Then let them offer their loyalty!

The gap in strength between her and the Four Great Gods had long made this matter an extremely long-term goal, one that she would strive for her entire life.

More than 20 years ago, she was suddenly guided by the "Origin of the World" in her sleep, who told her that the "Trial of the Gods" would be held 20 years later.

The "Trial of the Gods" is the path to the birth of a new god, and the only hope to truly break the monopoly of the God King.

It was this change that ignited her hope. So, over the next 20 years, she devised ways to recruit talent, unite experts, build her reputation, and sow discord between the eighth-tier Great Evil God and the God King. Her aim was to secretly establish an "anti-God King" alliance.

And so, she finally discovered Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji, the most likely duo to help her fulfill her wish. She then "sowed discord" between them and the God Kings.

Although Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji attracted the attention of the four great gods by chance, which made the situation a bit critical, she always believed that her side could get away with it and get another chance to develop.

As a result, no one expected... the reaction of the four great god-kings to be so intense this time.

Doris had often provoked the four of them in the Crimson Territory, but they had always turned a blind eye and ignored her. Yet this time, for such a small matter, the avatars of the three God-Kings had all arrived!

You have to understand, they are still too weak right now, and they are no match for the God Kings at all.

In that instant, Doris truly felt that things were not going as she had expected.

She astutely guessed the turning point in the situation.

Is it because Lady Zhao's identity is unusual?

'Could it be... the reincarnation of a powerful, high-ranking deity? That the Four Great God-Kings are so wary of him?'

'Could it be... a peak-level Celestial God on par with my father?'

'It can't be that legend, can it?'

While speculating about Zhao Ji's identity, Doris continued to analyze the changing situation.

She realized that she seemed to have been completely tethered to Qiu Tu's pirate ship.

If she hadn't been helping Qiu Tu so much these past few days, there would still have been room for negotiation. But having cooperated so closely with Qiu Tu these past few days, even if she sensed the danger, she couldn't back down now.

It seems her "green mountain" is beyond saving; she can only join Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji in burning it down to see if they can burn the four great god-kings to death.

'That damn man...'

Thinking this, Doris couldn't help but silently curse Qiu Tu in her heart. However, after cursing him, she still secretly used her mental power to transmit a message to Qiu Tu and asked about the next plan, "Qiu Tu, what do we do now?"

She thought for a moment and then added, "At most, I can kill one of the Northern God King's avatars, or hold off two of the God King's avatars."

"Now that all three God-King avatars have arrived, I am completely helpless."

Meanwhile, Qiu Tu's brain was also working at lightning speed.

Upon discovering the arrival of the three great god-kings, Qiu Tu realized that things were spiraling out of control.

Their side was shrewd and wanted to stall for time, but the other side, having ruled the "Boundless Heart Sea" for so many years, was no fool either, and simply overturned the table.

The question now is whether to try to drag this out, or... to just start fighting!

Thinking this, Qiu Tu continued to pretend to be seduced by Doris while rapidly assessing the strength of both sides.

According to Doris's previous estimates, although the three god-kings' avatars were all "god-level", there were actually differences in strength.

Of the three God-Kings' avatars, the Northern God-King's avatar is the weakest, almost equivalent to a God who has just broken through to the Heavenly God realm. The difference between him and a peak Great Evil God isn't significant. Several peak Great Evil Gods working together might be able to defeat him.

The Western God King's clone is stronger; it's beyond the capabilities of even a peak-level Great Evil God. It would be quite an achievement if several peak-level Great Evil Gods joined forces to hold him off.

The strongest among them is the Eastern God King. As the leader of the four God Kings, even his avatar is a standard Celestial God, capable of slaughtering peak Great Evil Gods as easily as killing dogs.

As for Doris, Qiu Tu had also subtly inquired about her true strength over the past two days.

According to Doris, in the "Crimson Realm," she used the trump card left by her father to reach the standard God-level in a short period of time.

This is also the source of her confidence that she could hold off two God King clones and even kill the Northern God King clone.

Once the battle devolved into a protracted war, she completely lost her ability to keep up. As for... fighting three avatars of the God-King simultaneously, well, according to her, it would be better to find a different way for her to die.

Thinking this through, Qiu Tu couldn't help but make a decision.

He was thinking...

'So...theoretically, as long as I can hold off the avatars of the Eastern God King and the Western God King, or...quickly kill one or two of the God King's avatars, I can resolve this crisis!'

