Chapter 1679: Culture King's Residence (1)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Great Zhou King was waiting for something to change.

Tiangu and the others were also waiting. They were waiting for the ancient guardians to reach their limits and withdraw from the battle.

Without the ancient guardians, humanity would lose and the Human Realm would be broken into. Meanwhile, Great Zhou King and the others would be trapped in the Celestial Chasm Realm. It was only a matter of time before they were defeated as well.

Su Yu and the old turtle played the biggest roles here. The other guardians wouldn't be able to hold on for long once the old turtle reached his limit. And when Su Yu reached his limit, the ancient guardians would be forced to return to their cities.

***

Su Yu had just stepped through the waterfall.

His vision blurred as he found himself stepping into the Starfall Mountain yet again. Yes. His surroundings did not change. It was still the Starfall Mountain, yet this Starfall Mountain was slightly different from the previous Starfall Mountain.

The great valley was the main reason for this place to be known as the Starfall Mountain. According to the legends, a star had fallen here to create the massive valley. The valley was supposed to be flat and empty.

But after going through the waterfall, that was no longer the case. The surrounding cliffs were still there. But in the middle of the valley, a splendid and magnificent house could be seen.

It had the design of a regular traditional mansion, but it was surrounded by a lot of flowers. It was as though the house stood in the middle of a sea of flowers. Several walking paths cut across the field of flowers.

A swing could be seen in the courtyard of the house. Su Yu could see it clearly. At the moment, the swing was swaying slightly to the wind.

The faint fragrance of the flowers entered Su Yu's nose. It was a comfortable fragrance, one that gave any visitor the urge to take a deep breath.

"Yummy!"

The sudden exclamation caused Su Yu to jump in shock. He then gave the little furball, who had just emerged from his head, a little knock as punishment.

Why did the little fellow talk so suddenly?

This was the old lair of Culture King and Time Sage. He was very nervous to be here. A private residence was not something to be intruded upon easily.

Su Yu knew that very well. After all, he himself had reacted violently after the same happened to him. In fact, he had killed because of it.

Since Culture King and Time Sage had taken the effort to hide their home, it was clear they didn't want anyone entering their home without permission. If they were dead, so be it. But if they weren't...

No, wait. Su Yu was here bearing the Book of Time.

Su Yu told himself that he was here openly with the key. He was no thief!

With a cough, he said, "Su Yu, leader of humanity's holy land, is here to visit Senior Culture King. Are you home, Senior?"

Su Yu thought that if an answer came, he would probably start crying. That was such a scary thought.

But just then, a reply came. "Not home."

"..."

All of Su Yu's hair stood on end.

The little furball's hair was also standing on end.

Holy shit!

Was there really someone here? That was quite a tender voice, but there was no mistaking it. The voice came from the house in front of him.

Su Yu started sweating. Just how long had this house been sealed off from the public?

Since the era before the ancient past, right?

The proper ancient past began after the unification of the Myriad Realms by the Human Realm. Culture King had sealed his house since the unification. Thus, this house was actually older than even the big furball.

And now, someone was speaking from inside the house!

Su Yu's heart thumped violently. Suddenly, the same voice rang out, "Who are you?"

The tribulation character was pulsing, but it wasn't too intense. Perhaps this would be fine. Su Yu calmed down somewhat.

Su Yu hurriedly said, "I am the current leader of humanity. I am also the successor of both Culture King and Time Sage."

He had a feeling the person inside the house was not Culture King. Otherwise, the voice wouldn't have claimed that Culture King wasn't home earlier. Was it the Time Sage? That shouldn't be the case, right?

That voice was too tender. It sounded like the voice of a child, not an adult. Was this...a descendant of Culture King and Time Sage? That thought shocked Su Yu, but he soon rejected it. This place had been sealed for so many years. Even a child of the two would have grown old after so long.

"Current leader of humanity?" The voice asked doubtfully, "What about the Human Emperor?"

"Uhm...the Human Emperor was the leader of the Myriad Realms. Senior...may I know your identity?"

Su Yu was still extremely wary of this voice. This place was not deserted. Anyone still here after so long would most certainly be a super expert. It had been more than a hundred thousand years. Much longer. How long did humanity's rule over the Myriad Realms last?

Su Yu had no idea.

The period of rule on top of a hundred thousand years would be the time at which this house had been sealed. There had probably been no visitors all these years. Anyone capable of entering would be someone at Culture King's level.

Thus, whether this voice belonged to an original resident or a subsequent visitor, it still wasn't someone he could afford to offend. Even a useless pig could probably become a Daofuse by living for a hundred thousand years. Could Eternals live for so long?

