Chapter 924: Entering the Earth Gate

Within the Earth Gate.

In these days, the Earth Gate has also been somewhat unsettled, as more and more outsiders enter, the vast Earth Gate stirs with ripples.

It is widely acknowledged that the Earth Gate is not as formidable as the Heaven Gate.

Of course, this is also tied to the great war with the Heaven Gate era, where too many powerful beings perished.

In the era of the Opening of Heaven, there were countless mighty ones.

At the end of the last era, in order to enter the Myriad Realms, the sealed Chaos Era of the Earth Gate emerged in full force, and a vast number of top-tier existences were slain, leaving the Earth Gate of today far weaker than it once was.

Now.

In this dark age, within the endless void, amidst a rift canyon like an abyss, figures dart back and forth.

Beneath the abyss, a colossal palace looms.

As if it has existed since time immemorial.

At this moment, a voice echoes from within the hall: "Summon someone!"

After a moment, someone enters the hall.

A low voice comes from within: "The Heaven Gate is in turmoil! Su Yu and his group have slain many lords of the forbidden lands, and now they have broken free from the Heaven Gate and returned to the Myriad Realms! Many powerful beings, including Zhou and Xian, have been killed. After returning to the Myriad Realms, be wary of Su Yu entering the Earth Gate! Patrol near the Earth Gate, and report any movements promptly!"

"Understood!"

Soon, someone departs.

...

Within the hall.

At this moment, there is more than one person.

One by one, powerful beings, their auras concealed, wearing masks that look similar but bear slight differences—some engraved with a mountain, some with a sword, some shrouded in black mist.

Within the Earth Gate, the Human Gate has seen an influx of too many powerful beings or their avatars.

These individuals represent different factions, different Great Sage-level existences, though the Human Gate is more disciplined than the Heaven Gate; the Human Gate is the true leader of the entire Human Gate era.

As the command is issued, someone mutters in a low voice: "Is it really necessary to be so tense?"

No one responds.

At this moment, on one side of the hall, slightly below, a person speaks with a light laugh: "Is it really necessary to be so tense? Of course it is! I warned you all long ago to be wary of the Myriad Realms launching an active assault, to be wary of Su Yu coming to kill us! I even warned you all long ago that it would be best to contact your respective masters and caution some of the beings in the Heaven Gate to be careful of Su Yu and his group actively attacking... but no one believed me."

At the top of the hall, a powerful being wearing a dark mask speaks coldly: "Zhou Ji, if the intelligence we received is correct, the Zhou that the Jitian Great Sage developed within the Heaven Gate has also been killed! Since you warned us long ago, why did it come to this?"

Zhou Ji!

This cultivator, who had recently entered the Earth Gate, revealed his identity upon arrival: the avatar of the Jitian Great Sage in the Myriad Realms. Whether he is a possession of the Jitian Great Sage's will, a manifested clone, a native cultivator of the Myriad Realms, or a projection of will from a subordinate of the Jitian Great Sage—no one knows.

All that is known is that since his entry, he has repeatedly mentioned Su Yu of the Myriad Realms, a cultivator who had not yet reached the 16th path.

Before this, few paid him any heed.

Until today, the name Su Yu has resounded throughout the Three Gates!

Even within the Human Gate, Su Yu's name now circulates—a being who infiltrated the Heaven Gate and slew numerous lords of the forbidden lands, terrifying beyond measure!

Zhou Ji chuckles softly: "I warned you, but it doesn't hurt me; naturally, some paid no attention! Every time, it's the same—only after suffering a loss do they realize that everything I said was right! Yet, one loss could mean utter ruin! Those who understand, naturally get it; those who don't... let them suffer a few more losses!"

Zhou Ji smiles: "Zhou is dead—won't the Jitian Great Sage take it seriously now? Look, at this moment, does anyone still dare to underestimate Su Yu?"

Or rather, at this moment, does anyone dare to look down on that one?

Every person present—name one who dares to claim they are superior to Zhou and the others?

If Su Yu could kill those beings, he could kill everyone here!

Someone speaks with a faint, eerie laugh: "Zhou Ji, we're more curious—how did he advance so rapidly? From your entry until now, not long ago, from below the 16th path to being able to kill lords of the forbidden lands—how did he do it?"

"How did he do it?"

