Chapter 2279: Secrets Of The Three Body Method (1)

Celestial River of Death.

Su Yu frowned slightly. The Master of Death was strong. Probably stronger than Culture King and Martial King or he wouldn't have been able to project himself out here from behind the gate.

The Master of the Perished was an imprint left in the past, but the being Su Yu faced earlier was clearly the power projected from behind the gate.

"Things seem complicated behind the Heaven Gate."

Su Yu could guess that much. Even someone as powerful as the Master of Death was stuck inside. Did he enter voluntarily or was he sealed inside back then? The number of powerhouses behind the Heaven Gate wouldn't be low. ℯℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Were all of them the powerhouses of the Creation Era? Were there more powerhouses during the Creation Era than the Chaos Era? That was likely. The world came into existence after Master of Time's creation. If people joined the world right after its creation...

Su Yu blinked. Right, would Master of Time's creation elevate a bunch of people? With how powerful the Master of Time was, the first batch of powerhouses joining his world would probably stand at the very peak.

"Are these the people sealed behind the Heaven Gate? Is one of them Culture King's opponent?"

Numerous new thoughts appeared in Su Yu's mind. He knew too little. Thus, it was hard for him to deduce much.

Su Yu did not have the time to further contemplate the issue. He could feel that his world was expanding yet again. The power of yin and yang swirled around his world. Inside the projection of Su Yu's world, Death Imperator slowly transformed.

An incredible burst of power emerged from his body.

And next, a refined middle-aged man with his hair coiled in a bun and clad in green robes appeared. He had a complicated expression on his face as the power of stars flickered all over his body. Noticing Su Yu's gaze, he bowed and said, "Thank you for your favor, Your Majesty."

Chaos lightning bolts were raining down on him, but he was completely unaffected. He was too strong to be punished by an ordinary tribulation. In any case, Su Yu's world has also grown much stronger than before, making it easier for him to resist the chaos tribulation.

When the tribulation was over, Death Imperator walked out. His aura started climbing, and slowly, he went beyond the fourth tier. Eventually, he reached the lower end of the third tier. At this level, he was still considerably weaker than Martial Emperor.

However, this was decent enough. He was still the strongest powerhouse under Su Yu after Martial Emperor. Excluding Great Zhou King, who was always so mysterious, even South Heavenly King would only be at the higher end of the fourth tier inside Su Yu's world.

The chaos dragon was around that level as well.

"Congratulations!" Su Yu smiled. Death Imperator had complicated feelings about this. As he adapted to his new body, he said, "I have slumbered through numerous eras, and now, I'm reborn in the world of the living. I wonder how long I can live this time."

He spoke in a self-mocking manner. As a defeated who had died at the end of the Creation Era, it was only natural for him to have such mixed feelings about his return to the world of the living.

Even back then, he had never compromised or submitted. But now, he had returned to life after submitting to Su Yu.

Su Yu laughed, "Who knows? But don't you agree that this is a wondrous era? You might miss out on a lot of magical moments if you remain dead. I am confident this is the most interesting era ever."

Master of Time, Master of Death, Human Emperor, and Human Ancestor. Of these people, Human Ancestor and Master of Death had probably fought each other before. The rest of them originated from different eras entirely.

And this was an era where all these entities would converge. Culture King, Su Yu himself, and many others.

Su Yu grinned. What an interesting era. This might be his sole chance to experience something like this.

Death Imperator blanked out slightly before nodding in agreement, "Indeed. I'm wondering if all those bright geniuses of my era will all return as well."

Su Yu asked, "Apart from Human Ancestor and the Master of Death, were there other geniuses of note in that era?"

"Yes." Death Imperator nodded, "That is a wondrous era as well. Before me, even the likes of Devil Ancestor, Immortal Ancestor, and Divine Ancestor walked the land.

"The Creation Era was such an incredible era. It was an era where numerous talents and daos bloomed. The chaos and the myriad races clashed in and out of chaos. I was merely a nobody who had lived during the end of the Creation Era. Those prominent beings were more like legends for me.

"The ancestors of the myriad races might all return..."

He was prophesying the return of the most prominent beings of the various eras, culminating into the brightest era ever.

Hearing that, Su Yu frowned, "Are you saying that there is an ancestor for every race?"

Death Imperator laughed, "You jest, Your Majesty."

Of course!

"You don't really think that the realms and major daos of the major races were actually created by their modern people, right? The suppressive force of the various realms only appeared in the ancient past. As for the creation of these realms, Your Majesty, is it hard for you to create a new realm with your current strength?"

Su Yu thought about it and said, "It won't be easy."

Creating a new realm.

The world known as the Myriad Realms was created by the Master of Time. But the numerous realms inside the world were created by the myriad races. In short, the people who had created these realms were also incredibly powerful.

Su Yu said, "I thought that the various realms were also created by the Master of Time..."

"The entire world was created by him, but the realms inside weren't." Death Imperator shook his head, "First, the Master of Time created the world. Then, some people, including some chaos beasts, entered the world and started opening their own realms. Most of these realms were opened near the location of their chosen daos.

