A farm that breeds gods and demons
Chapter 956 - 719: Lost Heaven and Earth_1

If it was just Black Iron or Bronze level, having a better secret treasure or other means, it’s quite common to challenge across several levels, and there’s nothing surprising about it. For instance, when Su Yu was in the Black Iron Realm, his liquefied special power was over a thousand times that of his peers. However, as one advances to higher realms, the gap between each level starts to grow larger and larger, even as vast as the heavens and the earth. Just like a Demi-God at the peak, encountering a Divine Spirit stepping out of the Demi-God Realm, it’s almost like the difference between ants and humans. This shows that challenging across levels or defeating the Immortal right after achieving the status of Divine Spirit is nearly impossible."

"Originally, it was impossible, but, Su Yu, your talent... plus me as your teacher... and your special body, along with the power of that will... as well as the energy core of the Chaos Staff... When all these are combined, what was impossible might become reality," he said.

"In short, starting today, you should go and say farewell to your friends. For the next year, you will follow my commands and arrangements. You are my last bet, not just for you, but also for me, Tezcatlipoca. No matter what, we can only win, not lose."

Tezcatlipoca spoke solemnly, then disappeared into Su Yu’s consciousness. Su Yu knew that he had returned to the Chaos Core inside the storage ring. He was giving himself time to handle some matters for the Black Warriors, as Tezcatlipoca would arrange special training for him, away from the Black Warriors.

Decided on his course, Su Yu didn’t hesitate in the slightest. What he needed most now was strength, more than anyone, only with absolute strength would he have the right to speak, to protect the family, friends, and lover he wanted to protect.

Rising to his feet, he let out a long howl and leapt into the air. Behind him, a pair of silver wings whooshed open. Su Yu soared high, landing steadily in front of a group of Black Warriors under the gaze of Qi Ming and the others.

He found Wang Heng, Zhang Kuo, Ming Jing, Qin Jiagui, and Qing Huang, and told them of his departure. He explained that he would take Ada with him and train alone, asking them not to worry about him.

Although Wang Heng and the others were worried, Su Yu and Ada were determined, and there was nothing they could do but accept it.

"Su Yu, are you really going alone? Why don’t you come with me? In five more months, our Phoenix Clan will go to war with the Dragon Clan, and I’m still far from strong enough. I need to train too," Qing Huang said, holding on to Su Yu’s sleeve, reluctant to part.

Su Yu smiled and shook his head, "Qing Huang, this time, I must go alone. But I promise you, I will return in five months. If your Phoenix Clan truly goes to war with the Dragon Clan, I will not stand by and ignore it."

Qing Huang giggled and said, "If Brother Su Yu could conjure another body with six heads and six wings, you could wipe out all those stinky dragons in one fell swoop."

Su Yu did not commit either way, only smiling subtly, "If nothing unexpected happens, I won’t be returning halfway. Everyone, see you in five months."

After making his promise, Su Yu took only the most necessary essentials, put them into his storage ring, waved goodbye to Qin Jiagui, Qing Huang, and the others, and finally left Black Martial City to embark on his first solo training journey since arriving in the Upper Realm.

Having only one year, he had no time to waste. Within a year, he had to make his final stand, no matter what.

Qin Jiagui, Qing Huang, and the others watched as Su Yu left alone, taking Ada with him, trudging through the snow. Qin Jiagui shouted loudly, "Su Yu, give it your all! In five months, don’t let yourself fall behind me."

Su Yu laughed heartily, waving at them from a distance. He sped up and soon disappeared into the "Million Great Mountains."

As Su Yu continued his journey, Tezcatlipoca instructed him in his mind, "The most important thing right now is to enter the Demi-God Realm. You are already at the Ninth Level Peak as a Silver Soldier, and with the acceptance of the Power of the World, you have a great chance to step into the Demi-God."

Upon hearing this, Su Yu responded, "Senior, should I now enter the thunderclouds above the sky, where the Darkness Lightning formed from the Power of the World is located?"

At that time, he had advanced from Bronze to Silver by entering that place and enduring the baptism of the raging Power of the World, but the pain of that experience was certainly unbearable.

Tezcatlipoca let out a light scoff, "That’s a place only fools would go. Tell me, when you entered from the Black Iron World to the Bronze Tower World, and then from the Bronze Tower World into this world, did those two baptisms by the Power of the World also feel so violent?"

Caught off guard, Su Yu paused. If Tezcatlipoca hadn’t brought it up, he might not have considered it, but now that he thought about it, the Power of the World he felt during those two times was nothing like the violent Darkness Lightning here, and the process wasn’t as terrifying or painful.

"Old senior, could it be..." Su Yu began to understand there was an issue there, and Tezcatlipoca laughed heartily, "Call me teacher. It excites me to guide a disciple like you... Although I, Tezcatlipoca, have created the three clans, revered as the progenitor by them, the process and the hardships endured are not easily put into words. The most important thing is, I took many wrong turns, and due to one misstep, all subsequent steps were wrong, resulting in my current fate. If I had a teacher back then to guide me on each step, without any detour, today, my soul wouldn’t have been shattered, not calculated against by my descendants, and fallen to such a state, alas..."
