Then let them offer their loyalty!

The gods exercise power on behalf of Heaven, and wherever they are, they possess the power to resonate with the "origin of the world".

Therefore, as long as the distance is not too far, all deities can sense the power of the gods.

This also meant that when the four celestial-level experts made their move, almost all the local deities sensed it.

'That's... the direction of the "Crimson Realm"? Four Celestial-level beings have made their move? What happened?'

'Are the God-Kings joining forces to sweep through the Crimson Realm? Why has it escalated so much?'

Southwest China.

Tianqi, who had just been inspected by the messenger of the Western God King, was still cursing Qiu Tu and the Western God King with a livid face.

Suddenly sensing that aura, he was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but look in the direction of "Crimson Territory".

Northwest region

At this moment, Shao Hua, who had already arrived in the Northwest region, also sensed those four powerful forces.

She paused involuntarily, then looked in the direction of "Crimson Territory".

'Three Great God Kings? No uncle...? Heh...'

At the same time, even some puppet insect queens and priests in the southeast and northeast regions looked up at the "Crimson Territory".

They sensed the power capable of destroying their kind, and trembled at it...

Just as the entire "Boundless Sea of ​​Hearts" sensed those four divine-level powers.

The next second, an even bigger shockwave came. This time it was clearly the shockwave from a battle!

The three avatars of the God-King and Doris were clearly fighting in the "Crimson Territory".

It's been many years since there's been a battle between gods at the "Boundless Heart Sea" level.

Therefore, the first thing the leaders of all factions did was to order their intelligence departments to go to "Crimson Territory" to record the battle between the four gods!

Over these long centuries, although the rule of the Four Great Gods had gradually taken root in people's hearts.

However, the opening of the "Trial of the Gods" still ignited the ambitions of many forces.

After all, are the gods and deities of heaven and earth born with a special destiny?

The four great god-kings are worthy of being called gods; why can't the other eight ranks be?

Therefore, when the battle at the level of gods was discovered, the entire "Boundless Heart Sea" was in turmoil!

As a result, just when all the forces were harboring their own ulterior motives, suddenly! Three of the four towering pillars of "divine" aura snapped in front of everyone's eyes!

Chapter 683 Surely Qiu Tu couldn't have killed a god, could he? (Seeking monthly votes)

In a spiritual world like the "Boundless Sea of ​​the Heart," the outward effects of all extraordinary powers are amplified.

Even the "origin of the world," which lacks sentience, can directly sense and influence reality, let alone a supreme being like a god.

Therefore, the four towering pillars represent the fortune of four powerful celestial beings.

As a result, three of the four towering pillars of power have now broken.

This signifies something truly terrifying!

'Three celestial beings have fallen? And... in such a short time, almost simultaneously?'

Thinking this, all parties were momentarily stunned.

Following this line of thought, they analyzed and uncovered more information: the four known celestial beings in the entire "Boundless Heart Sea" are the Four Great God Kings.

Besides, only Doris, who resides in the "Crimson Territory," can reach the level of a god in a short period of time thanks to her father's legacy.

Therefore... at least three of the four pillars of power belong to the Four Great God-Kings. And of the three pillars of power that were cut in half, even if one belongs to Doris, the other two must also belong to the Four Great God-Kings!

'The God-King... isn't invincible after all? And he fell at the "Crimson Realm"?'

To be honest, this news shocked all parties even more than the fact that four god-level experts were fighting.

It should be noted that the Four Great Gods ruled the "Boundless Heart Sea" for hundreds of years, which, in the time perception of ordinary beings, would probably be equivalent to seven or eight eras.

This long-standing rule, coupled with the fact that the Four God-Kings always achieved overwhelming victories whenever they intervened, had long since deified them in the minds of all the evil gods, who believed that the Four God-Kings were invincible.

But who knew that all of that would be shattered today?

In an instant, the already unsettled "Four Great Divine Kingdoms," due to the "Trial of the Gods," became even more turbulent. Spies from various factions, following instructions from their superiors, began heading towards the "Crimson Territory," eager to investigate...

