Chapter 1004: Chapter 753: The Labyrinth of the Giant Will_1

The eye emitting a "999" light became more real, and gradually, a faint if intangible voice began to sound.

"I want... to devour... this power... the strongest... seed’s... power..."

As Su Yu lay in a coma on the bed, his body shook violently, and he suddenly sat up with a jerk, opened his eyes, only to find everything around him was as usual, nothing amiss, the dragon eye that shone with the "999" luster had also disappeared.

"So, it was a dream?" Su Yu took a long breath, wiped the cold sweat from his face, and the experiences prior flashed through his mind like scenes of lightning.

He had slain the Child of Destiny, and a Giant Will within his body suddenly devoured the latter’s "999" Seed Power, which in turn attracted the terrifying blue-clothed figure guarding the vortex of Darkness.

The strength of this blue-clothed figure was overwhelmingly powerful. Su Yu had never imagined that anyone could reach such a level of strength. Keep in mind that Su Yu himself had now reached a Gold Fourth Order realm, with Adept Fluid transformation, even fusing special power with flesh, and also possessed the strength of a billion volts of Lightning Power. If it really came down to a fight for life, Su Yu, without relying on the power of Giant Will but merely on his own strength, was already not inferior to a Maya Deity.

Yet, even stronger than a deity, he felt utterly frail facing this blue-clothed figure; he didn’t even know how the latter attacked, and his body was cleaved in two. If the wooden figure hadn’t arrived in time, he would have died.

Afterward, Su Yu only remembered calling the Green Giant God to take him away, the rest was a blur. Now looking around, it seems... he’s back in Black Iron City? Did the Green Giant God bring him back?

Su Yu slowly got out of bed and moved his body a bit, realizing that it had completely recovered. It must be said, his body was indeed miraculous, with a recovery ability certainly no worse than any existences of a Spiritual Level.

"That unknown blue-clothed figure... seems... even more dreadful than the Immortal Aztec..." Su Yu pondered, shaking his head. Looking back now, he felt somewhat heart-fluttering and terrified.

It was only when he stepped out of the palace that he noticed that Meng Ting, Meng Jun, Zi Yu, Zhou Zhurou, Zhang Huaqin and other survivors from Freedom Town had come, and saw Lei Rui, Qin Jiagui and the shrunken Category 5 Lifeforms resting on Zhang Zhongmou’s shoulder, all showing astonishment and confusion.

The wooden figure laughed heartily as he approached. At that moment, the Qiongqi King, Five-tailed Zhen, and White-headed Zhu Yan were all staring at Su Yu, simply because, in the wooden figure’s words, Su Yu was a miraculous existence capable of slaying the Child of Destiny. Even the worldly Category 5 Lifeforms were taken aback.

"What exactly is all this..." Su Yu looked astonished. The wooden figure, grinning, detailed everything that had happened after he had fallen unconscious. Listening to the story about how someone had released a large number of Category 5 Lifeforms from the "Darkness Vortex" while the blue-clothed figure was chasing to kill him, Su Yu couldn’t help but widen his eyes and exclaimed, "Wow, who would have the nerve to do this?"

The wooden figure chuckled, "You’re not one to talk, you even killed the Child of Destiny. But that blue-clothed guy really is a nuisance..." Remembering how the blue-clothed figure had grabbed and torn at his head, the wooden figure felt a surge of anger. For a being of his stature, this was a great insult, yet now, he was at a loss of what to do with that blue-clothed figure.

"So it turns out, old schemer, you all have now become Masters of Companion... In that case, won’t there be many so-called Children of Destiny without Category 5 Lifeforms in the future?" Su Yu thought of a question. The wooden figure scoffed lightly, "Who cares about them, Su Yu, what are you planning to do next?"

Su Yu pondered slightly while a small figure suddenly leaped and landed on his shoulder.

Su Yu turned his head and saw it was Meng Ting’s Category 5 Lifeform, Dragon Kid.

"Little guy, something on your mind?" Su Yu smiled.

"Su Yu, where’s Ada? I haven’t seen her," Dragon Kid asked anxiously.

Su Yu pointed behind and said, "She’s over there, but don’t disturb her now. Once she comes out, she’ll have reached maturity. Dragon Kid, you’ll need to work hard."

Dragon Kid paused, "Ada is reaching maturity?" A look of dejection appeared on his face, for he was still far from reaching maturity. The gap between him and Ada was indeed growing further apart.

Meng Jun and the others approached and looked at Su Yu with sincerity, "Su Yu, thank... thank you." They wanted to say more, but standing before Su Yu who was now completely out of their league, many of the words just couldn’t be said.

Su Yu smiled lightly, shaking his head, then called over Jin Fuhua to have him take good care of the people from Freedom Town. Jin Fuhua nodded to every one of his instructions, agreeing to them all.

