Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 2146: Reunion Of Siblings (1)

Su Yu felt a lot more relaxed after capturing Heavenly Overseer Marquis.

With this, those wishing to break the restriction and break through into Masters of Laws would have to find a different avenue. There were definitely more than one method to accomplish that, but could they do it? For example, they could follow Xing Yue's lead and go upstream until she was far enough to break the restriction.

Or they could follow Su Yu's lead and create their own world, becoming independent from the River of Time. They could also switch into the chaos dao. That would work as well.

In short, there were multiple methods to go around the current restriction. Heavenly Overseer Marquis was not the sole path forward. That was merely the most straightforward path.

With South Heavenly King and the others exploring the chaotic space to find a way to Chaos Mountain, Su Yu wasted no time. He had to take a look himself. There was certainly a path to the Chaos Mountain through the chaotic space, but he needed to check if it was safe to use.

Before long, Su Yu stepped into the chaotic space after a short message to Wan Tiansheng and the others.

***

At the same time.

Inside the River of Time.

Xing Yue, who had grown far stronger than before, continued onward. She didn't know the exact location of her elder brother, but she had a feeling she would see him soon.

It had been too many years. After becoming a death spirit, her strength was sealed and she lost a majority of her memories. And now, the time for them to meet again had finally arrived.

Xing Yue was excited, but she was also worried. At the instant of her resurrection, her bloodline had reacted, informing that his elder brother had suffered heavy injuries. How had he survived all these years?

Also, what exactly did Wen Yu encounter back then? (Wen = Culture)

Why did she disappear suddenly? Why did she fall into such a big danger that even Culture King and Martial King were forced to leave? That was the start of the subsequent chaos in the Myriad Realms.

Wen Yu. The Time Sage.

Also her childhood playmate.

Wen Yu was slightly younger than her, and the two had known each other for a very long time. They had been playmates even before the conquest. Eventually, she had died and lost her memories. She did not know of Wen Yu's fate after her death.

Of course, even as a death spirit, she wasn't completely clueless. She would hear about Wen Yu every now and then. Su Yu had seemingly inherited Time Sage's legacy, effectively making him Wen Yu's successor.

Xing Yue continued onward while thinking about all that. As a healer, he could probably buy Su Yu more time by healing Human Emperor and the others. Su Yu and his people had yet to grown enough to face all these Masters of Laws. But as time passed, despair started sinking in. Why was she still not there?

She wouldn't have been able to come this far without the token in her hand. But at this point, she had fully drained the token. She was only forcing her way forward by draining her life power.

As a healer, she wasn't one with too many tricks up her sleeve. She couldn't help but think of Su Yu. In the same position, Su Yu would probably have many methods to keep pushing forward. For some reason, he seemed incapable of running out of tricks.

"I won't be able to keep going for much longer. Before long, the currents will start pushing me back. That might result in serious injuries. The restriction might seal my cultivation off again, and I might even die. This will render my resurrection pointless."

Furthermore, her death would also break Su Yu's life and death daos. Numerous thoughts emerged in Xing Yue's mind as her despair intensified. Was she still not there? She had gone beyond her elder brother's seal. Why was she still not there? Just how far away were they?

Was Su Yu even right? According to Su Yu, Human Emperor and the others were somewhere upstream. Was that true? What if they weren't upstream?

As exhaustion set in, Xing Yue suddenly heard a voice, "Who is it?"

She stirred.

Was there someone here?

She stared ahead and saw numerous massive daos. The stretch of river ahead of her was different from the other parts of the river. It had solidified, turning into a piece of land.

Understanding dawned on Xing Yue. By solidifying this stretch of river, their return could be delayed. This was how they had fought for so many years. This stretch of river had been locked away to prevent everyone from leaving.

Suddenly, three incomparably powerful auras surged. This was the rear of the army. In short, there was a defensive perimeter here as well. The perimeter was set up to prevent surprise attacks from behind them and desertion of their own people.

Who was the newcomer?

Xing Yue was greatly shocked to see the owners of the three auras. The three were just as shocked. Someone had appeared behind them! This signified that they weren't so far from the Myriad Realms anymore. Before long, their timeline would realign with the Myriad Realms'. When that happened, the seal would lose its effect.

When the timeline realigned, everyone in this stretch of river would be able to leave freely. At present, they still couldn't move freely out of the river.

Sure, they could tear a rift in space to leave, but nobody knew where that would lead them. Perhaps they would find themselves somewhere in the chaotic space and spend forever roaming the chaotic space to find a way back.

The two parties stared at each other. Of the three, two were men and one was a woman. All three looked incomparably old. It was likely that they used to maintain youthful appearances.

But after so many years of fighting, they could no longer spare the effort to retain their youthful appearances. With the constant loss of their life force and dao powers, the three looked elderly.

