"I'll go see him."

The Ink God-King spoke first, her clear, cold voice echoing in the hall. Her holy, ethereal figure trembled slightly, scattering starlight. "I'll go and probe his intentions, to see what he really wants."

Hearing her words, God-King Mitchell clearly wanted to say something more, but God-King Radiance timely raised his illusory hand and spoke.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Ink Color."

Seeing that the Radiant God-King had made the decision, God-King Mitchell could only open his mouth and then choose to remain silent.

However, his action clearly caught the attention of the Ink God King.

The holy and enormous phantom of the Ink God King turned towards the phantom of the Mitchell God King, its starry eyes flickering slightly.

She seemed to suddenly recall King Mitchell's sarcastic remarks from earlier, so she spoke slowly.

"By the way, what did Mitchell ask me just now?"

"Ask me what we should do if Qiu Tu wants me and Elena to give ourselves to him?"

At this point, she gave Mitchell a deep look, then said with a serious expression,

"If Qiu Tu is willing to return to the 'Temple' if we submit to him, then what's wrong with sacrificing ourselves?"

"After all, the interests of the temple and the Order pathways are far more important than our personal interests, aren't they?"

As he spoke, the Ink God King glanced at Mitchell again and said, "Besides... Qiu Tu is powerful, handsome, and even younger than us, so it doesn't seem like we'd be at a disadvantage if we submitted to him, right?"

“After all…” The Dark God King paused for a moment before continuing, “He’s not like you, an old, ugly, and deformed person.”

"puff--"

Upon hearing the incisive mockery of the Ink God King, God King Mitchell felt a rush of blood to his head. The enormous phantom trembled violently, its divine power causing the entire hall to buzz, and its rugged face visibly turned a deep liver color, as if it were about to bleed at any moment.

He pointed at the inky-black god king, his lips trembling, but he couldn't utter a single word.

He knew, of course, that the Dark God King was saying that on purpose, deliberately trying to annoy him and make sarcastic remarks.

The words of the Ink God King were all based on the noble cause of "sacrificing for the temple," and he had no way to refute them.

In the end, all his anger turned into a muffled groan of resentment.

Upon seeing this, the Ink God King chuckled and then ignored Mitchell.

She nodded slightly to the Radiant God-King, and her illusory image then transformed into starlight and dissipated within the hall...

The Radiant God-King witnessed the entire confrontation between the two, but refrained from intervening. Only after the Ink-Colored God-King left did a faint sigh emanate from his phantom form...

……

Beyond the land of Dionysus, mountains stretch endlessly.

Qiu Tu, dressed in black, stood quietly atop a solitary peak, his robes fluttering in the mountain wind. He didn't deliberately release his aura, but his upright figure seemed to blend into the entire world, exuding an imposing presence that commanded respect.

Not long after, two streaks of light pierced the sky in the distance, arriving one after the other in an instant.

A moment later, the light faded, and the figures of the Ink God King and Elena appeared before him.

The Ink God King was still wearing that holy white robe, his body shrouded in a faint starlight, his expression calm, revealing neither joy nor anger.

Elena, who followed behind her, was somewhat different. She wore a maroon low-cut dress, the front of which was almost plunging to her stomach, revealing a deep cleavage.

To be honest, Qiu Tu has always considered himself a gentleman. But faced with such temptation, he couldn't help but take a second look.

Elena and Qiu Tu were already "old acquaintances," so she keenly noticed Qiu Tu's gaze.

She narrowed her eyes, gave a languid smile, and then said lazily, "What? Fallen for me?"

Qiu Tu hadn't expected her to be so bold in front of the Ink God King, so he coughed and said, "No, I just want to get involved."

Hearing Qiu Tu's blunt words, Elena burst into laughter, her laughter shaking the mountains like an avalanche.

Meanwhile, the Dark God King, standing to the side, paid no attention to the two flirting and bantering as if no one else was around.

Ever since she landed, her beautiful blue eyes have been openly fixed on Qiu Tu.

