Then let them offer their loyalty!

Although he was unsure whether this effect was an "absolute rule" or might weaken as the enemy's strength increased.

But...this is still a huge step forward!

The only problem is... setting this rule isn't that simple.

Depending on the strength of the rules, Qiu Tu will still need to pay the corresponding price.

Some powerful or harsh rules could instantly turn Qiu Tu into a dried-up corpse.

But the good news is... Qiu Tu also has a way to reduce the cost of setting the rules. That is: refining the earth vein nodes.

The more ley lines he refines, the deeper his control over the entire region will be. And the less he will have to pay.

Once he has refined all the ley lines, his control over the area will be at its peak. Whether it's setting rules or altering the terrain, the costs will be significantly reduced!

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu's gaze involuntarily pierced through layers of space and landed on the whale and Xie Yue.

It seems that... if he wants to completely control the entire New Territories region, he still needs to drive away or kill these two evil gods.

Only in this way can he be considered the true ruler of the region!

Now... he's at most a down-on-his-luck emperor in the twilight of a dynasty, driven out of the capital by rebels...

'Don't rush, don't rush... Once Feifei advances to the fourth rank, that's when we'll make our move!'

Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but come back to his senses and recall the other information he had obtained from the "Origin of the World".

After becoming the lord of the region, he learned a lot more.

It turns out that any catastrophic creature that wants to advance to the fifth rank must possess at least one "Boundless Heart Sea" region.

After reaching the fifth rank, each time you acquire a new area, you will become even stronger!

The more areas you acquire, the stronger the Cataclysmic Creatures will become.

Once the nine areas are acquired, the Cataclysmic Creatures will be eligible to travel to the core area of ​​the Boundless Heart Sea.

As for what is in the core area and why one should go there, the "Origin of the World" does not record it.

However, judging from the fact that after obtaining the nine areas, Zhao Ji went straight to the core area without any delay, the core area of ​​the Boundless Heart Sea must be hiding a huge secret.

It is very likely related to the secrets of the entire world, the secrets of the Cataclysmic Era, or advancement to a higher level.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but look up towards the southeast, towards the core area of ​​the boundless sea of ​​the heart.

Although he is weak now, he believes that one day he will be able to reach that area...

at the same time.

At the same time, Qiu Tu completely refined the regional central hub and became the regional lord.

New Territories Area, Earth Vein Node No. 71!

Whale and Evil Moon suddenly opened their eyes and then sensed their connection with the ley line nodes!

The next second, the two looked at each other!

The whale shark's eyes widened in fury as he roared, "Who is it?! Who the hell is it?!"

The two of them had already refined nearly two-thirds of the earth vein nodes and were on the verge of success!

Then, at that very moment, someone actually became the regional lord of the New Territories! All their efforts were completely wasted!

It's important to know that in order to find and refine these leyline nodes, the whale shark poured in cataclysmic power almost day and night!

Even when he discovered the suicide squad, he wasn't distracted. He would only chase after Qiu Tu when he had free time and no new ley line nodes to refine, just to relax!

In order to make the most of the time, he even spent a lot of money to bribe Xie Yue, who was also a "life" path, to transfer the power of catastrophe to him and replenish his own consumption!

When Xie Yue's cataclysmic power was exhausted, he took out the precious "Boundless Divine Crystal" to continue to replenish his power!

Refining earth vein nodes is usually very slow, but he managed to shorten the time by more than half using various methods!

He originally thought that he would definitely become the regional lord of the New Territories!

And now... it's all been for naught?!

Thinking of this, how could the whale shark not be furious!

Who is it! Who on earth is it?!

His eyes were bloodshot, and he wished he could tear the person who ruined his plans to pieces!

As it happened, at that moment, Xie Yue, who was like a child, seemed to receive some kind of signal and listened intently for a moment.

Then, suddenly looking at the whale shark in front of him, he said, "Whale shark, I think I've found someone who's ruining your plans."

"I just received a message from a believer. This morning, Tang Feifei, the acting director of the New Territories City Investigation Department, announced that she had obtained the regional central authority and advanced to the fourth-tier Cataclysm!"

Chapter 370 Getting Alongside Qiu Tu (Congratulations to "ChenyiSain" for becoming the Alliance Leader of our book!)

Upon hearing Xie Yue's words, the whale slowly calmed down.

His long, sharp eyes looked down at Xie Yue beside him, "Tang Feifei...?"

Xie Yue is an evil god who looks very much like a human boy. He is only about 1.4 meters tall and has a short stature. His face is as pale as paper, lifeless, and looks somewhat eerie.

Moreover, it's unclear whether he naturally looked like this or if it's related to his catastrophic abilities. His eyes were empty and lifeless, as if he had no soul.

Upon hearing the whale's question, Xie Yue nodded expressionlessly, his eyes unfocused, and said, "Yes. Tang Feifei. She's the peak third-tier martial arts cataclysm."

"Moreover, if I remember correctly, she is Old Man Tang's own granddaughter. She is the future core of the 'Fengtian Clique'."

"They're not easy to deal with."

Upon hearing Xie Yue's words, the whale chuckled coldly, "What bullshit granddaughter! Future core!"

"In my eyes, he's just an ordinary human being!"

"She dared to steal my position as the regional leader, so she should be prepared to bear the consequences of my wrath!"

As he said this, he smoothed his hair.

