Chapter 907: No One Is Idle

At this moment, Su Yu swiftly caught up with the Lord of the Dead, who was dashing ahead at a furious pace.

Su Yu, however, followed just as quickly, complaining slightly, “Why did you have to fight for real?”

It was all an act!

“None of your damn business!”

The Lord of the Dead sneered, “I have roamed heaven and earth, never once defeated. A mere Kong dares to wound me? Not killing him is already a courtesy!”

“Such a hot temper!”

Su Yu shook his head.

What’s the big deal about losing one battle?

Why so stubborn?

Look, if you keep this up, you’ll take a nasty fall!

The Lord of the Dead sneered, “Hot temper? In the old days, I’d have obliterated his entire clan!”

Su Yu advised, “Anger harms the body. Dealing with these fellows isn’t that hard—why resort to brute force?”

“I’m not as cowardly as you!”

“That’s not something I like to hear!” Su Yu narrowed his eyes with a smile. “This is what they call lying low when the time calls for it!”

The Lord of the Dead didn’t argue further and asked, “Is it settled?”

“Almost!”

The Lord of the Dead was startled—truly settled?

Such efficiency was hardly ordinary.

“Did the Gate sense it?”

“Not sure. Even if it did, so what?”

Su Yu dismissed it: “With your stir this time, even if those inside the Gate know something happened to Fa, who would dare come out? And if they do, would anyone believe their words? Just lie low for a few days and wait for the Forbidden Ground Assembly!”

The Lord of the Dead suddenly flared up: “Am I the one stirring things up like you?”

Damn!

Who are you talking about?

I’ve been rooted here for countless ages—how many times have I fought?

You, this bastard, have been here a few days, and how many times have you fought?

I only wanted to wait peacefully for the Heavenly Gate to open and return to fully merge the two heavens, but you—you’re causing trouble every day!

First you killed the Lord of Falling Soul Valley, finished off the Soul Lord, slew the Demon Ancestor, and now you’ve done in Fa, and you’re already plotting for the Forbidden Ground Assembly in seven days. You bastard, tell me—who’s really stirring things up?

Su Yu defended himself, “I have a purpose, not just playing the hero!”

“Get lost!”

The Lord of the Dead roared, “Scram!”

Su Yu paid no mind. He glanced toward Eternal Life Mountain, calculated the time, and said, “I’d better go now—pressed for time. See you in seven days. We’ll act as the occasion demands. I’ll show up then; not showing up wouldn’t be right… That’s it!”

With that, he rose into the air, ready to leave.

The Lord of the Dead frowned slightly, “Did I ever agree to go in seven days?”

Su Yu ignored him and vanished in an instant.

“…”

You bastard!

The Lord of the Dead cursed under his breath—what did that mean?

…

Su Yu didn’t bother with the Lord of the Dead anymore.

Whether he came or not, what had to be done would be done. Besides, Su Yu believed he would come. In this era of chaos, as a hegemon, the Lord of the Dead wouldn’t sit idly by while the storm raged.

This time, perhaps more would come than anyone imagined.

Shi, who had never appeared; Qiong, who never descended the mountain; Kong, just repelled…

And who was the strongest spokesperson of the Human Gate within the Heavenly Gate?

The matter of Black Moon hadn’t been dealt with yet… and did Black Moon even know?

Maybe yes, maybe no.

Black Moon couldn’t be killed rashly; if killed, that spokesperson of the Human Gate might find out.

Who was the boss of the Human Gate here?

Shi… that top-tier existence who had never shown up—he was the prime suspect.

Thoughts flickered through Su Yu’s mind one after another.

After flying swiftly for a while, he spotted Eternal Life Mountain.

At this moment, Eternal Life Mountain was very quiet.

When Su Yu landed, the six vein masters were all wounded.

Seeing Su Yu return, they quickly bowed. Su Yu asked gravely, “Has the Law Master returned?”

He has.

The six vein masters answered in unison. Soon, the Rain Vein Master hurriedly said, “The Law Master said he was injured and needed to suppress the heavens and earth, waiting for the Forbidden Ground Assembly in a few days… So all trivial matters within the mountain are entrusted to the Sun-Moon Vein Master!”

“What about those three?”

“They’ve been killed!”