Zhou Ji laughs: "An Opener of Heaven, devouring all paths, fortune like a rainbow, a prodigy of the age, daring to take risks, ruthless and black-hearted, a madman—are these enough? He possesses almost all the traits of a cultivator who should rise at the end of an era! Is that enough?"

The dark-masked being at the head of the table does not wish to hear such things and says directly: "Zhou Ji, you know him well. What do you think? How should we deal with him? If he truly enters the Earth Gate, how should we respond?"

"How to deal with him?"

Zhou Ji says softly: "The only way to deal with him is to strike before he becomes invincible—gather all the powerful beings within the Earth Gate and deliver a thunderous blow! Kill him outright! Don't think about 'I won't exert myself, you do it.' Don't think, 'Let's wait a little longer; someone else will deal with him.' Don't think, 'The Three Gates are about to open; why fight him to the death? Maybe in a few months, maybe a few years, the gates will open—why fight him now?'"

Zhou Ji smiles faintly: "If you harbor such thoughts... then I can only say, prepare for misfortune!"

Back then, the cultivators of the Myriad Realms had that mindset, and so the Myriad Realms fell.

The cultivators of the Heaven Gate also had that mindset, and so the Heaven Gate fell.

When Su Yu enters the Earth Gate, which is not even as strong as the Heaven Gate, if you still have that mindset, then it will be utter ruin!

Zhou Ji adds: "Unite the Chaos Lord, the Human Ancestor, the Prison King, and the two others who hide as if dead—combine forces with us. Gather the strength of all the mighty ones. If he comes, attack him as a group! Kill him directly! Don't overthink it—we can surely win. At this moment, he probably hasn't reached the point where he can match everyone working together!"

...

The group stares at him as if he were a madman.

What nonsense are you spouting!

How is that possible!

For so many powerful beings to join hands... might as well say the entire Earth Gate should unite to kill Su Yu—is that even possible?

Absolutely impossible!

If the various factions of the Earth Gate could be easily rallied, wouldn't the Human Gate have already controlled the Earth Gate?

"Zhou Ji, are you joking?"

Zhou Ji smiles: "Yes, I'm joking! If you're willing to try, then try! If not, take it as a joke! When you suffer a loss and he quickly grows stronger... then you'll know whether it was a joke!"

He chuckles softly: "I know some people won't shed tears until they see the coffin! How about this—take my plan as a backup. Try to make contact as soon as possible! Be prepared, at least let the few powerful beings know. Even if they don't take it seriously now... when the first victim falls, I hope you can quickly unite, rather than running around like headless flies at that time!"

He knows it's not easy to convince these people, or rather, they think it's impossible to achieve this easily.

There's a WeChat public account [Book Lover Base Camp] where you can collect red envelopes and points—first come, first served!

No matter—Su Yu will help make it happen!

When Su Yu enters, when some powerful being who thought it impossible falls, the remaining ones will recall today's words and understand: Yes, we should unite!

But people will die!

Use the blood of some to awaken these fellows.

Every time, it's the same.

Every time, there are those who firmly believe: I am strong; the others died only because they were weak, they were foolish, they were ambushed by Su Yu, they didn't know Su Yu had infiltrated.

Yet in the end, those who die are often these very people!

Zhou Ji says softly: "Consider it yourselves. If you can do it, do it; if you can't... I have no way either! If all else fails, you could have some Great Sages attempt to descend into the Earth Gate!"

Someone says directly: "Descend? That's difficult! The Earth Gate has always been on guard against us. For a Great Sage to descend, the Earth Gate would have to loosen its restrictions..."

Zhou Ji smiles: "Is that so? The Earth Gate is wiser and more prudent than you. If you don't believe me, have some Great Sages try to descend now... If they are blocked, it means Su Yu hasn't come. If Su Yu has come, then the Earth Gate will not stop them!"

Earth Gate, standing as the portal of myriad realms, has seen more than all others.

Zhou Ji believed that the strongest of this era at Earth Gate would not be so foolish; in his eyes, perhaps the threat of the Great Sage was less than that of Su Yu. It was worth a try—the descent of the Great Sage was not impossible.

"Then why don't you try to have the Jitian Great Sage descend?"

Someone looked at Zhou Ji. The Jitian Great Sage, even among Great Sages, was a top-tier existence. Zhou Ji only knew to tell others to try—why not let the Jitian Great Sage descend himself?

