Let them offer their loyalty!-Chapter 1586 - 662: Lady, You Have No Choice

Upon hearing Qing Lan's words, Qiu Tu's brow furrowed slightly.

He wasn't concerned about Kabane imitating his actions, because... this was a trap he had set himself.

His purpose in stepping into the limelight was to confuse the others taking the "Heavenly God Trial" so they couldn't figure out how he had tamed the "Puppet Insect."

Therefore, someone following his example had been within his expectations all along.

However, what he did not anticipate was the other party's intense reaction, intending to topple the "Isolation Mountains."

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but ask, "Is the 'Isolation Mountains' really that fragile now?"

Qiu Tu thought for a moment, then added, "I remember that over a month ago, when the 'Heavenly God Trial' had just begun, the 'Isolation Mountains' were still very solid?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Qing Lan nodded with a serious expression, "Yes."

"At the beginning of the 'Heavenly God Trial,' the 'Isolation Mountains' were indeed very solid."

"Back then, three forces joined together and tried to push from the inside to topple the 'Isolation Mountains,' finding it effective but requiring substantial power."

"To avoid other forces taking advantage of them, they ultimately abandoned this plan."

"But over the last month, the situation with the 'Isolation Mountains' has rapidly deteriorated."

"Perhaps too many Eighth Rank deities have arrived in the 'Edge Region.' Even if these deities try to avoid using abilities surpassing the 'Region's capacity limits,' the accumulated amount is still huge over this month."

Speaking this, Qing Lan paused, then added, "Actually, half a month ago, when you ascended to the Eighth Rank, we noticed a slight change."

She said, "Back then, King Zhi Yan mentioned that there was already 'World Sensing,' which itself represented the fusion of two major regions."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu nodded slightly.

"World Sensing" itself is a symbolic event. Now it seems that ever since then, the entire "Edge Region" has been speeding up its fusion with the "Core Region."

Now, very likely, it has reached another critical point, which explains why Kabane again wants to topple the "Isolation Mountains."

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu's mind also settled even more. It seems, whether or not Kabane topples the "Isolation Mountains," the fusion of the two domains will soon arrive.

Although this is happening much faster than he anticipated, he can only adapt to the situation as it unfolds.

Fortunately... he has the "Si Yuan Club" as his trump card in hand. Perhaps... the collapse of the "Isolation Mountains" might not be a bad thing for him.

With this thought, Qiu Tu no longer hesitated, and a charming smile reappeared on his face.

He reached out and wrapped his arm around Qing Lan's shoulder, then said, "No need to worry. These are small matters; if they want to push, let them push. We just need to do our part well."

Having never been so close to Qiu Tu socially, Qing Lan was somewhat uncomfortable and tried to shake free a couple of times.

But Qiu Tu now was at the same rank as her, no longer that little shrimp that she could manipulate at will.

So, after struggling a couple of times, she found it futile, and couldn't help but glared at Qiu Tu.

Qiu Tu seemingly didn't understand Qing Lan's intention, so he glanced down at her and asked, "What's the matter?"

Qing Lan, being embraced by Qiu Tu, then warned, "I'm not one of your women. Don't get any ideas about me."

"I'm not interested in you."

Upon hearing Qing Lan's words, Qiu Tu couldn't help but laugh.

He replied, "Qing Lan, you misunderstand. I'm not interested in you either. We're just likeminded comrades."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Qing Lan gave him a skeptical look, "You'd better be."

After saying this, Qing Lan quietly muttered to herself,

'This darned thing... previously when deceiving me, promised to give me the "Heavenly God's positional frame." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

'But who would've thought, in such a short time, he's already Eighth Rank. He's probably going to break his word.'

'I've already lost out significantly; if I end up investing myself, then it would be a total loss.'

'It's better to just work, than to become a shareholder.'

This detestable and hardworking Great Evil God clearly has a clear view of life.

Having finished discussing the intelligence, the two resumed focusing on their own matters.

Their roles were clearly defined.

Qiu Tu oversees the overall situation, working hard to increase the odds of their small group's success; Zhao Ji works tirelessly to improve her strength, aiming to boost her real combat power into the top 5 of the "Heavenly God Trial" leaderboard.

Qing Lan manages the intelligence, utilizing "Fog Hidden Association's" information system to acquire every facet of the "Heavenly God Trial."

As for... Candle Dance, she just indulges in food and drink, enjoying herself.

At most, she occasionally provides a boost of power to Shen Lingshuang.

With the aid of Candle Dance, the "Twin," Shen Lingshuang's "Spirit Group" inside has grown enlarging with each passing day, her capabilities surging rapidly.

In just two months, her prowess has ascended to the Fourth Order and is still advancing swiftly.

Based on the initial experiments at the "Qing Lan Divine Domain - Three Capitals," such enhancement might persist until their powers converge.

Thus, to a certain extent, Shen Lingshuang's power limit has long been unleashed.

While pondering this, Qiu Tu returned to his residence.

At this time, inside his quarters, Shu Xia's phantom was engrossed in reading human literature.

In the past two days, besides kindling Tang Feifei's elevation, the most crucial task for Qiu Tu has been brainwashing Shu Xia.