Thinking about this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but recall the experiment he conducted on the Northern God King's clone yesterday, and his heart gradually felt at ease.

He secretly transmitted his voice to Doris, "Don't worry. You hold off the two God-King avatars. Leave the rest to me."

"Right now... let's stall for time."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Doris remained expressionless, but a sense of unease crept into her heart.

For the past two days, Qiu Tu has been insisting that he can resolve this crisis, and he's appeared quite confident. However... Doris really can't figure out where Qiu Tu's confidence comes from.

Zhao Ji is a "reincarnation of a celestial being," so at most she could only defeat a peak eighth-tier being while still at the early stage of the eighth tier. Qiu Tu... this guy who clings to Zhao Ji's coattails, could he possibly kill a celestial being while only at the early stage of the eighth tier?

But as I said before, Doris is now in a thief's bed.

Putting aside the fact that she didn't want to get out of bed in the first place, even if she did want to, the Four Great Gods wouldn't give her the chance.

So she has no choice but to go down this path to the bitter end!

Thinking this way, Doris felt a sense of calm settle down. Then she began to wait and see how things would unfold.

Although mental transmission cannot be intercepted, the fluctuations in mental energy can still be detected by the gods.

Therefore, while Doris and Qiu Tu were communicating with each other using their mental powers, the three celestial avatars exchanged glances, and roughly guessed what was going on...

If Qiu Tu was telling the truth, then there was no need for the two to communicate. The fact that they've suddenly started talking suggests that he's probably lying to all three of them.

However, this was just speculation, so the three of them didn't launch an attack right now. Although they knew they couldn't give Zhao Ji any more time, they still had a few hours to verify.

Therefore, the Western God-King directly took out a conch-shaped cataclysmic artifact and held it in his hand. After a moment, he put it down and said to the other two God-Kings, "I have already made the arrangements. There should be results in about two hours."

Upon hearing the words of the Western God King, both the Eastern God King and the Northern God King glanced at Doris and Qiu Tu before nodding slightly.

As the four most esteemed individuals in the world, the Four God-Kings were the center of attention wherever they went. Therefore, they didn't need Doris to entertain them; they simply sat down in their chairs, closed their eyes to rest, and patiently waited.

However, the three of them clearly harbored deep suspicion towards Doris and Qiu Tu. Even while sitting in their respective chairs, their mental energy was tacitly focused on Doris and Qiu Tu, as if to prevent the two from escaping.

Seeing this, Doris kept giving Qiu Tu meaningful glances, but Qiu Tu didn't care at all.

He held Doris in his arms, resting with his eyes closed while... using his "crisis sense" to calculate data and... predict the future.

'Use the "Order Space" directly to erase the avatars of the three God-Kings.'

"Trigger crisis awareness! Generate a crisis report!"

"A long winning streak has given you an unrealistic idea of ​​your own abilities."

"You actually believe you have the resources to eliminate three celestial-level avatars."

"Arrogance will lead you to destruction. And because you cannot pay the enormous price, you will be directly devoured and fall."

"Discard this unrealistic idea and live a good life."

Qiu Tu wasn't surprised to see the pop-up notification. He tried to adjust his plan in his mind.

'Let Doris deal with the Northern God King's clones. Then I'll use "Order Space" to erase the Eastern and Western God King's clones.'

"Triggered crisis awareness! Generate crisis report..."

'Let Doris hold off the clones of the Northern God King and the Western God King, while I use "Order Space" to eliminate the Eastern God King....'

"Triggered crisis awareness! Generate crisis report..."

It must be said that in critical moments, a "crisis sense" can be surprisingly effective.

As his strength grows, the number of people and things that can threaten Qiu Tu becomes increasingly smaller. Even with the arrival of the three great god-kings this time, Qiu Tu's "crisis sense" was not triggered.

This is most likely because the three great god-kings' target is Zhao Ji. Even if they really turn against him, they won't kill Qiu Tu, but will instead use torture to extract a confession, giving Qiu Tu many opportunities to survive.

However... this does not mean that Qiu Tu cannot "actively" trigger his "crisis sense" to "predict the future".

He discovered this usage on Zhao Ji back then. (Chapter 588)

And now it's perfect to use it to eliminate the Four Great God Kings.

And so, as Qiu Tu silently used his "crisis instincts" to find the least costly way to deal with the four divine kings before him, three hours passed in the blink of an eye...

