Tribulation of Myriad Races - Chapter 1862: Four Realms, Pacified (2)

Chapter 1862: Four Realms, Pacified (2)

The Phoenix Pseudo Emperor was relieved. This was already the best they could ask for. She had never expected that Su Yu would not only spare them, but also not seal them. Instead, he would only imprison them in some other realm.

This was a good thing! This was much better than being imprisoned in the Human Realm. This signified that there was still a chance for them to reverse their fate. The normal phoenixes were overjoyed to hear that as well. This was a stark difference from the despair they were feeling a moment ago.

Nobody would be killed. This was too surprising. They had thought that this would be the extermination of their race.

Meanwhile, South Heavenly King and the others stirred. Not killing even one? And not sealing them away? Only imprisoning them in some other realm? This was too dangerous. Su Yu had always been a firm and decisive person. What happened to him? Why was he so different today? If it weren’t for their trust in Su Yu, these death spirits wouldn’t have stayed silent about this for so long.

Su Yu added, “By the way, you need to hand over all your assembly tokens. How many assembly tokens do you have?”

“Only two.” The Phoenix Pseudo Emperor had turned extremely cooperative. She hurriedly said, “In my heaven weapon. You can search it.”

“Okay.” Su Yu said, “Great Zhou King, you can leave now. Take some people over to watch over this realm.”

“Yes!”

Great Zhou King wasted no time and returned through the death tunnel. Moving the living through the Death Realm could easily trigger a reaction from the Celestial River of Death, but Great Zhou King was good at concealment. It wouldn’t be an issue for him to move only a few individuals through the Death Realm.

Su Yu remained to maintain the death tunnel. The death spirits stayed idle too as excessive movement from them might trigger a reaction from the heavenly laws. This battle had ended without a single life taken.

***

After some time, Great Zhou King returned with two guardians called Eternity and Shadowfrost. The three human Eternals were Great Tang King, Great Yong King, and Great Liang King.

All of them were greatly shocked. Or to be precise, the three humans were greatly shocked. This was their first time seeing so many death spirit marquises. The sight of the two Daofuse guardians also greatly shocked them.

Humanity had actually conquered the Phoenix Realm just like that. None of them had seen this coming. They were in disbelief.

“We greet Emperor Yu!”

They all greeted Su Yu respectfully. Even the guardians were incredibly respectful. This was simply too surprising. Nobody had expected that humanity would be able to conquer the Phoenix Realm so easily. They couldn’t even imagine how it was done. Those outside had not detected anything.

Su Yu said, “For now, you will be stationed here. Perhaps it won’t last long. Tiangu might try to launch another war soon. At the time, they will definitely try to recruit the phoenixes. At the time, you can give him a big surprise.”

As Su Yu grinned, the others laughed as well. They could already imagine the scene. When Tiangu and the others were awaiting for the reinforcement of the phoenixes, several Daofuses on humanity’s side arrived to stab them in the back. That would probably drive them crazy.

“Great Tang King.”

At the mention of his name, Great Tang King stopped laughing and waited for his orders solemnly.

Su Yu continued, “The three of you will be the only human Eternals here. This place is filled with source qi, and the phoenix race has handed over seventy percent of their resources. Thirty percent will be left for you. Great Tang King is the likeliest among you to reach the Daofuse Realm. I wish you luck in your advancement, Great Tang King. You may notify me in advance just as you are about to advance. I’ll take you on a trip to a suitable place for advancement. Do not do it here as that’s too eyecatching.”

“Yes!” Great Tang King said, “I will do my best!”

He would be given sufficient resources for his advancement. Then again, at his level, his comprehension was more important.

Su Yu said, “I’ll come here when I’m free and take you all on several trips to the River of Time. As long as the phoenixes remain obedient, leave them alone.”

He added, “Even when they wish to produce more Eternals, let them be.”

At that, Great Tang King and even the phoenixes were stunned.

The Eternal phoenix asked softly, “Human Lord…are you serious about that?”

Were the humans going to let them grow freely? For some reason, that terrified him. Was there a plot somewhere?

Su Yu said, “Why should I care about the advancement of some trash Sunmoons? I’m happy to see more people fusing with the phoenix dao and competing over the power of the dao. You won’t understand this, but I believe your Pseudo Emperor understands.”

At that, the projection of the Pseudo Emperor reappeared. She looked at Su Yu before looking at the phoenixes beneath. With a sigh, she said, “Human Lord Su is indeed very knowledgeable about the myriad daos. I have only noticed this in recent years…”

Su Yu sneered and said, “That’s because you lot are too useless. What can Eternals do? Go ahead and produce a few hundred of them if you can. Or even some Daofuses if you can. This will split the power of your dao and weaken each individual at that level. This is what I love to see.”

A lot of people did not understand the meaning behind those words, but they could see that Su Yu was definitely not doing this out of kindness. He was actually allowing them to break through freely.

Why? Because he believed that this would scatter the power of their dao. On the other hand, the Phoenix Pseudo Emperor was thinking that Su Yu was being too overconfident.

The phoenix race did not have too many Daofuses. They could produce three or even five more without affecting the others. She could only say that Su Yu had probably overestimated them. They did not have that many Daofuses in the Upper Realm. Their dao was strong enough to sustain even ten Daofuses.

“This is all. Let’s stop wasting time.” Su Yu looked at the guardians and said, “Just stay here and cultivate in peace. If they try anything, wipe them out. I might be benevolent, but I am not soft.”

The Phoenix Pseudo Emperor sighed and ordered, “My people, stay calm and cultivate in peace.”

She looked at the picked Eternal and said, “Feng Qi, do well. Do not offend them. The future of the phoenixes lies in your hands.”

