Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 1045: Past And Future Bodies (3)

While Su Yu was casually roaming the city.

The various realms were still feeling the shock from that incident. The impact of Su Yu's so-called death was too massive.

Border of human territory.

Great Qin King looked at Great Zhou King for a long while and asked, "Your divination is quite accurate. But he did not seem to have killed anyone this time. Is he really dead?"

"As I said, that was only one among numerous possibilities."

Great Zhou King shook his head. He did not know if Su Yu was still alive.

According to the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion, Su Yu had likely converted into a resident. Of course, he might really be dead. During the battle between Invincibles, numerous buildings were destroyed alongside the people inside. Even if Su Yu had converted into a resident, he might have died inside one of those buildings.

Without his name on the index, it was too hard to determine if he was still alive.

Great Zhou King suggested, "Maybe we should take a drop of blood from Su Long. The blood might help us determine if he's still alive."

Great Qin King gave Great Zhou King a deep look and said, "There's no need for that. Dead or alive, that's his fate. It has nothing to do with us."

With Su Long's blood, it would be far too easy for some people to do something bad with it. For example, they might use the blood to track Su Yu. There was no need for them to determine Su Yu's status immediately.

Great Qin King looked into the far distance. Several figures appeared in his vision. All of them were Invincibles. He observed silently.

The Invincibles of the various races had suffered some losses from this incident. Excluding the two human Invincibles, ten Invincibles had appeared during the incident. In the end, almost all of them were injured. Some had even lost their past and future bodies.

Losing one's future body was not as terrible as losing one's past body. In that situation, if one didn't fuse with another past body in due time, one might end up dying.

Very good. This would slightly reduce the pressure on the human race. The weakening of their enemies in terms of Invincibles would only benefit humanity.

As for Great Ming King and Great Xia King, he wasn't too worried about them. Those two were very strong. If they joined hands and fought seriously, even a Pseudo Emperor might not be able to defeat them easily.

A lot of Invincibles might have participated in the incident, but they hadn't been fighting to the death. Thus, those two were probably in decent condition. Both of them were strong enough to fight two Invincibles alone. Even if there were only two of them, they might still be able to survive the onslaught of four or five Invincibles.

After a long while, Great Qin King said, "If we had deployed a few more Eternals over, we might have been able to kill a few Eternals."

Great Zhou King said, "This dilemma we're in can't be solved with the loss of a few Invincibles."

At that, Great Qin King stared at Great Zhou King coldly and said, "That's better than doing nothing. Today, they can kill Su Yu. Tomorrow, they can kill Zhou Potian. The day after, they can kill Xia Longwu."

"Su Yu...is different." Great Zhou King said, "I don't want him dead either. None of us wants him dead. He was the one who had carried out the scam. If he had remained in the Human Realm, we wouldn't have given up on him totally even if there were no willingness to fight for him. Knowing that the multiple character faction is feared by the myriad races, he insisted on provoking them. What could we have done?"

Great Qin King sank into silence.

At times, right or wrong wasn't so easy to determine. If Su Yu had remained in the Human Realm, the myriad races wouldn't have been able to send Invincibles after him. But Su Yu had decided to enter the Allheaven Battlefield. The moment he stepped into the Allheaven Battlefield, he could either kill or be killed. He had nobody but himself to blame if he ended up dying out here.

At the same time.

Great Xia City.

Wan Tiansheng wasn't too emotional about it. He merely sighed, "So he has converted into a resident..."

He did not think that Su Yu was dead. He would be able to sense it if that was the case. In that situation, the only way for Su Yu's name to be removed from the Heavenly Hunt Index was by converting into a resident. How crazy. Not even Wan Tiansheng had seen that coming.

Could he still leave the ancient city after becoming a resident? The growth of death qi would increase massively the moment a resident stepped out of an ancient city. Each resident would be forced to return quickly to avoid death.

Every resident was basically a puppet of the ancient city they were bound to. How big of a blow was this to Su Yu?

Wan Tiansheng sighed. Was the future he saw inaccurate? He was sure of what he saw. But...what now? Was everything he saw after sacrificing a hundred years of lifespan completely inaccurate? n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Could Su Yu still return to the Human Realm? Was the future he saw merely an unrealistic dream?

Wan Tiansheng leaned back weakly on his chair. But there were still pros and cons to this incident. At the very least, with the injuries of those Invincibles, they would remain in seclusion for a period of time.

But Great Xia King had also been forced to draw his blade, incurring the wrath of some people in the process. That included the races that had been neutral prior to this.

For example, the nether race had stayed silent about issues concerning humanity. But the actions of Great Xia King and Great Ming King had nearly caused the death of a nether Invincible. What would the nether race do after that?

Wan Tiansheng shook his head and decided to stop thinking about it. That wasn't necessarily a bad thing. With this incident, everyone's attention would return to Great Xia once again. Su Yu would no longer steal everyone's attention.

