While the stone statue was waiting for the good show to unfold.
Su Yu started hesitating.
"Should I hire a super expert to act as my guard for a bit?" But even a ninth-stage Sunmoon would not be a match for that mayor inside this city, right?
After a long hesitation, Su Yu clenched his teeth and decided to just do it. The mayor was the most powerful individual in the city. Perhaps he would not be able to leave the city even with the gates open if he kept refusing to the mayor. He had to find a way to leave before the arrival of the myriad race experts.
A short while later, Su Yu walked out of the building and waited outside for a bit. Surprisingly, no death spirits were heading over to kill him. He decided to stop waiting. Since he could transform back into a death spirit at any time, he didn't need to be too wary of the death spirits.
He walked to the mayor's residence and stood before the gate. There, he announced his arrival loudly, "Adopted great-grandson of Great Xia King, adopted great-grandson of Great Ming King, disciple of Silk Destroying King, unofficial disciple of Heavenly Forge King, Su Yu, is requesting an audience with the mayor."
"..."
His voice was loud. It spread everywhere. Some of the people in the city had the urge to leave their buildings, but they ultimately held back. The mayor's residence sank into a sudden silence.
All the experts hiding all over the city went stiff. Was...Su Yu seeking an audience with the mayor?
No, that wasn't the point.
More importantly, his collection of titles...seemed rather terrifying. He was related to four kings? Since when did he become the adopted great-grandson of Great Xia King and Great Ming King? Since when was he the disciple of Silk Destroying King and Heavenly Forge King?
Meanwhile, Su Yu was fully convinced he was not lying. He once told Xia Huyou that Xia Huyou's grandpa would be his grandpa. In that case, Xia Huyou's great-grandpa would naturally be his great-grandpa as well.
He had said something similar to Zhu Hongliang in Great Ming as well. In fact, Zhu Tiandao had been trying to become his grandfather-in-law. Thus, Great Ming King was as good as his great-grandpa.
As for his relationship with the Silk Destroying King, wasn't the Time technique the best proof of that?
And there was also the Heavenly Forge King. The weaponsmithing legacy in the Hundred Dao Pagoda was essentially his legacy. Thus, Su Yu was absolutely not lying. He had indeed learned from Heavenly Forge King. He believed that not even the four kings could deny that logic of his.
Since he was related to four kings, he should be able to get some respect from the mayor, right?

Inside a certain ancient building.
Qin Fang was rubbing his chin while resisting the urge to laugh. Su Yu...what an interesting individual.
***
Inside the mayor's residence.
Tian He, who was busy drinking liquor as usual, blanked out slightly. He placed his wine glass down and laughed in amusement.
"Open the gate."
"Lord!" The old man appeared and said, "There are a lot of troubles surrounding Su Yu. It's not a good idea to meet him."
"Open the gate." Tian He laughed, "This is too interesting. Is he trying to use the names of four human Eternals to scare me? How interesting."
Even the stone statue was amused, to the point his eyes were open yet again. In fact, he hadn't been able to keep his eyes shut for long throughout the day. What was that? Four Eternals? Related to him? Was the brat sure about that?
***
The death qi on the mayor was incredibly dense, to the point it felt as dense as what those Sunmoon death spirits were emitting.
"Greetings, Lord Mayor."
Su Yu gave a respectful bow.
After taking another sip from his wine glass, the mayor said, "Adopted great-grandson of Great Xia King and Great Ming King?"
"Yes."
"Disciple of Silk Destroying King and Heavenly Forge King?"
"Yes."
"In that case, why are you in such a desperate situation?"
Su Yu calmly answered, "I don't think so. Any expert needs to climb to the top one step at a time. Without suffering, how can one hope to reach the top? I dare say that I'm rising at a speed that can astonish all realms in existence. I believe that is what those Invincibles wish to see from me."
"Are you trying to leave?"
Su Yu lowered his head and said, "Yes. If I remain, the experts of numerous races will be here. Soon, Heavendoom City will become the center of attention and the battlefield of myriad races. Perhaps even Invincibles will start fighting here."
"You're very confident."
Tian He smiled, "Which Invincible will actually fight for you?"
Tian He spoke without holding back, "The multiple character faction is the focus of the myriad races. The human race has given up on the multiple character faction. That is the only option if humanity does not wish to become an enemy of all races. That is the only way for the human race to preserve a tiny bit of its status and power. You should know this well. Tell me. Which Invincible will fight for you?
"Back then, Ye Batian was the hope of humanity. Human Invincibles fought for him, but he disappointed everyone and plunged humanity into despair. Do you think humanity will fight the myriad races again for a second Ye Batian?"
Su Yu solemnly declared, "I am not Ye Batian. Nor am I the second Ye Batian. I don't know if the human Invincibles will be willing to fight for me. Perhaps...you know the answer better than me."
Was the mayor so sure that the human Invincibles wouldn't fight for him? Was the mayor so sure that nobody in the human race wished to see the multiple character faction rise?
No.
A lot of people wished to see the multiple character faction rise once again. They had merely been hiding their feelings due to the stance adopted by the myriad races.
Su Yu believed in that firmly. Otherwise, the multiple character faction would have been fully wiped out long ago.
Tian He laughed, "Perhaps...you're right. Take a seat."
Su Yu was just about to say something when a cushion appeared under him. He cursed inwardly, but he quickly forced his mind to calm down. Sunmoons were very sensitive. He shouldn't think too much in the presence of one.
He did not hesitate to sit down. After sitting down, he raised his head to look at the mayor again. The mayor looked incredibly young, and he maintained the appearance of a human. Ignoring the thick death qi on him, he actually looked quite scholarly.
"A drink?"
Mayor Tian He offered with a smile. A wine glass appeared out of thin air, and wine started pouring out of thin air to fill the glass. Then, the glass floated toward Su Yu.
Su Yu accepted the glass. The wine in the glass was emanating waves of thick death qi.
