Chapter 1826: Old Wan Is Still The Best (3)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Moments later, projections started appearing outside the various major realms.

Fate Realm.

Devilroil Marquis sneered and said, "What an arrogant fellow. Is this the current human lord? Not even the previous human lord was this arrogant. Is he really treating the Allheaven Battlefield as his playground?"

Fallen Star Marquis laughed and said, "Yes, he is arrogant. But we can't deny that he is very talented. Apparently, he inherited Culture King's pen dao."

At that, Devilroil Marquis frowned slightly as he said, "In that case, his talent is indeed decent. Culture King...Culture King, someone whose dao can only be succeeded by freaks."

Devilroil Marquis looked down on humanity, but he did not deny Su Yu's talent. Culture King's dao was not something just anyone could inherit. One needed to be a supreme freak to have a chance at inheriting that dao.

Devilroil Marquis said, "No wonder Tiangu called us down here. This man is indeed a threat. Why don't we take this chance to kill him and remove him once and for all?"

"No." Fallen Star Marquis shook his head and said, "He might have some trump cards waiting if he's behaving so arrogantly right now. The myriad races are all paying close attention to him. He won't be so easy to kill. Attacking him will only trigger a bitter battle. Just wait. Wait until the power of laws is further drained and more of our friends are down here."

Not far away, Fate Pseudo Emperor was just about to leave when Fallen Star Marquis smiled and said, "Fateless, come take a seat and have a chat with us. Why are you in such a rush to leave?"

Fate Pseudo Emperor glanced at them. Were they monitoring him? How troublesome.

He smiled and said, "I am going back to make some preparations. Su Yu is not the type to stay idle. Since he's saying this, something might happen soon. He knows about the entrance to the Upper Realm. I need to be careful and increase the security here as a precaution against any surprise attacks."

Abyss Marquis sneered and said, "Would he dare?"

Fate Pseudo Emperor laughed and asked, "Why not? The celestial chasm race has been exterminated just like that. I believe back then, Soulvenge also thought that he wouldn't dare. But he dared."

He was throwing Abyss Marquis' words back at Abyss Marquis. He wouldn't dare? Did these new guys really believe that Su Yu was a coward? Fate Pseudo Emperor was speaking the truth. He was really worried that Su Yu might attack the Fate Realm.

After all, this was the entrance to the Upper Realm.

While Abyss Marquis was raging from the insult, Fallen Star Marquis nodded and said, "In that case, go and do your thing. Avoid leaving your realm lest the humans target you."

"Of course."

Fate Pseudo Emperor did not bother to say more. Why were they warning him repeatedly? Were they worried that he would do something against them? Fate Pseudo Emperor knew what they were thinking. Before long, he was gone.

With him gone, Devilroil Marquis said, "It's already the tenth epoch. Is the fate race still trying to stay neutral? What a beautiful dream. If they want to remain neutral, we will ensure that these neutral races will cease to exist after the elimination of humanity."

Neutrality would only work if humanity and the myriad races were evenly matched. When the war with humanity was over, neutrality would cease to work. After all, the various factions would start worrying about the allegiance of the neutral parties when it was time for them to fight each other.

The fate race was very strong. That was especially true for a peak Daofuse of their race who was staying in the Upper Realm. Even so, they would be eliminated after humanity if they insisted on remaining neutral.

***

At the same time.

Su Yu's voice reached Eastrift Valley as well.

Great Zhou King, who was busy worrying, heard Su Yu's voice. That voice calmed him somewhat. He had to admit that, despite Su Yu’s arrogance, Su Yu had a beautiful track record. Thanks to him, the various races were forced to hide in their respective realms. Thus, his voice had a unique calming effect on it.

"He's finally out. How did it go?"

Great Zhou King sighed. As of late, Old Qin and the others had stopped telling him about some matters. In fact, they seemed to have completely forgotten about humanity after entering Grand Dream City.

Were they not worried that humanity would be gone while they were away? They seemed to trust Su Yu too much. Why were they so sure that humanity would be completely fine so long as Su Yu was still around?

Why was Su Yu looking for Wan Tiansheng? Lan Tian had returned to the Human Realm, but Wan Tiansheng had been missing for quite a while. Then again, Great Zhou King wasn't too bothered about that. Wan Tiansheng might be a freakish genius, but he was still a middle-degree Eternal.

Someone like that would not be too important in the coming battles. Suddenly, his eyes flickered as a rift appeared before him.

Next, Su Yu stepped out with both his hands clasped behind him. Just as Great Zhou King was about to say something, Su Yu said, "Don't tell me someone died. Don't tell me about the glorious history of that person. I am not interested. The myriad races must have deliberately leaked this news to ruin our morale. Why spread it around? You're not stupid. Why are you pretending to be worried?"

