Chapter 758 Don't say things that are detrimental to unity (Seeking monthly votes)

At that moment, although Qiu Tu had no expression on his face, he increased the probability that Jasmine was the "Chaos Witch" by 5% in his mind.

However, despite being tricked by Qiu Tu, the white-robed man proved himself to be a master honed through experience in the human world.

So, although his hand trembled slightly, it immediately returned to normal.

He held his teacup, then glanced at Qiu Tu with a nonchalant look and asked gently, "Did Her Majesty the Witch send you to deliver a message to me?"

When did you meet Her Majesty the Witch?

At this point, Bai Yi paused, shook his head, and added, "You still like to talk nonsense."

Qiu Tu didn't care at all when he heard what Bai Yi said.

He walked over to the man in white with a grin, reached for a teacup, poured himself a cup of tea, and then commented, "Old Bai, your mind is in turmoil."

"Given your personality, if you really thought I was just talking nonsense, you wouldn't have explained so much."

"And even though you were trying to hide it, I still noticed your hand trembled slightly."

"What? Did I hit the nail on the head, so you're feeling guilty now?"

As he spoke, Qiu Tu raised his teacup and prepared to take a sip of tea.

Just then, the man in white suddenly spoke up, "The tea is poisoned."

In that instant, Qiu Tu's hand trembled violently, and the teacup he was holding to his lips paused for a mere 0.1 seconds.

At this moment, the man in white spoke up.

He glanced at Qiu Tu indifferently, took a sip of tea, and then said, "Weren't you also taken aback when you suddenly heard such strange words?"

What does this mean?

To be honest, Qiu Tu hadn't felt this kind of worthy opponent in a long time.

A smile slowly spread across his face, and then he looked at the man in white.

Meanwhile, the man in white sipped his tea nonchalantly, as if he hadn't noticed Qiu Tu's gaze at all.

After a moment, Qiu Tu laughed twice before saying, "Old Bai, you're the most interesting one."

After saying that, Qiu Tu glanced at the "crisis sense" in the upper left corner. After confirming that there was really no indication that the tea was poisoned, he tilted his head back and drank the tea in the cup.

After finishing his tea, Qiu Tu said, "Alright, enough of this nonsense. Let's get down to business."

As he spoke, Qiu Tu said earnestly, "I have joined the 'Temple of Order' and have gained a certain level of trust."

"But if we want to keep climbing, we'll need your help."

"Now is the time to see your sincerity."

The man in white looked up at Qiu Tu and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Qiu Tu extended his hand and said, "I think we should put on a show."

"I will lure you out of 'Chaotic Western Capital,' and then trap you near 'Chaotic Western Capital' using an array."

"After that, you will have to stay with me in that formation for four days. You cannot leave."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the man in white frowned slightly. He looked at Qiu Tu, as if trying to guess Qiu Tu's plan.

After a moment, he refused, saying, "That would be too much of a loss for us."

Qiu Tu knew that Bai Yi must have guessed his plan, and he said, "One general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand."

"How can you achieve your goals without making some sacrifices?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Bai Yi rolled his eyes at Qiu Tu and said irritably, "Then why don't we sacrifice you?"

Qiu Tu shrugged and said, "It wasn't me who wanted to infiltrate the 'Temple of Order'."

Hearing Qiu Tu's shameless words, the man in white fell silent.

He held the teacup still for a few seconds before putting it down and pouring himself another cup of tea.

After a moment, he shook his head again, "The price is too high."

"You have no idea how many god-kings and gods we sent this time."

Upon hearing Bai Yi's words, Qiu Tu fell silent.

He thought for a moment, then picked up the teapot from the white-clad man's side and poured the tea directly onto the table.

The scalding hot tea, along with the rising steam, spilled all over the table.

The man in white looked up at Qiu Tu.

Qiu Tu ignored him and instead poured himself another cup of water from the teapot.

Then Qiu Tu looked at the man in white, gestured to the puddle of water on the table, then gestured to the water in his cup, and said,

"Old Bai. We've known each other for a long time, and we know each other inside and out. I thought there were some things that didn't need to be said so explicitly."

"The biggest problem with the 'Chaotic Path' is that it's very difficult to be bound by rules. The gods and god-kings of this path have significant problems in both their conduct and personality."

"Therefore... the other five pathways all have a tight organization, but the 'Chaos Path' does not."

"This is determined by the inherent properties of your 'pathway' itself."

At this point, Qiu Tu pointed to the puddle of water on the table and said, "So... those uncontrollable chaotic gods and god-kings are just like this puddle of water on the table."

"Although there are many of them, they are really just a mob."

As he spoke, Qiu Tu tapped the water in his teacup again, and then said, "And people like the Chaos Witch, like you, and some of the middle and upper-level people who are truly under your control are actually the core power of the 'Chaos Path'."

"These are the only people you cannot afford to lose."

"As for the other chaotic gods and god-kings, they are just consumables to you."

“Even…” Qiu Tu paused for a moment, then continued, “it’s your farm.”

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, a strange smile appeared on the white-clad man's face.

He gave Qiu Tu a deep look. "Oh? This is your guess?"

Hearing what Bai Yi said, Qiu Tu shook his head and said, "This is not my guess, but a deduction I made based on clues."

Perhaps realizing that Bai Yi wouldn't admit it unless exposed, he explained, "When you first met me, you mentioned that the Chaos Witch was conducting some kind of experiment."

