Tribulation of Myriad Races-Chapter 1286: Become A Tool (1)

The people that had gathered around Grandstar City were there for various reasons. But as of that moment, all of them were stunned. Was this really possible? Did Su Yu really become Empyrean Cloud City's mayor as well? More importantly, had he released Empyrean Cloud from the city?

The indistinct silhouette amid the clouds continued releasing her presence upon the world below as she said, "The mayor of Empyrean Cloud Holy City has contributed to all living beings like never before. If you dare to attack him, you will be the enemy of all holy cities!"

Contributed to all living beings?

What?

Empyrean Cloud had naturally neglected to mention the fact that she considered her release the greatest of contributions. She did not care about the truth. Su Yu had helped with her suppression of the tunnel. Was that not a contribution? Was that not great? Was there a problem with that?

She looked around, taking note of every single expert in the area, hidden or not. She wished there was an Invincible around she could fight to her heart's content. She was itching for a fight. How many years had it been?

For so many years, she had been living like she was a prisoner. Even the death sovereign she watched enjoyed more freedom than her. At the very least, the death sovereign could leave the tunnel at times to kill some people.

But she couldn't.

Because of the laws.

If she left, death qi would start leaking uncontrollably out of the tunnel.

But now, that would not happen anymore. Su Yu alone was suppressing the death qi in the tunnel. She did not want to return so soon. She wanted to stay outside longer. In fact, she didn't even feel like returning.

She could only hope that someone would pick a fight with her. She wanted to fight. She needed to vent her feelings. She didn't want to return.

Heavendoom desperate voice rang out, "Su Yu! Come! Come here!"

"..."

Ahhhhhh!

He was losing his mind.

Why? Why must they treat him like that? Please! He wanted to leave as well! He really wanted to leave! First, it was Grandstar. Next, it was Empyrean Cloud. When would his turn arrive? He was the first stone statue Su Yu knew!

He roared madly, "Su Yu! Come here! If you come here, I'll kill Tian He and let you take his spot!"

Tian He's face fell.

Holy shit!

Was there a need for that?

Was there a point?

How could an ancient Invincible say something so shameless?

Meanwhile, the mayors of the Eternal Serenity and Openmountain Cities paled as a certain realization dawned on them. Was Su Yu the type of mayor the various stone statues wouldn't mind killing their existing mayors to get?

There was no need to doubt that anymore. Just look at how Empyrean Cloud had turned them into mincemeat without any mercy earlier. And their own stone statues had been completely silent about it.

In fact, their stone statues had ignored their plight. And since they weren't dead, not even a death spirit had appeared. They had simply received the beating for free. Heavendoom's roars further alarmed them. What was the meaning of that?

At that moment, more ancient cities appeared around them. Some had arrived earlier but had refrained from revealing themselves. Some had just arrived. The people in those ancient cities were similarly shocked by what they saw and heard.

Inside Empyrean Cloud City.

The green fox's jaw dropped. What happened?

Her mistress...attacked?

It wasn't even a big deal. The two mayors had merely given Su Yu a sort of verbal warning. Strictly speaking, Su Yu did not lose much to them. But just for that tiny slight, Empyrean Cloud had turned the two mayors into mincemeat right in their own ancient cities.

An intense envy swelled within the green fox. She had never felt so envious before. She felt so envious she wanted to roar in madness. She had served as a mayor for over a hundred years yet Empyrean Cloud had spoken to her less than ten times. Altogether, Empyrean Cloud had spoken less than fifty words to her.

Su Yu had just arrived. Wasn't it too soon for the stone statue to forget about her? Wasn't the special treatment too excessive?

Su Yu had just taken over yet the stone statue who had barely moved in perhaps tens of thousands of years had immediately moved for him. Even the mayors who were obediently staying in their own cities weren't safe from her.

Not even ancient cities were safe for them anymore.

For mayors like them, the ancient cities were their greatest reliance. But now, the stone statues were personally acting against that. This was a dangerous signal. It meant that not even ancient cities were safe anymore.

Nobody could be sure if the respected stone statue in the inner hall would suddenly give them a slap.

The entire Sea of Stars sank into silence after Empyrean Cloud's declaration.

Heavendoom was losing his mind.

He wanted to leave as well!

Just as he was going mad, someone appeared beside Empyrean Cloud.

Holy shit!

It was Grandstar! Alarmed, Empyrean Cloud hurriedly looked at her city. Was Su Yu fine? Why was Grandstar out? What was this?

Grandstar nonchalantly said, "It's fine. It's only the burden of two guardians. He's still in the city. Previously, both of us were in the Human Realm yet he was still fine. At the time, the burden on him was double the normal rate..."

In other words, he was merely withstanding the same burden he had withstood during his time in the Human Realm.

