Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty!
Chapter 1390 - 607: The True Relationship Between Zhao Ji and Larilo
Qiu Tu was even more puzzled on his face. He pointed to himself, "Me?"
Larilo nodded, looked up at Qiu Tu, and said, "Of course. Because I've only been with you for a few days. My sister told me not to be nice to you, not to find you, but I couldn't hear her at all."
Qiu Tu: ....
Qiu Tu lowered his head to look at the girl.
Under the light, the girl's eyes were like stars, exuding breathtaking allure.
Qiu Tu was silent for a moment, then he said, "Is it because you've been lacking nutrition lately and want to drink milk?"
Larilo covered her mouth and laughed "giggle giggle," "In the end, am I the deity of the 'Reproduction' path or are you?"
"I'm trying to have a serious conversation with you here."
Just like that, after chatting for a bit longer half-jokingly with Larilo, Qiu Tu finally let her go back to her bedroom to rest.
Once he finished his work for the day, he would return with Larilo to Dongye State and use the "Dragon Vein Seed" to refine the "Boundless Heart Sea Region"....
Maybe it's because her loyalty is getting higher now, Larilo is becoming more obedient.
So, after Qiu Tu made arrangements, she obediently went to rest.
After she left, Qiu Tu sat in the study, took out a few documents to sign, and continued pondering the relationship between Larilo and Zhao Ji.
The reason Qiu Tu had some guesses about the sisters' relationship was actually because of Zhao Ji.
Qiu Tu still remembered when he was researching Shen Lingshuang's background, he discovered someone who looked exactly like Shen Lingshuang but had replaced her—"Candle Dance."
At that time, Qiu Tu tried to probe Shen Lingshuang to see if she was truly "Shen Lingshuang."
As a result, Shen Lingshuang actually had memories of living with Shen Yuzhou in the past. This indicated that Shen Lingshuang wasn't an impostor.
Therefore, regarding this situation, Qiu Tu specifically went to inquire about Zhao Ji.
Zhao Ji immediately noticed something wrong with Shen Lingshuang and "diagnosed" her with: soul splitting.
At that time, Zhao Ji gave many examples.
She said soul splitting can be either active or passive.
Some split their souls to remove "impurities" and make their souls clearer and more potential; some encounter a major crisis and split their souls to preserve hope of survival; and some do soul splitting cultivation. (Chapter 468)
All these could cause a person's soul to be incomplete, leading to confused memories.
The solution was simple: to let them embark on the Path of Catastrophe, ascending to become a third or fourth-order catastrophe-evolver.
Third and fourth-order catastrophe-evolvers have the opportunity to repair and reconstruct their souls.
At the time, after receiving the analysis from Zhao Ji, Qiu Tu became convinced that Shen Lingshuang was possibly a soul that had been split in two.
As a result, after recently learning about Shen Lingshuang's background, Qiu Tu, while feeling sorry, also contemplated something.
His past experiences told Qiu Tu: Humans find it difficult to imagine things they've never seen.
Also... generally speaking, people tend to assume others have done something similar only if they've done it themselves.
Furthermore... Larilo once said that she and Zhao Ji could share feelings. (Chapter 510)
For this, Zhao Ji even placed a "prohibition" on Larilo, forcing her to maintain purity.
Also, Zhao Ji was a "Heavenly God Reincarnation," but Larilo was nothing of the sort.
Moreover, when Qiu Tu knew Larilo, she was indeed fourth-order.
It was precisely these small details that made Qiu Tu start to doubt the true relationship between Zhao Ji and Larilo.
Today, whether it's the vaults of Zhao Ji that Larilo unintentionally revealed, or Zhao Ji's chaotic memories, they all further proved this point.
Qiu Tu deeply suspected that these Evil God sisters were not real sisters at all but were the soul splits Zhao Ji talked about!
If Qiu Tu's guess was correct: decades ago, that great Cataclysm caused many Heavenly Gods to fall, including Zhao Ji.
After falling, Zhao Ji prepared to reincarnate and rebuild.
As a result, who would have thought she'd be discovered by other Evil Gods and relentlessly pursued.
At that time, in order to have the possibility of revival, Zhao Ji most likely split off Larilo as a backup.
Who would have thought it went unused in the end?
Or... Zhao Ji is extremely ambitious. Even after becoming a Heavenly God, she was not satisfied.
Possibly because there was a problem with her Cataclysm path, she resolutely relinquished her Heavenly God's positional frame and decided to reincarnate and rebuild.
And to ensure that she could reclaim her heavenly God position this time, she expelled the "impurities" within herself. Those impurities became Larilo.
This is likely why Zhao Ji has mixed feelings of love and hate towards Larilo.
Because there is so little information right now, Qiu Tu doesn't know which guess is closer to the truth.
But regardless, Zhao Ji and Larilo are most likely indeed tied to the same soul relationship....
Upon thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but think of the "prohibition" Zhao Ji placed on Larilo.
Actually, Qiu Tu had been curious before if his "Order Space" could lift that prohibition.
Before, with Zhao Ji in the "Northwestern Region," even Qiu Tu dared not attempt it.
But now that Zhao Ji has gone to the "core area," Qiu Tu thought.... maybe, once he advances to the seventh order, he could try to lift that prohibition....
At that time, with the emperor far away, even if Qiu Tu delivered justice to Larilo on the spot, Zhao Ji would have no way to stop it.
And then thinking about how Zhao Ji might also feel it at that time... Qiu Tu suddenly became even more excited....
.....
And so, the next half of the day passed as Qiu Tu dealt with official duties.
