Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 603: Su Yu Enters The Capital (2)

"There are definitely more undiscovered ruins in the Human Realm. Some of the more powerful ones might still be hidden. It is impossible for the myriad race experts to not covet this potential. And since there is no suppressive force in the Human Realm, these invaders are able to unleash their full strength in the Human Realm. Thus, it is not surprising that we remain a tempting target for them.

"It is also rumored that there are some unique items hidden in the Human Realm that are very enticing for the powerful races such as the divines and the devils. Thus, they have been paying close attention to us all these years."

Su Yu nodded and asked, "Director, I have been curious about one thing. Do we also suffer from the suppressive force of the other realms?"

If the other races did not suffer from the suppressive force in the Human Realm, would humans be subjected to the suppressive force of the other realms?

"This is one of the reasons why the Human Realm remains a target of all the other races. We are immune to the suppressive force of all the other realms." Director Hou said, "Both the Human Realm and the human race are unique in this regard. This is why the myriad races are wary of us. This is why they are all trying their best to suppress us lest we grow to dominate the Myriad Realms."

He sighed helplessly and said, "But humans are a peaceful race. We won't easily invade anyone. Why must they be so wary of us?"

"..."

Silence descended.

At this moment, Su Yu finally understood why the divines and devils were able to recruit so many allies to suppress the human race. Holy shit! A human Invincible would remain an Invincible after entering a different realm. Would the other top 100 races not feel threatened?

The divines and devils would need ten Invincibles to deal with one Invincible during each invasion. The cost of invasion would dissuade most invasions from happening. But the humans would only require one Invincible to deal with a defending Invincible. Who else would they try to exterminate if not the human race?

Su Yu asked, "Are most of the top 100 races our enemies?"

"Yeah." Director Hou said, "There's no helping it. It's not like we have a choice. What can we do if we're born special? Are we supposed to exterminate ourselves? Thus, a lot of human prefectures are trying their best to look friendly and harmless so that others won't view us as invaders. On the other hand, Great Xia has been very aggressive for so many years. It is only natural that they are being suppressed by the myriad races. In fact, any prefecture this aggressive will become a target of suppression."

Finally, Su Yu understood how much the myriad races feared the human race. No wonder they were able to so easily join hands and suppress the human race. Because of their fear!

It wasn't like the humans didn't have any allies, but most races with actual Invincibles would not be willing to ally themselves with the human race. And the only reason for that was the threat posed by the human race.

The divines and devils might be strong, but they would need ten Invincibles to deal with a single Invincible. The threat level was much lower. It was entirely different for the human race. They only needed to send two Invincibles into a foreign realm to cause endless trouble.

Director Hou and Su Yu spent a long time talking about all sorts of topics. They talked about Great Ming, the Human Realm, the Allheaven Battlefield, and the other major realms.

Director Hou was actually very old despite his young appearance. Thus, he was a well-traveled individual. In fact, Great Ming might be lacking in many other aspects, but they were definitely not lacking in the elderly.

This was completely different from Great Xia which was filled with the younger generation of experts due to the numerous wars they waged. Most of their older experts had already perished in the numerous battles they had fought.

Meanwhile, in Great Ming, people like Director Hou, Principal Niu, and many other Sunmoons were actually born during the early years of the prefecture or even before the establishment of the prefecture. Unfortunately, Great Ming had not produced too many experts in recent years.

If one was being polite, one would say that Great Ming was a prefecture with deep accumulation. If one was being frank, one would say that Great Ming was having trouble replenishing their pool of talent.

In truth, this was also applicable for Great Xia, but for an entirely different reason. They were simply losing people faster than they could replenish their people. And in Great Xia, the so-called younger generation generally referred to those under fifty. Meanwhile, anyone under a hundred years in age would still be considered someone of the younger generation in Great Ming.

***

On the final night of year 350, Su Yu spent his time talking with Director Hou, greatly alleviating his homesickness.

1st of January, 351.

Once again, Su Yu set off toward Tiandu.

Meanwhile, rumors regarding Su Yu, Great Xia, and the struggle between the single and multiple character factions started spreading among the populace.

"Great Xia sure is ruthless."

"Just yesterday alone, they killed a bunch of experts, including some Mountainseas."

"Tsk, tsk. Great Xia sure has a lot of experts. Even after losing so many of them, they still have so many experts to kill."

"I heard Su Yu has joined Great Ming. That's one ruthless individual as well. He got several Sunmoons and Mountainseas killed with a single ploy."

