Chapter 780: The First Resurrected One

Fourteen top-tier powerhouses had fallen just like that!

And in that moment, Nan Wang’s aura swelled, and the Death Spirit Giant’s aura swelled as well—both were Heavenly Sovereign-level beings, advancing toward a higher realm.

Likewise, Dragonblood Marquis, without a sound, broke through at this very moment!

And with the fall of those fourteen top-tier powerhouses, the entire Death Spirit Domain suddenly fell silent—except for those undead whose minds were truly controlled.

...

Within the Path of the Dead.

Su Yu, his expression stern, gazed at the giant across from him. The Death Spirit Giant, its aura growing ever stronger, furrowed its brow and looked back at Su Yu.

And Su Yu was studying it as well.

After a moment, Su Yu said calmly, “Are you the full will of the original, or just some remnant will? Is the Lord of the Dead alive or dead?”

“Life and death?”

The giant said indifferently, “You speak of life and death with one who has mastered death? Don’t you find that absurd?”

Su Yu smiled. “Mastered death? I admit the Lord of the Dead is immensely powerful and unmatched in talent, but to claim mastery over death—perhaps that’s not enough!”

He didn’t say the Lord of the Dead was weak, but mastering death depends on the circumstances...

Can you master the death of a top-tier existence?

Clearly not!

That tone was a bit arrogant.

The giant ignored him and thrust its fork at him.

Its aura was still growing.

It was even beginning to approach Su Yu’s level!

And yet, not much time had actually passed.

As for Dizhi Luo and the others being killed, the giant was utterly indifferent—dead is dead, for this was the world of death!

Their complete annihilation also accelerated its revival, so it wasn’t losing out either.

On Su Yu’s side,

Nan Wang and the others had gained, the giant had gained, and Dragonblood Marquis had gained too.

All three sides profited!

As for who lost—at this moment, it could only be those fools who had died.

The giant’s fork stirred the Path into chaos, and it spoke more freely: “Death is the final destination. Your wish to revive them is nothing but a delusion! The Path of Time cannot accommodate their existence!”

Su Yu had figured it out—this giant was not the original!

Unfazed by its words, he asked curiously, “Are you a clone, or a lingering imprint? A spiritual imprint?”

The giant was calm, thrusting its fork again to send Su Yu stumbling back: “What does it matter if I’m a clone or an imprint? I am I! The clone is me, the imprint is me, life is me, death is me—all paths are me!”

Then it said flatly, “You want to merge these people into the world you’ve created? You dare to do such a thing—with your strength, you dared to open a new world, and you succeeded. I must say, it’s quite astonishing... but right now, you are encroaching upon my Path’s domain! Do you realize this is a mortal enmity?”

“Even if I am not the original, should the original one day return, this theft of my Path will be a mortal enmity as well!”

This time, it was indeed Su Yu who had actively stolen the Path.

When people die, the Lord of the Dead gives them a second chance, and you must pay a price. But now, Su Yu wanted to take them away—how could that be allowed!

Nan Wang and the others were like leeks the Lord of the Dead had grown, to be harvested at will.

But now, Su Yu, this outsider, wanted to uproot those leeks entirely. If that wasn’t enmity, what was?

Su Yu smiled. “You mean you won’t kill me?”

Otherwise, why talk about the original.

But the giant was utterly indifferent: “Kill you? You can withdraw at any time. This conflict is merely about whether you can take these people away. Do you think you and I can settle life and death here and now? I am not the original—once I leave the Path of the Dead, my power wanes, and entering the realm of the living leaves me with nothing. How could I kill you?”

Yes!

That was the crux of this struggle.

As for Su Yu falling, the odds were slim.

So, those with clear eyes could see it; those who couldn’t were already dead.

Su Yu laughed. “Then why not yield a step?”

“I have never yielded!”

With that, suddenly, the massive fork transformed into countless ropes, surging toward Su Yu to bind him!

“I knew you were up to no good!”

