Chapter 941: Delivering to the Doorstep

As Wan Tiansheng put it, one person's strength is ultimately no match for collective strength.

One person's wisdom is still inferior to collective wisdom.

Is that reasonable?

At this moment, it is reasonable.

Of course, if there were ample time, there would be no need to take risks, lest one labor for another's benefit!

Moreover, hundreds of conflicting wills can easily drive one mad, like Lan Tian, turning into a lunatic. Although Su Yu finds Lan Tian quite disgusting, always transforming, but... who cares!

I should be able to handle it, right?

Lan Tian might be completely insane, but I'm still relatively normal; under the impact, I should be able to withstand it!

Yes, that's how confident I am!

If I really can't hold out... and my will becomes utterly chaotic, just consider me dead, no big deal.

"True Human Gate..."

The true Human Gate should be descending soon.

When the Earth Gate opened, it was said to descend within about a month, but the Heaven Gate also opened early, so the Human Gate might descend within half a month. At this moment, Su Yu was pondering whether Wan Tiansheng could inherit the power of the Human Gate.

Also, there might still be some super-level beings inside the Human Gate, perhaps none above 36 paths, but what about 32 paths?

There should still be some!

"Head, absorb and digest more these few days!"

Su Yu spoke: "A complete Path of Anger, plus half a Path of Sorrow for Heaven, not to mention making you a 36-path, but at least a 32-path must be achieved. Only then is there hope to inherit that Sealed Gate!"

Wan Tiansheng smiled bitterly: "Enough power, but insufficient insight!"

32 paths are not that simple.

"Just experiencing the hardships of life; the Path of Seven Emotions and Six Desires, in my view, is actually very simple!"

Su Yu said nonchalantly: "One person, one face; ten thousand people, ten thousand faces; all living beings, ten thousand paths; ten thousand paths, ten thousand faces! Lan Tian, these few days, you have one task: take our dear Head Wan to experience a rich and varied life, let him taste all the bittersweet and sour!"

Wan Tiansheng's face stiffened: "No need, right?"

"It's necessary!"

Su Yu nodded seriously: "The Head has still experienced too little. Limit it to 10 days, 240 hours, 15,600 minutes! One minute to experience one person's life; the experience in the will is actually very fast! Truly a day feels like a year! Thus, in 10 days, experience ten thousand lives—some sorrowful, some joyful, some bitter, some living, some dying..."

Wan Tiansheng's face turned completely rigid!

Looking at Su Yu, Su Yu also looked at him seriously and nodded: "You can do it!"

"..."

Wan Tiansheng said solemnly: "The Dao is not comprehended like this!"

"I know, it's cramming, but... Head, there's no time!"

Su Yu sighed: "As for some aftereffects, we'll deal with them later! At worst, you'll end up like Lan Tian, right?"

"..."

Wan Tiansheng just stared at him, pained: "I don't want to be like Lan Tian!"

I just gave you advice, good grief,

and you turn around and give me advice!

Are you even human?

In 10 days, experience ten thousand lives—too brilliant!

Su Yu laughed: "No problem, I believe in you, Head!"

Wan Tiansheng sighed: "Really impossible, it will cause will collapse. If you said 10 days to experience 10 lives, I might try, but you want me to experience one life per minute—that's constant memory fragmentation, will turbulence, and might erase my own will!"

"How could that be!"

Su Yu shook his head: "It won't! The Head is a divine man, I believe in you, Head!"

Go to hell!

This isn't a matter of trust or not. Su Yu spoke as if joking, Wan Tiansheng was on the verge of tears: "It really will kill people!"

Su Yu nodded: "It's fine. If your will really disperses, later we'll have the Human Sovereign's Dao wash you clean. You'll still know how to kill those guys. As for the rest... it doesn't matter!"

"A tool for killing?"

Wan Tiansheng was helpless, is that what he meant?

Su Yu nodded, that's what he meant!

"You... are truly ruthless!"

Su Yu smiled wryly: "Aren't you ruthless too, Head? Giving me this advice wasn't exactly pleasant. Whoever makes me suffer, I make them suffer!"

