Then let them offer their loyalty!

Therefore, a standard appearance like Qiu Tu's is rare even among male god kings.

Thinking about this, Qing'e couldn't help but recall what Elena had just said: "Qiu Tu is more open-minded than her."

So... Qiu Tu was touched by Lady Elena?

Thinking of this, Qing'e's gaze involuntarily drifted down to Qiu Tu's lower body.

At this moment, Qiu Tu, perhaps noticing Qing'e's gaze, glanced up at her. Seeing nothing amiss, he continued his report to Elena.

"My lord, I have come here to report important intelligence."

Elena had just emerged from the wine pool in the back hall, and she still clearly carried the smell of alcohol and a languid feeling.

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, she lazily raised her hand and said, "Speak. What is it?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu cupped his hands and said, "I have already investigated what the three giants of the 'Immortal Heavenly Tomb' have been doing during this time."

As Qiu Tu spoke, the entire hall fell silent.

Elena paused slightly, then turned to look at Qing'e standing beside her, a half-smile playing on her lips.

Qing'e was still reeling from Qiu Tu's explosive news. Sensing Elena's gaze, she snapped out of her reverie, blushing slightly as she looked at Qiu Tu and asked, "You've already obtained information about what the 'Immortal Trio' have been doing lately?"

"But...you haven't left the 'Kingdom of Dionysus' during this time."

Qing'e's words were actually somewhat inappropriate. After all, it implied that she had been keeping a close eye on Qiu Tu's movements.

But Qiu Tu didn't care.

Whether Qing'e pays attention to him or not is actually not important, after all... even if Qing'e doesn't pay attention, Elena can pay attention anytime.

Being in someone else's kingdom means there are no secrets.

Therefore, Qiu Tu looked at Qing'e with no change in expression and said with a smile, "Goddess Qing'e, it is not necessary to go out to obtain information."

"I can also send people out to gather intelligence, or bring key witnesses back to the 'Land of Dionysus,' can't I?"

In this situation, Qing'e shouldn't have spoken in the first place. So when she heard Qiu Tu's question, she immediately shut her mouth and dared not utter another word.

Seeing this, Elena immediately tried to smooth things over.

She reclined gracefully on her divine throne, a serpentine golden crown entwined around her deep purple hair, and spoke slowly and languidly, "Then, God King Qiu Tu, tell me what information you have obtained."

As she spoke, she lightly ran her fingertips, painted with burgundy nail polish, across her full lips, the curve of her lips carrying a hint of intoxication and a touch of allure.

'This fairy....'

It must be said that Elena is indeed a bewitching enchantress who can easily arouse people's desires.

Even though she did nothing, and even though she was dressed relatively conservatively today—only revealing her deep cleavage that could bury Qiu Tu's face in—she could still easily ignite the flames in Qiu Tu's heart.

To be honest, if Larilu had used such methods last night, Qiu Tu would have surrendered long ago. He wouldn't have been able to control her so easily.

After silently marveling at Elena's charm, Qiu Tu pulled himself together and began to recount the information he had obtained from King Gutian and the Chaos Witch.

It must be said that Gu Tian Shen Wang, as a confidant of Di Hun Shen Wang, one of the "Three Immortal Giants," possessed a very comprehensive understanding of various information. More importantly, all of this information could corroborate each other.

So, after Qiu Tu slowly and methodically finished recounting all the information, not only Elena, but even Qing'e, who had always been somewhat skeptical of Qiu Tu, immediately believed him.

Because the information Qiu Tu provided was too detailed and too comprehensive.

However, this also raises a new question: Where did Qiu Tu obtain this intelligence?

Don't forget, the most serious accusation Qiu Tu received from high-level officials some time ago was that he was a spy.

But now it seems... Qiu Tu's source is indeed a bit suspicious.

Thinking this, Qing'e couldn't help but look down at Elena, wanting to see what Elena's attitude was and how she planned to probe Qiu Tu's source of information.

But to everyone's surprise, Elena did not play by the rules at all.

She looked at Qiu Tu and actually asked directly, "God King Qiu Tu, the information you've provided is indeed very interesting and important."

"Those high-ranking God-Kings of the 'Immortal Heavenly Tomb' are actually trying to forcibly change the attributes of the next era."

"Their specific progress is also very important."

"But...where did you get this information? Is it reliable?"

