Tribulation of Myriad Races

Su Yu wasn’t too bothered that he had to spend on this plan. The others were betting their lives on this. What was the big deal about spending some money himself? Wan Tiansheng also started working on the production of a new ruin.

When Su Yu saw how easily Old Wan was able to rip space apart and build a new spatial pocket right in the Heart Cultivating Pavilion, he was shocked.

“Principal, have you been to a real ruin before?”

While absorbing heavenearth profound light, Su Yu was also constantly assigning tasks to others. He had been quite busy recently as well. Even the Myriad Race Cult was constantly asking him questions. He couldn’t even be bothered to respond to all the messages he was receiving.

“Yes.” Wan Tiansheng replied, “It’s quite a boring place. It only has some worn-out items.”

“An Invincible ruin?”

“You can say so.”

“Why are you not an Invincible yet?”

“I was too ambitious in my youth.” Wan Tiansheng replied nonchalantly, “I was not interested in dao affirmation in a ruin. Instead, I split the benefits I found in that ruin with Ye Batian.”

“Carrier treasures?”

“Yes. Each of us got one.” Su Yu nodded, “What exactly is the difference between dao affirmation in the Human Realm, a minor realm, and the Allheaven Battlefield?”

“Strength and survivability.” Wan Tiansheng explained, “A minor realm is the weakest option you can pick. There is no need to talk about that. The Allheaven Battlefield is the strongest option. The Human Realm is the second-best option. And your future prospects will be different depending on your choice. Affirming your dao in the Allheaven Battlefield will grant you a chance to reach the level of a Pseudo Emperor. That was where the existing Pseudo Emperors had affirmed their dao.”

“That doesn’t add up. I thought the Allheaven Battlefield has only been active for a short time?”

“Only for us. The Allheaven Battlefield was available to them much earlier than us.”

“But that will only grant them around a thousand years of headstart. Are those Pseudo Emperors so young?”

“No. Through luck and other coincidences, those people were able to enter the Allheaven Battlefield much earlier than that.”

Understanding dawned on Su Yu. He asked, “Are there stages in the Invincible Realm as well?”

“Yes.” Wan Tiansheng explained, “It won’t be accurate to use the term sub-realm. At the Invincible Realm, or the Eternal Realm, one’s mastery over time, the vastness of one’s sea of willpower, and the strength of one’s physical body are the only things measured. Thus, there is no exact classification for the stages one will go through in that realm. But there is a difference between different levels of strength.”

“How are those levels classified?”

“It’s pointless for you to know this now.”

“I need to know a little, right? I feel like I’m not that far from becoming an Invincible!”

“…”

How confident.

After thinking about it, Wan Tiansheng said, “I’ll give you a simple explanation. If you really want to classify them into stages, Invincibles are split into several tiers. Those Pseudo Emperors are in the first tier. People like Great Qin King are in the second tier. People like Great Xia King are in the third tier. People like Devil King Lade are in the fourth tier. Other regular Invincibles who have affirmed their dao in the Allheaven Battlefield are in the fifth tier. Those who have affirmed their dao in the minor realms are in the sixth tier.”

Su Yu was quite astonished as he said, “So the gap between them is actually that big?”

“Not really.”

Wan Tiansheng explained further, “It also depends on how they use their strength. I might say that Great Qin King is in the second tier, but there is no guarantee that he is not a match for those Pseudo Emperors. A so-called Pseudo Emperor is merely a publicly acknowledged leader. The human race is quite unique in this aspect. Back then, everyone has completed their dao affirmation at around the same time. And humanity has been in constant war. Subsequently, Great Qin King was too busy watching over the border instead of subduing the entire humanity. Thus, he was not acknowledged as the Pseudo Emperor of humanity. Do you understand now?”

Su Yu sighed, “If Great Qin King was able to become a Pseudo Emperor, humanity wouldn’t have fallen so law.”

“Things aren’t as bad as you think.” Wan Tiansheng indifferently said, “Things have merely gotten a little off track. We only need to steer humanity back onto the right path.”

“Are you willing to become the person to steer humanity back onto the right path, Principal?”

Wan Tiansheng laughed, “No. I’m only doing this out of necessity. Furthermore…forget it. You don’t understand. If I’m still alive after all this, remember to keep a distance from me.”

Su Yu sank into silence. After a while, he said, “Principal, you mean…you might end up sidelined by everyone at the completion of this plan?”

“Heh.” Wan Tiansheng laughed instead of answering. He shifted the topic and said, “Do you want my help in opening that case?”

“I can do it myself.”

Su Yu did not push the question. He felt like Wan Tiansheng’s goal was not as simple as killing the traitor. Sure, he had his own guesses, but he did not want to talk too much about it.

For this plan, Great Xia had attracted way too many people over. How would things end for these people? One ought to know that there were a lot of Invincible descendants among these people.

Su Yu didn’t even dare to think too deeply about this. He did not want to bite off more than he could chew. Someone at Wan Tiansheng’s did not need his advice. And thus, the two returned to their work. One was busy forging a new ruin while the other was cultivating silently while working on opening the dragon’s horn case. Every now and then, Wan Tiansheng would say something.

“Here. Corrode this spot with some death qi.”

“Add some heavenly source qi here…”

“There is no soil in a ruin. The ground of each ruin is forged from unique stone-like materials.”

