'But what exactly does the "Chaos Witch" intend to do, sending a fifth-tier God-King to observe Zhao Ji for hundreds of years?'

Did Old Bai have his own agenda in this?

Because there were too many clues, too many questions lingered in Qiu Tu's mind.

At that moment, just as Qiu Tu was thinking this...

Suddenly, a cacophony of shouts erupted in the distance: "Quick, provide backup! The fifth batch of celestials has retreated!" "Check for any wounded, check for any valuable loot!"

Hearing those shouts, the entire gathering point instantly erupted in excitement. Countless catastrophic creatures surged towards the location of the "World Passage" like a torrent.

Qiu Tu and his group couldn't help but turn around and see that a group of gods had appeared in the "world passage" they had just entered.

Their conditions varied: some dragged half-broken, blood-stained spears; some clutched their blood-stained clothes with white knuckles; some had bare white bones exposed at their knees; and others had lifeless, grayish-white pupils, as if they were about to die.

But what they all had in common was their powerful aura, stained with blood. Clearly, this was a celestial army that had just retreated from the battlefield.

War is always one of the easiest ways to accumulate wealth, and besides, such injuries are nothing to gods with their extremely strong recovery abilities; they can be healed with a period of rest. Therefore, those gods were all clearly very excited.

Upon seeing the other deities gather around, they excitedly pulled out some spoils of war, including high-quality "Boundless Divine Crystals," "Special Treasures," and some precious materials.

The gods who had gathered around started jeering and buying. The scene instantly descended into chaos.

Qiu Tu and his group lingered on the gods for a moment, until Zhao Ji coldly said, "Let's go," which brought them back to their senses.

Going against the flow of people, Qiu Tu followed Xiao Yuanyao deeper into the "Chaotic Western Capital".

Along the way, they saw a rusty bronze cauldron with three legs, kicking pedestrians on the street like a tap dancer;

The dirt road on the side of the street suddenly arched up, forming a gaping mouth that bit the leg of a passing deity;

The vast forest suddenly rose up, transforming into two long green snakes that coiled and chased each other playfully before disappearing into the distance.

Sometimes Qiu Tu couldn't even tell whether these things were catastrophic artifacts created by gods, unique landscapes of this world, or some strange catastrophic creatures...

It can be said that "Chaotic West Capital" is a miniature version of "Ancient World", which is extremely chaotic.

The only difference is that the weather in "Chaotic West Capital" doesn't seem to be as random as in "Ancient World," but rather remains constant, with day and night cycles.

This caught Qiu Tu's attention...

Xiao Yuanyao's residence was in the central area of ​​"Chaotic Western Capital", so the group traveled around and arrived there in the evening.

Since there were no other places to stay in the "Battlefield of the Gods", the group moved into Xiao Yuanyao's house, intending to use it as a temporary base before taking their own actions.

The individuals had different purposes.

Qiu Tu wanted to take advantage of the chaos in this battle between the two factions and see if he could gain some benefits and shorten the time it would take for him to advance to God King.

Zhao Ji came to gain experience and prepare for the God King; Yao Qin, Qing Lan, and Zhu Wu were all brought by Qiu Tu; as for Xiao Yuan Yao... she had no purpose whatsoever.

So, after settling into Xiao Yuanyao's house, the group split up: some gathered intelligence, others searched for the God of Destruction, and still others went on a "publicly funded trip"...

The group simply agreed to meet at Xiao Yuanyao's house every night or every few days to exchange information.

After leaving Xiao Yuanyao's home, Qiu Tu wandered around the central gathering place of "Chaotic Western Capital".

This place is similar to the previous gathering place; the creatures walking on the streets are all strange and unusual, and the buildings are pieced together from one another. If you didn't know better, you'd think this was a gathering place for some kind of game bug.

Qiu Tu walked for a while, admiring the night view of the "Chaotic Western Capital" central area, before finally reaching a quiet, dark alley and taking out the note.

He leaned against the wall, took out a cigarette, lit it, took a deep breath, and then reread the words on the note.

"Old Bai, I know you're watching me. Let's meet now."

