Chapter 1602: Returning To Human Realm (3)

"This is Great Han King."

Su Yu bowed respectfully as well.

Great Han King nodded with a smile. He could be considered one of the first human Invincibles to learn of Su Yu's name. He had first learned of Su Yu's name from Zhu Tiandao back when Zhu Tiandao threw a tantrum in the Knowledge Seeking Realm.

"This is Great Shang King."

Su Yu looked at the middle-aged man dressed in a traditional outfit. He bowed slightly and said nothing. He did not have any quarrel with Great Shang, but an elder of Great Shang once went after him before dying at the Starfall Mountain.

After that incident, Shan Xiong had challenged him. At the time, Shang Tianjiao of the Shang Family had attempted to create trouble for him.

"This is Great Tang King."

As usual, Su Yu bowed slightly. He was quite unfamiliar with Great Tang, but he knew Cheng Mo.

"This is Great Song King."

This was yet another face Su Yu knew. He bowed again. This was a respect shown not to the strong, but to the heroes who had saved humanity during the early years of the Anping calendar.

"This is Great Yuan King."

When Su Yu bowed again, Great Yuan King sneered and said, "I'm unworthy of a bow from someone as important as Mayor Su. Don't bother."

At that, both Great Zhou King and Great Qin King turned to look at him.

Great Yuan King continued sneering and said, "I don't mind all your other proposals, but don't even dream of making him the leader of the holy land."

Great Qin King frowned, but Great Yuan King maintained his sneer. Su Yu chuckled with indifference and said, "Leader of the holy land? Are you talking about the War Shrine and Knowledge Seeking Realm, Great Yuan King? Weren't those places burned down? Are you rebuilding them?"

Great Yuan King said coldly, "Don't bother putting up an act in front of me. Su Yu, who do you think you are? What makes you think you qualify for this position? Have you saved humanity from a fatal disaster? Have you provided shelter to millions upon millions of humans? Have you guarded the front lines of humanity for hundreds of years? Have you brought humanity to a new height and helped humanity dominate the Myriad Realms? Have you done anything of note?"

Great Yuan King questioned, "Do merits not matter? Is talent the only thing we care about now? In that case, we could simply appoint the most talented human as the human king. That would save a lot of time."

Su Yu laughed, "Merit? How do you define merit? First of all, let me make this clear. I have no interest in becoming the leader of your so-called holy land. Let me make another thing clear. You, Great Yuan King, might not have more merits than I."

Great Yuan King frowned.

Su Yu continued, "Without me, could you stand here today in such a relaxed manner and talk about all this with me? Without me, you would be suffering under the suppression of the divines, devils, and immortals by now. Without me, you wouldn't even have the ability to leave your home anymore. Without me, could your army remain so powerful? Without me, you, Great Yuan King, are nothing."

Great Yuan King shot back coldly, "There is no effect without cause. Without you, the alliance between the humans and the immortals would have remained."

At that, Su Yu roared with laughter. He pointed at Great Yuan King, shook his head, and sighed, "Sigh. What a pitiful fool. Outsiders might not know the truth about the human-immortal alliance, but are you really clueless as well? Without me, you would probably still be worshipping them as your daddy even as they are eating you up one chunk of flesh at a time."

Meeting Great Yuan King's frosty gaze, Su Yu said indifferently, "Don't bother looking at me with those eyes. Great Yuan King, I am not your subordinate. I am Su Yu. See, I was right. At times, the human race is annoying and troublesome. I am the master of the ancient cities, yet even a random nobody dares to interrupt a conversation between me and Great Qin King. What a clown. Is etiquette nonexistent in the human race? When the likes of Tiangu and Jiwu were conversing, nobody would have the courage to interfere."

Great Yuan King frowned and said, "Su Yu, don't bother throwing those big names at me. Great Qin King is the chief commander of humanity, but I still have the authority to speak my mind. You don't have my respect. I'm making that clear. I could accept even people like Xia Longwu and Qin Zhen as the leaders of the holy land, even if they can’t muster as much power as you. You, Su Yu, do not have my support."

Su Yu laughed and said, "Let's stop wasting time. I was entertaining you out of politeness, but you seem to have forgotten yourself."

Su Yu sneered and asked, "Leader of the holy land? How powerful is the holy land? How holy is the holy land? How great is the holy land?"

With yet another sneer, Su Yu asked, "Is the holy land as strong as the guardians behind me?"

Instantly, thirty-five stone statues appeared behind Su Yu. They all stared at Great Yuan King frostily as their powerful auras rippled out.

Su Yu coldly said, "The power, status, and benefits you hold so dear are worthless to me. Great Zhou King, continue with the introductions. As for ignorant fools like him, I do respect him for his past contributions to humanity, but I also look down on his lack of wisdom. My respect for Great Qin King is the only reason that fool is still breathing right now."

