Zhao Ji learns that the Destruction Tyrant is seeking information about Princess Xingyue in the Chaotic Western Capital and plans to explore this further. She also discusses a captive exchange with Jasmine, who assures her it is being arranged. Zhao Ji then pulls Larilo aside, proposing a unique method of assistance that Larilo doesn't fully understand. Meanwhile, Qiu Tu continues his advancement to Second-Rank Divine King.

Along with the allegiance of those ten Order Heavenly Gods, he felt his understanding of "Order" grow ever deeper, and the Domains he could influence began to increase.

Although he still couldn't interfere with the rising of the sun and the setting of the Moon, it seemed that within a small range, making flowers bloom or wither was already within his reach.

Moreover, he didn't know if it was just an illusion, but he seemed to have started to sense the Order around him.

Like the heartbeat of a living creature, each inhale and exhale, blood circulating over and over. Like the flow of air, the activities of living beings, and so on.

In that moment, Qiu Tu seemed to be immersed in a profound and unfathomable Realm.

He felt countless lines appear between Heaven and Earth, as if everything in this World was strung together by those lines and then moved along them.

'This… is Order?'

Accompanied by that insight born from the unseen, Qiu Tu suddenly had the feeling that he had stepped onto the "correct path."

Everything in this World was made up of Rules great and small, of Order, so if one wished to ascend to the "Supreme," there could only be Order.

'So… only Order is the true Path?'

And at this moment, just as Qiu Tu was thinking this, he suddenly felt two powerful forces clashing not far away.

That collision knocked him straight out of the mysterious state he had just been in.

He closed his eyes and "looked" in that direction, then discovered that two forces seemed to be fusing together.

One was filled with the aura of Destruction, the other was brimming with the aura of Life.

The two auras intertwined; the aura of Destruction gradually transformed, gestating new birth. The aura of Life began to expand, and its momentum climbed step by step.

Qiu Tu quietly "watched" this scene, his brows faintly furrowed as some guesses arose in his heart.

Only, because he was at a critical moment in his advancement, he couldn't go out to inquire.

Qiu Tu's principle had always been: since it can't be solved right now, put it aside first and do what's in front of you.

So he no longer concerned himself with the changes outside, drew his mind back, and once again threw himself wholeheartedly into his advancement.

However… just as he continued to advance, a thought suddenly arose in his heart…

Just now, he had "seen" the Rules between Heaven and Earth, and had believed that "Order" was the foundation of everything in the world.

Then what would followers of other Paths see when they advanced to Second-Level Divine King?

Would they also believe that their own "Cataclysm Path" was the foundation of everything in the World?

So the Illusion just now was very likely not real at all, but rather the "Path" exerting its influence on the Deities?

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but feel a bit of lingering fear.

Although he believed his Will was firm, everything just now had been far too real, and far too in line with his true heart.

In his heart, he had always felt that everything in this World followed certain patterns. Only when all these patterns were combined did they form this rich and colorful World.

This was also the reason he was on the "Order Path."

And the abnormal phenomenon just now fit his imagination perfectly. If he hadn't been interrupted by the outside, perhaps in the future he truly would have firmly believed his Path was the correct road, without the slightest doubt.

This could very well cause Qiu Tu to misjudge many things.

Thinking this way, besides his lingering fear, Qiu Tu also couldn't help but become even more cautious.

Just like that, in a flash, five days passed.

On the evening of the fifth day, accompanied by a violent fluctuation, a colossal pillar of light shot straight into the sky.

At the same time, throughout the Wine God Country, several Divine Kings couldn't help but slightly raise their heads and look toward the direction where the pillar of light stood.

In the great hall of the "Training Department," Hua Guanwan pushed up the glasses on the bridge of her nose, then silently lowered her head again and continued handling official business.

In the "Execution Department," the Hanhai God King's expression grew ugly as he hurriedly picked up a Communication Treasure and contacted the other Divine Kings.
