Then let them offer their loyalty!

Then, his perspective rose higher and higher, and he seemed to see the living beings working at sunrise and resting at sunset, and he saw their lives and activity patterns.

While some creatures in the world are special and do not follow the basic rules of society, when viewed from a macro perspective, they are just insignificant episodes.

The whole world is like a torrent of countless rules, and all living beings live in a regular manner according to those rules.

This... is order.

It was through this perspective that Qiu Tu roughly understood his next path—to devour or subdue other gods of the "Order Path," to truly expand his own "Cataclysmic Path," and then ascend to become a "God King."

To put it bluntly, although he can now perceive those rules, he is not yet able to use or engage with them.

Only after he absorbs the rules of the gods of the same path can he truly expand his "catastrophe path".

After reviewing the gains and losses of this advancement, Qiu Tu slowly opened his eyes.

His expression was somewhat thoughtful, because he had remembered something.

In fact, before giving Qinglan, Shaohua, and Doris to Yaoqin and allowing Yaoqin to advance to the second level of Heavenly God, Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji had a conversation.

During the conversation, Qiu Tu asked Zhao Ji whether she wanted to forgo using the three women as bargaining chips. Instead, she suggested waiting until Zhao Ji advanced to the God-King level and then having the three women pledge their allegiance to her, helping her increase her strength.

However, she was rejected by Zhao Ji.

At the time, Zhao Ji did not explain the specific reason, but now Qiu Tu has some guesses.

Only by devouring gods of the same "path" can one expand their "catastrophic path."

'So... if the gods consumed aren't from the same "path," although it can raise one's realm, it can't expand one's "Cataclysmic Path"? It's essentially... just a facade?'

Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but recall all the information about gods and god-kings.

After a moment, he shook his head slightly, denying his own guess.

'This shouldn't be just for show. If it only had the level of attainment but no real strength, so many people wouldn't choose this path.'

That is.....

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu's face showed a hint of realization, "The other way around?"

"Having strength but lacking 'realm'?"

"In other words... although absorbing the three major pathways of 'Life,' 'Mysticism,' and 'Immortality' can still increase strength and allow for advancement,... the 'authority' within one's own 'Cataclysmic Path' will not be improved."

"To put it bluntly... it's a tactic that is only used when one knows they have no future, or when they encounter a major crisis that urgently needs to be overcome."

"As long as one still aspires to become a high-ranking god-king, or even the supreme position, then one will not choose this path..."

Thinking about it, Qiu Tu suddenly understood why Zhao Ji, who was so strong hundreds of years ago, still couldn't quickly advance to the God King level.

Ultimately, it was because she was thinking about the future, so she adopted a "better to have nothing than something bad" attitude and did not absorb gods from other sources.

'However, in that case... I can't miss the great battle at the "Battlefield of the Gods."'

Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but raise his head, his eyes slightly narrowed.

Before advancing to the peak of the Celestial God, Qiu Tu had considered many ways to level up quickly. The simplest way was to take Yaoqin, who had been promoted to the second-level God King, to the "Celestial God Battlefield" and randomly catch people.

No matter which path the deity takes, it is absorbed directly.

According to his estimate, given the number of "gods" in the "God Battlefield," he estimated that he could advance to the God King level in less than ten days to half a month.

However... now that he discovered that there were side effects after the non-original "catastrophic path" was devoured, Qiu Tu immediately gave up the idea.

Fortunately, he had deliberately provoked a conflict between the two major factions, the "Chaos Faction" and the "Temple of Order."

Wherever there is fighting, there will be casualties.

At that time, Qiu Tu could take advantage of the chaos and try to devour or subdue some of the Gods of Order.

For Qiu Tu, this was entirely an unexpected stroke of luck; every action and every outcome is preordained.

In addition... several of Qiu Tu's confidants have already reached the peak of the seventh or eighth rank.

They were not far from the gods.

