Chapter 807: King Meets King, Complete Victory!

, the fastest update to the latest chapter of The Calamity of All Races!

“Hahaha!”

Heaven and earth shook, the long river ceased to flow, and the Martial Emperor’s aura covered the world in that moment.

His long hair flew, and his golden armor appeared.

If only... he had more hair, he would surely be more handsome, more explosive.

A pity, his hair was a bit sparse, somewhat bald.

The Martial Emperor probably didn’t notice this!

Nor did he have the mind to notice it.

Also, his legs were slightly... slightly bow-legged; there was no helping it—if you’d been forced into a split for over a hundred thousand years, you’d be bow-legged too!

Bald, bow-legged, his neck a bit crooked—yes, his neck had been broken and stuffed underground, so it was also crooked.

His aura was explosive, his armor dazzling, his laughter wild...

Everything was fine!

If you didn’t look at the man, you’d sigh and say, what a Martial Emperor, unmatched in dominance!

But when you looked at him... what a Martial Emperor, meeting him was worse than hearing his name—truly a letdown!

Of course, in this era, strength mattered; whether a man was handsome or not was unimportant. A powerhouse like Su Yu, who combined handsomeness, talent, wisdom, bravery, dominance, and decisiveness, was far too rare!

That was Su Yu’s own thought.

At this moment, he stood proudly in the long river of time, hands behind his back, silently watching the Martial Emperor’s wild laughter.

He found nothing domineering about it!

Having seen the Martial Emperor at his most disgraceful, Su Yu didn’t think much of his powerful aura.

Yes, the Martial Emperor was strong!

At this moment, the Martial Emperor might truly be the strongest in all the realms. This could be seen from the comparison with the Divine Emperor Consort in the long river of time—there was still a gap.

At this moment, the Divine Emperor Consort’s aura was also strong, but from the feel of it, she might be slightly weaker than Yu Qing? And Yu Qing was considerably weaker than the Martial Emperor.

That was the feeling!

This time, Su Yu had a comparison—a clear comparison. Indeed, Rule Masters were stratified, though it was hard to distinguish by realm.

At the Rule Master level, you looked at the length of the Dao, the width of the Dao, the characteristics of the Dao, and the nature of the rules.

Everyone grasped the power of one Dao. A Rule Master with a Dao as narrow as a urethra was still a Rule Master.

But compared to a Rule Master with a Dao as vast as the ocean, it was the difference between heaven and earth.

Thus, Rule Masters couldn’t be easily divided by rank. You looked at the whole, at the strength of the Dao. And the Martial Emperor was clearly far stronger than the Divine Emperor Consort.

Su Yu had actually encountered the Martial Emperor’s Dao before, seen it. From his perspective, the width was decent—about 4,000 meters—stronger than the Dao of the Desolate Heaven Beast.

Among the Daos Su Yu had seen, not counting some special ones, it was only weaker than the Brush Dao.

The Martial Emperor was a powerhouse; there was no doubt about that.

If he weren’t strong, he wouldn’t be qualified to fight with the Martial King and the others.

But... the Martial Emperor had fallen on hard times. Su Yu truly hadn’t treated him as a supreme powerhouse. Yet at this moment, the Martial Emperor was still very domineering.

When he recovered his strength and burst into wild laughter, the next moment, he frowned and coldly shouted, “Get lost!”

He wasn’t speaking to Su Yu, but to the Divine Emperor Consort.

The Martial Emperor’s aura raged, and he coldly glared at the Divine Emperor Consort—a member of the Divine Clan!

She had taken advantage of his breaking the seal to continue her Dao.

If he hadn’t known that Su Yu had tacitly allowed it earlier, he would have killed this leech right now!

In the distance, the Divine Emperor Consort’s aura was strong, but at this moment, she seemed to be vying with the sun and moon.

After a moment of silence, the Divine Emperor Consort gave a slight bow and vanished instantly.

The Martial Emperor—she was no match for him.

Though the Martial Emperor was arrogant, his arrogance had its capital.

Provoking him now was clearly unwise.

The Divine Emperor Consort disappeared. The Martial Emperor paid her no heed and turned to Su Yu, his gaze fierce, his aura wildly oppressive, pressing down on Su Yu. He walked step by step toward Su Yu, his aura overwhelmingly powerful, and said coldly, “Su Yu!”

