Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty! Chapter 1673 691: Qing Lan: I Sell My Skills, Not My Body!

'Seven days remain until the Heavenly God Trial concludes?'

Upon reading this notification, Qiu Tu experienced a surge of conflicting emotions.

Previously, when he was firmly positioned among the top three in the "Heavenly God Trial" and held aspirations for the "Heavenly Position," he would have welcomed an early end to the trial.

However... since learning of the impending trials faced by the "Heavenly God," the scrutiny from the God Kings, and the perils of the "Heavenly God Battlefield," he now craved additional time for preparation.

More time would, at the very least, allow him ample opportunity to gather further information, intelligence, and formulate more robust strategic plans.

But... fate, it seemed, had other plans.

Just as he wished to prolong the period, the universe played an ironic trick on him.

At this precise moment, perhaps sensing Qiu Tu's somewhat unusual state of mind, Zhao Ji, who had also seen the message, raised her head and met his gaze.

Though it might have been a figment of his imagination, her golden eyes appeared to hold a flicker of tenderness.

Yet, lacking a natural talent for comforting others, it was evident she possessed limited experience in offering solace.

Thus, after a brief pause, she spoke with a calm demeanor, "Worry not."

Her words were clear and precise: "Should the 'Heavenly God Battlefield' have concluded and the God Kings of the Six Great Paths ascended to their peaks, then... the 'Heavenly God Trial' would cease to exist."

Zhao Ji's statement caused Qiu Tu to pause in contemplation, after which he fell into deep thought.

Her reasoning was undeniably logical and, upon closer inspection, quite sound.

The fundamental reason is straightforward: the World Will initiated the "Heavenly God Battlefield" specifically to select six supreme God Kings and ensure the unification of their respective paths.

A prerequisite for path unification dictates that all Heavenly Gods and God Kings must be either consumed or subjugated by these chosen top-tier God Kings.

Under such circumstances, if all Six Great Paths were to produce their ultimate God Kings, the World Will, in theory, would have no need to convene another "Heavenly God Trial."

This is because... regardless of which path's Heavenly God ultimately prevails, the standing of that path's supreme God King would be significantly diminished; they would no longer possess the overarching dominion over the entirety of the Cataclysm Path.

Consequently, as long as the "World Will" remains willing to host a "Heavenly God Trial," it serves as an undeniable indicator that the "Heavenly God Battlefield" has not yet reached its conclusion.

The God Kings have yet to secure their rightful positions!

This realization brought a considerable sense of relief to Qiu Tu.

He stole a glance at Zhao Ji.

He had to concede that the immense upheaval to his worldview had temporarily clouded his usual judgment.

Fortunately, Zhao Ji was present by his side.

With this comforting thought, Qiu Tu managed to steady his emotions.

The abrupt shift in circumstances diminished their desire for further leisurely conversation.

Hence, following a brief exchange, Qiu Tu proposed they depart.

As the door clicked shut, the room was once again enveloped in darkness, and Zhao Ji closed her eyes, quietly resuming her cultivation.

This woman, having lived as a God for two lifetimes, had never once been lax in her pursuit. Perhaps this unwavering dedication was the very reason she consistently occupied the pinnacle of power.

At this moment, outside the bedroom door, Qiu Tu leisurely descended from the third floor.

However, just as he reached the staircase on the second floor, he abruptly halted, realizing with a jolt that he had neglected to ask Zhao Ji about the reasons for her past life's deviation! He had also forgotten to inquire if she had managed to rectify it in this current lifetime!

'It appears the Heavenly God Battlefield has indeed unsettled my thoughts.'

Reflecting inwardly, Qiu Tu made a mental note. He resolved to ask Zhao Ji about the circumstances of her past misstep when they next met.

With this resolution, Qiu Tu proceeded to the first-floor living area. He retrieved the communicator and dialed a number....

The Heavenly God Trial was rapidly approaching its finale. He felt the pressure of time, and undoubtedly, other factions did as well.

Certain preparations needed to be made in advance, specific traps had to be laid, and furthermore... there were individuals he needed to encounter....

.....

Simultaneously.

Within the Western Kingdom, in the majestic aerial palace of the West God King.

The West God King was seated imposingly in gleaming battle armor upon a formidable throne forged from rough metal.

Much like Doris had earlier taunted the North God King, the presentation of a Heavenly God often reflected their personal proclivities. Clearly, the West God King favored a more rugged lifestyle, one associated with horses and swords.

Before him materialized the spectral image of a woman swathed in bandages.

The woman possessed a statuesque presence, her limbs long and elegantly proportioned, exuding an aesthetic that was undeniably captivating. Even concealed beneath the bandages, her inherent beauty was palpable.

However, her voice provided a stark contrast to her alluring appearance, proving far less pleasant.

"Now that scoundrel Beize has chosen to feign madness and sow chaos."

"And that fellow in the south remains perpetually inactive, ignoring all attempts at communication."

"Only the two of us possess the capability to vanquish Zhao Ji and safeguard this world."
