Chapter 2107: Milking The River Of Time (1)

Su Yu did not bother to meet Hundred Battle King face to face. That was not necessary.

The current situation alligned with what he wanted. Even though they had only conversed from afar, Su Yu could feel that Hundred Battle King was not as terrible as he had originally speculated.

However, it was clear that the two had different ideologies. Six thousand years ago, Hundred Battle King had opted to fake his defeat even when he had the entire humanity to protect. That was not something Su Yu could accept.

Yes, Su Yu had once thought of doing the same. But the difference was that he didn't use to have humanity's support. It was only natural for him to stay away from them when he was unwanted.

By the time he started involving himself in the affairs of humanity, he knew that he couldn't abandon them anymore.

***

The three returned to the Celestial Chasm Realm.

Once again, Su Yu gathered everyone up.

Celestial Chasm Realm.

Grand Dream City.

Grand Dream City had turned into Su Yu's temporary royal palace. Of course, this wasn't something he cared too much about. He only picked a bigger place to make it easier for everyone to find him when he was needed.

A large number of people arrived at the mayor's residence.

When everyone arrived, Su Yu went straight to the point. "Great Xia King and Great Qin King have decided to fuse with my dao and cultivate my cosmic civilization dao alongside me. I believe everyone here is aware of the pros and cons to that. There is no need for further explanation from me.

"Today, the two of them will proceed to do so. Anyone interested is invited to observe the process."

Hearing that, numerous people exchanged gazes.

Heavendoom, who had been feeling quite down recently, asked, "Your Majesty, will cultivating your dao make us stronger?"

Su Yu answered, "That's possible for those below heavenly king. I don't suggest those stronger do this as well."

At Su Yu's current strength, he couldn't support the existence of those beyond heavenly king. Even if one somehow reached the level of a Venerable while cultivating his dao, they would still possess the combat strength of a proper heavenly king.

Heavendoom was tempted. He was already a tier-three Daofuse, but he wouldn't be able to grow further anytime soon. Thus, Su Yu's dao still proved quite attractive to him. However, everyone knew the cons of cultivating his dao.

Su Yu's dao was too weak. It was not as stable as the time dao and death spirit dao. The moment something happened to Su Yu, the dao might collapse. And Su Yu was still quite vulnerable. There were still plenty of people out there capable of killing Su Yu.

Everyone was deep in thought, but Su Yu did not bother promoting his dao to them. He would be happy to see them cultivate and help grow his dao. But he did not want to bind everyone so tightly to him.

Yes, they would be bound to him upon cultivating his dao. But he, too, would end up bound to them. He had to take responsibility for them, and at one point, he would no longer be able to afford a defeat, as a single defeat might result in their total annihilation.

***

Su Yu did not wait for everyone to reach a decision. He looked at Heavenbridge Marquis. The smart Heavenbridge Marquis instantly understood what to do and manifested a gate. It was a gate leading straight to the chaotic space.

Su Yu stood up and said, "Great Xia King, Great Qin King. Let's go. As for the others, maybe observe before making your decision. This is our first display of the fusion of different daos. To make it more special, we're fusing real daos into fake daos."

Su Yu was calling his own dao fake. That was because he knew that his dao was nothing compared to the River of Time.

Great Qin King and Great Xia King followed behind him. As for the others, they started following one after another as well. No matter what, they could make their choice after some observation.

***

Edge of chaos.

Su Yu's world was still there.

It was visible from afar.

A tiny world had appeared between the Origin Land and chaotic space. It had grown slightly from before. However, the growth wasn't. It was probably smaller than even a palace. Inside, a few individuals were comprehending the fake daos of the world.

The indistinct figure of the human lord's token could be seen floating in the sky. Without saying anything, Su Yu waved his hand and opened it up, revealing countless Lan Tians inside.

After tossing something into it, he shut the token up again. He had tossed the ten thousand characters left by Culture King.

***

Inside the human lord's token.

Lan Tian's eyes snapped open as he reached out to grab the ball of light before him. The moment he focused, his eyes flickered.

Character.

Countless characters from different daos.

No explanation was needed. He instantly understood what Su Yu wanted him to do. He looked into the depths of the token. There, countless strands of dao could be seen.

Lan Tian stared in silence.

These characters would be useful for Su Yu as well. After all, they both walked the path of myriad daos.

"Ten thousand characters..."

Lan Tian muttered to himself. It was a taboo to owe too many favors when pursuing the dao. And now, the favor he owed Su Yu was starting to accumulate.

What now?

Should he accept this offer?

Previously, he had suffered dao injury while helping Su Yu. Thus, he had been allowed to cultivate inside the human lord's token. And now, Su Yu had gathered ten thousand characters for him. These characters could not only heal his dao injury. They could even push him further in his path of cultivation.

"Sigh."

A helpless yet joyful sigh rang out. Perhaps this was what it meant to be a fellow daoist. To assist each other while pursuing the dao.

