Then let them offer their loyalty!

Qiu Tu carried Shen Lingshuang into the next room, where a woman of about thirty years old was already waiting.

Upon seeing Qiu Tu enter, she quickly stepped aside, and Qiu Tu carefully placed Shen Lingshuang on the bed.

Then he instructed the woman, "Sister Xin, I'll leave this girl in your care from now on."

Sister Xin hurriedly rubbed her hands together and replied, "A-Tu, don't worry. You've taken such good care of us these past few years, and we're all grateful people."

"Leave her with me, I'll take good care of her. Even if she wakes up, I'll keep her calm."

Qiu Tu nodded and then walked out of the room.

Arriving at the door, Qiu Tu looked at the eagle standing there and quietly instructed, "You keep watch at my door."

"If you find something is wrong, don't hesitate, take Sister Xin and Shen Lingshuang away immediately."

The eagle grunted in response, its gaze calm.

Qiu Tu then took out his communicator and handed it to him, instructing, "If Qin Laosi calls before I come out, reply as I instructed this afternoon."

"I don't care about anything else, the most important thing is to get him to take Qin Shuman away from the Qin family."

"At that time, military personnel will meet them at a designated location."

The eagle grunted again.

Qiu Tu added, "I've gotten over a thousand silver dollars from the Investigation Bureau and the Qin family these past few days, and I've put them all in the black sedan that Qin Zhengguang brought over today."

“If anything happens to me, take this money and drive to Dongcheng City in the south.”

"The head of the investigation bureau there doesn't get along with Yan Chen, so he won't issue a warrant for your arrest. You can stay there or use it as a transit point."

Perhaps a little unaccustomed to Qiu Tu's arrangements for his final affairs, Eagle remained silent for a moment before finally speaking up and asking, "Is it really necessary to take this gamble?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu smiled and patted him on the shoulder, his words revealing resilience and magnanimity, "If you want to get ahead, how can you not take risks?"

"We're already incredibly lucky to have the chance to take a gamble. I wonder how many people would love to take a gamble but never have the opportunity."

After saying that, Qiu Tu turned around and went back to his room, then closed the door.

He arranged everything meticulously because he wasn't sure what would happen after drinking the [Catastrophe Potion].

While there may be no immediate danger to life, the danger of the [Catastrophe Potion] is not just about taking lives: mutation, corruption, and alienation are all possible.

That's why he made sure everything around him was arranged before embarking on this unknown path.

Like Shen Lingshuang's journey home, Qin Shuman's freedom, like Artest and the Hawks' lives in the coming years...

Ultimately, there's still a sliver of kindness in his heart...

Thinking this, Qiu Tu looked up and gazed once more deeply at the dark, tranquil sky outside the window. Then, he picked up a bottle of [Catastrophe Potion], pulled out the stopper, and resolutely tilted his head back to drink it!

'Anyway, I've already been given a second chance at life, and I've even slept with a beauty like Qin Shuman, so it's not a loss!'

As the [Cataclysmic Potion] entered his throat, Qiu Tu instantly felt a cool sensation travel from his throat to his chest and abdomen, which then quickly spread to every corner of his body.

In the next instant, he felt as if he were once again in the clear blue ocean.

Unlike the previous two times, this time he dived directly into the seabed, or rather... he transformed into the ocean.

His thoughts gradually scattered and drifted away, like raindrops falling from the sky, scattered by the wind, and then gathered into rivers, lakes and seas. He seemed to have transformed into drops of water, grains of morning dew, and storms in the cataclysmic world.

He swept through every inch of land under the control of the shelter, accompanied by a storm!

It was a mysterious feeling that was hard to describe, yet it captivated him...

However, his good fortune didn't last long. As he went deeper, the mist around him became increasingly sticky and filthy, as if it had transformed from clear, clean water into foul-smelling, viscous asphalt.

His whole body seemed to be enveloped, becoming stiff and sluggish, and even breathing became difficult.

