Let them offer their loyalty!-Chapter 1608 - 669: Shocked Factions

Her slender fingers gently brushed across her collarbone, then lazily rested beside her cheek, tapping lightly on her delicate skin as her eyes flickered.

'Qiu Tu....Zhao Ji....interesting.'

'If there's time, I really ought to find an opportunity to reach out....'

'Provided....they survive the wrath of the "East God King".'

Thinking this, the smile on her face grew more intense, especially having a sense of enjoying the spectacle.

'Kabane was the most loyal dog to the "East God King".'

'Now that the dog is dead, how could the dog's master sit idly by? Hehehe~~'

.....

The various forces involved in the Heavenly God Trial, have always been incredibly well-informed.

Shortly after Tian Qi and Doris learned the inside story of Kabane's death, nearly all forces were aware of the incident.

There were those who were shocked, terrified, wary, and some who rejoiced at another's misfortune.

But, most forces shared Doris's perspective, believing that the matter would not end with Kabane's death.

On the contrary....it is precisely because Kabane is dead that this matter has truly become irreparable. If the "Divine King" were to intervene, the whole situation would become uncontrollable.

This made many forces consider Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji's attack unwise.

After all....the risks of this attack clearly outweighed the benefits. Initially, relying on their combined strength and terrifying potential, the two might have finished in the top 5, even top 3, of the "Heavenly God Trial".

But as of now....it's uncertain if either of them can survive the "Heavenly God Trial"....

....

Meanwhile, amidst the chaos outside.

Qiu Tu tidied up the battlefield, collected the corpses of Kabane and other high-ranking members of the "Temple of Gods", then supported Zhao Ji back to the "Southeast Region".

Crossing the "Isolation Mountains", they found a clearing, where Qiu Tu first helped Zhao Ji to sit down, then said, "Sister Zhaoji, this time killing Kabane could attract the attention of the "Divine King"."

"You may need to hide for a while."

At this moment, Zhao Ji's complexion was poor, as pale as paper, clearly suffering from severe backlash.

Yet despite this, she sat upright on the stone, speaking coldly,

"I had intended to go into retreat anyway."

She raised her hand, revealing a crystalline stone in her palm, and said, "After all, I've achieved my goal."

"Kabane, as an eighth-rank peak deity, is just a step away from ascending to 'Heavenly God', and his soul had refined a total of 365 pieces of the 'Boundless Heart Sea Region'."

"Although most have been stacked atop the 'East God King's' domain to control the land of the 'Eastern Kingdom',"

"there remains a small portion unmanifested, still retained within his soul."

"This portion of the 'Boundless Heart Sea Region', combined with what the 'Tree Ancestor' left, is enough for me to effortlessly cultivate to the 'eighth-rank peak'."

At this, Zhao Ji glanced at Qiu Tu before continuing, "As for the remaining territories of the eighth-rank deities, they are for you to handle."

"If you piece them together, they should barely allow you to ascend to the 'eighth-rank peak'."

Hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu nodded slightly.

From a certain standpoint, one of his main reasons for agreeing to Zhao Ji's risky plan was....the immense benefits.

Before this attack, the upper limit of Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji had been firmly locked by various forces.

To advance from eighth rank to eighth-rank peak, 365 pieces of 'Boundless Heart Sea Region' were necessary. And the 'Boundless Heart Sea Region' was considered the most crucial strategic resource, limited in number, and not casually produced.

So.....seizing territories from other Evil Gods became the only way for Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji to break through.

And as things stand now, they have at least perfectly achieved their goal.

The fall of seven eighth-rank Great Evil Gods has provided Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji with ample 'Boundless Heart Sea Region'.

Now, they are ready in every aspect, except for that easterly wind. As long as time allows, Zhao Ji can refine her domain, and the entire plan will take full effect.

The only question is....will they have the time?

With this in mind, Qiu Tu glanced at Zhao Ji and hesitated before asking, "Sister Zhaoji, how long will it take you to refine these 'Boundless Heart Sea Regions' and ascend to the eighth-rank peak?"

At this moment, Zhao Ji was sitting cross-legged on the stone, hastily recovering from her injuries.

She kept her eyes closed, replying coolly, "Short as 10 days, long as 20 days."

She paused and added, "After all, I need to recover my injuries first."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu's gaze flickered. He calculated in his heart, then asked, "If....I mean, if. I could help heal your injuries?"

Zhao Ji suddenly opened her eyes, her fine gaze fixed on Qiu Tu, eyebrows slightly furrowed as she asked, "You can heal my injuries?"

Qiu Tu replied, "Not totally sure. I can only try."

Hearing this, Zhao Ji showed a thoughtful expression.

After a moment, she said, "If there were no need to recover from injuries, then short as 7 days, long as half a month, I could refine all regions and return to the eighth-rank peak realm."

Her cool gaze brimmed with pride, "And once I restore myself to the eighth-rank peak, I will surely obtain the 'Heavenly God positional frame'."