Su Yu was a bit surprised, “The commotion wasn’t big—I thought they might have escaped.”

“Thanks to the Law Master!”

The Rain Vein Master quickly added, “The Fist Saint almost got away—we weren’t strong enough. But the Law Master happened to return, unleashed the Myriad Laws Domain, locked onto him, and killed him!”

The Literary King was badly wounded, but dealing with the Fist Saint, who was also heavily injured, was still easy—he slew him outright.

At this moment, the six vein masters seemed hesitant to speak.

Su Yu frowned, “Is there something to say?”

The Rain Vein Master thought for a moment, then transmitted, “Brother Sun-Moon, Wen Yu has been suppressed… along with the Martial King. Also, Fa Tian has been suppressed… We reported earlier, and the Law Master’s intent was that we need not worry about anything—everything is to be handled by you, Brother Sun-Moon… As for Fa Tian…”

Su Yu looked at her, puzzled—were you pleading for him?

That didn’t seem like you.

“What are you thinking?”

“Brother Sun-Moon, don’t misunderstand. I meant… does the Holy Land have any new plans? Should our Eternal Life Mountain return to the Heavenly Gate? Will you, Brother Sun-Moon, settle here in Eternal Life Mountain in the future, or…”

Su Yu stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and laughed, “You’re afraid that while I’m here, I’ll kill Fa Tian, then wash my hands of it and leave, and you’ll be in trouble?”

"Yes!

That's exactly what I mean!

Anyway you look at it, this is the son of the Dharma Lord, now suppressed. Though it was Su Yu who did it, everyone knows his identity is unusual. If he leaves, what if the Dharma Lord takes his anger out on us?

This time, the Dharma Lord's return feels different from before.

Also, this Sun-Moon is no ordinary being—likely possessing thirty-one paths of power, a top-tier existence. Otherwise, even if Faltian was somewhat of a fool, he was still a thirty-path powerhouse, and Sun-Moon sent him spitting blood with a single palm strike!

At this point, the six vein lords have many thoughts.

So many thoughts!

For instance, is Sun-Moon a high-ranking member of the Holy Land?

Or... is this Sun-Moon not from the Holy Land at all, but... an existence they dare not imagine?

Or something else!

In short, these matters have exceeded their ability to resolve, so they all stop thinking about them. Including the suppression of Wen Yu—why suppress the Martial King instead of killing him?

To leave a future threat?

There's no word on whether the Wen King is alive or dead.

Also, the Dharma Lord's injury... is it serious or not?

Such things... they dare not speculate.

Just do their own part!

At this stage, they can no longer see through the situation in Eternal Life Mountain!

Truly cannot see through!

Even though they are the high-ranking members of Eternal Life Mountain, the Dharma Lord returned, said nothing, and handed all authority to Sun-Moon... what does that mean?

The Dharma is not that kind of person!

At this moment, they haven't yet considered that the Dharma might have been replaced, for after all, he is the master of a forbidden land, immensely powerful. If something truly happened, the commotion would not be small, but with the commotion stirred by the Lord of the Dead and others, the disturbance here has been minor.

If the Dharma died, they still think it impossible... perhaps the Dharma Lord has other intentions?

Anyway, no matter what, at this moment, they are all somewhat flustered and anxious, uncertain of the future.

Su Yu smiled: "What's there to fear? Once the Dharma Lord fuses with Wen Yu, everything will naturally be fine!"

Saying this, Su Yu chuckled darkly: "Why do you worry about so much? Rest assured, I won't cause you trouble. You can be at ease!"

Su Yu laughed: "As long as this forbidden land assembly succeeds... Master Fa becomes the most powerful figure within the sect... no great power... need be feared!"

His words grew increasingly difficult for them to understand, but they caught a hint: if this succeeds, Eternal Life Mountain might become a transcendent existence!

"We understand!"

The several hurriedly nodded. At this moment, they were all wounded. To kill the three great powerhouses, and earlier to deal with Wen Yu and the others, they had suffered heavy injuries, and some had even died!

The six vein lords had not perished, but two or three first-class existences had died, and a dozen or so below first-class had fallen!

Su Yu cared little about this.

Dead is dead!

Within the sect, even some of those who had continued their paths in his heaven had died. Last time he went into extinction, some couldn't bear the cost of sudden path annihilation and were shattered by the impact, but Su Yu paid no heed.

