After an ordinary catastrophe being obtains it, there is a chance they can refine out a "regional center" and gain area control rights.
So even... refine out incomplete "world official positions" and instantly soar to success.
So... compared to the Fifth Order "Boundless Divine Crystal," which can only be consud, the Sixth Order "Boundless Divine Crystal" is much more valuable.
Calculating it this way, the "earth vein flower" is truly worth a fortune.
Even more expensive than the "mountain root."
'I must obtain it! With it, the path before will be clear!'
Thinking this, Qiu Tu silently made up his mind.
Perhaps due to perceiving Qiu Tu's intention.
Muye, who had already divulged almost all the information he knew, stopped pretending.
Looking at Qiu Tu, he sneered, "Heh heh," before saying, "You're still scheming for the 'earth vein flower,' huh."
"Think about how you'll explain yourself to Zhao Ji without the 'mountain root.'
"That woman Zhao Ji? She's not the type to take jokes lightly or tolerate being toyed with."
"You've been stalling for days; sooner or later you'll have to face her, hahahaha."
Hearing Muye's words, Qiu Tu froze briefly, then turned his gaze toward Muye.
He pointed at himself and asked, "Muye, do you know what I've been doing these past few days?"
Muye paused before replying, "Advancing to Fifth Order, wasn't it?"
Qiu Tu said, "Yes, I delayed ti for the sake of advancing to Fifth Order."
"Now that I've ascended to Fifth Order, what do I have to fear?"
"Do you honestly think I can't stand against Zhao Ji?"
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Muye was montarily stunned before bursting into laughter.
Perhaps realizing that Qiu Tu wouldn't spare him, he now appeared truly fearless.
Pointing a finger at Qiu Tu, he said, "You? You think you're Zhao Ji's match?"
"Do you even know how strong she is?"
"Compared to her, you're like a firefly trying to shine against the brilliance of the moon—utterly delusional."
Hearing Muye's words, Qiu Tu laughed too.
Instead of directly responding, he said, "Every ti Zhao Ji's strength is brought up, even her defeated opponents can proudly puff out their chests."
Muye's face stiffened at Qiu Tu's mocking tone, and the words he wanted to say were swallowed back.
But unexpectedly, Qiu Tu spoke again.
He winked with his left eye at Muye and said, "However... Your Highness Muye, you're not wrong. I'm indeed not Zhao Ji's match."
"Just now, I was rely boasting, playing with you for fun."
Muye: ??
Qiu Tu said, "But... who told you I don't know the whereabouts of the 'mountain root'?"
"I do!"
Qiu Tu smiled and said, "Haven't you noticed? The information you divulged already revealed the whereabouts of the 'mountain root.'"
"Your Fog Hidden Association stationed two Sixth Tier Evil Gods in the 'edge region.'"
"Clearly, your Fog Hidden Association has access to channels or inventory for the 'mountain root.'
"So, all I need to do is inform Zhao Ji that the 'mountain root' is already in the hands of your Fog Hidden Association, held by the Area Manager."
"Then..." Qiu Tu spread his hands, "Won't everything be resolved?"
"As for whether Zhao Ji chooses to fight a Fifth Order against Sixth Tier or ultimately retreats..."
"That will be her own decision."
"In any case, no matter the outco, it'll likely buy more ti."
"And by then, once my strength grows, I probably won't look as pathetic as you..."
"Perhaps... if they do end up fighting, regardless of who dies, I can report to the Sanctuary that this was my 'drive the wolf to devour the tiger' achievent."
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Muye initially froze, but his expression quickly changed as he glared at Qiu Tu with furious eyes, ready to curse at him.
But then, at that mont, Qiu Tu spoke yet again...
"By the way, Your Highness. Do you rember that strange question I asked you earlier?"
"I asked you, given your position within the Fog Hidden Association, how many regions you could claim as territory."
Qiu Tu appeared to be asking a question, but didn't wait for Muye's response.
He answered himself, "I'm sure you rember."
"But you're surely wondering why I asked it."
Hearing this, Muye felt a faint sense of foreboding.
Qiu Tu closed his notebook, looking at Muye as his pupils slowly transford into a dense, inky darkness that seed impenetrable...
As Muye stared into Qiu Tu's utterly lightless pupils, he felt his thoughts grow sluggish, his mind increasingly tired and heavy.
Though aware sothing was amiss, he tried desperately to resist.
But... in the face of absolute power, willpower is futile.
Within two seconds, Muye lost consciousness.
At this mont, as Muye, encased in twenty crystal cages, fell into slumber.
Qiu Tu's "body" seed to open like a door, slowly revealing what lay within.
Instead, the inside of his open body was a sealed dinsion—no flesh, no organs—like a dinsional space superimposed upon his body.
Qiu Tu picked up the twenty crystal cages and placed them into that dinsional space.
The next mont, the "door" of his body slowly closed, and shortly after, Qiu Tu's form began to shift.
His hair transford, gradually turning white; his face elongated, his skin sagging, with nurous wrinkles forming.
His figure grew shorter and thinner...
Before long, he had transford into soone wearing ill-fitting clothes... Muye.
Stretching out a hand, the next mont, a stream of water flew toward him from afar, condensing in his palm into a mirror.
