Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty! Chapter 1980 - 782: A Little Show-Off (Requested)
Previously on Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty!...
The man's name, the shadow of the tree.
Earlier, when Qiu Tu caused waves, the God Kings of the "Execution Department" had already heard of his deeds.
Many were curious about what kind of person Qiu Tu truly was. During Qiu Tu's days of seclusion, several God Kings made private speculations.
Some God Kings thought Qiu Tu was the Child of Fate of a world, arrogant and domineering; others believed he was mild-mannered, merely used by Elina as a pawn and forced into a dead end by the Heavy Stone God King; yet others felt Qiu Tu was intelligent and cunning, never showing his emotions.
But when they saw Qiu Tu in person, they realized they might all have guessed wrong.
As the grand palace doors opened to both sides, a gust of wind mixed with rain swept in.
A figure dressed in a grand cloak entered with overwhelming momentum.
The corridor's lights cast upon him, projecting a long shadow on the ground, stretching all the way to the palace's lengthy conference table.
Before the person arrived, first came the sight of a riding boot, followed by slender legs, a tall posture, and a face smiling yet dignified.
In just an instant, the God Kings present couldn't help but be momentarily dazed.
Even if they were mentally prepared, the moment they saw Qiu Tu in person, they were still slightly shocked.
This was a world possessing Supernatural Power, where momentum was a manifestation of power and talent.
And Qiu Tu arrived with wind and rain, exuding an aura akin to a dragon forming.
The scene fell silent for a moment, and a neutral God King softly sighed, "Golden scales are not ordinary items; once met with wind and cloud, they transform into a dragon."
Though his voice was soft, in the already silent palace, it clearly resonated in everyone's ears.
Upon hearing this sentiment, the attending God Kings all couldn't help but wake up from their daze.
They realized, albeit belatedly, that the Heavy Stone God King was the master of this palace, so they quickly cast their gaze towards the seat of the Heavy Stone God King.
Then, without thinking further, when they looked, their hearts skipped a beat once more.
Perhaps it was Qiu Tu's aura that stimulated him; at this moment, the Heavy Stone God King sat with his back straight, hands on the table, eyes gazing at Qiu Tu with a presence that commanded respect without anger.
His stature was already much greater than that of ordinary beings, towering over three meters, as massive as a mountain standing in the palace.
The wind and rain-laden force of Qiu Tu struck him, yet felt unshakable, seemingly suppressed instead.
Witnessing this, the present God Kings couldn't help but look back at Qiu Tu.
Perhaps due to the stark difference in size, or perhaps because the Heavy Stone God King was so overwhelming, somehow when they saw Qiu Tu again, it didn't seem quite as formidable?
At this moment, as many God Kings pondered such thoughts, Qiu Tu had already reached the long table with a smile.
He slightly bowed, offering a respectful salute to the Heavy Stone God King seated at the head, saying, "My lord, I'm late."
Being seated directly facing the door, directly facing Qiu Tu, the Heavy Stone God King sensed Qiu Tu's presence most distinctly.
He wasn't as relaxed as the other God Kings imagined.
On the contrary, having directly confronted Qiu Tu, he was more aware than anyone of Qiu Tu's formidable nature.
'Despite just advancing, the strength is very refined, not losing to a seasoned second-level God King.'
'Most importantly, the aura has already taken shape, feeling like he has clear insight into both pathways and future development.'
'Although I haven't seen him before, he shouldn't have been like this before his seclusion....'
'Could it be.... his adjutant wasn't lying, he truly sensed something profound and comprehended the "Heavenly God Skill"?'
'Afterwards, by creating the "Heavenly God Skill," he smoothed out his own path, leading to such presence?'
Thinking this, the Heavy Stone God King couldn't resist the urge to test him.
He sat like a small mountain, looking down at Qiu Tu, and slowly spoke, "No matter."
"It's due to an unexpected seclusion, not your fault."
"Moreover, your adjutant has already reported the situation, saying you comprehended the 'Heavenly God Skill.'"
"Your strength enhancing is also strengthening the 'Execution Department's' power after all."
As he spoke, he glanced at the Hanhai God King beside him.
After being refused by the Heavy Stone God King, the Hanhai God King had been sitting with eyes closed.
Even as Qiu Tu and the Heavy Stone God King's auras collided, it only caused his brows to slightly furrow.
Only when the Heavy Stone God King looked at him did he slowly open his eyes.
Their years of cooperation made it easy for him to understand the Heavy Stone God King's intention.
So he hesitated briefly, then put on a smile again, looking at Qiu Tu and inquiring, "I've also heard from Qiu Tu God King's adjutant about this matter."
"I wonder how Qiu Tu God King's 'Heavenly God Skill' cultivation is going? Has it succeeded?"
Normally, few God Kings would inquire so directly about another's intelligence. After all, strength is inherently the most secret matter.
But.... the matter of Qiu Tu's seclusion cultivating the Heavenly God Skill was already widely known. And since it involves the "God King Conference," Han Hai God King had no problem asking about it.
Thus, the attending God Kings all turned their gaze to Qiu Tu, eager to hear how he would respond.