As for when the "Boundless Heart Sea" will hold the "Trial of the Gods" again, it's still unknown.

Therefore... the only way to make them become gods is to seize the godhood from other "gods" of the same path.

This would be very difficult to do in peacetime. And it's very likely that if you beat up the younger one, you'll offend the older one.

But in a major war, everything is different.

Every day, many gods will surely die or be injured, so... no one will notice if a few more die.

With that thought in mind, Qiu Tu no longer hesitated. He stopped trying to comprehend his new realm and got up to walk towards the door.

Outside the door, Tang Feifei, Yu Die, and Guan Xiao were discussing the future developments of "Boundless Heart Sea".

King Zhiyan and Li Feng had arrived at some point and were discussing things with the three women.

However, although they were discussing serious matters, their beautiful eyes were clearly glancing repeatedly at the doorway to Qiu Tu's room.

Clearly, Qiu Tu's promotion is on their minds.

So when Qiu Tu was promoted and went outside, the women immediately stopped talking and looked at him.

Among the women, the one with the highest status was Tang Feifei, who invested in Qiu Tu early on using her own resources and family connections to provide "start-up resources."

But she was aloof and didn't like to take the initiative, so Yudie was the first to speak.

Yu Die's beautiful eyes sparkled as she looked at Qiu Tu with tenderness and affection. She asked, "How did it go? Did you succeed?"

Hearing Yu Die's question, Qiu Tu smiled and nodded, then said, "I'm already a peak Celestial God."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the women present, despite all holding high positions, showed a hint of excitement in their eyes.

Although the "human faction" has been developing smoothly over the years, everyone knows that this is all thanks to Zhao Ji's influence.

Ask any mid-to-high-level player in "Boundless Heart Sea," and you'll find that Qiu Tu and the "Human Faction" developed by clinging to Zhao Ji's coattails.

Although Zhao Ji has been kind to the "human camp" all these years because of Qiu Tu, the higher-ups of the "human camp" are very grateful to Zhao Ji.

But... everyone knows this won't last long.

Moreover... if we can be self-sufficient and rely on ourselves, who would want to depend on others?

Especially as the "human camp" gains an increasingly higher status in the "Boundless Heart Sea," and even now dominates the entire "Boundless Heart Sea," there is even greater expectation that humanity can subdue the entire world on its own.

This has made all the high-ranking members of the "human camp" eagerly await Qiu Tu's promotion today.

Now, Qiu Tu has finally succeeded in advancing to the peak of the Celestial God realm, officially surpassing Zhao Ji and becoming the number one person in the "Boundless Heart Sea" realm.

Moreover, Qiu Tu, like the other gods, was a "junior god," so there was no significant difference between them.

None of them had fought before, so no one knew who would win or lose.

Now that Qiu Tu has surged ahead, the "human camp" can finally hold their heads high.

With Yu Die taking the lead, the other girls also chatted with Qiu Tu for a few minutes, both to show their concern and to congratulate him.

However, everyone is currently in high positions and extremely busy with official duties. So after the conversation, they didn't bother Qiu Tu any further and chose to leave.

Soon, only Zhiyan Tianwang remained at the scene.

Watching his daughter Li Feng leave, Heavenly King Zhiyan glanced at Qiu Tu with a somewhat complicated expression, and then said, "You really don't lack women around you."

"With so many women, you'd better be careful not to let them down."

Hearing Zhiyan's words, Qiu Tu smiled and said, "How could I possibly let her down?"

"I genuinely like them..."

"And they genuinely like me."

"If you like each other, shouldn't you be together?"

Zhiyan Tianwang: ? ?

To be honest, although I knew Qiu Tu was eloquent, this logic really surprised King Zhiyan.

The problem is... this logic seems to make a lot of sense.

If you like each other, you should be together... It's just that Qiu Tu has a lot of people who like each other.

But... this is just too shameless.

