Then let them offer their loyalty!

Right at the moment the clock struck midnight!

suddenly!

"Buzz!"

An ancient roar, seemingly from the very beginning of the universe, resounded throughout the entire multidimensional world without warning!

The countless azure skies of the entire multidimensional world began to tremble and distort violently. Visible cracks spread across the sky like a spider web.

A chaotic aura began to surge from the entire multidimensional world into the crack in the sky.

Immediately following, a brand new will, representing precision, rigor, and regularity, rose like the newborn sun from below the horizon of every world!

The entire multidimensional world, countless planes, and countless spaces underwent earth-shattering changes at this moment.

The ceaseless energy storms surrounding the various multidimensional worlds mysteriously subsided at this moment;

On the ancient continent, the wild and disorderly primeval forests grew unchecked, and the branches of the trees began to bend at fixed angles.

Even the randomly broken earth began to recombine and coalesce in an orderly manner.

Golden chains of light, composed of pure order runes, emerged from nothingness, like a divine loom, beginning to reweave the web of laws governing the entire multidimensional world.

The old ways vanished in lamentation, and new ways were established in celebration.

The Era of Order has arrived!

......

at the same time.

The newly destroyed royal court, Old White's study.

At the very moment the strange phenomenon occurred, Qiu Tu, who was having a late-night conversation with Lao Bai by candlelight, felt something and involuntarily raised his head to look out the window.

His gaze seemed to pierce through layers of space and world, directly seeing the world laws that were undergoing a dramatic transformation.

"As expected, it is the path of order."

His voice was soft, yet carried a calm that seemed to have settled down.

As the God-King of the Order Path, at the moment the Epoch Path was established, he clearly felt that the entire multidimensional world seemed to have opened its arms to him.

It was a wonderful feeling that was hard to describe.

It's as if... the entire multidimensional world has become his home, or perhaps he is a fish, and the entire multidimensional world is like water.

He could even feel that the divine power within him was resonating with the "origin of the world." With every breath and every heartbeat, he could draw a trace of pure law of order from the entire multidimensional world to strengthen himself.

After experiencing it for a while, Qiu Tu slowly regained his composure and turned his gaze back to Lao Bai opposite him.

"It seems the era has been decided." He picked up his teacup, feeling the lingering warmth of the cup on his fingertips. "Then I'll go back and make some preparations."

Old Bai may have noticed something unusual about Qiu Tu during their conversation. So, upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, he took the initiative to ask, "Finding the feeling?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu smiled, nodded frankly, and said, "A little. But not much."

Hearing this answer, Lao Bai's smile deepened. He said, "A little bit is enough."

"The hardest part of the Long March is taking this first step. Once you take that first step, the rest is just a matter of patience and perseverance."

He looked at Qiu Tu and said carefully, "If things go quickly, it will take half a year or a year. If things go slowly, it will take about three to five years."

At this point, he couldn't help but feel a bit emotional, "This can be considered a turning point in life."

"We were just chatting and we were saying that all that's left is to wait. It might arrive in the next second, or it might take a hundred or a thousand years."

He looked at Qiu Tu with a smile in his eyes, "And who knew, it really happened in the next second."

Having said that, Lao Bai didn't waste any more of Qiu Tu's time. He knew that that insight was more important than anything else for Qiu Tu right now, and he had to strike while the iron was hot.

So he raised his hand and made a "please" gesture, indicating that Qiu Tu should do as he pleased.

Qiu Tu didn't stand on ceremony. He stood up, nodded slightly to Lao Bai as a farewell, and then turned and left the palace where Lao Bai lived.

As Qiu Tu walked through the quiet corridor, a cool night breeze brushed against his face, gradually calming his excited heart, which had just gained some insights.

As he walked, he carefully savored the faint yet incredibly clear feeling in his heart, searching for the direction of the "Supreme Path".

Soon, he returned to the palace where he lived.

As a result, upon returning to the palace, Qiu Tu was greeted by a familiar, cool, and delicate fragrance as soon as he opened the door.

Qiu Tu suddenly stopped in his tracks, looked up, and realized that there was someone else in his room.

It was a stunningly beautiful figure dressed in a white silk dress, with bare feet and long, jet-black hair cascading down her back. She stood quietly by the window.

It was none other than Lady Zhao.

"Sister Zhaoji, what brings you here?" Qiu Tu was taken aback after recognizing the uninvited guest in the room and asked subconsciously.

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji slowly turned around.

Her face was unadorned, yet more captivating than any elaborate makeup. Her deep, still eyes, like a cold pool, gazed silently at Qiu Tu, seemingly containing some complex emotion.

“After much thought,” she began, her voice still as cold as ever, yet seemingly carrying an inexplicable undertone, “I have come up with a way to help you ascend to the highest path.”

Upon hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu was momentarily stunned.

Does Lady So-hime have a way to help herself embark on the path to the highest realm?

He opened his mouth, wanting to tell Zhao Ji that he didn't actually need it anymore, because he had found that insight when he went to find Lao Bai just now.

Before he could even utter a word, he heard Zhao Ji slowly say, "Cultivate with me."

Qiu Tu:? ?

Upon hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu swallowed back the words that were already on the tip of his tongue.

He looked at Zhao Ji, blinking repeatedly, almost wondering if he was hallucinating.

As it turned out, Zhao Ji seemed oblivious to Qiu Tu's stunned expression. She continued to gaze at Qiu Tu with her calm, unwavering eyes, and then coldly explained,

"In the past five years, besides researching my own path to the highest realm, I have also been researching the soul connection between me and Lariro."

