Chapter 2222: Fusing The Book Of Time (2)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

"Let's start." Su Yu said, "I won't personally partake in the kidnapping. I will only open the death tunnels to the different realms."

His connection to Xing Yue had been severed, but it didn't matter since Xing Yue was no longer a death spirit. As someone who had opened his very own life and death daos, he could easily traverse the worlds of the living and the dead.

The others nodded. With a wave of his hand, Su Yu summoned a clone with the powers of life and death balanced within it. "He will show you the way to the tunnels. Try to keep a low profile and prevent the myriad races from finding out too early. Focus on the three major races, but you can also try capturing those from the races with Venerables as well. As for the races without Venerables, they don't matter anymore."

South Heavenly King asked, "Do I go as well?"

"Let's do it together. All of you will go." Su Yu smiled, "Our world is too small. It's getting cramped with everyone stuck in here. A lot of you have been stuck in here since your resurrection. It's time for you to leave and take a look at the world outside."

Nobody protested.

Only powerhouses would enter this world. They had the ability to freely enter and leave the world. The regular people were still staying in the Celestial Chasm Realm. Before long, Wan Tiansheng departed with a group of people.

The new world was emptied, with only the imprisoned Heavenly Overseer Marquis remaining.

***

With everyone gone, Su Yu leaned back on his chair and sank into contemplation.

Not far away, Heavenly Overseer Marquis stared silently.

Suddenly, Su Yu took an item out. As the item floated before him, he hesitated.

Heavenly Overseer Marquis' expression changed as he exclaimed, "Did you send everyone away because you wish to fuse the Book of Time into this world? Su Yu, do you distrust even your own people?"

Was Su Yu trying to increase his strength in secret? But the powerhouses who had fused with his world would still be able to sense it, right?

Su Yu glanced at the marquis and said, "The more you know, the faster you die."

Heavenly Overseer Marquis shut his mouth.

Su Yu smiled and said, "What is there to distrust? But some things must be kept secret to remain a viable trump card. This is a treasure left behind by the Time Sage. It is the foundation of her dao. Similarly, this is the foundation of my rise."

Su Yu sighed and continued, "I truly want to keep it around. I wish to return it to the Time Sage when we meet. That was why I didn't use it during my creation. This book has provided me with the best support I could ask for during my rise. But now, I'm hesitating again. Should I break it and fuse it into my world?"

"Time Sage isnt dead. Breaking the Book of Time is tantamount to ruining her effort of many years."

Breaking the Book of Time was the same as severing Time Sage's path of creation. To speak the truth, this was something that could generate a blood feud with someone. But since Time Sage had thrown the book out, it was clear that she was ready to lose it.

Su Yu could actually break it. He had also asked Fat Ball about it, and Fat Ball had said that it wouldn't matter so long as he could save Culture King and Time Sage.

Su Yu would rarely hesitate like this. But today, he was hesitating. Would breaking this book fully sever Time Sage's path of creation? Sure, it was pointless to worry about something like that when her very survival was still questionable. But that didn't change the fact that Su Yu had the option of not breaking the book.

Suddenly, Heavenly Overseer Marquis laughed and said, "Emperor Yu, you have never been one to hesitate. This is merely an external object. Why are you hesitating because of it?"

He was feeling doubtful. Su Yu had always been fearless and decisive. Why would he hesitate here?

"You don't understand." Su Yu said, "I am not a good man. I am selfish, petty, cruel, and ruthless. But I dislike owing favors. By saving Time Sage and returning her book, our debt will be cleared.

"Her book secured my rise, while I saved her and returned her book. Our dealings will end there. But breaking the book might sever her dao. That is not a good thing to do. And..."

Su Yu's smile faded. "I'm not sure if she has an imprint left in the book. Will crushing the book kill her? Will it cause a sudden drop of her strength? What if she's in the middle of an intense battle? This might cause her death. I won't be able to explain myself if that happens."

That was why he was hesitating. He had no way of communicating with those behind the Heaven Gate. Previously, he had only entered through sheer coincidence. If he wanted to enter again, he had to try dying again.

Heavenly Overseer Marquis stared at Su Yu silently. It was very rare to see Su Yu so considerate. That was even more so since he was being considerate of someone who was essentially a stranger.

"Emperor Yu...you're a complicated person."

Heavenly Overseer Marquis remarked softly. At times, Su Yu was terrifyingly cold. But at times, he was excessively soft and indecisive. Logically, he shouldn't hesitate since breaking the Book of Time could increase his strength.

For some reason, he had been keeping the book around until now. He only started hesitating now that he was feeling the pressure for more strength.

"Someone who has attained his dao through the power of luck like you won't understand this." Su Yu smiled and rose from his seat. "I'm not hesitating anymore. I will be fusing the book into my world. It has already been decided. I wouldn't have sent the others away otherwise. I only said all that to test you."

