Su Yu inhaled deeply. Interesting. Heavendoom clearly knew a lot of secrets as well. There seemed to be a taboo here, making it impossible for him to say things clearly. He could only transmit the information indirectly. Su Yu exhaled, cupped his fists, and said, "Thank you, Lord. I understand." "Good. I want ten more days. At the very least, I want more days than Grandstar." Su Yu laughed in amusement. Freedom was clearly very tempting for Heavendoom. "Sure. I'll prioritize you, Lord." "Good. You may now scram. Wait, leave the food behind." Su Yu rolled his eyes and took out the food and wine again. Then, he transformed back into Grandstar and left. With Su Yu gone, Heavendoom returned to his fleshy form and started enjoying the feast again. While eating, he muttered, "Finally. It's finally time to fight. Well, I'll need to eat well before that. A hundred thousand years have passed..." He looked outside. It had been a hundred thousand years. He was tired of this. At the thought of the laws, a furious glint flickered in his eyes. Fuck the laws. One day, he would smash the laws apart. He did not want to do this anymore. Su Yu was a lot more ruthless than He Tu. Heavendoom could only bet on Su Yu's ruthlessness, hoping that Su Yu could kill enough to overturn the world itself and shatter the laws. Heavendoom was tired of the laws. Grandstar and the others cared about the laws a lot, but Heavendoom was different. He wanted to leave the city. It had been a hundred thousand years. "I'll smash all of you apart with my staff!" Heavendoom started laughing. Su Yu better be ruthless enough. He needed enough ruthlessness to wage a massive war and overturn the world. He had to be ruthless enough to lure all those old fossils out and kill them all. Just then, an indistinct voice rang out, "Heavendoom, what did you and Su Yu talk about earlier?" "No." Heavendoom said, "Boss, I did nothing! I only told him to obey the laws when fighting. I warned him that us guardians won't go against the laws to help him. We won't fight outside the city unless the holy cities are attacked." The old turtle said, "Heavendoom, you need to understand that you don't represent only yourself. You represent your fellow brothers and sisters as well. If you provoke the laws just to satisfy yourself..." At that, a furious glint appeared in Heavendoom's eyes as he said, "I understand, Boss. I would have killed my way out during the first epoch if it weren't for our brothers and sisters. I have been patient. And it's now the tenth epoch." Seemingly having sensed something, the old turtle asked, "Are you planning something?" After a short silence, Heavendoom gnashed his teeth and said, "I really don't have any plan in specific. I only plan to have a talk with Su Yu. Perhaps he can get a high-degree Eternal from the human race to replace me here, while I can go out and kill for him. What do you think of this?" Heavendoom snorted gloomily and said, "Forget it. This is so annoying." He lost his mood to even eat anymore. He shut all incoming voices and transformed back into a still stone statue, resuming his duty above the death tunnel like he were dead. The old turtle sighed helplessly. They were all starting to lose patience. It had been a hundred thousand years. It wasn't that bad for him, but Empyrean Cloud was losing patience. Heavendoom was losing patience. Grandstar was losing patience as well. During the first epoch, they were far less enthusiastic in helping He Tu even if He Tu could withstand the burden for them as well. All of them had only helped him in a halfhearted manner. At the time, the guardians appeared quite carefree. After all, the first epoch wasn't that far from the ancient past. It had only been about a thousand years. People like them were still hopeful that order would be restored. They were still waiting for the Human Emperor, Culture King, and Martial King to return. They were still waiting to be relieved from their posts. But a hundred thousand years later, some were starting to lose patience. They had all accepted that the ancient past was no more. Only the laws remained, serving as the prison for them. Their strength had stagnated. Heavendoom was already near Daofuse during the ancient past. But after a hundred thousand years, his cultivation was still the same. He was living the life of a hopeless prisoner. And thus, when Su Yu appeared, he received an entirely different treatment than He Tu. For him, Grandstar had entered the Human Realm and killed several Invincibles in secret. For him, Empyrean Cloud and Heavendoom had ignored the heavenly laws and fought with their cities, nearly suffering from the punishment of the laws. None of that would have happened a hundred thousand years ago. At the time, they still believed that the disorder was temporary. Some of their old friends were still around. They would still spend time talking to each other about the future, about what they would do upon being relieved from their duty. But as epoch after epoch passed, their old friends were gone one after another. Eventually, the