Then let them offer their loyalty!

Page 942

In an instant, everyone around Qiu Tu seemed to turn into a good person.

Moreover... perhaps because he officially took up his post in the "Execution Department," Qiu Tu was finally able to see the "loyalty" of all the gods and god-kings in the "Execution Department."

It's visibly obvious that they're all over 40.

This shows that these gods were genuinely interested in Qiu Tu, and not just pretending.

A loyalty score of 40 points has proven that if Qiu Tu assigns them suitable tasks, they will complete them diligently.

The next step would require Qiu Tu to make contact with them, demonstrate his personal charm, and transform their loyalty to the "system" into loyalty to Qiu Tu "personally".

This cannot be achieved simply by creating hype; it requires repeated actions, repeated rewards, and repeated successes!

Therefore, Qiu Tu was not in a hurry. Time was on his side, and he had plenty of time to gradually turn these people into his trusted confidants.

Today, however, he came to the "Execution Department" not to continue challenging the authority of the Heavy Stone God King.

On the contrary, this time he was invited by the God King of the Vast Ocean to discuss his division of labor in the "Execution Department".

Because this period has become the focus of the "Temple - West Branch", Qiu Tu has been unusually low-key.

However, Qiu Tu's status in the "Temple" is now clearly different from before. When he stepped into the branch hall of the Vast Sea God King, the Vast Sea God King's subordinate gods were already waiting outside.

Upon seeing Qiu Tu, the celestial being immediately greeted him with a smile and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty Qiu Tu, His Majesty Han Hai is waiting for you in the palace."

Qiu Tu nodded slightly and followed the celestial being into the branch hall.

Inside the branch hall, the God King of the Vast Ocean was carrying a thick tortoise shell and sorting through documents. When he saw Qiu Tu enter, he immediately put on a bright smile, "Lord Qiu Tu, you've arrived so quickly."

He already resembled the Turtle Prime Minister, and when he smiled, his wrinkled old face instantly resembled a chrysanthemum, making him look even more like him.

Although he preferred the arrogant and unruly demeanor of the Vast Ocean God King, Qiu Tu still couldn't refuse someone who was smiling. So, upon seeing this, Qiu Tu smiled and responded, then nodded slightly to the Vast Ocean God King, addressing him as, "Lord Vast Ocean invited me here, how could I dare to be negligent?"

Perhaps not expecting that Qiu Tu, who clearly had the upper hand, would now be so friendly, the God King of the Vast Ocean was visibly taken aback.

But he's a shrewd person, so he returned to normal in an instant.

Then he got straight to business.

He waved for the subordinate deity to leave, then said with a smile, "The main reason I called God King Qiu Tu here this time is to discuss your division of labor."

He seemed genuinely there to ease tensions, speaking with great sincerity and without any reservations. He said, "After the last 'God King Conference,' Lord Qiu Tu has officially joined the 'Execution Department.'"

"Therefore, we must also undertake some tasks of the 'Execution Department'."

"However, each of the deputies has their own job and has been in charge for decades. If we make a hasty change, it may cause chaos in some departments."

"So... after thinking it over, I suddenly remembered that there was a job that would be most suitable for Lord Qiu Tu."

As they spoke, the God King of the Vast Ocean led Qiu Tu to sit down and then began to place several piles of documents in front of him.

The documents were clearly from different eras; some were brand new, while others were beginning to yellow. They were stacked in a thick pile, almost half a person's height.

The God King of the Vast Ocean also mentioned, "God King Qiu Tu should have heard about the last God King meeting."

"Our 'Execution Department' will focus on infiltrating the 'Immortal Heavenly Tomb' for the next few years."

"This is an instruction from the 'Temple Headquarters'."

"The reason is that two high-ranking God-Kings from the 'Immortal Heavenly Tomb' have arrived in the 'West,' and we don't know what they're plotting."

"This work also received the full support of Her Majesty Irina Shayk, who told us that this is the most important work in recent years."

