Su Yu and the Human Emperor walked side by side, advancing toward the myriad realms.

Behind them, a host of powerful figures followed.

Many watched them, as if seeing the King Wen and the Human Emperor of old, just like this—and now, King Wen had entered the Heavenly Gate, while the Human Emperor had fought alone for many years. The old subordinates of the Human Emperor felt a surge of emotion.

Perhaps the Human Emperor was overjoyed by Su Yu's arrival. For the strong, the greatest fear is still loneliness—the solitude of standing against the world.

...

At this moment, the Human Emperor wore a smile, his hands clasped behind his back.

As he walked, he asked, "Now, do you intend to rely on the Heavenly Gate to restore your power of heaven and earth?"

After a pause, he considered and added, "Using the Heavenly Gate too much may not be a good thing. The stronger the projection of the Heavenly Gate, the more likely it is that top-tier experts will come after you through your Heavenly Gate phantom!"

Su Yu nodded slightly.

With a faint smile, he said, "Let's see how it goes."

Then Su Yu continued, "Your Majesty, if these three gates are opened, they probably aren't allies. I know something about the Heavenly Gate and the Earthly Gate. As for the Human Gate, what did the Immortal Emperor say earlier?"

Su Yu had only caught a fragment of it; he hadn't heard the rest.

The Human Emperor sighed softly. "He said the Human Gate is the most complex and treacherous... He himself doesn't truly know its strength, but he claimed the Human Gate has long been scheming—corrupting hearts, swaying the myriad races, with its hand in all of it."

The Human Emperor pondered for a moment before adding, "Yu, or Bai Zhan as you call him, even the Human Ancestor—all may have some connection to the Human Gate. Among the myriad races, there are also some powerful figures who have had contact with it."

Su Yu furrowed his brow slightly.

He truly had very little information about this Human Gate. Hearing this, he frowned and asked, "What kind of beings are inside the Human Gate? Could it be... that humans dwell within it?"

The Human Emperor shook his head. "For now, we know almost nothing about the Human Gate—its strength, its realm, its numbers. And we cannot delve deeper, because it lies downstream in the River of Time... logically, that means it exists in the future!"

He smiled bitterly. "That is to say, if you want to seek the Human Gate, the moment you see it, by the time you emerge, the world may have changed beyond recognition!"

Past, future, present.

Su Yu fell into thought. Among the three gates, the Heavenly Gate lies upstream in the River of Time—is that the past?

The Human Gate lies downstream—is that the future?

As for the Earthly Gate... it exists on a parallel plane with the myriad realms, so this is the present?

The past is singular, the present is singular, and the future is unpredictable.

If that is the case, then the Human Gate is indeed unfathomable, too mysterious.

Though Bai Zhan and the others had opened the Human Gate, Su Yu knew nothing of its specifics. The Human Ancestor likely had some connection to it, including Zhou Ji.

Su Yu didn't dwell on it further—there was simply too little information to draw any conclusions.

Seeing him shake his head, the Human Emperor smiled. "Don't worry too much! In truth, I have never feared the three gates. If the experts within them were truly strong, they would not have been sealed away! What I fear more is the master of the River of Time—that one is truly mysterious, truly powerful, and truly inscrutable!"

Su Yu frowned. "Does Your Majesty know anything about that master?"

"Nothing at all!"

The Human Emperor laughed. "Such an existence is terrifying! Everyone knows of him, cultivates within his domain, yet knows nothing about him—whether male or female, human or ghost, utterly unknown. Yet he is everywhere. Compared to him, what are the three gates?"

Su Yu nodded slightly, conceding the point.

The Human Emperor continued, "The opening of the three gates likely won't be long now. You just felt it too—the river has begun to surge. At this rate, in about ten years of the myriad realms' time, the three gates will fully open!"

Ten years. In truth, if Su Yu hadn't stirred things up or taken the initiative to open the upper realm, then in ten years, precisely when the upper realm would open, the Martial Emperor and the others would break free from their seals.

Everything would unfold in ten years.

