The Catalogue Page

Stepping out of the dead spirit realm, dusk had already fallen outside. The blood clouds had dispersed. So many Invincibles had perished, yet in the end, it seemed like nothing at all. The myriad realms would go on living and turning just the same, no matter who was missing. No matter how formidable a powerhouse was, once dead, they were nothing! Xinghong had also returned to his original post. At that moment, Elder Wang called out from outside the great hall, "City Lord!" "Enter!" Elder Wang swiftly entered the hall and reported, "City Lord, outside the city, the West Pavilion Master of the Hunting Heaven Pavilion requests an audience!" "The West Pavilion Master?" Su Yu raised an eyebrow slightly. He had thought this man had left or gone straight over to the human race. He truly hadn't expected him to seek him out here. "Invite him into the city!" The West Pavilion Master was a top powerhouse in his own right, possessing the strength of Eternity Stage Seven. During the earlier clash, he had stepped in to intercept the South Tower Master. Otherwise, Su Yu and Wan Tiansheng would have had to face two additional Eternity Stage Seven powerhouses, and neither Su Yu nor Wan Tiansheng would have been a match for them. At that point, their only option would have been opening the dead spirit passageway. And if it had opened then... King Zhi wouldn't have appeared later. Without King Zhi dead, even if they had killed the Hunting Heaven Pavilion members, the Immortal race might not have let matters rest. Thus, this man had played a significant role in the overall battle. Beside him, Wan Tiansheng said in a low voice, "I'll step outside first. Be careful. Although the possibility of a feigned defection is slim, it's best to be cautious. He is very strong—watch out for a sneak attack!" This was indeed something to guard against. Su Yu nodded. At his current stage, if an Eternity Stage Seven truly ambushed him without his Heaven Gate open, the chances of being assassinated were very high. "I'll be on guard!" Su Yu smiled. Just as he was about to say a few more words, Wan Tiansheng said gravely, "Do not place absolute trust in divine characters. I know you possess one that senses danger, but do not rely on it too heavily! If divine characters can foresee danger, they can naturally conceal it as well. You should know this!" Divine characters were not omnipotent! For every divine character, there might be one specifically countering it. Like "Calamity" and "Quiet." Su Yu had sometimes wondered whether, if those two divine characters belonged to different people, the "Quiet" character could mask a person's presence from the perception of the "Calamity" character. At this moment, Su Yu nodded. "I understand. I wouldn't dare be careless. One can't disregard divine characters, but neither can one rely on them entirely." "As long as you understand!" Wan Tiansheng said no more and quickly vanished from the hall. And Su Yu, after making some brief preparations, strode out of the hall. ... Outside the hall. A powerhouse wearing a golden mask walked over alongside Elder Wang. From a distance, Su Yu called out with a smile, "Pardon my manners! Xuan Division Elder Xuanjia of the Hunting Heaven Pavilion pays respects to the West Pavilion Master!" "I am no longer the West Pavilion Master! City Lord Su mocks me." The West Pavilion Master's voice was somewhat cold and distant. Su Yu smiled and said, "The Pavilion Master is mistaken! The Hunting Heaven Pavilion was the territory of our human race's King Wen. We are not traitors; the traitor is the Warden of Heaven! If we speak of the legitimate lineage of the Hunting Heaven Pavilion, it naturally belongs to us! You are still the Pavilion Master, and I... am naturally still an elder!" The West Pavilion Master was startled by his words! He had never even thought of it that way! The Warden of Heaven had commanded the Hunting Heaven Pavilion for a hundred thousand years. For a hundred thousand years, everyone tacitly assumed the pavilion belonged to him. Yet hearing Su Yu put it like this... it didn't seem entirely unreasonable. "The Hunting Heaven Pavilion... belongs to the human race..." The West Pavilion Master murmured. Su Yu laughed and said, "Of course! The Hunting Heaven Pavilion owes its renown and strength to the Heaven Hunting Ranking, and even that ranking was left behind by King Wen. The Warden of Heaven was merely a gatekeeper and caretaker, yet now he dares rebel!" Hearing this, the West Pavilion Master considered it and said, "That might be pushing it. By your logic, the myriad realms in their entirety belong to the human race, for in antiquity, all of this was human territory." "Exactly!" Su Yu looked completely matter-of-fact. "Isn't that so?" "..." The West Pavilion Master felt completely out of sync with Su Yu! He had