She was warning Feng Qi not to try anything stupid. Things weren’t that hopeless yet. But attempting anything they shouldn’t would result in the extermination of their race.

“Pseudo Emperor, I will.”

The picked Eternal answered solemnly. He knew what he should do. Keep a low profile, be patient, and wait. He shouldn’t be offending the humans yet.

Su Yu smiled and said, “I hope nothing will happen. Everyone, I’ll be leaving now. The other realms await. Emperor Yu’s Court will rule over the Myriad Realms.”

“We bid Emperor Yu farewell!”

Everyone sent Su Yu off with looks of admiration.

Only when Su Yu and his entourage were gone did Great Yong King recover from his shock. He felt as though he had been dreaming. He looked at Great Tang King and asked, “Old Tang…did we…just conquer the Phoenix Realm?”

“Yes!”

Great Tang King had complicated feelings as well. He looked at Eternity, hesitated slightly, and asked, “Senior Eternity…have you…achieved Daofuse?”

Eternity laughed and answered, “Yes. We are not the only ones. Including Heavendoom, our boss, and the others, we have eleven Daofuses.”

Great Tang King gasped in shock. There were also those death spirit experts. Su Yu had silently gathered so many powerful Daofuses under him in secret. Prior to this, even the human Eternals were oblivious to this. In short, humanity hadn’t even used its full strength for the conquest of the Phoenix Realm.

Eternity said, “Emperor Yu has a very simple plan. Hide our strength and keep the Upper Realm relaxed. Do not push the other races into desperation and conquer the various realms in secret. And the first result is before you. The Phoenix Realm has been taken without a single casualty. We can even use the Phoenix Realm as our secret base for any potential war in the future.”

He continued, “You are now pursuing the weapon fusion path as well. You can talk to us more and exchange pointers if you want. No matter what, we have cultivated for over a hundred thousand years. Our comprehension of the dao might not be deep, but we are quite experienced with the Weapon Fusion Method. The resources Emperor Yu left for you can be used to strengthen your weapons. With this, you will be able to attain Daofuse the moment you gather enough comprehension.”

“Thanks, Senior.”

Great Tang King was overjoyed. The guidance from a senior who had followed the weapon fusion path for over a hundred thousand years was something precious. This would be very helpful for him.

Great Tang King said with complicated feelings, “Humanity has finally produced several Daofuses. Unfortunately, the rest of us are still lacking. At present, we won’t be of much help without reaching the strength of a Daofuse. I hope I can reach Daofuse during my time here.”

“You can do it.” Eternity said, “The human race is blessed by the heavens. Emperor Yu has personally helped with the switching of your paths. You lack competitors for your new daos. Perhaps the old fossils that are still around might compete against you for these daos, but if there are no such old fossils around, all of you will enjoy a monopoly of your new daos. This is actually a great opportunity for all of you.”

“True…”

After a short conversation, they spread out and settled down in the Phoenix Realm.

All five of them could maintain the strength of high-degree Eternals in the Phoenix Realm. Thus, the sole low-degree Eternal of the phoenix race would not be able to pose much threat to them.

Death Realm.

With a frown, South Heavenly King asked, “Human Lord, are you really sending them into the other realms?”

Su Yu nodded, “Yes.”

Noticing that South Heavenly King still looked worried, Su Yu switched to voice transmission, “Don’t worry, Martial Mother. I am not stupid. I won’t do something that will stab me in the back. I have my own plans. The myriad races shall cultivate the myriad daos for me.”

He did not have the time to cultivate the myriad daos personally. It was too troublesome and tiring. Thus, the myriad races could cultivate for him instead. He would let them grow his fake daos before retrieving these daos for himself.

He had done so with the Phoenix Realm, and he expected himself to do the same with the other realms. With this plan, those people would grow his fake daos just by cultivating. And when they grew enough to fuse his pages into their daos, all of them would be his puppets. A day would come when he would drain them completely.

Yes, there was a possibility of backlash. But there was risk in everything. Even suppressing them alone came with its own risks. Thus, he believed that his current arrangement was a more efficient one.

Hearing Su Yu’s words, South Heavenly King could only accept his decision. After all, he was even addressing her as his martial mother. How could she continue protesting? In any case, everyone else in their camp obeyed Su Yu unconditionally. None would protest against his decisions.

Su Yu was in no rush to attack the Ape Realm. He had something else to do. It was quite tiring to suppress so many phoenixes in his book. Thus, he intended to first deliver them to the Iron Devourer Realm.

***

Su Yu moved rapidly through the Death Realm.

Shortly after, inside the Iron Devourer Realm.

Inside a massive palace.

June was celebrating something in excitement when his eyes suddenly flickered. After a short moment, he laughed and said, “Welcome, Emperor Yu. Why didn’t you inform us of your arrival in advance? I could have welcomed you personally.”

Su Yu walked out of thin air with a smile and said, “Congratulations, September. You’re finally a Daofuse.”

September flashed him an honest smile and said, “I have Emperor Yu to thank for this. Without Emperor Yu and the favor of my ancestor, I wouldn’t have been able to achieve Daofuse so soon.”

Yes. September had finally reached the Daofuse Realm. The iron devourer race had produced their second Daofuse in the Lower Realm.

Su Yu laughed and said, “That was your fortuitous encounter. You only need to thank yourself.”

June flashed him an honest smile as well and said, “No, you brought us this good fortune, Emperor Yu. Now that September has advanced, I will pass on the seat of the Pseudo Emperor to him. In the future, I will only focus on my cultivation in preparation for the war against the Upper Realm.”

“There is no need to worry about the Upper Realm for now.” Su Yu said, “I’m here to ask you a favor, Senior.”
