"Come here, I need you to do two things..."

.....

As the true ruler of the four kingdoms, the God-King travels at an extremely fast speed.

So, that very night, the Crimson Territory welcomed its first God-King.

At that time, Qiu Tu had already been freed from the ropes binding him and was refining the "Boundless Heart Sea Region".

At that time, he and Zhao Ji killed five or six eighth-level experts in one go. Zhao Ji took the "Boundless Divine Crystal" and the attached "Boundless Heart Sea Region" from the "Kabane".

Qiu Tu obtained the remaining "Boundless Divine Crystal" and the additional area.

It's important to know that Zhao Ji is invincible among those of the same rank, but so is Qiu Tu. Moreover, with his snowballing progress over this period, his ranking has already entered the top 10 of the "Trial of the Gods".

Qiu Tu had originally planned that if Zhao Ji failed to secure first place in the final few days, he would withdraw from the competition and allocate his own resource points to Zhao Ji.

However, judging from Zhao Ji's progress now, she will most likely be able to regain first place without Qiu Tu's help.

In this situation, Qiu Tu naturally retained his own resources. This gave him a sudden and very strong competitive edge in the top 10.

In theory, if his bonus points are high enough, then as long as his strength improves, he has a chance to get a second or third "God Rank" spot.

Therefore, during this period, he was refining the "Boundless Heart Sea Region" on his own while also using "Earn Without Effort" to refine it seamlessly 24 hours a day.

Just as his grand refining plan was in full swing, there was a gentle knock on his door.

Upon hearing the knock on the door, Qiu Tu slowly withdrew from the state of refining the "Boundless Heart Sea Region".

Then he opened his eyes, looked towards the door, and asked in a deep voice, "What is it?"

Upon hearing his words, Doris's butler outside the door politely said, "Chairman Qiu, it was Miss who asked me to inform you."

"She said, 'The God King has arrived.'"

At this point, the steward paused, then continued, "However... it wasn't the Eastern God King who came, but the Northern God King."

Chapter 679 Zhao Ji Reaches the Top! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Upon hearing the butler's words, Qiu Tu, who was sitting upright on the bed, showed little expression.

Clearly, this somewhat surprising news was something he had already expected.

Having come from the political department, his keen sense of intelligence has always far surpassed that of others. As early as two days ago, when the Northern God King threatened Doris that he needed all three God Kings to come, Qiu Tu realized: times had changed.

The era when the four great gods were wary of each other and acted independently is over.

With the imminent birth of new gods, including powerful ones like Zhao Ji who could fight against many, the four god-kings, as beneficiaries of the existing system, likely had already secretly united to maintain their rule.

For a new force to stand at the table of power in this world, it must break through the blockade of the old forces.

Therefore, although it was the Eastern God King who threatened Doris and Qiu Tu this time, it is reasonable for the Northern God King to come and receive Qiu Tu on his behalf.

After all... this is the "Northern Kingdom," making it much easier for the Northern God King to come and go. He'll also find it easier to get support if he encounters danger.

However... although he anticipated this situation, it doesn't mean that Qiu Tu wanted this outcome.

After all, as mentioned earlier, the Northern God King is too close to the "Crimson Realm." He has too much support to receive.

If the Eastern God King travels a long way to the "Crimson Territory," and Qiu Tu and Doris join forces to kill one of her clones, then it will take a long time for her next clone to come to the "Crimson Territory" again.

This can effectively buy time.

However... the Northern God King is different. His territory and region are located on the outskirts of the "Crimson Territory".

In theory, as long as He has enough resources and prepares multiple clones in advance, He can seamlessly deploy them to the outer perimeter of the "Crimson Territory".

After all... let alone a God-King, even a seventh-order evil god can freely teleport and move "items" within their own territory.

This meant that even if Qiu Tu and Doris joined forces to kill the Northern God King's clone, they couldn't buy much time.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

As expected... Murphy's Law exists in every world. The possibility I hate most has come to pass.

However, Qiu Tu had lived two lives and faced countless hardships. Hardships never defeated him; they only made him stronger. Thinking this, Qiu Tu composed himself and said in a deep voice to the door, "Okay. I understand."

