Princess Xi quickly recalled it. If she remembered correctly, Qiu Tu seemed to have left three days ago, right?
When leaving, Qiu Tu said he would have to wait six or seven months before coming back.
Because it was relatively late at that time, the two of them agreed to wait for Qiu Tu to come back and do some hardware softening projects together.
As a result, it has only been two days and Qiu Tu is back?
Is his length of time different from others?
Moreover, Qiu Tu was already at level seven before he went to the "core area". How did he come back?
While she was wondering in her heart, Princess Xi also asked without changing her expression, "Qiu Ming, my lord came back so early, is there something unusual in the "Isolation Mountain Range"?"
Hearing Princess Xi's words, the female dark soldier looked at her with an indifferent expression, and then said, "This is what the Lord asked me to inform you."
She said, "Next, the entire "Northwestern Region" is likely to undergo a huge change, but it will not be an "Isolation Mountain Range", but a "Trial of the Gods"!"
"This is likely to be a disaster even worse than the catastrophe decades ago!"
"Trial of the gods.?" Princess Xi was stunned for a moment, then slowly chewed the word, and an ominous premonition came into her heart.
And at the same time.
Shelter 8. Four States.
Tang Feifei was also frowning as she listened to the report of a female dark soldier.
The more she listened, the more serious her wheat-colored face became.
After a moment, after the dark soldier finished speaking, Tang Feifei said slowly, "You mean that there will be a "God Trial" next?"
"And the "God Trial" is a test and opportunity for the "World Origin" to select the God Reserve?"
"This test is held at varying intervals. It may be one or two years, or it may be twenty or thirty years?"
"And this time the "God Trial" will be held in just two days? And it will most likely be held in the "Northwest Region" and "Southwest Region"?"
"By then, dozens of seventh- and eighth-level evil gods will descend on the "Northwest Region", and they are likely to cause a catastrophe?"
Hearing Tang Feifei's words, the female dark soldier nodded slightly, and then said respectfully, "Yes. The guardian of Tang Town."
Tang Feifei was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Do you know the format of the trial?"
The dark soldier hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "The Lord didn't say that."
Tang Feifei didn't pay attention when she heard this, but continued to ask, "Can those who have not signed up participate and obtain the "god status"?"
The dark soldier said, "According to Her Majesty Zhao Ji's wishes, those who have not signed up cannot participate. Even if they meet the conditions of the trial and win the final victory by luck, they still will not get the "God Status"."
"Of course, those who have not signed up can choose to help those who have signed up. Or add obstacles for those who have signed up."
When Tang Feifei heard this, a look of deep thought suddenly appeared on her wheat-colored face, and then she asked, "What do Qiu Tu want us to do?"
The dark soldier said respectfully, "The Lord hopes that the four states will be prepared to shrink in advance."
"The entire "Northwest Region" is likely to experience a catastrophe. Survival at this time is the first priority."
"Everything else, whether it is territory or wealth, is false. Only by surviving this disaster can we achieve the final victory."
"Secondly, the Lord hopes that the four states will unite with the 8th Sanctuary to send professional and reliable intelligence personnel to join the anti-government armed forces or extremist sects."
"The first is to collect their movements and intelligence. The second is to investigate how many trialists have ended up now and what their strength is."
"Third, secretly investigate whether there are any unusual movements in the "Northwestern Region" and "Southwestern Region". For example, where are some strange phenomena born, where are there any strange changes, etc."
Hearing the words of the dark soldier, Tang Feifei nodded slightly. Having worked with Qiu Tu for many years, she was no stranger to these auxiliary tasks.
Moreover, now is not the time for her and Qiu Tu to fight alone in New Territories City. She is surrounded by Guan Xiao, Liu Xiongyuan, Dai Yukang and other masters.
With their help and the support of Sanctuary 8, many tasks can be carried out very quickly as long as they are arranged.
After going through everything in her mind, Tang Feifei looked at the dark soldier and said, "Okay. I understand."
"Does Qiu Tu have any other instructions?"
Hearing Tang Feifei's words, the dark soldier nodded. She looked at Tang Feifei and said respectfully, "In addition to what happened just now, the Lord also asked me to bring you a message."
Speaking of this, she looked at Tang Feifei and said word by word, "Be sure to pay attention to safety."
After hearing what the dark soldier said, Tang Feifei was stunned for a moment, and then a faint smile appeared on her wheat-colored face.
She arched her eyebrows slightly, and then said softly, "Don't worry Qiu Tu. I will definitely take care of myself."
Speaking of this, Tang Feifei paused for a moment, and then said, "In addition, please help me convey to him that he should also pay attention to safety."
"We'll wait for him to come home."