Such is the way here!

Such are the rules!

This is a bloody world, an apocalypse!

Thus, Su Yu does not like this place at all, and he does not wish for the myriad realms to become like this, even though the myriad realms are filled with countless ugliness and even evil—still far better than here.

In the myriad realms, even among the myriad races, these enemies actually value emotions.

Friendship, kinship, racial bonds.

For their race, Tiangu and others could kneel and beg for mercy, could journey far away.

The Immortal Emperor and his kind, to preserve the greatest resistance, could sacrifice themselves for those they had schemed against in daily life.

But here, there is only selfishness!

Absolutely no emotion. Sun-Moon is the most faithful being Su Yu has ever seen; for others, whoever is stronger becomes their master, regardless of whether that strong one killed their previous master!

Even now, if Su Yu told them, "Kill and be done with it!"

Of course, on the Sword Venerable's side, he still dotes on his son, a rare exception.

Heavenly Dome Mountain is also an anomaly; the master of Heavenly Dome Mountain, because of the Sword Venerable's matter, tacitly allowed Su Yu to borrow power several times, treating the Sword Venerable fairly well.

...

Su Yu looked at the six vein lords and said no more. He spoke: "Clean up. In a few days, the forbidden land assembly will begin. Don't let others see a joke!"

Su Yu said flatly: "Also, shatter all the path power of the fallen existences and fill it into the forbidden land! Master Fa is injured; let him recover a little!"

"Yes!"

They quickly nodded.

Su Yu thought for a moment and asked: "Give me a detailed dossier on those three sect powerhouses!"

"Yes!"

Su Yu nodded: "I'll go see Master Fa... Also, seal the forbidden land for seven days. No one may enter or leave until the day of the forbidden land assembly. Violators will be killed without mercy!"

"Yes!"

They acknowledged.

Su Yu quickly flew toward the peak of Eternal Life Mountain.

After he left, the Death Vein Lord, who had been silent, suddenly transmitted: "Everyone..."

They all looked at him at once. The Death Vein Lord paused, then transmitted: "Never mind. I hope... the Dharma Lord is fine!"

Their expressions shifted slightly.

That hope... was laden with meaning!

The Dharma Lord...

They turned back, looking toward the mountain peak, saying nothing.

Wasn't the Dharma Lord merely injured?

After devouring Wen Yu, he should recover quickly, right?

But the Death Vein Lord's words carried a deeper implication.

The Death Vein Lord said no more, but cold sweat trickled down his back. He would say nothing more, for there was nothing left to say.

Was the Dharma Lord still the Dharma Lord?

He dared not think about it!

He was a veteran vein lord, an ancient existence. He knew the Dharma Lord's aura, his appearance, everything about him!"

He commands the path of death!

He predates even those masters of the necrotic path in the Netherworld, his seniority far greater. Deathly aura, to him, is an exquisitely keen sense of life force!

The returned Dharma Lord—his life force is off!

Not the leakage of vitality from injury, no, that’s not it… but rather a manifestation of life force, somewhat peculiar, no longer that heavy, gloomy feel. Those within the gate, no matter how strong, all carry a hint of extinction!

All bear a scent of ruin!

Yet the returned Dharma Lord… in truth, does not!

And Sun and Moon, likewise, do not. But before, he thought it was because the other came from the Holy Land, a Holy Land powerhouse, perhaps special—after all, this one seemed to hold no low rank there.

But now, seeing even the faint deathly aura on the Dharma Lord vanish, the Lord of the Deadly Vein was truly terrified!

He dared not think further!

Too dreadful!

No matter how well the other feigned, even if he used the Myriad Realms Domain to slay the Fist Saint, and others believed it wholeheartedly, he could not bring himself to believe.

…

The Hall of Myriad Realms.

Su Yu entered, the great doors wide open. The Civil King no longer maintained his Dharma Lord guise, reverting to his true form, somewhat weakened. He looked at Su Yu and smiled.

“Didn’t you chat more with your sister?”

Su Yu was surprised.

The Civil King chuckled lightly: “There’s plenty of time. I gave her the Myriad Realms Scroll… You could also devour it, but I didn’t give it to you—I hope you don’t mind!”

Su Yu waved a hand, indifferent to that.

