Then let them offer their loyalty!

Although we chatted casually on the way, most of it was just rambling nonsense.

Just like Qiu Tu was clearly worried that Zhao Ji was hunting down too many gods and kings, which is why he kept urging him to lead the way.

However, when he told the deity, he said that his wife liked to watch the excitement and he was worried that if so many people went to watch the excitement at the same time, they would encounter danger.

After all... when you're out in the world, you give yourself your own identity.

We may only meet once in our lives, so there's no need to delve into it.

Therefore, in Qiu Tu's view, this deity should be just like himself, treating the other party as a stranger.

But to everyone's surprise, the other party actually... seemed to genuinely consider him a friend, and even followed him over, treating Zeji as his wife.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

He glanced at Zhao Ji.

Perhaps because there were outsiders present, Zhao Ji gave Qiu Tu face, so when the deity came over, Zhao Ji silently put the sword back in her hand and continued to look at the inner circle.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu quickly hooked his arm around the deity's neck, then, looking constipated, pulled him aside and began to explain.

Seeing the two's movements, Zhao Ji didn't move, but she kept an eye on them out of the corner of her eye.

I kept muttering about it the whole way...worried about safety...sister-in-law...?

Zeki has an extraordinary sensitivity to the emotions of living beings, so she can be certain that the other party is not lying or acting.

Then, recalling how Qiu Tu nervously pushed his way through the crowd to the front and looked worriedly into the inner circle when she discovered him, Zhao Ji's lips couldn't help but curl upwards slightly.

Is this... what it feels like to be cared for?

The battles in the inner circle started quickly and ended just as quickly.

While Qiu Tu pulled the deity aside to explain, the battle in the inner circle quickly came to an end.

A girl who looked only 1.5 meters tall, with black ears on her head, a long, thin tail sticking up on her butt, and wheat-colored skin, resembling a little wildcat, was knocked to the ground.

Just as Zhao Ji said, the girl was of noble status, so even if they captured her, those Destruction Gods still dared not kill her.

To avoid suspicion, the male god-kings stepped aside, while the goddess-king who had just spoken pinned her to the ground and tied her up.

Upon seeing that she had been captured, the little wildcat girl glared at them fiercely and said, "You're finished! His Majesty the Tyrant won't let you get away with this!"

"Don't even mention you, the entire 'Chaotic Western Capital' will be destroyed!"

Those who could become gods or god-kings without any background had all waded through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, so the god-kings did not care at all when faced with the girl's threat.

The female god-king even pointed her hand, and the rope binding the girl automatically gagged her as well.

After doing all this, the god-kings glanced back at the onlookers, then with grim faces, they took the girl into the air, clearly intending to deal with what was to come.

Seeing that there was no excitement to be had, the crowd dispersed, chatting amongst themselves.

Clearly, for "Chaotic Western Capital," which is located at the western focus of the entire "Ancient Continent," one or two big news stories emerge every now and then.

The same applies to the matter at hand.

It might not be long before it becomes a topic of conversation among them, or even be completely forgotten.

Having witnessed the entire incident, Zhao Ji slowly withdrew her gaze as the girl was taken away.

At this moment, Qiu Tu and the deity finally finished their conversation and returned to Zhao Ji's side.

No one knows what Qiu Tu said, but the deity grinned at Zhao Ji, revealing a row of snow-white teeth, and then stood silently next to Qiu Tu.

'2 points.'

Silently giving the deity before her a score for his talent, Zhao Ji withdrew her gaze without further interest.

Then her gaze fell on Qiu Tu, who scored 7 points.

At this moment, Qiu Tu's brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.

Zhao Ji looked at him, a question mark slowly appearing above her head.

At this moment, Qiu Tu reached out and grabbed Zhao Ji's hand, then said, "There are too many people here, let's leave first."

As he spoke, Qiu Tu grabbed Zhao Ji's hand and flew up into the air.

Although Qiu Tu's actions were a bit abrupt, Zhao Ji could see his seriousness, so she didn't say anything and was led away from the small valley by Qiu Tu.

