Qiu Tu, despite being promised induction into the Execution Department and arrangements for his vassals, suspects the Heavy Stone God King's insincerity. He learns from the Hanhai God King that he is entitled to 15 Heavenly God-level vassals, a surprisingly large number that could cause concern among other deities. As the Hanhai God King explains the potential complications of selecting so many vassals at once, Jasmine interjects with a teasing remark.

Jasmine's moist almond-shaped eyes blinked, her fair face full of simple innocence.

Just like a moment ago, she was merely speaking offhandedly.

However, "the speaker has no intent," but the listener does. Earlier, Qiu Tu was just pondering those experiences without delving deeper.

Now, upon hearing Jasmine's reminder, he suddenly realized.

Yeah... isn't the most likely reason the Hanhai God King kindly explained the matter of recruiting vassals for me in advance laying the groundwork for something going wrong later?

And after all this preparation for the mutual selection of the Heavenly Gods and Divine Kings, the next logical step is likely from here—like manipulating the results of choosing vassals, for instance... ensuring I don't get any Heavenly Gods.

In this way, without vassal Heavenly Gods, I not only can't advance but my abilities won't meet the requirements for a deputy in the department;

Moreover, having no confidants familiar with the "Execution Department" means I can't understand the department's situation in a short time.

Plus, with no one willing to be chosen as vassals from the Heavenly Gods, the news will likely spread quickly through the "Execution Department," causing my reputation to plummet, and it will take immense heart power to regain authority and trust later.

With one misstep leading to another, I might soon find myself marginalized.

'This is a bloodless but lethal conspiracy.'

Thinking about how the Hanhai God King was just explaining the dos and don'ts of choosing vassals, Qiu Tu couldn't help setting his guard against the Hanhai God King to the maximum.

'This old fox is definitely a sly old fox, better be careful.'

After silently cursing the Hanhai God King in his heart, Qiu Tu began mulling over how to break the situation.....

Meanwhile, after giving Jasmine a glance, the Hanhai God King continued walking while pondering.

As the confidant of the Heavy Stone God King, the Hanhai God King has always been his advisor.

So, although the Heavy Stone God King somewhat underestimated Qiu Tu, the Hanhai God King became highly wary of Qiu Tu after studying some of his information.

Although there isn't much information about Qiu Tu, just looking at his current circle: a secondary Divine King taken from Star Casting God King, the mysterious Divine King Zhao Ji who just arrived at the "Wine God Country" these days, two mysterious Heavenly Gods, and an "Underground Divine Country" with unknown reserve deities.

This already forms the prototype of a mature divine system.

One must know that in the entire temple division, there are only a few divine systems. Hence, Qiu Tu is undoubtedly a potential seed.

It's precisely because of this assessment that the Hanhai God King used his lifetime of acting skills when facing Qiu Tu.

Besides being forced to obey the Heavy Stone God King's orders to keep Qiu Tu out, he was flawless in his interaction with him.

He even used teaching experience to build rapport with Qiu Tu, lower his guard, and... lay the groundwork for the upcoming plan.

Who would have known that just as Qiu Tu was being deceived, it gets exposed by a little maid?

Combining the little maid's earlier sarcastic remarks, the Hanhai God King couldn't help but suspect the maid's identity.

However, no matter how he probed and observed, nothing unusual was found.

'Could it really be just a coincidence?'

Due to insufficient clues, in the end, he dismissed it as his imagination.

Especially seeing the carved jade palace not far away, he cared even less.

After all, in his view, whether the maid intentionally hinted or inadvertently exposed, it didn't matter.

Being only a minute or two away from the "Heavenly God Department," even if Qiu Tu guessed his plan, there wasn't enough time to respond.

'Everything is set.'

Thinking this way, the Hanhai God King calmed his mind and prepared to follow through with the plan, watching as events unfold....

At this moment, while Qiu Tu and the Hanhai God King each harbored their thoughts, behind them, Jasmine cast a proud glance at Zhao Ji beside her, then sidled up to her and, in a coquettish tone, communicated with her spirit,

"Sister, it seems I've helped brother again. You won't be mad, right?~"

Zhao Ji:....

....

Soon, led by the Hanhai God King, the three arrived at the "Heavenly God Department."

As the largest department of the "temple," most Heavenly Gods joining the "temple" are assigned to the "Execution Department" after training, to perform various missions and accumulate achievements.

Therefore, if a Divine King is promoted and needs to choose Heavenly God vassals, they generally come to the "Heavenly God Department."

The Heavenly Gods are accustomed to meeting with Divine Kings from time to time and mutually selecting each other.

However, today's selection was obviously different.

Because, a couple of days ago, there were whispers among the Heavenly Gods about the "Heavenly God Department" Divine Kings gossiping about Qiu Tu.

It's said that Qiu Tu came from a remote world as a Child of Fate, and rose to a Divine King only with the help of his world's Qi Yun.

This resulted in his shallow foundation, making him an ordinary Level 1 Divine King.

But he somehow got entangled with the "Chaos Camp," resolved the two major camp wars, and thus became the deputy of the "Execution Department."

But actually, both Guardian God King Elina and the Execution Department's in-charge God King Heavy Stone were highly alert to him, looking for his flaws.

The official arena is the most well-informed and has the most destructive power in terms of information.
