Over the years, whenever the topic of "Bafang" comes up, everyone feels a bit wistful.

Everyone believed that world definitely existed, but it was extremely dangerous. And "Eight Directions" likely perished while exploring that new world.

Therefore, even now, there are still some powerful evil gods of the seventh or eighth rank searching for the so-called "world passage" in the area that was once the "Eight Directions Kingdom".

As it turned out, who could have imagined... that the "corpse" of "Bafang" would appear in front of him, and that it was brought out by the Northern God King.

This reveals a truly terrifying possibility: Bafang's death may not have been an accident at all, but rather a complete conspiracy.

Besides "Bafang", Shuigu, Qiyun, and Alton, whom the Northern God King just mentioned, were all prominent figures in the four great divine kingdoms.

These individuals were all prodigies and geniuses of their respective eras, wielding immense influence in their time.

Some of them died in accidents, some in battle, and some disappeared under mysterious circumstances.

And now... they've all ended up here together.

This discovery sent chills down Doris's spine.

Because if all of this is true, then it reveals an extremely terrifying truth: all these years, the four great god kings have been tacitly cultivating and hunting eighth-order peak evil gods!

The prodigies and geniuses of each era were legends to people of their time, but in the eyes of the Four Great Gods, they were nothing more than pigs to be harvested.

Thinking about this, Doris couldn't help but recall a rumor.

She remembered her father saying that while the rules of the "Trial of the Gods" were mostly random, there were certain patterns.

The simplest rule is that at any given time, there are at least several people in the "Boundless Sea of ​​Hearts" who have a chance to be promoted to Godhood.

If no one meets the requirements, or if only one or two evil gods have a chance of being promoted, then the "Trial of the Gods" will not be held.

After all, holding a "Trial of the Gods" requires a great deal of resources from the "Origin of the World".

Of course, when discussing this rule, Doris's father wasn't entirely sure either, only guessing that such a restriction would exist. Therefore, Doris didn't take it to heart.

As a result... looking back now, after the "Trials of the Gods" had been suspended for hundreds of years, Doris suddenly realized... that this might actually be true?

For the past few centuries, in order to prevent the birth of any celestial god, the four great god-kings have been supporting talented evil gods that they can control.

Once these gifted evil gods have absorbed the resources of the entire kingdom, other evil gods of the same era will naturally be suppressed.

Once these evil gods successfully advance to the peak of the eighth rank using these enormous resources, they will immediately become prey for the four great god-kings.

After they've used them, the Four God Kings will make their move, kill them, and then stage it as an accident, suicide, disappearance, battle, or something similar.

This would have three advantages: first, it would postpone the birth of the "Trial of the Gods"; second, it would eliminate potential threats; and third, it would allow for the continuous harvesting of resources.

And the eighth-tier peak "Boundless Divine Crystals" now laid out before him are irrefutable proof of everything.

Thinking this, Doris couldn't help but feel a chill. She already knew that the Four God-Kings were inhuman, but she never expected them to be this inhuman.

These four god-kings, who were clearly wary and on guard against each other, unexpectedly found themselves in perfect harmony when it came to suppressing newcomers.

What troubled Doris even more was...

Once the "Boundless Divine Crystal" is destroyed, it becomes very difficult to identify, and its aura gradually returns to pure "Cataclysmic Power".

However... when the Four Great God Kings gave him the "Boundless Divine Crystal," they did not destroy it, but deliberately left it for him.

This was certainly not their mistake. Rather...

Threats, demonstrations.

'They are taunting me and threatening me.'

Thinking about this, Doris herself felt uneasy. She realized that she seemed completely unprepared to be involved in such an intense war.

This "you die or I die" situation was something she, who had survived for hundreds of years, was really not used to.

At this moment, perhaps sensing Doris's bewildered and regretful emotions, Qiu Tu gently tightened his grip on Doris's hand.

Doris sensed Qiu Tu's movement and couldn't help but look up at him.

What catches the eye is still Qiu Tu's flawless acting skills.

Moreover, perhaps to complete the act, Qiu Tu even stuffed the grapes in his hand into Doris's mouth when Doris looked at him.

To outsiders, their actions appeared to be nothing more than Doris casually looking up to eat a grape during a conversation, with nothing unusual about it.

This also calmed Doris down for a moment.

A charming smile returned to her flawless white face. Then she looked at the Northern God King and said with a smile, "God Kings, you really have some clever methods."

"They actually prepared so many 'Boundless Divine Crystals' so early on."

"This is really beyond my expectations."

Upon hearing Doris's words, a smile appeared on the still boyish face of the Northern God King.

He looked at Doris and then said, "Since I've been so sincere, shouldn't you also keep your promise?"

As he spoke, his gaze fell on Qiu Tu, who was still acting.

Upon hearing the Northern God King's words, Doris winked alluringly and then said languidly, "God King, don't be in such a hurry. Qiu Tu, I haven't had enough fun yet. Can I play for two more days?"

Upon hearing Doris's words, the Northern God King chuckled softly, then stopped talking and picked up his teacup to drink.

He remained silent, but his entourage stepped forward, seemingly ready to break off all pretense and forcibly seize the property.

However, Doris suddenly changed her mind about this.

She said, "God King, look at you, you're in such a hurry again."

She said in a coquettish tone, "I mean I can't give Qiu Tu to you, but that doesn't mean I won't help you."

Upon hearing Doris's words, the Northern God King paused slightly, his emerald green eyes narrowing as he looked at Doris.

But Doris didn't explain; instead, she simply reached out her slender arm and hooked it around Qiu Tu's neck.

Qiu Tu obediently let her hook her neck around his neck like a bewitching enchantress, pulling him downwards.

