Tribulation of Myriad Races

Liu Wenyan had a troubled expression. He said, “How about…no, I really can’t do it. I’ll just pass them all to you, then. You can do whatever you want to them.”

He couldn’t bring himself to do it. The fifth principal was his teacher. In truth, his belief had swayed after hearing Su Yu’s words. He had known about all that, but he had been running from the truth all along.

Wu Yuehua, Hong Tan, and the others had remained silent about it.

They believed in him unconditionally. Nobody said the truth. They all gave him the space he needed. Not even his Uncle Liu. But now, someone was finally telling him all that without beating around the bush. He could no longer keep running from the truth.

Su Yu did not even bother to refuse. He said, “Teacher, I’ll borrow a few of the characters from you. If you really don’t want them, I’ll crush them all for my cultivation after using them. If you still want to keep them around, I’ll return them all to you. Also, I won’t be able to absorb that much willpower. I can’t reach the Sunmoon Realm in one go. You’re the only person capable of that. It’s up to you if you want to do it or not.”

Liu Wenyan sighed, “Kid, you really don’t know how to hold back.”

What a savage kid.

Su Yu said, “Teacher, why don’t you give me one or two more characters? I don’t think I can support the activation of the character with my own willpower. I need to crush another Sunmoon character to supply the willpower for the activation. Yeah, you should give me two more characters. One of them should be offensive in nature and the other shall be the trash character serving as battery.”

Su Yu’s eyes sparkled as he said, “I’ll first crush the trash character before using the suppress character to suppress the opponent. Then, I’ll use the offensive character and kill them. I can even get a heavenly reward for this, all for the price of only one peak Sunmoon character.”

Was that really a worthy trade? Not necessarily. But as far as Su Yu was concerned, that was totally worth it. With three characters, he could probably kill one or two Sunmoons, right?

And the heavenly rewards for killing Sunmoons would be massive. His own strength would receive a massive boost. As for Liu Wenyan, whatever. If he really couldn’t bring himself to crush those characters, so be it.

Liu Wenyan was left speechless. This kid was being serious. He did not care about Sunmoon characters. Even an Invincible would probably choose to research instead of crush these characters as they would find more value in that. Meanwhile, this kid only wanted to crush them.

Liu Wenyan inhaled deeply, clenched his teeth, and said, “Fine. Kid, I don’t know where you learned how to speak like that. Perhaps you’re right. Perhaps I’ve been too stubborn. I’ll give you two more characters and keep eleven of them. I will crush some of them to make a push into the Sunmoon Realm and keep one or two as my trump card.”

Su Yu was overjoyed. Teacher Liu agreed! Wasn’t this old man very stubborn? He actually agreed!

Liu Wenyan said nothing else. It wasn’t that he didn’t know all that. But…he had simply been pushed into inaction due to his constant hesitation. Today, his hesitation was slightly reduced. That alone was enough to push him into action.

Sorry, Teacher.

He might really need to give up on the most important thing his teacher left him. He would never give up if he only lived for himself. But as Su Yu said, a lot of people were counting on him. He had thought that there was still more time. But that clearly wasn’t the case.

His junior brother was going to take action in Great Xia. This damn kid was kicking up a storm in the Allheaven Battlefield. If the kid really managed to kill a Sunmoon through this plan, the storm would only intensify. The multiple character faction couldn’t produce even one expert to take on the pressure that would land on them.

His junior brother was still too weak. He had to take on that burden. It had been five decades. He could only say sorry to his teacher.

As for the people who were still waiting for a miracle from those characters, he could only say sorry to them as well. Perhaps he had never been the suitable inheritor for these characters. After all, he was Liu Wenyan. Not Ye Batian.

Finally, Liu Wenyan reached a decision. This was a matter he had considered for a very long time. But Su Yu’s brutal honesty made it impossible for him to even deceive himself anymore.

In fact, he had been contemplating this matter ever since Bai Feng had suggested that he crush some of the non-human characters. He wouldn’t have crushed even one of his inherited characters otherwise.

Since he had reached a decision, he stopped wasting time saying anything pointless.

He said, “So you need two more characters, one as the energy supply and that is powerful enough offensively. Can your sea of willpower even withstand the pressure of a destroyed peak Sunmoon character?”

Su Yu thought about it and shook his head, “It will probably give me a lot of trouble, but it’s fine. I won’t be absorbing the willpower alone. That little fellow can share the burden with me.”

Liu Wenyan blanked out and asked, “The same thing that helped you drag the character in earlier?”

“Yes.”

“…”

This kid was getting more and more mysterious.

Su Yu said, “Teacher, since you’ve agreed to crush those characters, why don’t you maximize the gains? Let’s join hands and do something big. You and me! The heavenly rewards do not discriminate based on age. After one big job, we can run back to the Human Realm. If not, we can find a minor realm and hide inside to digest our gains. With our strength, any Sunmoons our enemies send will be reduced to Mountainseas. They stand no chance against us. Are they going to send Invincibles against us? Even if they do, those Invincibles will be suppressed into Sunmoons after entering the minor realm. Perhaps we can even kill them!”