As soon as Qiu Tu spoke, the entire alley fell silent. Time seemed to stand still at that moment, and the pedestrians walking outside the street stopped moving.

A moment later, a thin white mist began to rise from all directions, as if draping the world in a veil, making everything blurry.

Qiu Tu looked at the scene before him, casually took another drag of his cigarette, and when he looked up again, he found that the scene around him had changed.

He stood before a vast golden palace, and a girl who looked only eighteen or nineteen years old was looking at him with curious eyes.

The girl wore a well-tailored white sundress that accentuated her slender waist. Her skin had a pearly glow, and her almond-shaped eyes were clear and pure.

When she saw Qiu Tu looking at her, she smiled slightly, revealing shallow dimples and curved eyebrows, looking sweet and harmless.

"You must be His Majesty Qiu Tu? You are very handsome."

Looking at the girl whose voice was as clear as a mountain spring and listening to her voice as melodious as a lark, Qiu Tu was stunned for a moment before asking, "Who are you...?"

The girl smiled and said, "You can call me Jasmine. I am His Majesty Muxin's maid. I have come to greet you on His Majesty's orders."

To be honest, Qiu Tu hadn't seen such a pure and lovely girl in a long time. So he stubbed out his cigarette, nodded, and said, "Then please take me to see the God King Mu Xin."

“Okay~~” the girl replied, then smiled and led Qiu Tu inside.

Perhaps influenced by the girl's pure aura, Qiu Tu felt much more relaxed as he walked towards the palace.

His thoughts raced, and then he tentatively asked, "Jasmine, what kind of person is the Shepherd God King?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Jasmine, who was leading the way, thought for a moment and then said, "Your Majesty is a... very gentle and kind person."

"He always seemed calm and collected, as if he would never lose his temper."

“He was very good to us subordinates, never mistreating us. In fact, he would help us deal with any problems we encountered.”

Hearing Jasmine's praise, Qiu Tu smiled and then joked, "If you're worried about being overheard by the God King of Shepherd Heart, just wink at me twice."

"Hehehe." Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Jasmine chuckled a few times, then turned around and winked at Qiu Tu five or six times.

Her playful demeanor was just like that of a mountain sprite, free and unrestrained.

Qiu Tu gave her a deep look, then smiled back.

The two continued walking forward, and this time it was Jasmine who spoke first.

She turned around, put her hands behind her back, stood on tiptoe, tilted her head curiously to look at Qiu Tu, and then asked coquettishly, "Your Majesty Qiu Tu, has anyone ever complimented your looks?"

Qiu Tu shamelessly said, "Of course. They all say I can use this face to buy things."

Upon hearing this, Jasmine wrinkled her nose slightly and shook her head repeatedly, "Impossible, impossible. They must be lying to you."

Qiu Tu became curious. He asked, "Why?"

Jasmine smiled and said, "Because they simply can't make change. They can't just give you the whole shop, can they?"

Qiu Tu was startled upon hearing this.

Am I... being flirted with?

Goodness...

You can learn from this and use it to flirt with Zhao Ji when you get back.

As he thought this to himself, Qiu Tu looked at the girl Jasmine again.

Jasmine's lips curled slightly upwards, revealing shallow dimples like two clear springs, making her look incredibly pure and sweet.

But... Qiu Tu inexplicably felt that the girl in front of him seemed a little unusual.

Would such a pure girl say something so charming and emotionally intelligent?

This feeling is actually somewhat like...

'Little green tea?'

Qiu Tu was a little uncertain.

Just then, as Qiu Tu was thinking this, a familiar, gentle male voice suddenly rang in their ears, "Jasmine, don't be silly."

As soon as that voice rang out, Qiu Tu felt a sense of relief. It really was someone in white.

He looked up at the girl, Jasmine. Jasmine stuck out her tongue shyly at Qiu Tu, then shut her mouth, turned around, and spurred Qiu Tu to continue walking forward.

After walking for a minute, and turning a corner, Qiu Tu appeared in front of a grand hall.

Meanwhile, a white-robed man with long black hair, as handsome as a woman, was playing chess against himself.

Seeing this, Jasmine gave a slight bow to the man before saying, "Your Majesty, His Majesty Qiu Tu has arrived."

