"So, the remaining question is, which of the four great god-kings are you?"

At this point, Qiu Tu paused, then smiled at the man in white and said, "I don't think I need to explain this in detail, do I?"

"Among the four great god kings, only the Southern God King has been using clones all these years."

"This time, Zhao Ji and I have encroached on the territory of the Four Great Gods, which could pose a huge threat to their rule. The Three Great Gods have joined forces, but the Southern God has remained silent."

"Of course, I would suspect you first of all that you are the Southern God King."

After listening to Qiu Tu's list of clues and logical analysis, the man in white clapped his hands lightly.

He said with a smile, "Impressive. No wonder I had high hopes for you."

"They deduced my identity based on such limited clues."

"Compared to Apocalypse, who knows nothing about me right now, you are far too intelligent."

Qiu Tu didn't seem to care about the praise from the man in white.

Even after guessing the true identity of the man in white, Qiu Tu knew that the person in front of him was no ordinary person.

Moreover, he has been planning this for decades, so it's definitely not something he's doing idly; he's playing a very big game.

Before figuring out his ultimate goal, Qiu Tu dared not let his guard down.

Moreover... perhaps the things that have happened recently have been too much, and Qiu Tu is being too sensitive.

After learning about Baiyi's identity, a question lingered in his mind: was his time travel related to Baiyi?

Back in the New Territories, Qiu Tu actually discovered that his time travel was related to La Ri Luo's arrival and Yan Chen's setting up of a magic array to restrict La Ri Luo.

At the time, Qiu Tu thought it was all just a coincidence or an accident, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

However, after learning about Bai Yi's identity and all his talents, Qiu Tu found it really hard to treat it all as just an accident.

Of course, this question can only remain buried in his heart for now, and cannot be expressed directly.

So he didn't bring up the matter, but instead said indirectly, "I'm just a little clever at most, and it was just luck that I knew your identity. As for anything else, I know nothing."

“It’s like…” Qiu Tu paused, then said, “I just don’t know what your purpose is in doing all this.”

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the man in white looked at Qiu Tu with a gentle expression. Instead of answering Qiu Tu's question directly, he asked in return, "Guess?"

Qiu Tu sat in the chair, his gaze unwavering. After a moment of quiet contemplation, he slowly spoke.

"I guess... you're looking for another way."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, a hint of amusement appeared in the white-robed man's eyes. "What kind of path?"

Qiu Tu didn't pay attention to the white-clothed man's expression. All his guesses were based on logic and judgment, not on guesswork.

Micro-expressions are useful for most people, but they are useless for a god-king like Bai Yi, who has gone through countless years and trials.

Therefore, Qiu Tu silently analyzed, "I don't know why you four great god-kings chose to become such pseudo-god-kings back then."

"However...it's clear that this path to becoming a pseudo-god-king is problematic. While it can make you powerful, it will also bind you."

"So you're trying to break free from this path and be reborn."

After speaking, Qiu Tu looked at the man in white, his eyes filled with a hint of inquiry.

Seeing this, the man in white smiled and shook his head, "I definitely can't tell you what I'm doing."

“But...you can trust me, we, you, and Zehime will be friends, not enemies.”

At this point, as if to show his sincerity, the man in white said, "I have a rough idea of ​​what you want to do."

"I can agree to that."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu looked at the man in white, blinked, and then asked, "But can you still use the power of the God King?"

Upon hearing this, the man in white shook his head and said, "We don't need the power of a God-King. One clone is enough."

"Takikawa Akira and Tennu aren't very bright; they can be easily intimidated."

Since entering the study, Bai Yi has been extremely discreet, revealing no key information other than acknowledging his identity.

This made Qiu Tu raise his evaluation and vigilance by two levels.

And so, the two of them talked about their plans for the future.

Because they were all intelligent people, they understood the key points and details of the plan after going through it once.

After discussing the plan, Qiu Tu got up to see Bai Yi off.

