Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty! Chapter 1895 756: Qiu Tu: You Want Me to Be a Double Agent? (Monthly Ticket iPad Giveaway!)

Speaking of this, she looked at Qiu Tu and then asked, "Although you just arrived at the 'Ancient Continent' and don't know much about the situation, you should have heard of the term 'Chaotic Era,' right?"

Qiu Tu nodded and then added, "Yes. During the 'Chaotic Era,' the entire 'Ancient Continent' will become lawless; weather, terrain, and the growth of all things will become extremely chaotic."

Elina nodded and then said, "Yes. But... you should have guessed that with a 'Chaotic Era,' there should be other eras."

"For example... 'Era of Order,' 'Era of Destruction,' 'Era of Mystery', etc."

Qiu Tu nodded again, as he had indeed guessed this.

Elina said, "Although the 'World Origin' hasn't provided any information, based on years of observation and summary, we can still conclude the next era is most likely the 'Era of Order' or the 'Era of Immortality'."

"Therefore, the various paths have actually been preparing for the next era these years."

"Especially our 'Order Temple,' we have long been preparing for the arrival of that day."

Upon hearing Elina's words, a hint of realization appeared on Qiu Tu's face, but he felt something was off in his heart.

He was all too familiar with Elina's way of speaking; it was just his usual way of avoiding heavy topics or keeping big secrets under wraps.

What Elina said was certainly true, but... whether it's referring to the white clothes or Qing Er, it must mean more than just this.

Elina was surely holding back because she did not fully trust him yet.

'Could it be... the 'Order Temple' has prepared a secret weapon to be used during the 'Era of Order'?'

'Or perhaps... a certain trump card that even the 'Chaos Witch' fears, something that could reshape order?'

Although he had some guesses in his mind, Qiu Tu didn't say it out loud.

He knew now wasn't the time; he needed to continue to increase his favorability with Elina to gain trust before he could discuss this topic.

So he followed Elina's words and asked, "But... when will the era change?"

Sure enough, without discussing that secret, Elina was still willing to answer a thing or two for Qiu Tu.

She leaned back, her full and soft shape pushing the half-open neckline into a full moon-like curve, revealing a large area of creamy skin. She said, "Generally speaking, every 60 years or so, the 'Ancient Continent' will undergo an era change."

Qiu Tu furrowed his brows slightly, keenly sensing something amiss.

As expected, Elina continued, "However, this timeframe is not completely fixed."

"According to the patterns we've discovered, the duration of an 'Era' is linked to the combined strength of the Six Great Paths."

"Roughly speaking, it's the proportion of the 'Cataclysm Path' in the overall strength of the Six Great Paths that affects the duration of an era."

"For example... the time for the three major upper paths often exceeds 80 years, while the time for the three major lower paths often falls below 50 years."

"Like the weakest 'Immortal Path,' it only lasted for 20 years last time."

"And this time, the 'Chaos Path' has already lasted for 110 years."

Upon hearing Elina's words, a gleam flashed in Qiu Tu's eyes as he quickly sorted through the information in his mind.

In simpler terms:

The Ancient Continent undergoes a cycle every 360 years, with these 360 years divided among the Six Great Paths, and the amount of time they receive is determined by their strength ratio.

'In that case... the strong remain strong, and the weak remain weak.'

'Gradually, the weaker paths will vanish.'

'Indeed... during these long ages, some paths have already disappeared...'

As Qiu Tu thought about this, Elina drank another sip of wine, then said drowsily, "In truth, strictly speaking, our 'Order Path' is not inferior to the 'Chaos Path.'"

"Moreover, since both sides are completely opposed, they are wary of us, wanting to figure out our preparations for the 'Era of Order' and make targeted arrangements. This is very reasonable."

"But..." Elina looked at Qiu Tu and said, "You must be clear about your stance; you are now a member of the 'Temple.'"

"Everything should prioritize the temple. Eventually, this world belongs to 'Order.'

Qiu Tu knew this was Elina reminding him, so he quickly bowed slightly and replied, "Rest assured, my lady, I will certainly prioritize the interests of the 'Temple,' letting the light of 'Order' illuminate the entire multiverse."

Hearing Qiu Tu's promise, Elina nodded slightly in satisfaction.

Subsequently, the two delved into discussing this 'upper strategy' plan.

Since both were frank with each other, there were no secrets held back. Plus, this 'upper strategy' was essentially a play, so they quickly finalized all the details and agreed to start executing the plan tomorrow.

Thus, after finishing the discussion of this plan, the intoxicated Elina then voluntarily sent Qiu Tu away from the 'Wine Pool Courtyard.'

Watching Qiu Tu slowly leave her sight, Elina's eyes gradually became clearer, as if the previous drunkenness was just a facade.

At this moment, Qing Er appeared by Elina's side, at some undetermined time.

Qing Er glanced in the direction Qiu Tu left and then softly asked, "My lady, do you... really trust him?"

She considered for a moment and then said, "Though his explanations are quite good, and his overall performance is indeed excellent."