You damn well act like a human!

Wan Tiansheng was powerless, but Lan Tian's smile was radiant to the extreme: "I can do this. In ten days, I will definitely make Tiansheng undergo a thorough transformation, wash away his temperament. After washing, he will surely have more temperament!"

What temperament?

The temperament of a lunatic?

Wan Tiansheng wanted to complain, but Lan Tian grinned: "The speed of changing faces! Your face-changing is too slow now. Look at how fast Su Yu changes his face, look at me... right?"

In an instant, he went from grinning to cursing!

No sense of incongruity!

Su Yu rolled his eyes: Don't include me, I never change my face!

Lan Tian laughed again: "The so-called Path of Seven Emotions and Six Desires is the path of face-changing! I think I could also cultivate this path, but of course, I have a more suitable path, so I won't compete with you. Tiansheng, you can do it. In this era... if you don't step up, I don't step up, no one steps up, how can we save the living beings? The living beings are so adorable..."

Su Yu also nodded: "Lan Tian's words are not wrong! If we don't step up and all rely on others, how can that work?"

He looked into the distance and said softly: "To put it bluntly, the Human Sovereign and the others took their own worlds and followers and ran away. Can we chase after them? Kill them? The chaos is so vast, it's not just the Ten Thousand Realms! They have multiple worlds. Not to mention taking too many people, if they take a few dozen or a hundred people and run, what can you do?"

"The Dead Spirit Lord is even simpler. He doesn't have many followers. As a 39-path, he just ran away without much burden!"

"As for Qiong, needless to say. Although he hasn't opened a world, at a critical moment, he could defect to the Heaven Gate and Earth Gate, and they might not refuse!"

"Only we..."

Su Yu looked at Lan Tian, then at Wan Tiansheng: "Even if I run, Head, how many people do you think my world can take?"

"A hundred thousand? A million? Ten million?"

"What will they eat and drink?"

"Is there time to open up those fertile fields again, to get everyone food, drink, and clothing?"

"..."

Su Yu said calmly: "So this time, when I killed people, I almost kept all the path power for myself. Apart from Qiong taking a portion of the benefits, the rest I enjoyed alone! The Dao of Blade Ancestor, the Dao of God Ancestor, half the Dao of Chaos Lord... I took them all and did not share them with others!"

This time, almost all of it was taken by Su Yu.

Because he needed his own side to become strong!

“At the critical moment, they ran away—I don’t blame them! But you can’t just count on them either… understand?”

Wan Tiansheng nodded and sighed, “After all this talk, you still want me to give it a try, right?”

Experiencing a person’s life in a minute, experiencing it through willpower, not in a literal sense, like absorbing memories… but even so, he might still become completely twisted.

Wan Tiansheng thought he was still quite normal compared to madmen like Lan Tian and Su Yu.

But alas, to fit into this abnormal group, he had to drive himself crazy!

“Can I try it myself… Lan Tian doesn’t need to follow me…”

“No way!”

Su Yu refused: “You’ll be selective, only choosing kind, benevolent, or simple-minded people to experience—that won’t do! You’ll easily turn yourself into an idiot! You need to find all kinds of different people, and Lan Tian is good at that! Like finding murderers, psychos, villains, madmen, women, old ladies, old men…”

Lan Tian kept nodding, that could work!

Su Yu smiled: “Alright, let’s do it this way! Prefect, you have enough Dao power, you just lack insight. No matter what, get me to 32 Dao power. You know, to seize these Seven Emotions and Six Desires Daos, we paid a huge price! I gave them all to you; otherwise, if I had used them myself, I might have reached 38 Dao power!”

Wan Tiansheng rolled his eyes. Su Yu thought for a moment and said, “Lan Tian, seal his power. Don’t let him watch from an outsider’s perspective—make him immerse himself completely!”

“No problem!”

Lan Tian laughed!

Wan Tiansheng couldn’t help it: “Are you trying to kill me?”

Was this kid doing it on purpose?

Su Yu smiled, looked at him, and after a while said, “No, you have to become like us to succeed, otherwise… you’ll fall behind!”

