Chapter 2076: Everything Is Ready (3)
Su Yu, who was still working on the barrier, could see the entire realm brightening up.
The previously gloomy and dark realm was suddenly filled with light. Then, countless plants sprouted from the ground, while numerous roads started snaking all over the realm. Building after building was built, while all the ancient cities settled down in their respective positions.
He watched everything with a satisfied smile on his face. This might not be the Human Realm, but it might turn into a better living space after all their work on it.
Great Zhou King was creating source qi rains all over the realm.
Great Xia King and Great Qin King were stationing the military all over the realm.
Great Ming King was laying down formations everywhere with a group of formation experts.
Everyone was in a great mood.
And eventually, Su Yu was done with the barrier. The barrier wasn't as tough as he'd like, but it was enough to ensure a stable connection between the River of Time and this realm. However, he still needed to do something about the end of the little tributary between the hole and the realm.
Human Emperor had left the end of his dao as a massive waterfall, allowing numerous dao powers to fall into the world below without affecting anyone. But that wasn't something Su Yu was capable of.
His gaze landed on Fat Ball.
Fat Ball, who was slowly wagging his tail, noticed the gaze. Having realized something, he looked at the abrupt end of the tributary and asked, "Are you...thinking of placing Master's home there?"
Su Yu smiled.
That was a wide and bright smile.
"Yes. I wish to place Culture King's Residence at the end of the tributary, stabilizing the entire tributary with it. With the residence there, we can prevent an overflow of the water from the river. At the same time, this tributary is much weaker. After moving the residence here, even that big wood can leave the residence easily."
The waterfall in the main branch of the River of Time was too intense. Thus, Culture King's Residence was always at risk of being washed away. But the residence was powerful enough to stay stable all on its own here. It would serve well as a dam here. By moving the residence here, they could essentially hit two birds with one stone.
Fat Ball said with a sad tone, "But after we move the house away, Master won't be able to find his way back anymore."
Su Yu smiled and said, "Your master and the others won't be back yet. He will naturally know where his house is when I bring them back. We can't keep leaving the house back in the Human Realm. I'm worried about its stability."
With Culture King's Residence moved, he would have nothing left in the Human Realm. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Fat Ball gave it a long thought. Finally, he answered with a pitiful expression, "Fine. Let's move it here. But we must move it back in the future!"
"Of course."
Everything would be fine as long as Fat Ball was fine with it. With this, he could finally start the next step of his plan: moving Culture King's Residence.
"Lan Tian, keep the end stable for now. I'll take a trip back to the Human Realm to move Culture King's Residence. Heavenbridge, teleport me back."
With Heavenbridge Marquis around, Su Yu couldn't be bothered to move the old-fashioned way. Having reached the second tier, Heavenbridge Marquis' teleportation capabilities had improved significantly, allowing him to teleport someone through the realm barrier easily.
Heavenbridge Marquis did not argue. He had been very obedient lately. After the little episode where he said something wrong not long ago, he had been keeping his mouth shut. He had also been obeying Su Yu unconditionally.
Since Su Yu was calling for his teleportation, he would naturally do it without any questions.

Human Realm.
Su Yu was back.
This time, he couldn't be bothered to meet anyone. Instead, he went straight to the Starfall Mountain before moving through the waterfall.
Su Yu did not know the exact location of Culture King's Residence in the river. He had roamed the River of Time many times, but he had yet to discover Culture King's Residence in the river.
Then again, that did not matter as he could easily reach Culture King's Residence through the opening in the Human Realm."
"An opening..."
Suddenly, Su Yu blanked out.
Yes, an opening. freewёbnoνel.com
There was an opening in the Human Realm. Had Culture King dug a hole in the river as well? Was the so-called waterfall actually a hole dug by Culture King in the River of Time?
The flowers in Culture King's Residence looked as pretty as ever. At present, the residence was only guarded by a gigantic tree. With a wave of Su Yu's hand, a token shot into his palm.
The appearance of the glowing token had changed. With one look, Su Yu saw that the token had grown much stronger than before. It was already near the level of Xing Yu's token.
One should not underestimate Xing Yu's token. It was something forged by Human Emperor during the peak of humanity. Even though Human Emperor had forged a new token after conquering the Myriad Realms, Xing Yu's token was still not something to be underestimated.
