Tribulation of Myriad Races

After leaving the main hall, Su Yu went straight to the Death Realm. This time, he had a major task to complete: Determining the corresponding coordinates of the various realms.

This was part of his preparation to attack the various realms. He aimed to capture the Daofuses apart from the ones from the divines, devils, and immortals. Excluding the six in the three major races, Heavenly Overseer Marquis and Bountiful Treasure, there were eight Daofuses among the other races.

“Heavenly Overseer Marquis and Bountiful Treasure will not enter any realms. If we do attack the other realms openly, it is likely that Tiangu and the others will ignore it.”

Su Yu was deep in thought as he moved.

Heavenly Overseer Marquis. Paper dao.

Liu Hong. Ink dao.

He had to find Liu Hong as well. That fellow had initiated dao fusion. His speed of growth was surprisingly fast. Since he had grown stronger, Su Yu naturally had to put him to use.

***

Death Realm.

The first place Su Yu visited was Xing Yue’s castle. He was quite curious about the stone he had found. Thus, he visited Xing Yue first to learn more about it.

Inside the castle.

When Xing Yue saw Su Yu, she asked with a frown, “Why are you here again?”

This guy had returned way too fast.

Su Yu smiled and said, “I am here to report that you now dominate the Myriad Realms, Lord. I killed several Daofuses not long ago. I’m here to report on the progress of our conquest.”

Xing Yue didn’t even feel like responding. What a load of bullshit. Dominating the Myriad Realms? And how would that have anything to do with her?

While working on her black flowers, Xing Yue asked, “Where are the flowers you promised?”

With a wave of Su Yu’s hand, countless flowers appeared. But the moment they appeared, they started withering. Next, golden light erupted from Su Yu’s body. The power of fortune did not fear the corrosion of death qi. He wrapped all the flowers in the power of fortune, protecting them from corrosion.

Su Yu smiled and said, “Lord, I brought you many flowers.”

When Xing Yue first saw the flowers, she was overjoyed. But she suppressed her joy quickly and said with a snort, “I want the flowers you showed me previously. Where are they?”

Su Yu smiled and said, “Those are flowers Fat Ball has taken care of for over a hundred thousand years. Even losing one will make him cry. Lord, I couldn’t bring myself to do it, so I switched to different flowers. In truth, these flowers are a lot more beautiful than the ones at Culture King’s place.”

Xing Yue snorted again, but she said nothing. She approached the colorful flowers, unable to hide the joy within her. She crouched down and stared at them for a short while before asking, “They can’t be preserved for long, right?”

“Don’t worry, Lord. Only a little bit of power of fortune is required to maintain them. As long as I’m alive, my fortune will remain, and these flowers will remain.”

“Oh.”

Once again, Xing Yue returned her focus to the flowers. Before long, she started moving the flowers around, decorating her castle with them.

As of this moment, a tiny bit of life filled the castle.

Seeing that she was in a good mood, Su Yu smiled and said, “Lord, I followed your order and dug out your buried treasure during my visit to Culture King’s place. But…I don’t understand what it is.”

Su Yu took the case out, opened it, and revealed the stone within. It remained completely unaffected by the death qi in the air.

When Xing Yue looked at the stone, hesitation flickered in her eyes. After a long while, she said, “I don’t remember. These memories are too old. Perhaps this was something I took away from home? I think so. I hid it at Culture King’s place because I was scared of being discovered by my family.”

Su Yu had a pensive expression. Family…

After a long while, he asked, “Do you know the Human Emperor, Lord?”

Was this a family of Human Emperor?

“I don’t remember.” Xing Yue said, “These people were too powerful. Their very presence could distort the past and future, messing with the memories of death spirits. You can try asking Marquis Lanshan. She won’t remember Culture King’s face well either.”

Su Yu blanked out.

Xing Yue said, “Yes, she remembers Culture King. But if you ask her in detail, she won’t be able to recall much. To recover our memories of these supreme experts, we need to grow strong enough.”

After thinking about it, Su Yu nodded in agreement.

“Do you know what I can use this stone for, Lord?”

“I don’t know.” Xing Yue answered nonchalantly as she continued decorating her castle. Noticing that Su Yu was still following her around, she felt slightly embarrassed at her answer. Since Su Yu had brought her so many flowers, perhaps she should put more effort into it?

Thus, she dug into her memories. Alas, she could only remember bits and pieces of her memories. After a long while, she said, “This might…might…be something you use to stabilize laws?”

Su Yu blanked out, “What?”

Xing Yue explained, “I don’t remember everything. But I recall hearing that this item can stabilize a realm. I must have been fooled by Time Sage to bury this thing there and stabilize that residence.”

