Chapter 2205: Su Yu's Fury (3)

Su Yu laughed, "Are you stupid? I'm going on a long trip. It's not a bad thing to have someone watch my home while I'm away, right? In any case, I'll be returning with Human Emperor. Who will be the boss then? I can't be bothered to trouble myself for something like that. I'm more interested in the powerhouses behind the gates."

Su Yu beamed with a childlike wonder as he said, "I would consider my life full if I could see the legendary beings behind those gates with my own eyes.

"Alright. We have a deal. Tell Hundred Battle that I'm not interested in fighting him over the Human Realm. Then again, it's not like he can hold it for long. I'll get Human Emperor and the others back soon. Human Emperor can take care of the Human Realm."

This wasn't a bad choice.

Su Yu continued, "We can always overthrow Human Emperor if he does a bad job at running the Human Realm."

Su Yu laughed, "These days, fist is king. When we're stronger than Human Emperor, he will be reduced to a mere employee. Am I right?"

South Suppression Marquis smiled as well, but soon, he sank into silence again. After a short while, he said, "Human Lord, His Majesty the Hundred Battle King wishes to say that we can eliminate the myriad races, but Control King's lineage must remain for now. He wishes to open the Hell Gate and summon Human Ancestor back."

"Hmm?" Su Yu blinked. "Is Human Ancestor...behind the Hell Gate?"

"Yes."

Su Yu nodded, "That's doable as well. How about this? We'll get Human Ancestor back before attacking the Hell Gate. Of course, we might need to eliminate the Masters of Laws of the myriad races before that to prevent anything unexpected from happening.

"We will work with the Human Emperor and defeat the myriad races before summoning Human Ancestor to defeat the chaos lineage together. We can do this step by step. Finally, we can go help Culture King and attack the Heaven Gate. I believe the Heaven Gate is the most dangerous of all."

That was Su Yu's suspicion. The Heaven Gate might be even more dangerous than the Hell Gate. Culture King seemed to be fleeing for his life behind the Heaven Gate. Meanwhile, the weaker Control King was seemingly doing quite well behind the Hell Gate.

Thus, they had to first attack the Hell Gate, eliminate the chaos and Control King, and get Human Ancestor back if he was there. Then, they could all join hands and attack the Heaven Gate. That would be the perfect arrangement, but of course, everything might not progress smoothly.

Listening to Su Yu, South Suppression Marquis could see that Su Yu had his plans. After a short silence, South Suppression Marquis said, "His Majesty the Hundred Battle King wishes to first summon Human Ancestor back before helping Human Emperor."

Su Yu was stunned to hear that. "Is he dumb? Summoning Human Ancestor first? Firstly, there is no guarantee that Human Ancestor is there. Secondly, the chaos beings will also be out alongside Human Ancestor. Thirdly, how strong is Human Ancestor? Fourthly, we might end up summoning Control instead of Human Ancestor. Is Hundred Battle going to shoulder the consequences?

"Fifthly, Human Ancestor belongs to the primordial past. We are inherited the heritage of the ancient past. Will Human Ancestor even want to save Human Emperor after he's out? He doesn't care about Culture King and the others.

"Sixthly, Human Ancestor has his own branch of humanity. They are the giants. Will he prioritize the giants or humanity after he's out? Is humanity supposed to play second fiddle for the giants after he's out?"

Su Yu laughed, "What is Hundred Battle thinking? Saving Human Emperor first will be the better choice. Eliminating the sinned lineage and sealing the Hell Gate will be the better choice. At the very least, we need to delay its opening until Human Emperor's return.

"In my opinion, I can first eliminate the sinned lineage. Hundred Battle can watch over the Hell Gate and kill anyone coming out of it. We will keep those beings inside. Do you think Hundred Battle will agree to this?"

South Suppression Marquis sank into silence.

Slowly, Su Yu's smile faded. "What is the meaning of this? Did Hundred Battle send you here...because he wants to first open the Hell Gate?"

South Suppression Marquis had a complicated expression as he answered, "Yes. That's his plan."

After a short pause, he continued, "That's not all. His Majesty also said that we shouldn't attack Control King's lineage. Yu Qing has a marker on her. That's the so-called chaos will. Killing her might cause the marker to fail. The Hell Gate won't be able to open any further for now."

"Therefore, Yu Qing must be kept alive. We only need to keep the pressure on her, forcing her to keep expanding the opening of the gate."

The look in Su Yu's eyes changed as he snapped, "Bullshit! Expanding the opening might release even more Masters of Laws from the gate. Is Hundred Battle going to fight them all when there are dozens of them out here?"

"His Majesty said that...Human Ancestor will fight!"

Su Yu cursed, "Fuck that! Human Ancestor? Even if Human Ancestor is in there, it has been so many years. He hasn't been attacking the chaos lineage. Control King's lineage wouldn't have done so well inside otherwise. The chaos lineage wouldn't have been able to keep plotting around the gate otherwise. That is absolute nonsense."

South Suppression Marquis pushed on, "His Majesty also said that Human Ancestor is our only hope."

"Fuck him!"

Su Yu cursed again.

"Did he really say that?"

