Tribulation of Myriad Races

Su Yu frowned slightly and said, ”This is the only way for you to resurrect. You are already slightly beyond me in strength. Even with the Long Life Pill, I don’t have enough life power to support your resurrection.

”Remember, enter the River of Time right after your resurrection and reclaim your previous dao. The world no longer supports the existence of new Masters of Laws, so you will probably remain stuck as a Venerable.”

Xing Yue nodded.

”But it’s pointless to say all this as you might stop caring about all of this after regaining all your memories. Let’s start.”

Xing Yue started devouring the powers of life and death in silence. Her aura continued growing, but she was unable to reach the next level. Su Yu wasn’t too bothered about that. She would remain stuck now, but the moment the restriction was gone, she would probably surpass even her previous strength.

Thus, it was only a matter of time before she reached a new level. In the blink of an eye, Xing Yue grew way beyond Su Yu’s level.

Boom!

Once again, the death spirit dao shook. The time dao shook as well. The powers of the two daos started clashing against each other. Su Yu observed in silence.

This was still not enough. He said, ”Consume the Long Life Pill.”

Xing Yue swallowed the pill. Her life force strengthened, but the pill was not something that would work at a single burst. Rather, it was something that would work over a long period of time. Thus, the tiny bit of life force it granted Xing Yue at this time was still not enough.

Su Yu said, ”Start the conversion. Attack me with all your death qi.”

When Xing Yue looked at Su Yu with hesitation, Su Yu yelled, ”Hurry up! I sacrificed so much for this! You shouldn’t be hesitating. Do it now!”

Xing Yue was slightly angry. ”You!”

Su Yu was always so domineering. Her mood worsened, but she still did as told. A large amount of death qi streamed out of her body before clashing against Su Yu’s Heaven Gate. The gate trembled before converting all the death qi into life force.

But Su Yu frowned and roared again, ”Have you been starving or something? What is this? Use all your death qi, not a tiny bit of what you have. Stop wasting time or the Master of the Perished will return. The being embedded in the River of Time might return as well. Is that what you want to see?”

Xing Yue snapped, ”Can you stop ordering me around?”

Su Yu glared at her and said, ”Shut up! Just do what I say!”

Why was she talking so much?

Xing Yue was furious, but she didn’t dare to drag things out. She had only been holding back because she was worried of accidentally killing Su Yu. Fine. This bastard was asking for a beating!

And thus, a powerful burst of death qi erupted from her body. With a roar from her, all her death qi crashed against the Heaven Gate. The impact was so powerful that a certain willpower started appearing on the Heaven Gate. That was the willpower of the original Heaven Gate.

Was the Master of Death trying to escape again? That was the conclusion the original Heaven Gate reached.

Next, a powerful burst of power erupted from the gate, converting all the death qi into life force. This was a fatal attack for a death spirit. But for Xing Yue, it only served to convert her death qi into life force, completely destroying the balance of life and death inside her.

Instantly, life gained the absolute upper hand in her body. And then, the power of a different dao started streaming out of the hole connected to the River of Time. The dao had arrived to welcome its master. It could sense the return of its master.

As for Su Yu, the powerful clash had sent him flying far away while coughing blood. With a slight frown, he looked toward the intersection of life and death. There, life force was erupting from Xing Yue’s body.

The power of an unknown dao was leaking out of the hole. It wasn’t a dao Su Yu recognized, but he could deduce that it was probably the dao Xing Yue cultivated before her death. As Xing Yue’s aura shifted, her body turned from black and white to completely white.

Around her, numerous powers rushed over to attack her. The death spirit dao itself was attacking her as well. Everything was trying to prevent her resurrection. Suddenly, Xing Yu’s token released a massive burst of power, suppressing all the attacking powers.

When Su Yu saw that, he smiled. Clearly, he no longer needed to do anything here. Human Emperor must have prepared everything back then. Only the powers of life and death were missing from the formula.

A look of pain covered Xing Yue’s face as her memories flooded in. She groaned repeatedly as her aura continued growing. However, she was still stuck, unable to cross over to the next realm.

A powerful attractive force was coming from the River of Time, as though it was welcoming her return. Her dao was pulling her over, seemingly trying to drag her out from her state of death.

Su Yu said, ”Go.”

Xing Yue’s eyes snapped open as she looked at Su Yu. In her eyes, life slowly overcame death.

Behind her, the attractive force continued growing as she gazed at Su Yu with a different look in her eyes. As more of her memories poured in, she found it hard to keep her gaze on Su Yu. Word by word, she said, ”I...my...memories...are being flooded...”

Su Yu nodded.

”I...might...forget you...”

Su Yu smiled, ”That’s not a bad thing.”

