Su Yu thought about it and said, "How about this? I'll use it for now, but I'll return it when you're needed outside. Or we can wait until humanity's fortune grows stronger and I can stabilize this place with the human lord's token."The human lord's token had already grown into a divine weapon. Naturally, its offensive strength was still nothing impressive since that wasn't its main function in the first place. But a token of fortune would serve nicely to suppress the laws as well. In a way, it was quite similar to that piece of stone.
"Fine."
This was an acceptable arrangement for the white dog. He sniffed Su Yu and remarked oddly, "You have so many different smells on you."
Su Yu nodded, "Yes. I am searching for my own dao."
Su Yu smiled and asked, "Fat Ball, I have a question. Why did Culture King separate himself from the pen dao instead of growing it back then?"
"I don't know." The white dog shook his head and said, "I don't ask about such unimportant matters."
"Unimportant?"
"Yeah." The white dog nodded and said, "Nothing is more important than what to eat for lunch, what to eat for dinner, and when the master will return."
Fine. Su Yu couldn't argue against that logic. But he was unbothered. He only asked just in case, but it didn't matter if he couldn't get an answer here.
He thought about it and said, "One more thing. I have to discuss something with you."
"What is it?"
The white dog was curious. What was so important that they needed to hold a discussion about it?
Su Yu hesitated slightly and said, "The Book of Time. The book left behind by your little master. I have it right now."
The white dog nodded. He was already aware of that.
Su Yu said, "I wish to pursue my own dao, but that requires a lot of energy and time. The Book of Time is a semi-completed product. It is a very impressive book, but I don't want to waste too much time on it. Thus, I'm thinking of fusing it with my Mark of Civilization if I manage to find the initial form of my dao."
Su Yu turned solemn as he continued, "The Book of Time was something the Time Sage forged with much time and effort. It is much stronger than even my Mark of Civilization. But no matter what, it isn't mine. And it isn't my dao. I won't have full compatibility with it.
"I want my dao weapon be something I forge myself. Thus, I wish to fuse the Book of Time with my book. What do you think about it?"
The white dog blanked out for a long while before asking, "Without that book, can you still find Little Master?"
"I believe I can. She left me a drop of tears. That is a tracker." Su Yu explained, "The Book of Time is also a tracker. But fusing it with my book won't change anything."
"If you still have a way to locate Little Master, sure. Just fuse the book away."
The white dog did not seem too bothered as he said, "The book isn't important. My masters are the only things that matter. Since Little Master has thrown her book away, she clearly didn't need it anymore. If fusing it can strengthen yourself, do it. Just make sure you can still find my little master."
Su Yu said, "Thank you for being so understanding, Fat Ball."
At the praise, Fat Ball wagged his tail and said, "A book is naturally not as important as people! If you grow stronger, it will also be easier for you to find Little Master!"
"Smart!"
Su Yu raised his thumb and gave the white dog another praise.
"With what you said, I can do it without worry. When my Mark of Civilization takes form, I will find a way to fuse the Book of Time with it."
Su Yu had to consider Fat Ball's opinion. After all, Fat Ball had helped him a lot. Sure, his subordinates were now powerful, and Fat Ball had only helped personally once. But he still had to consider Fat Ball's feelings. With the Book of Time, Su Yu believed he could save a lot of time.
That was something the Time Sage had spent countless years forging. It definitely contained countless fake daos. Many of the daos would overlap with the daos in Su Yu's Mark of Civilization.
As for the daos not present in his Mark of Civilization, those were probably the daos of some extinct ancient races. And since these races had gone extinct, perhaps he could directly steal their daos since all these daos were now ownerless. It was likely that these daos had remained masterless for many years.
Seeing that Su Yu was deep in thought, Fat Ball waited while swinging his tail around. When Su Yu was done thinking, he said, "Big Wood's sentience is finally developed. Do you want his help outside?"
"Not for now." Su Yu smiled, "I have enough people for now. Is Big Wood strong?"
"Kind of. A little stronger than the book spirit and tea plant."
Su Yu nodded. That would be a decent helper. After all, the tree was very old. In fact, it was older than even the white dog. With its spirit developed, it would definitely be quite strong. According to Su Yu's personal classification, both the book spirit and tea plant were roughly tier four experts. Since the tree was stronger, it was probably a tier three expert.
After a short chat with Fat Ball, Su Yu stood up and said, "I'll be taking my leave now. I still need to prepare for my dao pioneering. It's a lot of work."
"Okay."
Fat Ball watched Su Yu's departing figure with a slightly empty expression. In truth, he was also quite sad about the coming destruction of the Book of Time. But he accepted it since Su Yu was doing so to grow stronger. After all, a stronger Su Yu would be able to find his little master more easily.
It would be pointless for Su Yu to find his little master while weak. His little master and master were very strong. And even people as strong as they were in danger. If Su Yu were to look for them with his current strength, he would probably die to a random breath from the unknown enemy.
***
Emperor Su's Court.
Weaponsmithing Department.
