Tribulation of Myriad Races

Hundred Battle King’s expression changed slightly. The eyes of Evergreen and the others flickered. Su Yu...was forcing Hundred Battle King to make a stand. His voice was spreading everywhere. All of humanity could hear him.

He wasn’t even being overbearing. As someone who had spent only a few years gathering strength, he offered to handle a faction with multiple Masters of Laws. Meanwhile, Hundred Battle King’s side only needed to handle the myriad races that had already been greatly weakened by Su Yu. Was this a fair arrangement for them?

Too fair.

Should Hundred Battle King agree?

Su Yu continued, ”Brother Hundred Battle, you have a galaxy of talent under you. You have eight Venerables, and both Nephew Zhou Ji and you are Masters of Laws. Two Masters of Laws, eight Venerables, more than ten heavenly kings, and dozens of Daofuses. This is more than enough to crush the myriad races.”

Shock spread everywhere. Was Hundred Battle King...that powerful?

Inside the Divine Realm, the Consort Emeritus was greatly alarmed.

Just as Hundred Battle King was about to speak, Su Yu continued, ”Dozens of Daofuses vacated their dao for you, Brother Hundred Battle. You are the number one genius of humanity in a hundred thousand years. You also have an inspiring relationship with Yue Luo.

”You were already as strong as ancient human kings six thousand years ago. At present, you are probably stronger than even Martial Emperor. As for Nephew Zhou Ji, I find it hard to believe that he’s not already a Master of Law.”

Su Yu only gave Hundred Battle the opening to deny Zhou Ji’s strength. But he worded his statement in a way that Hundred Battle could not deny that he was a Master of Law as that would be the same as calling himself useless.

He was already capable of matching human kings six thousand years ago. Yue Luo was on his side, so even his being sealed away had been a mere act. Was he trying to say that he had remained stagnant for six thousand years?

That would reduce the so-called number one genius in a hundred thousand years into a joke.

Hundred Battle King gave Su Yu a deep gaze and said, ”I have been separated from Ji for too long. I don’t know his current strength. But in our current world, talent alone is not enough to reach that level.”

Su Yu laughed, ”True that. So be it. Even if Nephew Zhou Ji isn’t a Master of Law, you should have more than enough strength to handle the myriad races, right? If you’re really finding it hard, I can even lend you some Daofuses. Together, we will pacify all enemies. Don’t worry. My Daofuses are all humans. They were all born in this epoch.

”You are too strong, so there is no way forward in the physical body dao. I had no choice but to find other avenues of advancement for them. And finally, they are all Daofuses. Please don’t look down on them for being weak, Brother Hundred Battle.

”They are incomparable to all of you. The legacy of humanity was severed, so their only choice was the physical body dao. But even the physical body dao was a dead end. No legacy, no accumulation, and relative youth. They were forced to grow through slaughter alone.

”For five hundred years, the humanity of this epoch fought, killed, and died. Only then did they produce a small number of Eternals. Left with no choice, I forced them to abandon the physical body dao before they could become Daofuses. Please don’t look down on them.”

And then, his laughter rang out everywhere.

These people had no ground to dislike his people for being weak, as these people were the reason for their weakness. These people were the ones who had blocked the physical body dao and severed the human inheritance.

The new-age humans had only started growing into the Daofuse Realm recently under Su Yu’s help. It hadn’t been easy for them. In fact, it had been very difficult for them. They walked a history of blood and tears.

Behind Hundred Battle King, some lowered their heads with shame. With these words being spoken so clearly before the Myriad Realms, anyone with a sense of shame would feel ashamed of themselves.

Every single word of Su Yu seemed targeted at their very mind.

Su Yu continued, ”Brother Hundred Battle, can you handle the myriad races? Or perhaps you don’t wish to cooperate with me because I’m too weak? Because I’m unworthy?”

Hundred Battle King sank into silence. Noticing Hundred Battle King’s struggle, Evergreen hurriedly said, ”Human Lord Su, we need to further discuss this matter—”

Su Yu asked sharply, ”Are you the human lord? Or is Hundred Battle the human lord? Are you making the decision for him? Brother Hundred Battle, be straightforward and say no if you’re unwilling. If you’re unwilling, I alone will fight the myriad races and sinned lineage. Humanity has been relying on itself for six thousand years. For six thousand years, we were alone. Yet here we still stand.”

Su Yu’s voice boomed, ”If you’re unwilling, I only beg that you don’t turn humanity against each other. I alone will bear the blood debt and wrath of humanity.”

Hundred Battle King sighed inwardly.

Su Yu. Oh, Su Yu.

What a remarkable Su Yu.

What could he say when all this was being spoken in public?

How could he even reject the proposal?

Hundred Battle King sank into hesitation. He had indeed been forced into a corner by Su Yu. This was their first encounter, yet Su Yu had pushed unyieldingly.