At the same time, Zhu Tiandao was gasping in shock in Great Ming.

"How crazy. How did he provoke so many Invincibles into action?"

He looked at Niu Baidao and said, "Do you think Xia Longwu will be attacked by so many Invincibles as well during his dao affirmation?"

Niu Baidao thought about it and nodded, "Yes. But he will also be protected by human Invincibles. At most, only one enemy Invincible will be able to actually reach Xia Longwu..."

As for Su Yu, he did not seek the help of any human Invincible. He alone had provoked about a dozen Invincible into action. Amazing.

The two did not appear to be too sad. Zhu Tiandao said confidently, "That kid is not dead yet. He has probably converted into a resident."

Niu Baidao nodded in agreement, "Yeah. A walking disaster like him tends to live for a very long time. Also, there are no reports of heavenly rewards appearing. Killing someone like him would definitely generate a massive heavenly reward for the killer. Since something like that did not appear, it's unlikely for him to be dead."

They were very confident in their judgment. It was very unlikely for Su Yu to be dead. Nevertheless, that kid would still be in great trouble. After becoming a resident, he might not be able to return to the Human Realm anymore.

It wasn't like no human had ever become a resident before. A resident would not be able to leave the city for long. In a day or two, one would start having trouble. The more resistant ones might be able to last as long as one month, but not longer than that. From then on, Su Yu would be bound to the city.

Zhu Tiandao sighed, "I invested massively in that kid. But...he actually went and became a resident. Can he create yet another miracle?"

Niu Baidao had no answer to that. He couldn't see how things would end with this development.

The two looked at each other in dismay. After a while, Niu Baidao finally lost his temper and cursed, "Damn it! That damn brat promised that he was only going out to gather some heavenly source qi from his secret ruin. That damn unreliable shit-stirrer. How did he stir so much shit that more than ten Invincibles were stirred into battle? Nobody has ever done something like this in the past fifty years."

He felt extremely helpless. Wasn't the kid supposed to go out, grab some stuff, and return? What had the kid done instead? The kid had been running wild. The kid had embodied the true meaning of being a free spirit.

The kid was only supposed to disguise himself as Cui Lang, not fully embracing the art of being a free spirit. After stirring himself to the top of the Heaven Index, the kid was not satisfied. He continued stirring, and finally, it backfired on him.

Sigh.

Niu Baidao said, "If we're out of options, I can take a trip there. Maybe I can find him in Grandstar City..."

"It's too hard."

Zhu Tiandao shook his head, "Even if he's still alive, he's already a resident. He can hide from almost anyone except Invincibles as a resident in the city. But after the recent incident, no Invincibles will try to enter any ancient city anymore for quite some time."

Basically, nobody would be able to see through Su Yu's disguise anymore. Why? Because the only people capable of doing so would no longer have the courage to even enter the city. How could anyone else find him?

Niu Baidao sighed, "I can still give it a try. Maybe the kid will show up after noticing me. I need to take a look myself to be sure. Sigh. How troublesome. Why can't things proceed smoothly?"

Zhu Tiandao shook his head, "A true freak will not emerge from a completely smooth life."

Niu Baidao looked at the prefect and asked, "Haven't your life been pretty smooth?"

"Me?" Zhu Tiandao laughed, "What are you talking about? How is my life smooth?"

Niu Baidao couldn't even be bothered to argue. Back in his youth, the prefect had traveled the Allheaven Battlefield with his father as the bodyguard. Was that not smooth enough?

Ultimately, Niu Baidao decided to leave for Su Yu. Before leaving, he said, "Have you caught your past or future body?"

"What?" Zhu Tiandao asked in astonishment, "I'm only an early ninth-stage Sunmoon. How am I supposed to do that?"

What an odd question. Was Old Niu going senile again?

"..."

Niu Baidao was tired of this act. He cursed inwardly and said, "After returning from this trip, I'll try to capture my past or future body. But I need some treasures capable of bearing my past and future bodies. Do you have something like that? If not, I'll use the Hundred Dao Pagoda as my carrier treasure..."

Zhu Tiandao hurriedly protested, "No, no, no! That thing is too important for the foundation of Great Ming..."

Niu Baidao said, "Oh, as long as it's not your carrier treasure, it's fine. I thought you have been waiting to use it as your own carrier treasure..."

"..."

Zhu Tiandao couldn't even be bothered to respond. Niu Baidao continued, "By the way, what is your carrier treasure carrying? Your past? Or your future? The past body might be important, but it won't increase your strength by much. The future body is much more helpful in terms of strength. When required, it might even enable you to put up a fight against Invincibles."

Zhu Tiandao stared at Niu Baidao silently. Why was this fellow insisting on asking those stupid questions? How was he supposed to know?

He threatened inwardly that if this fellow continued asking these stupid questions, he would need to give this geezer a beating.

This damn geezer was getting more and more annoying.
