Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty! Chapter 1537 - 648: Tian Qi: I Met Zhao Ji Back Then

However... all living beings have the desire to seek knowledge. Even if we can't uncover the truth of past events, it's still worthwhile to explore a few more secrets.

So, upon hearing the word "Tian Qi," Shu Xia's thoughts stirred slightly, and he cautiously asked, "So... did President Tian Qi et that Zhao Ji back then?"

Hearing Shu Xia's words, Tian Qi responded nonchalantly, "We not only t but also worked together."

His eyes distant, he continued, "In those days, our relationship was quite good. We dined together, took walks together, and supported each other..."

Upon hearing Tian Qi's words, Shu Xia and Golden Lion exchanged a glance, and both read the sa phrase in each other's eyes: forr lover?

And with that thought, they imdiately understood the reason for Tian Qi's hand trembling earlier and his willingness to withdraw: he didn't want to engage in conflict with soone he was once close to!

Only... although they imagined it beautifully, they clearly missed the strange expression on the face of the man in white.

At the sa ti... Tian Qi's mories were in tumult. He felt as if he had returned to that great upheaval hundreds of years ago.

At that ti... he was rely a novice in the Sixth Rank, just acknowledged by the "World Origin" as a deity.

Although the "West God King" had beco a Heavenly God, he didn't possess the authority over the "core area" that he has today and was not at all prominent among over a hundred Heavenly Gods.

But that woman... she was one of the most dazzling among all the "Heavenly Gods!"

Not just him, even the West God King looked up to her, admired her, while she didn't care in the slightest.

A phrase often on her lips was, "Even among Heavenly Gods, there are differences." And... "Your hard work to beco a Heavenly God is just the threshold to see ."

How arrogant and self-confident.

She left an indelible impression on Tian Qi's heart at that ti.

Back then, because the West God King was assimilated into her camp, Tian Qi indirectly beca her subordinate and worked with her.

During their team's march, that woman once commanded everyone to sit down on the spot and eat together.

Because Tian Qi had never seen such a grand scene before, during a battle, he stumbled and was supported by that woman.

Thus, when he learned of her fall, his feelings were extrely complicated.

There was disbelief, sorrow, and... a slight sense of relief.

For her living was akin to the sorrow of everyone in her era. Everyone, including the Heavenly Gods, lived under her shadow.

No matter how high the achievent or talent, the sight of her made it hard to breathe.

Her death allowed everyone to take a breath.

Back then, many Heavenly Gods even fantasized: when a whale falls, all creatures thrive.

They imagined that the position, Cataclysm Path, and Cataclysmic Power she released after her death would benefit everyone.

In the end, no one expected that after all these years, instead of reaping benefits, the "World Origin" even began to strictly control the "Heavenly God Positional Fra," hardly opening the "Heavenly God Trial."

This "Heavenly God Trial" was already a rarity in recent years.

Who would have thought... she would appear here again...

With these thoughts, Tian Qi slowly ca back to his senses.

He glanced at Golden Lion and Shu Xia, who were exchanging looks.

Having lived so long and with such clarity of mind, he imdiately knew what they were thinking.

But he did not explain, after all... he was speaking the truth, only a bit idealized.

As for Golden Lion and Shu Xia's misunderstanding, that was their issue. Restricted by "World Limit," he couldn't explain anyway.

Thinking this, Tian Qi glanced at the man in white.

At this mont, the man in white was drinking tea, his face showing no expression.

As the forr confidant of the "West God King," Tian Qi had so understanding of the "Heavenly God Reincarnation."

These "Heavenly God Reincarnations" may not have fallen in any particular era or been "Heavenly Sealed" in any particular world.

Moreover, after reincarnation, their appearance and aura would change, so not recognizing Zhao Ji was quite normal.

This conveniently ant his embellished account wouldn't be exposed...

Thinking this, Tian Qi returned to his senses, scanned the three present again, and once more assud a dignified stance.

Leaning against the main seat, with an impassive face, he continued with authority, "Besides my past acquaintance with Zhao Ji, there are two other crucial reasons."

"The first reason is... compared to the Southeast Region, the Northeast Region is more severely affected."

"I estimate, soon, those 'Parasitic Creatures' will leap over the regional barriers and arrive in the Northwestern Region."

"By then, the larger the controlled range in the Northwestern Region, the greater the impact."

"We don't need to stand at the forefront at such tis."

"After all... ti is on our side."

"Just yesterday, the 'Edge Region' already witnessed 'World Sensing.'

"This indicates that it won't be long before the two regions fully rge, and by then, our power will receive a qualitative leap."

Pausing here, Tian Qi, with a serious face, continued, "The second reason is that Qiu Tu pretended to pledge allegiance to us before, clearly aiming to drown us in praise."

"He wanted to make us the target of everyone's hostility by abandoning the trial and joining the 'Fog Hidden Association.'

"He even accurately gauged my character, knowing that I have absolute confidence in my power and am indifferent to such intrigue."

"Therefore, even if I guess his intentions, I'd probably still face the challenge head-on."

"As for now... we've suddenly chosen to strategically withdraw..."
