Tribulation of Myriad Races

After the death of the eagle, no new powerful chaos beasts arrived. However, Su Yu did not dare to be careless with his defenses. Were there really no Masters of Laws in chaos? Nobody could say for sure. Perhaps they were still on their way, or perhaps they were still in slumber. Regardless, he had to be prepared to face such opponents.

Boom!

The chaos lightning was growing in strength. Chaos power continued flooding into the area from all directions to destroy Su Yu’s newly created world. Page after page continued flying out of the Mark of Civilization.

He kept weaving the various daos together. The experts who were done with combat returned their focus to Su Yu, taking the chance to comprehend even more. This was a process of Creation. The entire affair had a holy feel to it.

But Su Yu was frowning. The weaving of the various daos was feeling more and more difficult. Even after splitting the process into three parts, he was still having difficulty weaving the myriad daos of the second part into the overall framework. This was especially true for the daos of the more powerful races, such as the divine, immortal, and devil races. As they were too strong, they clashed against the weaker daos right after they were included.

There was an imbalance.

When the imbalance grew, things could grow troublesome.

Suddenly, a rumble rang out as a dao Su Yu was weaving exploded, causing Su Yu to take several steps back while coughing blood. The surrounding daos started shaking.

”Your Majesty!”

Great Zhou King and the others exclaimed in alarm. In truth, they had long expected this. It was unlikely that Su Yu would be able to complete this without making a single mistake. Even so, they still couldn’t resist worrying when they saw a mistake happening.

What now?

Su Yu shut his eyes and hurriedly stabilized the other daos in silence. Something was wrong with the order. That was why the dao had exploded. The explosion wasn’t due to the imbalance. Rather, it was a matter of order. The dao that had exploded couldn’t be fused with the dao before it.

That was a major problem. If he forced that dao into position, the subsequent daos would also be unstable, and everything might fall apart as a result. He had three thousand pages, and he had only fused about a thousand pages so far. In short, this order would ruin two-thirds of the daos he had left.

Origin Land.

The rest were unaware of the actual issue. They all believed that the explosion was the biggest trouble Su Yu was facing. When they saw that Su Yu was still fine, they exhaled in relief. However, there were exceptions among them. The expressions of some of them changed.

Culture King’s students, Bai Feng, and He Tu could see that something was wrong. This was getting troublesome. Something was wrong with their deductions. They lacked time, so that was inevitable. It didn’t matter if Su Yu had to complete this process with a dao or two missing. But which dao should he use to continue this process?

They had considered this issue during their deductions. They had even prepared some contingencies. However, none of these contingencies could solve this issue flawlessly.

The female death spirit beside He Tu shouted at Su Yu, ”Don’t replace the dao with any random dao. The entire order needs to change to ensure stability. Wait. Wait for us to create a new order. We prepared some contingencies before this. Give us three days. We will give you a new order!”

They had to go through all the daos and find the most compatible daos to continue the process.

***

Su Yu stared at the dao before him with a frown.

Three days?

Who knew what would emerge from the chaotic space in three days? In any case, he wasn’t even sure if he could keep this up for three days. It was very exhausting to keep these daos stable.

”Forget it.” Su Yu replied, ”If I have to, I’ll first form a closed loop with the thousand or so daos already here. The resulting dao will be weaker than expected, but it is still an acceptable result for me.”

The difficulty of pushing on was too great. Su Yu himself had considered this matter before, and his solution was to complete the process with whatever daos that were already in the framework. This would result in a weaker dao. His world would be weak.

Forced to complete the process with only a third of the daos, he would find it hard to even reach the level of a heavenly king. Perhaps he would only be stuck as a peak Daofuse when he was done.

This was annoying, but Su Yu was quite confident he could push himself to the level of a heavenly king. Hopefully, this would work.

Right at that moment, Lan Tian flew back and smiled. ”Where is the disconnect?”

Su Yu looked at the smiling Lan Tian.

At the moment, Lan Tian was using the appearance of Zhao Ming, a familiar face to Su Yu. Even the smile on his face was exactly the same as the smile Su Yu saw back then. It was a carefree and unbridled smile. ”Tell me. Where is the disconnect? Stop wasting time. Are you really trying to wait for more chaos experts to arrive?”

The expression of that female death spirit changed slightly as she said, ”I believe you can let him try.”

Su Yu continued staring at Lan Tian silently, and Lan Tian said, ”I can’t die. With my clones around, I won’t die so easily. When did you become so indecisive?”

Lan Tian still remembered how Su Yu had burned away his lifespan to help Lan Tian previously.

Fellow daoists were rare. One should treasure every last one of them.

Su Yu shut his eyes without saying anything. Far away, Wan Tiansheng hesitated slightly before saying, ”Stop wasting time! Let Lan Tian try it! Tell him about the disconnect.”

Finally, Su Yu opened his eyes again. He gazed at Lan Tian with his clear eyes and smiled, ”Conceal dao. The shadow dao was supposed to come after, but it snapped.”

Lan Tian asked, ”What is the issue? How odd. We did not expect this to be the dao to disconnect when we did our deductions previously. After all, the two daos are too similar in nature.”

