Chapter 946: Emperor of the New Universe

(So annoying to wrap up, stuck to death)

On that wall, some reasons for the extinction of heaven and earth were recorded.

This man left no name, but he walked the path of blood, so perhaps he could be called the Blood Lord.

The Blood Lord wandered in chaos and encountered the Lord of Time, the one he called "the sword-wielder." The latter held the Sky Sword and was a powerful swordsman.

The two met in chaos, and the exact reason for their conflict was unknown to Su Yu and the others; the Blood Lord did not record it.

But the outcome was known.

The Blood Lord was easily defeated by the other, and even heaven and earth were shattered into pieces.

The Lord of Time did not kill the Blood Lord, but in that situation, the Blood Lord was gravely wounded in the core of heaven and earth by the Lord of Time, leaving him unable to survive. Even if he could live, he would be crippled.

In the end, the Blood Lord extinguished himself in this heaven and earth, along with his entire realm, and his great path died out.

"Dead..."

Seeing this, Su Yu and the others felt complicated. This one had actually died. These were merely some lamentations left behind at the moment of his extinction.

Lamenting that he was born at the wrong time, that that fellow was too strong, that heaven and earth were opened but failed to become a living universe of beings.

In his words, there was not much hatred toward the Lord of Time, only a lament that the other was too powerful.

After watching for a while, everyone began to feel somewhat strange.

"When I extinguish, my blood energy will scatter for millions of miles... A few people will be invaded by the blood energy. I wonder if heaven and earth will ever be reopened..."

Seeing this line, everyone looked at each other and suddenly understood something.

Wen Yu spoke: "He's talking about the three ancestors of gods, immortals, and demons, right? That is, when he extinguished, his blood energy scattered, rippling for millions of miles, invading those few, even forcibly twisting some of their bloodline powers..."

The bloodline origins of the three ancestors of gods, immortals, and demons did not seem to come from inheritance but were caused by the invasion of blood energy when he extinguished.

From this, it could be seen that this Blood Lord was indeed formidable!

Even in death,

his blood energy could still affect the three ancestors.

When he died, heaven and earth sealed themselves, transforming into the Human Emperor Seal.

Thus, the ancestors of the three races gained three special innate skills.

Divine Transformation, Demonic Arrival, Immortal Power Possession.

In fact, they were all the same: summoning a bloodline power to enhance oneself. This bloodline power came from this heaven and earth, but because heaven and earth had extinguished, the summoned power was not strong.

In fact, the innate skills of the three races were growing weaker, not only because the Human Emperor had taken away the Human Emperor Seal but also because heaven and earth themselves were in extinction, growing weaker, so the summoned power became increasingly faint.

Tian Gu should be considered one of the more powerful atavistic ones, inheriting quite a bit of this special bloodline power.

Therefore, Dou Bao had always wanted to eat him... In fact, it was an instinctive reaction of a spirit of heaven and earth to replenish its own consumption!

Because Tian Gu's bloodline power might be the same as that of heaven and earth, and Dou Bao, as a spirit of heaven and earth, urgently needed to replenish this energy because heaven and earth had extinguished.

Although King Wen had found another path for it, the path of illusion, its instinct remained.

Thus, it had stared at Tian Gu for countless years!

The Blood Lord only left some lamentations at the moment of death, with not much about the time before the opening of heaven or the deeds of the Lord of Time.

At this moment, Su Yu watched for a while and sighed: "If the three ancestors or Tian Gu had entered, they would have had a great hope of inheriting this heaven and earth! But I think this one, when dying, preferred this place to become a graveyard. Otherwise, there was no need to seal heaven and earth themselves!"

Since he could invade the blood of the three ancestors far away, if he had been willing to let someone inherit heaven and earth back then, he could have done so long ago.

But the Blood Lord did not do that.

He let heaven and earth extinguish along with him!

Everyone nodded slightly, generally understanding the situation. But since the Blood Lord was dead, he did not write much in detail. The final words were probably just some unwillingness at the moment of extinction, so he left some introduction about the Lord of Time.