While spies from all sides were being mobilized in a frenzy, rumors and speculations about the incident began to circulate wildly among the high-ranking members of each faction.

Some speculate that the four God Kings fought each other in the "Crimson Territory," a lawless area, because of the unequal distribution of benefits.

Some speculate that the three God-Kings joined forces to eliminate the "Crimson Territory," but unexpectedly, Doris revealed her father's trump card, severely injuring the three God-Kings.

Some speculate that Doris conspired with two god-kings to plot against the Northern God-King. However, the Northern God-King saw through their scheme and directly deployed his true form, killing Doris and the two god-kings' avatars.

Because this event was so significant, happened so quickly, and there was so little information available, all sorts of rumors and gossip spread like wildfire.

However, all these speculations have one thing in common: they have nothing to do with Qiu Tu.

After all, no matter which faction analyzes it, they all think: Qiu Tu, an eighth-level early-stage god, no matter how capable he is of fighting beyond his level, or how resourceful he is, could not possibly kill three god-kings, right?

Meanwhile... on the "Crimson Territory," Doris shared the same thoughts as all the other factions.

She stared in disbelief at the three deities falling neatly from the sky, her mind blank.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" With three loud bangs, the corpses of the three god-king avatars crashed heavily to the ground, falling silent, which also awakened Doris.

Doris quickly looked down at Qiu Tu at her feet.

At this moment, Qiu Tu's face turned ashen. He then flew to the ten peak eighth-tier "Boundless Divine Crystals," grabbed a piece with each hand, and frantically absorbed them.

The next second, the two "Boundless Divine Crystals" seemed to melt away and rapidly seeped into his body, leaving almost no trace.

Upon seeing this, Qiu Tu immediately grabbed two more "Boundless Divine Crystals" and began absorbing them again.

Doris was all too familiar with that frantic look: it was clearly a way of replenishing the cost of the "Cataclysmic Ability".

All "catastrophic abilities" in this world follow the principle of equivalent exchange. To wield powerful forces, one must pay a corresponding price.

Just like Doris using her father's trump card, she also had to pay a high price. Otherwise, she would have already swept through the "Northern Kingdom," killed the Northern God King, and avenged her father.

However, compared to the "price" he paid for briefly borrowing his father's power, Qiu Tu's "price" was significantly higher.

'Could it be... that Qiu Tu really did it?'

Thinking this, Doris couldn't help but recall the entire battle that had just taken place. Or rather... those few seconds.

From Doris's perspective, everything started suddenly and ended suddenly.

At that time, she was attacked by the Eastern God King, so she directly used the trump card left to her by her father - "Ancestral Loan".

This is a family-type "pseudo-divine skill" left behind by Doris's father. And the effect of this "pseudo-divine skill" is extremely powerful:

Before their ancestors perish, they can allocate a portion of their power to their descendants' bloodline.

When a descendant of a family related to this ancestor encounters danger in the future, they can borrow the power of their ancestor within the family territory.

The cost of borrowing this power is not high, but it is not small either.

According to her father, ... to perfectly utilize this power, one must worship the ancestors day and night and resonate with their power.

After each use, it needs to be replenished with high-level "Boundless Divine Crystals".

Most importantly... once you use "Ancestral Lending," it's equivalent to automatically signing a "World Contract" with "Ancestral Lending."

When this "descendant" reaches a certain age or a certain level, then it also needs to cut off a portion of its own power and invest it in "ancestral borrowing" to continue its lineage to its descendants.

This is equivalent to sacrificing one's future peak performance in exchange for a safe and healthy developmental period.

Although it comes at a high price, it is indeed a very powerful ability that can turn the tide of battle.

It was with this powerful ability that Doris briefly raised her strength to the "God level," and then fought against three gods, barely managing to block their attacks.

However, both the three god-kings and she knew... she couldn't hold on for long.

Even with the use of "Ancestral Borrowing," her strength is only on par with the Eastern God King's avatar. The reason she can now fight three against one is simply because the God Kings are worried that she has a second trump card, so they are treating her with caution.