This fellow had humiliated him many times.

Now, he had broken free!

In all the realms today, who else but him?

The Martial Emperor knew in his heart that even if he had been sealed for years, even if he was no match for the Literary King and the others, in this sealed era, he was the undisputed king!

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have dared to promise Su Yu to kill three Rule Masters!

That was his confidence and self-assurance!

With his aura raging, the Martial Emperor stepped on the long river of time, closing in on Su Yu step by step. He wanted to see if Su Yu still had the nerve to be arrogant with him now!

No matter how talented you are, you’re not as strong as me now!

Not far away, Su Yu looked at him and smiled. “If your legs are better, watch your step—they’re a bit bow-legged. Keep them in.”

“...”

The Martial Emperor’s face turned icy. “Su Yu, this isn’t like before!”

Do you know?

The world has changed!

Su Yu smiled again. “Don’t tilt your neck—mind it a little!”

The Martial Emperor’s face darkened. He slightly straightened his legs and adjusted his neck a bit.

He kept approaching Su Yu!

You’re asking for death!

Su Yu smiled again. “Also, your hair is a bit thin!”

“Bastard!”

A furious roar pierced heaven and earth.

If he hadn’t brought it up, fine—but mentioning it, the Martial Emperor flew into a rage. Su Yu had once pulled his hair!

The Martial Emperor was furious!

His hair instantly grew thick, and on his golden armor, traces of blood appeared, his blood energy boiling. In the past, he too had fought against heaven and earth, had killed Rule Masters!

A peerless powerhouse like him, and Su Yu was still humiliating him at this moment.

Su Yu laughed. “Just reminding you—why get angry? Anger is bad for the heart!”

“You’re asking for death!”

Martial Emperor’s voice was cold and boundless: “Do you think that just because you freed me, I would truly stand by your side? Do you think that because you have more men under your command, you can do anything to me? You underestimate me! Moreover, you are at odds with Bai Zhan, with Yu Qing, with all the races… Su Yu, your enemies are everywhere, and yet you still dare to be so arrogant!”

What qualifies you?

What gives you the audacity?

Even Martial Emperor found it strange: with so many foes, Su Yu was not trying to win him over, but instead mocking him at this moment—did he truly not know how to spell the word “death”?

Su Yu chuckled softly: “Even if all the heavens stand against me, I will still do as I please, and I will still look down on you! The one who opened the Heavenly Gate, sealed for over a hundred thousand years, now breaks free through my power, thinking you can overshadow me—let me think… I am twenty-two years old this year. Do you feel proud?”

Martial Emperor’s step faltered.

Su Yu’s expression remained unchanged, still smiling: “Not to mention whether you can kill me—if you could, do you think, after killing me, how long would you live?”

Su Yu’s smile was radiant: “This world has no need for a disruptor! And you—you are the disruptor I released!”

Martial Emperor’s face shifted slightly.

“So what if you are the strongest under heaven? The stronger you are, the sooner you die!”

Su Yu’s smile gradually faded: “Martial Emperor, do you wish to break free today, only to fall today? Do you believe that if I call out now, Bai Zhan, Divine Empress, Death Lord, even Yu Qing and the others, would all be willing to help me kill you?”

Martial Emperor’s face changed: “Impossible! They have grudges against you, not me…”

Su Yu sneered: “Naive thinking! Because… you are the strongest under heaven!”

Martial Emperor was stunned.

“If you are the strongest under heaven, if you do not die, who will?”

Su Yu said calmly: “Can I kill a Rule Lord? Alone? No! But you… you might be able to! So does the Rule Lord fear you more, or me more? Even if I can kill, it would be by encirclement, a siege, at great cost! But you, since you have the power to kill a Rule Lord, you are the public enemy. Don’t you understand this logic?”

Su Yu’s voice grew cold: “Why are you always so foolish?”

Martial Emperor’s face turned ashen!

“Su Yu, do you think you have me cornered? Since you are willing to cooperate with me, others will be too!”

Su Yu nodded slightly: “Yes, you can try. I won’t stop you. Now, right now, Bai Zhan is in the Human Realm. Go ask him if he is willing to cooperate with you!”

Martial Emperor’s expression flickered.

Go?

Ask?