A powerful existence!

He seemed quite domineering and overbearing. The two met in chaos, started fighting at the slightest disagreement, and after the fight, the other just patted his butt and ran off, not caring at all whether the Blood Lord lived or died.

As for Su Yu, the others did not say much.

Su Yu most likely had some bloodline from the three races, and there was a considerable chance he had some of Tian Gu's bloodline. Of course, these were digressions, and they did not dwell on it.

Saying it was meaningless.

Not to mention Tian Gu, most of the current human race also had bloodline inheritance from Tianmen, but they still turned against each other when necessary. The human race had passed through countless ages, and bloodlines were extremely complex.

People like Xing could even trace their ancestry back to the old ancestors, but they still had to deal with them. The other side would not consider you family just because you had some of their bloodline.

After reading all this, the Human Emperor spoke: "This information actually doesn't have much. First, the sword used by the Lord of Time is called the Sky Sword, which might consist of two divine characters: one is 'Sky,' and the other is 'Vault.' The Vault is here, so has the Sky completely shattered or disappeared?"

"Second, the three ancestors are not the direct bloodline descendants of the Blood Lord. They are just variations caused by the scattering of blood energy invading their bloodlines when he extinguished."

"Third, this heaven and earth is actually half-dead. Dou Bao is not the original spirit of heaven and earth but a spirit extracted by the Second from the half-dead state, so it is not a native spirit!"

"Fourth, the Lord of Time is very powerful, so powerful that even this Blood Lord was killed by him. Note that this was not an instant kill but death from severe injuries. This means the other was so strong that the Blood Lord could not heal himself. An opener of heaven rarely falls unless killed instantly. Dying from unhealable wounds is truly terrifying!"

Apart from these, the remaining text did not contain much information.

And in this heaven and earth, besides this hall, there seemed to be no other buildings. The hall itself was very simple and left few traces.

At this moment, the Human Emperor looked at Su Yu: "Since your path of blood has spread to this heaven and earth, you should be able to inherit it! With Dou Bao's help, you might even merge it into your own heaven and earth. In my view, this Blood Lord, when alive, had at least 40 paths, at the very least! Of course, now that heaven and earth have extinguished and suffered great losses over the years, it is no longer strong. But I think it should still give you a considerable boost!"

This heaven and earth suited Su Yu!

Although it was half-wasted, far from its prime, and inheriting it would not give Su Yu 40 paths, the Human Emperor and the others judged that it could at least increase Su Yu's power by two or three paths.

It might even push him to the level of the Lord of the Dead!

Thus, Su Yu's strength would increase significantly. The two gates of heaven and earth had not yet fully recovered. If Su Yu could digest this heaven and earth before they fully recovered, he and the Lord of the Dead could join forces to deal with the two gates.

This was probably the greatest opportunity Su Yu had gained from his many battles.

The others said nothing, but the Vault seemed unconcerned and asked with some confusion: "Do you think the Sky shattered or was lost somewhere?"

"..."

He was still thinking about that!

Su Yu laughed and said casually: "The Sky Sword shattered during the opening of heaven. If the Sky did not transform into a human back then, it most likely shattered and merged into the River of Time. Sky... Sky Heaven, Sky Life, Sky Vault... merged into the River of Time..."

Su Yu laughed: "Could it be that it has now transformed into the Path of Sky Life?"

The Vault was slightly startled and looked at Su Yu. Su Yu continued: "Some paths are very special. They were not opened by predecessors but exist in the River of Time, such as Wan Fuzhang's Path of Seven Emotions and Six Desires, or Lan Tian's Path of Sky Life! So, the Sky in the Sky Sword might have transformed into the Path of Sky Life!"

The Vault immediately grew anxious: "Does that mean Lan Tian is my brother?"

"..."

