Puresolar Marquis decided to play along and asked, "In that case, have you decided on how we should handle North Heavenly King, Human Lord?""Yes."
"..."
Once again, they were rendered speechless. They glanced at Marquis Lanshan. This...wasn't an easy person to communicate with.
Marquis Lanshan was forced to step in. She said, "Your Majesty, the living experts can't make a move here. These guardians, who were petrified by Devote King, can help, but there are no Daofuses among them."
Su Yu nodded and said, "Therefore, I have a different idea. First, we will capture some unaffiliated death sovereigns, those who are still refusing to submit. I doubt everyone in the East Heavenly Domain and West Heavenly Domain are willing to submit to us. There are many death sovereigns in the Celestial River of Death as well. Capture them, take them into the Luminous Domain Mansion, and have the guardians kill them. They will benefit from the heavenly rewards. And toward the end, we can have them kill some marquises to advance into Daofuses."
Marquis Lanshan asked, "What if we awaken some powerful beings from the river?"
"At that point, I'll have to deploy some of the experts in the world of the living down here." Su Yu said nonchalantly, "In such a situation, we are no longer in a position to worry too much. It is only a matter of time before these beings emerge from the river. In that case, we might as well go all the way and ignore the chaos we will cause. For now, we are only holding back to keep things calm, not because we're helpless against North Heavenly King."
Marquis Lanshan nodded and moved on to a different topic, "Will you be summoning South Heavenly King over?"
Su Yu shook his head and said, "I'll go see her personally. I only need Lanshan with me. He Tu, take the guardians and the marquises and start capturing death sovereigns from the river. Catch as many as you can. I'll take them all to the mansion later."
"Understood."
Su Yu continued, "He Tu, if you wish to remove the seal on you, it is now possible. This will be your chance to grow strong, but you will be further away from resurrection."
He Tu sank into hesitation. Removing his seal?
Resurrection...
He naturally wanted to go back to life. It was much better to be alive than dead. But...was it even possible? He had been watching helplessly as those around him grew while he remained at the seventh degree. Thus, he had been thinking about this matter. Due to how weak he was, even the marquises were taking him lightly.
After thinking about it, he said, "I'm willing to remove my seal. I was already near Daofuse before my death. With the recovery of my memories all these years, I will be able to rapidly grow near the Daofuse Realm upon removing my seal."
"Are you certain?" Su Yu asked, "There is hope for you to resurrect. After all, you had turned into a death spirit directly in your original body through the life death fruit given by General Grand Dream."
He Tu frowned as he hesitated slightly, but finally, he said, "I am willing to remove my self. If resurrection is truly possible, it is only a matter of time before you grow strong enough to resurrect even Daofuses. If you gain the ability to resurrect Eternals as a Daofuse, I only need to wait until you become a Master of Law."
Su Yu chuckled and said, "You sure are optimistic. Master of Law...sure. But I need to live long enough to reach that level."
Then, a pen appeared in his hand. He pointed at He Tu with it. At the sight of the pen, the marquises trembled in shock.
Culture King's pen!
As for Marquis Lanshan, her eyes lit up with admiration. Sure enough, Su Yu had inherited Culture King's dao!
He Tu merely felt his vision blur before the seal within his body break apart.
Boom!
Instantly, a powerful burst of death qi erupted from his body. He had not been idling all these years. And he was already quite strong prior to his death. Thus, his strength started growing right after his seal was gone.
In the blink of an eye, he reached the eighth degree. And moments later, he reached the ninth degree.
Above him, a dao manifested. Su Yu could see a smaller dao wrapped around a large dao. The tiny dao continued spreading along the large dao. But unfortunately, the spread did not last forever.
Gradually, it slowed to a halt.
Su Yu could see a massive wave blocking the smaller dao from spreading further. That would be the bottleneck he needed to break through to become a Daofuse. He Tu was still stuck below the Daofuse Realm, but he was much nearer now. He looked disappointed.
He was still not a Daofuse even after removing his seal. That was mostly because he wasn't a Daofuse prior to his death.
After a while, Su Yu nodded and said, "Not bad. If you're lucky, you might be able to reach Daofuse soon."
He looked at the others and said, "Openmountain, the rest of you will stay here and capture some death sovereigns. I'll go meet the South Heavenly King. If everything proceeds smoothly, we will start our war against North Heavenly King before long."
"Yes!"
Openmountain and the others accepted their order.
Some of the death sovereigns gathered there were familiar with the guardians. This was quite a weird feeling for some of them. Not long ago, they were still enemies. But now, they were allies.
