In fact, as early as when he was promoted to deputy speaker of Dongye Prefecture, Qiu Tu had already thought about his next promotion path through the disaster.
When he was promoted to deputy speaker, Qiu Tu's own strength reached the fourth level. After that, the speaker reached the peak of the fourth level.
At that time, Qiu Tu thought that he might be promoted to the fifth level after becoming the leader of the shelter. After that, he would have to find another way.
What surprised him was that after he became a member of the Supreme Council of the Sanctuary (high-level member), his strength increased to the fifth level.
Now that he has become the leader of the shelter, his own strength has once again jumped a big step forward, reaching the fifth level peak!
This is your own strength without any external pretense.
This represents that Qiu Tu has truly reached the pinnacle of strength in the northwest region.
Except for the sixth-level super evil god, there will be no opponent for him in the entire northwest region.
And it is said that the only known sixth-level evil spirits still alive in the northwest region are Zhao Ji and another veteran sixth-level evil god.
It's just that the veteran sixth-level evil god spends all his time cultivating in secret and never interferes with worldly affairs.
When the 6th Sanctuary was about to reach the "Boundless Heart Sea - Core Area", he never showed up.
The "Kirigakure Club" then sent Xiao Yasha out to clean up the mess.
Therefore, Qiu Tu's current strength can be said to be lower than Zhao Ji and higher than tens of thousands of people.
Qiu Tu didn't mind "Zhao Ji is on top and he is on bottom".
If that doesn't work, he can still be between Zhao Ji and La Riluo.
Of course, it would be better if he could be there.
After driving the car casually for a few times, Qiu Tu recovered his thoughts and began to experience his own strength again.
In fact, when he was promoted to the early stage of the fifth level, and when the fake grid reached the peak of the fifth level, Qiu Tu felt something was wrong.
Because, he found that the whole world seemed to have a feeling of "rejection" towards him.
It felt a bit weird, as if he had been "shackled" and every move had to be stronger than before to achieve the previous effect.
But this does not mean that he has been weakened in this world. On the contrary, it means that his power is close to the limit that this world can bear.
Therefore, in order to "protect itself", the world has added more defense mechanisms around Qiu Tu. This is the reason why Qiu Tu felt a little abnormal.
What's even more troublesome is that Qiu Tu found that as his strength increased, his suppressive power became stronger.
Although, he can feel his improvement and strength, and his strength is indeed far beyond the middle and late stage of fifth level.
But... he always has the feeling that if he keeps improving like this, he might be crushed by the world.
That feeling was like a warning. It was warning Qiu Tu that he had not been recognized by the world and was not allowed to have such great strength.
‘Could this be the reason why the fifth-level peak has to go to the “Boundless Heart Sea-Core Area” to advance?’
'Only when you go to the "Boundless Heart Sea - Core Area" can you fully use your strength and advance to level 6?'
Thinking like this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but feel that something was wrong.
If this is really the case, then Zhao Ji, Yaksha and Beauty Feng won't break the world barrier, right?
Thinking like this, Qiu Tu had a guess in his mind, 'So, it's actually a matter of personality.'
'I am not an "earth creature" and have not been recognized by the world, so I cannot be considered one of my own, and I cannot have a power that exceeds the tolerance of the world.'
'But once you become a level 6 cataclysm, become an "earth creature", and gain recognition from the "world", your strength will be unlocked.'
'Then, you can freely use the strength above level 6.'
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu's heart moved and he had a guess.
'So. Although the origin of the world has no consciousness, it does have some instinctive reactions of its own?'
Thinking like this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but think of some of the words Mu Ye had talked about when he introduced the members of the "Kigakure Society" to him after she surrendered to him.
At that time, he introduced "White Mist", the great evil god whose head was shrouded in fog during the meeting.
According to Mu Ye, "Baiwu" has a perverse personality and is vicious in his schemes. He often does some unscrupulous things.
Therefore, from time to time, there will be backlash from the origin of the world.
At that time, Qiu Tu was in a hurry to go to the "Kirigakure" meeting and didn't think much about it.
Now it seems that this should be a manifestation of the existence of certain operating rules in the "origin of the world".
If a creature does something beyond its allowed range, it may encounter some terrible things.
This is probably one of the reasons why the evil god is obviously powerful, but has been slowly infiltrating this world.
Humanity is not fighting alone, there is a strong world will behind it.
The only uncertainty is how fast the evil god can penetrate and how long the will of the world can persist.
After all, judging from recent events, if the evil god becomes a level 6 cataclysmic creature, he will also have a "license", and the origin of the world will no longer suppress it.