Su Yu shrugged: "Not exactly. The Sky might have transformed into a path, and Lan Tian opened that path, so it is Lan Tian's path! If you had completely shattered back then, you might have also turned into a path, merged into the River, and waited for someone to open it later!"

Su Yu continued with a smile: "Of course, this is just speculation! The Path of Sky Life may not necessarily be related to the character 'Sky.' Sky Vault can also mean the heavens above, the blue sky... The heaven we speak of is the heaven reflected by the River of Time. So the divine character 'Sky' might have become part of the River, or even part of the myriad realms."

Su Yu went on: "The Lord of Time is very strong, and I think his sword is also very strong. But the opening of heaven broke the sword. Perhaps it was because the power was too great, turning into part of the myriad realms, causing the Sky Sword to be damaged. The divine character 'Sky' has probably long dissipated and spread throughout the myriad realms!"

The Vault was greatly disappointed!

"So, I can never fully restore the original Sky Sword?"

Su Yu nodded: "Most likely, it cannot be done!"

At this moment, several figures stepped out of the great hall—a dead silent world, a dead silent River of Bloodline, everything steeped in utter stillness.

Even though Doubao had entered that Blood Path Scripture, it could not change the fact that this world had entered a period of deathly silence.

To restore its vitality would be immensely difficult, requiring much time to nurture it slowly.

Devouring such a world might be the best outcome.

Su Yu looked at the Human Emperor: "This world has always been under your control, and you just give it to me? You could use it yourself too. This realm—we are not meant to inherit and repair it. If it were about inheritance and restoration, that would be difficult for you. But devouring... everyone can do it!"

If it were about inheritance and restoration, others might not be suitable.

Su Yu, however, was quite fitting!

But when it came to devouring, everyone had their own realms, and all could devour—it was merely a matter of conversion efficiency.

The Human Emperor smiled: "Do you think I’m not as generous as you, Su Yu? After entering the Earth Gate, I took the Myriad Dao Stone, devoured the Eternal Bamboo, and swallowed the Dao power of Taotie and Ancient Ox. By your logic... should you take all these things?"

Sometimes, treasures are easy to find, but hearts are hard to come by.

Su Yu—when stingy, if you offend him once, he will remember you for a lifetime.

But when generous, like with Kong’s Dao, he never even touched it.

The Human Emperor’s Seal had been in his hands for years. This world, he could also devour, and after devouring, his improvement might not be less than Su Yu’s. He could even become a 38-Dao or 39-Dao cultivator, a pillar to resist the enemy.

Doubao, the spirit of this world, was created by King Wen. King Wen could have devoured it too, and Doubao would have cooperated.

Yet the Human Emperor felt Su Yu was more suitable!

Seeing Su Yu silent, he continued with a smile: "You are the link between us, the mediator! If you are not strong enough—to put it bluntly—the result might be like that of Ji Tian and the others. You say everyone is willing to listen to you... but there’s a premise: we are still alive, not yet feeling the crisis of death... When that moment truly comes, we may not be any stronger than them!"

As the leader maintaining this relationship, Su Yu should be even stronger!

Currently, Su Yu was much weaker than the Lord of the Dead—that was not necessarily a good thing.

The Human Emperor continued: "If you rise to 39 Dao, and the Heaven and Earth Gates haven’t recovered, that’s your current strength! You and the Lord of the Dead resist the two gates; Qiong at 38 Dao can handle Ji Tian! I at 36 Dao can deal with Zhou! Kong’s Dao, devoured by Old Wen, if he can reach 36 Dao, with Wen Yu, he can handle Yu or Jing Tian... Tai Shan can take on Sun and Moon... In that case, our odds are much greater!"

Then the gap would shrink considerably.

Of course, there would still be a gap. Yu or Jing Tian—King Wen with Wen Yu could only resist one, not both.

Su Yu looked at the Human Emperor, then at the others, and finally turned to the Lord of the Dead, smiling: "Bloodline power also contains rich vitality! Old Dead, your death power has always outweighed life power. If you could have enough life power to strengthen your realm, I think reaching 40 Dao is possible!"

