Chapter 511: Chapter 396: Master of the Main City (4th Update)

Su Yu was lost in thought when suddenly the little girl from "Black Iron City" walked up to him. Two small pentagrams appeared in her eyes as she stared at Su Yu, she stretched out her hand and pointed directly at him: "Dark Heart, it’s in you."

Su Yu was startled, he lifted his head and looked directly into the girl’s eyes.

Her eyes were like two black holes that could devour a person’s soul. At the same time, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. The "Dark Heart" that had always been dormant was undergoing unusual changes.

A peculiar expression appeared on Su Yu’s face. The tall Anoka, who had been watching the dwarf city lord of "Earth’s Core City", was also taken aback by the little girl’s words. He swiftly turned around to look at Su Yu.

At that moment, Su Yu saw a terrifying light flash in Anoka’s eyes. The light was like two blinding bolts of lightning piercing into Su Yu’s eyes, making his vision blur temporarily.

But soon, Anoka resumed his calm demeanor, walked over and picked up the little girl, smiling, "City Lord, don’t be naughty. The Master of the Main City will be out soon. Let’s sit down." He carried the girl and walked straight to one of the top eight plans, sitting in front of it. The little girl kept wriggling her head to look at Su Yu from a distance, the two pentagrams in her eyes fading in and out.

Su Yu felt occasional abnormal reactions from the "Dark Heart" in his chest. Waves of heat spread from his chest. He knew it was resonance; his "Dark Heart" was resonating with something in the girl’s body.

That "Sealing Eye" was indeed in the little girl. Su Yu glanced at the little girl from afar, then drew back his gaze. But his palms were full of cold sweat.

Anoka and the little girl were very mysterious. Although there were terrifying powerhouses of city lords all around, the feelings Su Yu got from Anoka and the little girl were that they were more fearsome than all the other city lord powerhouses combined. These two were indescribably eerie, and Su Yu felt cold sweat trickling down his back, despite having a Demon Divine Beast.

"These two are too eerie, especially that little girl... I can’t put it into words. Although she looks adorable on the outside... it feels like the most wicked thing in the world sleeps within her. This feeling is not solely because she possesses the ’Sealing Eye’. Right, even Doudou who has the ’Destruction Horn’ doesn’t give me this feeling. What exactly is it..." Su Yu muttered. Ada on his shoulder also looked weird. Suddenly, Ada’s voice echoed in his mind: "Neither of these two have Category 5 Lifeforms."

Su Yu felt a shiver down his spine, he glanced at Ada, not quite understanding her words.

Ada’s voice continued to ring in his mind: "Why would a City Lord not have a bonded Category 5 Lifeform? Even if their Category 5 Lifeform takes a different form, or hides in their clothing like Wang Di, at least I should be able to sense it. But Su Yu, do you know what? I didn’t feel it. I didn’t sense that they have a Category 5 Lifeform. This is extremely strange, there must be some problem... Only, I can’t think of it now. Su Yu, be careful of them."

"Mmhm..." Su Yu murmured in response. He noticed that Anoka and the little girl seemed to have stopped paying attention to him. But he knew that since they had discovered the "Dark Heart" within him, how could they let him go? It’s just that they seemed to understand that the current occasion was not suitable...

With the sound of "Ding Dong", the hundred coruscating city lords from parts of the world who presided over their cities had all arrived. Among these city lords, there were humans, humanoid creatures, half-human half-beasts, as well as entirely different species like the beast clans and demon clans. All were from superior races with advanced intellect.

A hundred city lords, all of whom were no less than a Level 7 peak powerhouse, gathered here. Virtually all powerhouses of this world had assembled here.

With the "Ding Dong" sound resounding, the hundred city lords all straightened their chests. They knew, the master of this place, the "Master of the Main City" of this "Main City", was about to appear.