Watching the white-clad figure slowly disappear into the study, Qiu Tu stood by the window, gazing at the scenery outside, and lit another cigarette.

As he quietly smoked, Qiu Tu also recalled his plan.

Actually, his plan was very simple. In the words of a great man, it was: make as many friends as possible and as few enemies as possible.

Unite all forces that can be united, and strike down all enemies against whom reconciliation is impossible.

During this period, Qiu Tu's series of actions were actually aimed at testing and dividing the four great god kings.

The rise of Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji will inevitably affect the interests of the Four Great God Kings and will also provoke a counterattack from them.

With four celestial-level experts attacking, including a peak celestial being, Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji had absolutely no chance of resisting.

But... what if we're not facing the Four Great God Kings?

What if the four God-Kings were made to check and balance each other?

So, will everything then be resolved?

After all... the four great gods were not of one mind to begin with, and their thoughts would certainly differ when faced with the attacks of Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji.

That's why Qiu Tu sent Zhao Ji to provoke the Northern God King, and that's why Qiu Tu investigated the matter of the white-robed man.

All of this is simply about choosing the target of differentiation.

And now it seems the result is not bad: after being provoked for two or three days, the Northern God King still remained secluded, and Qiu Tu knew that the weakest of the four God Kings really did not want to be enemies with Zhao Ji.

In this situation, as long as you promise him that the previous conflicts and contradictions were misunderstandings, he can easily distance himself from the matter and not get involved.

And if you give him some benefits, it will be easier to bring him into your camp.

As for the white-robed man, he used his secret to bind him to his own chariot.

After Bai Yi chose to "reincarnate and start anew," he was already on the opposite side from the other three great god-kings.

Because he not only betrayed his own faction, but also... he gave the other three God-Kings an opportunity to improve themselves—as long as they swallowed his territory, the other God-Kings' strength would advance even further.

Therefore, after Qiu Tu learned of his secret, he could only stand on his own side.

Thinking this through, Qiu Tu, having reviewed all his plans, felt a surge of determination.

Previously, it was him and Zhao Ji who faced off against the Four Great God Kings.

Now it's him and Zhao Ji, along with the two great god-kings, facing off against the other two great god-kings.

While Qiu Tu was quietly making his plans, the balance of victory had already begun to shift.

'I really can't wait to see the expressions of the Eastern God King and the Western God King then...'

After a moment of silent malice, Qiu Tu stubbed out his cigarette, then turned and walked into the house...

...

Three more days passed quickly.

A lot has happened in these three days.

The biggest event was that the rankings in the "Trial of the Gods" had changed dramatically once again.

Having refined all the regions, Qiu Tu successfully advanced to the peak of the eighth rank. His ranking finally officially entered the top three, surpassing Shao Hua and becoming second only to Zhao Ji!

The second major event was Qinglan's sudden rise to prominence. Because of her extraordinary talent, she was able to refine the "Boundless Heart Sea Region" at an incredibly fast speed.

In just a few days, she advanced to the late stage of the eighth rank. And she is still progressing rapidly.

Even more outrageous is that she might actually have the talent of Zhao Ji (90 points), as she actually advanced to the top ten of the "Trial of the Gods" with the strength of the late eighth rank.

Based on her speed, she will most likely be able to advance to the top 5 by the end of the "Trial of the Gods".

Her rapid promotion attracted a lot of attention, and of course... it made the already tense atmosphere, which was about to become even more intense.

Chapter 695 Apocalypse: White Robes Might Become a God (Monthly Ticket Draw)

How many spots will be available for this "Trial of the Gods"?

Southwest region, Shelter No. 4, a magnificent room.

Tianqi sat in the main seat, while Baiyi, Jinni, Motian, and other high-ranking members of the "Mist Hidden Society" sat below him.

Clearly, after the "isolated mountain range" was opened, the high-ranking members of the "Mist Hidden Society" also gathered together.