Then... their faces got closer and closer until they finally touched.

The next second, Qiu Tu felt a warm, soft touch on his lips.

As their lips met, the air was filled with the aroma of roses and red wine.

Qiu Tu felt a slight tingling in his brain and a bit of a daze. The feeling was like the alluring effect of Doris's saliva, capable of producing a brief, psychedelic pleasure.

But... at the same time, Doris's voice also rang in his mind, "Calm down, stay calm."

Qiu Tu:? ?

At that moment, Qiu Tu did indeed suddenly wake up, but he was also cursing in his heart!

What the hell?! You were the one who suddenly unleashed your ultimate move and seduced me! Now you want me to calm down?

I wanted to calm down, but my brothers wouldn't let me.

Just then, as Qiu Tu was mentally ranting, the two separated with a soft "suck".

Doris's cheeks were as pink as cherry blossoms, and her eyes were as moist as water. She lazily and charmingly reached out and lifted Qiu Tu's chin, exhaling a breath of rose-scented air towards him.

Then, her eyes narrowed slightly, revealing an undisguised desire and smugness, and she asked, "Qiu Tu, tell me, where is Zhao Ji hiding now...?"

The kiss just now was indeed Doris's own idea, but this problem was something the two of them had planned long ago.

Upon hearing Doris's words, Qiu Tu's face immediately lit up with an infatuated expression. He looked at Doris with desire and then said, "Zhao Ji is... in the 5th Shelter in the Southwest Region."

"The most dangerous place is the safest place..."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the Northern God King frowned sharply.

Southwest region, the 5th shelter?

During this period, the God Kings had actually been paying close attention to the entire process of the "Trial of the Gods." Therefore, they knew that the "Mist Shadow Society" of Apocalypse, with the help of the Flame Weaver King, had taken over the 5th Sanctuary without bloodshed and then began to expand its influence in the "Southwest Region."

In order to contain Zhao Ji, the several god-kings have been communicating more frequently recently and have already learned about Zhao Ji's identity.

Having experienced the entire "Cataclysm of the Gods" back then, they actually had some understanding of Apocalypse, this little fanboy of Zephyr.

Therefore, in that instant, a bold conjecture was born in the mind of the Northern God King:

Could it be that... Tianqi was actually hedging his bets? Or perhaps he was secretly loyal to one side while serving another?

On the surface, he denounced Zhao Ji to the Western God King, expressing his loyalty. But in reality... he was secretly protecting Zhao Ji?

After all... as the whistleblower, no one would suspect that he would secretly protect Zhao Ji. Therefore, his area of ​​control would indeed become a blind spot.

In this way, he would have the opportunity to invest in a powerful god, to get closer to Zhao Ji, and even to have a chance to kiss her.

'That guy! He's really dishonest!'

Thinking this, the Northern God King got up and prepared to leave the "Crimson Territory" and then arrange for someone to investigate the situation of the "Hidden Mist Society".

Just then, a hand suddenly landed on his shoulder.

One of his burly attendants, as strong as an iron tower, said slowly, "Kitazawa, wait a moment."

Before Doris could react to the way the man addressed the Northern God King, Qiu Tu's pupils began to contract sharply.

Sure enough, the attendant spoke up the next second, "Don't you think... Doris is deliberately stalling for time?"

At this point, he glanced at Doris and Qiu Tu expressionlessly, "With that person's talent, breaking through a minor realm will only take three or four days at most."

"Yesterday was already a day wasted. If we waste another day today, by the time the investigation is completed tomorrow, we'll only have a dozen or so hours left."

"It's very likely that it will be too late."

"So... I'll have someone investigate 'Apocalypse' directly, and we'll wait for the results on-site."

Upon hearing him speak, everyone present turned their gaze to him.

Although due to the clone's appearance, the identity of the person in front of you cannot be determined by their appearance alone.

However, from his address to the Northern God King and his casual attitude towards Apocalypse, one can still guess this person's identity—the Western God King.

'You arrived so quickly?'

Qiu Tu and Doris exchanged a silent glance, both seeing the worry in each other's eyes.

Dealing with one God-King's celestial-level avatar is manageable. But two God-Kings' avatars are already a bit more difficult...

But if...

Before they could think any further...

Among the Northern God King's retinue, a petite woman spoke slowly in a hoarse voice that was neither male nor female, saying, "I agree with Tiannu's opinion."

She glanced at Qiu Tu and Doris expressionlessly, then said, "These two are stalling for time. Don't fall for it."

Upon hearing the woman's words, Qiu Tu's heart pounded.

Eastern God King!

The Eastern God King has come too!

As expected, none of those who become God-Kings are simple individuals. Although they managed to fool the Northern God-King yesterday, the three God-Kings arrived together the very next day and issued an ultimatum, giving no second chance whatsoever!

'Something's going to happen.'

'We must proceed with the second plan...'

At this moment, Doris was also a little frightened.

For hundreds of years, when have the four great god-kings ever joined forces?

Even though she had been warned by the Eastern God King beforehand, the Northern God King came to find her the very next day.

But in her heart, she still felt that this was more like a simple collaboration between two god-kings from a distance.

If they really get together, they will likely still be the same as before, wary and threatening each other.

But now, looking at the trio of gods—a young boy, a burly man, and a petite woman—Doris felt a chill run down her spine.

Chapter 682 Battle Against the God of Heaven! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Doris felt like she had really gotten herself into big trouble this time.

She had been staying in the "Crimson Territory" and developing peacefully. Every day she lived a happy life, free from worries about food and clothing, cursing the God King, and sleeping.

Although she had been thinking about and carrying out her plan to overthrow the Four Great God Kings, she had actually been secretly planning and doing it.