Wan Tiansheng was truly speechless!

Before he could say anything, the next moment, Lan Tian seductively wrapped an arm around his neck and giggled, “Alright, little Wan Wan, let’s go! I’ll take you to have some fun—it’ll be interesting!”

“…”

Wan Tiansheng cast a pleading look at Su Yu, who waved his hand, go on!

What’s there to plead for!

You, Wan Tiansheng, have many faces—immortal, demon, sage—how could such a small problem stump you?

Besides, at this point, just treat a dead horse as if it’s still alive!

If he really breaks down and dies, it’s just one step ahead.

Yes, Su Yu wasn’t a hundred percent sure.

So what?

At worst, he’d just take that step ahead—it’s no big deal.

At this point, Su Yu had made his plans, plans for total annihilation. If Old Wan succeeded, that would be a pleasant surprise; if he failed… then he failed. Taking a step ahead would spare him from witnessing his own defeat!

“The Human Gate…”

Su Yu watched them leave and murmured.

Was Old Wan the Human Gate?

Was he the so-called Seventh, or the spirit of the Seal Gate, or the successor he spoke of?

Was there a mystery in this?

Perhaps there was, perhaps not.

But Su Yu didn’t really care anymore.

He truly didn’t care!

The Human Gate destroys the world—what world?

Anyway, he hadn’t felt the Human Gate destroying the world. He only knew that bastards like the Earth Gate and Heaven Gate were bent on devouring him and devouring all realms. So from Su Yu’s perspective, to hell with world destruction or not!

Whoever wants to kill me, I’ll kill them!

So Su Yu really didn’t care about Old Wan’s specifics, nor whether Wan Tiansheng’s answer was true or false!

The Heaven Gate said the Human Gate was right beside him!

Su Yu wanted to say… none of my damn business!

As long as you don’t come looking for trouble, I’ll join you in fighting the Human Gate. But if you come after me… then I’ll beat you to death first!

These Heaven Gate guys simply don’t understand Su Yu!

Enemy and friend follow my heart, not yours!

“After I beat you all to death, then I’ll investigate whether the Human Gate really exists or not…”

Su Yu muttered to himself; time was running out.

The strength of 36 Daos was very strong, but also very weak.

Lan Tian and Old Wan were just backup options.

The real deal still depended on himself.

Besides Old Wan’s method, did Su Yu have other ways to strengthen himself?

Yes!

It was just a matter of whether he wanted to use them or not.

…

Soon, Su Yu appeared in another place.

There was no one else here.

Only the Shadow Guards!

Shadow Guards who weren’t too shadowy.

Seeing Su Yu arrive, the group beamed with joy. Xia Huyou grinned, “Your Majesty, do the Shadow Guards have a mission?”

The group was very weak, but they were all excited.

Look, Su Yu came to us again—truly, we are the core.

Su Yu didn’t waste words and quickly said, “There are two choices! First, cooperate with Lan Tian! I plan to help Lan Tian devour the River of Time. What you need to do is simple: turn the River Dao into his Heaven and Earth Dao… It’s not too difficult, but not simple either—the chance of failure is extremely high!”

“Second, cooperate with me to help me merge my Dao!”

Before everyone could speak, Su Yu said, “The second option is ruled out. Lan Tian needs more help here, so you can only choose the first!”

Everyone was speechless—then why did you say it just to mess with us?

Su Yu laughed heartily, then quickly added, “Of course, not everyone has to do this!”

He looked around, then at a few people, “Liu Hong, you’re exempt!”

Liu Hong was delighted, “Then what do I do?”

“Your Dao is special, very useful. Even King Wen probably didn’t realize how useful your Dao is. You’ll be the three-pronged plug!”

“…”

Liu Hong was taken aback. What did that mean?

"Wen Wang and Wen Yu are not weak, but they only have 34 Dao now—not strong enough!"

Liu Hong nodded. Yes, not strong enough. Only you could say that!

Su Yu continued: "So, I need you to connect the heavens of me, Wen Wang, and Wen Yu!"

Liu Hong gasped: "My Dao only has two ends. How can I connect three?"

