Then let them offer their loyalty!

It's not scary to have a strong hand; what's scary is when someone's hand is unknown.

Even the most powerful trump card can be countered. But knowing that your opponent has a trump card, but not knowing what it is, is like a sword hanging over your head forever.

Besides these two reasons, lastly and most importantly... the God King of the Vast Ocean truly didn't believe that Qiu Tu had created a "Destined Divine Skill"!

If Qiu Tu had used other means or had defeated him and the Heavy Stone God King in a fair and square manner, they would have been truly convinced.

Qiu Tu used such a low-probability event to bluff, and he managed to fool them. When the truth comes out, they will truly regret it to the point of dying with regrets!

With this in mind, the God King of the Vast Ocean finally had an idea.

He looked at the heavy stone god king on the main seat.

The Heavy Stone God King seemed to be lost in thought and didn't notice his gaze.

The Vast Ocean God King gently extended his spiritual power towards the Heavy Stone God King.

After ascending to godhood, a god's basic skill is to project their spiritual power around their body, forming a protective membrane that can isolate and warn other gods of their spiritual power.

Therefore, with just a touch from the Vast Ocean God King, the Heavy Stone God King immediately snapped out of his daze and reflexively looked at the Vast Ocean God King.

The two exchanged glances, and the God King of the Vast Ocean gave a few meaningful looks. The God King of the Heavy Stone immediately understood: the God King of the Vast Ocean wanted to carry out the plan they had made two days ago: to put pressure on Qiu Tu and force him to submit.

His brow furrowed slightly.

A few days ago, he told the God King of the Vast Ocean that as the God King in charge of the "Execution Department," he could not back down in the face of provocation from Qiu Tu.

To maintain the trust and loyalty of his subordinates, a leader cannot show any weakness and must remain assertive.

But today, when faced with Qiu Tu's claim that he had created a "divine skill of destiny," the Heavy Stone God King hesitated and regretted it.

He didn't know if it was just his imagination, or if it was because he was also creating his own "divine skill," but deep down, he always felt that Qiu Tu wasn't lying.

In that case... is it really worth continuing to be enemies with a super genius who can create a "natal divine skill" at the level of a second-level god-king, just because of some past conflict?

At this moment, perhaps a misunderstanding arose. Seeing that the Heavy Stone God King remained silent, the Vast Ocean God King seemed to assume that the Heavy Stone God King had tacitly agreed.

So he gave a wink to another god-king beside him: the Demon-Eyed God-King.

Having ruled the "Execution Department" for so many years, the Heavy Stone God-King has quite a few staunch supporters. Of the more than 20 God-Kings present, at least a third are his confidants, and of the remaining two-thirds, more than half are loyal to him.

Therefore, the matter of putting pressure on Qiu Tu does not require the God King Chongshi to take action personally; the God King will handle it himself.

At that moment, upon receiving the look from the Vast Ocean God King, the Demon Eye God King immediately understood.

As mentioned earlier, because Qiu Tu was confident of victory, he was not in a hurry to target the Heavy Stone God King. Therefore, most of the God Kings present believed that Qiu Tu was bluffing.

Therefore, upon receiving a signal from the Vast Ocean God King, the Demon Eye God King did not hesitate and proceeded with the plan immediately.

He glanced around at the God-Kings who were packing up their documents and preparing to leave, his gaze finally landing on Qiu Tu. He then smiled and greeted them first, "God-King Qiu Tu, please wait."

Upon hearing the words of the Demon Eye God King, Qiu Tu, who was about to get up and leave, paused for a moment, then looked down at him.

Seeing that he had successfully attracted Qiu Tu's attention, the Demon Eye God King smiled and then got down to business.

He said, "You just said you were late for the meeting because you were 'in seclusion' creating a 'divine skill of destiny'?"

When the Demon Eye God King mentioned "Heavenly Mandate Divine Skill," Qiu Tu knew exactly what the Demon Eye God King meant.

But he wasn't lying, so he wasn't flustered at all. Instead, he nodded slightly and admitted, "Yes."

No one who can become a God-King is a fool. Although he knew he was being used as a pawn, the Demon-Eyed God-King wanted to secure his own escape route.

So when Qiu Tu admitted it, he didn't mock him, but instead pretended to be curious and said, "I wonder how your creation is progressing? Would it be convenient for you to show me?"

At this point, he might have wanted to continue putting pressure on Qiu Tu, or he might have been deliberately setting the stage for the later events involving the Heavy Stone God King. He also deliberately said...

