Chapter 1705: Indulgence (2)

As Su Yu was sighing inwardly with regret, Great Zhou King was looking at Su Yu with a genial smile. And what could this guy say now? He had agreed to every request of this guy! Could this guy still leave?

Su Yu continued, "Great Xia King and Great Ming King shall lead the various armies to the Eastrift Valley. Tell the myriad races to start a war between those below the Invincible Realm. This shall serve as the way for us to train our soldiers."

Great Xia King said, "The myriad races won't agree..."

Su Yu said, "Why not? The Allheaven Battlefield is filled with resources. If they refuse to cooperate, we can simply invade their realms and plunder their resources. Each of the major races has various minor realms colonized. If they refuse to cooperate, we will plunder their colonies.

"If their Invincibles dare to participate, kill them all. Do they have the courage to challenge our Daofuses again? We won't be starting a war between Invincibles. Through this war, I hope to see countless new Sunmoons."

He looked at the gathered soldiers and asked, "Soldiers, are you scared? Do you have the courage to face the myriad races?"

"We are not scared! We fight!"

The numerous soldiers roared in excitement. They had no fear. Previously, Su Yu had said that upon their victory, the time for the soldiers to fight would arrive. And that moment had indeed arrived.

Su Yu said, "Due to Great Qin King's injuries, Great Xia King shall serve as the Myriad Realm Chief Commander. Xia Longwu, Qin Zhen, Zhu Tianfang, and Wang Hu shall serve as the four cardinal generals, leading our armies against the myriad races. We shall reclaim our ancient glory. Wang Hu, you will be the East Offensive General. Since the eastern sector is our home ground, sweep through the sector. All realms in the eastern sector are to pledge allegiance or face extermination."

"Yes!"

Silk Destroying King agreed easily. He looked incomparably excited to receive such an order. His blood was boiling with anticipation. The other mentioned Invincibles also accepted their appointments without delay.

All of them looked rather excited. That was understandable as humanity had just achieved a major victory against the myriad races. Clearly, Su Yu intended to continue sweeping through the Myriad Realms and plunder everything they could while the major races were hiding in their respective realms. Through this, humanity would strengthen itself as much as possible before the thousand-year limit was up.

This was indeed a great opportunity for them to do something like this. Due to the previous setback, the major races would no longer dare to challenge humanity before the barrier between the Myriad Realms and the Upper Realm was open.

And if the various armies could produce some Sunmoons through this war, humanity would gain new future Invincibles. Things would change for the better, unlike humanity's current situation, where there were barely any new candidates available to take over the mantle of the existing Invincibles.

The emotions of the various Invincibles grew even more complicated than before. This new leader of theirs had even taken control over the military. The four cardinal generals were all Invincibles close to Su Yu. Those from Great Ming, Great Xia, and Silk Destroying King were indeed related to Su Yu one way or another.

Su Yu had maximized his gains from that one victory against the major races. He had thoroughly made humanity his. He alone ruled now. Through these actions, nobody could contest his rule anymore.

Great Xia King did not waste any time to carry out his new order. He roared, "Soldiers, follow me to the Allheaven Battlefield!"

"Yes!"

At that, the numerous gathered soldiers started entering the Allheaven Battlefield. Prior to this, all of them had withdrawn from the Allheaven Battlefield to make way for the battle between Invincibles. Now, it was time for them to return.

Su Yu watched in silence, his expression completely calm. As a leader, he naturally needed to act like one. And as a leader, it was only natural for his words to be obeyed.

"Everyone else, you may return and recuperate. All of you have sustained heavy injuries from the previous battle."

He added, "Each prefecture with a dead Invincible will receive two carrier treasures as compensation. The carrier treasures shall be taken from the spoils of the previous battle. All the spoils will be gathered in the treasury of the holy land. Prefect Zhu and Marquis Xia will jointly manage the treasury. Everyone will be rewarded accordingly based on their military contributions. Also, take out half the spoils. I have use for them. We need to reward the races that have helped us in the previous battle."

"Yes!"

Both Marquis Xia and Zhu Tiandao agreed before looking at each other with competitive eyes.

Not far away, Great Zhou King was quite surprised to see how well Su Yu was handling things. When Su Yu was done talking, he sent a voice transmission, "Holy Lord, do you have the time for a conversation with me?"

Su Yu grinned and said, "There is no rush."

Great Zhou King blanked out. Did Su Yu not have anything to ask him? Naturally, Su Yu was in no rush. In fact, he didn't feel like asking. Or to be precise, he didn't feel like asking before he was stronger than Great Zhou King.

He wanted to return to Culture King's Residence and further strengthen himself. He needed to seek his dao. And when he grew strong enough, he would naturally be glad to listen to anything Great Zhou King might have to say.

Feeling helpless, Great Zhou King said, "This pertains to the situation in the Upper Realm..."

"Not interested." Su Yu said, "I'll naturally know everything after killing Talisman King."

"..."

Damn it! Could this guy be less unpredictable? Great Zhou King was feeling quite helpless. He had thought that Su Yu would be curious due to Su Yu's age, but the opposite had happened.

Su Yu was showing zero curiosity.

"What about the secrets of the ancient past?"

Su Yu said, "Not interested. When I'm strong enough, when I reach the Great Dao Realm, no secret will remain secret to me. Knowing too much right now will disrupt my mental state."

