Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty! Chapter 1744 - 711: Qiu Tu: Am I the Strongest in the World Now?

His form was immense, his countenance withered, and atop his head sat a crown of purple-gold. Most peculiar was the fact that one of his arms was missing entirely.

Casting his gaze upon the West God King kneeling before him, his clouded eyes settled on the supplicant, and he rumbled, "Is all that you speak the truth?"

"In your realm, six new Heavenly Gods have ascended?"

"And one among them walks the path of 'Order'?"

Heeding the elder's inquiry, the West God King responded with haste, "Yes, Your Eminence. That individual is named Qiu Tu; most likely the Child of Fate from the material world that was consumed by the 'Boundless Heart Sea.'"

"In a mere handful of years, he has ascended from ordinary mortal to Heavenly God. His particular path is the rather rare 'Order Path.'"

"I would absolutely not dare to deceive you."

With that, he gestured towards a large crater not far off and stated, "That is where the 'World Channel' was situated when I arrived."

"You should still be able to detect faint spatial disturbances there; you can verify it yourself."

"However... that cunning Qiu Tu, he detonated the 'World Channel' immediately after I managed to repair it."

"Otherwise, I undoubtedly could have guided Your Eminence directly."

At this juncture, the West God King paused once more.

Then, he continued, "But... Qiu Tu was unaware that over the years, in addition to repairing the 'World Channel,' I also established a one-time use formation."

"That formation possesses the capability for spatial location and teleportation."

"As long as you possess this wooden token of mine, you can be teleported there."

Upon hearing the West God King's report, the elder's cloudy eyes flickered subtly.

He carefully observed the West God King for a few moments before slowly inquiring, "How many individuals can it transport?"

The West God King quickly answered, "Two."

"Two..." The elder echoed the number, his murky gaze deepening.

This quantity was neither substantial nor insignificant.

If only one expert were sent, the risk would probably be considerable. If three experts could be dispatched, the situation would be considerably more secure.

With two experts, there was a discernible possibility of success, yet it wasn't entirely without peril.

Consequently, for a spell, the entire desolate expanse fell into a profound silence.

All present, be it the West God King or the dozen-plus Heavenly Gods accompanying the elder, awaited the elder's final decision.

After a brief interval, the elder once again fixed his gaze on the West God King and queried, "Back then... the method I imparted to you for refining a 'Pseudo-God King,' did that newly emerged Heavenly God acquire it?"

In response to the elder's question, the West God King promptly shook his head.

He affirmed reassuringly, "No, Your Eminence. That individual is too arrogant to relinquish his future for the sake of protecting the world."

He then paused, adding, "However... Beize and the others have formed an alliance with Qiu Tu."

"They are likely still alive..."

Upon hearing the West God King's statement, the elder's brow furrowed slightly. Yet, perhaps due to his extreme age, his countenance bore a multitude of wrinkles, so even a slight frown caused his forehead to crease into a pattern resembling the character '川'.

He contemplated silently for a few moments before decreeing, "Yao Qin, Tang Lang, the two of you shall go."

As his command resonated, a male and female figure emerged from the assembled ranks.

The man stood at approximately 1.5 meters tall, exuding an aura of shrewdness and cunning. His eyes, however, were inverted triangles, colored green and gleaming with a predatory intensity, giving him a formidable appearance.

The woman, on the other hand, was a stark contrast. Towering over two meters, her physique was voluptuous. Her legs, rather than being slender like Qing Lan's, were full and fleshy. Coupled with her notably ample posterior, any observer would be compelled to remark: "A grand presence!"

More significant still was her aura.

Her husband, already exceedingly powerful, had reached the High Order Heavenly God realm. But she surpassed him, having attained the God King Realm.

It was evident that over the preceding centuries, the Order God King, who had once contended with Zhao Ji, had not only achieved new pinnacles of power but had also cultivated confidants at the God King level.

Observing the pair step forward, the elder instructed in a dispassionate tone, "Your objective on this mission is not to conquer that world."

"Instead, you are to conceal your identities to the greatest extent possible, gather intelligence, and devise a method to restore the 'World Channel.'"

"Once the 'World Channel' is operational once more, all matters will be resolved."

The elder's strategy was evidently quite sound, dispatching experts of the God King level while merely tasking them with repairing the 'World Channel'; the probability of success appeared exceptionally high.

However, the West God King, having listened intently from beginning to end, displayed a subtle crease of unease on his brow.

He regarded the God King couple, a sense of ominous premonition washing over him.....

-----

I have some matters to attend to today, so here is 5000 words for now.

------

Her husband's might was already substantial, having ascended to the High Order Heavenly God Realm. Yet, she wielded even greater power, having reached the God King Realm.

Undoubtedly, over those preceding centuries, the Order God King who once confronted Zhao Ji had forged immense strength. Not only had he achieved new pinnacles of power himself, but he had also cultivated confidants at the God King Realm level.

Observing the pair step forward, the elder imparted instructions with a measured tone, "Your objective in this undertaking is not to conquer that realm."

"Instead, you are to conceal your identities to the greatest extent possible, gather crucial intelligence, and devise a method to mend the 'World Channel.'"

"Once the 'World Channel' is restored, all will be harmoniously resolved."

The elder's strategy was clearly executed with great caution. Dispatching experts of the God King level while merely tasking them with the repair of the 'World Channel' suggested a highly probable success rate.

However, the West God King, who had listened intently from the beginning to the end, felt a subtle crease form between his brows.

Casting his gaze upon the God King couple, he was assailed by a lingering sensation of ill omen.....
