Then let them show their loyalty!

Chapter 811 No skill whatsoever, pure cheating (Seeking monthly votes)
Thinking this, all the gods and god-kings present couldn't help but look at Qiu Tu, and then at Sheng Yue, the god-king who was holding the "investigation authorization".

They are certainly not the kind of people who would believe whatever Qiu Tu says.

However, Qiu Tu had applied for an "investigation authorization" from Elena, and this "investigation authorization" is still in the hands of the God King Sheng Yue.

Therefore, whether Qiu Tu is making things up or it is true, we only need to look at the reaction of the Divine King of Shengyue to find out.

Meanwhile, as the gods were thinking this, the God-King Shengyue was also quickly reading through the "Investigation Authorization" in his hand.

As a veteran god-king, he was naturally familiar with the "official documents" inside the "temple" and had a complete set of identification methods.

Therefore, once he had the "authorization" in his hands, he confirmed its authenticity in just one second.

So he looked at the contents of the document again.

It was exactly as Qiu Tu had said: it clearly stated that Elena, as the guardian god-king, authorized Qiu Tu to investigate more than a dozen gods, including Sheng Yue and Qiu Feng.

Moreover, in addition to them, it also records another god-king and two celestial gods.

His gaze lingered on the names of the three deities for a moment before the Moon God King reflexively looked up at them.

The God King Shengyue was practically the center of attention, so when he looked up, all the gods present turned their gazes to those three gods.

Coincidentally, the three deities were standing together again.

So in an instant, they became the center of attention.

These dozen or so moles were all identified by Qiu Tu in the first batch. Of course, he had to be absolutely certain that he wouldn't wrongly accuse them.

Therefore, the three deities' expressions changed slightly upon seeing this scene.

They opened their mouths to defend themselves, but Qiu Tu didn't give them a chance. He simply waved his hand slightly and said, "Alright, the 'investigation authorization' has been delivered. All procedures are proper and legal."

"Whether you are innocent or there are genuine issues, your innocence will be cleared after the trial."

At this point, Qiu Tu looked at the other God-Kings and Heavenly Gods, paying particular attention to the loyalty levels above their heads. After confirming that most of their loyalty was stable, he nodded slightly and said,

"Actually, I didn't originally want to trouble everyone."

"However, since the God King of the Vast Ocean has helped me gather everyone together, I'll trouble him in return."

"Please remain in this small hall for now and keep an eye on these colleagues for me. Then, follow my instructions and take them to the side hall in order for interrogation."

As he spoke, Qiu Tu glanced at the respectfully standing God King Han Hai beside him and said, "Lord Han Hai, I'll leave things to you."

Upon seeing that Qiu Tu had assigned him a task, the God King of the Vast Ocean quickly replied, "Don't worry, Lord Qiu Tu, I will definitely complete the task."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu smiled and nodded, patting him on the shoulder encouragingly.

A pat on the shoulder is a gesture usually used by superiors to pat subordinates, or by someone of higher status to pat someone of lower status.

Therefore, upon seeing Qiu Tu's action, the gods and celestial beings present couldn't help but glance at the two with somewhat complicated expressions.

Although the Vast Ocean God King was only one of the Heavy Stone God King's deputies, he was a core member and strategist of the Heavy Stone God King's team, and thus the de facto second-in-command of the "Execution Department." Within the "Execution Department," he was second only to the God King, holding a position of immense power.

But now Qiu Tu treats him like a subordinate.

This clearly demonstrates that the "Execution Department" has become naive.
The era of the Heavy Stone God-King seems to have ended. In its place stands a new God-King, who has only been in the "Temple" for a few months but has already risen to prominence.
Qiu Tu keenly observed the changes in the expressions of all the gods and celestial beings present. He didn't show it on his face, but he smiled slightly to himself.

It is very difficult to dismantle someone's rule. What Qiu Tu did was to subtly and gradually build his influence and prestige in the hearts of all the "Execution Department" deities.
Thinking this, Qiu Tu came back to his senses and looked at the Flourishing Moon God King in front of him.

He waved to the Divine King Shengyue, signaling him to follow, and then naturally walked towards the side hall.

Seeing Qiu Tu's actions, the God King Sheng Yue's expression kept changing, as if he was hesitating whether he should run, fight, or follow.

Ultimately, considering the power Qiu Tu unleashed at the "God King Conference," and looking at the "Execution Department" deities eyeing him menacingly, he finally chose to follow with a grim expression.

However, although he caught up with Qiu Tu, he made up his mind not to say anything.

Even among the six major powers like the "Temple," the God-King is the most important core force.

Therefore, without solid evidence, Qiu Tu can't do anything to him. As long as he stubbornly denies it, he'll likely get through this ordeal.

Thinking this, the Divine King Shengyue followed Qiu Tu and arrived at the side hall.

At this moment, the side hall had been arranged into an interrogation scene according to Qiu Tu's requirements.

Qiu Tu entered the side hall first, so he went straight to sit in the main seat.

Sheng Yue God King did not confront Qiu Tu at this time. He obediently and proactively sat in the suspect's seat and looked up at Qiu Tu.

