Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty! Chapter 1910 - 761: They Are Creating World Consciousness
Previously on Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty!...
"Here? Sit down."
Entering the room, the scent of sandalwood greeted him along with the voice of the one in white.
Qiu Tu looked up and saw the man in white sitting cross-legged on a low couch inside the room, a wooden table in front of him, leisurely sipping tea.
Maybe it was because he had lived in the human world for too long, or perhaps human culture indeed had a unique way of assimilation, but every time Qiu Tu met the man in white, he felt that in terms of manners and attire, the man seemed more human than an evil god.
This also made him feel a certain closeness to the man in white.
Sometimes, he would even recall the times when they were in Xinjie City together.
Back then, the man in white was Yan Chen's secretary, and Qiu Tu was Yan Chen's confidant.... Both were merely insignificant figures in Xinjie City.
Somehow, at some point, both of them had become Divine Kings. Not to mention Xinjie City or even Dongye State, even the Eighth Sanctuary had become insignificant before them.
'Indeed, Old Yan is impressive, having produced two Divine Kings from under him.'
While amusing himself with the thought of his old boss, Qiu Tu stepped forward to sit across from the man in white.
Despite having not worked together for a long time, their mutual understanding was still intact. As soon as Qiu Tu sat down, the man in white had already poured the tea.
He gestured with his hand, "Try it. This is from the tea trees I brought back from the 'Boundless Heart Sea', grown by the 'Life God' I hired in the 'Chaotic Western Capital'."
Qiu Tu picked up the teacup, saw no warning from his 'Crisis Intuition', and drank it down.
As Qiu Tu drank the tea, the man in white began to speak slowly.
But instead of discussing serious matters directly, he began by talking about other things, "Yesterday, it seems something major happened in the 'Chaotic Western Capital'."
Qiu Tu feigned ignorance and asked, "What major event?"
The man in white gave Qiu Tu a deep look, then said, "Someone was recklessly attacking and assassinating a Heavenly God in the 'Chaotic Western Capital' and was eventually surrounded and taken down."
He added, "When it happened, nearly half of the 'Chaotic Western Capital' was alarmed, with many deities going to watch the commotion."
Qiu Tu wasn't surprised that the man in white knew about this incident.
The entire 'Chaotic Western Capital' was the man in white's Divine Country; his will could exist in any place, any corner, so it wasn't unusual for him to know about this.
However, Qiu Tu didn't understand why the man in white brought it up.
So he didn't reveal anything about Zhao Ji, merely responding with an "Oh" and then saying, "And then what?"
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the man in white said with a calm tone, "Recently, I think I saw someone trailing behind the 'Princess Xingyue' and her entourage. Not sure what they were up to."
The man in white's words made Qiu Tu's heart skip a beat, though his expression remained unchanged.
Indeed, what he feared happened last night.
He knew that Zhao Ji's actions couldn't be flawless, and he had even suspected that the man in white might have seen it.
Now it seemed his worries were indeed justified.
However, at this moment, Qiu Tu didn't know how much the man in white knew about the matter, nor what his intentions were, so he could only feign ignorance and continue probing, "And then?"
Hearing this, the man in white poured himself a cup of tea, then spoke gently, "I've taken care of any potential witnesses."
"But that doesn't mean the 'Destruction Tyrant' can't find out."
"After all, there are many strange abilities in this world, like the Heavenly God Skills. So, be extra careful."
With that, the man in white didn't wait for Qiu Tu's reaction and directly shifted to the main topic, asking, "Have you read the book I gave you yesterday?"
Qiu Tu was still immersed in the previous topic brought up by Old Bai.
His mind raced as he couldn't quite grasp Old Bai's true intentions.
Did this guy clean up after Zhao Ji?
Was it for his sake? Or for the Chaos Witch?
Was he really just giving a warning by mentioning this, with no other intentions?
Talking with smart people can be troublesome this way.
The same sentence could have a thousand meanings. The problem is, you can't fathom which layer it belongs to.
Thinking this, Qiu Tu decided to temporarily suppress the topic and plan to think it over slowly later.
Thus, he refocused and started answering the man in white's question.
He put down the teacup and said softly, "I've read it."
The man in white looked up at Qiu Tu and then asked, "Any thoughts?"
The two were too familiar with each other, knew each other inside out, with no need for pretenses, so Qiu Tu directly said, "I might have guessed the reason why you all are assigning me to go to the 'Order Temple'."
"Oh?" The man in white showed a gentle smile on his face. With interest, he looked at Qiu Tu and said, "Go on."
Qiu Tu looked at the man in white and then said, "Yesterday you told me that each path has its own way."
"The path of your 'Chaos Path' should be 'The saint does not act benevolently, treating all things as straw dogs', or 'Diminishing the insufficient to provide the surplus'."
"In simpler terms, it's about sacrificing most of the chaotic gods to elevate the power of the top-tier warriors."
"This might be because the gods of the 'Chaos Path' aren't the most reasonable. The more there are, the harder they are to control, so they can only unite a small group."
The man in white smiled ambiguously, neither agreeing nor denying.
Qiu Tu continued, "But the 'Order Path' is different from the 'Chaos Path'."
"The deities of the 'Order Path' all like rules, preferring to act within them."
"So theoretically, the more there are, the more force the Order Path can consolidate."