Hearing that, Great Zhou King's heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly said, "Even if I keep silent, the myriad races will find a way to spread that news in the Human Realm. If we allow them to seize the initiative and add some embellishments to the story, it will further ruin the morale. In that case, I might as well spread the news myself and prepare everyone for it."

Su Yu nodded in agreement and said, "Even so, you don't need to act so anxious."

"If I don't look anxious, the myriad races will worry that we might have more hidden trump cards."

Once again, Su Yu nodded, "True. Fine."

Great Zhou King frowned slightly and said, "But I'm still worried about the Upper Realm. Something might have happened there. I believe there are still some human Daofuses there, perhaps five or six of them. Or even more, like seven or eight. No matter that, this is a reasonably powerful force. I know you might not care at this point, but it will be a pity to let them die just like that."

"But what can I do about that?" Su Yu asked coldly, "Attacking the Upper Realm immediately?"

Great Zhou King inhaled deeply and said, "No. That's not what I'm trying to say. I suggest that we create some chaos in the Myriad Realms and attract the attention of the myriad races in the Upper Realm. Kill like ten Eternals per race and those in the Upper Realm will sense the intense dao fluctuations. This will reduce the pressure on the humans up there."

"Let's worry about this later." Su Yu said, "My plan takes precedence. I understand what you're saying. You want to attack some realms and kill some Eternals. You are free to assemble a team and do it if you want."

Great Zhou King said helplessly, "Emperor Yu, I'm saying this for humanity, not for myself."

"I understand."

Su Yu nodded and smiled, "I know you're doing this for humanity. But you're not doing this for me. If you act suddenly, the pressure on the humans up there will reduce. But what about me?"

Su Yu sneered and said, "See? You old fogeys are all the same, never practical. I thought you were smart, but I suppose I was wrong. You are the same. In your eyes, nothing is more important than humanity. For you, perhaps the old fogeys up there are more human than the humans down here.

"You need to understand one thing. If you ruin my plan and trigger the war in advance, I might lose three or even five Daofuses. Can you bear the consequences of that?"

Su Yu coldly said, "I suppose you consider this a worthy trade. But in my eyes, all my subordinates are mine. My loyal supporters. Trading three to five Daofuses under me for seven or eight Daofuses up there is a worthy trade for you, but not for me. Great Zhou King, think again before doing anything. Do not assume that humanity can't afford to lose you and your people."

After a long while, Great Zhou King sighed and nodded, "I understand. Don't worry, Emperor Yu. I won't do anything rash."

"Good." Su Yu said, "I know you're a smart man. You have always been a smart man. But you are getting on my nerves. Take this incident as an example. Your first thought was to help the Upper Realm, ignoring my plan and proposing to attack before I'm ready. I hope this is the last time."

Great Zhou King solemnly said, "I understand. But still...I hope you can help those people if possible."

"If it is within my ability, I will naturally help."

Su Yu looked up at the sky and said, "We'll talk more when Principal Wan is back. For now, try to lure all those Daofuses out and fight a small skirmish."

Great Zhou King nodded. After a long hesitation, he asked again, "How are things in the Death Realm?"

"Well. We killed another heavenly king. There sure are a lot of heavenly kings down there."

Su Yu shook his head and said, "We killed East Heavenly King, West Heavenly King, and Cangshan Nether. We also forced North Heavenly King to flee. We killed dozens of marquises and hundreds of death sovereigns. But there is no end to them. That damn place is incredibly annoying to pacify."

Great Zhou King didn't know what to say. For a moment, he regretted giving Su Yu a chance to brag. Whatever. He decided to stop asking. He would know more sooner or later. Suddenly, Su Yu smiled. He could feel Old Wan's aura. Old Wan had arrived. Compared with Great Zhou King, Old Wan was much more reliable. Sure enough, Old Wan was the best.

Su Yu decided to spare no cost in pushing Old Wan to the Daofuse Realm. In the future, Old Wan would serve as the counter for Great Zhou King. He needed someone like that, and he still didn't have such a person at the moment. The Great Deceit King was too tricky to handle.

Great Zhou King was very useful, and he had to put Great Zhou King to use. But he also had to install a counter for him. Great Qin King and the others were all brutes. They wouldn't be effective at this task.

Old Wan was the only person capable of doing this so long as he was strong enough. Even if he couldn't properly counter Great Zhou King, he should be able to prevent Great Zhou King from messing with their plans.

Yes, Great Zhou King had submitted. But he cared more about humanity as a while than Su Yu as a person. There was a difference between the two. He was a Torchbearer. He was here to ensure the continuation of humanity, not Su Yu.
