Heavy Stone God King and Han Hai God King discuss their recent defeat at the "God King Conference." Han Hai believes Qiu Tu tricked them by feigning weakness, but Heavy Stone God King wonders if Qiu Tu was genuinely that powerful. Heavy Stone God King decides to stabilize the "Execution Department" and avoid further conflict for now, confident that Qiu Tu, as a second-tier God King, can still be managed. Meanwhile, Qiu Tu reviews his performance, confirming that his impressive display was due to modifications he made to a "Lifebound Divine Skill."

That's right, the reason why Qiu Tu took so long to emerge wasn't because the 'Lifebound Divine Skill' was difficult to practice.

With Zhao Ji's level of talent, she had nearly modified this 'Lifebound Divine Skill' to match Qiu Tu perfectly, allowing him to cultivate it with double the effectiveness. There's no need for such a long time.

The main reason he retreated for so long during the cultivation of this 'Lifebound Divine Skill' is because he suddenly had an inspiration and thus modified it.

The thought process behind his modification was simple: integrating his 'Order Space'.

The 'Emperor's Wrath' Zhao Ji created for Qiu Tu is a very strong 'Lifebound Divine Skill', but... this 'Lifebound Divine Skill' requires a maximum performance from a significant problem: it demands a strong mindset from the two parties.

The more the enemy fears, the more humble they become, the stronger the effect of the 'Emperor's Wrath'. The more superior and confident Qiu Tu feels, the stronger the effect as well.

Zhao Ji's "original" 'Lifebound Divine Skill' should have similar rules. But...who is Zhao Ji? She is King B*tch, and this effect is automatically maximized for her.

But Qiu Tu doesn't have such a mindset. So he must rely on other abilities for assistance.

Thus, Qiu Tu thought of 'Order Space'.

Through a period of experimentation, Qiu Tu found that although there is a significant disparity in strength among Level 1-5 Divine Kings, they all actually fall within the same realm, where his 'Order Space' can still be effective.

Just because Level 4 and Level 5 Divine Kings far surpass Qiu Tu in strength, if Qiu Tu wishes to directly obliterate opponents with 'Order Space', the cost would be too great, possibly ending in mutual destruction.

But that's okay, now with 'Emperor's Wrath', Qiu Tu doesn't need to directly obliterate those Divine Kings; he only needs to instill "fear" in the opponent and maintain "infinite confidence" to perfectly unleash the effect of this 'Lifebound Divine Skill'.

And this happens to be Qiu Tu's forte.

Thus... Qiu Tu directly integrated 'Order Space' into 'Emperor's Wrath'. Using 'Order Space', he elevates his image in the eyes of the enemy to the strongest being they've ever seen!

Then, he uses 'Order Space' to adjust his state, imbuing himself with boundless confidence and overwhelming dominance.

As for the size comparison between the two parties and environmental abstraction, these are automatically generated by the 'Order Space' according to the state of both sides.

With 'Order Space' as coordination, Qiu Tu could finally fully unleash the effect of 'Emperor's Wrath' and manifest the power of this top-level 'Lifebound Divine Skill'.

Of course, even top-level 'Lifebound Divine Skill' must adhere to the basic law of equivalence.

Being merely an ordinary Level 2 Divine King, even when wielding a top-level 'Lifebound Divine Skill', he can only exert the strength of a Peak Level 3 Divine King.

So, despite his boundless might appearing comparable to a High Order Divine King, in fact... he can only withstand a blow from a hastily attacking Heavy Stone God King.

And when he crushed the Heavy Stone God King's 'Wall of Rock' in an uprooting manner, he was already at his limit and incapable of striking again at the Demon Eye God King.

But he had already started bluffing, so he couldn't be exposed, which is why he purposely halted the giant hand in front of the Demon Eye God King and claimed to spare the opponent.

In reality... it wasn't that Qiu Tu wanted to spare the opponent, he simply couldn't actually kill them...

Nonetheless, the bluff was successful, with very remarkable effect.

Qiu Tu is confident that it won't be long before his performance at the 'God King Conference' spreads throughout the entire 'Execution Department', and even the 'temple - West Branch'.

By then, he won't need to do anything, and his situation within the 'Execution Department' will immediately become different from before.

With these thoughts, Qiu Tu slowly exhaled as he sat on the chair.

He has done all he can now; the rest lies in how things develop...

.....

Neither Qiu Tu nor the Heavy Stone God King guessed wrong.

The 'God King Conference' is, after all, the biggest event each year for every department, with all deities monitoring it.

After the 'God King Conference' concludes, all deities will eagerly inquire about the happenings there.

So it didn't take long for news of everything at this conference to spread out.

When everyone heard that Qiu Tu had mastered the 'Lifebound Divine Skill', faced off directly against the Heavy Stone God King, and even won, everyone doubted their ears.

Who? Qiu Tu?

Did what? Mastered the 'Lifebound Divine Skill'? Then defeated the 'Heavy Stone God King'?

Upon receiving this news, everyone's jaws dropped in shock, initially suspecting aural errors or a slip in speech relaying the information.

Yet, when they received the same answer from multiple sources, they finally had to accept it all as truth...

Inside the grand hall of Wine God Country.

Elina lounged on the couch, sipping wine while listening to Qing Er's report.

As she listened, she even forgot to sip her wine, staring at Qing Er in shock.

Because of her immense shock, she forgot to lift her glass, and thus... the amber wine trickled down her pale cheek, flowing gracefully down her exquisite neck into the deep gorge below.

The amber liquid harmonized with her snow-white skin, appearing irresistibly alluring...
