Chapter 1291: Ancient History (3)
Suddenly, the young man said, "Let's stop here. This is ancient history. I can only say that humanity is indeed blessed by the heavens for surviving until now."
He had been repeating this point again and again. After thinking about it, Su Yu nodded in agreement. True. After so many defeats, and after the extinction of so many races, humanity still persisted. It must not have been easy. In fact, the same could be said about the other ancient races. Just surviving for so long was in itself an impressive achievement.
The young man moved on from the topic with a question, "Are you sure you want to be the mayor of this city?"
After a slight hesitation, Su Yu nodded, "Yes. I wish to be the mayor of this city."
The young man smiled, "You don't have to rush your decision. Before making you the mayor, I need to explain some things to you. This city is known as the Grand Dream City. It has existed since the ancient past. It is also the first of the thirty-six cities. Without this city, the other thirty-five cities would not come to be. The death spirit race is a very peculiar race. Its realm is seemingly as old as time itself."
The young man explained slowly, "The history of the death spirits is as long as the history of humanity. Initially, everything was fine. But one day, the world of the dead overlapped with the world of the living. That allowed the dead to invade the world of the living. That was when we received the mission to seal all connections between the two worlds. These holy cities are the nodes connecting the two worlds.
"And the node of this city is the one with the highest degree of overlap. Under this city is an incomparably powerful kingdom of the dead. There will be no end of death sovereigns wishing to invade the world of the living through this city.
"Before becoming the mayor of this city, you should know that a day might come when I am no longer capable of withstanding the death qi beneath the city. At the time, you will be burdened with an unimaginable amount of death qi. Things have been relatively peaceful here. But that's because the death spirits are also waiting and accumulating strength. They wish to wait me out. It is only a matter of time before those powerful death spirits renew their attempt to invade the world of the living. This will not be an easy mission for you."
Su Yu waited for the young man to finish before speaking. He did not seem to care about the potential danger as he went straight to the point, "Lord, if I help you with the death qi, will you be willing to teach my enemies a lesson?"
As far as he was concerned, nothing mattered apart from what they could gain from this. If the young man was willing to help him, he would be more than happy to help the young man as well.
Great riches were always accompanied by great danger. He wasn't even surprised that there was a risk to this exchange. Nothing was free. Why should the Pseudo Emperor help him if he didn't need to risk anything? Were they close? The young man was not even a human. Was he supposed to help because Su Yu was handsome or something like that?