At that moment, Su Yu was equally prepared. While they talked, both were making their moves.

The opponent’s fork turning into ropes was a masterful technique.

And Su Yu, secretly gathering power, pointed with his brush, conjuring a great lock, a cage, a suppression talisman, and a binding array!

Boom!

The thunderous sound rang out again, and behind him, waves of aura surged, far stronger than before.

Nan Wang and the others had arrived!

Nan Wang struck with a palm from afar and snorted coldly, “You revived me, and I served you for years. My death spirit origin has fueled your Path of the Dead for ages—we’re long even. We were merely mutually beneficial; you are no master!”

This, of course, was directed at the giant.

The giant quickly stepped back, unconcerned—or rather, dismissive, ignoring it!

Ants!

They were on different levels. Even if Nan Wang was now powerful, so what?

Even if the Death Spirit Emperor was stronger than Su Yu, so what?

In the giant’s eyes, the Death Spirit Emperor was nothing but a dog—a dog it had raised. It might bite back, or it might not; it might wag its tail, or it might snap.

So what?

A dog I raised is still a dog!

Only Su Yu—power level wasn’t everything!

Thus, the giant had no interest in arguing with Nan Wang. Say what you will, think what you like—if I take it seriously, I lose.

His disdain made Nan Wang frown, but soon he snorted and fell silent.

Now, the others were gathering one by one.

Of the sixty-plus powerhouses before, only about thirty remained.

Some had been killed by those who had been commanded earlier, others by Nan Wang and his group.

Su Yu sensed for a moment and frowned.

Xingyue and Hetu were not among them.

The Southern King understood Su Yu’s thoughts and quickly transmitted a message: “Your Majesty, Xingyue… Xingyue cannot find her own Origin!”

Su Yu was momentarily stunned.

Cannot find her Origin?

What does that mean?

He immediately looked at the giant and suddenly spoke directly: “Lord of the Dead… no, let me just call you Daoist of the Dead. Though we have clashed, may I ask you something?”

The giant stepped back a few paces, not intimidated by Su Yu’s words, but to avoid their momentum, waiting for his strength to recover.

Su Yu was stalling for time, and he was happy to oblige.

Stall all you want!

“Speak!”

The giant said coldly, but still replied.

Su Yu said: “A friend of mine, of no low status, died many years ago, but now she cannot find her Origin! Daoist, you govern the Great Dao of the Dead, so I think you must know the situation?”

“Cannot find her Origin?”

The giant seemed lost in thought. After a long while, a strange glint appeared in his eyes, and he suddenly looked at Su Yu.

Soon, he laughed, for the first time.

“You want to revive her?”

“Of course!”

The giant laughed again: “Then you may be disappointed. The person you speak of… I might know who it is! Cannot find her Origin… no, it’s not that she cannot find it, but that her backer was not weak. In the past, when she died, her backer forcibly extended her life!”

Then, he said with a faint smile: “I look forward to your choice! I don’t mind telling you some things. I know a little about this person. Her Origin is not in the Great Dao of the Dead… no, or rather, not entirely in the Great Dao of the Dead! The point where life and death meet, you should understand!”

“Her Origin is half in the Great Dao of Time, and half with me!”

“If you want to revive her, you will offend not only my true self but also that one!”

“Her state is special, half alive and half dead, but not in the ordinary sense of half alive and half dead… a true balance of life and death! This cannot be done without a supreme powerhouse. Back then, I vaguely recall a later powerhouse, calling himself the Human Emperor, who came to ask for a favor. He acted to maintain her in this state… waiting for a later revival!”

“I thought she had long since left, but I never expected she was still here!”

The giant laughed lightly: “I know a little of what the Human Emperor intended. Perhaps he also wanted to open a new heaven, to create his own world, and then guide this woman. Unfortunately… he must have failed later, right? There has been no news of him since.”

Su Yu’s heart trembled.

The Human Emperor!

