Then let them offer their loyalty!

At this point, Qing'e Goddess seemed to suddenly realize that she had let something slip, and then quickly stopped talking.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu did not ask any questions, but instead seemed to be deep in thought, and quietly wrote down the sentence.

He wasn't sure if it was some kind of intuition, but he had a feeling that this might be related to the Chaos Witch and the white-robed woman's assignment for him to infiltrate the "Temple of Order"...

Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but glance at Jasmine, who was standing beside him.

Whether she heard Qing'e Goddess King's words or not, Jasmine was clearly lost in thought for a moment.

But when she saw Qiu Tu looking over, a beautiful smile instantly bloomed on her face. Her eyebrows curved, her dimples were shallow, and she looked sweet and harmless...

What secrets are these two factions hiding?

What does it mean that a new order is about to begin?

Thinking this, Qiu Tu suddenly felt that there seemed to be some deeper secrets involved.

However, now was clearly not the right time to ask questions. So Qiu Tu didn't directly ask Qing'e or Moli, but instead kept this secret to himself for the time being.

And so, very quickly, the group arrived at "Elena's Kingdom".

To be honest, "Elena's Kingdom" was not quite what Qiu Tu had imagined.

The entire divine kingdom floated above the sea of ​​clouds, with a giant grapevine twisting and entwining to form a giant crown woven from emerald grapes.

A bunch of grapes, larger than mountains, hangs down from the "crown," and countless creatures live on it.

Moreover, as soon as they entered the "Elena's Kingdom" through the temporary "world passage," they smelled a strong odor of alcohol.

The aroma was rich and lingering, lingering around everyone's noses, as if just a few sniffs would make them drunk.

At this moment, perhaps sensing Qiu Tu and the others' curiosity, Qing'e glanced at Qiu Tu and then explained with a slightly embarrassed tone, "In our 'Temple' system, Elena's Divine Kingdom has another name: 'The Kingdom of the God of Wine.'"

"This is because Her Majesty Elena's 'path' is related to alcohol."

"And she herself also really enjoys fine wine."

Before Qiu Tu could speak after hearing Qing'e's words, Xiao Qinglan curiously poked her adorable head out and asked, "Is it related to wine?"

Her large, watery eyes were filled with confusion. "But why is alcohol considered part of the 'orderly pathway'?"

Hearing Xiao Qinglan's words, Qing'e glanced at her before saying calmly, "Because the brewing process of 'wine' is itself a form of order."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qinglan's eyes revealed a thoughtful expression.

Qiu Tu has a deeper understanding of all this: "Order" is actually a very broad concept.

From complex human activities and the movement of the sun, moon, and stars to the making of food and the brewing of wine, everything is a manifestation of order.

There are definitely differences in difficulty and level of expertise among these methods. However, the only impact on combat effectiveness and promotion speed is the level of expertise gained.

Therefore, "Dionysus" can indeed be classified as an "orderly path".

However, it was precisely by understanding why Elena was in charge of the "wine" channel that Qiu Tu suddenly understood why the "Temple of Order" was in such a desolate state in the west.

After all... the guardian god-king of the western part of the "Temple of Order" is a drunkard. And the entire branch is full of alcohol...

In this situation, if the god-kings of the western part of the "Temple of Order" come to a meeting, wouldn't they have a drink, indulge in some conversation, or at least give their superiors face?

And how can someone who drinks every day not make mistakes?

Thinking this way, Qiu Tu also found a suitable reason for the decline of the western part of the "Temple of Order"...

Just as Qiu Tu was lost in thought, his group, led by Qing'e, passed through the grapevines that stretched across the sky and entered the heart of the "Elena Divine Kingdom".

"Elena's Kingdom" is a typical multi-layered structure, with the outer area being the living area for ordinary living beings, and the inner area being the living place for the gods.

According to Qing'e's explanation, this is because "Elena's Kingdom" is, after all, the western gathering place of "Temple of Order".

The various God-Kings and Celestials come here periodically to discuss matters, so proper separation between gods and mortals would be more convenient.

In comparison, the eclectic living style of "Chaotic West Capital" is much rarer.

Arriving in the heart of the "Land of Elena," Qiu Tu entered the palace.

As soon as they entered the palace, Qiu Tu and the others smelled an even sweeter aroma of wine.

