If things go wrong, these beings, along with the dozens of gods and god-kings of the "Starforging Pantheon," will all perish.

At this moment, Qiu Tu, seemingly aware of Elena's thoughts, turned cold, his eyes gleaming with an icy light.

He said expressionlessly, "I do want to soar to the heavens, but I also want to take revenge on the 'Star Forger King'."

"It was the 'Starforge Pantheon' that invaded my world first, wanting to destroy it. I was simply giving them a taste of their own medicine."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Elena couldn't help but say, "But the 'Star Forging Pantheon' is, after all, part of the 'Temple.' This is tantamount to infighting."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu laughed and said, "But I hadn't joined the 'Temple' yet back then."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Elena was taken aback at first, then a look of realization appeared in her eyes.

Yes. The reason why the Star Forger God King dared to invade the "Boundless Heart Sea" was precisely because Qiu Tu had not yet joined the "Temple of Order" at that time.

Not being a member of the "Temple of Order" means you're not considered part of the "Temple." That's why the Star Forger King can invade at will.

However, at the time of carrying out this plan, Qiu Tu did not join the "Temple of Order," so he did not need to worry about the safety of the seven underground divine kingdoms.

Now that he's a member of the "Temple," he needs to worry about the safety of these seven underground divine kingdoms. Didn't he already propose a solution and prepare to save these seven kingdoms?

For a moment, Elena felt like Qiu Tu was exploiting some kind of bug...

After Qiu Tu's actions, his entire plan seems completely reasonable and compliant?

Just then, as Elena was thinking this, Qiu Tu added, "It's just a pity..."

“That old fox, Star Forger God King, guessed my plan and asked you for help in advance.”

"Otherwise... according to my original plan, all seven divine kingdoms should be destroyed by now, and the Star Forging God King should have fallen. Then I would come out with you, my lord, to clean up the mess and turn the tide..."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Elena's brows furrowed sharply.

At that moment, only one word came to mind: ruthless strategist!

Although there are many cunning and shrewd old foxes in the "Order Path," there are also many honest, law-abiding, or meticulous people who never overstep the rules.

These all fall under the category of "order".

Elena, however, leans more towards the latter. Despite her fondness for drinking and her seemingly unrestrained behavior when drunk, she is actually someone who values ​​rules, respects procedural justice, and acts with discretion.

Qiu Tu, however, clearly belongs to the former category: insidious, cunning, and fond of exploiting rules and order.

There are quite a few such god-kings in the "Temple of Order," but their reputations are generally poor.

So at that moment, Elena almost believed Qiu Tu's story.

After all... compared to her guess, Qiu Tu's story was more negative, and even a bit of leverage.

Although Qiu Tu's plan perfectly exploited a bug, if we investigate further, someone might still find fault with it.

If this weren't the truth, Qiu Tu wouldn't need to fabricate such a story from the filth.

If things go wrong, he might be expelled from the "temple" or even executed.

Thinking this way, Elena could more or less "understand" Qiu Tu's thought process.

Her mind raced as she reviewed all of Qiu Tu's recent plans in her head. After confirming that there were no loopholes or contradictions, she made her decision.

She looked at Qiu Tu and said, "Your plan is too aggressive and reckless. If not handled properly, it could destroy our entire branch."

"But fortunately... everything is still within your plan."

"So, let's proceed according to your plan for now."

"Once everything has settled down, we'll see whether you've done something good or bad."

At this point, she might feel that all of this was unfair to Qiu Tu. Elena thought for a moment, then added,

"Of course... it's a private calculation between the two of us."

"I will not tell any of this to the other god-kings."

"After all... this plan was made before you joined the 'Temple.' Since joining the 'Temple,' you've been working for it."

Upon hearing Elena's words, Qiu Tu couldn't help but smile.

He knew that everything was settled.

When he first met Elena today, he tested her several times, actually trying to build a personality model of her.

And all his plans were being tweaked to suit Elena's personality.