So, Xingyue was indeed related to the Human Emperor. And when Xingyue died back then, the Human Emperor had already come to the Great Dao of the Dead, wanting to revive her. But at that time, the Human Emperor had probably not yet opened his heaven.

In the middle, he had to abandon the opening of heaven, and thus naturally there was no news of him.

Su Yu said solemnly: “Her Origin is at the boundary between life and death? So, to revive her… I need to go to the River of Time to retrieve the other half of her Origin?”

“Wrong!”

The giant said calmly: “If you want to revive her, it’s different from others! When others die, they are truly dead. I pull their Origin from the River of Time and recreate it once more!”

“But this woman is neither alive nor dead. In fact, she is not completely dead. Since she is not completely dead, how can you speak of revival?”

Su Yu was stunned again. This time, he truly did not understand what the fellow meant.

After a long while, Su Yu frowned: “What does Daoist mean?”

The giant really did not mind telling him these things. Stalling for time was one reason, and second, Su Yu was qualified to discuss the Dao with him. No matter how weak a heaven-opener was, he was still a heaven-opener!

“To restore her is actually very simple…”

Simple?

Su Yu felt a slight strangeness in his heart. Was it really simple?

The giant smiled faintly: “Indeed, it is quite simple. Your path to opening heaven, I see you comprehend life and death, reversing them. That is not difficult! She is also half alive and half dead, and you are the same. Go to the boundary, find her Origin, and give her all the Dao of Life and Death from your world. She will transform into the Dao of Life and Death, and naturally, she will revive!”

Su Yu was dazed. So simple?

The giant laughed softly: “Isn’t it simple? But as a heaven-opener, I must warn you: the Dao of Life and Death in your world is very strong and unique. If you give these two Daos to another, once they turn against you… it will be hard for you to reclaim them. From then on, the life and death of all beings in your world will be in her hands alone!”

“She is now suppressed by both the Great Dao of Time and the Great Dao of the Dead. Her memories are probably less than one percent. The her you know may not be the her after revival!”

The giant’s smile grew brighter: “Others, when their memories return, their true heart comes back. She will not! She is simultaneously suppressed by two supreme Daos. The her you know is only one percent of her, an insignificant part! So, simple as it is, are you sure you want to revive her?”

Su Yu smiled: “Daoist means that after she recovers, she will no longer be the Xingyue of now? Unlike the Southern King and the others, who remain the same after recovery?”

“Exactly!”

The giant smiled faintly: “So, to hand over the two most crucial Daos in your world to another, someone you are not familiar with—yes, after she revives, you will surely not recognize her. Then, do you still think it’s simple? Do you still think it’s worth it? Behind her, there is also a supreme powerhouse. If that Human Emperor is not dead, even if he failed to open heaven, he is still a supreme. Be careful that he might use this woman to seize your world!”

Su Yu smiled. Suddenly, he turned and shouted: “Let’s go! To the boundary between life and death!”

The giant followed step by step, smiling faintly: “Are you really not considering it? Impulse will be punished! Young people always act on impulse, and only later do they realize how dangerous it is! Opening heaven is not easy. Why ruin yourself for a stranger? While my strength has not yet recovered to the level of a Rule Master, you still have hope to revive others… Are you willing to gamble the future of all of you for this woman?”

This was somewhat instigating!

The Southern King immediately saw through it and said coldly: “His Majesty will never abandon anyone!”

Su Yu laughed heartily: “Southern King, you are wrong. Sometimes, one must abandon! Don’t put a crown on my head. It’s unnecessary. Xingyue is different. Many things I obtained originally belonged to her! I repay grudges, and I also repay kindness! As for all of you… I naturally have a way to help you revive. Don’t mind this spiritual imprint. Such instigations are child’s play. I don’t even bother with them. Even if the true Lord of the Dead were here, he wouldn’t play such games!”

“Confidence?”

The giant laughed: “There is still hope now. Wait a little longer, and your confidence… might become a joke!”

