Chapter 475: Chapter 370: The Power of the Netherworld’s Water

Su Yu didn’t particularly enjoy such a bustling scene, so after a brief time with Qin Jiagui and Zhang Zhongmou, he quietly retreated into his own room, shutting out the noise outside. He had brought back the "Water of the Netherworld" and the "Divine Skull." Now, it was time to decide what to do with them.

The so-called "Divine Skull," said to be a god’s own skull, wasn’t an unwarranted name. According to Ada’s estimate, Su Yu could only slowly assimilate and absorb it, which may take a significantly long time. Only then could he replace his ordinary white skull with the divine golden skull worthy of a god.

As for the "Water of the Netherworld," although Ada was certain it could bring enlightenment, its fearsome power was deeply understood by Su Yu. It was hard to imagine the terrifying effects it could cause once consumed.

Su Yu furrowed his brows. This matter concerned the safety of everyone; he did not dare to take it lightly. The safest approach right now, seemingly, was to find someone to test it out first.

Although Ada sensed the remarkable power of the Water of the Netherworld, it could not be completely sure. Hence, it agreed with Su Yu’s opinion.

Su Yu carefully poured a little bit of the Water of the Netherworld into a small porcelain cup and then resealed the large water bag. According to Ada’s knowledge, such a small amount would be enough to bring about effects, and each individual could only use it once in their lifetime. Drinking more or multiple times would be fruitless.

The Water of the Netherworld could instantly freeze a person to an ice sculpture. However, if it just touched dead matter, it would not have any effects. It showed its magical properties only when came into contact with living beings.

After preparing the Water of the Netherworld, Su Yu cautiously put away the large bag and stepped outside. He watched the merry crowd – some even dancing – and furrowed his brows. Who should be picked for the experiment?

Whilst monsters could be used for testing, the difference between them and humans was significant. An outcome of no effect on monsters did not necessarily mean the same for humans. After much thought, Su Yu decided to use a human for the test.

While surveying the crowd, Su Yu spotted a familiar face - a young man called Xia Yan who once relayed Chen Xuanbai’s command that Zhou Birong and the others were being held by Chen Xuanbai. Although he was a bit of a fence-sitter, he had not committed any evil deeds. When Chen Xuanbai was in power, Xia Yan didn’t dare to defy his orders, so Su Yu and his friends did not mistreat him afterward.

After all, during that time Xia Yan and Su Yu’s group were not deeply acquainted, it would be asking too much to expect him to risk his life defying Chen Xuanbai.

Nevertheless, Su Yu always held a certain amount of resentment for this vacillating fence-sitter.

Spotting Xia Yan in the crowd, Su Yu decided on his target. He quietly approached him and gently touched Xia Yan, who was currently laughing merrily amidst the crowd.

Xia Yan’s eyes rolled back and he fell unconscious instantly. Su Yu held him up to prevent him from falling and, taking advantage of the crowd’s distraction, carried him into his room. He then forced open Xia Yan’s mouth and poured the Water of the Netherworld from the porcelain cup into his mouth

At the same time, both Su Yu and Ada watched Xia Yan’s reaction intently. Ada even extended its consciousness into Xia Yan’s body to observe.

The minuscule amount of Water of the Netherworld was frighteningly potent. After consuming such a small amount, almost all of Xia Yan’s organs were frozen solid, and then his life signs disappeared, just like a dead man. His body was covered in a layer of frost. The power of the Water of the Netherworld was indeed fearsome.

Su Yu and Ada quietly waited. After some time, Xia Yan’s frozen heart contracted violently in his silent body, followed by a "crackling" sound. The frozen heart, unwilling to let life slip away just yet, struggled fiercely. Following this, the heart seemed to be reborn, breaking free from the freezing power. His heart seemed stronger and more powerful than before, and soon, all the frozen parts of his body were recovering. This scene was nothing short of a miracle.

Su Yu and Ada exchanged a glance, joy showing up in their eyes. The experiment was successful. The Water of the Netherworld indeed had a wondrous effect. Regardless of whether it could truly enlighten, at least Xia Yan’s heart was distinctively different from before. Now, his heart beat more robustly, and his vital energy was even stronger.

Su Yu smiled; noticing that Xia Yan was about to wake up, he knocked him out again and casually nudged him back into the crowd. As dawn broke, many people were scattered around sleeping haphazardly. When Xia Yan woke up, he probably wouldn’t know what happened the previous night.

"Su Yu, indeed, the Water of the Netherworld has a remarkable power. Should we gather everyone in the morning and give each of them a sip?" Ada asked with a smile.

Shaking his head, Su Yu replied: "Doing so would create a lot of commotion and be hard to explain..." After a slight pause, he continued: "Later I will go find Qin Jiagui, we’ll start with the people we trust the most, and tell them this is..."

