Tribulation of Myriad Races

Su Yu carried a genial and gentle smile on his face.

Overbearing? What?

Impossible!

Flexibility was paramount. The dignity of a monarch? Pure overbearingness? Ferocity? What could they solve?

South Heavenly King was Culture King’s fangirl.

When shamelessness was required, Su Yu could be the most shameless person possible. After all, he was someone who had been defeated thousands of times before during his time in the academy.

He hailed from the streets. He knew when to bow and when to stand tall. He did not hail from a prestigious family.

As for Marquis Lanshan’s opinion, Su Yu did not care one bit. He was unyielding toward the three marquises because he could suppress them. He had to be firm not to follow in Hundred Battle King’s footsteps.

As he had said previously, he could beg the help of outsiders, but not the help of fellow humans.

South Heavenly King was not a human.

Martial Emperor was incredibly powerful yet Su Yu had not bothered to beg for his help.nHe would only use threats and coercion against Martial Emperor. He would not beg a human to help humanity.

At the moment, he was showing his purest smile.nHe looked like the most obedient child in existence.

When the confused South Heavenly King saw his pure eyes, she felt as though she was looking at the eyes of a certain someone from the past. She couldn’t resist asking, “How old are you now?”

“Twenty-one.”

“What?”

South Heavenly King was alarmed.

Su Yu said, “Twenty-one as per humanity’s calendar. Per the myriad race calendar, I have just passed my second tide.”

Once again, South Heavenly King blanked out. The marquises around them blanked out as well. Even Marquis Lanshan further blanked out.

What?

Twenty-one?

With a tender and innocent smile, Su Yu said, “I entered a human academy at eighteen, and killed my way into the Allheaven Battlefield at nineteen. Alone and helpless, I became a pseudo death spirit. Then, I fought everywhere. Finally, I gained the help of some seniors, surviving until today…

“And now, I finally have the strength to do something for humanity. Fortunately, I received Culture King’s inheritance, gaining the strength to accomplish all this. Without Culture King’s inheritance, I would have died in the Allheaven Battlefield long ago.”

All the powerful death spirits around him felt their minds emptying.

Two years?

Entering the Allheaven Battlefield at nineteen. In two years, he became the human lord, dominated the Myriad Realms, killed East Heavenly King, killed West Heavenly King, and came close to unifying the Death Realm. Was this…real?

South Heavenly King’s face was not as dark as the other death spirits. Her face was slightly yellow in color. Her expression changed repeatedly, and slowly, her eyes softened.

This…was a child!

Su Yu was still very young.

Too young!

He was only twenty-one!m

With a much gentler voice, South Heavenly King asked, “Is your name Su Yu?”

“Yeah.”

Su Yu smiled and said, “It is embarrassing to see the martial mother, weak as I am.”

“No, no, no! You…are great!”

South Heavenly King asked with shock, “How did you subdue humanity in only two years? Were you helped by some survivors from the ninth epoch?”

Su Yu laughed and said, “No. There are survivors, such as Great Zhou King. But alas, I was a lowborn. As such, I was not good enough to receive his favor. Eventually, I joined the multiple character faction, a legacy of Culture King. Even then, they treated our faction as cannon fodder, suppressing us at every turn.

“At eighteen, half a year after I joined the academy, I fled. As a Mental Tempering Stage cultivator, I schemed my Sunmoon enemies to death. Eventually, I became a Skysoar and entered the Allheaven Battlefield, living as the life of a vagabond.”

With the same gentle smile, Su Yu continued, “Culture King’s line has been suppressed for a very long time. After entering the Allheaven Battlefield, the myriad races came after me as well. First, they sent Sunmoons. Then, they sent Eternals. I had to seek survival among death, becoming an ancient city resident. Fortunately, the guardians favored me and granted me shelter.

“But the myriad races were unwilling to spare Culture King’s line. Eventually, even Daofuses started coming after me. Tiangu, Jiwu, Mo Ji, all these people joined hands against me. I had to go to Culture King’s old residence and ask Fat Ball for help. He granted me five drops of blood essence and deployed the book spirit and tea plant. He told me to honor Culture King’s line…”

As if he were merely narrating a fairy tale, Su Yu continued with his pure smile, “And thus, I reached where I am today. I killed the Spirit Pseudo Emperor, Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor, Dragon Pseudo Emperor, and Golden Peng Pseudo Emperor. Subsequently, I suppressed the other lines, such as Great Zhou King, and became the leader of humanity.”

South Heavenly King was filled with shock, disbelief, and fury.

Only twenty-one. The human experts scorned him. Alone, he roamed the Allheaven Battlefield. The myriad races scorned him as well. As a mere Skysoar, he faced Eternals. For survival, he became a pseudo death spirit.

What…a pitiful child!

South Heavenly King was not alone in her shock. This was also Marquis Lanshan first time hearing all these stories.

She forgot everything as she said furiously, “Your Majesty, you are boundlessly talented! How could humanity scorn you? How dare they obstruct you?”

Becoming the leader of humanity after suppressing Great Zhou King.

She heard that!

