Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty! Chapter 1725 - 706: The Pacification of the Three Great Divine Countries!

Because....

As these thoughts occupied Zhao Ji, her attention naturally drifted back to the spot where the pit originally lay.

It was precisely during her recent destruction of the "World Channel" that she had detected a familiar aura, that of the "West God King".

This suggested that the West God King had, in fact, traversed the "World Channel" and arrived at the "Heavenly God Battlefield".

Although the cryptic note couldn't precisely identify this specific world, the "West God King", having reigned over this realm for centuries, had undoubtedly laid numerous hidden traps and contingency plans.

It was highly probable that he possessed some artifact or method to pinpoint this world's location.

'So, he did leave a lingering problem behind,' Zhao Ji mused internally.

With a silent sigh, Zhao Ji resolved not to let this matter dampen her spirits.

After all, at that time, she was merely an Eighth Rank cultivator. To emerge victorious in that war and vanquish the Divine King was already an immense challenge. Eradicating the Divine King completely, from the very root, was an entirely different, seemingly impossible, feat.

'Never mind, let Qiu Tu wrestle with these intricate affairs.

'I have faith that he possesses a means to deal with the West God King.'

Her thoughts settled, Zhao Ji ceased further contemplation. She then collected the scattered fragments of the "Heavenly Communicator" and, transforming into a mere wisp of smoke, vanished into the depths of the "Mandala Desert"....

With her departure, the surroundings returned to a state as if nothing untoward had transpired....

Yet, perhaps even she failed to realize it: that she, once a legendary Heavenly God, had unconsciously begun to lean on Qiu Tu....

.....

As the undeniable victor of the "Heavenly God Trial", the human faction now held sway over three of the six Heavenly God positions.

Consequently, the entire ruling structure of the "Boundless Heart Sea" had undergone a subtle yet significant shift.

Previously, as long as Zhao Ji and Qing Lan had not achieved higher cultivation, the three Divine Countries could maintain a facade of obedience.

But now, with the emergence of two more Heavenly Gods, one of whom was a formidable powerhouse capable of slaying a Divine King at the Eighth Rank, the situation had irrevocably changed.

As a result, the various powers within the three Divine Countries finally felt compelled to cease their procrastination and promptly submitted.

When Doris had recently ascended to the Divine King realm, she was persuaded by Man Huang and Shu Xia to have all the forces of the Northern Kingdom surrender.

The Western Kingdom followed a similar trajectory. Having received explicit directives from the "West God King", all its constituent forces capitulated with remarkable ease.

Elder Heavenly King Zhi Yan and Li Feng were dispatched to facilitate the negotiations, and the agreement was reached with pleasantries exchanged.

Thus, swiftly, only the Eastern Kingdom remained as the sole holdout among the three Divine Countries.

In truth, the various factions within the "Eastern Kingdom" felt a profound sense of injustice.

A majority of these factions harbored a genuine desire to surrender. However, the crucial obstacle was that none of them had any personal acquaintance with Qiu Tu.

Within the entirety of the "Eastern Kingdom", the only individual who had encountered Qiu Tu was the East God King Longchuan Ying, who had unfortunately met his end at Qiu Tu's hands...

Therefore, even with their willingness to submit, a path to do so remained elusive.

At this opportune moment, Tang Feifei led a formidable contingent of one hundred thousand "Fake Persons" towards the "Eastern Kingdom".

With Qing Lan indisposed, Tang Feifei's troops swept through, inducing surrender wherever they went.

Naturally, during this period, a few die-hard factions, unwavering in their loyalty to the "East God King", mounted a stubborn resistance. Several Eighth Rank Great Evil Gods even attempted to assassinate Tang Feifei.

However, despite Qing Lan's apparent indolence, her prowess was far from lacking.

At her cultivation level, she was indeed a top-tier combatant; furthermore, she had now ascended to the Heavenly God realm.

Consequently, with a few well-placed "Salt Fish" and several "Black Pot" attacks, those Eighth Rank Great Evil Gods were instantly transmuted into "Boundless Divine Crystals", becoming... Tang Feifei's hard-won spoils of war.

Upon hearing that Tang Feifei had claimed her spoils of war, Qing Lan was incensed. She marched off to confront Tang Feifei, her anger escalating to the point where she nearly unleashed her newly acquired "Heavenly God Skill", tailored to her "Cataclysm Path", upon Tang Feifei.

However, Tang Feifei adopted her authoritative commanding posture, her face etched with a stern, sun-kissed resolve, and articulated her rationale.

"When the army engages in warfare, all captured materials constitute spoils for the entire army. Distribution of rewards will occur only after the operation concludes."

"If any individual were to claim enemy relics for their personal gain, would that not sow chaos within our ranks?"

"Therefore, Your Majesty Qing Lan, I implore you to patiently await the conclusion of this campaign to receive your rightful rewards."

Having stated this, Tang Feifei paused momentarily before adding, "At that juncture, the allocation of spoils will most likely be determined by Qiu Tu."

"Even if you harbor no trust in me, surely you place your faith in Qiu Tu, do you not?"

It was an undeniable truth that this final remark had a profound impact on Qing Lan.

Thus, after a brief moment of deliberation, Qing Lan acquiesced to Tang Feifei's plan and subsequently departed from the barracks.

As she strode into the command tent, Guan Xiao, Rain Butterfly, and Shen Lingshuang were already in attendance.

Upon learning of Tang Feifei's decision, Guan Xiao and Rain Butterfly raised no objections, but Shen Lingshuang exhibited a touch of curiosity.
