"Although the term 'politics' was invented by humankind, it does not mean that it is limited to humankind."
"Now, apart from the second shelter, I have consolidated human power."
"I originally thought this path would be a dead end."
"But... this 'Trial of the Gods' gave me some ideas."
"My power is not necessarily limited to humans. I can bring all races, such as evil gods, tree spirits, and winged races, under my command."
"Although I have become the supreme ruler of a power, I can rule over more territory and more living beings."
"That's why I want to unify the three great divine kingdoms and then see if I can go any further."
At this point, Qiu Tu paused for a moment, then continued, "We can say that we achieved a resounding victory in this 'Trial of the Gods'."
"Most of the six new gods belong to our camp."
"But the closer we get to this point, the more cautious we must be."
"So, Zhao Ji, Qing Lan, and I discussed it and decided that Zhao Ji and Qing Lan would advance to the Heavenly God realm first, while I would stay behind to oversee things."
"After they are promoted to gods, it will be my turn to be promoted."
"So let's make a big splash during this time!"
Qiu Tu's eyes were sharp, filled with boundless ambition. "The era of the God King has ended. The next era belongs to us!"
Hearing Qiu Tu's encouragement, the women all smiled.
Seeing this, Manhuang couldn't help but turn his head to look at Shuxia.
Shu Xia had clearly been successfully brainwashed, so when he heard Qiu Tu's empty promises, his eyes were filled with excitement and anticipation. He looked as if he would give his life for Qiu Tu.
Seeing this, Emperor Man withdrew his gaze and sighed softly in his heart...
To be honest, if the Emperor of the Vine had seen Shu Xia like this before the God King fell, he would have definitely taken the opportunity to run away with Shu Xia as far as possible.
But now... it seems the entire "Boundless Heart Sea" is truly about to fall into Qiu Tu's hands.
In this situation, Manhuang truly didn't know whether Shuxia's condition was good or bad...
'Our era...?'
'Perhaps... completely submitting to Qiu Tu is the truly appropriate way to adapt to this era?'
Thinking this, Emperor Man couldn't help but lose himself in thought...
.....
After seeing off several trusted confidants and instructing them to proceed with their plans to conquer the three major kingdoms of the East, West, and North, Qiu Tu returned to his office and walked to the window.
As Qiu Tu felt the power of the "Celestial God Status" slowly being released within his body, his gaze became somewhat profound.
He did not lie to his confidants; he, Zhao Ji, and Qing Lan did indeed decide to take turns advancing to the celestial realm.
However... the reason is not so simple.
The reason Qiu Tu was sent to hold the line first was because he had not yet merged with the Second Shelter and unified the human faction, which meant that his peak eighth rank was not yet complete.
The more important reason is the information revealed by this "Trial of the Gods".
Just as Qiu Tu analyzed some time ago: the number of gods is flexible.
If a god-king were to unify the entire path and completely possess it, then the "Trial of the Gods" would never be held again.
Conversely, when there are many more slots for the "Trial of the Gods" than before, it also means that the number of gods with the "path" is far from enough.
Therefore, the "Origin of the World" conferred titles on a large scale to replenish itself and stimulate the birth of "God Kings," or to allow "God Kings" to devour more gods.
However, it should be noted that hundreds of years ago, during the "Cataclysm of the Gods," Zhao Ji believed that the "Battle of the Gods" had already entered its middle and later stages.
As a result, after several hundred years, the number of gods actually began to be insufficient?
This doesn't seem like... a good omen.
'Could something have happened to the "Battlefield of the Gods"?'
Thinking this, Qiu Tu unconsciously clenched his fists behind his back, his gaze becoming incredibly deep...
.......
Meanwhile, just as Qiu Tu began to establish his three great divine kingdoms...
In the western land, in the Mandala Desert, lies an underground temple.
Tianqi clutched his head, his face contorted in rage as he rolled around on the ground.
He screamed in agony as he yelled and cursed wildly, "You beast! You actually tried to devour your own brother!"
"You madman! I will never forgive you, not even for the rest of my life!"
Perhaps because of the intense pain, he clutched his head and frantically slammed it against the temple floor tiles!
One! Two! Three!
The head of the eighth-tier peak Great Evil God smashed the temple floor tiles to pieces, but his head was also covered in blood, making it look extremely horrifying.
After crashing into things dozens of times, Apocalypse's movements finally slowed down.
After a moment, his body twitched a few times, and his movements suddenly stopped.
A few more seconds passed, and "Apocalypse" slowly straightened up. His smile became more sinister, and coupled with the blood all over his face, he looked extremely terrifying.
With a wave of his hand, he took out a handkerchief, wiped the blood from his forehead, and then spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm.
Throwing the blood-stained handkerchief to the ground, "Apocalypse" slowly said, "An accessory must have the awareness of an accessory."
"It is such an honor to be a part of me. How could you curse me like that? You are so ungrateful."
"However... it wasn't all for nothing that we trained him for so many years."
"An eighth-tier peak deity from the same origin is truly a great tonic. It saved me hundreds of years of time."
Clearly, just moments ago, the leader of the "Hidden Mist Society," a peak eighth-tier Great Evil God, was devoured. And now, the one controlling this body is the "Western God King" who devoured him...
After finishing his verses, the Western God King looked up at the top of the temple, his eyes flashing, "Now the three great God Kings have fallen."
"Almost all the newly promoted gods are related to Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji. It can be said that Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji now hold absolute power in the 'Boundless Heart Sea.'"
Even if I break free from the shackles of the God-King, I still cannot gain a foothold in the "Boundless Sea of the Heart."
