cuckoo perched on some branch, emitting a clear and melodious call that slowly echoed in the quiet night.

In the reception room, Qiu Tu was sitting in the main seat, patiently waiting for his guests tonight while flipping through the documents in his hands....

I don't know how much time passed; it might have been ten minutes, or it might have been half an hour.

Suddenly, the rustling of leaves stopped abruptly, and outside, as if time had frozen, there was complete silence.

There were no chirping insects, no bird calls, not even the sound of wind.

Qiu Tu raised his head and looked outside. The next second, a huge snake, as tall as a person, with bright yellow eyes, suddenly appeared outside the door.

Those snake eyes were cold and evil, like a towering serpent monster peering at Qiu Tu inside the room through the door with its malicious and greedy gaze.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu didn't seem to care at all. He said, "Your Highness, I'm very glad you could come to keep our appointment."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the snake's eyes snapped shut, and the next second, the girl who looked exactly like Shen Ling Shuang appeared out of thin air in the room.

She stood there, arms crossed, her large eyes casually surveying Qiu Tu. "You're celebrating too soon."

"I'm here tonight to take your dog's life."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but smile, then put the document in his hand aside and said confidently, "If Your Highness really intended to take my life, then you wouldn't have deliberately left a flaw that I would have discovered."

"Candle Dance" didn't go along with Qiu Tu at all. Her watery eyes, exactly like Shen Ling Shuang's, were full of cunning. "Who told you that I deliberately revealed the flaw? Is it not good enough that I'm bad?"

Even before he came into contact with "Candle Dance", Qiu Tu had witnessed "Candle Dance" confronting Shen Yuzhou several times.

At the time, he thought "Candle Dance" was because she disliked Shen Yuzhou. Now it seems... Candle Dance was simply lacking in manners. Everyone should be treated equally.

However, this is understandable.

Leaving aside the fact that the evil gods' civilization resembled a "primitive tribe," let's just talk about the experiences of "Candle Dance":

He was reincarnated and given a second chance at cultivation, but was tricked and ended up with an extra father. He was also controlled and forced to fight for his enemies.

If it were Qiu Tu, he would probably also be very considerate of everyone's feelings: he wouldn't allow anyone to be happy.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu no longer cared about "Candle Dance's" attitude, and instead asked, "May I ask how Your Highness is addressed?"

"Zhuwu." Zhuwu walked to Qiu Tu's side, jumped onto the chair next to Qiu Tu as if they were old friends, picked up a pastry from the table and started eating.

“Candle Dance…” Qiu Tu murmured the name “Candle Dance” for a moment, then praised, “A good name.”

Zhu Wu, her mouth stuffed full, rolled her eyes and said, "If you can't compliment someone, then don't compliment them."

“Shen Yuzhou is very vigilant, so I only had 5 minutes to sneak out this time, so I didn’t have time to waste.”

After saying that, she lowered her head and picked up a pastry, then said casually, "So, you asked me out tonight, is there something you need?"

"You can't possibly be interested in me, can you? I'm so young, and you're interested in me? You're a pervert!"

Qiu Tu: ....

Qiu Tu suddenly understood why Shen Yuzhou blew up seven times a day.

This god has a truly venomous mouth, and he talks so much and so frequently, it's infuriating!

Thinking this, Qiu Tu quickly composed himself and said, "Your Highness is joking. The reason I came to see you so late at night was actually to ask you whether you want to regain your freedom?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, "Candle Dance" paused for a moment. Then she looked up at Qiu Tu and asked, "Do you have a way to free me?"

Qiu Tu nodded, then shook his head. "I have some ideas, but I'm not sure I can put them into practice."

If Qiu Tu makes a guarantee right away, then "Candle Dance" most likely won't believe him.

But now that Qiu Tu is speaking more cautiously, "Candle Dance" believes him to some extent.

She didn't even eat the snacks, but looked at Qiu Tu and asked, "What are your conditions?"