Upon hearing this, the butler outside the door bowed slightly in response, then bowed again before leaving Qiu Tu's room.

As he listened to the fading footsteps, Qiu Tu's thoughts slowly came to a close.

Now that the worst has happened, we must look forward.

Now, it all depends on how long he and Doris can hold out...

First, the first thing he had to do was to determine whether he could deliver on his promise to Doris: to kill a god!

Thinking this, Qiu Tu's mental energy stirred slightly, and the next second, his clothes flew up, and the red rope by the bed flew over and wrapped around his body.

However, in a moment, he was tied to the bed, just like in that photograph, his eyes wide open and bloodshot, with Doris's bra in his mouth.

He was clearly well-prepared to handle any inspection...

Meanwhile.

Crimson Territory, Lord's Castle.

Doris is also receiving the Northern God King.

The Northern God King's clone was a handsome young man who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old.

He seemed to have some understanding of human culture. He was wearing a white, close-fitting Hanfu with flying birds embroidered on it, and he looked somewhat like a handsome and elegant gentleman.

However, Doris clearly didn't like him. So, even though the Northern God King looked so good, and even though he represented the three God Kings, Doris still subtly mocked him.

"Kitazawa, you still like handsome little boys so much."

"Every time I choose a clone, I choose a teenager."

"But... anyone who can become an avatar of a God-King is an eighth-order deity. They've all lived for who knows how many years."

"You look like a young man, but you're old at heart. Aren't you just deceiving yourself?"

Upon hearing Doris's words, the Northern God King swiftly opened his folding fan, then casually fanned himself while saying, "..."

"Appearance is just a shell; whether it's good-looking or not doesn't matter. As long as you like it, that's all that matters. After all... appearance is about pleasing yourself, and as long as you're happy, that's all that matters."

"On the contrary, the more I care about changes in my appearance, the more I care about everything, even... become too obsessed."

At this point, he said meaningfully, "Just like yourself."

The two have clearly exchanged sharp words many times over the years, so Doris completely ignored the Northern God King's hints, treating them as mere nonsense.

She steered the conversation back to the age of her alter ego, saying, "Me, obsessed? You're the one who's obsessed. If you don't have an obsession, why do you keep choosing the appearance of a teenager?"

The Northern God King gave her a deep look, then said, "It's just a habit."

"I can choose a young girl or a middle-aged man. It doesn't matter."

"But I won't deliberately avoid my preferences and habits, because that represents another kind of obsession."

It must be said that the Northern God King's ability to become a god and survive the "Cataclysm of the Gods" demonstrates his considerable skill in inner reflection and critical thinking.

So, Doris said a couple of things, but couldn't win the argument, so she simply shut up and told the servants to pour tea.

A moment later, a maid came to serve tea. With the maid's interruption, the atmosphere in the room finally softened.

After finishing a cup of tea, it was the Northern God King who spoke first. He said, "Doris, I am here on the behalf of the Eastern God King to take Qiu Tu away according to your agreement."

As the most beautiful woman in the four kingdoms, Doris exudes charm with every move she makes, even while drinking tea.

She took a small sip of tea, then said in her usual languid voice, "The Eastern God King did indeed order me to hand over Qiu Tu. And I agreed."

At this point, she changed the subject, "But..."

"It took me a lot of effort to win over Qiu Tu. Even if you don't give me a thank-you fee, you should at least give me some compensation for my hard work, right?"

She looked at the Northern God King and made an outrageous demand, "I don't want much. How about 10 'Boundless Divine Crystals' from peak eighth-tier evil gods?"

The Northern God King laughed when he heard Doris's unrealistic and outrageous demands.

The young god-king gently waved his fan and said, "The 'Boundless Divine Crystals' of ten peak eighth-tier gods?"

"Do you think a peak eighth-tier deity is as common as cabbage?"

"Furthermore, Qiu Tu is merely an early-stage eighth-tier deity. What makes him capable of exchanging ten peak-stage eighth-tier 'Boundless Divine Crystals'?"

