Chapter 788 Lariluo: Sister, your happiness depends on me (Last 20 hours of the lottery)

Although Zehime was keenly aware of her sister's condition, she clearly did not know what her sister was "shouting" from the depths of her soul.

So, she inadvertently misunderstood her sister's thoughts. Or perhaps... this was actually her own inner thought...

Her expression remained unchanged, but deep within her soul, she spoke to Larilu, "Don't rush."

"Just as you want to see Qiu Tu, he definitely wants to see you too."

"But...the important thing is to focus on the important business."

To be honest, such comforting words don't really sound like something Zehime would say.

So when Larilu heard what Zhao Ji said, she was even a little stunned. Then, a playful smile appeared on her face, and she chuckled.

At this moment, Zhao Ji probably realized that she had said too much and made a mistake, so she immediately composed herself.

However, she wasn't the type to explain things, so after setting up a restrictive magic circle on Lariro deep within her soul, she pretended that nothing had happened.

Seeing Zhao Ji's obvious attempt to cover up her blunder, La Ri Luo's lips practically stretched to her ears in a wide grin.

As a loyal fan of her sister and Qiu Tuzhong's CP (couple pairing), her favorite thing to do is, of course, to bring the two together.

In recent years, she has always taken this as her responsibility.

Now that everything is finally making progress and her sister is starting to get more and more impatient, she is naturally overjoyed.

'Hehe. Sister, oh sister...'

'It seems your happiness still depends on me!'

If Lariluo in the past only hoped to bring Zhao Ji and Qiu Tu together, then Lariluo now has the ability to take concrete action.

She believed that the initiative was now in her hands.

With just a little trickery, the two of them will be completely together...

As for the waiting time now...

Perhaps because she had discovered Zehime's little scheme, Larilu no longer cared.

So she sat deep within her soul, swaying her smooth, jade-like little feet, humming a song, waiting for the day she would return to the "Land of the God of Wine".

However, perhaps because being alone gives one so much time to think about things, it's also a good exercise. Anyway... La Ri Luo sat there and couldn't help but start thinking about Qiu Tu's purpose in finding Zhao Ji.

'They want to capture a God-King who has achieved immortality? And a spy from the "Immortal Heavenly Tomb"?'

'Why did Qiu Tu capture that God-King from that path?'

'Does the Temple of Order intend to take action against the Immortal Tomb?'

"But during this time, I've heard the gods of the Chaotic Western Capital talk about how the gods and god-kings of the Immortal Path are all lunatics."

'Won't Qiu Tu get himself into trouble by doing this?'

.......

Meanwhile, in the Dionysian Kingdom, at the main hall of the Executive Department.

The Heavy Stone God King and the Vast Ocean God King were also discussing this matter.

Having just experienced the setbacks of the previous two days, the Heavy Stone God King's aura became even more stable and restrained.

His race was originally connected to the earth in some way, and now that his aura had become more concentrated, he suddenly felt like an indestructible stone wall.

He sat regally on his throne, silently gazing at the God King of the Vast Sea, then spoke in deep thought, "Assigning the task of infiltrating the 'Immortal Heavenly Tomb' to Qiu Tu was a brilliant move."

"He's now attracting more and more attention within the 'Execution Department' and even the 'Temple-West Branch'."

"Even if he always acts very respectful and low-key, so many eyes are watching him. His every move will still have a huge impact on us."

"So...why not just send him out on a mission?"

"After a while, his popularity will drop, and naturally he won't have any more impact on us."

Upon hearing the words of the Heavy Stone God King, the Vast Ocean God King chuckled and said, "What Your Majesty said is exactly what I was thinking."

"Everyone thinks they are the protagonist of this world, but in reality... every now and then a new protagonist appears."

"You've led the 'Execution Department' for over a century, witnessing countless rising stars emerge and dominate the scene."

"But in the end... didn't they all become fleeting shooting stars?"

