Tribulation of Myriad Races

Why was Profound Nine picked for no reason? What could Profound Nine even contribute there? They even needed to supply him with a large amount of heavenly source qi. There was no need for this. Was it possible that the department head knew that Profound Nine was Su Yu? That shouldn't be possible.

First Profound was suspicious, not understanding what the Yellow Department's head was thinking. It was understandable for him to be picked. But it was quite abnormal for Profound Nine to be picked as well.

The department head said, "Profound Nine was able to make eighty thousand heavenly hunt points from this one incident. This trip to the Human Realm is my reward for his outstanding performance. You don't understand. The Human Realm is very unique. Their Invincible ruins are even more unique. It is only a matter of time before Profound Nine dies of death qi erosion. But according to the rumors, the Nanyuan ruin is quite high in level. If he can gain entry to that ruin, his connection to death qi might be temporarily severed, as though he has entered the Luminous Domain Mansion. The ancient city and death spirits won't be able to gain access to the Human Realm."

Understanding dawned on First Profound. He said in surprise, "Lord, you mean Profound Nine might be able to break free from the ancient city by entering the Nanyuan ruin?"

The department head nodded, "Yes. The death spirit who has converted Profound Nine will either be a Mountainsea or a Sunmoon. The hope of severing a death qi connection of such level is quite high. I'm doing this to give your dependable subordinate a chance to not die pointlessly in an ancient city."

The other elders hurriedly said, "Department Head, we also have some ancient city residents under us..."

The department head said, "They will be selected based on their contribution and ability. We might need to pay a high price to enter the ruin. Profound Nine has accumulated over a hundred thousand heavenly hunt points in contribution. That's why he's being given this opportunity. As for the heavenly source qi he needs, the pavilion will only supply seventy percent of it while he will supply the rest himself. If you have someone just as capable under you, I'll naturally allow them to enter as well."

After thinking about it, the elders concluded that it just wasn't worth it. It would be too expensive.

But First Profound was left quite speechless. He did not think this would work. Su Yu was converted by a death sovereign. The power of an Invincible was required to even attempt to sever a connection like that.

No, wait. Suddenly, he recalled that wasn't the Nanyuan ruin essentially Su Yu's? He had a ruin in Nanyuan...this...might really work!

Su Yu had been turned into a living dead. If he could enter the Nanyuan ruin coupled with obtaining the help of Invincibles, he might really be able to break free. Great Xia King and Great Ming King might be in the Human Realm at this moment.

But first, the ruin needed to be powerful enough. Was it powerful enough?

First Profound believed that it should be quite powerful. Perhaps the rumors were true. It might even be a Pseudo Emperor ruin. But only Su Yu knew the answer.

Before long, he sent the message to Su Yu. Naturally, this wouldn't be easy to pull off. Firstly, Su Yu was no regular resident. He was a mayor. Could a mayor leave for long? Secondly, did he have enough heavenly source qi? Wait, it was pointless to doubt his wealth. Thirdly, would the death qi backlash be too powerful for someone like him? Fourthly, could he really sever a connection formed by a death sovereign?

First Profound was unsure. Whatever. Su Yu could think about it himself. As a mayor, leaving might not be possible for him.

The various races were also thinking about the Human Realm.

As for Grandstar City, the masses had decided that they would stop provoking Su Yu. It just wasn't worth it.

The sudden move of the human race had attracted the gazes of the various races. There was a need to reevaluate the human race and figure out what the humans were planning. They also needed to consider the multiple character faction. If Su Yu alone was already so troublesome, how about the others?

In the past, everyone believed that the multiple character faction was no longer as fearful without Ye Batian. But with Su Yu's recent actions, they had no choice but to take the multiple character faction seriously yet again. Who knew if the multiple character faction would produce someone like Su Yu again?

And thus, the Human Realm and Great Xia in particular became the center of attention.

As for the Silkwyrm King, he was already dead. What were they supposed to do about that? Were they supposed to declare war against the humans because of that?

The divines and devils were happy to see that. The humans had rashly killed an Invincible, causing all the minor races to be in deep fear. That way, they would be a lot more supportive of any action to cull the human race.

The humans were too big of a threat. Even the divines and devils would need to send at least ten Invincibles to kill one Invincible when invading a foreign realm. Meanwhile, the humans had easily killed Silkwyrm King with a much smaller number of Invincibles before anyone could detect it. That was too scary.