Great Yuan King snorted. Just then, Great Zhou King raised his voice and said, "Enough!"

That was enough to shut Great Yuan King's mouth. However, he was really tempted to try fighting Su Yu. Was Su Yu so confident just because of a little bit of brute strength? Around them, the Invincibles stayed silent. Behind them, the countless soldiers were trembling with fear. They all prayed that a battle wouldn't start here.

It wasn't that they were too cowardly to fight, but this wasn't a worthy fight. Su Yu was a human. He was the natural ally of humanity. In the event of a battle between the two, the result wouldn't matter. Humanity would still be the one to suffer a loss.

Great Zhou King continued the introductions.

"This is Heavenly Seal King."

Su Yu looked over and saw a delicate man with a cold disposition. He looked surprisingly young, and when he met Su Yu's gaze, he nodded with a polite smile.

Su Yu nodded with a smile as well and said, "I remember forming a character from Heavenly Seal King's written note. I have to say that in terms of sealing and suppression, nobody is Heavenly Seal King's match."

"You are too polite, Mayor Su."

Heavenly Seal King replied with a polite smile.

Su Yu did not continue the conversation. The introductions continued. When it was Heavenly Forge King's turn to be introduced, Su Yu laughed and said, "What a pity that the Mystic Armor King did not join the attack against me previously. Otherwise, I would have killed him for some excellent forging materials. No matter. I'll find a chance to kill him in the future and forge you a good armor, Senior."

"Hehe. In that case, allow me to thank you in advance."

Heavenly Forge King smiled.

"This is Silk Destroying King."

Su Yu smiled and said, "Senior, your Time technique is indeed worthy of its fame. Of the many techniques I have learned, this technique occupies the top three position."

Silk Destroying King laughed heartily and said, "It's no big deal. But I do admit that ordinary techniques are indeed inferior to mine. We can compare notes in the future when the opportunity arises."

Before long, the introductions reached the younger Invincibles. By the time Zhou Tianyuan was introduced, Su Yu merely nodded without bothering to give a bow. Zhou Tianyuan was unbothered.

Zhu Tianfang, Xia Longwu, and Qin Zhen were also introduced one after another. Of the younger Invincibles, Xia Longwu was the sole person to receive Su Yu's bow.

Eventually, the introductions ended at the thirty-fourth Invincible. The rest of the human Invincibles were occupied elsewhere, so they were absent. With this, a majority of humanity's Invincibles became known to Su Yu. This was a good opportunity for him to assess their strength.

Suddenly, the female furball's voice rang out in his mind, "A few of them smell quite nice. That Great Zhou King...smells incredible! Can I eat him?"

"No."

Su Yu hurriedly stopped the female furball. Was this a joke? Why was the female furball salivating over Great Zhou King right away? Wouldn't that be the same as starting a war then and there?

"Fine, fine. What a pity!"

The female furball was saddened to hear that.

At the same time, the corner of Great Zhou King's eyes throbbed slightly. He glanced at Su Yu with narrowed eyes. For a split second, he felt something from Su Yu's direction. Something that could provoke even him.

He did not think too much about that. Instead, he smiled and said, "Mayor Su, let's stop wasting time here. Your teachers and friends are all waiting in the Human Realm."

"Sure." Su Yu smiled, "Thank you for the trouble, everyone."

He stepped forward.

Behind him, Heavendoom's cold voice rang out, "Su Yu, notify us with the mayor's medallion the moment something happens. We will shatter this realm the moment we receive the notice."

Su Yu said sternly, "How could you say that, Senior Heavendoom? These are all my elders. They wouldn't do anything to harm me. But if something were to really happen, don't do anything rash. Just get a few Pseudo Emperors over before attacking."

The human Invincibles were left completely speechless.

Was this a form of threat?

Yes, in a way.

Su Yu was essentially implying that if something were to happen to him, the guardians would act. Even Pseudo Emperors would join in. He was basically a bomb. Was it even a good idea to invite him back to the Human Realm?

For a moment, the approaching Su Yu looked like a walking bomb in their eyes. Some of the Invincibles started hesitating, wondering if they should really go ahead with this.

Alas, Great Qin King and his supporters had decided. Their protest wouldn't matter. Thus, they could only warn their juniors to be careful during Su Yu's time in the Human Realm. That was someone nobody wanted to provoke easily.

Great Qin King, Great Zhou King, and a few others joined Su Yu and headed toward the realm entrance while conversing with each other amicably. Naturally, a large number of Invincibles remained at the Eastrift Valley. After all, the front lines of humanity still needed guarding.