The Lord of the Dead raised an eyebrow slightly but said nothing.

Su Yu continued: "Everyone here has improved somewhat recently. Old Dead, you are currently our main force. After the dual heavens merged, you’ve had almost no improvement. Any thoughts?"

The Lord of the Dead said flatly: "If you keep calling me Old Dead, I’ll have plenty of thoughts!"

Then calmly: "If you want to absorb it, just absorb it. Why all the nonsense? Before the dual heavens merged, I perished once in the Heaven Gate and had a decent improvement. It’s enough!"

Su Yu laughed, then quickly said: "Forget it—I won’t absorb this realm! Let King Wen and Wen Yu split it. Both might enter 36 Dao. Give Kong’s Dao to King Wu—he can at least reach 34 Dao..."

King Wen and Wen Yu both looked at Su Yu in surprise. Su Yu said calmly: "Having a few more 36-Dao cultivators might be better! It’s not that I, Su Yu, insist on balance, but on my side... becoming too strong right now might not be a good thing!"

The others pondered.

Not a good thing?

Su Yu had been spreading all Dao powers evenly. If he now over-strengthened the Blood Dao, it might indeed not be good. Of course, he could rise to 39 Dao.

But it wasn’t guaranteed, and the nature of his realm would change!

Absorbing too much would make his realm’s power predominantly bloodline-based, turning him into the next Blood Lord—pointless.

Sometimes, not every realm is suitable for devouring.

"King Wen and Wen Yu each absorb a part to strengthen their realms. If both of you advance, things will be much easier!"

They exchanged glances. Su Yu had given up!

When they entered, Su Yu’s Blood Word Divine Art had manifested, and everyone felt this realm belonged to Su Yu.

Perhaps some envied him, but Su Yu had indeed contributed much to their group.

Giving it to him was not unacceptable.

Even the Lord of the Dead could accept it—but if it were given to someone else, he might not. Now, he frowned: "Two 34-Dao becoming two 36-Dao is worse than one 39-Dao! Su Yu, what are you thinking?"

He frowned: "Don’t think I’m too strong. I’m not weak, nor do I belittle myself. As one of the two gates, I fear no one in single combat! But now I have to deal with both gates—I can’t manage!"

Su Yu smiled: "Don’t rush. I haven’t been idle lately! Rest assured, when war truly breaks out, I’ll find a way to handle one gate..."

The Lord of the Dead stared at him, silent for a moment.

Could he?

King Wen frowned slightly: "If Wen Yu and I draw from this realm..."

Su Yu raised a hand: "Enough, it’s settled! Besides, if Wen Yu grows stronger, it benefits me too. In critical moments, I can still borrow Wen Yu’s realm power!"

Making these two stronger was something Su Yu had always wanted but couldn’t achieve.

Now, it was an opportunity.

And King Wu could also rise a notch, ensuring he could handle Sun and Moon without trouble. Before, fighting two of equal rank alone, King Wu might not have won for sure. Now, if he entered 34 Dao, against two 32-Dao, as the most battle-hardened, victory was certain!

As the coordinator, Su Yu had to optimize combat power.

"It’s decided. Doubao, cooperate with King Wen and Wen Yu to draw the realm’s power! Since you’ve become the realm’s spirit, that’s fine. Wen Yu’s realm has no spirit—go be hers!"

Su Yu smiled: "Didn’t you say Feiqiu bullies you? As a realm spirit, your power will soar, and Feiqiu won’t be able to beat you. You can bully Feiqiu every day!"

Doubao blinked. Become Wen Yu’s realm spirit?

King Wen already had a realm spirit—the Book Spirit.

Su Yu and the Human Emperor had both become spirits themselves, but Wen Yu still lacked one. Doubao, being the original spirit of this realm, was quite suitable.

Wen Yu didn’t refuse.

Doubao had been her childhood playmate.

Later, Doubao wasn’t as fun, so she stopped playing with him, and Doubao mostly followed King Wen.

