Chapter 2111: Everything I Did, I Did For You, Lord (2)

The old man frowned and said, "Blood Shadow, are you calling us all deserters?"

The cold youth said, "The masses will naturally have an answer to that. We are all deserters. What's the point of running from the truth? Of course, I agree that it was necessary since victory was hopeless. I wouldn't have followed His Majesty otherwise.

"But be clear about what you did. Do not play victim and treat everyone else as villains. Perhaps for you, we are heroes. But for the current humans, we are the ones who had abandoned them six thousand years ago.

"For six thousand years, they had nothing to rely upon. Over four hundred years ago, the myriad races were already filled with countless experts while humanity had yet to produce evven one Eternal.

"Eventually, some Eternals were produced. But they weren't able to produce any Daofuses because His Majesty blocked their path forward. Are we really going to blame them for befriending the myriad races? Are we really trying to make ourselves the enemies of humanity?

"You could have simply acknowledged that we have different pursuits. There is no need to throw slanders at others. Longbrow, I have always hated people like you."

Longbrow's aura started rising as he asked coldly, "Are you trying to shake the morale on our side?"

Blood Shadow replied, "Try saying that again? Shaking the morale of our people? We have been waiting for His Majesty for six thousand years. Are our faith so easily shaken? In that case, we might as well disband our group and give up. If His Majesty decides to listen to people like you, I will naturally leave. There won't be a need for you to tell me off.

"Longbrow, don't get too cocky just because you're now a so-called Venerable. Do you think you're so special? Back then, I disliked how His Majesty kept ass-kissing clowns like you around. Even now, I still dislike that. When Evergreen suggests something, there is no judgment. Meanwhile, you love handing out judgments whenever you give a suggestion. If you dare instigate His Majesty again, I'll let you have a taste of my blade."

Longbrow was furious.

Hundred Battle King glanced at them. Evergreen, Extreme Martial, Redmoon, Longbrow, and Blood Shadow. These were all powerful Venerables. They had all gained significantly from their many years of seclusion.

Of course, humanity had Venerables before this as well, but these Venerables had all died. Bing Ku was one of them. These were all newer Venerables.

Seeing that the situation was getting tense, Hundred Battle King frowned and said, "Enough. We are all brothers here. Are you not done fighting among yourselves even after so many years? Longbrow, I agree with Blood Shadow. Do not mention those things again."

Longbrow was so furious that even his brows started shaking. He said, "Your Majesty, you know that I'm not saying this for selfish reasons!"

Hundred Battle King nodded. He knew that.

He looked down and said, "Blood Shadow is right. Since I'm now their leader, there is no need for me to do all that. Those willing to stay may stay. Otherwise, they are free to go looking for Su Yu.

"Of course, I have to be honest about one thing. At present, I doubt Su Yu will accept any outsiders. If any of you are having second thoughts, think it through before doing anything."

He was being honest. Due to what happened with Cloud Water Marquis and the others, it was unlikely that Su Yu would accept any outsiders anytime soon. Nobody said anything. As time passed, more people emerged. This time, they were only heavenly kings.

That was followed by tier-two and tier-three Daofuses. The stronger ones would require more energy for their recovery, but they were also capable of a much faster absorption. Thus, they would recover faster than the others.

Eventually, everyone was done. There were forty-five of them. Including Southbrook, Cloud Water, Riversea, Shadow, and Mountain Mist, there were fifty of them. And including Hundred Battle King, there were fifty-one of them.

Even the weakest among them was a tier-three Daofuse. There were no tier-four or tier-five Daofuses among them. There were quite a lot of tier-three and tier-two Daofuses among them. The rest were heavenly kings or stronger.

This was the strength of Hundred Battle King's force, even excluding the primordial giants. If the primordial giants were included, Thunderstorm, the primordial giant Venerable from the Upper Realm could be counted as one of them as well. There were six Venerables in their camp, on top of a super expert like Hundred Battle King.

Taking a look at his people, Hundred Battle King smiled. "Not bad. All of you have grown decently. There are now five Venerables among you. We are definitely far stronger than before."

The number of people under him had decreased, but their overall strength had increased. The weaker Daofuses back then had either died or grown. This force of his was already formidable even compared to the various forces in the Upper Realm.

The myriad races had a large number of Daofuses. Control King's lineage was also filled with Daofuses. However, a single tier-three Daofuse was good enough to handle at least two tier-four or tier-five Daofuses at the same time.

He also had a decent number of tier-two Daofuses among them. Perhaps some would grow even stronger in the coming days.

Evergreen was overjoyed to see that as well. He said, "Your Majesty, the luck spirit..."

Hundred Battle King looked at them and said, "We will try to remove the restriction the moment we have ten Venerables."

They still needed to produce four Venerables to make that happen. However, Hundred Battle King had a feeling it wouldn't take long. A few of the heavenly kings under him were already near that level.

Ten of them.

This was something they wouldn’t have dreamed of back then.

But now, hope was right before them.

The myriad races had a large number of Venerables, but they weren't fully united. Also, they lacked an expert at Hundred Battle King's level. This was a worthy gain after six thousand years of waiting.

Suddenly, Longbrow said, "Your Majesty, will Su Yu ruin things for us? Down here, everyone knows about his conquest of the Lower Realm. The moment the Upper Realm opens, those up there will learn of this as well. They might decide to attack him first, but we still don't know the strength of his force."

How many experts did Su Yu have under him? None of them could say for sure. Riversea Marquis and the others had seen a part of Su Yu's strength in the Upper Realm, but nobody could guarantee that Su Yu had shown all his strength up there.

Hundred Battle King said, "It's fine. Ignore Su Yu for now. The myriad races and Control King's lineage have yet to start an all-out war against each other. We need to keep waiting."