Do you really think I'm a three-pronged plug?

"Can't you split yourself?"

"..."

Liu Hong nearly choked coughing. Splitting my Dao... it's not impossible!

"Then you mean, extract their heaven's power to perfect your own heaven's power..."

"No!"

Su Yu shook his head: "How boring would that be?"

Liu Hong was stunned. Wasn't it?

Su Yu smiled: "At the critical moment, you extract my heaven's power and Wen Wang's heaven's power, and merge it all into Wen Yu's heaven! Wen Yu is the most low-key, but her heaven is actually suited to absorb our power. She is truly the collection of all Daos... So, while everyone's not paying attention, all eyes on me, we'll kill one after another! Your importance lies here—whether you succeed determines if we can kill a 36-Dao existence!"

Liu Hong listened, stunned. He knew Su Yu was cunning, but he never imagined Su Yu's audacity could break the sky!

"So you mean... you want to intimidate the enemy with your aura, so they dare not attack you?"

"Exactly!"

Su Yu nodded: "I'll deter one strong enemy, or even more, so they won't dare to strike... Then I won't be exposed. That way, when Wen Yu suddenly erupts, there's a chance to kill. Understand?"

"I understand..."

Liu Hong smiled bitterly: "But your heaven's power is very strong. I'm afraid I can't hold it! What if it bursts my Dao?"

This three-pronged thing of mine isn't that powerful either!

Su Yu nodded: "So, someone needs to assist you!"

Who can assist me?

Liu Hong glanced around at the people, somewhat helpless. No one seems able to assist me, right?

None of them seem fit!

"Tongtian!"

Su Yu, seeing him look around, laughed: "He is a gate, hard to burst. Let him transform into the inner gate of your Dao to consolidate it. Now Tongtian, I think he'll soon reach 20 Dao. With the Heavenly Gate and Earthly Gate forcibly opened, a lot of gate power spills out—it helps him greatly! Once he reaches 20 Dao and becomes your inner wall, he should be able to hold it!"

Liu Hong pondered and nodded.

Su Yu continued: "Your importance is huge! It concerns whether we can take down a top existence. I plan to have Wen Yu deal with one of Shi or Kong. Shi cultivates the Dao of Suppression, Kong the Dao of Thunder, and both are Yin Daos. Kill them, seize their Daos, and maybe Wen Yu can absorb them to become a 36-Dao herself! Or Wen Wang absorbs them... Shi and Kong are reserved for Wen Wang and Wen Yu to advance!"

Su Yu spoke as if the enemy was already doomed!

Of course, that was indeed Su Yu's plan.

Su Yu went on: "The Human Ancestor cultivates the Dao of the Flesh, the Heaven of the Flesh... Forget him for now. In short, your task is urgent... It's best to find a way to kill them before the Heavenly Gate and Earthly Gate recover. So, you might be called upon soon!"

Liu Hong licked his lips: "Then... do I get any benefit?"

Can you give me some benefit?

Otherwise, I feel a bit shortchanged!

Su Yu nodded: "Yes, if you die, I'll erect a stele for you: 'Tomb of Su Yu's Teacher.' See, does that do you justice?"

"..."

Liu Hong was speechless. After a long while, he said: "Well... it does have some prestige!"

Everyone suddenly laughed.

Su Yu also laughed and continued: "As for the others, mainly assist Lantian! You're too weak. If Lantian fails to swallow the sky, then you'll continue to assist me in swallowing the sky!"

"In the next few days, go out and kill more people to strengthen your Dao power!"

"As for Liu Hong, you can be used once; a second time won't be as useful. So after this succeeds, go do whatever you want!"

Heartless!

Liu Hong muttered inwardly. Just once, and I might die!

Xia Huyou spoke up: "What about me?"

"You?"

You're too weak!

Su Yu muttered, thought for a moment, and said: "You do nothing else. In the next few days, focus on reorganizing the human race. Ensure orders are followed! Wait for my command. The Human Ancestor buried his heaven in the human realm, using human power to perfect his own heaven. But since he borrowed human luck and faith... at the critical moment, give him a hard blow!"