He was very tall, about 2.5 meters, and broad-shouldered and thick-waisted, like an iron tower.

However, what seemed somewhat out of place with his temperament was his deep blue hair. This hair flowed like seaweed in the water, adding a touch of quirky charm to his appearance.

At this moment, after mocking Tang Feifei, he seemed to remember something and suddenly said, "That's not right."

"Tang Feifei announced this morning that she has become the regional master and advanced to the fourth-tier Cataclysm."

"But the New Territories area was only brought under control tonight."

Hearing the whale shark's words, Xie Yue said with a blank look in his eyes, "Actually, it makes sense."

"She should already be at the peak of the third tier. She only needs some resources to break through."

“It takes time to refine the central processing area. She may have been secretly refining it for a long time.”

"It's just one step away from victory."

"And in the last two days, she obtained the resources needed to break through to the fourth tier. She directly used the opportunity of breaking through to the fourth tier to accelerate the refining of the regional core!"

"In this way, once she breaks through to the fourth rank, she can directly use the power of the region lord's feedback to reach the peak of the fourth rank!"

At this point, Xie Yue reached up and scratched his paper-white face, saying expressionlessly, "Do you still remember... that monkey that was jumping around like that a couple of days ago?"

Upon hearing Xie Yue's words, the whale nodded.

Xie Yue said, "I now suspect... that monkey is actually Tang Feifei."

"She used some kind of catastrophic artifact that could change its appearance, and deliberately stayed in the New Territories to fly our kites."

"First, as long as she is in the New Territories, she can continue to refine the regional central hub."

"Secondly, she can interfere with the time it takes for us to refine the earth vein nodes."

Upon hearing Xie Yue's words, the whale nodded thoughtfully.

He felt that Xie Yue's analysis was very likely.

Having found an enemy who had ruined his plans, the whale shark's square face became ferocious.

He grinned, a vicious smile on his face. "Now that we've found the enemy, let's go meet her!"

After saying that, he scooped up the 1.4-meter-tall Xie Yue and placed her on his shoulder.

Then he strode towards a magic circle he had set up.

As she walked towards the magic circle, Xie Yue, her face pale and eyes vacant, asked, "What do you want to do?"

"The New Territories now belong to someone else. Unless we take her down, there's no way to turn things around."

"We don't have the ability like Zhao Ji to forcibly infiltrate an area."

Upon hearing his words, the whale shark grinned, revealing two rows of sharp, spike-like teeth.

He said, "I don't intend to turn the tables. But it's not that easy for a human to become the ruler of a region."

"If it were that easy, wouldn't it be simple for those human fourth-tier Cataclysm beings to join forces, attack a weak fourth-tier evil god, and then refine the region?"

"She'll still have to go through a lot before she can become the lord of the region! Hehehe..."

Accompanied by the whale's arrogant laughter, he and Xie Yue slowly disappeared into the magic array.

Meanwhile, the world turned upside down.

In the New Territories, at the military headquarters and city hall, a burly man and a little boy slowly opened their eyes...

A moment later, in the Longshan Road villa area, an elderly man slowly opened his eyes...

......

Meanwhile, Qiu Tu was unaware that Jing Jiao and Xie Yue were plotting to sabotage Tang Feifei's plan to become the controller of the New Territories.

At this moment, after studying the information he obtained from the "Origin of the World," he began to slowly receive the boost to his strength from the "New Territory Region."

That feeling was wonderful...

It's as if he suddenly has an invisible and intangible "avatar" or "persona" outside of his body.

That "clone" or "status" seems to directly boost his strength. But... it's not him.

He can use the power within, and he can also directly merge with this "clone" or "fake entity," turning it directly into his own power!

But... there always seems to be a layer between us.

Although it was smooth and convenient to use, he knew clearly that it wasn't his own power, but rather something he had "borrowed."

More importantly, his "clone" and "fake personality" did not immediately elevate his strength to a whole new level.

Instead, it is growing slowly but steadily.

At first, the boost to Qiu Tu was not much, but after an hour, Qiu Tu felt that his "total" strength seemed to have increased significantly.

Qiu Tu felt that, at this pace, he would need about seven more days to reach the critical point of a fourth-tier Cataclysmic being.

He did a quick calculation. Although Tang Feifei was at the peak of the third tier, her strength was still slightly inferior to Liu Xiong Yuan, who had been at the peak of the third tier for many years.

It took Liu Xiong Yuan four days. Tang Fei Fei should have taken about six or seven days to completely advance.

Calculating the time, it just so happens to be the time when I advance to the next level.

In this way, we can take turns advancing, which will provide some support.

However, the only thing that Qiu Tu couldn't quite understand was...

If I advance to a fourth-tier Cataclysm through the regional master's advancement, then... would I be considered a "pseudo-fourth-tier"?

Qiu Tu still remembers that when Tang Feifei explained to him, the "pseudo" in pseudo-fourth-order was actually the condensation of a pseudo grid, storing the power of catastrophe in the pseudo grid.

It will only combine with the "false grid" and unleash the power of the fourth tier when used.

In this way, although their strength will be slightly threatened, they will not be affected by the "cataclysmic pathway".

Overall, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

However... other people's fake rank can only increase their strength by one small level at most: from the peak of the third rank to the fourth rank.

However, he himself was directly promoted from the third rank to the fourth rank. He was promoted by a whole rank.
