Then let them show their loyalty!

Chapter 915 Radiant Fate: If you are stronger than me, you can also suppress me (Seeking monthly votes)
It must be said that Princess Huiming's rhetoric was indeed very effective, and Qiu Tu suddenly understood all of her plans.

Princess Huiming's plan was quite simple: to lure people with benefits.

When she began to doubt Qiu Tu's identity, she offered him a huge reward: the position of the Berserker God King.

Qiu Tu thought this position was compensation for "Cloud Cat God King", but in fact, it was Princess Huiming who made two preparations.

—If Cloud Cat God King was truly wronged, then consider this compensation for him. And if Cloud Cat God King was indeed replaced by Qiu Tu, then this is the greatest sincerity we can offer Qiu Tu.

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but consider the sincerity shown by Princess Huiming.

He had previously planned to pull off a quick heist and leave, and since he was using the identity of Cloud Cat God King, he did not actually pursue the position of Mad War God King.

Now that he had time to think it over carefully, Qiu Tu realized that this position was quite remarkable.

Not only does he control the three powerful departments of "Shadow Division", "Imperial Guard" and "Berserker Legion", but his status in the entire "Destruction Royal Court" is second only to the four and above all others.

This position is even higher than that of Qiu Tu's superior, Elena, in the "Temple of Order".

'Wow, so generous!'

To be honest, although Princess Huiming had previously said she looked down on the "Temple of Order" and thought they lacked tolerance, Qiu Tu had only taken it as her belittling her opponent.

Many people and forces would do this, so Qiu Tu just ignored it.

As it turns out, Princess Huiming was indeed not lying. She is indeed more tolerant and generous than the Temple of Order.

The only question is whether this is really just empty promises or a deliberate delay to keep themselves out of the game?

After all, "he" had killed the Berserker God King and even wanted to sabotage the millennium-long plan of "Destroying the Royal Court".

At this moment, perhaps having guessed Qiu Tu's thoughts, Princess Huiming also spoke.

She slightly raised her phoenix eyes, looking at Qiu Tu with indifferent eyes, devoid of any emotion, only absolute rationality.

With her hands behind her back, her black python robe made her look like a deity. She looked at Qiu Tu and said, "Don't doubt my sincerity."

"Those in positions of power bear the lives of hundreds of millions of people on their shoulders, and must act with absolute rationality."

"You have demonstrated intelligence that is attractive enough to me, and your companions have also shown considerable strength."

"One of you manipulated the 'Shadow Division' at will, and the other slew the Berserker."

"It seems I really should kill you all."

"However, killing you all cannot make up for the loss to the 'Royal Court' caused by the fall of the Berserker."

"And if we can recruit you to the 'Royal Court,' we will not only have a God-King even more powerful than the Berserker, but also a strategist smarter than the entire 'Shadow Division.'"

"This will not only make up for the losses after the fall of the Berserker, but will also make our 'Royal Court' even stronger."

"Therefore, I am sincerely inviting you to join 'Royal Court,' not just making empty promises."

It must be said that Princess Huiming's idea was indeed very unique, but upon closer examination, it made some sense.

However, Qiu Tu still had some worries in his heart.

So, he paced slowly for a couple of steps in the hall before stopping, calmly looking at Princess Huiming, and asking,

"But Your Highness, don't you want to avenge the Berserker God King?"

"You've recruited the murderer of the Berserker God King. Can you really convince the people with that?"

"Won't the other subordinates of the Berserker God King feel disheartened, or even oppose him?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Princess Huiming let out a rare soft laugh.

She said, "It seems that God-King Qiu Tu doesn't quite understand the personality of our 'Destruction Path' God-King."

"If it's another recommendation, then it's highly likely."

She glanced at Qiu Tu, then said arrogantly, "However, we, the God-Kings of the 'Path of Destruction,' have always revered strength."

"Since you can defeat Berserker, why not replace Berserker?"

At this point, she put her hands behind her back, even giving Qiu Tu a deep look, and said, "Even... if your strength surpasses mine and my father's, then what if the 'Royal Court' respects you?"

Hearing this, Qiu Tu was somewhat tempted, but he still quickly cupped his hands in a salute and said, "Your Highness is too kind."