only made a passing remark, yet Su Yu took it up in deadly earnest. He wasn't truly defending the Warden of Heaven, but merely felt things should be viewed fairly. Antiquity had fallen; for a hundred thousand years, the Warden of Heaven had run the Hunting Heaven Pavilion. If the Warden of Heaven was a traitor, then aside from the human race, the entire myriad realms were traitors! Uncertain whether the West Pavilion Master was frowning behind his mask, he stood before Su Yu without advancing further and said gravely, "City Lord Su is undeniably powerful, immensely gifted, and blessed with thriving fortune. However... if City Lord takes unifying the myriad realms and restoring ancient glory as your duty, forgive my bluntness, but for now at least, I see no hope of that whatsoever!" "Unify the myriad realms? Ancient glory?" Su Yu laughed. "Pavilion Master jests. I have no such thoughts for now! My only thought is: all who oppose me must die!" "..." Was there any difference between that and what he had just said? Countless people have offended you! All the major races have offended you! Once you've killed them all, you'll pretty much have unified the myriad realms anyway. "Pavilion Master, please. Exchanging pleasantries outside the door lacks courtesy!" Su Yu gestured in welcome. After a brief silence, the West Pavilion Master stepped into the hall. Su Yu followed him in and unceremoniously took the seat of honor. Elder Wang poured tea for the West Pavilion Master. Moments later, Su Yu took the initiative to speak: "Does Pavilion Master come to advise me on something, or do you require assistance? You stepped in so righteously earlier, and Su Yu is endlessly grateful. If you need anything, please speak freely!" The West Pavilion Master remained silent for a moment before slowly saying, "I merely wished to discuss the matters of the Hunting Heaven Pavilion with you, and... rescue some people." "Rescue people?" "Yes!" The West Pavilion Master said solemnly, "Rescue people! Within the Hunting Heaven Pavilion, there are still many humans. None remain at the Eternity realm, but below Eternity, there is a group of humans who infiltrated during this tide. Now that I have chosen to betray the Warden of Heaven... he will certainly purge those humans!" "Are there many?" Su Yu already knew that many humans seemed to have infiltrated the Hunting Heaven Pavilion, but as for the exact number, he truly had no idea. "A substantial number!" The West Pavilion Master said gravely, "I oversee the West Pavilion. As far as I know, there are no fewer than a hundred humans in the West Pavilion alone! I imagine the South and North Towers, as well as the Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang Divisions, each harbor many humans—no fewer than a thousand in total!" Su Yu thought for a moment and asked, "Can he ferret them out? The hierarchy of the Hunting Heaven Pavilion goes tier by tier, with each tier only overseeing the tier directly beneath it..." "He can!" The West Pavilion Master explained, "He is the Warden of Heaven; his authority is different from ours! If the master of any organization doesn't even know how many people are under him, then that organization... has lost its founding purpose! The Hunting Heaven Pavilion was originally an institution under Lord King Wen. Only King Wen had the authority to know every member's identity. But over the years, the Warden of Heaven has been constantly refining the Heaven Hunting Ranking! The masks all originate from the Heaven Hunting Ranking. Once he refines it completely, he will know the identities of everyone on the roster!" The West Pavilion Master continued, "Knowing everyone's identity means misfortune for the humans, for one thing. Secondly, the identities of infiltrators from other myriad races will also be laid bare before him, and he might use that to achieve something." "So what you're saying is... he hasn't fully refined the Heaven Hunting Ranking yet?" "Likely not!" The West Pavilion Master explained, "After all, it is King Wen's treasure, not his. Residual imprints of Lord King Wen remain on it. Still, over countless years, he has worn them down considerably. This time, before you all emerged, the characters 'Chart' and 'Record' were briefly integrated into the Hunting Heaven Pavilion. In all likelihood, that accelerated his refinement speed!" "About how much longer will it take?" "That is unclear!" The West Pavilion Master shook his head and added, "Furthermore, even if he hasn't refined it, he might summon all the elders and forcibly verify each one's identity. He is capable of doing so! Once he captures human elders and investigates down tier by tier, he is certain to unearth many humans!" Su Yu nodded and asked, "Then those humans who infiltrated... what have they accomplished? Have they made any contributions?" Su