Unification of humanity.Everyone could see that humanity had finally been unified. This was true unification. There were no elders or seniors nagging the leader, telling the leader what to do. There were no fellow humans dragging the leader back. The Invincibles had submitted. Even the Daofuse had bowed.
Compared to the previous nine human lords, Su Yu was special. He was different. He was not a human lord picked by the existing human rulers. Rather, he had killed his way to the top one step at a time. He killed to the point where even Great Zhou King and Great Qin King felt compelled to pull him back to the embrace of humanity.
He had not received the guidance of old fossils. He had relied only on his fortuitous encounters, courage, and wisdom to gain power. He had grown outside of humanity before returning to rule humanity.
He had constantly suppressed and awed the Invincibles, who were his seniors and highly respected among humanity. So thorough was his suppression that they had no choice but to bow.
That was because the forces under his control were already stronger than the entire humanity. He swept through the myriad races. He defeated the death spirits. He dominated both the living and the dead. By supporting and strengthening those supportive of him, he further solidified his power base, to the point that nobody could hope to go against him anymore.
In the valley, Su Yu looked up at the sky. A new character had taken form in his sea of willpower.
"Emperor."
The dao of emperor. Beyond the skies, the power of luck roiled, as though a colossal dragon was roaring. The moment that character took form, the aura of an emperor rippled out of his body, his presence turning increasingly domineering.
Even the River of Time trembled at its appearance. Furthermore, an indistinct dao, one that was gigantic, became vaguely visible to Su Yu far away. It felt as though that dao was waiting for him.
Was this the Human Emperor's dao?
Perhaps.
Perhaps at the very end of that river, the Human Emperor had opened a massive dao. And perhaps Su Yu was starting to touch upon that dao. When his emperor character grew strong enough, it might be able to lead him there.
But it was clearly still not good enough for now. The character was still too weak to lead him there. He was also not strong enough to go that far.
This was Su Yu's forty-sixth character. He was in no rush. He was accumulating characters rapidly. It had only been a few days, but he had formed more than ten new characters. The moment the emperor character appeared, the various Invincibles only felt the pressure Su Yu projected grow heavier.
Su Yu did not remark on his new character. Instead, he sent numerous carrier treasures flying as he said, "Heavenly Forge King, I hereby order you to forge a set of formation base and hand it to Great Ming King. Forge a set of talismans and hand it to Principal Niu. Forge an abacus and hand it to Marquis Xia. Forge a whip and hand it to Prefect Zhu. Forge a pair of gloves and hand them to Nan Wujiang. Forge a dagger and hand it to Yun Chen. Forge..."
Heavenly Forge King was smiling from ear to ear. Forging so many weapons? All those carrier treasures serving as his forging materials?
Alas, his smile vanished soon after as Su Yu coldly said, "Complete everything within three months. The weapons must be no weaker than the middle heaven-grade. High heaven-grade is preferable. You will be rewarded for each peak heaven-grade weapon forged."
"..."
Three months!
Su Yu had ordered the forging of more than ten weapons, with a deadline of three months. Heavenly Forge King's face turned unsightly.
Fuck this!
These were heaven weapons! Not earth weapons! More than ten of them, and each must be no weaker than a middle heaven weapon! In short, he had to complete one every five days or so. Was this supposed to be a joke? He felt like he would die from sheer exhaustion.
Su Yu continued, "Gather all weaponsmiths of humanity. They can help with odd jobs or the processing of the materials. All human weaponsmiths will be under your command for three months. All prefectures are to cooperate in this matter and conscript the service of all weaponsmiths.
"Nobody is allowed to refuse the conscription. Refusal will be punished with death. The Weaponsmithing Department will be established. Zhao Tianbing will serve as the deputy, and Zhao Li will serve as the inspector general. I want to see all this done within three months. Additionally, all Eternals are to register themselves with their specialties. Those who have contributed will be rewarded, and those who have not contributed will not be rewarded.
"Any questions, Heavenly Forge?"
What question could Heavenly Forge King have when Su Yu was saying that refusal would be met with death? With all human weaponsmiths conscripted to help him, it wouldn't be an issue for him to finish this task. He simply couldn't resist this task, especially when he saw the pile of carrier treasures before him. There were at least a thousand of them.
Su Yu continued, "Silk Destroying and Xia Longwu are to start more wars. I want to see our Sunmoons deployed to the battlefield. All prefects are to be on standby for war as well. They are all Sunmoons. Through battles, they will temper themselves and strive to reach the Daomeld Realm as soon as possible. All generals below the Eternal Realm are to be on standby for war as well. No prefecture is allowed to stand in the way of our mobilization."
One order after another was given. Of the forty-three human Eternals, fewer than twenty were given the opportunity to switch to the Weapon Fusion Method.
As for the others, he said nothing about them. He already made things clear. Those who had contributed would be rewarded. Those who had not contributed would naturally not be rewarded.
Su Yu surveyed the crowd before him and solemnly said, "Now, I have a task requiring the assistance of Eternals. This is a great opportunity for you to make massive contributions. By completing this task, I will assist you with the switching of daos or recovery of your tri-life bodies."
