Tribulation of Myriad Races
Chapter Summary
One of them spoke through voice transmission, "The stone statue of each city taken over by Su Yu would gain the ability to fight outside the city. Noticing that Su Yu was flying toward Rainbow Rain City, someone else spoke through voice transmission, "Su Yu has the ability to free the ancient stone statues. But as far as the myriad races were concerned, Empyrean Cloud and Grandstar were the only credible threats since they were the only stone statues with the ability to leave their cities.
Chapter 1295: When In Trouble, Call Daddy (1) Su Yu was back.
The area was packed with ancient cities.
The people of the nine realms were feeling greatly pressured by the presence of all these ancient cities.
The thirty-five ancient cities had surrounded the nine realm entrances in the middle.
The locals felt like crying, and there was nothing they could do but pray that things would remain peaceful.
If the ancient cities must fight, then please let the fight not spread to their homes.
This was too dangerous.
Clearly, one needed a lot of courage to become a neighbor of Grandstar City.
Right after Su Yu stepped out of Empyrean Cloud City, draconic roars filled the sky.
Several massive dragons appeared in the sky.
Among them was a golden dragon emanating an incomparably powerful aura.
Yet even the powerful golden dragon was regarding the ancient cities with fear.
When the golden dragon saw Su Yu, his voice rang out.
"Since ancient times, the Sea of Stars has always been the territory of the dragon race.
We do not wish to create trouble or interfere in the assembly, but Grandstar City must leave the Sea of Stars.
" If the alliance were to happen, a powerful faction would emerge in the Sea of Stars.
This would threaten their interests in the region.
Thus, the dragons had to voice their objection even at the risk of provoking the stone statues.
Su Yu smiled and said, "I'll assume this is a joke, my friend.
Grandstar City is probably older than the dragon race itself.
How is the Sea of Stars your territory?
Furthermore, I'm not in charge of where the city settles.
You're speaking to the wrong person.
Perhaps I should get the lord guardian to speak with you instead.
" The golden dragon said, "Su Yu, don't forget that there are Eternals and a Pseudo Emperor in the dragon race as well.
By setting down your roots here, you will become our direct competitors.
The Dragon Realm can't be moved, but the ancient cities can.
We only need you to move elsewhere.
Why must you make the dragon race your enemy?
" Su Yu rolled his eyes and said, "That is not my intention, and this is not something I can decide alone.
How about this?
I'll pass your words to the guardians.
Will that do?
You can't be expecting me to make this decision, right?
Do you think I can move against the will of the guardians?
"At times, a little bit of patience is all it takes for everyone to prosper.
There is no need to escalate every little matter you dislike.
Does the dragon race really want to challenge more than thirty Invincibles over such a trivial matter?
"You'll have to forgive me if I'm being too blunt.
That's just who I am.
We can always talk things out.
Must you trigger a battle between Invincibles for something like this?
It is pointless, if you ask me.
We can talk more later.
At the very least, you need to wait for me to unite the ancient cities first, right?
Before that, my words will hold no weight among the other mayors.
Am I right?
" Su Yu started soaring into the sky as he said, "Give me a moment.
I have been instructed by the leader of the guardians, Lord Grand Dream, to take over the Rainbow Rain City as well.
Mayor of Rainbow Rain, are you present?
" "Hey!
Me!
What about me?
" Suddenly, a gloomy, depressed, jealous, bitter, and sorrowful voice rang out.
Heavendoom.
What about him?
Why did it become Rainbow Rain?
When would his turn come?
Su Yu cupped his fists at Heavendoom City in surprise.
Floating above the city was Mayor Tian He...
with a bloody head.
What was up with that?
Su Yu did not think too much about it.
Perhaps the mayor had encountered some difficulties during cultivation.
He said, "Lord Heavendoom, please wait.
This is the instruction of Lord Grand Dream.
I'll need to prioritize it.
Is the mayor of Rainbow Rain here?
" At that, a black tiger flew out of a nearby ancient city.
Su Yu blanked out.
What a big tiger.
From the name of the city, he had thought that both the guardian and the mayor would be females.
Was he wrong?
Or perhaps this was a tigress?
He wasn't sure.
Also, what was the breed of this tiger?
Why was its fur black instead of the usual color?
The tiger spoke weakly, "Mayor Su, are you here to take over my city?
Good.
Very good...
" Clearly, Rainbow Rain City had been pushed to its limits.
This was now obvious to Su Yu.
In fact, he suspected that this tiger wasn't originally dark in color.
Rather, the death qi in his body had grown far beyond what he could control, changing the very color of his fur.
The mayor was probably so weakened he couldn't even maintain his humanoid form anymore.
Were things really that bad in this city?
*** Right at that moment, multiple experts appeared in the sky.
One of them spoke through voice transmission, "The stone statue of each city taken over by Su Yu would gain the ability to fight outside the city.
Does this mean that the stone statues will be prevented from leaving as long as he's prevented from taking over these cities?
Shall we stop this?
In the past, the stone statues were not able to leave their cities.
Those were good days.
But now, Grandstar and Empyrean Cloud have both gained the ability to leave their cities.
If this happens to more stone statues, the balance of the Allheaven Battlefield will change drastically.
" More and more experts appeared.
Noticing that Su Yu was flying toward Rainbow Rain City, someone else spoke through voice transmission, "Su Yu has the ability to free the ancient stone statues.
Killing him will put a stop to this.
Yes, that will be dangerous to attempt.
But the ancient stone statues are too dangerous to be allowed outside their cities.
Don't forget that Su Yu is a human.
" Yes.
For the myriad races, humanity was the root of all evil.
When weak, humanity would suffer the suppression of the myriad races.
