Chapter 1784: Visit To the Five Elemental Realm (3)

The tea plant nodded and said, "Yeah. You humans are so stupid. How did you lose? Fortunately, you are different. You can win."

Su Yu laughed and said, "No, I'm not that amazing either. I have only been borrowing power. Without Senior Fat Ball and you guys, I wouldn't have been able to do any better. I'm still too weak.

"Thus, I need to prioritize strengthening myself for now. My own strength is what matters. The moment I die, the current alliance will collapse. Grand Dream, Marquis Lanshan, and the other races will no longer help humanity without me."

He was crucial for the current humanity. Without him, humanity would instantly lose its current advantage.

Once again, the tea plant nodded, "Yes. If you die, Fat Ball probably won't want to leave anymore. He will keep waiting there for Master. Only you can find Master and Little Master. Without you, both the book spirit and I will be stuck inside as well. We won't be able to leave anymore."

In short, his death would rid humanity of the assistance from those staying in the Culture King's Residence.

Su Yu laughed, "Thank you for the praise."

The tea plant shook her head and said, "We only have one goal: to find Master and Little Master. We have no other duties. The same goes for Fat Ball. His only duty is watching over our home. He won't care about anything else."

Su Yu grinned.

He did not argue. After a while, they reached the Iron Devourer Realm. He shouted from the outside, "The fight is over. I'll call you guys the next time I fight!"

June appeared and nodded. He asked doubtfully, "Is Heavenly Overseer Marquis...on our side?"

"..."

Su Yu was rendered speechless. Only after a long while did he answer, "No. The next time you meet him, beat him to death."

"Okay."

June did not ask more. But inwardly, he was still feeling doubtful. Was that guy really not on his side?

Sure, sure. Whatever.

Even if he was, with this guy denying all involvement, they could only pretend it wasn't the case.

Suddenly, Su Yu roared, "Heavenly Overseer Marquis is not with me! Hou pseudo Emperor and the others, do not spare him when you encounter him! Do not let the myriad races mislead us! Stay wary!"

What his allies thought didn't matter. The myriad races would only be further convinced that Su Yu was trying to hide something here. Of course, nobody said anything about it since nobody could be sure.

Perhaps this was yet another scheme of Su Yu. Nevertheless, it wouldn't be wrong for them to remain wary of Heavenly Overseer Marquis. After taking a stroll around the Allheaven Battlefield, Su Yu vanished. He even concealed his traces, making it impossible for the myriad races to detect his whereabouts. He was in no rush to return to the Death Realm.

The Death Realm had just been provoked not long ago. He would return when the disturbances stopped. As for the North Heavenly Domain, the South Heavenly King would keep an eye there for now. In any case, he still couldn't find enough experts to fully win the support of South Heavenly King. He couldn't send more living beings down there as that might provoke something unexpected.

If South Heavenly King were to turn against him, things might turn bad for him. Furthermore, the death of West Heavenly King would only help South Heavenly King and North Heavenly King grow stronger. Thus, he wasn't sure if South Heavenly King would grow adventurous with his allegiance upon growing stronger.

It was only natural for Su Yu to remain wary. It would be truly a pity if he were to put all his trust on South Heavenly King only to get himself killed. At the moment, he had gathered ninety-one characters. It wouldn't be long before he reached the required ninety-nine characters.

However, some of these characters were still too weak. He decided to visit the Five Elemental Realm and see if he could do something about these weak characters there. That was a realm without a single Daofuse. It would be safe for him to visit.

Furthermore, he had the book spirit and tea plant in his sea of willpower. They would still suffer from the suppressive force of the Five Elemental Realm, but they would still be as strong as peak Eternals. Su Yu himself would not suffer from any suppression. Thus, he had no fear even if he had to face all five of their current ancestors together.

Before long, he arrived before a certain realm.

A ball-like realm.

Five colors could be clearly seen on the surface of this realm. Earthen yellow, watery blue, fiery red, golden metal, and green wood.

The Five Elemental Realm.

Just the appearance of the realm alone was enough to convince Su Yu that there was an issue with the origin of this realm. The separation of five elements was too clear. With such a separation, it would be impossible for them to produce a true five elemental being naturally.

Su Yu activated his Heaven Gate, but he didn't notice anything. Perhaps he had to enter the realm to see more.

He saw that the River of Time ran through this realm as well. He finally understood how Time Sage was able to move undetected everywhere in the Myriad Realms back then. She had simply been moving through the River of Time. With that, she was able to bypass the realm entrance.

Of course, this wasn't a feat anyone could accomplish. Those with the Heaven Gate open would most likely be able to do this. Those without the Heaven Gate could easily lose their way in the River of Time since they couldn't actually see where they were going.

Su Yu rubbed his chin, wondering if he should take a risk and try entering through the River of Time. He wasn't strong enough. Thus, it would still be quite dangerous for him to sneak inside through the River of Time.