Beside them, Qiong muttered: "You could give it to me too! I’m at 38 Dao. With it, I might even reach 40 Dao..."

Su Yu laughed: "Eat Yu Wang or the Human Ancestor, and you’ll be the same! What’s the rush? If I give it to you, resource utilization won’t be maximized. With me, Su Yu, I don’t claim absolute fairness, but generally, everyone gets a chance!"

Qiong said sheepishly: "Just saying!"

Su Yu had done well. This alliance was far more stable than the enemy’s, thanks to his efforts to keep it intact.

Qiong, the Lord of the Dead, the Human Emperor’s faction, and Su Yu himself—four parties.

Now, maintaining balance among them was largely Su Yu’s achievement.

"Don’t waste time. Let’s begin!"

Su Yu didn’t want to say more. Quickly: "King Wen, you and Wen Yu each draw some realm power. If there’s any left, give it to King Wu! If King Wu devours Kong’s Dao, I don’t know if he can reach 35 Dao... If not, with leftover realm power, he might still make it to 35 Dao..."

He added: "Reaching 36 Dao will be hard. King Wu won’t have many chances to improve in the short term!"

He had already absorbed the Yin Realm Dao and undergone nirvana. To improve further, he would need to open his own heaven!

But King Wu’s Dao was too pure!

Su Yu suddenly thought of something, hesitated, but did not speak. The Human Ancestor had left behind one more path—the path of the physical body, the human race's physical path. But he had promised that path to the War Emperor!

Lately, the War Emperor had also been absorbing the power of this great path.

In truth, the War Emperor's strength was no longer great; at this point, he had barely reached the power of twenty paths.

That physical path might be more suitable for the War King.

Yet after some deliberation, Su Yu still said nothing.

"Don't just stand there, everyone—let's begin! Old Death, I'll trouble you to go out and keep watch... I need to comprehend the great paths of this place. King Wen, you all may start absorbing!"

The Human Emperor sighed and nodded, remarking with emotion, "Su Yu... you have actually done better than me!"

Sometimes, he felt Su Yu was impulsive.

But at other times, he had to admit that Su Yu was far more decisive than he was.

Now, for this group to unite—without Su Yu, there would be almost no hope of forging such an alliance.

Su Yu smiled. "Why so sentimental? Feeling old?"

The Human Emperor chuckled and said no more.

Soon, the Human Emperor departed, and Qiong and the Lord of the Dead also walked out.

Su Yu sat cross-legged, not absorbing the power of this place, but instead picking up the Blood Path Scripture and reading it. Doubao looked at Su Yu curiously. Su Yu raised his head to meet Doubao's gaze, and Doubao asked, "Su Yu, what exactly is our relationship?"

"..."

Su Yu was taken aback. At a time like this, you bring this up?

I thought you were curious about something else, but instead you ask me what we are to each other?

"Think about it—my little furball is your companion, so you're like my nephew... Then, you're of the same generation as September, and my Cooking Cake is the origin of February, so I'm your ancestor! I am the spirit of this world, and you might be the bloodline heir of the Lord of this world... So what does that make us?"

"..."

You sure have a lot of questions!

Su Yu was speechless. This guy, what nonsense was he thinking?

Su Yu grabbed Doubao by the head, kneaded it vigorously for a while, then casually tossed him over to Wen Yu, saying with a laugh, "You take him and play with him. This fellow, at his age, still has so many questions!"

Doubao was exasperated—he was genuinely curious!

But Su Yu paid him no further heed and began reading on his own.

He had noticed that every world had a book, and the book was the core!

King Wen had one, he had one, Wen Yu had one...

Everyone had one!

This place had one too.

What about the River of Time?

If the River of Time also had one, where was that book?

And what should that book be called?

Su Yu had the Record of Civilization, King Wen had the Scripture of Ten Thousand Paths, Wen Yu had the Scroll of Time, the Human Emperor had the Human Emperor Scripture, and the Lord of the Dead had the Atlas of Death...

