Playing a DPS Role with Absolute Defense-Chapter 288 - 286: Where Is the Human King? Why Haven’t You Come to Pay Homage Yet...

Chapter 288: Chapter 286: Where Is the Human King? Why Haven’t You Come to Pay Homage Yet...

Tu Hongwu looked bewildered at the old man who suddenly knelt before him without speaking.

Wait, who are you calling brother!

I’m not even a hundred years old, and you’re a guy who’s lived for tens of thousands of years calling me brother, isn’t that a bit inappropriate!

Though thinking this, Tu Hongwu didn’t say it out loud, after all, he also had a part in this.

But the problem is, he didn’t know what to do right now.

If it really can’t be helped, he could only wait for his apprentice to get here, and then he would come clean with him.

Let him take his coffin for a spin around the universe, by then his reputation would be established, and no human would dare disobey him.

Though no one dared to defy him before, that was only because Su Mo had a stronger fist. But now, if they obey, it would be out of genuine respect.

It’s like the program he set up is running in a bizarre way now.

All the previous preventive measures and remedies have completely lost their effect, yet it just continues to run, and the final destination is the same.

In this situation, the best way is to leave it alone, otherwise, it might cause bigger errors, ones even beyond remedy.

Indeed, Su Mo not only bugs in his abilities but also in person, playing by his own rules.

Just as Tu Hongwu was about to advise the old dragon, he saw his expression change sharply: "I can’t sense Earth’s information anymore."

Tu Hongwu: "??? What’s going on!"

The old dragon frowned and thought for a moment before saying: "It seems a seal on your Earth has been released, and it’s evolving towards a higher-level world now."

Tu Hongwu sighed in relief upon hearing this, almost having a heart attack from that jumpy old dragon.

Been alive for tens of thousands of years, couldn’t he stay calm!

Why must he be so jittery!

"I know this, Earth has always been a great world, but for some reason, it was sealed. This release likely has something to do with my apprentice becoming the Human Emperor. You shouldn’t worry about it, it’s probably not a bad thing.

If anything happens, he should be able to solve it. If he can’t solve it, then I definitely can’t. By the way, do you know what Earth was like before?"

The old dragon shook his head: "I’m not very clear on that, but I do know your region once had significant ties with the Extreme East." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

...

The commotion on Su Mo’s side could hardly go unnoticed by others.

Take, for instance, the Human Race on the West-South Battlefield; in this situation, let alone Divine Level, even Gold Level could sense anomalies beyond the universe.

Not to mention, there were Divine Level experts present on the West-South Battlefield.

For instance, the Zhao Clan, which had fought Su Mo at the apprenticeship ceremony.

In the end, when Su Mo was about to seriously injure him, he was saved by his uncle, who then promised the Zhao Clan would guard the West-South.

Even if Tu Hongwu was not around, they didn’t leave.

Just as they wanted to see what was happening, they heard Su Mo announce: "From today, I declare this wretched race extinct!"

He froze for a moment, then quickly came to his senses and led his brother and nephew toward the starlit skies.

As expected, they soon saw a massive procession of white-robed figures carrying a giant coffin.

People around blew horns and suonas, forming a scene he found somewhat surreal.

Initially confused about the situation, he finally recognized some old comrades in the crowd and confirmed they were indeed his people.

Signaling with his eyes at his nephew, he gathered his emotions and sped toward Su Mo once more.

"Note this down, Blood Slaughter God Tu Hongwu patrolled the West-South, exterminated the Shadow Race, and eternally stabilized the West-South!"

"Su War God, isn’t this a bit inappropriate? After all, Marshal Tu is already..."

"This is my achievement; if I want to give it to my master, can’t I!"

Seeing Su Mo’s fierce gaze, an elder silently noted down: [Blood Slaughter God Tu Hongwu patrolled the West-South, exterminated the Shadow Race, and eternally stabilized the West-South!]