But entering through the proper realm entrance might leak his presence here. The various spies might learn of it.

At any other time, he could still enter after disguising himself. But due to the recent ban he placed on the Allheaven Battlefield, the realm entrance was devoid of people. Due to his recent madness, the myriad races had been hiding inside their respective realms, including the five elemental race.

Thus, any presence in the realm entrance would be extremely conspicuous right now.

"I'm only sneaking through a realm barrier. The distance is short enough that things should be fine, right? The dao of this realm is damaged. It is in a weakened state, and the power its dao can reflect on the River of Time is probably quite weak. It should be safe."

Bypassing the realm entrance could also help him establish some dominance over the five elementals. That action would tell them that they had no way of stopping his arrival. They wouldn't be able to sense his arrival.

With that in mind, Su Yu stepped onto the River of Time again. The River of Time in his eyes was completely different from the river in the eyes of others. For most people, what they called the River of Time was actually only the tributaries. The tributaries representing the daos they pursued.

As for Su Yu, he was walking straight on the main branch of the river. Nobody could see the main branch. Su Yu was an exception. In his eyes, that was a river running through the various realms. If the main branch were a dao as well, it would be an incomparably powerful dao.

A dao affecting all realms in existence.

Those with mastery over this dao would be able to freely traverse the Myriad Realms and suppress any realm they wanted. Someone like that would be the true overlord of the Myriad Realms.

"River of Time...this is how a proper dao should look like. How impressive."

Nobody could see Su Yu as he approached the Five Elemental Realm through the River of Time. If there were a Daofuse here, they might be able to sense some dao fluctuations.

Alas, there was no Daofuse in the Five Elemental Realm.

***

At the same time.

Five Elemental Palace.

This was a palace left behind by the past Five Elemental Ancestor. Its condition had worsened over the years. With the split of the five elements, it would rarely be opened unless the five elemental race as a whole was facing a major crisis.

At the moment, the various experts of the five elements had gathered there. But there were only six individuals in the main hall. The ancestors of the five elements and Topsoil Spirit.

The ancestor of the fire elementals had always been a straightforward person. He grinned and said, "Su Yu is causing trouble again! He truly can't sit still for even a moment. That guy sure is overbearing and arrogant. The entire Allheaven Battlefield is on the verge of becoming his backyard. I doubt things will end up well for him. Even Hundred Battle King lost. How much better could he do?"

He sighed and said, "Everything will be over for him the moment the connection to the Upper Realm opens. Topsoil, I think we should forget about him. We have no backer up there. It's better for us to bow to everyone than join the battle. I understand. I want to fight bravely as well, but we can't afford to fight."

Their lack of Daofuse was their main concern. The five ancestors could face a weak Daofuse upon joining hands, but that was all. What could that even do in a battle between the major powerhouses?

Forget it. In any case, the five elemental race had been playing a minimal role for countless years.

The ancestor of the earth elementals said, "Topsoil, I believe we should maintain a low profile. We can consider doing more after you grow more. For now, you're just a Sunmoon. You are far from the level of our great ancestor."

The ancestors continued persuading Topsoil Spirit against allying with the humans. That was too dangerous! Any mistake could cause the extermination of their race. The moment the connection with the Upper Realm was restored, Su Yu's current advantage would vanish. Was he even aware of the number of Daofuses up there? Why was he acting so rashly before finding out more about that?

Topsoil Spirit frowned and said, "Ancestors, I disagree. The connection to the Upper Realm will only be restored many years in the future. Don't forget that Su Yu has emerged for no more than three years. He hasn't even cultivated for long. Who knows how far he can go after a few more years?"

Topsoil Spirit continued, "Also, our lack of Daofuses is precisely the reason we need to help them when they are in need. Our help will be insignificant if we wait until they grow strong enough. If Su Yu manages to win, our race might really be able to repair our realm origin and reclaim our past glory. Back during the ancient past, the five elemental race was strong enough to stand alongside the major races. But now, we can't even produce a Daofuse anymore."

At that, the ancestors sank into melancholy. Yes. The five elemental race was a major race during the ancient past. Such a powerful race had declined to this level. For now, they were still somewhat powerful. But the moment the connection to the Upper Realm was restored, they would be nothing. They had survived so many epochs by simply bowing to everyone.

What about this epoch?

Should they continue bowing?

They all looked at Topsoil Spirit. He was their sole hope. That was the only member of their race with the ability to utilize all five elements. He was one who was born from the essence of the Five Elemental Ancestor.

In fact, it wouldn't be wrong to call him the son of Five Elemental Ancestor.

Or daughter.

Genders were fluid in the five elemental race.

As for Topsoil Spirit, he considered himself a man.

Topsoil Spirit said, "Also, apart from the battle not long ago, Su Yu seemed to have entered the Luminous Domain Mansion shortly before that. He seemed to have gained even more from the mansion. His troublemaking is a sign."