Heavenly Overseer Marquis blinked. What?

Su Yu said, "Since you're still so calm, it means that there is no fortune attached to this book. Or perhaps you can't feel any fortune attached to this book. Time Sage is one of the core figures of the ancient imperial court. Since you're not reacting, it means that she will survive this. Very good. I can stop worrying."

"..."

Heavenly Overseer Marquis was stunned. This was truly unexpected. It was true that he hadn't sensed anything.

"Emperor Yu...why didn't you ask me directly?"

Su Yu chuckled, "Asking you? An enemy? Would you answer truthfully? What nonsense. I will never trust you. It is much better to observe your reaction with my own eyes. That is a lot more believable. Thanks for the help."

"..."

Heavenly Overseer Marquis felt like shouting at someone.

Su Yu was still as shameless as usual. He had been curious about the melancholy Su Yu was displaying earlier. But it was merely a trick. He only wanted to check if doing this would harm the Time Sage.

How shameless!

Why bother turning a simple question into something so overly complicated? Heavenly Overseer Marquis shut his eyes and ignored Su Yu. This guy would never stop being shameless. He would never fall for this ever again. So that was why Su Yu had talked to him about something so important.

Su Yu promptly discarded the marquis after making use of the guy. With a wave of his and, he summoned a cage around the marquis, preventing the marquis from seeing more. As far as he was concerned, Heavenly Overseer Marquis was nothing more than a luck detection tool for now.

There was no need for the marquis to know more. Heavenly Overseer Marquis rolled his eyes and tossed the matter out of his mind.

Whatever.

But inwardly, he couldn't help but wonder if Su Yu would really grow stronger after fusing with the Book of Time. That would definitely happen.

The correct question to ask was how much he could grow. In fact, Heavenly Overseer Marquis could vaguely sense Su Yu's strength. After all, Su Yu had yet to fully separate himself from the ancient past's heritage. In fact, Heavenly Overseer Marquis himself would grow from Su Yu's growth.

"Am I about to grow again?"

Heavenly Overseer Marquis was able to sense Su Yu's constant growth. That had resulted in his constant growth despite his imprisonment as well. In fact, he was already near the level of a Venerable.

"What a terrifying man."

Heavenly Overseer Marquis would only benefit slightly from Su Yu's growth. After all, Su Yu had created his own world, partially separating himself from the existing system of the Myriad Realms. Even so, that was enough to push Heavenly Overseer Marquis to such a high level.

***

Su Yu forgot about Heavenly Overseer Marquis.

Inside the human lord's token.

The Book of Time was flipping rapidly before him.

Page after page flipped open.

Iron-winged bird.

Mountainbreak bull.

Clearbright bird.

Suanni.

Mountaindrill bull.

Page after page appeared. All of them were filled with pictures and words. At his current strength, Su Yu was able to witness the full appearance of these pages. All the words were graceful and neat. They were completely different from Su Yu's writing. It was likely that the Time Sage had written these words personally.

Golden light erupted from the book.

In the past, the cover of the book looked empty to Su Yu. But today, he could see two indistinct characters on the cover.

"Cook Book."

Yes. This was a cookbook.

Su Yu had never paid much attention to the cover. After seeing the two characters, he rubbed his eyes and focused again. Yes. These were the characters on the cover. He rubbed his eyes again, but the characters did not change.

Su Yu was stunned. What was the meaning of this? A cookbook? What the fuck?

"What a...barbaric woman."

Su Yu shivered. Holy shit! Was this book a sort of recipe book? Even divines, devils, and immortals were included in the book. Were they food for her as well? That was too savage of her!

More importantly, even her own dog was in the book! Did she consider her dog food as well? Su Yu grimaced, feeling for the very first time how much of a savage Time Sage was. Book of Time? Myriad Art Catalog? No. Nope. Her name for her personal dao weapon was Cookbook.

Was it fair to assume that she never intended to be the so-called Time Sage? Instead, she wanted to be a cook.

"How creative."

Su Yu was greatly impressed. Someone aspiring to be a chef had somehow grown so impressive that she was lauded as the Time Sage. Truly inspiring.

Su Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He lamented, "So this is actually a cookbook. It should be fine for me to fuse with it since it's only a cookbook, right?"

He looked at the essence of his myriad daos before looking at the Book of Time again. Each page in the Book of Time was rather powerful. Time Sage herself was a peak powerhouse. It wasn't easy to gather all these pages, but she had spent quite a long time doing so. As a peak powerhouse who was also the little sister of Culture King, her was definitely not lacking in dao comprehension.

Strictly speaking, many of the daos in Su Yu's myriad daos were much weaker than Time Sage's myriad daos. There would be some waste when fusing the two, but for the most part, the similar daos would overlap and add onto each other.