At that time, the three gates would open, the upper realm would open, the strong would break free, and the Human Emperor would return...

Su Yu thought for a moment and asked, "Can we really have ten years? Now that many of the myriad races have died, their strong have been halved. On our side, with us leaving, the suppression is actually weaker than before."

Previously, the presence of strong figures in the River of Time had served as a form of suppression, delaying the opening of the three gates.

Now, though the human side had more experts, the myriad races had far fewer. With Su Yu and the Human Emperor returning, would there still be ten years?

The Human Emperor calculated and said, "Then at least five or six years—that's the minimum. So we still have at least five or six years to accumulate."

Su Yu considered this and nodded. "At least one or two years to accumulate."

The Human Emperor wanted to say, "Are you hearing things? I said five or six years!"

Su Yu added, "Maybe even less!"

"..."

The Human Emperor was speechless. Are you injured from the battle? Did water get into your head?

I said at least five or six years!

Su Yu continued, "When the three gates open, that won't be good. If we take the initiative to enter one gate and attack it, our people will withdraw, which might cause the gates to open sooner... So, probably only a year or two!"

Only then did the Human Emperor understand his meaning, and he couldn't help but laugh.

This kid was truly ruthless.

It was rare to see someone as proactive as Su Yu, who actively wanted to attack the three gates.

Others, upon hearing of the countless experts gathered in the ages past, would feel some worry and fear when mentioning the three gates. But Su Yu seemed not to know what fear was.

"Do you have a plan?"

He looked at Su Yu, who nodded. "The Earthly Gate!"

The Human Emperor raised an eyebrow slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "The Earthly Gate is indeed the weakest of the three gates in terms of era, but there is one thing... The Earthly Gate may not only have our infiltrators inside!"

"The situation in the Earthly Gate is somewhat complicated!"

The Human Emperor explained, "Because the Earthly Gate has opened before, in the Primordial Era and the Ancient Era, it was very chaotic. So within the Earthly Gate, there may even be people from the Heavenly Gate and the Human Gate who have infiltrated—perhaps not their true selves, but avatars or cultivated followers."

Among the three gates, the Earthly Gate was probably the weakest, but also the most chaotic.

For instance, the lineage of Prison King had thrived there.

Now, Su Yu had also driven Tian Gu and Zhou Ji inside, which would only make it more chaotic.

"Chaos is good!"

Su Yu laughed, but quickly asked, "The Earthly Gate... does it benefit us?"

He truly didn't know. Su Yu continued, "I mean, like the Great Dao in the Heavenly Gate, which can complement us. But as far as I know, most beings in the Earthly Gate are Chaos Ancient Clans, their Dao paths unclear, all following the Chaos Dao... So the benefits from the Earthly Gate wouldn't be great for us, would they? And even if the Earthly Gate opens, the benefits aren't that significant, right?"

Those from the Heavenly Gate who wanted to come out would gain great benefits.

But what about the Earthly Gate?

Su Yu had killed Chaos Ancient Clans from the Earthly Gate before. Aside from merging into heaven and earth and strengthening it a bit, he hadn't felt any particularly great benefit.

"There are benefits!"

The Human Emperor smiled. "We fought the Earthly Gate for many years and killed many Chaos Ancient Beasts. We have some understanding of it. The benefits of the Earthly Gate aren't as direct as those of the Heavenly Gate, but killing beings from the Earthly Gate is actually a process of strengthening the origin. I don't know if you've experienced this."

He explained, "When we devour our past and future selves, we either need a vessel or rely on our own strength to merge past and future and strengthen ourselves. But the self can hardly bear three selves. Even you and I haven't borne much. Killing Earthly Gate experts is actually a process of strengthening the origin of the self!"

Su Yu understood.

A slight flicker in his eyes. "You mean, by killing beings within the Earth Gate, if I kill enough—like me, who has already merged with one past self and one future self—then after slaying more beings in the Earth Gate, I can continue to summon past selves to strengthen myself?"

The past is unique, but there are many pasts at different points in time.

They can be summoned!

