Let them offer their loyalty!

The purpose of Princess Xi's visit this time, as announced publicly, is to understand the current development situation of the Eighth Sanctuary.

There are only two regions that are mainly being visited. One is Dongye State, and the other is the Sanctuary.

In Dongye State, she visits to understand the development of the Eighth Sanctuary in the Boundless Heart Sea; while at the Sanctuary, she aims to understand the current development of the Eighth Sanctuary in the real world.

In comparison, the former is certainly more important than the latter: because the former is the focus of future development for all Sanctuaries, and it is also the breakthrough that the Eighth Sanctuary has recently achieved.

Therefore, during Princess Xi's one-and-a-half-month visit, she will spend one month in Dongye State and only half a month in the Eighth Sanctuary.

Calculating the time, she will officially end this visit tomorrow, after which she will return to the Sixth Sanctuary.

By then, Qiu Tu's connection with her will be completely severed.

Therefore, Qiu Tu must make his decision in the next two days on whether or not to cooperate with Princess Xi, and if so, how to cooperate with her.

With these thoughts in mind, Qiu Tu analyzed the gains and losses of cooperating with Princess Xi.

The biggest advantage of cooperating with Princess Xi is that Qiu Tu's ascension channel will open up.

He would no longer need to compete with Tang Feifei's grandfather, Tang Wanfeng, for the second position in the Sanctuary, nor would he need to compete with Rao Shou for the top position in the Sanctuary in the future.

Thus, Qiu Tu's basic position in the Eighth Sanctuary would not be shaken, significantly reducing the risks of Qiu Tu's advancement.

After all, once he tears his face with the "Fengtian Faction" and the "Iron-Blood Faction" for advancement, Qiu Tu doesn't believe he would definitely come out unscathed.

He could fight, but it's impossible to kill hundreds of thousands, even millions or billions, all by himself.

If the Sanctuary really sent a large army to surround and chase him, Qiu Tu would also have a headache.

Moreover, Qiu Tu's strength comes from his official position in the Eighth Sanctuary, and recently, almost all of Qiu Tu's Cataclysm Paths have been known to the upper echelons of the Eighth Sanctuary.

So, once the two sides tear their face, and the Sanctuary cancels Qiu Tu's official position, he doesn't dare to imagine what would happen.

Even if he could establish his own order in the Four States immediately, during this turbulent period of order, Qiu Tu's strength would definitely be affected.

By comparison, the Sixth Sanctuary has very little relation to Qiu Tu, so even if Qiu Tu messes up, retreating to the Eighth Sanctuary is still guaranteed.

And if he really could cooperate with Princess Xi to control the Sixth Sanctuary, Qiu Tu would not only advance smoothly to the sixth level, but more importantly, his influence would extend to both the Sixth and Eighth Sanctuaries.

In this way, Qiu Tu would control two-thirds of the Northwestern Region.

By then, if he strategized for the already half-damaged Seventh Sanctuary, Qiu Tu could very well become the "Northwest King"!

This would greatly help Qiu Tu's future development!

As for the drawbacks of getting involved in the Sixth Sanctuary incident...

After pondering for a while, Qiu Tu felt that at most, after failing, he would offend the Kou family, which seemed like no disadvantage at all.

As for the consequences of offending the Kou family... Well... Qiu Tu thought they could almost be ignored.

Not to mention whether the Kou family would retaliate after being offended; even if they wanted to retaliate, it wouldn't be in the near future.

After all, the most important thing for a new regime is stability.

Especially after usurping the throne, it requires even more recognition from both the country internally and surrounding countries.

At such a time, it would be good enough not to provoke the Kou family, who wouldn't dare to retaliate against him at all.

With benefits far outweighing the losses, Qiu Tu almost had no hesitation and decided to cooperate with Princess Xi and get involved in the matter of the Sixth Sanctuary.

As for how to cooperate with Princess Xi...

Qiu Tu couldn't help but think of the conditions given by Princess Xi: the second figure of the Sixth Sanctuary and "Mountain Root".

Such conditions, though indeed sincere, certainly wouldn't satisfy Qiu Tu.

Bringing a wolf into the house, yet still wanting to negotiate terms with the wolf?

That would be too naive.

'Regent King. That's the bottom line....'

'Now, the heir of Prince Kang is too young to rule. So if possible, it would be best to get hold of Princess Xi and make her the actual number one in the Sanctuary!'

'With this completed, it should be enough for me to reach the peak of the sixth level, right?'

'Of course... at the start, I must not expose my purpose to avoid alarming the enemy.'

'But I mustn't act as though I don't care about anything either. After all, Princess Xi is a bit too shrewd; I need to reveal some ambition, greed, and desire appropriately to avoid arousing her suspicion.'

'Someone like Lieutenant Luo is a good entry point.'

With this in mind, Qiu Tu already had a rough plan for his upcoming strategy at the Sixth Sanctuary.

As for whether it would be too despicable for him to agree to help Princess Xi's son gain control over the Sixth Sanctuary, yet intend to take it for himself in the end?

Qiu Tu didn't see any problem with it.

Ultimately, the eighth Sanctuary belonged to King Kang, and it depended entirely on his will to whom he would pass the throne.

So, whether it was the Kou family, Princess Xi, or Qiu Tu, all those wanting to ascend directly are essentially "usurpers"!

Is there a moral distinction between usurpers?

Moreover, the Sixth Sanctuary, as a part of the Human Camp, is not anyone's private property.

Letting a one-and-a-half-year-old child take the throne? How much could that contribute to the Human Camp?

On the contrary, only a strong leader like Qiu Tu can fully exploit the war potential of the Sixth Sanctuary and prepare for the fight against the Evil God.

Of course, the Sixth Sanctuary is merely a stepping stone for Qiu Tu; his goals are in the Northwestern Region, in the "Boundless Heart Sea - Core Region," and in the entire Human Camp.
