Chapter 2388: Entering The Heaven Gate (2)

Wan Tiansheng thought about it and nodded, "Sure. After entering, try to focus on the dao of emotions as well. When the dao of emotions in your world grows strong enough, I might benefit from it."

He added, "There is still a tiny crack on the Earth Gate. If possible, we might take a look inside as well."

Su Yu did not persuade him against that. Everyone had their own path to follow. He was unwilling to accept the current status quo. It was clear that the others were unwilling as well.

Lan Tian had completed his creation. Su Yu had not offered to do the same for Wan Tiansheng because it was still not the time for him. Firstly, he knew too few daos. Secondly, his daos were not strong enough. Lan Tian's daos were weak as well, but he could make up for that weakness with sheer number.

"Since the principal agrees as well, I have nothing to worry about anymore." Su Yu said, "Human Emperor can continue cleaning up after others since he's very good at this. I can't be bothered to handle all the mess out here. I'll return earlier if possible. For example, I can try to conquer a forbidden zone and leave through the forbidden zone and my gate."

Wan Tiansheng nodded, "Are you saying goodbye to the others?"

"No. I'm not giving anyone the chance to persuade me against it." Su Yu smiled, "Unlike you, they might persuade me to not take risks. Even Human Emperor will say no. But am I really Su Yu if I'm so obedient?"

Would Su Yu still be Su Yu without taking risks? He would always plan his actions properly before doing anything after becoming a human lord. But that was due to necessity. The real Su Yu was a gambler at heart. That was how he had reached his current point. He had gambled and won again and again.

His growth might still be rapid, but his foundation had grown increasingly unsteady. In the past, he would grow with a stable foundation each time he won a bet.

After opening a tiny crack on the gate, Su Yu smiled and said, "See you, Principal."

Su Yu was incredibly decisive. Since he had informed Human Emperor of his potential departure and Wan Tiansheng of his actual departure, he had nothing else to worry about. He would leave his human lord's token behind since its dao signature was too conspicuous inside the gate.

Since he was entering personally, he would be at least twenty daos in strength. That should be enough. In fact, that would make him a respectable powerhouse even among tier-ones. Today was the day for Su Yu to once again experience the freedom of going everywhere his heart desired.

Burden? Human Emperor could have it.

And next, Su Yu vanished inside the gate. Moments later, the gate itself vanished as well. His world shook slightly, but nobody noticed anything.

***

Far away.

Inside Human Emperor's world.

Suddenly, Human Emperor's expression changed drastically as he cursed, "Damn you!"

That madman! That bastard! He left with his main body! The others didn't sense anything, but Human Emperor sensed the departure. He was exasperated.

But after a momentary rage, helplessness and worry sank in. Every last one of them! They were so unreliable!

"In the end, brutes are better."

Human Emperor sighed. Brutes were a lot more obedient in comparison. Unfortunately, it was extremely hard for a brute to become a supreme powerhouse.

After some thought, Human Emperor manifested a gate before him. But immediately after, a cold voice rang out, "Xing Yu, are you coming in? This seat is still waiting."

Human Emperor sighed helplessly. Damn it! That bastard was still waiting for him. He was only trying his luck, but sure enough, that bastard was still there.

"Have things been too peaceful for Heavenly Dome Mountain recently?"

Human Emperor's voice spread into the gate. "Why are you paying so much attention to me? Did I damage your ancestral tombs unknowingly or something? I'm warning you to not provoke me too much. If you annoy me too much, you will come to learn the price of my wrath."

"Bring it on if you have the balls to come in." The master of the Heavenly Dome Mountain replied.

Human Emperor sneered and said, "You can project your clone over instead. I'll have some fun with you."

The Heavenly Dome master did not reply. A clone would be too weak. This was the same as sending his clone to die for nothing.

"If you're really so confident, why don't you remove the restriction and let me through with my Heavenly Dome Mountain?"

"What are you thinking?" Human Emperor laughed, "Enough chatting. Our deadlock will remain. There is no need for any of us to move. Heavenly Dome, we can be considered old friends by now. The Heaven Gate is opening soon, right? I have a proposition. You're not the only forbidden zone master in there. You have plenty of peers. You don't really have any significant advantage over any of them. Have you ever considered cooperating with me?"

"Heh." A sneer rang out, "Xing Yu, you're treacherous and dark-hearted. How many powerhouses from inside the gate had died in your hands? I'm not about to court death by cooperating with you."

Human Emperor was quite a proficient fisherman himself. During the ancient past, he had fished the entire region dry. He was only forced to stop after encountering the Heavenly Dome Mountain master.

"What are you saying?" Human Emperor said, "Hear me out. Not long ago, I defeated the myriad races. Can't you guys feel it inside? Their survivors have gone further upstream. Therefore, I'm quite free for now..."

"They lost?"

Heavenly Dome Mountain master was surprised to hear that.

"Your injuries are quite heavy, right?"

How useless were the myriad races to lose to such a heavily injured Xing Yu?

No wonder he suddenly found the courage to open the gate again. Prior to this, he was scared of even a mere clone from the mountain master. He had been keeping the gate shut for many years.