But Su Yu himself is not strong enough; he needs a vessel to bear it. Yet killing beings within the Earth Gate can actually strengthen the self—this changes everything!

The Human Emperor nodded, a smile spreading across his face.

At that moment, both of them laughed.

Laughter aside, the Human Emperor said, "Though the Earth Gate is the weakest of the three gates, it must never be underestimated. In my era, when the Earth Gate opened, Wen the Second and I were curious about the three gates and once considered exploring them... I never entered, but Wen the Second wanted to go inside the Earth Gate. He barely got in before he was thrown out!"

Su Yu was taken aback.

King Wen had been to the Earth Gate?

Quite bold!

That man was truly reckless, daring to enter both the Heaven Gate and the Earth Gate.

"That time, the one who struck at him was a powerful being within the Earth Gate, the Lord of Chaos. Of course, whether he truly was the master of the Chaos Era, no one knows. But he was immensely strong. Wen the Second didn't dare engage him rashly and chose to retreat!"

The Human Emperor explained further, then concluded, "So, do you still hold to your earlier idea of entering the Earth Gate ahead of time?"

Su Yu pondered for a moment. "It's hard to say right now. I'm wondering if my entry into the Earth Gate would cause the three gates to open prematurely... or should I first conduct a small-scale reconnaissance?"

Then he added, "And there's another extremely important matter I haven't completed yet..."

"What?"

"Rescuing someone!"

Su Yu's voice grew heavy. "The Time Master!"

This matter was crucial!

The Human Emperor was startled and couldn't help but look at Su Yu. "You..."

Su Yu exhaled. "I have to save her. Her situation isn't good. I am what I am today largely because the Time Master changed my life. More than King Wen, she is my true source of inheritance..."

The Path of the Brush, Su Yu had only dabbled in it for a while. The Time Master's Time Book was the key to his creation of the heavens.

Su Yu still remembered how, in her sleep, the Time Master had vaguely conveyed some information to him—she was crying.

She said King Wen was about to die...

Su Yu was speechless. King Wen hadn't died after all!

Indeed, a woman's mouth is a deceiving ghost.

As for the Time Master's current situation, Su Yu had gained some insights from his return to this place. She might have been captured by some supreme being. Captured but not killed—or unable to be killed—this was something Su Yu found peculiar.

Since they clearly knew that King Wen and Martial King were not weak, why not either release her outright or kill her directly, denying King Wen any chance? Why drag it out, not killing the Time Master even now? What was the point?

Also, the Time Master's entry into the Heaven Gate back then was likely a trap, or perhaps something lured her. She knew the danger, yet she still went.

Thoughts surged one after another. Su Yu spoke again, "I might go to the Heaven Gate first. It may not be my true self, but a clone. Your Majesty said you once projected yourself in and were driven out, correct?"

The Human Emperor nodded. "I encountered a formidable opponent. Later, to avoid revealing the location of my Heaven Gate to that bastard, I stopped trying. Mainly because my Heaven Gate projection might have been in that fellow's territory, so I didn't bother fighting him, and I haven't had the energy to do so over the years."

He looked at Su Yu and said softly, "You want to save Wen Yu... that girl... she was always fond of mischief. If you can truly save her, that would be wonderful. But if there's no way... let Wen the Second bear it for now!"

Su Yu's true self could not enter. Once inside the Heaven Gate, it was easy to enter but hard to leave, and trouble would follow.

What good could a mere clone do?

But since Su Yu insisted, the Human Emperor could not dissuade him. Wen Yu's Time Book had indeed profoundly influenced Su Yu, and the Human Emperor could see Wen Yu's shadow in Su Yu's world.

Now, as Su Yu brought up the Time Master, he wanted to learn more and asked, "Does Your Majesty know anything about the Time Master's situation? How strong was she? She didn't create her own world, so did she connect to the power of the Great Dao?"

"Wen Yu..."

Speaking of the girl in his memory, the Human Emperor smiled. "A very lively girl! Back then, when Wen the Second and I were conquering the realm, she and Xingyue kept each other company. She was younger than Xingyue but far more restless. Xingyue had a gentle nature, but Wen Yu was different—she was a real troublemaker!"

