Tribulation of Myriad Races

Su Yu said, “That’s all for you. You may leave. You have a much brighter future than everyone here. You can probably achieve Daofuse relying only on yourself. And in the path of cultivation, it is always better to rely on yourself.”

“…Thank you, Holy Lord.”

Even now, Junior Zhou King was still in a state of shock. Some simple words had completely altered his perception of Su Yu. For a moment, it felt as though Su Yu was omniscient and omnipotent.

Next, Su Yu’s gaze landed on Great Ming King as he said, “Great Ming King.”

“Here!”

When Great Ming King stepped forth, Su Yu said, “You are walking your own path as well, but your exploration of this path is still quite shallow. The path of formation is a decent path. However, your body cultivation is interfering with it. Your body is actually very strong. I will take you on a trip to the River of Time later. It is better for you to pursue the dao you are more compatible with. Treat the dao of physical body as your secondary dao.”

Understanding dawned on Great Ming King, but new questions emerged in his mind as well. But for now, he could only nod. The dao of formation. Wasn’t he already an expert of the formation dao? Was he still walking the physical body dao?

“As for you, Great Zhou King, I don’t have much to say.” Su Yu looked at Great Zhou King and said, “You have your own path, and you know a lot. You don’t require my guidance.”

The two stared at each other silently. After a while, Great Zhou King bowed slightly and said, “The holy lord is right.”

Su Yu did not stop at that. He continued, “As for your dao, after cultivating it for so many years, it has never suffered the punishment of the laws. Perhaps you started cultivating it prior to this epoch. I don’t care about that. I am happy to see you strong. But remember. This epoch…is mine!”

This was his era.

With a complicated expression, Great Zhou King bowed again and said, “Zhou Tianqi shall keep this to heart.”

The expressions of the others changed, each feeling differently about this exchange.

Today, Great Zhou King was different. His eternal calm seemed to have vanished. In fact, he looked slightly at a loss. It even looked like he was being suppressed by Su Yu. They had never felt this way before.

As for Su Yu, it felt as though he had undergone a complete transformation after a mere few days.

Su Yu said, “I have contacted more than ten Daofuses in preparation for our second war. However, all of them are non-humans. Humanity is lacking in this aspect. Great Zhou King is our sole Daofuse.”

Su Yu continued solemnly, “The other races are free to help or not help. We are also free to seek or not seek their help. But without enough strength, even after conquering the Myriad Realms, who will be the true ruler? Me? Humanity? Or the other races? Who will be the actual masters of the Myriad Realms?”

Most of them were only focused on the number of Daofuses.

Great Qin King exclaimed in shock, “More than ten Daofuses?”

Su Yu answered, “Yes. Heavendoom, Empyrean Cloud, and Grandstar have all achieved Daofuse. Tian Yue, the head of Heaven Department has also returned to humanity. He is a Daofuse as well. Additionally, I have other arrangements in place, with more Daofuses in wait.”

They were greatly shocked to hear that.

Daofuses.

A bunch of Daofuses.

Su Yu said, “When I visited the Iron Devourer Realm, I helped September affirm his dao. He is near Daofuse as well. The Iron Devourer Pseudo Emperor is preparing to abdicate and allow September to take the position. Before long, the iron devourer race will be our most loyal ally. Do not forget this.”

They couldn’t even react to the amount of information he was throwing at them. All their eyes widened in shock. How many Daofuses was that? Even September was near Daofuse. And the entire iron devourer race would be placed under his rule soon. They found all this…completely unbelievable.

It had only been several days! Was Su Yu telling a story? Was he serious? However, nobody dared to doubt him either. The only thing they felt was shock.

At this moment, a certain understanding dawned on Great Zhou King. His expression turned even more complicated than before. He finally understood. So that was the case. Not only had Su Yu opened the Heaven Gate, the force under his command had also grown powerful enough that he no longer required the human race. He could initiate another war against the Myriad Realms with only his personal force.

