After receiving a hint of consent from Jasmine, Qiu Tu finally left Jasmine's room satisfied.
It must be said that Jasmine was quite dedicated as a spy.
Even though her identity had already been exposed, she still maintained her "green tea" image and obediently escorted Qiu Tu to the courtyard gate.
Standing at the gate of the courtyard, she smoothed her chestnut hair, looked down, then looked up at Qiu Tu with her big, watery almond-shaped eyes, and then pouted and said softly, "Brother, when you go to Sister Xiaola's for dinner tonight, don't eat too much, okay?"
"If you eat too much and feel stuffed, people will feel sorry for you."
Qiu Tu: ....
Although Jasmine's words were teasy and sweet, Qiu Tu could sense a murderous intent between the lines: When you're on La Ri Luo, be gentle with her. If you hurt her, I'll kill you.
Automatically imagining these lewd words, Qiu Tu gave a perfunctory, fake smile and left Jasmine's courtyard without looking back.
Although Jasmine has not harmed Qiu Tu so far, and she usually behaves very rationally without the eccentricities of the "Chaotic Path," she is, after all, one of the giants standing at the pinnacle of the world. And since Qiu Tu has just provoked her, it's best to push her a little harder.
At this moment, watching Qiu Tu's fleeing figure, Jasmine's expression turned cold, and her originally watery almond eyes began to freeze, filled with chill.
She snorted coldly at Qiu Tu's retreating figure before turning back to her own courtyard.
Back in her courtyard, Jasmine went into her room, sat down, and remained motionless like a statue, clearly pondering the information Qiu Tu had given her.
Perhaps because her nature still belongs to the "chaotic path", even with maids tidying up, her room is still messy, which also causes her room to be filled with twisted shadows when the sunlight shines in.
Those shadows, as if parasitic on the light, constantly twisted their tentacles, trying to extend outwards.
Jasmine was in that world where light and shadow intersected, like a statue.
After an unknown amount of time, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her thoughts slowly returned.
She seemed to have gone out to exchange some information with someone; a hint of realization appeared in her almond-shaped eyes, and her face became more serious.
'So that's how it is....'
'It seems... the whole world is about to descend into chaos...'
Thinking this, she seemed to remember something else, and her beautiful brows furrowed slightly.
Chaos, order, destruction, mystery, and immortality all converge. Could the Virgin Mary of Life also come to the West?
'If she comes to the West and meets Lariello, that would be troublesome.'
'We still need to think of a way...'
As Jasmine's thoughts drifted, the jagged shadows in the room, mingling with the sunlight, twisted and twitched silently, appearing exceptionally eerie...
.....
After finishing his business with Jasmine, Qiu Tu still didn't rush to the "Execution Department" to meet with the gods and god kings.
Instead, he chose to use the inter-world communication artifact given to him by Baiyi to contact Baiyi and discuss the "Immortal Trio" and the exchange of prisoners.
With Jasmine's approval, the exchange went very smoothly.
Qiu Tu didn't say anything, only that "before communicating with Baiyi, I discussed it with Moli and wanted her to fill in any gaps in his plan, and Moli had no objections." After a little thought, Baiyi agreed to the exchange of prisoners.
Of course, when talking with Bai Yi, Qiu Tu also mentioned the matter of "Destroying Tyrant".
Perhaps because Qiu Tu provided information about the "Immortal Trio," Bai Yi didn't hold back and told everyone about the "Destruction Tyrant."
Because Bai Yi was one of the parties involved in this matter, he obviously had much more information than the outside world.
According to Baiyi, the "Destruction Tyrant" did come for his daughter, "Princess Star and Moon," but... there must be other purposes besides that.
Because his daughter, "Princess Star and Moon," came to "Chaotic Western Capital" this time, which was already a bit strange.
According to the "Path of Destruction" faction native to "Chaotic Western Capital," Princess Xingyue came to see them ostensibly to consolidate their power and bring them back to the "Royal Court of Destruction."
However... these forces have existed in the "Chaotic Western Capital" for so many years. Princess Xingyue didn't come to offer amnesty earlier or later, but suddenly did so during this turbulent time, which clearly indicates that she has other motives.
Because they were worried that Princess Xingyue's actions were too dangerous and would use the other forces as cannon fodder, the other forces did not agree immediately, but instead used the tactic of "delaying".
As it turned out, this enraged Princess Xingyue.
