Let them offer their loyalty!

Larilo suddenly felt that something was not quite right.

Although Qiu Tu's change of topic was smooth and logical,

after all... calculating the time, that test was indeed coming in the next few days. It coincided with the killing of the Whale Shark.

So, it made sense for Qiu Tu, after killing the Whale Shark, to suddenly notice an anomaly and start to think it had been caused by the death of the Whale Shark.

But... precisely because it was too logical, Larilo felt something was off.

In these past few months, she had suffered more losses from Qiu Tu than gains.

It was one thing after another, never-ending.

Therefore, she dared not take each of Qiu Tu's words as mere conversation, fearing that she might be sold out by him the moment she became careless.

Thinking of this, perhaps because her thoughts had become clearer.

For a moment, Larilo felt her mind was clearer.

She tried to make sense of the logic:

Since becoming a Fourth-order Catastrophe-evolver, Qiu Tu had not contacted her for two days.

And the last time he contacted her, it was also because he wanted to safely advance in Zhao Ji's Region.

Before that, when he didn't need her, Qiu Tu didn't contact her for days.

So, based on this pattern, Larilo could sharply infer Qiu Tu's mindset: as Qiu Tu became the Domain Master and grew stronger, her own position in his heart was becoming more and more insignificant.

So, unless Qiu Tu needed something from her, wanted some intelligence from her, otherwise he would not think of her...

Having confirmed this logic, the rest of the matter was simple.

Larilo just retraced the entire incident and discovered that Qiu Tu might have been intentionally baiting her to ask questions.

Thinking thus, Larilo felt for a moment that Qiu Tu was too cunning!

This man was more of an Evil God than an Evil God himself, always calculating three steps ahead and scheming with every move.

He had no intention of fulfilling his promises to her, but instead wanted to use the "Central Hub" to entice her, then take advantage of her for nothing!

'Simply too outrageous!'

'I mustn't be fooled!'

Thinking thus, Larilo's head slightly turned, and in her heart, she also thought of a strategy.

She suppressed the irritation in her heart, then sweetly smiled and deliberately said, "Qiu Tu~~ you don't have to worry about that."

"That's really nothing important, just a small test after becoming the Domain Master and Fourth-order Catastrophe-evolver."

"With me here, it's just a minor issue."

After speaking, Larilo's tone shifted, then she asked, "By the way, you said you would give me the 'Central Hub.' So... have you gotten it yet?"

"Is Xie Yue's 'Central Hub' carried with him?"

Qiu Tu, so shrewd, knew what Larilo was up to the moment she turned her back.

So, he immediately followed up, "Don't worry. I've already obtained it."

"Xie Yue's personality seems a bit arrogant and proud, so he indeed carried the 'Central Hub' on his person."

"As for his Central Hub, it's quite unique. It's a living golden beetle."

"A golden beetle?" Larilo was momentarily stunned upon hearing this.

Then she recalled the Bright Moon Area controlled by Xie Yue.

If she remembered correctly, the initial attribute of the Bright Moon Area was also the "Path of Life."

But compared to the Xinjie Territory, the Bright Moon Area had a special environment.

The night in this area lasted much longer than the day, with three-quarters of the day engulfed in darkness.

Various nocturnal creatures lived under the moonlight, making it an area very suitable for Xie Yue's Cataclysm Path.

And in that area, there indeed lived a type of golden beetle.

This type of beetle, covered in gold, had a shell featuring a moon and six stars, also known as "Star Moon Beetle," a valuable Cataclysmic Material.

And... generally speaking, the Central Hub was likely to match some "elements" in its region.

So... if the Central Hub of the Bright Moon Area was the "Star Moon Beetle," it indeed made sense.

So...

Had Qiu Tu really obtained the Central Hub of the Bright Moon Area?

Thinking of this, Larilo's gaze involuntarily wavered again.

Just when she wanted to continue her inquiry,

Qiu Tu, yet again, spoke up first.

Qiu Tu smiled and said, "So... your highness. What did you mean by the small test you just mentioned?"

Larilo paused upon hearing this and then finally spoke, "Actually... it's really nothing."

She carefully said, "As you know, the Evil God is the darling of heaven and earth. We are originally acknowledged Domain Masters by the World Origin."

"So... no matter how we change internally, the World Origin will not react."

"But if another Catastrophe being seizes our title of Domain Master."

"World Origin will issue a test."

"This test varies by individual, but most are just weakening buffs."

"For example... that yellow fog you saw, if I'm not wrong, every time it appears, doesn't it seem to drain your spiritual power?"

Hearing this, Qiu Tu quickly nodded.

Larilo nodded and then said, "This is one type of weakening buff."

"However, this situation won't last long. Usually, it only lasts for 1-2 months."

"After 2 months, if you manage to pass the test, you will completely recover to normal."

Saying this, Larilo paused, then added, "Of course, if during these two months, you fall due to reduced strength, then I'm sorry... you are considered to have failed the test."