It was precisely because it was discovered that Elena leaned towards the conservatives and valued fairness and procedural justice that Qiu Tu dared to use such a radical method to smear and prove himself after being discovered tonight.

In hindsight, he made the right bet.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu's gaze shifted slightly. He paused for a moment, then took the initiative to say, "Lady Elena, actually, there's more to my plan than meets the eye."

Seeing Elena looking over, Qiu Tu said with a serious expression,

"Ever since I pledged my allegiance, the 'Chaos Faction' has trusted me implicitly. They're even willing to give me such a significant contribution to help me advance in our 'Temple'."

"Do you think I could turn the tables and continue pretending to be turned by them, then try to extract information from them?"

"After all, the level of access I can get to is definitely much higher than the intelligence outposts of the major channels in 'Chaotic Western Capital'."

At this point, Qiu Tu paused for a moment, then considered it carefully and decided that he could be a little more aggressive.

Then, he looked at Elena, and said softly, as if with a hint of seduction, "Like, Jasmine, the maid who's with me, don't you think there's something strange about her?"

Chapter 756 Qiu Tu: To Be a Double Agent? (Win an iPad with your monthly vote!)

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Elena was momentarily stunned.

Her beautiful face suddenly turned towards Qiu Tu, and she looked at him. What met her eyes were Qiu Tu's clear, lake-like eyes. They looked incredibly genuine, as if devoid of any calculation.

Looking into Qiu Tu's eyes, Elena's mind began to race as she recalled the scene when she met Jasmine earlier that day.

To be honest, Jasmine is really unremarkable. There are many people in Qiu Tu's group who are more distinctive than Jasmine.

Therefore, Elena didn't pay any attention to Jasmine at the time.

Fortunately, the God King's memories were already like a video recording, so even if she hadn't noticed at the time, she could now directly access those memories to see what was wrong with Jasmine.

After reviewing her memories for a while, Elena basically determined which of the people around Qiu Tu was acting strangely, and who was Jasmine.

She looked at Qiu Tu and asked, "Is it that girl who looks young and pretty, with two dimples when she smiles?"

Upon hearing Elena's words, Qiu Tu knew that Elena had indeed taken the bait, so he smiled and nodded slightly.

Elena's gaze darkened slightly. She said, "Actually, when I saw her today, I sensed something was off."

"Although she concealed it well, it was obvious that she was neither afraid of me, wary of me, nor enthusiastic or obsequious towards me."

Elena paused for a moment, then said, "As the guardian god-king, I have seen far too many gods and god-kings."

“When they first meet me, they generally fall into three categories: enthusiastic, fearful, and wary.”

"The first type belongs to the 'Temple of Order' and has not committed any wrongdoing. After meeting me, the guardian god-king, they are either enthusiastic or obsequious."

"The second type is fear. This is generally the state of a god or god-king who is too timid or has done something wrong."

"The third type is caution. This refers to gods or god-kings who have not yet joined the 'Temple' or other avenues."

“But your maid… does not possess any of these three emotions.”

As she said this, she glanced down at Qiu Tu, her dark eyes completely devoid of any light. Clearly... she had already guessed something.

She said, "On the contrary, your maid performed perfectly from beginning to end, adhering to etiquette without any flaws."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu replied, "But... that is precisely the biggest flaw."

Elena nodded slightly.

While Qiu Tu was meeting Elena, he had been secretly observing Jasmine with his mental energy.

Perhaps because he was "looking for clues with the answer in mind," he immediately noticed Jasmine's overly "normal" nature.

A mere eighth-rank maidservant, upon seeing the Guardian God King, showed absolutely no sign of abnormality—this was the most unusual thing imaginable.

Therefore, he once again confirmed his conjecture: Jasmine's true form is at least a god-king who is on par with the guardian god-king, or even the witch of chaos herself.

Now, thanks to Qiu Tu's reminder, Elena has finally discovered the problem.

However, she clearly didn't have as much information as Qiu Tu, so she could only look at Qiu Tu and ask,

"So... who exactly is your maid?"

