Tribulation of Myriad Races

“Seniors!”

Su Yu forced himself to speak up lest they really started viewing him as food.

“Prince, wake up!”

His voice turned heavier as he reminded the little furball to start working.

“Oh…”

That worked. The little furball jumped in shock and shouted, “Dada! I’m back!”

“Oh.”

The big furball nodded. So?

It wasn’t like he didn’t know where the little furball was all along. Why was this worth an announcement?

Noticing his father’s indifference, the little furball sulked for a short moment before saying, “Dada, this is my fruit farm!”

Huh?

Su Yu blanked out slightly before looking at the little furball with dangerous eyes.

Him? A fruit farm?

Well well.

What a good answer.

The little furball hurriedly blinked, signalling that this was a lie. Yummy shouldn’t mind his words.

Su Yu cursed inwardly. Who was the little furball trying to fool here? That was definitely the little furball’s inner thought.

The big furball ignored the little furball and took another deep sniff before saying, “So yummy. I really feel like eating…”

“Dada!”

“Senior!”

The big furball said, “Don’t worry, I’m not eating you. You seem to have the Time Sage’s inheritance. I can’t eat you rashly. I don’t want to turn into a corpse for that fellow to collect after returning from time.”

“Time Sage?” The female furball looked at the big furball doubtfully.

The big furball had a look of recollection as he said, “Time Sage. Don’t you know? That was a very powerful fellow, traversing the Myriad Realms with the River of Time as the vehicle. Whenever the Time Sage appeared, that fellow would say: Your end is nigh! I’m here to collect your corpse!”

The big furball shook his head with a look of recollection.

“Yet such a supreme expert…had ultimately vanished. When the Time Sage vanished, even the Culture King lamented the loss of a formidable opponent.”

“…”

Su Yu blanked out slightly before asking, “Are the Time Sage and Culture King not the same person?”

Was that not the case?

The big furball looked at Su Yu doubtfully and said, “How are they the same? They are two different individuals. What gives you the impression that they are the same person, Little Guy?”

“…”

Su Yu blanked out again. No? How was this possible?

“But the Heavenly Hunt Index and the Time Sage’s inheritance…”

“Oh…the Heavenly Hunt Index?” The big furball said, “That was a divine weapon the Culture King forged by imitating the Time Sage’s Book of Time. It was very powerful, but it failed to capture the essence of the Book of Time.”

Once again, Su Yu was stunned.

The Time Sage and Culture King were two different individuals. The Heavenly Hunt Index was a copy of the Book of Time, not the real deal.

This…was completely different from his guesses!

The big furball asked with an odd expression, “You thought they were the same person?”

“Yes…”

The big furball said, as though it was the most obvious thing ever, “Why would you reach that conclusion? There are no similarities between the two…wait, no. They share a similarity with you. Both love wearing white robes. Are you the same person as them as well? Also, each time the Time Sage appeared, that fellow appeared as a female human. Culture King was a male human. How could they be the same person?”

“…”

Su Yu continued blanking out. He had just arrived, yet he had been shaken to his core by the big furball’s words. A woman? The Time Sage was a woman!

Holy shit!

The big furball said, “All those rumors were mere guesses. I met the Time Sage myself. I even saw the Time Sage in a conversation with the Culture King before. It was a long time ago. But I didn’t see her anymore after that last meeting.”

Su Yu hurriedly asked, “Uhm…can we talk inside? I come bearing gifts…”

“Gifts? Food?”

“Right, right.”

Su Yu dashed through the entrance. He did not want anyone to see him here. Before long, he found himself inside the Soul Devourer Realm. The source qi in there was shockingly dense. The realm wasn’t big, but it was filled with heavenly source fruit trees.

Su Yu recalled something and said, “Senior, these heavenly source fruit trees here…uhm…I heard that heavenly source fruit trees only grow from the corpses of top experts.”

“Yeah!” The big furball said, “I only eat characters. My wife only eats seas of willpower. We bury everything else, and they will all grow into trees.”

Su Yu started sweating again.

He was totally facing two ferocious beasts.

Two extremely dangerous beasts.

No wonder there were so many heavenly source fruit trees here. So these were all their victims.

How terrifying.

Sure enough, the soul devourers were not to be underestimated. Just look at the little furball. He would have no feeling when feeding on others. He would not feel a thing.

Su Yu calmed himself and took out the two gigantic heavenly source fruits he had prepared.

The big furball appeared interested as he said, “What a big fruit, but it’s fake. To grow a fruit so big, you need to bury a Pseudo Emperor.”

“…”

Wow.

The female furball happily accepted her gift and swallowed it immediately. It sure feel good to sleep after eating! It didn’t matter even if this was a fake fruit since it tasted the same as the real deal.

