Then let them offer their loyalty!

This is one of the most important things Qiu Tu needs to do during Tang Feifei's advancement...

After listening to Qiu Tu's explanation, Guan Xiao understood what abilities Qiu Tu wanted to see in her.

So she stood up and gave Qiu Tu a serious salute.

"Don't worry, Director, I will definitely complete the mission!"

Seeing Guan Xiao's serious expression, Qiu Tu nodded in satisfaction.

Guan Xiao is arguably the most capable of Qiu Tu's subordinates. Qiu Tu feels that she always wastes her energy on seducing him, which is a real waste of her talent!

The right way to use Guan Xiao is for her to work hard outside for me, and only occasionally come back to bother me.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu saw Guan Xiao off after she had eaten and drunk her fill.

He tidied up all his things in the office and called a few detectives to help him move everything to the deputy director's office on the 12th floor.

Thus... Qiu Tu officially took office, becoming the acting director in name only, but in reality, his prestige and power were comparable to the director's...

Upon arriving at his new office, Qiu Tu began to handle the heavy workload of the Investigation Department.

Soon, the day's work was completed.

At 7 p.m., Qiu Tu finished work and had dinner. Then he asked Tan Huimin to lock the office door.

He then returned to the inner lounge and prepared to complete another crucial task he needed to accomplish during Tang Feifei's advancement: refining the final piece of the regional central core and officially becoming the regional master!

Two chapters, 10,000 words each! Please vote with monthly tickets!

Chapter 369 I am the Lord of the Region! (10,000 words, please vote!)

With that in mind, Qiu Tu took out two more Cataclysmic Treasures and placed them in the rest room.

One is a warning artifact, and the other is a counter-surveillance artifact.

Qiu Tu, in his capacity as acting director, obtained all of these items from the Logistics and Equipment Section.

Unlike his previous entries into the "Boundless Heart Sea," Qiu Tu is now a Tier 3 Cataclysm.

He no longer needs the "talisman skull" to enter and exit the "Boundless Sea of ​​Mind," but can go there in his true form.

According to the information obtained from Tang Feifei.

The biggest difference between a Tier 3 Cataclysm and a Tier 2 Cataclysm is that they are completely transformed!

In the context of the Xianxia world, Qiu Tu has shed his mortal form and cultivated a true Dharma body!

No matter how many diseases, disabilities, or hidden ailments the body had before, after advancing to the third rank, they all became completely unrelated to the new body.

The new body was reshaped using the power of cataclysm in a way that perfectly matched the soul.

It can be said that this body was entirely formed from the power of cataclysm.

Blood vessels, muscles, nerves, and so on are simply existing in ways that humans are accustomed to.

Although he has never had his genes tested, Qiu Tu believes that his current genes are the same as in his previous life, rather than the same as in his predecessor.

The advantage of the body being entirely materialized from the power of cataclysm is that, because it is not "material," the spiritual world of "Boundless Heart Sea" will no longer reject Qiu Tu's body.

Traveling between two worlds no longer requires using a time portal; instead... it's as simple as drinking water...

Thinking this, Qiu Tu's originally dark eyes slowly turned into a clear azure.

In his field of vision, the material world around him began to gradually fade away. In its place was a dark world in which lines of various shapes, almost transparent and about to disappear, shone brightly.

The lines stretched into the distance, forming real objects and buildings in the darkness.

If we get to this point, it's all just a state of spiritual vision, but... just then, Qiu Tu slowly stretched out his hand and then suddenly pressed down.

The next second, the plane he was standing on suddenly began to flip, and all the lines and objects rotated with him!

As the world turned in another direction, the lines in the darkness before Qiu Tu's eyes began to gradually extend outwards!

Some of those lines outlined the shape of hillsides, some the shape of streams, and some the shape of valleys.

The darkness gradually began to fade, and the chirping of insects and birds began to reach Qiu Tu's ears!

A vast primeval forest gradually appeared before Qiu Tu!

This is... the true appearance of the "Boundless Ocean of the Heart" New Territories area!

As an entity that is interdependent with the real world, the areas of the Boundless Sea of ​​the Mind correspond one-to-one with the buildings and objects in the real world.

The two are like light and shadow, two sides of the same coin in the world, only they manifest themselves in different ways.

Upon arriving at the Boundless Sea of ​​Hearts, Qiu Tu immediately activated "Infinite Vision" to confirm his location.

Entering the Boundless Sea of ​​Mind through the "Charm Skull" is equivalent to logging into a game account.

Where you left last time, you'll come back up here this time.

However, entering the boundless sea of ​​the mind by one's physical body would correspond to the real environment.

Qiu Tu's location is a swamp in the southeastern part of the New Territories.

He had been here before; it was a relatively remote place. Judging from the "infinite field of vision," the main force of the boat-shaped dragons was searching for ley line nodes in other places.

Meanwhile, the two evil gods, Whale and Evil Moon, were refining something while sitting on a ley line node.

When Qiu Tu made his last deal with Tang Feifei, he also asked her about the method to become the lord of the area in the shelter.

According to Tang Feifei, during this period, the Eighth Shelter had obtained the method to become the lord of the area from other shelters.

The refining method is the same as that used for the two evil gods, Whale and Evil Moon.

