Chapter 2152: Upper Realm Again (1)
In truth, Su Yu wasn't too worried about Heavenly Fate Marquis.
With Fateless on his side, Heavenly Fate Marquis would no longer stand against him. Heavenly Fate Marquis was a smart man. He would be able to see that the myriad races didn't really hold that much of an advantage over the other factions. More importantly, they lacked a true leader, someone capable of fully uniting the various races together.
The same could be said for humanity, which was also split into multiple factions. And it was even harder for the myriad races to produce such a leader since there were too many races involved. That would only change with the appearance of one proper Master of Law among them.
Su Yu's faction was powerful enough that Heavenly Fate Marquis would make the correct choice so long as he had a brain inside his skull.
Su Yu returned his focus to the tiger and said, "In short, you wish to see that person leave the gate. If that's possible, cooperation is also possible between us. Am I right?"
The eight-winged tiger required the chaos will to help him progress into a Master of Law. But that wouldn't be an easy thing to do. The more helper he could get, the higher his likelihood of success would be.
The tiger nodded and spoke softly, "However, I don't need your help against that Master of Law. The chaos dragon and I can deal with her ourselves. We only need you to deal with Control King's lineage while we're facing that person. If you can agree to this, I can agree to a cooperation."
The tiger and dragon knew that Masters of Laws were hard to handle, but they still didn't want anyone to interfere with their fight. That would lead to too many variables, and that was the last thing they wanted.
Any helper could turn against them to prevent their breakthrough after killing the Master of Law. Thus, the two were only willing to face the Master of Law with their chaos beast subordinates.
Heavenly Fate Marquis asked, "What about...Hundred Battle King's group? Will they interfere with our plan?"
"Don't worry about that." Su Yu said, "I will return to the Upper Realm soon and establish a cooperation with the myriad races. I will also join hands with them to seal the tunnel to the Lower Realm. They will probably be happy to see that as well."
Heavenly Fate Marquis was alarmed to hear that. Sealing the tunnel? Well, Su Yu could traverse the chaotic space, so that would not affect him.
If the tiger was willing to cooperate with him, it would be much easier for him to proceed with his plan. Then again, he needed to lure all those people to his world to have a greater chance of success again them.
He was only worried that his plan would be exposed. Then again, it wasn't like he would lose anything. At worst, nobody would enter his world. The plan would fail, but he wouldn't lose anything.
At that thought, Su Yu said, "Brother Tiger, I might have a different plan soon. For example, I might try to lure some people to my world. That will make it easier for me to deal with them. And I need your cooperation with this."
The tiger instantly understood what Su Yu was trying to do. He said, "That's possible, but I need to make one thing clear. Even if we're cooperating, only those from my side can fight that Master of Law."
"Of course!" Su Yu laughed. "I'm more than happy to see that. A Master of Law is unfathomable. Why would I say no when someone else is offering to deal with such a being? By the way, I won't be visiting that dragon. After all, he lost his tail because of me. I'm worried that he's still carrying a grudge against me. You can communicate with him instead."
The tiger nodded as well.
After some thought, he asked a different question, "What is your ultimate goal, Emperor Su?"
What was his ultimate goal? Allowing the current chaotic situation to persist? That was naturally not the case.
Su Yu smiled, sipped his tea, and slowly said, "This is an era where the various eras, the various daos, and the various legacies gather. Countless powerhouses will appear, including a significant number of Creators. My ultimate goal? Well, the missing should remain missing, the dead should remain dead, and the ones who should be around should return. The myriad daos must be unified. What are your thoughts about this?"
The tiger thought about it and nodded. "It is only natural for a Creator to be ambitious. However..."
"I'm too weak." Su Yu smiled, "Therefore, that will remain a distant goal for now. In the short term, I aim to pacify the Myriad Realms before the return of the various Masters of Laws. This will allow me to prepare for the coming chaos in peace.
"Back then, over a hundred Masters of Laws went missing. How many are still around? Back then, some ancient marquises went missing, including almost all the stronger ones. Of the 1,080 ancient marquises, over two-thirds were gone. How many have grown stronger after so many years?"
There were 1,080 ancient marquises, and at least 600 had gone missing with Human Emperor and the others. The ones left behind were mostly weaklings compared to the missing ones.
The truly powerful ones, such as the heavenly kings and tier-two Daofuses, had all been taken away by Human Emperor. After so many years, how many of them had grown into Masters of Laws?
It was obvious that there was no cultivation restriction where they were fighting. How many Masters of Laws would they return with? Nobody knew.
If the situation of the Myriad Realms remained until their return, everyone would be reduced to mere cannon fodder of these returning powerhouses. What voice would they have if they weren't even Masters of Laws?
This was also why Human Emperor had not taken Xing Yue's words seriously. As far as he was concerned, all the Masters of Laws were there with him. Meanwhile, the Myriad Realms had yet to even break through his restriction. Human Emperor and his people had long given up on the hope of reinforcement.
They were only dragging things out to buy more time for Culture King to return. And thus, Su Yu aimed to pacify the Myriad Realms before their return and perhaps even take the fight to them.
The eyes of the eight-winged tiger shifted. Heavenly Fate Marquis' heart thumped as well. Su Yu was most likely not joking when he said that he wanted to pacify the Myriad Realms.
With a smile, Su Yu continued, "Everything before us is merely the appetizer for what is to come. The main dish will be coming soon. We need to keep up with the times if we don't want our importance to decline. Therefore, I won't stop you from advancing into Master of Law as long as you stay out of my path, Brother Tiger.
"You belong to the Chaos Era. And right now, the Chaos Era is still not my enemy. As for the Death Realm, Death Imperator is a Master of Law. Can we kill him? Probably. He's all alone while we have a gathering of talents on our side. But what's the point?
