Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty! Chapter 1956 - 774: Elina: Give Qiu Tu Thirty Percent
Previously on Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty!...
'Qiu Tu... did he guess something?'
'Why did he probe my opinion of Larilo?'
'This isn't normal....'
Thinking this, Jasmine's gaze turned gloomy. She closed her eyes and reviewed all her conversations with Qiu Tu; after confirming that none of her answers had exposed any problems, she finally let out a small sigh of relief.
'Good thing I sealed my memories in time, otherwise with his level of sharpness, he'd probably have really discovered something....'
With that thought, Jasmine's brows knitted slightly, and the degree of importance she attached to Qiu Tu rose sharply once again.
She murmured softly, "What a talent...."
"If a talent like this cannot be used by the 'Chaos' side, then he must be destroyed...."
Thinking of this, it was as if she made some sort of decision in her heart. She took out a Communication Treasure, intending to contact the one in white first.
'Fortunately, nothing was exposed today, I can stall for a bit.'
'There should still be some time left for evaluation....'
However, what she didn't know was that, at the same time, Qiu Tu was sitting in the courtyard, also going over all of his conversations with her.
Only, Qiu Tu had obviously reached a conclusion completely different from hers.
'If someone manages to perfectly dodge all the questions during a chat, that in itself is actually the biggest problem....'
'In our conversation just now, Larilo had practically gone completely invisible next to Jasmine. And in all of Jasmine's answers, the focus was always on me, while Larilo was neglected.'
'You have to know... Larilo is Zhao Ji's younger sister. And Jasmine cares so much about Zhao Ji, how could she possibly ignore Larilo like that?'
'This shows she's deliberately avoiding this topic.'
'So... my guess was right, the Chaos Witch really is plotting something with Larilo.'
At this moment, the expression on Qiu Tu's face slowly faded, turning into a blank look.
If his guess was true, then in the future he would very likely have to stand against that legendary Chaos Queen who, by her power alone, set off the Chaotic Era.
She was a true powerhouse standing at the very peak of this World. The pressure from that could easily be imagined.
However... precisely because of this, everything became all the more interesting.
"Hoo." Exhaling a deep breath, blazing flames once again ignited in Qiu Tu's eyes.
So what if she's the Chaos Witch, isn't she just a High Order Divine King?
It's not like she's the only High Order Divine King in this World!
As long as he made proper use of the resources around him, it wasn't impossible for him to achieve High Order Divine King himself!
This World is just like that—so long as your strength is sufficient, all obstacles resolve themselves!
With that thought, Qiu Tu no longer hesitated, and prepared to once again go select his Affiliated Heavenly Gods.
During this period, after a few rounds of momentum-building by Qiu Tu, he had already gained some prestige and influence within the Execution Department.
Adding to that this recent great battle, where he mobilized a hundred Heavenly Gods and very smoothly completed the Mission, earning merit, his status in the minds of the Heavenly Gods of the Execution Department rose even higher.
This could also be seen from how the Loyalty of these Heavenly Gods had been steadily increasing.
And over these days, Qiu Tu had also received some Heavenly Gods volunteering themselves. Combining that with the Loyalty he had observed while leading them during this period, picking out ten Affiliated Heavenly Gods was actually a very simple matter.
With this group of Affiliated Heavenly Gods loyal to him, plus Confidants of the Boundless Heart Sea like Guan Xiao and the mother-daughter pair of Zhi Yan Heavenly King, Qiu Tu could be considered to have completely found his footing in the temple.
On top of that, this time he had pulled a scheme on the Star Casting God King and Heavy Stone God King, giving the two of them a handle of colluding with the Chaos Camp.
When the time was right, Qiu Tu would be able to completely reverse offense and defense.
Thinking this, Qiu Tu also called over Zhao Ji and Larilo, preparing to go to the Execution Department to select Affiliated Heavenly Gods and then be promoted to Second-level Divine King....
.....
However, what he also didn't know was that... just as he got up to head for the Execution Department—
In the grand hall of the Wine God Country, Elina was leaning on a couch, drinking while gazing with drunken, hazy eyes at the Star Casting God King and Heavy Stone God King standing below. Qing Er God King stood at her side.
Perhaps because she'd had quite a bit to drink, or perhaps because she had long expected the arrival of the Star Casting God King, Elina narrowed her eyes slightly, the corners of her lips holding a faint, indiscernible smile.
"Star Casting, Heavy Stone, you both clearly knew I was in seclusion for Cultivation, yet still came to disturb me. Is there some urgent matter?"
"Do you have any idea what a grave offense it is to disturb my Cultivation?"
Hearing Elina's words, the Star Casting God King and Heavy Stone God King exchanged a glance, then bowed in unison.
The Star Casting God King spoke, "Your Grace, we indeed have an urgent matter to report to you."
Elina hooked a strand of hair falling beside her cheek, lightly twirling it as she asked, "What urgent matter?"
The Star Casting God King said excitedly, "It's a great piece of good news."
He said, "My Lord, during the period of your seclusion, I, Heavy Stone God King, and Qiu Tu God King jointly drew up a counter-strategy against the Chaos Camp."
"We used Qiu Tu God King's Confidants as bait, Heavy Stone God King's Execution Department Heavenly Gods as the main force, and I ordered my subordinates to spread news in the Chaotic Western Capital to lure Chaos God Kings and Heavenly Gods into making a move."
"In this battle, we achieved a resounding victory. We captured a total of three Chaos God Kings, sixteen Chaos Heavenly Gods, and over a hundred other Low-rank Deities."
Saying this, the Star Casting God King's aged face was blooming into a chrysanthemum-like smile. "This is another great victory."