Su Yu grinned: "Let him know that when people are united, even a 36-Dao heaven-opener will suffer!"

Xia Huyou understood somewhat and asked: "Curse him?"

"Not curse him!"

Su Yu shook his head: "It's to worship him!"

"What?"

Su Yu laughed: "Wait for my notice. At the critical moment, everyone shout 'The Human Ancestor is invincible, the Human Ancestor is mighty!' to transfer luck. Shift the luck to the Human Ancestor, making him suddenly powerful..."

Xia Huyou's eyes flickered: "You mean, too much luck will destabilize his heaven, and then we take the chance to kill him?"

The idea of praising him to death!

Xia Huyou understood, but still wondered: "Just shouting with our mouths?"

Is that enough?

If so, whoever I shout at dies?

Su Yu was speechless: "Nonsense, if it were that simple, you could shout everyone to death! It only works on the Human Ancestor, because his heaven has always been buried in the human realm. Besides, can he bear the title of Human Ancestor?"

"Of course, besides the Human Ancestor, the Human Emperor might also be shouted to death... Forget it, he's one of us, no need to trick him!"

Xia Huyou grinned.

Su Yu added: "Remember, arrange it in advance, don't leak the news. When you shout, it must be with one heart and mind. That's all you're good for! It must come from the depths of your hearts, truly revering him!"

Xia Huyou quickly nodded: "Alright! Now I rule the human realm. Whoever I say to worship, they worship!"

"..."

Su Yu glanced at him, snorted.

After arranging things, Su Yu was about to leave. Zhu Tiandao quickly asked: "Then what about me and Xia Xiao'er? Are we just to provide power for Lantian? Isn't that overkill?"

"..."

You two really overestimate yourselves!

Su Yu was speechless, looked at them, thought for a moment, and smiled: "No, there's another role. At the critical moment, you two will also be responsible for shouting the slogans..."

“......”

The two exchanged a glance, speechless—what slogan were they supposed to shout?

Shout something like “Su Yu is awesome”?

They were frustrated too; fine, it seemed they could only cooperate with Lan Tian to merge into the long river.

The others said nothing more, and Su Yu soon departed again.

He had more arrangements to make.

......

Meanwhile.

Time, too, was passing bit by bit.

The myriad realms began to descend into chaos.

A great number of rogue cultivators and ancient beasts, having lain low for a day or two, soon saw that the myriad realms’ strength seemed insufficient and grew reckless.

Slaughter began!

And the cultivators of the myriad realms also set out, conquering various domains, killing on all sides—the two sides commenced a mutual hunt across the entire myriad realms.

......

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

Over these three days, battles never ceased.

Cultivators above the 32 Dao did not make a move, but those below the 32 Dao frequently clashed, slaughtering countless; in the myriad realms, some small realms even began to perish.

And among the rogue cultivators and ancient beasts, many powerful ones were also slain!

Only the human realm—for now, few strong ones dared approach it.

Likewise, the wandering three races were a coveted prize in everyone’s eyes. These days, Tian Gu and his few companions hid and fled, leading their clans in aimless wandering. Su Yu’s side had yet to act, but they were already on the verge of collapse!

At this moment, in a small realm within the myriad realms.

Tian Gu looked at the Divine Emperor and said with a bitter smile: “Still waiting?”

The Divine Emperor wanted to wait until Su Yu grew anxious and impatient, then offer timely help—but Tian Gu felt that if they waited any longer, they would be finished!

He sighed: “Indeed, those not of the same era care nothing for your life or death! These days, the ones hunting us most fiercely are actually the remnants of some gods, demons, and immortals from the Three Ancestors’ Forbidden Land...”

Because their races were the same, their Daos similar—these days, the ones pursuing them most relentlessly were not the ancient beasts, not the rogue cultivators, but the group that survived after the Three Ancestors’ Forbidden Land shattered.

Few in number.

After the three great strong ones died, the forbidden land exploded, causing many deaths; the demon domain was nearly wiped out, but on the immortal and god sides, some still lived.

And Tian Gu and his people—these were the ones those survivors most wished to devour!