Over a thousand pages were gathered before Su Yu. Not far away, Zhao Li and the others were looking incredibly exhausted. It hadn't been long since Su Yu had made the request and they had completed over a thousand pages. They had worked very hard. After all, each page was an earth weapon.
"Sorry for the trouble, Teacher."
Su Yu smiled at the tired Zhao Li, who smiled back and said, "It's no big deal. It's only some earth weapons. It is merely repetitive work."
They had completed this task in an impressively short time.
Su Yu looked at Heavenly Forge King and the others before saying, "Don't forget the remaining weapons you need to complete."
Su Yu was very solemn as he said, "Humanity is currently conquering the Myriad Realms. You can enlist even the weaponsmiths of the myriad races to help with the task. As long as you supervise them well to prevent them from leaving any backdoors, it will be fine. Increase the speed. Humanity doesn't have too any weaponsmiths, but they are a lot among the myriad races."
Heavenly Forge King nodded with an exhausted face and said, "Sure. I'll get Xia Longwu and the others to send some weaponsmiths over."
Then, Heavenly Forge King smiled and said, "I have advanced!"
"Divine weaponsmith?"
"No. The seventh degree." Heavenly Forge King said happily, "Seventh-degree Eternal."
"Oh. Congratulations."
There was zero excitement in Su Yu's voice. It was only the seventh degree. From how happy Heavenly Forge King was, he had thought that it was an advancement into the Daofuse Realm. What could a seventh-degree Eternal do nowadays?
Heavenly Forge King rolled his eyes. What an arrogant kid. It was the seventh degree! He had actually benefited significantly from his recent hard work. He had even switched his dao into the weaponsmithing dao. And having stepped into the seventh degree, the Daofuse Realm was within reach!
Meanwhile, Zhao Li and Zhao Tianbing were still Sunmoons. Zhao Tianbing was already a peak Sunmoon, while Zhao Li was still a sixth-stage Sunmoon. He was still quite far from dao affirmation.
The two had also benefited from the countless weapons they had forged recently. Su Yu hadn't even helped them much. He would only help when it was time for their advancement. In truth, he hadn't given much help to his teachers, such as Liu Wenyan and the others.
Most of them were still at the Sunmoon Realm. Bai Feng was the exception as he was still a Mountainsea.
The stronger they got, the more missions they would receive. And the more dangerous things would be for them. Su Yu preferred to keep them away from the more dangerous battles. As Eternals, they wouldn't be able to exclude themselves in any major battles involving humanity.
His teachers had not said anything about that. Su Yu was unsure how they felt about this. But seeing the many new pages before him, Su Yu was full of smiles. For now, this would do.
It was always said that there were ten thousand races in existence, but that was probably the number during the early years of creation. Many had gone extinct since then and the numbers had dropped significantly. He would worry about forging new pages after running out of his current pages.
"I'll be forging them into my Mark of Civilization now. I will need to keep working on them after this."
As he said that, Su Yu took his Mark of Civilization out. Several pages were missing, but that did not seem to affect the Mark of Civilization much. One empty page after another was forged into the book.
The main frame of the book had long been completed. Thus, adding new pages wasn't a difficult task anymore. Su Yu alone could complete this job. With the addition of the new pages, the book grew even stronger.
One new golden stripe after another appeared. Prior to this, it was already near the level of a divine weapon. And by the time he forged the eight-hundredth page, it broke through with a rumble. Its advancement was much harder than the human lord's token.
Divine weapon.
It had finally reached that level with 145 golden stripes. Naturally, if the incomplete stripes were included, it had long reached a terrifying level. With this, it had officially become a divine weapon.
Instead of a heavenly reward, the advancement triggered a lightning tribulation. This was not the time to milk the heavenly laws so Su Yu ran into the Culture King's Residence instead of facing the tribulation head-on.
Before the white dog could react, Su Yu was gone again. He only entered shortly to run from the tribulation. In the past, this would be the perfect opportunity for him to milk the laws. But he was worried that doing it again would accelerate the opening of the Upper Realm.
***
Su Yu continued working on his book, spending quite a lot of time.
He was only done after seven days. Including the previous pages, the book now had 1,480 pages. As for the golden stripes, they had reached 155 in number.
It might already be a divine weapon, but the book was still not as powerful as the Heavenly Hunt Index. During the short time the Heavenly Hunt Index was completed back then, it had displayed around 170 or 180 golden stripes.
This was not the end of Su Yu's work on the book. Next, he took out a large number of treasures and started forging them into the book. Then, he started recording the various cultivation methods of the myriad races into his book.
At the same time, he was also consuming numerous corpses humanity had gathered from the recent wars with the book. Consuming the myriad races was no longer his main method of growing his book. But since these corpses were already around, he might as well use them.
For now, he aimed to turn all the fake daos in his book into an embryonic original dao. Su Yu had never stayed so long in the Emperor Yu's Court before. In the blink of an eye, only a few days were left in the year 352.
A new year would come alongside the New Domain Calendar in a few days.
