Tribulation of Myriad Races - Chapter 1864: New Domain (1)

Chapter 1864: New Domain (1)

The four realms had been conquered smoothly.

The iron devourers were watching over the phoenixes, the hous were watching over the apes, and the spatial beasts were watching over the kunpengs.

As for the dragons, the Celestial Dragon Marquis was strong. Even without his body, he couldn’t be underestimated. It was dangerous to leave him to someone else, but it was also risky to leave him in the Human Realm due to the lack of a suppressive force.

It also wasn’t the time to kill him yet. Su Yu still wanted that guy to nurture his dragon dao for him. After thinking about it for a long while, he decided to send the dragons to the Culture King’s Residence. The white dog would personally watch over them.

Even at his peak strength, the Celestial Dragon Marquis would only be reduced to food the moment he challenged the white dog. Through the conquest, Su Yu had gathered quite a number of assembly tokens. Including what he had gathered before, he had accumulated over thirty of them.

As for why he hadn’t sent the dragons to the two soul devourers…well, Su Yu was worried that all of them would be eaten after a few days. Compared to Soy Bun and his wife, the white dog was a lot more reliable.

Human Realm.

Once again, Su Yu returned. This time, he returned with Great Zhou King, Wan Tiansheng, and Great Ming King.

Back in the Human Realm, Wan Tiansheng asked, “Do we go after Bountiful Treasure now? He is quite fast at running, but we did encounter him once. He claimed that he wished to change his ways and return to the embrace of humanity. What do you think?”

“Bountiful Treasure?” Su Yu snorted, “He is the type to not repent unless he has absolutely no choice. Tell him to kill Heavenly Overseer Marquis as proof of loyalty. Not everyone can join us now.”

Wan Tiansheng was left speechless. That would be almost impossible. Bountiful Treasure was a fresh Daofuse. He would never be a match for Heavenly Overseer Marquis.

Su Yu moved on from the topic and said, “Director Wan, both you and Great Zhou King will be free for now. Thus, focus only on increasing the strength of humanity. Produce as many Eternals as possible. Use the Three Body Method if you need to. We don’t need them to be too strong in combat. For now, we need numbers.”

Wan Tiansheng had a pensive look. Great Zhou King asked, “Do you not need them to walk a different dao?”

Su Yu said, “No. I only need their numbers. When I kill Hundred Battle King, the dao will be open for everyone. We will probably get seven or eight new Daofuses instantly. What’s the point of going through the trouble of walking new daos? We can use this as the chance to weaken Hundred Battle King.”

“…”

Silence descended.

When Great Zhou King smiled bitterly, Su Yu smiled as well. He continued, “Zhao Chuan and the others should move faster as well. Find the alternate entrance to the Upper Realm and seal it.

“In the short term, humanity will enter a rapid development phase. Don’t stop our war against the minor realms. Ignore the bigger realms. Our number of Daofuses can remain stagnant for now, but increase the number of our Eternals as much as possible. We have sufficient carrier treasures and resources. I only require them to pursue the easiest physical body dao. That is the easiest dao to affirm. With all the resources in the world, I refuse to believe we can’t produce more Eternals. I won’t even aim too high. But we need to produce at least thirty or fifty of them, right?

“I refuse to believe that humanity don’t have thirty or fifty geniuses with the potential to step into the Eternal Realm after hundreds of years of accumulation.”

Great Zhou King nodded, “We definitely have enough people. As long as enough carrier treasures are provided, and they pursue only the Three Body Method, it won’t be an issue. After all, the myriad races aren’t around to interfere with their dao affirmation anymore. Advancement won’t be an issue, even if future growth might be an issue for these people.”

“That is a problem for the future.”

Su Yu was unbothered. For now, he only needed more Eternals, or at the very least, more humans with the ability to utilize the power of laws.

Great Zhou King couldn’t protest to this. Su Yu continued, “As for the older Eternals, they should set their sights on the Daofuse Realm. For example, people like Great Han King. The rest of them who are still following the physical body path should prioritize reaching the ninth degree. Be on standby to enter the Daofuse Realm the moment Hundred Battle King dies.”

“Are you starting to view him as a potential enemy?” Great Zhou King smiled bitterly.

Su Yu nodded, “You can say so. If he goes against me, I will kill him. I have a feeling that his death will produce at least seven or eight new Daofuses among humanity.”

Great Zhou King was feeling very helpless, but he couldn’t say much.

To the side, Wan Tiansheng laughed and asked, “What about you?”

“Me?” Su Yu smiled and said, “It’s time for me to grow. With the four realms conquered, we can take our time with Heavenly Overseer Marquis and Bountiful Treasure. There is no rush. We only need to keep the pressure on them, attacking them every now and then. We must continue looking busy before the myriad races. That will keep them scared, ensuring that they will remain inside their realms.”

“Sure.”

“One more matter. Apart from the three major races, the minor races, including those ancient races with no Daofuses, might have some assembly tokens in their possession. Hand me all the assembly tokens you find during the battles against them.”

“Okay.”

***

Su Yu ended the meeting quickly. He needed to take a trip to Culture King’s Residence. After that, he intended to tour the Myriad Realms. He planned to plant his pages everywhere. Then, the myriad races would grow his daos for him.

This was much better than using the blood essence of the myriad races. Instead of killing them, he was having them work for him unknowingly. When they were done growing his daos for him, he would recollect his pages and reform his Mark of Civilization.

And then, he could start considering the matter of absorbing the Book of Time. If that were possible, Su Yu could potentially use his Mark of Civilization to create a new dao. He could even attempt to create a dao independent from the River of Time like the Celestial River of Death.

