Let them offer their loyalty!

This is the Evil God Cultist that Qiu Tu captured and killed by setting up a false plot to gather the "earth vein flower" a while ago.

Because there was no emotional attachment, and the opponent had indeed betrayed humanity during their lifetime and wanted to be an enemy with him. Thus, Qiu Tu felt no psychological burden in transforming their power...

Thinking this, Qiu Tu pointed his finger.

The next second, one of the Third-Order Peak Evil God Cultist directly wailed in agony, and then their whole body began to twist.

At the same time, Zhu Huoyan's strength began to soar again.

Soon, it broke through to Second Order... Second Rank Middle Stage... reaching Second-order Peak.

"It really is a magical ability."

The only problem is... it consumes quite a bit of resources, and it costs people.

You must know, after experimenting for a while, Qiu Tu discovered that the Dark Soldier whose power was extracted could not restore their strength.

It's as if his highest cultivation was taken away by someone.

'It seems... this ability still can't be used frequently.'

'It can only be used when encountering someone who needs punishment, or someone who needs power enhancement...'

Thinking this, Qiu Tu temporarily hid this ability and then began to study the impact of "Energy Level Area" promotion on himself.

Qiu Tu's personal strength is currently just entering the Fifth Rank. According to his estimates, becoming a Supreme Council Member should be able to rise to Mid Fifth Rank Stage; becoming the head should reach Peak Fifth Rank.

And the few regions he acquired during this period have been steadily enhancing his strength.

Previously, relying on four regions, his strength could reach Mid Fifth Rank Stage.

Now he added another region, and specifically a "Level 2 energy" region.

Qiu Tu felt that with the addition of the false frame, he might likely have reached Peak Fifth Rank power.

'Peak Fifth Rank...' muttering about his strength, Qiu Tu couldn't help but recall the words Zhao Ji said back then.

"Peak Fifth Rank also has gaps."

At the time, Qiu Tu thought she was bragging, but later discovered... she was genuinely impressive.

And now, he also relied on the false frame to reach Peak Fifth Rank.

Not knowing how much difference there is between Zhao Ji's Peak Fifth Rank and his own.

Also unsure... if his "Order Space" would come at a smaller cost when facing her.

Not making him have to choose to beg for mercy, or... perish together.

Because of this thought, Qiu Tu is indeed quite looking forward to a one-on-one showdown with Zhao Ji.

Of course... if Larilo is willing to join, then Qiu Tu wouldn't mind taking on two...

Thinking this, after sorting through the full enhancement of the Energy Level Area, Qiu Tu came back to his senses.

As a result, just as he came back to his senses, he felt a bit chilly down below.

Then he saw Larilo licking him like an ice-cream cone, and savoring it.

At times like this, Qiu Tu could hardly hold back, so with Larilo's support, he poured all his dense longing, white love onto Larilo.

And Larilo, transformed into a gold-devouring beast, swallowed Every last bit of Qiu Tu's billions of continuations...

Although Qiu Tu, until now, hadn't had any incidents with Larilo. But... his body seemed to be in a constant state of being drained...

...

In chaotic times, what is most important?

Strength is most important.

This strength includes military power, financial power, territories, etc., but also includes personal strength.

Especially now, Qiu Tu is facing Fifth Order Evil Gods, Sixth Rank Evil Gods, and... Zhao Ji.

Qiu Tu needs to further enhance his strength to ensure his safety.

Now with the successful promotion of "Energy Level Area," and his reliance on the false frame, his strength has reached Peak Fifth Rank.

At least ordinary Fifth Order Evil Gods and Catastrophe beings will no longer be his match.

Even, if he performs well enough, he could be like Zhao Ji, defeating enemies in one strike!

Therefore... the only thing he needs to worry about now is not encountering that Sixth Rank Evil God, Night Demon girl...

Otherwise, his "Order Space" would be invalid and he'd become like a child...

With this thought, after the upgrade was complete, Qiu Tu checked the time, found it was time to work, and left the "East Asia Region," returning to the real world.

However, what he did not notice was. Whether Larilo the gold-devouring beast sensed Qiu Tu's concerns and worries.

When looking up at Qiu Tu, Larilo's eyes carried quite a bit of contemplation...

....

The next day almost nothing happened.

Qiu Tu worked diligently, sometimes meeting with the heads of various departments of Dongye State, and the high-level officials of various cities.

With the "Loyalty Game," it was very easy for Qiu Tu to distinguish who was inclined to ally with him, and who was being hypocritical.

Afterwards, synthesizing these people's abilities, Qiu Tu quickly began making slight adjustments to Dongye State's various departments and cities on the excuse that "Huang Shangzong brought troops to Dongye State and the cities along the way failed to block them."

Overall, apart from those high-level officials of a few cities along the way who were dismissed from their positions in parliament, others were just lateral transfers.

They were not targeted.

But positions of the same level, different jobs, hold different amounts of power.

With subtle adjustments, Qiu Tu's control over Dongye State skyrocketed...

....

And just as Qiu Tu was gradually consolidating power in Dongye State.

A major event was happening in the Disaster Zone bordering the New State...

At some point, a belief in "Night Demon" began to spread in the Disaster Zone.