"During this period, the world will be very chaotic. Unless there’s something else, it’d be best for all of you to stay in ’Black Iron City.’ Compared to the outside, it should still be relatively safe," Su Yu advised the crowd once more, then looked at Meng Ting and asked, "By the way, did you bring over that strange fish with wings when you were in ’Freedom Town’? It’s also a mature Category 5 Lifeform that could possibly help Dragon Kid."

Meng Ting nodded and hummed in response, "We brought it with us."

The Qiongqi King, now smaller and lying on Lei Rui’s shoulder, suddenly spoke up, "That’s known as the Wing King Fish. It’s quite a famous Category 5 Lifeform. If he absorbs its power, evolving to maturity wouldn’t be difficult. However... you are only at Growth Phase Five, I doubt you have the ability to absorb the energy of the Wing King Fish." The last sentence from the Qiongqi King was directed at Dragon Kid.

A thought stirred in Su Yu’s heart as he said, "You’re called the Qiongqi King, right? Since you’ve mentioned it, all three of you are mature Category 5 Lifeforms. Do you have any other methods that could assist Dragon Kid?"

Now, inside Black Iron City, they already had three mature Category 5 Lifeforms. If Ada were to awaken, that would make it four, and should Dragon Kid also evolve to maturity, that would be five Category 5 Lifeforms. The strength of Black Iron City would be significantly increased, offering even greater protection for everyone.

The Qiongqi King spoke with an air of arrogance, "The three of us, being mature Category 5 Lifeforms, can easily decompose and dissolve the energy of the Wing King Fish, reducing it to a level that Dragon Kid can absorb. As long as its aptitude is sufficient, evolving to maturity wouldn’t be difficult. Of course, this process will require some time."

Upon hearing this, Su Yu chuckled, rubbed Dragon Kid’s head on his shoulder, and said, "Little guy, did you hear that? This time you’re in for a treat."

Excitement gleamed in Dragon Kid’s eyes. Suddenly, it leaped into the air, waving its small claws and cried out, "I want to grow, too! I can’t lose to Ada."

Meng Ting watched Dragon Kid’s excited antics with a slight smile on her lips. But when she turned to look at Qin Jiagui, Zhang Zhongmou, Su Yun, and especially Su Yu, she felt a touch awkward. She always had trouble meeting Su Yu’s gaze; her heart would race every time their eyes inadvertently met.

"Su kid, come here. I need to talk to you about something," the Wooden Man suddenly waved Su Yu over.

Su Yu walked over, and the Wooden Man took him out of the great hall. With a leap, they flew to a distant building – the tallest in Black Iron City. Standing on top, they could overlook the entire city and its surrounding terrain.

The Wooden Man lazily seated himself upon reaching the top.

Su Yu too leaped aboard and sat next to the Wooden Man atop the building’s roof, asking, "Wooden, what did you want to talk about?"

The others in the great hall watched as the Wooden Man took Su Yu far away to the building, knowing they were about to discuss something private, and naturally, no one followed suit, not wanting to intrude.

In truth, with their current levels of ability, if they really wanted to eavesdrop, they could hear the conversation between the Wooden Man and Su Yu. Clearly, the Wooden Man wasn’t truly trying to discuss anything confidential enough to warrant secrecy; he simply felt the great hall was too noisy with so many people. Sitting on the rooftop was much quieter.

"Su Yu, may I ask, how are you feeling now?" The Wooden Man’s face lost its lazy expression, his voice suddenly becoming solemn.

Startled slightly, Su Yu replied, "I’m feeling great. What’s the matter?"

"I mean... that ’999’ Seed Power, the power of the Child of Destiny that you absorbed. Have you noticed anything special, and also, recount the details of your encounter and your experiences at that time," the Wooden Man seemed very interested in this matter, watching Su Yu closely as he spoke.

Su Yu hummed and began to recount the moment the Seed Power, manifested as tendrils of light from someone called Chen Wenda, pierced into his body and how the colossal will within him had roared excitedly, absorbing the Seed Power in reverse. The Wooden Man asked many details, finally nodding and smiling.

"Just as I thought... just as I thought..." The Wooden Man lightly exhaled.

"Wooden, what are you mumbling about so mysteriously? What’s ’just as I thought’?" Su Yu saw that the Wooden Man had recovered three parts of his body and must have regained some of his memory. He surely was keeping some secret from Su Yu, especially concerning the secret of Su Yu’s body and the colossal will. Su Yu was supposed to die that day but was saved by the Wooden Man, who took him to a mysterious space and placed him inside a giant cocoon, resulting in the current Su Yu and the powerful will within him.

It was hard for Su Yu to believe that the Wooden Man had no knowledge of the origin of the giant cocoon, but the Wooden Man had always been silent on the matter.

"I just wanted to confirm a few things. Now, we can be certain that the will inside you is very interested in the power of the Child of Destiny. However, unless there’s no other choice, do not take risks again. You survived this time by sheer luck... At least, for now... until the situation becomes clearer, it’s better to remain conservative," the Wooden Man advised. (To be continued... For further details, please visit www.qidian.com.