“When we’re done here, we can run this ruin through the River of Time to make it look older. If you did the same to the divine corpse for your previous scam, nobody would be able to notice that it was a fake Invincible corpse.”

“…”

Clearly, Old Wan was an expert counterfeiter as well. His potential had only been limited by his poverty. He was too poor. Even the best cook couldn’t produce a good meal without food. His skills wouldn’t matter if he couldn’t afford the materials required for counterfeiting.

Su Yu was able to learn quite a lot from observing Old Wan’s work.

***

While the two were busy counterfeiting.

Things continued growing more and more chaotic. The geniuses were starting to enter the Human Realm. They were also accompanied by their dao protectors. But these so-called dao protectors were most likely here to act as the main force in the fight over the ruin.

Allheaven Prefecture.

Tens of millions of ferocious soldiers were on high alert. One genius after another stepped out of the realm entrance. Some were smiling while some were looking around curiously.

Human Realm? So this was the Human Realm!

One of them tried moving around and laughed, “There is indeed no suppressive force in the Human Realm!”

“This place feels a lot more comfortable than even the Allheaven Battlefield!”

“The space in this realm is very durable as well.”

“Unfortunately, the source qi density is quite low.”

“Yeah. The source qi density is too low. Interesting. According to the ancient myths, this place might be the heart of the Myriad Realms, the holy land worshipped by everyone.”

A different person countered, “That’s nonsense. I believe this place used to be under our rule.”

Some of the geniuses were debating each other while some remained completely indifferent. But before long, they all sank into silence due to the appearance of several individuals. The purple-haired Mo Duona, the silver-haired Zhan Wushuang, the ethereal Xuan Wuji, the sinister Ming Yue, the cold Soulcurse…

Their arrival stopped all discussion. Meanwhile, the human Sunmoons began to stir. These were the top geniuses of the myriad races. Just killing them all would be able to deal a considerably large loss to the myriad races.

However, they were all accompanied by powerful dao protectors. Over a hundred geniuses had arrived, and around the same number of dao protectors had arrived as well. Almost all the dao protectors were Sunmoons. It was clear these races were not holding back this time.

A genius with long, red hair laughed and asked, “Where are the human geniuses? Come on out and have some fun.”

“Zhan Ta!”

Someone said, “You from the blood fire devil race, stop causing trouble for the devil race.”

The red-haired youth snorted, “Stop trying to order me around. The blood fire devil race is not your vassal. Am I right, Mo Duona?”

Mo Duona didn’t even deign to say anything.

Zhan Ta did not mind that. He laughed again and asked, “Where’s Qin Fang? Where’s Huang Teng? Come on! Let’s have some fun!”

“You’re too arrogant.”

“Impudent!”

The humans were furious. The killing intent of tens of millions of soldiers surged, changing even the color of the sky. However, Zhan Ta remained completely indifferent. It was only some killing intent. What was so special about that? He was a Mountainsea. A fifth-stage Mountainsea. He was very strong.

But he was only in the Earth Index, not the Heaven Index.

At that moment, a loud voice rang out, “Myriad race visitors. You are not allowed to stir trouble, murder human civilians, and fight in main cities. Anyone breaking even one of these rules will be killed without mercy.”

“Humans. No expert above a hundred years of age is allowed to fight the myriad race geniuses. You are allowed to fight and kill the dao protectors.”

“…”

Initially, some of the humans were furious to hear those words. But upon hearing the rest of the sentence, they turned incredibly murderous instead. Understood! So the humans cared about reputation as well. They shouldn’t bully the young. Geniuses could fight each other while the old timers could also fight each other.

A burly, axe-wielding Sunmoon surnamed Wu, the same Sunmoon Su Yu had seen before, also the leader of the War Shrine’s Strength Guard, stepped forth. With a sneer, he said, “We won’t waste our time on these children and their games. The blood fire devils love blood, right? Step forth. Let me experience the feeling of cleaving one of you apart.”

The other human experts also started sneering.

The burly individual standing beside Zhan Ta laughed and said, “Wu Ji, you’re already a ninth-stage Sunmoon. Why are you asking to fight me? That’s boring. Lord Ancient Mountain is here as well. I suggest you have some fun with him instead.”

A different burly man looked at that person and exclaimed, “Wow! So even the blood fire devils have learned to play this game as well? You guys have improved! But I’m not interested. The primordial giant race is only here to watch the show. I will only make a move against the likes of Qin Zhen. It’s inappropriate for me to kill someone like Wu Ji.”

Ancient Mountain, a member of the primordial giant race and an expert in the Dao Affirmation Ranking. He was not the sole Dao Affirmation Ranking expert present. He was here as a dao protector for a genius from the primordial giant race.

Seeing that Wu Ji was about to flip out, Ancient Mountain laughed and said, “Wu Ji, I just don’t like to lie. If you want to fight someone, you’re free to kill that blood fire devil. But don’t forget that the original devils are here as well. Also, it’s not polite to spill blood so soon after our arrival.”

He continued, “Just ignore those kids. They can only talk big here. In the Allheaven Battlefield, they’re all like babies in front of Su Yu, and that’s a human. They’re only so cocky here because Su Yu’s not around. Just ignore them.”