Zhou Ji chuckled lightly: "When the time is right, I will naturally try!"

He said no more, rose, and smiled: "Better not to gather together, lest you be caught in one net! Though this place is somewhat hidden, many know of it, especially those watching us. I'll take my leave first! You'd best scatter as well, each to where you belong..."

"You're too cautious... Even if he truly comes, would he dare? And even if he comes, it won't be that fast..."

"Fast?"

Zhou Ji sighed again: "It's been over a day since the Heaven Gate incident, and three or four days in the myriad realms. Given his nature, after a brief rest, he might come straight to Earth Gate! Counting the time, it might already be close!"

The crowd exchanged glances. Someone laughed: "Zhou Ji, has he scared you out of your wits? How could an existence like the Jitian Great Sage choose you as his envoy..."

Zhou Ji looked at the masked speaker and smiled faintly: "I'll remember you. Wherever you are, I won't appear. Overly foolish people come to no good end! Though your strength is not weak, even greater than mine, I'd rather cooperate with some losers from the myriad realms than with you... I fear you'll get me killed!"

He laughed, his figure gradually fading: "If you don't want to die, stay far from this man. An envoy of the Qingtian Great Sage, are you? I hope... you live to see the day you leave Earth Gate!"

With those words, he vanished.

In the hall, the one who had spoken earlier erupted with aura, a dense murderous intent: "Zhou Ji, what audacity!"

At the head of the hall, the dark-masked cultivator glanced at him and said calmly: "Enough, no infighting now! Heaven Gate fell because of infighting, giving Su Yu and his group an opening. This Zhou Ji... is no simpleton! His strength is not great, but he changes daily. I suspect the Jitian Great Sage may have descended some will upon him—do not provoke him lightly!"

At these words, some present felt a chill. A Great Sage-level existence had descended its will?

The dark-masked strongman continued: "Everyone must still make preparations. At the very least, we must spread word of Su Yu's deeds in Heaven Gate..."

"Wouldn't that glorify his name?"

"Glorify his name?"

The dark-masked strongman said softly: "If we don't speak of it, can we pretend he doesn't exist? The more we conceal, the easier it is for disaster to strike. Spreading news of him will make everyone alert to anomalies—perhaps they'll realize Su Yu has infiltrated Earth Gate... rather than knowing nothing at all. In Heaven Gate, he disguised himself as a Heaven Gate cultivator and eventually slaughtered many strongmen. Do you all think yourselves stronger than those forbidden land masters?"

No one spoke after that.

"Scatter! If anything happens near Earth Gate, everyone must be cautious. Zhou Ji easily gained Zhou's trust. Even knowing he is connected to the Human Gate, Zhou still trusts him considerably... He has some skill. Do not dismiss his words entirely!"

At this, some felt uneasy: "Could the Jitian Great Sage truly be planning to cooperate with Zhou? In the past, Zhou first betrayed Heaven Gate, then Human Gate... Now, will he be accepted again?"

The dark-masked strongman said flatly: "These are matters for the top existences, not our concern. What we must do is turn Earth Gate into a subsidiary force of Human Gate."

No one argued further. Soon, figures shattered and vanished swiftly.

When all had left, the dark-masked strongman gazed into the distance, toward Earth Gate itself.

Only a day had passed since the Heaven Gate incident.

Would Su Yu and his group truly come soon?

...

At the same time.

Before Earth Gate.

Su Yu, Wen Yu, the Human Emperor, and King Wen had all arrived.

Moments later, a surge of deathly aura swept across heaven and earth!

In an instant, the Lord of the Dead appeared in black robes.

He looked at no one, fixing his gaze directly on Earth Gate, a cold smile curling his lips: "Earth Gate... I wonder how strong you truly are when fully awakened."

Earth Gate remained silent.

At this moment, the gathered strongmen were numerous; even Earth Gate felt a tremor in its heart.

With so many experts, if the Three Gates remained closed, even if Earth Gate opened alone and fully awakened, could it prevail?

There was hope, but... it was uncertain.

Fully awakened, it naturally feared not the Lord of the Dead, but could the cultivators within the gate withstand these beings?

Su Yu, the Human Emperor, King Wen, the Time Master, King Wu...