He couldn’t understand it. In that case, there was no need to waste his time thinking too much.

Instantly, he created dozens of clones around him. Each of them was smiling as they spoke at the same time, ”Conceal dao...which dao is more suitable now that the shadow dao is the wrong choice?”

Su Yu sank into silence. He had no answer.

Lan Tian chuckled, ”It’s fine. I’ll think of an alternative.”

As he sank into thought, two additional clones appeared. One cultivated the concealment dao, while the other cultivated his chosen dao. ”The conceal dao is a powerful dao. Let me try connecting it to the hide dao.”

He brought the two clones together. The two started shining brightly, but soon, an explosion erupted.

Lan Tian hurriedly protected the conceal clone, allowing the other to detonate. He said indifferently, ”It’s still wrong. If conceal and hide don’t match, the conceal dao might be the problem here. The compatibility is too high to suggest otherwise.”

He was quite bewildered as well. The female death spirt was frowning deeply as well. Shortly after, she said, ”Concealment...the function is similar, but it is essentially a sort of light manipulation. Try the light dao.”

”Sure.”

Lan Tian did just that, but it resulted in yet another explosion. It was still wrong. Lan Tian’s frown grew deeper. He tried about five or six clones in succession, but all of them failed. Finally, Lan Tian started growing agitated. Why were all of them wrong?

Meanwhile, Su Yu was slowly regaining his calm. In that case, it was possible that a compatible dao was too hard to find for the conceal dao. Just what was the issue here? If he had been the one to test all those daos out instead of Lan Tian, his entire Creation would have failed by now.

Right at that moment, Soy Bun spoke from afar, ”Conceal...isn’t concealment a sort of illusion? Just like how when I believe deeply that I’m concealed, others will believe so. Is it a type of willpower disruption instead of actual concealment?”

Su Yu’s eyes flickered. At times, it was too easy for one to be stuck in the same line of thought. Soy Bun might not be the brightest, but he still remembered what Su Yu told him previously. His so-called time dao was not time. Rather, it was a form of willpower disruption. Would the same apply to the conceal dao? After all, his dao could be used in the same manner.

It was likely that Su Yu had made his first mistake from the moment he named the dao. It wasn’t even supposed to be the conceal dao.

Lan Tian’s eyes lit up as he exclaimed, ”That’s possible! We might have been wrong all along! We might have been approaching this from an entirely wrong angle.”

He laughed and said, ”Why don’t we try it with some disruption-related daos?”

Before Su Yu could reply, he created another clone and fused it with the conceal clone.

This time, no explosion happened. Joy flickered in his eyes as he said, ”Try connecting it to the illusion dao!”

Su Yu did as told. Sure enough, no rejection appeared this time. But this was not the end of his trouble. This discovery had completely negated all their previous deductions. He had to come up with a new order on the spot.

Noticing that, the female death spirit said, ”Continue, Lan Tian. Refer to our previous order and try linking the illusion dao with the subsequent daos. At the same time, we will try to find a way to incorporate the daos following the hide dao into the new order.”

Lan Tian did not hesitate to start working on the new order. As they were the ones who had provided Su Yu with his previous order, they knew it well.

He said, ”Observe and continue only after I succeed. Don’t try any combination I can’t link.”

Su Yu nodded.

And then, Lan Tian started fusing clone after clone. He was able to do it quickly as he wasn’t actually fusing these daos. He was merely bringing them together as a reference point for Su Yu.

The subsequent progress was smooth. After connecting about five to six hundred clones in succession, another explosion finally erupted. This signified that they had encountered yet another mistake. However, this wouldn’t delay Su Yu’s progress as his progress was much slower.

While Su Yu was still working on the proven daos, Lan Tian and the death spirits started frowning. Before long, Bai Feng, Wan Tiansheng, and Great Zhou King joined them as well.

”Your Majesty, continue with the process,” said Great Zhou King.

Then, they surrounded Lan Tian and worked together to lay out a new order.

***

Su Yu continued working in silence.

Things should be fine for now since Lan Tian had tried all these combinations in advance. By the time he reached the new point of disconnect, they might have come up with a new order already.

When Lan Tian first offered to serve as the test subject, Su Yu had refused it. But now, he had no choice but to accept the help. After spending a short while in discussion, Lan Tian resumed his test. Soon after, another explosion erupted.

This continued for seven or eight different daos. All in all, he had lost nearly twenty clones to this. Losing these clones was different from the clones he lost in the past. The daos of those clones could be reused for other clones. There wouldn’t be much drain on his dao power. But now, the loss of each clone would damage his dao.

Yes. Lan Tian’s all-life dao was suffering from dao damage due to the tests. However, he appeared completely indifferent about it. He had never expected himself to succeed in pioneering his dao in the first place. It was a complete accident, and his success was owed entirely to Su Yu. Without Su Yu’s help, he would have died during the dao pioneering. Thus, a mere dao damage was not something he cared about.

He wouldn’t die easily from something like this. Once again, they sank into discussion. Even Qi Rong joined them. All help was required, so nobody rejected her inclusion. In any case, Su Yu had allowed her presence during his dao pioneering, so there was no need to exclude her.
