Wu Tian Divine King reports that Zhao Ji's power is growing rapidly, potentially rivaling the current ruler. He attempts to extract his battle memories of Zhao Ji, but she interrupts, destroying the memory-extracting artifact and attacking him. Meanwhile, Qiu Tu has successfully gained significant status within the Execution Department, with its members showing high loyalty. He is summoned by Hanhai God King to discuss his new role.

The possibility that Qiu Tu, clearly in a favorable position, would now show such friendliness was unexpected, leaving the Hanhai God King momentarily taken aback.

But he was also quite seasoned, so he quickly regained his composure.

He then moved directly to the main topic.

He waved for the Affiliated Heavenly Gods to leave, and then with a smile said, "The reason for calling Qiu Tu God King over this time is mainly to discuss your role and duties."

As if truly aiming to ease relations, his speech was exceptionally sincere and without reservation. He said, "After the last 'God King Conference', Lord Qiu Tu is now officially entered into the 'Execution Department'."

"So, you must also take on some tasks of the 'Execution Department'."

"However, each deputy has their own work, responsibilities held for decades, and abrupt changes could cause some departmental chaos."

"Therefore.... after much deliberation, I suddenly thought of a job most suitable for Lord Qiu Tu."

As he spoke, the Hanhai God King invited Qiu Tu to sit, then began placing several piles of documents in front of Qiu Tu.

The documents were visibly from different eras, with some pages crisp and new while others had started to yellow. The stacks were thick, nearly half a person's height.

The Hanhai God King also explained, "You probably heard during the last God King Conference."

"The primary focus of our 'Execution Department' in the coming years will be infiltrating the 'Immortal Heavenly Tomb'."

"This is an instruction from the 'Divine Hall Headquarters'."

"The reason being that two High Order God Kings of the 'Immortal Heavenly Tomb' have arrived in the 'West', possibly plotting something."

"This task has the full support of Elina Your Grace, who also informed us that this is the most important work in recent years."

"I've reviewed the information you submitted. It seems, before Becoming a God, you were particularly skilled in espionage and counter-espionage work."

"This job should suit you perfectly."

Upon hearing the words of the Hanhai God King, Qiu Tu was obviously startled.

He looked at the Hanhai God King earnestly, discerning whether assigning this mission to him was a maneuver against him or genuinely an attempt to reconcile....

The infiltration of the 'Immortal Heavenly Tomb' is indeed of utmost importance, yet it is also extremely complex and dangerous.

Though, ordinarily, as a commander, Qiu Tu wouldn't need to personally infiltrate. However, dealing with giants from various avenues like High Order God Kings involves significant risk.

No one knows if something might anger the other party, leading to retaliation or assassination.

But.... this mission, despite its perils, is accompanied by immense rewards.

The task assigned from the 'Divine Hall Headquarters' is, in reality... merely a pretext. Only those four lofty High Order God Kings truly represent the 'Divine Hall Headquarters'.

So, should Qiu Tu accomplish this mission extraordinarily well, he could not only rise dramatically higher but also enter the sight of those four magnates.

Such as the mission promised to Muxin Divine King and the Chaos Witch.... might very well be fulfilled.

Therefore.... to accept or not to accept.... that is the question.

With these thoughts, after hesitating for a moment, Qiu Tu gritted his teeth and stamped his foot, accepting it!

The reason was simple, this opportunity was indeed exceptionally rare.

Moreover.... most importantly, it offered a chance to touch upon the supreme secrets of the three major pathways of Chaos, Order, and Immortality.

Ever since discovering the fusion of powers from different pathways while cultivating the 'Emperor's Wrath', Qiu Tu became curious about the secrets and powers of other pathways.

A mission that involves the pinnacle of the three major pathways, allowing a glimpse into their supreme secrets, was deemed very worthwhile by Qiu Tu.

The only issue being.... Though he had just "defeated" the Heavy Stone God King, in reality.... he was somewhat hollow within.

As a level-two God King attempting to safely complete such an infiltration mission, it remained rather challenging....

'If only.... Zhao Ji could return to help me....'

.....

Meanwhile, in the Chaotic Western Capital.

The cave where the Wu Tian Divine King hid.

Now..... there was no more cave, even the mountain itself had been completely leveled....

Zhao Ji stood there, covered in blood, with half her body charred black, and the somewhat sentient longsword in her hand shattered into pieces, appearing extremely miserable.

However.... the body of the Wu Tian Divine King lay at her feet, eyes wide open, a look of indignation in death....

Yet, Zhao Ji's heart was entirely indifferent to him.

Zhao Ji glanced down at the sword fragments scattered all over, a hint of regret flashing in her eyes.

'What I originally intended to bring to Qiu Tu.... what a pity.'