Thinking this, Heavenly King Zhiyan glanced at Qiu Tu and said, "What you said makes a lot of sense. But don't say it again next time."

After saying that, Zhiyan paused for a moment, then asked, almost as if possessed, "Qiu Tu...aren't you guilty of having so many relationships at the same time?"

"Don't you think this is quite different from our traditional values?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu gave Zhiyan a strange look and then asked, "Why would you feel guilty?"

"I have a low sense of morality, so I don't care about these things at all. That's why I'm usually very happy."

After saying that, Qiu Tu looked at Zhiyan and then added, "And... what exactly are traditional values...?"

“Zhiyan, your values ​​are not traditional enough.”

"If we're really talking about tradition, isn't mine more traditional?"

Zhiyan: ....

Zhiyan was convinced.

At this moment, seeing that Zhiyan had given in, Qiu Tu walked over to her side and then skillfully slipped his hand under the hem of Zhiyan's clothes on the back.

For a moment, Heavenly King Zhiyan was startled. She quickly reached out and grabbed Qiu Tu's hand, then looked around before saying rapidly, "What are you doing? This is the council chamber."

Before she could finish speaking, she felt Qiu Tu's warm hand resting on her slender waist.

That familiar touch sent a shiver down Zhiyan's spine, and it also reminded her of the scenes of cooking with Qiu Tu in various places over the past few days.

For a moment, her breathing became unsteady.

But reason still made her look up, her eyes pleading as she looked at Qiu Tu, "Qiu Tu... Li Feng might come back at any time."

Upon hearing what Zhiyan Tianwang said, Qiu Tu leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Wouldn't that be even more exciting?"

After saying that, Qiu Tu picked up Heavenly King Zhiyan in his arms and turned to go back to the lounge...

The Emotional Handbook [108 Ways to Enhance Relationships] #107: Love requires physical contact.

In fact, many conflicts between boyfriends and girlfriends, romantic partners, and spouses can be resolved through intimate contact. Furthermore, "family status" is often measured through intimate contact.

Of course, this kind of intimate contact doesn't just refer to "love"; things like hugging and kissing all fall into this category.

A woman's emotions and body are mutually convertible. Emotional connection is necessary for physical intimacy; conversely, physical intimacy easily leads to the development of emotions.

...

And so it went on until evening. Only then did it all end.

Perhaps because Li Feng was also in Dongcheng City and might come looking for Qiu Tu at any time, Heavenly King Zhiyan did not dare to stay overnight. Instead, she quickly packed up and left the lounge.

After seeing her off, Qiu Tu also got busy with official duties.

The "Boundless Heart Sea United Government" has just been established and has many things to do.

Although Qiu Tu did not make personnel arrangements or change laws at this time in order to ensure a smooth transition and avoid turmoil, there are some preparations that need to be made in advance.

Besides the matter of the "United Government," the most important thing is the repair of the "World Corridor."

According to the data provided by Guan Xiao, the "World Passage" should be repaired in two more days, and Qiu Tu will be able to go to the "Battlefield of the Gods" to witness the great battle between the two factions that he initiated.

The only problem is that the prerequisite for repairing the "World Passage" is that either Zhao Ji or Yao Qin successfully advances to the next level.

Only with at least one God-King level expert present did Qiu Tu dare to venture into the "Battlefield of the Gods" to investigate.

And at that moment, just as he was thinking this.

Suddenly, a powerful aura emanated from the direction of the New Territories!

The level of that power was clearly very high; even though it was hundreds of kilometers away, it was still incredibly clear.

Upon sensing that power, Qiu Tu was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up and walked to the window to look in the direction of the New Territories.

Just then, another powerful force arrived.

This time it was much closer, right in Dongcheng City.

Sensing the second force, Qiu Tu's smile widened considerably.

Zhao Ji and Yao Qin have both advanced! They can finally go to the "Battlefield of the Gods," then ascend to the God King level and collect God rank!
