Chapter 955: Chapter 718: The Day the Era Ends_1

Ada slowly nodded, and Tezcatlipoca frowned, saying, "No, that’s not right, something about this is still incorrect..."

Su Yu also hummed in agreement and asked, "If that were the case, gathering these bugs into this world would make sense, but why then is it said that this will lead to a great disaster, one that even gods cannot survive? Elder, do you know?"

Tezcatlipoca gave a bitter smile and said, "It has always been legend, that on the day of the end, the gods will fall..."

"Ada, you’ve experienced the end of the Fourth Era, you should know," Su Yu eagerly inquired.

Ada shook her head and said slowly, "The question now is, if everything thus far is true, what was the purpose of the ’person’ who planted this ’universe’ fruit tree? Why cultivate so many bugs?"

Tezcatlipoca slowly suggested, "Let’s consider another hypothesis, let’s assume that the one who planted this fruit tree was not a person, but another bug, a very strong bug... then, everything can be explained."

With that, Tezcatlipoca waved his hand, and beneath this great tree, there was a bug that kept growing bigger, quickly becoming as tall as the great tree itself.

"This strong bug, with wisdom surpassing all other bugs, knew how to cultivate fruit trees and then used the fruits to breed countless new bugs, making it all seem quite natural..."

This time, Ada didn’t say more, but just looked at the bug that was as massive as the fruit tree, then at the countless small bugs slowly crawling below, and at the fruit tree itself.

Su Yu frowned slightly, understanding some of it, but at the same time, more doubts sprung up. Which explanation was more accurate? Or were they all incorrect?

"Regardless of the speculation, one fact is absolutely true: on the day of the end, horror will unfold... Even immortals may decay... and gods will not escape the great disaster... Kid, I took a liking to you, that’s why I responded to you within the Chaos Staff and unlocked its seal. You are the only one in a thousand years that I’ve encountered with a glimmer of hope... although that hope is very slim, just one in a billion," Tezcatlipoca said, his expression suddenly turning serious as he stared at Su Yu.

Ada looked at Tezcatlipoca and suddenly said, "You must know something, like why you were seriously injured back then... With your soul shattered, although I’ve lost many memories, I can still see how strong you were. You might have been even stronger than the Immortals. What could have hurt you so badly...?"

At this point, Tezcatlipoca’s face showed a clear hint of fear, but he quickly shook his head and said, "The time isn’t right; discussing this now is premature. I just want to say, you have one year left, and also, I know what Tlorlok, that kid, is thinking—why he can stomach his pride and tolerate you... As long as you haven’t reached the Divine Spirit Realm, he will put up with you."

Su Yu was shaken and looked towards Tezcatlipoca, now understanding that Tlorlok referred to that Immortal from the Aztec Clan.

"Why? Why wait until I become a Divine Spirit? What exactly is Tlorlok’s scheme?" Ada couldn’t guess either, but she vaguely knew it had something to do with Su Yu’s special body and that Giant Will.

"This matter is also why I chose you. Do you know why, once you entered the ’Chaos Staff’ and devoured the energy left by Tlorlok, the seal of the Chaos Staff was lifted? It’s because of that brief contact, I realized that you must be the one the legend speaks of..." he began, and suddenly stopped.

"The legend speaks of what?" Su Yu felt a chill in his heart, knowing Tezcatlipoca was referring to the origin of his special body and that will.

Yet Tezcatlipoca shook his head and said, "I don’t know how to describe it; it’s a nightmare-like memory, beyond words. Only when you reach that level will you understand, and I don’t understand why that would be inside you. Yes, this is the way to describe it..."

With that said, Tezcatlipoca hastened to wave his hand, and next to the original fruit tree and the massive, strong bug, another equally vigorous bug emerged.

"Suppose this strong bug, for reasons unknown, died, but its power and will... they surfaced within one of the countless tiny bugs below... within one of them. Yes, that’s the right analogy... That tiny bug is now you."

After Tezcatlipoca finished speaking, Su Yu’s body shook violently, and his face revealed a horrified expression as he looked toward the blue-robed elder before him.