Qiu Tu uttered four words calmly, "Chaos Witch".

In that instant, Elena's pupils contracted sharply, and her hands clenched tightly.

Although she tried her best to hide it, Qiu Tu still keenly noticed her emotional change.

In that instant, Qiu Tu once again understood the influence of the "Chaos Witch" on the "Ancient Continent".

As expected, a person's reputation precedes them; even a high-ranking member of the "Temple of Order," Elena, is so wary of the "Witch of Chaos."

It seems that over the past century, the "Witch of Chaos" has indeed wreaked havoc on all sorts of things.

However, even after figuring all this out, Qiu Tu still didn't stop telling his story.

He seemed oblivious to just how terrifying the "Witch of Chaos" truly was, and then said, "My lord. The reason I dared not speak plainly upon first meeting you today is because the 'Witch of Chaos' has been following me."

"Now that I've finally found this opportunity, I can finally tell you everything."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "The 'Chaos Witch' is one of the five high-ranking god-kings of the 'Chaos Faction,' and also the spiritual mentor of most of the gods of the 'Chaos Path.'"

"And now she's actually sent a clone to infiltrate our 'Temple.' I think this is a great opportunity!"

“How about…” Qiu Tu looked up at Elena’s beautiful face, then said softly, “you could take her down? And see if you can find any secrets about the ‘Witch of Chaos’?”

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Elena was stunned for a moment. She looked at Qiu Tu, pointed to herself, and then asked, "Me? I'll go and take down the 'Chaos Witch'?"

Qiu Tu corrected him, "A clone. It's just a clone."

He said with a serious expression, "I think the probability of the 'Witch of Chaos' infiltrating in her true form is no higher than 30%."

Elena was even more bewildered. "There's a 30% chance that Jasmine is actually the true form of the 'Witch of Chaos'?"

Her eyes darted around rapidly, and she felt that Qiu Tu must have gone mad.

Although Elena is ranked very high in the Temple of Order as the "Guardian God-King," it's important to know that for the "Witch of Chaos," it's not just a matter of being ranked high.

In some ways, she is the strongest god-king of the "Chaotic Path".

In the "Chaotic Era," with the world's bonus, she might even be the strongest being in the entire "Ancient Continent."

The gap between the two is enormous.

Let alone Elena, even the high-ranking god-kings of the "Temple of Order" would probably be no match for her.

In addition, this woman is crazy; she does things completely unpredictably and without regard for the consequences.

Therefore, all parties have already reached a basic consensus: during the "Chaos Era," they should avoid provoking the "Chaos Witch" if possible.

First, we'll weather the "Chaotic Era," then settle scores later.

Of course, Elena couldn't tell Qiu Tu, who had just joined the "Temple of Order," these things directly.

Especially since Qiu Tu is a key pawn, caught between the two camps and poised to betray them at any moment, it's even more crucial to avoid boosting the morale of "chaos" while diminishing the prestige of "order."

Therefore, upon hearing Qiu Tu say this, Elena's brain started working at lightning speed.

After a moment, she had an idea. She looked at Qiu Tu and then said, "Qiu Tu."

"Simply taking down one of the 'Chaos Witch''s' avatars is useless. A god-king of that level would definitely have made all sorts of preparations beforehand."

"Once we take down her clone, she will most likely self-destruct, and her consciousness will return to her original body."

"If we get targeted by her again, it will be a huge loss."

At this point, Elena's thoughts gradually came to light.

She adjusted her slightly loose-fitting clothes at her chest and then said, "So, I think what we need to do now is not to deal with this clone, but to observe quietly what she is planning to do without alerting her."

Perhaps her thoughts were flowing more smoothly, Elena began to return to her usual self, a faint smile appearing on her face, before she said somewhat languidly,

"After all, she's in the open now, while we're in the shadows. This helps us observe her and gather intelligence on her."

"If we alert them, we might lose this excellent opportunity to observe them."
