She said, "Qiu Tu means... if we want to try it, we can give it a shot."

Elena's answer was clearly a bit unexpected for the group.

Then Elena added, "But he also said that he can indeed trap a Shepherd's Heart, but only a Shepherd's Heart in its normal state."

“We’ll go and eliminate the seven ‘underground kingdoms.’ Because Mu Xin is isolated from the world and receives no information, she won’t be affected.”

"But... 'Chaotic Western Capital' is Mu Xin's divine kingdom. Everything we do in 'Chaotic Western Capital' will be seen, heard, and sensed by him."

“If we provoke Mu Xin, he might break through the formation ahead of time and come to stop us.”

"In that case, we won't be able to take over 'Chaotic Western Capital,' nor will we be able to reclaim the seven underground divine kingdoms."

"Therefore, after careful consideration, I chose the more conservative option."

Qiu Tu's reasoning was reasonable, so when Elena said it, the 12 figures had no further doubts.

Seeing this, Elena waved her hand and said, "Since there's nothing else, let's adjourn the meeting."

As each figure disappeared, the last remaining image of a beautiful woman was in the room. She smiled sweetly at Elena and said, "My lady, I'm getting a little craving for your wine. I wonder if I'll have the honor of coming over for a drink with you these next couple of days?"

When the woman mentioned drinking, Elena's eyes lit up immediately.

The two women clearly had a good relationship, so Elena replied without hesitation, "Wanwan, no problem."

"Tomorrow, I'll pick Qiu Tu up. After we're done with this, we'll drink until we drop tonight!"

Seeing that Elena had agreed, the goddess king smiled and said, "Then, my lord, see you tomorrow."

After Elena nodded in agreement, the phantom of the goddess king slowly disappeared from the spot.

Meanwhile, chaos reigned on the outskirts of the western capital.

While playing chess with Qiu Tu, the man in white also explained the situation of the western branch of the "temple" to Qiu Tu.

"Including Elena, there are a total of 13 high-ranking officials in the Western Branch. Some of the more important ones are her deputy Qing'e, the Executive Department is in charge of the God King Heavy Stone, and the Management Department is in charge of the God King Mad Elephant Demon."

"White Ape, the god-king of the White Ape pantheon; Starforge, the god-king of the Starforge pantheon."

"And... the training department is headed by the goddess Hua Wanwan."

Upon hearing the name Hua Wanwan, Qiu Tu paused for a moment, then couldn't help but ask, "Who is this...?"

His first instinct was to say, "The goddess king who's 'missing...' in her destiny?" But then he remembered Jasmine, who was also "missing grass," and Jasmine's likely true identity...

So, before he could finish speaking, he changed his words and asked, "My contact person?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, the man in white nodded slightly.

He said, "Wanwan is one of our own people, whom we've nurtured for a long time, and she's been infiltrated into the 'Temple' for two hundred years."

"You can trust her."

Upon hearing Bai Yi's words, Qiu Tu silently made a mental note of all seven high-ranking officials.

This will likely play a crucial role in his subsequent ability to navigate between the "Temple of Order" and the "Chaos Faction"...

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

The woman in white looked up at Qiu Tu again and asked, "Zhao Ji has emerged from seclusion. Is there anything you'd like me to convey to her?"

The gods have absolute control over their divine kingdoms, so even when they are not in their divine kingdoms, the white-robed figure can still transmit messages or control everything within them.

Hearing what Bai Yi said, Qiu Tu smiled and then took out a small, round mirror about the size of a palm.

He said, "Old Bai, have you forgotten that this formation only serves to obscure vision? It can't do anything else?"

"I can contact Zeji myself."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, the man in white smiled gently and teased, "You don't believe me at all, do you?"

Qiu Tu would certainly not admit it. He said, "I just don't like others relaying messages for me."

After saying that, Qiu Tu picked up the small mirror and began contacting Zhao Ji to make the next arrangements...

.....

Time flew by, and the next day arrived quickly.

According to Qiu Tu and Elena's plan, on the fourth day, which is today, Elena is to put on a full act and come to "rescue" Qiu Tu.