The myriad realms era was truly formidable.

Seeing the Lord of the Dead arrive, Su Yu beamed: "Senior, you've finally come! I was getting anxious without you!"

Su Yu's smile was radiant: "With you here, I feel at ease. This time, Senior, King Wen, and King Wu will stay outside to keep watch. In short, keep an eye on this Senior Earth Gate... He is too powerful. I fear he might suddenly seal the portal and trap me inside... That would be troublesome."

King Wen smiled: "With the Lord of the Dead here, why worry about that?"

The Human Emperor also laughed: "The Lord of the Dead is immensely powerful; there's no need for excessive concern."

...

King Wu looked at them and muttered: "With Senior here, we can fight Earth Gate!"

...

The Lord of the Dead stared at them, his face cold: "Are you done?"

Flattering me?

A pack of scheming bastards.

The Human Emperor beamed: "Senior, don't mind us. We all sincerely admire you, working together to protect the myriad realms. You are the anchor of our world..."

The Lord of the Dead grew impatient. Did they take him for Qiong?

A few pretty words and he'd fall for it?

He was exasperated and snapped: "Are we going in or not?"

Why all this nonsense?

These people were no good—all trying to make him their pawn.

Su Yu laughed: "We're going in, of course, right now!"

The Human Emperor raised a hand and smiled: "No rush. Earth Gate, open a crack. After it opens, we'll trouble Senior to stand guard here and not vanish. Second Brother, keep an eye on Earth Gate. If Senior makes any move... you and the others can have some fun with him."

A threat.

Earth Gate remained silent, saying nothing.

As a pinnacle existence of the age, it feared neither King Wen nor even the Lord of the Dead. But as a gate, before the final doom fully arrived, unsealing would bring certain troubles. Besides, it had not yet returned to its peak.

When the doom came, it could seize the chance to recover—the Three Gates converging, the long river compressing, power boiling, rules overflowing... That would be a fine opportunity for revival.

Yet it knew that letting Su Yu and his group enter now was a gamble, a great one.

It might even be aiding the enemy.

At this moment, countless thoughts flickered through Earth Gate's mind.

He had always been on guard against the Human Gate, but if Su Yu and the others truly intended to enter... perhaps he could only use the might of the Human Gate to counter poison with poison!

At this moment, it was not wise to clash head-on with the Human Emperor.

The Earth Gate, at this moment, felt somewhat helpless. The convergence of the three gates was only a matter of years, perhaps even sooner, yet why did time now seem so long?

In the past, thousands or tens of thousands of years had never felt long!

Before this, he had even wished the others would not come, that the Chaos Era would descend on its own!

Now... that was no longer possible!

They had to come!

Even the arrival of the Heavenly Gate alone would not suffice; the Human Gate must come as well, or else it would be truly difficult to deal with the Myriad Realms.

The Myriad Realms' strength, as it now appeared, was only on par with a single gate.

But after all, they were the protagonists of this era!

A single misstep could still easily lead to disaster.

With these thoughts, the Earth Gate still opened a tiny crack—a wise man does not court danger!

The Human Emperor, however, was in no hurry to enter.

Soon, a faint ripple of aura emanated.

After a moment, a voice came from behind the gate: "Your Majesty!"

Su Yu raised an eyebrow!

Impressive!

Everything behind the gate was arranged so perfectly!

Was it One Moon of the Iron-Eating Tribe?

Or the mount of the Martial King, that Sovereign of the Hou Tribe?

Back then, the Human Emperor seemed to have arranged for several rule masters from the myriad races to enter, as these beast races were easier to blend in.

"Clear out some of the spies behind the Earth Gate!"

The Human Emperor's voice transmitted: "I wish to enter, and I hope the news does not spread immediately!"

"Your Majesty is about to enter?"

The voice behind the gate was both surprised and delighted: "Your Majesty, has your injury recovered?"

"No, but it doesn't matter... This time, I am entering with others. Enough, no more questions. Be quick. If the opposition is too strong, then abandon the plan—do not alert the enemy..."

"Understood!"

Soon, the voice behind the gate faded.

Su Yu looked at the Human Emperor, who smiled and said, "No rush, take it slow. Don't get noticed the moment you enter. Even if we can hide for just a day, that's good!"

