Chapter 1683 - 694: Southern God King: As Expected of the One I Favor
"Of course, the reason she wasn't driven away is that you all couldn't do anything to her, and she herself chose to reincarnate and rebuild her strength."
Qiu Tu paused, then continued, "And more coincidentally, I happen to know several 'Heavenly God Reincarnations.' From them, I learned... 'Heavenly Gods' aren't necessarily from the same era. This means many 'Heavenly God Reincarnations' don't actually know each other." (Chapter 667)
Upon hearing this, the man in white couldn't help but show a look of sudden realization on his face. He responded,
"Normally, since the 'Heavenly Gods' from Zhao Ji's era aren't in this world, they couldn't possibly 'reincarnate' here."
"Therefore, theoretically, all 'Heavenly God Reincarnations' shouldn't know Zhao Ji."
Qiu Tu extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray with a smile and then said, "Yes."
"You know Zhao Ji and pay such close attention to Zhao Ji, so you must be someone from her era."
"Moreover, ever since Zhao Ji's fall, the world hasn't seen the birth of a 'Heavenly God' for hundreds of years. You couldn't possibly be a later breakthrough, only to fall again as a Heavenly God."
"So...."
The man in white gently continued, "So.... I can only be a God from Zhao Ji's era, one of the four Divine Kings."
Qiu Tu nodded, "Exactly. And I've also specifically investigated some of your background."
"Though you disguise it well, over the years, there's bound to be something unusual."
"For example, when Tian Qi bragged about his relationship with Zhao Ji, your strange expression, and so forth."
"These all show how familiar you are with them from back in the day."
"So, the only question left is, which of the four Divine Kings are you?" ๐ป๐โฏโฏ๐ค๐๐๐๐ฐ๐๐๐.๐ธ๐๐ฎ
At this point, Qiu Tu paused and then, looking at the man in white with a smile, said, "I probably don't need to spell it out, do I?"
"Among the four Divine Kings, only the Southern God King has been using a clone all these years."
"And this time, Zhao Ji and I touched on the interests of the four Divine Kings, potentially posing a threat, yet the Southern God King has shown no response."
"Naturally, I first suspect you to be the Southern God King."
After listening to the clues and logical analysis laid out by Qiu Tu, the man in white couldn't help but lightly clap his hands.
He smiled and said, "Impressive. As expected of someone I favor."
"You've deduced my identity with such limited information."
"Compared to Tian Qi, who still knows nothing about me, you are far more clever."
In the face of the man in white's compliments, Qiu Tu didn't take it to heart.
Since discovering the man in white's identity, Qiu Tu had known that this person was no simple character.
And having schemed for decades, he certainly wasn't doing it for fun, but rather playing a very significant game.
Until he figured out his ultimate goal, Qiu Tu would not let his guard down around him.
In fact, since learning of the man in white's identity, a question had been lingering in Qiu Tu's mind, which was: does his traversing have anything to do with the man in white?
Back in Xinjie, Qiu Tu actually realized that his crossing over had something to do with Larilo's descent, as well as Yan Chen's arrangement of the array to try to restrict Larilo.
At the time, Qiu Tu thought it all was just a coincidence or accident. So he didn't pay much attention to it.
But after knowing the man in white's identity, Qiu Tu found it really hard to dismiss everything as mere accident.
Of course, this question could only be buried in his mind for now and not be expressed directly.
So he didn't talk about it but instead hinted indirectly, "I'm just a little clever at best, knowing your identity was only a matter of luck. As for everything else, I'm utterly clueless."
"Just like....." Qiu Tu paused for a moment before finally saying, "I don't know why you are doing all of this."
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the man in white looked warmly at Qiu Tu, without directly answering his question, but instead asked back, "Care to guess?"
Qiu Tu sat in the chair, his gaze calm and steady. After a moment of quiet reflection, he slowly said,
"I guess.... you are searching for another path."
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, a slight hint of amusement appeared in the eyes of the man in white, "What kind of path?"
Qiu Tu didn't focus on the man in white's expression; all his hypotheses were based on logic and judgment, not guesses.
Micro expressions are useful for most people, but for a Divine King like the man in white, who had been through countless years and trials, they don't matter.
So, Qiu Tu silently analyzed, "Why you four Divine Kings chose to become such Pseudo-God Kings back then, I don't know."
"However.... it's quite clear that the path of the Pseudo-God King has its issues. While it makes you powerful, it also limits you."
"Therefore, you are trying everything possible to break free from this path and obtain rebirth."
After saying this, Qiu Tu looked at the man in white, his eyes carrying a hint of inquiry.
The man in white shook his head with a smile, "I can't tell you what I'm doing."
"But.... you can trust me, we, I, you, and Zhao Ji, will be friends, not enemies."
At this point, as if to express his sincerity, the man in white said, "I've already more or less guessed what you're trying to do."
"I can promise you that."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu blinked and then asked, "But can you still use the power of a Divine King?"
The man in white heard this, shook his head and said, "The power of a Divine King isn't necessary. A single clone will suffice."
"Longchuan Ying and Heavenly Fury aren't very clever; just a little intimidation will do."