"After all, this matter is also related to your lateness to the 'God King Conference'."

"Your Majesty Chongshi was very magnanimous just now and didn't discuss this matter in detail, but I feel that... in order to avoid future disputes or rumors, some things still need to be verified."

The god-kings present were all preparing to leave. But now, seeing such a grand spectacle unfolding, they all stopped and stood there, observing the unfolding events.

After all... they were also curious whether Qiu Tu was really creating a "divine skill" or just bluffing.

Qiu Tu keenly sensed the change in the atmosphere at the scene.

However, he was clearly very confident, having the upper hand.

Therefore, he wasn't flustered at all. Instead, he looked at the Demon-Eyed God-King with amusement, then at the Heavy Stone God-King, and asked, "Is this the Demon-Eyed God-King's opinion, or... His Majesty Heavy Stone's opinion?"

A few days ago, when the Heavy Stone God King explained the plan to the Vast Ocean God King, the Vast Ocean God King made minor adjustments to the plan.

As the king of the "Execution Department" and someone who is preparing to subdue Qiu Tu, the Heavy Stone God King certainly cannot play the good cop.

Therefore, the God King of the Vast Ocean took the initiative to shoulder this potentially offensive task.

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's question, the Vast Ocean God King, without waiting for the Heavy Stone God King's reply, quickly interjected with a smile, "God King Qiu Tu is joking."

"His Majesty Chongshi is magnanimous and generous. No matter what you say, he will not ask questions or investigate further, but will simply believe you."

"But... we can't judge ourselves by that standard."

Since the God King of the Vast Ocean had decided to be the bad guy, he would naturally stick to it. So, his beady eyes gleamed as he said, "You were late today, and the reasons you gave were inconsistent. I need to write several reports to explain the situation."

“I believe I have the right to know the real reason and to verify it.”

"Otherwise... if the higher-ups come to investigate, I won't be able to escape punishment."

"For example... I told the higher-ups that I had created a 'divine innate skill,' and they believed me and sent people to investigate, only to find out it was fake..."

The voice of the God King of the Vast Ocean grew softer and softer, as if it were truly the truth.

"Won't we all get into trouble then?"

Upon hearing the words of the God King of the Vast Ocean, Qiu Tu couldn't help but smile.

All the God King of the Vast Ocean wanted to do was test his "innate divine skill."

I originally wanted to give them some leeway, and also give myself more time to develop. But now it seems... that's not necessary.

Thinking this, he couldn't help but ask, "So, how does the Vast Ocean God King intend to confirm what I said? Is he also trying to verify my 'Innate Divine Skill'?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the God King of the Vast Ocean seized the opportunity and said with a smile, "Since God King Qiu Tu has this intention, I certainly think this is the best solution."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu knew that it would be impossible not to unleash his newly learned "Wrath of the Emperor" today.

But... he's certainly not the kind of person who just agrees with whatever others say and doesn't retaliate.

Therefore, upon hearing the words of the Vast Ocean God King, he said meaningfully, "My 'Innate Divine Skill' is lethal."

"And I've only just mastered it, so I'm still a bit rusty. If I don't control it properly, it could easily hurt any of you here."

Perhaps due to preconceived notions, whatever Qiu Tu says now, Han Hai Shen Wang and the others take as Qiu Tu making excuses or shirking responsibility.

Especially now that Qiu Tu no longer says he went into seclusion to create a "divine skill of destiny," but instead says he has successfully created it, they are even less likely to believe it.

Therefore, upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the God King of the Vast Ocean smiled and said, "God King Qiu Tu, rest assured."

"We might not be able to handle it, but the Demon Eye God King is definitely fine."

He paused for a moment, then explained,

"The Demon-Eyed God King possesses a wondrous 'Divine Skill,' which causes the world to briefly split into a parallel world that lasts only a few seconds beneath his gaze."

"No matter what happens next, he can move that future branch to that parallel world and destroy it."

"And the real world will return to the state it was in a few seconds ago."

Upon hearing the words of the Vast Ocean God King, Qiu Tu's gaze narrowed slightly.

Just hearing the introduction from the Vast Ocean God King, he was shocked by the Demon Eye God King's "divine skill".

'The laws of time? Or space?'

Or perhaps... a bluff?

To be honest, Qiu Tu originally just wanted to scare the two God Kings and teach them a lesson. But after hearing the God King of the Vast Ocean explain this "Heavenly Divine Technique," Qiu Tu became genuinely interested.