"So be it. What's the point of overthinking this?"

Lan Tian grinned as his entire presence turned carefree. His entanglements with Su Yu had grown deeper.

"In that case, I might as well accept this gift."

With a thought from him, ten thousand characters floated into the air. To the front was the foundation of Su Yu's myriad daos.

With a teasing smile on his face, Lan Tian said, "Since you don't wish to be a thief, allow me to help you with it. Let's go further on the path of theft."

Each character moved forth to face a different clone. All these clones looked rather weak. All of the clones opened their mouths and swallowed the characters before them. After taking a moment to digest the power inside the characters, the clones stepped forth and looked for the corresponding daos within the token. This took some time as well.

And finally, a connection formed between all these clones and a youthful Lan Tian. Then, the youthful Lan Tian released his dao power. A tiny fluctuation from the River of Time spread into Su Yu's dao with Lan Tian as the intermediary.

Yes. This was also a form of theft. Theft from the River of Time. It could also be considered a form of fusion. Lan Tian had yet to free himself from the River of Time. Thus, he could serve as an intermediary between the river and Su Yu's dao.

This was different from how the death spirit dao and Human Emperor's dao. The two daos in question were directly connected to the River of Time. Meanwhile, Su Yu clearly didn't want a direct connection to the river. Thus, Lan Tian had decided to become the intermediary for him.

The moment an issue arose, he could simply sever the connection to turn Su Yu's dao into an independent dao once again. Two different powers rose from Lan Tian's body.

Black and white interwove. One came from Su Yu, and the other came from the River of Time. The two powers proceeded to mix with each other inside his body before flowing into Su Yu's dao.

The countless Lan Tians looked up at the sky with a wide smile. When cultivating the dao, one should follow one's heart. He was following his heart. He was doing exactly what he wanted. He did not owe anyone anything.

Wang Hu (Silk Destroying King) did not count. That stupid guy volunteered as his victim, so he couldn't be blamed. Lan Tian had never wronged anyone. And he was confident that humanity would achieve victory in the tenth epoch.

***

Chaotic space.

Not long after Su Yu tossed the ten thousand characters inside the token, his aura started surging.

In his vision, the myriad daos in his world had suddenly received an infusion of energy. However, no chaos power was involved. At the same time, the unique imprint of the time dao was not present in the incoming energy either.

Instantly, Su Yu understood what was happening.

It was Lan Tian.

Once again, Lan Tian had turned himself into a filter. This time, he was acting as a filter between Su Yu's dao and the River of Time.

Slowly, the myriad daos in Su Yu's world grew. The increase in strength wasn't too obvious, but the world became more abundant with energy. The biggest benefit this brought him was his ability to last longer in battles. His recovery speed had increased as well.

Prior to this, he had to slowly convert chaos power into his dao power. But Lan Tian had taken on the role for him, extracting directly from the River of Time to replenish his dao. With Lan Tian acting as a filter, there wasn't even a worry that Su Yu's dao would be assimilated by the River of Time.

Su Yu's eyes flickered.

Lan Tian.

Su Yu did not stop Lan Tian. For Lan Tian, there were pros and cons to doing this. It would definitely be a painful experience. Furthermore, the clash between two different dao systems might cause a collapse of Lan Tian's dao if he were careless.

However, he could also take this chance to deeply comprehend two different dao systems. None of them bothered to say anything. At their level, talks were pointless. Deep inside, they understood what the other was thinking.

Su Yu glanced at Great Qin King and Great Xia King.

With Su Yu's gaze on him, Great Qin King nodded and flashed his stiff smile, "You may start now, Your Majesty."

Su Yu nodded. He looked at Royal Consort Qi and said, "Royal Consort Qi, you have experience with the fusion of different daos before. This is my first time doing this. If you see anything wrong, please don't hesitate to tell me about it. Let's make this as perfect as possible."

At present, Royal Consort Qi was no longer a skeletal figure. She had recovered well, regaining her noble appearance and regal bearing. At the same time, she even emanated a dignified presence, one that only those in power would have.

But the moment Su Yu's gaze landed on her, her entire bearing changed into that of a regular person as she withdrew her pride and arrogance. She solemnly said, "Don't worry. I'll certainly help when it is needed."

"Thank you."

Then, Great Xia King and Great QIn King flew into Su Yu's world. Instantly, they released their dao powers. The powers of saber and spear caused the tiny world to shake.

A saber and spear manifested in the sky. This was Su Yu's world. Thus, it was only natural that he had the ability to manifest the daos within it. Unlike the Myriad Realms, there were only one saber and spear daos in his world.

"Grasp the saber and spear."

At that, the two soared into the sky. Great Xia King grapsed the saber and Great Qin King grasped the spear.

"Take them inside."

The two did not hesitate and did as told. The instant they took the weapons into their bodies, a rumble rang out. A saber and a spear emerged from their respective bodies.

The different dao powers started clashing.

After all, they were different.
