Tribulation of Myriad Races

Zhu Tiandao said, "I have no choice. Why should I care about others when I'm hurt? Do you guys really think that everyone can be a saint? You keep telling others to be magnaminous and generous when you're not the one making the sacrifice. Who do you think you are? You're only saying all this because your people aren't the ones dying. What if that Invincible decides to kill a Yuan Family member today, a Zhou Family member tomorrow, and a Zhang Family member the day after? I'll tell you to be magnanimous and think about the human race. Are you going to agree? Come on, say yes. The moment you say yes, your families will lose at least one member each day from tomorrow onward. Do you want to test me?

"I mean, it's very easy for an Invincible to assassinate a few Sunmoons without leaving any proof behind. My old man can do that as well. Even if I have to do it myself, I can easily kill some early Sunmoons without leaving any proof as well. But when that happens, you guys need to be magnanimous and think for humanity. Come on, say yes. If you say yes, I will withdraw all the requests I made earlier. I will leave right away. What do you think?"

Silence descended.

After a short silence, Great Han King said, "I understand. You're right. This unknown Invincible is starting to affect the stability of humanity. If this continues, our unity will be broken. And once broken, it will be hard to repair. I don't know who that person is, but I can promise that I will investigate this till the end if another attack happens. If anyone dares to stop me, Great Han will make the same choice as Great Ming. Are you satisfied with this?"

Zhu Tiandao grinned, "Of course. That bastard spends all their time doing stupid things. We can tolerate them once since we have no way of finding out who that bastard is. But why is that bastard doing it again and again? Do they think that everyone is stupid? Do they think that they can kill anyone they want? Why don't they take a look in the mirror before creating trouble in Great Ming?"

His gaze landed on the eight family heads as he continued, "If that bastard must kill someone, it is better to kill some useless individuals that nobody will notice. Why bother trying to kill elites like us? How stupid is that? Perhaps...that Invincible is the old man of one of these useless individuals?"

"Cough."

One of the family heads helplessly said, "Prefect Zhu, it is pointless to say all that. If we really know who that person is, we wouldn't have been so helpless. You know how difficult it is to find this person. Please understand us. Yes, we admit our mistake for failing to prevent the attack in time. But there are words that you should stop saying as it won't benefit anyone but our enemies."

"That makes sense. Old Zhao is indeed the smart one." Zhu Tiandao said, "See? Isn't it simple? Just admit it when you do something wrong. Why remain stubborn when everyone knows what's going on? So? How long will the eight families take to deal with the Six-Winged Divine Sect?"

Before the old man could finish, Zhu Tiandao said, "Three months? Are you really that useless? Are you really going take that long to complete the job?"

"..."

The old man from the Zhao Family sighed and said, "One month. Each of the eight families will send a Sunmoon for this mission. The eight Sunmoons will search the world and find their main stronghold before killing all their higher ups within one month. That is our answer to the world."

"That's more like it." Zhu Tiandao said, "Keep Feng Ji and Chen Yong alive as well. I'll have Old Hou join your group. Don't even think of playing any tricks. What are you looking at? I'm speaking about you! Don't try anything funny. You guys are free to do whatever you want to the Xia Family, but Chen Yong and Feng Ji have nothing to do with the Xia Family. I honestly don't care, but they are the martial uncles of Great Ming's golden goose. I have no choice but to care for them as well. If they end up dead and my golden goose runs away in sorrow, are you guys going to compensate me? Each family only needs to pay me thirty million merit points for my loss. If you agree, I can even cancel this request."

Not giving the others any chance to speak, he said, "In that case, we have a deal. Thirty million per family. That's alright, I suppose. I'll get around two hundred million merit points in total. You guys can do whatever you want."

Both Great Han King and Silk Destroying King stayed silent.

Someone else said, "Now that we're on this topic, let's talk about Su Yu as well. I've learned of what happened. He achieved the grand cycle body forging, triggering the laws of the ancient Human Emperor..."