"And I have seen the information you filled out yourself, God King. Before you became a god, it seems that your greatest skill was in espionage and counter-espionage."

"This job should be a perfect fit for you."

Qiu Tu was visibly taken aback upon hearing the words of the Vast Ocean God King.

He stared intently at the God King of the Vast Ocean, trying to discern whether the God King had entrusted him with this task to deal with him, or genuinely to ease tensions...

Infiltrating the "Immortal Tomb" is indeed an extremely important task, but it is also very complex and dangerous.

Although normally Qiu Tu, as a commander, does not need to infiltrate personally, dealing with giants like high-ranking god-kings from various sources is very dangerous.

No one knows whether they might anger the other party by doing something, leading to being purged or assassinated.

However... this mission, while dangerous, also comes with huge rewards.

The mission assigned by the "Temple Headquarters" is actually... just a pretext. The only ones who can truly represent the "Temple Headquarters" are the four high-ranking God-Kings.

Therefore, if Qiu Tu can successfully complete this task, he will not only rise to the top, but will also directly enter the sights of the four giants.

The task that Qiu Tu agreed to for Shepherd God King and Chaos Witch... can very likely be completed.

So... to answer or not to answer... that is the question.

Thinking this through, Qiu Tu hesitated for a moment before finally gritting his teeth and stamping his foot to accept the offer!

The reason is simple: this opportunity is indeed very rare.

Moreover...most importantly, it allows access to the supreme secrets of the three pathways: Chaos, Order, and Immortality.

Ever since discovering the fusion of different power paths while cultivating "The Wrath of the Emperor," Qiu Tu has become curious about the secrets and powers of other paths.

A mission involving the highest levels of the three major pathways, offering a glimpse into their ultimate secrets, was a very worthwhile opportunity for Qiu Tu.

The only problem is... although he just "defeated" the Heavy Stone God King, he's actually... a bit all bark and no bite.

For a level two god-king like him to safely complete this kind of infiltration mission is still a bit of a stretch...

'If... Zehime could come back and help me...'

.....

Meanwhile, chaos reigns in the western capital.

The cave where the God King Wutian hid.

At this point... there was no cave left; even the mountain had been completely leveled...

Zhao Ji stood there covered in blood, half of her body was blackened, and the long sword in her hand, which had some spiritual power, was broken into pieces. She looked extremely miserable.

However... the corpse of the God King Wutian lay at her feet with its eyes wide open, giving the impression of dying with its eyes wide open in disbelief...

However, Zhao Ji's heart was not with him at all.

Zhao Ji glanced down at the shattered sword lying on the ground, a hint of regret flashing in her eyes.

'I originally wanted to give this to Qiu Tu... what a pity.'

Chapter 787 Larilu: I Can Control Zehime (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Perhaps sensing her sister's regret, Lariro, deep within her soul, tilted her head, her scarlet eyes gleaming.

As a sister of Zehime, she may be a bit silly, but she's not stupid.

Especially as an evil god who governs the "life-reproduction" pathway, she is incredibly sensitive to the emotions between men and women.

To some extent, she was the first to realize that her sister was interested in Qiu Tu, which is why she kept trying to bring the two of them together.

Seeing her sister looking down at the long sword, she suddenly had some guesses in her mind again.

Her eyes darted around, as if she were plotting some wicked idea.

After a moment, she said with a grin, "Sister, you seem to regret that sword."

Zhao Ji clearly didn't understand what La Ri Luo was up to.

Hearing Larilu's words, she didn't think much of it, but said in a cool tone, "It is a bit of a pity."

“I have been nurturing this sword for a long time.”

"All enemies who have fallen to me have met their end with this sword."

"You should know that the enemies I can personally kill are all ordinary gods, all of them are gods or above."

"The gods themselves represent the 'rules of the world,' and slaying them signifies the destruction and reshaping of those 'rules of the world.' Therefore, over time, this sword naturally acquired certain aspects of those rules of the world and developed a spiritual nature."

