Then let them offer their loyalty!

You can't be too unfamiliar, nor too familiar. Being unfamiliar can be perceived as harassment by women, while being too familiar means the relationship is already established and difficult to break through.

Furthermore, before using this tactic, you must first determine your own definition of the relationship. If it's just for fun, then anything goes. But if it's defined as pure love, then you can't use this tactic...

After teasing Zhiyan for a bit, Qiu Tu finally got down to business.

He took a drag of his cigarette, and through the swirling smoke, he squinted and said softly, "Lin Xi and I have reached an agreement. She agrees to let me help the 'Mist Shadow Society' win this 'Trial of the Gods.' She also supports me becoming the 'King of the Northwest.'"

"However, she hopes I can reach an agreement with the Kou family so that she can get revenge and completely take down the 6th shelter."

"Let her completely destroy the order that King Kang established."

"This will not only allow her to complete her revenge, but also further enhance her strength."

After listening to Qiu Tu's words, Heavenly King Zhiyan pondered for a moment, weighing the pros and cons in her mind. After a while, she nodded slightly.

Princess Xi's request is perfectly reasonable. Her "catastrophic path" is revenge, and she's already halfway through conquering Sanctuary 6. She definitely can't accept having to stop so easily.

Moreover... if Qiu Tu wants to control the entire "Northwest Region", he must unify the three major shelters.

Therefore, dealing with the Kou family and the 6th shelter are also necessary steps.

Therefore, it was perfectly reasonable for Qiu Tu to agree to this condition.

Thinking this, Heavenly King Zhiyan slowly came back to her senses, then she looked up at Qiu Tu and asked softly, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu nodded slightly and said, "There really is."

He said, "In the next few days, I will deploy troops and go all out to attack the 6th shelter."

"It'll cause quite a stir. It'll likely attract the attention of many 'Trial Participants'."

"I hope Your Majesty can persuade the 'Hidden Mist Society' to help me withstand the pressure."

"Because this could very well determine the success or failure of the entire plan."

Zhiyan Heavenly King keenly noticed the change in how Qiu Tu addressed her.

Qiu Tu called out "Zhiyan sister" all night, but this morning he called himself "Heavenly King." This is clearly not right.

As a politician, every word he says must have a purpose in mind.

What was Qiu Tu's purpose in changing his form of address?

At this moment, while Heavenly King Zhiyan was still guessing Qiu Tu's purpose, Qiu Tu suddenly said something out of the blue.

He smoked a cigarette, looked out the window, and then said, "King... you explained to me before that there was a reason why the Second Sanctuary helped the 'Mist Shadow Society'."

"But you said you couldn't tell me the specific reason."

"Although I have many doubts, I won't make things difficult for you."

"I just want to know one answer... Are you and the Second Shelter loyal to humanity, or to the 'Hidden Mist Society'?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's question, Heavenly King Zhiyan was slightly taken aback and couldn't help but look at Qiu Tu.

Qiu Tu sat by the car window, dappled sunlight falling on him. His features were striking; viewed from the side, the lines were both sharp and fluid, like a meticulously sculpted work of art.

Zhiyan was momentarily lost in thought, but she quickly regained her composure and calmness.

She finally understood why Qiu Tu had suddenly changed how he addressed her.

Thinking this, her expression turned serious, and a hint of piety appeared on her face and body. She said earnestly, "Whether it's me or Shelter No. 2, we both have our hearts set on humanity."

"Everything we do is to enable humanity to truly establish itself in this catastrophic era!"

Hearing Zhiyan Tianwang's extremely sincere answer, Qiu Tu smiled.

Then, after finishing his cigarette, he flicked the butt out the car window, turned to look at Zhiyan, and said earnestly, "In that case, I hope that Heavenly King Zhiyan will definitely help me persuade the 'Mist Shadow Society'."

"Because this could very well be related to the fate of humanity."

Having seen Qiu Tu's carefree and irresponsible attitude for so long, Zhiyan was inexplicably a little unaccustomed to his sudden seriousness.

However, from the moment she spoke, Heavenly King Zhiyan understood Qiu Tu's serious purpose. He was no longer speaking to her in a personal capacity, but rather as a high-ranking member of the human faction.

He needs the help of someone who is also part of the human race. He's likely about to do something big!

