Moreover... for Tian Qi, neither of these possibilities is really a loss. It's just a matter of making a different choice.
If there are a lot of slots for the Divine God positional frame, and Tian Qi has hope to compete for the Divine God, of course that's the best. He could rise to the top in one move and formally enter the core of power in the whole world.
But if there really aren't that many slots, then Tian Qi could go along with Zhao Ji and Qiu Tu, giving up this round of the Heavenly God Trial. Not only would he win their trust further, but... pledging loyalty to someone means meeting them face to face...
All this time, Tian Qi has been carrying out the West God King's orders to track down Zhao Ji's whereabouts, but to little effect.
Now, he'll go straight to Zhao Ji and swear allegiance—he'll definitely find out her location.
