Chapter 1837: Attacking The Fate Realm, Tiangu Smiles (1)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Outside Culture King's Residence.

Su Yu moved in a rush. He wasn't rushing because he was too busy. Rather, he was rushing because he was afraid that Fat Ball would ask for the stone back. That was a treasure!

Su Yu was no fool. Just how strong was Fat Ball? And the stone had actually remained completely fine after a scratch by Fat Ball. Even a fool would know that it was a treasure.

Thus, Su Yu had fled rapidly before Fat Ball had the chance to change his mind. He was afraid that Fat Ball might claim that it was Culture King's treasure or something. Yes, it was buried there by Xing Yue. But it was buried in Culture King's place, right?

"Since Xing Yue buried something there, she must have been quite close to Culture King. In order to resurrect her, Culture King had also stayed in the Death Realm for a period of time."

Su Yu sank into thought. What was the relationship between the two?

"Lovers?"

Su Yu grimaced. Was Culture King secretly not a single? So be it. He decided not to care. He took the stone out and focused on it with a brow raised. Just what was this? It was likely that not even Xing Yue remembered what it was.

"A weapon? Can I smash someone with it? Or something with a different usage?"

At Su Yu's level, no regular treasure could catch his eye anymore. He decided to keep it for now. Perhaps he would discover its use in the future.

***

Before long, Su Yu left the Human Realm.

Once outside, he concealed his presence again.

He wasn't planning to do anything about the matter in Heavendoom City for now. But he had informed Wan Tiansheng about the matter. Either Wan Tiansheng or Lan Tian would keep an eye on those people. Both of them were good at such tasks.

He had a far bigger matter to worry about. He only needed to kill either Abyss Marquis, Celestial Dragon, or Talisman King and read their memories to learn more secrets about the Upper Realm.

And when the time was right, he could even kill West Royal Consort for the secrets of Control King's lineage. She was only still alive because the time was not yet ripe. He was trying to avoid alerting the myriad races and Control King's lineage before he carried out his plan.

"I'll go to the Fate Realm first."

He wouldn't mind sneaking into the Fate Realm if possible. If not, it didn't matter anyway.

Fate race, the race controlling the entrance to the Upper Realm.

Su Yu was quite curious about one thing. Why did the myriad races feel safe leaving the control of the entrance to the fate race? They were not weak. So why? Su Yu himself would have conquered the Fate Realm long ago if he were in the same position.

Also, even humanity had left the fate race alone. After all, humanity had not conquered the Fate Realm during the ninth epoch when they enjoyed a degree of dominance. So what were all these people thinking? That was a strategic point. He would definitely prioritize it over the myriad races.

With the entrance in hand, he would have the option of attacking or defending the chokepoint.

"The Fate Pseudo Emperor is quite strong. He might even be hiding his strength. He has been keeping a low profile for so long. I need to be cautious about them. Not long ago, he passed me a secret message. Clearly, he intends to please both sides. A smart guy, but also hard to trust."

Su Yu continued thinking about the Fate Pseudo Emperor. He would need the cooperation of Fate Pseudo Emperor if he wanted to take the Fate Realm smoothly. The fate race had a decent number of Invincibles, and the Fate Pseudo Emperor was also powerful. The other races would be suppressed inside, and the losses would be high if humanity were to invade alone.

With all those thoughts in mind, Su Yu moved toward the Fate Realm while hiding his presence.

Fate Realm.

Peak of Heavenly Fate Mountain.

Just as Fate Pseudo Emperor stood up to leave, Devilroil Marquis said, "Brother Fateless, do you have another matter to handle?"

After thinking about it, Fate Pseudo Emperor said, "I'm feeling restless. I'm worried that the humans will attack the Fate Realm. The Celestial Chasm Realm has been taken down. The connection between the myriad races and the Death Realm has been severed. With the Fate Realm gone as well, the myriad races will be completely helpless against humanity."

Abyss Marquis sneered and said, "Humanity? Attacking the Fate Realm? They will suffer for it. Fateless, as long as you don't betray us, the two of us are enough to handle even Zhou Tianqu. If they do invade, we only need to keep them occupied inside the realm. Humanity will cease to exist not long after."

Based on what the myriad races knew of humanity, this was an accurate assessment. So long as the top human experts were trapped in the Fate Realm, humanity would be in big trouble. The allies of humanity would be subjected to the suppressive force of the realm.

The myriad races would suffer from the same issue, but they had the numbers to make up for it. At worst, they would throw lives at humanity to slowly kill those humans out.

Fate Pseudo Emperor said, "Betrayal? Abyss Marquis, why don't you exterminate the fate race if you're so worried? The celestial chasm race can take over the Fate Realm instead. Oh, wait. I doubt the celestial chasm race has anyone to even settle the Fate Realm."

That was a blatant provocation. But he was right. Abyss Marquis' expression turned unsightly.

After throwing a glance at the three, Fate Pseudo Emperor said, "Do not forget that this is the Fate Realm. Do I need your approval to even move around in my own realm?"

Fallen Star Marquis smiled and said, "You misunderstand us, Brother Fateless. Devilroil and Abyss merely gave you a reminder out of kindness. Do not misunderstand us."

Fate Pseudo Emperor said nothing and vanished with a flicker.

The moment he left, Abyss Marquis said, "Fateless is too fickle. Nobody can predict what he's thinking. We need to be wary of him."