"I'm almost fully recovered." Human Emperor said, "Isn't it perfectly normal for the myriad races to not be a match for me?"

He added, "Let's stop wasting time. If you're interested in cooperation, do something about that fellow from the Eternal Life Mountain and set Culture King and the others free."

"You should be thankful that I'm leaving them alone. Why do you expect me to help them?"

How ridiculous.

"Have you gone mad? Or am I hearing things?"

"It's up to you." Human Emperor said, "If you wish to be the first to enter the Myriad Realms, consider my proposal. Help me, and I can help you leave earlier. Even if you can leave only a day earlier, you will gain a massive advantage over the others. Are you really going to wait around and leave with the rest of them? Think it through."

Before the other party could reply, Human Emperor shut his gate again.

Would that Heavenly Dome Mountain master do something?

Unlikely.

But anything could happen, right? As long as he had the ambition to leave early, he would do something. And this would throw the world inside the gate into chaos, giving Su Yu the chance to fish in troubled water.

But soon, Human Emperor sighed again. He was feeling very helpless. This was all he could do. They would have to rely on themselves. He could feel that his world was growing at a decent pace, but it would still take him a long time to regain his peak strength.

At that thought, he flickered and appeared before the Earth Gate.

He beckoned at the blurry gate and smiled, "Come on over. I'm not hitting you. Why are you running?"

Slowly, the gate turned incorporeal.

Human Emperor smiled, "Good. It's not like I have a history of hitting you. Yes, I struck you a few times back then, and I even accidentally enlarged the crack on your body. That was my fault. Allow me to apologize. I will give you a formal apology when you're fully recovered."

He reached out and pulled. With a flicker, a different gate was dragged out.

Heavenbridge Marquis greeted awkwardly, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

Human Emperor laughed, "You seem to be doing quite well under Su Yu. You must have gained a lot from him."

"It was all luck and His Majesty's generosity..."

"Are you saying that I'm not generous?"

"No! Not at all!"

Heavenbridge answered with the same awkward expression.

Human Emperor couldn't be bothered to waste their time with small talk. He said, "I'll give you a signal. Send it into the Earth Gate for me and see if you can summon my subordinates over."

Heavenbridge's heart thumped.

Human Emperor beamed, "Yes? What's on your mind?"

"N-nothing."

Human Emperor laughed and said, "Don't be nervous. There's nobody nearby after that punch from me previously. Very few people have the courage to stay around after witnessing my punch."

Fine.

Heavenbridge Marquis did not dare to refuse. After accepting the signal from Human Emperor, he sent some of his power into the Earth Gate.

Human Emperor waited silently.

While sending his power inside, Heavenbridge glanced at Human Emperor, wondering who Human Emperor was trying to summon. Was it January?

It was rumored that January was inside.

After an indeterminate amount of time, a cautious voice rang out, "Your Majesty?"

Human Emperor beamed.

Heavenbridge was surprised. That wasn't January, and it wasn't a familiar voice. Who was it?

Human Emperor said, "It's me."

A tiny bit of power seeped into the gate.

The person on the other side sighed with relief and said, "This subordinate greets his majesty. It has been too many years. This subordinate has been trying to gather information about Your Majesty to no avail, so this subordinate has been very worried..."

"Everything is fine." Human Emperor said, "Things are chaotic inside, so you guys need to stay cautious. Currently, I'm suffering from a rather troublesome injury. Are there any recovery treasures suitable for someone at my cultivation level in there?"

"Treasures?" After a long thought, the other person replied, "I have no way of getting my hands on the better treasures. As for the ones I can actually get, they aren't good enough to help Your Majesty. I can think of something...Human Ancestor's Long Life Bamboo, Master of Chaos' Ageless Root..."

Human Emperor laughed, "Not this nonsense. Sending you after those treasures is the same as telling you to die."

Human Emperor continued, "Can you think of anything you can get? If not, try to think of a way to send some chaos origin out to me. Nobody will dare to approach this place for some time, so this is the perfect opportunity to smuggle something out."

"That won't be an issue." The other person said, "Your Majesty, did some new people enter the gate recently?"

"Yeah. All of them are enemies. Kill them if you can, but don't bother if you can't."

"No, Your Majesty. Someone from the Human Gate might have entered. Recently, something happened near the Splendid Jade Mountain. Even the Master of Chaos acted not long ago. I tried gathering information, but I didn't dare to ask too much. According to what I managed to gather, those inside the Human Gate are trying to get the Master of Chaos to leave in advance and throw the Myriad Realms into chaos. The Master of Chaos requested for Myriad Dao Stones as payment."

"Myriad Dao Stones?" Human Emperor dug into his memories for this term before asking, "Are you talking about the legendary stones born from the convergence of a myriad daos?"

"Maybe. But according to the rumors, these might be the leftover stones during Master of Time's creation..."

"How is that even possible?" Human Emperor said, "If there were really such stones, they would have been used up by now. Are there some left in the Human Gate? What's the point of keeping them around? So that someone can come around and snatch them?"

The other person said, "I'm unsure as well. I have no way of gathering information about the Human Gate."
