Chapter 1686: Dual Mountainsea (2)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Su Yu felt like his sea of willpower was getting very busy as of late. The female furball was quite surprised to see the tea plant as she could sense that the tea plant was extremely powerful.

Su Yu had actually returned with a helper!

"Do you know my husband?"

"What is a husband?"

"Soy Bun."

"I don't know. I've never met him. But Fat Ball knows him."

"Fat Ball?"

"A white dog. Do you know him?"

"I think...so. My husband mentioned him a long time ago. He saw the white dog before, but he was still very young back then so he doesn't remember much..."

Yes. Soy Bun had met Fat Ball before, but that was a long time ago.

In truth, Soy Bun had also met Culture King's younger sister before. But it had also been so long that his memories were blurry. Or to be precise, his sentience wasn't fully developed yet back then. Thus, he could no longer remember much of the events from back then. Otherwise, he wouldn't have claimed that the Culture King and Time Sage were unrelated.

In terms of seniority, Fat Ball was older than Soy Bun, while Soy Bun was older than the book spirit and tea plant. The two were similar in age with the female furball as all three had developed their sentience at the late years of the ancient past.

Su Yu was naturally uninterested in the contents of their conversation. He was busy rushing toward the Allheaven Prefecture. As he flew, sounds of an ancient chant echoed within his head.

"At the beginning of existence, primal chaos reigned. Humanity appeared, and wisdom emerged. However, humanity lacked strength and food for sustenance. Seeking the natural dao and prying upon the secrets of nature, the Human Ancestor rescued humanity..."

The book spirit was giving Su Yu a lesson. This was no secret cultivation manual. It was merely a random lesson about some ancient fables of humanity. Such fables had survived to even the current era. In fact, Su Yu had heard many similar stories growing up.

Yet when the same story was being told by the book spirit, it felt entirely different. Su Yu felt as though he was witnessing the very beginning of the world. He felt as though he himself had transformed into the Human Ancestor. When humanity first came into existence, they were incapable of feeding themselves or competing against other life forms. For the sake of survival, he explored the great dao and opened the path of cultivation.

Under his leadership, humanity slowly grew in strength, gaining the ability to survive the dangerous era of creation. As time passed, the myriad races started fighting each other for domination. Slaughter persisted unceasingly.

Su Yu listened in silence. Even the female furball and tea plant were listening attentively. Everyone was listening to the lesson from the book spirit.

At the same time, the humans behind Su Yu felt something happening as well. As of that moment, something seemed to have changed about Su Yu. Something...they couldn't quite put into words. Was it his temperament?

Nobody could be sure.

Not even the Invincibles could explain what they were feeling. They only knew that it felt as though Su Yu had been reborn anew.

Su Yu had always felt like a murderous and impatient person. He had grown too fast, and he had killed too much in the process. He had essentially grown through endless combat and slaughter. His violent growth had resulted in a rather extreme attitude, making him a rather violent person. Thus, most people would instinctively feel fear in his presence.

But the violent aura around him had faded somewhat, with the addition of a sort of gentleness that couldn't be described. His gentleness and viciousness coexisted in perfect harmony. These were opposite traits, yet they felt completely natural.

Some even started feeling that this was how a leader should be. Both warm and cold, both reliable and terrifying. If the Heavenly Overseer Marquis were present, he would say that Su Yu was becoming more and more similar to Culture King.

***

Su Yu was unaware of what everyone was thinking.

He was fully immersed in his unique state of comprehension. This was not the type of comprehension that would grant him a direct increase in strength. Rather, it would help with his future growth, providing him with clarity about his future.

In the legends, the early years of humanity were extremely difficult as well. They faced numerous disasters and enemies, and extinction was a very real risk.

Eventually, the Human Ancestor led humanity out of the dark days. Through the foundations laid down by the Human Ancestor, humanity kept growing, finally reaching their peak during the ancient past.

The hardships humanity faced today were nothing compared to the hardships of the early years. Strength was something humanity had built one step at a time. After losing the glory of the past, humanity naturally needed to work harder to reclaim the same glory. It wouldn't be easy, but it wasn't insurmountable.

To read, to center one's mind, to understand one's character.

It had been a long time since Su Yu last read or studied anything. He had been battling too frequently as of late, resulting in an impatient and fickle temperament filled with negative emotions. Listening to the book spirit, he slowly regained his calm.

Impatience wouldn't help.

Fury wouldn't help.

He was the holy lord. His impatience and fury would only cause panic and fear.

Furthermore, Great Zhou King was still around.

At that thought, Su Yu chuckled. He refused to believe that Great Zhou King had initiated this war without any backup plan. His appearance was merely a convenient tool to provide humanity with more options. Even without him, humanity would have continued existing. His presence wasn't everything.

