Qiu Tu offers his life to hold off the powerful Muxin Divine King for four days, revealing a plan that involves luring Muxin out of his territory. Elina, impressed but cautious, requests half a day to consider the proposal. While Qiu Tu learns about the Order Temple's structure and its power system, Elina consults with twelve shadowy figures regarding the risky plan.

This meeting is clearly an internal meeting of the Order Temple's western high-level officials. All those present are high-level figures from the temple's west.

Among them, besides Guardian God King Elina, the other 12 figures are evidently the heads of seven departments or other important senior officials.

According to the tradition that links position and strength with status in the Order Temple, they should all be Level 3 or Level 4 God Kings.

Therefore, although the Star Casting God King is authoritative in the Star-forging Pantheon, among these people, he is noticeably one of the lowest in status.

This also led to a moment of shock when Elina mentioned him by name to answer a question.

He did not answer Elina's question immediately but instead pondered with a gloomy expression for a moment before slowly speaking,

"Actually... I think this plan is not bad."

"Moreover, I don't understand why several God Kings believe there is danger involved."

Saying this, he finally seemed to make up his mind completely, then directed his aged gaze candidly at the God Kings and said,

"With this plan, as long as we carefully deduce, we'll find that apart from Qiu Tu himself facing danger and having to confront Muxin Divine King, there is no other danger for us."

He then meticulously listed the tasks that needed to be done on their side,

"Now the battle is tense, and the Order Heavenly Gods and God Kings entangled within the seven divine countries can't withdraw at all. There's nothing we need to do about that."

"While Elina, even though she's stepping out of the Wine God Country and leaving her Divine Country, will face a bit of danger,

"But... now the other four major paths regard the Chaos Camp as an enemy and won't hinder us at this time; and the Chaos Camp's assault on the Star-forging Divine Country was a spur-of-the-moment decision, not specifically targeting Elina."

"So... the probability of several Level 5 God Kings besieging is too low. The danger for Elina is also minimal."

"Therefore... all the risks are borne by Qiu Tu, so even if the plan doesn't succeed, we won't suffer much loss; and if it succeeds, we gain a great deal."

As he finished speaking, the Star Casting God King looked at Elina on the couch with his murky eyes and said, "Therefore... I believe there is nothing wrong with this plan."

"It could actually help us resolve this crisis."

Even though he spoke these words, there was still not much joy on the aged face of the Star Casting God King.

Seeing the Star Casting God King express support for her, a faint smile appeared on Elina's beautiful face.

Clearly... all this was within her calculations.

Even within the same organization or faction, each person's interests differ.

Most superiors find it hard to make unilateral decisions. The key is to clearly understand the interest needs of each subordinate, skillfully strike a balance, magnify supportive voices, weaken opposing voices, and achieve consensus to better implement their plans.

As the Guardian God King who has governed the West for two or three centuries, Elina is naturally familiar with the personalities and interests of her subordinates.

During this discussion, merely thinking with a finger could reveal the different attitudes and stances of these people.

It should be known that even within the Order Camp, some are radicals, others are conservatives; some aim to endure through the Chaotic Era, while others seek to provoke conflicts and unite with other major paths to directly counterattack the Chaos Camp.

Besides these political postures, each person also has selfish motives. For instance, someone holds a grudge against the Star Casting God King, someone eyes Elina's position, while others simply distrust newcomers.

Among everyone, the Star Casting God King is the direct participant in the entire matter. His interests align with hers, sharing the goal of ending this great war quickly.

More importantly... Qiu Tu presented upper, middle, and lower strategies, but only the upper strategy protects the Star Casting God King's interests, and Elina has no doubt he will agree.

Moreover, since the Star Casting God King is involved in this battle, his words carry significant weight, which is why Elina prompted him to speak.

Now, with the Star Casting God King speaking first, Elina's confidants seemed to seize the opportunity, voicing their agreement one after another.

So, it wasn't long before the supporting voices for the plan gained the upper hand.

The opponents, seeing the turn of the tide, also ceased to struggle and fell silent.

Seeing no further opposition, Elina narrowed her eyes slightly and summed up, "Since everyone has reached an agreement, we will let Qiu Tu make an attempt."

"Let's see if he can indeed pull it off."

Although she said this, most of the figures present showed little expression or lingering hesitation in their eyes.

This was evident from the final summary of the leading God King.

After noticing Elina's firm support for Qiu Tu, although he ultimately agreed to Elina's plan, he remarked,

"We know very little about Qiu Tu, not even his origins. There is no trust baseline."

"Furthermore, when he explained his plan, he withheld some information, making it even harder to trust him."

"What he's attempting can change the entire western situation, and if mishandled, no one knows what kind of chain reaction it might trigger."