"Martial Emperor is still sealed. I already have what it takes to kill him. But it's pointless. All that is pointless for now. The main act of this era is barely starting. In fact, we're still at the opening act."
Yes. Their war against the myriad races was merely an opening act.
Su Yu grinned and said, "Therefore, this is destined to be an interesting era. I am unwilling to remain obscure in such a wondrous era. I'll first kill a bunch of fools as practice for the main act."
The two gave him a long stare. Finally, the tiger nodded, "I see now. Before the Hell Gate opens, I doubt there will be a conflict between us."
"Make sure of it." Su Yu stood up and said, "This is all I have to say for now. You can try to stab me in the back. Or you can work with me sincerely. It will only change the number of subordnates I might lose. As for myself...I am no longer so easy to kill.
"Lan Tian, leave a clone here to maintain contact with Brother Tiger. Communication is important for our cooperation."
After tossing a random piece of rock at the corner of the room, Lan Tian said, "Brother Tiger, feel free to call out to me when you need anything."
The tiger's head throbbed as he nodded, "Sure."
Just as Su Yu was about to leave, Heavenly Fate Marquis called out, "Your Majesty, how about me?"
"Save your questions for Fateless in three days. Wait in the chaotic space. I'll have someone meet you there."
Fine.
Heavenly Fate Marquis nodded and watched as Su Yu and Lan Tian departed.
When the two left, Heavenly Fate Marquis glanced at the piece of rock on the ground and said, "I have been a frog at the bottom of the well. His Majesty has long set his gaze beyond what everyone is seeing."
Su Yu was already planning for Human Emperor's return, not the current conflict in the Myriad Realms. Meanwhile, many were still focusing on the current affairs of the Myriad Realms.
The tiger looked at Heavenly Fate Marquis and smiled, "Venerable, you may report to the myriad races now. Tell them that I'm open for cooperation, but not now. I believe you know what to say. Don't tell them about the incoming Master of Law. They will definitely try to stop that, and that is not what we want to see."
Upon learning about the Master of Law behind the gate, the myriad races would definitely attack Control King's lineage in advance. That was not what the tiger and dragon wanted to see.
Heavenly Fate Marquis nodded. These days, everyone was scheming something. Had he grown old? Was he falling behind? Clearly, the fate race wouldn't be able to stay neutral for much longer.
Fateless must have thought things through before choosing Su Yu.
"I'll decide after seeing Fateless."
That was Heavenly Fate Marquis' thought. Everyone was scheming. On the surface, the myriad races seemed to be the strongest faction, but that was not necessarily true.
***
Su Yu left the Chaos Mountain.
He did not move around randomly. The chaotic space was dangerous. He couldn't risk running around and losing his way back.
He had to find a suitable place to hide his disgused world based on his current plotted trajectory. By hiding his world nearby, he would be able to summon it over at any time during combat.
He had to complete his preparations soon. He was starting to feel a sense of urgency after the conversation with the tiger.
The Hell Gate was going to release a Master of Law. It sounded hard, and there was no guarantee that this would succeed. But was still a sign. A sign that powerful beings could start emerging from the gate.
Control King's lineage had a complicated relationship with the chaos beasts. Strictly speaking, the chaos beasts outside were not united with the ones inside the gate. However, there was probably an agreement in place between Control King's lineage and the chaos beasts inside the gate.
The chaos beasts inside wouldn't have agreed to send a Master of Law from Control King's lineage out otherwise.
"Hell Gate is opening while I don't even know the location of the actual Heaven Gate. I know that the chaos beasts are behind the Hell Gate. What about the Heaven Gate?
"What era is sealed behind the Heaven Gate? The Creation Era had produced too many powerhouses. Master of Time. Master of Death. Even Human Ancestor might be among them. And who are Culture King and Martial King fighting?"
Numerous thoughts occupied Su Yu's mind.
The situation behind the Heaven Gate was probably a lot more complicated than the situation behind the Hell Gate.
"Who was powerful enough to seal the Creation Era? That was an era started by the Master of Time. One needed to be strong enough to seal even the Master of Time to do that.
"What, exactly, does the sealing of an era entail? Do you seal all the powerhouses of that era away and call it a day? How does this work? Where did these gates come from?"
Su Yu had countless questions and no answers. His sense of urgency was growing. He did not have much time left. He did no want to be a weak nobody during the return of the various eras. It hadn't been easy for him to establish himself in the Myriad Realms. He did not want to be pushed to the bottom yet again.
"I need to speed things up. Human Ancestor probably stands behind Hundred Battle. The myriad races have over a hundred Masters of Laws behind them. Conrol King's lineage has the chaos beasts behind them. As for me...am I supposed to rely on Human Emperor?"
Su Yu smiled bitterly.
Yes. All the various active factions had their own backers. But strictly speaking, Su Yu was without one. Who could he count on? Human Emperor? He didn't even know what would happen in a meeting between them.
Thus, the myriad races weren't in that much of a rush. At worst, they could drag until their peak powerhouses were back. Control King's lineage was in no rush either. They could wait for the Hell Gate to open.
Not even Hundred Battle King was in that much of a rush. Perhaps he was waiting for Human Ancestor's return. In short, Su Yu was the only one who had nothing to wait for.
Human Emperor? That wasn't even someone he knew well. There wasn't that much of a relationship between them. Furthermore, he suspected that Human Emperor wasn't doing that well either.
That was the main reason Su Yu had been stirring so much shit. He had seen through everything. Everyone had something to wait for. Everyone except him.
After reaching the floating land where South Heavenly King and the others were waiting, Su Yu told them to stay behind and keep watch before leaving again. It was time for him to start moving his world.