"So, the River of Time might also have a book! And if Blue Sky wants to devour the River of Time, he must first find that book!"

"Book... the Gate of Humanity..."

Could these two be connected?

Su Yu sank into thought.

Suppose the Gate of Humanity—Su Yu meant the Sealing Gate that Wan Tiansheng had spoken of—if that Sealing Gate were transformed from a book?

"No... the Sealing Gate is primarily the path of the seven emotions and six desires! But the River of Time is not primarily that path!"

"That Sealing Gate is likely an independently existing great path, or a world!"

And there was evidence for this!

Before, Su Yu couldn't be certain, but now, since the Human Emperor Seal could be a world, the Sealing Gate might also be a world or a great path!

And it was not weak!

Since it existed independently, it couldn't be the core book of the River of Time!

Thus, there was a ninety percent chance that the River of Time still had a book hidden within its currents, and that was its true core.

"What exactly is the core great path of the River of Time?"

Su Yu pondered. Earlier, he had thought it might be the power of time.

But if Ji Tian's words were correct, the River of Time's function was actually sealing. If so, then the core of the River of Time might be the path of sealing?

No... not necessarily.

One thought after another surfaced in Su Yu's mind.

Not far away, Wen Yu and the others glanced at him. Seeing him lost in thought, Wen Yu sent a telepathic message: "Brother, now do you still think he resembles you?"

King Wen looked at Su Yu, smiled, and shook his head slightly, replying via telepathy: "He and I are not really alike. This fellow is very complicated... Enough of that. Let's absorb. He has given up strengthening himself and yielded this to us... We must not waste his intentions!"

Wen Yu said no more. The two of them drew in their worlds, and soon the entire world trembled, rapidly beginning to absorb the somewhat stagnant River of Blood.

In truth, this was quite wasteful!

If nurtured for a few more years, it might have directly made someone a forty-path powerhouse.

But now, they could only drain that power, incorporating the entire world into themselves—a kind of scorched-earth approach.

Yet to grow strong quickly, no one cared anymore!

Their auras began to rise.

The War King, too, started absorbing the great path of Kong, and his aura also increased.

...

As for Su Yu, he read his book while thinking, all the while continuing to balance his own great-path power.

He wanted to balance all his great-path power.

He might even have to abandon some power, which could weaken his strength, but Su Yu didn't care. After balancing, fusion would be easier—gain and loss often hinged on that very moment.

Only by letting go could one gain!

Originally, Su Yu had fused 108 acupoints and entered the thirty-six-path level.

Now, as he constantly balanced his great-path power, he had fused 136 acupoints, yet he still remained at thirty-six-path power, without any increase!

The War King was still somewhat entangled with him, but Su Yu directly cut off the connection, no longer controlling the War King's path. He even planned to wait until the War King grew stronger, then kick him out of his world entirely!

Let the War King himself fully incorporate the path into his body and break free from Su Yu's world.

In the past, Su Yu had been doing addition; now, he was also doing some subtraction.

"My world doesn't necessarily need so many people. Strength alone doesn't mean much. What I really need are those with high intelligence... those who can help me fuse paths—one such person is worth ten!"

"So, those who walk the path of the Divine Literati are actually better!"

Divine Script Masters all wield multiple divine scripts; their Great Dao may not be strong, but these individuals have some skill in merging Daos.

War King and the others, formidable as they seem, are not truly adept at mastering multiple Great Daos.

Each excels in their own specialty!

War King and his ilk focus on a single path—this is not the kind of talent Su Yu seeks.

Su Yu sank into contemplation.

Civilization Masters…

His own teachers, in truth, were all Civilization Masters, yet their comprehension of the Great Dao was not profound; however, the Multi-Script faction did have some understanding of multiple Daos.

Should he invite them to emerge from seclusion?

Their strength was too weak!

Having not even reached the pinnacle of a single path, could they manage to merge Daos?