Yu had to ask. If they had no contributions and had simply infiltrated to murder, plunder, or strengthen themselves... they could figure out their own way out. Could he really be expected to go fight the Warden of Heaven just for their sake? "Naturally they have made contributions—plenty of them!" The West Pavilion Master said solemnly, "In the early days of opening the manors in the Human Realm, when humans marched into the various realms, maps detailing the distribution of powerhouses and defensive formations across realms were provided to the human race by the Hunting Heaven Pavilion! Otherwise, do you think charging blindly into other realms would have been so simple?" "In the mid-phase, the Hunting Heaven Pavilion was the Human Realm's largest trading partner. Given the Warden of Heaven's mindset, he might not have been willing to trade with humans; that outcome was fought for and secured by certain individuals!" "In the later phase, when the various manors of the human race campaigned across the realms, the Hunting Heaven Pavilion acted as an intelligence conduit. On many occasions when humans were trapped or besieged, members of the pavilion acted as third parties to gather intelligence and deliver it to the humans, helping them escape danger!" Hearing up to this point, Su Yu grew intrigued. "So many of them are meritorious heroes?" "Indeed. Though of course, there are also those who joined the Hunting Heaven Pavilion simply to fish in troubled waters..." He looked at Su Yu. For example... you! Indeed, Su Yu had joined the pavilion purely to fish in troubled waters, without any grand goal. Smiling unperturbed without the slightest embarrassment, Su Yu asked, "Does the Pavilion Master mean you want me to save them?" "..." The West Pavilion Master fell silent for a moment, then nodded. "Why not go to the human race?" The West Pavilion Master said in a low voice, "The human race has no leverage. The Warden of Heaven does not fear them, nor does he need any treasures of theirs." "Then what use is coming to me?" "It is of use... Of course, I know that to you, it may not seem worth it. But regarding the character 'Record' that Senior Tianmie obtained earlier, if you are willing to exchange it with the Warden of Heaven, he would absolutely be willing to spare those below Eternity. Killing them has no bearing on him anyway!" "'Record'?" Su Yu hadn't known about this yet. The West Pavilion Master explained, "It was in General Duobao's hands. Later, to buy his life, he gave it to Senior Tianmie. It is also an essential component of the Heaven Hunting Ranking. To the Warden of Heaven, this is more important than anything! Of course, it is extraordinarily precious, and you might feel it isn't worth trading for some humans below Eternity... I only came to try my chances, hoping you might..." Su Yu asked in puzzlement, "Can't the humans simply leave on their own and return to the human race?" The West Pavilion Master fell silent for a moment. "Some of them might not be willing to leave! Because they believe they haven't been exposed yet, that hope remains, and that they can stay on. Having lurked for so many years, some have reached the rank of elder, commanding intelligence networks across realms and even vast amounts of resources! If they abandon their posts, all of that will be lost!" He sighed. "Even under my command, there are two human elders. I already sent word instructing them to leave! But... they refused. The West Pavilion holds immense wealth and intelligence, including numerous operatives planted across the various realms! If they forfeit their positions, everything is gone!" "Intelligence and personnel across the various realms?" Su Yu rubbed his chin and said, "Now that is quite useful. For instance, when infiltrating different realms, an extra person can't just appear out of thin air. Having locals assist would make a big difference, right?" The West Pavilion Master was speechless. Your very first thought is infiltration! Su Yu chuckled and said, "I'll consider it. How about this: Pavilion Master, contact the Hunting Heaven Pavilion first and tell the Warden of Heaven not to rush into purging the humans. As for me, I'm open to trading with him for the people! It's no big deal! But first, let me study that 'Record' character. Could it be King Wen's divine character? Tell him to wait. What's eight or ten years to him, right?" The West Pavilion Master said in a low voice, "He might not be willing to wait that long. That is too long; the human side could use that time to evacuate!" Su Yu smiled. "Fine, one month then!" "In one month, if I feel like trading, I'll give him the item. If not, he can do as he pleases!" The West Pavilion Master pressed the matter no further. He had only come grasping at a sliver of hope, and since Su Yu had given his word, at least there