Chapter 827 If you can't be a chess player, you can only be a chess piece (Seeking monthly votes)

Within the "Immortal Heavenly Tomb" system, Takii God-King and Tanida God-King have different roles.

Tanida Shin-o was in charge of peripheral intelligence work, but Takii Shin-o was in charge of security and protection.

The former wields more power, is more valued, and enjoys greater freedom. The latter, however, is clearly closer to the powerful and is trusted by them.

These are two different divisions of labor, and the requirements for the qualities and abilities of the god-kings are also different.

Just like Takii Shin-o, because he was not in charge of intelligence work, he did not have the same keen intuition and comprehensive observation skills as Tanida Shin-o.

This led to the fact that, although he still had some doubts about Qiu Tu and Qing'e, he didn't think of asking them until he had led Qiu Tu out of the white mist.

However, Qiu Tu had rehearsed this situation countless times and was unlikely to show any fear.

Therefore, upon hearing Takii God-King's words, Qiu Tu replied without blinking, "Your Majesty, the mission I was assigned by Lord Tanida was to intercept an intelligence line from the 'Temple of Order'."

"And the God-King beside me is an 'Order God-King' whom I captured and turned against me."

At this point, Qiu Tu flipped his hand, took out an authorization document, and respectfully handed it to Takii Shinoh beside him.

Takii Shin-o reached out and took the authorization document. The document was written on special paper made by the "Immortal Tomb" intelligence agency, with Tani Shin-o's handwriting, a detailed date, and both a private seal and an official seal.

The contents of the document were consistent with what Qiu Tu had said, authorizing "Ghost Seal God King" to intercept intelligence lines.

As for whether the God King could be captured or turned during the interception of intelligence lines, this was of course not listed in the document.

Qiu Tu's behavior could be considered slightly against the rules, but it would be normal under normal circumstances.

Therefore, after a moment's thought, Takii Shin-o returned the document to Qiu Tu and said, "I see."

"However, unfortunately, you probably can't turn in the mission now."

After speaking, Takii Shin-o glanced at Qing'e, then, with his hands behind his back and a hunched posture, slowly said to Qiu Tu, "Right now, our 'Heavenly Tomb' is undertaking a major undertaking."

"All other tasks and plans must be suspended. All personnel will be forcibly reassigned."

"You are no exception."

"You should find an open space nearby to set up camp and wait for news."

At this point, he thought for a moment, then added, "I will file your case and inform the current intelligence chief, the God-King. He should then arrange for someone to contact you."

"During this time, do not wander around or leave the camp without permission."

Upon hearing Takii Shin-o's words, Qiu Tu quickly bowed and replied, "Yes."

After arranging everything, Takii Shin-oh casually marked out a piece of land for Qiu Tu on the outer perimeter, designating it as Qiu Tu's camp area, and then stepped into the interior of the camp.

Clearly, although he had come to trust Qiu Tu through the conversation and the documents Qiu Tu had prepared, he still remained somewhat wary of Qiu Tu just to be on the safe side.

However, this was enough for Qiu Tu.

His original purpose in infiltrating this place was to understand the situation and gather intelligence. Now that he has a certain degree of freedom, it actually makes it easier for him to act.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu quietly surveyed the entire camp before setting up the "Immortal Path" standard tent that he had prepared in advance.

Because of the preferences of the "Immortal Triumvirate," the tents of the "Immortal Gods" were mainly decorated in black and gray tones. So when the "Immortal Gods" surrounded the "Chaotic Western Capital," the outer perimeter of the "Chaotic Western Capital" looked like rows of tombstones standing up densely, which looked particularly eerie.

After setting up the tent, Qiu Tu led Qing'e inside and began testing the "communication artifact".

Just as Qiu Tu had guessed: the reason why communications were cut off was mainly due to that patch of white fog.

Therefore, after entering the white mist, Qiu Tu was unable to contact Guan Xiao and the others, but he was able to resume communication with Bai Yi.

Perhaps not expecting Qiu Tu to be able to contact him at this time, Bai Yi's expression didn't change much, but his voice was clearly a little shaky.

Qiu Tu keenly sensed his emotions, so he smiled and said, "What? You seem a little surprised?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the man in white responded, "That's true to some extent."