The three furballs started flying toward one of the trees. Su Yu looked over and noted that this tree was particularly large. It was at least a kilometer in height. And numerous massive heavenly source fruits hung from its branches. In fact, the fruits were as big as the two big furballs.

Before long, the three furballs reached the top of the tree. On the tree top, a nest made of numerous golden leaves could be seen. The golden leaves were soft yet durable.

The moment Su Yu stepped on the nest, he felt a dense stream of source qi flowing into his body from the leaves.

How dense.

“Senior…under this tree…”

The big furball knew what Su Yu was asking. He nonchalantly said, “Oh, a strong marquis was buried down there. It wasn’t me. It was Culture King. When Culture King defeated the marquis, the marquis was dying. When I saw that the marquis was still breathing, I dragged him back, ate his characters, and buried him.”

A strong marquis. How strong was strong? Someone even the big furball would call strong would most likely be a peak Daofuse.

Su Yu was left speechless. Recalling something else, he asked, “Many years ago…Em…Empress…”

The female furball looked at him in confusion. Was he talking to her?

The big furball said, “Just call her Flatbun. That’s her name.”

Su Yu said awkwardly, “Cough, cough. Uhm, a few years ago, Senior Flatbun killed a divine Invincible. Why didn’t she take her corpse back here to be buried?”

He remembered hearing about that before.

In fact, Great Ming King had benefited from a free divine king corpse.

The female furball was bouncing around randomly when she heard that. She nonchalantly said, “Oh, oh. I remember that. I was in a rush to eat Tiangu. When I saw a descendant of a human king, I tossed the corpse over as a gift.”

“Descendant of a human king?”

Su Yu hurriedly asked, “Control King?”

“No?” The female furball said doubtfully, “I don’t think so…he didn’t feel like one…”

Su Yu exhaled in relief. He asked, “Are you sure Great Ming King is a descendant of a human king as well?”

“Oh, was that Great Ming King?”

The female furball said, “The humans have quite a few Eternals who are descendants of human kings.”

Those bearing the bloodlines of ancient human kings would find it easier to rise in power even in this era.

Just look at the Xia and Zhu Families. Including the hidden descendant of the Control King, there were indeed quite a few human king descendants among the present human Invincibles.

“Am I a human king descendant as well?”

Su Yu was curious about that. Since the furballs could see through the bloodlines of these people, would it be possible for them to directly determine the identities of all these human king descendants? Could they expose the hidden traitor as well?

The female furball said, “Throw a punch with all your strength. We can only notice your bloodline when you’re releasing enough strength to trigger your bloodline.”

Su Yu nodded. The old turtle had also said that the bloodline imprints would only appear when one was fighting with full strength. Meanwhile, the imprint Su Yu had seen through the memory fragments was likely something the traitor had deliberately shown due to their insecurity.

Su Yu did as told and threw a punch with all his strength.

The three furballs stared at him. After a while, the big furball shook his body and said, “Nope. I didn’t see any ancient human king bloodline in you.”

Su Yu was feeling doubtful. Was he not one?

Why was he so gloriously talented, then?

There was no denying that he was exceptionally talented in both physical and willpower cultivation. He had thought that he had a powerful bloodline as well. But that wasn’t the case. Did the golden book somehow modify his aptitude or something?

Su Yu thought about it and asked, “Perhaps…I have the bloodline of the Human Emperor?”

“…”

The big furball stared at Su Yu like he was looking at a fool. After a long while, he said, “The Human Emperor left no bloodline behind.”

What was this fellow thinking?

Su Yu didn’t know what to say. Was that so?

Was the Human Emperor an old forever-alone?

It was quite rare for Su Yu to meet an ancient fossil who was also close to the Culture King, so he couldn’t resist asking.

After calming himself somewhat, he asked respectfully, “Senior, you said that the Culture King and the Time Sage were not the same person and the Heavenly Hunt Index is merely an imitation of the Book of Time. So was the Heavenly Hunt Index an originally complete weapon?”

“Yes.”

The big furball plucked a random heavenly source fruit and handed it to the little furball. Then, he plucked another fruit that was much bigger. While eating, he said, “That used to be a complete weapon, but it was subsequently broken apart and scattered everywhere.”

Su Yu took the fragment with the record character out and asked, “Senior, is this a part of the Heavenly Hunt Index?”

The big furball sniffed it and said, “The smell is similar. I guess so.”

“You guess?”

Su Yu asked, “Are you sure, Senior?”

The big furball answered lazily, “I’ve never eaten the Heavenly Hunt Index. How am I supposed to be sure? But they do smell the same.”

Su Yu asked thoughtfully, “Senior, I believe this is a fake product. Do you think that’s possible?”

“Is that so?”

The big furball answered uncaringly, “Well, sure. It’s fake.”

He did not seem to care one bit.