Su Yu ignored him.

The giant said again: “Are you sure you want to hand over the Dao of Life and Death to her?”

“Why not?”

Su Yu laughed: “The Dao of Life and Death is not the core of my Dao! Daoist, you are blinded by a leaf! My Dao of Life and Death is good, only because these two Daos are very useful. It’s not that they are my core Daos! Even if she recovers her true heart and is no longer the Xingyue of now, so what? I will do what I must do!”

The giant laughed. At this moment, unhurriedly, he followed Su Yu step by step forward.

His aura was also growing stronger.

Every moment, he was recovering more powerfully!

Gradually, he seemed to be on par with Su Yu. Not only that, he continued to grow stronger.

…

At the same time.

Deep in the Great Dao, Xingyue held the Xingyu Seal, suppressing the fluctuations of the Dao, searching everywhere. After a long while, she said gloomily: “Forget it, let’s go back!”

She vaguely sensed that her Origin was still deeper.

Now, she had already wasted much time.

Forget it, she wouldn’t search anymore!

Beside her were Hetu and Xia Chen, protecting her. At this moment, both of them were also filled with strangeness. The stronger they became, the deeper the Origin.

The Southern King’s Origin had already been found, but Xingyue kept moving forward. If not for the Xingyu Seal, they would have been crushed by the great waves long ago!

Was she truly sensing something, or was she just wandering aimlessly?

Where exactly was Xingyue’s Origin?

The stars and moon said nothing, turned around, and began to walk back. No sooner had they gone a short distance than waves of aura rippled through the air.

Hetu was startled: “Your Majesty, has he been defeated and fled?”

Otherwise, why would he be coming this deep?

As he pondered, figures began to appear one after another, and Su Yu’s laughter echoed: “Why are you heading back?”

“Xingyue said she can’t find her origin, so she’s not looking anymore…”

Hetu had barely finished when Su Yu chuckled: “How could she not find it? How could one not know where their own origin lies? Lady Xingyue, isn’t your origin right at the end?”

Xingyue’s face was cold: “I can’t find it!”

“Enough, I know it’s at the end. Go on, I’ll go with you!”

Su Yu laughed cheerfully: “What are you worried about? Afraid it’ll take too much time? It’s fine—look, the Daoist behind us is in no hurry, so we’re not either!”

Everyone looked, and sure enough, the giant behind them was unhurriedly ambling along, keeping a deliberate distance, a smile on his face: “Go on, I’d like to see what happens when life and death are half and half, and after revival, what exactly unfolds!”

Hetu was taken aback and sent a telepathic message: “Your Majesty… have you won him over?”

What nonsense!

Su Yu was speechless. Win him over? The man was clearly waiting to watch the show—couldn’t he see that?

This giant’s strength was already advancing toward the level of a Rule Master!

…

The group continued onward.

Xingyue frowned several times, as if about to speak, but Su Yu cut her off each time. Why bother talking? Shut up and that’s that—there was no time to waste on endless chatter with a woman.

Soon, they reached the place where life and death met.

Now, everyone could see the intertwining of two forces. Xingyue’s eyes first grew confused, then gradually cleared into understanding.

Her origin was truly right here!

Su Yu looked at Xingyue and smiled: “Lady Xingyue, it seems you’ve sensed it too—your origin should be right here. Having backing really is something! You might be the Human Emperor’s daughter? Sister? Wife? Or… the Human Emperor’s mother?”

Under Xingyue’s furious gaze, Su Yu laughed: “The dead Daoist behind us says your revival is actually quite simple. King Wen wanted to help you revive back then, but the paths of life and death weren’t cooperative. And your revival… I suspect, is different from everyone else’s!”

Su Yu smiled: “You might be accepted by the River of Time, while King Nan and the others probably won’t be.”

Behind them, the giant chuckled softly: “Not ‘might’—this woman’s revival will definitely be accepted by the River of Time. That’s why I said you’re in danger. Because on one hand, she will continue to wield everything she cultivated in the River of Time, and on the other, she will independently control your path of life and death—she won’t be under your command!”