Especially since the evil god has such a valuable treasure as "Mountain Root" in his hand, he can advance to level 6 in the edge area, which makes it even more difficult for the origin of the world to judge "friend or foe".
You know, the level 6 evil god is enough to influence the overall situation in the "marginal area".
Qiu Tu has been deducing the situation for the past two days. He found that, to a certain extent, it has changed the fate of the entire northwest region.
The "Kigakure Kai" is actually extremely powerful in the northwest region. There are two major sixth-level evil gods, and a fifth-level peak evil god who is only two areas away from advancing to the sixth stage!
Coupled with more than twenty fifth-level evil gods and four human traitors, they can almost sweep the entire northwest region.
That is to say, Xiao Yasha was injured and Mu Ye had not advanced yet, so the "Kirigakure Club" wanted stability and did not act too hastily.
If Qiu Tu had traveled a year or two later, the entire northwest region might have been completely occupied.
Thinking like this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but see the key treasure "Mountain Root" again in front of his eyes.
Before, he knew that "mountain roots" were priceless treasures of heaven and earth, but he didn't have much clear idea.
Now, he finally understood. This was definitely a strategic treasure.
No wonder, given a piece of "mountain root", even an iceberg like Zhao Ji was melted.
‘Shangen, Shangen.’
Thinking about this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but mutter a few words.
To be honest, he himself didn't expect that his promotion could be so fast and that he had reached the peak of the fifth level in such a short period of time.
Although he did not have the Nine Stars Continuous Pearl and only lit up four areas, don't forget that the "Dongcheng Area" has already improved the regional energy level by relying on the "Flower of Earth Vein".
Therefore, Qiu Tu has now met the conditions to advance to level 6.
As long as he is willing, he can abandon everything now and go to the "Boundless Heart Sea-Core Area" to advance.
But how can one abandon everything?
'It would be great if there was a second mountain root. Then all the chess pieces would be alive.'
At this time, when Qiu Tu was thinking this.
Suddenly, "dong dong dong", someone knocked on the office door from outside.
Qiu Tu was disturbed, and slowly came back to his senses.
He gently touched the black cat lying on his lap, and then said in a deep voice, "Come in."
The next second, the office door was pushed open, and Tao Yaoyao walked in from the outside.
After entering the door, Tao Yaoyao's eyes first rested on the black cat on Qiu Tu's lap for a moment, and then she said softly, "Speaker, Deputy Speaker Guan Xiao wants to see you."
As a close confidant of Qiu Tu, Guan Xiao was promoted to deputy speaker by Qiu Tu during his last promotion, responsible for matters related to the Security Bureau.
From the Political Department to the Security Bureau, they are all on the secret front, but the transition is seamless.
But even so, she had to hand over work during this period and get familiar with the work of the Security Bureau system, so she had no time to flirt with Qiu Tu.
Therefore, she came here today because she obviously had something to do.
Thinking like this, Qiu Tu raised his eyes and glanced at Tao Yaoyao, and then while petting the cat, he asked calmly, "What is she doing here?"
Tao Yaoyao is very professional as a secretary. She said, "She brought a girl to see you this time, saying she has important things to report to you."
'Girl?' Qiu Tu muttered silently in his heart, then nodded slightly, "Let her come in."
"Yes." Tao Yaoyao bowed towards Qiu Tu, then turned and left the office.
After a while, she brought Guan Xiao and another girl into Qiu Tu's office.
The girl looks young, only sixteen or seventeen years old. She looks fair and bare-faced, does not wear makeup, and has a simplicity that does not understand the world.
But compared to some innocent but somewhat silly girls, she has a strong vitality in her body.
That vitality made her whole person look different. Not only did her big watery eyes look lively, but her figure became extremely upright.
Overall, this is a girl who looks a little different.
His eyes stayed on the girl for a moment, Qiu Tu raised his eyes to look at Guan Xiao, and then while stroking the cat's hair, he asked, "Is this...?"
When Guan Xiao heard this, he did not explain. Instead, he quickly stepped forward and handed Qiu Tu a letter.
Qiu Tu glanced at her doubtfully, then took the letter and read it carefully.
The letter was not written by Guan Xiao, but by Princess Xi.
In the letter, Princess Xi said that the girl's name was Luo Luo, and she was one of her personal guards. She was not only very talented, but also deeply trusted by Princess Xi.
Now, although she is only 17 years old, her strength has reached the peak of the third level.
With this strength and age, he is already considered a little genius in the 6th shelter, which is far stronger than the 8th shelter.
But more importantly, Lolo's catastrophic path and catastrophic ability are very special. Her catastrophic path is "Order", and her catastrophic ability is called "Danger Transfer".
