Chapter 641: Peak of the Seventh Stage! (Seeking monthly votes)
"One car, two cars, three cars."

One after another, transport trucks loaded with disaster materials of various levels drove neatly into the "Northwest Shelter - Hub", and the main road was covered in dust.

The bald elder brother, the pink-haired female pirate Mera, and the twins Sindo were hiding in the dust beside the main road, silently counting the number of transport vehicles.
"Four Cars. Five Cars"

Just like that, as one car after another disappeared at the entrance of the Central City, Mela looked at the bald elder brother beside her, and then said with some emotion, "It's only been a short time. Qiu Tu already has so many disaster resources."

"Is human mobilization so strong?"

After hearing her words, the bald elder brother hadn't spoken yet, but the twin Xinduo spoke first.

They all looked at Mela in unison but slowly, their eyes unfocused, and said mechanically, "According to intelligence, humans are very adaptable. Although they love to fight among themselves, once faced with a disaster that could wipe out their race, they will unite again."

"And their organizational and mobilization capabilities are indeed very strong. This may be related to their advanced political system."

"That's why I agreed to the boss' plan."

At this point, Xinduo paused, then commented, "If we want to collect ordinary disaster materials from a large "marginal area", it may take a huge amount of time and energy."

"But for them, not only did they consciously collect resources in advance before, but because the political system is more advanced, they can now mobilize layer by layer, all the way to the grassroots level of the city, allowing hundreds of millions of ordinary people to participate and collect together."

"This power is extremely terrifying."

"That's why I am sure that Qiu Tu can implement the plan, and we can also take advantage of the situation."

Hearing what Sindo said, Meera nodded slightly.

Today she was wearing a short T-shirt and hot pants, revealing her slender and healthy waist. She touched the short knife on her waist, her honey-colored face full of excitement, "So, when are we going to start?"

Hearing her words, Xin Duo analyzed silently for a moment, and then said neatly, "There's no hurry yet."

"If Qiu Tu wants to break through to the eighth level, the most important thing is to improve the "energy level" of the area he controls."

"To increase the "regional energy level", it is not necessary to destroy the disaster materials. You only need to place the "disaster materials" in the "control area". "

"So, in the process of improving his own strength, he will not consume our resources."

At this point, Xin Duo paused, and then the two said in unison, "On the contrary, the more time we give him, the more supplies he will collect in theory."

"For us, he is like a safe deposit box that automatically recharges. He always helps us store the supplies we need."

"When the time is right, we can kill him and directly take out the resources stored inside."

After hearing what Sindo said, the pink-haired female pirate "Mera" hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly, agreeing with Sindo's words.

However, after nodding, a serious expression appeared on her face. She slowly opened her mouth to remind him,

"However, we must grasp the right degree. After all, Qiu Tu's real combat ability is not weak. If we continue to give him time, he may really grow up quickly."

Xin Duo's eyes flickered slightly when he heard this, and then he said without any expression, "I have thought about this."

"His actual combat capability is indeed quite good. In his historical records, he has fought against one or two smaller levels."

"So, I think the eighth level is a threshold."

"Below the eighth level, he will be at our mercy. Above the eighth level, there will be a lot more danger."

"So, we must take him down before he reaches the eighth level, or just after he reaches the eighth level."

"This way the risks can be minimized."

After hearing what Xinduo said, the bald old man touched his head which was covered with runes.

As he stroked it, the rune on his head strangely lit up with a deep blue light. The blue light reflected on his face, adding a bit of ruthlessness to him.

He looked at Xinduo, and then asked fiercely, "So, how do we know when he will advance to the eighth level?"

Xin Duo was obviously the think tank of the team. Hearing this, he began to explain,

"A prerequisite for advancing to the eighth level is to control 81 areas. And raise the "energy level" of these 81 areas to level two."

"Such a huge project cannot be kept secret."

"So, we can start from these two points. Otherwise, we can investigate the number of 'Boundless Heart Sea Areas' he has stolen."

"Or else, wait in an area controlled by him and determine the concentration of the 'Force of Catastrophic Change' there."

"As long as there is one area that does not exceed level 2, it means everything is under control."

"After that, we can pay attention to the speed at which he collects resources."

"As long as we find that his speed of plundering resources has significantly decreased within a controllable range, we can take action."

"Because this means that he has already collected all the resources that can be collected in large quantities in a short period of time."