"Although I still haven't fully figured out the nature of this connection, I've discovered that this connection between us can actually be transferred to someone else."

"However, the conditions will be exceptionally harsh."

She paused for a moment, and a barely perceptible ripple seemed to appear in her clear, cold eyes under the moonlight.

"For example...a relationship must occur."

Upon hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu blinked, then blinked again.

I had only one thought in my mind: Who said I have a connection to the "Path to the Highest Realm"?

I didn't sense anything the hell tonight!

My talent is really terrible!

--------

There's only one more part to the story, and it'll probably end soon. I'm asking for your monthly votes at the end of the month! Thank you!

Chapter 997 Zhao Ji's Loyalty (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

At this moment, whether she could sense his emotions or noticed something amiss with Qiu Tu, Zhao Ji looked at him suspiciously before coldly asking,

"how?"

"You don't want to?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu's heart skipped a beat, and he said without hesitation, "Who is spreading rumors?!"

His voice wasn't loud, but it was firm and resounding, as if someone were really slandering him.

Then, he stepped forward, his gaze fixed intently on Zhao Ji, his face filled with the grief and indignation of being wronged and the resolute determination to die for her cause. "Sister Zhao Ji!"

"I think your suggestion is excellent!"

"I am willing to accept it."

So, go ahead and ravage me!

After saying that, he puffed out his chest, looking as if he were ready to die.

Even though Zhao Ji's emotions were not much affected, she was taken aback by Qiu Tu's sudden dramatic reaction.

Her deep, cold eyes scrutinized Qiu Tu's face suspiciously, as if trying to discern the hidden meaning in his words.

The air was silent for two seconds.

She spoke again, "Is there something you're hiding from me?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu maintained his righteous expression and shook his head vigorously.

His expression practically screamed "I have a problem!"

Zhao Ji's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

Although she could clearly sense that Qiu Tu was up to something, Zhao Ji had long since gotten used to the fact that Qiu Tu had his own Plan B.

If this had happened five or six years ago, given her personality, she would definitely have pressed for answers and made sure everything was clear before making a decision.

But after what happened five years ago, Zhao Ji had completely trusted and gotten used to Qiu Tu.

She knew that although this man was often unserious, he saw further and thought more thoroughly than she did when it came to important matters. There was always a reason why he didn't say it.

The thought flashed through her mind, and Zhao Ji quickly dismissed the doubt. In her view, uncovering Qiu Tu's little secrets was far less important than helping him embark on the path to the highest realm.

She looked at Qiu Tu and said coldly, "Since you have no objections, then come with me."

As she spoke, she gently waved to Qiu Tu.

The next second, Qiu Tu felt a blur before his eyes, and the surrounding scenery instantly distorted and stretched, only to solidify again in the next second. When he regained his footing, he found himself in a secret room.

This secret room was clearly something that Zhao Ji had been quietly building over the past few years. The entire room was filled with "Boundless Divine Crystals" that were so transparent they reflected light.

Even the ground was paved with a single, uncarved, enormous "Boundless Divine Crystal," smooth as a mirror, reflecting the simulated, eternally unchanging void of the dome.

In the center of the room stood a bed also crafted from "Boundless Divine Crystal." The bedding was made of some unknown white silk fabric, as thin as a cicada's wing, spotless, yet exuding a faint chill that seemed capable of freezing the soul.

Qiu Tu scanned the two large pieces of boundless divine crystals with his divine sense and made some guesses: these should be the result of the God Kings that Zhao Ji has killed in the past few years.

Just as Qiu Tu was looking around the secret room that resembled an ice cellar, Zhao Ji's cold voice rang out again.

She pointed to the bed, which was entirely carved from "Boundless Divine Crystals," and said succinctly,

"Go up."

"what?"

Qiu Tu subconsciously responded, his gaze involuntarily turning to Zhao Ji.

Under the faint light of the "Boundless Divine Crystal," Zhao Ji's exquisite face showed no trace of shyness or strangeness, nor any desire for certain things.

Only a clear and unwavering mind, and absolute confidence in helping Qiu Tu embark on the path to the highest realm.

Qiu Tu: .....

Although I know that Zehime made this suggestion purely for her own spiritual advancement, and had no other romantic intentions.

However... this completely uninterested attitude still ignited a flame within Qiu Tu!

This is blatant disrespect for one's own skills!

I must impress Zhao Ji! I must show her that some things are much more interesting than tedious cultivation!

At this moment, perhaps sensing the burning "fighting spirit" in Qiu Tu's heart, Zhao Ji couldn't help but glance at him again, a hint of approval appearing in her usually cold eyes.

"Very good, keep it up."

Qiu Tu:?

Just when he thought Zhao Ji had finally come to her senses and was about to misunderstand, Zhao Ji coldly added another sentence.

"With this fighting spirit, I believe it won't be long before you sense the 'Path to Supremacy.' This is the first step in your breakthrough."

Qiu Tu: ....

Yes, that's very much like Zetsuhime. Makes sense!

Although Zhao Ji seemed a bit unresponsive and completely oblivious to romance, Qiu Tu was never one to "sit idly by and wait for someone to do something."

He snapped his fingers, and the next second, the cold floor was covered with a thick, soft white plush carpet, several wall lamps appeared on the walls, and a warm fireplace appeared beside the bed.