Su Yu was too arrogant!

He cast a cold glance at Su Yu, then suddenly tore the river of time and vanished in an instant.

Su Yu watched him leave with a calm face. Go ahead. If Bai Zhan takes you in, I’ll call you father!

You were released by me!

Bai Zhan would have to be brain-dead to say he’d take you in!

What an idiot!

Aren’t you afraid I did it on purpose?

Aren’t you afraid I planted you as a spy?

Bai Zhan has Yue Luo by his side—he planted his own people. Isn’t he afraid Su Yu planted Martial Emperor?

Besides, Martial Emperor is immensely powerful—isn’t he afraid of being usurped?

Ridiculous!

…

At this moment, in the Human Realm.

The heavens and earth were torn apart.

A vast, boundless aura shook the world. Bai Zhan frowned immediately, and the others became highly alert.

Martial Emperor!

The next moment, a golden figure appeared, no longer as disheveled as before. Martial Emperor was now domineering and unmatched, his powerful aura covering heaven and earth, making even some Dao Integration experts feel suffocated!

Martial Emperor stepped out of the void, looked at Bai Zhan, and said coldly: “Not weak!”

Bai Zhan looked back at him, somewhat solemn, then quickly smiled: “Senior Martial Emperor!”

“Spare me the nonsense!”

Martial Emperor said coldly: “You are human, and I am human. My enmity with Su Yu runs deep. If I cooperate with you to kill Su Yu together, would you be willing?”

Bai Zhan was startled, then chuckled lightly: “Senior jokes. Fellow Daoist Su is also human. Being of the same race, how could we do such a thing… Senior, do not jest.”

What nonsense!

Was this guy here to pick a fight on purpose?

No wonder Su Yu’s attitude had changed so much today—it was because Martial Emperor had broken free, giving him leverage.

True, Martial Emperor was very strong.

As for killing Su Yu… he didn’t take it seriously.

Ha!

What a joke!

If he agreed now and said he wanted to kill Su Yu, Martial Emperor would probably strike at him immediately. Bai Zhan laughed inwardly. Martial Emperor… was this his own idea, or was Su Yu directing him?

Martial Emperor was obviously Su Yu’s man!

That went without saying!

Who in the myriad worlds didn’t think so?

If he weren’t Su Yu’s man, would Su Yu have helped him break the seal? Would he have drawn on the Human Realm’s fortune to break the Human Emperor’s suppression?

Impossible!

Was Su Yu stupid enough to release an enemy and let him join others to kill him?

What a joke!

Martial Emperor frowned slightly and said coldly: “Bai Zhan, you fool, do you think I am Su Yu’s man? That I would listen to him? My enmity with him is deep. He is not weak, and he has many strong subordinates. If you and I join forces to kill him, I will help you pacify the chaos of the myriad worlds!”

Bai Zhan smiled: “Senior, we are all human. There is no need for that. I have no enmity with Fellow Daoist Su.”

“Hypocrite!”

Martial Emperor raged: “He talks about killing you every day, and you don’t want to kill him?”

At that moment, the void trembled. Su Yu’s figure appeared between heaven and earth, hands clasped behind his back, looking across the void and saying calmly: “Alright, you are old. Go back and rest for a while!”

Martial Emperor was furious, suddenly turning his head and cursing: “Su Yu, you treacherous dog! Today, I will join Bai Zhan and kill you…”

Bai Zhan interrupted directly, smiling: “Senior, it’s better to go back with Fellow Daoist Su and rest for a while. You have expended much energy breaking the seal today.”

He almost said: “Stop acting. Aren’t you tired?”

Even if you curse him, even if you beat Su Yu half to death, I won’t interfere. The moment I do… ha, you two would immediately turn around and kill me, right?

Baizhan was utterly speechless!

What exactly did Su Yu intend to do?

Was he looking for an excuse to pick a fight, or did he want to take advantage of the Martial Emperor’s unsealing to completely sever ties with him?

He pondered.

Meanwhile, the Martial Emperor’s face was ashen; the next moment, he roared in fury: “That brat is not worth conspiring with!”

Foolish Baizhan!

If Baizhan had truly joined forces with him now… perhaps the Martial Emperor would have actually struck at Su Yu—truth be told, he was still furious at Su Yu for repeatedly humiliating him.