"Destruction Path" is inherently volatile, and Princess Xingyue, being the daughter of the Destruction Tyrant, is deeply loved and even more domineering.
In her view, taking over these smaller factions was already a favor. But instead of immediately bowing down and kissing her toes, these smaller factions hesitated and delayed?
As a result, some verbal conflicts broke out between the two sides, which escalated into a fight. In the end, for some unknown reason, it escalated further and eventually developed into the current situation.
The whole incident was triggered by Princess Xingyue's desire to recruit these forces and plot something in the "West".
Therefore, Baiyi guessed that although the "Chaos Tyrant" was most likely here to avenge his daughter, he must have another purpose: to continue his schemes.
After hearing all the information from the man in white, Qiu Tu's brows furrowed slowly...
To be honest, this was the first time Qiu Tu had heard the whole story from an outsider's perspective.
However, it must be said that this is indeed somewhat different from what Qiu Tu saw with his own eyes, as well as the clues he learned from Zhao Ji and other people.
Furthermore... Qiu Tu discovered several suspicious points about this matter.
'Something's not right...something's not right...'
'There seems to be something fishy about this whole thing.'
However, because there are too few clues at the moment, Qiu Tu has no way to verify his conjecture.
Therefore, after hanging up the communication, Qiu Tu's gaze couldn't help but turn towards Zhao Ji, who was still advancing in the ranks, and he murmured to himself,
'I hope it's not what I'm thinking.'
'If that's really the case, then things will get complicated...'
'However, we still need to wait until Zhao Ji emerges from seclusion and confirm a few details with her before we can be certain of my conjecture.....'
Thinking this, Qiu Tu slowly came back to his senses.
After agreeing on a time to exchange hostages with Bai Yi, Qiu Tu hung up the communication with Bai Yi.
He sat quietly for a while, then shook his head slightly and sighed, "These are truly turbulent times..."
"Forget it, let's go and find all the moles in the 'Execution Department' first."
After saying that, Qiu Tu walked towards the "Execution Department," while a few doubts lingered in his mind:
'Am I some kind of jinx reincarnated? Why does chaos erupt wherever I go?'
However, Qiu Tu's greatest strength is that he never engages in internal strife; he only causes internal strife among others.
Therefore, he immediately dismissed the idea as soon as it came to mind.
'No, no, it definitely isn't me. If there's a jinx, it should be Lady Sohime.'
'Her two lifetimes combined amount to only twenty or thirty years. Wherever she goes, chaos follows.'
'I am the savior, here to save her and this world!'
'Yes, that's it!'
Meanwhile, in Qiu Tu's bedroom, Zhao Ji, who had advanced to a state of ethereal clarity, felt a stirring in her mind, as if sensing something, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.
However, after a moment, her expression turned serious, and she let out a soft hum, then began to focus all her energy on advancing again!
.....
at the same time.
Just as Qiu Tu was walking towards the "Execution Department," preparing to catch the mole,
Something seems to be happening in the "Execution Department" at this time.
The dozen or so gods and god-kings who had just finished their meeting this morning were gathered in a large hall by the God-King of the Vast Ocean, where they were chatting away like they were in a marketplace.
One of them, with a long, narrow face and pockmarked features resembling a god-king from the moon, greeted the god-king beside him and asked with a surprised expression,
"God King Qiufeng, Lord Hanhai actually summoned you as well?"
Upon hearing the greeting from the god-king with the long, narrow face, the god-king as thin as a willow branch nodded slightly, a thoughtful look in his eyes, before asking,
"God King Shengyue, you actually came too?"
His gaze sharpened slightly before he asked, "Has something unusual happened?"
Upon hearing Qiu Feng's words, Sheng Yue's pockmarked face wrinkled involuntarily. He said with some doubt, "I haven't heard anything about it."
At this point, as if he had just realized something, a look of realization dawned on his eyes, and he whispered, "Do you think... it might be related to Qiu Tu?"
"Is it related to Qiu Tu?" Qiu Feng, the God-King, had two long whiskers at the corners of his mouth. Hearing Sheng Yue's words, he reached out and twirled one of his whiskers before asking, "What does this have to do with Qiu Tu?"
Seeing that Qiu Feng God King truly didn't know, Sheng Yue God King quickly leaned closer and whispered, "Hey. You definitely haven't been paying attention to the recent developments within the 'Execution Department'."