was hope. He rose to take his leave. His sole objective had been seeking Su Yu's help; now that they had spoken, there was no need to linger. Su Yu, however, asked with a smile, "Is Pavilion Master heading to the human race now, or somewhere else?" "I probably won't go to the human race. Even if I went, I wouldn't necessarily be trusted right now... Rather than that, I might as well roam freely on the Allheaven Battlefield or head to some minor realm!" Having said that, the West Pavilion Master added, "The City Lord likely has no need of my help either, with so many guardians at your back!" Clearly, he was signaling in advance that he would not reside in the ancient city. Su Yu didn't mind this in the least and smiled. "I won't force the matter. It's just that I also have a small favor to ask of Pavilion Master." "Speak, let me hear it." "You have been a pavilion master of the Hunting Heaven Pavilion for countless years. Surely you haven't been left without any hidden strength or connections!" Su Yu smiled. "It's quite a simple thing..." With that, Su Yu took out a book and smiled. "Does Pavilion Master know what this is?" The West Pavilion Master glanced at it. "The civilized armament you forged last time!" "Right!" Su Yu smiled. "Is it powerful?" "Very powerful!" "Then do you know why this armament is so powerful?" The West Pavilion Master frowned. Su Yu continued, "Do you know that I fused thirty carriers into it, along with the blood essence of countless powerhouses?" "An evil armament!" On the one hand, he was shocked by Su Yu's extravagant hand in fusing thirty carriers; on the other hand, he was stunned that Su Yu upgraded a Heaven armament by integrating powerhouse blood essence—this was an evil armament! Su Yu grinned. "Yes, an evil armament! So the countless people and Invincibles I slaughtered were all to seize their blood essence and carriers... I hope Pavilion Master can spread word of this armament!" "Hmm?" The West Pavilion Master couldn't help staring at Su Yu. "Spread word of it?" "Yes!" Su Yu smiled. "Across the myriad realms, I believe you should have the means to spread the news. But don't make it common knowledge. I want only certain top powerhouses to know!" "What are you trying to do?" The West Pavilion Master said sternly, "This will bring trouble upon yourself!" Su Yu chuckled. "Does it make a difference? Am I not troubled enough as it is?" It made no difference at all! The West Pavilion Master paused briefly. Indeed, there seemed to be no difference. Right now, everyone who wanted to kill Su Yu already wanted to kill him; those who didn't wouldn't turn around to kill him just because of an armament. Su Yu smiled. "This Heaven armament is still just a Heaven armament—merely high-grade Heaven tier, not even peak. I want to produce a god armament out of it. I truly wish another grand war would break out so I could slaughter a few more Invincibles to fuse into my book!" The West Pavilion Master pondered and asked, "Spread that as well?" "Of course!" Su Yu laughed. "I need these items desperately, urgently! Because this affects the growth of my strength, I have an urgent need for them!" The West Pavilion Master still didn't understand. Yet, since Su Yu insisted, he considered it and said, "Very well. But doing so quietly and inconspicuously will take some time." "No problem at all!" Su Yu cupped his fists with a grin. "Then I'll be troubling Pavilion Master!" "Think nothing of it!" Saying no more, the West Pavilion Master soon strode away. Once he was gone, Wan Tiansheng walked back in, looked outside, then turned to Su Yu. "What kind of trick are you cooking up now?" Su Yu chuckled. "Nothing, really. Just selling goods! If you don't have something you desperately need, who would believe you're genuinely selling the Nine-Leaf Celestial Lotus?" Su Yu chuckled gleefully, "Build up hype before making a sale! I need carriers desperately, and I need blood essence desperately—vast quantities of it! Strong powerhouses' blood essence! This time, I bet many powerhouses have savings tucked away. They might curse me for being evil and forging an evil armament, but if offered the Nine-Leaf Celestial Lotus in exchange for materials to upgrade that evil armament, they'll gladly leap at it. Cursing with their mouths, they'll be thinking in their hearts: 'What does an evil armament have to do with me? As long as I make myself stronger, it's worth every penny!'" "Where does it smell good?" The little fur ball hastily poked its head out from Su Yu's scalp—it had heard the word "delicious"! Su Yu slapped his forehead, shoving the little fellow back in. Wan Tiansheng paid it no mind and chuckled, "You certainly are audacious. Building momentum... That makes sense. You do need to let everyone know what you lack; there is indeed a need for that." Then he asked, "About that 