Then let them offer their loyalty!

Upon hearing what Heavenly King Zhiyan said, Qiu Tu couldn't help but look up and blink.

He was just about to say something frivolous when, at that moment, Li Feng's somewhat surprised voice came through the communicator, "Mom?"

After saying that, she quickly asked, "Is that you, Mom?"

Upon hearing Li Feng's voice, Heavenly King Zhiyan was visibly taken aback.

She looked at Qiu Tu with a hint of disbelief.

Qiu Tu glanced at her helplessly, then transmitted his voice, "I refused you. You insisted on talking..."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Heavenly King Zhiyan couldn't help but glare at him.

That was rejection? That was flirting, wasn't it?

'This guy, he definitely did it on purpose!'

Thinking this, King Zhiyan pinched Qiu Tu in anger.

Qiu Tu wasn't in any pain, but he still deliberately cried out "Ouch!"

Before Zhiyan could even feel smug, Li Feng's surprised voice came through the receiver, "Qiu Tu? Are you alright?"

"Mom? What are you doing?"

Hearing Li Feng's repeated questioning, Heavenly King Zhiyan finally remembered that the most urgent task at hand was to smooth things over.

So she took a deep breath, trying to calm her wildly beating heart, then tucked a stray hair behind her ear and said, "Xiao Feng, it's me."

Deceiving people seems to be a woman's innate skill.

Therefore, in just two seconds, Heavenly King Zhiyan had already come up with her words.

She said, "In the past two days, another god-king of the 'Chaotic Path' has descended."

"Speaker Qiu suspects that the Western God King, Tiannu, deliberately let him in. He knows I'm the person in the Human Alliance who knows the most about the 'Western Kingdom,' so he sent me here for consultation."

Zhiyan Tianwang's words were half true and half false, so she wasn't afraid that Li Feng would find out.

Sure enough, Li Feng didn't find any loopholes in her words.

But she was clearly not so easily fooled. So she hesitated for a moment, then asked, "So... what were you talking about just now? What did you eat?"

This time, before Li Feng could speak, Qiu Tu said, "You're really curious. What can we eat at this time? It must be breakfast."

At this point, Qiu Tu paused for a moment and said, "You're not going to ask me what kind of breakfast the Heavenly King sent me, are you?"

"Why don't you guess for yourself? It must be something you've eaten."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Li Feng was taken aback.

Did you eat it yourself?

I've eaten so many things. So what exactly was it?

Before she could even think about it, Qiu Tu interrupted her and said, "You're not really thinking about that, are you? Let's talk about business first."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Li Feng finally snapped out of her reverie.

It was only then that she remembered she was on a business call with Qiu Tu. So she quickly composed herself and continued listening to Qiu Tu's instructions.

However, while listening to Qiu Tu's arrangements, she still had some doubts in her mind.

The reason is simple... It's only a little past 6 a.m., and your own mother is bringing breakfast to Qiu Tu?

Moreover... on the phone just now, my mother laughed so happily, and I even... detected a hint of shyness and charm in her voice.

Is this normal speaking style?

Li Feng sensed something was wrong.

But... that's my mother, who's never shown any interest in men for decades.

Li Feng wondered if she might be overthinking things.

Thinking this, she couldn't help but calm herself down and then started making a serious phone call with Qiu Tu.

Meanwhile, on the other end of the phone, King Zhiyan, seeing that Qiu Tu had successfully resolved the crisis, patted her heaving chest with a look of lingering fear.

She didn't dare to play around, but tiptoed to the sofa and sat down. She listened quietly to Qiu Tu talking to her daughter on the phone.

Through their conversation, Heavenly King Zhiyan learned that his daughter had obtained a crucial cataclysmic ability, causing her strength to advance by leaps and bounds once again.

A look of relief appeared on her face.

Although, as a high-level Cataclysm user, she was no less attractive than Li Feng in terms of appearance, figure, or skin. In fact, because of her more delicate features and greater femininity, she appeared even more beautiful than Li Feng.

When the two stand together, many people even think they are sisters rather than mother and daughter.

But... blood is blood. Li Feng is Zhi Yan's biological daughter, born after ten months of pregnancy. She is flesh of her own flesh.

Making her child better and better is probably the biggest wish of Heavenly King Zhiyan.

Upon hearing that Qiu Tu was planning to allocate resources to help Li Feng get promoted quickly, a smile appeared on her face. The lingering fear of being caught in the act earlier was completely forgotten.

And so, she listened quietly as Qiu Tu and Li Feng finished their phone call. Only after confirming that Qiu Tu had hung up did Heavenly King Zhiyan look at him gently and say,

"Thank you for helping Xiaofeng improve her strength."

Upon hearing what Zhiyan Tianwang said, Qiu Tu, who had just put down the phone, smiled and looked up at her, then said, "No need to thank me. She's my daughter too."

Hearing Qiu Tu's shameless words, Heavenly King Zhiyan blushed slightly.

She gave Qiu Tu a flirtatious glare and then said, "Don't talk nonsense."

She said carefully, "Last night...it was all an accident."

"I never expected those things to happen to us."

"So... let's just pretend nothing happened."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu glanced at Heavenly King Zhiyan and said in surprise, "You played me and then just ran away? You're not going to take responsibility?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's shameless words, Heavenly King Zhiyan couldn't help but chuckle and almost burst out laughing again.

She rolled her eyes at Qiu Tu, then deliberately said, "Yes, yes, yes. I am such an irresponsible woman."

"A puppy like you. I'll just play around with you casually."

"Anyway, you didn't lose anything. So don't worry about it."

Hearing what Heavenly King Zhiyan said, Qiu Tu also became "anxious". He couldn't help but say, "How can I not have lost money? I've given you all the money I've saved up during this time."