But! She... didn't have a second trump card!

When the "Cataclysm of the Gods" occurred, she was too young. It was already a testament to her extraordinary talent that she learned the "Ancestral Borrowing" technique, a pseudo-divine skill, before her father left. There was no time to prepare a second trump card.

Therefore, all she can do now is stall for time and see if Qiu Tu can turn the tide.

After all, although Qiu Tu was a bit of a playboy and a womanizer, he was always a strategist and a man of his word.

Since Qiu Tu claimed he could defeat the three God Kings, Doris was willing to take the gamble.

The four fought for over ten seconds. Suddenly, a beam of azure light pierced through the bodies of the three God-Kings!

In that instant, Doris clearly noticed that the expressions of the three God-Kings had changed, and that their auras were rapidly diminishing.

At the time, she had no idea what was happening, and when she scanned Qiu Tu with her mental energy, she found that Qiu Tu didn't seem to be making any moves.

It was as if everything had nothing to do with him.

Just as she was thinking this, something even more shocking happened!

As their aura rapidly diminished, the three divine kings' avatars strangely twisted their necks to the left in unison, their eyes wide open and bloodshot as they plummeted toward the ground!

When Doris scanned them with her mental energy, she was surprised to find that they had all died silently!

This discovery utterly shocked Doris.

These were three top-tier experts, and they died so silently?

Is this some kind of legendary god resurrected, or is someone cheating?

Shocked, Doris once again focused her mental energy on Qiu Tu.

It wasn't that she trusted Qiu Tu that much, but... everyone present, except for Qiu Tu, was someone Doris knew very well.

Furthermore, Qiu Tu is currently in a state of frantically paying the price, so who else could it be but him!

After sorting everything out, Doris finally looked down from the sky onto the ground with a complicated expression.

At this moment, after absorbing six peak eighth-tier "Boundless Divine Crystals", Qiu Tu finally stopped his actions.

He seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, his face filled with joy, and then he plopped down on the ground.

Seeing this, Doris fell silent for a moment before walking over to him, crouching down, and tentatively asking, "Was it you who did this?"

Qiu Tu disliked the idea of ​​hiding one's true colors in the dark. His motto was always: if you have something to show off, don't pretend; otherwise, it's outdated.

So he nodded slightly without any hesitation, and then asked with a smile, "If it wasn't me, then it could be you?"

Doris was not angry at Qiu Tu's aggressive words. Her amber eyes kept flashing, as if she were seeing Qiu Tu for the first time.

She felt she might have struck gold. A mid-stage eighth-tier cultivator, capable of slaying a celestial being?

This is even more exaggerated than the legendary achievements of the gods of yesteryear.

Thinking this, her eyes sparkled, and she couldn't help but ask, "How did you do that?"

At this point, she added, "Those were... three celestial beings."

Hearing Doris's words, Qiu Tu, who had finally regained some strength, couldn't help but raise a finger, "No, those are not three gods, but three gods who descended upon an eighth-tier powerhouse."

Upon hearing this, Doris blinked slightly, somewhat not understanding the meaning behind Qiu Tu's words.

Three celestial beings who descended upon an eighth-tier powerhouse...? What's the difference between this and three celestial beings?

Aren't they all gods?

Seeing Doris's questioning expression, Qiu Tu couldn't help but smile.

After several hours of testing, Qiu Tu had roughly figured out why his cataclysmic ability "Order Space" was effective against the God King's avatar.

—Although the God King's avatars have reached the level of gods in terms of combat power, their strength was actually forcibly increased by the God King who descended.

Their true status and realm are actually related to the vessel through which they descend.

The God-King needs a vessel to use his descent clone.

Although those who wish to wield the power of the God-King must be carefully selected eighth-order deities.

But... an eighth-order is still an eighth-order!

Even without reaching the level of a Celestial God, Qiu Tu's "Order Space" can still take effect.

It was this discovery that convinced Qiu Tu that he could use the "Order Space" to annihilate the avatars of these three God-Kings. The only question was the cost.