Along with the aroma of wine, a woman's voice rang in their ears, "This must be Qiu Tu, right?"

The woman's voice was languid and intoxicating, both alluring and as if she had just woken up; she sounded like a mature woman with a large bust.

Upon hearing the voice, Qiu Tu paused slightly, recognizing the voice almost instantly: Elena, the western guardian goddess of the Temple of Order.

After all... only she was able to communicate with Qing'e and know his name without anyone else knowing after everyone arrived in the divine kingdom.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu didn't care how he thought about the guardian god king in his heart, but his face immediately became extremely respectful.

He stopped, then bowed slightly respectfully in the direction the voice came from. "In response to Lady Elena, I am Qiu Tu."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu directly identify her, Elena giggled twice, then lazily said, "You're quite clever. Come on over~"

After she finished speaking, her voice gradually faded away. Meanwhile, the scenery around them began to change rapidly.

In a short while, the group was transported by the palace grounds to several magnificent halls.

The main hall was very large, with a full twelve magnificent pillars, and in front of the main hall was a soft couch more than two meters high.

A graceful woman dressed in a plain-colored robe was lying there lazily, her eyes slightly open, looking at the group of people with a languid air.

The woman had a high, straight nose, full, vibrant lips, and snow-white skin; she was very beautiful. She seemed to be drunk, her eyes slightly narrowed, and a faint smile playing on her lips.

What was even more eye-catching was her figure. Perhaps because she had drunk too much and wasn't paying much attention to her appearance, her blouse was half-open, revealing a large expanse of her fair skin. The full moon-like curves rose and fell slightly with her even breathing, drawing attention.

Qiu Tu lingered on her chest for a moment, then secretly praised his own judgment: his ability to recognize women by their voices was getting stronger and stronger.

At that moment, just as Qiu Tu was thinking this, Qing'e bowed slightly to Elena and said, "Lady Elena, the God-King Qiu Tu, who sent word that he has a way to end this great war, has been brought here."

Upon hearing Qing'e's words, Elena's gaze swept over Qiu Tu and the others before finally settling on Qiu Tu.

Slightly tipsy, she picked up a glass of wine, downed it in one gulp, and then spoke, "I heard you can resolve this great battle?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu confidently gave a "hmm".

Having received Qiu Tu's personal confirmation, Elena did not immediately inquire about the specific plan. Instead, she fixed her beautiful eyes on Qiu Tu, as if she were pondering something.

After a moment, she suddenly asked, "You... don't seem to be a member of the 'Temple' yet?"

Qiu Tu had already prepared his words before coming. He said, "Yes. I've come to see you, sir, also to join the 'Temple'."

After stating his position, Qiu Tu then briefly explained the reasons.

He said, "I wonder if you, sir, remember a world from several hundred years ago called 'The Boundless Sea of ​​the Heart'."

Although Qiu Tu raised a question, he didn't let Elena answer it. Instead, he continued explaining, "That world was connected to the 'Ancient Continent' several hundred years ago."

"But because of some misunderstandings with the Star Forger King, the world was almost destroyed, so the 'World Passage' was directly destroyed."

"This also resulted in that world remaining isolated for the next few centuries."

At this point, Qiu Tu paused for a moment, then continued,

"I am a native of that world, and in recent years I have become a god, and ascended to the rank of god-king."

"Afterwards, we found the 'World Passage' and re-established the connection with the 'Eternal World.' Only then did we arrive in the 'Eternal World.'"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Elena, who was lying there drunk, looked at Qiu Tu with bleary eyes, as if pondering the meaning behind his words.

Clearly, as the highest-ranking official of the "Temple of Order" in the western region, she enjoys drinking, but she is not completely numbed by alcohol.

Her gaze fell on the enormous Yaoqin, and then she said thoughtfully, "As soon as you entered the Divine Kingdom, I felt that you looked familiar. But I couldn't remember who you were."

"Just now, God-King Qiu Tu mentioned the 'Star-Forging God-King,' which suddenly reminded me of who you really are..."

"You seem to have once served under the 'Star Forger God King', right?"

Upon hearing Elena's question, Qiu Tu remained completely unmoved: because this was something he had deliberately orchestrated.

In this world, the worst thing you can do is to do something first and then ask for something in return. That's like handing over all the initiative to the other party.