"They lost hundreds of millions!"

Zhiyan, the Heavenly King, never expected the topic to escalate so risquély. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and her watery eyes became increasingly moist.

She said with a faint smile, "If you lose money, you lose money. Everyone loses something in life."

She was just joking around with Qiu Tu, but who knew that upon hearing her words, Qiu Tu would suddenly stand up and stride over to her.

Seeing Qiu Tu's strong reaction, Heavenly King Zhiyan was a little puzzled, not realizing there was anything wrong with what she had said. It was just a normal bickering, after all.

So she couldn't help but look up and ask, "What are you going to do?"

Qiu Tu looked down at her and said bluntly, "I'm going to examine your conscience and see how you dare to say such things."

Zhiyan lifted Qiu Tu up, her eyes like water, as if she had a thousand words to say.

Qiu Tu actually had more to say than she did. So... Qiu Tu picked up Zhiyan Tianwang again and went straight to the bedroom to discuss this matter.

So, half an hour later, Qiu Tu blinked, then leaned close to Zhiyan Tianwang's ear and said,

"Heavenly King...you've dirtied the bed."

At this moment, Zhiyan, who was being held in Qiu Tu's arms, couldn't help but bite Qiu Tu's shoulder in embarrassment and anger.

Qiu Tu was in pain, so he began to educate Heavenly King Zhiyan.

So... now not only was the bed stained by Heavenly King Zhiyan, but the sofa, desk, and even the bay window on the balcony were also stained by him...

.......

And so, the day passed without further ado.

In the evening, Qiu Tu stood in the courtyard, looking up at the bright moon in the sky, quietly smoking.

Heavenly King Zhiyan came out of the house, draped a coat over Qiu Tu, then leaned against him and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Qiu Tu flicked his cigarette ash and then said, "Thinking about us humans."

"Humans?" Heavenly King Zhiyan was a little puzzled.

Qiu Tu gave a faint "hmm" and then said, "An ordinary person's life is really just like wheat ripening a few dozen times."

"As the leaders of humanity, it would be extremely irresponsible of us to let them go without even these few dozen harvests of new wheat."

Qiu Tu's words, though simple, seemed to reveal a touch of philosophy, leaving King Zhiyan momentarily stunned.

At this moment, Qiu Tu stubbed out his cigarette and said, "So, in order for our people to be able to eat in peace, we must protect this world."

At this point, Qiu Tu added, "Moreover, this is also to protect ourselves."

"Protect ourselves?" Heavenly King Zhiyan asked, somewhat puzzled.

Qiu Tu hummed in agreement, then looked up at the moon and said, "I've been thinking about this for the past two days."

"They're all worlds, so why is there a difference between an 'underground divine kingdom' and an 'ordinary world'?"

"Furthermore...why is it that a powerful god-king like Yaoqin is like a rootless duckweed, or a stray dog, in the 'Battlefield of Gods'?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhiyan's gentle gaze flickered, and she asked with a hint of curiosity, "Why?"

Qiu Tu said, "If I'm not mistaken... perhaps, when a god-king completely conquers this world and gains full control over it, he can turn this world into his 'private territory.'"

"Regardless of whether this world is the world he was born in."

At this point, Qiu Tu paused for a moment, then continued, "As for those gods and god-kings who have lost their worlds..."

Qiu Tu glanced at Zhiyan, then said calmly, "Perhaps... they will no longer have infinite life, and after death, they will not be able to be resurrected or reincarnated."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Heavenly King Zhiyan's pupils contracted slightly.

The ability to reincarnate and be resurrected after death is the biggest difference between gods and other deities.

It can be said that only after becoming a god can a living being truly be immortal. This is why many living beings want to ascend to godhood.

However, Qiu Tu now says that once the world is destroyed, even if one becomes a god, there will be no way to be resurrected. This truly shocked Zhiyan.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu put his arm around Zhiyan's shoulder and said, "My guess is not without reason."

He said, "Of the gods from the 'Cataclysm of the Gods,' only Zephyr was resurrected; the others did not."

"The reason is simple. Because they all died outside the 'Boundless Sea of ​​the Heart.'"

"This proves that the immortality of gods is limited to the worlds in which they are deeply bound."

"So... once this world is conquered by other god-kings, and the bond between those gods and the world is severed by the god-kings, how will they be resurrected after their fall?"

When Zhiyan Tianwang heard Qiu Tu's words, she was stunned for a moment, and then nodded slightly.

This also explains why the god-kings were so keen on conquering new worlds. The reason is simple—with each additional world, they could control a group of gods and even god-kings through it.

It's understandable that the god-kings care so much about the "underground divine kingdom." After all... it's their "life box" for resurrection.

If they are destroyed, their resurrection may also be affected...

At this moment, seeing that Heavenly King Zhiyan understood, Qiu Tu patted Heavenly King Zhiyan on the shoulder and said, "Alright. Don't worry."

"Even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up."

"Furthermore... this afternoon, while you were learning about the Dragon King, Yaoqin also sent me a message. She said... Xiao Yuanyao has already left the 'Boundless Heart Sea' through special means and begun carrying out the plan."

At this point, Qiu Tu paused for a moment, then said with a smile, "If everything goes smoothly, the Starforging pantheon will no longer pose any threat..."

......

Meanwhile, in the battlefield of the gods, or rather, in the "ancient world."

A miniature Yuan Yao, shrunk to half her original size, was flying rapidly through the air.

Soon, they arrived at a small hill that was several tens of meters high.

Xiao Yuanyao didn't slow down at all and crashed straight into it.

Strangely enough, as she crashed into the mountain, space distorted, and Xiao Yuanyao's figure completely disappeared.

When Xiao Yuanyao opened her eyes again, she found herself in a world that was both chaotic and free.
