Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty! Chapter 1727 - 707: Qiu Tu: Today, I Become a Heavenly God!

During the Cataclysmic Era, ranks one through five were designated as catastrophe beings, while ranks six through eight held the title of Earth Deities. Rank nine signified a Heavenly God.

In truth, upon reaching the Earth Deity stage, Qiu Tu had already perceived extraordinary powers, capabilities that ancient myths attributed only to "Gods."

For instance, within the territories he governed, his movement was unrestricted, allowing him to traverse any location as he pleased;

Furthermore, he possessed the ability to observe any corner of his dominion at will;

And similarly, every object and living being within his domain was subject to his control.

It could be asserted that within the confines of his controlled domain, Qiu Tu existed as an omnipotent deity.

The sole limitation, however, was his inability to venture beyond these self-defined boundaries.

Any departure from his controlled area resulted in the immediate dissolution of all his "authority."

As he approached the ascension to "Heavenly God," Qiu Tu found himself contemplating the nature of his powers—specifically, how his authority might extend once he transcended the limitations of a fixed region.

Would he retain his omniscience and omnipotence within the expanded scope of his "authority," much like he did during his tenure as an Earth Deity?

As it transpired, even before formally achieving the rank of "Heavenly God," on the very path toward that ascension, Qiu Tu experienced a remarkable transformation.

With the gradual assimilation of the "Heavenly God Positional Frame," he sensed his spiritual essence ascending continuously, soaring ever higher.

During this profound ascent, the vast expanse of the "Boundless Heart Sea," as perceived by his vision, began to contract, eventually diminishing to the size of a tabletop.

Once the scale of the "Boundless Heart Sea" was thus established, a multitude of colored blocks, lines, and dots started to emerge from the "map" of this condensed domain.

Qiu Tu applied himself to deciphering these visual representations, discovering that they indeed depicted lines of force and power emanations.

For example, a dominant "yellow" block occupied approximately 90% of both the "Northwestern Region" and the "Southwestern Region."

This clearly symbolized Qiu Tu's overarching control of the "Human Alliance."

Meanwhile, within the "Western Kingdom," various colored blocks were chaotically intertwined. Closer examination revealed these to be the Fog Hidden Association, the Sun Pavilion, and numerous other factions, both large and small.

It was an evident sign that with the demise of the "West God King," the entire Western Kingdom was in a state of fragmentation.

The power radiation lines, on the other hand, were straightforward in their representation. The "Human Alliance" was actively engaged in a three-pronged offensive against the Three Divine Countries.

These operations encompassed not only diplomatic maneuvers and political strategies but also military actions. All of these endeavors were visually rendered on this "map"—the "yellow" block indicating the Human Alliance, with three distinct lines actively encroaching upon the territories of the Three Divine Countries.

Beyond the representations of territorial control and strategic lines, the flickering "dots" scattered across the map signified instances where individuals were deploying "power skills" or enacting "political measures."

In essence, this "political map" provided Qiu Tu with a clear and comprehensive visualization of the political landscape and power dynamics across the entire "Boundless Heart Sea."

Even more astonishingly, every element depicted—be it the blocks representing territorial forces, the lines denoting strategic movements, or the "dots" indicating active power usage—fell within Qiu Tu's "authority range."

These "authority ranges," much like his former "controlled areas," endowed him with the capacities of omniscience and omnipotence.

Not only could he materialize within these zones at his discretion, but he could also freely relocate any objects or individuals within them. Furthermore, he could employ his consciousness to observe events as they unfolded in real-time.

A recent example was the "duel" between Tang Feifei and Qing Lan. Qiu Tu merely willed it, and his consciousness instantly materialized at the scene, allowing him to witness Tang Feifei's "actions" from beginning to end.

This observation naturally extended to include the subsequent interaction where Tang Feifei provided instruction to Shen Lingshuang.

"The power of a Heavenly God is truly immense..."

While Qiu Tu marveled silently at the exalted status of the "Heavenly God" realm, he simultaneously recalibrated his consciousness, directing his attention toward the "Northern Kingdom."

Currently, the "Northern Kingdom" had bifurcated into two distinct portions: one significantly larger than the other.

The predominant section was apparently being absorbed by the "yellow block," which likely represented the political assets and forces left behind by the former "North God King."

The smaller portion, conversely, constituted Doris's "Crimson Territory."

Just moments earlier, during his observation of the exchange between Qing Lan and Tang Feifei, Qiu Tu had remained undetected. Emboldened by this success, he now entered Doris's domain stealthily.

It had to be acknowledged that Doris's governance over the "Crimson Territory" was profoundly entrenched in the minds of its populace. She had managed the entire "Crimson Territory" with an unyielding, iron-fisted control.

However, this tight-fisted approach had a notable consequence: the majority of the regions within the "Crimson Territory" fell under the "Order-Politics" domain.

Consequently, Qiu Tu found himself able to move freely throughout the "Crimson Territory."

As he traversed the "Crimson Territory," Qiu Tu observed that every inhabitant seemed to emanate a subtle "red aura"—an aura that perfectly mirrored the hue of the "Crimson Territory's" dominant force.

This action seemingly showcased their acceptance of the 'Crimson Territory's' authority and their steadfast devotion to it.

Along the way, Qiu Tu observed everything as he made his journey towards the 'Crimson Territory's' grand castle.

Within the castle walls, the recently ascended Heavenly God, 'Doris,' was tending to the garden, engaged in conversation with the elderly matron beside her.

Likely due to resolving three formidable enemies and attaining the status of Heavenly God, the woman renowned as the 'most beautiful of the four nations' no longer bore any trace of worry on her features. Each expression, from her smiles to her frowns, radiated an captivating charm, surpassing even the beauty of the surrounding flowers.

'Snip.'

While carefully trimming a leaf with her pruning shears, Doris spoke to the old matron without looking up, "I intend to offer my allegiance to Qiu Tu."

Upon hearing Doris's declaration, the old matron was taken aback at first, but swiftly moved to discourage her, saying, "Miss, you mustn't consider such a thing."

"Our 'Crimson Territory' boasts a hundred years of established heritage; how can we simply hand it over to an outsider?"

She paused after speaking, contemplating for a moment, before continuing, "Furthermore... not long ago, you were already at the eighth rank and successfully safeguarded our 'Crimson Territory' against the threats posed by the four Divine Kings."
