Chapter 2259: You Need To Trust Me (2)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Su Yu merely watched as Martial Emperor departed. He did not bother to stop Martial Emperor. After taking a glance at the physical body, he took his crown off and dragged the body into the crown with a wave of his hand. Then, the crown vanished with a flicker, becoming one with the world again.

Only then did Great Zhou King exhale in relief. Then, he roared, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, for pacifying the Myriad Realms! Glory to Emperor Yu's Court!"

His voice spread everywhere.

A total victory.

With Martial Emperor's surrender and Zhou Ji's departure, Su Yu had won. The chaotic war that had raged for a hundred thousand years was finally over. It had been ended by Su Yu. More danger might be awaiting them in the future, but there was no denying that Su Yu had indeed pacified the Myriad Realms.

He had achieved what nine human lords had failed. Cheers rang out as hundreds of powerhouses roared.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on your conquest!"

"Congratulations!"

One person roared after another.

The senior powerhouses, in particular, were crying tears of joy.

Victory!

After a hundred thousand years, they had finally secured victory in Su Yu's epoch. A total victory. The myriad races had been pacified. Hundred Battle King had been killed. Zhou Ji had been suppressed. Martial Emperor had been recruited.

The death spirits had submitted. The Myriad Realms had submitted. One could even argue that Su Yu's achievement had reached a level of glory that was comparable to even Human Emperor's glory.

Human Emperor might be stronger, but those of this era were weaker because of the limitations of the era itself. As a whole, though, they weren't in a much better position than their predecessors. And yet it had only taken Su Yu four years to pacify the Myriad Realms. With such a glorious accomplishment, the New Domain Era was finally firmly established.

"Victory..."

Su Yu was smiling as well. Indeed, it was a victory, even if this was only an initial victory. However, there was no denying that as of this moment, he was the most powerful person in the Myriad Realms.

Within his world, the power of fortune roiled as the fortune from various sources, such as Zhou Ji, Heavenly Overseer Marquis, Su Yu himself, and the new fortune generated after Martial Emperor surrendered, mixed together.

The power of fortune roiled, and finally, Heavenly Overseer Marquis reappeared in the sky under everyone's shocked gaze.

Did he...resurrect?

Su Yu merely gazed at Heavenly Overseer Marquis from afar with indifference. Heavenly Overseer Marquis had a complicated expression as Su Yu asked nonchalantly, "So even you fear death? Have you opted to surrender to preserve your life like Martial Emperor?"

Heavenly Overseer Marquis bowed and said, "I only...wish to witness another miracle."

"Why bother finding excuses for your choice? Own it." Su Yu said indifferently, "You were originally a luck spirit. And now, you have returned due to the fortune in my world. Culture King loves leaving out the whole truth when doing things. Thus, he hid the full truth from you. I am different. I don't care for that. It doesn't matter to me. You should know that after becoming the luck spirit of my world, you will grow alongside me. But I will also suffer a slight backlash from your death."

Heavenly Overseer Marquis kept his head lowered and said nothing.

Su Yu continued, "I should have erased your memory. I should have prevented your return. But I have full confidence in myself. Luck can help, but I won't rely on it as my crutch. You know a lot, so keeping your memories might not be a bad thing. At the very least, you know what and who you should fear."

He knew enough to know fear. Ignorance would only grant him the courage to rebel.

Su Yu said coldly, "You may continue living in this world. You are not to leave this world without my permission. Martial Emperor can leave, but you don't. If you dare leave, I will erase your existence."

"I wouldn't dare."

With his head lowered, Heavenly Overseer Marquis vanished with a flicker.

Then, Su Yu regarded his people and smiled. "Everything has proceeded smoothly. It's our victory."

A total victory. In one battle, they had pacified the Myriad Realms without paying much price.

But next, Su Yu turned grave as he continued, "However, this victory is temporary. The Hell Gate is yet to be sealed. Human Emperor and the others have yet to return. The myriad races have merely departed, not died. Zhou Ji and her mother are gone, but not dead as well. Martial Emperor isn't exactly loyal to us. We still have a lot of work ahead of us.

"You can rejoice in this victory, but remember. This is merely the beginning. Harder battles are waiting for us in the future."

Su Yu's solemn and imposing voice spread everywhere, reaching even the Lower Realm.

