After doing all this, Yaoqin slowly stood up, and then in a flash, left the secret room.
As she flew into the air, she looked back at this beautiful world one last time.
Such a world, isolated from the "Battlefield of the Gods," with abundant resources, and capable of hosting the "Trials of the Gods," is truly precious.
If she can truly get a share of the pie, given time, she might actually be able to reach the threshold of becoming a high-level god-king.
This was incredibly important for a god-king like her, who had no background or organization...
Thinking this, Yaoqin couldn't help but come back to her senses, and she looked in the direction of the White Bird Beach.
'And all of this hinges on reaching a cooperation agreement with Qiu Tu. And ideally, taking the initiative.'
'If I'm not mistaken, Qiu Tu is stalling for time to create an opportunity for Zhao Ji to advance.'
'Although I don't understand why he's so confident that Zeki, who just ascended to godhood, would be my opponent.'
'But to avoid any unforeseen complications, we should return as soon as possible and pressure Qiu Tu to offer more benefits.'
Thinking this, Yaoqin slightly gathered the power of cataclysm on her body, and then shot towards the White Bird Beach like an arrow released from a bow...
......
Meanwhile, at the White Bird Mudflats.
Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji were sitting on the beach, waiting for Yao Qin to return while chatting about what had happened in the past two days.
Perhaps because she wasn't in combat mode, although Zehime's face remained expressionless, it was no longer cold and stern.
She sat on the beach, her deep, cold eyes gazing at the boundless sea before her, watching quietly.
Qiu Tu tilted his head and glanced at her, thinking she was as beautiful as a landscape.
"Sister Zhaoji, according to your estimate, shouldn't it take at least 7-10 days to advance?"
"How come he's already advanced in just 6 days?"
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji glanced at him indifferently and then uttered three words, "Puppet Worm".
"Puppet worm?" Qiu Tu was taken aback and blinked.
His mind raced.
After a moment, a look of realization crossed his face, and he said, "You mean... you filled up your 'Cataclysmic Pathway' ahead of time by killing the puppet worms?"
Zhao Ji nodded slightly. Sitting next to Qiu Tu, she quietly gazed at the sea before her, and then said,
"My 'cataclysmic path' is special. It's the purest form of 'destruction.'"
"Therefore, as long as it is within my domain, whether it is killing, destruction, fans, or even fighting, it can enhance my cataclysmic pathway."
"Therefore, in order to advance quickly, I had Tang Feifei and Guan Xiao launch a cleanup operation against the 'Puppet Insects' while I was in seclusion."
At this point, Zhao Ji paused for a moment before continuing,
"Tang Feifei and Guan Xiao are indeed quite capable."
"In just six days, the 'puppet worms' in the peripheral areas were either killed, captured, or controlled; almost all of them were wiped out."
"This saved me a lot of time."
Upon hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu's mouth gaped open, almost unable to close.
The "Catastrophe Path" has no branches? It's directly the main path? So, any event within the "Destruction Path" can help her advance?
In that instant, Qiu Tu really wanted to call the police: This guy is fucking cheating!
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but recall Zhao Ji's several leaps in strength.
Don't say that... it seems like these all happened after major wars or large-scale military operations.
Thinking about this, Qiu Tu suddenly understood why Zhao Ji's impression of him had gradually changed, and why she had even silently formed an alliance with him and supported his actions!
If there were someone who could improve his strength simply by staying by her side, Qiu Tu would be willing to stay with her 24 hours a day!
Indeed, there is never love without a reason, nor is there hatred without a reason.
Before feelings develop, everyone is driven by self-interest.
Thinking this way, Qiu Tu suddenly felt that many things he had never understood before had become clear.
However, all of that is in the past, and we must look forward.
Thinking this, Qiu Tu looked at Zhao Ji and asked, "Sister Zhao Ji, although you have advanced, you are still only a mid-level Celestial God."
"Yaoqin is a God-King. Are you really confident you can defeat her?"
Zhao Ji glanced at Qiu Tu indifferently, and then said, "We're going to fight the God King."
"You might not know this, but back when I was traveling in the 'Battlefield of the Gods,' I mostly fought against God-Kings."
“Ordinary peak-level celestial beings can’t even withstand a single move from me.”
"God King is just a realm. It does not represent the level of strength."
"Only by truly fighting can we know who is weak and who is strong."
It has to be said that the queen of pretentiousness is indeed the queen of pretentiousness. In just a few words, she brought Qiu Tu back to the era when she was still a "legendary god".
However, Qiu Tu's focus was clearly not on that.
After hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu's mind raced, as if he had thought of something.
After a moment, he asked, "By the way, Sister Zhaoji, when you traveled through the 'Battlefield of the Gods,' did you have any close friends or join any organizations?"
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji was first taken aback, and then became somewhat lost in thought.
The image of the person who told her that the "path of life" was the wrong path involuntarily appeared before her eyes...
She hesitated for a moment, then said, "I guess I know someone who does."
"But... all I know is that she's a God-King of the 'Chaotic Path.' She's very powerful. But I don't know her exact level or which faction she belongs to."
Upon hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu blinked.
A chaotic path...and very powerful?
He tentatively asked, "Very strong? Are you stronger than Sister Zhaoji?"