Devilroil Marquis said, "Heavenly Fate Marquis is not dead. The fate race won't be easy to handle. That old fart is not weak at all. In fact, not even the cooperation between me and Fallen Star is enough to handle him."

He shook his head and said, "The fate race has always been indecisive. But they have remained neutral for many years. I doubt they will do anything stupid this epoch. Even if they do pick a side, it won't be humanity. During the previous epoch, Hundred Battle attacked personally. And what happened? Heavenly Fate Marquis descended to defend the realm against humanity. Abyss, do not worry needlessly."

"Fine."

Abyss Marquis said nothing else as it would seem like he was trying to incite disharmony between them if he were to say more.

***

Fate Realm's entrance.

Several Invincibles were standing guard there, including Endless Passage, the genius of the fate race.

Noticing the Fate Pseudo Emperor's approach, Endless Passage hurriedly stepped forth and greeted, "Patriarch."

Fate Pseudo Emperor nodded before looking around. A river swirled in his eyes as he studied his surroundings. After a long while, his gaze landed on a certain tree. On the tree, a tiny bird was resting leisurely.

Its presence was negligible, its aura weak. Any regular person would ignore it after one look. As Fate Pseudo Emperor focused on the bird, the River of Fate in his eyes swirled. Slowly, he saw something different. He saw countless spirit-like beings floating above the bird. The bird remained still, as though it had fallen asleep.

Fate Pseudo Emperor continued staring at the bird. After a while, the bird moved slightly. Noticing what his patriarch was looking at, Endless Passage looked over and asked, "Patriarch, what is it? Is there something different about that crow?"

Fate Pseudo Emperor smiled and said, "Nothing. Keep watching over the entrance."

"Understood. Don't worry, Patriarch."

Fate Pseudo Emperor nodded and walked toward the entrance without saying anything. Endless Passage hurriedly asked, "Are you leaving, Patriarch?"

"No. I'm only taking a look." While walking forward, Fate Pseudo Emperor asked, "Have you grasped our ultimate technique, the Heavenglimpse Eye?"

"No." Endless Passage answered sheepishly, "I still have a long way to go."

"Try harder. This is an extremely important technique. It is the main reason the fate race has endured for so long."

"I understand."

At that point, Fate Pseudo Emperor reached the entrance. He stood there silently. Compared to the other realms, the Fate Realm was actually a floating realm in the sky. It was the sole exception among the various realms.

Overlooking the world outside from above, he said, "Endless Passage, the fate race has never been the supreme race in any epoch. But why can we establish our realm up here? Do you know why?"

After giving it some thought, Endless Passage answered, "It is said that our Pseudo Emperor back then made a bet with Culture King. He wagered on fate race's ability to see through destiny. Culture King lost the bet and allowed us to have this location. We were granted the honor of being the closest to the heavens, staying at the origin of the various daos."

"Nonsense." Fate Pseudo Emperor laughed and said, "Wager? No. The truth is that back then, humanity had yet to complete its conquest. One day, Culture King entered our realm and claimed that our dao was very interesting. He claimed that our race was very interesting as well. As we knew the secrets of the heavens, we knew when to bow and when to stand. And then, he asked my grandfather if that day would be the last day of the fate race."

This was Endless Passage's first time hearing that story. He asked in surprise, "Is that so? So did our Pseudo Emperor back then manage to see the fate of our race?"

"Fate?" Fate Pseudo Emperor laughed and said, "Was there even a need? Nope. My grandfather did not try. He simply answered no. Culture King was impressed with his answer and decided to hang the Fate Realm in the sky, making us the bridge to the Upper Realm. He even joked that the fate race would be long-lived. The race might endure even after the death of the Pseudo Emperor back then. He said that life as a guard wasn't that bad."

Endless Passage was stunned.

Fate Pseudo Emperor smiled and asked, "Do you understand now?"

Endless Passage asked, "Are you saying that the Pseudo Emperor back then believed that Culture King could eliminate the fate race?"

"What do you think?"

Endless Passage thought about it and asked uncertainly, "Was the previous Pseudo Emperor powerful?"

"Of course."

"But he wasn't a match for Culture King even in the Fate Realm?"

"Foolish. Yes, the previous Pseudo Emperor had the support of our realm. But Culture King did not suffer from the suppressive force. What do you think? Could our previous Pseudo Emperor be a match for Culture King?"

"No?" Endless Passage sounded unsure.

Fate Pseudo Emperor sighed and said, "A random joke from all those years ago had sealed the path of the fate race. Because of that, we managed to continue existing for over a hundred thousand years. And now, I can sense the River of Fate trembling intensely, with countless corpses and blood in it."

"Patriarch, we..."

Fate Pseudo Emperor ignored him. Just then, the fate emperor dao trembled violently. At the same time, Abyss Marquis and the other arrived. They stood not far away, observing him curiously.

After a short moment, Fallen Star Marquis recalled something. He said with a frown, "Heavenglimpse Eye?"

The others were hit by a realization upon hearing that. All of them frowned.

What?

Abyss Marquis solemnly said, "Fateless..."

Fallen Star Marquis stopped him from speaking more through a voice transmission, "Let him be. The usage of the Heavenglimpse Eye will greatly harm himself. Is he trying to spy on the fate of the Myriad Realms?"