"As for the remaining small amount of resources, I think it is dispensable."

"Before the catastrophe, didn't humans have a famous saying: Don't make the last penny."

"We don't need to squeeze him dry. It's enough as long as we can get most of his profits."

At this point, Xin Duo paused for a moment, then continued, "According to normal estimates, for a seventh-level peak evil god to refine 63 areas, even if everything goes well, it should take about 10 days."

"So, let's wait another seven or eight days, and then we can probably start."

After listening to Xinduo's analysis, the bald man grinned twice and agreed, "Okay. I think we can do this."

"Anyway, we need to bide our time and keep a low profile to investigate other 'candidates for the gods', so we can have our men observe Qiu Tu's progress and give us feedback in real time."

Hearing what Xinduo and the bald man said, a hint of hesitation flashed in Meila's eyes.

She instinctively felt that something was wrong.

It’s not that she found any loopholes, but she always remembered that Qiu Tu was known for his quick wit and scheming.

Would such a person be so easily calculated by his own side? Even swallowed up with his people and resources?
She always felt it was unlikely.

Although she carefully examined the plan and found no problems, she thought that this was precisely the biggest problem.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but want to remind him again.

As a result, before she could say anything, the bald boss waved his hand and said, "Okay, it's settled!"

"Let's retreat. Let's have the people down here keep an eye on us."

After all, Baldy was the boss among the three people, so when she saw Baldy's decision, Mela opened her mouth several times but ultimately said nothing.

So, she looked back at the "Central City" in the night. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that the "Central City" was like a giant beast entrenched in the darkness, standing tall and looking for people to devour. It looked so scary and so gloomy.
Turning back, her honey-colored face was filled with solemnity. After a moment, she dodged and followed her accomplices out of the "Central City".
In addition to the forces of Meila, other forces that descended on the "Northwest Region" also began to pay attention to the movements of Qiu Tu and the "Northwest Region" that night.

When they saw the transport trucks loaded with disaster materials being transported from the three major shelters to the "Central City", some of them were surprised, some were envious, and some were tempted.

For a time, the entire "Northwest Region" was in turmoil.
Meanwhile, in the disaster zone outside Sanctuary 8, in Fortress City.

King Zhiyan was in the conference room a few days ago, arguing with Bai Yi and Jin Ni.

King Zhiyan changed his usual cooperative attitude, raised his eyebrows coldly, stared at the two people, and said, "This is the condition given by Qiu Tu."

"He has now become the 'King of the Northwest' and is only one step away from the eighth level. The president of 'Apocalypse' is still on the way and the transaction has not officially started yet."

"So, he wants to use this time to improve his strength."

“I think there’s nothing wrong with that.”

"As an important partner of ours, it is reasonable for him to ask us to protect him and get rid of the scoundrels at this critical moment."

"It is precisely because I think all of this is feasible that I came here to discuss it with you."

Hearing what Heavenly King Zhiyan said, Jin Ni's two round eyes widened, and he looked at Heavenly King Zhiyan in disbelief, and then said, "Zhiyan, are you confused?"

"The president hasn't come yet, but we can't act on our own! After all, no one knows what the president thinks or how he arranges things."

"What if he doesn't like Qiu Tu's growing strength, or he doesn't want to be exposed and become the target of public criticism during this sensitive period? What should we do?"

"If we rashly help Qiu Tu without his order, we may be coerced by Qiu Tu and then go into formal war with other forces."

"If the president comes and doesn't want to start a war, then we will have ruined the president's plan and we will all be sinners of the Kirigakure and the Second Sanctuary!"

Hearing Jin Ni's words, Heavenly King Zhiyan's expression froze for a moment, as if he had embarrassed you.

But she did not give up. Instead, she said, "In this case, why not contact the president directly and ask for his opinion?"

"Besides, starting a war would ruin the president's plans. Have you ever considered that maybe not starting a war would ruin the president's plans?"

At this point, Heavenly King Zhiyan paused, then explained, "The reason I came back to talk to you this time is because I discovered Qiu Tu's determination."

"He was clearly ready to force his way through."

"Even if we don't help, he will force his way through."

“And if other forces are attracted at that time, causing him to fail in the promotion or even die, and we cannot control the entire "Northwest Region", then we will be the real sinners of the "Mist Hidden Society" and the Second Shelter, and we will really ruin the plans of the president of "Apocalypse". " Hearing Zhiyan's alarmist words, Jin Ni and Bai Yi couldn't help but look at each other, and then had a brief exchange.