The Divine Emperor also sighed helplessly, deeply helpless!

They hid and fled; the ancient beasts and rogue cultivators could never find them—it wasn’t that they absolutely had to kill them—but those fellows pursued them all the way, especially after the God Ancestor died last.

When he died, Su Yu had no time to deal with those in the God Ancestor’s Forbidden Land; one cultivator at the 26 Dao still lived.

Also a god!

Now, he had become the vanguard in hunting them, searching everywhere.

As for the Divine Emperor, even if he claimed to have merged his three bodies, merged his future body, and was very dangerous... no one cared anymore. After the God Ancestor’s death, these people were like abandoned existences—who still cared about the future!

First, improve themselves!

Tian Gu, seeing his helplessness, spoke: “How about we find a way to contact Su Yu and the others now? It’s been three days; I see no movement from him, and who knows what he’s planning. If we wait any longer, he might turn the tables!”

The Divine Emperor exhaled: “When it really comes to this... I’m still a bit afraid... Tell me, is this how everyone feels when they’re about to die?”

He spoke with great righteousness.

Yet, when it truly came to this moment, when Tian Gu said to go to Su Yu, he grew afraid again!

Tian Gu smiled and nodded: “It’s only human! I’m afraid too!”

“You’re afraid too?”

The Divine Emperor was surprised: “I thought you wouldn’t be afraid?”

“How could that be!”

Tian Gu laughed: “Who wants to die? Having lived so many years, the older you get, the more you fear death! The young are impulsive, hot-blooded—they may not know the feeling of death—but I am afraid, terrified...”

The Divine Emperor gave a bitter smile: “So you’re afraid too! Tell me... if we go to him, is there a chance he’ll let us live?”

With some anticipation, some hope, even some wild longing!

Tian Gu was silent for a moment, then spoke: “You can flee, really—I’ll take the people and go! You’ve had almost no contact with him, and you never kept opposing him; he defeated you the first time he faced you, so he might not hold a grudge. But I’m different—when he was weak, I constantly led people to besiege him! Of the 36 mansion lords who opened the human realm, many died!”

All his doing!

Several times he nearly made Su Yu stumble—whether Su Yu turned into a half-dead spirit, or was almost killed in the human realm, or those mansion lords were slain—all were absolutely tied to the immortals!

Whether others lived or died, Su Yu didn’t care.

If Tian Gu didn’t die, Su Yu would feel like a fishbone stuck in his throat—he would never let it go.

The Divine Emperor smiled bitterly: “Flee to where?”

“There’s always a way!”

“Forget it!”

The Divine Emperor sighed: “I originally thought we could outlast him, but it turns out we’re the ones who can’t hold out first! These old-era fellows also bully the weak and fear the strong—clearly Su Yu kills them the most fiercely, yet no one dares to cause trouble in the human realm.”

Not just rogue cultivators; those strong ones, Heaven Gate and Earth Gate, have been quiet lately.

The Divine Emperor then smiled: “So, go to the human realm?”

“Mm!”

Tian Gu nodded, then added: “If we go, we should go early. If we’re late, once that fellow finds a way to deal with them, and we go then, we might miss the chance!”

“Is this rushing to our deaths?”

The Divine Emperor mocked himself: “Even when I opposed the Human Emperor back then, I never felt this way!”

“The Human Emperor...”

Tian Gu laughed: “The Human Emperor was still human! Being human, he had thoughts, intentions—there were ways to deal with him! That fellow, he’s no longer human! Do you still think he’s human? He was a half-dead spirit, he even died several times, and later he incarnated as the spirit of heaven and earth! Let me put it this way—you feel he’s human, but he really isn’t!”

Tian Gu chuckled: “Now his opponents all treat him as human... deal with him as a human—forget it! Those fellows are fundamentally wrong; he’s not like the Human Emperor and the others! The Human Emperor and them had weaknesses—Su Yu... has none!”

“What about his family?”

The Divine Emperor asked: “I’ve heard he cares a lot about his family.”

