Let them offer their loyalty!
Chapter 956 - 468: Peak Fifth Rank, Yet There are Differences! (10,000 words asking for Monthly Ticket)_2

Qiu Tu thought about Shen Lingshuang's "main body," which ostensibly had the strength of a peak Fourth Order, and blinked slightly.

Zhao Ji did not notice Qiu Tu's subtle expression and continued, "Additionally... there is another possibility."

Qiu Tu quickly played along, "What possibility?"

Zhao Ji said seriously, "Soul Split Cultivation."

"Soul Split Cultivation?" Qiu Tu muttered these four words.

Zhao Ji nodded and said, "It's a secret technique from the 'Boundless Heart Sea - Core Region'."

"When a being has been stuck at a difficult realm for many years,"

"It will split its own soul, allowing its soul to experience a new life, gain new insights, and take a different path."

"Until the timing is ripe, or the strength reaches a certain realm, will the split soul return to the main body."

"However, this technique has significant drawbacks. With every soul split, its strength greatly diminishes."

"Moreover, the threshold for this technique is very high, so unless it's a master from the 'Boundless Heart Sea - Core Region,' ordinary Catastrophic Creatures, or even Evil Gods, cannot utilize it."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, you can't either?"

Zhao Ji looked at Qiu Tu coldly and then nodded, "Even if I advance to the Sixth Order, I can't use it."

"So... the likelihood is still higher for the first two possibilities."

Qiu Tu nodded slightly. If this secret technique required such high standards, then indeed the probability would be quite low.

Without clear clues pointing in that direction, considering and verifying this possibility would just be a waste of time.

Thinking this way, Qiu Tu continued to inquire, "What about a passive soul split then?"

Zhao Ji swept her hair that fell onto her shoulders with her hand, her profound eyes like cold pools without any ripples,

"Passive cases are much more common."

"It might have encountered a great change, mental stimulation; possibly used by some Evil Gods or Cataclysmic Creatures using secret techniques or Cataclysmic abilities; possibly accidentally consumed or misused some Cataclysmic Potion, Cataclysm Props..."

"Just thinking about it, I can think of seven or eight possibilities."

Qiu Tu nodded slightly, his eyes revealing deep thought.

Either way, it can be confirmed that Shen Lingshuang is not 'Mountain Root', but a soul fragment.

With this, the fundamental conflict between myself and Zhao Ji is gone. What remains is just 'Drive the wolf to devour the tiger'!

Thinking this way, Qiu Tu regained his senses and then looked towards Zhao Ji, opening his mouth to speak, "Your Highness Zhao Ji."

"The people around me, you have already met them. And it's confirmed that 'Mountain Root' is not with me."

"So, you should now trust the loyalty of me and Little Lar, shouldn't you?"

Zhao Ji, like someone with an expressionless face, upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, her pale face showed no change.

In fact, she still did not directly answer Qiu Tu's question.

Instead, she inquired, "You, as well as Larilo, have absolutely no interest in 'Mountain Root'?"

Qiu Tu, when preparing the 'Drive the wolf to devour the tiger' plan, had already prepared his script.

He said, "Me and Little Lar, actually, were interested initially."

"But... later, we discovered two problems."

Zhao Ji, "What problems?"

Qiu Tu, "One is... we are only at the peak Fourth Order, and it's actually a Fake Peak Fourth Order, far from the time when 'Mountain Root' is needed."

"Two is... even if, we want to waste resources to fast-forward our advancement. We... still can't compete with Muye."

Zhao Ji's eyes fluctuated slightly, as if contemplating.

Qiu Tu, adept at striking while the iron is hot, seeing Zhao Ji finally swaying, added, "Besides, Your Highness."

"Actually... when in East City Area, in front of Little Lar, there were some things not very convenient to say."

"After all, it somewhat seemed like betraying her."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji involuntarily looked up. Although she remained silent, her gesture and expression were all too clear.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu coughed and awkwardly continued, "Actually, the reason we interrupted your advancement."

"Besides really wanting the best for you, hoping you could advance to Seventh Order sooner."

"It was also because... if 'Mountain Root' isn't obtained by you, it would definitely be obtained by Muye."

"When that time comes, he would become the only Sixth Tier Evil God in the 'Endless Heart Sea - Edge Region.'

"Then… who knows what he would do?"

"At that moment, he would indeed be the sole True God of the entire Edge Zone."

Qiu Tu was indeed spreading panic, but... it was also the truth.

When all Sixth Tier Evil Gods are confined within the 'Boundless Heart Sea - Core Region,' a newly arisen Sixth Tier Evil God can roam freely in the peripheral area.

Then, he would become the True God of the peripheral area, for no one could match Him.

And what's more important is... this also includes Zhao Ji who has failed to advance and returned from the 'Boundless Heart Sea - Core\\Domain.'

And even more crucial is... in Qiu Tu's words, there actually lies an ominous future.

Zhao Ji, as a Peak Fifth Rank Great Evil God, is already one of the strongest in the entire peripheral region.

A mountain cannot contain two tigers. Muye, in order to avoid Zhao Ji, had even been secretly hiding his identity.

But once Muye successfully advances to Sixth Tier, would he allow Zhao Ji to cultivate in his domain?

And would Zhao Ji be a match for a Sixth Tier Evil God?

Indeed, following Qiu Tu's implication, Zhao Ji's expression finally changed slightly.

Clearly, she had also considered this point.

When she returns to Dongye State, and her identity is exposed, she and Muye might only have one victor.