"Hahaha!" Zhu Tiandao roared with laughter and said, "Holy shit. You fools...you guys are truly as dumb as the cult."

The others blanked out.

Zhu Tiandao's body rocked back and forth as he laughed, "Don't tell me you really think that the phenomenon is real? Do you think the cult Sunmmons just happened to be in the city at the same time? Do you think they are so stupid? Grand cycle body forging? Human Emperor? Where are your brains?"

"Come!"

A Mountainsea entered the hall.

"Show everyone how stupid they are. Pick a random person and send them a blessing."

"Yes."

The Iron Cavalry expert left before returning with a Skysoar.

"Alright. Start forging your body." Zhu Tiandao said, "Let these fools see how impressive Great Ming's special effects are."

The Skysoar did not say anything and started forging his body. A Skysoar was capable of multiple body forgings. He circulated his source qi in accordance with his body forging art. Right after a round of circulation, the sky changed.

Several golden clouds appeared in the sky. Next, the cloud changed into the following words: Forge your body everyday and receive a blessing everyday.

Those words dropped from the sky and engulfed the Skysoar. The overjoyed Skysoar hurriedly absorbed the heavenly source qi within those words. Before long, a layer of golden light appeared around his body as well. The others were completely stunned, including people like Administrator Hu.

Holy shit!

Fake?

Both Great Han King and Silk Destroying King blanked out as well. They had also heard about the phenomenon.

But the phenomenon was fake?

It was produced by Great Ming? They had fooled everyone?

With a pensive look, Great Han King said, "The Zhu Family sure has a lot of heavenly source qi if you're generous enough to create fake phenomena with it."

Zhu Tiandao laughed and said, "You have to spend to earn more. It's only heavenly source qi. In return, we got nine Sunmoons. That is a worthy trade."

"Hahaha!" Zhu Tiandao said, "I thought everyone would realize the truth after the deaths of those Sunmoons. But...there are actually quite a lot of fools here in the two holy lands. Hahaha! I only want to say that please don't lose your brain while cultivating. Why would we let Su Yu forge his body in public without any preparation? I thought anyone with a brain could see through the ploy. But instead...hahahaha...this is too funny!"

He continued laughing madly. The expressions of many people turned ugly. Screw this guy! Who would know that it was fake? The whole thing created such a big ruckus! Furthermore, they weren't even there in person! According to the reports they received, the phenomenon was a very big deal. But in the end...it was fake?

Holy shit!

Where did Great Ming get the heavenly source qi to do that? Had they been keeping their heavenly source fruits unused all these years? The person who had spoken earlier had an ugly expression. He felt humiliated. But there was nothing he could say.

It was fake.

Holy shit!

He swore to not believe anything he didn't see with his own eyes anymore. That damn Great Ming.

Zhu Tiandao said, "Remember to not leak this. In truth, we won't be able to bait more Sunmoon cultists with the same trick anymore. Otherwise, I would have prepared a few other phenomena for the other realms as well. For example, we can have the Human Emperor send another blessing for a Cloudbreach breakthrough or have the myriad races offer a congratulatory message for a Mountainsea breakthrough. I wonder if I can pull this off one more time."

Silence enveloped the hall.

Damn it! First, this fellow claimed that Great Ming was nearly destroyed. Then, he claimed that it was a trap all along. Was he playing everyone here for a fool? This was infuriating!

"How about Su Yu's grand cycle acupoints?"

Zhu Tiandao answered, "That's true. He opened 360 acupoints. Or was it 350? I'm not sure. It doesn't matter. Opening so many acupoints isn't necessarily a good thing. As for how he did it...well, just spend a lot of money. It's really that simple. If you wish to have your genius juniors open so many acupoints as well, go ahead. We won't stop you."

He sounded completely nonchalant. That was nothing. Since the phenomenon was fake, why did the number of acupoints matter? They were free to open that many acupoints if they wanted.

As for Administrator Hu and the others, they were starting to doubt the world.

Holy shit!

It was fake.

