Great Zhou King roared like a madman, "Bring it on! When you started cultivating in your youth, how many scenes unique to only the savior of humanity did I create for you? In order to stimulate your sense of responsibility, I allowed you to save numerous beauties as a great hero, becoming a hero of justice, before growing an army powerful enough to overthrow the previous dynasty! What do you know?

"Do you think you were really that lucky? That money would appear beside any random road you walked? That a mountain of gold would appear out of any random hole you dug? Is raising and sustaining an army so easy?

"I buried that mountain of gold for you! Do you think everyone followed you voluntarily back then? No! I confused all of them before sending them your way! All that to give you more comrades you could fight alongside!

"I took great care of you so you wouldn't turn out like Yue Gang, constantly suspicious of humanity! I hid myself until the very end so you wouldn't grow suspicious of humanity! In battles, I gave you numerous opportunities to shine, allowing you to gather the support of the masses. But you! You are too useless! You should just die!"

Great Zhou King roared in fury.

As for Great Qin King, he blanked out slightly before raging as well. "I see now! I was so curious about my smooth life! Everything felt so easy and smooth! Even when the myriad races targeted me, I constantly won! So it was you, you old bastard! No wonder I lost the ability to use my brain! It was all you! Die!"

"..."

Boom!

And now, the two started fighting seriously, even when both were still seas of willpower.

Great Zhou King believed that Great Qin King had disappointed him. Great Qin King believed that Great Zhou King had turned him into the brute that he was. In any case, both had found the reason to fight seriously.

Meanwhile, Su Yu was silently recording the whole exchange with a smile on his face.

Interesting.

He couldn't be bothered to get involved in this quarrel.

To the side, Great Xia King observed the fight for a while. When he noticed that Great Qin King was losing, he snorted and said, "So you decided that Old Qin was better than me? I have always been smarter, but I would always lose to him. Now I know why! So you! It was you, you old bastard! Die!"

Boom!

And thus, he joined the fight.

Su Yu continued ignoring the fight. He reckoned that Great Zhou King was letting off steam after being patient for so long. Wait, was he doing this because his dao comprehension had deepened or something?

During his previous dao fusion, he had lost his temper as well. Was this actually his process of increasing his dao comprehension?

Well, it didn't matter. It was rare to see Great Zhou King so angry. He spent the majority of his time acting like an old fox.

Su Yu did not think that he was the one who had triggered Great Zhou King's temper. This had nothing to do with him! He wasn't even involved in the fight! On that note, these fellows seemed quite healthy since they could fight even when they had all been reduced to balls of light.

Since Su Yu still had many things to do, he spent a little time recording the fight before saying, "Great Zhou King, I will never inherit that dao. It might have begged me to accept it, but that will never happen.

"Since you have been controlling Great Qin King from the shadows for so many years, just keep doing it for a few years. Maybe that will be enough to make him the new successor. To truly temper someone, a beating is needed. Just give him a beating and he will grow up healthier."

"..."

"Ahhhhhhh!"

Great Zhou King roared madly, but Su Yu ignored him and left with Old Wan and Lan Tian.

Wan Tiansheng sent a voice transmission with an amused tone, "Why did you provoke him?"

"That old fellow has been hiding too many things. And sure enough, he has always been aware of Human Emperor's dao. He never told me that. He probably believed that I was unqualified to inherit that dao. Heh...This is a good opportunity to drive him crazy. I am qualified, but I'm not accepting it. Something he views as the greatest of treasures is nothing for me."

In short, Su Yu was doing this for fun.

Wan Tiansheng was left speechless. Great Zhou King had indeed been driven mad this time.

Su Yu said, "He might still be hiding more things. Whatever. We'll wait for him to expose himself. For now, we'll research the fusion of myriad daos. We'll wait a few days before returning to check how many people are leaving with us."

With a smile, Lan Tian asked, "Why don't we do something big? Let's empty the Human Realm and replace all humanity with my clones. I can leave tens of thousands of clones behind."

"..."

Fuck that!

Su Yu grimaced and said, "No, don't be such an ass. Hundred Battle would probably go mad when he saw that only tens of thousands of humans were left. And upon realizing that all of the survivors were your clones, he would probably self-detonate from sheer anger. Why do that to him?"

Then again, that was quite an amusing idea.

At that thought, Su Yu laughed and said, "But we can play a prank on him. How about this? We leave him an imperial palace, and you can fill that palace with hundreds of beauties. Let him have some fun with all those beauties."

"..."

Wan Tiansheng's face twitched as he resisted the urge to flee the two beside him.

That was too crazy.