Tian Gu nodded: “He does care, but the premise is that they’re alive. Dead family... well, they’re dead—gone early, beyond deliverance! This fellow has a tendency toward annihilation!”

Tian Gu said gravely: “Believe me, I suspect he is the reincarnation of the Human Gate! Or even... the Human Gate itself! They say the Human Gate brings annihilation—I think this world may ultimately be destroyed by his hands! The Human Gate has never truly appeared for many years—ha, maybe he is it!”

The Divine Emperor was stunned, looking at Tian Gu, finding it somewhat unbelievable.

But Tian Gu was very calm: “The Human Gate is in the heart—that’s what Su Yu said, and many others say it too! So what is the Human Gate? A fragment of consciousness, a belief, or could it be that everyone might be the Human Gate? Anyone who wants to annihilate the world might be the Human Gate! And the one standing now in the River of Time—is that really the Human Gate? Or is it just a dead thing?”

The God Emperor inhaled sharply: “That’s not right—Ji Tian and the others said the Human Gate ordered Su Yu’s death…”

Tian Gu was unimpressed: “First, it may not be true! Second, it might be their own thought. The Human Gate is the human heart, and the heart is that all Eight Saints know Su Yu is troublesome. After Su Yu shattered the Heavenly Gate plan, everyone knew he was a menace… they must kill him! The Eight Saints might all harbor such thoughts. If the Human Gate standing there amplifies desires… then the Eight Saints might all conceive the same idea: kill Su Yu, must kill!”

“Thus, the Eight Saints aren’t lying—they truly heard the Human Gate’s command to kill Su Yu! But this command might just be the deepest desire in their own hearts, magnified into what they believe is the Human Gate’s order!”

Tian Gu said gravely: “Does this world truly have a Human Gate?”

“No!”

The God Emperor said solemnly: “In the early days of creation, those founding elders were still alive. They said the Lord of Time sealed the Human Gate—how could that be false?”

“Is what we see always true?”

“Must the Lord of Time seal one gate?”

Tian Gu remained unimpressed: “Forget it, true or false. Su Yu is no better than the Human Gate—they’re cut from the same cloth! If you don’t believe me, just watch: if the Human Gate truly exists and wants to destroy the world… Su Yu might even applaud!”

After a few jokes, he spoke: “Find a way to get close to the Human Realm! No matter what Su Yu’s situation is…”

“What about seeking the Human Emperor?”

The God Emperor suddenly said: “Seek the Human Emperor, tell him all this—maybe you and I can survive!”

Seeking Su Yu seemed like certain death!

But Tian Gu shook his head: “The Human Emperor has 36 Dao lines, and he’s in league with King Wen, King Wu, and Wen Yu. On the surface, he seems powerful—only Su Yu himself is strong on his side. But counting on the Human Emperor… forget it. He already made a mess of the ancient times. It’s not that I look down on the Human Emperor, but he’s not as mad as Su Yu!”

He dismissed the suggestion.

The God Emperor felt a pang of sorrow: “I still don’t want to die!”

“I understand your worry, elder!”

Tian Gu smiled. “Let’s go!”

The God Emperor had no choice but to shake his head and follow, muttering as he walked: “Tell me, if I fled now, would I make it in time?”

“You would!”

“Sigh!”

The God Emperor sighed again and again, following Tian Gu toward the Human Realm, his murmurs unceasing, still laced with reluctance: “I just don’t want to die so miserably… Is there a more glorious plan?”

“There is!”

“What?”

The God Emperor perked up. Tian Gu laughed: “While you’re still alive, when we reach the gates of the Human Realm, shout loudly: ‘Heaven, Earth, and Human Gates are all dogs; only the Yu Emperor endures forever!’—you’ll be remembered in history!”

The God Emperor nearly laughed in anger!

He looked at Tian Gu, speechless. “Tian Gu, you really dare to think! Weren’t you always so rigid before? How have you become so unreliable now?”

Tian Gu didn’t turn back, his laughter drifting: “Just comforting myself. Actually, I don’t regret fighting Su Yu. What I regret most is that I still didn’t take him seriously enough. I should have struck him down myself when he was still in the Soaring Void stage!”