Xingyue’s situation was even more special than Hetu’s. She was truly dead, but her backer, the Human Emperor, had once come here and merged her origin half-and-half into two great paths—one of life, one of death.

Thus, what the Dead Dao had drawn forth was incomplete, only a small part of her origin.

Su Yu couldn’t help but sigh—having connections really made a difference.

Look, even dead, she wasn’t fully drawn away; she could still live, revive, and return directly to the River of Time. Others didn’t get that treatment!

At that moment, Xingyue frowned: “What does that mean?”

The giant chuckled softly: “This little Daoist friend probably wants to hide a thing or two. I don’t mind saying a bit more…”

Before he could finish, Su Yu cut in directly: “What’s there to hide? Ridiculous, childish! It means that when you come back to life, you’ll control the paths of life and death in my world. Your memories are only one percent—once you revive, the dead memories, the ones about me, will probably be like… taking a piss and bumping into a pissing buddy—you get it, right?”

“…”

The group was stunned. What kind of analogy was that?

But Su Yu laughed heartily: “What are you staring at me for? That’s how it is! You take a piss, meet someone else doing the same—you’ve seen him, but who knows who he is? Next time you meet, can you really recognize him?”

“That’s hard to say!”

Hetu nodded thoughtfully, and everyone looked at him strangely—your words carry a lot of weight!

At this critical moment, the group nearly burst out laughing at the two of them.

Xingyue, however, frowned and glared coldly at Su Yu: “So you’re saying I’ll forget you?”

“Probably not, but you might treat me like a stranger!”

Su Yu smiled: “Alright, we weren’t exactly close anyway. Back then, you came to convert me, and later I used you, took the Xingyu Seal and the Dao Diagram from you… Now, I’ll repay you with the paths of life and death!”

Xingyue stared at him coldly: “Are you trying to settle accounts?”

Su Yu laughed: “What do you mean by that? They were always clear. But, Lady Xingyue, if you remember me after reviving, please take care of me—the Human Emperor is a mighty backer!”

“Hmph!”

Xingyue snorted coldly: “I won’t revive. There’s no need for you to repay anything!”

Su Yu chuckled: “That’s not for you to decide!”

“…”

Everyone was stunned as Su Yu stepped forward, grabbed Xingyue by the neck, and said cheerfully: “You’re weak—what you say doesn’t count! I want to repay, so I will. Stop with the nonsense! Hurry up—if we dawdle any longer, the dead Daoist will become a true Rule Master!”

Su Yu pressed Xingyue down onto the boundary where life and death met, laughing: “Quick, merge with your origin!”

“I won’t!”

Xingyue resisted, furious: “I won’t revive!”

Su Yu laughed heartily: “Come on, hurry up! What’s the point of not reviving? Are you thinking of preserving this beautiful memory between us? A dead spirit hundreds of thousands of years old, trying to nibble on my young grass?”

“…”

The crowd was dumbfounded. They wanted to laugh—what were they supposed to do?

Xingyue, meanwhile, was furious, humiliated, and on the verge of dying of shame.

No, I’m not refusing to revive because I’m clinging to anything!

She raged: “Who would want to preserve anything? What beautiful memories do I have with you? Su Yu, you overestimate yourself!”

Su Yu laughed loudly: “True, you and I… we don’t have much to remember. Just me sucking, sucking, sucking you dry a few times, hahaha…”

Shameless words!

Even King Nan couldn’t stand it anymore and shouted: “Hurry up! Do you want to wait until he recovers to the level of a Rule Master?”

What are you doing!

Marquis Lanshan also looked at Su Yu with a strange expression—His Majesty… could be quite lewd at times.

Su Yu smiled, then quickly turned serious: “Alright, revive now! I don’t like owing anyone. Owing too much isn’t affection—it’s a burden. Whoever gives me a favor, I’ll repay it. It’s not about being clear-cut; I just don’t want to owe a debt of gratitude that turns into a burden and sours.”