"It's our victory. But this is merely a minor victory. It is worthy of celebration. But don't forget that we still have a long way to go.

"Everyone, I have no way of knowing what will happen in the future. But I can promise that so long as I am still around, I will continue leading all of you and killing all our enemies. Those who dare to stand against us will have their lineage exterminated, their roots severed, and their soul vanquished.

"Whether it is the Myriad Realms and the chaos, I aim to remain unrivalled. I will be unrivalled. We will be unrivalled. To be unrivalled is to have no enemy left standing."

After a short pause, deafening roars rang out.

"Unrivaled!"

"Unrivaled!"

Humanity would produce yet another unrivaled emperor.

A new emperor.

Only then did a smile form on Su Yu's face. The world shook as even more fortune entered Su Yu's world. With a wave of Su Yu's hand, a bamboo stick appeared in his hand. At that, the solemn atmosphere vanished instantly.

Heavendoom rushed into the sky before a bamboo stick assaulted him from behind, knocking him unconscious.

With a bamboo stick in his hand, Great Bamboo Marquis looked at Su Yu with an innocent smile and said, "Oh...that was an accident. Why is he so fragile?"

The iron devourers had decided to first eliminate the external competition.

Next, March's voice rang out, "Your Majesty, I am already a Venerable, but my grandpa isn't dead..."

How sad.

"As a result, I failed to become a Master of Law. At the same time, many of the daos in Your Majesty's world will be wasted on me. I believe I should pursue the dao of bamboo stick instead! Your Majesty, I will definitely grow into one of your strongest followers with this dao! With my strength, I will conquer your enemies for you!"

With the same innocent smile on his face, Great Bamboo Marquis said, "Your Majesty, March cultivates the body forging dao. He's closer to the physical body dao. I am different. I have always been a cultivator of the bamboo dao. In my opinion, that bamboo stick is basically perfect for me. I was originally a heavenly king, and even now, I'm not weaker than March. Your Majesty, I am the perfect person to receive this bamboo stick dao."

Further away, September mustered his courage and shouted, "Your Majesty, I know that I cultivate the devour dao. But I use a bamboo stick as my chosen weapon as well! A bamboo stick is a weapon, why make it a dao?"

It felt as though a civil war was on the verge of breaking out among the iron devourers.

That bamboo stick was a precious treasure. It was the dao weapon of Human Ancestor. Ignoring everything about him, nobody would deny that Human Ancestor was extremely strong. That much was apparent from the vision Su Yu saw earlier.

Now that the battle was over, it was time for the gains to be split. And this bamboo stick was the biggest gain this time. Furthermore, very few of them were actually suited for the bamboo stick. The iron devourers were indeed suitable recipients, and Heavendoom was somewhat suitable for it as well.

As for the others, they weren't bothered to fight over it. Sure, the bamboo stick would still be useful in their hands, but it would be a waste as they might fail to maximize the potential of the bamboo stick.

Right at that moment, Heavendoom's eyes snapped open. After letting out a string of curses, he howled, "Your Majesty, I am your most loyal subordinate! I was the first to fight an Eternal for you way back then!"

Had he forgotten? Wait, even if he wasn't the very first, he was definitely among the earliest batch! Su Yu shouldn't forget him!

Su Yu laughed at the antics of all these people. The previous grave atmosphere was nowhere to be seen. Meeting their expectant gazes, he said, "This item is indeed a precious treasure. But it's not suited for everyone. In fact, the wielder might be subjected to the burden of a certain karma. Karma with Human Ancestor himself.

"If I’m guessing correctly, Human Ancestor is someone I will definitely encounter in the future. A supreme powerhouse like this is most likely not dead. Anyone with a karmic entanglement with him will encounter him sooner or later. When he learns that you have fused with his dao weapon...your karmic entanglement will grow deeper..."

Everyone gasped.

Human Ancestor. That was an incredibly terrifying entity.

Su Yu laughed, "Are you scared?"

Heavendoom roared unyieldingly, "NO! He will die in Your Majesty's hands anyway!"