But as it turned out, Baizhan was an utter idiot!

It infuriated me!

Enough, cooperating with such a fool would only lead to being ruined by Su Yu sooner or later.

Idiotic thing!

The Martial Emperor cursed wildly in his heart; the next moment, he turned his head to look at Su Yu, snorted coldly, and tore through the void, vanishing!

Behind him, Su Yu said with a faint smile: “Martial Emperor, don’t wander off. In this myriad realms, even if you are the foremost of the heavens, you may not be safe! Never go to the Chaos—be careful you don’t run into that worthy nephew Zhou Ji and get yourself killed. Don’t blame me for not warning you!”

The Martial Emperor ignored him and disappeared directly!

He wanted to go see—the world was so vast, and he hadn’t seen it for over a hundred thousand years. Besides, he was feeling stifled right now; he didn’t want to deal with Su Yu. Whatever business there was could wait until he had seen the world!

And Su Yu, no longer paying him any heed, looked across the void at Baizhan.

Last time, they had not met in the River of Time.

This time, however, they were face to face—the so-called king not seeing king… that depended on the circumstances!

At this moment, Su Yu wished to meet Baizhan.

He stood between heaven and earth, gazing at the Eastern Rift Valley, at that familiar place, and said with a light laugh: “Brother Baizhan, the Martial Emperor is rash by nature; don’t bother with him. He’s been sealed by the Martial King for over a hundred thousand years—he’s gone a bit twisted!”

“The Martial Emperor is a senior; naturally, I wouldn’t quibble with him over such things.”

Baizhan also replied with a soft chuckle: “Daoist Su, do you wish to return to the Human Realm?”

Su Yu smiled: “What if I said I did?”

“Then I will yield this Human Realm…”

Behind him, someone frowned.

And Su Yu, also slightly furrowing his brow, said coolly: “Is the Human race not worth Brother Baizhan’s long stay?”

Baizhan gave a wry laugh: “That’s for others. Since it’s Daoist Su coming, I think there won’t be any issue.”

Su Yu said flatly: “Then I also want the Giant Clan!”

Baizhan knitted his brows, looked at Su Yu, and after a moment of silence: “The Giant Clan… it would be useless for you to take it.”

Su Yu nodded: “I understand!”

He said nothing more—just a single “I understand.”

In simple terms, Baizhan could give up the Human Realm, but he did not want to give up the Giant Clan.

At that moment, behind Baizhan, someone’s expression shifted slightly, and Baizhan, quickly realizing that Su Yu might be setting a trap, laughed again: “The Giant Clan… as you know, it is after all my wife’s clan… and as for the Human Realm, you are the tenth-generation Human Lord. I think if you truly want it back, no one will stop you… and if they did, wouldn’t that spark conflict? We are both human—no need for that!”

I am doing this for the Human race, for the greater cause, to give you a place to dwell—so I yield it to you, not because I fear you, nor because I am abandoning the Human race.

Su Yu nodded slightly and added: “The situation in the myriad realms is chaotic. Since we are both human, we can consult on matters from time to time!”

Su Yu continued: “Now, our great enemies are none other than the Sin Clan and the myriad races!”

“Sin Clan?”

“The throne of the Prison King has been stripped by me, certified by heaven and earth, permitted by the Human Emperor, and abandoned by all of humanity!”

Su Yu said coldly: “In the upper realm, I proclaimed it to all heavens. The Human race should know, the strong should know. Brother Baizhan, are you completely unaware?”

Are you not human anymore?

Are you not a strong one?

How could you not know?

Baizhan raised an eyebrow slightly and said with a faint smile: “I know a little, but I didn’t know… that you had designated them as the Sin Clan…”

Su Yu laughed: “Is Prison innocent? Are Prison’s descendants innocent? Yueluo and Yuexiao are under your command—do they know whether they are guilty? Not to mention other things, just one point: standing by and watching the Human race be oppressed by the myriad races for a hundred thousand years, doing nothing—that is an extreme crime!”

