Chapter 2386: Upgrade, Depart (3)

Su Yu had spent some time stabilizing his world, growing it, and digesting his recent gains.

After Immortal Pseudo Emperor's death, he had absorbed quite a lot of power from Immortal Pseudo Emperor's dao. Unfortunately, either Sacred Source or Tiangu had rapidly occupied the vacated space in the dao, blocking Su Yu from taking more from it.

Otherwise, that would have been an opportunity to push Xing Yue all the way to the first tier. With someone new occupying the dao, they couldn't take more unless they had a way to break the entire dao apart.

Nevertheless, Su Yu's world had still grown considerably with the addition of several tier-ones and tier-twos in his world. His strength inside his world had grown massively as well.

Inside the human lord's token.

Twenty-four faint golden dragons were swimming around Su Yu, signifying that he had reached twenty-four daos in strength. One would be a tier-one after reaching sixteen daos. This signified that Su Yu was already a middle tier-one.

His growth was unbelievably fast. Having grown this much, he had finally fully digested all his recent gains. The stronger one was, the slower growth would be.

Su Yu wasn't too bothered by his so-called slow growth. At the moment, he had something else to worry about. The gap between the different daos in his world was too big. As he thought about that, he frowned.

Of the three thousand or so daos in his world, about two thousand of them were incredibly weak. Meanwhile, the strongest daos in his world were tier-ones. Such imbalance was not a good thing for his world. At this rate, his world would grow unstable again.

Meanwhile, Human Emperor's world, Culture King's world, and even Lan Tian's world were much more stable.

This was quite a serious issue. To solve this, he had to kill a large number of Heaven Gate powerhouses and feed their daos into his world to strengthen the other daos. Or he could also gather a large amount of dao power to strengthen the weaker daos and shorten the gap.

"How annoying."

Su Yu shook his head. This was the disadvantage of growing too fast.

Some of his daos were weaker than the daos in Lan Tian's world. Unlike Lan Tian, he was not attached to the River of Time. He had no supply of dao power to constantly strengthen his weaker daos.

He could also solve his current issue by attaching himself to the River of Time, but this wasn't the path he wanted to take.

Su Yu's head started aching. This was quite troublesome. The Heaven Gate was most likely the more feasible solution he had access to. Kill some people and strengthen his weaker daos.

Now that Su Yu was free once again, he started considering the matter of entering the Heaven Gate. He would only enter as a projection. He was uninterested in courting trouble by sending his main body inside.

Things could always change. If the situation permitted, he could find Culture King, take over a forbidden zone, and gain the freedom to enter and leave the Heaven Gate, he could consider entering with his main body.

Just then, Su Yu's attention was pulled toward some voices outside.

***

Outside the human lord's token.

Great Ming King was throwing a tantrum like he was three. Grabbing onto Radiant King's arm, he cried, "Ancestor! His Majesty's world is stable! It's time you return my dao!"

A tier-one dao!

Great Ming King was abandoning every form of self-respect and started crying in public for the sake of a tier-one dao.

Previously, his ancestor had claimed that His Majesty's world was unstable, so returning his dao was not possible. Since the world was finally stable, shouldn't his ancestor be returning his dao?

Why was his ancestor reneging on it? A tier-one dao was too attractive. Radiant King was feeling quite helpless at how shameless this descendant of his was. This was too headache-inducing. This fellow had been crying by his side for several days in a row.

He explained helplessly, "Be patient. In truth, the world is still not stable enough. It only feels stable because Emperor Yu is here. Can't you see that there is a serious imbalance between the daos here? The world can collapse easily due to this imbalance.

"Your comprehension of the formation dao is not deep enough to help keep the world stable. If you doubt me, you can ask Emperor Yu about this. The formation dao is here to keep the world stable. You lack the ability to properly control a tier-one dao. Everything might go out of control and start falling apart again. You will kill Emperor Yu."

Radiant King looked at the surrounding crowd and sighed, "Everyone, I'm really not stealing from my descendant. I'm not the type to do that. I'm doing this out of necessity. If you really want to see Emperor Yu's world collapse, sure. I can give up on this formation dao."

Before Great Ming King could even say anything, many expressions changed.

Someone said, "Great Ming King, why don't you pick a different dao? Senior Radiant King is right."

"Yeah, Old Zhu. Pick a different dao." The second speaker was none other than Great Qin King. He said, "Let alone tier one, I nearly lose control of my dao even at tier two. You definitely can't properly control a tier-one dao. The world can fall apart easily under your control."

"Yeah, forget it."

"..."

The many powerhouses started persuading Great Ming King.

Radiant King added, "How about this? You won't be getting the formation dao anytime soon. Through my recent observations, I noticed several similar daos available. They are all masterless. You can consider them.

