Chapter 1005 Zhao Ji: Qiu Tu is stronger than me (Seeking monthly votes)

With a fierce look, the Heavenly Evolution of Order stared at Qiu Tu, who stood side by side with Zhao Ji.

At this moment, Qiu Tu's appearance had not changed much, but his temperament had undergone a complete transformation.

If Qiu Tu before was a sharp sword with its edge fully exposed, then he now is like a solid mountain.

He concealed all his aura completely, without letting any of it leak out. At first glance, apart from thinking that he was somewhat handsome, he looked like an ordinary mortal.

But even such a "mortal" person, when he stands in mid-air, seems to have the rules and order of the entire world converging and resonating with him.

As the aura emanating from him accompanied this, the chaotic order, laws, and catastrophic power of the entire multidimensional world, caused by the successive battles, seemed to be calmed down, becoming soothing and smooth...

Upon seeing this, the Heavenly Evolution of Order's expression became even more solemn.

As the only god-king to embark on the "Path to Supremacy" in the nearly ten thousand years of the "Path of Order," how could he not understand what that represented?

That is the "authority" possessed by the God-King who has embarked on the "Path to Supremacy"! It represents the absolute power he possesses throughout the entire multidimensional world and on this path!

So even if he didn't want to admit it, when he saw this scene, the Heavenly Evolution of Order knew that Qiu Tu had truly embarked on the "Path to Supremacy" and become an existence just like himself.

Moreover, what's even more terrifying is that as Qiu Tu embarks on the "Path to Supremacy," he feels his control over the power of the "Order Path" of the entire world is rapidly declining.

Originally, the "Power of Order-Catastrophe," which he could control as easily as breathing, had apparently created some distance between him and the power of order and catastrophe.

Furthermore... in his eyes, Qiu Tu's handsome appearance began to become increasingly "ugly," and the aura emanating from him made him feel more and more disgusted.

He had never experienced this feeling before, but he had heard about it from the "Destroyer Tyrant".

This is how the God-King felt about the "enemy of the Great Dao".

As "enemies on the way" who cannot coexist and can only survive one person at a time, living beings will instinctively feel disgust towards each other.

However, the Heavenly Evolution of Order had lived for nearly ten thousand years longer than Qiu Tu, and had just devoured more than a dozen high-level God-Kings, reaching the peak of its strength.

Therefore, although he discovered that Qiu Tu had indeed embarked on the "Path to the Supreme," he felt no fear whatsoever.

A god-king who has just reached his level is far weaker than him in both strength and experience.

He didn't take it seriously at all.

Even though he had just been tricked and had time wasted by Jasmine, with his strength greatly increased and the "Epoch Attribute" bonus, the only person he truly feared was Zehime.

Thinking this, his gaze involuntarily fell on Zhao Ji...

Meanwhile, as the Heavenly Evolution of Order observed Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji, Qiu Tu was also taking in his surroundings.

He glanced with a smile at the shattered battlefield, then at Jasmine, who was quietly retreating to the side with a sweet, innocent smile on her face, before finally letting his gaze drift to the enormous golden eyes in the sky.

Just as the Heavenly Evolution of Order had a special connection with Qiu Tu, Qiu Tu also felt the same way about the Heavenly Evolution of Order as an "enemy of the Great Dao".

But over the years, he has long since learned to hide all his emotions.

So, looking into the enormous golden eyes of the Heavenly Evolution of Order, he praised, "Heavenly Evolution, it seems... you really seized every opportunity."

"It has become this powerful in just a few days."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Xu Yitianyan chuckled, "Hehehe..."

His laughter echoed throughout the battlefield.

"Qiu Tu, isn't this exactly what you wanted?"

"Use my hands to kill all the high-ranking god-kings."

He clearly saw through Qiu Tu's plan, and then slowly began to speak.

"Over the years, I've been thinking about how I would change your relationship with Jasmine if I were you, and how I would reconcile your interests with Jasmine's."