“Xingyue!”

Su Yu looked at her and said solemnly: “After you revive, whether you remember me or not, it doesn’t matter. I have only one request…”

Xingyue was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice: “Speak.”

Su Yu’s expression gradually grew serious.

At this moment, the atmosphere shifted. The others also became solemn, their faces heavy.

Su Yu wanted to say something?

And Su Yu, after a brief silence, suddenly spoke: "The two paths of life and death... I cannot give them to you."

Everyone was stunned.

Xingyue was also shocked!

What was this?

This bastard, first I didn’t want it, and he insisted on giving it.

Now that I’ve stopped refusing, he won’t give it. This scumbag, is he doing it on purpose?

Su Yu burst into laughter: "Of course I can’t give them! The Death Dao friend was tricking me. If I gave them to you now, how the hell would I revive the others? Hahaha!"

Su Yu laughed heartily, "So, you merge with the origin first. I’ll revive everyone, then merge the two paths of life and death and give them to you. Even if you turn against us, we won’t lose. The Death Dao friend is indeed a schemer, deliberately setting a trap!"

Behind them, the giant chuckled, "Little friend, you tend to overthink. I could have kept telling you not to do this!"

Su Yu turned to look at him, smiling, "Friend, are you close to becoming a Ruler of the Dao?"

"I should... be there!"

Boom!

An immensely powerful aura surged from him. The giant stepped forward, his smile gradually fading: "I didn’t want to kill you, but you insist on seeking death. Coming here, deep into the Death Dao, now you can’t tear the Dao apart—how will you escape?"

Su Yu pointed behind him, grinning, "Escape into the Time Dao!"

The giant said calmly, "True, provided you can survive my hands. Su Yu, is it? Little friend, you have many tricks, but unfortunately... this is my territory!"

"No!"

Su Yu shook his head: "This belongs to the master of the Death Dao. He is the overlord, not you. You are merely his projection, his avatar, his spiritual imprint. You are not him! People like us never acknowledge avatars or imprints as ourselves. We are ourselves! You speak rightly—the myriad Daos are only the self—but that self is the true self! Do you understand?"

Su Yu smiled, "An avatar is an avatar, an imprint is an imprint. Who says an avatar or imprint is the real me?"

Su Yu chuckled, "I’ve never thought that way. Avatars, imprints—they’re just tools, means to an end. Who would mistake a tool for themselves? Isn’t that foolish?"

The giant’s face turned cold, "And now, you still provoke me!"

"Of course. Why should I fear you?"

Su Yu laughed, "You’ve become a Ruler of the Dao, and this place is indeed your domain, but... I’m not afraid of you!"

"Seeking death!"

With a cold shout, a torrent of overwhelming energy surged, instantly striking toward Su Yu.

Nan Wang and the others were about to act, but Su Yu smiled, "No need. Everyone, prepare to revive! Liu Hong!"

A thunderous roar rang out!

The next moment, Liu Hong, who had been missing, suddenly bellowed!

Now, in the Death Realm, upon the Death Dao, a Dao suddenly shifted toward the depths. Liu Hong’s aura exploded as he sprinted, moving the Mo Dao tributary, cursing furiously, "Why the depths?"

"Nonsense! Life and Death power is all here. Hurry up!"

Su Yu’s voice echoed.

Liu Hong roared, shifting the Mo Dao, screaming madly, "Someone, clear all obstacles! Move!"

Instantly, many powerful figures appeared.

Wan Tiansheng and the others arrived. Without needing orders, Wan Tiansheng glanced around and barked, "Kill all blocking Death Spirits! Now! Suppress the power of the Death Dao! Everyone attack!"

"Scatter your attacks, target the Dao!"

"..."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Countless experts struck simultaneously!

Heaven and earth shattered!

