Tribulation of Myriad Races

"Should I hire a super expert to act as my guard for a bit?" But even a ninth-stage Sunmoon would not be a match for that mayor inside this city, right?

After a long hesitation, Su Yu clenched his teeth and decided to just do it. The mayor was the most powerful individual in the city. Perhaps he would not be able to leave the city even with the gates open if he kept refusing to the mayor. He had to find a way to leave before the arrival of the myriad race experts.

A short while later, Su Yu walked out of the building and waited outside for a bit. Surprisingly, no death spirits were heading over to kill him. He decided to stop waiting. Since he could transform back into a death spirit at any time, he didn\'t need to be too wary of the death spirits.

He walked to the mayor\'s residence and stood before the gate. There, he announced his arrival loudly, "Adopted great-grandson of Great Xia King, adopted great-grandson of Great Ming King, disciple of Silk Destroying King, unofficial disciple of Heavenly Forge King, Su Yu, is requesting an audience with the mayor."

"..."

His voice was loud. It spread everywhere. Some of the people in the city had the urge to leave their buildings, but they ultimately held back. The mayor\'s residence sank into a sudden silence.

All the experts hiding all over the city went stiff. Was...Su Yu seeking an audience with the mayor?

No, that wasn\'t the point.

More importantly, his collection of titles...seemed rather terrifying. He was related to four kings? Since when did he become the adopted great-grandson of Great Xia King and Great Ming King? Since when was he the disciple of Silk Destroying King and Heavenly Forge King?

Meanwhile, Su Yu was fully convinced he was not lying. He once told Xia Huyou that Xia Huyou\'s grandpa would be his grandpa. In that case, Xia Huyou\'s great-grandpa would naturally be his great-grandpa as well.

He had said something similar to Zhu Hongliang in Great Ming as well. In fact, Zhu Tiandao had been trying to become his grandfather-in-law. Thus, Great Ming King was as good as his great-grandpa.

As for his relationship with the Silk Destroying King, wasn\'t the Time technique the best proof of that?

And there was also the Heavenly Forge King. The weaponsmithing legacy in the Hundred Dao Pagoda was essentially his legacy. Thus, Su Yu was absolutely not lying. He had indeed learned from Heavenly Forge King. He believed that not even the four kings could deny that logic of his.

Since he was related to four kings, he should be able to get some respect from the mayor, right?

***

Inside a certain ancient building.

Qin Fang was rubbing his chin while resisting the urge to laugh. Su Yu...what an interesting individual.

***

Inside the mayor\'s residence.

Tian He, who was busy drinking liquor as usual, blanked out slightly. He placed his wine glass down and laughed in amusement.

"Open the gate."

"Lord!" The old man appeared and said, "There are a lot of troubles surrounding Su Yu. It\'s not a good idea to meet him."

"Open the gate." Tian He laughed, "This is too interesting. Is he trying to use the names of four human Eternals to scare me? How interesting."

Even the stone statue was amused, to the point his eyes were open yet again. In fact, he hadn\'t been able to keep his eyes shut for long throughout the day. What was that? Four Eternals? Related to him? Was the brat sure about that?

***

Due to his amusement, Tian He decided to meet the super troublemaker known as Su Yu. Yes. At this point, he had finally reached the conclusion that Su Yu was the culprit behind the chaos.

It was rather impressive for that brat to remain alive after killing so many death spirits. Furthermore, he was actually appearing out in the open. Was he not worried that the Sunmoon death spirits would appear and kill him?

The Sunmoon death spirits were still somewhere in the city. They had yet to leave. But they had not attempted to kill Su Yu after his appearance despite the fact that he was revealing his own aura.

There were many reasons for that, and the little furball\'s existence was one of the reasons. Even after leaving the building, the little furball still carried traces of the stone statue\'s aura on him. Both Su Yu and the little furball were completely unaware of that.

Nevertheless, Su Yu was not too worried about the death spirits. He was prepared to transform back into a death spirit at a moment\'s notice. This action of his was risky, but it was a risk he had to take.

Slowly, the gate swung open. A familiar face appeared behind the gate.

Commander Tian Men. That was the same Mountainsea guard he met when he first arrived at the city.

Tian Men was looking at Su Yu with an odd gaze as he said, "The mayor is waiting for you inside."

"Thank you!"

Su Yu smiled. He wasn\'t surprised that the mayor would be willing to meet him. He only hoped that the mayor wouldn\'t attack during their meeting. This was merely a gamble on his part. So many people had heard his declaration. Even if he wasn\'t actually related to the four Invincibles, the mayor still needed to show some restraint to avoid giving the impression that he was disrespecting the four Invincibles, right?

Sure, this little insurance Su Yu bought himself was a fragile one, but insurance was still insurance.

At the same time, Su Yu also made a ruthless decision. If the worst happened, he would pinch the little furball to death and lure the big furball over. That way, even if he had to die, he would also be able to drag everyone down with him. Inside his sea of willpower, the little furball was trembling with fear. He was able to clearly sense Su Yu\'s intention. Or to be precise, he could see it. After all, a miniature Su Yu had appeared in there. With a hammer in hand, the miniature Su Yu was on standby to attack at a moment\'s notice.