After saying that, he asked, "You've already sneaked in? Then you must have some understanding of the current situation, right?"

Upon hearing Bai Yi's words, Qiu Tu replied, "I did sneak in, but I don't really know much about the current situation."

"I'm just guessing that 'Destruction Tyrant' and 'Immortal Tomb' have joined forces, but what exactly happened and what they want to do is unclear."

At this point, Qiu Tu paused for a moment, then said, "So, I need your answer."

Bai Yi knew that now was not the time to keep things to himself, so after hearing Qiu Tu's words, he remained silent for half a second before slowly beginning to recount what had happened recently.

According to Bai Yi, during this time, he had been acting on the orders of the "Chaos Witch" to deal with the "Destruction Tyrant" regarding the death of Princess Xingyue.

However, it is possible that the "Destruction Tyrant" was just using this as an excuse to cause trouble. So even though he offered many solutions and ways to prevent the situation from escalating, the "Destruction Tyrant" was still not interested and insisted on coming to the "Chaotic West Capital" to investigate in person.

After careful consideration, Baiyi agreed to the "Destruction Tyrant's" request: after all, the "Chaos Path" itself has no rules, and the "Chaos West Capital" is a completely open world. Even if the "Destruction Tyrant" is refused an official visit, it cannot prevent the "Destruction Tyrant" from visiting privately.

Of course, after agreeing to let the "Destruction Tyrant" come to investigate, Baiyi also made some corresponding preparations to avoid the "Destruction Tyrant" acting unpredictably or taking advantage of the situation.

The "Destroyer Tyrant" did indeed act unpredictably and took advantage of the situation, but no one expected that it would go so far.

Upon arriving in "Chaotic West Capital," "Destruction Tyrant" didn't even bother to investigate before claiming to have found the culprit. However, the culprit had already left "Chaotic West Capital" and gone to "Temple of Order."

Therefore, he suspected that the "Chaos Faction" and the "Temple of Order" were joining forces to attack Him, so he directly used the "Cage of Divine Mist," a "special artifact," to seal off all the "Chaos" and "Order" divine kingdoms in the "West."

This prevents these divine kingdoms from entering or leaving, and also from transmitting messages.

According to "Destruction Tyrant," he was not deliberately provoking "Chaos Faction" and "Temple of Order." He was simply worried that the murderers who killed his daughter would collude and then escape.

Of course, nobody believed his flimsy excuse. Everyone thought he was just using the situation as an excuse to make a fuss.

Therefore, the "Chaos Faction" and the "Temple of Order" wanted to rebel at that time. As a result, the "Immortal Tomb" appeared at that moment.

They had clearly been in cahoots with the "Destroyer Tyrant" for a long time, so they tacitly began to station troops and besiege various divine kingdoms.

It should be noted that although the "Immortal Heavenly Tomb" does not belong to the upper path, its combat power is considerable.

The six major paths have been fighting for over a thousand years, and they are well aware of the strength of each path.

The Immortal Tomb's main disadvantage is its lack of high-end combat power, but even so, its overall strength ranks second among the six major paths, second only to "Order".

After all, living beings can be chaotic, orderly, revere life, or desire to destroy the world. But no matter which path they choose, their ultimate fate is death.

Death, however, is precisely the "path to immortality."

Therefore, the source of deities in the "Immortal Heavenly Tomb" is endless, and they have become stronger and stronger over the years.

Previously, no major channels paid much attention to the "Immortal Heavenly Tomb". Now that the "Immortal Heavenly Tomb" has erupted, major channels are surprised to find that the "Immortal Heavenly Tomb" seems to have made a significant leap in overall strength after these hundreds of years.

One "Destruction Tyrant" was already difficult to deal with, but now with the addition of the "Immortal Triumvirate" and the countless deities of the "Immortal Heavenly Tomb," all the major paths were feeling a bit of a headache.

Furthermore, given that the "Destruction Tyrant" and the "Immortal Triumvirate" were clearly well-prepared, all the major factions ultimately chose to remain inactive without being entirely confident, wanting to see what they were planning to do.

It is precisely because of this series of complex circumstances that the "Eternal Continent - West" is now in this strange state.

After listening to the white-clad man's account, Qiu Tu finally had a general understanding of the whole matter.