The Northern God King's words clearly did not surprise Doris; she had obviously prepared her response beforehand. She gently twirled her long, wine-red hair with her slender fingers, then spoke softly in her alluring voice,

"Qiu Tu's strength is indeed average, but don't forget that he is the leader of the human camp. He also carries Zhao Ji's secret. Therefore, his value cannot be measured simply by his strength."

At this point, Doris glanced at the Northern God King, then said calmly,

"Besides... eighth-tier peak deities are really as common as cabbages."

"Have you forgotten about the 'Trial of the Gods' that's currently underway?"

"The entire 'Fringe Region' is teeming with peak-level eighth-tier Great Evil Gods. You could easily go and kill ten or eight, wouldn't that be enough?"

"Anyway, for you God-Kings, it's just a matter of slapping them one by one."

King of the North God: .....

Hearing Doris's solution, which was completely unlike anything a normal person could come up with, the Northern God King couldn't help but laugh in anger. He shook his head, wanting to refute her.

But then Doris changed the subject again, saying, "Beize, you can take your time to consider my conditions, or you can talk to the Eastern God King about it. It doesn't matter."

"To show my sincerity, I can take you to meet Qiu Tu first."

Upon hearing Doris's words, the Northern God King pondered for a moment and decided that it would be good to see Qiu Tu first.

Thinking this through, he nodded and agreed.

And so, the two got up and set off to see Qiu Tu. Led by Doris, the Northern God King wandered around for more than ten minutes before finally arriving at the door of the room where Qiu Tu was imprisoned.

Several guards were standing watch outside the door. Doris gestured to them, and the guards quickly returned the salute. Then the leader took out a key and opened the door.

Soon, a clean and tidy room came into view. In the center of the room was a large bed that could fit three people. Qiu Tu was naked from the waist up, tied to the bed, and had Doris's underwear stuffed in his mouth, looking extremely miserable.

Upon seeing this, the Northern God King was also stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but concentrate and carefully observe Qiu Tu's situation.

It's important to know that Qiu Tu is currently the leader of the human camp, and he's always been a master strategist with unparalleled wisdom. Aside from his fondness for beautiful women, he has virtually no weaknesses.

And now... he's actually fallen into Doris's hands?

To be honest, when they first received this news, both the Northern God King and the Eastern God King felt that it was more like a trap.

At this moment, Doris, perhaps noticing that the Northern God King was observing Qiu Tu, also began to interfere.

She crossed her arms and slowly explained, "Qiu Tu is actually quite an interesting person. He's good in terms of ability, temperament, and status."

"Unfortunately... his biggest problem is his lust."

“And that happens to be my area of ​​expertise.”

"So, with just a few simple tricks and schemes, he became my devoted follower."

"However, his willpower is indeed outstanding, so... I need to slowly train him, conquer him, and make him completely fall into my hands."

"Some underhanded tactics might be necessary during this process, which is why we did it this way."

Upon hearing Doris's words, the Northern God King silently examined Qiu Tu several times. Seeing that Qiu Tu did indeed seem to be in great pain and his condition was strange, he nodded slightly, acknowledging Doris's words.

He wanted to take Qiu Tu away, but Doris didn't give him that option at all: after he finished his examination, Doris simply gestured for him to leave.

This is, after all, the "Crimson Territory," the most powerful force below the Four Great God-Kings. Without a complete breakdown in relations, the Northern God-King must still show it sufficient respect.

So after giving Qiu Tu another deep look, he nodded slightly and followed Doris away.

As a result, the moment he left the room...

Suddenly, he felt an itch on his head, and he couldn't help but look up and scratch it.

However, at that moment, he couldn't help but pause for a moment.

He's a god-king, and even in his current state, as an avatar, his strength is at least at the eighth rank. A cataclysmic being of the eighth rank or higher feeling an itch to act? That's incredibly rare.

Thinking this, he swept his mental energy across the area, as if trying to find out who had been plotting against him.

But... after scanning the area with his mental energy, he found nothing unusual.

'That's strange... Could I be imagining things?'