What the Vast Ocean God King said was true. Over the years, the Heavy Stone God King had encountered several God Kings who challenged his position. Some were instigated by others, while others were simply gifted with great talent, but... without exception, none of them succeeded.

However... Qiu Tu's situation is clearly different.

To possess a "natal divine skill" at the level of a second-level god-king means that as long as one survives, one will at least become a guardian god-king.

So... even though he knew that the Vast Ocean God King was trying to comfort him, the Heavy Stone God King still smiled and shook his head, saying frankly, "Qiu Tu is different from other God Kings."

"For the next few centuries, he will likely be in charge of the 'Execution Department,' and even the 'Western Branch.'"

At this point, the Heavy Stone God King paused for a moment, then continued, "I only hope that I can advance to the fifth-level God King before he fully matures."

"At that time, I won't have to grovel before him."

The words of the Heavy Stone God King were clearly tinged with melancholy, and the Vast Ocean God King, as his old partner, could not help but empathize with them.

So he hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Actually... Your Majesty doesn't need to be so pessimistic."

"It's still uncertain whether he can become the Guardian God King."

Upon hearing the words of the Vast Ocean God King, the Heavy Stone God King hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand to interrupt him, "Alright. Don't say things that are detrimental to unity."

"We are all part of the 'Temple of Order.' If the 'Temple' can give birth to another Guardian God-King, or even... a High-Ranking God-King, it would be a good thing for us."

The words of the Heavy Stone God King caused the Vast Ocean God King to momentarily lose his composure, almost thinking he had misheard.

Although the Heavy Stone God King was always mindful of the big picture and understood the bigger picture, he was not the kind of person who would even "bless" his enemies.

This is completely unlike the style of the Heavy Stone God King.

Upon realizing this, the God King of the Vast Ocean was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly understood.

It wasn't that the Heavy Stone God King truly didn't speak ill of his enemies behind their backs, but rather... his plan was too taboo. He had already seen through it, so he didn't want to expose it and tarnish his own reputation.

This plan ends with him. Even if problems arise later, it has nothing to do with him.

Thinking this, the Vast Ocean God King couldn't help but look up and give the Heavy Stone God King a deep look.

Sure enough, the Heavy Stone God King was looking down at him with a sinister gaze, as if carrying endless warnings.

Upon seeing this, the God King of the Vast Ocean couldn't help but break out in a light sweat.

Clearly, he had somewhat forgotten that the Heavy Stone God-King's current position was not solely due to his strength. During his centuries-long tenure in charge of the "Execution Department," the Heavy Stone God-King had employed extremely ruthless methods.

Many god-kings died directly or indirectly at his hands.

However, in recent years, because his rule has become more and more stable, he has not revealed his methods.

As for his little trick, it was nothing more than a trivial skill to him.

How could he not know that the reason he assigned the task of infiltrating the "Immortal Heavenly Tomb" to Qiu Tu was not only to get rid of Qiu Tu, but also to use him as a tool to kill someone else?

From the very beginning, when the "Immortal Heavenly Tomb" mission was assigned, both the Vast Ocean God King and the Heavy Stone God King knew it would be a difficult task.

The reason is simple: a mission assigned by the four giants of the "Temple of Order" is definitely not a simple mission.

And since it involves the three high-ranking God-Kings of the "Immortal Heavenly Tomb," it becomes even more dangerous.

You should know that... offending a high-ranking god-king from another source will at most result in death.

However, offending the three high-ranking god-kings of the "Immortal Heavenly Tomb" sometimes makes even death a luxury.

Having studied "death" before, they have countless ways to make a person wish they were dead.

Therefore, when this task came into the hands of the Heavy Stone God King and the Vast Ocean God King, it was a hot potato.

If things go wrong, they might be targeted by the three giants of the "Immortal Heavenly Tomb." They could very well be entangled with each other in the future.

Of course, as members of the "temple", they still have a basic sense of responsibility. Although they felt it was difficult, they did not think of not doing it.

Instead, they were trying to find a way to have the best of both worlds.