Su Yu gnashed his teeth and said, “As long as we’re crazy enough, life won’t be that hard for us anymore. As humans, we don’t have to worry about the suppression force of the minor realms. The two of us can hide in a minor realm and cultivate until we’re Sunmoons. At that time, we can kill even the Invincibles they send after us!”

“…”

This damn kid was getting way too crazy. Holy shit! This was Liu Wenyan’s very first time hearing a mere Cloudbreach saying that they could just kill the Invincibles going after them. There was nothing to fear.

This kid…was truly brazen. He had zero misgivings. Nothing could restrict the kid. After leaving the Human Realm, Su Yu had turned into a mad dog out of a cage. Should he join the kid in the madness?

Thinking about it, Liu Wenyan shook his head, “I’m not as good at concealing my strength. I will get exposed before we even make our move.”

Su Yu nodded, “I see. I have an idea, Teacher. But I need your cooperation for it to work.”

“What is it?”

“I want to trap all these Sunmoons to death.”

Su Yu said, “I’ll wait until the gates reopen and enter with them. Then, I’ll find a chance to kill death spirits, kill the Mountainseas, provoke the Sunmoon death spirits, and get the gates sealed again. All of them will be trapped inside the city. It’s better for you to enter as well. It’s too hard for me to kill Sunmoon death spirits. You might be able to do so with your strength. We will kill a bunch of Sunmoon death spirits before fleeing with the talismans. With high-stage Sunmoon death spirits, not even the inner ring buildings are safe. Not one of those Sunmoons will survive.”

Liu Wenyan blinked. What? Trapping all the Sunmoons to death? What a ruthless and cold kid.

“Are you sure?”

“Of course.” Su Yu clenched his teeth, “If we don’t kill as much as we can, it will be a waste of our sacrifice. Are we supposed to crush those peak Sunmoon characters just to kill a Sunmoon or two? No. That’s not enough. I want to bury all those Sunmoons. Kill them all and run.”

Liu Wenyan inhaled deeply. What a crazy plan. What a lovely plan.

“Are you sure we can run after that?”

“Yeah.” Su Yu took a talisman out and said, “Teacher, this is the teleportation talisman. It will keep working for three days, but a day has passed so there are two days left. The gates will probably open halfway through tomorrow. We need to kill a bunch of Sunmoon death spirits and a few Sunmoons in half a day.”

There must be a difference between the time the gates would reopen and the time the talismans would stop working. Su Yu wasn’t too worried about it. He could determine if the talismans were still effective through the unique energy around them. The talismans would only stop working when the energy was gone. That was what he observed from the talisman he used.

If the talismans stopped working when the gates reopened, they could simply give up on the plan.

Su Yu added, “Additionally, I’m also doing this to make it easier to hide my whereabouts in the future. The damn Heavenly Hunt Index is very annoying. If I can somehow kill a Sunmoon or even a peak Sunmoon this time, my rank on the index will no longer change. That way, I can put on the disguise of an old man as I travel the Allheaven Battlefield. It’s normal for an old man to not enter the index after killing someone.”

Somehow, that made a lot of sense.

After a short silence, Liu Wenyan asked, “So I need to enter the city after everyone else enters and kill some Sunmoon death spirits?”

“Yeah.” Su Yu said, “Try to kill as many Sunmoon death spirits as you can. That will result in the appearance of a large number of high-stage Sunmoon death spirits. I refuse to believe those visiting Sunmoons can survive so many Sunmoon death spirits. I don’t think any Invincible will be there. They probably believe those Sunmoons are enough to handle me.”

“What a stupid thing to say.”

Those Sunmoons had more than enough strength to handle this kid. But the damn kid actually wasn’t satisfied with just surviving. He actually wanted to kill them instead. How crazy. If this plan succeeded, the kid would be forever on the run.

“But you need to kill the ordinary death spirits to make the Sunmoon death spirits appear and get the city sealed. Can you do it?”

“Of course.” Su Yu nodded, “Don’t worry. I won’t kill too many at the start. First, I’ll find a random Sunmoon visitor to kill. I found that killing Sunmoons will also attract Sunmoon death spirits. Previously when I killed a Mountainsea, Mountainsea death spirits appeared. With the appearance of even one Sunmoon death spirit, the city will enter lockdown.”

Liu Wenyan inhaled deeply. He had never done something so crazy before. Would it work?

“What if some humans have arrived as well?”

“Humans?”

Su Yu blanked out. He had never considered that. He had never expected any help from the human race. Yeah. What should he do if there were humans among the newcomers? They wanted to save them, but they would end up burdening him.

But nobody would come to help him, right? If they were really here, he wouldn’t have enough talismans for them. He only had two.
