Chương 145: Secret

"Xiao Yao, untie him." Richard smiled as he watched Su Yu hopping around. Now he couldn't bend his legs and could only hop like a zombie.

"Okay, Father." Xiao Yao raised her hand. The tree branch binding Su Yu quickly turned into an ordinary tree branch, which Su Yu broke off.

"Gentlemen, how about giving me and this young man some time?" Richard asked the human kings.

His gaze was fixed on Su Yu.

Su Yu's heart tightened. What did this person want with him? Could they really be after his pamphlet?

Wan Tiansheng frowned, about to stop him.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to harm this young man. I won't take his things either; they already have an owner. I'm not that despicable, so please rest assured."

"Then I'll go with this senior," Su Yu said calmly. What's meant to happen can't be avoided. With this senior's strength, if he really wanted to take it, who in the entire Human Realm could stop him?

"Don't worry, don't be nervous. We won't steal anything from you. It's just the Time Master's recipe, isn't it?" Richard said to Su Yu as they walked to the side.

"Does the senior know the origin of this booklet?" Su Yu's spirits lifted, and he quickly asked.

Now he truly believed that this person wouldn't try to steal it.

"I know, the recipe of the ancient Time Master. The Time Master: King Wen's sister," he said.

"So what's their situation now? Why did this booklet end up in my hands?" Su Yu had too many questions in his mind, and seeing that someone could help answer them, he quickly asked.

"Their situation is indeed not good, and they need you to grow up quickly and help them."

"Yes, not only King Wen and his men, but also the Human Emperor, are waiting for you to lead your men to rescue him."

Richard patted Su Yu on the shoulder and said.

Su Yu was indeed having a tough time; none of his seniors were reliable, and they were all waiting for him to bail them out.

"Me? Senior, you really think too highly of me," Su Yu said with a self-deprecating laugh. He had already made himself so disliked by all the races that even the human realm dared not return openly. How could he possibly have the ability to save King Wen and the Human Emperor?

"Young people, don't underestimate yourselves. Work hard, the future belongs to you," Richard said jokingly, as if he were a leader giving a speech.

"With your strength, wouldn't rescuing them be a piece of cake?" Su Yu asked tentatively.

"Me? I'm not a human from your world, and I don't owe the Human Emperor and King Wen any karma. I'm too lazy to save them."

"This is your own fault, you're in for it." Richard glanced at him and said.

He knew this guy was testing him, but what could he do when he thought the guy was alright?

Fine, let them test the waters if they want.

"What do you mean by saying they're not from our world? Are there other human races outside?" Su Yu asked.

"The myriad realms are infinitely vast, and no one can count how many worlds there are. Of course, I'm not talking about the myriad realms where your myriad races live, but the myriad realms beyond the Chaos," Richard explained to Su Yu.

"What brings you here, senior?" Su Yu wondered.

"It doesn't seem to be anything particularly important, just wanted to let you know in private. By the way, I think the Iron-Eating Beast clan is quite nice. I'm planning to go to their clan and ask if I can keep a couple," Richard said.

"Uh, what does the Iron-Eating Beast clan have to do with me?" Su Yu asked, puzzled.

"It won't be long before it becomes relevant. At your rate of growth, you will soon become the emperor revered by all of humanity."

"The Iron-Eating Beasts are traditional allies of the human race in this world. With you in charge, I should be able to re-establish an alliance with them, so I'm informing you beforehand," Richard said.

"Senior really thinks highly of me. I am the emperor revered by all of humanity." Su Yu felt that this senior was just fooling him. One minute he was asking him to save King Wen and the Human Emperor, and the next minute he was saying that he would become the Human Emperor.

He was a three-year-old child.

"Since you are so knowledgeable about ancient times, could you tell me what exactly happened during the time of the Human Emperor? Why does our Human Realm lack the power of domain suppression? Why are all the other races hostile to the Human Race?"

Su Yu thought that he might as well ask questions while the senior was in a good mood.

"Oh, I can tell you about this."

In the ancient era of the Human Emperor, under his leadership, the human race swept across all races, unified the heavens, and was revered by all races.

Therefore, the Human Emperor abolished the Human Realm's oppressive power over all races, making it easier for all races to come and pay homage to the Human Realm.

Later, the Time Master was tricked, and King Wen and King Wu rushed to the Heavenly Gate to rescue him.

At this time, all races seized the opportunity to rebel, and the Prison King, one of the four kings of the human race, rebelled.

Although the ancient human race had many rulers who were granted the title of king, the most important and strongest among them were the Four Supreme Human Kings: King Wen, King Wu, King Yu, and King Ming.

The Human Emperor was severely injured, and he realized that someone was plotting behind the scenes. So he led his men to seal the Lord of the Rules of All Races in the upper reaches of the River of Time.

They were stalling for time, waiting for King Wen to return or for someone from later generations to break the deadlock.

In ancient times, the Human Emperor and King Wen were the most special. Their strength had surpassed that of a first-class Ruler, reaching the level of a Super Ruler. The person behind the scenes dared not allow them to develop unchecked and could only slow down their progress in this way.