Great Zhou King sighed.

So be it.

Fine, fine.

This guy was trying very hard to minimize contact with him after concluding that any conversation with him might be filled with traps.

"What about the fragment of the Heavenly Hunt Index?"

"There is no rush. Heavenly Overseer Marquis is probably quite frightened right now. He wouldn't have the courage to do anything even with the fragments fused into one. We'll give him some time to regain his courage."

"..."

Fine.

Great Zhou King was left with nothing to say.

Su Yu said nothing else. He was too busy to waste his time playing this game of words with Great Zhou King. He still needed to return to Culture King's Residence and spend some time with the white dog.

As far as he was concerned, the greatest joy in life was to have a powerful white dog he could spend some time with. Nothing else was as important as the white dog. What was the point of saying so much before he was strong enough? Would Great Zhou King have bothered to say anything to him if he was a regular Sunmoon?

Nope. Thus, only strength mattered.

His own strength and the strength of his backers, to be precise. Just look at how all those people had begged him to become the holy lord. That had only happened due to his strength. Perhaps in the future, these same people would also be begging him to listen to their secrets. There was no need for him to negotiate with them for these secrets right now.

As for the injuries of the various Invincibles, there was nothing he could do about it. He had collected quite a lot of treasures, but people like Great Qin King were too strong for these treasures to be useful.

Even with enough carrier treasures, the loss of tri-life bodies was not something one could recover from easily. Perhaps he could ask the white dog for a solution. Every other matter could be put aside for now.

Looking at the slowly departing soldiers, Su Yu said, "Great Zhou King, please complete the formation by tomorrow morning. I want to see source qi rain falling all over the Human Realm from tomorrow morning onward."

"...Yes."

Great Zhou King stared at Su Yu weakly. He had a strong feeling that no scheme, no plot, and no sophistry would work against this guy. This was a trick Su Yu had learned from Bai Feng.

He would only talk after conquering someone with his fists. And this was indeed an effective trick. Just look at Bai Feng's string of victories over Liu Hong over the years. Liu Hong had prevailed over numerous opponents through his schemes, but Bai Feng was the only person he couldn't defeat.

Perhaps that was true wisdom. Since you couldn't win with your brain, why bother? Just use your fists instead.

***

Su Yu did not bother to meet anyone else. He directly tore an opening in the air before vanishing into it. Everyone could guess where he was going, but it didn't matter. That was a place none of them could enter.

***

Starfall Mountain.

Su Yu was back. He hadn't even been away for that long. The battle had started in the morning, and right now, the sky was just starting to turn dark.

Inside his head, the book spirit's voice rang out, "That Great Zhou King guy is quite strong."

Su Yu nodded and asked, "Senior, is he someone from this era? Does he feel old to you?"

"That's hard to judge without a detailed scan, but a detailed scan is a form of provocation."

"Do you think he holds malice toward me?"

"I can't see any."

The book spirit couldn't guarantee anything.

Su Yu did not ask more. He only needed to know that Great Zhou King wasn't his enemy for now. That would suffice. Before long, he landed in the same valley.

Inside his mind, the tea spirit spoke, "Are we going back just like this? Why don't we have some fun outside first! I heard from Fat Ball that there are a lot of fun things out here!"

Su Yu chuckled and said, "We'll save that for the future. There is no rush."

"Fine."

The tea plant did not argue further. Soon, Su Yu shook the Book of Time slightly, releasing a unique ripple. This time, he understood what that unique ripple was. It was a power of law.

The Book of Time was very powerful. Alas, it had been heavily damaged.

The time waterfall appeared.

Su Yu asked, "Seniors, will the two of you be fine when I go through this waterfall?"

"Don't worry. We'll be fine."

"Good."

Then, Su Yu stepped through the waterfall.

***

A short moment later.

The secluded paradise appeared before Su Yu again.

𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

What a beautiful sight.

Countless flowers.

An ancient courtyard. An ancient tree. And a puppy.

Fat Ball, who was sleeping in the courtyard, opened his eyes. When he saw that it was Su Yu, disappointment flickered in his eyes. He said, "You're back already?"

That was quite fast.

Su Yu was looking at the white dog in an entirely different light. During their previous meeting, he was unaware of just how powerful the white dog was. But now, he knew. The white dog was extremely strong.

Perhaps the white dog wasn't in the Great Dao Realm, but the white dog was most certainly much stronger than a regular Daofuse. That much was evident from how easily Su Yu could kill a Daofuse just by borrowing the white dog's power. It was hard to say if the old turtle or the white dog was stronger.

"Senior, it was a major victory for humanity!"

The white dog wagged his tail, seemingly quite happy to hear that. "Good!"

"I'm here to treat you to a meal of golden peng. Have you eaten golden pengs before?"

Su Yu smiled and added, "I have a dragon with me as well. Through your power, I killed a Daofuse dragon. Senior Book Spirit and Tea Plant killed a Daofuse golden peng. Unfortunately, the phoenix escaped or I could have returned with a phoenix as well."

The white dog wagged his tail and said, "Dragon? No, that's not delicious. As for golden pengs...their wings are quite delicious. Can I eat some golden peng wings?"

The cultivation of the golden peng didn't matter. Fat Ball only wanted to eat something fresh. Back when the Culture King and Time Sage were still around, he had eaten a lot of good stuff.