Meanwhile, Liu Hong, shifting the Mo Dao, moved frantically, shouting, "At least three Celestial Venerables! All Celestial Venerables, come! Move it next to that guy—he’ll block us, so we’ll gang up on him!"

"Just a Ruler of the Dao—let’s kill him!"

"Feiqiu, Giant Axe, March, gather quickly!"

Everyone roared. Giant Axe and March were utterly bewildered—what the hell!

Here, Rulers of the Dao were just casually fought?

In this damned place, two Rulers of the Dao had appeared today!

The Death Emperor, and this giant avatar.

Today, even Celestial Venerables seemed worthless, right?

As they thought this, a powerful aura erupted in the distance. Wu Huang’s roar rang out: "Get lost! Damn it, where are you hitting?"

March and the others quickly looked over and froze.

Was that Wu Huang?

Wu Huang wasn’t deliberately seeking attention. September and his group were chasing some Death Spirits and had fought their way to Wu Huang’s area. Fighting was fine, but they kept striking toward Wu Huang’s passage.

Wu Huang was furious!

I’ve been so low-key. There’s been constant battle today, and I haven’t interfered, haven’t meddled, haven’t participated. What do you take me for?

In his rage, he roared, threw a punch, and shattered a Death Celestial King who had just revived from the Death River, blasting him apart!

September and the others were so startled they quickly retreated.

Seeing them back off, Wu Huang snorted coldly, "Don’t think just because you’re Su Yu’s men, I won’t kill you!"

March was shocked!

September was in danger—this was an immensely powerful being.

The next moment, Wu Huang snorted again, "Forget it. Get lost. As long as that bastard doesn’t bother me again, I can’t be bothered with you!"

With that, he turned and fled back into his passage. With a creak, the passage seemed to close!

March and Giant Axe exchanged glances... Damn, that was something!

Was he backing down?

Backing down, yet still speaking so arrogantly and fiercely. That was Wu Huang for you—tough in words even when retreating!

At that moment, Liu Hong roared, "Hurry! What are those two Celestial Venerables standing around for? No sense at all!"

I’m furious!

Idiots!

Those two Celestial Venerables who came down from the upper realm—both idiots!

They’d been fighting all this time, still looking dazed!

March and Giant Axe exchanged glances—yes, he was talking about us!

Up in the upper realm, we were overlords too!

Down here... we're nothing but a nuisance to everyone!

Damn shameful!

The two fell silent, wordlessly falling in behind Liu Hong to clear his path. Liu Hong shifted the Ink Path with blinding speed; in the blink of an eye, he had moved to its end.

Boom!

At that moment, an immensely powerful aura erupted. The giant thrust his fork at the Ink Path, a note of surprise and tremor in his voice, "So you dug a secret passage, and I never knew—damn it!"

"And if you did know, that would be the end of us!"

Liu Hong cursed, then quickly roared, "You Heavenly Lords, hit him! See if he dares strike me?"

He was nearly exploding with rage!

Their coordination was utterly lacking!

So annoying!

Working with a clever partner is pure bliss—you get into position, and they already know what to do!

But these fellows—even if you lie flat on your back, they still wait for you to tell them how to act!

The three Heavenly Lords, along with several Heavenly Kings, all struck out!

Mighty power blasted straight into the Ink Path, racing along it to the top in an instant. The force drove the giant back a full step.

And at that moment, Su Yu burst into laughter. A stream of life-and-death power seeped down from the Ink Path, spreading directly toward the Chaos Land. "Fellow dead spirit, it seems I've won after all!"

"Everyone, enter the Ink Path, cross into the Chaos Land, come into my world—be reborn!"

Boom!

In that instant, heaven and earth quaked. One after another, dead spirit powerhouses rushed toward the Ink Path. Liu Hong roared violently, the Ink Path swaying unsteadily as he bellowed, "Hurry, Your Majesty, drive that fellow away, or we can't guide them out!"