"Of course, this is just a hypothesis of mine, because even now, I can’t be entirely certain of its veracity. It’s just easier to explain it this way, and you will understand a bit more clearly why Tlorlok has taken an interest in you, and moreover, the will hidden within you is also the reason I have taken an interest in you."

Tezcatlipoca was very direct in his explanation, and amidst Su Yu’s shock, he continued: "Unfortunately, no matter how strong and intelligent this dead insect was, it is after all dead. Its wisdom has faded away, leaving only a will behind. Although this will is powerful, you can’t exert much strength from it, at most making you only slightly stronger than other small weak insects; yet you are not a match for other much stronger insects... Among the countless insects below, those who are stronger all want to escape this place... to become as tall and strong as a tree..."

Su Yu slowly nodded his head. Tezcatlipoca’s explanation was clear, and he heard it clearly, but the only doubt was that all these so-called universes and trees, the Earth and fruits, or humans and pests, were all just theories, as if a monkey living deep in the mountains, having never seen the entirety of the mountain, was hypothesizing the shape of the mountain, or like a frog at the bottom of a well, only able to see the sky through the well’s mouth, having never seen the complete sky, how could it understand what the complete sky looks like?

"One only fails to see the true face of Mount Lu because one is standing in the midst of it."

Suddenly, a verse popped into Su Yu’s mind; whether it was him, or the ancestor of the three clans Tezcatlipoca, or even Ada who had experienced the Fourth Era, all were born within this "Mount Lu." Did they really know the true face of "Mount Lu"?

They didn’t know, and no one could provide them with a definite answer; the explanation they were offering was the most practical theory their imaginations could muster.

"Regardless, at least until the Divine Spirit Realm is attained or the end of the Fifth Epoch arrives, Tlorlok will not bring harm to you. We still have one year’s time," Tezcatlipoca said at last, his face showing a grave expression.

Su Yu suddenly bowed deeply to him, saying respectfully, "Old Senior, I hope you can guide me?"

According to Ada, Tezcatlipoca’s past strength was even greater than that of the "Aztec Clan’s" Immortal Tlorlok. Simply considering how the Chaos Staff had driven so many divine spirits to madness was indicative of how powerful Tezcatlipoca once was.

Wouldn’t he make the best teacher?

Ada might have once been great, but after all, he was currently in the eighth phase of growth, with much of his memory missing.

"You don’t need to ask; I would help you regardless. Of course, helping you is actually helping myself too. This is also the reason I chose you," Tezcatlipoca said, nodding slightly at Su Yu, then said through gritted teeth: "Aztec, Inca, Maya Clan, you damned traitors, you ruthless descendants, I must give you an unexpected shock. Although we have only one year, with me, Tezcatlipoca, personally guiding you, and with your talent as well as your unprecedented potential, I believe we can give those damned folks... no, all ’insects,’ even the ’big insect,’ a most shocking surprise, ha, hahaha—"

Tezcatlipoca suddenly burst out laughing, his right hand waved fiercely, and the nearby fruit tree, that huge insect, and the countless small insects, all crumbled away into nothingness.

Su Yu, hearing this, couldn’t help feeling excited. If he were to choose a teacher, this remaining soul of Tezcatlipoca would indeed make the best mentor, certainly not an unwarranted reputation as the ancestor of the "Maya Clan," "Inca Clan," and "Aztec" Clan.

At this moment, what Qi Ming and the other Black Warriors could see from afar was Su Yu and Ada, who had been sitting cross-legged alone on a solitary peak since early on, not moving an inch. The Black Warriors exchanged glances, all confounded, not knowing what Lord Ada and the Master of Companion of this generation were up to. Could it be that by simply sitting cross-legged there, one could comprehend and break through to the Demi-God Realm?

Su Yu was now at the peak condition of the Silver Level.

"Old Senior, you mentioned that once I reach the Divine Spirit Realm, that Aztec Immortal Tlorlok will make his move against me? If the Divine Spirit Realm means being like the Maya’s nine Pillar Gods, then that’s far from being a match for Tlorlok," Su Yu pondered his doubts aloud.

Tezcatlipoca chuckled, saying dismissively, "It’s easy to solve. Just let yourself possess the power to match or even surpass Immortal beings when you become a divine spirit, then will he dare to harm you? No, it will be your turn to give him trouble."