The God Emperor almost laughed: “You, a Dao-Integrator, going after someone in the Soaring Void?”

What a gap!

“Why not?” Tian Gu laughed. “Or I should have been more decisive back then—before the Upper Realm opened, I should have destroyed one realm first, then opened the Upper Realm. Of course, it’s too late to say that now. But sometimes I wonder: if I had done it then, would the outcome have been different?”

He paused, then laughed again: “Or what if the Human-Immortal Alliance hadn’t collapsed back then, but had endured in silence? What then? At the beginning of this tide, to keep a few human powerhouses in the Upper Realm hanging on, the Human-Immortal Alliance was maintained all along!”

“You should have joined forces at the start of this tide to destroy the Human Realm!”

The God Emperor scolded. Tian Gu chuckled: “If I had known Su Yu would rise in the last few years, I would have done it. But the thing is, I didn’t know! Besides, it might not have succeeded. Have you forgotten the Great Zhou King? That old fellow, if he went all out at a critical moment, we might not have been a match!”

The God Emperor nodded slightly.

The two exchanged words for a while, and by now, they were extremely close to the Human Realm.

And near the Human Realm, there was an advantage: rogue cultivators and ancient beasts dared not come!

Even the strong who had been tracking them from afar now faintly appeared in the distance but dared not approach any closer!

A man’s reputation is like a tree’s shadow!

With Su Yu guarding the Human Realm, and the Heaven and Earth Gates not showing themselves, even Ji Tian dared not approach the Human Realm. Who isn’t afraid of death?

…

At that moment, Su Yu, who was on the Path of Equilibrium, suddenly furrowed his brow slightly.

He looked beyond the Human Realm, a hint of surprise and oddity in his eyes.

I seem to sense some familiar auras!

What the hell?

Su Yu was a little puzzled and murmured: “Are they asking for death?”

They weren’t thinking of taking refuge in the Human Realm, were they?

That would truly be seeking death!

And just as he was wondering, suddenly, a thunderous roar echoed in all directions!

“The myriad realms’ Divine Clan, Immortal Clan, Demon Clan, Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, Nether Clan… pay homage to the Lord of the Human Realm, His Majesty the Yu Emperor!”

“The Three Gates are doomed to fall; the Yu Emperor is sure to triumph! All races honor the Human Realm’s Yu Emperor, to partake in this grand occasion!”

“Destroy the Three Gates, create a new era!”

The mighty sound shook heaven and earth!

…

At that moment.

In the Earth Gate region.

One by one, powerhouses opened their eyes and looked into the distance, but soon, they paid little attention.

Just a few small fry!

If the Three Ancestors were still here, they might have taken notice. But now, they were merely a band of wandering weaklings from the myriad realms—nothing to worry about.

…

At the same time.

In the Human Realm.

The Human Emperor and the others also opened their eyes, a strange look on their faces.

The Human Realm might not win.

These fellows, at this moment, had come to the Human Realm. And the key point was… the Yu Emperor… were they surrendering to Su Yu?

How odd!

Didn’t they know Su Yu’s nature? With Su Yu’s temperament, even if you surrendered, he might not accept you. That kid’s hands were black!

Beside him, King Wen suddenly smiled: “What do you think?”

The Human Emperor gave a wry smile: “Nothing much. I just find it… rather ironic!”

King Wen nodded and let out a sigh.

Looking beyond the border, he sighed and said, "After years of conflict, in the end we still have to come and surrender... how pathetic! But meeting someone like Su Yu, I doubt our chances of survival are great!"

The Human Emperor nodded as well, rising to his feet. "Let's go take a look together! After all, there are many old acquaintances there."

King Wen nodded. Even now, they were puzzled—what were these people thinking?

Were they not afraid that Su Yu would simply wipe them all out in one fell swoop?

This man truly was not one to be soft-hearted.

At that moment, Su Yu also soared into the air, flying toward the border, a strange expression on his face. So they felt unsafe and came to seek my protection?

Did they think I, Su Yu, was easy to talk to?

Since they've delivered themselves to my doorstep, I'll just devour them!
