Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty! Chapter 1728 - 707: Qiu Tu: Today I Become a Heavenly God! (Monthly Ticket Request)

"Now that you've achieved 'Heavenly God,' why do you want to give up the 'Crimson Domain'?"

Responding to the old lady's inquiry, Doris let out a soft chuckle. Her captivating gaze swept over the elder briefly before she responded with a languid, self-deprecating tone,

"To keep the 'Crimson Domain'... hehe... is merely because the Divine Kings have been allowing it."

She tilted her head back, her eyes fixed on the distant sky, "Before I ascended to 'Heavenly God,' I made a pilgrimage to the battlefield of the 'Divine King Incident.' I sought to deeply comprehend its essence."

"What I felt then can be summarized in a single word: power."

"Whether it was the four Divine Kings, Zhao Ji, or Qiu Tu, they all possessed immense, terrifying strength."

"Any one of them, unleashing their true abilities, would be more than the 'Crimson Domain' could withstand."

"Our safety for the past hundreds of years was solely due to the four Divine Kings checking each other, deliberately holding back."

As she spoke, Doris bent down once more to snip a leaf, continuing, "One must possess self-awareness."

"Even if not, once exposed, you must have the fortitude to accept defeat with grace."

"After all, in this world, weakness is inherently a failing."

With that, Doris rose, her bare feet treading softly towards the side, the melodious chime of the silver anklet accompanying her steps.

The old lady followed closely.

Moving to another blossom, Doris stooped to prune it while remarking, "Furthermore, my true obsession lies not with the 'Crimson Domain,' but with my father's demise."

"I cultivated the 'Crimson Domain' for centuries with the singular aim of avenging him."

"For this objective, I would readily offer my life."

"Ultimately, my centuries-old desire has now been fulfilled by Qiu Tu."

At this juncture, she straightened and smiled at the old lady, "Therefore, it is fitting to say Qiu Tu has a 'life-saving grace' towards me."

"In the mortal realm, such a grace is repaid with devotion. I offer the 'Crimson Domain' as a dowry and become his woman; it is no loss."

Upon hearing Doris's declaration, the old lady's astonishment deepened. She swallowed, then stammered, "Miss, isn't this rather... rash?"

"You are entirely assuming your own happiness."

Considering the matter, she found another point, "Besides, the master once advised... not to conflate one's career with romance."

"One must choose between building a career and pursuing a person."

Hearing this, Doris covered her mouth and chuckled.

She stated nonchalantly, "It's perfectly fine. With Qiu Tu, I intend to achieve both."

This woman's entrancing smile possessed an almost soul-capturing quality.

Moreover, whether it was imagination or reality, Qiu Tu felt that after Doris's attainment of 'Heavenly God,' her allure had amplified to a terrifying degree.

Every subtle expression, every smile, sent a surge of heat through Qiu Tu, a flush of blood rising.

He dared not prolong his gaze and withdrew from the 'Crimson Domain.'

Yet, unbeknownst to him, as he departed, Doris softly uttered an "eh?" and turned her gaze towards his disappearing presence.

However, perhaps due to Qiu Tu's complete vanishing, Doris, after a moment's pause, ultimately shook her head, dismissing it as a mere phantasm...

.....

Following this, Qiu Tu continued his journey across the three Divine Countries, utilizing this extraordinary state.

As a product of societal advancement, most regions of the 'Boundless Heart Sea' bore the indelible marks of political influence.

Consequently, in this newfound state, the 'Boundless Heart Sea' effectively became Qiu Tu's personal domain, allowing him unrestricted passage.

After his encounters with Tang Feifei and Doris, Qiu Tu proceeded to visit Shu Xia, Uncle and Aunt Man Huang, and the Zhi Yan Heavenly King, along with Li Feng and her mother.

Subsequently, Qiu Tu journeyed to the 'Southern Kingdom' to observe Shao Hua, and then to the 'Western Kingdom' to meet Bai Yi.

Leaving behind his presence throughout the 'Boundless Heart Sea,' Qiu Tu finally returned to his own corporeal form.

At this point, Qiu Tu's ascension to Heavenly God was nearing its culmination.

Expunging the recent 'travel' experiences from his consciousness, he calmly and serenely continued the Heavenly God ascension method imparted by Zhao Ji.

Time flowed onward, second by second.

Within the vast void, Qiu Tu sensed his soul intensifying, his divine body, previously reformed during the Fourth and Sixth Orders, began to fracture, only to be rebuilt anew.

Even more astounding, while past reforms had adhered to biological principles, his body was now undergoing a transformation that best aligned with his soul and the fundamental laws of existence.