Judging from the current situation, it is clear that the "Destruction Tyrant" and the "Immortal Trio" have been planning this for a long time and have their own purposes.

The other high-ranking god-kings were clearly old foxes: they knew that if they went head-to-head with the "Destruction Tyrant" and the "Immortal Triumvirate" now, they would likely suffer losses if they were caught off guard. Therefore, it was better to patiently wait for the "Destruction Tyrant" and the "Immortal Triumvirate" to reveal a weakness before delivering a fatal blow.

However, this made Qiu Tu and his group expendable.

After all, in such a chaotic situation, let alone a second-level god-king like Qiu Tu, even a guardian god-king like Elena is a pawn to be sacrificed when necessary.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, Lao Bai, when did 'Destruction Tyrant' break ties with you?"

"Yesterday? The day before yesterday?"

The man in white said, "The day before that."

Two days ago, Qiu Tu did a quick mental calculation.

It took him a day and a half to get to "Chaotic Western Capital" this time, so in fact, the high-level officials of various channels had already received relevant intelligence before he left "Wine God Kingdom".

However, neither Jasmine nor the four giants of the "Temple of Order" provided Qiu Tu with any information.

Of all these people, the only one who revealed the information was Elena. But the fact that she didn't even dare to use the keywords and could only hint at it indirectly showed that the higher-ups of the "Temple of Order" didn't want her to know this information.

'Damn it!'

'They deliberately threw me out here, using me as a tool to muddy the waters, even as a perfect excuse for them to join the fray.'

If Qiu Tu hadn't sensed something was wrong and possessed the ability of the "Punishment God Domain," he would probably have already fallen into the hands of the "Immortal Heavenly Tomb."

Qiu Tu had recently persecuted the "Immortal Tomb's" spies and agents within the "Temple of Order," so it was obvious that the "Immortal Tomb" wouldn't let him off the hook.

'Truly insidious.'

Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but curse the four giants of the "Temple of Order" in his heart.

Perhaps sensing Qiu Tu's emotions, the man in white smiled and said, "Don't be angry. You must understand that no matter which world you're in, if you can't be a player, you can only be a pawn."

"What you need to do is to make yourself stronger as soon as possible and become the 'player' in your own path."

Upon hearing Bai Yi's words, Qiu Tu hummed in agreement.

Then he said, “But I’m fine. After all, not only have I become a pawn, but it seems like you have too.”

"So, have you thought about how to break this deadlock and how to protect yourself?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the man in white replied gently and honestly, "I haven't thought about that yet."

"After all, I'm just an ordinary person. How could the scheme that the 'Destruction Tyrant' and the 'Immortal Triumvirate' have been plotting for so many years be so easily ruined by someone else?"

"Therefore, like the other senior executives of the four major channels, I also chose to take it one step at a time and wait for them to show their weaknesses."

At this point, the man in white seemed to have thought of something and said, "However, I think this change should be coming soon."

"Based on my observations over the past two days, I think they will make some big moves as early as late tonight or at the latest by noon tomorrow."

"Perhaps this is an opportunity for us."

'Late tonight, noon tomorrow,' Qiu Tu pondered these two times and then memorized them.

After chatting with Baiyi for a few more minutes and exchanging information, Qiu Tu ended the communication.

He gained a lot from this communication; at least, he was no longer completely clueless about the current situation. This allowed him to begin to slowly strategize.
At that moment, while Qiu Tu was pondering the current situation, Qing'e, who had listened to the entire conversation between the two, glanced at Qiu Tu with her beautiful eyes, her gaze hesitant and unsure of what to say.

Although Qiu Tu was currently focused most of his attention on analyzing intelligence, he still keenly noticed Qing'e's expression. So, while continuing his analysis, Qiu Tu also kept an eye on Qing'e and asked, "What's wrong?"

Qing'e had clearly been waiting for Qiu Tu to ask her something. So, seeing that Qiu Tu had finally paid attention to her, Qing'e considered her words for a moment, and then said directly, "I just overheard you sharing information with that Shepherd God King. He said that late tonight, or tomorrow noon, there might be a major change in the entire 'Eternal World - Western Region'."

"So, I was wondering if you could find some time tonight to give me a special massage beforehand."

Qiu Tu:?