Su Yu’s voice shook the heavens: “Being of the same Human race, watching eight generations of Human Lords fall—that is a heinous crime! Watching the descendants of the Martial King fall—that crime is unforgivable! Was the Martial King meritorious or blameworthy? Were the descendants of the Martial King, a generation of Human Lords, meritorious or blameworthy? If this is not a crime, then even the annihilation of the Human race would not be a crime! He who holds office must fulfill his duties! Since they shared in the Human race’s fortune, how could they stand by and watch its decline? For a hundred thousand years they did not emerge, and when they did, there were two Rule Masters, seven or eight Celestial Venerables, over a dozen Heavenly Kings, and nearly a hundred Dao Integrators… Do not tell me this is the accumulation of six thousand years!”

Su Yu’s shout thundered: “If six thousand years could amass such strength, then for a hundred thousand years, were the Human race all useless?”

That earth-shaking roar made all directions tremble.

Was the Prison King’s lineage guilty?

Baizhan said nothing. Su Yu said they were guilty, and he mentioned no other charge—just one: standing by and watching the Human race decline, watching eight generations of Human Lords fall—that was the crime!

Watching nearly a hundred ancient Human Marquises fall—that too was a crime!

He did not mention the targeting of the Civil King’s lineage, for that had nothing to do with others.

Nor did he mention colluding with the undead—Su Yu himself was doing that.

Only this one charge: in the great war, they stood by and did nothing—that was an unforgivable crime!

Baizhan looked at him deeply and nodded slightly: “Sin Clan… well-named. This lineage is guilty!”

He had to acknowledge it!

Even if Su Yu was a bit… insinuating!

The one who stood by for a hundred thousand years was the Prison King’s lineage; for six thousand years, it was his own faction!

Young as he was, his mind was meticulous, and his heart was dark.

Under the witness of all heavens, how could Baizhan deny the crime of the Prison King’s lineage?

The stripping of the Prison King’s throne was the best proof. Su Yu had won the people’s hearts—if he said it was stripped, it was stripped!

And Su Yu, not letting it rest, declared again in a clear voice: “The Sin Clan and the myriad races are the enemies of our Human race. Does Brother Baizhan agree?”

“I agree!”

Baizhan nodded slightly, but at that very moment, someone suddenly spoke in a low voice: “Then Su… Su Human Lord, you also helped the myriad races’ Divine Empress break her seal?”

What crime was this?

Su Yu’s offensive was obvious; Baizhan found it hard to bring up, so someone else raised it for him!

Su Yu, you say the myriad races are enemies, yet you are helping the enemy!

Su Yu’s voice rang out like a great bell: “Use barbarians to control barbarians! The Divine Empress is my great enemy, but the Divine Empress…”

Su Yu turned and shouted: “I helped you break the seal, I asked for nothing. You said you would grant me one condition—my demand is not high: kill Yuezhan. With this transaction, we are done!”

At that moment, from the direction of the Divine Realm, the Divine Empress was silent for a while, then her voice drifted over: “The words of the Yu Emperor, this old woman will remember! With Yuezhan’s death, I will repay the debt of helping me break the seal…”

Su Yu paid no further attention, turned to the speaker, and said coldly: “If I had not helped her break the seal, she still had hope of breaking it. Now, she will kill Yuezhan; Yuqing will surely stop her. Perhaps she will kill more than just Yuezhan—maybe she will perish together with Yuqing… In this matter, is it a loss or a gain?”

The speaker then said softly, “And how can that Su, the Human Sovereign, guarantee that she will kill?”

Su Yu said indifferently, “If she does not kill Yue Zhan, within half a year, I will surely kill her! If she does not die, I will yield this Human Sovereign seat to you—what of it?”

Su Yu stepped forward and barked coldly, “I ask you one thing: dare you accept?”

The man stepped back, his face paling slightly.

It was not Longbrows; Longbrows dared not speak at that moment. It was Changqing, Baizhan’s strategist.

Su Yu’s voice boomed like a bell: “I dare make such a promise—do you dare?”

Su Yu’s voice rang like the sound of the Great Dao, demanding, “You have subdued Yueluo and Yuexiao, you have subdued the Sinful Tribes, yet you have achieved nothing. Dare you say that within three months you will surely kill Yu Qing, and if Yu Qing does not die, you will end yourselves here?”

“Yueluo and Yuexiao are rebels—can a single word of submission truly subdue them?”

Su Yu thundered, “If that Yu returns and says ‘I know my wrongs,’ can he be forgiven? If Yu can be forgiven, then when the myriad-race Rule Lords return and say ‘We are willing to continue revering the Human Race,’ can they be forgiven?”