If he agreed, he would need to actually do something against the myriad races. Otherwise, he would be known as an oathbreaker and a race traitor. In such a situation, he could lose at least half of his current subordinates.

With the myriad races occupied, could Su Yu kill Yu Qing and the others? He had Martial Emperor and many Venerables on his side. He had a high chance of succeeding. How should this proposal be rejected? Suggesting a further discussion?

Hundred Battle King knew that the right option was to agree. But after some thought, he said, ”My subordinates, Yue Luo and Yue Xiao, are more familiar with the sinned lineage. Perhaps I can handle the sinned lineage instead—”

”Sure.”

”...”

Hundred Battle King was stunned.

Su Yu said, ”I am fine with that. In that case, you will handle the sinned lineage while I deal with the myriad races. Since you claim to know the sinned lineage well, I believe you can stop them from taking a step away from the Hell Gate.”

It did not matter who Hundred Battle King wanted to handle. As long as Hundred Battle King agreed to handle one of the two, Su Yu would deal with the other.

And if Hundred Battle King somehow failed after agreeing, it could only signify that he was either trash or...a traitor.

Su Yu said, ”This is your choice, Brother Hundred Battle. With us brothers working hand-in-hand against external enemies, humanity will prevail. This will be the era where humanity reclaims its glory.

”Since you know the sinned lineage well, I believe nobody from their side will appear out of nowhere to get in my way while I’m dealing with the myriad races, right?”

”...”

Silence descended.

Absolute silence.

Hundred Battle King knew that he had fallen into a trap.

After a short silence, he said, ”That is only natural.”

In that case, he could only pick the best option. He would handle the sinned lineage while Su Yu fought the myriad races.

”But I am an elder of yours. If you manage to defeat the myriad races before I can defeat my target, please don’t be in a rush to reinforce me. Give me some time and an opportunity to salvage my face.”

Su Yu laughed, ”How can that happen? I’ll be looking forward to your reinforcement after you defeat your target. I believe you will be the first to win. How about this? We will aim to complete this in three months. A battle between top powerhouses will be over in an instant. In fact, we can start the fight right away.

”However, I can see that you might need a short recuperation. After all, you might have forgotten how to fight a war after six thousand years of rest. Take three months and prepare yourself well. After three months, humanity will reign supreme in the Myriad Realms.”

Suddenly, thunderous roars rang out in the Human Realm.

”Humanity will reign supreme!”

”Humanity will reign supreme!”

”Humanity will reign supreme!”

Numerous people roared in excitement.

Human lords of two epochs had agreed to join hands against the myriad races and traitors. Everyone was elated to hear that.

”Emperor Yu is wise! Hundred Battle King is wise!”

Numerous roars rang out.

The thirty-six prefects were leading the masses as humanity cheered.

Three months!

Hundred Battle King’s answer did not matter. The moment Su Yu said that, they all knew what they should do next.

Dragging things out?

Nope. Not a chance.

Hundred Battle King remained silent. As for the people behind him, some were excited, some were agitated, some were frowning, and some were uneasy. Clearly, this era no longer belonged to Hundred Battle King.

This was no longer the era six thousand years ago. Su Yu was the victor of this encounter. Yes. Anyone with a brain could see that Su Yu had won. He loved standing in a position of moral superiority to push others. And this time, Hundred Battle King was his victim.

Hundred Battle King had no way of refusing his request. A refusal would turn him into a race traitor.

Hundred Battle King shut his eyes for a short moment before opening them again. He looked at Su Yu, smiled, and said, ”Let’s...do this.”

Su Yu laughed, ”Many thanks for your assistance, Brother Hundred Battle. I am pleased with the result of this meeting. In that case, I’ll return in three months. Together, we will unify the Myriad Realms and reclaim the glory of humanity!”

And then, Su Yu turned around, showing everyone the back of a carefree and refined man with fluttering white robes before vanishing into the River of Time. Hundred Battle King stared at the sky for a very long time.

Those behind him had different reactions to this, and someone muttered gloomily, ”Your Majesty...why don’t we attack the sinned lineage in three months? We are not weaker than that kid. Since he can do it in three months, we can do it as well. After all, the myriad races won’t get in our way anymore.”

It was Extreme Martial.

Evergreen hurriedly pulled at his sleeve.

Fool!

Had he forgotten what His Majesty had said previously?

That was not His Majesty’s goal!

Extreme Martial laughed, but inwardly, he was sighing. Yes, he knew that. But...but he wanted to fight! He wanted to demolish the sinned lineage! Perhaps...they could find another path forward after demolishing the sinned lineage, right?

Why wouldn’t His Majesty consider a different path?

Su Yu had agreed to handle the other faction. This was a good thing. How would...the old brothers around them react when their side failed to produce any result, even after Su Yu had defeated the myriad races?

Extreme Martial maintained his usual innocent smile without saying anything else.

Su Yu. What a remarkable Su Yu.