Ada chuckled, "How about we say this is ’Dragon Saliva Sweet Dew’, which can bolster the heart and potentially assist you in making a breakthrough. After all, ’Dragon Saliva Sweet Dew’ can genuinely strengthen a human heart, so this explanation makes sense. Right now, we can’t divulge that this is the Water of the Netherworld... otherwise... if the word gets out, it could be detrimental to us."

"Indeed." Su Yu was well aware of the terrifying power of the Netherworld Skull and the fearsome transformation he had witnessed when the snow and ice had suddenly become a vast ocean. He knew this power would not be pacified by the absence of the Netherworld Skull. Considering this, Su Yu mused, "As such, it’s vital now that we don’t cause too much commotion."

"Will you have a drink, Su Yu?"

"Hmm, let them go first. I need to protect them." Su Yu smiled, then called Qin Jiagui, Zhang Zhongmou, and others together. He told them nothing about the ’Water of the Netherworld’, only that they had obtained ’Dragon Saliva Sweet Dew’ on the way and explained its use. Their task was to gather the most trustworthy people. However, he then thought that favoring some people over others might stir the resentment of others who weren’t chosen. And since he had explained it as Dragon Saliva Sweet Dew, with no reference to the ’Water of the Netherworld’, Su Yu then decided to tell Qin Jiagui to gather everyone.

Qin Jiagui, among them, knew about the ’Water of the Netherworld’. On hearing it had been renamed ’Dragon Saliva Sweet Dew’, he was puzzled, but he didn’t ponder on it too deeply and promptly started gathering the people of Freedom Village.

Ada reminded Su Yu, "I forgot to mention, Zhang Zhongmou shouldn’t drink. His heart is extremely distinctive, one could say unprecedentedly unique. Moreover, he doesn’t need the Water of the Netherworld to advance now. To prevent potential accidents, let’s have Zhang Zhongmou abstain."

With a nod from Su Yu, he went to Zhang Zhongmou and explained, "This Dragon Saliva Sweet Dew can bolster the heart, but your heart is now truly unique. I fear drinking this could instead have side effects none of us can predict."

Zhang Zhongmou nodded; he truly didn’t dare to take risks regarding this. After all, he had barely ascended to the sixth level, and these days, he had been receiving everyone’s admiration. If he were to die because he drank some ’Dragon Saliva Sweet Dew’, that would be truly disastrous. Therefore, he immediately blanched upon Su Yu’s words and wouldn’t dare to drink it even upon his death.

Soon, the hundreds of Freedom Village residents had been gathered. Looking at the crowd before his eyes, Su Yu pondered how many of them would make breakthroughs after drinking the ’Water of the Netherworld’? How many would become Level Five warriors? The majority had already peaked at the Fourth Order, but lacked the realization. If the Water of the Netherworld truly increases insight and comprehension, then a large number of Level Five warriors may well appear soon.

Su Yu just gave a brief introduction, stating that he had found the ’Dragon Saliva Sweet Dew’ and so on. Of course, it was voluntary, as he was not forcing everyone to drink it.

Then he took out the large water bag and cautiously poured a bit into each of the porcelain bowls that had been placed in front of him.

Qin Jiagui, Ma Ziye, Su Yun, and others, without any hesitation, took one of the bowls and poured the bit of the Water of the Netherworld into their mouths.

As they watched each person freeze into an ice lolly and then topple over, the crowd of hundreds grew restless, and no one behind dared to drink. Su Yu leisurely sat on a chair at the head, chatting idly with Ada as hundreds of people neither daring to disperse nor to drink stood there in unison.

After a considerable time, eventually, one by one, Qin Jiagui, Ma Ziye, and the others regained their vitality, and cried out in shock and delight.

"This feeling... my heart... my heart seems to be filled with energy."

"Su Yu, this Dragon Saliva Sweet Dew is incredible. Can I have some more?"

"I...I can sense... my... power as if it’s about to seep out... I... I think I’m about to break through..."

The cries of astonishment sent ripples of excitement among the onlookers. Smiling, Su Yu shook his head and said, "Every person can only have a sip. Drinking more has no benefit."

Soon, the spectators swiftly piled up, all clamoring, "Give me some, give me some--"

Su Yu smiled, and bowl after bowl of the Water of the Netherworld was jostled up for a taste. When all the hundreds of people in front had finished drinking, about half still remained in the Water of the Netherworld. Since only a few drops of the Water of the Netherworld were needed to be effective, despite hundreds of people, the actual consumption was minimal.

Seeing that hundreds had drunk the Water of the Netherworld, each having different reactions among which some cried in joy about a strong heartbeat, and some even entered into a state of comprehension after waking up, sitting cross-legged on the spot.