Speaking of the Time Master, the Human Emperor couldn't help but laugh. "She was never still since childhood. When Wen the Second and I went out to battle, we left her and Xingyue with Wen the Second. Xingyue could stay put, but not Wen Yu. She often sneaked out. Since we had killed many ancient beasts from the Earth Gate, she ate quite a few of them. She was a bit gluttonous and insisted on going out to gather ingredients herself to cook..."

Su Yu's mouth twitched. Was this the origin of the recipe?

The Human Emperor continued with a smile, "She was as talented as Wen the Second. At first, Wen the Second and I intended for her to follow the orthodox path of cultivation. But later, in her mischief, she created what she called the Time Book, or rather, the recipe."

"Back then, she had already found her own path..."

The Human Emperor sighed. "She was truly gifted. Perhaps because she had seen much with us, she didn't want to follow the beaten track of opening a path and merging with it. She said the myriad realms covered by the River of Time were like a farm, where you could eat whatever you wanted. So she wanted to start her own farm!"

Su Yu's eyes flickered.

The Human Emperor laughed. "Don't mind it. I know you might make connections, but calling it a farm is an exaggeration. Tell me, do you treat your own world as a farm?"

Su Yu thought for a moment and said nothing.

The Human Emperor went on, "Later, she began to refine her recipe, intending to create a new world. Wen the Second and I supported her. At that time, both of us had similar ideas, but we were different from Wen Yu. We first opened a path, then created a world!"

"Wen Yu didn't open a path. According to her plan, she would directly create a world!"

Su Yu imagined it and nodded. "The Time Master was formidable and decisive. Creating a world directly and forging the Time Book were both remarkable feats!"

The Human Emperor smiled again. "But she was too restless, always collecting corpses everywhere. Wen the Second and I had no choice but to pretend not to know her. Back then, the myriad realms had just been pacified, and her corpse-collecting could easily provoke rebellion among the myriad races. So she dared not reveal her identity. Later, everyone called her the Time Master, and she accepted it."

"She didn't create a world, so how strong was she?"

Su Yu asked. The Human Emperor thought for a moment and said, "Not weak! At her peak, using the Time Book, she probably had strength close to the first rank!"

Seeing Su Yu's look, the Human Emperor chuckled. "You think she wasn't strong?"

"You have to understand, in that era, how many first-rank beings were there? Just me, Wen the Second, and Martial King barely crossed into the first rank. Bright King was only at the peak of the second rank back then... At that time, her strength could rank among the top ten in the myriad realms!"

The Human Emperor sighed and continued, "Later, her Time Book gradually improved, and she also had the idea of creating a world. Her ambition was not small. We had long advised her to create a world early... but she refused, saying the myriad paths were incomplete and her insights shallow. She wanted more insights and to collect more paths, aiming to create a world in one go and surpass Wen the Second and me!"

Su Yu gasped. "That ambition... it's truly immense! I merged her Time Book, but I never thought she could reach such heights after creating a world. Still, if she had created a world herself, reaching the first rank would have been no problem."

That was already terrifying!

But it still fell short of the Time Master's requirements.

The Human Emperor laughed. "The Time Book she sent out... do you think it was the original?"

Su Yu was stunned. What did he mean?

The Human Emperor smiled. "Wen Yu's core power was all in the Time Book. If she had truly sent out the original and you destroyed it, she would have fallen to the Sun-Moon realm long ago and died. She might have sent a copy or a duplicate."

Su Yu was taken aback.

Surely not?

The Human Emperor explained, "Wen Yu was clever and mischievous. She wasn't the type to just cry and mope. She would try to save herself. Knowing she was in danger, how could she entrust all her hope to something that might fail? So your Time Book might be a copy. You said Xing came out with the Time Book, right?"

Su Yu nodded.

The Human Emperor smiled. "How could Xing have come out with the Time Book? If Wen Yu really used the Time Book to tear open the Heaven Gate for a moment, she would have been fighting a powerful enemy. How could Xing have had the strength to follow her out?"