Thinking this, Heavenly King Zhiyan's expression also became serious.

She pondered for a moment, but without knowing Qiu Tu's plan, she ultimately didn't dare to give a definite answer.

She said, "I can only say I'll give it a try..."

After speaking, she seemed to have thought of something, her brows furrowed slightly, and then her beautiful eyes fell on Qiu Tu, as if she had guessed something...

'Could it be that Qiu Tu... intends to use this opportunity to quickly break through to the peak of the seventh rank, or even the eighth rank?'

Thinking this, her brows furrowed even more.

'Let's set aside whether Qiu Tu's plan will succeed. Even if it does, what role can an eighth-tier Cataclysm user play in the highly competitive "Trial of the Gods"?'

"The peak of the eighth rank and the eighth rank are practically two different levels. They're not even comparable."

Moreover, even if someone at the eighth rank obtains the "Celestial God Rank," it will be very difficult for them to break through to the Celestial God level in a short period of time.

On the contrary, one might very well encounter various dangers because of the saying "a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime."

So... what exactly does he want to do? And why does he think it will affect the future of humanity?

Although she had many doubts, Zhiyan still kept Qiu Tu's request firmly in mind since he had brought it up so earnestly...

Although she said "I'll try," she was still hoping to do her best to help Qiu Tu resolve this matter...

.....

Ranking of the Trials of the Gods:

1. Youthful Radiance, 2. Kabane, 3. Doris, 4. Apocalypse, 5. White Robe...

15. Zhao Ji....35. Qiu Tu....

57. Azure Mist....70. Candle Dance....

.....

At the very beginning of the "Trial of the Gods", apart from the top 5, the rankings on the leaderboard were changing almost constantly.

Therefore, although Qiu Tu's group of four improved their rankings slightly for various reasons, it did not attract much attention.

Even... most of the "trial participants" didn't really know who Qiu Tu, Zhao Ji, and the other three were.

The current "Trialers" are still in the process of gathering information and understanding the rules.

But for Qiu Tu, the Second Shelter, and the "Mist Shadow Society," this is indeed a huge opportunity.

So, the next day, Qiu Tu immediately began to integrate the forces of the 9th Shelter and the four states, and started to rapidly advance the plan.

In order to rapidly increase his power, Qiu Tu held his inauguration ceremony in the military camp, accompanied by Princess Xi.

He declared himself "Grand Commander of the Northwest" and accepted the allegiance of the three armies. He then appointed Princess Xi as the commander-in-chief of the war and appointed Tang Feifei as the deputy commander-in-chief in charge of military operations.

Afterwards, the two split up and began attacking the 6th shelter. Qiu Tu, on the other hand, was stationed in the central command, providing support from the rear.

Because the Kou family had already secretly pledged allegiance to Qiu Tu, the war progressed incredibly quickly.

The Kou family's armies in various regions were defeated with almost no effective resistance.

Riding on their great victory, Tang Feifei and Lin Xi began to rapidly devour the entire 6th Shelter.

In order to curb the momentum of the two, Kou Xuan "had no choice" but to organize a team of experts from the Kou family, led by Kou Yu, to "assassinate" Qiu Tu!

To catch the thief, first catch the king.

Of course, this was not unexpected. Qiu Tu easily defeated this team of experts without even causing a ripple.

This result was almost entirely unexpected. After all, Kou Yu, at the peak of the fifth rank, had no chance of winning against Qiu Tu, who was at the early stage of the seventh rank.

Since the last struggle was ineffective, and seeing that "things could not be done," Kou Xuan finally "stopped resisting" and took the initiative to lead the 6th Sanctuary and the core members of the Kou family out of the city to surrender.

Thus, under Qiu Tu's leadership, Shelter 9 conquered Shelter 6 at a very low cost.

They not only acquired the entire Cataclysmic Resources of the 6th Sanctuary and the King Kang's Treasury, but also plundered countless gold and silver treasures.

Qiu Tu also kept the promise made by Princess Xi and distributed 80% of the gold and silver treasures he obtained to the officers and soldiers below him.

Money is always the easiest way to win people's hearts.

Therefore, this move of distributing wealth evenly immediately calmed the morale of the 9th Sanctuary, which had been somewhat unstable due to the change of leadership.

