Tribulation of Myriad Races

Fate Pseudo Emperor ignored them all.

Before long, a sleepy eye appeared on his forehead. Slowly, it opened. That eye was rather similar to the Heaven Gate. But at the same time, it was also different.

Originally, Fate Pseudo Emperor’s hair was white yet glossy. But as the eye opened, his hair started withering. His skin was previously as smooth as a child’s skin. And now, it started withering and sagging as well.

He was doing all he could to open that eye. With his third eye, the world in his vision had undergone coma plete change.

He saw many things. First, he looked toward the Immortal Realm. A silhouette appeared above the Immortal Realm. That was Tiangu. He had sensed something from afar. Thus, he had emerged before looking in Fate Realm’s direction.

Fate Pseudo Emperor ignored Tiangu and continued gazing upon the Immortal Realm.

He saw dark clouds converging above the Immortal Realm, and a bloody qi swirled around the entire realm. Numerous figures could be seen falling from the sky. It seemed as though Tiangu was among them, but at the same time, it didn’t seem so.

At this point, Fate Pseudo Emperor’s breathing was starting to grow heavy. He looked in Devil Realm’s direction. The Devil Realm was also shrouded in a bloody qi with countless figures dropping from the sky. The Divine Realm was the same, but it was slightly better off than the previous two.

Before long, Fate Pseudo Emperor felt his eye weakening.

While breathing heavily, he struggled to turn in Human Realm’s direction. But his gaze had barely reached the Sea of Stars when his heart thumped violently.

“Grand Dream City!”

His attention was grabbed by Grand Dream City. He saw golden light flickering all over the city, and he saw numerous threads of fate connecting the city to the Human Realm. His heart thumped violently. What…was that? That old turtle was powerful indeed, but why was the fate of the old turtle so odd?

“No, not the old turtle alone! Those are the threads of fate of numerous people!”

In his shock, he hurriedly swept his gaze over the other ancient cities as well. These cities were covered in dark clouds as well, but there was no bloody qi in any of them. What was the meaning of that?

A certain understanding was dawning on the Fate Pseudo Emperor. And finally, he turned toward the Human Realm. But before his gaze could reach the Human Realm, his heart thumped again.

Boom!

His third eye had exploded before he could see the Human Realm. At the final moment, he saw something between him and the Human Realm. Or to be precise, he saw something right in front of him. Someone had appeared. And that someone had smashed a stone into his third eye, turning it into mincemeat.

Spluuurt!

He coughed a large mouthful of blood.

“Patriarch!”

Several fate race experts rushed over in worry. Endless Passage supported Fate Pseudo Emperor with both hands, worry evident on his face. Behind them, Fallen Star Marquis’ voice rang out, “Fateless, what did you see?”

While coughing blood, Fate Pseudo Emperor said, “I can’t…say. The secrets of heavens can’t be…exposed. This is merely a small trick. It is not important.”

With a frown, Fallen Star Marquis asked, “Did you see humanity’s future?”

“You overestimate me, Marquis. Who am I to pry into the future of humanity and myriad races?”

Still breathing heavily, Fate Pseudo Emperor said, “I only saw a violent, bloody qi covering the entire Myriad Realms. This is an omen of chaos. I saw something similar during the ninth epoch. This time, things seem even more intense than before.”

At that, the expressions of the three marquises changed. Even more intense than the ninth epoch?

Abyss Marquis was in disbelief as he said, “Are you sure?”

Fate Pseudo Emperor coughed weakly and said, “It is if there is faith. It is not if there is no faith.”

He chuckled and said, “Forget it. Not even I believe in this. But I am certain that many will die.”

Nobody could deny that. In war, people would die.

Fallen Star Marquis sent a voice transmission, “I saw you looking in the direction of the Human Realm when your eye burst apart. Was that a backlash?”

“No. It burst because it was too drained after observing several other realms.”

Fallen Star Marquis said nothing else and vanished again.

“The rest of you should go as well.”

Fate Pseudo Emperor smiled and said, “Don’t worry. I’ll look around for a bit.”

The fate experts were worried, but they could only depart, leaving only Endless Passage behind. Once again, Fate Pseudo Emperor looked in Human Realm’s direction. He shut his eyes and sank into contemplation. That scene he saw earlier. Was it the future? Or was it the present?

The person who had broken his eye seemed to be Su Yu. With an odd expression, that person had smashed the eye apart with a stone. Of course, that hadn’t exactly happened in the physical world. Rather, it had happened in the metaphysical world in the thread of fate. Thus, what actually happened was his attempt to pry upon the Human Realm had been blocked by a stone, and Su Yu had noticed it as well. His Heavenglimpse Eye had merely burst apart because it was too weak.

“Su Yu…”

Suddenly, Fate Pseudo Emperor’s eyes widened. Su Yu! He was on that thread! A thread connecting the Human Realm and the Fate Realm! He was already here! He was really here!

It was no illusion. It was no future. It was present. Su Yu was very near. Perhaps Su Yu was right ahead of him. Slowly, Fate Pseudo Emperor’s eyes turned solemn.

