"I'll say it..."
His eyes flickered for a moment before he spoke, "Just tell her to thank her for her support of our 'Execution Department' over the years."
Upon hearing this, the God King of the Vast Ocean quickly composed himself and bowed his head in response, "Yes, my lord."
.......
Meanwhile, in the main hall of the Palace of Dionysus.
Qing'e was also chatting with Elena.
Because Qing'e was her only confidante, Elena lay there languidly, dressed in a plain, open-fronted robe.
She had a high, straight nose, full, prominent lips, and a voluptuous figure. Her fair, snow-white skin seemed so tender it could be squeezed for moisture. Even when she was tipsy, the mixture of her body fragrance and the smell of alcohol created an irresistible urge to pounce on her and kiss her.
Qing'e was clearly used to her boss's unrestrained behavior, so she didn't even glance at her, completely ignoring the large expanse of white skin and full moon-like curves revealed beneath Elena's half-open bodice, and quietly began to speak.
"Sir, that's how it is."
"Qiu Tu didn't choose any of the people assigned by Chongshi and Zhuxing. It was as if a high-ranking official familiar with the 'Western Branch' had given him detailed guidance."
"Furthermore, a few days ago, Hua Wanwan granted Qiu Tu the 'rank of a celestial being' without your consent. I feel there's reason to believe Hua Wanwan is involved in something."
Upon hearing Qing'e's words, Elena raised her droopy eyelids, glanced at her below the stage, waved her hand dismissively, and said with a smile, "You're overthinking it, you're overthinking it."
She said drunkenly, "Why are you so sure that someone else told Qiu Tu? Couldn't Qiu Tu have figured it out himself?"
"You could tell?" Qing'e asked, somewhat puzzled.
Elena leaned back and said nonchalantly, "Yeah."
"Using your eyes, your ears, your heart, or even your catastrophic abilities or divine skills is all possible."
Hearing Elena's words, Qing'e was even more confused. She said, "How could such a miraculous ability exist?"
She stated, "All 'catastrophic abilities' originate from within oneself, thereby influencing the enemy."
"There's no such thing as an ability that comes from an enemy and can be sensed by oneself."
"This violates the fundamental operating rules of 'catastrophic capability'."
"Moreover..." She paused for a moment, then said, "Using this ability on hundreds of gods, not to mention whether it would drain Qiu Tu's strength, how could no one have noticed?"
Upon hearing this, Elena tilted her head back, took a sip of her drink, and then shook her head with a smile. She said, "The world is vast and full of wonders."
"You believe you've violated the fundamental operating principles of 'cataclysmic capabilities.' But is it possible that you've simply misunderstood?"
Elena gave an example, "For instance... his ability is more of a 'reconnaissance' type."
“It originates from him, travels to others, produces a reaction, and then returns to him.”
Upon hearing this, Qing'e's face showed a hint of realization. However, the next second, her brows furrowed slightly, as if she had thought of something.
After a moment, she looked at Elena and asked, "My lady, you must have made some discoveries to say that, right?"
Elena smiled upon hearing this and then said, "I suppose so."
She tilted her head back and took a sip of wine, then said, "Although Qiu Tu's world is hidden, it's impossible to find out anything about him."
"However, this does not mean that his intelligence cannot be analyzed in other ways."
"For example, during this period, he has been trying to contact the gods he is interested in, and even establish a superior-subordinate relationship."
"For example, the subordinates he brought along had a strong presence as intelligence agents."
"For example, not long after this great battle, he confidently began to select subordinate gods."
"For example... he was clearly a very cautious person, but from beginning to end, he never talked to or got to know any of the gods who interested him."
Elena was clearly drunk, but she possessed a clarity that seemed to see through everything. "Don't you think all of this is very contradictory, or rather, strange?"
"Why is he, such a cautious person, not so cautious about such a big matter?"
"This can only mean that he has a source of information that he is very confident in."
"You think it was other higher-ups who told him?" At this point, Elena shook her head. "Given Qiu Tu's cautious nature, he might not believe what other higher-ups say."
"After all, that higher-ups might indeed remove the Heavy Stone God King's confidants, but they might also place their own confidants in his place."
"So, let alone the higher-ups, even if I told him who was usable and who wasn't, he probably wouldn't believe me."
At this point, Elena suddenly laughed even more heartily, and then sighed, "So... Han Hai really only thinks he's smart, but he's actually just a little bit clever."
"These things can actually be seen if you analyze them carefully."
"But he misunderstood you."
Upon hearing Elena's words and deeds, Qing'e bowed to Elena with a serious expression, "Your subordinate has learned a great deal."
After saying that, she thought for a moment and then said, "Then it seems that I misunderstood, Lady Hua Wanwan."
This time, Elena waved her hand again, "Not necessarily."
"I also think there's something wrong with that woman."
"Since you have some doubts, then investigate and test her."
"That woman seems law-abiding, but she's actually quite slippery. What she did this time seems like something out of character for her, but there's something strange about it."
"So it's worth a try."
Upon hearing Elena's words, Qing'e quickly replied, "Yes," and then slowly withdrew from the hall.
...
Soon, in the Dionysian Kingdom, in the training department, Hua Wanwan's desk received two gifts and two invitations.
One was sent by the God King of the Vast Sea, and the other was sent by Qing'e's maid.
The gifts were of similar value, and the invitations were almost identical. They all invited Hua Wanwan to visit.
Looking at the two invitations, Hua Wanwan adjusted her glasses, her beautiful eyes behind the lenses gleaming with a sharp light.
She turned her head and looked in the direction of Qiu Tu's palace.
'Was it because that guy gave himself away?'