Qiu Tu, Tang Feifei, and Princess Xi also divided the work. Tang Feifei was responsible for secretly collecting special treasures, catastrophic treasures, boundless divine crystals, and other items that could increase the "regional energy level" under the guidance of Guan Xiao and other intelligence systems.

Princess Xi, following the original plan, began to eliminate the influence of Prince Kang and nail him to the pillar of shame.

History is always written by the victors.

Therefore, in various official records, King Kang was transformed from a relatively wise new-era monarch who failed due to bad luck into a sinner who promoted "feudal restoration".

This kind of positioning will be completely settled and forever condemned, along with the demise of the 6th Shelter and the generations of propaganda surrounding the 9th Shelter.

Princess Xi has finally avenged her great grudge.

To capture the 6th Sanctuary would destroy King Kang's political legacy and system, and reverse his reputation and public image.

This revenge effect directly boosted her strength from the sixth rank to the late sixth rank. She was just a little short of reaching the peak of the sixth rank.

However, even at the peak of the sixth rank, her control over the "Boundless Sea of ​​Mind" was still lacking in many ways. To advance to the seventh rank, she would need to replenish her foundation in various ways.

In contrast, Tang Feifei's strength improvement was much less. Because she lacked a "root of the nose," her strength remained stuck at the fifth rank, unable to advance further.

However, this way, she can accumulate strength and unleash it later. When the "isolation mountain range" collapses, she can soar directly into the sky...

In just two days, Qiu Tu successfully merged the 6th and 9th shelters (formerly the 7th shelter), becoming the first person in the human camp to own two shelters!

This large-scale operation not only attracted the attention of major human sanctuaries, but also clearly drew the attention of various "Trialers"...

Chapter 640 Becoming the King of the Northwest! (Seeking monthly votes)

Generally speaking, when a "trial participant" signs up for the "Trial of the Gods," they will receive some information.

Therefore, Zhao Ji knew that the "Trial of the Gods" would likely be held in the northwest and southwest regions, and the other "Trial Participants" would also know this information.

This resulted in all 22 factions collecting intelligence on the two major regions during this period.

Qiu Tu's intelligence certainly played a significant role in this.

Even though they hadn't established an intelligence network in the "Northwest Region" before, the major powers still had basic intelligence.

For example, Qiu Tu was the most powerful man in the "Northwest Region" before, and almost unified the entire "Northwest Region".

For example, Qiu Tu is a true prodigy of the human race. In just over two years, he went from an ordinary Cataclysm user to a seventh-tier Cataclysm user.

For example, Qiu Tu had a fierce conflict with the "Mist Shadow Society" and killed the relatives of two high-ranking members of the "Mist Shadow Society", thus completely offending the "Mist Shadow Society".

Of course... it was precisely because they knew this information that they also learned that after Qiu Tu advanced to the seventh rank, he left the "Northwest Region" in order to further improve himself.

This is why, although they obtained information about Qiu Tu, they didn't pay much attention to it.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Tu somehow managed to obtain a spot in the "Trial of the Gods" and participate in it.

However, even so, most of the "trial participants" did not pay much attention to Qiu Tu.

After all, everyone knows that Qiu Tu's ranking is not due to his strength, but rather to his territory and population.

If these external possessions were given to other forces, they might directly allow them to obtain a "Godhood" position.

However, it didn't have much effect on Qiu Tu.

After all, Qiu Tu's strength was too weak. A cataclysmic being at the early stage of the seventh rank was no match for even the peak eighth-rank experts, let alone the eighth-rank gods.

As long as one faction wants to seize Qiu Tu's territory, Qiu Tu has no way to resist.

This also led to... apart from one or two "trial participants" who paid a little attention to Qiu Tu, the other "trial participants" still didn't take Qiu Tu seriously.

As a result... Qiu Tu showed them what it meant to be utterly devastating and to be overwhelming in just three days!

In just three days, Qiu Tu regained his power and began to steadily move toward unifying the "Northwest Region".

It could be said that while various forces were gathering intelligence and lying in wait, Qiu Tu took the lead in launching this trial!

This massive move finally forced all parties to take Qiu Tu seriously and begin to speculate about his true intentions...

Northwest Region - Shelter No. 8 - Disaster Zone.