Su Yu nodded, then thought of something and suddenly laughed, "Speaking of which, I've actually planted some people inside the Earth Gate. I wonder how they're doing now?"

"You?"

The Human Emperor was surprised: "Who went in?"

"Tian Gu and the others!"

"... "

The Human Emperor was speechless. Did that count as your people?

Su Yu laughed again, "I even have arrangements in the Human Gate. Didn't Zhou Ji go in?"

"... "

I... am speechless!

The Human Emperor was a bit exasperated: "If you know them, they count as your people?"

Are you kidding me?

Then I know the Earth Gate and the Chaos Lord—are they all my people?

Su Yu chuckled, "It's different! Dear Human Emperor, because I am familiar with them. Familiarity means they know I'm not to be trifled with. I'm troublesome, and they're clever enough—that makes all the difference. If I run into a fool who boasts about preferring death to submission... I can't do much about that. But with these clever ones, things are often simpler!"

As he spoke, Su Yu glanced at the sky: "I wonder how long it will take behind the gate to clear out those spies? It won't waste too much time, will it?"

The Human Emperor smiled: "Don't worry, there aren't many people nearby. I struck twice, and those nearby were killed. No one dares to come and die easily now!"

"Mm!"

As the two chatted, the Civil King, seeing that his leader no longer spoke with him, felt a wave of desolation: "Boss, have I been phased out by you?"

The Human Emperor laughed: "I never said that! Alright, stop feeling sorry for yourself. Your task is also very important!"

The Civil King nodded slightly: "Don't worry. If things get truly troublesome, I will enter and bring a few out..."

With that, he reached out and grabbed, and a figure materialized.

The Tongtian Marquis had long since resigned himself to fate!

Seeing the many strong figures present, he hurriedly looked at Su Yu, grinning through gritted teeth: "Your Majesty!"

The Civil King was taken aback, then laughed: "You, the Blabbermouth Gate, have changed. Weren't you afraid of me before? Now that you see Su Yu, you ignore me?"

The Tongtian Marquis replied with a mournful face: "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare, Lord Civil King. It's just that this old servant has now sworn allegiance to His Majesty..."

The Civil King chuckled: "Enough! Stay here. At a critical moment, we might still need you. The Earth Gate won't be honest—it might collude with the Human Gate or use other means to trap and kill Su Yu and the others. Or it might constantly send word to have them surrounded. Your task now is simple: monitor the Earth Gate. Once there's any disturbance, inform us immediately..."

The Tongtian Marquis was dumbfounded!

One might think they were discussing secrets, but... damn it, wasn't the Earth Gate right beside them?

And it seemed to be awakening!

This was truly... treating the Earth Gate as if it weren't an outsider!

The Civil King paid no heed to this, looking at Su Yu and the others: "Should we bring the Heaven and Earth Shift inside?"

Su Yu smiled: "If the Earth Gate keeps the crack open, it doesn't matter either way. But if it closes the gate, not bringing it would severely diminish our strength!"

Should they bring the Heaven and Earth inside?

It was still possible to force it in now.

If not, Su Yu's physical body was already the Heaven and Earth, somewhat unified, so the difference in strength wouldn't be too great. But the Human Emperor and the Time Master were not the same—they would be considerably suppressed.

The Human Emperor laughed: "Bring it in! Better safe than sorry! What if some great sages from the Human Gate descend inside and join forces to ambush us? The Earth Gate takes the risk, closes the gate, and we'll be in trouble! Bring it in... Lord Earth Gate will let us in, won't he?"

At this moment, the Earth Gate couldn't help but emit a fluctuation: "You... you want to move the Heaven and Earth inside as well?"

This was too much!

It pulsed: "I am not yet fully awakened now, only remnants of will remain. Forcing open a large crack will severely injure me. Moving the Heaven and Earth inside... for me, it will come at a great cost..."

Su Yu said flatly: "Didn't we give you two super-grade Daos? Can't you afford such a small price? Fine, if you think the cost is too high, we'll go in and not kill the super-grades. We'll slaughter those below super-grade and feed them all to you to replenish your body. What do you think?"

A threat!

The Earth Gate was silent for a moment, then rippled: "Su Yu, stop threatening me! If you truly push me to forcefully revive, it will do you no good. Your strength is not weak, and I... am not without means to fight back! Don't forget, there are the Heaven Gate and the Human Gate!"