Su Yu maintained his smile and said, “Well, humanity was in a difficult position as well. Great Zhou King and the others only did all that for the sake of survival. Losing only me is better than fighting the myriad races. The human Eternals did not have the courage to face the myriad races for me. They had to ensure the continuation of humanity. I understand them. At the time, humanity was too weak.”

South Heavenly King said coldly, “Humanity…hmph! I see now. The humans of this epoch are completely worthless!”

She cursed angrily.

She could already picture Su Yu’s experiences in her mind. Weak, delicate, and lonely. Roaming the Allheaven Battlefield all by his lonesome. That loneliness. That helplessness. Only twenty-one…she couldn’t even imagine what he had gone through to reverse his fate and become the leader of humanity.

How unbelievable.

Marquis Lanshan sank into silence as well. Inside, her disappointment toward the humans of this epoch welled.

She gnashed her teeth and said, “No wonder! I had been curious. Even in the previous battle, only non-humans were involved! Tian Yue was the sole human, but he wasn’t even from this epoch!”

Su Yu said, “Yeah. He was a member of the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion, a disciple of Heavenly Overseer Marquis. Heavenly Overseer Marquis betrayed humanity and Culture King. After noticing my inheritance, he sent Tian Yue to kill me. Tian Yue was unwilling. Ultimately, he sided with me. I guess I got lucky and survived.”

“Heavenly Overseer Marquis?”mSouth Heavenly King frowned and asked coldly, “He betrayed Culture King?”

Su Yu sighed and said, “Yes. He tried killing me many times as well. Luckily, some of the experts in the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion pitied me. Some abandoned Heavenly Overseer Marquis as they couldn’t stand his betrayal. After all, the righteous would always receive the favor of others.”

Su Yu smiled again and said, “And this is how I reach my current height. Noticing my benevolence, righteousness, decent talent, and status as Culture King’s successor, the Spirit Suppression Army, hou race, iron devourer race, spatial beast race, Soy Bun, Flatbun, Fat Ball, and the others helped me.”

Once again, South Heavenly King gasped in shock, “In mere two years, you gathered the help of so many races. Indeed! The righteous would always receive the favor of others!”

Even Marquis Lanshan was moved by that story. She knew a little about Su Yu’s past, but not much. She finally found his coldness and overbearingness understandable.

His life had been too difficult. Humanity lacked both the strength and the willingness to help him. He could only rely on himself, constantly dancing at the edge of death. He must have endured countless hardships.

According to Su Yu, many of the people sent to kill him had been touched by him, opting to side with him instead. This was charisma! The charisma of the new Human Emperor!

South Heavenly King had completely forgotten her previous thoughts of Su Yu. Instead, she looked at Su Yu with a gentle gaze and said, “Human Lord, your current achievements are the product of your hardships. Without hardship, how can one grow? Culture King once said that when destiny is about to place great responsibility upon someone, it first tests their resolve!

“You have not brought shame to Culture King’s legacy. With countless difficulties, you were able to reverse everything and ascend to the top! I understand that at present, humanity has gained the upper hand in the Myriad Realms. Is that the case?”

Su Yu nodded, “I suppose. But once the Upper Realm opens…everything might change.”

South Heavenly King frowned. After a long while, she said, “Hundred Battle King was indeed a piece of trash! He wasted all the accumulation of humanity! And you suffered because of him!”

How pitiful!

South Heavenly King was filled with sympathy. A lowborn with nobody to rely on. Alone, he fought his way to his current height. His was a story that would probably unfold over a span of three thousand years for anyone else. But instead, it had taken him only three years.

This was qualified to be a legend, regardless of era.

Su Yu smiled and said, “Let’s not talk about Hundred Battle King. It’s pointless now. I only care about the present. I don’t care about the past and future.”

Suddenly, the purity behind Su Yu’s smile faded as he turned solemn. “I climbed my way up from the very bottom. I am young, thus, I don’t know a lot. I only know that if I want peace, I can only kill my way toward peace!”

His killing intent started surging as an austere atmosphere descended. First, he showed them his gentle, pure, and noble side. And now, he was showcasing his ruthlessness and overbearingness.

But for South Heavenly King, this was perfectly natural! Yes! This was how the human lord who had grown in only three years should be! Gentle and humble inwardly, mixed with a unique sort of charm. No wonder he could gather so many allies outside humanity.

Gentle, domineering, unwavering, stern, smart…

Countless terms emerged in South Heavenly King’s mind.

What a unique human lord!

At that moment, the surrounding marquises started feeling pressured. The surging killing intent of Su Yu was intense enough to alarm even them. Just how many had this human lord killed to produce such a powerful killing intent?

This was the killing intent of a butcher! He was indeed someone who had killed his way up from the very bottom in only three months. Clearly, his real journey was a lot more complicated than what he had said. In his rise, he must have killed countless people. The surging killing intent also attracted the attention of the distant North Heavenly King.

Su Yu met his gaze.

Looking at the burly North Heavenly King, he questioned coldly, “North Heavenly King, do you intend to rebel?”

North Heavenly King sank into silence.

Rebel?

Perhaps. Yes, he was indeed a rebel.