Su Yu added, "But he might be able to see through your clones. He probably has the Heaven Gate as well, or at the very least, he has something with a similar ability. How about this? We distract Hundred Battle with beauties before sending numerous handsome guys to seduce Cloud Water and the others..."

Wan Tiansheng hurriedly switched the topic and asked, "Are you in too much of a rush? You're pioneering your dao too early. I'm worried that your dao will be filled with weaknesses. It might even collapse due to instability."

Su Yu nodded, "Yes, that is possible. But I still wish to try. I can take my time to slowly perfect it when it's pioneered. If I were to open such a dao in the ancient past, the Masters of Laws could easily see through my dao and slap it apart easily. But such beings are no longer around."

Su Yu grinned and said, "The old fossils nowadays are all leftovers of the ancient past. None of them is good enough to see through my dao."

Su Yu had thought through this decision.

"For now, let's go look for a few people and further perfect our theory on the fusion of myriad daos."

Su Yu was rather insistent on this. He was unwilling to wait as nobody knew when that wait would end.

"Also, there is something I can only solve by pioneering my dao."

"What is it?"

"I can't move Culture King's Residence." Su Yu explained, "And if I can't move it, I won't be able to keep using the human lord's token. Even if I'm going to quit, I won't leave my token behind. I would rather turn it into a death spirit's token or something than leave it behind. In any case, I still have a large number of humans under me. I also need to move Culture King's Residence or Fat Ball won't be able to keep following me.

"I need to pioneer a dao. It doesn't matter if the dao is weak. I need to first move Culture King's Residence over to the hole I'm digging. If that place isn't stable enough, I'll move it into my dao. That can also help stabilize my dao."

Wan Tiansheng gasped, "Are you going to empty everything Culture King left behind?"

"Am I?" Su Yu laughed, "I'm not emptying his residence. I'm merely moving his residence elsewhere."

Before long, the three were out of the Celestial Chasm Realm. They were on the way to gather some people for their upcoming research.

***

At the same time.

Buried Soul Mountain.

Suddenly, Hundred Battle King stopped moving and said with a chuckle, "Let's wait longer. More time is needed."

Behind him, Cloud Water Marquis asked, "You mean..." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"I'll give him time to make his choice. He can stay, leave, or...fight."

Hundred Battle King said, "From your explanation, I can see the type of person Su Yu is. It's unlikely that he's willing to stay under me. It doesn't matter if his previous defeat was an act or not. During the battle, you guys disobeyed him. I believe he managed to reach a certain conclusion from that."

To the side, Southbrook Marquis said, "Your Majesty, if we delay our return and he decides to destroy everything before leaving..."

"It's fine."

Hundred Battle King said, "If that happens, we simply need to restart from scratch."

He sat down and gazed at the indistinct hole before him. "It has been six thousand years. I wonder if things have changed a lot down there..."

Cloud Water Marquis nodded, "A lot has changed, but for the most part, things are going well. By the way, since you suspect he's leaving, where can he even go?"

"Where?" Hundred Battle King said, "Death Realm, or the boundless void. He has plenty of choices."

"What if he refuses to leave?"

Hundred Battle King thought about it and laughed, "That won't happen. As you said, he's a smart man. Someone so smart understands that if he meets me without the intention to bow, we will have to fight. And he's still not my match."

"Have you never considered..." Cloud Water Marquis hesitated to complete her sentence.

Hundred Battle King waved his hand and said, "There is no need for that. The time has yet to arrive to do something so drastic. Powerful enemies are still around. What's the point of fighting among ourselves? In any case, I don't really care if I'm still the human lord or not."

He stared in the direction of the Chaos Mountain. After a long while, he said, "Keep a low profile when we're down there. Try to maintain the status quo. The war between Control King's lineage and the myriad races has yet to start. We also need some time to regain our strength."

The others nodded.

Just as Southbrook Marquis was about to say something, a gigantic axe appeared somewhere above the Chaos Mountain. A figure appeared in the sky as the axe descended.

"Traitors of Control King's lineage! Show yourselves! I'll kill you all!"

Boom!

The gigantic axe swept through the Chaos Mountain.

Looking at that scene, Hundred Battle King chuckled and said, "Giant Axe is free. Looks like he will be the spark of the coming chaos in the Upper Realm."

Southbrook Marquis frowned as he said, "Giant Axe is too rash. He might end up encircled doing this..."

"The myriad races won't allow him to die so easily. Times have changed. At present, their biggest enemy is Control King's lineage." Hundred Battle King shut his eyes and said, "This has nothing to do with us. Giant Axe won't die so easily. Control King's lineage won't act rashly against him either. They need to be constantly wary lest they accidentally provide an opening for the myriad races."

The rest sank into silence. Since their king was saying that, that must be the case.