"I suggest the cage dao. It's quite similar to the dao Control cultivated in the past, the dao Control had cultivated all the way into a Cardinal King." "Ignoring her character, she has quite an impressive cultivation. You can give this dao a chance. When Emperor Yu and Human Emperor kill her in the future, you can swallow her dao and shoot straight to the first tier."

Great Ming King cursed inwardly.

What nonsense.

He knew that dao. That was an incredibly weak dao. Cultivating that weak dao would only make him a tier-five. Perhaps he would be a tier-four with the boost of the world, but this would still be a drop of strength for him.

Clearly, his ancestor was being a scoundrel! The damn scoundrel ancestor was really going to monopolize his dao!

Understanding that there was no way he could get the dao back from his ancestor, he said gloomily, "Ancestor, it's not that I must have the formation dao. I can accept the cage dao as well. How about this, Ancestor? I heard that you killed a peak tier-two back then. You still have the corpse with you. Why don't you give me the corpse to make up for what I'm losing..."

It was Radiant King's turn to curse inwardly. He knew it!

Sure enough!

He had been wondering why this guy was bothering him despite knowing how difficult a tier-one dao was to control. So this was the actual goal!

Just as he was about to refuse, he met Great Ming King's sulky gaze. It was as though Great Ming King would really start crying if he refused.

Radiant King was left extremely helpless.

Finally, he said, "Fine, fine. You can have it. With this, everything between us is cleared."

"Sure."

Great Ming King agreed easily.

Su Yu didn't know whether he should laugh or cry about this. Sure enough, every member of the Zhu Family was as crafty as the other.

Great Ming King kept talking as if he was very respectful of his ancestor, but his actual goal was to milk his ancestor dry. After entertaining himself with some eavesdropping, Su Yu vanished with a flicker.

***

Inside Human Emperor's world.

Suddenly, Human Emperor's eyes snapped open. He said helplessly, "Is it so difficult to tell me before entering?"

Su Yu smiled, "It's not like Your Majesty can't notice me."

Human Emperor had nothing to say about that.

Su Yu continued, "I intend to enter the Heaven Gate and look around."

Human Emperor wasn't surprised. He thought about it and said, "I can't do so. It is likely that a powerful being is near my gate. I can be easily detected once entering.

"If you really want to enter, it's doable. But remember to not enter with your main body unless you are absolutely confident that you have everything under control. Otherwise, you'll be stuck inside with Wen Number Two and the others.

"Also, don't provoke too many powerhouses in there. That's pointless. We can handle them when they're out. Time is on our side."

Su Yu nodded.

Human Emperor continued, "After entering, trust no one. Wen Number Two and Martial King are different, but don't trust anyone else. Including Culture, Star, and the other ancestors. Do not trust them.

"Ultimately, we belong to different eras. They are so many generations removed from us for our relationship to even matter. Strictly speaking, the immortals, devils, and divines are humans as well. But have you ever considered them humans? Do not go soft in there."

Su Yu laughed, "I am definitely not as soft as Your Majesty."

Human Emperor rolled his eyes and said, "No shit. I'm benevolent toward our own. But in the eyes of outsiders, I am more of a devil than an actual devil. Kind internally and ruthless externally. What do you know? You have a tough exterior, but you're a softie inside. You're still too young to understand this."

The little shit still couldn't understand his greatness. Star was his ancestor, but so what? He would not show any mercy toward Star either. And this was something he had to remind Su Yu about.

He added, "Also, don't enter the forbidden zones rashly. The strength of someone beyond tier one is beyond your imagination. They have access to countless abilities, and some are even capable of killing main bodies through clones."

At that, Su Yu's face turned solemn as he nodded. He would keep this in mind.

Human Emperor continued his lecture, and Su Yu listened in silence. After some time, he finally left.

Looking at Su Yu's departing back, Human Emperor sighed. He could only hope that things would go well for this fellow, and he also hoped that this fellow wouldn't do anything crazy in there. Why? Why were all of them so worrisome?

Wen Number Two, Martial Number Four, all these people were troublemakers.

"Life as the big brother is...very tiring."

Human Emperor shook his head and sighed. He didn't want to be the big brother anymore. Big brother? He felt more like a big babysitter instead.

***

Su Yu, who was leaving Human Emperor's world, chuckled.

He was in an excellent mood.

He felt a lot more relaxed than before. This taste of freedom felt great. It would be fine even if he were to leave in his main body. After all, Human Emperor was around.

This felt excellent.

No wonder Culture King could leave without worry back then.

Sure enough, people like Human Emperor were the best to have around. They were very good at cleaning up after others.