He could devour it, and devouring it might even let him impact more paths of power, but he came to save the Time Master—what business was it to swallow heaven and earth?

The Civil King sighed: “Wasted thousands of years… a hundred thousand years have passed across the myriad realms. If not for your intervention this time… time wears a man down; suddenly, I feel truly old!”

Su Yu smiled: “Not old at all?”

The Civil King laughed heartily!

Su Yu sat down beside the low table, tossing a bottle of wine over: “Your sister brewed it—tastes good. I asked for a few extra bottles. Let’s drink together. I never liked it before, but now I’ve grown fond of it!”

The Civil King caught the wine, smiling: “She’s indeed skilled at such things. In the past, when you saw us, you’d always call us ‘senior’… but now, why do you keep calling her ‘your sister’?”

He felt Su Yu was almost cursing him!

Su Yu took a sip, grinning: “When I went through hell and high water to save her, and she was munching on lamb chops, all my reverence turned into a blaze of fury! Senior my foot! Senior, my ass!”

Su Yu ground his teeth: “It’s already a courtesy that I didn’t give her a beating!”

The Civil King laughed: “She’s always been that carefree. Even with me, I lingered here for thousands of years just to save her, and the moment we met, she took the Myriad Realms Scroll and kicked me out…”

He added: “But she means no harm. She’s kind-hearted. Since childhood, she loved flowers and grass, couldn’t even bear to kill a dog…”

Su Yu corrected: “The flowers and grass were planted at Xingyue’s urging—convenient for burying corpses after killing people and myriad races, using them as fertilizer for the plants. She liked Feiqiu because that dog was capable, helping her cook and prepare meals… I think she only knows how to eat. Even when dying, she’d probably forget nothing but food!”

“…”

The Civil King laughed again, nodded, took a sip of wine, and said: “My physical body is shattered, my boots broken. I’m afraid I can no longer channel the power of heaven and earth. Without summoning the realm, I can barely maintain 31 paths now… I fear I’ll be unable to participate in your upcoming plans.”

A sigh, tinged with melancholy.

The boots Su Yu had brought were shattered this time.

His body was severely wounded!

Before, he could still contend with 32-path beings; now, if he truly encountered one, he likely couldn’t match them.

“No matter… Wenyu absorbed heaven and earth. Even if the Dharma consumed seventy percent of its power, it can be replenished quickly. Not to mention 36 paths—at the very least, recovering to peak, 35 paths should be possible, right?”

Su Yu smiled: “Then we won’t need you anymore!”

The Civil King gave a wry smile, somewhat helpless.

He continued drinking, and as he drank, he chuckled: “That recording you made earlier…”

“What?”

The Civil King sighed: “Why bother?”

“What thing?”

“…”

The Civil King was resigned, then soon laughed again: “Fine, fine. I won’t admit it’s me—that doesn’t matter. No one will believe it anyway!”

Su Yu nodded: “If an ordinary person says it, no one believes. But I’m different—I have credibility!”

“…”

The Civil King laughed once more, said nothing more, drank a few cups, then asked: “What do you plan to do?”

“Join forces with all the forbidden lands. Let Wenyu be the leader, lead us to slay the Human Emperor, butcher the Civil King, annihilate the myriad realms…”

“You’re oversimplifying!”

The Civil King still spoke: “It’s hard to say about the others, but beings like Kong—do you think they’ll obey?”

“Then what’s your idea?”

Su Yu looked at the Civil King.

The Civil King pondered a moment and said: “In the end, we still have to deal with the other side of the gate. If we don’t settle the gate, no matter how well we impersonate, we’ll eventually be exposed. For this forbidden land assembly, my suggestion is not to fight a protracted war, but to grab what we can and leave!”

Su Yu frowned slightly.

The Civil King continued: “Also, we need to gauge the Heavenly Gate’s strength. And don’t forget the existence of the other two gates!”

He looked at Su Yu: “My idea is that it’s best to create some conflict among the three gates.”

“The three gates are about to open. Didn’t you capture that shadow?”

He said gravely: “If you can subdue him and have him pose as the Human Gate’s envoy… that might actually be a good outcome.”

Su Yu’s eyes flickered: “You mean?”