Jin Ni was obviously unwilling to agree to this, but he couldn't argue with King Zhiyan, so he threw a look at Bai Yi.

Bai Yi, who got the hint from Jin Ni's eyes, did not play dumb. He picked up the tea beside him and took a sip, buying himself some time. Then he smiled and said, "What Heavenly King Zhiyan said is a bit extreme."

"The Northwest Region is indeed very important. But we can't let Qiu Tu go."

He said, "Qiu Tu is just a small seventh-level Cataclysm. Even if his Cataclysm Path is a little special, it will be difficult for him to advance to the eighth level."

"After all, refining the 'Boundless Heart Sea Region' and improving the 'regional energy level' are not simple matters."

"He believes that he can advance in a short time with the support of unlimited resources in the Northwest Region. But we have all been promoted to the eighth level and know how difficult and time-consuming it is."

"So, he was almost daydreaming. There was no drama at all."

At this point, Bai Yi paused and continued, "Also, although I can't contact the president, I have been sensing his distance these past two days, and he is indeed heading towards the 'Northwest Region'."

"Although his progress is a bit slow, according to the estimated speed, he will reach the Northwest Territories in a week at most."

"Then when the president comes, it's time to fulfill the promise. Should we let Qiu Tu continue to advance and let the president wait for him? Or should we let him advance halfway, stop, and start the transaction?"

Having said this, Bai Yi paused again, then he put the tea in his hand on the table beside him and said,
"Besides, even if we agree, will Qiu Tu dare to believe us?"

"Don't forget, we have always been in a hostile relationship with him. This is the first time we are working together."

"If we don't work hard and encounter some weaker enemies, we can just scare them away with a few threats."

"If you encounter some powerful enemies, just leave."

"When he dies, can he still seek revenge from us?"

"So, our protection is of no use at all. It's just a psychological comfort at best."

"And if he is lucky enough to not have any strong enemies attack him, he can't possibly not pay any price or cost for us to protect him, right?"

"It's of almost no benefit to him."

"Besides, what's the point of him advancing to the eighth level? There is a huge difference between the strength of the early eighth level and the peak eighth level."

"With his strength, it is still difficult for him to participate in the "God Trial"."

When Zhiyan heard Bai Yi's words, she frowned at first, but the more she listened, the weirder it seemed to her.

At first glance, Bai Yi's words seemed to be rejecting Qiu Tu and Zhi Yan's proposal. But after a closer look, it seemed
At this moment, Jin Ni suddenly spoke, "Wait a moment."

He raised his hand to interrupt the man in white, then turned his big round eyes around twice, as if he was thinking about something.

After a moment, a smile appeared on his face, and then he became solemn.

He looked at Bai Yi and said, "Bai Yi, how can you say such a thing!"

"Qiu Tu and I are partners. Since we want to protect him, we must do our best to protect him!"

At this point, he changed the subject and said, "But... this matter is indeed a bit troublesome."

As he spoke, he waved to Bai Yi and said, "I think it's best for the two of us to go and discuss this."

After saying that, he looked at Zhiyan and asked, "King Zhiyan, you should not mind if we discuss this in private first, right?"

Hearing Jin Ni's words, Zhiyan nodded with a strange look on her face.

Jin Ni obviously had some idea in mind, so when he saw Zhi Yan agreed, he immediately waved to Bai Yi, and then strode towards the back of the conference room.
As they left, King Zhiyan finally figured out what was wrong with him.
If you carefully read Bai Yi's conversation just now, it seems that he is talking about how to be "sneaky", but if you carefully read his purpose, you will find that he seems to be deliberately "luring" Jin Ni.

After all, he helped Jin Ni point out some key information in the analysis just now.

1. Qiu Tu is still very far away from level 8. It is too late.

2. Qiu Tu is weak. Even if he advances, he is still weak.

3. Qiu Tu has now unified the "Northwest Region" and is plundering disaster materials on a large scale. He has money and can afford to pay the rewards!

4. And the most important thing. The Kirigakure can send someone to guard, but that person can also escape at any time.

This perfectly solves the problem that protecting Qiu Tu only has risks but no benefits.

Combined with points 3 and 4. The Kirigakure only needs to send one person to deal with it, and after the task is completed, they will be given a large amount of disaster materials.

