Chapter 2300: Su Yu Meets Human Emperor (1)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

"Human Emperor is coming."

Su Yu was waiting for Human Emperor's arrival. He was actually looking forward to meeting this legendary figure. He wondered about the first impression he would get from Human Emperor.

Would Human Emperor be strict?

Domineering?

Refined?

Shrewd?

Or something else?

Behind Su Yu, a bunch of people waited expectantly as well, including the ancient marquises. During the ancient past, they ranked too low to see Human Emperor frequently. This was similar to how the Sunmoons in Su Yu's camp would rarely see Su Yu.

For people like Wan Tiansheng, Su Yu was someone they could meet frequently. But Su Yu had long stopped managing those a level below. Even Wan Tiansheng was waiting expectantly.

Martial Emperor seemed to be the sole exception here. He seemed slightly uncomfortable. He was worried that Human Emperor would pick a fight with him. At that thought, he glanced at Su Yu. Su Yu had promised to handle Human Emperor and Culture King for him. That had better be the case here.

Truthfully, Martial Emperor was quite fearful of Human Emperor. Meanwhile, Su Yu wasn't worried about that. It was likely that Human Emperor wouldn't be in the mood to do anything about Martial Emperor.

And finally, Su Yu sensed Battle King's aura.

He was back.

No other auras could be sensed, but Su Yu wasn't surprised. It was highly possible that Human Emperor wouldn't be able to come in his main body or even his projection. It was likely that only a minor clone would be sent here.

Behind, Heavendoom transmitted, "Your Majesty, do we give them a beating to establish our dominance again?"

Su Yu waved that off.

Doing it once against Battle King was enough. They only needed to showcase their strength. There was no need for them to do it again.

Ahead of them.

Suddenly, two figures manifested before Battle King. One was clad in golden robes with a crown on his head. He looked rather formal. The other was clad in luxurious robes, looking nouveau riche. Su Yu had never seen them before, but it was easy enough for him to guess that the two were Human Emperor and Radiant King. He did not even need to feel their auras. He only needed to see the presence around them.

He strode forth to meet them. A smile bloomed on his face.

Even from afar, he flashed them his winning smile and spoke with a gentle and refined tone, "Junior Su Yu, greets His Imperial Majesty the Human Emperor, Senior Radiant King, and Senior Battle King."

They were still a kilometer away from each other, but Su Yu was already bowing at them. Human Emperor also hastened his steps as he chortled, "You are too polite, Human Lord Su. As a leader of humanity, there is no need for you to bow..."

"Not at all. Human Emperor is the role model of all humans. Your Imperial Majesty is the person I respect most in life..."

Su Yu professed his adoration toward Human Emperor solemnly. When he looked at Human Emperor's face, the face was somewhat illusory, rendering it impossible for him to see the real appearance of Human Emperor. Even so, he could see the dignified bearing of this ancient emperor.

Human Emperor had a square face, and he had a beard of medium length. His eyes seemed rather empty. This was unlikely to be how his eyes looked on his main body. This was understandable, as these were the eyes of a clone of a clone.

The Human Emperor walked with both the noble bearing of an emperor and the firmness of a general.

At times, first impression was very important.

Human Emperor laughed again and reached out, as though to stop Su Yu from bowing. "What manner of a role model can I be? You jest. I have heard of you long ago. Tenth human lord, Su Yu, and a Creator. Well done. Truly impressive!"

Next, Human Emperor swept his gaze over the group behind Su Yu and laughed, "Well done, all of you. After so many years, I can see that some of my old friends have also grown into Masters of Laws. I can see many familiar faces here. Giant Axe, Redmoon, Extreme Martial, March, Spacebreak..."

These people were all quite arrogant earlier, but when they were truly in the presence of the Human Emperor, they all bowed hastily with excitement and nervousness.

Human Emperor!

Su Yu had quite an imposing presence as well, but compared to a legend who had dominated the ancient past for tens of thousands of years, he was still quite lacking. Martial Emperor had the courage to talk back to Su Yu every now and then. But in Human Emperor's presence, he felt extremely uneasy.

Human Emperor said nothing. He didn't even spare Martial Emperor a glance. Before long, he was helping Su Yu up with a smile, "How fortunate. How fortunate that Human Lord Su has arrived with help at the final moment. This is a blessing to humanity, our allied races,and all life.

"I can't come in my main body, so I can only send a clone here. This is rude, so please excuse me for that. Since everyone is here, it is only natural that I welcome everyone with a proper feast."

Su Yu laughed, "You're too polite, Human Emperor. This is no big deal. We're here to handle the threat of the myriad races."

"There is no rush." Human Emperor said, "The myriad races...are mere bugs."

Good heavens. How cocky. How was he still so cocky in his current state?

Seemingly having guessed Su Yu's thought, Human Emperor smiled and said, "I'm quite old, so I can refer to myself as an old man before you. This old man might have spent countless years tangled with the myriad races. I paid a large price for that. But that does not change the fact that the myriad races are bugs.