However, compared to their confidence before the "Trial of the Gods," their faces were noticeably more grim than ever today.

The reason is simple... The Trial of the Gods is almost over, and Apocalypse's ranking has not only not improved, but has even slightly decreased.

The current rankings for the entire "Trial of the Gods" are: Zhao Ji first, Qiu Tu second, Shao Hua third, Doris fourth, and Tian Qi fifth.

Such an outcome could not possibly satisfy Apocalypse, nor could it satisfy the members of the "Hidden Mist Society".

More importantly... not long ago, in order to gain the trust of Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji, Tianqi sided with them.

As a result, Qiu Tu turned the tables on Tianqi – just yesterday, Qiu Tu demanded that Tianqi give up his ranking and merge himself into Zhaoji's ranks, citing "guaranteeing Zhaoji's" ranking.

At first glance, this condition seems to have no problem. But upon closer inspection, something seems amiss.

Zhao Ji is currently ranked first in the "Trial of the Gods," and because of her amazing combat power, she is likely to be in a commanding lead.

And the second-place finisher is Qiu Tu, one of their own. How could Tianqi possibly need to give up his ranking?

However, now that Qiu Tu has spoken, he has indeed been put on hold.

That's why he convened this internal meeting of the "Hidden Mist Society" today: he wanted to gather ideas from all sides and figure out with his subordinates how many spots were available for this "Trial of the Gods" before making a decision.

If there are only 1-3 spots, it would be difficult for him to surpass Shaohua with his strength, so he will most likely give up and give Zhaoji and Qiutu a chance.

However, if there are five spots available, then he really needs to carefully consider whether or not to continue this charade in the face of becoming a god.

After all, while the favor of Lady Zhao was indeed important, the allure of the gods was not to be underestimated.

If I had known, this would have been a bottleneck in his cultivation level for hundreds of years.

At this moment, after listening to Tianqi's words, Jin Ni, the vice president who had previously held Qiu Tu hostage, stroked his chin before speaking in a hoarse, rough voice, "Normally, there is only one winner in the 'Trial of the Gods.' I remember that it was the same in several Trials of the Gods hundreds of years ago."

"After all, 'Celestials' are the most powerful and revered beings in this world. Furthermore, each 'Celestial' controls a branch of the path, which naturally limits their number."

"Therefore, I tend to think that this year's 'Trial of the Gods' will only offer one spot."

Upon hearing his words, before the other vice presidents could speak, the man in white shook his head and said, "It's impossible for there to be only one."

Upon hearing that the man in white had a different opinion, Tianqi couldn't help but look over.

The expression on the white-clad man's face remained incredibly gentle, showing no sign of aggression.

He said calmly, "Most of what Jin Ni said is correct, but I need to point out one thing: our world hasn't held a 'Trial of the Gods' for hundreds of years, and the world's origin may very well offer compensation."

"I feel it's unlikely that they'll only give one; they'll probably give many, maybe even more than ten."

Upon hearing the white-robed man's guess, Tianqi was taken aback, his brows furrowing.

Clearly, he felt that the white-robed man's guess was too exaggerated, sounding as if it were impossible at all.

He wasn't the only one who could tell that, so before he could even voice his doubts, Jin Ni suddenly blurted out, "More than ten?"

"White-robed, do you think 'Gods' are like cabbages sold wholesale? Hahaha."

Jin Ni laughed twice, then joked, "White Robe, why didn't you say you'd give 50? Give one to every participating deity, and reserve a few for our family."

Upon hearing Jin Ni's words, the other vice presidents couldn't help but laugh as well.

Despite the ridicule from the crowd, Bai Yi remained unperturbed, his smile still gentle. "My speculation may indeed be too exaggerated."

"Then I'll halve it. I think even if there aren't 10, there should be at least 5, right?"

Upon hearing Bai Yi's change of heart, the vice presidents hesitated for a moment before shaking their heads slightly.