His gaze held a mixture of curiosity, surprise, and a hint of inexplicable admiration.

Whether she sensed the gaze of the Dark God King or not, Elena stopped talking after exchanging a few rounds with Qiu Tu.

She glanced at the Dark God King, then winked at Qiu Tu.

Seeing Elena's signal, Qiu Tu also bowed respectfully to the Dark God King and said, "Qiu Tu greets Your Majesty."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the Ink God King also came to his senses.

Given Qiu Tu's current status in the "Eternal Continent," he no longer needs to be so respectful to her. But Qiu Tu still did so, which clearly shows his attitude.

He still considers himself a member of the Black God King's faction.

Thinking this, the Dark God-King's expression became even more friendly. She nodded slightly to Qiu Tu, and then slowly said, "Elena has always told me that you are a great talent, but I was actually a little skeptical."

"But now it seems that she had a better eye for people."

Upon hearing the words of the Ink God King, Qiu Tu smiled at Elena and said, "You flatter me, Lady Elena."

Why do people need etiquette in their interactions? The core logic is to reduce "communication costs".

Especially for rising stars like Qiu Tu who have suddenly soared to prominence. His attitude towards the Ink God King and Elena, and the manners he uses, directly reveal his true feelings.

After they tacitly realized that Qiu Tu still favored them, the atmosphere among the three became much more harmonious.

With a wave of his hand, the Ink God King unleashed a dazzling golden light curtain that descended from the sky, like an inverted giant bowl, covering an area of ​​ten miles in radius. Outside the light curtain, everything became blurred and indistinct.

Clearly, this is to prevent other god-kings, especially high-ranking god-kings, from spying on us.

Having done all this, the Ink-Colored God-King withdrew his gaze and looked back at Qiu Tu, then asked, "I thought you really wanted to leave the 'Temple.' Now it seems there's more to the story?"

"Tell me, what exactly happened?"

After speaking... the Ink-Colored God-King glanced around Qiu Tu's body again, then said thoughtfully, "If I remember correctly, a Goddess-King named 'Zhao Ji' left with you before, heading to the 'Destruction Court.' Where is she?"

Since Qiu Tu dared to return to the "Temple of Order," he had clearly made thorough preparations long ago.

As someone who wants to sit at the table for a meal and play chess, he had already figured out where he would make his next move.

So, meeting the probing gaze of the Dark God King, he sighed deeply and said with a look of self-reproach, "Your Majesty, I have returned this time to apologize."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, both the Ink God King and Elena wore strange expressions.

Qiu Tu isn't joking, is he?

With his current strength and reputation in the "Eternal Continent", all forces are too busy supporting him to dare to question him.

Is this because they think they don't have enough enemies?

Moreover...shouldn't Qiu Tu be using this enormous influence to return to the "Temple" and then demand an exorbitant price from it? Why is he acting like such a submissive, wronged wife?

Could it be... that there are other hidden details in this whole affair?

It can be said that Qiu Tu successfully aroused the curiosity of Mo Se and Elena with just one sentence, and also laid the groundwork for what he would say next.

At this moment, having successfully immersing the two people in the scenario he had created and introduced the emotion, Qiu Tu slowly began his performance.

He said with a look of frustration, "Your Majesty, I know you are completely confused right now. I can only say that it is all my fault, and I have failed your trust in me."

"You had such high hopes for me before, but... I failed to complete the task you assigned me: to rebuild the intelligence agency of the 'Destroyed Royal Court.'"

"Moreover... not only did I fail to complete the mission, but Zhao Ji and I also fell into an ambush set by the 'Destroy the Royal Court,' were captured, and then forced to act out a play under their coercion."

"And then it had a huge impact on the 'Temple'."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the Ink God King and Elena exchanged a glance, and then a question mark slowly appeared above their heads: ?

Of the two women, Elena was clearly more familiar with Qiu Tu, so upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, she pondered for a moment, and then took the initiative to ask,

"The acting you're talking about, is it... the footage of killing the Berserker God King?"