And then, a tiny bit of fury flickered in Xing Yue’s eyes. ”You...don’t you...feel the tiniest...bit of regret?”

Su Yu laughed. ”Now now. Don’t get all dramatic. Hurry up already.”

Xing Yue sighed bleakly and said, ”I’ll...be leaving.”

She looked at Su Yu with a complicated gaze and said, ”I...might need to go upstream...after making a full recovery.”

Su Yu frowned slightly.

Even more memories poured into Xing Yue’s mind. She knew she couldn’t last much longer here. She struggled to speak, ”My...elder brother...upper stream...danger! He’s...injured. I must...go. I...control the power of healing. I...specialize in the life dao. Here...I am only a Venerable. Upstream...I can return to a Master of Law.”

Her memories as a death spirit were being pushed aside by the sheer volume of her past memories.

Not capable of speaking anymore, she switched to voice transmission, ”You said that I enjoy growing flowers...because I taught Time Sage gardening. But...that’s not the case...growing flowers...is also an application of life...

”Upstream...everyone is injured. My elder brother has been stuck...I’m afraid I can’t return immediately as well. I must...help the others with their injuries. This will...help them last longer. I’m not...running...I only hope that...they can last longer and buy...more time. Su Yu...grow...grow stronger...or everything will be over for you...when they return.”

Su Yu frowned, ”Are you joining the battle between Masters of Laws?”

Upstream.

That was a battle between over a hundred Masters of Laws. He had thought that it would be fine for Xing Yue to forget him after her recovery. She would be fine in the Myriad Realms. But she might die at the upstream.

Rumbling sounds rang out in Xing Yue’s sea of willpower as even more of her memories returned. Even through voice transmission, she started speaking urgently, ”I am...a healer. I must go...help...them. It has been too long, their...injuries must be heavy...”

Su Yu’s frown grew deeper. Healer?

Suddenly, he chuckled, ”So you’re a doctor. But you somehow died. Does this mean that you’re a bad doctor?”

Initially, Xing Yue had finished talking. But those words provoked her so much that she roared in fury, ”Are you listening to me? I’m not a bad doctor! My death...was an accident. Someone...targeted me. They...feared my life dao...cough, cough, cough!”

She started coughing from her sheer anger.

Su Yu would always focus on something nobody would focus on.

She turned and spoke even faster than before, ”I need to go now. I can still gather a large amount of life power if I leave now. If I wait any longer, I might no longer have enough life power to go upstream. I need to borrow this burst of power to make the push forward. Xing Yu’s token will also help calm the resistance as I push ahead...”

She was going upstream to join the battle there.

Su Yu said nothing else. Human Emperor...was likely her elder brother.

All these super experts were either busy saving their little sisters or elder brothers. As of this moment, Su Yu reached a certain conclusion. It sure was nice being the only child. He did not have to worry about saving any siblings. But upon further thought, he thought that it wasn’t really that bad to have a little sister or two to save.

He also finally understood what the incoming power was. The power of life. How interesting. The Pseudo Emperor of the immortals cultivated a similar dao as well, but that dao seemed to also be somewhat different.

According to Xing Yue, someone targeted her back then. Was she assassinated? At that time, Human Emperor was probably still the human lord.

As numerous thoughts emerged in Su Yu’s mind, he said, ”Are you leaving immediately?”

”Yes...I...can’t stay...or I’ll miss this chance...to go upstream. Without me, they will return soon...maybe in defeat...that would be a disaster for the Myriad Realms...and you...”

As a human, Su Yu would naturally suffer from Human Emperor’s defeat.

She was doing the logical thing.

But Su Yu couldn’t resist arguing, ”Don’t use me as the excuse. You’re helping your elder brother. Why are you saying it like you’re only going upstream for me?”

Xing Yue said nothing. Even more memories poured in.

Shortly after, she roared.

A unique aura erupted from her body.

Almost all the death qi on her had dissipated away. When she looked at Su Yu again, she was looking at him like a stranger. However, slight hesitation still flickered in her eyes.

Su Yu was looking at her as well. He smiled, ”Hello, Xing Yue.”

Some memories came to Xing Yue, but they were too insignificant for her to recall them in detail. She frowned and turned to look at the hole in the river. The Xing Yu’s token in her hand glowed, emitting a different radiance than the usual. She stepped toward the hole without looking back.

With her strength and the token, she reached the hole without much trouble. Only when she was at the hole did she look back at Su Yu. With a cold and indifferent tone, she said, ”I still remember you, Su Yu. You owe me nothing anymore. The debt between us is cleared. Don’t forget that I saved you before as well.”

Su Yu nodded, ”Of course.”