All three frowned as they looked at Xing Yue. One of them was a man with long, green hair. He frowned as he looked at the familiar face before him. He couldn't recall who this person was, but that was indeed a familiar face. It had been too long since he last saw this face.

Xing Yue had died a long time ago. In fact, she had died for so long that some of the human kings didn't even know her. She was one of the human powerhouses during the earliest days of their conquest.

Xing Yue was also looking at them. Of the three, two were unfamiliar faces, but the green-haired man was someone she could recognize with one look. Looking at his aged appearance with a complicated expression, she called out, "Profound Sky General."

What an ancient title.

It had been too long since that title was uttered by someone.

Profound Sky General.

The old man blanked out slightly before recalling something.

Ancient memories were returning to him.

He recalled a scene from many, many years ago. That day, a bashful young lady standing behind the Human Emperor had greeted him, calling him Profound Sky General.

He still remembered that bashful smile.

"Your Highness..."

The old man seemingly lost control of his emotions as he exclaimed, "Are you...really here? This...isn't possible! Her Highness died in battle! Who are you? Speak! Who are you?"

Her highness was dead. She had died before the completion of the conquest. She had died to an assassination. She was someone who would visit the military camps to heal their injured soldiers every now and then. And she had died at the eve of their victory.

Almost all the veteran soldiers from that period had died. Not many could remember those days.

Xing Yue was dead. She had been dead for many years.

"It's me." Xing Yue spoke with a complicated tone, "I resurrected, Profound Sky General."

"Impossible!"

Seeing that the old man was getting agitated, the woman beside him called out, "Profound King."

Instantly, the man regained his calm.

His eyes turned frosty as he asked again, "Who are you?"

How dare someone wear the face of her highness after so many years?

Xing Yue said with resignation, "It's really me. I'm Xing Yue. I resurrected."

Seeing that the man was still looking at her with disbelief, she said, "I can't remember when it happened. It was probably around the time you attacked the western lands of Human Realm. Once, an arrow shot right through your...uhm...thigh. I healed you back then. Do you remember?"

As the man recalled that event, his gaze turned odd. Seeing that he was not saying anything, Xing Yue grew urgent and continued, "Yes, the arrow was aimed at your thigh, but it missed slightly and came out of your ass instead. I didn't want to help you due to the awkward position, but my elder brother told me to pretend it's a slab of pork. That was how he convinced me to help you with that..."

"..."

Finally, Profound King's expression changed as he exclaimed with disbelief, "Are you really...her highness?"

"It's me."

Xing Yue continued with resignation, "If you still doubt me, I can try to think of more things to tell you..."

"No. It's fine."

Profound King hurriedly stopped her.

Alas, Xing Yue continued, "Right, back when you attacked the southwest, a poisonous bug bit you. You were dying when you met me. And you...you begged me to find you a woman as your dying wish. You claimed that with a woman by your side, you would die a happy man. But after I healed you, you pretended you never said that. Do you remember, General?"

"..."

Profound King's expression turned stiff as he denied, "No, I don't remember that happening. You must have mixed things up, Your Highness."

Not giving her the chance to say more, he shouted, "Her Highness has returned!"

His voice boomed out. The truth didn't matter anymore. He had to get His Majesty here and stop her from saying more. Nope. That was definitely not his history. She must have gotten him mixed up with someone else.

Meanwhile, the two powerhouses beside him were looking at him with odd gazes. Profound Sky General. That was indeed his title a long time ago. Most had forgotten that after he was appointed the Profound King. More importantly, was she speaking the truth?

Two fatal injuries. In one of them, he had his ass punctured. In the other, he asked for a woman as his dying wish. Was that really Profound King?

In their eyes, Profound King was a dependable big brother. He had always been serious and earnest. He was one of the veteran subordinates of Human Emperor, one of the few who had survived till this day. The rest of the survivors were mostly human kings, such as the Four Cardinal Kings.

And now, someone was telling them that this dependable big brother of theirs had a different side to him.

The burly man beside Profound King asked through voice transmission, "Profound King, who...is this?"

Her highness?

It had been a long time since they last heard such a form of address. As the Human Emperor was without descendants, that form of address was rarely used. Who was this? Was this person related to his majesty?

Right at that moment, numerous willpower figures manifested around them. And then, someone exclaimed in shock, "Xing Yue?"

Xing Yue looked at the voice and saw nobody. However, the willpower fluctuations felt familiar. She asked uncertainly, "Radiant General Zhu?"

"It's really you!"

The voice asked with excitement, "Is Old Wen back? Have you returned to life?" (Wen = Culture)

Radiant King continued, "Your...elder brother is patrolling the front line. He'll be back soon."

Then, he arrived in person. He had the appearance of a refined and handsome middle-aged man. He was slightly chubby, but that did not detract from his good looks. A look of overwhelming shock covered his face as he exclaimed again, "Xing Yue! It's really you! You're really back to life!"

With a complicated gaze, Xing Yue said, "You have aged, General Zhu."
