Let them offer their loyalty!-Chapter 1594 - 664: The 2nd Sanctuary’s Grand Strategy (3)

Qiu Tu nodded lightly. During this period, Qiu Tu also learned the secret behind the founding of the Second Sanctuary from Qing Lan.

Back then, the reason why humanity was able to break away from the "Fog Hidden Association" and establish the Second Sanctuary was solely because of the West God King’s support. (Chapter 647)

Therefore, this also proves that there were definitely high-level humans who knew the West God King, perhaps even had a close relationship.

As expected, Li Feng said, "That’s because back then, when my mother was enduring humiliation to carry out missions within the Fog Hidden Association, she accidentally met an incarnation of the West God King wandering among mortals."

"At the time, she keenly sensed the extraordinariness of the West God King’s avatar, so she went out of her way to make friends with him, even spending all her remaining pieces of ’Boundless God Crystal’ on the West God King."

"The West God King appreciated my mother immensely, so before leaving, he asked about my mother’s wish."

"My mother wished for a land of freedom for humanity."

"After that, the West God King supported humanity and split the Fog Hidden Association."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu’s gaze became thoughtful, as if something had occurred to him...

At this moment, Li Feng also paused, then continued, "Of course, this is the story my mother and the other heavenly kings told."

"But in my eyes... how could a mere friendship make a God King go so far?"

"Besides, as a God King, how could he act on a whim?"

"So, I’m more inclined to believe... this was a setup from the start."

"A setup?" Qiu Tu murmured pensively.

Li Feng, her bare body wrapped in Qiu Tu’s coat, leaned against him and said, "Yes."

"I think... the West God King was probably already dissatisfied with Tian Qi and the Fog Hidden Association. He didn’t want the Fog Hidden Association to keep growing, so he sent an avatar to deliberately befriend my mother."

"Then... while interacting with my mother, he was most likely constantly testing her attitude, trying to understand humanity’s stance."

"Once he was sure humanity was usable, he took the initiative to help them. This way he gained humanity’s gratitude and loyalty while suppressing the Fog Hidden Association—killing two birds with one stone."

At this point, Li Feng paused again, then said, "And this time... the reason my mother and the others cooperated with the Fog Hidden Association was probably also under his orders."

"He definitely doesn’t want a second Heavenly God to appear in the Western Kingdom, but he can’t control Tian Qi in the Heavenly God Trial, so he arranged for my mother to infiltrate the Fog Hidden Association and try to stop Tian Qi from obtaining the Heavenly God’s positional frame."

Hearing Li Feng’s analysis, Qiu Tu nodded slightly. Li Feng’s deduction was a bit rough, but quite logical.

If Li Feng’s conjecture was correct, then the Second Sanctuary really was walking a tightrope and acting as the West God King’s tool.

In this situation, a single misstep could lead to a complete collapse of the Human Camp.

So Li Feng’s choice to place her bet on herself rather than follow her mother made sense for safety’s sake.

Moreover, no matter if Li Feng’s speculation was true or not, as long as their allegiance to Qiu Tu was real, Qiu Tu could only gain and not lose.

During the great catastrophe, one’s compatriots are the most crucial resource and support. For instance, this Heavenly God Trial’s ranking already takes the population metric into account.

If Qiu Tu could truly take in both the Third and Fourth Sanctuaries, the overall ranking would soar rapidly.

With this in mind, there was only one remaining question: how to relocate the hundreds of millions of people from the Third and Fourth Sanctuaries. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

And so... Qiu Tu heard from Li Feng about the Special Treasure called "Shifting Moon."

Upon learning that "Shifting Moon" could, at a certain cost, transfer massive numbers of people—even across the world’s barriers and the Isolation Mountains—Qiu Tu was genuinely shocked.

He then recalled the other Special Treasure in his own possession: the Two Realm Mirror.

After a quick comparison of the two Special Treasures’ functions and effects, a suspicion began to form in Qiu Tu’s mind:

Could it be... that the reason these are called "Special Treasures," and so highly valued by the World Origin, is because they have strategic value in affecting worlds across barriers?

Unfortunately, with only two Cataclysmic treasures in hand, it was still difficult to find a pattern, so Qiu Tu could only set this theory aside for now.

But now, since every part of the plan was settled, Qiu Tu had nothing left to hesitate about.

He gently patted Li Feng on the head and said, "I’m willing to accept you all into the Northwest Sanctuary."

Then Qiu Tu added, "Moreover, I happen to have a place where you can be settled."

Li Feng, wrapped in Qiu Tu’s coat, her body hazy and tempting yet utterly unconcerned, thought for a moment before tentatively asking, "Is it the Disaster Zone?"

Qiu Tu nodded with distant eyes, "Yes. During this time, Chairman Tang has been sweeping through the Disaster Zones of the entire Northwestern Region."

"That’s a vast area no smaller than the Third Sanctuary. It’s enough to take in the people from the Third and Fourth Sanctuaries."