Sprawled lazily atop a character, the little furball licked the character to console himself. Then, he made a ruthless decision as well. Before his death, he would eat this character! It smelled so nice!

If he had to die, he would die with a full stomach!

Su Yu followed behind the Mountainsea guard. While walking, he said, "Thanks for the reminder you gave me previously, Commander."

"You\'re welcome." Tian Men said, "What a surprise that you\'re really Su Yu."

"I have no choice but to hide my identity." Su Yu laughed, "Commander, is the mayor easy to speak with?"

Tian Men indifferently said, "He\'s fine."

"I\'m glad to hear that. The mayor is wise and valiant. I believe he\'s definitely amiable and approachable."

Tian Men had an odd expression as he heard that. This was the most shameless young genius he had ever met. They were near enough that the mayor could hear what they were saying. Clearly, Su Yu\'s intended recipient was the mayor, not him.

Su Yu said, "Commander Tian Men, is the mayor capable of opening the nine gates in this situation? Too many people are trying to kill me. If I remain in the city, everyone will misunderstand that the mayor is protecting me. What if all my enemies decide to attack the city? That will only bring trouble to the great mayor."

Tian Men was left completely speechless. That made too much sense. He couldn\'t find a retort.

Su Yu said, "By the way, the human race has sent a large number of experts to save me. If a battle between all those experts erupts inside the city, it will only bring trouble to the great mayor."

Tian Men remained silent. That made a lot of sense as well. Well, the brat should tell the mayor himself. Of all the young geniuses Tian Men had seen, this human here was quite a unique one. Then again, all of these young geniuses were unique.

A short while later, they arrived at a massive hall. There were only two individuals in the hall. Seated on the throne was the mayor while an old man with white hair stood slightly below the throne.

"Lord, Su Yu is here."

The mayor nonchalantly took a sip from the wine glass he was holding. He was clad in a white outfit, with his long hair cascading down his shoulders. He did not show any unique characteristics, making it impossible for Su Yu to determine the race he was from. But Su Yu could feel the death qi on the mayor.

The death qi on the mayor was incredibly dense, to the point it felt as dense as what those Sunmoon death spirits were emitting.

"Greetings, Lord Mayor."

Su Yu gave a respectful bow.

After taking another sip from his wine glass, the mayor said, "Adopted great-grandson of Great Xia King and Great Ming King?"

"Yes."

"Disciple of Silk Destroying King and Heavenly Forge King?"

"Yes."

"In that case, why are you in such a desperate situation?"

Su Yu calmly answered, "I don\'t think so. Any expert needs to climb to the top one step at a time. Without suffering, how can one hope to reach the top? I dare say that I\'m rising at a speed that can astonish all realms in existence. I believe that is what those Invincibles wish to see from me."

"Are you trying to leave?"

Su Yu lowered his head and said, "Yes. If I remain, the experts of numerous races will be here. Soon, Heavendoom City will become the center of attention and the battlefield of myriad races. Perhaps even Invincibles will start fighting here."

"You\'re very confident."

Tian He smiled, "Which Invincible will actually fight for you?"

Tian He spoke without holding back, "The multiple character faction is the focus of the myriad races. The human race has given up on the multiple character faction. That is the only option if humanity does not wish to become an enemy of all races. That is the only way for the human race to preserve a tiny bit of its status and power. You should know this well. Tell me. Which Invincible will fight for you?

"Back then, Ye Batian was the hope of humanity. Human Invincibles fought for him, but he disappointed everyone and plunged humanity into despair. Do you think humanity will fight the myriad races again for a second Ye Batian?"

Su Yu solemnly declared, "I am not Ye Batian. Nor am I the second Ye Batian. I don\'t know if the human Invincibles will be willing to fight for me. Perhaps...you know the answer better than me."

Was the mayor so sure that the human Invincibles wouldn\'t fight for him? Was the mayor so sure that nobody in the human race wished to see the multiple character faction rise?

No.

A lot of people wished to see the multiple character faction rise once again. They had merely been hiding their feelings due to the stance adopted by the myriad races.

Su Yu believed in that firmly. Otherwise, the multiple character faction would have been fully wiped out long ago.

Tian He laughed, "Perhaps...you\'re right. Take a seat."

Su Yu was just about to say something when a cushion appeared under him. He cursed inwardly, but he quickly forced his mind to calm down. Sunmoons were very sensitive. He shouldn\'t think too much in the presence of one.

He did not hesitate to sit down. After sitting down, he raised his head to look at the mayor again. The mayor looked incredibly young, and he maintained the appearance of a human. Ignoring the thick death qi on him, he actually looked quite scholarly.

"A drink?"

Mayor Tian He offered with a smile. A wine glass appeared out of thin air, and wine started pouring out of thin air to fill the glass. Then, the glass floated toward Su Yu.

Su Yu accepted the glass. The wine in the glass was emanating waves of thick death qi.