An hour later than the Western God King had anticipated, the treasure in his hand suddenly began to vibrate slightly.

The Western God King slowly opened his eyes, then threw the conch-shaped Cataclysmic Artifact in his hand onto the ground.

The cataclysmic artifact landed with a crisp "clang".

Accompanied by a clanging sound, a wave-like sound came from the conch shell, and a woman's voice rang in their ears.

“Your Majesty, we have searched the entire Fifth Sanctuary with our treasures, but we have not found any trace of Zehime.”

"Tianqi also directly denied Qiu Tu's statement, saying that Qiu Tu was talking nonsense. He was so angry that he almost lost his usual elegance, and said with a red face and thick neck that he could confront Qiu Tu face to face."

Upon hearing the woman's report, the Western God King gave a faint "hmm," then looked at Qiu Tu, who was holding the soft, fragrant Doris, and asked, "Qiu Tu, what do you say?"

Upon hearing the words of the Western God King, Qiu Tu, who had been deducing for three hours, finally stopped pretending.

He looked at the Western God King and then said, "Your Majesty, I seem to have remembered it wrong. Zhao Ji may be in the northeastern region."

"Or... why don't you go and look in the Northeast region?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the Western God King laughed in anger. He said, "Qiu Tu, why don't you just have us thoroughly investigate all four regions of the outskirts?"

"But who knows if Zehime might have hidden in the 'core area'?"

At this point, the Western God King's face turned as cold as ice, and he said in a cold voice, "So... stop wasting time. Tell us, where exactly did Zhao Ji advance to?

Upon hearing the words of the Western God King, Qiu Tu shrugged and said, "I've told you the truth, but you don't believe me. What can I do?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the Western God King clearly hesitated, unsure whether to verify it further.

Just then, the Eastern God King, who had been sitting to the side, spoke up.

She spoke in a voice that was neither male nor female, saying, "Don't waste your breath on him."

"Take him down and interrogate him properly."

"It's better than being led by the nose by him and wasting time."

As he spoke, the Eastern God King waved his hand, and a terrifying pressure suddenly descended upon Qiu Tu and Doris!

The next second, with a loud "BOOM!", a huge handprint appeared on the entire castle, from top to bottom, from the roof to the ground!

The chairs that Qiu Tu and Doris used to sit on, along with everything around them, were photographed and turned into a pinkish mess!

The once luxuriously decorated hall was reduced to ruins in an instant!

Fortunately, in the "Crimson Territory," Doris's strength was comparable to that of a god. So when that palm strike came, she had already dodged and pulled Qiu Tu away from where they stood!

However, she was clearly a miser, and upon seeing the hall that had been smashed to pieces by a single blow, her amber eyes turned crimson!

She glared at the Eastern God King who sat there, unable to maintain her usual elegance and charm any longer.

"Are you insane! Takikawa Ei! You killed someone, fine, but why did you have to demolish my house?!"

Upon hearing Doris's words, the Eastern God King, Takikawa Akira, gave Doris a cold look and said, "Insolence!"

As she spoke, she unleashed another palm strike!

This time, Doris was sent flying backward as if she had been hit by a running rhinoceros!

With a series of loud "Boom! Boom! Boom!" sounds, Doris crashed through several walls before falling amidst the rubble!

At that moment, Doris could no longer hold back.

Her entire body was engulfed in raging black flames, which seemed endless and spread outwards.

Flames stretched across the sky and the ground, eventually forming a gigantic black dragon of fire!

"Roar!" The fiery black dragon roared to the sky, exuding a god-level aura, its huge dragon eyes staring menacingly at the three god-king avatars below!

This was clearly the trump card that Doris's father left for her.

However, after ruling the "Boundless Heart Sea" for so many years, the Four Great Gods are now completely different in terms of both strength and demeanor.

Even upon seeing the terrifying black dragon of fire, the three of them showed no change in expression.

They got up and walked step by step into the air.

As they flew higher and higher, their aura also began to rise steadily!

Soon, the aura of the three celestial beings was fully displayed!

In that instant, the aura of the four celestial beings was like four pillars of light reaching the heavens!

In the Northern Kingdom, as well as the border regions adjacent to the Northern Kingdom, the Western Transition Zone, and the Eastern Kingdom, all the gods of the sixth rank and above couldn't help but look up towards the "Crimson Territory."