He gave the Demon-Eyed God King a deep look. The Demon-Eyed God King wore a confident smile, showing no fear whatsoever.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu also smiled and said, "It seems that the Demon Eye God King is very confident."

He glanced around at the assembled God-Kings and said, "In that case... I ask you all to be my witnesses. It was the Vast Ocean God-King and the Demon Eye God-King who wanted me to demonstrate this. If anything goes wrong, it's not my fault."

At this point, Qiu Tu looked at the powerful God-King Chongshi above him, "Your Majesty Chongshi, you shouldn't object, right?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the Heavy Stone God King clearly hesitated.

But now that things have come to this, if he were to actually oppose it, this "God King Conference" would be a complete failure, and everything the Vast Ocean God King had just done would be in vain.

Thinking this, the Heavy Stone God King couldn't help but nod slightly, which was considered as agreeing.

Upon seeing this, all the god-kings present immediately knew that a good show was about to begin.

Whether Qiu Tu is bluffing or the Heavy Stone God King and his group will be thoroughly humiliated, we will soon find out.

So they all turned around and looked at Qiu Tu and the Demon Eye God King.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu finally stopped hiding it.

Since the enemy is in such a hurry to let grass grow on his grave, there's no need for him to keep suppressing himself.

So he sat back down in his chair and unhesitatingly activated the innate divine skill "Emperor's Wrath - Modified" that Zhao Ji had created for him!

As "Emperor's Wrath - Modified" was activated, the atmosphere in the entire hall changed abruptly.

At that moment, all the god-kings suddenly found themselves growing shorter and smaller, their bodies becoming increasingly insignificant. Qiu Tu was one of those who changed.

Qiu Tu was only sitting in the second seat on the right, yet the whole world seemed to revolve around him, slowly rotating and changing.

The world gradually darkened, but Qiu Tu's body grew brighter and brighter. His figure grew taller and larger, soon becoming a colossal god towering between heaven and earth! The entire world seemed to prostrate itself at his feet, faithfully gazing up at him.

Immediately afterwards, Qiu Tu's face became increasingly devoid of joy or sorrow, increasingly detached. It seemed that nothing in the world could evoke any emotional change in him. He was like a "world consciousness" that controlled all the rules of the world.

He seemed invincible, unstoppable, and even unbearable to look at.

At this moment, the gods and kings in the entire hall discovered that the "Cataclysmic Power" within them was circulating more and more slowly and stagnantly. Their strength also seemed to be suppressed, and began to decline.

Fear, trepidation, and panic began to arise in their hearts.

'A divine skill by destiny!? It really is a divine skill by destiny?'

At this moment, even the God King, who looked down on Qiu Tu the most and doubted him the most, could not deny this fact.

Such terrifying power, such application of the world's rules, cannot be faked by "divine techniques".

However, even the God King, who had the highest opinion of Qiu Tu and trusted him the most, had to admit that Qiu Tu's control over his "innate divine skill" exceeded their expectations.

This isn't about creating a "divine skill," it's clearly about using it with unparalleled skill.

'Qiu Tu actually succeeded?!'

With this thought, the astonishment in the hearts of the gods became even more difficult to suppress.

At that moment, Qiu Tu, who stood tall and whose body occupied four-fifths of the world, spoke.

He looked at the demoted Demon-Eyed God King without joy or sorrow, and then slowly said in a deep, hoarse, and transcendent voice, "Those who blaspheme the gods... die."

As he said this, Qiu Tu slowly pressed down with his large hand.

The enormous hand, almost as big as the entire sky, carried unparalleled power and pressed down on the ground with a devastating force.

In that instant, not only was the Demon Eye, who was in the center of the attack, shocked, but even the God Kings around him who were affected by the aftershocks were also taken aback.

Many of them had seen high-level god-kings, but... even a high-level god-king was nothing more than this in a single move!

How could Qiu Tu be so strong!

This is beyond everyone's imagination!

Chapter 784 Qiu Tu's Shocking Strike (Win an iPad!)

As the saying goes, even if you've never eaten pork, you've at least seen pigs run.

"Innate Divine Skill" is the strongest means of a God-King, and not many God-Kings can master it. However, as long as God-Kings live long enough, most of them will see it a few times.

God-Kings who can be stationed in core departments like the "Execution Department" have naturally seen the "Innate Divine Skill".
