Qiu Tu attended the God King Conference amid suspicions about his seclusion for the "Lifebound Divine Skill." While Heavy Stone God King voiced doubt, the meeting proceeded with Han Hai God King reporting on infiltrating the "Immortal Heavenly Tomb." Qiu Tu remained silent throughout, leading the other God Kings and Han Hai himself to question if his seclusion was truly for the divine skill and why he didn't challenge Heavy Stone's position.

Thinking this, Hanhai God King couldn't help but glance at Qiu Tu again.

Qiu Tu still sat there with his usual calm demeanor, showing neither arrogance nor cowardice, leaving others unable to discern his inner thoughts.

However, in Hanhai God King's eyes, Qiu Tu's lack of any display was quite an unusual thing.

After all, considering the situation, Heavy Stone God King and Hanhai God King had previously schemed against Qiu Tu, and later even sent people to besiege Qiu Tu's confidants, deepening the hatred between the two sides. If it were Hanhai God King who understood and created the "Lifebound Divine Skill," he certainly wouldn't let go of this opportunity to strike at Heavy Stone God King's faction.

In politics, there is no room for showing weakness or reconciliation. So.....the fact that Qiu Tu hasn't taken action proves that he is actually feeling insecure?

Moreover, given how difficult the "Lifebound Divine Skill" is, it is highly unlikely that Qiu Tu could create and understand it in just a few days.

So....Qiu Tu is indeed bluffing....

Thinking this, Hanhai God King suddenly felt like everything fell into place.

He thought that either Qiu Tu is lying, and his recent retreat had nothing to do with the "Lifebound Divine Skill"; or.... he has indeed gained some insight into the "Lifebound Divine Skill," but exaggerated his progress to bluff.

Realizing this, Hanhai God King felt that he should do something.

'Maybe.... I should arrange for a God King to probe Qiu Tu?'

Thinking this, Hanhai God King couldn't help but hesitate. After all.... it indeed seemed like a complication.

But.... if he does nothing, the consequences.....could be even more severe.

——Qiu Tu claimed before all the God Kings that his retreat was to create "Lifebound Divine Skill," and Heavy Stone God King's side didn't question it, which is equivalent to tacitly accepting Qiu Tu's statement. Then the other God Kings would truly believe Qiu Tu's words.

After the God King Conference ends, the matter of Qiu Tu creating the "Lifebound Divine Skill" will gradually spread within the "Execution Department."

This important event will cause a swift change in the climate of the "Execution Department."

At that time, Heavy Stone God King's rule will undoubtedly suffer severe repercussions. Even if Qiu Tu is exposed later, it would only be a remedy, unable to return to the way things were.

Moreover.... even if Qiu Tu's retreat was indeed for the "Lifebound Divine Skill," and he's not lying, Hanhai God King and Heavy Stone God King should still understand his progress and the effect of the "Lifebound Divine Skill" he created.

Today, after all, Qiu Tu did have an "error" first, so Hanhai God King and others could reasonably test him.

Once today is over and everything settles, even if Hanhai God King is curious about Qiu Tu having the "Lifebound Divine Skill," there would be no way to probe such a private matter.

Then everything will become Qiu Tu's secret.

It's important to know that a person's strong trump card is not scary; what's scary is that the trump card is unknown.

No matter how strong a trump card is, there are ways to deal with it. But only knowing the opponent has a trump card without knowing what it is, will be like a sword hanging over one's head forever.

Aside from these two reasons, the most important one is..... Hanhai God King truly does not believe that Qiu Tu has created the "Lifebound Divine Skill"!

If Qiu Tu used other methods or openly defeated him and Heavy Stone God King, they would accept it willingly.

Qiu Tu using something so improbable to bluff them, and it worked, would make them regret not seeing through it when the truth is revealed!

Thinking this, Hanhai God King finally had an idea in his mind.

He looked towards the main seat where Heavy Stone God King was.

Heavy Stone God King seemed to be lost in thought and didn't notice his gaze.

Hanhai God King lightly reached out with his spiritual power towards Heavy Stone God King.

After advancing to deity, a deity's fundamental skill is to extend spiritual power around their body, forming a protective layer to isolate and alert them of other deities' spiritual power.

So, just with this touch, Heavy Stone God King regained his focus and reflexively looked at Hanhai God King.

Their eyes met, and Hanhai God King signaled with several looks, which Heavy Stone God King instantly understood: Hanhai God King wanted to execute the plan they discussed two days ago: to pressure Qiu Tu to make him back down.

He frowned slightly.

Days ago, he told Hanhai God King: As the responsible God King of the "Execution Department," he couldn't back down in the face of Qiu Tu's provocation.

If he wanted his subordinates to still believe in him and stay in the same boat, as a leader, he couldn't show any weakness, he had to remain strong.

But today, facing Qiu Tu's claim of creating the "Lifebound Divine Skill," Heavy Stone God King was somewhat hesitant and regretful.

Whether it was an illusion or because he was also creating the "Lifebound Divine Skill," he had an inexplicable feeling that Qiu Tu wasn't lying.

If that's the case..... was it really worth it to continue feuding with a super genius who could create the "Lifebound Divine Skill" at the Second Divine King Realm over past conflicts?

At this moment, uncertain if he misunderstood, seeing Heavy Stone God King not speaking, Hanhai God King seemed to take it as acquiescence.

So, he signaled with a look to another God King beside himself: Demon Eye God King.

Having ruled the "Execution Department" for so many years, Heavy Stone God King had quite a few staunch allies. Among the 20 or so God Kings present, at least one-third were his confidants, and over half of the remaining were inclined towards him.

Therefore, concerning the matter of pressuring Qiu Tu, of course, Heavy Stone God King wouldn't need to act personally, another God King would step forward.