Su Yu was stunned again. On one hand, the Human Emperor's words left him bewildered; on the other hand, this man was not exactly respectful to his own ancestor.

But the Human Emperor paid no heed and continued, "So, Wen Yu might have had her own plans. There was certainly danger, or she wouldn't have created the Time Book. But since Wen the Second is still alive, Wen Yu won't fall so quickly."

Su Yu raised an eyebrow. "Your Majesty means the Time Master has her own arrangements?"

"Certainly."

The Human Emperor looked at Su Yu and smiled. “Aren’t you that very thing?”

“Me?”

Su Yu was lost in thought. The Human Emperor chuckled. “What’s wrong? Are you not her contingency plan? Look—haven’t you risen?”

Su Yu gave a bitter smile. True.

“But back then, I saw some of her imprints… she was crying…”

The Human Emperor sighed helplessly. “What’s so strange about that? The crying child gets the milk—just a bit of sympathy-seeking. When Wen Yu collects corpses, she even sheds a tear or two—a fake cry, a moment of mourning—but I’ve never seen her hesitate to devour ancient beasts.”

“…”

Su Yu bared his teeth and was speechless for a long while.

Holy crap!

Really?

Fake crying?

That can’t be, right?

Regarding Wen King’s younger sister, Su Yu was at a loss for words. After a long pause, he finally said, “Then she’s probably living quite comfortably now, isn’t she?”

“That shouldn’t be the case.”

The Human Emperor even laughed. “But she likely isn’t that miserable either, so don’t let her mislead you!”

Su Yu was exasperated!

These days, indeed, you have to play up your suffering. And here I was thinking the Time Master was about to die, crying so pitifully—I’d better hurry and save her.

“Of course, these are just my speculations. Maybe she really is in danger.”

The Human Emperor added that, just in case it wasn’t true and Su Yu misjudged.

Su Yu was speechless. No kidding—I know you’re speculating.

…

As they talked, the group had already arrived at the Ten Thousand Realms.

Tearing through the void, Su Yu and his companions entered the Upper Realm.

At that moment, Su Yu also saw the Human Emperor’s realm, shimmering with golden light. Some powerful figures remained stationed there.

Yun Xiao and the others hadn’t followed. Now, seeing Su Yu return, the few who had been on alert all breathed a sigh of relief. Yun Xiao hurried forward and said, “That scared me to death, Your Majesty! Earlier, your realm was shaking so badly that the Realm Monitor almost rolled its eyes and died. Are you all right?”

“I’m fine!”

Su Yu smiled, then looked at the Human Emperor. “Let’s each return to our own. You stabilize your realm, I’ll stabilize mine. As for the Heavenly Kings and Heavenly Venerables, have them merge into your realm as soon as possible. For now, I don’t need them here.”

The Human Emperor nodded, thought for a moment, and said, “Alright. If you want to enter the Heaven Gate, let me know in advance.”

He added gravely, “Don’t slip in silently—it could cause trouble.”

“Got it.”

Su Yu waved his hand and stepped into his own realm.

Behind him, as the group was about to step in, Yun Xiao exclaimed in surprise, “Dingjun, what are you doing here? Your home is with His Majesty the Human Emperor!”

“…”

Marquis Dingjun felt like spitting blood!

But on second thought—damn, it’s true. I continued my Dao in the Human Emperor’s realm. Going to Su Yu’s realm would be utterly useless!

For a moment, those who had merged their Dao into the Human Emperor’s realm were all frustrated.

Ming King and War King were also at a loss.

Two realms, but now everything was chaotic and indistinct. He and War King had even merged into Su Yu’s realm.

But the key was that they weren’t very familiar with Su Yu, and they still had to go to the Human Emperor’s realm to oversee major matters.

For a time, no one knew where they should go.

…

Su Yu, however, paid no attention to all this.

After this battle, he was badly wounded and needed to heal, to stabilize his realm lest it truly collapse.