After all, normally speaking, it would be quite good if Qiu Tu, a newly promoted God King, could catch Bai Yi off guard and trap him; it would be highly unlikely that he could escape from Bai Yi's grasp.

Therefore, Elena, as the guardian god-king, needs to come and fill this gap, helping Qiu Tu "escape".

Whether Qiu Tu can gain Elena's trust and infiltrate the "temple" depends entirely on whether Elena will come as promised.

If Elena arrives as promised, regardless of whether she believes in Qiu Tu or not, it means that Qiu Tu can enter the "Temple".

But if she doesn't come, it means that Qiu Tu and Bai Yi have lost both their wife and their army.

However, just as Qiu Tu quickly realized that Elena was a fair and trustworthy person after only a few meetings, Bai Yi also knew Elena very well.

So even though time was running out for the two of them, they remained calm and collected, quietly meditating cross-legged.

And so, time passed by, minute by minute, until there were only 5 minutes left until Qiu Tu gave Elena her final deadline.

Suddenly, the two of them twitched their noses, as if they had smelled a scent of wine.

Following the direction of the aroma of wine, the two saw Elena carrying a gourd of wine, riding a small mare leisurely toward them.

She was clearly a little drunk; two rosy clouds rose to her cheeks, and her fair skin had a rosy glow, making her look delicate and tender. Her loose-fitting dress was half-open, revealing half of its curved edge, making her look both alluring and seductive.

Riding her mare to the front of the formation, Elena looked at Qiu Tu inside the formation with bleary eyes and said, "Qiu Tu, I've come to pick you up."

After saying that, she looked at Bai Yi, pointed at him, and said drunkenly, "Mu Xin, I've drunk a lot of wine today, don't force me to take action. I just want to bring my subordinates back."

Hearing Elena's provocative words, Qiu Tu couldn't help but look at the white-clad figure opposite him. Elena's current state and actions were not part of the plan.

Therefore, he was unsure how the man in white should cooperate next.

However, when he saw the man in white, he noticed for the first time a hint of apprehension flash in his eyes. It was as if he didn't want to fight the drunken Elena.

This was completely different from his usual nonchalant manner when talking about Elena.

Qiu Tu frowned slightly, as if he had grasped something.

Meanwhile.

While the three were facing off inside and outside the formation.

About a kilometer away from the formation, the Star Forging God King, the White Ape God King, and the Heavy Stone God King were watching the three from afar.

After a moment, the Heavy Stone God King spoke first, "Lady Elena, in order to rescue Qiu Tu, you actually used her innate divine skill. This innate divine skill has quite a few side effects on her. It doesn't seem like... acting?"

"Could it be... that we really misunderstood her and Qiu Tu?"

Chapter 763 Elena: Hold Me Tight (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Upon hearing the words of the Heavy Stone God King, both the Star Forger God King and the White Ape God King fell silent.

As a fifth-level God-King, Elena enjoys a formidable reputation throughout the entire "Ancient Continent." Therefore, her innate divine skill has long been known to everyone—Divine Intoxication.

Just two simple words, but behind them lies a monument built from the bones of countless god-kings.

Within the "Temple of Order" system, there are too many experts and too many cunning schemers. But Elena has been able to guard the West for many years because of her fairness, impartiality, and formidable combat power.

Don't let her constant drunkenness fool you; even if she's not as sharp-witted as some old foxes, the moment she activates her "innate divine skill," Divine Intoxication, she'll be in a completely different state.

In that state, she can unleash almost 100% of her full potential, and her perception, speed, and strength will all reach their peak.

It can be said that... by activating her "innate divine skill," she essentially gained an enhanced version of "absolute perception."

But that's not all. When she's in a state of "divine intoxication," a raging divine fire will ignite on her body if she gets injured.

That divine fire has multiple effects.

For example, it can help her increase her strength, and the more severe her injuries, the greater the increase in strength.

For example, it can greatly reduce pain, allowing her to act like a crazed killing machine without her movements becoming distorted due to pain.

For example, it can also accelerate her recovery from injuries, allowing her to recover quickly regardless of the severity of her injuries.

