"Don't come back! Don't come back! Run! Run!"

Upon seeing the contents of the note, Zhao Ji frowned slightly. She couldn't help but glance at the spot that had been smoothed over by the yellow sand.

'Don't come back? Run away?'

Judging from the condition of the note, it was probably not recently written.

'Not divine wrath? So... it was left behind by a god or god-king from the "Battlefield of Gods"?'

Zhao Ji hesitated for a moment.

Then she couldn't help but recall Qiu Tu's analysis during their conversation today: a small "Trial of the Gods" had given out a full six spots, which was abnormal.

The "Trial of the Gods," as the most important ceremony for the selection of the gods, is often closely related to the "Battlefield of the Gods."

The more "God Kings" are born, and the more unified the path becomes, the fewer slots will be given in the "Trial of the Gods".

The fewer the "God Kings" and the more gods fall, the more slots will be given in the "Trial of the Gods".

Therefore, Qiu Tu believes that there is most likely a problem with the "Battlefield of the Gods".

Looking at this note now, it seems to have come true.

Thinking this, Zhao Ji's clear and aloof eyes couldn't help but become even deeper and more unfathomable...

If something happens in the "Battlefield of the Gods", then all the smaller worlds will inevitably be affected, so this is not a good thing.

Fortunately... they still have time.

Thinking this, Zhao Ji pondered quietly for a while, then flicked her hand. The next second, all the notes turned to ashes.

She had just checked them; these slips of paper were just ordinary slips of paper. They were neither catastrophic artifacts nor did they contain any divine aura, making it impossible to locate them.

Therefore, the "variables" of the "Battlefield of Gods" cannot be located in this world and the "world passage" can not be reconstructed simply by looking at these few slips of paper.

However, this does not mean that the world can rest easy.

because....

Thinking this, Zhao Ji's gaze involuntarily fell on the location of the original giant pit.

She sensed the aura of the "Western God King" when she destroyed the "World Passage".

It seems that the Western God King... went to the "Battlefield of the Gods" through the "World Passage".

Although the note couldn't pinpoint the location of this world, the "Western God King" had ruled this world for hundreds of years and had long since accumulated countless trump cards and backup plans.

He likely possesses a powerful artifact or means to locate this world.

'As expected, a troublemaker was left behind.'

After silently sighing to herself, Zhao Ji was not affected by this incident.

Because she knew that she was only an eighth-level cultivator at the time. Winning the battle and killing the God King was already difficult enough, but eliminating the God King completely was simply impossible.

'Forget it, let Qiu Tu handle these complicated matters.'

'I believe he has a way to deal with the Western God King.'

Thinking this, Zhao Ji didn't bother to think any further. She collected the remains of the "Heavenly One" and then vanished into the "Sea of ​​Mandala Sands" as a phantom...

With her departure, everything was as if nothing had happened...

However, perhaps even she didn't realize that, as a former legendary god, she had unknowingly begun to rely on Qiu Tu...

.....

As the big winners of the "Trial of the Gods," three of the six gods are from the human camp.

This also led to a quiet change in the rulers of the entire "Boundless Sea of ​​the Heart".

Previously, it was one thing for Zhao Ji and Qing Lan not to advance, but the three great divine kingdoms could still outwardly comply while inwardly resisting.

Two celestial beings have now been born, and one of them is a super strong being who can kill a god-king at the eighth level.

Therefore, the various forces of the three great divine kingdoms finally dared not shirk their responsibilities and surrendered without resistance.

Not long after Doris ascended to the celestial realm, all the forces of the "Northern Kingdom" surrendered under the persuasion of Emperor Man and Tree Summer.

The situation was similar in the "Western Kingdom." Because they received orders from the "Western God King," all the various forces surrendered very readily.

When Zhiyan Tianwang and Li Fenggang went to persuade them, they readily agreed.

Soon, only the "Eastern Kingdom" remained of the three great divine kingdoms.

In fact, the various factions in the "Eastern Kingdom" are also wronged.

Most of their forces actually wanted to surrender. But... none of them knew Qiu Tu at all.

The only person in the entire "Eastern Kingdom" who had ever met Qiu Tu was the Eastern God King, Takikawa Ei. And Qiu Tu even killed him...

So, even if they really wanted to surrender, they had no choice.

Just then, Tang Feifei led a massive army of 100,000 "pseudo-humans" to the "Eastern Kingdom".

With Qinglan in command, Tang Feifei's troops surrendered wherever they went.

Of course, during this time, some forces loyal to the "Eastern God King" put up a stubborn resistance. Several eighth-tier Great Evil Gods also attempted to assassinate Tang Feifei.

But even though Qinglan is lazy, she's not bad at it.

She was an outstanding individual even within the same realm, let alone now that she was a celestial being.

So, under her influence and with her influence, several eighth-tier evil gods were transformed into "Boundless Divine Crystals," becoming... Tang Feifei's spoils of war.

When Qinglan learned that Tang Feifei had kept her spoils, she was furious. She stormed over to Tang Feifei, wishing she could use her newly learned "Cataclysmic Technique" that was compatible with her "Cataclysmic Path" on Tang Feifei.

But Tang Feifei adopted the air of a commander, her wheat-colored face cold as she stated her reasoning.

"When the army goes on a campaign, all the supplies captured are the spoils of war for the entire army. Rewards will be given after the campaign is over."

"If whoever kills the enemy takes their belongings and keeps them for themselves, wouldn't that create chaos?"

"Therefore, Your Majesty Qinglan, please wait patiently until this operation is over before you come to collect your reward."