“Wenyu impersonates the Dharma, the Heavenly Gate’s spokesperson. You impersonate the Human Gate’s spokesperson… There should be a true spokesperson for the Human Gate here, but that one may not dare to show himself. If he does… who says he’s the only one? Who rules that the Human Gate can have only one spokesperson?”

Su Yu frowned: “But I’m now posing as part of the Death Lord’s family. If I claim to be from the Human Gate…”

“So what?”

The Civil King was unperturbed: “The Death Lord having some connection with the Human Gate is perfectly normal.”

The Civil King added: “Our goal now is not just to eliminate some Heavenly Gate experts, but also to make the three gates confront each other. Especially the Human Gate—the Heavenly Gate can’t be too heavily damaged. If the losses are too great… the Human Gate, you understand? How many experts does it have? How many super-tier? The Human Gate is also somewhat wary of the Heavenly Gate… but if we wipe out the Heavenly Gate’s experts, the Human Gate would be delighted!”

The Civil King continued: “At this forbidden land assembly, I suspect there will be members of the Human Gate. And on the Heavenly Gate side, I doubt only the Dharma is present!”

Su Yu nodded. That was possible.

Sun and Moon hadn’t said much; in truth, he didn’t know too much about beings at that level.

The Civil King added: “Also, if we can ease the conflict between the Death Lord and everyone else, that would be best. The Death Lord is ostracized mainly because of his entanglements with the myriad realms… but if he also becomes a member of the Human Gate, and everyone fights against the myriad realms together, there won’t be much conflict.”

As for those he killed before… nonsense, they weren’t the ones killed. The dead were already dead—who still cared?

Su Yu stroked his chin and chuckled. "The Gate of Man... indeed, the Gate of Man is too mysterious, planting agents everywhere. King Wen, how many of these forbidden land masters do you think are subordinates of the Gate of Man?"

"Hard to judge!" King Wen sighed. "I know extremely little about the Gate of Man as well!"

Among the Three Gates, the Gate of Man was the most mysterious!

No one had ever heard of a true member of the Gate of Man; most were merely spokespeople, seduced by the Gate of Man or given some benefits to fight for it. But who had ever seen the true existence within the Gate of Man?

As the two spoke, a man emerged from underground. The Martial King, spotting Su Yu, laughed heartily. "Su Yu, I've shaken you off!"

Su Yu glanced at him, unconcerned, and said casually, "Talk to me when you've truly shaken me off! Right now... it's just like the River of Time's path entering the body. Besides, you and King Wen are now brothers in misfortune, both barely at the level of the 31st Path. I reckon you might not even be needed in the great war!"

The two old men exchanged a look, feeling somewhat helpless.

The 31st Path... not needed!

Those words stung deeply!

Su Yu ignored them, rubbing his chin. "Also, this time, it's best to lure out the Lord of the Sky Dome. I need to communicate with the Human Emperor over there—his strength has declined too sharply. Let's see if we can get some benefits to help him recover... We've killed quite a few people; maybe we can patch up his Dao."

"As for Brother, there's no need to worry too much." King Wen didn't seem concerned. "Since he's returned to the Myriad Realms, recovering his strength isn't a big problem. He has some arrangements in the Earth Gate, and the Earth Gate will supply him with resources."

Having said that, King Wen added, "Now he keeps his gate open all day, chatting with the Lord of the Sky Dome... The Lord of the Sky Dome had better be careful not to fall into his trap. Also, do you really think it was just a coincidence that the Lord of the Sky Dome lent you power several times?"

Su Yu was startled.

"It might be Brother's influence!" King Wen smiled. "Subtle influence is actually quite terrifying. Brother's Dao... even I don't want to provoke it too much. If the Lord of the Sky Dome foolishly keeps his Heavenly Gate open... just wait, something will happen sooner or later. His Dao works silently, not through forceful influence, but by seeping in bit by bit."

Su Yu was slightly alarmed. "Don't mention it—I've actually heard that recently the Lord of the Sky Dome not only keeps his Heavenly Gate open but also holds a great seal... hmm..." Su Yu gasped.

Oh no, could it be the Human Emperor's Seal?

If so, my heavens, that's the core of the Human Emperor's realm, full of the power of the Dao of Responsibility. Good grief!

If that were the case, even if the Lord of the Sky Dome was powerful, being in constant contact with it, especially the most concentrated core part... he would eventually be affected!