Richard introduced Su Yu to the old stories of the ancient human emperor era, which broadened his horizons.

"Senior, are you saying the Prison King rebelled? He's already one of the Four Extreme Human Kings, why would he rebel?" Su Yu asked. As for things like First-Class Rule Masters and Super-Class Rule Masters, they were still too far away for him.

"The Prison Queen is the daughter of the Ancestor of Humanity. The Ancestor of Humanity and the Emperor of Humanity have different stances. Furthermore, the traitors within your ranks are also descendants of the Prison Queen," Richard explained.

"The Prison King is a woman?" Su Yu's eyes widened. He had always thought the Prison King was a man.

"She has descendants? And with whom?" Su Yu continued gossiping.

"The Demon Clan, the Flame Demon Emperor," Richard said.

"Who is that traitor? Is the death of my polytheistic lineage's ancestor Ye Batian related to him?" Su Yu finally asked the core question.

"The Forbidden King even impersonated Ye Batian and beat up the Burning Sea King, which led to the Burning Sea King's later betrayal."

"That's fucking despicable." Su Yu couldn't help but curse.

"You can verify these things yourself at your own pace," Richard said.

I don't expect them to believe me directly.

Originally, they planned to use the fake ruins of Nanyuan City to not only eliminate the spies of all races who had infiltrated the human realm, but also to lure out the Burning Sea King.

Now, because of Richard's interference, they failed to achieve their goal of luring out the traitor. So Richard directly informed them of the traitor's whereabouts.

Richard then left with Xiao Yao.

Having witnessed the long river of time, I must say that this Lord of Time certainly has some ideas.

The myriad realms of this world actually exist in reliance on the river of time.

It can be said that the River of Time is the foundation of this world's existence, equivalent to the core of Fang Ping's Second Origin in the post-High Martial Era.

All the paths opened up by other powerful beings through the River of Time are actually beneficial to the development and growth of the River of Time.

At the same time, their understanding of the Dao was also unilaterally transparent to Li Hao, the master of the River of Time.

It's equivalent to the relationship between Richard and the powerful beings in his original world.

Unless one is a creator who establishes his own little world, he cannot transcend the outside world.

But how many creators have there been throughout the history of this world?

There are only a few: the Human Emperor, King Wen, Su Yu, the Time Master, and the Lord of the Dead.

As for the people behind the three gates, they are not considered indigenous people.

Next, Richard decided not to wander around the myriad worlds anymore, but to visit the Three Gates.

Originally, I came to this era only to experience time travel and observe the long river of time.

This goal has now been achieved.

So he planned to just wander around for a bit and then head back. He figured he could also get something else along the way.

First, enter the Heavenly Gate, where there are many rulers of rules left over from past eras.

Here, even the weakest are at the level of the Rule Master.

As rulers of the same rules, there are naturally differences in strength.

The weakest are the fifth-rank Rulers. Such beings are extremely rare, mostly because too many people have followed the same path, or perhaps the path they created was simply too weak.

For example, many powerful human beings in this world have chosen the path of physical cultivation. Although they have advanced to the level of Rule Master, because too many people share the power of this path, most of these Rule Masters are at the lowest level of the fifth rank.

The path of the physical body was originally considered a top-tier path. If only one person walked this path, it could even support a first-class rule master.

If we consider the Dao comprehended by the lowest-ranking fifth-level Rule Master as one Dao of power, then a being who normally reaches the fourth-level Rule Master typically possesses two Daos of power.

This is the level that most powerful beings who have achieved the Dao or opened the path can reach when they become masters of the rules.

The next level up, the third-tier Rule Master, requires four Paths of Power; the second-tier Rule Master requires eight Paths of Power; the first-tier Rule Master requires sixteen Paths of Power; and the super-tier Rule Master requires thirty-two Paths of Power.

It gets harder to improve as you go further.

Three of the four human kings were originally at the level of first-class rule masters, as were the emperors of great races such as immortals, demons, and gods.

The Time Master did not hold any position among the human race and was at the level of a first-class rule master, close to a super rule master, before disappearing.

Both King Wen and the Human Emperor were at the level of Supreme Rule Masters.

Later, the Prison King also advanced to the level of the Ruler.

The Heavenly Gate contains numerous forbidden areas and ordinary settlements.

The leaders of these forbidden forces are generally at the level of a Super Rule Master, or at the very least close to that level.

Ordinary gathering places are mostly places where rule masters of average strength band together for mutual support. They are generally at most second or third-tier rule masters.

Richard planned to take this opportunity to seek out those who followed special paths in ordinary gathering places. For example, emotions, or the light and darkness he lacked.

He should not miss out on the path he himself knows. The insights of these different rulers of rules into different directions of the law can also help him to draw inferences from one instance to another, and gain more in-depth and comprehensive understanding of the original law.

We won't touch any of the forbidden areas, lest Su Yu's development be hindered.