At the head of the hall, with the echo of the "Ding Dong" sound, two groups of men and women, dressed in white robes and wearing white waistbands appeared one after another. Expression on all faces was extremely solemn. Barefooted, they were spotless and soon reached behind the four sets of plans and then divided into two lines and knelt down.

Without even using his Perception Eye, Su Yu could tell at a glance that these fifty men and women in white robes who had suddenly appeared were all Seventh Stage Experts.

Within this "Main City", more than fifty Seventh Stage Experts appeared as soon as it was established. Su Yu felt a chill run down his spine. He finally understood why this city could dominate hundreds of others.

As the fifty men in white robes knelt in prayer, the stone wall adorned with various Demon Gods started to shrink to either side. Su Yu, along with hundreds of other city lords, looked up just in time to see eight royal-dressed women leading a formally dressed woman. She was assisting an old man with white hair and a face full of wrinkles to make his way down the main hall slowly.

This old man, despite his old age and the wrinkles that covered his face, had a grand presence. His strong eyes were filled with a profound dignity; it was the kind of imposing aura that a superior being would naturally emit after centuries of existence. This aura transformed the frail old man into a deity-like figure of immense authority, giant like a Demon God, in everyone’s eyes.

Preserving his amazement, Su Yu glanced at this old man. He couldn’t see through the old man’s true nature, even with his "Perception Eye". Considered their level, it was common for them to use methods to shield themselves from prying eyes. The mysterious woman in white, who had the same likeness and voice as "Guardian of the Black Iron World" Beth Finley, was also beyond his understanding.

At this moment, Su Yu saw the old man and the white-attired woman -- the Inspector General who had bestowed him the city lord’s seal in Black Iron City -- sit on the grand throne in the palace. As they took their seats, hundreds of Seventh Stage Experts and city lords of various territories bowed in unison, shouting, "We pay homage to the Master of the Main City—!"

Just like everyone else, Su Yu bowed down and echoed their words, but what he murmured was, "I can’t believe the Master of the Main City is such an old man."

As he muttered to himself, Ada’s voice suddenly echoed in his head, "This old man is nearly dead."

Su Yu jolted in surprise and looked towards her.

"He is too old, at the end of his life. Not even Time Coins or Category 5 Lifeforms can save him now," Ada’s voice sounded in Su Yu’s mind, tinged with a hint of regret.

Su Yu wondered, "How is that possible? Doesn’t possessing enough Time Coins ensure everlasting life?"

To which Ada faintly replied, "All living beings will eventually wither away if they do not reach the stage of immortality. He is far too old. His body, after experiencing countless years, has too thoroughly decayed. Even the energy from the Time Coins cannot salvage such a withered body. I think... his remaining life... is short... perhaps... only a few days are left."

Su Yu rose with the other city lords, looking at the old man sitting on the high throne, a strange feeling welled up in his heart. Could such a highly regarded being, who was ruling over hundreds of cities and countless beings, really be on the verge of death in the next few days? And does he himself know it?

"Today is the 500th anniversary of my birth. I have been alive for five centuries..." Seeing all the city lords have taken their seat, the elderly city lord waved his hand and made a resonating announcement. Despite his old age, his voice still held strength, just like a lion. No matter how old it gets, it’s still a lion. And the elderly man was just that, a lion; a dominant figure among all living beings.

All fell silent in the great hall, expressing a mix of amazement, regret, or sadness as they heard about his five centuries of existence.

"Five hundred years... I see. So this old man is quite remarkable..." Ada’s sigh echoed in Su Yu’s mind.

Su Yu also drew in a gasp. The old man before him had lived for five hundred years? Whereas a normal human’s life span was typically around a hundred years.

"Su Yu, did you know? When a human evolves to the Seventh Stage, their life span peaks at three hundred years. This old man evolved even more thoroughly than you, extending his limit to five hundred years... It’s a miracle to see him still alive. However... today might just be the day... I wonder if he could break this limit..."(To be continued. Please follow our website www.qidian.com to read more Chapters. Support your author and the legitimate reading platform!)