Qiu Tu nodded seriously.

Ink-Colored God-King: .....

Elena: ....

To be honest, before meeting Qiu Tu, Mo Se and Elena had imagined many scenarios and topics for their meeting with Qiu Tu.

They had guessed that Qiu Tu might be arrogant and domineering, might be hypocritical and deceitful, might make exorbitant demands, or might even be so audacious as to try and take advantage of the two of them.

But... they never expected Qiu Tu to tell them that everything was fake.

To be honest, at that moment, both women felt like their brains were about to explode.

Qiu Tu... what exactly does this mean? And what is he trying to do?

Now the entire "Eternal Continent" knows that he killed the Berserker God King with a single sword strike.

Can the water that's sprayed out be taken back?

Thinking this, the two women couldn't help but look at each other again and exchange a brief conversation.

The Ink God King gave Elena a wink, and Elena nodded in understanding. Then she looked at Qiu Tu and continued to probe, "So you mean... the Berserker God King is still alive?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu deliberately showed a struggling expression on his face, as if some force was preventing him from speaking.

Finally, after a full two seconds, he said with difficulty, as if he had used up all his strength, "Yes... the Berserker God King is actually still alive."

"But... he's now deliberately using this incident to go from the open to the shadows and hide himself away."

"Why is he hiding?" Elena asked, clearly puzzled.

But upon hearing her words, Qiu Tu chose to remain silent this time, as if... he were under some kind of restriction.

Seeing this, Elena and the Dark God King exchanged a glance, their minds racing...

Chapter 922 Elena: Qiu Tu, Don't Go (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

As Qiu Tu's backers in the "Temple of Order," Elena and the Ink God King are among the few God Kings in the "Temple of Order" who stand on Qiu Tu's side.

This also leads them to unconsciously think from Qiu Tu's perspective in many situations.

Even though Qiu Tu clearly "betrayed" the "temple," they still spoke up for him.

And the same is true now.

After "betraying" the "Temple", Qiu Tu could have waited for a better price, but instead returned to the "Temple"; and after telling them some secrets, he kept quiet.

This strange behavior immediately led them to stand in Qiu Tu's shoes and begin to analyze and speculate about the whole thing.

Qiu Tu said he fell for the "Destroy the Royal Court" plot and was even coerced into acting out a play.

The Berserker God King clearly died in the video, but Qiu Tu claims he's still alive...

This is clearly implying to oneself that the "destruction of the royal court" is the mastermind behind everything. Furthermore, deliberately concealing a powerful guardian god-king and feigning weakness suggests a much larger scheme is at play...

Thinking this, the two women couldn't help but exchange a glance, both seeing their own guesses in each other's eyes.

After a moment, Elena spoke first.

She looked at Qiu Tu, then tentatively asked, "Is the person in the 'Royal Court' orchestrating all of this? What does he want to do?"

Upon hearing Elena's words, Qiu Tu shook his head and said, "It's not the one from the 'Royal Court,' it's his daughter."

As high-ranking members of the "Temple of Order," both Mo Se and Elena knew that although the current ruler of the "Destruction Court" was the "Destruction Tyrant," the actual executor was the "Radiant Princess."

Therefore, upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the two of them immediately believed him a little more.

Seeing this, the Ink God-King finally spoke. She asked, "Then... what does she want to do?"

Upon hearing the words of the Ink God King, Qiu Tu deliberately opened his mouth, then pretended to be unable to speak.

He tried twice, then frowned and said seriously, "Your Majesty, if I had something that could grant you the highest position..."

How much will you pay?

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the Dark God King's expression turned solemn, and he said without hesitation, "Everything."

But as soon as she finished speaking, her brows furrowed involuntarily.

Because she knew that Qiu Tu would never talk about trivial matters at a time like this. Since Qiu Tu brought up this topic, it must have something in mind.

So, her brain started working overtime.

'Willing to pay any price to become the Supreme God-King...?'
