Then let them offer their loyalty!

It was more than ten meters away from the location Qiu Tu had previously searched.

Although Qiu Tu sensed something was wrong, he forced himself to suppress it and, following the map's guidance, thoroughly searched the area again!

This time, still nothing was gained...

Slumped to the ground, leaning against the broad wings of the Emerald Shadow Dragon, Qiu Tu frowned deeply.

He carefully sorted through all his thoughts...

He was certain that his thinking was correct. The regional hub should theoretically be located in this area.

However, he can't find the regional central hub now.

There are only two possibilities.

First, the regional central hub has already been taken by someone else or transferred by La Riluo.

Secondly... that regional central hub is active...

It could be a flying insect, a small bird, or a small fish.

Therefore, Qiu Tu's feelings from the two memory fragments were correct, and the straight line he drew was also correct.

However... that doesn't represent the current location of the regional central hub, but rather the location where it previously operated...

'It seems... we still need to search for clues as much as possible. Or perhaps we should just pry Laura open her mouth and ask her about the location of the regional central control area.'

'But...I wonder if those evil gods, and the various factions and families of the Sanctuary, will give me this opportunity when the time comes...'

Thinking this, Qiu Tu transformed Yi Yi back into her ancient tree form, while he himself dispelled the effects of the "Spell Skull" and returned to the real world...

In the boundless sea of ​​my heart, the sun is now blazing.

Moreover, there were lush trees and the sounds of insects and birds everywhere.

However... the real world is not like that.

It was an early winter night. The weather was so cold that even ghosts wouldn't come out.

The trees were bare, and the insects and birds had long since gone into hibernation.

In the stillness of the night, Qiu Tu lay in the second bedroom, his expression somewhat solemn, but he methodically opened the "Fighting Game" of the "Loyalty Game" and chose Shen Lingshuang to challenge La Riluo.

After doing all that, he chose the eagle whose cooldown had ended and started the "fishing game".

A while ago, I don't know if it was because the New Territories City didn't have any new Cataclysmic Treasures or Cataclysmic Materials, or if I was just unlucky.

Qiu Tu sent out several of his subordinates whose loyalty level was over 90.

But apart from retrieving two bottles of "Moonlight Tears", there was no other harvest.

Afterwards, due to a week-long cooldown period, Qiu Tu did not arrange any "fishing games" for the next two days.

Today, having witnessed three evil gods fleeing in panic, Qiu Tu felt that perhaps he might gain something...

With that thought in mind, Qiu Tu finished arranging everything and drifted off to sleep.

Silent all night.

The next day, Qiu Tu woke up early.

Both loyalty games are over.

The "fishing game" yielded no results, but the "fighting game" was quite successful.

"Loyalty game won. Lariro's loyalty +3, now 27. Obtained 'Memory Fragment (Small)'."

Qiu Tu didn't care about loyalty at all.

What he cares about is the newly acquired memory fragments!

This could very well give him another clue about the regional central area!

Thinking this through, Qiu Tu didn't hesitate and directly used the small memory fragment.

The next second, the surrounding environment distorted, and Qiu Tu entered La Ri Luo's memories.

When Qiu Tu came to his senses, he found himself back in the vast primeval forest of the New Territories.

However... compared to the vast, continuous forests in reality, this forest in my memory seemed much shorter, with all the trees still being saplings...

What era is this?

Just as Qiu Tu was thinking this, a somewhat familiar, cold voice rang in his ear.

"From now on, this area will completely belong to you."

"With the help of this area, you also have the possibility of breaking through to the fifth rank."

"The biggest difference between the fifth and fourth tiers is whether or not they have their own divine domain."

"Once you have your own divine domain, refine it, transform it, and make it perfectly suited to your path, you will have the foundation of the fifth tier."

"When you can change the environment of your divine realm at will, and move mountains and seas or sun and moon with a single thought, you can achieve the fifth rank."

Hearing that cold voice, Qiu Tu couldn't help but turn his head to look.

Then "he" saw a face that resembled Larilusa somewhat, but was even more aloof and noble—it was none other than Zhao Ji...

'It seems... this memory's timeline should be from when Zehime just acquired the New Territories?'

Thinking this, Qiu Tu also spoke.

Lariel's personality back then was similar to her current one; she was lively and had a crisp voice.

She smiled and said, "Thank you, sister~ I will cultivate diligently. Besides, I especially like this area."

"It is inherently a life path, and it resonates with me, making it easier to refine."

"Moreover... its central hub is so well integrated with the entire region, and so well hidden."

Upon hearing her words, Zhao Ji also commented expressionlessly.

"The best way to hide a grain of sand is not to put it in a safe, but to put it back in the desert..."

