Tribulation of Myriad Races

Su Yu’s hands might be trembling, but he had to maintain his imposing aura. He had to show everyone his boundless confidence. He was so confident he didn’t even fear the Daofuses.

One by one, the stone statues started returning. All of them were in a great mood after a good fight. Most had not killed anyone, but they had blasted numerous tri-life bodies apart. In truth, they had been fighting with many misgivings.

It wasn’t that they couldn’t kill. Rather, there was no need to do so. Killing too many might result in unexpected consequences. Thus, they settled for destroying some tri-life bodies instead.

Thus, barely any Invincibles had died to the stone statues. Even so, many of these Invincibles were still returning with great sadness. After this battle, about twenty or thirty of them had been reduced to singles.

Grandstar was back in his city as well. The moment he reached, Heavendoom flew over and looked at Su Yu before looking at the White Jade Gate. He laughed and asked, “Is there really an old monster in there?”

Su Yu smiled, “Didn’t you guess his identity?”

“That was merely a blind guess.”

Heavendoom said, “The Martial Emperor…was a being from a very long time ago. Even for us, he was merely a legend. But I couldn’t tell everyone that it was merely a guess, right? When I saw the expression on our boss’ face, I had to say something. Am I right?”

Su Yu was rendered speechless. Was that how it was?

Shortly after, Empyrean Cloud flew over as well. With an annoyed expression, she grumbled, “That slut Han Xiang is quite strong…”

Su Yu thought that if Empyrean Cloud wasn’t on his side, he would have assumed that she was some major villain from how she was speaking.

Wait…a realization hit Su Yu. Weren’t they…the villains in this story?

Ads by PubRev Just look at what he made those Invincibles do? Just look at what he accomplished just by talking?

They had forced the sole Invincibles of two races to die. They had called Han Xiang names. They had colluded with death spirits. They had released the old monster suppressed by the Martial King. They had gone against the heavenly laws.

These…were essentially the actions of super villains!

Su Yu rubbed his chin as he sank into thought. So he was the villain here?

And his enemies were the righteous ones?

Following the same line of thought, these people were essentially the resistance to the tyranny of humanity. Thus, the humans were the villains all along.

How terrifying.

“What are you thinking about?”

Empyrean Cloud asked when she noticed the odd look in Su Yu’s eyes.

Su Yu coughed awkwardly and said, “Nothing. You are truly domineering and amazing, my queen. Don’t worry about that slut. I managed to kill Wisdom King today. I would get her killed one day as well.”

Hearing that, Empyrean Cloud grinned from ear to ear. That was the right thing to say.

Su Yu exhaled and said, “Thank you, Lord Guardians. I can’t express my gratitude enough. I can’t do much, but I can let each of you out of the city for three days and three nights during the next three months. I will take on the burden of the death tunnels alone. Just make sure to not go out all at the same time.”

“Hahaha! Very well! This is what we have been waiting to hear!”

“Three days…it’s a tad bit too short. Fine, fine, I’ll accept this.”

“That is acceptable.”

“Not bad. Where should I visit during the three days?”

“The Divine, Devil, and Immortal Realms won’t be easy to visit. Why don’t we have a trip to those minor realms? Or maybe the Human Realm?”

The guardians started planning their holiday in excitement. It was a short holiday, but they had been trapped for a hundred thousand years. Thus, even this short holiday was incredibly valuable for them.

As for the many deaths earlier, they did not care. What was the big deal about that? They had witnessed nine epochs. Such deaths were not new for them. At the end of each epoch, people would die en masse. Invincibles would die like bugs. War would spread everywhere. That was how things had always been.

At the same time, the various Invincibles started returning as well.

Great Qin King was heading toward Su Yu with a group of people.

Instead of entering the city, they stopped outside. Great Qin King looked at Su Yu and asked, “Are you interested in returning to the Human Realm?”

Su Yu smiled, “My father is still there.”

“If you feel like going back, just do it.” Great Qin King said, “The human race will naturally welcome the arrival of Su Yu, the leader of the holy cities, with due respect. As for the minor matters of the past, just let it go if possible. If you can’t, you can keep it in your mind. When you grow strong enough to suppress the Myriad Realms, you can naturally do whatever you want about these matters.”

Su Yu cupped his fists, “Great Qin King, you’re too kind.”

Great Qin King did not stay for long. As he started leaving, his voice drifted over from afar, “You saved us this time. I consider this a personal favor. Feel free to seek me out if you need something. I believe I can still fight a few battles before dying.”

“Thank you.”

Su Yu cupped his fists again and watched as they departed.

Great Qin King and the others had played a crucial role in his confrontation against the myriad races. Great Zhou King had also played a big role, deterring more experts from joining the battle. Because of Great Zhou King, many Daofuses had given up on joining the battle.

The battle wouldn’t have ended so easily otherwise. Not even his plan involving the Death Realm would unfold so smoothly without the participation of these humans.

As the experts started returning, a figure stood alone in the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion.

He was shrouded in a bleak atmosphere. The Earth and Profound Department heads had died. The North Chamber head had died. The enforcer elder had died as well. Meanwhile, the West Spire and South Chamber heads had spent the entire day fighting each other without any result. Eventually, they stopped.

Standing at the entrance of the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion, the Heavenly Overseer Marquis watched as the injured South Chamber head returned gloomily.