"As a result, countless realms came into existence. But some had long been destroyed, and some of the currently existing realms were newer than the others. Or some were old realms with new inhabitants."

"Ancestors of the myriad races?"

Su Yu muttered to himself. How many of these ancestors were dead? How many survived? Where were they? Inside the Heaven Gate? Strictly speaking, all of them should belong to the Creation Era.

The Chaos Era was weaker than the Creation Era...Suddenly, a certain understanding dawned on Su Yu. He understood why the Heaven Gate was stronger.

Because a large number of the chaos powerhouses had opted to settle down in the world after creation. They fused with the River of Time and separated themselves from chaos. As a result, the number of chaos powerhouses declined sharply.

"Thus, the Chaos Era is weaker than the Creation Era. What about the Human Gate? What is it sealing?"

The Human Gate might be related to Human Ancestor. Was the Human Gate supposed to seal the primordial past? But the primordial past had not really ended. There was a clear continuation until the current age.

A simple explanation from Death Imperator churned up numerous new thoughts in Su Yu's mind. Shortly after, Su Yu pushed everything aside. It was not the time to think about all that.

He had received too much information all of a sudden. He couldn't digest all the new information immediately. It was enough to note everything down for now. One day, inspiration might strike and allow him to manage all the information properly.

Su Yu smiled and said, "Tier three. Not bad at all. You're at the level of Battle King and the others at the end of the ancient past."

Death Imperator smiled, but he didn't feel anything about it. He was older than even Grand Dream, yet this was his level of strength after so many years. He had even benefited from Su Yu's favor. There was nothing worth celebrating about this.

On the other hand, Grand Dream would rarely feel insecure about his strength. He was very old, but he spent most of his time sleeping. Thus, he didn't even feel old as he had simply not experienced the long passage of time. For him, ten thousand years were the same as one year. Deep inside, he still viewed himself as a youngster.

Su Yu's gaze landed on Liu Hong. Liu Hong was deathly pale. He had thought that he would die when the Master of Death appeared. Fortunately, everything was over.

He said, "The Master of Law sure is domineering. The Master of Time is much better."

There was no reaction from the Master of Time even when so many people were stealing from him. He was either dead, or missing, or in deep sleep, or completely unbothered about the theft.

Su Yu laughed and said, "True, but the Master of Time is different. Our world is everything for Creators like us, but the Master of Time was already strong enough to sweep through the chaos before his creation. Perhaps the entire River of Time was merely a toy for him. There is no comparing him and us."

The stronger Su Yu grew, the more he could appreciate just how terrifyingly strong the Master of Time was.

Su Yu dared to provoke the Master of Death as that was the height he saw himself reaching one day. But he couldn't even imagine catching up to someone like the Master of Time. Was that even possible?

What a terrifying being.

However, this was far from enough to cause him to be discouraged. He grinned and said, "Forget about them for now. Death Spirit King is back in the world of the living. This is a good thing. Previously, we spoke of the Three Body Method. Liu Hong, you'll serve as a three-way connector here. Death Spirit King, come with me to the Myriad Realms."

Su Yu raised his brow and added, "Should I still be calling you the Death Spirit King right now?"

He was no longer dead.

Death Imperator did not seem to care as he said, "It doesn't matter. I am whatever Your Majesty wishes me to be."

Su Yu said nothing. Fine. Should he call this guy King Chen instead?

He joked, "Those from your era loved using a single word as a name. Sun, Moon, Star, Chen, Su, Lie, Zhang...so was there someone with Sun as their name?"

"..."

After a long pause, Death Imperator answered, "Yes. Sun...was a supreme powerhouse. I don't know much about these people, but I know that Star's descendant might be the famous Human Emperor." (Star = Xing)

Su Yu blanked out.

Star! (Xing)

Xing Yu, Xing Yue...

This was similar to how the Human Ancestor was called Zhou and all his descendants took his name as their surname.

Noticing that Su Yu was blanking out, Death Imperator said, "Sun, Moon, Star...these were actually common names. Many people shared the same names, but it is naturally far easier for the bloodlines of powerhouses to be preserved."

"As Chen, you're not so simple, right?"

Death Imperator said self-mockingly, "Not really. I can only say that there weren't too many star cultivators back then. That was why I gave myself that name." (Xing = Star, Xing Chen = Stars)

Su Yu nodded, "Human Ancestor is Zhou. Human Emperor's ancestor is Star. Did the two live in the same era?"

"Yes, but I don't know if there was any interaction between the two back then." Death Imperator said, "To speak the truth, the so-called Human Ancestor was merely a leader of one of the human branches."

"What?"

Death Imperator explained, "At the time, the Myriad Realms were in chaos. Humanity was spread throughout the world, and some even lived amid chaos. There were several prominent human tribes among these humans. The tribe led by Human Ancestor was merely one of the major human tribes.

"Eventually, Human Ancestor grew in both strength and fame. As a result, many tribes joined him. Thus, he was honored as the one who had brought glory to humanity. The giant race should be the tribe directly subordinate to him. Thus, it wasn't surprising that Hundred Battle and Yu were so close to the giant race."

A tribe directly subordinate to Human Ancestor.
