When Grandstar returned from his short hunting trip, Su Yu bid the old turtle farewell before returning to Grandstar City. That trip hadn't been for nothing. It had helped establish the beginnings of his future path. Inside the city, Wan Tiansheng continued his lesson about the laws. Only with a clear mind could one advance with clarity. When Su Yu listened to Wan Tiansheng again, he found himself comprehending more things than before. He also came to understand the reason for Wan Tiansheng's mastery over the laws. That was mainly due to the large number of characters Wan Tiansheng had formed. And characters were essentially laws. Su Yu did not wait around doing nothing. While listening to the lesson, he was also digesting his gains from the previous battle. He had gathered some heavenly rewards from killing Wisdom King and the other Invincibles. He had been too busy to absorb the rewards at the time. Thus, he had stored all the rewards in his Mark of Civilization. Equipped with his recently gained knowledge that the rewards were essentially the power of heavenly laws, he was starting to view them differently. He spent the next few days studying the rewards. Some rumors regarding Su Yu started spreading among the elites, such as his need to feed his weapon with countless blood essence and carrier treasures. According to the rumors, Su Yu was even trying to start another war involving the Myriad Realms. That way, he could kill even more Invincibles to feed his weapon. That shocked numerous people, and many became even more determined to kill Su Yu. They couldn't allow such a walking calamity to live. Eventually, the time for Wan Tiansheng to leave arrived. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel·fire·net He had been in the city for nine days. He did not have much to say. With a smile, he said, "I'll be taking my leave now. With the gazes of everyone in the Myriad Realms on this city, it feels terrible to stay here." Su Yu nodded and said, "Be careful, Principal. When you leave, some might assume that's me in disguise. They might probably try to ambush you to test you." "It's fine. I'll call for you when I'm in danger. It's not like they have the courage to attack rashly." Su Yu did not try to persuade Wan Tiansheng to stay. A true expert would not stay under someone's care forever. Su Yu was doing that at the moment, but that was only something he had done out of desperation. Wan Tiansheng said, "Rumors that you need a large amount of blood essence to strengthen your demonic weapon have spread all over the Myriad Realms. Are you going to start selling that thing soon?" Su Yu smiled, "Nope. I'm changing the plan. I'll be selling this instead." At that, he took the record character out, stunning Wan Tiansheng. Su Yu said, "I'll be selling this back to Bountiful Treasure. It should return where it was. Or I might sell it to the Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor instead." Wan Tiansheng stared at Su Yu blankly. Su Yu laughed and said, "The person with the greatest desire to get this thing is probably the Heavenly Overseer Marquis. I wouldn't mind selling to him either..." "What about the humans in the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion?" Su Yu chuckled and said, "I'm not saving them anymore. After all, I'm cold-blooded. Those humans are not as important as my growth." Wan Tiansheng gave Su Yu a deep look before asking, "Are you really selling it?" Su Yu grinned, "We shall see." In any case, he wasn't going to sell the smiling mouth lotus as it would be quite obvious. It had to be something he sold accidentally, not the main item available for sale. Wan Tiansheng did not bother to give Su Yu more advice regarding the matter. Su Yu was not an ignorant youth. He was someone who had killed his way from the Human Realm to the Allheaven Battlefield. Then, he killed his way to the Death Realm before killing his way back to the world of the living. Bloodshed accompanied him every step of the way. Thus, he was already comparable to some old foxes in terms of life experience. Then, Wan Tiansheng flew away. Su Yu watched as Wan Tiansheng departed. He could sense some presences around the city vanishing when Wan Tiansheng left. Suddenly, he flew out of the city and threw a punch. A hidden Sunmoon was instantly blasted into pieces. Next, a massive book appeared and consumed the remains of the Sunmoon. That did not end there. Rather, the book started enlarging in the sky. Its pages started flipping automatically as one projection after another appeared before charging to different locations. In the blink of an eye, about six or seven Sunmoons were consumed by them. Then, the book descended and sank into the sea. Down in the sea, it started consuming the nearby demonic beasts regardless of strength. At that moment, Su Yu looked like a demon. Up in the sky, he floated indifferently in his fluttering white robes, his hands clasped behind him. He watched as his book reaped countless lives. Shock rippled everywhere even as he floated there calmly. "No life form is allowed to exist within a hundred kilometers around Grandstar City. Notify me in advance if you have business with me. Do not approach without permission. This is applicable for all races." Far away, an expert asked furiously, "Su Yu, you killed without reason! Are you not afraid of becoming a wanted criminal of the myriad races?" Su Yu asked, "Am I not already a wanted criminal of the myriad races? What nonsense are you saying? I would have died long ago if the myriad races could really kill me. Do you think Tiangu, Jiwu, and