Two spires, two chambers, four departments, and the enforcement unit…

Out of so many Invincibles, only him and the pavilion master was left. Far away, the West Spire head gazed at the Heavenly Overseer Marquis silently.

The Heavenly Overseer Marquis met his gaze with a complicated expression. He sighed and said, “There is no need for you to look at me like that. We all have our own paths. It is the tenth epoch. Victory or defeat might finally be determined this time. This isn’t a bad thing. In this final epoch, we can all follow our hearts.”

The West Spire head said, “Marquis, you received the favor of Culture King back then. You should have sided with the humans. Is this betrayal worth it? Is the Heavenly Hunt Index worth it?”

“Is it worth it?”

The Heavenly Overseer Marquis laughed. Who could say for sure? He did not say more. Instead, he looked toward Su Yu, who was also looking at him. He regarded Su Yu for a while with a deep gaze before leaving with the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. As he departed, his voice drifted over from afar, “The Culture King wasn’t as brash.”

Those were the only words he had to say.

Su Yu did not say anything. Rather, he contemplated the words in silence.

The Culture King was not as brash?

He nodded, “Thus, he was a failure. He failed to thoroughly terrorize all of you. Otherwise, none of you would dare to betray him even after his death.”

He laughed and continued, “Heavenly Overseer Marquis, if I were Culture King, I would have killed enough that you wouldn’t even dare to entertain the thought of betrayal even after a hundred thousand years. You are right. I’m better than the Culture King.”

“…”

The Heavenly Overseer Marquis, who was already far away, stiffened slightly at that. He had never said those words! He had never said that Su Yu was better than the Culture King! That wasn’t his meaning when he said that the Culture King wasn’t as brash! How did Su Yu reach that conclusion?

The old turtle, who had just arrived, also coughed awkwardly. What an unique interpretation. Was this person incapable of feeling shame? The kid had grown arrogant enough to even talk badly about the Culture King. Was he not afraid that the Culture King was still alive?

“Su Yu!”

“Lord!”

Su Yu bowed respectfully. The old turtle was indeed strong. And he had helped greatly this time. Alone, the old turtle had kept two Daofuses occupied. When the old turtle saw the guardians gathered around Su Yu, he knew what they were doing. They were delaying their return. They didn’t want to part with their freedom.

“You…sigh. It doesn’t matter anymore. Pay the Grand Dream City a visit when you have the chance.”

He had more to say, but Heavendoom and the others lacked tact. Since they were not leaving, he didn’t feel like saying those words anymore.

He looked at Heavendoom and berated, “Heavendoom! Stop messing around!”

Heavendoom nodded solemnly.

The old turtle frowned and continued, “Don’t unseal yourself so rashly next time…”

Heavendoom continued nodding like an obedient boy. The old turtle was greatly surprised. Since when did this monkey become so obedient?

Grandstar laughed and said, “Boss, even if you tell him he’s an idiot, he will still nod obediently.”

The old turtle blanked out slightly before realizing something. He cursed in fury, “Did this bastard seal his hearing?”

Heavendoom continued nodding. He couldn’t be bothered to listen when the old turtle was nagging. Thus, he decided to seal his hearing and keep nodding. For him, this was the best solution to keep both himself and the old turtle happy.

The old turtle was so infuriated that he started laughing instead. When Heavendoom saw the old turtle laughing, he nodded again. Since his boss was laughing, things should be fine, right?

Beside him, Grandstar grinned and poked him. When Heavendoom turned to face him, he said, “Boss said that you’re dumb. He also said that you’re brainless.”

Noting that Grandstar was pointing at the old turtle while speaking, Heavendoom continued nodding. Even Grandstar couldn’t resist laughing in amusement.

“Heavendoom, you’re stupid. Right?”

Grandstar continued even as he assumed an earnest expression in front of Heavendoom. Beside them, Empyrean Cloud yawned and stealthily sent a tiny strand of willpower into Heavendoom’s ears.

Finally, Heavendoom heard Grandstar’s voice, “Heavendoom, are you stupid? Wow! So you agree as well? Are you Heavendoom the Dummy?”

Boom!

Heavendoom sent Grandstar flying with a punch.

He looked furious.

Meanwhile, Su Yu was left completely speechless. Why were they so…childish? At their age, why were they still playing such a childish game?

The old turtle sighed regretfully and said, “They have all gone mad after so many years of lockdown.”

After having a taste of freedom, these guardians had all released their true nature. The old turtle wasn’t surprised to see that. Noticing that Heavendoom could finally hear again, he snorted and said, “If you keep causing trouble, watch out for my punishment!”

Heavendoom protested, “How did I cause trouble? Am I as good as Su Yu at causing trouble? Su Yu did everything! How is this my fault? You can’t blame me for this!”

He felt that his boss was scolding him unfairly. Sure enough, he would be annoyed if he could hear his boss. The old turtle felt even more helpless. He decided to let it go. This ape had been locked for a hundred thousand years, but he was still as unruly as ever.

“I’ll be going back now. The Death Realm is in chaos.”

Then, the old turtle left. He had to deal with the chaos in the Death Realm. A lot more death sovereigns had arrived due to the short presence of living beings there. He had to disperse them or they might decide to work together and attack one of the ancient cities. That would be troublesome.

Also, he had to figure out more about the Marquis Qishan mentioned by Su Yu. He was unsure if Marquis Qishan had really appeared. Earlier, he was too busy to pay attention. Now that one trouble was over, he had to handle another trouble.