"What about Yue Luo?"

Longbrow asked again.

Hundred Battle King smiled. "She's doing well. We have some plans playing out over there as well. Don't worry. Six thousand years ago, we were probably not good enough to fully defeat the myriad races. But we are strong enough to do that now."

Six thousand years ago, humanity seemed powerful. But the myriad races still had a lot of old fossils hidden away. A total confrontation against them was not a good idea at the time. But now, they had grown significantly.

Hundred Battle King himself had grown massively as well. Six thousand years ago, he was only comparable to that Ancestor in Control King's lineage. But now...he was certain he had surpassed that old man.

***

Hundred Battle King had amassed a large number of experts.

Three days later.

Su Yu had amassed a large number of experts as well.

Almost everyone under the level of heavenly kings had opted to fuse with his dao. Only those whose dao overlapped with someone else were forced to give up. Thus, it was fair to say that Su Yu's camp had also turned into a gathering of experts. The following were the heavenly kings under him:

Fat Ball, Soy Bun, Grand Dream, Great Zhou King, Wan Tiansheng, Lan Tian, Fate Pseudo Emperor, Royal Consort Qi, Cloud Fire Marquis, Flatbun, and September. Flatbun had advanced during the past two days through a fake dao contributed by Royal Consort Qi. As for September, he had grown further through February's dao inheritance.

They had also produced several fake heavenly kings, such as Great Qin King, Great Xia King, Grandstar, and Brave Martial General. Stable Army Marquis could have grown alongside them, but he pursued the spear dao as well. Thus, he was feeling quite depressed at the moment.

Great Qin King had taken Su Yu's spear dao. Thus, Stable Army Marquis was feeling terrible for missing such an opportunity. All in all, Su Yu had gathered an impressive group of experts under him.

However, he was still dissatisfied.

They were still lacking in Venerables. Fat Ball would probably be the first on their side to reach that level. Lan Tian had a high hope of reaching that level as well. As for Wan Tiansheng, the uncertainty was higher.

In truth, South Heavenly King would probably be the first if the dead were taken into consideration. It was almost guaranteed that she would become a Venerable the moment she returned to life.

Even if she couldn't keep cultivating the time dao, she could cultivate Su Yu's dao. In that situation, Su Yu estimated that she could probably grow into a Master of Law. Thus, his resurrection plan had increased in priority.

Su Yu had been preparing for that. He looked at Liu Hong, who had also been growing rapidly. However, he was probably still not enough to calm the death spirit dao during the resurrection.

Suddenly, Su Yu thought of Dragonblood Marquis. Perhaps the time for Dragonblood Marquis to do something had arrived, such as killing North Heavenly King before growing into a heavenly king, a Venerable, or even a Master of Law when it mattered.

As long as the timing was right, that person would be the one to calm the death spirit dao when Su Yu needed it. The end of Dragonblood Marquis' journey as the destiny child was nigh.

Su Yu had a large number of fake heavenly kings and fake tier-two Daofuses under him. Even outside his world, that was a bunch of tier-three Daofuses he could utilize. All thirty-one guardians who were still following him had also become Daofuses. This was quite a formidable force.

Additionally, Su Yu still had the Token of Sanctification as his trump card. It could play a big role when needed as well.

"In only a few days..."

Su Yu looked at everyone with surging emotions. This was a much stronger force than before, and the growth had happened in the span of several days.

Abruptly, he released the dao painting.

"Everyone, this is the dao painting. Some of you have observed it before. It doesn't matter. Your daos are no longer the same. Observe it again. I believe there is more to gain from it.

"I will take some time to make my preparations and resurrect some death spirits. In the meantime, all of you can cultivate here. I hope to see everyone becoming Venerables."

***

The moment the dao painting appeared, a state of comprehension descended on everyone, catching them all by surprise.

The past few days had been both enjoyable and torturous.

They enjoyed the seemingly endless opportunities to grow. Their comprehension of their daos had grown massively. But it was also a torture as they hadn't been given the chance to fully digest all their gains.

***

Su Yu did not stay for long.

Shortly after, he left with He Tu, Liu Hong, and a few others.

He Tu was both excited and nervous.

Resurrection!

He would be the first. He had been waiting for this, but when the moment arrived, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

While flying, Su Yu said, "Back then, Culture King had prepared the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone daos for resurrection. However, I'm following a different path. Since I am already a Creator, I might end up letting everyone resurrect in my world.

"Culture King might have completed his Creation back then as well, but he probably aimed to resurrect his target straight in the River of Time. That's a harder path. My path is easier in comparison.

"The difficult part of my method involves the removal of everyone from the death spirit dao while granting everyone life. Resurrection is never a trivial feat."

The others nodded. Liu Hong said with a heavy tone, "This won't be easy. I might be the issue here. Your Majesty, I can't promise I'll be able to suppress the death spirit dao. This dao is too powerful. I'm a mere tier-three Daofuse."

Su Yu nodded, "I know that. Therefore, someone will be assisting you with it."

Who? Liu Hong grew curious. South Heavenly King? But it would still be difficult. Furthermore, South Heavenly King was already a part of that dao. It would be unwise to have her go against the dao.

Su Yu did not explain. After a while, he looked at the others and said, "Head over to the research center. I need to ask something."

He Tu and the others followed Su Yu’s gaze. Before them was the most unique scenery in the Death Realm. A lone, ancient castle that had been around for countless years.

It survived Human Emperor's era. It continued to exist during Emperor Yu's era. Even when Su Yu was pacifying the Death Realm, it had been left alone.

He Tu smiled and said, "Sure. Have a nice chat with Xing Yue. We'll head over to the research center."
