Chapter 964 - 471: Killing the Fifth Order Evil God! (10,000 characters asking for Monthly Ticket!)

Qiu Tu savoringly contemplated that sensation.

He felt it was different from the feeling of refining the "regional center" and becoming the "Domain Master."

The most fundamental difference was that... after refining the "regional center" and becoming the Domain Master, his consciousness was concentrated, and it directly soared to the sky, then spread outwards to encompass the whole region.

Whereas refining a region through the "Leyline Nodes" resulted in a dispersing consciousness that began to spread from the ground up!

As he thought about this, Qiu Tu noticed that his own breath began to spread rapidly from the Leyline Nodes, blossoming in multiple places, pervading the entire "Eternal Night Area."

Everywhere it reached, every thing was stained by Qiu Tu's breath, while the remaining breath of Muye was being rapidly cleared away!

And when everything was finished, Qiu Tu felt his consciousness finally began to merge into one. And then, in this dark world, he rose higher and higher!

Upon reaching the sky, Qiu Tu felt as though he had gained a new ability, that was to "Determine" the regional center.

He could merge the regional center with any object or creature in this dark world.

Then, with the power of the regional center, he could control the entire region more conveniently.

With this in mind, Qiu Tu hesitated for a moment before directly "reaching out" to pluck a wisp of aurora from the horizon, then he condensed the authority of the entire "Eternal Night Area" into that wisp of aurora!

As that wisp of aurora became the "regional center," it seemed to come alive, meandering through Qiu Tu's fingers.

Finally, with a thought from Qiu Tu, the wisp of aurora was swallowed into his belly.

When the "regional center" was condensed, the entire "Eternal Night Area" had also completely changed hands!

Qiu Tu immediately felt a surge of power enter his Domain Master's Fake Realm, making him even stronger!

It was just a pity that his "Fake Realm Power" was currently stuck at the Peak Fourth Rank, so it only made him slightly stronger, without achieving a qualitative change.

Thinking this way, Qiu Tu's consciousness slowly sunk down and returned to his body.

With eyes closed, quietly comprehending the power of the new region, Qiu Tu slowly opened his eyes.

Upon opening his eyes, Qiu Tu saw Zhao Ji standing on a small hill not far away, with her hands behind her back, gazing into the distance at the aurora, lost in thought.

Perhaps detecting Qiu Tu's awakening, or the change of ownership of the entire "Eternal Night Area," Zhao Ji slowly turned around, looked at Qiu Tu, and asked indifferently, "Success?"

Qiu Tu nodded, "I have become the Domain Master."

Zhao Ji's stunning face remained expressionless, "Muye is really patient, isn't he."

Hearing her words, Qiu Tu smiled, "I hope he can always remain patient."

Zhao Ji asked coldly, "So you can refine all his regions now?"

Qiu Tu shamelessly replied, "Indeed, that's the plan. With this, my path to the Peak Fifth Rank is completely clear."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji gave him a cold stare but said nothing more, merely stating dispassionately, "Let's go, to the next region."

"Let's see if your beautiful dream will come true."

Qiu Tu did not mind Zhao Ji's sarcasm. After all, he had obtained the region and became the Domain Master.

Together with the region of the "Team Captain," he now held three regions in his hand.

He had completed one-third of the path to the Peak Fifth Rank, in high spirits.

With that in mind, Qiu Tu stood up and followed Zhao Ji into the Mist Zone....

Once again entering the Mist Zone, Qiu Tu walked forward with Zhao Ji while asking, "Sister, I want to ask. What's the difference between the power of a Fake Realm and one's own power?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ji, while walking, coldly countered, "In front of you now, there is a gold bar and 1000 Silver Yuan, tell me, which can't you spend?"

Qiu Tu hesitated for a moment, "Both can be spent."

Zhao Ji said, "Right. That's 'Fake Realm' and 'Self.'"

"Both are your power; they just take different forms. There is no essential difference."

"As to how much power you can exert, that's up to your ability, that is, how you 'spend' it....."

"If you have the skill, you can make 1000 Silver Yuan work as if it were 10,000 Silver Yuan, a gold bar as if it were 10 gold bars."

"If you lack skill, no matter how much Silver Yuan and gold bars you have, you'll still end up losing everything."

It must be said, Zhao Ji's example was vivid and straightforward.

Therefore, Qiu Tu nodded in sudden realization—it made no difference.

Whether it's the Fake Realm or one's own strength, it was all his power, and he should just use it freely.

This surprised Qiu Tu a bit. In his previous life, where he watched anime and TV dramas, the Fake Realm, after all, was not one's own power, and it seemed to be always "inferior."

Could it be... this related to the essence of how this world operates?

Thinking this way, Qiu Tu pushed this doubt to the back of his mind.

In this manner, after following Zhao Ji through twists and turns, Qiu Tu came to a new region, the "Trading Area."

Having arrived at this region, Qiu Tu continued with Zhao Ji to start refining the Earth Vein Nodes!

Meanwhile, in the real world...

East Industry State - East City.

Inside the Parliament Building, Dai Yukang was in his office, communicating with Ye Mingfeng through Cataclysmic treasures,

"The Infiltration Plan is progressing rather smoothly for now, but... the counterattack from the Disaster Zone is too intense. It feels like we've kicked a beehive."