"Qiu Tu has gained Lady Elena's support and is now seizing power."
"He held a meeting for us today and made some arrangements, didn't he?"
Qiu Feng, the God-King, recalled the strange meeting that morning and nodded slightly.
The Divine King Shengyue said with a smile, "Don't you think something was a little off back then?"
"Lord Chongshi isn't here, and Lord Hanhai is practically a figurehead. The entire 'Execution Department' seems to have undergone a regime change, with Qiu Tu now in charge."
Qiu Feng, the God-King, nodded slightly again, seemingly lost in thought.
As someone who could become a God-King, especially the God-King of Order, he was naturally adept at scheming. Therefore, having obtained so much information, he had pieced together almost everything.
A look of realization dawned on his face, and he said, "So...you mean...after Qiu Tu made his move, now it's Lord Han Hai's turn to attack Qiu Tu?"
"And we are their first targets for unification?"
The God-King of Shengyue gave him a "you're teachable" smile and nodded.
After learning the reason for this small meeting, the expression on Qiu Feng God King's face finally relaxed a lot.
Regardless of who they support, the fact that there's a power struggle at the top means that those in the middle faction will likely benefit more.
Meanwhile, similar conversations were taking place frequently in the small hall. Most of the god-kings and celestial beings shared the same guess as the two of them, believing that it was very likely that the Chongshi-Hanhai faction was trying to win them over.
Just as these god-kings and celestial beings were thinking this, the convener of this gathering, the Vast Ocean God-King, finally arrived late...
As a result, his first words to these god-kings surprised them.
"Gentlemen, I've come to save you. Qiu Tu... is about to attack you."
With just one sentence, the previously noisy atmosphere of the small hall instantly fell silent. The expressions of the god-kings and celestial beings present subtly changed, and they looked up at the Vast Ocean God-King who was slowly approaching...

Requesting monthly votes for the last three days of the month.
Chapter 810 You'll stop at nothing to please Qiu Tu! (Seeking monthly votes)
Just as Qiu Feng and Sheng Yue, the two God Kings, had just discussed, most of the God Kings and Celestials present thought that this would be a good opportunity to sell themselves to a higher bidder when they were invited by the God King of the Vast Ocean.
Whether it's accepting the price offered by the Chongshi and Hanhai Shenwang factions or getting a sense of their offer, it will give them more confidence when negotiating with Qiu Tu later, which is a good thing.
As a result... the God King of the Vast Ocean dropped such a bombshell piece of information right off the bat, which truly surprised everyone.
Of course... the gods and god-kings of the "Order Path" are relatively quick-witted. Therefore, they did not just listen to the one-sided story of the Vast Ocean God-King, but while shocked, they exchanged glances and exchanged attitudes with the gods and god-kings they knew.
After a moment, Qiu Feng, the God-King, spoke first.
He stroked his two fine, dragon-whisker-like beard, then looked up and asked, "Lord Hanhai, what do you mean by that?"
"What do you mean Qiu Tu wants to arrest us?"
"We have no grudge against Qiu Tu, so why is he arresting us?"
The God King of the Vast Ocean seemed determined to go all the way and completely thwart Qiu Tu's plans. He smiled and said, "God King Qiu Feng, don't you understand what I mean?"
As he spoke, he glanced around at the dozen or so gods and god-kings present and said, "You, or rather... all of you here, must have passed on quite a bit of information to the 'Immortal Heavenly Tomb' over the years, right?"
Upon hearing these words from the God King of the Vast Ocean, most of the gods present couldn't help but change their expressions slightly.
How could a deity who can serve in the "Execution Department" not know the methods of the Heavy Stone God King and the Vast Sea God King?
If Elena was manipulating the entire "Temple - West Branch" while drinking, then the Heavy Stone God King and the Vast Sea God King could also be said to have firmly controlled the "Execution Department" without making a sound.
Before Qiu Tu appeared, for more than a hundred years, no one had been able to challenge the status of the Heavy Stone God King lineage in the "Execution Department".
There have always been rumors within the "Execution Department" that the Heavy Stone God King and the Vast Ocean God King are fully aware of the daily actions of every God King and every Celestial God in the "Execution Department." But they always take it as a joke.
However, when the God King of the Vast Ocean revealed the "hidden identities" of everyone present over the years, they couldn't help but be shocked and began to believe the "joke."
While still shocked, they couldn't help but look at the familiar faces around them again.