Su Yu’s eyes flickered as he said, “Lord, you mean this thing here can stabilize the River of Time?”

“Maybe.”

Su Yu’s heart thumped. Stabilizing the River of Time! What was the strongest thing in existence? As far as Su Yu was concerned, it was no Master or Law or Celestial River of Death. Rather, it was the River of Time.

And this piece of stone was capable of stabilizing the River of Time? Was this a joke? What was the River of Time? The origin of all daos! The source of the myriad daos!

Regardless of whether one was pioneering a new dao or fusing with an existing dao, the action would cause the river to fluctuate and ripple. But if he could suppress the power of the river and calm it, wouldn’t the act of further fusing with a dao become much easier?

Numerous thoughts emerged in Su Yu’s mind.

Su Yu had some other ideas. As of late, he had been gathering more blood essence and corpses. Heavenly Forge King and the others were also forging the things he required for his Mark of Civilization. He wanted to follow Time Sage’s path, pursuing and gathering the myriad daos.

But Su Yu was also worried that the myriad daos would be too powerful to be held in his Mark of Civilization. The Book of Time had endured because it was more powerful. More importantly, an expert must have helped with the suppression of the daos in the book. Also, the daos Time Sage had collected were actually still quite weak.

After all, she hadn’t killed enough. She hadn’t collected enough. Was that stone really capable of suppressing the myriad daos? Numerous thoughts emerged in his mind. Perhaps he could really give it a try.

He now had a decently powerful force under him. Some of them were even at the level of a heavenly king. The old turtle had also been comprehending his dao lately. He might reach the same level soon. It was also only a matter of time before Great Xia King and Great Qin King reached the same level.

Great Zhou King was already very strong, even if Su Yu was unsure about his actual level of strength. As for Wan Tiansheng, Su Yu suspected that Wan Tiansheng was already stronger than him.

Su Yu might be the core of this alliance, but he was not strong enough. It was never healthy for the ruler to be weaker than the ruled. Also, people like Martial Emperor and Hundred Battle King would return one after another. These people wouldn’t be easy to handle either.

Thus, Su Yu was in somewhat of a rush to grow further. This stone might help.

At that thought, Su Yu said, “I’ll give it a try later. Lord, do you have other treasures buried in the Myriad Realms?”

“…”

Xing Yue glanced at Su Yu and asked, “What do you think?”

Why was this guy talking about treasures all the time? How uncouth. Su Yu smiled. He wasn’t too bothered. So be it.

After some time, Su Yu checked the time and said, “Lord, enjoy your flowers. I’ll be leaving to finish some of my tasks.”

“Go.” Xing Yue said nonchalantly, “Remember to bring me some food from the world of the living during your next visit. Let’s see if we can preserve food here as well.”

“Sure.”

Su Yu agreed easily and left.

The moment he left, a wide smile bloomed on Xing Yue’s face. She stared at the flowers before her, mesmerized. She couldn’t help but admit that the plants from the world of the living were still much better. As of that moment, the desire to go back to life started sprouting within her.

She had never felt like this before.

***

Su Yu did not waste his time and started sensing the locations of the seals.

Marquis Lanshan held the human lord’s token, but with his access to the fortune of humanity, Su Yu could still sense the locations of the seals. Of course, he would be able to sense them better with his token in hand.

After all, there was a separation of life and death between him and the seals. The power of fortune could pierce this separation, but there was still a separation. When Marquis Lanshan returned, Su Yu retrieved his human lord’s token. Only then did it become easier for him to sense the seals.

***

West Heavenly Domain.

After West Heavenly King’s death, the domain had been taken over by Marquis Lanshan and the others. Inside the domain, atop a random mountain peak, Su Yu’s token started shining.

It was very faint.

The map of Great Xia imprinted on the token was blinking.

Behind Su Yu, He Tu and the others waited nervously.

Su Yu focused calmly. After a while, he exhaled in relief and said, “It’s the Great Xia seal. It’s right above us. It is the Ape Realm.”

He smiled. The first set of coordinates was found.

Ape Pseudo Emperor.

Su Yu said, “Deploy some people here. Have one death marquis and ten death sovereigns seal this place down.”

Then, Su Yu left a golden imprint in the air.

With that, the spot was marked.

Very good.

Ape Pseudo Emperor had lived long enough. It was time for him to go to the afterlife. But it wouldn’t happen immediately.

Su Yu would only act after discovering the other coordinates as well. As for Marquis Lanshan, she issued the orders before waiting in excitement. This was really working! They could really attack from the Death Realm.