Yes. He was starting to distance himself from the River of Time. This was a form of insurance against any potential future trouble. Of course, he would continue deepening his comprehension and mastery of the pen dao for now. The Mark of Civilization would remain his trump card.

With this, when an unexpected change occurred in the future and he was stripped of the pen dao, he would surprise his opponent with his ability to use numerous other daos. He was already starting to plan for the future. He would not stop cultivating the pen dao. That would serve as his cover for now. He would disguise himself as a pure pen dao cultivator.

As long as the River of Time remained normal, he would continue appearing as a pen dao expert. And when something happened, he would remain a super expert, someone who had pioneered his own dao.

After all, he was a self-professed scholar. How could a refined scholar like him not prepare some backup plans for himself?

In fact, he was also treating Culture King as an imaginary enemy. If Culture King were to snatch the pen dao from him in the future, what could he do if that was the only dao he relied on?

Since he could use others to grow his daos for him, he was also worried that someone was doing the same to him. He would not remain as a crop to be harvested at any time.

Culture King’s Residence.

The moment Su Yu arrived, he laughed and said, “Senior Fat Ball, I come bearing gifts!”

Then, he tossed a bunch of dragons out. The Celestial Dragon Marquis had rebuilt a weak physical body. The moment he laid eyes on his environment, he paled with fright. A residence in the middle of the River of Time!

Culture King’s territory?

Shortly after Fat Ball came out. When he saw the dragons, he complained, “Are we roasting them all? There are too many of them!”

Celestial Dragon Marquis’ face fell.

Su Yu chuckled and said, “No, we’re not eating them. We will be locking them here for now. I’m running out of places to lock people down. The Soul Devourer Realm isn’t suitable as I’m afraid that the little furball’s parents will eat them all up.”

At that, the little furball flew out. He sniffed the dragons and complained, “Tiangu smells better! They’re not yummy!”

Su Yu rolled his eyes. The little furball was speaking like he was actually capable of eating dragons. Why was he even complaining about this? Speaking of, the little fellow’s aura had been growing as of late. He felt like he was near the Sunmoon Realm. Had he discovered his dao? Or had he simply grown due to the sheer amount of treasures he had eaten?

Fat Ball was left quite speechless as well. But he moved on quickly as he said, “Sure. But we need to lock them up somewhere. I can’t let them damage my flowers. Little Master built an underground prison back then, so we can put that prison to use. Back then, Little Master would always lock the food she captured down there.”

At this point, the Celestial Dragon Marquis couldn’t hold it in anymore. He said, “Su Yu, just kill me. Why humiliate me like this?”

A cellar for food?

What was Su Yu implying here?

Su Yu laughed at that, but Fat Ball said in surprise, “Why? Is that not feasible? That prison is very good for dragons. I remember that a long time ago, Little Master captured a dragon called Long Ji and locked him down there as well. He didn’t complain at all.”

“Long Ji?” The Celestial Dragon Marquis’ eyes flickered. After a long silence, he asked, “Is your little master…the Time Sage?”

“Yeah.”

“Sure enough, Culture King and Time Sage are one and the same!”

Celestial Dragon Marquis gnashed his teeth. Long Ji was a peak expert of his race. With the modern classification, he could be called a heavenly king. But he had been captured by the Time Sage, and he had been missing since then. So he was brought here!

“Master is Master, and Little Master is Little Master! They are not the same!”

Fat Ball argued, but he didn’t bother to push it. He couldn’t be bothered to care about what the dragon believed. Fat Ball seemed distracted. He was busy finding a chance to ask for the stone back from Su Yu. He had to get the stone back before Su Yu discovered its purpose.

“Big Wood, send them all to the basement.”

“Oh.”

The big tree in the courtyard sent out its numerous branches and grabbed the dragons. Su Yu smiled and said, “Celestial Dragon Marquis, take a rest and recover. As long as the dragons stay obedient, I won’t do anything to you all.”

Celestial Dragon Marquis maintained his gloomy expression in silence. The Dragon Realm was already conquered. Any struggle by him would be pointless. He could only wait for an opportunity to rise again. Before long, they were all dragged to the basement by the big tree.

Su Yu did not bother to watch over them anymore. It was impossible for them to escape now that they were here. How were they supposed to get through the waterfall of time? As for escaping through the River of Time itself, this stretch of the river had been isolated from the rest. Thus, this wasn’t a viable escape option either.

***

With the dragons gone, the white dog feigned indifference and said, “Su Yu, that stone you took previously isn’t useful for you. In that case, give it to me first. A piece of furniture inside was damaged. I’ll use it to balance the furniture instead.”

“Yummy…”

“Big Wood!”

With that, the big tree grabbed the little furball and said, “Time to study.”

“NOOOO!”

Alas, the protest was useless. Before long, the indignant furball was dragged off to study.

Su Yu chuckled and said, “Did anything happen without the stone here?”

“Nothing…”

“In that case, I’ll keep it with me for now.” Su Yu said, “That stone is a treasure. A treasure capable of suppressing the laws. If you urgently need it, I can hand it to you for now. If not, I’ll use it myself first.”

The white dog grew dispirited. So Su Yu was already aware of the stone’s purpose?

He could only say, “You can keep it, but without it, I won’t be able to leave this place easily. Master’s house is too old. It might collapse. That stone can keep things stable without me. But without that stone, I have to stay here and keep things stable. Big Wood can’t keep things stable alone.”

This residence meant everything for the white dog.