Moreover, the scattered cultivators brought back from the Heavenly Gate might need to be cast out. Su Yu would not burn the bridge after crossing it and kill them outright, but he could hand them over to Human Emperor and the others, who also possessed many Great Daos.

“Perhaps I need to purge the number of people within my Great Dao’s heaven and earth… They need not be powerful, but they must have sharp minds!”

In this way, he could also strengthen Human Emperor and the others—killing two birds with one stone!

“One batch has always followed me; another batch has keen minds. The rest… I’ll just give them away!”

What use were so many people?

By weeding out some, Su Yu’s strength would surely decline, but it would also make his heaven and earth purer!

As for his teachers, Su Yu was still pondering.

Though their hiding place was secret, it might not be safe. The Ancestor’s heaven and earth had once been in the human realm, and perhaps he had grasped something as well.

“The fusion of ten thousand Daos…”

“Blue Sky!”

Su Yu thought of Blue Sky again. Blue Sky had opened his own heaven independently, breaking away from Su Yu’s system, and was now fusing ten thousand Daos. Su Yu had even prepared to let him devour the Long River.

But success was not guaranteed!

If it failed, the best choice would be… for him and Blue Sky to merge!

Blue Sky, in fact, was more suitable than Wen Yu in this regard. Wen Yu also possessed ten thousand Daos, but the heaven Wen Yu opened and the heaven Su Yu opened were essentially just a superposition, not the state that could help Su Yu fuse ten thousand Daos like Blue Sky could.

Superposition would make one stronger; fusion would make one even stronger!

And after merging with Blue Sky, perhaps Su Yu could attempt to devour the Long River!

Thoughts flickered, and Su Yu vanished from the spot in an instant.

Meanwhile, the auras of Wen King and the others were rapidly growing stronger.

None knew how long passed before the heaven and earth trembled violently, showing signs of shattering. This was originally a heaven of extinction, and now, as the two madly absorbed it, even the origin was being devoured—how could it not break?

…

With a great crash!

On the third day after Tian Gu and the others died, the sixth day since the Heavenly Gate and Earthly Gate opened, the Human Emperor Seal shattered completely!

Three figures materialized in the Yu Emperor Hall.

Human Emperor and the others rushed over, their expressions complex.

The Human Emperor Seal was gone!

It wasn’t Su Yu who absorbed it, but Wen King and the others.

At this moment, Wen King and the others exuded powerful auras.

Wen King and Wen Yu had both entered the 36-path level, while War King, having devoured Kong’s Great Dao and absorbed part of the heaven’s power, had actually reached 35 paths!

Human Emperor looked at them, somewhat emotional.

At this point, among the seven, only War King had yet to enter 36 paths; the others had all crossed that threshold. Su Yu, at this moment, seemed not particularly strong in comparison!

Thus, the traces left by Blood Lord in the heaven and earth were also erased.

Now, Death Lord had 39 paths, Qiong 38, while Su Yu, Wen King, Wen Yu, and Human Emperor all had 36, and War King 35.

“Where is Su Yu?” Wen Yu asked, not seeing him.

Human Emperor pointed to the sky. They all looked up and soon felt something strange. Su Yu was lying in the River of Time, sleeping, letting the ten thousand Daos wash over him, as if comprehending something.

And beside him, someone was guarding him—Blue Sky!

Wen Yu watched for a while and said nothing more.

Su Yu lay quietly in the River, sleeping, with only Blue Sky as his guardian. Whether Su Yu did not want others to guard him, or Human Emperor and the others did not go, it was unclear. Most likely, Su Yu did not need them to follow.

At this moment, even War King, who usually acted rashly, let out a soft, almost inaudible sigh.

But in his diary, he left a line.

Su Yu, the emperor of the New Era!

In his heart, the people of the New Era were perhaps his true Dao companions, friends, brothers, family…

As for the others, no matter how friendly Su Yu acted, they were not that important.

Suddenly, a sense of loss washed over them all.

They had not entered Su Yu’s heart.
