Then let them offer their loyalty!

The figure looked around to make sure no one was watching, then lowered their head and whispered,

"Prince Muye is confirmed to be missing, but he should not have perished yet. Several areas are currently occupied."

"The bishop suspects that it was Zhao Ji who did it. Prince Mu Ye is either in Zhao Ji's hands or in Qiu Tu's hands now."

"So the bishop's idea is that this trip is to have that person test Qiu Tu and ascertain His Highness Mu Ye's situation and position."

"Report to His Highness the 'Yaksha' who guards the Sixth Sanctuary area when necessary."

"He can either recruit or kill Zhao Ji."

"Without reaching the sixth rank, one is ultimately just an ant. No matter how strong Zhao Ji is, she could never be a match for Princess 'Yaksha'."

Upon hearing the message from the figure, a high-pitched voice inside the door responded, "Okay."

"I will pass on the message to that person right away."

"Take care of yourselves."

"Huang Shangzong has gone mad; he might attack tomorrow."

"Okay," the figure replied, then looked around again before hurrying away once more.

A chilling wind swept through the market, carrying with it a hint of blood...

.....

And so, when Qiu Tu advanced to the fifth-tier Cataclysm.

Undercurrents are swirling in East Asia and New South Wales.

While a fifth-tier opponent is powerful, this is the real world, not a game. Being stronger doesn't guarantee victory.

Often, unless you have overwhelming strength, you still have to rely on your brain.

Therefore, Qiu Tu's decision to advance to the fifth rank, while surprising many, did not deter potential enemies...

Time flies, and five days have passed.

Day 6. Boundless Ocean of the Heart - New Territories Area.

A golden light suddenly exploded in the sky above the New Territories.

Fortunately, it's daytime in the "Boundless Sea of ​​the Heart," so it's not too conspicuous.

Otherwise, if the teams developing and collecting resources in the "New Territories area" were to do so, they would all likely notice this anomaly.

Even so, a few people noticed the strange phenomenon and looked up.

But because that vision came quickly and went quickly.

So when they looked up, the vision had disappeared.

So the group just blinked in confusion and didn't pay much attention.

Meanwhile... deep in the forests of the New Territories.

Qiu Tu slowly opened his eyes.

In that instant, his eyes turned golden, making him look like a god.

As Qiu Tu slowly withdrew his aura as a fifth-tier Cataclysm, his expression became somewhat complicated.

Although his advancement was relatively smooth, he seemed to have discovered more problems.

He's...locked up!

Thinking about this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but recall what he had gained and what problems he had encountered in this advancement.

After advancing to become a fifth-tier Cataclysm, the biggest change was that Qiu Tu's rank and strength took a significant leap forward.

Especially the rank.

Once Qiu Tu reaches the fifth rank, his cataclysmic ability will affect all cataclysmic beings below the sixth rank.

Like Zhao Ji at the peak of the fifth tier, and Mu Ye, Qiu Tu's Order Space can all produce effects, unlike when it was at the fourth tier where it had no effect at all.

However... although it is effective, it does not mean that Qiu Tu can act recklessly.

The consumption of the ordered space is related to the gap between the two, as well as the rules set by Qiu Tu.

If the gap is too large and the rules are too strict, Qiu Tu may very well be beaten to death because he cannot afford the consequences.

Therefore, Qiu Tu needs to be extra cautious when facing a Great Evil God at the peak of the fifth rank.

Aside from the improvement in rank and strength, Qiu Tu felt that the biggest change was the boost the New Territories region provided to him.

After gaining complete control of the New Territories region, Qiu Tu successfully transformed it into his own domain.

With a region as his backing, Qiu Tu's mental strength, vitality, and lifespan were greatly enhanced.

More importantly... he will receive unprecedented bonuses in his region.

According to his estimation, his strength in the region is likely to reach the peak of the near-fifth rank.

Moreover, his control over the entire New Territories region will reach its limit.

Therefore, unless there is a level 6 Great Evil God, or a level 5 peak Great Evil God like Zhao Ji, Qiu Tu is almost fearless.

Even with the added benefits of "order space" and "region", Qiu Tu dared to go toe-to-toe with Mu Ye in his prime.

Of course... that's why Qiu Tu once again held Zhao Ji's strength in even higher regard.

After all... you have to understand, Zhao Ji defeated Him in one move in the Twilight Zone, with the zone's buffs!

This left Qiu Tu, who knew the truth, feeling utterly hopeless.

Just how strong is this woman?

Why does it feel like... the stronger I become, the less I can see through her strength?

Could she possibly withstand a sixth-tier opponent while at the peak of the fifth tier?

Hesitant in his heart, Qiu Tu did not express it.

Because besides worrying about Zhao Ji's strength, he was even more worried about his own future.

It wasn't until he advanced to the fifth rank and obtained relevant information from the "Origin of the World" that he was able to achieve this.

Qiu Tu realized that... to advance from the peak of the fifth rank to the sixth rank, in addition to having nine regions aligned like the nine stars, those nine regions also had to be continuous!

Only when those nine regions are connected can their power be integrated, thus helping the catastrophic creatures advance to the sixth rank.

But there's a problem! Qiu Tu was so focused on developing the "Boundless Heart Sea Region" that he didn't even consider whether it could be connected.

So, after advancing to the next round, he recalled the maps of Dongyezhou and Xinzhou and was surprised to find that... New Territories City borders Wuhai City.