At this point, Tang Feifei paused for a moment, then added, "At that time, Qiu Tu will most likely decide how the spoils will be distributed."

"Even if you don't believe me, you should believe Qiu Tu, right?"

It must be said that the last sentence really touched Qinglan.

So after hesitating for a while, Qinglan agreed to Tang Feifei's plan and left the military camp.

When she stormed into the camp, Guan Xiao, Yu Die, and Shen Ling Shuang were all by her side.

Seeing Tang Feifei's decision, Guan Xiao and Yu Die had no objections, but Shen Ling Shuang was a little curious.

She blinked her bright eyes, then looked at Tang Feifei and asked, "Sister Feifei, Qinglan is one of the most important combat forces in our camp."

"If you're not going to support her, why are you restricting her?"

Aren't you afraid of angering her and causing problems?

Upon hearing Shen Lingshuang's words, Tang Feifei looked up, her eyes sharp as blades. Her wheat-colored face was expressionless, and she was as serene and dangerous as a female leopard.

Her frenzied expansion during this period led to an explosive increase in her strength, making her the second strongest member of the human faction, second only to Qiu Tu.

After confirming that Qinglan hadn't been eavesdropping, she slowly said, "Actually... this was a task Qiu Tu gave me."

"Qiu Tu?" Shen Ling Shuang was taken aback, somewhat puzzled. "Why would Qiu Tu do this?"

A hint of reminiscence flickered in Tang Feifei's eyes. She said, "Qiu Tu told me back then: The most important thing in politics is 'rules.' But the least important thing is also 'rules.'"

"As those in power, we must both set rules and disregard them. Only in this way can we better control those below and ensure the stability of the entire ruling system."

Upon hearing Tang Feifei's words, Shen Lingshuang felt a little dizzy.

She couldn't help but say, "Sister Feifei, could you explain it in simpler terms?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Feifei's wheat-colored face broke into a smile.

She glanced at Shen Lingshuang indifferently, then asked in return,

Have you ever heard the saying, "Thunder and rain are both blessings from heaven"?

Shen Lingshuang nodded first, then shook her head slightly. She had clearly heard of it, but didn't quite understand it.

Tang Feifei said, "If you can get a certain salary, honor, and promotion based on how much work you do, how many enemies you kill, and how many achievements you make, then... what's the point of having a higher-up?"

"You received a salary, gained honors, and were promoted through this method. Should you thank your superiors, or do you believe it's something you deserved for your own hard work?"

Shen Lingshuang was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Of course, I earned it through my own efforts."

Tang Feifei smiled. "Yes. It's something you achieved through hard work. So... you've sidelined those above you."

"Because everything you have has nothing to do with those above you. You don't need to obey those above you."

"Does the higher-ups still have control over you?"

Shen Lingshuang was stunned.

Tang Feifei looked at Shen Lingshuang and said calmly, "So... as rulers, as the upper class, although they need to set rules, the rules they set are simple and vague."

"Because the punishment is unknowable, its power is unpredictable."

"You do the same work, and I can pay you your regular salary, plus a bonus, subsidies, or holiday benefits. These are all your earnings, but when they become extra, can't I win you over?"

“You and another person did the same work, but you got promoted while he didn’t. Doesn’t that show how much I value you?”

"The same applies to Qinglan's situation. The spoils are hers, but she can't take them. How much she takes and how she takes them is up to Qiu Tu to decide."

"Qiu Tu can punish her and give her less, or he can bribe her to give her more, but the amount he gives her is Qiu Tu's power. This... is politics."

At this point, Tang Feifei paused, her clear yellow eyes looking out of the tent, as if landing on Qinglan.

She said, "Qinglan is a talented person, but she is too undisciplined and unruly."

"Qiu Tu will not interfere with her personality, but if he wants to recruit her, he must find a way to integrate her into our system."

Hearing Tang Feifei's words, Shen Lingshuang hesitated for a moment, then muttered softly, "But... wouldn't this be too complicated?"

"And...it always feels like I'm scheming against her."

Upon hearing Shen Lingshuang's words, Tang Feifei glanced at Shen Lingshuang indifferently, her expression both elegant and dangerous, like a cheetah.

She said, "Have you forgotten Qiu Tu's path to catastrophe?"

"Order-Politics".

"This was the path he was supposed to follow. If those around him don't follow his 'order,' how long do you think his 'catastrophic path' can last?"

At this point, Tang Feifei's eyes showed a thoughtful expression, and she said softly,

"Moreover, bringing those around him and their influence into his 'order' is only the first step."

"In the future, he also intends to incorporate the entire 'Boundless Sea of ​​the Heart,' the 'Battlefield of the Gods,' and the gods and god-kings within the 'Battlefield of the Gods' into his own 'order'..."

"This is the real challenge..."

Hearing Tang Feifei's words, Shen Lingshuang couldn't help but fall into deep thought...

.....

Meanwhile, Qiu Tu, who was ascending to godhood in "Dragon Burial City," was also quietly "watching" this scene in the military camp of the "Eastern Kingdom."

During his promotion, he felt as if he had fallen into a very magical state...

In the Cataclysmic Era, the first to fifth ranks are Cataclysmic Beings; the sixth to eighth ranks are Earthly Deities; and the ninth rank is Celestial Gods.

In fact, as early as when he was promoted to the Earthly Deity, Qiu Tu had already sensed some of the authority that only "gods" in myths and legends possessed.

For example, within the area they control, they can go anywhere they want;

For example, one can freely view any area under their control;

For example, one can control any item or creature within the area they control.

It can be said that within his controlled territory, Qiu Tu is an omnipotent god.