"You all want to be the ones to lead the ascension to the 'Supreme God-King,' and guarantee that you will become the Supreme God-King if there aren't enough spots available."

"At first, I thought it was an unsolvable deadlock."

"There is no way for you and Jasmine to reconcile. Only by killing me, leaving Jasmine with no other choice, can you force her to accept all of this."

"But... gradually, as more and more high-level god-kings began to flock to me with your leniency, I began to sense that something was amiss."

"Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit. Our struggle is a battle of the great principles, so you should always try to weaken my power to avoid any accidents."

"Instead of letting my power grow stronger as it is now."

"Unless...you have other plans."

As it said this, the enormous eye in the sky swept over the places where those high-level god-kings had fallen, "For example... you want to eliminate all the high-level god-kings."

Hearing his words, Qiu Tu smiled and then asked, "Oh? Then why would I do that?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Xu Yitianyan chuckled coldly twice and then said, "The reason is very simple."

"You have seen through the fact that the 'multidimensional world' cannot contain multiple 'supreme god-kings'."

"That is... the 'share' of 'power' is insufficient."

"Over the years, countless high-level god-kings have been born. They are beings who wield the authority of pathways on behalf of the 'multidimensional world,' and are also potential supreme god-kings."

"In the words of your human dynasties, they are all hidden dragons."

"Jasmine's senses were correct; the current 'Multidimensional World' cannot support multiple Supreme God-Kings. However, she doesn't know why."

"But you saw through the reason. It's because the advanced god-king is inherently a product of compromise or abnormality."

"It's because the entire multidimensional world has not had a supreme god-king for so many years, and this is the compromise they made."

"Therefore... to become a true dragon, one must slay all the dragons and snakes under heaven and unite the authority of all paths into one!"

At this point, the voice of the Heavenly Evolution of Order was tinged with hatred. He said, "But... the high-ranking God-Kings have ruled the Ancient Continent for so many years, their power is deeply entrenched."

"If you kill them without a legitimate reason, the gods will be in danger and may harbor resentment towards you."

"So you have to borrow a knife, use my hand, to kill them! That way you can minimize the impact."

At this point, the voice of the Heavenly Evolution of Order inexplicably took on a touch of melancholy.

The problem is... I still can't refuse.

"Because... this is a calculated move that puts losses on both sides."

"If I hadn't become a weapon in your hands, I wouldn't have been able to improve my strength to this level. Facing all six of you, I wouldn't have had a single chance of winning."

"Only by becoming a knife in your hand can I have a chance to turn the tide."

At this point, the grand voice of the Heavenly Evolution of Order carried a self-deprecating smile for the first time.

"So, no matter which one I choose, the outcome seems to have been predetermined."

He looked at Qiu Tu, and all the emotions in his golden eyes—anger, resentment, anxiety, despair—had faded away, leaving only a void devoid of any emotion.

"You truly deserve to be called a god of order; your strategic planning ability is indeed astonishing."

"but!"

At this point, Heavenly Evolution of Order paused, then let out two cold laughs.

"To complete your plan, you need one last step: kill me."

"If you've done all this, and yet I still manage to kill you, you'll become the biggest joke in the history of the entire 'Ancient Continent'!"

Upon hearing the words of the Heavenly Evolution of Order, Qiu Tu, who was standing in mid-air, couldn't help but clap softly.

He said, "A very good speech."

"However, Your Majesty Tianyan, I will not accept the mudslinging you have thrown at me."

"I never intended to harm any high-ranking god-king."

"You killed so many high-level God-Kings in order to increase your strength; that was your own choice."

They were all old foxes; of course, Heavenly Evolution of Order knew that Qiu Tu would never admit to this. But he didn't care.

From the moment he chose to walk the path that Qiu Tu had arranged for him, he never thought of getting out unscathed.

So he looked at Qiu Tu and said, "Qiu Tu, there's no point in saying more."

