After all, in the eyes of most forces, the two sides of this fierce battle are the East and West God Kings against Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji.

Like the Northern God King, clearly He did not participate in the battle.

Why was He the first to fall?

Of course, some forces speculate: could it be that the Northern God King secretly participated in this decisive battle as a trump card for the four Divine Kings?

However, once this idea is born, they dismiss it, because the Northern God King simply does not qualify as a trump card!

As the weakest of the four Divine Kings, the Northern God King's strength is inferior to the other three God Kings by a large margin, and He cannot decisively affect the outcome of the battle.

If the four Divine Kings wanted to plot against Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji, hiding the Northern God King wouldn't be as effective as hiding the East God King Longchuan Ying.

More importantly.....if the Northern God King really sided with the East and West God Kings, it means Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji joined forces and slew three God Kings!

Such speculation is even more terrifying than the Northern God King being the trump card of the four Divine Kings.

After all.....the Heavenly God Trial is not over yet. Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji are still "Eighth Rank" Earth Deities, far from being Heavenly Gods or Divine Kings.

If the pair really joined forces to slay the true bodies of three Divine Kings, then how terrifying would their strength be?

It was precisely because the process of this great battle was unimaginable that, as soon as various forces realized that the situation was completely out of control, they began to dispatch scouts to understand the course of this battle....

Among all forces, perhaps only Tian Qi from the Western Kingdom and Shao Hua from the Southern Kingdom understood the insider details of this great battle the best.

Western Kingdom, Fog Hidden Association headquarters.

Tian Qi looked up at the shattered West God King statue, listening to his subordinate's report with a pale face.

Being a deep participant in this battle, he was the most knowledgeable about the strengths of both sides, so he easily reconstructed the whole course of the battle.

'It seems....Xi Yue under the crown has won!'

'How is this possible? She's only an eighth rank.'

'Could it be....there is indeed a pinnacle even at the eighth rank?'

Thinking this, Tian Qi's expression grew increasingly grim.

If it were only Zhao Ji, perhaps he wouldn't be so anxious now: although Zhao Ji is powerful, she's relatively casual in other matters. He's likely hiding his betrayal from Zhao Ji.

But....things change drastically with the addition of Qiu Tu.

Even though he has only dealt with Qiu Tu a few times, Tian Qi knows Qiu Tu has a perceptive mind.

With Qiu Tu's grasp on people's hearts, what he did can never be concealed from Qiu Tu.

'What should be done....'

Thinking this, Tian Qi's expression changed rapidly.

Shortly after, he furrowed his brows deeply, as if he had thought of something....

'Since there's no retreat. Perhaps I can only walk this path...'

'If I remember correctly, the West God King seemed to have told me before this battle began that he had left a backhand....'

'Maybe this can be used....'

.....

Meanwhile, in the Southern Kingdom.

Shao Hua gasped heavily, slumping into a chair.

She looked as if she had been pulled out of water, drenched all over.

Her thin clothes were soaked with sweat, tightly clinging to her body, accentuating her graceful figure.

Yet she was seeming oblivious.

She shook her head and muttered, "The feeling of dying is really unbearable!"

"I really bought into uncle's nonsense!"

Indeed, the one who helped Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji today was not Bai Yi, but Shao Hua.

That night, after Qiu Tu and Bai Yi finished talking, Bai Yi promised to help Qiu Tu but also made a request: he wanted Qiu Tu to keep calm and not inform Shao Hua. He wanted to see what choice Shao Hua would make and how she would resolve this crisis.

In short, Bai Yi cared very much about his niece and still wanted to hone her further.

And Shao Hua did not disappoint Bai Yi, deciding to come clean with Qiu Tu after discovering Bai Yi had tricked her.

She directly brought Bai Yi's Heavenly God clone "Panda Zhi Yi," then went to see Qiu Tu and made a deal with him.

She saw that Qiu Tu's plan at the time was to scare off the East and West God Kings, so....the appearance of the Southern God King's true body was not important, only the attitude needed to be shown.

Therefore, she offered her terms: she could act on behalf of the Southern God King, but Qiu Tu must keep silent about the Southern God King's disappearance and ensure the stability and safety of the "Southern Kingdom" after ascending to the Heavenly God.

Qiu Tu's primary aim was to divide the four Divine Kings, so he readily agreed.

Thus, today's "Panda Zhi Yi" was actually controlled by Shao Hua.

This also allowed her to perfectly experience being explosively overwhelmed by 12 Longchuan Ying at once.

Fortunately, her efforts bore results.....

Considering this, Shao Hua looked at the intelligence brought by her subordinates.

'The statues of the East, West, and North three God Kings shattered.'

'It seems....this battle has been won.'

Thinking this, Shao Hua couldn't help but look towards the "Northwestern Region."

Though she didn't know how Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji won this great battle.

She knows this was likely led by Qiu Tu.

Previously, when understanding the alliance between Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji, her thoughts were almost the same as those of other forces: Qiu Tu was reliant on Zhao Ji.

But after genuinely interacting, she realized....Qiu Tu was actually the leader of the alliance.

And in this great battle, she personally experienced the importance of the "brain" to an organization.
