Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 1681: Culture King’s Residence (3)

After waking up from his reverie, the little furball said in surprise, “So yummy! Yummy, this tea is yummy! I’m now a Sunmoon!”

Su Yu frowned slightly and asked, “Are there no heavenly rewards?”

The white dog asked curiously, “What heavenly rewards?”

Su Yu answered, “Normally, when geniuses advance, they will receive some rewards from the laws…”

“Oh.” The white dog explained, “There is no such thing. The rewards and punishments of the laws…I think I remember hearing about them before. My master and the others were the ones who had set those things up. This place is beyond the reach of the laws.”

Understanding dawned on Su Yu. Yes, the laws were established by Culture King and the others. In that case, how would their private territories be subjected to the control of the heavenly laws?

No wonder.

At this point, a large number of Su Yu’s characters had advanced. Even so, a mere pot of tea was not enough to solve the current crisis.

Even if he could grow all thirty of his characters into the Sunmoon Realm, and even if his willpower made the breakthrough as well, it would probably be as strong as an Eternal at the first or second degree at most.

What could that even do for his current crisis? Treasures were not what he needed most for now. Of course, he wouldn’t say no to treasures at the level of this tea. But what he truly lacked was something to deal with Daofuses. A little growth here and there wouldn’t help too much.

He inhaled deeply and solemnly said, “Senior, are you really helpless? Is there nothing you can do?”

The white dog hesitated as he said, “Daofuses…a lot of Daofuses…this won’t be easy. Things would be fine if my master were around. But my master isn’t here. I can’t leave…”

The white dog continued, “Tell me more. Explain the situation in detail and I’ll think of something. If I must, I can ask someone else about this…”

Su Yu was completely stunned.

“Senior, are there others staying here as well?”

“Nope.”

“Then…who would you ask?”

The white dog explained, “I’ll ask the tea plant. The tea you drank earlier. The tea plant has developed sentience as well. I can ask it. It has the ability to boost one’s intelligence. If it doesn’t know, I can also ask the book spirit. The Myriad Dao Sutra written by Master developed its own sentience after Master and Little Master left. It knows even more than me!”

Su Yu blanked out. There were two other beings here! To be precise, two natural-born beings. Such beings were not that rare. The spirit race was one. The five elemental race was one. Even the Heavenly Overseer Marquis was a so-called luck spirit.

The soul devourer race could be considered a type of spirit as well. And there were two of them here. The white dog was an organic being while the two were natural beings. One was a tea plant while the other was a book.

Myriad Dao Sutra.

A book written by Culture King?

Was that…an impressive book?

Could he read it?

Su Yu suppressed his desire and explained humanity’s current situation to the white dog, including the enemies they were facing. He even made humanity seem much more pitiful than it was, claiming that the Human Realm would be broken into soon.

Pity wasn’t a bad thing to have at this moment.

The white dog, book spirit, and tea plant should be good enough to stop three Eternals, right? That was better than nothing.

After a while, the white dog said, “Wow. You guys are so pitiful. Even the dragons and phoenixes are beating the humans up? Back then, they were very obedient. My little master used to take so many of them back to eat. Do you know that you can vomit from overeating dragons and phoenixes…”

Overeating…dragons and phoenixes?

Su Yu’s face twitched. Just how many dragons and phoenixes did the Time Sage kill to achieve this? The current dragons and phoenixes would probably go crazy after hearing about this.

Su Yu had thought that the Time Sage was the one who had eaten all those dragons and phoenixes. But next, the white dog said, “I don’t want to eat dragons and phoenixes ever again. I vomited so much because of them. I don’t want to eat meat anymore. But Little Master kept feeding me! She said that I needed to eat and grow big enough for her to ride me around! I could enlarge my body temporarily, but she wanted my natural size to grow as well…”

Holy shit!

So it was this dog that had vomited from overeating dragons and phoenixes?

Not the Time Sage?

Su Yu could already imagine the scene of the white dog being forced to devour the pile of phoenixes brought back by the Time Sage…

Su Yu looked at the white dog. Yeah, the white dog was indeed quite small. He was the size of a toddler about a year or two in age. He was indeed too small to be ridden. Was the Time Sage planning to traverse the Myriad Realms on her dog instead of the River of Time?

The white dog said, “So you need to withstand a lot of death qi to release those ancient guardians, right?”

“Yeah. When I reach my limit, they will be forced to withdraw from the battle.”

At that, he released some of his death qi as a demonstration. Even here, his connection to the death qi was not severed.

Seeing that, the white dog hurriedly spat on Su Yu. Instantly, all the death qi was extinguished. The white dog said anxiously, “Death qi will worsen the environment here! Don’t use death qi here! Little Master will be angry if the plants are dead when she returns!”