Since it hadn’t collapsed, Su Yu wouldn’t deliberately let it fall apart.

Earlier, he had no choice but to think of sending everyone to the Human Emperor’s side.

This time, he had killed many, but the gains weren’t as great as expected.

Still, there were some benefits: War King had reached the First Rank, Grand Zhou King had reached the First Rank, Ming King had merged his Dao, War King had merged his Dao…

One after another, multiple First-Rank cultivators emerged, and their First-Rank Dao insights merged into the realm. If Su Yu’s realm weren’t so damaged, he would certainly have improved—at the very least, with a few more First-Rank cultivators, he could increase his own power within the realm by several Daos.

Su Yu entered the Human Sovereign Seal and began his period of recuperation.

This time, it would take him a while to recover—maybe a month or so. In the Upper Stream, only a day had passed, and he had promised to resolve the myriad races within three months. Coincidentally, in the Ten Thousand Realms, nearly three months had gone by.

…

At this moment, both Su Yu and the Human Emperor were resting and recovering.

At the same time.

Elsewhere, others were preparing for the opening of the three gates.

Inside the Earth Gate.

Deep in Chaos.

The might of the Human Emperor’s earlier punch had shaken all directions, dampening the Earth Gate’s momentum. The morale that had been eager to break out had suddenly waned.

And just then, from the depths, a voice laughed: “Envoy of the Human Gate, requesting an audience with the Chaos Lord!”

As the voice sounded, a shadowy figure instantly materialized.

The figure looked outward, toward the distant silhouette, and spoke with a hoarse, indifferent tone: “Can you represent the Human Gate?”

“Perhaps I can.”

The shadow—the Chaos Lord—remained noncommittal and said flatly, “State your business.”

“The three gates are about to open, reappearing in the Ten Thousand Realms! The Heaven Gate and Human Gate cannot be entered or exited for now, but the Earth Gate already has a crack. In the Ten Thousand Realms, the Human Emperor, Wen King, and Su Yu are all monstrous talents… If these people are not eliminated, the Ten Thousand Realms will be hard to pacify…”

The Chaos Lord remained aloof, waiting for the other to finish, then said calmly, “Over the years, you are not the first envoy from the Human Gate, and I believe you will not be the last. But every time, it’s the same old story. Change the tune! What benefits? What interests? What can you offer me?”

In the distance, the silhouette smiled. “Benefits there are, naturally. If the Chaos Lord is willing to forcibly open the Earth Gate now and first attack the Ten Thousand Realms, then once the Human Gate opens, it can help the Chaos Lord resist the Heaven Gate. The Heaven Gate has many powerful figures, multiple lords of forbidden lands. Though the Chaos Lord is strong, within the Heaven Gate, you would likely be just another lord of a forbidden land…”

The Chaos Lord was unruffled. “So the Earth Gate is the vanguard, and your Human Gate hides behind to reap the harvest? A lovely thought. The Heaven Gate has many powerful figures—so what? The Earth Gate is the weakest, the Human Gate the most mysterious. If they want to strike, the Heaven Gate will go after the Human Gate first, not my Earth Gate.”

Then, with a weary tone, the Chaos Lord added, “Stop with these empty promises. They mean nothing!”

“Then what does the Chaos Lord want?”

The silhouette laughed. “We can negotiate terms. We ask for little—just that the Earth Gate opens first, so as not to give the Human Emperor and Su Yu more time. They are stalling. The longer they delay, the more advantageous it is for them. If the Chaos Lord knows anything about them, you should realize I speak the truth. Perhaps three years, perhaps five, and they will have grown by leaps and bounds!”

The Chaos Lord was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, “I want the Ten Thousand Dao Stone.”

The figure was slightly startled, then said in surprise, “Chaos Lord… you jest! Besides, you do not walk the Ten Thousand Paths—why would you need the Ten Thousand Paths Stone?”