Su Yu cursed, "Nonsense! I'm maintaining the path of life and death—when do I have time to deal with you? March, Giant Axe, Fat Ball... come up through the Ink Path and fight him together!"

One mighty being after another entered the Dead Spirit Path via the Ink Path.

At that moment, the Dead Spirit Path trembled violently. A powerful repulsive force instantly weakened the auras of several living beings. The giant sneered coldly, "Living beings entering here—courting death?"

"Hold him off for now!"

Su Yu roared, buying a little time.

Right now, he was channeling the power of life and death, drawing in his own world, preparing to transfer Nan Wang and the others. Not only transfer them, but also use the dense life-and-death energy here to revive them!

"World invasion!"

A furious shout, then a thunderous crash!

In the distance, Su Yu's small world, taking advantage of the turmoil in the Dead Spirit Path and the giant being held at bay, charged straight toward the Land of Return!

In the void, a book and a great seal were rapidly shattering the rule of the Dead Spirit Path!

Since we're already fighting, I might as well seize your territory!

"Courting death!"

Boom!

The giant forked March away with one thrust, then forked Giant Axe away with another, and soon locked in battle with Fat Ball.

But Su Yu, swiftly gathering immense life force, looked at Nan Wang and Lanshan and said with a smile, "Which of you goes first?"

"..."

Below, Hetu broke down, crying, "Your Majesty, let me go first!"

"..."

Su Yu laughed heartily, "No rush. You've already merged with the origin and shown everyone enough. For resurrection, you don't get to go first!"

Damn you!

Be a decent person!

You keep saying women are obstacles, but when it counts, you only think about reviving women first?

Damn it!

Hetu was utterly frustrated!

And at that moment, a surge of immense life force poured into Lanshan Hou's body. Su Yu laughed, "Alright, Lanshan will set an example first! Liu Hong, cut off the Dead Spirit Path and connect it to my world!"

"Got it!"

Boom!

The middle of the Ink Path sealed off instantly. In that moment, Lanshan Hou transformed from black to white, from white to a yin-yang figure of black and white, shifting endlessly, her appearance constantly changing!

The next moment, she flew out of the Ink Path. Outside was Su Yu's world.

She had been there before!

But this time, it felt utterly different!

At this moment, she suddenly sensed the existence of a physical body, felt the repulsion of death force!

Lanshan stood stunned!

I... am I resurrected?

She raised her hand and stared at it blankly, while Su Yu roared, "Quickly connect to the path in my world that suits you—hurry, be careful!"

Rumble!

In that instant, both the Dead Spirit Path and Su Yu's path erupted with a bolt of thunderous force, striking at Lanshan Hou!

This world does not permit your rebirth!

Rising from the dead—that truly breaks all order!

Lanshan Hou, just now white, was in a flash struck black again by the thunder!

She let out a miserable scream—agonizing, but... so exhilarating!

"Hahaha! I can feel pain!"

Lanshan Hou went wild—I can feel pain!

Heavens, I can actually feel pain!

And Su Yu couldn't help but roar again, "Shut up and manifest some clothes! Do you want to be seen naked by those old lechers after your rebirth?"

"..."

In that instant, even the paths seemed to fall silent.

A group of elder powerhouses all felt a pang in their livers!

Who the hell is an old lecher?

Who are you implying?

Lanshan Hou was taken aback, then burst into laughter—clear and crisp, yet coarse.

"Alright, I'll only show His Majesty! Hahaha, Your Majesty, I look great!"

Boom!

In an instant, she was struck by lightning and turned to charcoal. Su Yu was speechless—this is what she called good-looking?

Heh!

These women, all of them have inexplicable confidence!

And at that moment, the entire world shook violently—not just Su Yu's world, but also the Path of the Dead, the Path of Time, Su Yu's own path, and even the Human Sovereign's path—all trembled!

Someone had come back to life!

Risen from the dead!

PS: The next chapter will be delayed a bit, around 11 o'clock. If possible, I'll release it earlier!