And now, Su Yu's token was slowly catching up to Xing Yu's token. That was no simple feat as Su Yu's era was one without a single Master of Law. The current humanity was nothing compared with the humanity of Human Emperor's era.
"Has the fortune of the other races been mixed within the token as well?"
He could sense the inclusion of the fortune from several other races in the token. That was probably the biggest difference between Xing Yu's token and Su Yu's token.
Behind him, the white dog was looking around with reluctance. He said, "Fat Ball, we're moving the entire place. You can still see this place every day. You should be looking at the outside with reluctance instead. Perhaps the scenery outside will change completely after this."
Yes. Fat Ball was displaying his reluctance to the wrong thing.
This house, this courtyard, and even the garden here would all be moved away. They weren't here to pack some things up before leaving. Why was Fat Ball behaving like he was going to part with the residence?
At that, Fat Ball stared at Su Yu blankly. After a while, he nodded. True! That seemed to be the case! They were going to move the entire thing away. He would still be staying in the same house. Only the scenery outside would change.
Fat Ball said, "True. Only Tea Plant's bathroom is changing after this. We should've brought Tea Plant with us. I wonder if she'll like her new bathroom..."
Su Yu laughed in amusement.
But suddenly, he said, "Wait, am I neglecting something?"
Fat Ball looked at him doubtfully. What was it?
"Tea Plant has been cleaning herself in the river all along, right?"
"Yes."
Fat Ball replied matter-of-factly. Su Yu blanked out again. He had not given this matter much thought prior to this.
Most of the time, Tea Plant presented herself as a little girl. At times, she would even play around with Lan Tian in his girl form. Su Yu had never paid much attention to her. But now, a certain realization was hitting him.
The River of Time was not a bathtub. He still recalled how Fat Ball had said that Tea Plant was taking a bath in the river. At the time, Su Yu had only gasped in admiration, but he hadn't thought too much about it.
But now, he was already well aware of how destructive the water of the river could be. One could stay in the water for a short time, but staying for an extended time would definitely get dangerous. The myriad daos could come together to revert into chaos. And the tea plant had seemingly been grown directly from the River of Time.
With that in mind, Su Yu asked, "Was the tea plant grown in the river back then?"
"Yes."
Fat Ball nodded and continued staring at Su Yu with an odd expression. He had already told Su Yu about this before. He had explained the origin of the tea leaves during their very first meeting.
Su Yu gasped and said, "In short, Tea Plant can grow by directly absorbing the water from the River of Time?"
"Yes."
Su Yu said, "Why didn't you mention this earlier?"
"I did!"
Fat Ball had a wronged expression. He had clearly mentioned it before! During their first meeting, he had said that the tea plant was grown in the River of Time by his master and little master. Since she was planted there, it was only natural to assume that she grew through the absorption of the water from the river. Wasn't that common sense?
Was he supposed to mention every single tiny detail?
How unreasonable.
Su Yu was left without a retort. "You...fine. Clearly, Culture King and Time Sage loved creating weird things. Soy Bun is a dao spirit. The book spirit is a book that has attained the dao. Heavenly Overseer Marquis is a luck spirit. Fortunately, both you and the big wood are still relatively normal."
And without a doubt, the tea plant did not fall in the normal spectrum.
Suddenly, Su Yu asked, "Did Tea Plant attain her dao walking the path of chaos?"
"Uh..."
Noticing the white dog staring at him again, Su Yu smiled bitterly and asked, "Have I not been paying enough attention? Is Tea Plant actually from the ancient chaos beast lineage? Or the ancient chaos plant lineage, to be precise?" "I never thought much about it since she has been walking around as a little girl. It's not like she has ever needed much attention from me since she has Book Spirit to guide her. She must be a cultivator of the chaos dao, right?"
He would know after taking a good look at her.
If that were the case, she would be a chaos dao expert instead of a myriad dao expert.
Fat Ball blinked before answering, "I think so. What about it? Even the chaos dao is a dao."
"It's different." Su Yu explained, "The chaos dao...no, we'll talk more after this. If Tea Plant really cultivates the chaos dao, she could theoretically go beyond the level of a Venerable."