They all searched for the ley line nodes in the boundless sea of ​​the mind, and then tried to refine them little by little.

The number of leyline nodes varies in each region of the Boundless Heart Sea.

Some have 36, some have 49, some have 64, some have 81, some have 108, and the most is said to be 365!

According to research from other shelters, the number of leyline nodes and the size of the region are related to the region's energy level (the total amount of cataclysmic power it contains).

Besides refining leyline nodes, there is another way to become the ruler of a region. However, the other shelters did not tell the Eighth Shelter.

It's also possible that the shelter's higher-ups didn't tell the people below.

They simply said that if they encountered the second method, they would understand.

Qiu Tu guessed that this must be referring to the central refining area!

Tang Feifei guessed that Qiu Tu might have used the second method, so after she finished speaking, she gave Qiu Tu a complicated look.

However, she always knew where the boundaries of their relationship lay, so she didn't press the matter.

Because this secret was too important, Qiu Tu did not explain it to Tang Feifei.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu slowly pulled himself out of his thoughts. He checked the refining speed of the whale shark and the evil moon again.

The New Territories is a medium-sized area, and although 81 leyline nodes are not many, they are not few either.

During this time, besides hunting down Qiu Tu, Whale Shark and Evil Moon have been refining nodes, and they have already refined 65. They are already more than halfway there.

Give them a few more days, and they should be able to finish refining it completely.

This is also why Qiu Tu came to the New Territories region to refine the last bit of the regional hub as soon as things in the real world came to an end!

With that in mind, Qiu Tu didn't delay any longer.

Using the power of the regional central authority, he altered the terrain, dug a hole beneath the swamp, and then slowly slid into it.

Afterward, he made room for ventilation elsewhere, and finally filled the pit.

At this point, all preparations were complete, and even if a boat came looking for him, it wouldn't be able to find him.

After doing all this, Qiu Tu took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and looked inward. He looked at his stomach.

The watery central nervous system was still quietly suspended in Qiu Tu's stomach.

Upon seeing this, Qiu Tu composed himself, silently gathered the power of cataclysm, and began refining the last part of the regional central hub.

Time passed second by second...

I don't know how much time had passed. Maybe an hour, maybe a whole night...

Just as Qiu Tu was completely immersed in the refining area's central core.

Suddenly, he felt a crisp "snap!" sound!

It seems... he broke through a barrier.

In that instant, Qiu Tu felt his consciousness drift away. He seemed to fly higher and higher, soaring over the entire New Territories region.

Floating in the New Territories, Qiu Tu felt as if he had become a different person.

He seemed to have truly become a god of the entire region.

His heart moved, and this area seemed to change accordingly.

Whatever he desires, this region will conjure up to meet him.

The terrain, the life, everything in this area belongs to him.

He is the god of the entire region, and all living beings within it are his people...

More importantly... his aura began to spread. It rapidly spread from one corner of the area to the entire New Territories.

Wherever he went, everything seemed to be permeated by Qiu Tu's aura, and the aura that La Riluo originally left behind was directly wiped out.

Even more importantly... the ley lines that had been lit up by the whale and the evil moon were completely erased by that aura.

For some inexplicable reason... Qiu Tu seemed to hear the unwilling roars of the whale and Xie Yue!

Clearly, they simply could not accept that the earth vein nodes they had painstakingly refined over so many days had been cleared away by Qiu Tu!

Soon, the entire New Territories region was finally completely unified! After more than a month of being without a master, the New Territories region finally welcomed its new master!

Meanwhile.

Floating in the air, Qiu Tu felt a surge of new information flooding his mind...

That feeling was very similar to the message the origin of the world conveyed to him when he became the Cataclysm.

After quietly sorting through the information in his mind, Qiu Tu gradually emerged from that extraordinary state.

His consciousness returned to his soul and body.

He blinked, his face full of surprise!

'After becoming the lord of the region... I will have complete control over this region.'

The rules of a region will also change depending on the "catastrophic pathways" within that region.

For example... if Lariello originally controlled this area, then the attribute of this area would be "Life".

'But I control this area. Therefore, the attribute of this area becomes "order."'

'Does the region attribute serve two purposes?'

'Firstly... those who are Cataclysmic or Cataclysmic creatures from the same path will receive more bonuses.'

'Furthermore, the refining of the central area and ley line nodes will also be faster.'

Conversely, if the Cataclysm or Cataclysm creatures originate from other sources, the refining efficiency will be reduced.

Secondly... different regional attributes will result in different additional effects. These effects may even vary depending on the abilities of the region's ruler.

'As a Cataclysmic Being of the "Order" pathway, my ability is "Order Space."'

'So... now the entire New Territories region's attribute has also changed to "Order".'

'Furthermore... I can also establish rules within this area, and all living beings must abide by those rules.'

'If the rules are violated, various punishments can be imposed.'

'Including but not limited to...capacity restriction, imprisonment, forced labor, death....'

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu's eyes flickered. The abilities of this region's lord could be described as an amplified and enhanced version of his "Order Space".

In the real world, he can only set rules within a few meters of himself at most. And these rules cannot be applied to people of a higher rank than himself.

However... in the New Territories, he can set rules without any restrictions throughout the entire area!

Moreover... it can be applied to people of a higher rank than yourself.