Su Yu was the human lord. But at the same time, he was slowly becoming the lord of the myriad races as well. His power base was growing rapidly.

As for Great Xia King and the others, they were staring at Su Yu with wide eyes, their jaws agape. Prior to this, the human race did not even have a single Daofuse. But suddenly, the Daofuses on their side had reached beyond what they could count on two hands.

Su Yu said, “I don’t want the other races to remain the strongest under my command. Great Qin King has contributed greatly to humanity, guarding the Human Realm for hundreds of years. His contributions must not go unnoticed.

“I have gathered all of you here to increase your strength. Additionally, I also wish to reward the deserving. Great Qin King, I shall assist you in your advancement into the Daofuse Realm. If you are lucky enough, you might even reach the level of the ancient human kings before long.”

Great Qin King’s jaw dropped. Becoming a Daofuse was something he could accept without much shock. But being on par with the ancient human kings? This…must be a joke, right? This must be a bluff, right? This was a bit too hard to believe.

Even Great Zhou King couldn’t contain his shock. He exclaimed, “Ancient human kings?”

Su Yu said nonchalantly, “I believe you know more than the others. I am serious. You only need to master a single dao to reach that level. I can provide these daos. I have more than one daos available. Of course, pursuing this path will make the pursuit of a second dao much more difficult. Ultimately, it will depend on your luck. By becoming the master of a dao, you will merely reach the level of an ordinary ancient human king. You will be weaker than Great Ming King’s ancestor, Radiant King, and you will also be weaker than the ancestor of the traitors, Control King.”

Toward the end, they were barely listening. They were still immersed in their shock. Just what did Su Yu do? Why did this young man become so enigmatic and terrifying in such a short time? It truly felt like he was omnipotent.

Prior to this, they had thought that he was only strong with a powerful backing. But now, he had surpassed that. He was now unfathomable and mysterious.

Su Yu continued, “Also, a quarter of the Death Realm is now under my control. I am gathering the ancient human marquises to do battle for me. The ancient Marquis Lanshan, He Tu of the first epoch, and many other ancient human experts are gathering in the Death Realm. They will conquer the Death Realm for me.”

Su Yu’s presence swelled as he declared, “Living and dead, both shall fall under my rule. After pacifying the myriad races, I shall bring the war to the realm above. Gentlemen, are you willing to fight alongside me?”

Silence descended. His words shocked everyone there. No, his words terrified everyone.

Some looked at each other blankly. Some found their blood boiling in excitement. And some had pensive expressions. Suddenly, someone roared, “I am willing to fight for the holy lord! Together, we shall wage war against the myriad races!”

Su Yu remained silent.

Great Zhou King continued staring at Su Yu with an utterly complicated expression. After a long while, he slowly dropped to one knee, lowered his head, and said, “I am willing to fight for Emperor Yu and unify the Myriad Realms!”

The others stood there blankly, at a loss as to what they should do.

Submission.

This time, he was not demanding their acceptance. Rather, he was asking for their submission.

Great Zhou King, the sole human Daofuse in existence, had submitted.

While the various Invincibles were still at a loss, Xia Longwu, Silk Destroying King, Great Xia King, and a few others looked at each other before dropping to one knee. Together, they roared, “We are willing to fight for Emperor Yu and unify the Myriad Realms!”

At that, the Invincibles started dropping to one knee one after another. Some did it in confusion, while some did it knowing full well what this entailed. From now on, they were no longer equals.

Su Yu had successfully subdued the various experts. Even those who were still secretly dissatisfied with him could only hide their feelings. As of this moment, submission was their sole option.

Su Yu’s presence continued to grow. When everyone was down on one knee, he gestured at them to stand back up and said, “Rise.”

At that, everyone stood up. The complicated expression on Great Zhou King’s face vanished. All his previous doubts about Su Yu vanished. He was looking at someone who would build a new empire.

This was not Hundred Battle King. This was Su Yu.