Qiu Tu smiled and said, "I want you to swear an oath by the 'Origin of the World' to obey me for the next year."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, "Candle Dance" looked at him warily, then couldn't help but ask, "You're not planning to take this opportunity to arrange something I can't complete, or force me to do something that will hurt me, are you?"

At this moment, Qiu Tu behaved very uprightly. He shook his head and said, "Of course not."

“If I assign you tasks that you cannot complete; or force you to do things that will harm you; or even violate the spirit of the contract, such as ordering you to extend for another year; you can simply disregard our agreement.”

This time, "Candle Dance" was clearly more serious.

Her mind raced. Unable to find any way to trick her, she smiled and extended her hand to Qiu Tu, saying, "No problem!"

"Pleasant to work with."

Perhaps not expecting things to go so smoothly, Qiu Tu didn't rush to reach out his hand when he saw the delicate, fair hand of the "reincarnated god" before him. Instead, he blinked and asked another question.

"Your Highness, do you trust me that much?"

"You agreed to my conditions after only two minutes of meeting, without even needing to think it over carefully or get to know me?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, "Candle Dance" waved her hand dismissively, "I may not understand you, but don't I understand Shen Yuzhou?"

"It's hard to say what kind of people he praises. But how bad can the people he criticizes be?"

"Therefore, I feel at ease working with you."

Qiu Tu:......6

For some reason, Qiu Tu felt that the logic of "Candle Dance" seemed to make no mistake.

With his last worry gone, Qiu Tu finally felt at ease.

He smiled and took the initiative to extend his hand to shake hands with "Candle Dance".

"Candle Dance's" hands were slightly cool and smooth, somewhat different from Shen Lingshuang's.

Thus, the two reached a temporary agreement through verbal communication.

Having perhaps become one of their own, "Candle Dance" no longer cared about her image. She lay sprawled on the chair, picked up the plate of pastries on the table, and poured them into her mouth.

He looked like a starving ghost.

While eating the snacks, "Candle Dance" chewed and said, "You humans really know how to eat. The things you invent taste so good."

After finishing all the snacks in one go, Duwu clapped her hands, jumped off the chair, and said, "Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

"Waiting for your good news."

After saying that, her body flickered slightly and then completely disappeared from the reception room.

Upon seeing this, a smile slowly appeared on Qiu Tu's face...

"Candle Dance" is done; all that's left is to deal with Shen Yuzhou...

To win over Shen Yuzhou, a careful plan is necessary.

Thinking this through, Qiu Tu couldn't help but ponder how to persuade Shen Yuzhou to give up this priceless "Reincarnation of a Celestial," which was even the most prized possession of the "Orderly Faction"...

......

Meanwhile, just as Qiu Tu was strategizing...

At the "isolated mountain range" where the "Boundless Heart Sea Core - Core Area" and the "Northwest Region" meet, a series of women with tall, noble figures, cold temperaments, and stunningly beautiful appearances slowly emerged.

She was like a celestial being descended to earth, with skin as white as snow and eyebrows like a crescent moon. Her beautiful eyes were cool and bright, and with a flicker of their light, they seemed capable of freezing a person in place.

It was none other than... Zehime, who had come from the "Northwest Region" to the "Core Area".

As they stepped out of the "isolated mountains," they were met with a massive amount of catastrophic power!

If the cataclysmic power in the real world of the "Northwest Region" is a handful of clear water, then the cataclysmic power in the spiritual world of the "Northwest Region" is a pond.

The concentration of cataclysmic power in the "core area" is like a river!

The three are completely incomparable.

As the power of cataclysm was poured in, Zhao Ji's aura began to rise rapidly as she walked.

Seventh rank, early stage of seventh rank, middle stage of seventh rank, late stage of seventh rank!

After walking just a few steps, Zhao Ji's strength skyrocketed from the initial stage of the seventh rank to the late stage of the seventh rank.

Clearly, this is the result of her experience in the "Northwest Region".

After leaving the "Isolated Mountains," Zhao Ji glanced back at them, then frowned slightly.

'It seems... I've gotten a little shorter.'

Is integration accelerating?