The Chaos Lord replied calmly, “Is it not permitted? In ages past, the one who opened the River of Time, who opened the Ten Thousand Realms, using the Human Gate as foundation—on that day, I saw it: the origin of the Ten Thousand Paths, the place of foundation, where some Ten Thousand Paths Stones appeared, which should have fallen into the Human Gate… Since you wish to cooperate, bring this in exchange!”

The figure gave a bitter smile: “This… even if there were any, they would have been used up long ago! That is a supreme treasure—whoever obtains it would not keep it unused?”

The Chaos Lord said calmly, “That is not my concern. If you want our Earth Gate to be your pathfinder stone, then bring this in exchange! Over the years, whether from your side, the Heaven Gate, or even the Ten Thousand Realms, people have entered the Earth Gate! That rift—was it not also deliberately created by you? I have been too lazy to bother… Do as you please! But if you want me to exert myself for you… at least three Ten Thousand Paths Stones!”

The figure was nearly suffocating, and after a long while said, “That one who opened the heavens, opened the paths, opened the Ten Thousand Realms—the origin was indeed at the Human Gate, but back then, not many Ten Thousand Paths Stones appeared…”

“There were none back then!”

The Chaos Lord said in a deep voice, “The Ten Thousand Paths Stones of that time were Origin Stones! But over these years, the River of Time has flowed from upstream to downstream, gathering the power of the Ten Thousand Paths. There should be many Ten Thousand Paths Stones formed by the convergence of that power—these are considered Ten Thousand Paths Rule Stones… I want one Origin Stone to comprehend the great path rules of that one, and the other two can be given to me as Ten Thousand Paths Rule Stones!”

“This… I cannot decide.”

“Then get lost!”

The Chaos Lord said with utter indifference, “If you cannot decide, why have you come? Send someone qualified to see me. Next time, if you are unqualified… and come to disturb me again…”

Boom!

A claw shot out, and the distant figure shattered directly. Not only that, a strand of Chaos Force spread out, reaching who knows where, and suddenly a muffled groan came. The Chaos Lord’s voice remained indifferent, traveling along that strand of Chaos Force: “You heard that too. This time, it is but a small punishment. Give me what I want, and I will consider it. Otherwise… there is no need to talk further.”

With these words, the Chaos Lord’s phantom vanished.

Within the entire Gate of Hell, silence once again descended.

…

At the same time.

Within the Heaven Gate.

A great mountain stood between heaven and earth, spanning the void, radiating for millions of miles.

Within the mountain, it was like a world of its own.

All living things dwelled in this great mountain, living in this forbidden land.

This great mountain, like a star, emitted a faint radiance.

Eternal Life Mountain!

It had grown powerful for countless ages, immortal and indestructible, forbidding the approach of the living.

But today, a white figure appeared between heaven and earth, standing atop the mountain peak. His voice carried a smile, spreading out to cover this vast Eternal Life Mountain.

“Fa! Return my sister, or I swear I will raze Eternal Life Mountain! For so many years, you have not been able to kill me, so sooner or later I will kill you. Do not be ungrateful!”

“How dare you!”

“You seek death!”

“Kill!”

Within Eternal Life Mountain, one powerful figure after another emerged, swiftly charging toward the King of Wen.

For many years, they had been fighting these two, familiar with them. Seeing him come again, Eternal Life Mountain showed not much panic, only anger—this fellow was too bold!

He dared to approach the forbidden land directly!

The King of Wen was strong, but this was Eternal Life Mountain!

In the void, the King of Wen looked at them and laughed, “In the past, I feared disturbing the heavens and earth, with the Heaven Gate open, and did not wish to contend with you. Do you truly think yourselves someone?”

As he spoke, a pair of white shoes appeared between heaven and earth. He kicked out, and the white shoes instantly materialized before a powerful figure. In the blink of an eye, with a bang, they directly kicked his head to pieces!

The pursuers were all stunned, then filled with terror.

How could this be!

At that moment, within Eternal Life Mountain, a surge of aura rose. The King of Wen’s eyes flickered, and he laughed, “Fa, come out! Let me play with you!”

In an instant, a figure materialized out of thin air, looked at the King of Wen, and said indifferently, “You have grown bolder.”

