Tribulation of Myriad Races

Upstream.

Just as Xing Yue finished speaking, Human Emperor frowned. He had a rough idea of what Su Yu was doing now.

He said, ”That guy...is messing around!”

Xing Yue was only a messenger. Seeing that her elder brother was angry, she said, ”Just hand them over. Since you don’t want them anymore, just do it. Don’t you want to make him the next Human Emperor? Just give him the seal, then. Are you trying to monopolize the seal?”

”...”

Human Emperor was furious. What nonsense! Also, was she listening to herself? What was he monopolizing here? That had always been his. How was holding onto something that was his monopolizing it?

He said, ”You don’t understand...”

Xing Yue shrugged, ”It doesn’t matter. It’s fine as long as Su Yu understands. Can’t you give it to him?”

How exhausting. Human Emperor felt like crying. Was this really his little sister? Who was she speaking for?

”No, he’s trying to—”

”It’s not like he’s the bad guy.” Xing Yue grew angry as well. ”Big Brother, will losing the seal affect you?”

”...”

Not really.

Before Human Emperor could say anything, Xing Yue said, ”See, it won’t affect you but you’re unwilling to hand it over. Big Brother, are you reluctant to part with power? Have you gotten so used to being an emperor that you’re not willing to hand over your power?”

”...”

Human Emperor had a sudden urge to give Xing Yue a beating.

”Come on, Big Brother. It has only been a moment here, but a long time has passed there.”

”...”

This was truly exhausting. Human Emperor thought that perhaps he should just drop dead and die here.

As Xing Yue kept urging Human Emperor, he gnashed his teeth and tossed the two seals into the river. And then, the two seals followed the power of Su Yu’s world and drifted downstream.

Even after doing so, Human Emperor cursed, ”He’s being rash!”

”He’s saving you. Learn to be grateful!”

Xing Yue was not stupid. In her most recent return, she saw Su Yu’s world with her own eyes. She could guess that he was most likely trying to save her big brother. That was why she had been urging her big brother to cooperate.

Su Yu was saving her big brother.

Human Emperor’s expression changed slightly as he asked, ”You noticed?”

He was quite surprised.

At that remark, Xing Yue looked at him with an unfriendly expression. What about it? Was she so stupid? Su Yu was not the type to do something for no reason. After observing her big brother’s reaction and thinking about this from Su Yu’s perspective, it wasn’t hard for her to guess the truth.

Was it that hard? Had her big brother been looking down on her intelligence all along?

Xing Yue questioned, ”Is it so surprising that I noticed? This is so simple. Do you think I’m too stupid to notice? You always doubt me. Back when I said that my subordinate would come to save you, you didn’t believe me. What about now?”

”...”

Human Emperor was left completely speechless.

Suddenly, his expression changed.

***

At the same time, two seals were plucked out by Su Yu from the river.

Ignoring Great Zhou King, who was staring blankly, Su Yu roared and punched, sending a large stream of dao power forth before grinding Xing Yu’s token into powder. A massive amount of power leaked out and flooded Human Emperor’s world, further stabilizing the world.

At the same time, Human Emperor’s seal settled down in the world. Su Yu released the powers of countless daos and started organizing the daos inside Human Emperor’s world. He intended to make the Human Emperor’s seal into the foundation of the world.

That would allow this world to stay stable without relying on the River of Time like his world. The growth of the world would slow, but this was very fitting for the current Human Emperor.

Su Yu had already planned everything out. Human Emperor could fuse with his world before infusing his human emperor dao from the river into his world. With this, his world would have a much higher level of compatibility with him than before.

As for whether this was what Human Emperor wanted...Su Yu did not care. He had already planned everything out. Both seals were essentially gone. The world had also been detached from the River of Time.

Human Emperor could decide for himself if he really wanted to refuse. Since Human Emperor was a nice guy, he should sit around and let someone else plan things out for him.

Human Emperor’s world was rapidly stabilizing.

At the corner of the world, the powerful Human Emperor’s seal stood as it stabilized the world. In fact, this world had even surpassed Su Yu’s world in stability due to how powerful the foundation was.

The world had been weakened while the seal was as powerful as ever. Thus, it was more than capable of stabilizing the whole world.

There weren’t that many daos in Human Emperor’s world. Su Yu had gathered thousands of daos before creating his world, but he found that there were only hundreds of daos in Human Emperor’s world.

”I see. Human Emperor has only comprehended a few hundred daos. Trash.”

Su Yu laughed. He didn’t even bother to lower his voice. Thus, Great Zhou King was rendered speechless yet again. Had this guy gotten addicted to insulting Human Emperor?

Su Yu grinned. Yes, this felt great.

Previously, Human Emperor had even claimed that his world was quite well-made. He was simply unwilling to risk it. What nonsense. Human Emperor was clearly not as talented. Yes, Su Yu had benefited from Time Sage’s collection, allowing him to gain an initial understanding on a large number of daos.

But Human Emperor was much older, yet he had only comprehended a few hundred daos. How useless. As far as Su Yu was concerned, the more books one read, the more daos one would grasp. Clearly, Human Emperor had been slacking in terms of reading.

Su Yu’s single Book of Time was comparable to ten thousand books.