"What is that Sunmoon you talk about?"

An old man laughed and said, "Above the Skysoar Realm is the Cloudbreach Realm. Above that is the Mountainsea Realm. After surpassing the mountains and the seas, one will get to pry on the sun and the moon, hovering in the sky like the sun and the moon, gaining the strength to suppress an entire era. Our prefect is one such individual, a mighty Sunmoon."

A lot of these youngsters were similar to Su Yu of the past. They lacked knowledge and had never even heard about the Sunmoon Realm.

Of course, things were still better in Great Ming as most people were still aware of the Mountainsea Realm. Back then, Su Yu knew even less than them. There was no helping that since Nanyuan was truly too remote.

Listening to the conversations as he traveled, Su Yu smiled. The Xia Family was indeed quite ruthless this time. But they weren't doing that entirely for Su Yu. In fact, they needed to thank him for giving them this excuse to clean up their ranks.

If the Xia Family decided to kill those experts without such a good reason, the entire Human Realm would probably rise in protest.

But now, the single character faction of the various prefectures was staying silent. Nobody said anything. At most, they would grumble privately, but nobody dared to openly criticize Great Xia for the executions.

If the Xia Family dared to carry out such executions at any other time, all the cultural researchers of humanity would turn against them.

But now, even a Sunmoon had been caught colluding with the devil alongside more than ten Mountainseas. If the Xia Family remained silent even after something like that, they would truly start losing their prestige. Thus, the single character faction was forced to stay silent even if they were unhappy about it.

"Xia Xiao'er sure is smart. He was able to instantly turn the situation around and make use of this chance to remove some unwanted individuals from Great Xia."

Su Yu smiled in amusement. Marquis Xia was still quite capable, after all. But it was possible that this was Xia Longwu's decision instead. Numerous heads had fallen during the past few days, but the people of Great Xia did not think that too much blood had been split. Instead, they were all greatly excited and proud.

As far as they were concerned, the previous scandal was the fault of a few individuals instead of Great Xia as a whole. Thus, their anger had been redirected to the Myriad Race Cult.

During the past two days, more than ten cult strongholds had been wiped out. Hundreds of cultists were caught and executed. One ought to admit that Great Xia's strategy of intentionally leaving these strongholds alone in the past was now paying off. Whenever something happened, these cultists would serve as the best scapegoat to placate the populace.

This was one of the reasons the cult was so fearful of operating within Great Xia. Too many of them had been killed.

Meanwhile, Su Yu had arrived at the city that was the nearest to the capital. This city was around five hundred kilometers away from the capital. He stopped in front of a restaurant and hopped off the suanni. At the moment, the suanni's fur had turned gray. Without the usual golden coat, the suanni was rather inconspicuous. Thus, they were mostly ignored by the pedestrians around them.

Su Yu entered the restaurant and noted that it was filled with customers. A storyteller was in the middle of telling a story in the restaurant.

After climbing to the second floor, Su Yu heard the old storyteller narrate with an excited voice, "At that moment, Su Yu overturned the heavens, summoning hundreds of lightning bolts with his Hundred Lightning Annihilation Technique to strike Zhou Pingsheng, dying his body red with blood..."

At this, a customer on the second floor laughed and said, "Stop making up stories. Hundred Lightning Annihilation Technique? How do you even know that?"

"Just piss off if you don't want to listen." The storyteller said, "How could I not know? I was near the Starfall Mountain when this happened! I heard the name of this technique from Su Yu himself!"

"Bullshit. I remember that you were here telling a different story during that incident."

"Bullshit!" The storyteller said, "On that day, I toured thirty-six cities in my dream. Nothing in Great Ming can remain secret from me!"

"..."

The crowd roared with laughter. The storyteller did not seem to mind. He continued his storytelling.

After a while, he said, "Su Yu has probably arrived at Tiandu. A storm is brewing in the capital! Every single person from Great Xia is a butcher. And someone like him who is capable of killing Cloudbreaches at the Mental Tempering Stage can hardly be found even throughout history! I heard that Su Yu's hand will itch if he spends even one day without killing anyone! Friends, if you have a child in the capital, you need to notify them about this. Su Yu is three meters in height, and he is a merciless butcher..."

"Old man, how do you know his height?" Su Yu smiled and asked, "His face is not shown in those recordings, but it is obvious that he is someone of a regular height."

"What does a kid like you know?" The storyteller said, "That is a disguise he put on with his Cosmos Transformation Technique. I once saw his true body with my own eyes. He is as big as a giant..."
