Then let them offer their loyalty!

Hearing the maid's words, Qing'e nodded slightly, then made a few more notes in the booklet before closing the red booklet.

She clasped her hands together, and the booklet disappeared automatically into her palms.

Then she got up and followed the maid into the main hall.

A moment later, she saw the guardian god-king, who held a very high position even in the "temple," in the main hall.

"Your Majesty, you summoned me?" Qing'e asked, bowing slightly.

Elena was still leaning on the couch. She seemed to be drunk again and didn't care much about her image, so she just flicked her hand with her chest half open.

The next second, the intelligence in her hand flew towards Qing'e.

Qing'e reached out and took the intelligence report, but before she could even look at it, she heard Elena's voice.

Elena said lazily, "Send this intelligence to Qiu Tu."

Upon hearing Elena's words, Qing'e paused for a moment before softly replying, "Yes, Your Majesty."

As Qing'e left the main hall, she headed towards Qiu Tu's courtyard, mentally reviewing the intelligence she had gathered.

The intelligence came from "Chaotic West Capital," and it stated that the situation in "Chaotic West Capital" had been chaotic and rife with conflicts in the past two days.

The "Destruction Tyrant" sent a fourth-level God-King, second only to the "Guardian God-King," to the "Chaotic Western Capital" in an attempt to find the murderer of his beloved daughter.

Because the God-King Shepherd had communicated with the Tyrant of Destruction beforehand, he gave the green light and tacitly allowed that God-King to enter the "Chaotic Western Capital" for investigation.

However, that god-king's style of doing things was indeed "destructive," drastic and somewhat mindless. This aroused the dissatisfaction of the local forces in "Chaotic Western Capital."

The two sides have been embroiled in constant friction and tensions over the past two days.

Last night, a large-scale conflict finally broke out.

"Destruction Royal Court" is, after all, one of the six major forces of the ancient continent, and has a fourth-level God King in charge. How could it be compared to the local forces of "Chaotic Western Capital"? Therefore, the entire war was almost one-sided from the very beginning.

As it turned out, at that moment, a master of the "Life Path" suddenly appeared and launched a sneak attack on the fourth-level God King.

Caught off guard, the fourth-level God-King was seriously injured. Although his life was not in danger, his strength was greatly reduced. This immediately reversed the situation.

Although the expert of the "Life Path" was seriously injured after only two moves under the counterattack of the fourth-level God King, at this moment, five or six God Kings from "Chaotic Western Capital" stepped forward and held off the fourth-level God King.

This changed the situation in the "Chaotic Western Capital" from one-sided to a protracted tug-of-war.

Now, "Chaotic Western Capital" is like a battlefield of flesh and blood, where gods fall and new god-kings are born every moment.

After reading the intelligence, Qing'e couldn't help but recall the immense "life pathway" aura she had sensed from the direction of Qiu Tu's courtyard a few days ago.

That aura was extremely strange, as if it were a new life being born from destruction, and its strength was also very powerful, almost reaching the level of a second-level god-king.

As Elena's head housekeeper, she naturally sent people to investigate, but they got no results.

She also reported this matter to Elena.

Elena simply responded with a nod, indicating that she understood.

At the time, she thought Elena simply didn't care about the information. Now, thinking back, Elena probably already had access to the "Lord of the World" and had observed the target and figured out the inside story.

The "Life Path" expert mentioned in today's intelligence is most likely the same person whose aura appeared in Qiu Tu's courtyard that day.

Therefore, Elena asked herself to hand over the information to Qiu Tu.

Thinking about this, Qing'e couldn't help but wonder: When did Qiu Tu acquire a master of the "Life Path"?

Moreover, the life force he sensed that day was clearly only a second-level God King, so how could its actual combat power be so strong, even capable of seriously injuring a fourth-level God King?

It's important to understand that, below the level of a high-ranking God-King, there is no qualitative change in strength.

However, the difference in strength between each level of a God-King from 1 to 5 is enormous. Taking on five or even ten opponents at once is not a problem.

Therefore, based on strength, that expert in the "Life Path" should at least be a Level 3 God King.

'What exactly happened?'

With many questions in her mind, Qing'e also came to Qiu Tu's courtyard.

As soon as she arrived at Qiu Tu's courtyard, she found it filled with laughter and joy. Everywhere she looked, there were sounds of congratulations to Qiu Tu.

Clearly, Qiu Tu's smooth advancement to the second-level God King meant he now possessed the strength commensurate with his position, which excited his confidants and some of the gods who were watching him.

