Tribulation of Myriad Races

Far away.

The eight-winged tiger’s eyes flickered as he cursed inwardly. What could he do about it? At the time, he was already in the middle of a breakthrough. Was he supposed to stop the process? He felt gloomy. He had nearly failed his breakthrough. How unlucky. He started wondering if he should stick to his promise.

Earlier, he had offered himself as Su Yu’s mount to secure his breakthrough.

But now that he was a Master of Law, albeit a weaker one than the chaos dragon, but he was still a middle fourth tier. One would grow stronger breaking through as a Venerable compared to someone breaking through as a heavenly king. In the ancient past, most new Masters of Laws would be at the fourth tier after a breakthrough, since they would all break through directly as heavenly kings.

Furthermore, the eight-winged tiger stood at the very top, even among the other Venerables. He was definitely not weak. He had never thought that he would be reduced to a mount one day.

Su Yu said nothing. Suddenly, the world shook before displacing both the chaos dragon and the eight-winged tiger before Su Yu. The two had broken through, and they were emanating powerful auras. But they were still quite polite before Su Yu.

After all, five Masters of Laws had died not long ago. Furthermore, they were currently within Su Yu’s world. This was an extremely dangerous place for Su Yu’s enemies.

Su Yu gave the two a glance and sank into thought before saying, ”Two options. First, enter the Hell Gate. I will allow that. Second, stay around me obediently. Follow me even if I’m going upstream.”

The two understood what Su Yu wanted to accomplish here. The two looked at each other silently. Should they flee behind the Hell Gate or should they remain under Su Yu? As for the option of retreating back into chaos, Su Yu would never agree to that. Not even Martial Emperor had been given that option. Su Yu would rather kill him than picking that option.

The eight-winged tiger was thinking very hard about the offer, but the chaos dragon answered hastily, ”I pick the second choice!”

He had a very simple reasoning for this choice. The world behind the Hell Gate might be a lot more dangerous. Furthermore, they had offended a lot of chaos beasts previously. Were they supposed to enter and court death?

It was much better to keep following Su Yu for now. They might be able to get even more opportunities to grow with Su Yu.

Su Yu nodded, ”If that’s your choice, still your mind and stop plotting so much in the future.”

He did not even bother to look at the tiger before shifting the two to the border of the world with a wave of his hand. The eight-winged tiger opened his mouth wide, but no words came out. He wasn’t even given the chance to speak.

But he understood the implication of that. He had lost the qualification to speak. He had already offered himself as Su Yu’s mount, even if Su Yu might not be interested in using him as a mount.

At that realization, the eight-winged tiger grew listless. It was all over. He had made a rash promise in his desperation, and it was too late to go back on his word.

***

That was a day of gains for Su Yu. The eight-winged tiger and chaos dragon had both broken through. The tea plant did not reach the same level as the two, but she had always been weaker than the two.

However, she had yet to finish digesting her share of the chaos will. Noticing that, Su Yu did not bother her. There was still a chance for her to grow into a Master of Law by the time she was done.

***

At this point, Su Yu had accumulated a considerable number of powerhouses inside his world.

Martial Emperor was still a peak tier-three powerhouses inside his world. There was also a large number of tier-four Masters of Laws.

Great Zhou King, Giant Axe, Heavenly Fate, South Heavenly King, Grand Dream, Royal Consort Qi, Redmoon, and Blood Shadow. Death Imperator had returned to the Death Realm. He had not fused with Su Yu’s world. It was likely that he would drop dead the moment he did that.

There were also a lot of people who had not broken through prior to this. They required more time to break through after fusing with Su Yu’s world.

For example, March, Heavenly Fire, Lanshan, and even Extreme Martial. They weren’t able to break through into Masters of Laws before this, but they were Venerables with deep comprehension of their daos. Thus, it was only a matter of time before they broke through.

As for those heavenly kings, they only needed to accumulate enough comprehension to grow into Masters of Laws inside Su Yu’s world. There were quite a lot of heavenly kings among Su Yu’s subordinates.

Great Xia King and Great Qin King were already heavenly kings before this. With the recent expansion of Su Yu’s world, they had grown to a level where they were only a step away from mastering their daos.

They needed to grab this chance and advance as soon as possible as the daos in Su Yu’s world would be harder to master the stronger the world was.

***

It wouldn’t be wrong to say that Su Yu’s faction had grown extremely powerful.

However, it was still not enough.

In truth, Su Yu’s faction would be quite helpful in its current state if Human Emperor were fine. They might drop in strength after leaving Su Yu’s world, but things would still be manageable.

Alas, Human Emperor was now an empty shell. Thus, their current stength wouldn’t be sufficient to help. In fact, going upstream with their current strength would be disastrous. With that in mind, Su Yu once again set his eyes on the River of Time. Time to milk the river again.

If the Master of Time were still around, he would probably burst with rage upon learning about all these thieves. But there was nothing Su Yu could do about it. What else could he do except milk the River of Time?

He had to keep strengthening his world. It wasn’t like he was trying to grow it to the level of the River of Time, but he had to grow it enough that his people would drop so drastically in strength upon leaving his world. And that was a much more realistic target.