After hearing Tang Feifei's words, the female dark soldier bowed and then slowly sank into the darkness.
at the same time.
Southwest Region - Shelter 4.
Li Fengzheng was wearing a black armor, looking down at the dead soldier kneeling in front of him, and then said expressionlessly, "You mean, the evil gods coming recently are all caused by the "God Trial"
?”
After receiving the dead man's affirmative answer, Li Feng's face became solemn and his eyes narrowed slightly, full of sharpness and edge. "Then what does the mother think?"
"In other words, what do the people at the shelter think?"
The "shelter" Li Feng mentioned was obviously not the fourth shelter, but the second shelter.
She looked deeply at the dead man in front of her, and then asked, "Are mother or other kings ready to participate?"
Hearing Li Feng's words, the dead man lowered his head and said, "Lord Zhiyan. He did participate in this "God Trial"."
Hearing this, Li Feng couldn't help but show a hint of relaxation on his face.
As a result, she heard the dead man continue to say, "However, Master Zhiyan does not intend to participate in the competition for "the status of a god."
A question mark slowly appeared on Li Feng's head. Her mind was racing, and for a moment, she had an ominous premonition in her heart.
Sure enough, following her premonition, the dead man lowered his head and said, "After two meetings at the shelter, we believe that the strength of the three heavenly kings is not enough to win this "God Trial"."
"Then instead of fighting with other forces and wasting all your efforts, it's better to sell resources directly."
Li Feng's pupils shrank slightly.
The dead man raised his head and glanced at Li Feng, then said, "Those who dig for gold may not make any money, but those who sell shovels can definitely make a profit without losing money."
"So. The shelter finally reached cooperation with the "Kirikakukai"."
"There will be three people participating in the "Kigakure Club" this time. They are the president "Apocalypse" at the peak of the eighth level, the vice-president "Jin Yang" at the late eighth level, and the senior executive "White Clothes" at the mid-eighth level."
"Including Master Zhiyan, there are four eighth-level catastrophes in total. Among them is the eighth-level peak "Apocalypse" president. The success rate should still be very high."
Hearing what the dead man said, Li Fengjuemei's expression changed.
She frowned deeply, crossed her hips, and walked a few steps a little irritably. Then she raised her head and looked at the dead man and said, "Why are you cooperating with the Kirigakure Club again!"
"Have you forgotten that we were so miserable back then because of the Kirigakure Club?"
"How much did we spend back then to finally escape from their control? Why are we back now?"
"Have they forgotten that we came out of the "Kigakure Society" to break the earth and seal the territory! "Apocalypse" probably hates us a long time ago!"
"What on earth were they thinking?!"
Hearing Li Feng's scolding, the dead man lowered his head and said nothing.
The cold wind was howling outside, and the inside was grim. The whole atmosphere was extremely stagnant and cold.
After all, the topic back then was too heavy.
at the same time.
Core area - Sandu City - City Lord's Mansion.
Qiu Tu was also chatting with Qinglan about the events of the Second Sanctuary and the "Kirigakure".
Maybe after deciding to cooperate with Qiu Tu, Qing Lan lost her airs and acted more casually.
She sat on the main seat, looked at Qiu Tu beside her, and then asked, "Does Chairman Qiu know the relationships and political structure of so many organizations in the "Core Area - Kingdom of the West"?"
Qiu Tu actually heard some relevant information from Yudie. But after all, Yudie's intelligence system has just been developed, and it is far behind Qinglan. So Qiu Tu also wants to hear Qinglan explain the layout of the "core area"
.
With this in mind, Qiu Tu sat there, shook his head slightly, and said, "I understand a little bit, but it's not comprehensive. I would like to ask His Highness Qinglan to explain it."
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Qing Lan glanced at Qiu Tu with her clear eyes, and then said, "I have actually read a lot of books about your human world."
"If we want to make an analogy, then the political system of the "Western Kingdom" is actually somewhat similar to the feudal system in your world. But it is much more cruel and strict."
Seeing a trace of doubt on Qiu Tu's face, she explained, "The four great god kings divided the entire "core area" and each of them occupies a piece. Therefore, the four areas and the four kingdoms are forbidden by the god kings themselves."
"The "Kingdom of the West" belongs to the "Western God King" both in name and in reality."
"Strictly speaking, the major organizations under the "Western God King" are just officials who help him manage the place on his behalf."
"So, regardless of taxes, minerals, and disaster materials, 70% must be handed over to the "Western God King"."
When Qiu Tu heard this, he frowned slightly.
Qing Lan was keenly aware of Qiu Tu's strangeness, and then explained, "Do you also think it's too high?"
"But. In the extraordinary world, strength is respected. The God King is always the best among the gods. The great cataclysm that year caused the death of most of the gods. There are not even many who can compete with the God King."