Su Yu refused to believe that humanity would not survive without him. Great Zhou King and Great Qin King wouldn't have been worthy of their stellar reputation if they were the type to bet everything on him. Thus, he started laughing. There was no rush.

This was merely the prologue of the war. Those old fossils had yet to make an appearance. The various races had yet to fully take sides. Many races were still waiting and observing. This was a mere appetizer for what was to come. If humanity couldn't even survive this, they might as well forget about all their ambitions.

***

The group moved rapidly.

Before long, they reached the Allheaven Prefecture.

Numerous soldiers were waiting there, all of them ready for war. In a major battle, they would be cannon fodder. But they were still here. The moment the Invincibles out in the front lines were defeated, these cannon fodder would charge forth unhesitatingly.

A sombre atmosphere enveloped the city.

Countless soldiers, generals, and experts from the former holy lands were gathered in wait. When Su Yu arrived, Wu Ji raised his axe and roared, "We greet the holy lord!"

"We greet the holy lord!"

Countless soldiers roared.

"The holy lord is here! Victory!"

"Victory!"

Once again, the soldiers roared.

The human race had been fighting each other for many years, but the military had mostly refrained from getting involved in these internal struggles. This was a deliberate setup by the likes of Great Zhou King.

The armies stationed in the Allheaven Prefecture would only take orders from the Invincibles. As for the armies stationed in the Allheaven Battlefield, they would only take orders from the various prefects and Great Qin King.

The military would not start fighting each other unless the higher-ups started turning against each other as well.

That was why the armies of humanity still maintained their morale despite the current circumstances of humanity. They would not scatter helplessly just after losing a few Invincibles.

With the crown on his head, Su Yu soared into the sky and overlooked the soldiers below. With a calm voice, he said, "The war has barely started. It will truly begin after we kick the enemies out this time. After this battle, the human race and the myriad races will enter a phase where all the top experts are keeping each other in check. That will be your time to shine. There is no need for you to throw your lives away today. Stay here. If humanity's Invincibles can't push the enemies back today, humanity will face extinction. Your war will only arrive after today."

Everyone listened in silence.

In the sky, Su Yu laughed and said, "Therefore, your time to fight has yet to arrive. For now, the Invincibles will fight. May you maintain your courage after this battle."

Wu Ji roared, "The armies of humanity will never lose courage!"

Su Yu smiled and said nothing else. He was speaking the truth. The ordinary soldiers could only fight when the various Invincibles were keeping each other in check. And such an opportunity would most certainly arrive.

If there wasn't even a balance among the top experts, then there wouldn't be a need for the weaker combatants to fight. A war could also be a process of growth, a process to develop more talents.

Throughout the years, the military had produced a decent number of experts. Sure, the military had not directly produced any Invincibles. However, it had produced a decent number of Sunmoons. Strictly speaking, people like Xia Longwu had gained most of his experiences serving in the military. That was also the case for Qin Zhen.

Su Yu looked behind him and said, "All below the Invincible Realm, step back."

Marquis Xia and the others started hesitating.

Su Yu continued, "You'll only be throwing your lives away. It's pointless. Everyone else, gather up. Just keeping one more enemy Invincible busy is already a victory. There is no need to fight to the death. The final battle has yet to arrive. Dying today will only further weaken humanity."

There were quite a lot of Invincibles present. Su Yu wasn't asking for much from them. He only needed them to keep an enemy Invincible or two busy. That would be enough. Nobody said anything. They agreed tentatively, but they would still react in accordance with the circumstances.

Before long, Su Yu stepped onto the teleportation formation. The other Invincibles followed behind him. Under the gaze of the numerous soldiers, they vanished into thin air.

"Victory!"

With someone taking the lead, the millions upon millions of soldiers roared, "Victory!" More and more people joined in. Eventually, even the normal people of the various prefectures joined in. All roaring for their victory.

The chaos inside the Human Realm had ended, but the battle outside had yet to end.

Defeat was not an option.

***

Allheaven Battlefield.

Intense battles raged all over the eastern sector.

There were over fifty Invincibles fighting on humanity's side. Meanwhile, there were over a hundred Invincibles on the other side. On average, each Invincible on humanity's side needed to face two Invincibles.

Fortunately, the ancient guardians were strong enough to withstand such pressure. However, they were still feeling the burden of the Death Realm even with Su Yu sharing their death qi. The old turtle was already doing his best to keep things calm in the Death Realm.

The ancient guardians could not utilize their dao weapons. They could not risk moving their ancient cities since the Death Realm was in chaos. All the guardians were prevented from fighting at full power. They felt terrible fighting like this, but they had no choice.

