Tribulation of Myriad Races

Translating...Chapter 2140: Su Yu’s Big Plan (1)

A large amount of physical body power rippled out. The various powerhouses were busy recovering or strengthening themselves. Everyone was in a great mood. Or perhaps a majority of them were in a great mood, not all.

When the panting Stable Army Marquis returned, he saw that they had proceeded without waiting for him. Was he too old? Was that the reason for him to always be a step slower? What was this rate of progress? It was way too fast.

Growth, growth, and more growth. That seemed to be the only thing those on Su Yu’s side did all the time.

In his rush, he started fighting for the physical body dao in the air, but he couldn’t outcompete the stronger experts. Desperate, he moved toward the portion Heavendoom had snatched. That was quite a sizeable portion as well. Why would a monkey need that much physical body power?

***

Everyone continued growing.

Of course, not everyone was busy growing. Beside Su Yu, the less-talkative Heavenbridge Marquis had appeared at an unknown time. Finally, he lost patience and asked, ”Your Majesty, when are we killing Yue Hao?”

He wanted to be a heavenly king as well.

He was still a tier-two Daofuse. Yes, that was impressive. But when he looked at the bunch of heavenly kings down there, he did not feel so special anymore. And he believed that he could become a heavenly king after killing Yue Hao.

”We can also kill Martial Emperor for that.”

Heavenbridge Marquis suggested. Was that a good idea?

Su Yu laughed. What a brazen suggestion.

”Cut the nonsense!”

Su Yu couldn’t be bothered to entertain Heavenbridge Marquis. He looked at the others before focusing on Giant Axe Marquis and March. ”Senior March, has the battle erupted in the Upper Realm?”

”They fought once, but the battle ended shortly after it began. The arrival of the tailless dragon and eight-winged tiger caused everyone to pull back out of wariness for the two powerhouses.”

”How useless.” Su Yu shook his head. ”Why are the myriad races so indecisive? Why are they dragging things out so much? Also, why is the chaos race so indecisive as well? I’m not surprised that the myriad races are this indecisive. After all, there are too many schemers among them, and they are not truly united. The chaos race should have gone all out and wiped them all out before they could react.”

The chaos race wasn’t weak at all. The strength they had shown thus far was likely not their full strength.

March explained, ”The Hell Gate is probably opening soon. The chaos race is probably waiting for that.”

Was that the case?

Su Yu sank into thought. Apparently, the Hell Gate sealed the Chaos Era behind it. Would a large number of chaos beasts appear when it opened? Would Masters of Laws emerge? Would even stronger experts emerge?

In that case, things would get troublesome.

Su Yu said, ”The myriad races and the chaos race must fight. We need them to drain each other’s strength. At present, both are too difficult to handle. The myriad races probably have more than ten Venerables and a large number of heavenly kings on their side.”

Su Yu narrowed his eyes. ”We can’t afford to drag things out. Human Emperor and the others might return from the upstream soon. And that’s definitely not a good thing for us. I am certain they are losing. They might have lost a lot of their top experts. I’m also worried that Control King is also behind the Hell Gate.”

At that, the expressions of March and Giant Axe Marquis changed.

Su Yu said, ”It is unlikely that Control King is fighting where Human Emperor is. It is also unlikely that Control King is on the same battlefield as Culture King. Thus, Control King must have entered the Hell Gate to avoid being dragged off by Human Emperor back then.

”I’m also curious about one more thing. Are the people behind the Hell Gate not capable of leaving now? According to what I know, some of the people from the chaos race have entered the Hell Gate. Are they all trapped inside?”

Su Yu asked, ”Seniors, who do you think I should attack now?”

Giant Axe Marquis gave it some thought and said, ”Why don’t we join hands with the myriad races against the traitors? We don’t know when the Hell Gate will open. When it opens, the chaos race will be much harder to handle. We might as well eliminate the chaos race outside the gate before that happens.

”And when those behind the gate appear, the myriad races will be forced to fight them as well. If you ask me, the myriad races are also very wary of that gate.”

True.

Whether it was Su Yu or Hundred Battle King, their foundation was strong enough for them to not fear Human Emperor’s return so much. But nobody knew how powerful those behind the Hell Gate were. The unknown was always the scariest.

Su Yu sank into thought. Should he focus on the chaos race first?

He rubbed his chin, thought about it, and said, ”Perhaps...we can discuss cooperation with them. I suppose what the myriad races want most right now is to advance into Masters of Laws. The moment the restriction is removed, they will skyrocket in strength. After all, they have more than ten Venerables waiting to advance. But with the restriction in place, they aren’t that big of a threat anymore.”

Su Yu hesitated. The two factions in the Upper Realm were refusing to fight...Well, it was only a matter of time. But how long would it take for them to start fighting for real?

Three months?

Five months?

That wasn’t a lot of time for the myriad races and chaos race. But Su Yu was never the patient type.

He was very busy. He had to go upstream. He wouldn’t be Su Yu if he were the type to wait for the fight to reach him. Would he stay and wait for Human Emperor and the others to return? Nope. He would take the fight to them.

After he was done with the battle there, he could then proceed to take the fight to the Heaven Gate. All he needed to do was kill all the enemies of Human Emperor and Culture King.

It was that simple.

Why should he wait?

Three months? Five months? That was enough time for him to grow into a Master of Law. That was way too long for him to wait around doing nothing.