Qing'e paused at the door for a moment before stepping inside.

As a high-ranking member of the "Temple - Western Branch", Qing'e holds a significant position, prestige, and influence throughout the entire "Wine God Kingdom".

Therefore, when people saw her, they quickly made way for her and bowed with their hands at their sides.

Soon after, Qing'e met Qiu Tu in the room.

Perhaps because he had just been promoted, Qiu Tu's aura was still a little unstable. Qing'e gently sensed Qiu Tu's condition and confirmed that he was indeed a second-level God King.

So she smiled and congratulated him, "Lord Qiu Tu, congratulations on your promotion."

Upon seeing Qing'e arrive, Qiu Tu clearly guessed that Elena had something to convey to him, so he stood up, smiled, and returned the greeting before inquiring.

"Lady Qing'e, is there something you need from me?"

Qing'e reached out and took out the intelligence report, then handed it to Qiu Tu, saying, "His Majesty asked me to give this to you."

She didn't say anything more, but stood aside, observing Qiu Tu's changing expression.

Qiu Tu took the intelligence report and read it quickly. His brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes flickered as if he had thought of something.

However, he did not show any obvious change as Qing'e had expected. Instead, he immediately composed himself and nodded to Qing'e, saying, "Thank you, Lady Qing'e. I have received the intelligence."

Qing'e took in all of Qiu Tu's expressions. But because Qiu Tu was so cautious, she couldn't figure out what he meant.

So she could only nod and reply, "Okay, in that case, I'll head back now."

Congratulations again.

After saying that, Qing'e turned and left.

Even after she left, the congratulations and celebrations continued.

Qiu Tu put away the intelligence in his hand as if nothing had happened, and then continued to accept all the congratulations.

The celebration continued until the afternoon before the crowd slowly dispersed.

At this moment, Qiu Tu sat upright in the main seat and then used his mental power to summon Guan Xiao.

Before Qiu Tu went into seclusion, Guan Xiao and her daughter Li Feng had already used the "Celestial God Rank". During his seclusion, they also broke through one after another and became Celestial Gods.

Therefore, Guan Xiao has undergone a complete transformation at this time.

Her already exquisite features were like a meticulously sculpted work of art. Her slightly upturned eyes added a touch of natural charm, and her eyes, which seemed to see into people's hearts, shone with a cunning yet intelligent light.

She probably guessed why Qiu Tu was looking for her, so after entering the room and setting up an isolation array, she said, "Sir, Princess Zhao Ji has indeed left the 'Kingdom of Wine.' Princess La Ri Luo also left with her."

She paused, her eyes widening, and then carefully added, "Or rather, the two princes merged into one and left."

"Two become one?" Qiu Tu pondered the word, but he wasn't particularly surprised.

Even during his seclusion, he sensed the life force brewing within the destruction.

He had some guesses at the time.

Later, after his seclusion ended and he still hadn't seen Zhao Ji and La Ri Luo, Qiu Tu's suspicions were pretty much confirmed.

He even guessed the purpose behind Zhao Ji's actions.

The information Elena sent Qing'e earlier, and Guan Xiao's current answer, only confirmed Qiu Tu's suspicions.

He was silent for a moment, then said, "Did you leave behind a communication artifact with her?"

Guan Xiao's voice was soft and magnetic, "Yes."

"Not only did I prepare a 'communication artifact' before Princess Zehime left, but I also specifically arranged for several female intelligence agents to accompany her."

"This will not only provide her with intelligence support, but also allow us to establish an intelligence station in the 'Chaotic Western Capital' using Princess Zhao's strength, and she can also contact us at any time."

At this point, Guan Xiao paused, then added, "Furthermore, I knew the commander might be worried about Zhao Ji and Princess La Ri Luo, so when they were preparing to leave, he specifically instructed them to leave behind a 'memory stone.'"

As he spoke, Guan Xiao took out a dark, unremarkable stone from his pocket and handed it to Qiu Tu with both hands.

It has to be said that Guan Xiao is truly the most comfortable and reliable subordinate Qiu Tu has employed over the years.

Seeing how thoughtfully Guan Xiao had arranged things, Qiu Tu nodded slightly and looked at Guan Xiao with satisfaction, "Very good."

As he spoke, he took the recording stone and said, "You should contact those intelligence agents now and find out the specifics."

He paused for a moment, then said, "The information Elena had Qing'e give me states that Zhao Ji and La Ri Luo were seriously injured last night."