"A quick tongue cannot determine the outcome of a battle."

"Everyone knows that your trump card is Zephyr."

"The reason you dared to let me devour so many high-level god-kings is because you have absolute confidence in her strength."

"Then... let me see her true strength five years from now."

Upon hearing what the Heavenly Evolution of Order said, Jasmine, Princess Radiant Fate, Old White, and La Riluo, who were all present, couldn't help but look up at Zhao Ji.

Even the god-kings who were remotely monitoring this great battle with their divine senses couldn't help but look at Zhao Ji.

Six years ago, no one knew Zehime.

Five years ago, a great battle revealed to everyone a peerless genius who was able to slay the "Destruction Tyrant" just as he had become a high-level God King and embarked on the "Path to Supremacy".

Everyone was amazed by her strength, talent, and potential.

Although the title of the world's number one was still held by the Chaotic Witch at the time, everyone knew that it was only a matter of time before the title of the world's number one would change hands.

Now, five years have passed.

Everyone is curious about how much this woman has grown in the past five years.

Although five years is just a blink of an eye for a high-level god-king with a lifespan of thousands or tens of thousands of years.

But everyone believed that this woman would definitely be different...

At this moment, just as everyone was looking forward to it, Zhao Ji slowly shook her head.

She stood beside Qiu Tu, shook her head slightly, and said, "Tian Yan, your opponent is not me, but Qiu Tu."

Upon hearing Zhao Ji's words, Tian Yanming was taken aback.

Unlike some villains who laugh or mock, he looked at Qiu Tu before slowly saying to Zhao Ji, "Do you think... I'm not worthy of being your opponent?"

Upon hearing his words, Zhao Ji shook her head again, then uttered a sentence that shocked everyone: "No, it's him... who is stronger than me."

As soon as Zhao Ji spoke, the entire battlefield fell silent.

A gust of wind blew by.

"Pfft~" Jasmine covered her mouth and laughed.

Her laughter wasn't loud, but it was extremely jarring throughout the battlefield.

However, no one paid any attention to her.

The enormous golden eye of the Order of Heaven, which encompassed the heavens and earth, coldly stared at Zhao Ji and hummed as it spoke.

"This is not funny."

Upon hearing his words, Zhao Ji looked at him calmly and said in a cool tone, "I never joke."

Seeing that Zhao Ji still wouldn't take back her "ridiculous" words, Xu Yi Tianyan was so angry that he laughed instead, "Hehehe, very well."

"In that case, I'll see what this God-King Qiu Tu, whose strength surpasses yours, has to offer!"

As he spoke, the golden eyes of the Order of Heaven suddenly turned to Qiu Tu!

The next second, the golden sea of ​​fire that had been burning quietly since the conversation began, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, suddenly poured down!

"boom--!!!"

The endless sea of ​​golden fire swirled and compressed wildly as it fell, carrying with it the terrifying power to incinerate everything, and swept straight toward Qiu Tu!

As a veteran God-King, Order Heavenly Evolution, while respecting the strong, is equally ruthless in his actions.

He wanted to have a fair fight with Zhao Ji, wanting to leave no regrets and witness the strength of this legendary genius who appears only once every million years.

However, since Zhao Ji was unwilling to take action and instead let Qiu Tu fight him, he would not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

After all, he hadn't forgotten that Qiu Tu was the root of everything.

If Qiu Tu is killed, then he will be the only candidate left for the Supreme God King of the "Path of Order"!

Then, all the initiative will return to his hands!

Therefore, he held nothing back when facing Qiu Tu. All the power amplification he had just gained from burning his divine soul, along with the sea of ​​fire, poured towards Qiu Tu without any mercy!

That immense power almost reached the threshold of the Supreme God-King, and even Jasmine and Zhao Ji dared not easily accept it!

Therefore, when he saw Qiu Tu engulfed in flames, his golden eyes were filled with coldness and killing intent!
