"Plus, since he participated in this 'Heavenly God Trial,' he might know more information than we do."

"It's very likely that he knows the exact slots for the 'Heavenly God Trial.'"

Upon hearing Zhao Ji's words, an understanding flickered in Qiu Tu's eyes, as if he had thought of something, and he couldn't help but close his eyes to check Bai Yi's current ranking.

5th place.

If Qiu Tu remembered correctly, at the start of the 'Heavenly God Trial,' Bai Yi was already in 5th place....

Now, the list of the top 4 has undergone tremendous changes, yet he remains in 5th place.

Is this guy controlling his score?

If that's the case.....the slots for this 'Heavenly God Trial' should be 5?

Sometimes, information is that important. Zhao Ji's crucial reminder suddenly made Qiu Tu feel as if he could see through many things.

Thinking this, he couldn't help but look at Zhao Ji beside him, wanting to share his guess.

Just at this moment. Suddenly! Two immense auras and pressures surged in from afar like gigantic waves!

Even though they were still far apart, the pressure involuntarily instilled reverence in everyone! It was as if they were witnessing a lifeform at a level higher than ordinary beings, akin to gazing up at the 'World Origin'!

At that instant, Qiu Tu shuddered, then couldn't help but look at Zhao Ji.

At this moment, Zhao Ji happened to be looking at him as well.

Their eyes met, and they both saw the same word in each other's gaze: Here they come!

Sure enough, as both thought about it, the massive auras swiftly expanded around them, enveloping Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji.

At that moment, the air seemed to solidify, and everything around them became unusually silent under the deterrent power, as if they were the rulers of the world.

Qiu Tu possessed remarkable strength, yet he still felt chilled in the face of this majestic force.

Even having heard of the terrifying might of a Divine King, knowing beforehand that Divine Kings naturally carried such majesty, when truly facing it, Qiu Tu realized he had underestimated them.

It seemed like a biological instinctive fear, almost unrelated to strength.

At this point, Zhao Ji, feeling Qiu Tu's emotions, glanced at him subtly, then gently expanded her domain, softly encasing Qiu Tu within, directly isolating the Divine King's aura.

Although just at the Eighth Rank peak, Zhao Ji had once been at the Heavenly God Peak, having witnessed countless major storms, so even when confronting the Divine King's aura, she did not falter.

Like that, the first wave of probing was easily blocked.

Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji slowly stood up from the rooftop, gazing in the direction from which the two auras came.

Uncertain whether it was some magical cataclysmic ability or changes in heaven and earth caused by the arrival of the Divine King.

What came into view was a sky-blanketing black cloud. That black cloud was like tides, wave after wave, layering over Dragon Burying City, emanating a terrifying pressure. The entire Dragon Burying City appeared like doomsday.

However, as peak Eighth Rank Great Evil Gods, neither Qiu Tu nor Zhao Ji were deceived by that terrifying facade.

In contrast, their sight easily pierced through the layers of black fog, directly reaching Longchuan Ying, the East God King, and Tian Nu, the West God King, standing in the sky.

This time, to eliminate Zhao Ji, both had evidently brought out their greatest cards and sincerity: deploying their true bodies directly.

Their true bodies were somewhat different from their actual images.

The East God King wore a tight-fitting black outfit, slender in figure, with a ghost-face mask on her face. She appeared like a dangerous black rose, tempting one to pluck, yet harboring deadly peril.

While the West God King, dressed in a brown fur coat standing at two meters tall, had a golden large knife slung across, with a square face that looked both mighty and domineering.

The two displayed a dramatic contrast similar to beauty and the beast.

Compared to Zhao Ji, Qiu Tu was evidently more adept in interaction, so without waiting for Zhao Ji to speak, he proactively stepped forward, then faced the sky with layered rolling black clouds and began the pre-battle challenge,

"May I ask, Divine Kings, what brings you to Dragon Burying City today?"

As the strongest in this world, the East God King clearly possessed her own pride.

She did not let the West God King speak on her behalf but instead parted the black mist herself; with her hands behind her back, the sharp eyes beneath the ghost-face mask quietly watched Qiu Tu, then spoke,

"Qiu Tu, why I'm here, you should know better than anyone."

"So why ask deliberately?"

Saying this, her gaze fell onto Zhao Ji, then she continued, "Xi Yue, we once fought side by side in the past; you should know better than anyone about that time."

"Driving away the Heavenly Gods, severing the World Channel, letting this world stay away from the disputes of the 'Heavenly God Battlefield' is the best choice for all living beings in this world."

"And because of our choice, this world has been peaceful for hundreds of years." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

With her hands behind her back, no emotion in her eyes, she said, "I don't want this excellent situation to be destroyed by you."

"So, don't blame me. We're only trying to protect this world."

Zhao Ji, usually few of words, heard the East God King's words, Qiu Tu smiled faintly. He said, "Don't speak so nobly."

"What protect the world....your protection of the world is isolation and stagnation, isn't it?"

"Is this protection, or chronic suicide?"
