Hanhai God King attempts to disrupt Qiu Tu's selection process by invoking procedural rules and advocating for on-site confirmation over Qiu Tu's proposed "Shadow Selection." Qiu Tu, unfazed, counters by agreeing to postpone the selection and submit his method for deliberation, effectively undermining Hanhai God King's attempt to force his hand.

"You didn't choose anyone and just left. Isn't that wasting their time, having them come for nothing?"

Upon hearing the unrestrained provocation from the Hanhai God King, Qiu Tu suddenly came to attention, his fierce eyes falling upon the Hanhai God King.

Although Qiu Tu is just a first-grade Divine King, perhaps due to being accustomed to high status, he carries an impressive aura and pressure.

In that instant, even the second-grade Divine King, Hanhai God King, couldn't help but change his expression slightly.

Qiu Tu looked at the Hanhai God King for two seconds, then began speaking with a half-smile, "The Hanhai God King is quite thoughtful."

"Since that's the case, I'll also conduct an initial selection then."

Qiu Tu smiled, and the pressure suddenly diminished. The Hanhai God King couldn't help but regain composure.

However, he realized Qiu Tu's complexity at this moment as well. Coupled with Qiu Tu's voluntary concession, he doesn't dare to press further.

Thus, he mustered a smile, then also took a step back, "The Qiu Tu Divine King is indeed considerate of his subordinates."

Qiu Tu heard this, did not respond, but with hands behind his back, surveyed the Heavenly Gods below, then said to the Hanhai God King, "I remember Lord Hanhai mentioned that besides direct selection, if the Heavenly Gods encounter a Divine King they are interested in, they can recommend themselves, right?"

The entire situation quickly transformed through multiple twists, leaving the Hanhai God King momentarily unsure of Qiu Tu's intentions.

But he indeed said this, so he could only nod slightly.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu also nodded slightly.

He surveyed the Heavenly Gods below and spoke aloud, "Everyone heard what the Hanhai God King said."

"If any of you wish to become my vassals, you may recommend yourselves."

At this point, Qiu Tu suddenly changed tone without leaving room, "Of course, I'm not in a hurry."

"Before my 'secret selection' is approved through a high-level meeting, you can privately approach me to self-recommend."

"Then, I will hire you in advance, so you won't have to go through the secret selection."

The Hanhai God King felt increasingly uneasy as he listened.

Hold on! Private self-recommendation... this was indeed one of the methods I mentioned.

But... applied to Qiu Tu, how is it different from 'secret selection'?

Furthermore... this still results in the Heavenly Gods coming for nothing.

Just as this realization hit, Qiu Tu spoke again.

He surveyed the Heavenly Gods below and started, "Of course... I also know that some Heavenly Gods may have issues with me, or aren't interested. Originally, they may not want to become my vassals."

"Alright then. Any Heavenly God with these thoughts can now raise their hands to indicate."

Qiu Tu glanced at Jasmine next to him, then said, "Jasmine, make a record, and regardless of the self-recommendation results or the secret selection, you won't need to inform them."

"And this way, it won't waste their time."

Upon saying this, Qiu Tu's amiable gaze once again fell upon the Heavenly Gods below, "So, if you're willing to forfeit these two opportunities, raise your hand."

With Qiu Tu's words, the Heavenly Gods couldn't help but start looking at each other.

Yet, as they looked around, no one dared to raise their hand.

It's not that they all wish to become Qiu Tu's vassals.

The main thing is... this is merely an opportunity. Having this chance, they can carefully consider whether to participate or not.

But once they raise their hand now to forfeit, this opportunity is gone forever. Regret would be too late.

Unclear of Qiu Tu's true circumstances, no one wants to make such a rushed decision.

Moreover... this is different from raising hands to become Qiu Tu's vassal. Even without success, it retains a lasting goodwill.

Raising hands to refuse becoming Qiu Tu's vassal is a direct affront to Qiu Tu.

No matter Qiu Tu's identity issues, he's still a Divine King—who wants to offend him for no reason?

Thus, no one raised their hand.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu smiled contentedly, speaking, "Looks like everyone wants to become my vassal."

"In the coming days, carefully consider your decisions. I'll be waiting for your self-recommendations."

Finishing, Qiu Tu turned to the Hanhai God King, saying, "God King, it seems everyone wishes to become my vassals."

"Then let's settle it like this."

"Next, I'll be waiting for everyone's self-recommendation and prepare for the secret selection."

To be honest, the Hanhai God King, experienced as he is, realizes that Qiu Tu's lack of request for those wanting to be his vassals to raise their hands, while asking those who don't want to, is simply cunning.

But... Qiu Tu's actions didn't violate any 'rules,' and fit the usual norms. He can't delve further into it.

Thus, he could only forcefully smile and nod, responding, "Alright. We'll proceed as the Qiu Tu Divine King intends."

Seeing the Hanhai God King finally concede, Qiu Tu gave him a derisive glance before turning to leave the main hall.

Zhao Ji followed closely behind, and Jasmine smiled at the Hanhai God King before also exiting the hall.

Her smile was pure, pristine, yet the Hanhai God King felt a deep-seated derision within it.

Recalling Jasmine's earlier sarcasms upon their meeting, he suddenly felt his chest tight, nearly gasping out of breath...

Meanwhile, those hundred Heavenly Gods in the hall were exchanging glances.

They weren't fools; they were Order Deities, quite adept at resolving overt and covert negotiations within these rules.

Qiu Tu and the Hanhai God King's confrontation was all in their sight.
