Chapter 2045: Meeting Again (2)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Fate Pseudo Emperor smiled and said, "For that, the petrification method is required. Back then, Devote King's petrification method was very good at resisting death qi. Just look at how those guardians lasted a hundred thousand years without turning into death spirits."

Su Yu blanked out. The petrification method. Right! And...that was something he could replicate now. Qi Rong. Even a fake dao heavenly king was still a heavenly king. He did not even need something that could last a hundred thousand years. He only needed something to last a few hundred years. Or just lasting decades would be enough.

"Laying a layer of petrified barrier around the realm..."

As Su Yu muttered, Fate Pseudo Emperor shook his head, "There is no need for that. Just apply the petrified barrier on the weak points of the realm barrier. The Celestial Chasm Realm itself is powerful enough to resist a considerable amount of the erosion."

Su Yu nodded. That was true, but it wouldn't hurt to do more.

Qi Rong.

Su Yu did not know the petrification method. At that thought, he released Qi Rong. Beside him, Fate Pseudo Emperor's face twitched.

Didn't this guy claim that he had lost all his subordinates?

What about this heavenly king here?

Damn him!

A liar through and through!

Su Yu explained, "I picked this fellow up on the streets. This is Royal Consort Qi Rong. Do you know her?"

"Royal Consort Qi?" Fate Pseudo Emperor blanked out slightly. As Qi Rong had been regrowing more and more of her flesh, Fate Pseudo Emperor was faced with a slightly familiar face when he looked at her. He exclaimed in surprise, "Royal Consort Qi...are you not dead?"

"Fateless?" Qi Rong looked surprised as well. When she looked around, she asked with a strange expression, "Where are we?"

"Celestial Chasm Realm." Su Yu explained, "After my massive defeat in the Upper Realm, I am withdrawing into the Death Realm. I intend to do this by sinking the Celestial Chasm Realm into the Death Realm, but I'm worried about death qi erosion. Royal Consort Qi, how different is your petrification method from Devote King's?"

Qi Rong had countless questions, but she asked nothing. Instead, she answered, "Let me put it this way. The difference between our petrification methods is the same as the difference between real and fake daos. I can swallow Devote King whole."

Fate Pseudo Emperor's face twitched. Why did...that sound wrong?

Qi Rong looked around before nodding, "That is doable, but I'm not a Master of Law. My petrification won't last for long. The petrification must be reinforced every three to five hundred years."

Su Yu smiled, "That's more than enough."

The skeletal figure he had picked up was proving to be quite useful. Her petrification method was clearly quite formidable.

"In that case, let's work on sinking the realm for now. We will make this realm a part of the Death Realm, seal the entrances, move the thirty-six ancient cities over, and rebuild this realm..."

Su Yu continued, "By the way, will the connection to the Myriad Realms be severed after fully sinking this place into the Death Realm? Without any connection to the myriad daos, the restrictive force of this realm should be removed, right?"

Su Yu sank into thought as he muttered, "It won't be appropriate for this place to maintain its suppressive force. After all, more than one race might move here. The human race will be fine, but the other races won't feel comfortable staying here with the suppressive force."

But according to his judgment, the influence of the myriad daos should be severed by sinking the realm. The suppressive force of the various realms was actually related to the creators of those realms. After sinking this realm into the Death Realm, the influence of the creator should disperse.

Fate Pseudo Emperor nodded, "That should be the case. Take the death spirits, for example. The death spirits of various races can exist in the Death Realm without being affected by any suppressive force. After all, there is only one dao in the Death Realm."

He hesitated slightly and asked, "Emperor Yu, how can the others continue cultivating in the Death Realm? This will be quite a thorny issue. Those beneath the Eternal Realm can continue cultivating with source qi. But those at the Eternal Realm and above need to comprehend the dao when cultivating."

This was a troublesome issue for Su Yu as well. After thinking about it, his eyes flickered as he said, "We'll leave a small hole open. Yes, we can learn from the Human Emperor and link a tiny part of the River of Time with this realm through a small hole."

Everyone felt like he was speaking nonsense.

Grand Dream asked, "Is that...even possible?"

Was something like that doable?

Qi Rong was greatly shocked to hear that as well. Was that really possible?

Su Yu nodded, "It should be possible if we can find a suitable spot to create the hole. Of course, I'll need to have the ability to actually puncture the River of Time to do this. That won't be easy."

In short, he had to dig a hole in the River of Time. That was different from dao pioneering. Dao pioneering was the act of creating a tributary containing only one dao. Meanwhile, he had to dig a hole that could accommodate the myriad daos.

Su Yu rubbed his chin and said, "I also need a way to stabilize the hole. I can't allow the hole to enlarge uncontrollably. That might result in the collapse of this realm before a revert back into the primal chaos. The hole must be managed, or to be precise, I need to create a tributary of sorts capable of accommodating the myriad daos. That is the true difficulty of this task."

Everyone gasped in shock. They all frowned. Indeed. That was the hardest part of their entire plan.

Su Yu's eyes flickered as he continued muttering, "Wait, this is actually a good method to cultivate and comprehend the dao. This is a way to truly interact with the myriad daos. Of course, it is also a dangerous thing to do.