Su Yu chuckled, "Nonsense. Are you so certain that Human Ancestor is a bad guy? Don't let Yu and Hundred Battle mislead you. Nobody knows if the plan to summon Human Ancestor back is a one-sided affair on their side. No matter what, Human Ancestor was the leader who had brought glory to humanity during the primordial past. He might not care for their plan. He might even enjoy his life behind the gate. Who knows?"

"As for whether I'll kill him, that is a decision I'll make after actually meeting him." Su Yu said, "How about this? Heavendoom, March, and Great Bamboo. September, forget about it. The three I mentioned will compete. The one to master their dao and becomes a Master of Law in my world first will receive the bamboo stick. I will help fuse the bamboo stick into the dao of the winner."

At that, Heavendoom grimaced and complained, "March is a Venerable..."

How was he supposed to compete against a Venerable?

As a Venerable, it might not take March too long to master his dao. Furthermore, he had also picked a body forging dao in Su Yu's world. As for Great Bamboo, he picked the bamboo transformation dao, while Heavendoom picked the staff dao.

Heavendoom was still a heavenly king. He could compete against Great Bamboo, but how was he supposed to compete against March? Hearing Su Yu's words, a wide smile bloomed on March's face. With this arrangement, the bamboo stick was as good as his!

Su Yu chuckled and said, "Dao comprehension does not rely on your strength. It relies on your brain. With a good enough brain, even mastering a dao in one day is possible. Inspiration can strike at any time. You never know."

Fine.

Heavendoom could only accept the arrangement. What else could he do? No matter what, having a chance was better than having no chance.

Su Yu said, "Apart from the bamboo stick, I also have the chaos will."

The chaos dragon and eight-winged tiger nearly salivated as they waited expectantly. That should be theirs, right? It wasn't like Su Yu had anyone else under him capable of making use of the chaos will. They had joined the previous battle as well. They should qualify for a reward, right?

Su Yu smiled and said, "I still have use for it. I'll use it to summon a few chaos beasts out of the gate before killing them and feeding them to my world. Of course, I won't lure too many over. It's not like the chaos beasts in there are really so dumb. A few fearless ones might come, but I'm not asking for much. After killing a few of them, the tea plant can have half the chaos will, and the other half..."

Su Yu looked at the chaos dragon and eight-winged tiger. "Your stance is unknown. Your thoughts are unknown as well. You might have fought for me, but you only did that under my coercion. However, I always return my debt. The two of you can have the other half. If that's enough for you to break through, good. If not, it's not my problem."

The eight-winged tiger hurriedly said, "Thank you, Emperor Yu!"

This was good enough. They could potentially break through even with only half the chaos will. Anything was better than nothing.

Su Yu said, "As for the ones who had advanced into Masters of Laws earlier, I believe you can all return to the same level soon. As for the ones still stuck, cultivate and aim to break through as soon as possible.

"My world has grown considerably. You can now display nearly eighty percent of your strength outside my world. This is a massive improvement as before this, your strength outside my world will be cut in half.

"This is our victory, but we're still in a rush. According to my prediction, Human Emperor and the others will likely return in around one year. And waiting passively might not be a good idea.

"Based on the speed with which they are drifting downstream, their return might result in intense fluctuations in the river. The fluctuations might cause the Hell Gate, the Heaven Gate, and even the unknown Human Gate to swing open. That will be a massive disaster.

"Therefore, we need to go upstream to help them before our time is up. I won't wait until the last moment before going upstream. That is too risky as any delay while we're upstream might throw everything into chaos.

"I intend to go upstream in three or maybe five months. We need to give ourselves additional time as we won't be able to win immediately after arriving. The myriad races have a lot of Masters of Laws. Right now, they aren't fighting to the death because they're waiting for their return. But our arrival might trigger the final battle in advance."

"Do we have enough strength to participate in such a battle?" Su Yu shook his head. "No. Our strength is far from enough. Even according to the standards at the end of the ancient past, I will only be a tier-three Master of Law outside my world. Martial Emperor can grow into the second tier after his advancement, but we can't really rely on him.

"As for the rest of you, at best, you will be around tier four or five after leaving my world. Meaningful growth with the time we have is unrealistic. Thus, we can only rely on quantity instead of quality. As long as we have enough Masters of Laws, we can keep some of the enemies busy, allowing some of our powerful allies to deal with the truly powerful enemies instead of wasting their efforts on the weaker enemies."