"Therefore, the only way to break this deadlock is... to introduce an external enemy."
As he muttered this, the Western God King's eyes flashed with a dangerous light.
"The Battlefield of the Gods... Hehehe..."
.....
The impact of the "Trial of the Gods" was immense, even surpassing the fall of the three great god-kings.
After all, this was the first time in hundreds of years that a god had been born.
This not only signifies a major change in the power isolation of the "Boundless Heart Sea," but also indicates that the path to advancement from the peak of the eighth rank has been completely opened.
The only pity is that most of the six newly promoted quasi-gods are associated with Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji's faction.
This also made it almost impossible for them to have any desire to resist.
Therefore, while Zhao Ji, Qing Lan, Doris, Shao Hua, and Bai Yi were ascending to the celestial gods, Qiu Tu's plan to subdue the three great divine kingdoms also progressed extremely smoothly.
.....
The Western Kingdom, the Second Sanctuary.
Zhiyan, the Heavenly King's villa. Li Feng was sitting opposite her mother.
"Mom, I'm here on Qiu Tu's orders to negotiate with you."
"Qiu Tu hopes that the Second Sanctuary can be incorporated into the Human Alliance, and he hopes that you can help us control the 'Mist Shadow Society' and the 'Western Kingdom'."
"Now that the Western God King who rode on our heads is dead, the entire Western Kingdom is leaderless, which is our opportunity."
Upon hearing Li Feng's last words, Heavenly King Zhiyan's gaze became somewhat complicated.
She looked at Li Feng, opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but then hesitated and stopped.

Perhaps noticing her mother's strange gaze, Li Feng frowned slightly.
Then she looked at her mother and asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"
Upon hearing Li Feng's words, Zhi Yan realized that she had lost her composure, so she quickly composed herself, shook her head, and said, "It's nothing. I was just thinking about something else."
Compared to her mother, Li Feng was clearly more naive and idealistic.
This can be seen from the fact that in so many of her choices, she has always prioritized the interests of the human camp, even at the cost of falling out with her own mother.
Qiu Tu, as the Supreme Speaker of the Human Alliance and the strongest member of the human camp, has now joined forces with Zhao Ji to defeat the rule of the Four Great God Kings in the "Boundless Heart Sea." In Li Feng's mind, this has almost been deified.
Therefore, she is now focusing all her attention on assisting Qiu Tu and expanding the strength of the human camp.
This resulted in Li Feng seemingly noticing her mother's unusual behavior, but she remained indifferent.
With a strong sense of career ambition, she continued to explain Qiu Tu's plans and her own ideas to her mother.
"Mom, I think this really is an opportunity for us humans."
"If we can unify the three great divine kingdoms, then humanity will have truly established itself in the entire 'Boundless Sea of the Heart.'"
"Based on the lifespan of the gods, Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji can protect us humans for at least a thousand years."
"During this period, we humans will definitely be able to give birth to several, or even a dozen, peak eighth-order gods."
"If we're lucky, one or two more gods will emerge. Then the future of humanity will be completely bright."
Hearing Li Feng repeatedly refer to "us humans," Heavenly King Zhiyan rubbed her temples, feeling a bit of a headache, unsure of how to respond.
Her thoughts drifted back to the question Qiu Tu had asked her on the rooftop that night: "Your Majesty, I don't think I've ever heard General Li Feng mention his father."
Her answer at the time was: Li Feng's father had passed away long ago. (Chapter 665)
She actually lied at the time, but she never expected that the lie would actually come true...
That's right, Li Feng's father is none other than the recently fallen "Western God King," whom Li Feng is currently beaming with excitement, practically ready to pop open champagne in celebration...
Thinking about this, Zhiyan couldn't help but recall her ill-fated relationship with the Western God King.
Actually, the reason she had a past relationship with "West God King" was a choice made by both parties.
Back then, Tianqi, relying on being the younger brother of the "Western God King," expanded wildly in the "Western Kingdom," and no one could stop him.
For reasons unknown, the "Western God King" deliberately allowed Tianqi to grow powerful.
This also led to the fact that after Tianqi's "Mist Hidden Society" devoured several worlds and acquired a large number of talents and territories, it gradually became a true behemoth in the "Western Kingdom".
It was only at this moment that the Western God King seemed to suddenly wake up and realize that things could not continue like this.
But at that time, the "Hidden Mist Society" was already working to devour the human world. They had even established a proxy force within the human camp, namely—the Second Sanctuary.
Based on the methods used by the "Hidden Mist Society" in the past, it is believed that it will not be long before the human world is once again under the control of the "Hidden Mist Society".
So... the Western God King went on a "surprise visit" and came to the Second Sanctuary, thinking of thwarting Apocalypse's plan.
Just then, the Second Shelter, with the support of the "Mist Shadow Society," began to grow in power and then tried to break free from the control of the "Mist Shadow Society."
Given the power of the "Hidden Mist Society" in the "Western Kingdom," the only way to break free is to submit to the "Western God King."
As a high-ranking member of the Second Shelter, Zhiyan was mainly responsible for this aspect.
And so... naturally, the two got in touch.
Because both parties shared the same goal, they quickly reached an agreement, and their interactions and contacts gradually increased.
Children of the apocalypse are inherently driven by emotions. And when it comes to the survival of their race, beauty is the cheapest resource.
Furthermore, the Western God King also needed "his own people" among the humans. So, after a while, Heavenly King Zhiyan and the Western God King ended up sleeping together.
Normally, the higher the level of the cataclysmic beings, the more difficult it is for them to give birth to life; this is determined by the "world rules".