“If all can be forgiven, then why have we fought for a hundred thousand years?”

“Whether the Divine Race or the myriad races, today’s cooperation is merely to use barbarians to control barbarians!”

Su Yu spoke bluntly, shouting, “It is not forgiveness for forgiveness’s sake—not that they say ‘I submit to Su Yu’ and are thereby innocent! I have accepted the Iron-Eaters, the Fate Clan, the Space Clan, the Hou Clan—all are friends of the Human Race! They bear no blood debts to humanity! They carry no sins!”

“In humanity’s hour of trial, they still stood on humanity’s side, shedding blood and risking their lives for my race—I can accept them. But do the myriad races also wish to submit to me, Su Yu?”

Su Yu roared, “Even if I could speak falsehoods and say now that I accept all myriad-race beings—say that the Divine Empress might be willing to submit to me—can I forget blood feuds for the sake of a single Rule Lord? In this tide, humanity has fought for five hundred years, with over ten million soldiers dead, perhaps even a hundred million! Can I accept those butchers for the sake of one Rule Lord?”

All realms fell silent!

“Even if the myriad races all become my enemies, what of it?”

Su Yu’s voice grew louder: “Can blood-deep hatred be forgiven just because the enemy is strong and submits to me, increasing my power?”

Were these words false?

No!

Those with blood-deep hatred against humanity, Su Yu had never accepted a single one.

The few races he had accepted bore no enmity with humanity—they were either neutral or former allies leaning toward humanity. In this tide, they did not fight in the early stages. Su Yu could not be bothered to name the chief culprit.

All the strong on his side had no enmity with humanity.

Of course, on the death spirit side, Su Yu did not interfere.

They had been dead for countless ages—who knew if they had grudges against humanity?

With each of his shouts, heaven and earth grew still.

After a long while, Baizhan said softly, “Daoist speaks truly. Those with blood-deep hatred against humanity indeed cannot be accepted! Yueluo and Yuexiao… have actually been helping humanity all along, probing the Sinful Tribes’ strength, delaying their advance, preventing them from emerging to encircle humanity…”

At this point, if Su Yu pressed further, he would be picking a quarrel.

Though he dearly wished to pick a quarrel, Su Yu did not dwell on the matter. He declared, “Since that is so, you worry that I am entangled with the myriad races, and I worry that you are still linked to the Sinful Tribes! How about this: you suppress the myriad races, and I suppress the Sinful Tribes!”

Su Yu smiled, “The Ninth Human Sovereign and the Tenth Human Sovereign—two generations of sovereigns, uniting all realms! Living in harmony, fighting the enemy together—that would be a fine tale! Brother Baizhan, perhaps you and I can even compete to see who subdues their foe first! The chaos of the heavens began with humanity and will end with humanity! The myriad races have one Rule Lord and several Celestial Venerables! The Sinful Tribes have two Rule Lords—Yue Zhan and Motian are still formidable… Thus, I am not taking advantage of Brother Baizhan. What do you think, Brother Baizhan?”

At these words, Baizhan’s expression shifted slightly.

Not only Baizhan, but Changqing and the others also changed color.

Su Yu… was forcing the issue!

Truly forcing the issue!

At that moment, his voice shook the myriad races of the heavens, and all humanity listened.

He was not aggressive; he was using the power he had accumulated over years to deal with the many Rule Lords of the Prison King lineage, while Baizhan and his people only needed to deal with the myriad races that Su Yu had nearly crippled. Was that a loss?

Not a loss at all!

Would Baizhan… agree or not?

And Su Yu spoke again, “Brother Baizhan’s camp is full of talent—eight Celestial Venerables, with Baizhan and Nephew Zhou Ji both being Rule Lords. Two Rule Lords, eight Celestial Venerables, over a dozen Heavenly Kings, dozens of Dao Mergers… More than enough to handle the myriad races! Overwhelming strength!”

At that moment, the heavens were shaken.

Baizhan… was that strong?

Even in the Divine Realm, the Divine Empress was greatly shaken.