This was no big deal.

That was especially true since Su Yu was still in the ancient city.

Empyrean Cloud glanced at Grandstar questioningly. Why was this guy out?

Grandstar said nothing. Why else? For the same reason she was out.

To enjoy the sweet, sweet freedom—cough, to back Su Yu! Why else?

As he scanned his surroundings coldly, he said, "The alliance is an internal matter of the holy cities. Any outsider attempting to interfere will be killed without mercy."

He was trying very hard to show Su Yu how domineering and reliable he was.

The two stone statues hovered in the sky overbearingly. They did not look like they were going to return to their cities anytime soon. In fact, they were increasing the pressure on their surroundings, hoping that an opponent would appear for them to fight. It wouldn't be too late to return after enjoying a good fight.

After waiting arrogantly for a while, no challenger appeared. Grandstar was left quite speechless. Thus, he pushed on, "Eternal Serenity! Openmountain! Your mayors lack discipline. Because of that, Empyrean Cloud was forced to teach them a lesson. Do you object?"

He added one more sentence through voice transmission, "If you object, you can come out and fight us!"

"..."

Once again, silence descended.

The two stone statues trapped in their cities cussed endlessly in their minds.

They had the urge to kill someone.

Fight? Fight his ass!

Had they even said anything?

Yes, they were quite unhappy that their mayors had been beaten. But...they couldn't leave their cities! If they could leave, they would be more than happy to fight it out! Did Grandstar think that they fear him? Alas, they couldn't leave.

Clearly, those two were trying to find something to do. They couldn't keep staying outside their cities for no reason, right? Thus, they had to pick a fight somewhere.

This was not against the laws. Su Yu only needed to keep working hard on shouldering their burden for them.

***

Inside the city, Su Yu was stunned as well.

How...enthusiastic.

That Empyrean Cloud was way too enthusiastic to help him.

As for Grandstar, Su Yu rolled his eyes. Why was that fellow even out there?

There was also that Heavendoom. That guy had probably gone mad from envy. What a pitiful guy. Well, what could he do if Heavendoom wasn't as inviting as the others? It would be too embarrassing for him to offer his services without an invitation, right?

The two ancient Invincibles continued hovering in the sky, subjecting everyone below to their pressure. They looked ready to fight anyone with the courage to challenge Su Yu to the death. Many of the surrounding experts started fleeing in fear.

***

"Su Yu!"

A divine expert muttered as he shook his head with a sigh. All their hard work thus far had been rendered pointless. With the appearance of the two stone statues, could anyone still stop the alliance from happening?

Would those mayors still have the courage to stand in the way of the alliance? They would be fearful of sharing the fate of the two mayors who had opposed Su Yu or even worse.

Just how did Su Yu make this happen? Nobody could understand this. How did he make the two stone statues leave their cities? Was the price for that high? If the price was high, the stone statues wouldn't be able to leave their cities lightly.

These stone statues had grown a lot more active as of late.

One ancient city after another arrived. Before long, all thirty-five of them were there. Only the undersea city was absent. That was understandable since that was an empty city. The stone statue of that city was probably still unaware of this proposed alliance.

The thirty-five massive cities covered a large territory. The entrances of the nine realms were surrounded in the middle, leaving their experts to tremble with fear.

Inwardly, they were praying that the ancient cities leave them alone. They were even ready to give up on their plan to rebuild their island. Even the sole Invincible of the nine realms paled in fear at the realization that he had been surrounded by thirty-five stone statues.

This was too terrifying! He was horrified that the stone statues would suddenly decide to give the nine realms a punch each. That would be disastrous.

After flying around to make it clear that Su Yu was still his, Grandstar said, "The matter of holy cities will be handled by those from the holy cities. Do not force us to act."

Then, he returned to his city with a look of satisfaction. He had done enough to remind everyone that Su Yu was his. As for Empyrean Cloud City, he was only working there part-time. That city did not matter as much as his.

Empyrean Cloud wanted to keep staying outside, but she changed her mind after thinking about it. She had plenty of opportunities to come out in the future. Thus, she returned to her city as well.

Inside, she noted that Su Yu was still perfectly fine. In fact, Su Yu was fine enough to look around curiously. That discovery greatly pleased her. Sure enough, this was a good mayor. In that case, she could really leave the city at any time.

Good!

Su Yu was in a good mood as well. He hurriedly said, "Thank you, Lord Empyrean Cloud!"

Amazing.

It sure felt better to have a female boss. Grandstar was only good at acting all cool and mysterious. But when he was required to do something as simple as killing some Invincibles, he had to do it like a thief. Just look at Empyrean Cloud! She was overbearing enough to strike even the mayors in their own cities! Look at how overbearing she was!
