Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty!

Qiu Tu, upon hearing these words, couldn't help but ask further, "So, what are the benefits of acquiring divinity and becoming a deity?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's question, Larilo leaned on the altar, swinging her little feet, and said slowly, "The benefits after becoming a deity are too numerous…"

"For ordinary Cataclysmic Creatures, it can drastically increase wisdom, awakening Spiritual Wisdom."

"For humans like you, it means you can build your own Divine Domain, develop believers, enter the dreams of followers to communicate with them, gather the power of faith, produce 'Boundless Divine Crystals' on your own, kill people in dreams, and so on…"

At this point, Larilo seemed to have thought of something, and said, "Oh right, I remember there's a rule in your Sanctuary. In the Planning Area, only heads of departments and above are recorded in the Sanctuary's roster, right?"

Qiu Tu nodded upon hearing this.

Larilo gave a sly smile, "Well then, let me make a comparison for you. Only by becoming a deity are you truly recorded in the rosters of two worlds. You could say you are a real... resident of the world."

When Qiu Tu heard Larilo's words, he furrowed his brows slightly, feeling as though her words seemed to contain some hidden meaning…

However, it was clear that Larilo had no intention of explaining, so Qiu Tu had to change the subject and continued the conversation…

...And so, the two of them sat on a treetop in the Xinjie Territory, one asking questions, the other answering, and they talked about a lot.

During this time, Qiu Tu also gave Larilo a few "sesame-sized" Boundless Divine Crystals as a reward.

Larilo was so annoyed that she almost threw those Boundless Divine Crystals at Qiu Tu's head.

But when she saw Qiu Tu open his 'Gold-Addicted Wallet' and display his own fist-sized Boundless Divine Crystal, Larilo obediently accepted the two "sesame-sized" rewards.

After all… how else could she deceive him out of that big fist-sized Boundless Divine Crystal?!

Feeling the essence that originated from herself, Larilo thought... if she could absorb that fist-sized Boundless Divine Crystal!

She would at least be able to recover the strength of a First-Order Catastropher!

At that point... would she still deal with Qiu Tu?!

She definitely would sneak away to find her sister!

However, Larilo was unaware that Qiu Tu was actually employing "108 Ways to Enhance Affection" from the Emotional Fraud Manual: Give Women Hopes and Dreams.

In Qiu Tu's past life, there was a widely circulated saying: Money is shown to women, not spent on them...

This saying appeared frequently in PUA teachings or jokes, and even... many women knew about it.

Yet... it was undeniably effective.

Even if ten thousand women knew, there would be ten thousand and one women who fell for it.

In the end, it was all about giving women dreams and illusions.

Tell women you have lots of money, lots of Boundless Divine Crystals, show your value, entice them bit by bit into the trap.

You can buy gifts, treat them to lavish meals, bring them on rides in luxury cars, let her know you have a lot of money, but... just don't give her the money.

Just like with Qiu Tu and Larilo, Boundless Divine Crystals would be given out a little, but never too much.

The fist-sized Boundless Divine Crystal would be shown to Larilo, but... she would never be allowed to touch it.

Only in this way, you can slowly reel her in, completely conquering her...

...

Just like that, the night swiftly passed by.

That night, Qiu Tu obtained many pieces of information from Larilo. Among them, the most important were speeding up the refining of the "Central Hub" and the benefits after becoming the Domain Master!

This gave him an incredibly detailed plan for his future development:

Using the name of the "Dare-to-Die Team" to refine the Central Hub in the Boundless Heart Sea New Realm, but ... intentionally leaving a bit unrefined.

Then upon returning, he would advance to become Deputy Director, raise his strength to Third Order.

Refine the last bit of the Central Hub, rise to Pseudo Fourth Order!

Relying on the power of Domain Master and Pseudo Fourth Order, he would skyrocket! Sprint towards the position of Deputy Speaker! Continue to enhance his own strength!

Thinking on this, Qiu Tu, after planning everything, returned to the real world with Larilo.

As soon as Larilo ran away, Qiu Tu had covertly transferred the Boundless Divine Crystal given to him by Zhao Ji to Shen Lingshuang's villa to isolate Larilo from that tampered Boundless Divine Crystal.

Storing Larilo in the repaired Dimensional Magic Ring, Qiu Tu didn't return to any of his homes but went to rest in the 12th-floor lounge instead…

He had been running around for days on end and simply didn't have the energy to spend on any more women's whims...

A silent night.

The next day, Qiu Tu was woken up by the ringing of his communicator.

Picking up the call, the anxious yet caring voice of Guan Xiao reached his ear, "Director! You... you volunteered for this Boundless Heart Sea New Realm mission for the 'Dare-to-Die Team'?"

Hearing Guan Xiao's words, a half-awakened Qiu Tu, lying in bed, gave a lazy "hm" and then asked, "Yes, why? Is there a problem?"

After a two-second silence, Guan Xiao on the other end said, "Director... this mission is extremely dangerous."

Qiu Tu already had a sense of the danger, so he reassured his subordinate, "Don't worry, with danger comes greater rewards."

Guan Xiao fell silent again for two seconds.

Then finally said, "Well... Sir, do you know that just last night... two Evil Gods officially invaded the Boundless Heart Sea New Realm region?"

Startled by Guan Xiao's words, Qiu Tu jolted wide awake.