"How could we possibly have such presumptuous thoughts?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Princess Huiming did not reply, because she did not believe him at all.

After all, she hadn't forgotten that the person in front of her dared to transform into a "cloud cat," crawl into her bed, and sleep with her, even stepping on her sensitive areas.

'audacious in the extreme.'

This is Princess Huiming's evaluation of Qiu Tu.

However, as she said, she did indeed develop a fondness for his talent. That's why she was able to pretend to forget about these things.

After all, one was a god-king who could slay a berserker with a single sword strike. The other was a god-king with exceptional wisdom. Such talents were enough to make her abandon any previous prejudices.

More importantly, the former used "Destruction Power" to kill the Berserker, and is most likely a Guardian God-King of the "Destruction Path". With a little nurturing, he may very well give birth to the fifth high-level God-King in the "Royal Court".

The latter, on the other hand, possesses a variety of incredibly powerful and unpredictable mysterious abilities.

Once these two can be subdued, the strength of the entire "Royal Court" will be elevated to a new level.

Thinking this, Princess Huiming couldn't help but look at Qiu Tu again and ask, "God King Qiu Tu, what's your decision?"

To be honest, Qiu Tu was genuinely tempted after hearing Princess Huiming's conditions.

The core reason is that he suddenly realized that Princess Huiming was right! His current position and status in the "Royal Court" have long surpassed those in the "Temple of Order".

He'd already gotten all the benefits. Under these circumstances, why would he continue to risk his life for the "Temple of Order"?

However, although he had made a preliminary decision in his mind, he also knew the principle that "you get what you pay for."

Therefore, he deliberately showed a hesitant expression before speaking, "Your Highness has keen eyes and can surely see that I am not having a good time in the Temple of Order. Otherwise, I would not have been sent to carry out this mission with a high risk of death."

"Therefore, I am personally very satisfied with your terms."

"But, as you know, I'm not alone. So I need to ask my companions."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Princess Huiming frowned almost imperceptibly. "Is that the God King who killed the Berserker with a single sword strike?"

“Exactly.” Qiu Tu nodded.

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Princess Huiming couldn't help but picture a man wielding a long sword, looking down with disdain, who then shredded the Berserker God King and his axe into ashes with a single strike.

Because she mistook that person for Qiu Tu, Princess Huiming developed a strong interest in Qiu Tu.

Now that she has confirmed Qiu Tu's identity, she roughly guesses that the person is likely someone else entirely.

'I wonder what kind of person could possess such heroic bearing.'

'Or perhaps...that's actually Qiu Tu's true form? And he's just using this as a delaying tactic?' Although he was skilled in political maneuvering, Hui Ming didn't actually like to speculate or think too much about these trivial matters.

She acts domineeringly; as long as everything continues to unfold according to her plan, that's enough. Whether there are any changes along the way is actually irrelevant.

Thinking this, Princess Huiming came back to her senses, her gaze returning to Qiu Tu with an undeniable air of authority. "I can give you time to discuss this. However, my patience is limited."

“Of course.” Qiu Tu bowed slightly. “I will give Your Highness an answer as soon as I contact my companions.”

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Princess Hui gave a faint "hmm" in agreement.

However, upon hearing her agreement, a strange light flashed in Qiu Tu's eyes.

The reason is simple. Besides buying himself time, he asked the question to test Princess Huiming.

You should know that Qiu Tu has been trying to contact Zhao Ji for three days, but he has been unable to reach her.

Qiu Tu was actually worried that Princess Huiming had acted first and captured Zhao Ji.

However, judging from Princess Kaname's reaction, Princess So-hime has not fallen into Princess Kaname's hands.

Therefore, there is only one possibility for why Lady Zhaoji "disappeared".

'Has Sister Zhaoji broken through to a higher level?'

'Previously, she was probably stuck at the peak of the fourth-level God King realm, a half-step Guardian God King.'

'After this breakthrough in seclusion, I should officially become the Guardian God-King.'

'With her strength and talent, we won't be helpless even against high-level God-Kings!'

Thinking this, Qiu Tu felt much more relaxed.