"Sign?"

"What sign?"

After giving it some thought, Topsoil Spirit explained, "A sign that he's going to start a second war. That guy is too abnormal. I doubt he will obediently wait out the remaining years. He won't wait for the Daofuses to descend and come after him. Only a fool will do that. From his history, I suspect he will snatch the initiative. And he will be doing it very soon."

"Is that even possible?"

"Great Zhou King is the sole human Daofuse. Tiangu and the others are hiding in their realms. They will be even stronger in their own realms. Great Zhou King might be strong, but he won't be able to do much inside these realms."

"Yeah. There is no solution for this predicament. Su Yu can only worry helplessly about the future, but there's nothing he can do. His allies, like the iron devourers, won't be much help as well. They will all be suppressed when entering the realms of other races. Tiangu can kill them easily."

"..."

The ancestors did not have much confidence in Su Yu. This little advantage humanity held right now was pointless. The Upper Realm would determine the final result of the war. And humanity did not have much power left in the Upper Realm.

Topsoil Spirit frowned and said, "No, I don't agree. I have a premonition that this is our last chance to make our choice. Upon winning the second war, Su Yu would no longer need us. At the time, we would be in a very difficult situation. It has been quite some time since the previous battle. Ancestors, we need to make up our mind soon."

Everyone frowned. This wasn't a decision they could make lightly. It concerned the survival of their race. They wouldn't be so desperate with a Daofuse in their race, but alas, they had not been able to produce even one.

Suddenly, the expressions of the five ancestors changed drastically.

Just as the gold ancestor was about to attack, a laughter rang out, "What is this? You didn't even bother to welcome my arrival, and now, you're even thinking of attacking me? Topsoil Spirit, you promised that I would be welcomed to visit."

"Stop!"

Topsoil Spirit shouted with a look of overwhelming shock.

Su Yu...had entered the Five Elemental Palace!

Holy shit!

What a terrifying guy! He had entered completely undetected!

Under the shocked gazes of the five ancestors, a rift appeared in the air, revealing the River of Time behind it. A terrifying existing walked out of it, one step at a time.

Fluttering white robes, long, flowing hair.

Su Yu stepped forward with a smile on his face, while the five ancestors stepped back due to the pressure he was emitting. With complete indifference, Su Yu sat down on the ancient throne of the Five Elemental Ancestor.

The expressions of the five ancestors changed again.

Too arrogant!

That was the throne of the Five Elemental Ancestor!

He was looking down on them too much!

But just as the five ancestors were about to rage, they stopped by what Su Yu said next. "I'm taking a seat because I'm tired. I just finished killing dozens of death marquises with some Daofuses not long ago. I hope you don't mind me taking a break here."

With a genial smile, Su Yu said something that instantly caused all of them to shudder.

"Death marquises...honestly, everyone will grow weak after dying. They were far easier to kill than normal marquises. Dozens of them died before even putting up a proper struggle. Sure enough, you will be worthless the moment you die."

He must be bluffing!

That was the first thought of the ancestors.

But none dared to move. Was this really a bluff?

Nobody could be sure. If that wasn't a bluff...then it would be absolutely horrifying. So Heavenly Overseer Marquis wasn't Su Yu's actual target earlier. At first, Topsoil Spirit also thought that it was a bluff. But when he saw the look in Su Yu's eyes, his heart skipped a beat.

That...might be the truth!

How terrifying.

Su Yu...had been dealing with the Death Realm as of late. And...he won? If that was the case...how terrifying!

"I greet Emperor Yu. After all your hard work, you naturally deserve a good rest!" Topsoil Spirit smiled and said, "You are a rare guest here, Emperor Yu. Allow me to introduce you to our ancestors..."

He was trying to use the introduction as a way to shift the topic.

Su Yu smiled and said, "Five Eternals. Do I not deserve a salute from five Eternals? Or perhaps the leader of humanity is no longer worthy of your respect."

The expressions of the five ancestors changed. How overbearing. This was no longer the ancient past! Humanity was no longer the ruler of the Myriad Realms!

Meanwhile, Su Yu leaned onto the throne and gazed at them with a carefree and calm smile.

Numerous thoughts emerged in Topsoil Spirit's mind. Submission? Yes. This was what Su Yu was demanding. Not a cooperation. A submission. That was a lot more straightforward than expected. Also much more domineering than expected.

Topsoil Spirit had a bitter expression. What choice should they make here? Su Yu was filled with confidence. Was there a reason behind this confidence? Or was this a bluff?

Su Yu continued lounging on the throne as he awaited their answer. It was as though he were the host here, not the guest. An unfathomable smile constantly hung on his face. But it was that very smile that caused Topsoil Spirit to shudder.

The moment to make the decision that would decide the continuation of their race had arrived. Any choice they made here would completely change the future of their race. He knew that they had to make a choice now.