the others don't want me dead? Are you dumb? Fuck off. Or you can stay and I'll use your blood to start another war against the Myriad Realms." The distant expert was incomparably furious, but he did not have the courage to stay. He merely left gloomily. At the same time, the other hidden experts in the area also distanced themselves from the city. They were all here to monitor Su Yu and observe his every movement. One could say that Su Yu had the attention of the entire Myriad Realms. His act of instantly killing everything within a hundred kilometers was soon spread among the various races. Numerous people witnessed how he had consumed all those living beings with his book. His infamy spread far and wide. This was a butcher through and through. Even the likes of Xia Longwu and Qin Zhen looked tame in comparison. Su Yu was the true butcher without a bottom line. Alas, he was powerful enough that he was untouchable for now. These days, a large number of Invincible would always be present here in preparation for a war. All the Invincibles were gathered at the Vanguard Regiment. Not long after Su Yu conducted his massacre, a soldier entered a hall and reported, "Reporting, Principal Wan has left the city. Mayor Su Yu took the chance to remove all the spies around the city, including seven Sunmoons. Countless people below the Sunmoon Realm were killed as well. He warned anyone from entering the radius of a hundred kilometers around Grandstar City." "Principal Wan?" Someone snorted, "Wan Tiansheng is no longer a principal. He has defected from humanity. Just address him by his name." The soldier remained silent. He did not argue, but he didn't correct himself either. The masses had their own way of measuring justice. Wan Tiansheng had killed the traitor Invincible and the invading Invincibles. He had also saved Xia Longwu, participated in the previous battle, and killed numerous enemy Invincibles. The human Invincibles viewed him with hostility due to his act of destroying the two holy lands. But for a regular soldier, Wan Tiansheng was a saint. Was he demonic? They had their own way of judging that. "Hmph!" Noticing the soldier's silence, the Invincible easily guessed what the soldier was thinking. He snorted with displeasure and said, "Leave." The soldier stood up and left. A different Invincible chuckled and said, "Calm down. Don't anger yourself for a regular soldier. If you really dislike Wan Tiansheng so much, just go after him yourself. What did he even do to you apart from killing a son and two grandsons of yours?" That was akin to pouring oil on fire. The furious Invincible said, "I spent countless years fighting on the front lines. Even if I did produce two worthless silk pants, so what? Who was Wan Tiansheng to kill them without so much as a word to me? Even if my silk pants were cowardly, how would that harm his benefits? Couldn't I let my descendants enjoy their lives with my many years of contribution to humanity?" The other Invincibles had no argument against that. He might be brash, but he wasn't necessarily wrong. Providing a good life to their descendants was a big motivation for many of these Invincibles who had fought on the front lines for so many years. Great Qin King said, "Enough. Wan Tiansheng killed all those people because the Sunmoons had disobeyed a military command. During war, martial laws take precedent. He didn't kill some silk pants. He killed some army deserters. Do not obscure the facts with your sophistry." The Invincible snorted, but he said nothing else. That was indeed the excuse Wan Tiansheng had used to kill all those people. Otherwise, some of these Invincibles would have gone after Wan Tiansheng for revenge by now. Great Qin King did not wish to continue arguing about the same thing. He said, "We are not talking about Wan Tiansheng. We're talking about Su Yu here. The previous battle might have ended, but that was not a true end. Instead, that was merely the start. "All of you saw the strength of the various races. This is especially true for the immortal races. Just look at how easily they had dispatched such a large number of ninth-degree Eternals. They probably have more than a hundred Eternals among them. Just the immortal race alone is enough to crush all of humanity. Including the other races, we are facing countless strong enemies. "Humanity has not suffered much from the recent conflicts. Instead, we have grown slightly and gained several new Eternals. But this is far from enough. Without a Daofuse, we won't be able to deter the various races from doing anything rash against us." Toward the end, Great Qin King turned solemn as he said, "The myriad races are still allowing humanity some breathing space, but that's not due to our strength. They are merely trying to split humanity apart and draw a wedge between us and Su Yu. "If Su Yu were to fall, we would receive their attention again. In the past, they had not reached an agreement on how to deal with us. The divines and devils had the immortals to worry about. But after their recent losses, the immortals would definitely start focusing on us. This changes things. The myriad races might finally reach a consensus on how to deal with us. "For now, Su Yu is still their priority target. With the Death Realm and the Luminous Domain Mansion, he is able to deter them from doing anything temporarily. But they won't give up." Great Qin King concluded, "Therefore, Su Yu can't die. When he dies, humanity will lose its wall. He had mostly caused such a big trouble this time for my sake. To protect the Eternals of humanity."
