Hou Pseudo Emperor looked at Su Yu with his ferocious face. He wasn't even angry. That was simply how he usually looked like. He asked, "Emperor Yu, are you saying that we have been cultivating the wrong dao? Am I incompatible with my father's dao?"

How was that possible?

Su Yu nodded and explained, "Your father was never a savage. You can only blame Martial King for leading your father astray."

Was this for real?

Hou Pseudo Emperor was unwilling to believe that. He would rather believe that his father was a ferocious beast. Back then, his father had devoured countless experts while following Martial King, fully showcasing his brutish nature.

And now, Su Yu was saying that his father was originally gentle? How confusing.

But Su Yu was someone with a Heaven Gate. And Hou Pseudo Emperor had indeed been stuck for too many years. He had only reached the third tier due to his sheer age.

Had he truly been wrong?

He looked at Skyeater and the others. If that was the case, the hou race would probably keep failing to produce actual peak experts. But dao switching was very risky as well. There was no promise that the new dao would be compatible with them.

But after giving it some thought, he agreed, "Since Emperor Yu believes that I'm incompatible with my father's dao, I'm willing to switch. But forget about September's dao."

He did not want to cultivate the same dao as the iron devourers. It might lead to an unwanted conflict in the future.

Su Yu said, "Sure. But we won't be doing it right now. When I'm done stabilizing the hole and the river, I'll take you on a trip along the river to look for a suitable dao. It's fine if you can't break through this time. You still have more opportunities to break through in the future."

Hou Pseudo Emperor nodded, but inwardly, he was feeling terrible. Had he been cultivating the wrong dao all along? It was so hard to believe. But he had no choice but to trust Su Yu. Why? Because Soy Bun had reached the level of a heavenly king not long after receiving Su Yu's guidance. The same had also happened to the old turtle.

These people had cultivated their daos wrongly due to the lack of guidance from someone with the Heaven Gate. And finally, Su Yu had brought them back to the right path. And after that, they had all successfully become heavenly kings.

For now, there was nothing Su Yu could do for the hous. As for the others, the breakthroughs continued.

Flatbun was aware that she was indeed the devour dao, so she was happily devouring the dao power around her. For her, this was a great dao to cultivate as it did not require the usage of her brain. She only needed to eat. That was all. And she was stubborn enough to put this dao to a good use. Take her previous battle as an example. She had forcefully swallowed several Eternals, to the point where they had self-detonated within her body. Only someone as stubborn as her could do something like that.

After some time, an burst of aura erupted from Flatbun's body. An aura seemingly capable of devouring all of existence.

Tier-two Daofuse.

Flatbun was overjoyed as she continued devouring the dao power around her. She even had the urge to eat September as well. For some reason, September was starting to smell nice to her.

***

After an indeterminate amount of time.

Boom!

Lan Tian's voice rang out, "The flow of the myriad daos is now stable!"

Joy flickered in Su Yu's eyes as he said, "Alright. We're done here. Everyone, you can go back down."

Everyone had benefited massively by staying up here with him.

But he knew that this couldn't continue further. When he looked around, he grimaced. Both the Mark of Civilization and Xing Yu's token were on the verge of breaking apart. If he waited any longer, both treasures would truly fall apart.

The various experts descended one after another, their auras both stronger and wilder.

They still cultivated the same daos. But after comprehending the purest form of their respective daos, their daos were no longer as gentle as before. The number of peak experts among them had grown. Soy Bun and Fate Pseudo Emperor had both advanced into the level of heavenly kings.

All in all, Great Zhou King, Lan Tian, Wan Tiansheng, Cloud Fire Marquis, Fat Ball, Soy Bun, Fate Pseudo Emperor, Royal Consort Qi, and Grand Dream were heavenly kings. Coupled with Su Yu, who could return to that level at any time, they could now amass ten heavenly kings at any given time.

There was also a large number of what Su Yu called tier-two Daofuses among them.

Great Qin King, Great Xia King, Flatbun, Brave Martial General, Stable Army Marquis, Great Ming King, Heavenbridge Marquis, September, and June were all tier-two Daofuses. Even the Spatial Beast Pseudo Emperor was only a step away from that level.

As for Grandstar and Heavendoom, they had reached the third tier. The Hou Pseudo Emperor, book spirit, and tea plant were at this level as well.

The various newly advanced guardians, people like Bountiful Treasure, Tian Yue, and Chong Ming were all tier-four Daofuses. Some of them, such as Empyrean Cloud, were not far away from the third tier.

Empyrean Cloud had advanced at around the same time as Heavendoom and the others. But she had stayed behind in the Lower Realm. As a result, Heavendoom had overtaken her.

Xia Longwu was already a tier-four Daofuse as well.

One could say that Su Yu had gathered an assembly of geniuses. Topsoil Spirit, in particular, was a unique existence who could probably grow rapidly like September, reaching the level of a heavenly king before anyone knew it.

After all, the five elemental dao was pioneered by the Five Elemental Ancestor, and Topsoil Spirit was the incarnation of the Five Elemental Ancestor. He had just advanced into the Daofuse Realm, but given enough time, he would definitely reach the level of a heavenly king.

Su Yu smiled.

Great Han King, Great Shang King, Great Tang King, and Great Song King had all reached the Daofuse Realm.

As for Stable Army Marquis' subordinates, Chong Ming was the only one who had broken through into the Daofuse Realm. However, two of Cloud Fire Marquis' had attained Daofuse. A general called Ying Chao under Brave Martial General had also reached the Daofuse Realm.

Thus, Su Yu was grinning ear to ear right after he exited the River of Time. The strength of his faction had increased instead of dropped.