'Record' character... Tianmie might not give it to you. That is a treasure, a component piece of a god armament, and even normally it can serve as a Heaven armament. Furthermore, if he gives it to you, do you truly intend to hand it over to the Warden of Heaven? Once he refines the Hunting Heaven Pavilion, his strength will certainly surge. That would be inviting trouble upon yourself!" "We'll see." Su Yu laughed. "I haven't even seen the item yet. I'll go find Lord Tianmie in a bit. Besides... I have a feeling that item might even be connected to me!" "Connected to you?" Su Yu laughed. "Yeah! It's mine!" "Yours?" Wan Tiansheng was struck speechless. Why is every treasure under the heavens yours?! The myriad realms belong to your family! Every treasure is yours! The stronger this kid got, the greedier he became! ... Su Yu couldn't care less about any of that. Only now did he learn that Tianmie had actually seized a portion of the Heaven Hunting Ranking! The Heaven Hunting Ranking! The Chart and Record! Su Yu knew all of it now. The character "Chart" was with the Tianyuan Half-Emperor, while "Record" had originally been with Duobao and was now in Tianmie's hands. "Chart and Record..." Countless thoughts surged in Su Yu's mind. Chart and Record! The Heaven Hunting Ranking! The golden album in his mind! He had wondered before if the Heaven Hunting Ranking was a hit list compiled from a catalogue, and facts had proven it was! Connecting this to his own civilization chronicle, Su Yu had even considered forging such an index or table of contents himself, though the difficulty was bound to be immense. Now, he felt even more certain. Perhaps... these few things were truly one and the same! This might very well be the previous Time Master's civilization chronicle! If that was truly the case, then King Wen must be the Time Master! "The Martial King is named Taishan, King Wen and the Time Master are one and the same, and Old Zhou might be the Martial Emperor..." Su Yu felt that the secrets he held were growing more and more extensive. "And the golden album... why did it appear in my mind? How strange! Does this count as King Wen's legacy, or the Time Master's?" At this moment, Su Yu became increasingly certain that the thing inside his head was likely the previous generation's civilization chronicle! Before long, Su Yu arrived at Tianmie Ancient City. Inside the ancient city, he actually spotted Tianhe. Indeed, Tianhe had returned. Su Yu had caught a glimpse of him earlier without paying much heed, but now his curiosity was piqued. Upon seeing Tianhe, he wasn't in a hurry to look for Tianmie anymore and asked with a grin, "City Lord Tianhe, I never bumped into you in the Star Residence Mansion. Where did you run off to?" Seeing Su Yu, Tianhe wore a face full of sorrow and deep melancholy, sighing, "'Entering a treasure mountain only to return empty-handed' was probably coined just for me! You have no idea what I discovered!" Looking mysterious, he transmitted his voice: "You won't believe it! I was actually teleported into an unrecorded treasure ground! That place was colossal! But that isn't the point—the point is, there was no one there! Even having no people around was one thing, but you cannot imagine: there were god armaments there! Truly, god armaments! Several of them! At first I thought it was a mountain range, but later I realized it wasn't. That gargantuan mountain range spanning heaven and earth was actually a god armament..." He said in sheer awe, "A genuine god armament! I threw a punch at it, and it didn't react at all! I flew along the mountain range upward for a very long time..." "In the end, I reached a conclusion!" Tianhe said in shock, "It was an incomparably formidable god armament shaped like a bone! It might have been forged by a primordial powerhouse from the dawn of antiquity when civilization was just beginning, back when they were probably more accustomed to using bones as weapons! It's simply unimaginable..." "What bone?" Su Yu seemed to understand something and asked, "What did it look like?" Tianhe quickly traced the shape in the air. Su Yu took a look—scaled down, wouldn't that be a humerus bone? Had he entered the arm? Stroking his chin, Su Yu filled in the rest: "And then you kept going forward and discovered another god armament, slightly smaller than the first but not by much, and quite long! And moving further ahead, did you perhaps find five more god armaments, like segmented whips, right?" Tianhe said in shock, "You went in there too? How come I didn't run into you!" Su Yu shrugged. Sure enough, he had truly entered the arm space. Su Yu was somewhat puzzled. How on earth did that teleportation work? Dead spirits entered the sub-first floor, while half-dead spirits entered the arm space. By the way, what about the other half-dead spirits? Quite