Repeated threats had angered the Earth Gate. Would a real clash benefit you?

Su Yu nodded and quickly smiled: "That makes sense... but the Three Gates are destined to be our enemies. Rather than waiting for you to unite, why not risk everything and wipe out the Earth Gate first? We don't want to take risks now, but if you're so stubborn and unyielding... then we have no choice but to fight you to the death!"

"..."

The Earth Gate was speechless.

Yes, Su Yu and his companions had no other choice, while he could choose to wait!

A helpless, sorrowful thing.

At that moment, the Earth Gate felt a pang of resentment. Why was I sealed above the myriad realms back then?

Look at the Heaven Gate and the Human Gate, at the two ends of the long river. Su Yu and his people would have trouble picking a fight with them. How simple it was to trouble me, always within reach!

Now, the Earth Gate fell silent.

Enter!

Let them bring the world in. If they brought the world in and encountered a crisis, Su Yu and the others would fall completely, with no chance of rebirth. Without the world, perhaps they might still have a chance to be reborn!

The Lord of the Dead was an expert in this. With the world here and the source not dispersing, he might forcibly revive them!

With that thought, the Earth Gate felt much better.

So be it!

Go on in!

As for these people staring at me, watching me—did that mean I had no way out?

Of course, I still had ways to deal with you.

And for that, I needed the Human Gate to exert itself!

The Human Gate had planted many people inside. Once, I thought it was a nuisance, annoying. Now... it was fine!

Better yet, let both sides suffer!

Let a few great sages descend and fight to the death—that would be the best outcome!

Waiting, after about two or three hours, a voice came from within the gate: "Your Majesty, it's ready!"

The Human King showed a hint of a smile, looked into the distance, reached out, and grabbed a great seal. In an instant, the distant world contracted violently, and moments later, the world was absorbed into the seal.

The powerful beings cultivating in that world were startled awake, looking this way. The Human King's voice echoed: "Don't just stand idle! If you have nothing to do, go upstream and fight the myriad races. If you're interested in venturing into the Earth Gate, wait a few days after I enter. Of course, the danger is certainly not small! Also, the King Wen's world has trapped a group of rogue cultivators, some unwilling to be taught—no time to deal with them... If you're willing to take the risk, go in and fight!"

His voice spread in all directions, carrying a hint of a smile: "When I return, I will be restored to my peak! That might be the time when we actively summon the Three Gates to converge. Everyone... be prepared!"

The crowd tensed!

They all shouted: "We obey your decree!"

Su Yu said nothing, but his world was instantly absorbed into his body, simpler than the Human King's method.

As for the Time Master, a book appeared, and her world was also absorbed in an instant. Casually, she grabbed a chicken leg. Just as she was about to eat, seeing Su Yu staring at her, she pulled out another chicken leg and tossed it to him, shaking her head with some helplessness.

Su Yu now stared at her whenever she ate. This guy was quite gluttonous!

Su Yu rolled his eyes. Did I want food?

I just wondered if you could stop eating everywhere!

In my imagination, the Time Master was a dashing figure, riding a small boat, drifting through the river of time. Now you've become a big eater!

"Food Time Master," living up to the name!

The scene I imagined... damn, it might have been the Prison King disguised as the Time Master!

Prison, decisive and cold, as seen from the descriptions of King Wu and others.

"Not enough?" Seeing Su Yu holding the chicken leg and still staring, the Time Master thought for a moment, then took out a flask of wine: "Here, for you!"

Su Yu held the wine flask in his left hand and the chicken leg in his right... and was momentarily speechless!

Wen Yu saw him still looking and asked in surprise: "Still not enough?"

Su Yu took a big bite of the chicken leg and stopped looking at her!

But it was delicious!

After a bite, Su Yu asked: "What kind of leg is this?"

"Phoenix Ancestor's!"

The Time Master said, eating happily, and chuckled: "There aren't many good things to eat in the Heaven Gate. Look at those powerful beings—some are stones, some are swords, one is emptiness—they don't look appetizing... But the Earth Gate is different. It sealed the Chaos Era, with countless Chaos ancient beasts... Su Yu, you don't know, back then we held a bonfire feast here, with so many varieties!"

"I remember once, we ate sixty-two kinds of ancient beasts here... Ah, truly fragrant!"

