Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty! Chapter 1978 - 781: Qiu Tu Arrives!

"Therefore, although Her Highness Zhao Ji is progressing swiftly, she is becoming more and more dangerous."

Upon hearing Guan Xiao's warning, Qiu Tu slightly furrowed his brow.

He understood that Guan Xiao was informing him of the increasingly dire situation in the Chaotic Western Capital, worrying that if things continue as they are, issues may arise.

Yet, compared to those around him, the relationship between Zhao Ji and Qiu Tu is clearly more complex.

The two do not have a dependent relationship, but more of an alliance.

Moreover, Zhao Ji is someone with definite opinions and preferences for making her own decisions, so it is not simply a matter of Qiu Tu persuading her.

Thus, Qiu Tu quietly pondered for a moment, keeping this matter in mind, before he spoke,

"I understand the situation; continue to arrange personnel to monitor the Chaotic Western Capital. Report any changes to me immediately."

"Yes." Guan Xiao lowered his head in acknowledgment, finally helping Qiu Tu fasten his trouser belt before standing up and saying,

"Sir, everything is prepared; you may attend the God King Conference now."

Upon hearing Guan Xiao's words, Qiu Tu nodded with a piercing gaze, "Let me see what Heavy Stone God King's game is...."

.....

Meanwhile, in Wine God Country's Execution Department.

The God King Conference is a special council system within the Order Temple, typically held every six months to a year according to departmental differences.

During the God King Conference, God Kings from various departments can attend, regardless of rank or position, representing their significant role within the temple.

And because, except for a few special God Kings, most are mid to high-ranking members of departments, any incident at this conference will dictate department trends for the next six months to a year, marking it as the most crucial meeting. Many major events transpire at this conference.

Compared to other departments, the Execution Department's conference is relatively calm.

Due to Heavy Stone God King's dominance, the openly and covertly aggressive God King Conference in the Execution Department is quite tranquil.

No one dares challenge Heavy Stone God King's authority, and he rarely oppresses subordinates.

—Of course, this was the case for the Execution Department's conference over the past century.

This year, due to Heavy Stone God King's strategies and Qiu Tu's counteractions, everyone knows a New God King has arrived at the Execution Department.

The New God King, allied with Elina, immediately embarrassed Hanhai God King upon joining the department.

Soon after, the New God King, authorized by Elina, mobilized over a hundred Heavenly Gods to besiege and capture more than a hundred deities in Wine God Country, including three God Kings, without casualties.

Such a victory is a rare strategic success in recent years.

Recent battles over seven "Underground Divine Countries" yielded more results but came at a great cost for the Order Temple, and since Elina, the Guardian God King, took action, it wasn't widely recognized.

Therefore, riding this victory wave, Qiu Tu's prestige in the Execution Department soared.

Additionally, backed by Elina, many in the Execution Department look favorably upon Qiu Tu challenging Heavy Stone God King.

This comprises tensions accumulated over the past century between the Execution Department's deities and Heavy Stone God King, as well as pure curiosity.

After all...the Execution Department has been quiet for too long.

So many anticipate this God King Conference to witness whether there will be unprecedented changes....

Unfortunately....the God King Conference begins, and Qiu Tu exits seclusion only to re-enter soon after. Even now, the conference is in session while he remains secluded.

This disappoints many God Kings looking forward to the conference, leading to a rather dull session.

Due to Qiu Tu's absence, the God King Conference remains Heavy Stone God King's domain.

He sits in the main seat, his towering figure akin to a small mountain overshadowing the attendees, quietly sitting.

Beside him, Hanhai God King slowly explains the year's Execution Department activities.

Covering missions, personnel changes, commendations, etc.

While he talks, attending God Kings listen idly, with some even zoning out, completely ignoring Hanhai God King's repetitive discourse.

Yet, this is the Execution Department, Heavy Stone God King's domain. Surprisingly stable. Remarkably dull.

However, nothing remains unchanged. So as Hanhai God King leisurely reports capturing four "Immortality" spies, the majestic temple door silently opens.

A shadow enters through the middle and briskly walks to Heavy Stone God King's side.

Perhaps due to contrast with Hanhai God King's tedious narration, this sudden occurrence piques interest, and attending God Kings show intrigue.

Several God Kings direct their gaze toward the Heavenly God approaching Heavy Stone God King, even an aged, seemingly dying God King slowly opens his eyes, observing this Heavenly God.

Seeing this, Hanhai God King hesitates slightly and glances at the Heavenly God before lowering his head to continue talking.