As darkness deepened, a sense of danger, a shadow of fear, and a burning rage intertwined in his heart.

Just when he was on the verge of collapse, the coolness within Qiu Tu's body finally erupted. Like the last fortress, it protected Qiu Tu's last bit of consciousness and helped him break free from his restraints!

Qiu Tu stirred up the wind and rain once again, carrying a sky full of water mist as he fled from this sticky, foul-smelling abyss.

After an unknown amount of time, Qiu Tu finally escaped that suffocating area. He looked back.

His senses seemed to pierce through layers of space, revealing a completely new world—the vast, boundless ocean was merely a small pond, and most of the world was shrouded in darkness, like asphalt and silt...

In that instant, an overwhelming sense of sorrow welled up within him, as if he were lamenting for the entire world...

The next second, he completely lost consciousness...

He didn't know how much time had passed; it could have been only 10 minutes, or it could have been an hour. Qiu Tu awoke from the darkness.

He noticed that his body seemed to have undergone many changes, and his mind was filled with a lot more information...

That is the code engraved on the foundation of the world, revealing the secret of the universe's extraordinary power. Every extraordinary being receives this mysterious gift upon their first awakening.

I closed my eyes and quietly sorted through the information in my mind.

After a moment, Qiu Tu slowly opened his eyes.

The next second, his originally deep black eyes suddenly turned into a clear azure.

At the same time, his vision suddenly blurred, as if covered by frosted glass. The material world around him began to gradually disappear, replaced by a dark and dreamlike mist that quietly spread.

He looked around and saw that the things he saw were no longer tangible and material, but lines of various shapes, almost transparent and about to disappear.

His gaze pierced through the illusory walls, allowing him to clearly see the next room, where a cluster of blazing flames lay quietly, while another cluster of dim flames sat to the side.

He looked towards the doorway, where a cluster of flames paced back and forth. Beyond that flame, several kilometers away, a colossal black shadow, tens of meters tall, stood silently, majestic and solemn...

'The Cataclysmic Era, the Boundless Sea of ​​the Heart...'

Thinking this, Qiu Tu slowly withdrew from his spiritual vision state, his gaze complex.

The information he gleaned from the origin of the world finally allowed him to fill in the gaps regarding the secrets of this world...

Chapter 49 The First Cataclysmic Ability (7000 words, please continue reading)

According to the information engraved on the foundation stone of the world, the world did indeed experience a cataclysmic event called the "Apocalyptic Cataclysm" several decades ago.

This cataclysm plunged the entire world into chaos and devastation, and all living beings were baptized and enlightened by the power of the cataclysm.

Even more serious is that, because of this cataclysm, a spiritual world called the "Boundless Sea of ​​the Heart" was born above the material world.

That world is the aggregate manifestation of the consciousness of all things, reflecting and influencing the material world. Its appearance changes with the beliefs, emotions, and memories of living beings, and in turn, it affects the real world.

Order, chaos, life, immortality, destruction, and mystery are the six calamity forces born in the Boundless Ocean of the Heart.

Every being who embarks on the path of the extraordinary will resonate with one of these six forces, and then... become a "practitioner" of these six forces in the material world.

The power that Qiu Tu resonates with is... order.

Coming to his senses, Qiu Tu's eyes revealed deep thought.

He wasn't surprised that the path he resonated with was order. After all, for the more than twenty years before his transmigration, he had mostly lived in a peaceful and stable era.

Even during the years he was imprisoned, he always longed to return to a life of order and tranquility.

To his surprise... his branch on the path of order...

"Order-Politics".

"Politics refers to the actions of governments, political parties, and other entities in governing the country. It is the sum of various social activities and social relations centered on state power."

"In a cataclysmic era, building a stable and healthy nation is undoubtedly the best way to guide humanity toward recovery."

"So, climbing to the top within the existing sanctuary system, or building a completely new nation from scratch, would be the best way for me to practice the path of order?"

"The higher the position, the greater the power, the more people I can unite, rally, and influence, and the stronger my power will be?"