Also, what was the meaning behind the flickering golden light in Grand Dream City? What was the meaning behind the dark clouds above the other ancient cities?

Experts, death spirits, and Su Yu…Death Realm! The old turtle isn’t alone. Some experts are hiding there! A lot of them!

Did something happen in the Death Realm? Su Yu has been missing for quite a while. Had he been to the Death Realm? Of the four heavenly kings, three were hostile toward humanity…

Countless thoughts emerged in his mind. Once again, he stared ahead. He had a strong feeling that Su Yu was hiding nearby. Was Su Yu here to attack the Fate Realm? One could never neglect that possibility as Su Yu was brazen enough to try anything.

“Has he pacified the Death Realm? Impossible! But something seems to have changed about the ancient cities.”

Regret seeped in. Fate Pseudo Emperor was furious with himself. Why hadn’t he looked at the allied races of humanity earlier? He could not use the Heavenglimpse Eye so soon after using it once.

Suddenly, he looked at Endless Passage and said, “You are quite familiar with Skyeater and September. Send a message to September. Tell him you’re affirming your dao and invite him to observe.”

Endless Passage hesitated and said, “Is that proper?”

“Do it now!”

Endless Passage was left with no choice but to do it. But suddenly, the air in front of them rippled as his message was blocked from leaving. When Fate Pseudo Emperor looked back, he saw Abyss Marquis. Abyss Marquis said, “That’s an insurance. Forget about sending any messages out. Please keep to yourselves for now.”

Fate Pseudo Emperor said with complete calm, “Abyss, you are interfering in the internal affairs of my race. Do you know the consequences for that?”

Abyss Marquis said indifferently, “This is the wish of all the races, not me alone. Who are you trying to contact?”

“Endless Passage will be attempting his dao affirmation. Since this isn’t a good time for him to leave, I told him to invite some friends over to observe. Is there a problem with that?”

“Postpone it.” Abyss Marquis smiled and said, “There is no rush.”

Then, he vanished with a flicker.

Fate Pseudo Emperor frowned. He could finally feel it. A barrier had appeared around the Fate Realm. It was placed by Abyss Marquis, meant to block all communication between the Fate Realm and the outside world.

Bastard!

Fate Pseudo Emperor snorted coldly.

He did not tell Endless Passage to send another message. There was no need for him to offend the myriad races at this time. Once again, he looked in the direction of the Human Realm with a frown. Suddenly, he thought of something.

At that thought, he laughed. Perhaps…this would make things more interesting. Then, his dao trembled slightly.

***

At the same time.

Somewhere less than a hundred kilometers away from the Fate Realm, Su Yu was hiding amid a clump of clouds. He had also transformed into a small clump of cloud. He was feeling quite curious. Not long ago, he sensed the old fart from fate race spying on him. Thus, he launched a counterattack.

Had he been discovered?

Su Yu could feel a unique power of dao slowly spreading toward him. Thus, he threw a punch by instinct. He had not pulled the stone out and smashed it forward. Then again, the stone had indeed trembled slightly at the time. He had merely ignored it.

“Did they notice me? Well, so be it.”

Su Yu continued observing the Fate Realm. He saw the Fate Pseudo Emperor talking to Endless Passage.

“Old Guy, you sure are sharp.”

Suddenly, his expression turned odd again. He even rubbed his eyes in disbelief before activating his Heaven Gate. And finally, he saw it. Far away, a massive dao had appeared in the sky. It was far, so he couldn’t get a good look. That dao had seemingly scattered.

And a figure had manifested above the dao. That figure had the trademark elegance of the immortal race. Then, the figure transformed into someone shrouded in devilish qi.

A devil?

Then, someone clad in dark robes appeared. A celestial chasm? Su Yu’s eyes flickered. What was the meaning of that?

Celestial chasm, immortal, and devil…

The dao in the sky continued changing. Eventually, it transformed into a door. Three individuals could be seen walking out of that door.

Su Yu frowned, “A door…and three experts. Celestial chasm…Abyss Marquis?”

Su Yu raised his brow and continued, “Abyss Marquis is standing at the back. Are the other two stronger than him? One immortal and one devil. Both from the Upper Realm?”

Su Yu’s eyes flickered. Was the Fate Pseudo Emperor telling him something?

Changing the dao.

At present, it was likely that Su Yu was the only person in the Myriad Realms capable of seeing the various daos so vividly.

How odd.

How did the Fate Pseudo Emperor know about his Heaven Gate?

“Three experts, not one…”

Su Yu frowned. Was this information reliable?

He was unsure. Just then, the dao transformed into an old man with white hair. Was that Fate Pseudo Emperor himself? The old man coughed a mouthful of blood…before turning around to leave.

“What is he trying to see? Am I supposed to guess based on the pictures? Why don’t you transform your dao into a sentence or something? Wouldn’t that be much easier to understand? Why are you doing this? Do you love puzzles? Or are you not good enough to do that with your dao?

“The old man coughed a mouthful of blood before leaving. Is he saying that he’s going to leave due to his injuries? Did he suffer his injuries while spying on me?”

Numerous thoughts emerged in Su Yu’s mind. Just what was going on?