Su Yu was unsure.

In any case, the oldest Eternal Su Yu had seen was Bountiful Treasure General, a ninth-degree Eternal who had lived longer than a hundred thousand years. Speaking of, the Bountiful Treasure General sure was useless. He was even more useless than a pig. How was he still an Eternal after so long?

Numerous thoughts surfaced in Su Yu's mind, but he hurriedly suppressed them. This wasn't the time for him to think about all that. He had not expected that there would be someone in Culture King's house. In that case, would he be returning empty-handed today?

The voice rang out again, "If you're not the Human Emperor, why are you calling yourself the leader of humanity?"

The voice sounded surprised.

Su Yu guessed that this must be an existence that had been staying here since before the collapse of the ancient past. He hurriedly explained, "It has been over a hundred thousand years since Human Emperor's rule. Human Emperor, Culture King, and the others have all vanished. Over the past hundred thousand years, the human race has been subjected to the intense assault of the myriad races. We have suffered nine defeats. I am the leader of the tenth epoch."

"You're so weak."

"..."

How hurtful.

That was rude.

Su Yu started growing suspicious. The owner of this voice...was too strong. And not too well-versed in the art of communication. That was why this person had spoken in such a manner.

The same voice rang out again, "Leader of humanity...why so weak? You're only a Mountainsea."

Su Yu's heart thumped as he cupped his fists and said, "Senior, I can fight Eternals. I'm not too weak among humanity. Only a few humans are stronger than me nowadays."

"Oh...wow. They're so weak. No wonder they lost nine times. How pitiful."

"..."

Holy shit!

That was too honest!

Su Yu did not have the time to chat about random topics here. He hurriedly said, "Senior, once again, humanity is under the attack of the myriad races. We're on the verge of destruction. Through the Book of Time, Culture Tomb, and humanity's holy token, I found this residence. I wish to get Culture King's help in saving humanity!"

"But my master isn't home."

The voice asked, "Is my master missing?"

Master?

A new thought emerged in Su Yu's mind. He carefully said, "Senior, since Culture King isn't home...could you...help humanity?"

"Me?"

"I can't. I'm very weak. And I need to guard our home!"

Next, Su Yu saw the owner of the voice.

In the courtyard of the house, a white and fat puppy appeared. Yes. A white and plump puppy. The puppy lazily swayed left and right as it walked forward.

Under Su Yu's dumbstruck gaze, the white puppy soared into the sky and said, "My master is not around! I need to guard the house!"

Su Yu swallowed.

A dog?

A dog who had lived for a hundred thousand years?

Holy shit!

What...was going on here? How was this dog not dead?

The white dog wagged his tail slightly. Due to the familiar scent on Su Yu, he did not dislike Su Yu. He said, "Uhm...new human leader, are you listening to me?"

A certain idea bloomed in Su Yu's mind. Even a dog of Culture King would be a super expert. Since this was the guard left behind to watch over Culture King's house, the dog might even be a super expert.

"Senior..." Su Yu hurriedly said, "Yes, I'm listening. But humanity is facing destruction. Culture King was the saint of humanity. If he were around, he wouldn't have allowed humanity to fall. Please help humanity. I can get some people to guard this place for you. Nobody will be allowed to intrude!"

The white dog thought about it and nodded, "Yes. My master would definitely help if he were still around. But Master has been away for too long. The little master has also been away for too long. New Guy...you have the smell of Little Master on you. Have you met my little master before?"

"Little master?" Su Yu blurted, "Time Sage?"

Sure enough!

Sure enough, this was the residence of Culture King and Time Sage! But...wait, little master? What was the meaning of that?

Wasn't Time Sage the wife of Culture King?

Su Yu asked carefully, "Are you referring to Time Sage, Senior?"

"Time Sage?" The white dog thought about it and nodded, "I think so. I don't know what others call my little master. Here, I only know my little master as the little master. She has been gone for a very long time. Have you met her anywhere?"

"No." Su Yu said, "Time Sage has gone missing for a long time. I am the inheritor of her Book of Time. That was how I got in here."

"Book of Time?" The white dog asked, "The book with a lot of tasty treats?"

"..."

Su Yu's heart thumped. It wasn't surprising for this dog to know about the Book of Time.

He nodded, "Yes. Exactly!"

He looked at the white dog and carefully asked, "Senior, are you willing to leave and help humanity? Also...what is your strength?"

"Strength?"

The white dog wagged his tail slightly and said, "Eternal? I think."

Eternal? Su Yu frowned. Only Eternal?
