Thinking of this, Qiu Tu also realized that he was being overly optimistic.
After all... all of this hinged on Zhao Ji successfully breaking through to the Sixth Order in the "Boundless Heart Sea - Core Region."
If Zhao Ji failed her breakthrough and returned to the "Boundless Heart Sea - Peripheral Area," only to find that Larilo had taken over one of her nine regions, and she herself wrecked the other eight, wouldn't she feel like slapping herself to death?
Thus... before he made his move, he must confirm Zhao Ji's condition.
Confirm that she succeeded in her breakthrough and would not return to the peripheral area.
Only then could he quietly take over the nest.
Thinking this way, Qiu Tu felt his decision to let Larilo "invade" Zhao Ji's region was indeed wise.
Whatever happened, Larilo would be the one to take the brunt of it, while he could just hide behind and stealthily reap the benefits...
