Chapter 1645: Holy Land Establishment (3)

Su Yu laughed and said, "Stop embarrassing yourself with a small trick like this. I'm only making this offer because I can't be bothered to threaten you. Your identity as the second coming of the Five Elemental Ancestor alone is enough to end the five elemental race."

Topsoil Spirit grinned and said, "You never know. Also, are you certain that the immortals were the culprit, Brother Su?"

Su Yu replied with a question, "What do you think?"

"I think...there is no clear answer." Topsoil Spirit said, "The five elemental race used to be a major race. The Five Elemental Ancestor was no weakling. I initially suspected the ancient humans. Don't the humans cultivate the five elements as well?"

Su Yu sneered and said, "How could it be the humans? The ancient humans ruled the Myriad Realms, but they were also faced with many limitations. The ancient assembly was formed by the myriad races precisely for the purpose of limiting the power of humanity. The ancient humans ruled the Myriad Realms in name, but in truth, their rule was contested.

"How would the myriad races react if the ancient humans were the ones to kill the Five Elemental Ancestor? The matter only remained a secret until now because it was essentially an internal struggle between the myriad races in the assembly. Otherwise, a war against humanity would have erupted the moment the Five Elemental Ancestor died. Have you read the ancient records? Were there any chaos after the Five Elemental Ancestor's death?

"No, right? Because the ancient humans had merely watched at the sidelines as the assembly members schemed against each other. They saw no point in making a big deal out of it to keep the peace. After all, it would still result in chaos even if it didn't grow into a war against humanity. Many would learn the truth from the resulting chaos. But the matter had remained secret until now."

Topsoil Spirit thought about it and nodded.

Su Yu's argument was reasonable.

Then again, Su Yu had always been good at arguing.

Topsoil Spirit said, "If you can become the leader of the holy land, I will consult my elders...about our secret cooperation. Remember, this will only be a secret cooperation. We won't take action in any operation where silencing all the potential witnesses is not possible. I hope you can see where I'm coming from."

Su Yu said, "Sure. That is agreeable."

Topsoil Spirit exhaled in relief.

That would be for the best.

"Then...about the Five Elemental Art..."

Su Yu smiled and said, "Wait. I will visit the Five Elemental Realm and meet the experts of your race personally. I will teach them the art only after receiving confirmation from them. I can't fully trust your words."

"..."

Topsoil Spirit resisted the urge to roll his eyes. He should be the one finding Su Yu hard to trust, not the other way around.

"Are you really visiting the Five Elemental Realm? Are you not worried that..."

Su Yu said nonchalantly, "If the five elementals are feeling brave, they are free to contact the other races and join hands to kill me. I will immediately open a death tunnel and counterattack with the death spirits, ancient guardians, and humans. I believe I am still capable of eradicating the five elemental race. Think it through. You will know what to do."

Topsoil Spirit was left with no argument.

Would the five elementals dare to make a move against Su Yu?

No.

Topsoil Spirit nodded helplessly and said, "I understand. About the skylotus..."

"You only need to buy one petal. I will sell more to get some carrier treasures. I'm only doing this to strengthen my weapon. It's no big deal. Don't take it too seriously."

No big deal?

Topsoil Spirit wanted to shout that something Su Yu considered trivial was actually a massive deal for many people!

For a moment, Topsoil Spirit was speechless. After some time, he said, "Fine. I'll go back after the purchase. When will you visit the Five Elemental Realm? I'll be waiting for you there."

"I'll try to go there as soon as possible."

"Good." Topsoil Spirit looked at the elder who was still giggling happily beside him and asked, "What is my elder looking at?"

Su Yu glanced at the elder and said, "It's nothing much. He's seeing a scene of us chatting happily before finalizing the deal with the promise that he will keep this deal a secret. He's also very happy to buy a petal with the price of only one carrier treasure. That's all. Is this enough?"

Topsoil Spirit nodded. What a pitiful elder.

"Fine. Can you release the elder now?"

As Su Yu withdrew his character, the elder slowly woke up. After waking up, he smiled and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Lord Su!"

Su Yu smiled, "Don't worry about it."

"In that case, shall we take our leave? We'll be here tomorrow for the product..."

Su Yu agreed, "Sure."

Then, the elder stood up cheerfully and looked at Topsoil Spirit, hinting at Topsoil Spirit that it was time to leave.

Topsoil Spirit almost rolled his eyes. Just what did the elder experience in the illusion? Why was the elder so happy? Sure enough, the elder was dumb enough that he would help calculate the money one earned from selling him off.

***

Before long, the five elementals left.

Right after leaving the residence, the elder said in excitement, "It's done! We only need to get a carrier treasure now!"

"..."

Topsoil Spirit nodded. He smiled and said, "Elder, you are an excellent negotiator. You can have all the merit for completing his deal."

The elder coughed and said, "No, not really. It's all thanks to your good relationship with Su Yu. Cough, cough. But...we must keep this a secret."

"Of course."

And thus, the excited elder left with Topsoil Spirit in tow. All around the residence, numerous observers saw the two leaving. Before long, more people started visiting Su Yu. Some were allowed to meet him, while some were ignored.

