Chapter 646: Chapter 496: God Said, Let There Be Light (2nd Update)

Su Yu, who was sitting on top of the ground, had already stood up. In just a moment, he had finally managed to recall all that had occurred earlier. He abruptly got up, exclaiming, "This isn’t right, I killed those five men in silver robes. They definitely won’t take this lying down. We need to return to ’Black Iron City’ immediately."

As he finished this thought, he suddenly realised the terrifying weakness of his body, which was no bigger than a three or four-year-old child. The gasification mysterious power, the golden blood, the power of the Dark Heart – all of it had disappeared. Had this body reverted to being an ordinary human?

The wooden man seemed to anticipate his thoughts and smiled, saying, "Little one, what are you worried about? Really, even I’m a bit envious of your body right now... It’s like a blank paper of the purest sort. Whatever picture you want to sketch on this paper, it will now depend entirely on your will. Remember this will; when God said, ’Let there be light,’ there was light."

Upon hearing this, the wooden man smiled again. Su Yu, his eyes wide, watched the wooden man. He couldn’t help but mull over what he had just heard. A certain understanding began to dawn on him and he blurted out, "I want to become a Black Iron Warrior."

As soon as he finished this sentence, ’creak, creak’ noises could again be heard from within his body. His body underwent another mutation and grew taller quickly. He soon appeared as a five or six-year-old child. As he clutched his left hand, black scales appeared on the back of it. And thereby, special power was finally reborn inside his left arm. Swinging his arm a bit caused a smile to appear on Su Yu’s face. This feeling was extremely familiar and he felt absolutely comfortable with it.

Perhaps he could choose to transform in a way that was even more powerful, but he was already accustomed to the evolution of the Black Iron Warrior. Thus, he instinctively chose to become a Black Iron Warrior once again, thereby becoming a Zero-Level Black Iron warrior.

Ma Ziye, seeing Su Yu who had now grown to the size of a five or six-year-old child, was finally able to make out the semblance of the old Su Yu from his face.

Ada however lamented, "Su Yu, why did you choose to become a Black Iron Warrior? What if you had said, ’I want to become a god’... What would have happened then? Could you have become a god instantly?"

Su Yu was stunned for a moment. He then smiled slightly and shook his head, saying, "Ada, that’s just building castles in the sky. To achieve immortality, one has to start from the basics. We can’t be too ambitious. I think this feeling right now, it is very good."

It was comparable to building a skyscraper. If you want the building to be taller, you need to lay a more solid foundation. If the foundation is not stable, the taller the building, the quicker it will collapse and become ruined. Su Yu understood this principle well.

Even though he was only a Zero-Level Black Iron Warrior, Su Yu believed that he would soon regain his former strength. He could directly say, "I want to become an Eighth Stage Black Iron Warrior," and maybe he could indeed evolve into one instantly. But Su Yu knew that such hastily gained power would be brittle. He wanted to cultivate and evolve himself once again, and would not take the seemingly bright shortcut that was riddled with illusions and mental demons.

The wooden man had been watching Su Yu. After a long time, he sighed and said, "Good boy, even though you’re still very far from immortality, your self-control has the power to rival a god." An approving look appeared on the wooden man’s face.

Ada turned to look at the wooden man and asked, "Wooden man, how do you know about the existence of this cocoon in this world? Moreover, where exactly is this world? It’s so strange. This is not one of the Ten Great Elemental Spaces, and it’s not the Black Iron World either."

The wooden man gave a slight smile. It seemed that he did not want to say much about this world and the cocoon’s affairs, but simply said, "Okay, it’s time to go back." He paused before adding, "But I must warn you, after you return, you might face even more terrifying attacks. If you hide here, you’ll be safe for now. I don’t think they can find this place even if their abilities are ten times stronger." As he said this, a confident look appeared on his face.

Without giving it much thought, Su Yu stood up and said, "Let’s go back right away." He couldn’t possibly hide here and watch as their comrades remaining in "Black Iron City" were attacked and killed.

Upon seeing this, the wooden man nodded, without further comment. He conjured a beam of golden light, which entered Ada’s forehead and amplified her power hundreds of times. The group then set out to return to "Black Iron City".

On returning to "Black Iron City" they heaved a sigh of relief. Despite the city being a mess, it seemed that following the deaths of the five holy envoys, there had not been any further attacks. Su Yu was slightly relieved, but as soon as they returned, they were immediately surrounded by a large crowd.

"Su Yu, where’s Su Yu? Is he alright now?" Zhang Zhongmou’s voice resounded loudly, above all others.

Returning to "Black Iron City", Su Yu felt as if he had been reborn. Having tasted death once, he had developed a new understanding of many things. It seemed as if his soul had undergone a kind of metamorphosis.

