Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty! Chapter 1668 689: The Truth Behind the Heavenly God Cataclysm!

"We are the saviors of the 'Boundless Heart Sea.' If it weren't for us, the 'Boundless Heart Sea' would have long been destroyed by Xi Yue!"

"People below the gods have not experienced the events of those years; haven't you experienced them yourself?"

"If it weren't for us seizing the opportunity, the 'Boundless Heart Sea' might not even exist now."

"Do you truly think that in that great battle at the 'World Channel,' Xi Yue could have won?"

"Didn't you see her finally disband her army and reincarnate, willingly giving up?"

When the East God King spoke, both the West God King and the North God King immediately fell silent.

The events of those years were indeed very complex, even... involving matters beyond the 'Boundless Heart Sea.'

Some high-level secrets within them were not even fully understood by the Four Divine Kings.

They only knew that after that 'Trial of the Gods,' out of dozens of heavenly gods in the entire 'Boundless Heart Sea,' only the four of them remained.

And if it weren't for them, the entire 'Boundless Heart Sea' might have been destroyed long ago...

As for Zhao Ji, or rather Xi Yue of those years, she was the key figure who brought about that 'God Cataclysm.'

For hundreds of years, although they knew they were traitors back then, knew they chose to back down and forsake those dozens of comrades, they never felt they were wrong...

.....

Meanwhile.

Eastern City - Qiu Tu's Villa.

Having finally returned to the 'Northwestern Region,' Qiu Tu, who had dealt with all the public affairs of this period and the matters of consolidation, saw Tang Feifei and Guan Xiao off, then went straight up to the third floor.

At this time, the third floor had become a restricted area, not only with arrays everywhere but also with the entire third floor using several pieces of 'Boundless Divine Crystal' to increase the concentration of Cataclysmic Power.

Arriving at the bedroom on the third floor, Qiu Tu knocked on the door.

A cold voice from Zhao Ji came from the bedroom, "Enter."

Qiu Tu pushed the door open and entered, finding Zhao Ji sitting cross-legged on the bed, practicing silently, her palms facing upwards.

Countless shattered 'Boundless Divine Crystals' surrounded her. Each fragment of the 'Boundless Divine Crystal' emitted a white mist of Cataclysmic Power so dense it had liquefied, which accompanied her breathing, was drawn into her body.

Standing in this room where the Cataclysmic Power was nearly liquefied, Qiu Tu couldn't help but take a deep breath, and an immense amount of Cataclysmic Power seeped into his heart through his breath, instantly relieving him of the day's fatigue.

'As expected, the power of the "system" is truly strong. Controlling an alliance made up of several countries makes resource collection extremely convenient.'

'This can greatly reduce the development time for me and Zhao Ji.'

Reflecting on this, Qiu Tu looked at Zhao Ji.

Not sure if she sensed Qiu Tu's gaze, Zhao Ji slowly opened her eyes, her pupils golden, appearing almost celestial.

"Did you need something from me?"

Her voice was cold, without warmth, possibly because she was continually immersed in cultivation.

Having been acquainted with Zhao Ji's aloofness for such a long time, Qiu Tu was already used to it. Because he knew that no matter how cold the iceberg, its core was soft, and its interior was warm.

"Hmm?"

Not sure if she noticed Qiu Tu was indulging in his thoughts again, Zhao Ji squinted slightly, glaring at Qiu Tu.

But... strangely enough, she didn't count down.

Qiu Tu coughed, quickly retracting his wandering thoughts.

Zhao Ji didn't remind him, so he simply played dumb without explaining and went straight to Zhao Ji to discuss business.

He began to speak, "Sister Zhaoji, I came to you this time because there are some things I want to understand."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ji closed her eyes, her expression indifferent while continuing to cultivate, as if she didn't intend to answer the question.

Qiu Tu continued, "I want to understand the 'God Cataclysm' of those years."

In Qiu Tu's mind, Zhao Ji had always been unshakable like Mount Tai; no matter what happened in front of her, it seemed unable to disturb her tranquility.

This time, however, was different.

Perhaps this incident was truly too impactful, or perhaps being in a state of cultivation, Qiu Tu was too capable of perceiving the fluctuations of her mind.

At that moment, the entire room's atmosphere suddenly stagnated, even the swiftly flowing Cataclysmic Power stalled for an instant.

Qiu Tu acutely detected this change, and although his expression remained unchanged, his heart sank slightly. It appeared... that the great catastrophe of those years was indeed very severe.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu explained, "I'm not trying to pry into your secrets."

"It's just that... the 'Heavenly God Trial' will conclude soon, with the 'Godhood' being awarded thereafter. You are guaranteed to obtain 'Godhood' and ascend to heavenly god status."

"The last 'God Cataclysm' nearly wiped out all the gods, and I worry that being a 'God' might involve some danger."

"So I want to help you plan ahead."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji's expression visibly softened somewhat. Yet, she didn't speak, maintaining her cultivation position and continuing to absorb the Cataclysmic Power, as if disinclined to answer the question.

Time passed by the second.

Just as Qiu Tu thought Zhao Ji might truly be unwilling to speak, and he might need to seek Tian Qi's help to understand the mysteries of those years, Zhao Ji finally spoke.

She slowly opened her eyes, her gaze cool as she looked at Qiu Tu, before speaking, "That mouth of yours..."

"You are clearly the one about to ascend to godhood, concerned about the dangers of this realm, hence seeking intelligence on the gods."