However, at this time, Qiu Tu shone brightly at the "God King Conference".

Just then, the two of them thought of entrusting this task to Qiu Tu.

This shows both their high regard for Qiu Tu and their desire to see if they can use the "Immortal Heavenly Tomb" to eliminate Qiu Tu.

After all, in their view, Qiu Tu didn't have much of a foundation in the "Temple." If he wanted to infiltrate the "Immortal Heavenly Tomb," he could only choose from the existing "Immortal Path" deities in the "Execution Department," or let his confidants fall into the "Immortal Path."

Regardless of the type, the likelihood of it being exposed in the "Immortal Heavenly Tomb" is not low.

More importantly... even if these spies weren't exposed, couldn't the Sea God King and the Heavy Stone God King help expose them?

It's important to understand that the "Immortal Heavenly Tomb" is the most oppressive of the six major powers. It not only has various rules and regulations, but is also extremely strict internally.

Once someone is suspected, they won't care whether you're innocent or not; they'll start interrogating you right away.

They didn't even conduct an investigation before starting the interrogation. There's absolutely no regard for human rights.

Once it is discovered that this spy is connected to Qiu Tu, given the Immortal God King's vengeful nature, he will surely hold a grudge against Qiu Tu.

At that time, this troublesome matter will entangle Qiu Tu.

And all of this... might only require a tiny leak of information.

Generally speaking, no one would care about such a small leak of information.

However... this is not without risk.

It's important to understand that Qiu Tu is not an ordinary God-King, but a God-King with the potential to become a high-level God-King.

A god-king of this level has countless trump cards up his sleeve. If this plan fails and is discovered by the enemy, it could pose a huge threat to the future.

The Heavy Stone God King clearly did not want to take this risk.

That's why he stopped the God King of the Vast Ocean from continuing.

As long as the God King of the Vast Ocean doesn't make things clear, then he'll be completely unaware of everything, and even if the truth eventually comes out, it will be difficult to implicate him.

Of course, this also means that all the dangers are now concentrated on the Sea God King.

'That guy, Chongshi...'

He silently grumbled a few words in his heart, but the God King of the Vast Ocean could not bring himself to say any reproach.

After all... he did it on his own initiative, and the Heavy Stone God King was unaware of it at first.

Even if the Heavy Stone God King later guessed his purpose and wanted to go with the flow, it's understandable that he didn't want to be dragged into it.

However... she had only made this plan for the sake of the Heavy Stone God King. She had given him her whole heart, but he had washed his hands of everything more cleanly than anyone else, which inevitably made the Vast Ocean God King feel somewhat sad.

Just then, the Heavy Stone God King spoke again.

As if guessing what the God King of the Vast Ocean was thinking, he took the initiative to speak, "Vast Ocean... some things are enough for one person to handle."

"If everyone gets dragged down, then there's no one left to save the day..."

Upon hearing the words of the Heavy Stone God King, the Vast Ocean God King's expression hardened, and he immediately understood the meaning behind the Heavy Stone God King's words.

At this moment, the Heavy Stone God-King added, "Furthermore... don't always overthink things. Everything we do is for the 'Temple'."

At this point, the Heavy Stone God King paused for a moment and added, "Don't forget, Qiu Tu's identity hasn't been verified yet."

His gray eyes gleamed slightly. "Although Zhuxing is a bit cunning and treacherous, he always speaks and acts with purpose."

"Since he is so certain that Qiu Tu's identity is questionable, then Qiu Tu is very likely to actually be in question."

"Moreover, he also produced evidence and clues."

"So, this isn't over yet..."

Upon hearing this, the God-King of the Vast Ocean was first taken aback, then a look of realization appeared on his face. "Your Majesty means..."

"Using the circumstances surrounding his selection and placement of spies, we can turn around and test him?"

The Heavy Stone God King nodded slightly. "I'm not afraid of him doing things, I'm afraid of him not doing anything."

"Only by making him do more things can his problems be exposed."

"I've always had doubts about his identity..."