"This leads to the fact that in the current "core area", under the God King, the strongest person is only the eighth level peak, not even a god."
"The 'God King' can wipe out all the major organizations by himself. How can the major organizations have any room for bargaining?"
"It's so generous of the God King to just hand over 70% of the resources."
Speaking of this, Qinglan paused, "And you may have some fifth-level knowledge about the nature of the "core area"."
"I'd better give you an example to explain it more clearly."
After saying that, Qinglan stretched out her hand, pointed at her feet, and then asked, "Where is this place?"
Qiu Tu didn't expect Qing Lan to ask this question. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then said, "The City Lord's Mansion."
Qinglan asked, "Where is the city lord's mansion?"
Qiu Tu glanced at her strangely, "The City Lord's Mansion in Sandu City."
Qinglan asked again, "Where do the three capital cities belong?"
This work is uploaded by the organizer~~
Qiu Tu looked at Qinglan with a strange expression, and then said, "Of course it belongs to your Qinglan Divine Realm."
Hearing this, Qing Lan nodded first, and then shook her head. She blinked strangely, and then said meaningfully, "That's right. The three capital cities do belong to Qing Lan's divine domain."
"But. It also belongs to the "Apocalypse" divine domain."
"It belongs to the divine domain of the "Western God King"."
These three sentences seemed a bit contradictory and strange, which made Qiu Tu stunned.
His mind was racing. For a moment, his pupils shrank slightly and a shocked expression appeared on his face because he thought of a very terrifying possibility.
He looked at Qinglan. The girl's eyes were like two clear springs, crystal clear and full of agility.
But Qiu Tu didn't care about this at all. He said, "You mean that the entire "Kingdom of the West" is actually the divine domain of the "Western God King"?"
"And based on his own divine domain, he asked the president of the Kirigakure Society, "Apocalypse", to spread out his own divine domain and superimpose it on top."
"And you added your own divine realm to the divine realms of the "Western God King" and "Apocalypse"?"
"In this way, a total of three layers of divine realms are nested?"
Qinglan's palm-sized face showed a trace of satisfaction.
She smiled and nodded, "That's it."
She said, "You are also a seventh-level catastrophe. You should have discovered that all areas are actually divided into levels, right?"
"Although all areas are equal in a strict sense and belong to this world, there are actually three, six, and nine levels."
"For example, in our low-level areas, because the energy level is too low, catastrophic creatures cannot be born, real natural phenomena cannot be formed, and the concentration of catastrophic power is not enough."
"So it's difficult to have a big impact."
"But the God Kings are different. The regional energy level they possess is high enough. Not only can they give birth to catastrophic creatures, but the concentration of catastrophic power is also very high."
"This will make it easier for his divine domain to produce high-level catastrophic materials, and also make it easier for the catastrophic creatures living in his divine domain to improve their strength."
"Of course, no one would think that the energy level of their own divine realm is low."
Hearing this, Qiu Tu followed the words and said, "So. After the God King spread his divine domain across the entire country and formed the first level of divine domain. In order to facilitate management and to continue to improve the "energy level" of the world, he expanded his divine domain to
Divided into various "small areas" of various sizes and distributed to various major forces?"
Qinglan nodded slightly in response, and said, "Generally speaking, only the peak eighth level or a small number of power leaders at the late eighth level can be assigned to these "small areas."
"After these leaders of forces obtain the "area", they will slowly expand their own divine domain and overlap with the divine king's divine domain."
"Afterwards, they will further entrust the two-layered divine realms they control to the upper echelons of the early eighth level or the peak seventh level of the power. Let them superimpose the divine realms again, forming a three-layer nesting from then on."
Speaking of this, Qing Lan paused for a moment and then explained, "Actually, when you come to me, I will continue to entrust them to some of my seventh-level and sixth-level confidants, forming a maximum of four levels of nesting."
"In this way, the energy levels of the region are superimposed in multiple layers, which can bring the ability of the entire region to an extreme."
"The higher the energy level of the area, the faster the birth and cultivation speed of the catastrophic creatures will be. There will be more catastrophic materials."
"The four major countries developed step by step, which finally formed the current power structure of the "core area"."
Speaking of this, Qinglan pointed to the "Sandu City" under her feet, and then said,
"Don't look at it now that "Sandu City" is in my divine domain and is under my management. But in fact, before me, there were two senior officials of the "Kirigakure" alone who managed this city."
"And the current area of ​​the "Kirigakure Society" was also managed by other forces in the past."
"The God King has never changed in these hundreds of years. But the people below have changed one after another."
Hearing this, Qiu Tu nodded slightly while thinking.