"Please ask them about their current situation."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Guan Xiao quickly lowered his head and replied, "Yes, sir."

After assigning the tasks, Qiu Tu dismissed Guan Xiao and then began to caress the photo stone.

With a few strokes from Qiu Tu, soon... La Riluo's figure appeared before his eyes.

However, unlike normal Lariro, this Lariro is a bit strange.

Although she was also wearing a long black dress with silver lace trim on the neckline and cuffs, she didn't have the same ethereal, night-butterfly-like quality as Larilu. Instead, she stood there like a cluster of dark flames.

Her scarlet eyes were deep and cold, like a bottomless abyss, as if they could freeze everyone.

Although he had guessed that Zhao Ji had used some kind of "divine skill" to temporarily merge with La Ri Luo for the sake of power, Qiu Tu was still a little surprised when he saw a hybrid of the two appear in front of him.

Especially when Qiu Tu saw that the two of them were led by La Riluo, he was even more surprised.

At this moment, Larilu, who was inside the memory stone, also spoke.

She parted her cherry lips slightly and said in a cool voice, "Qiu Tu. Don't doubt it, I am Zhao Ji."

"When you see this image stone, you should have already emerged from seclusion. Congratulations on your advancement to Level Two God King."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "And I also began to strive for my path to becoming a level two, and even a level three, God King."

"And in order to have the strength to protect myself," she said, pointing to her slender body, "as you can see, I temporarily merged with Xiaola."

"This is a 'natal divine skill' that I specifically researched after becoming the God King."

Her gaze was profound. "For years, I've been pondering a question. Xiaola and I are one, we even share a mysterious 'shared sensation.' So, could I control her body, even merge with her?"

"After all, although I've chosen the 'path of destruction' in this life and possess considerable strength, my talent and familiarity with the 'path of life' from my previous life were actually far greater."

"So, if we can integrate with her, it will likely be a win-win situation for both her and me."

"So... I created this god-king level innate divine skill: Twin Fusion."

As she spoke, Zhao Ji stood tall and proud, like a noble and aloof iceberg. She said, "This 'Innate Divine Skill' allows me to burn myself, transforming into a 'False God King,' and merge with Xiao La."

"Because we share the same origin, the power of my 'Destruction Path' can be perfectly transformed into the power of Xiaola's 'Life Path'."

"Because both of these pathways are originally my source of power, when they are in a state of fusion, I can simultaneously and perfectly utilize the power of both 'Cataclysmic Pathways'."

"This has brought my raw strength to a level comparable to a second-tier God-King. If I were to use 'Absolute Perception' and other 'Innate Divine Skills,' fighting a third-tier God-King wouldn't be a problem."

"And because she has absorbed my power, Xiaola's strength is also rising steadily. I believe it won't be long before she reaches the eighth rank. She has a chance to advance to the celestial god level."

"At that time, our strength will be further enhanced."

Qiu Tu: .....

To be honest, although he knew that Zhao Ji was a "scientific research expert" in her previous life, and that she created half of the "cataclysmic abilities" and "divine skills" in "Boundless Heart Sea", Qiu Tu was still a little surprised after witnessing Zhao Ji's genius firsthand.

Has Zeki only been a goddess for a few days? And she's already created such a terrifying "innate divine skill"?

More importantly... it seems from her words that she has created more than one "signature divine skill"?

You should know that Qiu Tu has not even created a "divine skill" since he became a god, let alone a "divine skill".

Therefore, for now, he can only use a "space of order" to overcome all other methods, and he can directly cover anyone he sees.

Fortunately, below the level of high-ranking God King, whether it is an ordinary God King or a guardian God King, they are all considered to be in the same realm, and the "Order Space" can be effective. Therefore, he has a trump card to protect himself.

Otherwise, he would never dare to plot against the guardian god-king who governs the two paths of order and destruction.

Now, comparing Zhao Ji's numerous innate divine skills, Qiu Tu felt... well, maybe he should just give up.

This is what ordinary people strive for their entire lives, but for geniuses it is something that comes easily to them.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but come back to his senses and continue listening to Zhao Ji talk.

Because what was in front of her was just a still image, Zhao Ji was unaware of Qiu Tu's thoughts. She continued,

"After our fusion, Xiaola and I plan to travel to 'Chaotic Western Capital' and make contact with the investigation team sent by the 'Destruction Tyrant'."

"Their arrival will surely cause chaos. That will be our chance."
