She stated clearly, "I know that I am relatively weak, unable to become a god, and unable to help Qiu Tu."
"But precisely because I'm too weak, I can't be of any help to you even if I stay in the 'Boundless Sea of Hearts'."
Tang Feifei, Yu Die, and others: ...
Larilu showed no embarrassment whatsoever and continued, "And after I go to the 'Ancient Continent,' I'll be able to see my sister."
She said with a serious expression, "Ever since my sister and I were no longer in the same world, I've always felt like my strength is weakening."
“I think my sister must be the same way.”
"When Qiu Tu needs help, every bit of improvement in my sister's strength can be of great help to him."
"And I... might also be able to break through the current limitations of my strength."
At this point, her expression became somewhat mystical, and then she said with a serious face, "I feel... my opportunity may very well lie in the 'Ancient Continent'."
"This is a subtle message I received from the 'Origin of the World.'"
Tang Feifei, Yu Die: ....
Princess Xi and Heavenly King Zhiyan: .....
The women present were all in high positions and wielded immense power, so they wouldn't reveal their thoughts even if they had them.
Meanwhile, in the office, the only two girls with relatively low positions and abilities, Yan Yan and Shen Ling Shuang, began to whisper among themselves.
Shen Lingshuang blinked her cute eyes, then covered her mouth with her hand and whispered to Yan Yan beside her, "Isn't she stuck at the peak of the sixth rank because she's too lazy?"
"Ever since Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji left, she's been eating, drinking, and playing all day long, and she hasn't been in the mood to cultivate at all."
Larilu: ....
Although Shen Lingshuang's voice was soft, it easily reached everyone's ears in the quiet conference room.
Lari almost choked on her saliva and coughed several times.
The other women also suppressed their laughter, then exchanged glances.
Of everyone, only Tang Feifei's expression remained unchanged.
After pondering quietly for a moment, she agreed to Larilu's suggestion, saying, "Since you want to go to the 'Ancient Continent,' I'll contact Qiu Tu and see what he thinks."
"As long as he doesn't object, you can go with him."
Upon hearing Tang Feifei's words, La Riluo almost jumped down excitedly, "Yay! I can finally play with Qiu Tu!"
Seeing this, Tang Feifei and Yu Die exchanged a glance, both shaking their heads with a wry smile...
.....
Several hours later. On the ancient continent. In the land of Dionysus.
Qiu Tu was using a communication-type magical artifact to communicate with Qing Lan in his residence.
"La Riluo wants to come along?"
Upon hearing Qinglan's report, Qiu Tu frowned slightly, as if he was considering the pros and cons of La Riluo's arrival.
It has to be said that, just as La Riluo herself said, her strength is too weak, and even if she comes to Qiu Tu's side, she won't be of much use.
However... compared to her strength, her identity seems to be able to help Qiu Tu quite a bit.
Qiu Tuke hasn't forgotten that La Riluo is Zhao Ji's split soul and one of the important test subjects of the "Chaos Witch".
For Lariro's sake, the Witch of Chaos even arranged for the White Robe, an avatar of the God-King, to stay in the "Boundless Heart Sea" for a hundred years, which shows how much the Witch of Chaos values Lariro.
Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but have an idea: since the Chaos Witch is so interested in Lariluo.
Or... should I have Larilu come over and meet Jasmine? See how Jasmine reacts?
Who knows what kind of slip-up Jasmine might make at that time?
Of course... Qiu Tu also had his own ulterior motives in bringing La Riluo over.
His relationship with Zhao Ji is actually very close and quite ambiguous. But no matter how ambiguous or close they are, they are still quite far from being together.
Given Zhao Ji's current state, Qiu Tu felt it would be difficult to find a breakthrough by focusing on her personally.
With La Riluo as support or a breakthrough point, Qiu Tu feels it will be easier.
Especially... don't forget that Qiu Tu even ate La Ri Luo.
Of course, considering all the advantages, there are also some disadvantages to having Larilu come over.
The biggest drawback is the safety of Lariro.
Leaving aside the fact that Lariro's strength is too weak in the "Ancient Continent" where powerful beings abound, let's talk about the Chaos Witch...
The Witch of Chaos seems so interested in Larilu; Qiu Tu isn't sure if she might do anything to Larilu...
Thinking this, Qiu Tu's brain raced as he assessed La Riluo's safety level.
First of all... Lariel is not alone. She has herself and Zehime by her side.
I might not hold much of a place in the Witch of Chaos's heart, but Zhao Ji probably does. With Zhao Ji there to protect me, the Witch of Chaos will most likely not make a direct move.
Secondly... the Witch of Chaos is probably still hiding her identity.
Although he didn't know why she did it, Qiu Tu felt that she probably wouldn't expose her identity just for La Riluo.
Finally, and most importantly... the person in white had been lurking around Lariel for so long. They had the opportunity to capture or kill her, but they chose to do it this way.
Qiu Tu felt that the "chaotic faction" was probably not hostile towards La Riluo.
With that in mind, Qiu Tu silently made a decision.
He gave an order to Qinglan on the other end of the "communication artifact", "Then... let her come."
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Qing Lan responded crisply, "Yes, boss."
After speaking, Qinglan paused for a moment, then added, "By the way, boss, are Guan Xiao, Heavenly King Zhiyan, and General Li Feng still coming?"
Upon hearing the names of the mother and daughter, Qiu Tu paused for a moment, then said, "They're coming too."
Qiu Tu has always been an open and honest person, so it's not him who's embarrassed that the two of them came together.
And so, the call ended. Qiu Tu stood by the window, looking up at the bright moon outside.
The Kingdom of Dionysus is an independent little world, so it also has its own stars, sun, and moon.