After a moment, he commented, "So. This is also the reason why although you are an eighth-level evil god and manage so many cities, you have very few cultivation resources."
Qinglan nodded, "Yes. Because. I am just expanding the divine domain to protect these nine states for the "Western God King" and the "Kigakure Society"."
"Everything in these nine states still belongs to the "West God King" and the "Kirigakure Society".
"So whether it's taxes or disaster materials, the "Kirigakure" will send special personnel to collect them."
"After all is collected, they will first hand over 70% to the "West God King" regularly, and then keep another 2.40% for themselves. Finally, they will leave about 0.60% for me. Count it as my construction funds and remuneration."
"But even so, they will deduct or delay my resources from time to time."
Listening to Qinglan's words, Qiu Tu didn't know why, but a "famous saying" came into his mind: 70%? 70% belongs to others!
Good guy, not only 70% of this belongs to other people, but 94% of it belongs to other people!
Qinglan worked hard to build and protect her own divine domain, but she could only get 6%. And this 6% had to be used for construction
Hmm. Hearing that I am a fraudster makes me cry. It’s so dark.
Thinking like this, Qiu Tu suddenly remembered the 2nd Sanctuary. He raised his head, looked at Qinglan and said, "By the way, you just said that the 2nd Sanctuary was actually part of the "Kigakure Society"?"
"What's going on?"
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Qing Lan gave Qiu Tu a strange look, and then said, "Don't you know that when the two worlds merged, a piece of the world was integrated into the "core area"?"
Qiu Tu blinked and said, "I know. I also know that there are many humans living in that world. It is also the predecessor of the Second Sanctuary."
Qinglan nodded slightly, and then explained, "Yes. Your human world is embedded in the "Western Kingdom". And most of the areas are bordered by the "Kirigakure Society"."
"And the group of humans from the second shelter went directly to the territory of the Kirigakure Society."
"At that time, the leader of the 2nd Sanctuary saw that the situation was not good and took refuge in the Kirigakure Society. He gained the trust of the Kirigakure Society."
"And several of the outstanding ones have also been trained by the Kirigakure Club."
"At that time, the "Kirigakure" also planned to assimilate your group of compatriots first, and then wait for the "isolation mountain range to collapse" and the two areas to merge, and then naturally swallow up the entire human power and strengthen itself."
"That is, let humans become part of the "Kirigakure"."
"This is a normal process for various forces to annex the new world."
Speaking of this, Qinglan paused and then said, "The result. Who knows, you humans are really cunning."
"After gaining the trust of the old man "Apocalypse", I developed in a low-key manner. After advancing to the eighth level, I turned around and went to find the "Western God King". I wanted to become independent."
"I don't know what you did, but the "West God King" agreed to your human request."
"So, you humans successfully split the land and sealed the territory, snatched away 20 states from the "Kirigakure Society", and established the second sanctuary."
When Qiu Tu heard this, his eyes moved slightly.
He had indeed heard about what Qing Lan said before. And he also knew the specific reason why humans could become independent: nuclear weapons. (Chapter 621)
It is estimated that the 2nd Sanctuary demonstrated the power of nuclear weapons to the God King.
Although with the strength of the God King, nuclear weapons should not be able to harm him. But it can harm the seventh-level evil god and fight against other forces, which is enough to arouse the interest of the God King.
Therefore, the 2nd Sanctuary can become independent from the "Kirigakure Society".
In this way, the Second Sanctuary can be considered as having completely broken up with the "Kirigakure Kai". This is probably an important reason why the "Kirigakure Kai" has been targeting humans in various ways over the years.
However, Qiu Tu actually doesn't care about the feud between the Second Sanctuary and the "Kirikakukai".
He cares about another thing
Split the soil and seal the territory?
Is this the "correct promotion route" for the "core area"?
First, rely on an evil god organization to gain "territory", and then gain the approval of the God King, split the land and seal the territory, and go out independently!
And Qiu Tu is still a person who likes to draw inferences from one instance to another.
This is true when facing the evil god organization. Then, is it okay to face the god king?
First pretend to be attached to the God King, and wait until the strength is enough. For example, Zhao Ji becomes a god. Then split the land and seal the territory, directly and completely split the "Kingdom of the West", establish a new country, and have its own territory in the "core area"!
He suddenly seemed to have found the next promotion path in his "political" path!
However, the premise of all this is to win the "God Trial" and obtain the "God Status"!
Thinking like this, Qiu Tu's eyes couldn't help but become more determined!
Just like that, time flew by and two days passed.
Soon, the day came when the "Trial of the Gods" started, hundreds of gods descended, and Qiu Tu returned to the "edge area"——
Asking for a monthly ticket.
Chapter completed!