"Yes."

"In short, he is placing all his hope on Human Ancestor?"

"Yes."

"He...no! This doesn't make sense!" Su Yu said, "How is that possible? How can he place all his hope on someone he never met? Is he stupid?

"Even if that's his direct ancestor, how many generations has it been? Does he know Human Ancestor's strength? Does he know Human Ancestor's current status? Does he know if Human Ancestor considers the current humanity his humanity? We know nothing about Human Ancestor!

"At the very least, we know more about Human Emperor. They are all blocking the way upstream. They have been fighting the myriad races all these years. At the very least, this proves his willingness to protect the current humanity."

That was very clear to see. Human Emperor and his people were willing to fight for the current humanity. From how they had fought for countless years, they deserved trust. But who really knew the Human Ancestor?

Su Yu found this so ridiculous that he started laughing. "South Suppression, this must be a joke, right?"

South Suppression Marquis lowered his head. "No. That is indeed His Majesty's plan. He hopes that you won't attack Control King's lineage. He will act and give them sufficient pressure. You only need to focus on the myriad races."

"Are you sure about that?"

"Yes." South Suppression Marquis did not dare to meet Su Yu's gaze as he continued, "Also, His Majesty might stop you if you insist on attacking Control King's lineage."

Su Yu gave the marquis a deep gaze and said, "Something feels wrong about you. Did you betray humanity? Are you here to trigger a war between Hundred Battle and me?"

Why did it feel like South Suppression Marquis' words were meant to sow discord between him and Hundred Battle King? Were these really Hundred Battle King's words?

South Suppression Marquis declared, "I have never betrayed humanity! Never! At present, His Majesty has eight Venerables under him, including Thunderstorm. Among them, Blood Shadow and Redmoon lean toward humanity. Evergreen and Extreme Martial are only loyal toward His Majesty. Longbrow...has been prejudiced against you. Riversea and Mountainsea are quite hostile toward you as well."

Su Yu looked at him with surprise.

South Suppression Marquis kept his head lowered as he continued, "I don't know...which is the better path. But you stand with Human Emperor while His Majesty stands with Human Ancestor. As for how protective the two sides are toward humanity...I am perhaps...biased.

"Among those following His Majesty, there is also a group of people who are loyal to humanity. But back then, we had no choice but to avoid the battle. Otherwise, more would have died back then.

"Southbrook and a few other ancient marquises care more about humanity. They only stood with His Majesty because they saw more hope from him.

"I have never betrayed humanity. But...I did choose to follow His Majesty back then. Since a choice has been made, I will fight for him. If a day comes when we meet on the battlefield, there is no need for you to hold back against me. His Majesty's mind is set. He won't change it because of new variables.

"Longbrow...is perhaps merely a spokesperson of His Majesty."

At that point, South Suppression Marquis left a ball of light on the ground before taking several steps back. He bowed deeply and said with a complicated tone, "I don't know which is the better plan. But your plan is in line with what I wish to happen. I don't know Human Ancestor. I don't know how strong he is. But I know both Human Emperor and Emperor Yu are fighting for humanity. Without stop! I only hope that...things will be better for humanity."

Then, he turned and flew off, cutting a bleak figure in the sky. He did not know if he was right or wrong. He did not know if he had betrayed Hundred Battle King by doing this. He only knew that he was following his heart. He only wanted humanity to prosper.

He had never betrayed humanity! That had always been the case! Humanity had always been all he fought for.

He had said everything Hundred Battle King wanted him to say. But he had also made it clear that Hundred Battle King would not change his mind, informing Su Yu to make his preparations for it. He allowed Su Yu to know that persisting on this path would lead to a clash.

Su Yu had an unsightly expression. There was no salvaging this. South Suppression Marquis wouldn't have behaved in this manner otherwise. He wouldn't have been so decisive either.

That ball of light he left on the ground was death qi. Clearly, South Suppression Marquis was worried that Hundred Battle King would attack Su Yu's base of operations through that ball of death qi.

After a short while, his overcast voice rang out, "Lan Tian, investigate Hundred Battle's faction and verify South Suppression's words."

It wasn't that South Suppression Marquis couldn't be trusted, but he couldn't fully trust the words of a single person.

Su Yu was no brute. He wouldn't allow anyone to trigger a war between him and Hundred Battle King for no good reason. Their enemies would be the ones to benefit from such a clash.

But if South Suppression Marquis was speaking the truth...

Instantly, killing intent erupted from Su Yu's eyes. "If he insists on ruining my plan, I won't hold back."

What nonsense was that?

Opening the Hell Gate first?

What was Hundred Battle King thinking?

Su Yu did not need Hundred Battle King's help, but he wouldn't allow Hundred Battle King to get in his way either. Otherwise, he would fight. It didn't matter how strong Hundred Battle King was.

Su Yu was radiating so much killing intent that even the impatient Martial Emperor was waiting silently to the side. He had to be honest and admit that when Su Yu raged, even he would feel slightly fearful.

Su Yu's previous good mood was gone. Martial Emperor was growing impatient, but he did not dare to urge Su Yu on. He was worried that Su Yu's anger would be vented on him instead.
