Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty! Chapter 1886 - 754: That's a Different Price
Previously on Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty!...
"And more importantly... in the plan, he said he could use the 'Cataclysmic ability' to hold back the Muxin Divine King for four days..."
The Divine King chuckled lightly, "Forgive my foolishness. I really can't imagine how powerful a level one Divine King's 'Cataclysmic ability' has to be to confine a Guardian God King."
"I don't even know if he's crazy, or if I am."
However, despite many skeptical voices, Elina's control over the western part of the 'temple' was still strong.
Moreover, this plan indeed required nothing from the 'temple,' so eventually, under Elina's promotion, it was approved for discussion.
After the plan was discussed, the leaders also deliberated on other matters, and then they all dispersed.
The issue that had been troubling me for a while was finally about to be resolved, and Elina noticeably relaxed a lot.
So she directly called the maid, preparing to drink some wine to celebrate.
It turned out, just as she summoned the maid, she suddenly discovered... at some point after withdrawing the projection, the Star Casting God King had projected again.
Seeing Elina looking at him, the Star Casting God King quickly bowed and greeted, "Elina, my Lady."
Knowing that the Star Casting God King had something to discuss with her, Elina also adjusted her expression.
She sat on the couch, looked at the Star Casting God King, nodded slightly, and then asked, "Star Casting, you've returned, is there something you need?"
Hearing Elina's words, the elderly face of the Star Casting God King was filled with seriousness. He nodded and then said, "Yes."
"It's about the plan to be executed, and also Qiu Tu."
Upon hearing his words, Elina furrowed her brows lightly. She was not someone who liked to repeatedly dwell on a single matter, and she despised complications after making a decision.
Thus, her expression was somewhat stiff as she said coolly, "Go ahead."
It was clear the Star Casting God King had prepared his speech for his return. He began speaking with a severe expression,
"My Lady, weren't you always a bit curious why I, upon receiving the 'Underground Divine Nation' coordinates from the 'Chaos Camp,' asked for aid from you and Lord Mitchell without much hesitation?" (Chapter 737)
Seeing Elina nod, the Star Casting God King then explained, "At the time, I wasn't able to say because everything was merely my speculation."
"And now I can tell you. It's because... Qiu Tu."
"Qiu Tu?" Although Elina was a wine lover, she couldn't be a simple person to become the Guardian God King.
So, in an instant, she connected it to the things Qiu Tu and Yao Qin discussed when she met them today.
Thus, she immediately understood the Star Casting God King's meaning.
Her brow furrowed deeper, she pondered for a moment, then spoke, "You mean... you suspect Qiu Tu, or rather... Yao Qin leaked the coordinates of the seven 'Underground Divine Nations' to 'Chaos Camp,' which led to their invasion?"
The elderly face of the Star Casting God King showed no expression as he straightforwardly said, "I'm not suspecting, I'm certain."
He continued, "This matter is just too coincidental."
"Yao Qin was just subverted by Qiu Tu, and then the coordinates of all the 'Underground Divine Nations' of the 'Star Casting Divine System' were leaked."
"My Lady... don't you think it's too coincidental?"
Hearing the Star Casting God King's words, Elina nodded slightly in agreement with his analysis.
Seeing Elina recognize his view, the Star Casting God King continued, "And later, when Qiu Tu contacted you in the 'Chaotic Western Capital,' he proactively proposed that he could resolve this battle."
"I can't help but suspect there might be some issues within all this."
"For instance... perhaps Qiu Tu is actually a spy of the 'Chaos Camp.' The 'Chaos Camp' might want to support him to gain merit in the 'temple' and then... achieve some purpose."
After hearing the Star Casting God King's analysis, Elina's expression grew more solemn.
By now, the maid had already brought the wine, and Elina casually picked up a glass, swirling it while she contemplated.
Due to the information disparity, she previously hadn't connected the Star Casting God King and Qiu Tu.
Even when Qiu Tu introduced Yao Qin earlier, she hadn't linked it to the 'Underground Divine Nation' coordinates of the Star Casting God King.
Now, having listened to the Star Casting God King's conjecture, she started to harbor doubts.
She pondered and said, "So... that's why there are oddities and inexplicable places in Qiu Tu's several plans?"
"For example... he has never explained why he thinks he can hold back Muxin."
Upon hearing her words, the Star Casting God King nodded. His turbid eyes flickered with a mysterious light.
He said, "And also... my Lady, if you think carefully about these three strategies of Qiu Tu, in fact... there weren't any particularly remarkable parts."
"These strategies, we could casually come up with seven or eight."
"But... why didn't we consider these plans this time?"
"It's not that we couldn't think of them; it's because... they were too radical. If they succeeded, there wouldn't be much benefit, and if they failed, a series of problems might follow."
"Our 'Order Path' naturally likes to proceed methodically and dislikes risks."
"Except when absolutely necessary, we wouldn't consider such aggressive plans."
Saying this, the Star Casting God King paused, then he deeply looked at Elina and said, "Qiu Tu couldn't possibly be unaware of this."
"So, from the beginning... he might have deliberately put out two plans we wouldn't agree with as a foil."
