Chapter 1369: Mark of Civilization (3)

Time Sage.

Perhaps the golden book was really the legacy of the Time Sage. To traverse time, to record the civilizations of the myriad races, to record the rise and fall of the myriad realms.

Perhaps there was such a person in every era. However, nobody knew about them. Or to be precise, no weakling would know about them.

"Mark of Civilization..."

They all sank into silence, contemplating the meaning behind that name.

That was something left behind by the dead.

Suddenly, Su Yu fell into a daze. He thought about the Culture Tomb. The tomb of culture.

And now, he had forged a Mark of Civilization.

A record of civilization.

Suddenly, Niu Baidao said, "Su Yu, the Luminous Domain Mansion will open soon. Will you be going? In your current state, you might not be able to go. It won't be a good thing for you to go anyway."

Su Yu laughed, "If I can't go, so be it. Do I look like I lack money? You don't have to worry about me, Principal."

He gave everyone a solemn bow, "Thank you, everyone, for helping me with my weaponsmithing."

"You're too courteous."

Hu Qi said, "We should be thanking you instead. You allowed us to make a full recovery from our old injuries. You allowed us to witness the forging of an embryonic divine weapon. This will greatly benefit us in our future weaponsmithing. Even now, we have yet to fully digest all that we have learned here. In a few years, at least one of us will grow into a heaven weaponsmith."

Zhao Tianbing said, "I do have some new comprehensions. Perhaps the next time we meet, I'll already be a heaven weaponsmith."

Everyone looked at him with surprise. He laughed and continued, "Of course, there is no guarantee for anything. I need to first be rich enough to afford the materials for a heaven weapon. I might fail many times. But...there is a chance I will succeed."

"Congratulations, Martial Uncle."

Then, Su Yu looked at Zhao Li, who was still in the middle of recuperating, and said, "Martial Uncle, it's dangerous out here. Maybe you should take my teacher back to the Human Realm first. He might have suffered some injuries, but he will probably grow significantly after recovering from his injuries. I won't be waiting for him to wake up before bidding him farewell. I need to head to the mansion soon. No matter what, I can't let my fifty slots go to waste."

"In that case...take care."

Niu Baidao said, "When you're there, you need to be careful. They might target you. The ancient guardians might be strong, but everyone knows you're injured. Some people might try to force your hand. They might even force the guardians to act. Each time they act, you will need to bear a large amount of death qi."

Su Yu nodded, "I understand, Principal. I need to show everyone that I'm still alive. I can still fight. I can still allow the lord guardians to fight outside the ancient cities. If I show any weakness, the masses will start targeting me. I need to set an example out of someone."

"Just be aware of the risk."

Niu Baidao looked at the others and said, "I'll escort all of you back to the eastern sector. A lot of eyes are on Su Yu currently. If you stay here, you might end up dragging him down."

Once again, Su Yu bowed at them to express his gratitude. Then, they departed with Zhao Li in tow.

Su Yu was still heavily injured. There was no need for them to stay and trouble him further. It wasn't like they could help by staying.

***

When everyone left, Su Yu exhaled.

The weapon had been forged.

His body forging had also been completed.

Unfortunately, he had suffered heavy injuries in the process of forging his weapon. He had to recover as soon as possible.

Suddenly, Xing Yue's furious voice rang out, "Go look for the old turtle! Get him to seal your yang acupoint! Su Yu, you're annoying!"

How annoying. That bastard was sucking her again!

Su Yu laughed in amusement and said, "Lord Sovereign, why are you so impatient? It hasn't even been that long."

Then, Su Yu looked behind Grandstar. There, Liu Hong had awakened at an unknown time. He laughed and said, "Impressive strength, Teacher Liu. You're awake already."

Hiding behind Grandstar, Liu Hong replied gloomily, "Don't look at me. I just woke up. I saw nothing. I heard nothing."

Su Yu smiled, "It doesn't matter. In fact, it would be even better if you did hear and see everything. This is perfect. I am injured. Thus, it won't be too out of the ordinary if you ignore all provocations while sitting in for me. A heavily injured person won't stupidly respond to provocations, right? This suits me just fine."