***

The visitors only stopped coming at daybreak.

Once again, everyone returned their attention to the conference. The day before, Great Yuan King had lost two bodies to Su Yu after objecting to the establishment of a new holy land. Would Su Yu participate in today's conference as well?

What about Great Yuan King? What would be the result of the conference?

***

Inside the academy hall.

The hall had been rebuilt in only one day. The same people were participating in the conference.

However, Great Yuan King looked much paler than the day before. His aura also felt weaker.

Su Yu was absent.

Since there was no need to wait for Marquis Xia's speech today, Great Han King spoke right after arriving, "We have spoken all we need about the new holy land yesterday. Everyone here understands the importance of the new holy land. Since we're here again, let's go straight to the point. We will vote on the establishment of the holy land. As for the leader of the new holy land, we can decide after this round of voting. For now, we are only deciding if the holy land is to be established."

Numerous gazes landed on Great Yuan King. He was the main opposition to the establishment of a new holy land yesterday. What would his choice be today? He had nearly been killed by Su Yu.

However, Great Yuan King merely remained silent.

Someone asked, "Great Han King, what are the consequences of voting no?"

Great Han King answered, "Nothing."

The same person asked again, "If...I'm saying if...Mayor Su is dissatisfied with the result and attacks..."

Great Han King said, "He attacked yesterday because Great Yuan King attacked first. He did not initiate the fight. If he dares to attack you just because of the vote, I might not be able to stop him. But I can get Great Zhou King, Great Xia King, and Great Ming King to promise that they will attack without mercy if Su Yu dares to attack purely because of our votes. Is this answer acceptable?"

Outside, Great Zhou King, Great Xia King, and Great Ming King spoke, "Agreed."

That put many of the participants in the conference at ease. After making such a promise, they would most certainly act if Su Yu tried to do anything to them because of their votes.

Great Han King said, "Therefore, you can follow your heart during the voting. This concerns the future of humanity. It is no laughing matter. Only follow your heart."

At that, Marquis Xia stepped forth and took two golden books out. He said, "Those for the proposal may stamp the seals of their prefectures on the left book. Those against the proposal may stamp the seals of their prefectures on the right book. These seals symbolize the Invincibles you represent. This concerns humanity's future. Therefore, think very carefully before casting your vote. These documents will be here for eternity so long as humanity stands. Your choice will be laid bare before the future generations. They shall be the judge of whether your choice today is the correct choice."

Hearing Marquis Xia's words, some of the participants started growing nervous.

Would the result of the vote affect the future of humanity?

Yes.

The holy land and Su Yu would greatly affect the future of humanity. Thus, even some Invincibles started growing nervous. This would be a hard choice.

***

Inside the hall, the atmosphere was tense.

Outside the hall, the formation production continued.

Nevertheless, the Invincibles outside were still focusing on the hall. Great Xia King sent a voice transmission with a solemn expression, "Old Zhou, will it happen?"

Great Zhou King replied, "Do you want it to happen?"

Great Xia King sank into silence.

Great Zhou King asked, "Are you certain Su Yu can shoulder this responsibility?"

After a long silence, Great Xia King said, "He might not...but we need a humanity united behind the holy land. If not Su Yu...I still wish to see a capable leader emerging to lead humanity out of our current plight."

The leader might not be Su Yu.

Even so, Great Xia King still believed that having a new holy land was necessary. At the very least, the new holy land would give them a greater chance at unifying humanity. The internal struggles of humanity had wasted too much of their efforts and resources. This couldn't continue.

Great Zhou King said, "If you can understand this, the others will understand as well. As for the ones who still don't understand...I can only say that they are too narrow-minded. There must be a new holy land. As for the leader...that will be the biggest issue here. The voting for Su Yu as the leader will probably be the most difficult part of today, not the establishment of the holy land."

Great Xia King thought about it and nodded in agreement.

True.

***

At the same time.

The various prefects and Invincible descendants looked at the two books nervously.

Marquis Xia smiled, "Who's first?"

Xia Longwu said nothing and sent a seal out. Instantly, it left a golden mark on the book.

Great Xia was the first to vote. Next, one seal after another appeared before flying forward. Some voted for, some voted against. Including Allheaven Prefecture, there were thirty-seven prefectures here to vote.

Before long, everyone focused on the representative from Great Yuan. After some hesitation, the representative sent the seal toward the book supporting the proposal. Instantly, everyone looked at Great Yuan King.

Had he...changed his mind?

He compromised?

Had he surrendered after Su Yu's beating?

Nobody knew what to feel about this. They only knew that with Great Yuan King here, Great Yuan's decision could only be his decision. He had voted for the establishment of the holy land.

Marquis Xia smiled and looked at Great Han King.

Great Han King smiled as well. He said, "The result is out. Thirty-four for, six against. The holy land can be established."

That did not ease the tense atmosphere. Instead, the atmosphere turned even more tense than before.

With the establishment of the holy, the time had come for them to vote for the leader. Who would be the leader?

That was the biggest question.