"At that moment, I was wondering what kind of experiments the Witch of Chaos was conducting. Who could be subjected to such experiments?"

"Then I thought of you. You've reincarnated many times, and your identity has changed many times. Your personality has also become less like that of the 'Chaotic Path.' Could it be part of an experiment?"

"Like Zehime, she was originally a goddess of the Life Path, but under the persuasion of the Chaos Witch, she was reincarnated and cultivated the Destruction Path."

"Following this line of thought, I found even more clues."

"For example... the God-Kings of the Chaotic Path actually control very few 'Underground God Kingdoms,' and their organizational structure is very loose, relying entirely on the 'Guardian God-Kings' of a few regions to provide a certain degree of cohesion."

"The combat method of the 'Chaotic Path' often involves obtaining the coordinates of a certain 'Underground Divine Kingdom' and then having the 'Guardian God King' directly call for an invasion."

"This kind of invasion has no rules or discipline. It's just everyone rushing in like a swarm of bees, relying on numbers to gain an advantage."

"And after conquering that divine kingdom, all the chaotic gods and god-kings who participated in the war will also be free to act, burning, killing, looting, and disrupting order."

"How much loot you get, how much you gain, depends entirely on who grabs it fastest."

At this point, Qiu Tu's gaze sharpened, and he said, "But... strangely enough, during this time, the 'Guardian God King' and the high-ranking God Kings all disappeared."

Qiu Tu looked at the man in white and said, "I come from an intelligence background. When conducting intelligence analysis, besides looking for clues and making deductions, the most important thing is to find the 'motive'."

"You high-ranking members of the 'Chaotic Path' must have a purpose in protecting other deities, right?"

"You can't be doing charity work, can you?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, the man in white chuckled softly, then said gently, "We're just bringing 'chaos' to the whole world."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu smiled and nodded, then said, "Yes. This is indeed your slogan for external communication."

"The reason I suspect your motives and conspiracies is precisely because of this slogan you've been chanting."

He said, "Old Bai, you've been in human society before. We've shouted slogans way more often than you have."

"These things are fine for fooling the lower-level gods, but don't fool yourself."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the man in white gave a noncommittal laugh, then asked, "Since you think this is just a slogan, what is our real purpose?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu's expression also turned serious.

He reached out and touched the still-wet water stains on the table, then gently hooked them with his finger.

The next second, the water on the table, like a light veil, was partially lifted by his finger and dripped directly into the teacup.

Qiu Tu said, "Raising pigs. Harvesting them regularly."

"If a God-King wants to advance, he must devour or subdue other Gods. Among them, the Gods of this path are the best."

"So to some extent, the gods who share the same path are the greatest enemies."

“I don’t know how to solve this problem in other ways, but you clearly don’t want to solve it.”

"You brainwash the lower-level deities with slogans like 'bringing chaos to the world,' and then lead them to conquer cities and territories."

"During the great war, some gods were injured. It's reasonable for the God-King to be injured, right?"

"It would be quite reasonable for them to die accidentally while receiving treatment for their wounds in the rear, wouldn't it?"

"The gods of the 'Chaotic Path' are basically a bunch of idiots, or people who're a bit slow on the uptake."

"And during a major war, they simply wouldn't pay attention to these fallen gods."

"Therefore, your direct descendants can quickly advance and increase their strength by devouring the wounded."

At this point, Qiu Tu paused for a moment, and then said, "Your biggest flaw is not just your motives and slogans."

"And your actions."

Qiu Tu said, "Last night, I learned from Elena about the way the different eras of the 'Ancient World' are divided."

According to her, the stronger the overall power of the "Cataclysmic Pathway," the longer its era will last.

"So, in order to prolong the duration of the era represented by one's own path, normally, this path should try to preserve its strength and develop quietly."

"Your practice of periodically invading 'underground kingdoms' controlled by other means is clearly unreasonable."

"Therefore, I can only conclude that you are deliberately sending these gods to their deaths in order to enhance the strength of your direct lineage."

At this point, Qiu Tu put down the teapot in his hand and said indifferently, "Since these non-direct lineage gods and god-kings are just consumables."

"So... using it to upgrade your direct subordinates and using it to help me achieve great merit in the 'Temple of Order' are actually no different."

"All you need to do is ensure that your direct descendants are not affected."

"Even..." Qiu Tu said calmly, "If you want to take some gods with you while you're at it, so the God-Kings can use them for their own advancement, that's fine too..."

As Qiu Tu finished speaking, the room fell silent.

The man in white simply stared at Qiu Tu silently, without uttering a word. His expression was utterly unreadable, leaving one unsure whether Qiu Tu's guess was true or false.

Upon seeing this, Qiu Tu did not press Bai Yi for an answer. Instead, he remained seated quietly, looking at Bai Yi.

The two stared at each other for a few seconds before the man in white shook his head slightly.

He said gently, "You're also part of the 'Chaotic Path.' Don't bring up things that are detrimental to unity again."

He said, "I know you want to resolve this great war as soon as possible, and I know you want to climb to the top of the 'Temple of Order' as quickly as possible."

"But...please allow me to think about it."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu asked, "When can we expect a response?"

The man in white thought for a moment, then said gently, "Let's do it first thing tomorrow morning."

Qiu Tu nodded in agreement, then stood up and prepared to leave.

As a result, just as he was about to turn and leave, the man in white called him back.

The man in white said, "Didn't you want to know my purpose in arranging for you to join the 'Temple of Order,' and what information you wanted me to gather?"

"Take a look at this."