"Thankfully, I have Xing Yu's token with me, so I should be able to keep things under control. Also, I don't need to go crazy like Human Emperor and dig a massive hole. I also don't need to dig a hole as big as the one dug by the master of the death spirit dao."

The master of the death spirit dao had dug a hole as big as a millstone in the River of Time. As for Human Emperor, he had dug a hole as big as a pond. Su Yu was not as ambitious. He only needed a hole as big as a bowl. That should be enough to accommodate the cultivation needs of his followers for some time.

In fact, that should last until his followers grew strong enough to produce even Masters of Laws. But at that point, he could already push his way back into the world of the living.

"Since the myriad daos will pass through that hole, I'll need to manage every single one of them and stabilize the flow. This is indeed a great opportunity to study the myriad daos."

Su Yu muttered, "Thus, I might allow some people to join me in this endeavor."

"..."

Everyone was rendered speechless. Truly...brazen.

Fate Pseudo Emperor asked, "Is that really possible? We have all interacted with the River of Time before. We can't see it as clearly as you, but just submerging to the bottom of the river is already an incredibly difficult task. It's something few can do."

Su Yu said, "I can stabilize it temporarily with the Book of Time and Xing Yu's token. I will worry about that. The rest of you only need to do something simple. I will dig the hole and release the water in the river. You will wait on the other side and manage the water for me. Make sure the various daos remain separate or they will all revert back into chaos."

Fate Pseudo Emperor sighed and said, "Is this a sort of gift for us?"

They only needed to stay outside and manage the daos. He had to admit that at times, Su Yu was incredibly generous. He would stay in the river while the rest would stay outside. The danger he would need to face was far greater than what they would face.

Su Yu smiled, "Don't overthink it. Even your task will be extremely difficult. Managing daos is not a simple task. You need someone capable of managing the overall process, someone like Lan Tian..."

At that, Su Yu tossed a little girl out. The girl stared at Su Yu grudgingly and said, "Big Brother Yu, it will be over for me if I explode one more time."

Once again, Fate Pseudo Emperor's face twitched.

Fuck!

Lan Tian?

Sure enough, Su Yu was uttering nonsense when he claimed that he had lost all his people.

But Lan Tian was alive and well here.

Yes, this was a pitifully weak Lan Tian, a body only at the Sunmoon Realm. But this wasn't a corpse. He was still alive.

Su Yu said, "Don't worry. This is the perfect chance for you to recover. I will be digging a hole in the River of Time, and you will be catching the water from the outside. You can take this chance to take some of the dao power for yourself and grow your all-life dao. This will help you recover rapidly.

"I will think of a way to fish Old Wan out of the river as well. He is the holder of the human dao, the dao of emotions. If he takes this chance to comprehend the myriad daos while reorganizing his own dao, he might be able to recover rapidly as well."

"..."

Fate Pseudo Emperor was now expressionless. He only wanted to ask one question. So who had died for real? He didn't even want to ask who the survivors were anymore. He knew that the number of survivors would definitely be high. He only wanted to know the number of those who had died.

At that moment, Su Yu rubbed his chin and muttered, "Wait, if I have everyone manage the myriad daos while I dig the hole, everyone can take this chance to recover while comprehending the myriad daos. Without their bodies, they can avoid the physical body dao and comprehend the daos truly compatible with them. This is actually a good thing. They won't be dragged down by the physical body dao anymore."

The influence of the physical body dao was too great. For example, Great Qin King and Great Xia King cultivated the spear and the saber. However, they had ultimately gravitated toward the physical dao. Thus, losing their bodies might actually be good for them.

Of course, this wasn't something an ordinary person would want to do. Destroying their bodies to comprehend the daos? These people had cultivated their bodies for countless years. Who would be willing to sacrifice their bodies?

Only the truly crazy ones.

The price was too high, and there was no guarantee that they would gain anything from it.

Lan Tian grinned and said, "Digging a hole? That's so fun! I want to dig as well!"

"Dig your ass!" Su Yu rolled his eyes and said, "With your current strength, a dip into the river is enough to kill you."

Su Yu was different. He had two ultimate treasures to protect himself while submerged in the river. Anyone else, even a Venerable, would probably die not long after submerging into the river.

Next, Su Yu beamed and said, "If everything goes smoothly, everyone will be able to make massive gains in their dao comprehension from this. If I allow them to study the dao painting again after this, they can grow further."

"Unfortunately..." Su Yu frowned and said, "This will make recovering their bodies hard. No, they can still recover, but their new bodies won't be as strong anymore. Any top expert will have a powerful body even without the physical body dao. After all, the body is the carrier of their cultivation. However, the power of the physical body dao is required to recover their bodies quickly."

Su Yu cursed, "Damn that Hundred Battle fucker for monopolizing the physical body dao. With him around, we won't be able to gather much power from the physical body dao. It won't be easy to recover your bodies."

Finally, Fate Pseudo Emperor lost patience and asked, "Emperor Yu, are you saying that...only the bodies are dead, but everyone is still around in their seas of willpower?"
