Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty!

Chapter 1650 - 683: It Couldn't Have Been Qiu Tu Who Killed the Heavenly Gods, Right?

And after each use, you also have to replenish it with high-grade Boundless Divine Crystals.

Most importantly... once you use the Ancestor Loan, it's as if you've automatically signed a World Contract with it.

—When this "descendant" reaches a certain age, or attains a certain realm, they have to cut off a portion of their own power and invest it back into the Ancestor Loan, passing it down to their bloodline descendants.

In other words, you're sacrificing your future peak in exchange for safety during your growth period.

The cost is hefty, but it's definitely a powerful ability that can reverse the situation.

It was thanks to this power that Doris temporarily boosted her own strength to the Heavenly God level, holding off the attacks of the three Divine Kings all by herself.

However, both the three Divine Kings and she knew... she couldn't hold on for long.

Even with the Ancestor Loan, her strength was only on par with the East Divine King's clone. The reason she could take on three at once was simply because the Divine Kings were afraid she still had another bottom card and were being cautious.

But! Where would she get a second bottom card!

When the Heavenly God Cataclysm happened, she was too young. Managing to learn the Ancestor Loan—this pseudo divine technique—before her father left, already proved her talent. There was no time to prepare another bottom card.

So now, all she could do was delay, and hope Qiu Tu could turn things around.

After all, Qiu Tu might be a bit reckless, a bit lecherous, but he's always been a master strategist and true to his word.

Since Qiu Tu said he could deal with the three Divine Kings, Doris was willing to bet on it.

Just like that, the four fought for a dozen seconds. Suddenly, a bright blue light shot through the bodies of the three Divine Kings!

In that instant, Doris clearly noticed the expressions of the three Divine Kings shift strangely, and the aura around them started dropping rapidly.

At the time, she had no idea what was happening. She scanned Qiu Tu with her psychic power but noticed he hadn't made any move.

It all seemed completely unrelated to him.

But as she was thinking this, something even more shocking happened!

After their aura plummeted, the three Divine King clones suddenly, eerily, all twisted their necks to the left at the same time, eyes bulging, veins popping, tumbling down toward the ground!

And when she scanned them with her psychic power again, Doris was stunned to discover they were all dead—without a sound!

The shock of it nearly knocked her over.

These were three Heavenly God level elites, and they died quietly just like that?

What the hell is this—Legendary Heavenly God resurrection, or is someone cheating right now?

And as the shock faded, Doris once more locked her psychic power onto Qiu Tu.

Not that she trusted Qiu Tu so completely, but... everyone else present was someone she knew through and through—except Qiu Tu.

And with Qiu Tu busy frantically paying the price, who else could've done it but him!

After sorting through everything, Doris finally landed gently from the sky to the ground, a complex look in her eyes.

By now, after absorbing six Eighth Rank Peak Boundless Divine Crystals, Qiu Tu finally stopped his actions.

He looked as if he'd just breathed a sigh of relief, his face full of gratitude, and plopped down onto the ground.

Seeing this, Doris was silent for a moment before walking over, crouching down beside him, and tentatively asking, "Was that you just now?"

Qiu Tu never liked acting impressive in secret. His creed has always been: if you have a chance to show off, don't let it go to waste.

So he didn't hesitate to nod slightly, then also grinned and shot back, "If it wasn't me, would it be you?"

Doris didn't get angry at Qiu Tu's provocative words. Her amber eyes kept flickering, as if seeing Qiu Tu for the first time.

She felt she'd probably struck gold. Eighth Rank Mid-stage and able to kill a Heavenly God?

That's even crazier than the old records of Legendary Heavenly Gods.

Thinking this, her eyes sparkled as she couldn't help but ask, "How did you do it?"

She added, "Those were... three Heavenly Gods, after all."

Hearing Doris' words, Qiu Tu—now recovered a bit—raised a finger. "No, those weren't three Heavenly Gods, they were three Heavenly Gods who had descended onto Eighth Rank experts."

Doris blinked, not quite grasping Qiu Tu's meaning.

"Three Heavenly Gods descended onto Eighth Rank experts...?" What's the difference from three Heavenly Gods?

Heavenly Gods are Heavenly Gods, aren't they?

Seeing the question marks on Doris' face, Qiu Tu smiled.

After the last few hours of experiments, Qiu Tu had mostly figured out why his Cataclysmic ability, Order Space, worked on Divine King clones.

—Divine King clones may have combat power at Heavenly God-level, but their strength is artificially boosted by the descending Divine King.

Their actual status and realm are related to the descent vessel.

To use a descent clone, the Divine King needs a vessel.

And to bear Divine King power, those vessels are at least carefully chosen Eighth Rank deities.

But... Eighth Rank is still just Eighth Rank!

If they haven't reached the Heavenly God level, Qiu Tu's Order Space still works.

And it was this discovery that convinced Qiu Tu he could use Order Space to wipe out these three Divine King clones. The only question was, how high the price would be.

So, in the past three hours, Qiu Tu used Crisis Intuition to manically test and simulate the costs of eradicating these three Divine King clones under different conditions.