However...neither New Territories City nor Wuhai City borders Yongye City. And Yongye City does not border Damo City either.

This resulted in Qiu Tu having four areas, but they were unable to function.

More importantly... of the 16 cities in Dongye, 8 belong to Zhao Ji and 1 to La Ri Luo.

These nine cities conveniently separate Qiu Tu's city from the other cities.

Therefore, there is simply no area around him where he can develop!

He's...locked up!

'This is absolutely outrageous!'

Thinking about this, Qiu Tu felt a headache coming on. He did want to mess with Zhao Ji and La Ri Luo, but... he didn't want to kill them.

Moreover, he was no match for Zhao Ji.

As for deceiving Zhao Ji...

Based on his several encounters with Zhao Ji, Qiu Tu had already drawn up a portrait of Zhao Ji's personality in his mind.

Zeki is clearly the kind of incredibly intelligent and powerful woman.

Even if she doesn't say anything or is too lazy to care, it doesn't mean she doesn't know.

More importantly... she's really not easy to fool.

Apart from Qiu Tu's last time of cheating and making Zhao Ji wait a few more days, Zhao Ji has never fallen for any of Qiu Tu's lies.

Therefore, it's too difficult to find a way to break through her and make a direct entry into New South Wales!

'I have to think of a way... otherwise, fifth rank will be my limit.'

After thinking quietly for a while, Qiu Tu patted his face.

Although the future is uncertain, things that need to be done still need to be done.

For example, when he asks Mu Ye, he has many questions and secrets he wants to ask her.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu opened the "Gold-Obsessed Wallet" and took out the 20 crystals that sealed Mu Ye.

Then Qiu Tu didn't delay and directly opened his "order space" and set his usual rules: "You must answer my questions with the truth. You cannot not answer, and you cannot harm yourself or commit suicide..."

The next second, upon seeing Qiu Tu, Mu Ye, who was still thinking of continuing to deceive him, seemed to sense something, and a look of horror appeared on his fleshy face...

Two chapters, 10,000 words each, please vote with monthly tickets.

Chapter 486 A True Treasure of Nature! (Thanks to "Shalot Binjun" for the Alliance Leader!)

Because he had conducted numerous interrogations using the "Order Space," Qiu Tu's wariness of Mu Ye was not surprising.

"Order Space" is, after all, a catastrophic ability. Although powerful, it can still be detected when used, and the user will notice something is wrong afterward.

This is why Qiu Tu uses this ability with great restraint. And the reason why he always kills all the targets after using it.

This ability to manipulate minds is truly terrifying. If made public, it is likely to instill fear or vigilance in many people.

Therefore, the moment Qiu Tu used it on Mu Ye, he had no intention of sparing his life...

Thinking this, Qiu Tu opened his "Gold-Obsessed Wallet," took out a "Hundred-Eyed Vision" device, set it aside, and then took out a notebook and a pen. He then began the interrogation...

"What is your name?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Mu Ye looked at Qiu Tu as if he were an idiot, wanting to tease him, but before she could finish, she answered seriously, "Mu Ye."

Even though they had noticed early on that Qiu Tu's cataclysmic ability was a bit off.

However, when he realized that he could not control his body and mind, Mu Ye's pupils contracted slightly, and his round face was filled with shock.

Qiu Tu ignored Mu Ye's surprise. He lowered his head and casually wrote a couple of lines on his notebook before continuing, "What is your strength?"

Mu Ye's face was full of surprise, but his tone was extremely calm. "Peak of the fifth tier, possessing 8 regions, 7 of which are connected together."

Qiu Tu nodded slightly, then continued, "You previously spread rumors about 'Shan Gen' in Dongye Prefecture, claiming that such a treasure existed there."

Is this news true or false?

Qiu Tu had actually asked Mu Ye this question a few days ago.

Mu Ye clearly told Qiu Tu that his claim that Dongye Prefecture had a "mountain root" was purely to sow discord.

Although Qiu Tu somewhat believed this claim, he still harbored a sliver of hope, which is why he decided to verify it again.

Therefore, when Qiu Tu asked this question again, even though he was controlled by the "Order Space", Mu Ye still showed a mischievous expression.

He chuckled and said, "Fake. Pure fake."

Because in Qiu Tu's eyes, Mu Ye was already a dead man, so Qiu Tu didn't bother to hide his emotions.

A look of disappointment crossed his face, then he shook his head slightly and wrote a line in his notebook.

Mu Ye clearly caught this expression. He seemed to have found a weakness in Qiu Tu's psychology, and taking advantage of Qiu Tu's silence, quickly said, "Qiu Tu, see, I really didn't lie to you the other day, did I?"

"So, please reconsider my suggestion from a few days ago."

The suggestion he made was that Qiu Tu join the "Mist Shadow Society," obtain a fiefdom that he could completely control, and then do all sorts of perverse things there.

Qiu Tu glanced at him expressionlessly, and then, for some reason, suddenly asked a strange question.

He said, "By the way, Your Highness. With my strength, I could own 11 cities if I joined the 'Hidden Mist Society'."

"Given your strength and status, how many cities can you acquire within the 'Hidden Mist Society'?"

Because this is Qiu Tu's problem, Mu Ye must tell the truth.

Like "Scarface," he was gradually influenced by the "space of order," and his emotions began to be controlled.