Several experts had left his camp, such as Shadow Marquis, Cloud Water Marquis, South Suppression Marquis, and Wen Qi. However, the strength of his camp had still grown.

Su Yu looked around and said, "I'll keep stabilizing the flow around the hole. Continue working on your comprehension, everyone. After this, take a break for three days and properly digest your gains. Then, I'll take everyone to the chaos. There, I will pioneer my dao. All of you can take that chance to grow even further."

Everyone was overjoyed to hear that. What a wonderful feeling! Their sorrow from their forced migration had all been forgotten. As of this moment, the entire hopeless migration had turned into nothing but a farce.

With ten heavenly kings on his side, could Hundred Battle King really take over humanity from him? Was that a joke? Hundred Battle King was strong enough to face three or even five Venerables. But so what?

Lan Tian and Wan Tiansheng could handle Yue Qin when joining hands, even if they couldn't win. Thus, ten heavenly kings were definitely enough to handle Hundred Battle King.

Everyone bowed and roared, "Thank you, Emperor Yu!"

They all owed him the favor of dao transmission. The dao could not be transmitted lightly. However, Su Yu had freely transmitted the dao to them without holding back. This was a benefit that those from the other eras had never enjoyed.

Su Yu said, "Let's continue, everyone. This has also been a great opportunity for me to deepen my comprehension. Allow me to thank everyone for working alongside me in this."

Then, he resumed his work on the hole.

He started forming a barrier, creating a tributary of sorts to connect the River of Time and this realm. Once that was done, those residing here would be able to cultivate as usual, even if the realm was deep inside the Death Realm.

One could say that Su Yu had created a land of bliss amid the Death Realm.

Perhaps Culture King and the others were also capable of doing something like this in the ancient past.

But they hadn't done so due to some misgivings. Maybe they had refrained from doing it out of respect for the master of the death spirit dao. Thus, they had chosen to create a new realm in the Upper Realm instead of down here. But Su Yu did not share their concern.

For him, it didn't matter. These old fossils were free to return and talk to him about it if they were unhappy. But he believed that by the time these old fossils returned, Culture King and the others would have returned as well. With those people back, he could relax and let them worry about all these matters.

Building the barrier was also difficult, but Su Yu was treating this as a test and an attempt. Without this attempt, he would most likely encounter numerous problems during his coming dao pioneering.

He could find the solutions when he encountered these problems now, but it would be much harder to find the solutions while he was in the middle of pioneering a dao. He worked seriously. Lan Tian and the others worked seriously as well.

Slowly, order was returned to the chaotic dao powers in the Celestial Chasm Realm. At the same time, Wan Tiansheng was issuing orders to the other experts who were no longer required, sending them to smooth the terrain of the Celestial Chasm Realm out and redistribute the thirty-six ancient cities throughout the realm.

Fifty million people would be living here soon. It was a new start for many of them. They also needed to start worrying about food production. They had brought enough food to last them decades, but production was still necessary. Thus, they had to open up some farmlands in the realm.

It would be even better if they could create a living space similar to the previous living space of all these people. That way, it would be easier for everyone to adapt to life here. Everyone worked busily.

People could be seen all over the Celestial Chasm Realm. Before long, Wan Tiansheng released some Mountainseas and Cloudbreaches to help as well. And after some time, even the Skysoars were released.

The remaining death qi was dispersed, and the random death spirits still in the Celestial Chasm Realm were killed. Everyone was working in harmony. And everyone was filled with hope as they rebuilt their homes here. They all believed that they would return one day. But they also believed in the necessity of living a better life here.

The flow through the newly dug hole was still quite fast, so the entire realm was filled with dense dao power.

Wan Tiansheng was also raining source qi all over the realm. They had plundered a lot of treasures from the Myriad Realms. Heavenly source fruit trees were planted everywhere. One could say that the resources of the Myriad Realms were being used to support only fifty million people.

After all the work here, this realm would remain a strategic location even after their return to their homelands in the future.

Buildings were constructed everywhere.

Many of these buildings were actually moved directly from the Human Realm. One after another, they were released and placed on the ground.

Academies, libraries, treasure vaults, ancient cities.

And slowly, the dark Celestial Chasm Realm turned bright.

Wan Tiansheng had a few others had joined hands to construct a large star in the sky.

The star worked as both the sun and the moon. Half the star was bright and the other half was dark.

"The people of the thirty-six prefectures can be reassigned to the thirty-six ancient cities based on their origin.

"The buildings inside the ancient cities will no longer emit death qi. The thirty-six death tunnels have been sealed."

More and more people were released.

They came from thirty-six different prefectures. With thirty-six ancient cities available, they could continue staying among their own people if they wanted to.

"The five elementals, iron devurers, hous, and spatial beasts have different living habits. You may all rebuild your holy lands for habitation. Emperor Yu will bear all the costs for that."

Wan Tiansheng continued making the arrangements. He was trying to settle everyone down in the time Su Yu took to finish building the barrier around the hole. This was an era of powerhouses.

Even the rebuilding of an entire realm could be completed rapidly. They could easily move a large amount of resources and materials through teleportation or spatial storage tools. They didn't even need to move construction materials around. Rather, they only needed to source the stones locally for their construction needs.

Under Wan Tiansheng's request, over ten thousand earth elementals were stabilizing the grounds and building roads all over the realm. The construction was made much easier with the help of the five elementals.

They were good at paving roads, creating new irrigation channels, and even cultivating plants. As time passed, the entire realm became filled with greenery. With the help of the wood elementals, these plants were growing at an accelerated rate.

The spatial beasts were also doing a lot of help. Thanks to them, connections were instantly established between the thirty-six cities. Meanwhile, the iron devourers could only watch helplessly. They even needed the five elementals to help with their bamboo mountains.
