Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty! Chapter 1981 - 782: Showing Off a Little

At this moment, upon hearing the words of the Hanhai Divine King, Qiu Tu's face broke into a smile, and then he explained to the two with a laugh, "Lord Chongshi and Lord Hanhai, please forgive the jest."

"I did not cultivate the 'Heavenly God Skill' during my seclusion this time."

"My adjutant merely speculated that I was practicing the 'Heavenly God Skill,' and thus reported it to all of you."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the scene suddenly fell silent.

The present Divine Kings never expected Qiu Tu to be so honest.

Initially, everyone knew Qiu Tu practicing the 'Heavenly God Skill' was likely just an excuse. The Divine Kings did not believe it.

But today, Qiu Tu's aura was too strong, and that powerful aura proved that Qiu Tu was definitely not an ordinary second-level Divine King. Thus, there was suspicion that Guan Xiao's report might be true.

However, when the Hanhai Divine King asked, the Divine Kings thought there was only one answer to this question, which was to admit.

After all, it was a pretext reported by Guan Xiao.

The truly useful information would come after Qiu Tu admitted it, to see how he would reconcile his words.

For example... if he really was cultivating the 'Heavenly God Skill,' he could say he had succeeded; or, if the 'Heavenly God Skill' was an excuse, he could say the progress was a bit slow.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Tu directly denied this rumor, leaving him without a justified reason for being late and saddling Guan Xiao with the black pot of deceit.

Therefore, the Divine Kings present all shook their heads inwardly. They felt Qiu Tu was too honest; such a response was too easily exploited.

And sure enough, upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the Hanhai Divine King's small eyes suddenly lit up, then he stroked his goatee with a cunning smile, "Not cultivating the Heavenly God Skill?"

"But... I've already reported to the higher-ups."

"This seems a bit difficult to handle."

Upon hearing the Hanhai Divine King's words, all the present Divine Kings secretly thought "indeed."

They knew the Hanhai Divine King would not miss the chance to suppress Qiu Tu.

'Qiu Tu is in trouble.....'

Just when all seated Divine Kings were thinking this, Qiu Tu smiled as if unworried and said, "It's not difficult to handle at all."

"Though I wasn't cultivating the 'Heavenly God Skill' during my seclusion, I was cultivating the 'Innate Divine Technique'."

"Lord Hanhai just needs to change two words."

After finishing speaking, Qiu Tu did not care about the reactions of others and cheerfully made his way to his seat.

He was relaxed, but the Divine Kings present were instantly taken aback!

At that moment, the atmosphere in the entire Great Hall seemed to pause. The expression on Hanhai Divine King's face was frozen!

Innate Divine Technique?

That is the true trump card that only some powerful Divine Kings can possess. A strong 'Innate Divine Technique' can even contend with the 'World Origin' of a mini-world, and can change the laws of the world.

And the Divine Kings who possess the 'Innate Divine Technique' invariably advance to Level 5, achieving the rank of 'Guardian Divine King.'

Like the Heavy Stone Divine King, who in recent years has withstood Elina's pressure at the Execution Department because he already has a prototype of an 'Innate Divine Technique,' and after a few years, it is estimated that he can refine it.

Hence, theoretically, he is expected to become a 'Guardian Divine King,' which is why so many are willing to support him.

And when he started creating the 'Innate Divine Technique,' he was already a Fourth-level Divine King. Yet now, Qiu Tu has it at Level 2?

Such a comparison surely stunned the Divine Kings present.

At this moment, Qiu Tu indeed was not concerned with the psychological changes of the Divine Kings present; he came to the front of the long table, found his seat, and sat down.

The Execution Department is one of the largest departments under the temple's West Branch, so it has the most Divine Kings, a total of 23.

The responsible Divine King is the Heavy Stone Divine King, with Hanhai Divine King, Qiu Tu, and two other third-level Divine Kings as deputies; apart from them, there are 19 first and second-level Divine Kings.

These Divine Kings are either heads of sub-departments within the Execution Department; some are more ambitious, waiting for a suitable position; others are more laid-back, not wanting to manage affairs, only occasionally taking a mission to accumulate merits.

Qiu Tu's position and real strength both rank about fifth in the Execution Department.

Thus, his seat is the second on the right side of the table.

Once seated, the Divine Kings on site snapped back to reality.

Possibly because the news brought by Qiu Tu was too shocking, for a time, the undercurrents surged in the entire Great Hall, with Divine Kings exchanging glances and sharing their thoughts on the matter.

Some were shocked, some apprehensive, some wishing to extend goodwill, and of course... most were skeptical.

The 'Innate Divine Technique' is extremely rare; although some second-level Divine Kings can comprehend and create it, they are invariably exceptional, leading the era.

Among them, half have achieved the status of High-order Divine Kings, becoming magnates controlling various major trajectories.

Yet, now Qiu Tu, at the second-level Divine King, has comprehended the 'Innate Divine Technique'?

This indeed is hard for people to easily believe.

Therefore, after exchanging glances, the Divine Kings' gazes began subtly falling on Qiu Tu, trying to discern whether Qiu Tu was serious or merely bluffing.

Sitting at the head seat, the Heavy Stone Divine King keenly detected the change in the atmosphere of the Great Hall.