And if the plan fails, the Kirigakure can just run away without any loss. It's perfect.

So, when Bai Yi finished talking about this plan, Jin Ni, who was originally not interested, was obviously moved.

This was probably the reason why he pulled Bai Yi into the house to have a detailed chat.

However, because of this, Zhiyan couldn't understand Bai Yi's position for a while.
Bai Yi wanted the Wuyin Society to help Qiu Tu? Then why did he teach Jin Ni this "perfect plan to pass the buck and take advantage"?

If Bai Yi didn't want the Wuyin Society to help Qiu Tu, then why did he lure Jin Ni?
Just like that, while Zhiyan was still confused, Jin Ni and Bai Yi came out of the house.
His face was filled with a smug smile. He looked at Zhiyan and said with a smile, "King Zhiyan has been waiting for a long time. We have made a decision."

And at the same time.

Fengqi Prefecture-Ning'an City.

Qiu Tu's aura continued to rise, directly reaching the peak of the seventh level!

This was the promotion he received after he was promoted to "King of the Northwest" and regained his political status in the human camp.

This finally allowed him to complete the first prerequisite for becoming an 8th-level Cataclysm: reaching the peak of th level.

Therefore, Qiu Tu is now trying to achieve the second condition: refining 2 areas!

At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged on a hillside, refining the regional center of the "Peace Area".

The core of the "Tranquility Zone" is very special, it is a breeze, colorless, odorless, invisible, and can even float around.

If it weren't for the "Lord of the Region" giving it away, almost no one would be able to discover it.

At Qiu Tu's feet, there lay quietly, with his eyes open, looking up at the sky, a look of unwillingness on his face, and the lord of the region, who was gradually crystallizing.

Apparently, just now, Qiu Tu had a friendly exchange with him. He was so moved that he told Qiu Tu the location of the "regional center". He also took the initiative to transform himself into the "Boundless Divine Crystal" and gave it to Qiu Tu to help him improve his strength.

Qiu Tu’s strength is already strong, and his catastrophe level is also high, so he can refine ordinary areas much faster.

What's more, Qiu Tu also cheated. His third golden finger "get something for nothing" is good at doing some repetitive work.

Therefore, Qiu Tu's efficiency was extremely high, and his refining speed was extremely fast. It took only about half an hour for him to completely refine the center of the area, and the entire area became his.

Qiu Tu slowly opened his eyes and glanced at the time. He had an estimate in his mind that he would be promoted to the eighth level.

'If everything goes well, it should only take 4-5 days.'

With this in mind, Qiu Tu returned to reality and threw truckloads of disaster materials directly into the "peaceful area".

Visibly, the power of catastrophe in the "peaceful area" began to grow stronger.
After throwing all the disaster materials and disaster treasures prepared in "An Ning City" into the "An Ning Area", Qiu Tu glanced to the east and began to fly to the east.

That was the third area he was going to refine this time.
Over the next three days, most of the attention of the 21 "candidates for God" in the "Northwest Region" was focused on the various "Boundless Heart Sea Areas" in the Northwest Region.

After all, just as the twin brother "Xin Duo" analyzed: If Qiu Tu wants to be promoted to the eighth level, he must refine and pry away the "Boundless Heart Sea Area".

Therefore, as long as you pay attention to the number of "Boundless Heart Sea Areas" that have been pried away, you can know the progress of Qiu Tu's strength.

What was somewhat unexpected to everyone was that Qiu Tu's strength improved extremely quickly.

In three days, 46 areas had been refined.

The speed of refining is almost like picking it up for free.

This made most of the "God candidates" a little confused.

There are only three ways to refine an area: the area lord abdicates, refines the area center, and refines by force.

The time consumed by the three methods increases in sequence.

Generally speaking, the evil god refining area can only use the last one. This is also the reason why their efficiency is extremely low.

As a result, when it came to Qiu Tu's hands, the time was shortened by nearly half, which was really shocking.

Moreover, because Qiu Tu acted so quickly, all the collected materials were stored nearby in the city where Qiu Tu was going to refine them.

Therefore, Qiu Tu almost went to the refining area as soon as he arrived. After refining, he threw the disaster materials and disaster artifacts looted by his men into the refining area and continued to the next one.

This also made his strength grow rapidly, and he had already quickly moved from the peak of the seventh level to the eighth level.