Upon hearing Elena's words, Qiu Tu didn't mince words and directly stated, "This information comes from a core god-king of the 'Immortal Heavenly Tomb'."

“I sent someone to arrest him, interrogate him, and obtain relevant intelligence.”

As for whether the intelligence is reliable...

Qiu Tu stated bluntly, "I can only say that, with my methods and catastrophic capabilities, I can guarantee that what he said is 100% true."

"But whether his information is complete or not is unclear."

"Therefore, Your Majesty will need to analyze the specifics yourself."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Elena gave him a deep look, but then said nothing.

She rested her chin on her hand, closed her eyes, and fell into deep thought, as if she were sorting through Qiu Tu's intelligence and judging its authenticity.

Elena remained silent, and the entire hall fell silent for a moment.

Qiu Tu stood there with his hands at his sides, while Qing'e's bright eyes secretly scrutinized him, as if trying to ascertain what abilities Qiu Tu possessed to complete the task so quickly and well.

This result was completely unexpected.

Just then, as she was thinking this, Elena suddenly opened her eyes. Her eyes were unusually clear, without a trace of drunkenness.

She looked at Qing'e beside her and said, "Summon the God King Chongshi and the God King Hanhai."

Upon hearing Elena's words, Qing'e quickly bowed in response, then hurried out of the hall to contact the two god-kings.

As Elena's confidante, she understood that Elena's reaction meant she trusted Qiu Tu and his intelligence. Now, she was preparing to summon two high-ranking officials from the "Execution Department" to hear the intelligence, supplement the details, and then formally report it to those four high-ranking figures...

.....

Coincidentally, when Qing'e's message was received, the Heavy Stone God King and the Vast Ocean God King were also chatting about Qiu Tu.

The God King of the Vast Ocean stroked his goatee and said thoughtfully, "It seems that Qiu Tu went to see Lady Elena."

Upon hearing this, the Heavy Stone God King exclaimed "Oh?" and looked at him, asking, "Why would he go to see Elena so late at night?"

A thoughtful look appeared in the eyes of the Vast Ocean God King, who then speculated, "Perhaps... he wants to shirk this task?"

"Shifting the blame?" Muttering the words of the Vast Ocean God King, the Heavy Stone God King's eyes were thoughtful, as if he was considering whether the Vast Ocean God King's deduction was reasonable.

After a moment, he shook his head slightly and then said, "That's not right."

"Although, gathering information about the 'Immortal Trinity' is indeed quite difficult and challenging."

"But this task was issued to the 'West Branch' by those few individuals."

"If Qiu Tu doesn't do it, someone else will have to."

"So, his visit to Elena had no effect other than making Elena think he was useless."

At this point, the Heavy Stone God King paused, then said with a deep gaze, "Qiu Tu shouldn't be that unwise."

The words of the Heavy Stone God King were reasonable and well-founded, so upon hearing them, the Vast Ocean God King also fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he guessed again, "Could it be... that Qiu Tu went to Elena for support and to call for reinforcements?"

"He found the task difficult and struggled to handle it on his own, so he hoped Elena could offer him some assistance?"

This guess was more reasonable and well-founded than the previous one, so after pondering for a moment, the Heavy Stone God King couldn't help but nod slightly.

However, despite agreeing with the Sea God King's guess, the Heavy Stone God King still felt uneasy.

Perhaps because he had been in direct conflict with Qiu Tu all this time, he felt he was starting to understand Qiu Tu better and better.

Qiu Tu is definitely not a simple person.

To put it nicely, that guy is cunning and shrewd; to put it bluntly, he's full of bad intentions.

If it were really that easy for him to do something, then I wouldn't have suffered so many setbacks before.

'I have a feeling... like something bad is happening...'

Just then, as the Heavy Stone God King was thinking this, a paper crane suddenly flew in from outside, tracing a graceful arc.

As the paper crane approached the two, it gently flapped its wings and then spoke in a clear, melodious voice, "Lord Chongshi, Lord Hanhai, Her Majesty Elena invites you."

This is Qing'e's unique communication tool—the teleporting paper crane.

These paper cranes can not only teleport instantly within the same world, but also penetrate world barriers to travel to other worlds, making them a very powerful communication-type artifact.

