Chapter 1862: Chapter 746: Is Zhao Ji Jealous?

After all.... similar to other "Boundless Divine Crystals," only when a catastrophe being falls, can its essence transform into a "Boundless Divine Crystal."

And a God King level "Boundless Divine Crystal" can only be obtained after a God King falls.

A God King truly stands at the pinnacle of all worlds and beings, true powerhouses, and even within the Six Great Camps, they are at the true core level. The death of one is a significant event.

Moreover, above the Heavenly God, using ordinary "Boundless Divine Crystals" for cultivation and recovery begins to have diminishing effects. A God King level "Boundless Divine Crystal," however, has an accelerating effect.

Thus, this also makes a God King level "Boundless Divine Crystal" extremely precious.

"Indeed, a grand gesture." Hearing Qiu Tu’s exclamation, Zhao Ji nodded slightly.

However, compared to Qiu Tu’s simple amazement, she thought much more.

’Is it a provocation? Or a demonstration?’

Zhao Ji’s eyes, deep as a cold pond, became solemn and serious, ’or.... is it deliberately provoking me.’

The figure of Jasmine appeared before her eyes, the figure slowly overlapping with the one from centuries ago.

’Is... it her?’

While Zhao Ji was pondering this, downstairs, Yao Qin and Candle Dance were holding gifts, discussing Jasmine.

Candle Dance shook her red snake head, then said, "I was being foolish just now. How could that girl be a schemer? She’s just our good sister."

"From now on, if anyone bullies her, I won’t stand for it."

Hearing Candle Dance’s resolute words, Yao Qin glanced at her and then asked, "What if it’s Zhao Ji?"

Candle Dance clicked her tongue, lowered her head, stuffed an entire apple in her mouth, and said while swallowing, "That’s a different price."

Hearing this, Yao Qin couldn’t help but laugh.

After dealing with the report from Qing Lan, Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji on the rooftop began to inspect the "trading chips" that Jasmine had given to Qiu Tu.

It must be said, Old Bai’s credibility is trustworthy. He promised to give Qiu Tu 10 Heavenly Gods of the "Order Path" to help Qiu Tu ascend to God King, and he indeed delivered.

He promised to fulfill half of Qiu Tu’s exorbitant resource demands, and he fulfilled them abundantly, if not more.

Added to what Jasmine mentioned, this special treasure made from "World Core" that can contain living beings, the "Beauty of Rivers and Mountains Card," Old Bai has indeed shown sincerity.

After taking out all the materials, Qiu Tu didn’t delay, directly dividing the resources with Zhao Ji, then prepared to return to make their respective breakthroughs.

Qiu Tu aimed to ascend to God King, while Zhao Ji aimed to break through to the peak of Heavenly God.

Returning to his room, Qiu Tu placed the 10 unconscious "Order Path" Heavenly Gods on the ground.

Heavenly Gods, eight males, two females.

Qiu Tu inspected them one by one, finding that their strength was mainly concentrated in the primary and intermediate Heavenly God realms, with only one male Heavenly God reaching the peak Heavenly God realm, with considerable power.

Normally, this realm should be the backbone force in the "Order Temple." But due to the war, he was merely a "war trophy."

This is the cruelty of war.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu also checked the clothing and items of these Heavenly Gods.

From the clothing of these 10 Heavenly Gods, Qiu Tu found a five-pointed star mark. This is the hallmark of the Star Casting Divine System.

’It seems... they are all subordinates of the Star Casting God King.’

’In this way.... devouring them poses no psychological burden.’

’After all, it was they who first invaded and provoked us....’

Thinking this, Qiu Tu followed the method for devouring "Heavenly Gods" taught by Zhao Ji to try and devour the 10 Heavenly Gods before him.

A God King, the king of the divine system. Essentially the true master of a divine system.

Therefore.... for a Heavenly God to ascend to God King, the core is about expanding authority and annexing paths.

And to expand authority and annex paths, there are two methods.

The first is "subjugation" of Heavenly Gods.

This is currently the most used and convenient method for ascension.

Generally, a prospective God King would form contracts with other Heavenly Gods to gain their allegiance.

This way, the prospective God King could indirectly control their "Cataclysm Path," then craft their own divine system, and eventually ascend to God King.

This method has two drawbacks.

Firstly.... a vassal of a vassal is not my vassal.

So.... using a Heavenly God decreases the number of available ones. They cannot be infinitely added.

For instance, Qing Lan, Shao Hua, and Doris. Since they pledged allegiance to Yao Qin, unless they sever ties with Yao Qin, they cannot pledge allegiance to Qiu Tu.

While Yao Qin can pledge allegiance to Qiu Tu, she only represents herself. Therefore, Qiu Tu has only 1 follower.

The second method is "devouring."

This method is most beneficial to the prospective God King, though it is also the most troublesome.

Like the first method, although simple, followers risking injury or a decrease in strength could sever the relationship.

And if too many followers escape, the God King’s realm might even fall.

The second method is different. Devouring the Heavenly God, absorbing the "Cataclysm Path" contained within their body.

This way, all power resides within oneself. There’s no need to worry about follower betrayal.

Of course, this approach has its downsides, namely its hassle.

Because not all Heavenly Gods can be "devoured."

Besides "similar Cataclysm Paths" or "similar races" can be freely devoured, other paths or races depend on compatibility.

Many paths or races might not be compatible with a prospective God King.

Beyond needing compatible paths and races, the most crucial for devouring a Heavenly God is.... the Heavenly God must be alive.

They cannot be a corpse during devouring, let alone a "Boundless Divine Crystal." It must be a living Heavenly God.

This necessitates capturing these Heavenly Gods alive, which is where the second method’s difficulty lies.

Fortunately, the most challenging step has been done by Old Bai and the others for Qiu Tu.

Therefore, Qiu Tu only needs to patiently devour and ascend.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu no longer delayed, directly encapsulating eight unconscious Heavenly Gods, leaving only two Heavenly Gods, and began to devour....

.....

Meanwhile.

While Qiu Tu was sprinting towards becoming a God King, Zhao Ji was layering various arrays with different effects in her room.

Then Zhao Ji directly poured out the resources given by Qiu Tu and began to cultivate vigorously.

Qiu Tu’s rapid progress gave her an intense sense of urgency.

Someone who never fell short to others, how could she accept Qiu Tu surpassing her.

Previously, the speed of her ascent was hindered by resources. Now, with Qiu Tu replenishing her resources, only a clear path lies ahead of her.

Thinking this, Zhao Ji couldn’t help but calm her mind and begin to focus on cultivating....

.....

And so, in the blink of an eye, seven days passed.

During these seven days, the Chaos Camp and the Order Temple were fiercely engaged in battle, locked in a stalemate.

At the request of the Star Casting God King, the "Order Temple" again dispatched reinforcements.

Unfortunately, the Chaos Camp has no shortage of manpower. Thus, "Order Temple" increased their troops, and so did they.

As a result, both sides became deadlocked once more.

After the reinforcements failed to achieve good results, the "Order Temple" clearly began to seriously consider whether this great war was still worth continuing and how to bring it to an end....

Amidst this stalemate, a golden light shot skyward from Qiu Tu’s room! Then, a vast aura began to spread from Qiu Tu’s room in all directions!
