Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty! Chapter 1884 - 753: Appreciation from the Guardian God King
Previously on Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty!...
Plus, it's currently the "Chaotic Era," which has augmented his power, making him even more formidable.
The reason why Elina is hesitant, wanting to save the seven Divine Countries but not taking action, is because she is wary of the Muxin Divine King.
If Elina is like this, there's no need to mention other Divine Kings or Heavenly Gods.
Now Qiu Tu claims he can hold off the Muxin Divine King! This indeed shocked both Elina and Qing Er slightly.
This time, before Elina could speak, Qing Er, the Divine King, spoke first.
She looked at Qiu Tu and skeptically said, "Divine King Qiu Tu, if I am not mistaken, you should only be a first-level God King. But Muxin is a fifth-level God King. On what basis can you hold him off?"
Hearing Qing Er's words, Qiu Tu just smiled. He lowered his head to pat his clothes, then raised his head with a serious face and said, "With my life."
Looking at Elina, he said, "Your Grace, I am willing to make a military pledge. If I cannot hold off the Muxin Divine King for four days, I am willing to accept any punishment!"
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Qing Er immediately fell silent. And Elina also lightly frowned, as if pondering the reliability of Qiu Tu's words.
At this time, Qiu Tu, as if casting an enchantment, slowly said, "Your Grace might recall the inferior and medium strategies…"
"Although my plan might be a bit aggressive, it is absolutely actionable… "
"Both the inferior and medium strategies involve risk on you and the 'temple,' and you hesitated while pondering them."
"So why do you hesitate when the superior strategy, with all risks undertaken by me, is presented?"
Admittedly, Qiu Tu is indeed persuasive. Elina, who was already somewhat hesitant, heard Qiu Tu say this, causing her eyes to sparkle even more intensely…
She hesitated for a moment, then asked, "How will you hold off Muxin?"
In front of Qing Er, Qiu Tu could retort, but facing Elina, he had to provide a proper answer.
Therefore…. Qiu Tu directly delivered the premeditated words he had long prepared.
He slowly said, "You vetoed the medium strategy because the Muxin Divine King is too powerful in the 'Chaotic Western Capital.'
"However… now that you are personally cleansing the invading Chaos Heavenly Gods and Divine Kings from the seven 'Underground Divine Countries,'
"The Muxin Divine King must leave the 'Chaotic Western Capital' to stop you. In doing so, he will lose his amplifications within his Divine Country, substantially weakening his power."
"And it just so happens that I have companions who can amplify my power, and my own cataclysmic ability primarily serves to control people… "
"Therefore…. "
Upon saying this, Qiu Tu stopped, deliberately leaving a blank for Elina to fill in with imagination.
Sure enough, following Qiu Tu's outline, Elina completed the picture of Qiu Tu's plan in her mind. This added further enlightenment and contemplation to her gaze.
However, as the Guardian Divine King of the Western Order Temple, she was apparently quite cautious, so after hesitating for a while, she still said, "Divine King Qiu Tu, I have come to understand your plan."
"I need half a day to think about it."
"By tonight, I will give you a formal answer."
Pausing here, she continued, "During this time, you might as well sort out the procedures for joining the 'temple,' and then choose a department you're interested in."
"Thus, once you achieve merit, you can elevate your position and power within that department."
"For more specifics, let Qing Er give you a detailed introduction."
After speaking, she picked up her cup of wine and began to sip it lightly.
Apparently, this was a gesture of dismissal.
Thus, Qiu Tu tactfully bowed and willingly followed Qing Er out of the hall.
Needless to say, the Guardian Divine King indeed has the presence of a Guardian Divine King.
Qiu Tu and others did not feel it inside the hall, and due to Elina's gentle demeanor, they did not feel much pressure.
However, the moment they stepped out of the hall, they suddenly felt relieved, realizing the amount of pressure they had endured inside.
Especially little Qing Lan, being the least experienced among them, had her back drenched in sweat. Due to this, she received quite a few glares from Candle Dance.
In contrast, Qing Er, who often dealt with Elina, was evidently much more at ease.
She neither noticed nor cared about the oddities of the group but rather businesslike explained the situation of the 'Order Temple' to Qiu Tu.
She said, "The 'temple' is the affiliation of all Order Heavenly Gods and Divine Kings, and also the embodiment of 'Order.'"
"Thus, the entire 'temple' is governed by very strict rules and systems."
"Each department has its own duties, and each level comes with its own treatment and power."
"Our Western Temple, for example, has seven departments: the Archives Department, Execution Department, Management Department, Training Department… "
"Each department has a minister and several vice ministers, all positions held by Divine Kings, and promotions or demotions are based on contributions, affecting their power enhancement or reduction… "
Hearing this, Qiu Tu became curious and asked, "How does this influence work? Isn't the power of a Divine King all their own divine might?"
This question from Qiu Tu was clearly shared by many newly joined God Kings, so Qing Er was not surprised. She slowly explained,
"It's very simple. Within the 'temple' system, the power and realm of God Kings are divided into two parts."
"The power one owns personally and the temple's addition… "
"There's no need to explain the power one owns personally," she pointed to Qiu Tu and said, "Just like before you joined the temple, you were a first-level God King, and whether you devour or subdue a Heavenly God, it's all yours."
"It's personal power that belongs solely to you, no one can take it away, not even the temple."
Pausing here, she continued,
"As for the 'temple addition,' it's the greatest allure for Deities of the Order Path — the allocation authority of Order Path Heavenly Gods… "
Qiu Tu blinked, then carefully listened to Qing Er's explanation.
...
Meanwhile, just as Qiu Tu had left the hall.
Elina sat on the couch, and unbeknownst to anyone, twelve silhouettes appeared beside her.
Those silhouettes were somewhat ethereal, clearly projected through special means.
At that moment, Elina had just finished speaking, her expression unreadable, she said, "That's the situation. Now, share your thoughts on the feasibility of this plan."
As soon as Elina finished speaking, one of the silhouettes spoke, "What do you mean by feasibility? Does this plan even have feasibility?"
"Why trust a God King who has never joined the 'temple,' who has never accomplished anything?"
"Just because of his mouth?"
Hearing his words, the other silhouettes nodded in agreement, echoing, "Indeed, this plan places everything on Qiu Tu."
"But he… has never proven himself."
"How can we trust him?"
"I find it too risky."
At this moment, amidst many voices of dissent, Elina slowly questioned, "What danger is implied in this plan?"
"Apart from Qiu Tu having to face the Muxin Divine King, what danger is there for us, or for anyone else?"