At that, numerous eyes lit up. What task was it?
As for the Eternals that had already been rewarded, they were both envious and helpless about it. After all, these were the people who had supported Su Yu earlier, and some were simply from the multiple character faction.
What was the point of envying these people?
"Guarding the death tunnels." Su Yu said, "The Death Realm has been pacified. The death sovereigns are now under my command, and their armies have withdrawn from the tunnels. However, I still need people guarding the tunnels to prevent any new death spirits from escaping undetected.
"The task is simple, but it's not without risks. I don't know the petrification method. Without this method, the erosion of death qi will be much more damaging. A low-degree Eternal will probably last around ten years. A middle-degree Eternal can probably last around thirty to fifty years.
"However, I aim to conquer the Myriad Realms within ten years. If you survive until then, you will all be rewarded. At the minimum, you will be appointed a titled general. While guarding the tunnels, you will also receive all the benefits the Eternals in active war are receiving."
"..."
The Eternals looked at each other, their expressions turning solemn.
Guarding the death tunnels.
This was no easy task. Ten years. But what if Su Yu were to die in that time? While most were still considering the task, Zhou Polong sighed and said, "I am willing to go."
Su Yu disliked him. He knew this very well. Clearly, Su Yu had not forgotten the suppression the multiple character faction had suffered over the years. As such, he disliked the entire Zhou Family. He did not care about their prestige and strength. What was the big deal about being a Zhou?
Even Great Zhou King was already bowing before him. Zhou Polong was aware that most of these Eternals wouldn't be quite willing to accept this task. It was simply too risky. But he also knew that at the moment, Su Yu required volunteers. He knew what Su Yu was thinking. Su Yu wanted to free the top-tier combatants under him from this burdensome duty.
Looking at his so-called cousin, Zhou Potian said, "Zhou Potian is willing to go."
Two Invincibles from the Zhou Family had volunteered. They would free two top-tier combatants from the ancient cities.
Su Yu scanned the crowd indifferently and asked, "Anyone else?"
"Great Liang is willing to go."
"Liu Wushen of Great Han is willing to go."
One Invincible after another stepped forth. Through this act, they would free the top-tier combatants. Realizing that, some of the weaker founding kings volunteered as well. At the same time, some of the weaker new Invincibles volunteered for the task as well. Through this duty, they would buy more opportunities for their prefectures.
Before long, fourteen Invincibles had volunteered. However, there were thirty-five guardians waiting to be liberated. Clearly, fourteen was far from enough.
Nevertheless, this was a satisfying result for him. He smiled and said, "In that case, I'll be troubling all of you. This is a difficult task, but you stand to gain a lot from it. You will understand in the future.
"Each of the fourteen Eternals heading out for this task will receive a suitable weapon for the Weapon Fusion Method. With these weapons, you will rebuild these ancient cities and become the guardians of these tunnels. The original ancient cities are all weapons of the existing guardians.
"Heavenly Forge alone is probably insufficient to complete so many weapons in time. But the guardians have experience in this. I will gather the guardians and solicit their help with the forging of your new weapons. We shall suppress the dead."
"We thank Emperor Yu."
All fourteen of them were quite happy to hear that. With this, they would first receive a powerful heaven weapon each before starting their task. Since these weapons were meant for the Weapon Fusion Method, it clearly signified that Su Yu would also help them complete the switching of their daos first. This was not a bad deal for them.
Not far away, Heavenly Forge King exhaled in relief. Fortunately, he was not required to forge all these weapons alone. The workload was simply too heavy to be completed by him, even with the assistance of all weaponsmiths humanity could muster.
Su Yu said, "As for the other guardians, I will gather some Eternals from our myriad race allies to fill the number. Thirty-five guardians will be released, and thirty-five new guardians will be appointed. I hope everyone can give their all to this task."
"Understood."
Everyone answered.
With this, almost all the human Invincibles had been given their own tasks.
Su Yu said, "Great Qin King and Great Xia King, come with me."
He would first allow them to fuse with the heavenly desolate beast's corpse before letting them fuse with the dao. This required time. When he was done with this, he would take a few more Eternals to the River of Time. After that, he would need to set off to the Five Elemental Realm.
He needed to both secure their allegiance and gather some Eternals from their race to replace the guardians. He still needed twenty-one. The hou race did not have too many Invincibles. The iron devourer race had a decent number, but he couldn't take too many from them lest the enemies notice what he was doing.
He intended to gather ten Eternals from the hou and iron devourer races. As for the remaining eleven, he intended to gather them from the five elemental race.
The five elemental race did not have too many top-tier experts, but they had a healthy number of low and middle-degree Eternals. They lacked a Daofuse, but providing more than ten Eternals was feasible for this race. After all, each elemental race had multiple public Eternals. And this was excluding their hidden Eternals. In fact, they could probably provide him with even twenty Eternals.
Through this, Su Yu would swap all the top-tier combatants with weaker combatants. He didn't even need to worry too much about the loyalty of these new guardians. Once they accepted the task, they would have no choice but to carry it out. The heavenly laws were sufficient to restrict these people.
By taking all these Eternals to the River of Time, he could also take the chance to comprehend more techniques and characters.