And as Baizhan was about to speak, Su Yu smiled, “Dozens of Dao Mergers made way for Brother Baizhan. Brother Baizhan is the foremost figure in a hundred thousand years, and your sealing with Yueluo was a planned false seal. Six thousand years ago, you could match the Ancient Human King. Now, you should be even stronger than the Martial Emperor, right? As for Nephew Zhou Ji… has he not reached Rule Lord?”

He only gave Baizhan the chance to deny Zhou Ji’s strength. As for Baizhan himself—if you say you do not have Rule Lord strength, then you are just waiting to make a fool of yourself!

Six thousand years ago, you could match the Human King, and you were in league with Yueluo, with a false seal—did you not improve at all?

Then the title of foremost in a hundred thousand years would be a joke!

Baizhan gave Su Yu a deep look and said calmly, “I have not seen Ji’er for a long time, and I do not know his strength. But with the sealing of all realms now, even if his talent is extraordinary, it would be difficult to reach the level you speak of, Daoist.”

Su Yu laughed heartily, “True! Never mind—even if Nephew Zhou Ji is not a Rule Lord, Brother Baizhan, is there any difficulty in dealing with the myriad races? If there is difficulty… I can send some Dao Mergers to help Brother Baizhan quell the chaos! They are all of the Human Race, strong ones born in this tide! Because Brother Baizhan is too strong, the human flesh path was blocked, and no one could step into Dao Merger. I had to find another way, and only recently helped them cross into other paths of Dao Merger. Brother Baizhan, do not despise them for being too weak!”

Su Yu declared, “They are not like you all, with severed inheritances, forced to walk only the flesh path! As a result, the flesh path was sealed—no inheritance, no foundation, young in years, strengthening themselves through slaughter! In five hundred years, they killed countless enemies, countless died, and only a few achieved Eternity. In desperation, I forced them to abandon the flesh path, change their path, and step into Dao Merger… Do not despise them for being weaker than others!”

A hearty laugh spread across heaven and earth!

Do not despise my people for being weak, because… it was you who caused this!

You sealed the flesh path, severed the ancient inheritances, preventing them from reaching Dao Merger!

Only now, with Su Yu’s help, have they barely stepped into Dao Merger. Was it difficult?

Too difficult!

This was a history of blood and tears!

At that moment, behind Baizhan, someone lowered their head in shame, not daring to meet Su Yu’s eyes!

If these words had not been spoken, it might have passed. But spoken now, before the myriad races of the heavens, anyone with a shred of shame would feel deeply embarrassed!

At this moment, every word from Su Yu pierced the heart!

Su Yu shouted again, “Brother Baizhan, is there difficulty in dealing with the myriad races? Or is it that Brother Baizhan is unwilling to cooperate with me, thinking that I, Su Yu, am too weak and unworthy?”

Baizhan was silent for a moment. Beside him, Changqing, seeing Baizhan’s hesitation, quickly said, “Su Human Sovereign, this matter needs further deliberation…”

Su Yu roared, “Are you the Human Sovereign, or is Baizhan? Are you overstepping your authority? Brother Baizhan, give me a clear answer—are you willing or not? If not, I will face the myriad races and the Sinful Tribes alone! For six thousand years, my Human Race has relied only on itself! For six thousand years, no one has helped us, yet the Human Race still stands!”

With that, Su Yu shouted loudly, “If you are unwilling, I only ask Brother Baizhan not to let brothers turn against each other! The blood feuds of the Human Race, the hatred of the Human Race—I will bear them!”

Baizhan sighed deeply in his heart!

Su Yu… Su Yu!

What a Su Yu!

Speaking like this before everyone, how could I answer?

How could I refuse?

Baizhan was caught in a dilemma!

He had indeed been backed into a corner by Su Yu. This was their first meeting, and Su Yu was forceful and domineering!

If he agreed, then he would have to block the myriad races. If he did not block them… that would be breaking his word, betraying his race… and half of his strong followers might truly leave!

If he blocked the myriad races, then on Su Yu’s side, with the Martial Emperor, Su Yu, and several Celestial Venerables, could they kill Yu Qing and the others?

Very likely!

But if I don't agree... how can I refuse?

Should we take the long view?

Baizhan knew that at this moment, he had to agree. Yet, after a moment's thought, he said softly, "My subordinates Yueluo and Yuexiao are more familiar with the Sin Clan. Let me handle the Sin Clan instead..."