So he gave a slight bow to Princess Huiming and prepared to turn and leave.

Just then, he heard the voice of the Star Gazing God King, "Wait."

Qiu Tu paused, then turned to look at her.

The Star Gazing Goddess's deep eyes seemed to see right through people's hearts. She gave Qiu Tu a deep look, then stretched out her hand, and the next second, a completely black token engraved with intricate star patterns flew towards Qiu Tu.

Qiu Tu reached out and caught it.

And the voice of the Star Gazing God King rang in his ears.

"This is the Star Gazing Token. With this token, you can come to the Star Gazing Tower to see me, or rather, us, at any time."

Qiu Tu's heart stirred, and he accepted the token.

This token is a gesture of goodwill, a form of surveillance, and a reminder.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Qiu Tu put the token into his pocket, said no more, turned around and strode out of the hall.

After Qiu Tu left, the entire Star Gazing Tower fell silent.

After a moment, looking at the palace gate, Princess Huiming slowly spoke, "Do you think he will agree?"

The Star-Gazing God King remained seated on the futon. Hearing Princess Huiming's words, she softly replied, "He will."

"Because he is a smart man. And smart men always make the right choices."

Upon hearing the Star Gazing God King's words, Princess Huiming remained silent for two seconds before softly humming in agreement.
"Let's hope so. After all, we still need them for our next plan."

at the same time.

Leaving the Star Gazing Tower, Qiu Tu boarded the silver chariot he had used to arrive in, and then, escorted by members of the "Shadow Division," silently disappeared into the shadows outside the imperial city, heading towards the prison city.
The night wind was exceptionally cool, dispersing the starlight from the observatory that clung to him and allowing his nerves, which had been taut from the series of battles, to relax slightly.

He sat atop a silver chariot soaring through the air, gazing down at the brightly lit, yet turbulent, ruined royal city below, lost in thought.

Tonight's meeting with Princess Huiming was truly full of twists and turns.

At first he was calm and confident, then he was apprehensive, and finally he gradually took control of the conversation.

He certainly didn't think it was due to his own great ability or eloquence. Rather, he knew it was Princess Huiming's "sincerity."

Just like Princess Huiming, who knew his identity but had no intention of eliminating him.

In comparison, the relationship between the Stargazing God King and the Radiant Princess is nothing at all.

After all, in a world where everyone has an "alias," it would be strange if Princess Huiming didn't have one.

However, thinking of this, a thoughtful look appeared in Qiu Tu's eyes again.

'Mysterious Path'

How exactly did Princess Huiming manage to do that?

If the "Stargazing God-King" is her true form, then how did her avatar become a high-level God-King of the "Destruction Path"?

What secret is she hiding?

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu's gaze became profound.

He took out the star-gazing token and gently twirled it between his fingers. The cool touch gradually calmed his chaotic thoughts.

'Furthermore, Princess Huiming's true form is "mysterious," the cloud cat who signed the betrothal contract with her is "order," the Destruction Tyrant is "destruction," and Princess Xingyue is "immortal."'

Within the royal family that "destroyed the royal court," four of the six pathways have already been established.

Is this really a coincidence?

Perhaps because he learned too many secrets today, Qiu Tu, who originally felt that the road ahead was very clear, suddenly felt that the entire "Destruction Royal Court" was shrouded in a thick fog.

'If it's just the Destroyer Tyrant, I feel that the "Destroyer Royal Court" was most likely tricked by the "Immortal Heavenly Tomb."'

'But with Princess Huiming and the others cooperating this time, it's still unclear who's scheming against whom.'

Meanwhile, Qiu Tu was deep in thought.

Suddenly, Qiu Tu snapped back to his senses and looked up at the location of the "World Passage" in the east.

Just now, the communication methods he set up inside and outside the "World Corridor" were activated.

'Could it be... Sister Zhaoji is back?'

Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but smile.

I wonder if her promotion went smoothly this time.

'Have you successfully broken through to the level of Guardian God King?'

Thinking this, Qiu Tu sat on the silver chariot and said, "Change course. Go to the World Passage."

Upon hearing his words, the silver chariot traced a graceful fan shape in the air before heading towards the "World Passage"—