It's fair to say that Elena, in her "divine intoxication" state, is an unkillable cockroach, growing stronger the more she's attacked. Unless you're absolutely certain you can crush her, anyone who encounters her will find it a headache.

Of course... since the innate divine skill "Divine Intoxication" is so powerful, the price and side effects are naturally not light either.

Based on the intelligence gathered over the years, as well as information occasionally revealed by Elena herself, "Divine Intoxication" is powerful, but its duration is very short.

To prolong the duration of "divine intoxication," one must drink alcohol regularly. The more alcohol one drinks, the longer the next "divine intoxication" will last.

In addition, after the "divine intoxication" ends, Elena's cultivation level will also be reduced by a portion, and she will have to undergo arduous training again to regain it.

It can be said that this is a powerful yet somewhat limited signature skill. It can only be used as a trump card.

Therefore... unless it's a special situation or a critical moment, Elena will not use this signature skill.

Even during the past two days of clearing out the seven underground divine kingdoms, Elena didn't use this innate divine skill, but she used it here instead.

It was precisely for this reason that the three god-kings who had doubted Qiu Tu and Elena began to have some self-doubt.

However, all three were shrewd and calculating individuals. Although they had some self-doubt, they did not easily dismiss their doubts.

Especially the Star Forging God King, who had dealt with Qiu Tu before, had a flurry of emotions on his aged face upon hearing the Heavy Stone God King's words. After a moment, he slowly said, "Lady Elena's use of 'Divine Intoxication' was indeed somewhat unexpected."

"But... I still maintain the same attitude. Qiu Tu is too suspicious. So suspicious that he almost perfectly matches all the characteristics of a suspect."

"And more importantly... the war is over, and I haven't found a second suspect."

"So... I still suspect Qiu Tu is a spy. He orchestrated all of this himself."

Upon hearing Starforge God-King's words, White Ape God-King shrugged his thin shoulders and said, "Starforge, we know all that you're saying."

"Zhongshi and I agree with what you said."

"But there's one thing you still can't explain."

"Qiu Tu is only a Level One God King, but this time the 'Chaotic Faction' lost thirty God Kings and nearly a hundred Celestial Gods."

"Such heavy losses have even shaken the foundations of the 'Chaos Faction' in the west."

"In the short term, the 'Chaos Faction' is no longer able to suppress other routes in the west."

"Based on the strength of the 'Chaos Faction,' their 'Current Chaos Era' will also come to an abrupt end."

"In this situation, it's equivalent to the 'Chaos Faction' completely abandoning the West."

"Just how important is Qiu Tu that the 'Chaotic Faction' is willing to pay such a high price?"

Upon hearing the words of the White Ape God King, the Star Forging God King also fell silent for a moment.

His already aged face was scrunched up, looking incredibly vexed.

Clearly, what the White Ape God King said was exactly what he couldn't understand.

Although Qiu Tu made a great contribution this time, Elena even planned to promote him to the top and make him a deputy in a department.

But... you should know that the highest-ranking deputy in a department is only a Level 3 God King. And that's before they've even entered the branch's upper echelons.

Under these circumstances, Qiu Tu couldn't do anything at all, let alone disrupt the western branch, let alone do anything at the "Temple of Order".

This is a completely counterproductive endeavor.

Therefore, even the Star Forger God King was a little confused about where things went wrong.

Could it be... that Qiu Tu is really that important?

At this moment, before the Star Forger God King had figured all this out, the Heavy Stone God King, who was as large as a small mountain, also spoke.

His massive figure loomed over the two of them, and then he slowly spoke, "Alright, stop arguing."

"Although I don't really understand what's going on either."

"But... that doesn't matter."

"As long as we suspect he has a problem, then we should keep him under control."

"After all, he is only a first-level god-king. If he wants to advance to the next level, he needs the followers of the gods."

"Although he was appointed as my deputy, in theory, he should be assigned at least 10 celestial vassals."

"But... the 'Temple' is also free. If none of the gods below are willing to submit to it and obey its commands, then... the Temple will not forcibly assign personnel. It will simply wait for a new batch of gods to come and inquire again."