'That shouldn't be the case....'
'This guy turned the 'temple' upside down the moment he arrived. Looks like... I'll have to be more careful next time...'
...
Although the God King of the Vast Ocean was somewhat cunning and treacherous, he was still very efficient.
After confirming that he could not plant a spy next to Qiu Tu, he quickly completed the formalities for the 10 subordinate gods selected by Qiu Tu.
In the "temple" system, the relationship between subordinate gods and the god-king is almost inseparable.
Unless higher authorities intervene or there are special circumstances, it's almost a matter of shared prosperity and shared ruin.
Therefore, after being selected by Qiu Tu, the loyalty of these 10 gods, which already had a loyalty level of around 40, surged again.
When Qiu Tu met them and encouraged them, their loyalty levels almost all started to rise to 60.
Although their loyalty is still far from that of the trusted confidants Qiu Tu brought from the "Boundless Heart Sea," it is already usable.
Therefore, Qiu Tu did not treat them as outsiders.
Elena had just rewarded him with 3% of the resources, so he simply took out a portion and bestowed it upon these subordinate gods.
After gaining another wave of loyalty, Qiu Tu also formed a contract with them under the witness of the "Origin of the World".
From then on, they were bound to Qiu Tu, and even if they became God Kings, they would still belong to Qiu Tu's system.
With the allegiance of these 10 Order Gods, Qiu Tu felt that he had gained more experience and insights into the "Path of Order" in his mind. His own realm also began to rise steadily.
After closing his eyes and quietly contemplating for a while, Qiu Tu opened his eyes, encouraged the group, assigned them the task of gathering intelligence, and then turned and went back to his room.
Back in his room, Qiu Tu first used his mental power to send a telepathic message to Zhao Ji, informing her that he was going into seclusion to break through to the second level of God King. Then he set up a magic array to prepare for the breakthrough.
In a world where great power resides within oneself, strength is the foundation of everything.
Although Qiu Tu became the deputy of the Heavy Stone God King, he had no status in the "Execution Department" or the "Temple" because he was not strong enough.
Only by successfully breaking through this barrier and becoming a second-level God King can he truly reach the threshold of a deputy and wield power.
With this in mind, Qiu Tu closed his eyes with a resolute gaze and began his breakthrough...
Meanwhile, in the courtyard next to Qiu Tu's house...
Upon receiving Qiu Tu's telepathic message, Zhao Ji turned her head to look in the direction of Qiu Tu's courtyard, her expression somewhat complicated.
Although she didn't want to admit it, seeing Qiu Tu's promotion again, Zhao Ji had to admit that she seemed to be gradually falling behind Qiu Tu's pace.
Or at least, we can no longer keep up using normal methods.
'This is Qiu Tu, this is the "Temple of Order"?'
'Integrate the resources of the Gods of Order, allocate them, and quickly create a group of mid-level God-Kings.'
This is a game-changer compared to other approaches.
Thinking this, Zhao Ji's hands involuntarily clenched.
She felt she couldn't go on like this. If things continued this way, she would be completely left behind by Qiu Tu.
Based on Qiu Tu's personality and past experiences, he would not abandon those around him because of his strength, and would continue to provide them with resources and assistance.
However, Zhao Ji did not want to become Qiu Tu's kept woman or a woman supported by Qiu Tu.
She should be Qiu Tu's comrade-in-arms, a roc soaring through the nine heavens. She is a woman destined to stand at the pinnacle of this world.
She shouldn't be looking up at a man's back; she should be the one looked up to by the whole world.
Thinking this, her gaze became even more determined.
'It seems... we'll have to use the backup plan.'
'It's perfect timing that Xiaola has arrived beside me; my strength should be sufficient now...'

Thinking this, Zhao Ji's gaze became increasingly resolute.
She glanced again in the direction of Qiu Tu's room before stepping out to meet La Riluo and discuss her plans...
She felt that she knew her younger sister fairly well.
Although she's a bit playful, a bit of a glutton, a bit lazy, and somewhat irresponsible, she's actually quite diligent when it comes to herself and Qiu Tu.
Therefore, as long as you explain the pros and cons to her, she will most likely agree.
Thinking this, Zehime got up and walked outside, intending to talk to Lariel...
...
Meanwhile, before Zehime arrived at Lariel's room, there was already an uninvited guest in Lariel's room.
"What are you doing in my room?" Looking at the figure in front of her that she didn't like, Larilu's tone was clearly a little unpleasant.
Compared to her, the uninvited guest was noticeably more courteous.
She looked at La Riluo with a smile in her big, almond-shaped eyes, and two small dimples on her cheeks made her look exceptionally cute.
Clearly, this uninvited guest is Jasmine, the alter ego of the Witch of Chaos.
She might actually have some unusual relationship or connection with Lariello, so even though Jasmine's attitude was terrible, she still smiled unconcerned and said,
"Little Lala, please don't be so hostile towards me. We're actually all on the same side."
Upon hearing Jasmine's words, Larilu snorted and said, "One of us? I don't think you're one of us."
She clearly didn't know Jasmine's identity, so after looking her up and down, she said, "I don't think you're on our side at all. You're always trying to sow discord between us."
Hearing Lari's words, Jasmine covered her mouth and laughed, then said, "Little Lari, you've really misunderstood me."
"I am indeed not Lord Qiu Tu's subordinate, but I am also your ally."
"And I like you very much."
She paused for a moment, then deliberately added, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have told you so immediately after receiving such important news."
Lariro's curiosity was piqued upon hearing Jasmine's words.
She looked at Jasmine suspiciously, then asked, "What important news?"