To be honest, Su Yu was also vague about the power of the Human Emperor's Dao.

King Wen was even more afraid to reveal where his own realm was hidden!

Now, there was a fool who let the Human Emperor pour such power into him day and night. The Lord of the Sky Dome's failure to attack Su Yu several times might not simply be because of the Sword Venerable, but also because he was unconsciously influenced!

At this moment, King Wen smiled again. "With Brother's personality, though he can't meddle in the affairs of the gate now, since the other party has opened a convenient door, he probably intends to influence him a little... I think if this continues, the Lord of the Sky Dome might be in trouble!"

Su Yu laughed. "Well, that's... nothing to say. He can't blame anyone; he insisted on opening it himself. But I think he probably isn't holding the Human Emperor's Seal, right?"

If he dared to hold that, he was truly seeking death!

"The Human Emperor's Seal doesn't have much influence..."

Su Yu shook his head. "Don't mention it. The Human Emperor's Seal has become the core of the Human Emperor's realm. Do you think its influence is small?"

"..."

At this, even King Wen was a bit taken aback. After a long pause, he said, "If the Lord of the Sky Dome really took it... then he truly is... truly seeking death. Brother's strength is immense, and the essence of his power is very high. Even if he's injured, he can still influence the other!"

At that moment, the two exchanged glances, silently sympathizing with Qiong.

Surely he wasn't really playing with the Human Emperor's Seal?

That was no joke!

...

Meanwhile.

At the Sky Dome Mountain.

The Lord of the Sky Dome continued to toy with the Human Emperor's Seal. Recently, he had been inseparable from this great seal, constantly studying it.

Now, after another round of study, he spoke up. "I think this seal might really be made from the Myriad Dao Stone. Where did you get it? Also, the power within this seal doesn't seem much like the power of fortune..."

He paused, a bit puzzled. "Your Human Emperor's Seal is a bit off!"

The Human Emperor seemed busy with other matters, but after a moment, he replied, "What's off?"

The Lord of the Sky Dome frowned. "There's a faint special power influencing me..."

The Human Emperor said nonchalantly, "That's always been there. The power of human fortune and the power of mission—if you use it long enough, you'll naturally feel that humanity and you are one family... That's the responsibility of the Human Emperor. Otherwise, do you think anyone could be the Human Emperor?"

"I see!" The Lord of the Sky Dome understood, somewhat surprised. "So that's it. So holding this Human Emperor's Seal for a long time... would naturally make one feel some goodwill toward humanity?"

"How would I know? I've always deeply loved humanity... I'm the only one who's used this seal. No one else has, so how would I know if you feel goodwill toward humanity?"

Having said that, the Human Emperor urged, "Stop wasting time. I've seized the Myriad Dao Stone. Return the seal to me, and I'll give you the Myriad Dao Stone!"

"What's the hurry!" The Lord of the Sky Dome was displeased. "Am I going to destroy this thing?"

The Lord of the Sky Dome said calmly, "Let me play with it for a few more days. I'll return it later! By the way, this seal of yours seems to contain quite a bit of Dao power. Is it your own Dao power, or the Myriad Dao power inherent in the Myriad Dao Stone?"

"Nonsense, do you think I'd tell you? Hurry up, let's trade! We agreed earlier..."

"Not in a hurry!" The Lord of the Sky Dome said flatly. "You've been so anxious all along—are you afraid I'll discover some secret?"

"..."

It took a while for the Human Emperor to reply. "I'm busy now. I don't have time for you. When I'm done, you'll trade back with me!"

"Go about your business!" The Lord of the Sky Dome waved his hand, too lazy to continue.

He continued to study the seal.

This Human Emperor's Seal, he found it very mysterious. As for that special power, the faint influence, he wasn't too concerned. Holding the Human Emperor's Seal would naturally make one feel some goodwill toward humanity... that was normal!

Otherwise, how could one be the Human Emperor?

...

At that moment, in the Myriad Realms.

The Human Emperor was indeed very busy. Still, in a moment of leisure, he cursed, "Idiot!"

I told you not to give it back, but you keep holding it!

Sooner or later, you'll cry!

That brat Su Yu had already entered the 32nd Path. Recently, he had been busy restoring his strength, reorganizing the Myriad Realms, elevating everyone, and running around everywhere.