Of the many ongoing battles, the one involving the Dragon Pseudo Emperor was the most intense. He was facing Great Xia King, Heavendoom, and Great Ming King all by himself. Fighting in his original form, with each sweep of his tail, space would shatter and mountains would collapse.

Great Xia King, Great Ming King, and Heavendoom were very strong. But the Dragon Pseudo Emperor was no weakling either. To make things worse, Heavendoom could not fight at his full strength. He had to fight in a sealed state without using his weapon while suppressing the chaos of the Death Realm. Thus, the combat power he could utilize here was actually lower than that of Great Xia King and Great Ming King.

He was incomparably furious.

"You damn worm! Without my seal, and with my weapon, I can kill you with a single swing of my staff!"

Heavendoom was raging. He felt terrible. For him, the Dragon Pseudo Emperor was a mere junior. How dare a mere junior whip him with a tail repeatedly? Heavendoom was furious. He had to try very hard to resist pulling his weapon out. He was worried that using his weapon this time would result in the escape of the death sovereigns. That would be disastrous.

The Dragon Pseudo Emperor said, "Heavendoom, your era is over. Out of respect for your contributions in suppressing the Death Realm, I can spare your life if you withdraw now."

"Fuck you!"

The furious Heavendoom continued attacking.

The Dragon Pseudo Emperor met the incoming punch with his claws. When the two clashed, massive shockwaves rippled out. At the same time, two daos clashed against each other, but this wasn't a sight any regular person could see. Unfortunately, the Dragon Pseudo Emperor was already a Daofuse while Heavendoom wasn't.

As Heavendoom's fist clashed against the Dragon Pseudo Emperor's claws, his veins throbbed while the outermost layer of stone on his fist was blasted away. Instantly, a large amount of death qi invaded his body.

Just the removal of a tiny bit of the stone covering his body was enough to allow a large amount of death qi into his body. With a roar, Heavendoom enlarged before throwing another punch forward.

At the same time, Great Xia King was swinging his saber while Great Ming King was releasing even more formations. The battle raged on even as the four combatants were injured one after another.

Right at that moment, a flash of light appeared from the realm entrance.

Next, a crowned Su Yu appeared. One step at a time, he strode forth and said, "Everyone, why didn't you wait for me before starting the fight?"

A genial smile hung on his face, and a saintly radiance shrouded his entire body.

"Su Yu!"

Numerous voices exclaimed. Some were furious, while some were anxious.

Su Yu smiled and asked, "Did anyone miss me? I killed twenty-five Eternals in the Human Realm earlier, but that trash Jade King managed to escape. What a pity. Please forgive my tardiness."

Su Yu continued, "Senior Flat, may I trouble you to kill that useless dragon over there?"

At that, the Dragon Pseudo Emperor roared. Above him, a silhouette appeared before turning into an apocalyptic mouth.

The female furball was actually quite violent.

She had attacked the Dragon Pseudo Emperor without any hesitation.

Eat! Eat him!

Su Yu continued speaking, as though the battle was not happening, "Those thinking of exterminating humanity, please step forth. Why bother hiding yourself? It's too cowardly. Let me know who among you are enemies and who among you are friends. I don't want to kill a friend accidentally. As for those neutral, know that things never end well for people like you. You're either a friend or an enemy. Stop deceiving yourself."

Were there more Daofuses out there?

Yes. Quite a lot of them.

The Fate Pseudo Emperor, Heavenly Spirit Ape Pseudo Emperor, and some others had yet to show themselves. There were more than twenty Daofuses in the Myriad Realms. There might even be more who were still in slumber.

During Su Yu's fight with Blood Fire, the devil king had said that the Devil Pseudo Emperor was most likely backed by some old fossils. And some of these old fossils might still be in the Myriad Realms. They could be the Daofuses who had stayed behind after the end of the previous epoch. Perhaps they were in slumber. Or perhaps they were still recovering from their previous injuries.

Would the major races like the divine, devil, and immortal races really station a Daofuse each in the Myriad Realm? Nobody could be sure. Perhaps they had more. These slumbering Daofuses might have remained inactive because the price of waking them up was still too high.

Su Yu wanted to see just how many Daofuses would show themselves today.

Seeing Su Yu's appearance, Heavendoom roared in excitement, "Su Yu! Take care of the tunnel for a bit! I'll kill that damn worm!"

He couldn't take it anymore.

Finally, Su Yu was out. He could finally fight with his great staff!

"Patience, Senior Heavendoom." Su Yu smiled, "There is no rush. Kill a few Invincibles for fun if you're too bored. Don't waste your time on that worm."