She can set 3 safe places and then move anywhere among these three safe places.
Although this ability is very good, it is really just that.
But when she was at the third level, she awakened her second ability.
Her second ability is that she can merge into the bodies of other Cataclysms.
And once integrated into the body of that cataclysm, that person will receive a certain bonus to the power of cataclysm and possess her abilities.
Once these two abilities are combined, a very interesting effect is born: as long as you carry her with you, once you encounter danger, you can "absorb her" and then move to a safe area.
It can be said that at certain critical moments, Lolo is a life-saving trump card.
And now, Princess Xi gave Luo Luo to Qiu Tu.
According to Princess Xi, she already regretted not cooperating with Qiu Tu during this period.
Therefore, she gave Luoluo to Qiu Tu as an apology.
As long as Qiu Tu cooperates with her, he can successfully overthrow the Kou family and put her son on the throne.
Then she will not only be willing to treat Qiu Tu with the courtesy of a "national scholar", but also grant Qiu Tu the title of "Chief Cabinet Minister", making Qiu Tu the No. 2 figure in the 6th Sanctuary.
And she will also give Qiu Tu a valuable treasure, "Shan Gen".
To be honest, when he read Princess Xi's letter, Qiu Tu didn't feel any emotion in his heart.
Because it is very simple. Although Princess Xi is giving this and that, this courtesy and that position, in fact, the subtext of Princess Xi is to reject Qiu Tu.
Qiu Tu, who is also the No. 2 person, proposed the romantic position of "Prince Regent", but Princess Xi gave her the title of "Chief Cabinet Minister" and "National Scholar".
Qiu Tu proposed that Princess Xi should accompany him, but Princess Xi instead sent a young, beautiful and powerful girl.
More importantly, Princess Xi took out a valuable treasure like "Shan Gen".
To put it slightly exaggerated, Zhao Ji could have made a move for this heavenly material and earthly treasure. Therefore, using this to pay for Qiu Tu's move was definitely enough.
Therefore, although Princess Xi came to ask for cooperation, the conditions for cooperation have actually changed.
If it were in the past, Qiu Tu would certainly not agree to this kind of cooperation that tampered with his own conditions.
But now that he has reached the edge of the peak of the fifth level, Qiu Tu will advance to the sixth level next. It is the time when he needs "mountain roots".
Therefore, Princess Xi's final reward really moved him.
The only question is, where did Princess Xi get her roots? She couldn't be lying to herself, right?
Thinking like this, Qiu Tu read the letter again, and then raised his eyes to look at the girl who was full of vitality.
He folded the letter back into its original shape, then nodded slightly and said, "I've finished reading the letter. But I still need to think about whether to cooperate or not."
"So, Lieutenant Colonel Luo, please take a rest first."
After speaking, Qiu Tu pressed the button on the table.
After a while, Tao Yaoyao walked in and led Luo Luo out of the office.
Seeing this, Luoluo straightened up, politely saluted Qiu Tu, and then left with Tao Yaoyao.
After she left, Qiu Tu gestured toward Guan Xiao and asked, "What's going on?"
Guan Xiao has obviously read Princess Xi's letter and done the corresponding homework.
She even knew what Qiu Tu cared about most.
Therefore, she walked up behind Qiu Tu with a sweet smile, and while massaging Qiu Tu obediently, she explained to Qiu Tu,
"Speaker, I am Luo Luo, who I met on the road early this morning."
"She took out the ID of the 6th Asylum Royal Guard and handed the letter to me."
"After I read it, I was a little surprised. But I was worried that it was a scam, so I used my authority to retrieve the shelter's information and then analyzed it."
"As a result, I actually found some clues."
Speaking of this, Guan Xiao asked, "Speaker, do you still remember that you once told me that "Kang Wang" is a quasi-level 6 intelligence agent?" (Chapter 528, Chapter 530)
After hearing Guan Xiao's words, Qiu Tu said a faint "hmm" while enjoying her massage.
Guan Xiao said, "The shelter did not have this information before, so many clues were incomprehensible."
"Ever since I learned about King Kang's strength, I have been looking for clues."
"Then, I really found some useful clues."
Speaking of this, Guan Xiao explained, "The reason why King Kang was able to sweep across the northwest region and almost hit the "core area" was actually because there was someone behind him."
"He has a close relationship with a certain big shot in Sanctuary 3."
"The big shot in Sanctuary No. 3 was optimistic that he could rule the entire northwest region, so he gave him a lot of resource support and arrangements."
"Among them, there is the important treasure "Mountain Root"."
"Kang Wang's strength back then had reached the peak of the fifth level + Nine Stars Continuous Pearl."