Upon hearing Qing'e's words, the Heavy Stone God King and the Vast Ocean God King exchanged a glance, both sensing something amiss in each other's eyes: Qiu Tu had just left, and Elena was already looking for them? What were Elena and Qiu Tu up to?

However, because there were so few clues, they nodded in agreement despite having many doubts.

The God-King's flying speed is very fast.

And so, very quickly, the two arrived at the main hall of the "God of Wine Kingdom".

Qing'e was already waiting at the door to greet the two of them.

Upon seeing Qing'e, the God of Heavy Stone gave the God of Vast Ocean a wink. The God of Vast Ocean stepped forward in tacit agreement, then chuckled and cupped his hands in a salute, saying, "Goddess Qing'e, may I ask what brings Lady Elena to summon us so late at night?"

Having served as Elena's assistant and dealt with the heads of various departments for so many years, Qing'e certainly knew the appropriate level of tact in answering this kind of question.

So she smiled and revealed a crucial but not so important piece of information: "It's related to the mission of God King Qiu Tu."

Upon hearing Qing'e's words, the two god-kings, Chongshi and Hanhai, exchanged a glance, both understanding from each other's eyes: it was indeed related to the mission of "Immortal Heavenly Tomb".

Thinking this way, they felt a little more at ease, and then followed Qing'e into the main hall.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the main hall, before they could even stand still, Qiu Tu's voice came from inside, "Your Majesty, I think the matter of infiltrating the 'Immortal Heavenly Tomb' still needs careful consideration."

“Send those gods who have attained the ‘Immortal Path’ there. Leaving aside their willingness, if we force them to go, won't they simply defect to the ‘Immortal Heavenly Tomb’?”

"We'll only discuss the methods of the 'Immortal Heavenly Tomb.'"

"The 'Immortal Heavenly Tomb' is a place of oppressive rule implemented from top to bottom."

"They have a whole set of high-pressure tactics to make it easy for them to control their subordinates."

"Therefore, I don't believe our people, under these circumstances, would still be loyal to us even after going to the 'Immortal Heavenly Tomb.' They wouldn't risk being discovered and perishing to continue transmitting intelligence to us."

"Moreover... once they join the 'Immortal Heavenly Tomb,' they'll definitely only be at the very bottom."

"By the time they climb up, it will be a long time, and by then it might be too late."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the Heavy Stone God King and the Vast Ocean God King at the entrance of the main hall exchanged a glance, both seeing relief in each other's eyes.

It seems... Qiu Tu came to see Elena today, indeed, to shirk his mission.

In that case, everything becomes much easier.

With that thought in mind, the two of them, accompanied by Qing'e, stepped into the main hall.

Upon seeing the two enter, Qiu Tu and Elena automatically stopped talking.

The two approached Qiu Tu, bowed to Elena, glanced at Qiu Tu, and finally asked.

"Is Lady Elena discussing with God-King Qiu Tu about planting spies in the 'Immortal Heavenly Tomb'?" asked the Heavy Stone God-King.

Elena, seated on her throne, nodded slightly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Seeing that Elena had agreed, and considering Qiu Tu's words just now, the God King of the Vast Ocean immediately knew what he had to do.

He looked at Qiu Tu, then said with a smile, "God King Qiu Tu, the decision to plant spies in the 'Immortal Heavenly Tomb' to gather intelligence was made by the high-ranking God Kings."

"Moreover, when I assigned this task to you, I also asked for your opinion, and you did not object."

"Now, you've come to see Lady Elena, is there a problem? Why didn't you discuss it with me and the Heavy Stone God King beforehand?"

As the strategist of the Heavy Stone God King's small group, the Vast Ocean God King was well aware of the art of speaking.

Although through analysis and Qiu Tu's earlier words, he was certain that Qiu Tu had come tonight to complain to Elena or shirk his mission.

However, he didn't state his position directly. Instead, he first clarified the importance of the mission, and then questioned Qiu Tu and brought up the topic by citing Qiu Tu's bypassing of his superiors to report the matter.

If it were an ordinary god-king, he would probably feel a bit awkward at this point and start trying to smooth things over.

But is Qiu Tu just an ordinary god-king?

Hearing the words of the Vast Ocean God King, Qiu Tu's face was full of indifference. He waved his hand and then said, "Vast Ocean God King, it's not that I'm unwilling to communicate with you. It's that you can't make the decision on this matter."