"In terms of absolute strength, they aren't lacking. But they lack the ability to properly utilize that strength. Their disunity is too great. Even when they are multiple times stronger than us, they lack the courage to fight us in a decisive battle. Instead, they have been waiting. Are they really a threat?"

Despite the fact that the myriad races were enemies he had spent countless years facing, this was his assessment of their threat level. Was this his attempt at saving face? No. Even in his current state, he still looked down on them.

Human Emperor declared with full confidence, "The myriad races are no big threat to us. Yes, they are strong. Yes, they are difficult opponents. But difficulty does not signify threat. For example, if you were three, and a kid at ten bullied you, would that kid be an actual serious threat?"

Su Yu laughed.

Even now, a faction with over a hundred Masters of Laws was still not a threat to the Human Emperor. Truly an impressive personage.

But yet...he had lost.

No, to be precise, he was stuck.

"Yet even bugs can kill." Su Yu said, "They only lack efficiency. But if there's one thing I know about them, they will be able to quickly achieve unity when encountering true danger. A prominent individual will be selected to lead them. Thus, the myriad races are akin to a spring. The stronger you push them, the stronger they will resist."

They shouldn't overestimate the myriad races, but they shouldn't underestimate the myriad races either. They were capable of growing stronger the more dangerous the situation became. Su Yu's previous experience with the myriad races was the perfect demonstration of that.

One ought to remember that the myriad races had grown stronger after spending so many years in conflict against Human Emperor. Thus, Su Yu believed that these words were only meant to comfort him.

But words were pointless. Actual strength mattered more. Yes, a three-year-old could shout all he wanted that the kid bullying him was older and it was unfair. But so what? It wouldn't change the fact that a ten-year-old was stronger than a three-year-old.

Human Emperor laughed again and said, "Well said. Never underestimate your opponent. You can't go wrong with this. I was worried that you would underestimate our enemies due to your youth and your victories in the Myriad Realms. I now understand that I was wrong."

Su Yu smiled and said, "Your Imperial Majesty, just call me Su Yu. In your presence, only the Human Emperor is worthy of being the lord of humanity. I am no human lord before you."

"You jest." Human Emperor sighed and said, "The future belongs to youngsters like you. We're old. I'm old."

His emotions seemed to be rather complicated as he said, "You're young and driven. You have a bright future ahead of you. Before long, I'll be needing your favor to look after those old brothers of mine."

Su Yu raised his brow, "You're being too polite, Human Emperor."

"No." Human Emperor looked at Radiant King, who was standing there with a smile. After giving Radiant King's shoulder a pat, he said, "You can interact more with Radiant King. He has been the one handling most of the affairs here over the years. He is familiar with all our old brothers. He's also in charge of all our logistics and administrative affairs. He's perfect in every aspect except for one little matter. He has a tendency of failing in critical moments."

Human Emperor chuckled and continued, "Otherwise, I would have handed everything here to him long ago."

Perhaps only Su Yu and Radiant King understood the actual meaning behind those words. Hearing those words, Su Yu suspected that Radiant King was aware of Human Emperor's actual status.

Did Human Emperor deduce that Su Yu knew the truth as well? Was that why he was speaking as if...he was leaving his will behind? Radiant King remained smiling all along without saying anything. He swept his gaze over Su Yu smoothly, taking the chance to further observe Su Yu.

Su Yu grinned and said, "You're truly being too polite, Human Emperor. I'm prepared to follow your orders here. I might be young, but I'm quite straightforward. I don't ask for much. I only want my people not to be treated as cannon fodder. We're willing to follow your arrangement here.

"I know too little about the myriad races. I don't know their strength. I'm not familiar with their tactics. I don't even understand their style. In a war, information is exceptionally important. I know nothing about this battlefield. Thus, I'll need to rely on the seniors here."

Su Yu was surprisingly modest as he said, "Therefore, we will be following all your arrangements moving forward, Human Emperor."

"Hahaha, Little Brother Su is truly too humble."

"..."

Everyone blinked. This...was inappropriate! Why was an old man over a hundred thousand years in age calling Su Yu his little brother? Even Su Yu felt somewhat awkward hearing that. He understood that this was a way to bring them closer, but there were many ways Human Emperor could go about this, right?

Next, even Human Emperor laughed in amusement. Looking at the people behind Su Yu, he lamented, "I'm in such a good mood that I forget about propriety. I'm very happy to see all of you here."

As of this moment, Human Emperor seemed a lot more sincere than before as he sighed and said, "You are far better than I imagined."

Su Yu asked doubtfully, "So how do I look in your imagination?"

"Hmm...conceited? Arrogant? Contempt toward the world?"

Human Emperor spoke earnestly, "Back then, I conquered the Myriad Realms and founded the imperial court. That was how I was. I believed myself unequalled. And what happened? The court collapsed. The myriad races rose in revolt."

He shook his head and pushed the matter aside. Looking around them, he said, "Let's have a private chat. Radiant King and Battle King, receive our friends from afar. For now, our new friends can't go to the front lines yet. The myriad races are paying close attention to us. Their arrival might trigger a decisive battle with them."

Su Yu nodded. This was what he wanted as well.