Upon hearing that philosophical statement, Qiu Tu was taken aback, as if he had suddenly thought of something.

And then, at that very moment...

The scenery around him changed.

The next second, he snapped out of that tiny fragment of memory and returned to reality!

Lying in bed, Qiu Tu opened his eyes and murmured, "The best way to hide a grain of sand is not to put it in a safe, but to put it back in the desert..."

The information conveyed in this statement is actually quite direct: a regional central point is a very common thing.

In the vast primeval forest of the New Territories, there are many things that are the same as the "regional hub"!

Therefore, Zhao Ji simply put this central area back into the New Territories, letting it return to the desert and the sea.

However... there are too many "ordinary" and "numerous" things.

Sand, leaves, flying insects, birds and animals... are all common and abundant.

So, what exactly is a regional central hub?

Thinking this, Qiu Tu hesitated for a moment before using the "Charm Skull" to enter the boundless sea of ​​his mind again.

He planned to think while gazing at the vast primeval forest.

After all... perhaps being in that situation might spark a flash of inspiration...

Arriving at the Boundless Heart Sea, Qiu Tu awakens the emerald shadow dragon Yi Yi, mounts her, and begins his patrol of the Boundless Heart Sea once again.

Zhao Ji's intimidating presence was still quite strong. Although six or seven hours had passed, the three evil gods and the shelter staff had not returned.

Qiu Tu guessed that they would probably send someone or some mutated creatures to probe and investigate at least 24 hours later.

If they confirm there is no danger, they should not come to test the waters in person for at least two days...

'Only two days...'

Silenced in his heart, Qiu Tu sat atop the Emerald Shadow Dragon, slowly flying above the primeval forest...

Before my eyes stretched endless, boundless forests, streams babbling merrily through the woods, the chirping of insects, the calls of birds, the drifting clouds, and the setting sun...

Looking at the beautiful scene, Qiu Tu took out the "Ghostly Map" and marked the location of his ancient tree.

Then, following the direction he sensed from his memory, he drew a straight line along the ancient tree.

If two straight lines intersect at a single point, then three straight lines would be a complete mess.

In particular, the straight line of the ancient tree is even in the opposite direction to the straight line of the stream.

'So the regional central hub really is mobile...'

Thinking this, Qiu Tu suddenly froze!

Mobile?!

Yup!

If the central area is mobile, then it cannot be immobile objects such as sand, stones, soil, or leaves!

It must be at least a living, moving creature or object!

Thinking this, Qiu Tu sat on the back of the Emerald Shadow Dragon flying in the air and looked down at the "Ghostly Map".

The next second, his eyes lit up and he had a guess in his mind.

He chatted with Cuiying Long Yiyi using the term "Tongxin Silkworm".

"Yiyi, Princess Larilu regularly wanders around, or catches some small insects, or birds?"

Emerald Shadow Dragon Yiyi, "Waaah~"

After receiving a negative answer from Yiyi, Qiu Tu couldn't help but burst into laughter!

He guessed it! He finally figured out what the regional central hub really was!

Thinking this, Qiu Tu suddenly slapped Yi Yi's head and commanded in his mind, "Go to the stream where Princess La Ri Luo is bathing!"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's command, Cuiyinglong Yiyi spread her two enormous wings and, with an unparalleled momentum, glided away, turning towards the stream where Larilu often bathed!

Because it wasn't far from the stream, Qiu Tu arrived at the stream in less than two minutes.

The stream was still crystal clear, and under the crimson glow of the sunset, it was as red as fire, as red as blood!

Qiu Tu plunged his hand into the water, unleashing the power of catastrophe!

Hmm... there's no response.

But Qiu Tu was not in a hurry.

As the stream flows, the central area formed by a single drop or handful of water also circulates through the forest.

My own cataclysmic power can only be activated within four or five meters in water. It's normal that I can't sense it now.

All I need to do is quickly search along the stream, and I'm sure I can find that central area!

Thinking this, Qiu Tu also began to go upstream along the stream, constantly activating the power of catastrophe!

Time passed second by second.

Just as Qiu Tu had followed the stream and circled most of the primeval forest!

When his cataclysmic power was almost exhausted!

Suddenly, his cataclysmic power abruptly stirred up a handful of stream water not far away!

The next second, the stream water splashed out like a fish, turning into a water ball the size of a glass marble, flying towards Qiu Tu!

Reach out and pinch the clump of stream water.

The stream water subtly changed shape in Qiu Tu's hands, and the feel of it was excellent.

With the stream in his hand, Qiu Tu inexplicably felt as if he had developed a subtle connection with the entire New Territories region!

"Water is the source of life! This region certainly aligns with the pathway of 'life.'"

Thinking this, a smile involuntarily appeared on Qiu Tu's face...
