Let them offer their loyalty!
Chapter 901 - 452: Peak Fourth Order! (10,000 characters in search of Monthly Ticket!)_2

Sometimes, this could become a great weapon!

But, after understanding the two "Path Abilities" he had acquired, Qiu Tu inexplicably always felt a sense of déjà vu...

Why do these two "Path Abilities" seem a bit related or similar to his "Golden Finger"?

"Order Line" allows one to see the rules of Chaos and Order. Thus... when one discovers that the "Order Line" of a certain area becomes disorderly, one can deduce that this area might fall into Chaos, indicating potential danger.

Isn't this just a junior, yet amplified version of "Crisis Intuition"?

Likewise, "Camp Cloud" is similar. It allows one to see changes in allegiance, and heart's belongings, which is actually somewhat similar to "Loyalty Game".

Moreover... since it's not only possible to check the allegiance of one's subordinates and superiors but also to see other people's allegiances, this makes "Camp Cloud" also a junior, yet amplified version of "Loyalty Game"...

'This is indeed an interesting coincidence.'

Thinking this way, Qiu Tu came back from his thoughts.

Then he stretched lazily, and his body immediately made a series of crispy crackling sounds.

His main body had ascended to the Fourth Order, plus with the "Domain Master's" False Frame, Qiu Tu's strength directly soared to Peak Fourth Rank!

Now, looking around, there was no Fourth Order adversary in sight!

The only problem is... this was not without a price.

After ascending to Fourth Order, the life forms and the "Cataclysm Path" became more compatible.

Furthermore, with occasional use of "Path Abilities", the life forms would gradually become more assimilated by the path they belonged to.

According to Tang Feifei's description.

Fourth Order beings are like "Believers", while the Cataclysm Path is like an "Evil God".

The process of borrowing power is like being "possessed by an Evil God".

Thus, if this continues, eventually, the life form will become the "spokesperson" of their respective "Path" in the real world.

Their emotions and thoughts might be erased, knowing only to implement their "Path" in the real world.

This process is almost irreversible.

This is also why the Sanctuary does not encourage promotion based on power. The higher the power, the greater the risk.

Like the "Order" path is already one of the most benign paths, and even if it influences a bit, it does not heavily impact work.

But if there are officials of Destruction, Immortality, Mystery, and other paths, it could lead to a big mess.

Of course... there is a method to handle this influence, which is the "False Frame".

To transpose the power of the "Path" into the Positional Frame connected to the "Main Body", powerful Cataclysmic treasures, powerful Cataclysmic materials, Martial Arts Heart, and so on, and then enhance one's strength by borrowing their power.

This is known as a "Pseudo Fourth-Order Cataclysmic".

After chatting with Tang Feifei, Qiu Tu suddenly thought: since when ascending from Third to Fourth Order, one can inject the "Cataclysm Path" power into the "False Frame".

Then now... during a second promotion, could he continue to inject into the "False Frame"?

So, during this promotion, Qiu Tu almost channeled 80% of the power into the "False Frame" of the "Domain Master."

He only retained 20%.

Although this approach somewhat weakened his "Path Abilities", it also reduced the influence of the "Path".

However... Qiu Tu also knew.

This was destined to be just a temporary solution.

If he wanted to continue to be promoted and enhance his strength, his top priority was still to figure out a complete solution to the influence of the "Cataclysm Path"...

...

Standing at the edge of the island, with the sea breeze blowing and gazing at the shimmering sea surface.

Qiu Tu stood with his hands behind his back, quietly contemplating for over half an hour.

Due to too few clues, he had no other method right now, so he could only take one step at a time.

'Maybe... "Boundless Heart Sea - Core Region" has a method to solve this?'

'Or.... maybe someone like the Great Evil God, Zhao Ji, also has a method?'

If Zhao Ji, a Peak Fifth-Rank Great Evil God, had been influenced, she would have shown signs long ago...

Yet in Qiu Tu's few encounters with Zhao Ji, she still seemed normal, without the explosive temperament of the "Destruction" path.

This suggests that she might have a way to weaken the influence of the "Cataclysm Path", or even directly avoid it...

'Didn't expect that one day I would actually look forward to Zhao Ji's return?'

Thinking this way, Qiu Tu came back to his senses, then involuntarily shook his head.

After successfully enhancing his power, making himself an invincible existence at the Fourth Order, and reducing the negative impact brought by the upgrade, Qiu Tu knew that it was time to return to the real world.

So, he called the "Team Captain", gave him a few instructions, and then left the "Dock Sea Area" carrying "Red Hair", dragging "Red Hair's" personal soldiers along.

Upon reaching the "Xinjie Territory", Qiu Tu confidently walked to where the office of the Investigation Bureau Chief was located in the "Boundless Heart Sea" corresponding area.

Then... he flipped the world, returning to the real world!

As light and shadow reconfigured, the scene of his previous rest room appeared in front of Qiu Tu.

The familiar curtains, the familiar bedsheet, the familiar carpet, and the familiar naked girl on the carpet...

Wait a minute, this is unfamiliar! Who is this?

Thinking this way, Qiu Tu took a closer look, then realized... in front of him was none other than the new Investigation Bureau Chief, Ai Li.

At this moment, Ai Li had apparently just finished exercising, drenched in sweat, ready to take off her clothes to shower.
