Previously on Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty!...
Qiu Tu experienced a significant increase in power after advancing to the "Heavenly God" realm, which granted him the "Heavenly God Domain." This domain, representing his authority in "Politics," greatly expanded, encompassing vast territories and solidifying his control over numerous factions. He also realized his realm had advanced to "Intermediate Heavenly God," potentially making him the most powerful individual in the "Boundless Heart Sea." Considering the ongoing benefits and impending unification, Qiu Tu felt confident about his future dominance.
After all, if the sky collapses, a taller person will always be there to support it.Now, Qiu Tu stands as the most colossal figure within the "Boundless Heart Sea," and his current concern revolves around the Divine Kings of the "Heavenly God Battlefield."Although he has managed to postpone this major crisis for a significant duration, it remains unresolved.While some among the four Divine Kings might be cowards or traitors eager to betray the world for personal glory, they were not entirely mistaken about one thing.—The emergence of a Heavenly God signifies the assimilation of a portion of World Authority.In such circumstances, Divine Kings who tread similar paths will invariably devise numerous strategies to locate these nascent Heavenly Gods, aiming to solidify their own dominance.Consequently, confronting the other Divine Kings within the "Heavenly God Battlefield" is an inevitable prospect.Contemplating this, Qiu Tu could not help but feel a pressing sense of urgency.'I must rapidly augment my power. And... I need to gain more insight into the situation within the "Heavenly God Battlefield."''True victory lies in understanding oneself and one's adversary.''But... where can I possibly acquire intelligence concerning the "Heavenly God Battlefield"?'As this thought crossed his mind, Qiu Tu's gaze happened to rest upon Doris.Zhao Ji, known as the King B*tch, seldom offered praise lightly. If she referred to Doris's father as a former comrade-in-arms, it implies that Doris's father indeed occupied a position at the world's zenith centuries ago.An individual of such stature would likely have accumulated substantial intelligence regarding the "Heavenly God Battlefield," wouldn't they?Moreover... Doris herself possessed considerable strength even back then; might her father have bequeathed some understanding of the "Heavenly God" Realm or perhaps methods for rapidly enhancing one's cultivation?Such information could prove to be invaluable assets.With these considerations, Qiu Tu composed himself, withdrew from the "Heavenly God Domain," offered a few words of encouragement to the trusted subordinate from the "Ministry of Internal Affairs" present, and then dismissed him, leaving Qiu Tu and Doris to their time alone.Following the subordinate's departure, Qiu Tu had yet to make a move, but Doris, comfortably seated beside him, turned her pair of peach blossom eyes with a glint of mischief.It was evident she was plotting some playful scheme once more.Thus, before Qiu Tu could even broach the topic of intelligence, she stood, leaned towards him, and playfully inquired, "Mr. Speaker~ I desire to...."Upon hearing Doris's candid proposition, Qiu Tu, in the midst of drinking water, nearly sputtered it out.He turned his gaze to Doris, somewhat astonished by her seemingly inexhaustible vitality.It was important to remember that the previous night, he had shown no restraint, extending every thirty-minute endeavor to over seventy minutes, undeniably showcasing his "Heavenly God"-tier capabilities.And yet, Doris still craved more at this moment?Therefore, he looked deeply into her eyes.Under Qiu Tu's scrutinizing gaze, Doris showed no sign of backing down, her alluring eyes like silken threads, her amber irises concealing an unyielding fighting spirit.That spirit blazed intensely, as if poised to engulf Qiu Tu.Qiu Tu paused for a beat, then extended his hand towards Doris.However, at that precise moment, Doris suddenly leaned back, evading Qiu Tu's grasp with a light chuckle, as if she had successfully executed a clever prank.She then quipped, "Don't misunderstand, Mr. Speaker. I wish for your dinner portion.""Your meal appears more delectable. I would like to sample it."Hearing Doris's playful remark, Qiu Tu maintained an impassive exterior, though inwardly, he couldn't help but feel a mixture of amusement and mild exasperation.Ah... the very tactic he had employed on Qing Lan not long ago was now being mirrored by Doris.He had flirted with Qing Lan previously, and now he found himself the target of Doris's playful advances. Truly, what goes around, comes around.But.... the crucial distinction was that Qing Lan had been unable to reciprocate his advances, whereas he was certainly capable of handling Doris.Having ignited her own passion, Doris would now have to find a way to quench it.With that thought, Qiu Tu's hand moved towards Doris once more, gently taking hold of her arm.Perhaps not anticipating Qiu Tu's surprisingly easy susceptibility to her teasing, Doris appeared momentarily flustered.She stammered, "Wait, wait a moment, Qiu Tu.""I'm feeling a bit weary. Perhaps tomorrow would be better."Hearing this, Qiu Tu simply chuckled, "Worry not. Just relax. You won't need to exert yourself.""Besides, I have no ulterior motives. I merely wished to ask a few other questions.""Other questions?" Doris looked slightly bewildered.Qiu Tu responded with a soft, drawn-out "Mhm," lifting Doris into his arms before proceeding towards the bedroom.Perceiving Qiu Tu's intended destination, Doris gasped in surprise, quickly patting his chest, "What are you doing? Weren't we going to converse?"For Qiu Tu, who had already ascended to the level of a "Mid-level Heavenly God," Doris's gentle pats had virtually no impact.
Qiu Tu remained unperturbed, his calm demeanor unwavering as he responded, "Indeed. However, I harbor concerns that you might not be entirely truthful. Therefore, some degree of coercion may prove necessary."
Consequently... half an hour passed. Within Qiu Tu's private chambers.
Gazing at Doris, who was rhythmically ascending and descending, Qiu Tu inquired gently, "Let us discuss your father and the 'Heavenly God Battlefield'....."
.....
Meanwhile. The Heavenly God Battlefield.
This was a desolate and fractured realm. The heavens above manifested as an endless expanse of grayish-yellow, evocative of dried-up despair.
The very earth was a tapestry of fissures and chasms, stretching as far as the eye could comprehend, devoid of any semblance of life. Only a scattering of hardy wild grasses managed a precarious existence within the crevices of stone.
Yet, within this seemingly barren and boundless desolate domain.
The West God King found himself under immense pressure, forced to his knees upon the desolate ground.
Before him stood a formidable assembly of over a dozen powerful entities, projecting terrifying auras, their imposing figures towering majestically. At the vanguard of this group was an elder, his hair streaked with white, his visage deeply lined with the passage of time.