Zhao Ji glanced at him and said, "Back then, I was a peak-level Celestial God. Not a peak-level God-King."
"Although I've never fought her, my gut tells me I have no chance of winning."
"Moreover, we didn't get to know each other because of our strength, but because of other things."
Qiu Tu wasn't concerned about the two women's private affairs; his focus remained on his friend Zhao Ji's strength. He hesitated for a moment, then speculated, "You don't stand a chance, so... she's most likely a high-level God-King?"
Zehime turned her gaze to the sea and said nonchalantly, "More or less."
After saying that, as if she had thought of something, she casually opened a dimensional space, took out a "crystal die" from it, and then casually tossed it to Qiu Tu. "By the way, this is what she gave me back then. She said it was a token, so that she would recognize me after I reincarnate and start cultivating again."
“Before I was reincarnated and started cultivating again, I put it in a treasure vault. I recently took it out.”
Qiu Tu reached out and caught the die. Then, curiously, he lowered his head to examine it.
Just then, Zhao Ji suddenly let out a soft "Hmm?" Then, she casually picked up the longsword beside her and said, "Yaoqin is back."
Upon hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu was stunned for a moment. He didn't even have time to examine the dice in his hand before getting up with Zhao Ji.
After standing there quietly for two seconds, Qiu Tu's "Order Space" finally sensed Yao Qin rushing towards him.
Qiu Tu glanced at Zhao Ji beside him in surprise.
Although he knew that Zhao Ji was strong, and stronger than himself, he never expected her to be so much stronger.
It's important to understand that two seconds is a considerable distance for a god-king. This means that Zhao Ji's "reconnaissance" radius is significantly greater than Qiu Tu's.
And so, another six seconds passed.
With a whooshing sound, Yaoqin finally arrived in front of the two.
Suspended in mid-air, Yaoqin frowned slightly as she looked down at the man and woman. She inexplicably felt a slight heaviness on her head, as if she were being covered by a hat...
She was alone when she went out, so how did she come back as two?
That feeling is so similar to... her going out to work, coming home to find her husband and his mistress in bed together, feeling incredibly cuckolded...

Perhaps because of this psychological advantage of being the "official wife," Yaoqin even felt that her aura had become much stronger.
She pressed her hand down, and suddenly a long whip appeared in her hand.
She stood in mid-air, looking down at Qiu Tu, pointing her long whip at Zhao Ji, and said with a grim expression, "Who is she? Why is she here?"
Before Qiu Tu could react to Yaoqin's words, Zhao Ji's sensitive expression shifted slightly.
With her keen insight, she almost instantly noticed the somewhat ambiguous relationship between Qiu Tu and Yao Qin.
She glanced at Qiu Tu with a half-smile, then said, "It seems you've really been feeling wronged these past few days."
Qiu Tu: ....
Was that boomerang really that short? It hit me in just over half an hour.
But who is Qiu Tu? He's incredibly shameless.
So he leaned close to Zhao Ji, put his hand to his mouth, and whispered to her, "It's all just work, just playing along."
"After all... I was playing the role of her husband."
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's explanation, Zhao Ji snorted coldly, but said nothing.
Qiu Tu breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
After comforting Zhao Ji, he looked up at Yao Qin and then said, "Your Majesty Yao Qin, hello. I am Qiu Tu, and this lady beside me is Zhao Ji."
"We've come here to discuss something with you."
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Yaoqin in the air frowned slightly.
She understood what Qiu Tu meant: the person who had negotiated with her before was "Tang Lang," and the person who gave her hints and plans was also "Tang Lang."
Although both she and Qiu Tu knew perfectly well that "Tang Lang" was Qiu Tu in disguise, it was still... not legitimate.
Therefore, if the two really want to cooperate, they must discuss it formally in an official capacity.
Of course... that's the optimistic view. If we look at the worst-case scenario, then... Qiu Tu might very well change his identity and then completely abandon his former self!
Thinking this, Yaoqin narrowed her eyes, her gaze turning to Qiu Tu with a hint of danger.
Although he had already learned from the evil gods of the Northern Kingdom that Qiu Tu was a man of his word.
But... centuries of experience have also taught Yaoqin:
All living things are fickle. Being honest in the past does not guarantee that you will always be honest.
Many people make mistakes because they blindly trust "experience" and "history".
So, after a moment of contemplation, she chose to verify it herself.
Her method of verification was simple: she used her mental power to check the repair status of the "world passage".
If the "world passage" is intact, it proves that Qiu Tu is very sincere in this negotiation.
If the "world passage" is damaged, it would prove that Qiu Tu was not very sincere about this negotiation.
After all... the global transportation network is a key element of the cooperation between the two sides.
In a normal and fair negotiation, such a critical point should not be moved prematurely before an agreement is reached.
Thinking this, Yaoqin also tried to twist her mental energy into a rope, bypass the two of them, and extend it towards the seabed below.
Zhao Ji clearly sensed Yao Qin's subtle movements.
She instinctively wanted to draw her sword and sever that wisp of spiritual power.
However, just as she was about to raise her hand, she paused slightly, then looked at Qiu Tu as if she had thought of something.
Qiu Tu clearly felt Zhao Ji's gaze.