guardians started shutting themselves from the world around them. Their dreams and hopes were no more. Everyone saw Grandstar entering a different ancient city. The eyes of the distant Invincibles flickered as one of them said, "What are these guardians doing? Are they really fighting everyone for the sake of Su Yu?" "There is nothing to fear about that. Unless they wish to die, they won't be able to leave their cities for long." "I'm only worried that they will ignore the laws like what they did previously." "That was an accident. And only one of them did that. We only relented out of respect for the old turtle since we didn't want to fight as well. If all the guardians really went against the laws, we only needed to retreat for a bit. The laws would kill them all." "Don't worry about them. They won't do anything stupid unless they all want to die." "I'm worried about the Death Realm." "Don't worry about that as well. The laws are still around. The death spirits won't be able to do much. Su Yu is the main concern here. We only need to eliminate Su Yu and all the guardians will give up." "Are you sure Su Yu is in the mansion?" "We were uncertain previously, but we're now sure. Grandstar is definitely leaving his city through a unique trick. They are probably panicking after realizing that Su Yu's whereabouts have leaked. Just wait." The myriad race Invincibles continued discussing among themselves. In the human encampment. Great Xia King frowned and said, "Why is Grandstar running around ? Isn't this the same as telling everyone that he's panicking because Su Yu is in the mansion?" It had been a hundred thousand years. Couldn't these guardians learn some patience? Why were they panicking? Even if they were panicking, they should not be moving around . These guardians could communicate with each other without any physical movement. What was the point of all these movements? Great Ming King, who was disguised as Great Zhou King, also looked at Grandstar with a frown. A few human experts had arrived as well. Great Han King, Great Tang King, Great Shang King, Great Song King, and Silk Destroying King had all arrived. Including Great Xia King and Great Ming King, there were seven of them here. The other human Invincibles were looking at Grandstar as well. Great Han King, Great Song King, and Silk Destroying King had an odd sensation, as though there was a link between Grandstar and them. They couldn't say for sure. Su Yu had formed their characters. When he was near, they should be able to sense him clearly. But since Su Yu had grown much stronger than before, they couldn't sense him that well anymore. Sure, his willpower was still weaker than theirs, but not by much. After opening 360 apertures and pushing his characters to the Sunmoon Realm, Su Yu had grown much better at shrouding his sea of willpower. Thus, the human Invincibles could only feel a weak connection between them. They only looked at Grandstar briefly before moving their gazes away lest Grandstar took their gazes as a form of provocation. Hearing Great Xia King's words, Great Ming King said, "Be calm. We still don't know anything about the situation inside. They should be coming out tomorrow, but we don't even know if that's still possible with the collapsed tunnels." Great Xia King exhaled and hoped that everything would be fine. But it seemed unlikely that his hope would be fulfilled. More and more Invincibles had arrived outside the mansion, including more than ten immortal kings. The various races had suffered massive losses as of late. That was especially true for the immortals as they were clear that all five of their immortal kings had perished in the mansion. Prior to this, they had also lost some during Xia Longwu's dao affirmation. Some had also lost some tri-life bodies. They had been building strength for so many years, yet they had suffered so heavily at the beginning of the tenth epoch. They couldn't allow this to continue as things would grow dangerous for them. With their repeated losses, their status among the myriad races was starting to drop. If the human race were to suffer similar losses, they could already be facing the threat of extinction. Meanwhile, the immortal race was only facing the threat of having their status drop. One ought to admit that the immortal race was truly a race with deep accumulation. Even after such heavy losses, they could still afford to send so many immortal kings out. Meanwhile, Su Yu's focus was elsewhere. He knew that a lot of Invincibles had arrived. But it did not matter. The source of thɪs content is novᴇlfire.net He visited city after city. Some made him the mayor directly while some only gave him an important position enough to share the burden. The guardians did not say much to him. Some were silent, some were excited, and some were cold. But all of them showed a certain degree of longing...or thirst, to be precise. A thirst for blood. A thirst for a battle. A thirst for destruction. A hundred thousand years. Even for them, that was long enough to be driven into madness.