After speaking, Jasmine turned and smiled at Qiu Tu again before standing behind the man in the white robe.

Qiu Tu's gaze lingered on the chessboard in front of the man for a moment, his eyebrows slightly raised, before he spoke, "I didn't expect... the 'Chaos God King' would actually enjoy a game that represents 'order'."

Whether it's high-level Go or simple Gomoku, they are all collisions of rules, representing the embodiment of order.

Therefore, the stronger the "Deity of Order" is, the deeper their understanding of order, and theoretically, the deeper their chess skills.

On the contrary, the "Chaos Gods" naturally dislike this kind of rule-based game.

In the past two days, Qiu Tu conducted an experiment, bringing a very simple set of Gomoku to play with Xiao Yuanyao.

As a result, after only a couple of moves, Xiao Yuanyao wanted to pick up the chessboard and smash Qiu Tu's head.

Later on, whenever Qiu Tu took out the chessboard, Xiao Yuanyao would turn around and run away like a vampire seeing garlic.

This is the normal attitude of the "Chaotic God King" towards playing chess. Therefore, the white-robed man's current state is clearly abnormal.

As expected, upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the man in white smiled.

He looked up at Qiu Tu and said, "Who told you... I'm the God-King of the 'Chaotic Path'?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu narrowed his eyes slightly. He couldn't help but recall the "Path to Immortality" when Bai Yi was still Secretary Bai, and the "Path to Life" during Bai Yi's later years. A guess naturally formed in his mind.

He looked at the man in white, then tentatively asked, "Can your 'Cataclysmic Path' be switched?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Bai Yi smiled, neither confirming nor denying.

He gestured to the cushion opposite him. Qiu Tu strode over and sat down.

Seeing this, the smile in the white-robed man's eyes deepened. He reached out and picked up a white piece, then placed it on the board as he said, "You should remember that I told you we wouldn't be enemies, and neither will Zhao Ji and I, right?"

Qiu Tu picked up a black piece, nodded as he followed suit, and said, "I remember."

The man in white glanced at Qiu Tu and asked, "So now you know why?"

Qiu Tu did not deny it, "I had some suspicions in my mind long after you disappeared."

"Your target is indeed Zehime. But you neither want to help her nor want to hurt her."

"Instead... we are observing and protecting."

Upon hearing this, the man in white smiled and nodded, then shook his head and said, "You're half right."

“I was observing, but I wasn’t protecting.”

"If Zhao Ji encounters any accidents during her growth, I will not intervene. I will simply assume the mission is over."

This result was still a bit of a surprise to Qiu Tu.

So his hand holding the black piece paused for a moment.

Then he frowned slightly, his mind racing.

If Baiyi's observation of Zhaoji is limited to "observation," then it means that Zhaoji must possess a secret that interests him and the "Witch of Chaos"...

Only in this way would Baiyi have spent hundreds of years in the "Boundless Sea of ​​the Heart" and then observed Zhaoji for decades.

But what is it about Zehime that interests him, or rather, the Witch of Chaos?

Thinking about this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but recall the white-robed man saying that he was not the God-King of the "Chaotic Path".

Then, he thought back to those years in white, when, although he was observing Zhao Ji, he mainly stayed in the New Territories...

In that instant, Qiu Tu was startled. A bold conjecture formed in his mind.

Perhaps... the reason why the man in white was in the New Territories was not "because Zhao Ji was too strong, so he couldn't observe her up close and could only settle for observing La Ri Luo as a second choice", but rather... his "primary target" was La Ri Luo!

With that in mind, the answer is almost obvious.

He couldn't help but look at the man in white, then said with some shock, "You... or rather, the Chaos Witch is researching the secrets of the 'Cataclysmic Path' of transformation, splitting, and merging?"

"And Lady So...was she originally an experiment for her?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, a hint of appreciation was clearly visible in the white-robed man's eyes, but he neither agreed nor denied them.

He simply rolled up his right sleeve with his left hand, elegantly picked up a white chess piece, and gently placed it on the chessboard.

The piece was positioned a bit off-center, making it look like a useless piece. However, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that once the entire piece layout extends, it could very well become a crucial winning move.