All around fell silent.

Even the Earth Gate couldn't help recalling that scene. Yes, such things had really happened, in the ancient era!

Wen Yu beamed: "This time, I'll go in and catch them myself! I'll make you a feast of ten thousand beasts, Su Yu. I guarantee you'll want a second taste after the first. Then you might understand why the Time Lord sealed Chaos instead of destroying it. I suspect the Time Lord thought the same as me—if we kill them all, what will we eat?"

For a moment, the world was utterly still!

Don't joke!

Yes, kill them all... what would we eat?

The Human King couldn't help but laugh: "Let's go in. Don't project your thoughts onto the Time Lord..."

Wen Yu was unimpressed: "Brother Xingyu, am I wrong? If we kill them all, will we have to eat humanoid beings in the future? The Chaos myriad races are the tastiest!"

The Human King didn't argue, smiled, and stepped inside.

Su Yu quickly stepped into the Earth Gate's rift.

The Time Master, eating as she followed, continued to preach: "Really, don't doubt me! To the Time Lord, was the Chaos Era that strong? Probably not? Why seal it? It's meaningless! Might as well kill them all. But he didn't kill them, which means he might have thought the same as me—considering that next time, the myriad realms would be full of humanoid beings, and there'd be nothing good to eat!"

"Perhaps," Su Yu said with a smile.

Behind him, King Wen also smiled wryly and called out: "Ayu, go in and don't cause trouble! Be good!"

Wen Yu didn't look back: "If we're not causing trouble, why are we going in?"

Was my brother losing his balance lately?

He talked nonsense!

We were going in to cause trouble!

And Su Yu suddenly laughed: "Makes sense!"

Wen Yu's words made him want to laugh. Yes, if we weren't going in to cause trouble... why were we going?

Of course, we were going to cause trouble!

In an instant, the three vanished before everyone’s eyes.

The Civil King wore a helpless expression—my little sister… she was always lawless, and now she’s met the equally lawless Su Yu. The eldest is steady, but isn’t he wounded now?

Those two might not listen to him!

I think this Earth Gate is truly headed for chaos!

The Nether Lord shared the same thought, and said calmly, “Prepare yourselves. We’ll storm the Earth Gate!”

The Earth Gate was taken aback—what the hell?

The Civil King nodded: “Taishan, have everyone get ready! The chaos inside is too severe; the Earth Gate will likely be unable to resist interfering… then we’ll storm it!”

“Understood!”

They swiftly made arrangements, while the Earth Gate felt deeply wounded.

What does this mean?

You really don’t treat me as an outsider!

They hadn’t even tried to hide it from him, already preparing for a full assault!

Clearly, they believed that once Su Yu and his companions entered, the Earth Gate’s interior would erupt in utter turmoil!

…

At that moment, Su Yu and the other two seemed to traverse time and space!

It was Su Yu’s first time entering through the main portal!

The next instant, the three materialized beyond the Earth Gate.

Su Yu looked back; the Earth Gate loomed before him, but it felt as if separated by a layer of space.

Here, too, was pitch darkness, yet unlike the Heaven Gate’s interior—here, all was chaotic aura, while the Heaven Gate, though dim, exuded not chaotic energy but a refined, decaying breath of the Great Dao.

Now, before the three of them, a figure materialized and swiftly spoke: “Greetings, Your Majesty!”

“Rise!”

The Human King chuckled, glancing around at the boundless dark, and smiled: “Hǒu, it’s been years!”

Hǒu!

Su Yu was first surprised, then understood—Hǒu was no brute, but a shrewd, wise beast; it was only a pity that after becoming the Martial King’s mount, he too turned into a reckless warrior.

Now, freed from the Martial King, he seemed restored to normal, appearing quite composed.

Hǒu took human form, looking somewhat frail—quite different from what Su Yu had imagined.

Hǒu smiled at first, but upon seeing the Time Master… he suddenly grew awkward and stopped smiling.

Wen Yu stared back at him, annoyed by his loss of smile: “I don’t devour my own! What are you looking at me for? It wasn’t me who did that!”

She did kill, but never turned on her own.

That was all Yu’s doing!

But she had to bear the blame back then; otherwise, the exposure of the Prison King’s massacre of allied clans would have been far more troublesome.