The simple-minded deity, seeing Qiu Tu in such a hurry to leave, thought for a moment, scratched his head, and followed after him.

Qiu Tu was about to return to the world's central hub of "Chaotic Western Capital" to await Bai Yi's reply. Therefore, his flight direction was also towards the world's central hub.

While flying, Qiu Tu solemnly transmitted his voice through mental power, "Sister Zhao Ji, you must answer a few questions for me."

"When Princess Xingyue entered the 'Chaotic Western Capital,' how many Destruction Gods and God-Kings were there in total?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji was a little surprised, but still replied, "There should be 7 gods and 1 god-king."

Qiu Tu then asked, "How many did you kill with your own hands?"

Zhao Ji thought for a moment, then said, "I killed that god-king, and there were three other gods as well."

Upon hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu's expression turned even more unpleasant.

Perhaps sensing Qiu Tu's unease, Zhao Ji gave him a cold look, then asked in confusion, "What happened?"

Qiu Tu softly shared his assessment, "Actually... when you finished telling me about everything that's happened recently, I sensed something was off. But I didn't think much of it."

"But what that 'Star Moon Princess' said after she was captured has given me a bad feeling."

Zhao Ji knew that Qiu Tu never spoke without reason, so when she heard Qiu Tu say this, she flew over and looked at him. Although his face, which was as cold as an iceberg, was expressionless, she was clearly asking him a question.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu slowly spoke up to explain, "Sister Zhao Ji, don't you think 'Princess Star Moon' is acting illogically?"

"Although she came to 'Disrupt the Western Capital' with a mission, she is, after all, the daughter of a high-ranking god-king. Surely she doesn't risk committing suicide if she fails her mission?"

"So... even if the mission wasn't completed, even if someone attacked her, even if her subordinates were all killed or wounded, she shouldn't have given up and attacked other Destruction Gods and God Kings instead."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji's face showed a thoughtful expression.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu continued with a serious expression, "And... I remember when I first squeezed to the front row, I heard that 'Star Moon Princess' say she was anxious to advance."

"Why is she, a princess on a mission, in such a hurry to advance?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ji's beautiful face showed a hint of hesitation, clearly not understanding what had happened.

At this moment, seeing that Zhao Ji had grasped his line of thinking, Qiu Tu also began to state his conclusions.

As he flew, he gave Zhao Ji a deep look and then said, "So just now, I had a bold idea."

Qiu Tu said with a serious expression, "I suspect... Princess Xingyue may have used a 'switcheroo' tactic during this mission."

"She did not lead the team herself, but instead pretended to be an entourage member and had her confidant impersonate her to conduct the negotiations."

"In this way, she can reduce her own goals and danger; she can also sit back and wait to step in at a critical moment; and she can let her trusted confidant, who is good at negotiation, take over her work. It kills multiple birds with one stone."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji finally understood what the others were trying to say. She frowned slightly, then looked at Qiu Tu with a cool expression, "You mean to say..."

"Is the current Princess Xingyue actually an imposter? Or did the real Princess Xingyue die on the way?"

"So... that Princess Xingyue went mad and attacked other gods and god-kings who were involved in destruction."

Qiu Tu nodded, then said with a serious expression, "That fake princess probably has two purposes."

"Firstly, it's about revenge and venting anger. Princess Xingyue's death likely frightened her, so she's venting her emotions."

"Secondly... that's the reason she gave. She wants to quickly advance to the God-King level. That way, whether she escapes or returns to the 'Destruction Court,' she'll have some ability to protect herself."

At this point, Qiu Tu paused for a moment, then continued, "There is another important reason why I have this guess."

Qiu Tu looked at Zhao Ji and said softly, "That's what the fake princess called the 'Tyrant God-King'."

Qiu Tu said, "She didn't call him Father, but rather... Your Majesty the Tyrant."

"The way they addressed each other was far too distant, so distant it didn't sound like a father and daughter at all..."