At this moment, Qiu Tu, who was sitting in the main seat, lowered his head and took out a "recording stone". He touched it a few times, activated it, and officially began the interrogation.

"God King Shengyue, may I ask, have you had any private contact with the 'Immortal Heavenly Tomb,' and have you privately provided them with information about the 'Temple'?"

Sheng Yue, the God King, is considered an old God King in the "Execution Department" and is also an expert in interrogation.

So when he heard Qiu Tu's question, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

That's it?

Is this all the amazing thing about Qiu Tu that's been circulating these past few months?

Without any skill or trickery, you just ask directly?
How stupid would I have to be to answer his question directly?!
Thinking this, the Divine King Shengyue answered directly, "Yes. I do have private contact with the 'Immortal Heavenly Tomb,' and I have indeed been passing on intelligence to them."

The moment those words were uttered, the God King Shengyue's pupils contracted sharply, and his entire face changed color.

He stared at Qiu Tu in disbelief, opening his mouth to accuse Qiu Tu of using some kind of trick on him. But when he opened his mouth, he found that he couldn't say a word.

In that instant, he finally felt fear!

He looked at Qiu Tu with a face full of fear, clearly guessing that Qiu Tu had used some kind of powerful "Truth-Spitting" cataclysmic ability or cataclysmic artifact.

And all his secrets will be exposed!

His mind raced, frantically trying to find a way to turn the tide!
A moment later, he actually came up with a good idea.

'Qiu Tu used a mental 'catastrophic ability' on me. He can make me tell the truth, but he can also deliberately frame me.'

'So, after this interrogation is over, I'll just insist that he framed me!'

Anyway, it was just the two of us there, so he couldn't explain it clearly.

Thinking this way, the God King Shengyue felt a little more at ease.

However, what he didn't know was...

Just as Qiu Tu was interrogating him, a water curtain appeared in front of all the gods and god-kings of the "Execution Department" in the small hall.

The scene displayed on the water screen was Qiu Tu interrogating him.

The deities present were all veterans who had worked in the "Execution Department" for many years and were extremely knowledgeable about interrogation.

At first, when Qiu Tu didn't use any methods and just asked directly, they, like the God King Sheng Yue, thought that Qiu Tu's methods were too naive.

As a result, they were genuinely surprised when the Divine King of Shengyue admitted it outright.

They were all gods and celestial beings who worked on the secret front for many years, so they naturally knew that there were mental "catastrophic abilities" that could make people reveal secrets or influence people's minds.

However, even mental "catastrophic abilities" depend on their level. Let alone those that can affect a God-King, those that can even affect a Celestial God are extremely rare.

As it turns out, Qiu Tu actually had it?

However, while they were surprised, they were also aware of the drawback of this ability: the inability to prove one's own capabilities.

Qiu Tu claimed his ability could make people tell the truth, but the God King Sheng Yue insisted he was being controlled and spoke those words, making it impossible for others to discern the truth. Therefore, testimonies generated through mental "catastrophic abilities" often cannot be used as direct evidence.

Unless Qiu Tu provides other corroborating evidence.

Thinking this through, the clever god-kings had already roughly guessed what Qiu Tu was going to do next.

Sure enough, Qiu Tu in the water curtain spoke the next second. He said, "Your words are meaningless. What evidence do you have to prove what you've said?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's question, the Divine King Sheng Yue's expression changed drastically. In that instant, he truly wished he could bite off his own tongue so that he couldn't utter a single word.

But it was too late.

Faced with Qiu Tu's forced truth in the "order space," he told him everything he had done over the years, including all the evidence he had kept.

Although preserving your own evidence is a stupid thing to do, many times people have no control over their own actions.

This is similar to how a company that evades taxes often keeps two sets of books. It's not that they don't want to destroy the "real book," but rather that they themselves also need to keep accurate records.

The same applies to these moles. Although they know that preserving evidence is dangerous, they also need to control the evidence and methods used against their superiors.

Otherwise, they would be too easily used up and then thrown away.

Of course, once they fall into the hands of an "interrogation expert" like Qiu Tu, this evidence naturally becomes their own death warrant.

After obtaining clues and evidence from the Divine King of Shengyue, Qiu Tu pressed the bell.

The next second, Guan Xiao and Zhi Yan walked in from outside.

Qiu Tu handed them the location of the evidence, and they bowed before leading people to retrieve it.

All of this was clearly displayed in the water curtain.

Therefore, the deities in the small hall who witnessed the entire interrogation knew that the Moon God King was doomed.
At this moment, the traitors who witnessed Qiu Tu's methods began to have more thoughts.

Originally, they shared similar thoughts with the God King Shengyue; they all wanted to persevere to the death.

In hindsight, it seems that stubbornly holding on was perhaps pointless.
So when Sheng Yue God King was taken away, and Qiu Tu began to summon Qiu Feng God King to see him, Qiu Feng God King immediately knelt before Qiu Tu. Without Qiu Tu interrogating him, he told him everything in detail.

Compared to the God-King Sheng Yue, his crimes were actually much less serious. He did have private contact with the "Immortal Heavenly Tomb" and did pass on some information. However, he only did so to maintain a semblance of goodwill by passing on some very low-value information.