After some thought, he said, ”I’ll need to scout around and find the way to the chaotic space bordering the Chaos Mountain. That way, I can move my world there. With that, we can run into my world whenever things get dangerous.”

As Su Yu spoke, his eyes flickered, ”I have another idea.”

March and Giant Axe Marquis listened curiously.

What idea?

Su Yu ignored their curious gazes and waited until Wan Tiansheng and the others were there before saying, ”I intend to modify my world and turn it into a sort of secret grotto. I will turn it into a secret grotto that has emerged from the chaotic space, attracting the various factions. Any thoughts about this?”

Silence descended.

Heavendoom couldn’t resist asking, ”Your Majesty, are you returning to your old profession? Are you returning to your scamming ways?”

”Piss off.”

Su Yu cursed at Heavendoom. He was never a scammer!

He rubbed his chin and smiled, ”We have some seniors among us. Can any of you tell me about the treasures or opportunities one might obtain from the chaotic space?”

If there were a precedent, this plan would be much easier to carry out. If not, it would look way too suspicious.

Everyone sank into thought. Suddenly, Grand Dream exclaimed, ”Yes. Do you remember my dao, Your Majesty? A divine mountain. It came from chaotic space.”

Su Yu’s eyes flickered.

Grand Dream continued, ”There are treasures and opportunities in chaotic space as well. How are those chaos beasts supposed to cultivate otherwise? The so-called chaotic space is actually not an empty space. There are some lands floating here and there, but for the most part, only those chaos beasts have the opportunity to encounter these lands.”

Su Yu said, ”In that case, if I modify my world into some sort of ancient land, will it attract the attention of the various parties?”

Everyone looked at each other silently. Finally, Grand Dream asked, ”But what are you using to attract them? Do you have any good things that can attract them? None of them will risk their Venerables without any benefits.”

Good things? True. An empty piece of land would not attract anyone’s attention. Those powerhouses would not waste their time on something like that.

”Only opportunities to advance into Masters of Laws can attract Venerables. I doubt any other treasures can attract their attention.

”But breakthroughs into Masters of Laws have nothing to do with chaos unless they’re actually cultivating the chaos dao.”

Su Yu narrowed his eyes and continued, ”Wait, the chaotic space is indeed not too attractive for the myriad races. But it should be quite attractive for Control King’s lineage. If I do this well, it should work against those cultivating the chaos dao among Control King’s lineage. It’s not like they have no experience going deep into the chaotic space. They had even hunted chaotic beasts there before.”

Numerous ideas emerged in Su Yu’s mind, but he rejected them one after another.

Suddenly, his head snapped toward a certain individual. That individual had not been too conspicuous in Su Yu’s camp. Following his gaze, everyone looked at the girl standing in the distance.

The tea plant was having a casual chat with the book spirit. She hadn’t been paying attention as she never enjoyed using her brain. Noticing all the gazes on her, she looked around blankly. What happened?

Everyone looked at Su Yu again.

Su Yu smiled and said, ”Tea Plant is actually a member of the chaos lineage as well. What if a chaos beast attempting to break through into a Master of Law were to appear? Could this attract the greed and attention of Control King’s lineage?”

What was the meaning of that?

A few of them, such as Wan Tiansheng, understood what Su Yu was thinking. With a slight frown, Great Zhou King said, ”But Tea Plant is still a tier-three Daofuse. Her growth is quite slow, and she hasn’t fused into your world. She is quite far away from a Master of Law. And this plan won’t work without someone actually capable of taking that step forward.”

The Control King’s lineage wasn’t blind. Someone not far from a Master of Law could attract them, but a tier-three or even a tier-two Daofuse would not interest them.

Su Yu licked his lips and said, ”This won’t be a regular advancement into a Master of Law. This will be the advancement of a cultivating tea plant. This is an extremely rare occurrence. Nobody on their side knows about her actual identity, right? They don’t know that she’s actually a tea plant, and they also don’t know that she’s actually a part of the chaos lineage. Even if they know about her, they won’t expect her to make the advancement into a Master of Law anytime soon.

”Her tea leaves are capable of releasing all sorts of dao powers. From afar, one will have the illusion that they can become Masters of Laws just by drinking from her tea leaves.”

”...”

Everyone looked at Su Yu. Was he getting ready to move against the chaos lineage? From what he was saying, was he trying to lure them in with the new world and the tea plant?

Su Yu smiled, ”Any ideas, everyone?”

Wan Tiansheng was the first to speak. ”Your Majesty, are you sure we should take the lead and attack the chaos lineage?”

He said, ”This will render our previous defeat pointless. We feigned a defeat to hide ourselves, not to attack now. Yes, we might be strong enough to face one of those factions now. But we’re definitely not strong enough to face everyone. Not even Hundred Battle King is on our side. If we were to suffer heavy losses from this, the others would be the ones benefiting.”

Su Yu nodded, ”True. Everyone is selfish.”

Su Yu continued, ”Let me put it this way. There are more than three factions in play right now. Our faction, Hundred Battle, myriad races, Control King, and the chaos beasts. There are actually five factions. There are also the unaffiliated powerhouses such as Martial Emperor and Death Imperator. They are currently sealed, but it’s only a matter of time before they’re free.

”The one to fight first will be the one to suffer heavy losses while the rest can benefit from it. Everyone wants to fish in troubled waters, and the same goes for us. Everyone is waiting, and someone must break the peace.

”They are in no rush, but we’re in a rush. In that case, we’ll do something and force everyone to fight.”

Everyone raised their brows. How?