Recalling the information in his mind, Qiu Tu had a strange look on his face.

'So... if I want to increase my power, I have to get promoted? From section chief to division chief, then director? From ruling an entire city to wielding power over a planning district, and finally to ruling over a shelter?'

'Only by subjugating everyone to my order can I reach the pinnacle of this extraordinary path?'

To be honest, Qiu Tu felt that this goal was a bit too ambitious and exaggerated.

He felt that although he had some ambition, at most he wanted to be a section chief or department head, live off the government, chat with a few beautiful female subordinates, drink tea, and handle official business.

Suddenly being asked to take such a high position and being burdened with the heavy responsibility of rebuilding the entire human order, he felt a bit overwhelmed.

However... the extraordinary powers in this world are so special that once a person's path is determined, it cannot be changed.

so.....

Qiu Tu blinked. "How about we set a small goal first? To sit in Yan Chen's seat?"

"From section chief to director, that should be enough for my supernatural powers to undergo a leap forward, right?"

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu slowly made up his mind: Then he would take Yan Chen's seat first!

After making up his mind, Qiu Tu's mentality became much calmer.

He temporarily pulled his thoughts back and began to focus on his physical condition after the cataclysmic awakening.

He carefully examined his body.

After the examination, the most striking impression was that his body seemed to have been reshaped. Not only had he become stronger, but his skin had also become smoother, and even the scars on his body had disappeared.

He clenched his fist, then swung it forward with a sudden whoosh! Documents flew everywhere!

"So strong," Qiu Tu said, his eyes showing surprise.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he had this feeling that he could kill a bull with one punch.

He lowered his fist, squatted down, bent his knees to gather strength, and then kicked out suddenly.

The next second, his head slammed solidly into the roof!

With a muffled thud, Qiu Tu clutched his head and fell to the ground.

Hey, it doesn't hurt.

"Boom boom boom!"

Just as Qiu Tu was excitedly conducting his experiment, there was a sudden knock on the door from the outside.

Along with the knocking, there was also Eagle's question, "Brother Tu, is that you? Are you alright?"

Qiu Tu snapped out of his daze and looked towards the door.

In his spiritual vision state, he saw that although the eagle appeared calm on the surface, it was actually very worried about him and was pacing outside.

The eagle probably heard strange noises inside the house but didn't see him come out, so it suspected that its Cataclysmic Awakening had failed and was getting anxious.

Thinking this, he said, "I'm fine," as he walked to the door, ready to open it.

He gripped the doorknob and twisted it.

"Squeak." The door didn't open.

The doorknob has been twisted off.

Qiu Tu: .....

The eagle outside the door was clearly more anxious and asked again, "Brother Tu, are you alright?"

Seeing this, Qiu Tu didn't bother to fix the door and just punched the lock.

With a loud "bang!", the wood at the door lock shattered, creating a hole.

The eagle outside the door was startled and instinctively tried to back away, but Qiu Tu had already reached out and grabbed the hole in the door, pulling it down.

"I'll have someone replace a door for me later. It has to be iron. Wooden ones aren't sturdy enough."

Qiu Tu casually tossed the door aside, leaving Eagle with only a dashing silhouette.

The eagle was stunned by what it saw and didn't come to its senses for a long time.

After a moment, he took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and strode into the house.

Once inside, he carefully looked Qiu Tu up and down a few times before asking in a low voice, "Brother Tu, did you succeed?"

After saying that, he licked his lips again and asked, "Are the Cataclysms that powerful?"

For a taciturn eagle to utter even these two sentences demonstrates his surprise and curiosity.

So Qiu Tu simply asked him to be his sparring partner to test his current strength.

Five minutes later, after the Eagle was knocked to the ground for the nth time, he rubbed his sore arms and bruised body, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Although Qiu Tu was the eldest brother in the group, his main strength was his sharp mind and the fatherly and elder brother-like care he had given to them. As for his physical abilities and fighting skills, they were actually quite average.