Had all of them been played for a fool? But...that sense of oppression was truly scary. It felt incomparably real. How was that fake? Had Great Ming reached such a high level of skill in special effects production? They felt gloomy.

Great Han King was also feeling very speechless. Silk Destroying King rolled his eyes and said, "If it's fake, it's fake. It's enough to do it once for Su Yu. We never have enough heavenly source fruits in the Human Realm. Can't you use fake heavenly source qi for the demonstration instead? Why waste so much heavenly source qi for the body forging of a Skysoar? What a waste."

He said, "Back then, your elder brother was forced to use blood essence to complete his Source Opening due to a lack of heavenly source fruits and died miserably. But now, you're actually wasting heavenly source fruits for something like this? What an unfilial son!"

Zhu Tiandao could only say, "Su Yu told me he might be able to discover the source soul acupoint. If he succeeded, we wouldn't need any heavenly source fruits to complete the Source Opening process anymore. Thus, I thought it would be fine to waste some heavenly source fruits..."

The others were tired of listening to him.

Silk Destroying King asked, "So did he discover the source soul acupoint?"

"Not yet."

"And you still trust him?"

"Of course." Zhu Tiandao said, "He's great. The Double Wu Acupoint Fusion Art, Source Soul Cultural Art, Pure Source Art, Soul Devouring Art, and the coming Source Soul Acupoint Opening Art are all excellent cultivation methods. He also said that he would be able to discover the source soul acupoint within a few years. How can I not trust him?"

He insisted that he had wasted his heavenly source fruits because of his trust. Wasn't that an incredible kid?

"Su Yu..."

Great Han King said, "I took a look at both the Double Wu Acupoint Fusion Art and Source Soul Cultural Art. Both of them are good cultivation methods..."

Zhu Tiandao beamed, "You think so as well? What a pity that the Knowledge Seeking Realm has been silent despite his contributions. How disappointing. Back then, even the creator of the garbage Myriad Text Sutra received two body forging slots and a promotion to senior researcher. But now...hehehe. I guess there's no point talking about this. This is all the Knowledge Seeking Realm amounts to. Su Yu is a nobody. Of course you don't care about him. It's fine. Great Ming will give him what he deserves."

Upon hearing that, Great Han King looked at the eight families. One of them said, "The cultivation methods have just started distribution. We have yet to see the actual effects of these cultivation methods. In fact, we're already in discussion about his reward."

Silk Destroying King laughed and said, "That's too troublesome. Su Yu? The War Shrine will offer him one body forging slot and one chance to cultivate in the War Shrine. Oh, he will receive access to the War God Pavillion. He can also join the War God Academy to pursue his studies. This offer will remain effective for ten years."

Zhu Tiandao's face turned unsightly.

Screw that!

This bastard was trying to steal his prize!

Dream on!

Despite his thoughts, he said, "Thank you, Silk Destroying King. If Su Yu is unable to come, I hope that the War Shrine will agree to a replacement that he sends. After all, some researchers don't care about something like this. Instead, they love sharing what they have with others. For example, Su Yu's father might appreciate this offer..."

It was that simple. Su Yu himself would never come. Who knew if he would still return after coming here? The War Shrine could have his father instead. His father was quite impressive. He was an Infinite Strength cultivator with thirty-six acupoints. He was actually quite decent. They should never underestimate him.

Zhu Tiandao was greatly pleased with himself. This was such a good idea. Su Yu would definitely feel grateful after learning about this. He would be glad to send his father to the War Shrine. That would be a much safer place to be.

In fact, that was probably the safest place he could be at. Anyone daring to perform an assassination in the War Shrine would instantly provoke multiple Invincibles. After all, the War Shrine was the headquarters of multiple Invincibles.

Silk Destroying King was left completely speechless. Screw this! This damn kid of Old Zhu was getting less and less adorable nowadays! This fatty was so cute when he was younger!

Silk Destroying King still remembered how he used to flick Young Fatty Zhu's little birdie for fun back then. This fatty was no longer as fun nowadays.