Unlike the "Boundless Sea of the Heart," the stars in the Dionysian Kingdom resemble grapes, while the moon is like a glass of wine, appearing clear and distinct, rippling like a liquid, radiating a shimmering glow, creating ripples that are extremely beautiful.
"What a beautiful world..."
Hearing the sigh from not far away, Qiu Tu couldn't help but turn his gaze in that direction, and then he saw Jasmine in the small garden outside her window, looking up at the moon.
Tonight, she wore a white halter dress that accentuated her slender waist. Her chestnut hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and her skin, partially obscured by the moonlight, shone with a pearly luster.
She was already very beautiful, but she looked even more beautiful in the bright moonlight. Like a mountain spirit, she exuded an indescribable charm.
To be honest, even with Qiu Tu's extensive experience with beautiful women, he was momentarily stunned for a second.
However, his composure is now far greater than before, so he only needed a moment to regain his senses.
Then he glanced at Jasmine thoughtfully. He sensed something was off about Jasmine tonight.
Well... she is extremely beautiful, but every move, every smile, seems to have been deliberately arranged.
'What's this guy up to now?'
Thinking this, Qiu Tu's mind raced. After a moment, he called out, "Jasmine."
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's voice, Jasmine seemed to have just noticed him, then turned around to look at him, her face filled with surprise, "Brother, you're here?"
Qiu Tu: ....
Can it be made even more fake?
Why don't you just crawl into my bed and say, "What a coincidence!"
Although he was full of complaints, Qiu Tu knew that now was not the time to expose Jasmine's tricks.
So he smiled and said, "Yes. What are you doing in the yard?"
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Jasmine showed a wronged expression. She pouted and complained in a teasy tone, "The night is long, and I'm having trouble sleeping."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "Then let's come inside and have a cup of tea?"
Jasmine seemed to have anticipated Qiu Tu's words. Upon hearing this, she showed a shy expression, "Then I'll trouble you, brother."
After saying that, she glanced discreetly at the distance before walking towards Qiu Tu's room.
In the direction she had been looking, Zhao Ji stood there, silently watching the scene, her face expressionless...
......
at the same time.
Ancient continent, the Kingdom of Heavy Stone Gods.
This is a world made entirely of rock, with jagged boulders everywhere.
Under the scorching sun, countless gaunt, dark-skinned creatures, shirtless, pulled on ropes and dragged huge rocks, struggling to walk on the hot, cracked earth.
With each step they took, the jagged rocks beneath their feet tore at their soles, leaving bloody welts. But they dared not utter a sound, gritting their teeth and painfully continuing their arduous journey.
In this cruel world, a towering palace built of massive stones stands.
Inside the palace, there was a tall throne made of gold, upon which the Heavy Stone God King sat and communicated with a curtain of water before him.
He mumbled, "You mean... Elena gave Qiu Tu five 'Celestial Ranks'?"
"Qiu Tu used this to prove that he was deeply trusted by Elena, so the gods' attitude began to soften?"
On the other side of the water curtain, the one conversing with the Heavy Stone God King was the "Turtle Prime Minister," the Vast Ocean God King. Hearing the Heavy Stone God King's words, he wiped the sweat from his brow and said, "My lord, it's not just that."
"Shortly after this incident, someone started spreading the news within the 'Execution Department.'"
"The reason Qiu Tu was targeted even before he arrived at the 'Execution Department' is because he enjoys Lady Elena's deep trust."
Upon hearing the words of "Prime Minister Turtle," King Chongshi frowned and immediately understood the malicious intent behind the rumor.
He said in a deep voice, "So... now others believe that Qiu Tu was actually sent by Elena to target me?"
Upon hearing this, the God King of the Vast Ocean nodded with an embarrassed smile.
"Yes. Rumors are circulating within the 'Execution Department' that this is an internal power struggle among the higher-ups."
"They believe that Lady Elena has a problem with us, so they sent Qiu Tu to keep us in check."
"But we were wary and deliberately took action to suppress them."
Upon hearing the words of the Vast Ocean God King, the Heavy Stone God King slammed his throne down, shouting, "Bullshit!"
With a single strike, he shattered the handle of the throne.
The Heavy Stone God King's eyes were bloodshot, clearly angered by Qiu Tu's counterattack.
However, his temper flared up quickly and subsided just as fast.
So after taking two deep breaths, he quickly calmed down.
He pondered for a moment, then asked the crucial question, "Is the 'Celestial Rank' he possesses genuine or fake?"
The Vast Ocean God King instantly understood the meaning behind the Heavy Stone God King's words.
He began to explain, "Based on my observation, it's true."
"And..." the Vast Ocean God King paused, then continued, "Afterwards, I also tried to learn more about the 'Training Department'."
"Hua Wanwan really did give Qiu Tu five 'Celestial God Ranks'."
Upon hearing the words of the Vast Ocean God King, the Heavy Stone God King's brows furrowed so deeply they looked like they could trap a fly. "Hua Wanwan's branch?"
The Vast Ocean God King hummed in agreement and said, "From what I understand, after Lady Elena granted Qiu Tu the 'Celestial Godhood,' she immediately went into seclusion after using a 'Primal Divine Skill.'"
"Therefore, Qiu Tu did not obtain the Godhood directly from Lady Elena, but instead went to the 'Training Department' to withdraw it according to procedure."
The Heavy Stone God-King clearly had an excellent understanding of the situation at the western branch of the "Temple," and he began to question in a low, humming voice.
"Given Hua Wanwan's cautious nature, would she agree to this request while Elena is in seclusion?"
As the God-King in charge of the "Execution Department," Chongshi immediately triggered his professional instincts: "Will she be alright?"
Upon hearing this, the God King of the Vast Ocean smiled and said, "I actually had the same suspicion."
"So, I checked it again."