Su Yu did not say more. He left through the rear court and stepped onto the river. This was his first time here. When he looked around, he noted that it was indeed a stretch of the river he had never been to.
From the outside, he could see that Culture King's Residence was wrapped in a bubble of light as it stood atop the river.
"Let's go."
With a roar, Su Yu released Xing Yu's token and suppressed the waves of the river. Then, he sent the Mark of Civilization to the bottom of the river. Slowly, the entire residence was lifted from the river.
It was quite heavy. But it was also incomparably durable. It was able to withstand the waves just fine.
The white dog started looking at the river with reluctance as he said, "Tea Plant is going to lose her bathroom. Can she really get used to a new bathroom?"
Since he couldn't feel sad about losing the residence, he had decided to feel sad about losing Tea Plant's bathroom instead.
After all, everything else would remain the same.
Hearing Fat Ball's words, Su Yu chuckled. Then, he roared again and tore a rift in the air. Next, he emerged outside the river.
When he reappeared outside with the residence, the waterfall had vanished. He looked around with a complicated expression. This was a place where Culture King once dug a hole.
Right here.
The so-called waterfall was essentially a hole dug in the River of Time.
Since Culture King had done something like this, he could have pioneered a dao as well. But where was his dao?
"Looks like Culture King was indeed a super expert. As expected from the elder brother of someone like Time Sage."
Fat Ball looked at Su Yu with confusion. Why was Su Yu so surprised about that? It was only natural that his master was better than his little master.
Su Yu laughed and said, "I originally believed that Human Emperor must be far stronger since he was a Creator. But his Creation was incomplete. If Culture King had completed his Creation enough that he could freely move it around...who was the stronger between the two?"
These ancient powerhouses were all incredibly mysterious. Each time he thought about them, he would feel as though they were all wrapped in a thick shroud of enigma.
With the residence lifted beside him, Su Yu ordered, "Teleport."
Immediately, Heavenbridge Marquis manifested a massive gate. With one step into the gate, Su Yu vanished from the Human Realm.
Slowly, silence returned to Starfall Mountain.
With the waterfall vanishing, all traces of Culture King's Residence vanished from the mountain.
***
Boom!
With a rumble, an ancient residence landed at the end of the tributary.
The water from the tributary rushed against the residence, but it remained completely unaffected.
It was terrifyingly tough.
Here, the residence no longer needed any help to stabilize itself. After all, a mere tributary was not comparable to the main branch of the river.
With this, the miniature River of Time in the Celestial Chasm Realm was finally completed.
The arrival of the residence created a bizarre sight in the realm. The tributary itself was not visible to the naked eye. However, the residence was big enough that it was visible from the outside.
Thus, a large, floating residence could be seen from all corners of the Celestial Chasm Realm.
There was nothing Su Yu could do about this. The tributary he created was too small to contain the entirety of the residence. He had to enlarge the tributary to hide the residence, but that would require too much effort.
This would do for now.
At this point, the transformation of the Celestial Chasm Realm was as good as done. Moving forward, they only needed to seal the entrance, preventing movement in and out of the realm.
Su Yu would be the only one capable of opening the entrance after that. Through this, they would be able to fully separate the living and the dead.
Suddenly, Su Yu looked at Heavenbridge Marquis. Looking at Heavenbridge Marquis' confused expression, he smiled.
"The eighth level of the Luminous Domain Mansion can't be accessed without you. Am I right to assume that you have consumed the original connection between the seventh and eighth levels? Why don't you do the same here? Make it so that nobody can move in and out without your gate."
Heavenbridge Marquis said, "Me? But what if I die?"
"Will the connection disappear with your death?"
"I don't know." Heavenbridge Marquis shook his head. "Maybe. Or maybe it will return where it was."
"It doesn't matter." Su Yu said, "At worst, we'll think of something after you're dead. We can always open a new connection or exit through that hole in the sky."
Su Yu did not think that the connection would disappear completely. Having received his order, Heavenbridge Marquis moved to do as told. Next, Su Yu called the Hou Pseudo Emperor over. He intended to take the hous on a trip to the River of Time in search for a suitable dao for them.
About twenty days had passed since he departed the Upper Realm. He had yet to decide on a location to attempt his dao pioneering, but he had to first get all these minor tasks done before moving forward with his attempt.
He was unsure how long the attempt would take.
