Qiu Tu, who claims to have a way to end the war, meets with Elina. He reveals he is from the 'Boundless Heart Sea,' a world previously isolated by the 'Star Casting God King.' Qiu Tu's subordinate, Yao Qin, explains that he was once a subordinate of the Star Casting God King but defected after Qiu Tu showed him mercy. Elina understands Qiu Tu's intention to leverage his conflict with the Star Casting God King and acknowledges awareness of their animosity.

"I can make a promise here, as long as you can smoothly resolve this war, I can guarantee the safety of you and those around you, including your world."

"After you join the 'Temple,' the Star Casting God King can at most use the rules to trouble you. Should he dare to employ means beyond the rules, feel free to come to me for justice."

"I will stop, reproach, punish, and even... dismantle the entire Star Casting Divine System."

Upon saying this, Elina paused and then added, "Of course... given how poorly the Star Casting Divine System has performed in this war, it's very likely they'll first face weakening by the 'Temple' once the war ends."

"By then... they might not pose much of a threat to you."

Elina's promise could be considered fair, neither overly generous nor perfunctory. However, for Qiu Tu, it was sufficient.

The 'Order Path' is adept at playing with the rules. The Star Casting God King is like this, and so is Qiu Tu.

Yet 'rules' are indifferent to strength.

Therefore, as long as 'outside moves' are forbidden, Qiu Tu is confident he can handle the Star Casting God King.

Thinking thus, Qiu Tu couldn't help but slightly bow, then said, "Thank you, sir, for backing us up."

Seeing Qiu Tu agree to this preliminary condition, Elina's expression resumed a more relaxed demeanor.

She lounged back on the couch again, then looked at Qiu Tu, lazily inquiring, "Since that's the case, then tell me your plan."

"How do you intend to stop this war?"

"I hope I can hear an answer that satisfies me."

Obviously, even though Elina doesn't seem like a responsible Guardian God King, she still feels incredibly troubled facing the ongoing assault from the 'Chaos Camp.' So she's searching for methods to solve this war.

Upon hearing her words, whether it be Qing Lan, Candle Dance, Yao Qin, or Qing Er, they all curiously looked at Qiu Tu.

Evidently, they too want to know what solution Qiu Tu has for this large-scale war.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu didn't immediately respond verbally but rather smiled at Elina and then asked back, "Sir, resolving this war isn't difficult."

"I have three strategies in my hand: upper, middle, and lower strategies for you to choose from. I wonder which one the sir is interested in?"

Seeing Qiu Tu so confident, Elina's eyes also filled with interest.

Although she's anxious, she clearly isn't in a rush for this moment. So she reclined there, asking with great interest, "Then speak of the lower strategy first?"

Upon hearing Elina, Qiu Tu's expression also turned serious.

He said earnestly, "Whether in business or war, the most crucial thing is to cut losses in time."

"A competent general shouldn't let the deterioration of the situation go unchecked just because of already lost troops while continuing to invest new forces."

"This will only make the entire battle more chaotic and lose more troops in the process."

"Sunk costs should never be part of major decisions."

"So... my lower strategy is to abandon five 'Underground Divine Countries' of the 'Star Casting Divine System,' sacrificing those five 'Underground Divine Countries' to attract and hold off the Heavenly God and God Kings of the 'Chaos Camp.'

"Concentrate forces in the remaining two divine countries, destroy the 'World Channel,' kill the enemy, and then shift 'World Coordinates.'

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the entire hall instantly fell silent...

Not because Qiu Tu's plan was particularly good. The 'lower strategy' clearly is just that—a lower strategy, without much intricacy or praiseworthy aspects.

What shocked them was Qiu Tu's boldness and ruthlessness.

Everyone knows about cutting one's losses, but when faced with the moment of loss, how many have the courage to envision and execute this action...

Moreover, abandoning five 'Underground Divine Countries' is an excessively heavy loss, akin to a direct defeat.

If it truly were the result, Elina might also face criticism from the High Order God King.

However... although the plan is ordinary, it does indeed achieve what Qiu Tu calls "solving this war," even if in a somewhat ungraceful manner.

Thus, while a bit disappointed, they still hold some expectations for Qiu Tu's subsequent middle and upper strategies...

So, reclined there, revealing fair skin, Elina yawned lazily and said, "What about the middle strategy?"

-------

The last day of the month, please cast your monthly tickets. Monthly tickets expire and won't carry over.

Then next month marks the 10th anniversary of the starting point, and our previous two chapters of side stories have been very well received. The editor came to ask whether I could write another side story (the side stories of Zhao Ji and the Chaos Witch).

This month's schedule has become more chaotic for me, so it hasn't been finished. I'll see if I can finish it tomorrow. If it's done, I'll participate; if not, I won't.

If there is a side story, it'll definitely be updated at midnight, and won't at other times. People can keep their monthly tickets for the side story and vote then. If there isn't one after midnight, it means no participation, just vote as usual.

Regardless of participation, there will be a monthly ticket raffle, the prize being an iPad. Everyone is welcome to get involved.