At this point, Zhao Ji paused for a moment before continuing, "And regardless of whether it's a living being or an object, once it receives the enhancement of the 'World Rules,' it undergoes a qualitative change, far surpassing its peers."

In human terms, this sword has become a "divine weapon."

Although Zhao Ji was explaining things to La Ri Luo in great detail, La Ri Luo was just babbling on and on, completely unable to understand a word.

Because what she cared about was not the sword at all.

So she looked at Zhao Ji, and then said with a smile, "Sister, but... if I remember correctly, you never seem to care about weapons, right?"

"After all... you have absolute confidence in your own strength and never care about the quality of weapons."

"Because... for you, everything can become a weapon."

At this point, Larilu paused, then a mischievous smile appeared on her face. "So, sister... who is this longsword of yours for?"

Upon hearing Lariel's words, Zehime: ....

Perhaps not expecting Larilu to be so perceptive, Zehime was momentarily speechless.

What's even more troublesome is that... Zehime is currently controlling Lariel's body. The two sisters share one body. Zehime can't even discipline Lariel if she wanted to.

So, after a moment of silence, she decided to ignore Lariro.

However, her desire to ignore Lariluo does not mean that Lariluo wants to let her go.

Deep within her soul, Larilu, swaying her smooth, jade-like little feet, said with a grin, "Let me guess."

"Sister, you prepared this long sword for Qiu Tu, didn't you?"

"After all, among those you're closest to, and... who also wields a sword, it seems like Qiu Tu is the only one, right?"

When Larilu exposed her secret, Zehime paused slightly again.

But who is she? She is the powerful and domineering Consort Zhao.

So she simply said coldly, "Think what you want."

As she spoke, she beckoned the corpse of the God King Wu Tian on the ground into her hand, preparing to put it into her storage treasure.

The "Boundless Divine Crystal" of a God-King level being, especially a fourth-level God-King, is a true treasure. Whether used for cultivation or physical recovery, its effects are extremely powerful. It cannot be wasted.

If it were anyone else, seeing Zhao Ji like this, they would most likely have backed down.

But Larilu is different. This little goofball loves walking on high-voltage power lines.

Therefore, seeing Zhao Ji's obvious attempt to conceal something, her smile widened even more.

She continued wiggling her little feet, then said, "Sister, if you like Qiu Tu, just say so."

"We're like sisters, inseparable."

"I wouldn't mind sharing Qiu Tu with you."

"At worst, we can each call each other our own thing. You can call him brother-in-law, and I'll call him sister-in-law."

Zehime: ? ? ?

To be honest, for a moment, Zhao Ji could hardly tell whether La Ri Luo wanted to infuriate her or to make Qiu Tu feel good.

Each side has its own interpretation? Brother-in-law? Sister's husband?

Knowing Qiu Tu as Zhao Ji does, if Qiu Tu knew about this good thing, wouldn't he be overjoyed?

Thinking this, Zhao Ji really wished she could break the fusion right now, then drag La Ri Luo out and give her a sword.

I wasn't an emotional person in my past life, so how come the person I split off from is so love-obsessed!

However, considering that Larilu had been very cooperative with him during this time and had never caused any trouble, he thought about how she had been able to do so.

So after hesitating for a moment, Zehime finally decided to... simply block Lahiro's conversation with her.

However, just as Zeki blocked her contact with Lariro, what she didn't notice was that... after Lariro, whose soul had been extended, noticed Zeki's actions, a sly smile appeared on her face.

She looked at the small magic circle that imprisoned her soul, her expression somewhat inscrutable.

Only after confirming that Zhao Ji was not observing her did La Rilu whisper to herself,

"Sister...you don't think that you're the only one who's grown up these past few days, do you?"

After speaking, Larilu raised her hand slightly, and the next second, a "soul isolation" magic circle similar to the one set up by Zhao Ji slowly appeared on her body... or rather, on her soul.

Then Larilu spread her legs and playfully teased him.

Meanwhile, Zhao Ji, who was controlling La Ri Luo's body outside, was walking normally without any reaction or expression.