As if chatting casually, his tone was also calm, and he walked step by step toward the King of Wen. “Do you wish to die?”

The King of Wen smiled brightly: “A little!”

With that, the King of Wen vanished from the spot instantly.

And that figure, watching him leave, raised an eyebrow slightly. His eyes were as brilliant as the sun and moon, and as he watched him flee, he said softly, “You want to lure me away? Then I shall accompany you for a stroll.”

He took a step forward, and golden lotuses bloomed under his feet. In an instant, he crossed the void, a step covering millions of miles. In the blink of an eye, the King of Wen’s figure appeared before him again.

Ahead, the King of Wen smiled, turned back to look at him, his smile radiant: “Fa, tell me, who ordered you to trap my sister? I can let you die in peace!”

The one called Fa, the master of Eternal Life Mountain, said softly, “First kill me, then talk!”

With lotuses under his feet, Fa took a step and closed in on the King of Wen again.

But the King of Wen did not stop; he fled swiftly through the void. Fa chased for a while, then suddenly halted!

At the same time, in the distance, a world like a pitch-black abyss of hell appeared.

Just then, a grand voice resounded: “You two, do you want to die? I do not seek you out, yet you dare come to my domain—do you both wish for death?”

A figure, immensely powerful and exuding a deathly aura, materialized!

The Lord of the Dead!

Behind him, Fa frowned slightly. What was the King of Wen trying to do?

This fellow was not easy to deal with.

Coming to his territory would only make the situation more chaotic!

But the King of Wen laughed and spoke: “Lord of the Dead, help me kill him!”

“…”

In the distance, the Lord of the Dead thought he was mad.

Who do you think you are?

Do I need to listen to you?

Even within this Heaven Gate, he was a top-tier overlord. Not to mention the King of Wen, even this Fa had no right to act arrogantly before him!

The King of Wen laughed: “What are you looking at? I have already contacted the outside world. Su Yu’s power grows day by day. I am having him break your Death Spirit Path. Do you still want to return and continue to hold the Death Spirit Path? If you are not afraid of it being severed, then do not help me!”

The Lord of the Dead laughed in anger: “You mean that bastard? Does he have that ability? Not to mention him, even if you go out, what can you do?”

The King of Wen laughed again: “He has mastered the Path of Life and Death and opened the heavens. Did you know that?”

“…”

The Lord of the Dead fell silent instantly.

The King of Wen said darkly, “I have not opened Life and Death, so naturally I cannot do anything to you. But… once Life and Death is opened, your path is not unbreakable. Do not pretend to be invincible. If you were outside, he would naturally be no match for you, but now you are not there, are you? Consider this: kill Fa, and we can have a good talk!”

The Lord of the Dead sneered: “Threatening me? Then let that fellow try! Even if he opens the Death Spirit Path, so what? I have opened the path for countless ages—how could he influence it?”

“You… are boring!”

The King of Wen laughed, then vanished swiftly. “Forget it, do as you please. Fa, continue—come chase me!”

Fa raised an eyebrow slightly. What exactly was the King of Wen up to?

Chase? Not easy to chase.

This fellow, though weaker in strength, had many tricks and was swift.

He had thought his hope lay with the Lord of the Dead, but no—he seemed merely to be passing through.

For a moment, Fa hesitated.

After a moment's thought, Fa vanished from the spot, returning to Eternal Mountain. As for King Wen... let him run; there was no need to chase—he would come back sooner or later!

Not far off, the Lord of the Dead also glanced at the two, then, after a long pause, disappeared.

At the same time, King Wen halted, a hint of a smile on his face. Soon, he turned back and flew toward Eternal Mountain!

Fa, I'll have some fun with you.

All these years, you've caused me no small amount of trouble.

Before the Heavenly Gate opens, I must get rid of this nuisance quickly.

PS: Only one chapter today. I need to consider the next plot. The Three Gates plot might be the last major one; I've had no time to think. This chapter is a lead-in to the next plot. Starting a new plot is the most troublesome; I must think it over carefully.