"You're still going even with your injuries?" Liu Hong exclaimed in surprise, "Your injuries are quite heavy. With your yang acupoint sealed...you're decently strong, but even Invincibles might enter the mansion this time. Are you not afraid of death?"

Su Yu laughed, "What is there to fear? I'm poor now. Apart from some blood essence, I have nothing left. I need money to upgrade my weapon. I need money to cultivate. I need money for everything. I must go if I want to continue cultivating."

"You..."

What could he say about that? Liu Hong was speechless. He couldn't help but admit that Su Yu was very good at spending money.

How terrifying.

He had used everything he had to forge a book. Just what could the book do? How strong would the book be? Was it even worth it? The resources he had used to forge the book were probably enough to buy multiple heaven weapons.

Before Su Yu, Liu Hong couldn't help feeling like a beggar.

With an awkward smile, Liu Hong said, "Uhm, can we talk about this? Can you release me before you're back?"

"Before I'm back?"

"Yes." Liu Hong said, "The mansion will remain open for a month, right? Can you get Lord Grandstar to let me go on the twenty-ninth day?"

"Can you bear to leave?"

Su Yu said, "You came here yourself. I didn't even force you to come. Are you sure you want to leave?"

"..."

Liu Hong laughed awkwardly again.

Su Yu ignored Liu Hong and looked at Grandstar. He inhaled deeply and said, "Lord, too many eyes are on me at the moment. It won't be convenient for me to leave the city. I need to move this city to Grand Dream City and get Lord Grand Dream's help to seal my yang acupoint. And then...I will probably remain in Grand Dream City and look for a chance to sneak off."

Grandstar warned solemnly, "Su Yu, think carefully. Things are very dangerous for you. In the holy cities, you still have our protection. Outside, especially when you're in the mansion, we won't be able to do anything to help."

Su Yu smiled, "My mind is set. I need a lot of resources. I also need to further perfect my dao weapon. Out here, too many Invincibles are paying attention to me. I won't be able to act freely."

He had to further perfect his Mark of Civilization. However, he wouldn't be able to do anything in the Allheaven Battlefield. The Luminous Domain Mansion would be a great chance for him to do this.

That was a great place to kill and collect corpses. How could a Mark of Civilization without corpses be called a Mark of Civilization?

This was the perfect timing for him to do so. Very few people would expect him to enter the mansion in his current condition.

"How about your injuries?"

Su Yu said, "It doesn't matter. It's only some physical injuries. This will be the perfect chance for me to kill and rob some people for useful recovery treasures. A weakened body will help me greatly. Nobody will be able to recognize me when I put on a disguise. If my body is too strong, I will be too conspicuous. But in my current state, nobody will detect anything even if they inspect my body physically."

His physical body was too strong. A body so strong was not easy to disguise. But in his weakened state, that would no longer be a concern.

Seeing Su Yu's persistence, Grandstar stopped trying to persuade him. He said, "Remember to talk to my boss about the blood tribulation when you're there. Since he had appeared out of nowhere earlier, he must know something about it. He might also know why Tiangu is insisting on killing you. Don't bother asking me about the Myriad Race Assembly. I don't know much about that."

Su Yu said, "Thank you for the guidance, Lord. I understand."

Grandstar nodded and said nothing else. With a flicker, the city vanished yet again. Outside the city, the people who were trying to spy on Su Yu swore. Not this again! As for those from the nine realms, they were already accustomed to this. They didn't even feel anything when the massive waves crashed onto their ships yet again. Whatever.

They had decided not to build anything out here as long as Su Yu was still alive. They had completely given up on rebuilding an island.

They could consider doing that when Su Yu was dead. They were sure that Su Yu would die soon. He had only survived this time through sheer luck. With the immortal, divine, and other major races issuing a kill order against him, not even the ancient cities would be able to protect him for long.

It was only a matter of time.