It was impossible for his world to reach the River of Time’s level anytime soon. However, the cultivators of the River of Time only cultivated the tributaries. Thus, Su Yu only needed to grow his world to the level where it was stronger than dozens of tributaries. That would be enough since his world had a much smaller number of cultivators.

His world only needed to grow enough to sustain dozens of Masters of Laws. In comparison, the River of Time was sustaining countless powerhouses. Since Su Yu only needed to support a much smaller number of people, it wasn’t impossible for him to close the gap between his people and those outside.

Lower Realm.

Su Yu was back.

Human Realm.

Two months ago, he left. And now, he had returned.

The Myriad Realms had been pacified.

When Su Yu appeared with his people, cheers rang out throughout the Human Realm.

The thirty-six prefects had been waiting at the entrance to the Human Realm with a group of Sunmoons. They all cheered as Su Yu returned. Su Yu had taken less than three months after leaving to pacify the Myriad Realms.

Even Hundred Battle had been defeated.

Standing at the very front of the crowd, Xia Huyou was grinning ear-to-ear. This was too fast. He knew that Su Yu would return one day, but he had not expected it to happen this fast. He roared loudly, ”We welcome His Majesty’s triumphant return. Glory to His Majesty, the ever victorious!”

”Ever victorious!”

Numerous people cheered.

Su Yu smiled. Everything looked fine in the Human Realm. Hundred Battle King had not been here long enough to change anything. Then again, he was never interested in changing anything. This was still the same Human Realm.

Su Yu laughed and said, ”The Myriad Realms are at peace. As for the humans who had migrated to the Celestial Chasm Realm previously, some might not be interested in returning anymore. That realm has been modified into a holy land of cultivation.

”However, I will move the entire Celestial Chasm Realm into the Human Realm soon. The spatial beast race shall start creating teleportation formations between the two worlds. From now on, the Human Realm will be comprised of two worlds. Everyone is allowed to move between the two worlds freely.”

The humans who had migrated to the Celestial Chasm Realm had barely settled down there. They might not be willing to start another migration so soon. However, the Human Realm was still the foundation of humanity and their homeland. Thus, Su Yu had decided to put some effort into making things easier for everyone. The Celestial Chasm Realm would be relocated below the Human Realm.

And then, they only needed to connect the two realms with the help of the spatial beast race. Those wishing to return could do so, and those wishing to stay could stay without being separated from humanity for too long.

”Your Majesty is wise!”

Once again, cheers rang out.

This was a good thing. In a way, this could be considered an expansion of the Human Realm. Sure, the Celestial Chasm Realm would still be a different world technically, but this was still an expansion, and it also provided more options to humanity.

More importantly, they would still be residing in the same territory even if they opted to move to the Celestial Chasm Realm. They wouldn’t need to leave their homeland.

That day, the entire Human Realm celebrated. Su Yu had transformed into a legend in the Human Realm. Nobody addressed him by his name anymore. When people spoke of him, they would only address him as Emperor Yu.

Like Human Emperor, his name was slowly being forgotten, replaced by his title. And in this era, Su Yu’s popularity far exceeded Human Emperor’s. After all, Human Emperor was too far away for those of this era. Meanwhile, Emperor Yu was right here. He was someone who had pacified the Myriad Realms before their very eyes.

Emperor Su’s Court.

The palace complex was occupied by Hundred Battle for a few short months before its original master was back.

At the moment, an assembly of heroes had gathered in the main hall. This was a gathering only those at the Daofuse Realm and beyond could attend. Previously, the arrival of over thirty Daofuses had shocked countless people.

But now, there were over two hundred Daofuses in Emperor Yu’s Court. With the expansion of Su Yu’s world, many was able to grow alongside it and advance into Daofuses.

Many of the senior Eternals of humanity had stepped directly into the Daofuse Realm. With the fusing of Hundred Battle and Zhou Ji’s physical body dao into Su Yu’s world, many of the physical body cultivators of humanity were all able to step into the Daofuse Realm.

The hall was packed with people. Of course, there was a small number of non-Daofuses in there as well. For example, the thirty-six prefects led by Xia Huyou. These people were qualified to attend this gathering as well.

Even the Death Imperator was there to attend the meeting.

Inside the hall.

Su Yu was seated behind a table. He slowly rapped his fingers on the table, as though he was deep in thought. Only the sound of his fingers knocking against the table could be heard in the mostly otherwise silent hall.

Everyone was looking at Su Yu. Some looked at him with worship, some looked with fear, and some looked with complicated emotions.

That was especially true for former subordinates of Hundred Battle such as Extreme Martial. The Venerables were not the only ones who had snapped their daos to fuse with Su Yu’s world. People like Southbrook Marquis and South Suppression Marquis had also opted to join Su Yu.

Just a few days ago, this was still the meeting hall of Hundred Battle. They were back, but the master of the hall had changed. South Suppression Marquis, in particular, had attended several major meetings in the same hall.

First, he attended the meeting called by Su Yu after his capture. Not long after, Su Yu left and Hundred Battle returned. Thus, he attended another meeting as Hundred Battle’s subordinate.

It hadn’t even been that long yet things had changed again. The original master was back, and he was attending yet another meeting as the subordinate of the original master.
