"Now, apart from the 2nd Sanctuary, I have unified the human forces."

"Originally, I thought this path would lead to a dead end."

"But... this time, the 'Heavenly God Trial' has given me some insight."

"My forces don't necessarily need to be limited to humans. I can certainly bring all races like the Evil God, Tree Demon, and Sky Wing Clan under my banner."

"Although I've become the supreme ruler of a force, I can govern more territories, more beings."

"Therefore, I intend to unify the three Divine Countries and then see if I can progress further."

Saying this, Qiu Tu paused for a moment and then added, "This time, we can say we've won big at the 'Heavenly God Trial'."

"Six new Heavenly Gods, most of them belong to our camp."

"But, the more it comes to times like these, the more cautious we must be."

"Therefore, I discussed with Zhao Ji and Qing Lan, and decided that Zhao Ji and Qing Lan should ascend to Heavenly Gods first, while I provide backup."

"After they ascend to Heavenly Gods, then it's my turn to ascend."

"So during this period, let's make a great effort!"

Qiu Tu's gaze was sharp, filled with ambitious intent, "The era of the Divine King is over, the upcoming era belongs to us!"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's encouragement, smiles appeared on the faces of several women.

Seeing this, Man Huang couldn't help but glance at Shu Xia.

Shu Xia had clearly been successfully brainwashed, so upon hearing Qiu Tu's grand vision, his eyes were filled with excitement and anticipation, as if he was eager to sacrifice himself for Qiu Tu.

Seeing this, Man Huang withdrew his gaze, sighing slightly in his heart...

To be honest, if Man Huang had seen Shu Xia in such a state before the Divine King's fall, he would have certainly tried to take Shu Xia and run as far away as possible.

But now... the entire 'Boundless Heart Sea' seemingly is about to become Qiu Tu's possession.

Under these circumstances, Man Huang genuinely does not know if Shu Xia's situation is good or bad...

'Our era...?'

'Perhaps... completely relying on Qiu Tu is the true way to embrace this era?'

Thinking so, Man Huang couldn't help but become a bit lost...

.....

After sending off several confidants, who were dispatched to strategize for the Eastern, Western, and Northern Kingdoms according to his plan, Qiu Tu returned to his office, stepping to the window.

Feeling the 'Heavenly God's Positional Frame' slowly releasing energy within him, Qiu Tu's gaze turned somewhat deep.

He didn't deceive his confidants; he and Zhao Ji, Qing Lan indeed planned to take turns ascending to Heavenly Gods.

However... the reason isn't that simple.

The reason Qiu Tu holds back is that he has not annexed the 2nd Sanctuary, nor unified the human camp, causing his Eighth Rank Peak to be less than perfect.

More importantly, it's the information revealed in this 'Heavenly God Trial.'

Just like the previous analysis Qiu Tu made: the quota for Heavenly Gods is flexible.

If a Divine King unified the entire path, completely possessed that path, then the 'Heavenly God Trial' would no longer be held.

Conversely, when the quota for the 'Heavenly God Trial' is significantly greater than before, it also indicates that the number of Heavenly Gods possessing 'the path' is far from sufficient.

Hence, the 'World Origin' would conduct a large-scale deification to fill the gaps, stimulating the birth of a 'Divine King,' or causing the 'Divine King' to devour more Heavenly Gods.

But do note, a few hundred years ago, at the time of the 'Heavenly God's Cataclysm', Zhao Ji considered the 'Divine King's Struggle' then had already entered the mid-to-late phase.

Yet, several hundred years have passed, and the number of Heavenly Gods has become insufficient?

This seems... not a good sign.

'Could it be that something unexpected occurred in the 'Heavenly God Battlefield'?'

Thinking so, Qiu Tu clutched his hands behind his back, his gaze becoming profoundly deep.....

....

Meanwhile, amidst Qiu Tu's preparations to establish his dominion over the three Divine Countries.

Western Kingdom, Mandala Desert, underground temple.

Tian Qi held his head, face contorted as he rolled around the ground.

Both howling miserably from pain, he furiously cursed, "You beast! You actually wish to devour your own brother!"

"You madman! I will not let you go for eternity!"

Possibly from pain, he crazily knocked his head against the temple floor!

Once! Twice! Thrice!

The head of the Eighth Rank Peak Great Evil God shattered the temple tiles, but his head was also covered in blood, seemingly horrifying.

Like this, he smashed dozens of times, Tian Qi's movements finally slowed down.

After a moment, his body trembled a few times, his actions suddenly halted.

Seconds later, 'Tian Qi' slowly straightened up, the smile on his face grew colder, paired with his blood-stained countenance, it appeared extremely terrifying.

Waving his hand, he pulled out a handkerchief, 'Tian Qi' wiped the blood from his forehead, then spat out blood phlegm.

Tossing the blood-stained handkerchief on the ground, 'Tian Qi' said slowly, "A component must have the awareness of a component."

"Being a part of me, how could it be anything less than an honor? Actually cursing me, truly ungrateful."

"However... nurturing him for so many years wasn't without use."

"The same root, same source Eighth Rank Peak Deity, truly supplements well. Saving me hundreds of years in time."

Evidently, just now, the president of the 'Fog Hidden Association', the Eighth Rank Peak Great Evil God, had been devoured. And now manipulating this body is the 'West God King' who devoured him....

After pondering, the West God King looked up towards the top of the temple, eyes flickering, "Now three Divine Kings have fallen."

"The newly ascended Heavenly Gods nearly all relate to Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji. It can be said that now the 'Boundless Heart Sea' sees Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji overwhelmingly dominant."

"Even though I've escaped the shackles of the Divine King, I still cannot stand firm in the 'Boundless Heart Sea.'

"Therefore, to break the deadlock, the only method..... is to introduce foreign enemies."

Pondering so, the West God King's gaze shimmered with a dangerous light.

"Heavenly God Battlefield.... hahahah...."

.....

The influence of the 'Heavenly God Trial' was substantial. Even more so than the fall of the three Divine Kings.

After all, it marked the first emergence of Heavenly Gods in several hundred years.

This not only signified a massive shift in the isolation of forces within the 'Boundless Heart Sea' but also revealed that the path upward from the Eighth Rank Peak had completely opened. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

The only unfortunate aspect was that most of the six newly ascended quasi-Heavenly Gods were linked to Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji's camp.

This left them almost devoid of any spirit of resistance.

So, during Zhao Ji, Qing Lan, Doris, Shao Hua, and Bai Yi's ascension to Heavenly Gods, Qiu Tu's plan to subdue the three Divine Countries progressed exceedingly smoothly.

.....

Western Kingdom, 2nd Sanctuary.

Zhi Yan Heavenly King's villa. Li Feng sat opposite his mother.

"Mom, I'm here on Qiu Tu's orders to negotiate with you."

"Qiu Tu wishes for the 2nd Sanctuary to be incorporated into the Human Alliance, and hopes you can help us control the 'Fog Hidden Association' and the 'Western Kingdom.'"

"Now with the West God King dead, the Western Kingdom is leaderless, it's a prime opportunity for humanity."

Upon hearing Li Feng's final words, Zhi Yan Heavenly King's gaze suddenly became complex.