Su Yu was completely dumbstruck. He couldn’t even react when his powerful death qi was extinguished by a single spit. At present, he was drenched with saliva. The saliva felt even more useful than the tea as his acupoints were madly absorbing the saliva on his body. It felt even more effective than the Emperor’s Saliva he had gathered in the Luminous Domain Mansion.

Su Yu stared blankly. Just how…strong was this white dog?

Eternal?

What?

He couldn’t even react to the spit.

Previously, the death qi in his body was so dense that he was nearing his limits. But with that one spit, he felt his body completely emptied of death qi. The heavy burden he was feeling previously was gone.

Refreshed, he felt that he could keep the ancient guardians fighting for much longer than before.

The white dog continued complaining, “Don’t release any death qi here! Also, why do you have so much death qi in your Heaven Gate? Remove the death qi or you’ll turn into death spirit…”

Su Yu asked with alarm, “Can you see my Heaven Gate?”

The white dog nodded, “I wasn’t paying attention, but I saw it the moment you released your death qi. You have so much death qi in it! There’s even a line connected to your body. Did you get converted by a death spirit?”

That was his connection to Xing Yue. Not even Su Yu could see it, yet the white dog could.

The white dog asked, “Do you want it severed? I can do it for you…”

“Not for now.”

Su Yu inhaled deeply. Something…wasn’t right here.

After a slight hesitation, he asked, “Which degree of the Eternal Realm are you in, Senior?”

“Degree?” The white dog blinked in confusion and asked, “What do you mean? An Eternal is an Eternal. The pioneer of a new dao. By opening a new dao, you become an Eternal. When the dao you open reaches the level where it can imprint itself upon the world, it will become a law.”

Su Yu hurriedly said, “In that case, a Daofuse is also an Eternal. Are you a Daofuse, Senior?”

“A Daofuse is a Daofuse.” The white dog said, “And an Eternal is an Eternal. They are not the same. Eternals are pioneers of original daos. Daofuses can only walk the dao of others. When you walk the dao of others and reach a certain level in it, you become a Daofuse. Don’t you know this? Eternals and Daofuses are different.”

“…”

Su Yu inhaled deeply. Something became clear to him. The white dog had a completely different definition of Eternal and Daofuse. For the white dog, an Eternal was someone walking a unique path. Someone walking the path of others would be a Daofuse.

Thus, the white dog could very well be as strong as a so-called Daofuse even when he was calling himself an Eternal.

Su Yu asked, “What do you call someone walking the dao of others but stuck at a much earlier phase?”

“Oh, we call that Daomeld.” The white dog explained, “When you start the fusion with the dao, you will be known as a Daomeld. Upon reaching a certain level, you will become a Daofuse. And if you go further, you will master a law just like an Eternal.”

Essentially, the destination of both was the same, even if the process was different. One would be akin to laying an egg personally, while the other would be akin to getting someone else to lay that egg. But in the end, both would become masters of laws.

“Senior, have you reached a level comparable to a Daofuse in the dao you opened?”

The white dog answered, “More or less. But there are too many Daofuses. I alone won’t be enough. You said yourself. There are a lot of them.”

But Su Yu was thinking differently.

The white dog had claimed to be an Eternal, and Su Yu had understood that as a regular Eternal. According to the modern definition, the white dog could be considered a Daofuse as well. Basically, he had a Daofuse with an original dao in front of him.

Su Yu’s heart thumped. He had to persuade this fellow to leave!

What about the tea plant?

And the book spirit?

If both were the same in strength, wouldn’t there be three super Daofuses here? That would be incredibly helpful! This was the chance he had been looking for!

Su Yu’s brain spun rapidly. He only needed to get these three out and that would be enough to solve humanity’s current crisis!

He had to do it!

But how?

He grew anxious.

The white dog was refusing to leave because he wanted to guard his home.

Just then, the white dog looked at Su Yu with an odd expression and said, “Stop spinning your eyeballs around. It’s clear you’re trying to fool someone. It’s too obvious. New Guy, are you here to steal from Master?”

“…”

Su Yu’s expression turned awkward. Was he so obvious? He had always been confident in his acting.

“Senior, humanity is on the verge of being wiped out. And upon destroying humanity, the myriad races will be here. They will definitely try to destroy the house of Culture King and Time Sage as well. Senior, why don’t you go with me and kill all those people before coming back here?”

“Don’t lie. They can’t reach this place.”

The white dog shook his head. That wasn’t possible.

“You are only here because of Little Master’s book. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have been able to enter.”

What a poor lie.

That would never happen.

Su Yu felt even more helpless than before. Just how should he get this fellow to help?