After joking around with himself for a bit, Su Yu sealed the connection between Human Emperor’s world and Human Emperor’s seal. The world shook as the seal became one with it.

At the same time, Su Yu was withdrawing the influence of his world. It hadn’t even been that long, but the powerful Human Emperor’s world had been weakened by half its strength. However, its stability had also increased significantly.

Meanwhile, the Dao Origin Land was no more. The previous barrier slowly faded away. Only a plot of land the size of a village remained.

Great Zhou King’s expression changed as he asked, ”Your Majesty...did you compress His Imperial Majesty’s world to this size?”

”What’s wrong?” Su Yu laughed, ”This is the fitting size for his current strength. He can’t digest a world too powerful. Alright, this is all. You can now consider me a benefactor of Human Emperor. When he returns, fuses with this world, and feeds his human emperor dao into this world...I believe he can remain a peak tier-two or barely reach the first tier. This isn’t a bad price to pay for his survival.”

At the very least, he wasn’t dead. And it was even possible for him to remain as a tier-one. What was there to be unhappy about?

Great Zhou King laughed helplessly. But next, he nodded and said, ”Perhaps Your Majesty is right. Only by being alive will there be hope. His Imperial Majesty is greatly talented, and he also has rich experience in cultivation. He only needs some accumulation to return to the top.”

Su Yu shrugged. That wouldn’t be up to him. It would be up to Human Emperor himself. In any case, he had paved the way forward. It was up to Human Emperor what he wanted to do next.

”Xing Yue.”

Once again, Su Yu summoned her. And once again, she appeared. She couldn’t resist asking, ”Didn’t you say that I should move around too much to avoid interfering with the flow of time?”

”Oh, this will be the last. By the way, tell Human Emperor to return as soon as possible. Take a trip back, fuse with his world, and recover. This will keep him alive lest he dies by accident. That’s all.”

”There is hope for my big brother?”

”It has never been a hopeless situation.” Su Yu said indifferently, ”He was merely being stubborn about it.”

Su Yu disagreed with Human Emperor’s opinion. His plan was much better. Sure, this would result in the loss of one or even two tier-ones on their side. But so what? What was the big deal about tier-ones?

He would think of a way to overcome their opponents. As long as one was willing to think, one would be able to find a way out. Human Emperor only needed to focus on staying alive.

Su Yu was in a great mood. He had completed something so big on his first day back.

”Go back and tell Human Emperor that this is the second time I’m saving his life. He owes me two lives. He’s not allowed to die without my permission. That’s all.”

Two lives? Xing Yue was feeling quite doubtful. Was that the case? Whatever. She was only the messenger.

***

”Fuck!”

Human Emperor was cussing. He couldn’t hold back anymore. He couldn’t maintain his prim and proper image anymore. Who owed that kid two lives? That kid sure was good at counting.

Human Emperor was greatly sorrowful. Did he not even have the freedom to die anymore? The kid had decided for him...What was the kid doing? The kid had essentially removed two tier-ones from their ranks.

Human Emperor was certain he would be able to produce two new tier-ones without the kid’s interference. But the kid had ruined everything.

Of course, he could persist and ignore Su Yu’s plan. But...fine. With Su Yu’s interference, he would only be able to produce one tier-one. But one tier-one might not even be as useful as having Human Emperor himself around.

Human Emperor sighed deeply. But next, he laughed, ”Fine. That kid seems to know himself very well. He knows that he won’t be able to shoulder everything without me.”

Human Emperor’s mood improved significantly after viewing the matter from a different angle.

Su Yu must be terrified of his death. The kid was terrified that he wouldn’t be able to shoulder everything alone. Human Emperor was feeling very smug. Sure enough, he was still number one. He was still greatly important. Everyone was terrified of losing him.

Even back then, Wen Number Two was terrified of losing him. In each battle, Wen Number Two would charge ahead and fight on his behalf. And now, Su Yu was doing the same. Yeap. Human Emperor was simply too important to lose.

Xing Yue rolled her eyes and said, ”Big Brother, he’s telling you to go back and fuse with your world as soon as possible.”

”What’s the rush?” Human Emperor said, ”The myriad races are still here. How can I leave now? We’ll talk again when he’s back here.”

Then, Human Emperor sent his little sister away. He spent even more time consoling himself, but soon, he sighed again. That kid was fooling around! Even after fusing with his world, it would be very difficult for him to regain his peak strength. That required time, and time was what they lacked now. Su Yu was clearly aware of that.

Human Emperor wouldn’t have bothered to place his hope on others if recovery was really an option. Su Yu had appeared too late. If Su Yu had appeared decades or even a century ago, Human Emperor would have opted to walk down this path even without Su Yu pushing for it.

”I’m already old by the time you come around.”

But it was too late. Human Emperor sighed again. Yes, this would preserve his life. But what would the kid do next?

The moment Human Emperor severed his dao to recover, the kid would come to learn just how heavy this burden was. The snapping of Human Emperor’s dao would create a massive disturbance. The myriad races would definitely interfere. Su Yu would be faced with yet another crisis.

Human Emperor had complicated feelings about this. He was gratified, but he was also feeling quite helpless.