Sure enough, there were no eternal enemies.
***
Not long after, Su Yu departed with Marquis Lanshan.
They moved toward North Heavenly Domain as the South Heavenly King was there.
It was dangerous to meet South Heavenly King, but the old turtle's words had removed some of Su Yu's worries. According to the old turtle, South Heavenly King was basically a fangirl of Culture King. In that case, it was unlikely that she would turn against humanity.
***
North Heavenly Domain.
Both South Heavenly King and North Heavenly King saw the approaching golden light.
North Heavenly King's eyes flickered as he sent South Heavenly King a voice transmission, "He's coming with only Marquis Lanshan. If we kill him here, we can split the Death Realm among the two of us..."
Su Yu was not here with the dog or the old turtle. Even North Heavenly King was impressed by his courage.
Marquis Lanshan was of the same opinion. She sent Su Yu a voice transmission, "Your Majesty, are we really going just like this? It's too dangerous. That's North Heavenly King's territory. We're still uncertain of South Heavenly King's loyalties. Even if we're sure, the way you speak...uhm...when you meet her..."
The truth was too awkward to speak. She wanted to say that Su Yu was too rude. Just look at how he had spoken to the three marquises earlier. But that was fine. With Marquis Lanshan and so many guardians around, Su Yu was safe from their wrath.
But Su Yu could not act so arrogantly before South Heavenly King. Upon angering her, he would risk facing two heavenly kings and dozens of marquises with just the two of them.
Su Yu replied with a smile, "Don't worry."
No, she was definitely worried. Marquis Lanshan was filled with resignation. How could she not worry? This was too worrying!
Since she first met this human lord, he had only shown his overbearing side. He had never bowed. Even when one talked gently to him, he would refuse to listen. How could she not worry about someone like this?
No matter what, South Heavenly King was the overlord of a region. She was really worried that Su Yu would offend this overlord.
***
Before long, Su Yu reached his destination. He saw the powerful being from afar. Under Marquis Lanshan's worried gaze, he flashed a wide smile and said, "Senior South Heavenly King, Su Yu, disciple of Culture King, greets the martial mother."
"..."
Stunned.
Marquis Lanshan was stunned.
South Heavenly King was stunned as well. Her eyes flickered in stupefaction. Earlier, she was still hesitating about whether she should greet Su Yu. What could they even say to each other? What should she say if the new human lord couldn't win her approval?
But this...this was not something she had expected. Martial mother? She couldn't think straight anymore.
Martial mother?
Culture King's disciple?
She was completely dumbstruck. How...should she answer? What should she do? Should she...respond to that address?
What...a difficult choice!
While she was still in shock, Su Yu took a pen out and wrote in the air. Then, a golden sheet appeared. Next, he stamped his human lord's token on it before sending the golden sheet over.
Ignoring the golden sheet, South Heavenly King stared at the pen blankly. Culture King's pen! He...was capable of wielding Culture King's pen!
Even after accepting the golden sheet, she continued blanking out. Su Yu called out again, "Senior? No, Martial Mother. That is the conferment I wrote for you. The ancient past is over, so I'm renewing your conferment and granting you the support of humanity's fortune. From this day onward, you will be the South Heavenly King recognized by the current human court."
South Heavenly King put the sheet away and bowed with the same blank expression, "Thank...you."
She couldn't think straight. Was she supposed to thank him for this? She was already the South Heavenly King! What even was the point of this appointment?
Maybe it mattered?
It didn't matter. Since it was written with Culture King's pen, she would accept it.
***
Marquis Lanshan felt like her jaw was going to drop to the ground.
There were only two words in her brain: Holy shit!
Did that really work? What was this? Just like that? South Heavenly King was subdued just like that? Was this a joke?
Just like that, she accepted an appointment from him! This...was not a scene Marquis Lanshan had imagined.
Heavens!
Marquis Lanshan could feel her worldview collapsing around her. This new human lord was definitely not the second Culture King! They were different! As of that moment, she no longer felt that the new human lord resembled Culture King. No, this new human lord was merely a scoundrel!
Her worldview continued collapsing around her. Both Marquis Lanshan and South Heavenly King continued blanking out.
With a friendly and passionate smile, Su Yu stood amid the death spirits and said, "Martial Mother, the traitorous North Heavenly King has betrayed humanity and Culture King! I will kill him one day!"
South Heavenly King nodded with stupefaction, allowing Su Yu to stand before her. Martial mother...would it be appropriate for her to accept that title?
Should she remind the new human lord that it wasn't appropriate?