Qiu Tu's words were reasonable and his speculation was quite plausible. Therefore, Zhao Ji's eyes grew even deeper and colder, like a frozen pool in an abyss. Her aura also became even more icy.

The two didn't continue their conversation, because they both knew what the next topic was:

Qiu Tu was clearly worried that Zhao Ji would kill Princess Xingyue during the pursuit.

But... no one knows which goddess is the real "Star Moon Princess," and the fake "Lucky Princess" has been captured by someone else, so there's no way to interrogate her.

Therefore, for a time, the high-ranking god-king "Tyrant" of the "Path of Destruction" became the sword of Damocles hanging over their heads.

No one knows whether the real Princess Xingyue is dead or alive, whether she was killed by Zhao Ji, or by some other force...

Just then, as Qiu Tu was thinking this, Zhao Ji's voice suddenly rang in his ears, "Eight months."

Qiu Tu gave her a strange look, wondering what she was talking about.

Then he heard Zhao Ji say in a cold tone, "Give me eight months and I can cultivate to the point where I can fight against a high-level God King."

Qiu Tu was stunned for a moment.

Although he knew that Zhao Ji was highly talented, the difference between a high-level god-king and a god-king was enormous.

Even if Zhao Ji has the ability to fight beyond her level, she would need to be at least a level 5 Guardian God King to fight a high-level God King, right?

Advancing to the fifth-level God King in 8 months?

Qiu Tu thought about it and decided that he should just cling to a powerful figure directly!

"Sister Zhaoji, I'm hungry!"

Even though Zeki has some understanding of human culture, she still doesn't quite understand such trendy things.

She looked at Qiu Tu with a strange expression, wondering what he was doing.

However, perhaps because of the threat posed by the high-ranking god-king, she once again felt a sense of urgency.

She said, "I have already devoured 10 celestials of the 'Destruction Path' and am ready to advance at any time."

"I only followed them because I was curious about Princess Xingyue and the others' whereabouts."

"Once I get back, I'll start preparing to advance to God King."

Hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu nodded slightly and responded.

And so, the three of them quickly flew to the central area of ​​the "Chaotic Western Capital".

Qiu Tu left a communication artifact for the deity nicknamed "Ahan," saying that after their next contact, he took Zhao Ji back to Xiao Yuan Yao's home.

However, when he wasn't looking at him, Ah Han scratched the back of his head and said in a somewhat silly way, "Next time to contact you? When is next time? Should we wait for Brother Tu tomorrow?"

.....

After returning to Xiao Yuanyao's home, Zhao Ji set up an array to ensure her safety before going into seclusion to advance to the God King realm.

Qiu Tu was quite busy. He was trying to find someone to inquire about "Princess Xingyue" while protecting Zhao Ji. He was also looking at the book that Bai Yi had given him today, which supposedly contained the secret weapon of the "Temple of Order," titled "On Collective Consciousness."

Time always flies when you're busy.

And just like that, the night passed quickly.

The next day, just as dawn broke, someone knocked on Xiao Yuanyao's door.

Zhao Ji was advancing in rank, and Xiao Yuan Yao was sleeping, so Qiu Tu got up and opened the door himself.

A maid dressed in a white gauze robe stood outside the door.

Upon seeing Qiu Tu, she bowed slightly and said, "Lord Qiu Tu, His Majesty Mu Xin invites you."

In fact, Qiu Tu already knew about Bai Yi's choice yesterday. He saw through the true intentions of the "chaotic camp" and realized that Bai Yi had no bargaining chips left.

The reason I didn't agree immediately was simply to go through the motions and delay the process.

Therefore, when the maid came to invite him today, Qiu Tu nodded and agreed.

As Bai Yi's niece, Xiao Yuan Yao's home could be considered the safest place in the "Chaotic Western Capital," so Qiu Tu closed the door and went directly with the maid to see Bai Yi.

Following behind the maid, as we walked, a white mist began to spread, gradually obscuring our vision.

A moment later, when Qiu Tu came to his senses, he had already returned to the antique-style room where the man in white had been...