After a flurry of activity, the Human Emperor quickly flew toward the Earth Gate.

The Earth Gate showed faint signs of revival.

As the Human Emperor flew closer, some faint fluctuations came from the Earth Gate. The Human Emperor discerned them and smiled. "How about opening a crack for convenience? Old Earth, among the Three Gates, I think you're the weakest. You're in danger! And from the looks of it, you might have been wounded before. Back then, we easily cracked you open... You're in a bad state. How about cooperating?"

The Earth Gate rippled faintly, and the Human Emperor laughed, "It's fine, you haven't made up your mind, that's nothing. By the way, do me a favor—some of my people will be entering soon, and if I have time, I'll go in myself to have a look. If you open it yourself, we can talk nicely; if you don't... we can still talk nicely! I've recovered a fair bit of strength lately—beating a strong one is hard, beating you... is also hard, but I can make you suffer!"

The Earth Gate seemed to fall silent for a moment, and soon, another faint ripple emanated.

The Human Emperor discerned for a while longer, then said with a chuckle, "Not many—just thirty or fifty Rule Masters, going in for a spin and coming right out! Don't refuse me—I can't reach the Heaven Gate or the Human Gate... but you? Believe me, I'll bring people to attack you day and night?"

The Earth Gate ceased to emit any ripples.

Standing in the Myriad Realms had its pros and cons.

The advantage was easy access to open the gate; the disadvantage was... easy access to get beaten!

The Human Emperor paid him no heed and vanished swiftly—he had other matters to attend to. Su Yu had stirred up quite a commotion, and he couldn't afford to idle; at the very least, before Su Yu and the others emerged, he had to arrange everything in the Myriad Realms properly!

Soon, the Human Emperor arrived in the Lower Realm.

"Blue Sky!"

"Here!"

Soon, Blue Sky's figure materialized.

Somewhat puzzled, what did the Human Emperor want with him?

"I'm entrusting you with a rather arduous task!"

Blue Sky smiled, "Human Emperor, please speak!"

"Go find the Martial Emperor, have him open the Heaven Gate, and give you a poke..."

"Huh?"

Blue Sky was taken aback—what are you saying?

The Human Emperor explained, "Go to him and infiltrate your Heaven-Earth Force into his Heaven Gate—his gate is near the True Heaven Gate! Wander around there when you're free; it's chaotic over there lately, so no one will rashly approach. Once your Heaven-Earth Force seeps in, you have one task... harass the True Heaven Gate! Infiltrate it with your force now and then. Also, if possible, you can impersonate Su Yu—the Su Yu of the Myriad Realms!"

"Moreover, once there's intense fluctuation and battle erupts there, you pour in your Heaven-Earth Force with all your might..."

Blue Sky immediately laughed, "Su Yu is causing trouble inside?"

"Of course!"

Blue Sky understood: "Rest assured, no problem. Even if I don't descend, I'll stir up some trouble!"

He roughly grasped the Human Emperor's intent!

The Human Emperor added, "Also, summon the Book Spirit. If truly necessary, transmit the Book Spirit over! Old Man Wen is probably stretched thin—I took a look at his realm, and those shoes Su Yu transmitted earlier have likely shattered..."

The Human Emperor thought for a moment and said, "At the Forbidden Grounds meeting, Fa might have been killed—Old Man Two's realm shook right at that time..."

He pieced together internal and external clues—though not present, he deduced many things. But since no one is saying Fa was killed, it's likely they plan to impersonate him.

But Old Man Two's boots are shattered—his strength is probably insufficient!

He must get the Book Spirit over there!

Blue Sky nodded repeatedly and asked, "Anything else?"

The Human Emperor pondered for a moment, then said, "That's all for now. I'll notify you if needed. Also, remember—the main goal is to harass the True Heaven Gate... once the other side erupts, you flee immediately!"

"Understood!"

How amusing!

Blue Sky had been idle lately, aside from stabilizing his strength.

The Human Emperor said no more and vanished swiftly from the spot, while Blue Sky chuckled and quickly swam upstream to find the others—now, those people were not far from this place.

This meant that soon, all three gates would be opened.

PS: Last day of double monthly votes—if you have votes, please cast them! Have pity!