a few half-dead spirits had entered this time—Water Man, Shadow, and the others had all gone in. But during the chaotic battle earlier, Su Yu hadn't had time to look after them. Some had been escorted away by the humans, but Su Yu didn't know whether Xia Longwu and the others had taken those fellows along. If they hadn't been taken... they were most likely finished. If they had crossed paths, they probably would have been taken along, since Hong Tan recognized them—after all, he had captured them in the first place. Tianhe was powerful enough that he had managed to flee back on his own. And right now, Tianhe asked in genuine amazement, "Su Yu, did you go there too? Did you manage to dig up any god armaments?" Those were definitely god armaments! Frighteningly powerful! Dig? Su Yu was speechless. Dig, my foot! If you actually managed to pry them loose, you'd be dismantling Old Zhou's bones! If he didn't beat you to death, I'd take your surname! "No. Stop obsessing over it, and count your blessings that you couldn't pry them loose!" Looking at you, if you could actually move them, you really would have dismantled Old Zhou's bones. You certainly have some nerve. "Su Yu, those are god armaments... absolutely!" "Even if they are god armaments, they aren't something you can covet, and the same goes for me!" Su Yu asked, "Other than that, did you gain nothing? I see you haven't attained the Dao, though you've stepped into quasi-Invincible. Do you not have a second carrier?" Tianhe sighed. "Don't even mention it! There were so many treasures, yet I couldn't snag a single one! If I had managed to grab just one, would I still be fretting over this?" He sighed again, brimming with helplessness. It truly was returning empty-handed from a treasure mountain! In that place, if you took anything at all, what would carriers even matter? Even Heaven armaments could serve as carriers, let alone god armaments! "Then keep fretting. Down the line, if I have any spares or if you render some meritorious service, I'll give you one. Right now you haven't done anything to earn it, so I'll be using them myself!" "Fair enough!" Tianhe didn't mind that and continued to sigh. This trip had dealt him a massive blow. Staring at countless treasures without being able to take a single one, agonizing over it for a whole month, he had nearly coughed up blood. Not going mad by now was proof of his iron willpower. So many god armaments! You probably couldn't find that many across the entire myriad realms! He had seen them, but... he couldn't take them! His heart ached terribly! It ached so badly that even when Tianmie scolded him several times, he couldn't be bothered to respond or reply. Whatever. Anyway, now that Su Yu had become vice city lord, he didn't even need to bear the death qi himself, so he was more than happy to take it easy. He just felt deeply wistful about his treasures! ... "That guy has lost his mind!" The moment Su Yu arrived, Tianmie remarked with a sigh, "He used to be terrified of me, but now he's gone mad. I barked at him several times, and he actually ignored me!" Heavens! Tianmie could hardly believe Tianhe had grown such guts. Su Yu chuckled, "It's normal. If any ordinary person saw that many treasures, couldn't take a single one, and spent a month stuck with them, they'd explode upon coming out too!" "What he said was real?" "Probably true!" Su Yu smiled. "They weren't god armaments, probably just the Martial Emperor's arm bones. He mistook them for god armaments, though in truth they aren't far off." "..." Tianmie murmured, "I thought he was lying, dreaming, or caught in an illusion. You mean... he really ran into them?" "Yeah." "Then it's no wonder he lost his mind!" Tianmie shook his head as well. "He'd have to be mad. If I saw a god armament, even I would want to snatch it, let alone him!" With that, he said in a low voice, "Bones... teleportation... the Human Face Realm... What you said actually gives me some thoughts!" Su Yu smiled. "What is there to think about? It's plain as day!" Tianmie fell silent. After a long while, he said, "If it's true, the Martial King is too ruthless. Is he still alive?" "He might be!" "Then the Martial King... Not just the Martial King. When they constructed it, at least the Human Sovereign and King Wen must have known as well. These people... are truly ruthless!" Tianmie had basically guessed the truth and clicked his tongue in wonder. Forging a peerless powerhouse into the Star Residence Mansion while still alive, keeping him that way for countless ages—that was far more miserable than what had happened to the guardians! The Star Residence Mansion predated even the Allheaven Battlefield! It had existed for far longer than a hundred thousand years! Tianmie continued, then quickly asked, "Then his head is facing down?" As he spoke, he recalled