The myriad races would rather see the divines and devils dominate than the humans. This was the current position of the human race amid the myriad races. If they were too aggressive, they would cause the other races to be wary of them.

If they held back, what happened previously would happen again. Everyone would view humanity with disdain. In the end, the main issue was humanity's immunity to the suppressive force of the various realms.

The Invincibles of the minor races would basically be untouchable if they remained in their realms. But with humanity in the picture, that was no longer true.

A storm started brewing in the Myriad Realms.

Human Realm.

Great Xia City.

Heart Cultivating Pavilion.

Wan Tiansheng also heard about what happened. He inhaled deeply. Impressive. That fellow had stirred such a big pile of shit that even the stone statue was stirred out of the city. As for the death of Silkwyrm King, he wasn't too bothered about it. He had been expecting this to happen.

Great Qin King was no pushover. He had merely been stuck with indecisiveness due to numerous factors. This time, he had finally firmed his heart to actually do something. This was a good thing.

Of course, without first resolving the internal affairs of humanity, Great Qin King would never be able to fully let go of his misgivings.

This was what Great Xia was trying to do. Hopefully, this plan would remove some of the misgivings from Great Qin King's mind.

"Grandstar City...after this, nobody will dare to target that place anymore, right? In that case, all the attention can finally return to the Human Realm with Silkwyrm King's death..."

It had been way too difficult to carry out this plan. Great Xia had worked hard for so long but again and again, Su Yu alone had monopolized the attention of the Myriad Realms. Damn it! Finally! With this, that shit stirrer would calm down for a bit, right?

Even if that brat was unwilling to stop, nobody would go to him anymore. He would no longer be able to stir any shit. He should just enjoy some peace as a mayor.

Wan Tiansheng's thought returned to the vision he saw. Perhaps...that was inaccurate, after all. Even if it was accurate, that was probably an event many years in the future. Su Yu wouldn't be able to return to the Human Realm anytime soon after becoming an ancient city mayor.

In any case, he definitely wouldn't be able to return in time for the next major incident.

Wan Tiansheng exhaled deeply. Why was life so hard?

Nobody in the Myriad Realms could fight Great Xia for attention. Su Yu alone was the exception. He had been monopolizing the attention of the Myriad Realms for so long. Because of that, the Nanyuan plan had to be delayed again and again.

Even the opening of the Multiple Character Faculty and the release of the disassembly method had only been able to attract some minor figures. One ought to know that prior to Su Yu's shit-stirring, the disassembly method was the one thing everyone focused on.

"Finally, we're back on track."

Wan Tiansheng was greatly relieved.

Kid, just stay in the ancient city. Please stop stirring shit. Please. Just stop.

Yes. Wan Tiansheng was already traumatized by all the shit stirred by Su Yu. The feeling of everything running out of control was terrible. He did not want to feel that ever again.

***

Everyone believed that Su Yu would finally calm down.

Meanwhile, Su Yu finally saw First Profound's message. He was greatly surprised. Returning to the Human Realm? Because that so-called Nanyuan ruin might be his hope of breaking free from the ancient city?

Su Yu was speechless. What bullshit was that? Nobody knew better than him that there was no ruin in Nanyuan. Then again, he was probably the only person who would believe that. Even Marquis Xia and the others probably believed that there was an undiscovered ruin in Nanyuan.

"Returning to Human Realm..."

Su Yu sank into thought. Could he? Or to be precise, what could he do even after returning? His gaze landed on the mayor's residence. He licked his lips, wondering if he could carry the entire ancient city back home. Or at the very least, could he carry the stone statue with him? That would be amazing!

With the stone statue, he would remain a powerful warlord even back in Human Realm. But without the city or the stone statue, Su Yu couldn't see what he could do back home. With his strength, he would at most be able to contend against Sunmoons. But he still wanted to go back.

Just look at how even the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion was starting to send their people into the Human Realm. Not satisfied with sending only the two chambers on the task, even the four departments were getting involved. Clearly, the Human Realm was going to be the next center of attention.

"The Luminous Domain Mansion will probably take six more months to open. In the meantime, everyone will be focused on the Human Realm..."

Su Yu sank into thought. Then, he stood up and left the building. Perhaps it was time for him to have a talk with the stone statue. Previously, the burden of death qi on him had increased massively after the stone statue left. That gave him some new ideas. The stone statue could leave the city, but there were some limitations.

And the limitations were related to death qi.

A talk between them was needed.