When strong, humanity would pursue vengeance.
Then, the myriad races would bide their time before pursuing their vengeance against humanity.
This was an unending cycle.
A vicious and unending cycle.
Again and again, the myriad races would choose to suppress humanity.
Again and again, humanity would rise again and pursue vengeance.
Su Yu was a human as well.
At its current state, humanity was already very powerful.
If this alliance were to take form, humanity would be even harder to handle.
Should they kill Su Yu?
If they let him be, the alliance might form.
What, then?
They had intended to let some of the mayors stop the alliance from forming.
Alas, with Empyrean Cloud and Grandstar appearing outside their cities to back Su Yu, it was unlikely the mayors would have the courage to stand up to Su Yu anymore.
After all, these stone statues were the biggest backers of these mayors.
Just look at how silent the mayors of Eternal Serenity and Openmountain Cities had gotten after the two stone statues voiced their backing for Su Yu.
They had nearly been beaten to death just for speaking up against Su Yu.
Who among them would have the courage to further challenge Su Yu?
Thus, the myriad races were forced to take action themselves.
One Invincible after another appeared.
A little over a month ago, a battle between Invincibles had erupted, resulting in the deaths of multiple Invincibles.
Thus, these Invincibles were very unwilling to come.
But they had to do this.
Su Yu was alarmed to note the Invincibles.
Holy shit!
Was there a need for this?
Weren't the myriad races a tad too impatient?
The powerful dragons from earlier reappeared in the sky, accompanied by the aura of an Invincible.
Even higher above them, a gigantic celestial dragon appeared.
Hovering in the sky, the celestial dragon looked down upon Su Yu.
When his gaze landed on Su Yu, a bizarre look flickered in his eyes.
He said, "Su Yu, the dragon race does not wish to fight you.
Move all the ancient cities out of the Sea of Stars.
This is not coming from me.
This is the will of the Dragon Emperor.
You humans have a saying that there is no room for two tigers on the same mountain.
We are not seeking trouble with you, but we can't allow the establishment of a new power so near our core territory.
" That was actually a very reasonable reason.
Su Yu himself would do the same in the same position.
But...
where was he supposed to go?
He smiled and said, "Everyone is misunderstanding me.
I do not intend to settle all the ancient cities in the Sea of Stars.
We're only here for a meeting.
Since we need to suppress the Death Realm, we can't really move around too much.
After the meeting, everyone will leave.
Only Grandstar City will remain.
Is the dragon race thinking of kicking us out of the Sea of Stars even though the city has been here for countless years?
" Su Yu was more than willing to negotiate.
There was no point in clashing against all these major races.
"That is no longer allowed.
" The dragon Invincible said, "Grandstar City is allowed here in the past, but things have changed with you as the mayor.
As long as you remain the mayor, Grandstar City will not be allowed to remain in the Sea of Stars.
" Basically, they were more worried about Su Yu than the stone statue.
Su Yu was simply too great a threat.
He had a history of stirring trouble of immense proportions, causing the deaths of many Sunmoons and tri-life bodies of Invincibles.
The Luminous Domain Mansion was going to open soon.
And Grandstar City occupied a strategic location in regard to the mansion.
They couldn't allow Su Yu to remain here during such a sensitive time.
It was too dangerous and risky.
Su Yu frowned.
So they were insisting on forcing him to leave.
It didn't look like they would relent.
After all, even the other races were in agreement about this.
Su Yu smiled and said, "Isn't this a tad bit too excessive?
How are you sure that the dragons were here first?
Perhaps Grandstar City was already here long before that.
I have already conceded by suggesting that only Grandstar City will remain.
It's only one city.
Why must you be so aggressive against only one city?
How will triggering a conflict between us benefit you?
" While speaking to the dragon, a certain medallion in his sea of willpower was flickering madly.
"Lord Grand Dream!
Lord Grand Dream!
The dragons are kicking us out of the Sea of Stars!
That includes your Grand Dream City!
Lord, what should I do?
Maybe we should relent and just move away?
" Since he wouldn't be a match for the dragon race, he decided to seek the old turtle's opinion.
If the old turtle agreed to move, he would move.
Grandstar and Empyrean Cloud would probably not be sufficient to deter the dragons.
After all, the dragon race was also a race with a Pseudo Emperor, a top-five race.
Su Yu was not interested in provoking a race like this for no reason.
It wasn't like he was the one who had decided to build all these ancient cities here.
He certainly didn't mind moving away.
*** Grand Dream City.
After countless years of peace, the old turtle's peace had been broken right after meeting Su Yu.
He opened his eyes and looked up helplessly.
He knew it!
It was wrong to find a mayor!
He would rather handle the death qi alone than deal with all the troubles a mayor could cause.
In his experience, all mayors were shit-stirrers.
That was the case for He Tu.
That was clearly also the case for Su Yu.
For countless years, the dragon race had left the ancient cities alone.
They wouldn't provoke the ancient cities for no reason.
Clearly, they were doing this because they were feeling threatened by Su Yu.
*** At the same time.
Above the ancient cities.
The numerous stone statues released their auras, causing reality itself to shake.
But as far as the myriad races were concerned, Empyrean Cloud and Grandstar were the only credible threats since they were the only stone statues with the ability to leave their cities.
A devil king stepped forth and slowly said, "The devil race does not intend to interfere in the matters of the Sea of Stars.
The Devil Emperor has decided to withdraw all our operations from the Sea of Stars.
However, the Devil Emperor has also cautioned against starting another conflict.
Su Yu, if you remain stubborn, the myriad races will be forced to act.
Because of you, the human race and the ancient cities will be plunged into a conflict they don't want.
"