"Good!"

"..."

Baizhan was startled!

Su Yu declared loudly, "I have no objection; Brother Baizhan, do as you wish! In that case, Brother Baizhan will block the Sin Clan, and I will suppress the myriad races! Since Brother Baizhan says he knows the Sin Clan better, I trust that you will surely be able to suppress them before the Gates of Hell!"

He didn't care whom Baizhan suppressed—as long as he agreed, he could quickly break one alliance!

If you agree but fail... you're useless, you're doing it on purpose!

Su Yu shouted, "Since Brother Baizhan wants to suppress the Sin Clan, it is his own choice... We brothers stand together against the outside; humanity will surely triumph! Humanity's glory lies in this era! Since Brother Baizhan has chosen and claims to know the Sin Clan, I trust there won't be a situation where, as I fight the myriad races, the Sin Clan or beings from beyond the Gates of Hell come to obstruct me, right?"

"..."

Silence!

Absolute silence!

At that moment, Baizhan knew he had walked into a trap!

After a pause, he said calmly, "Of course not!"

In that case, let Su Yu deal with the myriad races; as for the Sin Clan... I'll handle them!

He said evenly, "Of course! However, since I am a few years older, if Brother Su conquers the myriad races early, please don't rush to reinforce me... After all, I too wish to save face..."

If you take down the myriad races, just don't interfere with me!

Su Yu laughed heartily, "How could I? I'm still waiting for Brother Baizhan to rescue me! How about this: within three months, we each suppress our respective foes. I think a battle of the strong lasts but an instant—why three months? If possible, we could do it now! But I see Brother Baizhan might need some rest; after all, you've been dormant for six thousand years and may not be battle-ready. Take some time to recuperate and hone your skills. In three months, the myriad races of the heavens will bow to humanity alone!"

At that moment, within the human realm, a roar shook the heavens!

"In three months, the heavens shall be humanity's alone!"

"Humanity alone!"

"Humanity alone!"

The roar shook heaven and earth, stirring hearts!

Two lords of humanity, joining hands to slay the myriad races, to slay the traitors—a great joy!

"Long live Emperor Yu, long live King Baizhan!"

The roar rose again!

At that moment, the thirty-six prefectures, with their thirty-six prefectural lords, led countless people in shouts that resounded through the heavens!

Within three months!

They didn't care whether Baizhan had agreed—it wasn't needed. When Su Yu spoke those words, some knew what to do!

Delay?

No delay would be allowed!

Baizhan remained silent.

Behind him, among the strong, some were stirred, some excited, some frowning, some uneasy.

This day was no longer Baizhan's day.

This day was no longer the day of six thousand years ago!

Su Yu had won!

Yes, the discerning could see: Su Yu had won, a complete victory!

Because Su Yu loved to stand on the moral high ground to suppress others, like Baizhan.

Baizhan could not resist, could not refuse!

To refuse would be treason.

Baizhan closed his eyes, then opened them quickly, looked at Su Yu, and forced a smile: "Then... I shall follow Brother Su's lead!"

Su Yu laughed loudly, "Thank you for your help, Brother Baizhan! This meeting fills my heart with joy! Then, in three months, we meet again in the human realm, to raise humanity's might and reunite the myriad worlds!"

With that, Su Yu strode through the void, his white robes like snow, poised and free, vanishing into the river of time in an instant.

At that moment, Baizhan watched his back.

Behind him, some were silent, some spoke not, and one, feeling a pang, muttered, "Your Majesty, then... we smash the Sin Clan in three months? We're not necessarily afraid of that kid. If he can do it in three months, with no interference from the myriad races, we can too!"

Wuji!

Changqing tugged at Wuji!

Fool!

Have you forgotten what His Majesty said earlier?

His Majesty's goal is not to smash Yüqing and the others!

Wuji grinned foolishly, but sighed inwardly. I know, but... but... I want to fight, I want to smash the Sin Clan!

Your Majesty... perhaps smashing them is also a way out!

Why not consider it?

Su Yu is willing to take one side—that's a good thing. Your Majesty, do you realize that if you keep refusing, and in three months Su Yu conquers the myriad races while you haven't... how will we old brothers face ourselves?

Wuji kept his foolish grin and said no more.

Su Yu... a true hero!