When it's time to talk about interests, then talk about interests; when it's time to be upfront about the unpleasant aspects, then be upfront about them. Don't worry about morality or saving face.

The most terrifying thing in this world is a person who has nothing but morality.

Qiu Tu and the Star Forger God King have been enemies since the moment the "Star Forger Pantheon" invaded.

The "Starforged pantheon" holds a pivotal position in the western section of the "Temple".

If Qiu Tu does not declare his hostile relationship with them beforehand, he will definitely be the one abandoned in the event of a future conflict.

Therefore, Qiu Tu must put the Starforging pantheon on the trading table before negotiating with Elena.

Either make Elena promise to protect you, or make Elena guarantee to weaken the "Starforge pantheon".

That's why he deliberately brought up the Star Forger King just now to give Elena a hint.

At this moment, upon hearing Elena's question, Yaoqin, who had a deep conversation with Qiu Tu the previous night, also took the initiative to bow and said, "Replying to Lady Elena."

“I was indeed once a subordinate god of the Star Forger God King.”

Elena's face clearly showed curiosity as she asked, "Then why...?"

Before she could finish speaking, Yaoqin interjected, "Just over a month ago, I was ordered by the 'Star Forging God King' to invade the 'Boundless Heart Sea.' But... unfortunately, I was defeated."

"After the defeat, God King Qiu Tu did not kill me, but made proper arrangements for me."

"Afterwards, he took me to see various scenic spots in the 'Boundless Sea of ​​the Heart,' shared his dreams, and invited me to settle down there."

"His act of repaying evil with kindness made me feel both guilty and moved."

"So, after much deliberation, I finally chose to pledge allegiance to God King Qiu Tu."

At this point, Yaoqin paused, then continued, "After I pledged allegiance to God-King Qiu Tu, I also told him about the existence of the 'Temple of Order.' He immediately became interested."

"His contact with the 'Temple' this time was also facilitated by me."

After listening to Yaoqin's explanation, Elena finally understood why Qiu Tu had gone through so much trouble to mention the "Star Forging God King".

She stopped drinking, slowly sat up from the couch, and then quietly pondered.

It was only after she sat up that Qiu Tu noticed a faint golden star in the center of her forehead.

Those stars may look ordinary, but if you look at them a few more times, you can feel their immense power.

As the guardian deity of the western part of the "Temple of Order," Elena was clearly a smart woman. She clearly understood the subtext in Qiu Tu and Yao Qin's words.

So, after a two-second silence, she slowly said, "I am already aware of your conflict with the Star Forger God King."

"I can promise you here that as long as you can successfully resolve this great war, I can guarantee the safety of you and those around you, including your world."

"After you join the 'Temple,' the Star Forger God-King will at most use the rules to cause you trouble. But if he dares to use methods outside the rules, feel free to come to me for justice."

“I will stop it, reprimand it, punish it, and even... dismantle the entire Starforge pantheon.”

At this point, Elena paused, then added, "Of course... given how poorly the Starforging pantheon performed in this war, it's very likely that they'll be weakened by the 'Temple' after the war ends."

"At that time...it's uncertain how much of a threat they will pose to you."

Elena's promise was fairly fair, neither too generous nor too perfunctory. But for Qiu Tu, it was enough.

The "Path of Order" is, after all, a master at manipulating rules. The Star Forger God King is like that, but Qiu Tu is the same.

However, the "rules" do not consider strength.

Therefore, as long as "off-the-books tactics" are prohibited, Qiu Tu is confident that he can handle the Star Forging God King.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu bowed slightly and said, "Thank you for your support, sir."

Seeing that Qiu Tu had agreed to this condition, Elena's expression softened again.

She lay back on the tatami mat, looked at Qiu Tu, and asked in a languid voice, "Since that's the case, then tell me your plan."

"How do you plan to stop this war?"

"I hope I can hear an answer that satisfies me."

Clearly, even though Elena wasn't exactly a responsible guardian deity, she was still incredibly troubled by the relentless attacks from the "Chaos Faction." Therefore, she searched extensively for ways to resolve this great war.

Upon hearing her words, Qinglan, Zhuwu, Yaoqin, and Qing'e all looked at Qiu Tu with curiosity.