After all, compared to the God King Shengyue, he is still young and doesn't need to prepare a way out so early.

Seeing that Qiu Feng God King was so pragmatic, Qiu Tu also showed his sincerity.

Although he temporarily restricted Qiu Feng God King's movements, he did not suspend him from his post, nor did he send anyone to imprison him. This gave him a glimmer of hope.

As mentioned before: each God-King is the core strength of their respective faction.

Unless it's a serious crime, the various factions won't weaken themselves.

Thus, with the successful experience of Qiu Feng God King, all the remaining God Kings and Heavenly Gods readily confessed their crimes and accepted punishment after being brought to the interrogation room.

This allowed Qiu Tu's interrogation to proceed rapidly.

So, Qiu Tu's interrogation ended in less than an hour.

All 18 deities on the list are innocent. They all have some connection with the "Immortal Heavenly Tomb" or have passed on messages to it.

Qiu Tu had them taken to a courtyard and separated them, confining them to their quarters.

How to deal with these deities is not within Qiu Tu's jurisdiction.

All he could do was ensure that these deities could not tip off the "Immortal Tomb" during the execution of his plan.

After interrogating the suspected deities, Qiu Tu did not forget to test the remaining deities as well.

He made no attempt to feign innocence, approaching the deities directly and addressing them, "Through the water curtain, you should all already be aware of my 'Celestial Technique'."

"So, I won't say anything more. If you have any questions, you'd better step forward and speak up yourself."

Although he said "it's best to step forward yourself," he actually set rules using "order space."

So, in that instant, a few who had slipped through the net did indeed step forward.

This time, it wasn't just spies from the "Immortal Tomb," but also spies from other sources.

However, compared to the "Immortal Heavenly Tomb", there are significantly fewer nails from other sources.

This is likely because the "Temple of Order" already offers the best benefits among the major pathways. Other pathways are unlikely to offer prices that satisfy the gods.
Thus, thanks to Qiu Tu's cheat-like "order space," the spies in the "Execution Department" were wiped out, and all the god-kings and gods still in the "Execution Department" can be said to be loyal to the "Temple" at least for now.

Therefore, Qiu Tu did not hesitate to issue a gag order to them. He forbade them from spreading his catastrophic abilities to outsiders, and also forbade them from revealing to anyone the "Execution Department's" next plan against the "Immortal Heavenly Tomb".

At least in Qiu Tu's "loyalty game," after he gave this command, the loyalty of the gods present did not change, which meant that they all obeyed Qiu Tu's orders.
Of course, Qiu Tu's gag order was effective for others, but it was obviously useless for Elena and Qing'e.

So, before long, all of Qiu Tu's actions in uncovering the traitor today reached their ears.

When Elena heard that Qiu Tu actually possessed a mental "catastrophic ability" that was effective against God-King level beings, her expression was somewhat puzzled.

She was dressed in a thin veil, leaning against Qing'e, looking completely dazed. Then, while drinking, she said in a drunken, slurred manner...

"A mental 'cataclysmic ability' that can even affect a God-King. Impressive."

"It's been so many years since such a powerful ability has appeared."

Upon hearing Elena's words, Qing'e, also dressed in a thin veil, couldn't help but whisper, "Your Majesty, don't forget that Qiu Tu recently used his 'Innate Divine Skill'."

"He seems to be quite extraordinary."

At this point, Qing'e paused for a moment, then continued, "Right now, the higher-ups in the 'Wine God Kingdom' are all saying that he might become the fifth high-ranking God-King of our 'Order Path'."

Upon hearing this, Elena smiled slightly on her beautiful face.

She tilted her head back, took a sip of wine, lay there lazily, and said nonchalantly, "If becoming a high-level God-King were really that easy, I wouldn't have been stuck for so many years."

"He's only a second-level God-King right now."

"Compared to him, I actually have a higher opinion of the goddess Wang beside him."

Hearing Elena's words, Qing'e was visibly taken aback. She blinked her bright eyes and couldn't help but ask, "Which Goddess King?"

After speaking, Qing'e hesitated for a moment as if she had thought of something, and then asked, "Zhao Ji?"

Upon hearing the name Zeki, Elena's expression turned serious. She nodded slightly, acknowledging Qing'e's guess, "It's her."

Qing'e was clearly puzzled. "Why?"

She thought for a moment and said, "If I remember correctly, she was only a second-level God-King, right?"

Elena leaned against Qing'e, who was only wearing a thin veil, her slightly protruding chest. Her gaze pierced through the layers of buildings and looked at the courtyard where Qiu Tu lived.

Then she said softly, "You don't understand."

"In the days since she advanced, I've been able to sense her growing stronger every single moment."

"The speed was extremely fast, and it seemed to have no limit."

At this point, Elena paused, adding in her mind: "I even feel that her aura is almost surpassing mine."
Thinking this, Elena's eyes cleared as she looked at the terrifying phenomenon that only she, the "Lord of the World," could see, and her hands clenched slightly.

I'd like to recommend a friend's book: *Sasuke Returns from Demon Slayer: Starting with the Uzumaki Affinity*.