something and suddenly cackled with laughter, "Then... then where is King Gong's Mansion located?" Su Yu shrugged. "Don't ask me, I don't know." "Ga-ga-ga!" Tianmie laughed uncontrollably. "That fellow King Gong wasn't a good person! Back then, he reprimanded this daddy all the time! Ga-ga-ga! Turns out that guy lived in someone's... Hahaha!" He was utterly overjoyed! It was as if all the suffering of a hundred thousand years melted away in this instant. That bastard King Gong had exiled them here, promising it would only be for a millennium, which then turned into a hundred thousand years! Had King Gong not died, Tianmie would have wanted to bash his head in! Thinking about it now, he immediately felt immensely amused. Su Yu felt helpless. "Alright, my lord, don't celebrate just yet. Can you give me that 'Record' character?" "Huh?" Only after a moment did Tianmie remember what Su Yu was referring to. He quickly asked, "You want that thing?" "Let me inspect it first. If it's good, I'll take it; if not, forget it..." "Heh!" Tianmie sneered. "That's my battle trophy!" What are you thinking, kid! "My lord can go out and play for another three to five days..." "Heh, three to five days?" Tianmie sneered coldly. "This thing is a supreme treasure!" "Seven or eight days!" "Hehe..." Su Yu turned around and made to leave. "Never mind then, keep it for yourself, my lord!" "Wait!" Tianmie cleared his throat and called out, "Come back! Counting the three days from earlier, make it half a month in total! This seat wants to pool them together to go out and fool around for half a month!" "No problem!" Su Yu agreed without hesitation. What was the big deal! In the distance, Wan Tiansheng, who had kept his distance the entire time, turned his gaze toward them, his eyes full of melancholy and bewilderment. So the treasure the Warden of Heaven pursued with all his might was only worth a twelve-day vacation in Tianmie's eyes! Pitiable, pathetic, lamentable! And Su Yu—this kid's heart was truly black! ... Su Yu couldn't care less about any of that. Having it was of little use to Tianmie anyway. In fact, it wasn't particularly useful to anyone else either; otherwise, Duobao wouldn't have thrown it away to save his life. A twelve-day vacation was about right. What more could one ask for? Before long, he received the item. It was a large, pale-gold shard-like object. In the center of the shard was embedded a single character—"Record"—in the script of a text of will. This was it? The moment Su Yu took it in hand, that golden presence in his mind trembled slightly. There seemed to be a reaction! A faint glow emanated from the shard as well. The once-dormant shard now showed signs of revival. Su Yu's vision blurred slightly. Looking at the character "Record" again, images seemed to surface before his eyes—figure after figure, thread after thread of aura! Record! It possessed the power to record, collect, document, and carry! At this moment, figures emerged in Su Yu's eyes. He seemed to see Wan Tiansheng, Jiu Yue, Tuntian... Su Yu felt a faint daze. This was a catalogue! Yes, it had to be a catalogue! And this catalogue possessed unique functions, even capable of surveying the myriad realms, sweeping up every genius and recording them all within! However, this was incomplete. It was merely a single fragment! "It's broken..." Su Yu murmured. How could something so formidable be shattered? Did its master die? Or was it smashed by someone? He had heard this object had always remained within the Hunting Heaven Pavilion, so the likelihood of it being shattered by an enemy was slim; otherwise, the Warden of Heaven would have died long ago. Could it be that its master perished, causing the divine character to explode? No... this character "Record" should itself be a divine character. The divine character was still intact, but the catalogue page was shattered. Could King Wen have done this intentionally? If he could not return, or was about to die, and he didn't want the Warden of Heaven to obtain the complete catalogue—wary of what the warden might do with this catalogue page once freed of his control? Therefore, King Wen intentionally shattered it! This was the most probable scenario! At this moment, such a thought arose in Su Yu's mind. Otherwise, the divine character itself should have shattered, rather than the catalogue page—that defied common sense. "King Wen... shattered it himself!" Did he also shatter the entire civilization chronicle at that moment, with a portion of it ending up inside Su Yu's own head? "Strange!" Countless thoughts rose once more in Su Yu's mind. Why not pass down a complete inheritance instead of dividing it into multiple parts? That was one thing he couldn't understand! And at this moment, as he continued to gaze into it, he seemed to see even more. He... saw the Warden of Heaven!