Then, in another little notebook, he wrote: [King carrying his master’s coffin visited the West-South, soul flags eternally settled it]

Later generations would have many debates over this period of history, considering the following account unreliable, labeling it as wild history, or others claiming history above was altered and untrustworthy.

The main historical dispute lay here, with ample text, writings, and images proving Tu Hongwu reportedly died on the ancestor star.

Yet recordings show he patrolled the West-South after death, which was blatantly incorrect.

The wild history’s contention mainly puzzled folks over who this "King" was!

This King appeared in many wild histories, but no historical or official record clarified who exactly this King was!

Was it a peerless powerhouse named Wang, a King-level individual, or a great King!

But debating this led to disagreement; the King had vanished ages before that era, so it could only be someone King-level or a powerhouse surnamed Wang.

King-level was barely enough to survive in the starlit skies; thus, this couldn’t hold true, leaving the best chance that this King was a certain peerless powerhouse surnamed Wang!

But that’s a later conversation, for now, let’s not discuss it.

Zhao Mingjue, with his brother and nephew, flew directly to Su Mo, who was still holding a huge soul-summoning banner, and clasped his hands, saying: "Commander of the West-South Battlefield, Zhao Mingjue, greets Su, greets the Human Emperor!"

Beside Zhao Mingjue, Zhao Ming Seal and his sons were momentarily stunned but quickly realized and shouted as well: "Greet the Human Emperor!"

Hearing this, Su Mo was momentarily stunned before realizing that the "Human Emperor" was himself.

Having been acknowledged by the Human Emperor Cauldron, calling him the Human Emperor was not wrong, yet nobody had called him that before, even the ones following him still addressed him as Su War God.

Hearing it for the first time almost caught him off guard.

Actually, some people had discussed previously whether to call Su Mo the Human Emperor, but considering such a major event should be handled elaborately, it went unmentioned.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Mingjue’s family initiated it.

"No need for such formalties. My master just happened to clear this place; henceforth, no need to garrison the West-South Battlefield, you may return home."

"But, we once swore with Marshal Tu to guard the West-South eternally..."

Su Mo frowned: "There’s no more West-South to guard, why stay? Competing with my master for credit? Quickly gather your soldiers, reunite families, and await assignments upon my return!"

"Understood!"

Upon saying that, Su Mo continued to lead the funeral procession forward.

However, at this moment, Earth underwent monumental changes.

The entire Earth expanded nearly a hundredfold, showing no sign of stopping.

Original smaller dungeons fused with Earth, releasing all monsters within.

Not just low-level dungeons, even some high-level dungeons vanished, too.

Simultaneously, many new dungeons emerged.

With Su Mo and numerous Divine Level experts absent, Earth was left defenseless, with many veteran King-level experts participating in the procession, tossing paper money, and playing suona.

The remaining Kings were helpless facing these suddenly spawned monsters, primarily because Earth was now so vast, even they were unfamiliar with many locations.

While they could fly and find large beasts, searching for smaller creatures felt like finding a needle in a haystack.

Whether due to Earth’s expansion or its unfinished transformation, they found communication with outsiders impossible at that moment.

They couldn’t even fly out.

It was as if an invisible barrier trapped them in the sky.

Not even the remaining Divine Level experts could escape Earth’s bounds.

Just as the Human Race was at its wits’ end, a Buddhist chant echoed.

[Amitabha!]

A gigantic Buddha apparition appeared in the sky, its golden radiance blinding.

Illuminating the entire world, those under its glow lost their hair rapidly, turning bald within moments.

Their previously panic-stricken expressions turned serene, some might say even a bit dull.

Individually, they kowtowed toward the immense Buddha figure, then folded their hands and softly uttered, "Amitabha!"

The great Buddha figure hovered, surveying Earth, brows furrowed: "Amitabha, the Human Emperor has already manifested, why delay in hastening to pay homage to Buddha!"