Watching the familiar faces of Zhang Zhongmou, Lei Leian, Lei Rui, Su Yun, Zhao Shichang, Jin Fuhua, Ouyang Nuo, and others charging up to him, a smile surfaced on Su Yu’s face. Although his current outward appearance was that of a five or six-year-old, the aura emanating from his body suggested that he had transcended this world.

The people in front of him, looking at this little boy, displayed weird expressions on their faces. After a while, Zhang Zhongmou finally broke the silence with a wail, "Su Yu? Isn’t that Su Yu as a child? Damn...this..this...this is just too bizarre..."

Ma Ziye smiled and said, "Yes, this is Su Yu." As she gazed at her friend, now reduced to his childhood appearance, there was abundant maternal love in her eyes.

Lei Leian, looking at the pint-sized Su Yu who was not even as tall as her leg, wore an extremely strange expression. Everyone was taken aback for a good while, only recovering when Su Yu started calling out everyone by their name. They had no choice but to accept the reality, that this child in front of them was Su Yu.

Su Yun stepped forward, her face expressing both joy and sorrow, she stammered with her head down, "Su Yu, I...I’m sorry... I didn’t know... I even scolded you... I..."

With a slight smile, Su Yu shook his head and then, clad only in an adult overcoat taken out of his storage ring, said, "I don’t blame you. Actually, if I had activated the power of the ’Dark Heart’ a bit earlier, so many people wouldn’t have been killed or injured." There was a twinge of sadness in his eyes as he said this.

In reality, he couldn’t activate the five-layer seal of the "Dark Heart" anytime he wanted. At the time, it was due to the shock he had experienced causing his emotions to surge, which triggered the unsealing automatically. But he didn’t care to explain that much; it was no use talking about the people who had died.

As Su Yu spoke, everyone fell silent. The atmosphere of profound sadness pervaded the entire "Black Iron City". Looking up at the sky, Su Yu said, "Everyone, pack up your things. We’ll abandon this place for now and retreat to the Skeleton Ice City."

Then, he summoned the Crowned Woman. As soon as everyone entered the Skeleton Ice City, he immediately ordered the activation of the Ice City, directing it toward the Eastern Ocean beyond the Demon Beast Mountain Range.

Many were lost in this battle at the "Black Iron City". Su Yu’s familiar comrades, Zhou Birong and Ruan Minghong, died. Jin Fuhua lost one of her main supporters Wang Yiping. Numerous unnamed individuals also died. Qin Jiagui remained unconscious and Diu Diu was severely injured. Thankfully, the power of the Destruction Horn kept Diu Diu’s life hanging by a thread.

Su Yu’s immediate issuance of orders after his return, signaling everyone to retreat back to Skeleton Ice City, left everyone with a clear understanding that this was far from over; the foes that were about to appear would be even more terrifying.

Jin Fuhua, despite not fully grasping the enormity of the looming struggle, sensed an approaching crisis, he just couldn’t help but remind, "Even if we retreat to the Skeleton Ice City, we might still not be safe. Why don’t we find refuge in a Sixth-Class Elemental Space or retreat into the Heavenly Pit Forest?" He remembered that the rules of the Heavenly Pit Forest forbade anyone above the Black Iron Fourth Order from attacking, conceiving that hiding there might be a good idea.

Ada immediately shook her head, "No use. If we went into the Heavenly Pit Forest, they could use a Scroll of Seclusion to temporarily block out the rules. And it doesn’t matter which Elemental Space we enter, they could find us with just a little bit of time. Now, we have nowhere left to retreat to, we have no choice but to fight.

Gazing at the group congregated before him, Su Yu, Ada, Mr. Wood, the Crowned Woman, Ouyang Nuo, Zhang Zhongmou, Lei Leian, and Ma Ziye, he quietly said, "That’s right, there’s nowhere left to retreat to, and no necessity for it either. Now, all we can do is muster all our strength, prepare for a fight till the death. Let’s move."

A dense cloud of fear hung over everyone’s heart. No one believed that killing five of the enemy’s Silver robed figures would put an end to this. They dared to wager that the next wave to come would be even more terrifying. But like what Su Yu said, they had completely run out of places to run to; all they could do was face it head-on.

"Su Yu, you’re making the Skeleton Ice City retreat back to the ’Vast Ocean’. Are you planning to use the 365 ’Eskimos’ sealed under the ocean?" Ada asked.

With a faint smile, Su Yu replied, "And the vortexes caused by the Heart of Jianmu sealed in the Demon Beast Mountain Range..." At this, he murmured, "If... if only we all died... If we didn’t have any hope left... Then, I wouldn’t have anything to worry about. Even if we all died, I would make our enemies pay a heavy price that they could never imagine."

Hearing Su Yu’s words, Ada fell silent. She finally understood. If the companions that Su Yu cherished met a tragic end, Su Yu definitely wouldn’t want to live alone. But before that happened, he would definitely make some desperate moves. He wanted their opponents to understand that even though they were merely a swarm of ants, they still had the ability to devour an elephant. (End of this part.