'It seems that it won't be long before the Northwest Region and the Southwest Region are completely integrated into the Boundless Sea of ​​the Heart, becoming one of the core regions.'

'At that time, those two regions will likely undergo another massive transformation...'

Thinking this, Zeji withdrew her gaze and turned to the "core area" in front of her, where the spiritual world and the real world had been completely integrated!

The vast grassland was covered with lush star grass, each blade of grass topped with a tiny but bright star, like precious materials for a cataclysmic event.

A gentle breeze blows, and the grass ripples like waves, resembling a river of stars flowing across the earth.

In the distance, a majestic mountain range floats in mid-air, and a huge whale, exuding a terrifying 8th-tier aura, swims freely among the floating mountains.

Its occasional jets of water transformed into dazzling ribbons of light, like the Milky Way falling from the heavens.

The band of light fell onto the grassland and instantly transformed into a swarm of agile, fiery butterflies.

Those Flame Butterflies were clearly quite powerful, probably around the second tier. They danced gracefully across the grassland, scattering fiery sparks that created a tranquil lake entirely composed of flames.

Zehime's gaze lingered on this magnificent world for two seconds before she embarked on her journey with a blank expression.

As she was wandering through the Starlight Grassland, she suddenly glanced behind her.

The majestic "isolation mountain range" still stands there, though it no longer reaches the sky, it is still towering and majestic.

'This is the true world belonging to the mutated beings...'

'Don't wait until the region is fully integrated before acting; by then, it will be too late.'

'I'll be waiting for you in the "core area"....'

.....

At this time, Qiu Tu was unaware that Zhao Ji had extended a new invitation to him.

After a busy day, he returned alone to his villa and once again retrieved the soul shackles that imprisoned "Little Yaksha"...

-------

The last two days of the month, please vote with monthly tickets!

Chapter 604 The Four Great God Kings and the Elector (Seeking monthly votes on the last day of the month)

Qiu Tu placed the altar containing the little Yaksha's soul shackles on the table, and what came into Qiu Tu's view was the little Yaksha's ingratiating smile as it looked up at him.

Perhaps because she had been imprisoned by Qiu Tu for too long, or perhaps because she had been in a soul state for too long, this little evil god loli looked a bit malnourished.

It was small in stature, and its face was no longer rosy, but rather a sickly white. The two small pointed horns on its head had become dull and lifeless, and even the two small wings on its back drooped down.

Qiu Tu's gaze lingered on the little yaksha's hopeful eyes for a moment before he reached out and took out a thumb-sized sixth-tier "Boundless Divine Crystal," which he then tossed into the Soul Shackles Altar.

Upon seeing that Qiu Tu had indeed fulfilled his promise, Little Yaksha's face immediately lit up with excitement.

Gone was her former haughty arrogance; her face was filled with joy and surprise. She then pounced on the "Boundless Divine Crystal" and grabbed it.

The "Boundless Divine Crystal," about the size of a thumb, looked like a small wooden stick in her hand.

Immediately afterwards, she closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and the next second, the "Boundless Divine Crystal" transformed into countless colorful light spots, surging into her nasal cavity.

Perhaps because she is still a spirit, Qiu Tu could clearly see the seven-colored light spots gradually spreading from her nose to her whole body.

It was visibly that the little demon's body seemed to have solidified a bit.

Unfortunately, the thumb-sized "Boundless Divine Crystal" was still too small, so in just a few seconds, the little Yaksha absorbed the entire "Boundless Divine Crystal".

She looked up at Qiu Tu with her big, watery eyes. Though she didn't speak, her meaning was crystal clear: Give me a little more...

However, this trick works well on others, but it doesn't have much effect on Qiu Tu.

So, he just glanced at the little demon and got straight to business, saying, "The information you provided is correct."

"The method used by the Third Sanctuary to control that 'God' was indeed to have that 'God reincarnation' devour the girl's soul."

"And because it was not completely devoured, a strange connection was formed between the two."

"Therefore, theoretically, it's possible to influence that 'reincarnated god' through the girl's remnant soul."

"So when I showed the third shelter that I had the girl under control, they panicked."
