Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty! Chapter 995 - 481: Promoted to Peak Fourth Rank! (10,000 Wor

Moreover, after two years of assessnt, a few leaders have determined that Huang Shangzong is more suitable for pioneering, but not for maintaining stability.

Therefore, they swapped the states under the two's administration—Qiu Tu beca the Speaker of Dongye State, while Huang Shangzong beca the Speaker of New State.

In fact, Qiu Tu had even deeper considerations.

Perhaps... this decision also took "security" into account.

If Qiu Tu were in charge of New State, which borders the Disaster Zone, while still maintaining many confidants in Dongye State...

Once Qiu Tu succumbs to corruption, degeneration, or if his "Controlling Evil Gods" plan fails...

It could very likely lead to the collapse of multiple states, throwing the situation into uncontrollable chaos.

But now, with Huang Shangzong managing New State and facing off against the Disaster Zone, Qiu Tu can focus on his "Evil God Experint" in Dongye State.

Even if Qiu Tu degenerates or his plan fails...

With New State acting as a barrier and reinforcents from other neighboring states, the situation could be easily contained.

'Old Rao and Elder Tang's strategies are truly remarkable....'

'With just a simple personnel arrangent, they demonstrate their foresight and composure.'

'Looks like in the coming days, I'll be wedged between the Sanctuary and the Evil Gods, striving to maintain a delicate balance.'

Thinking this, Qiu Tu finishes his cigarette and doesn't delay further; he begins preparing for the final requirent to ascend to Fifth Rank.

—The main body ascension to Peak Fourth Rank!

To advance to the realm of Fifth-Order Catastrophic Beings, two conditions must be t.

1. The main body's strength must reach Peak Fourth Rank.

2. One must possess ownership of a "Boundless Heart Sea Region" and beco its "Domain Master."

Qiu Tu had long completed the second condition. What has been holding him back is the first condition.

After all, his Cataclysm Path is "Order-Politics."

Without a promotion in position, relying solely on personal cultivation is far too slow.

But now, with his successful ascension as Speaker of Dongye State, it's ti to elevate his power and complete the final necessary condition!

With that thought, Qiu Tu wastes no ti and imdiately calls for Tao Yaoyao.

After instructing her not to let anyone disturb him, Qiu Tu locks the door from inside, sits on the sofa, closes his eyes, and begins releasing his suppressed realm!

As Qiu Tu releases his suppression, he instantly feels the "Domain Master" False Fra being temporarily stripped away.

Without the False Fra's amplification, his strength plumts rapidly.

Soon, it drops from Peak Fourth Rank to Early Fourth Rank.

At that mont, he feels his body undergoing a series of transformations.

His spirit grows increasingly resilient, and his physical form, entirely constructed of spiritual power, begins to solidify and strengthen.

Simultaneously, his body turns into a vortex, seemingly pulling in the surrounding Cataclysmic Power without end!

His montum starts climbing steadily!

Mid Fourth Rank, Late Fourth Rank, Peak Fourth Rank!

Soon, after who knows how long—it may have been an hour, or perhaps five or six hours—

When Qiu Tu opens his eyes, a powerful energy surges forth from him.

Though still slightly weaker than his peak form, it is undeniably Peak Fourth Rank!

anwhile, the Domain Master False Fras begin re-attaching themselves to Qiu Tu, one after another.

Currently, Qiu Tu controls six regions, three of which he directly oversees.

Thus, when the three Domain Master False Fras attach themselves one by one to him...

Qiu Tu can clearly feel his strength continuing to grow!

However, the rate of increase isn't particularly rapid—each additional False Fra enhances his power by about 10%.

Nonetheless, since Qiu Tu has yet to perform the Fifth Rank ascension ritual, his strength remains at Peak Fourth Rank.

'Peak upon peak?'

'Is this... the fundantal reason why Zhao Ji once looked down on Butterfly, Wei Bei, and Muye?'

Although they were all Fifth Rank, even Fifth Rank peaks—Muye relied on the support of the Domain Master False Fras to reach that level.

But Zhao Ji was a genuine Peak Fifth Rank, with an additional eight Domain Master False Fras layered subsequently?

'No... that's not right.'

Recalling the power disparity between the two Evil Gods, Qiu Tu feels that re reliance on eight Domain Master False Fras couldn't account for the vast difference between Zhao Ji and Muye.

'After advancing to Fifth Rank, there must be other thods for enhancent.'

'This is what creates an absolutely overwhelming gap.'

Though he envies Zhao Ji's "peak beyond peak" strength, Qiu Tu doesn't feel the urge to imitate her.

After all, his Cataclysmic ability "Order Space" guarantees him invincibility at the sa level.

Thus, elevating his realm quickly remains his top priority.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu works to calm the boiling Cataclysmic Power within himself.

Now, his main body has reached Peak Fourth Rank, and he possesses the Domain Master title.

All that's left is obtaining the thod to beco a Fifth-Order Catastrophic Being...

And regarding this, Qiu Tu has already made arrangents.

With that thought, Qiu Tu stands up, walks to his desk, picks up the landline phone, and prepares to make a call.

Suddenly, his constantly extended spiritual power picks up sothing.

"Hello, Miss. How did you get here? Do you have an appointnt?"

"I have an appointnt. My na is Qin Shuman. Please help confirm it with Speaker Qiu."

"Qin Shuman... Miss Qin, I'm sorry, but I couldn't find your appointnt record. Additionally, the Speaker is currently resting and is unavailable..."

Upon hearing the conversation at the door, Qiu Tu extends his spiritual power toward the scene and sees a familiar yet long-missed figure confidently negotiating with Tao Yaoyao.
