Chapter 1645: Holy Land Establishment (3)
Su Yu laughed and said, "Stop embarrassing yourself with a small trick like this. I'm only making this offer because I can't be bothered to threaten you. Your identity as the second coming of the Five Elemental Ancestor alone is enough to end the five elemental race."
Topsoil Spirit grinned and said, "You never know. Also, are you certain that the immortals were the culprit, Brother Su?"
Su Yu replied with a question, "What do you think?"
"I think...there is no clear answer." Topsoil Spirit said, "The five elemental race used to be a major race. The Five Elemental Ancestor was no weakling. I initially suspected the ancient humans. Don't the humans cultivate the five elements as well?"
Su Yu sneered and said, "How could it be the humans? The ancient humans ruled the Myriad Realms, but they were also faced with many limitations. The ancient assembly was formed by the myriad races precisely for the purpose of limiting the power of humanity. The ancient humans ruled the Myriad Realms in name, but in truth, their rule was contested.
"How would the myriad races react if the ancient humans were the ones to kill the Five Elemental Ancestor? The matter only remained a secret until now because it was essentially an internal struggle between the myriad races in the assembly. Otherwise, a war against humanity would have erupted the moment the Five Elemental Ancestor died. Have you read the ancient records? Were there any chaos after the Five Elemental Ancestor's death?
"No, right? Because the ancient humans had merely watched at the sidelines as the assembly members schemed against each other. They saw no point in making a big deal out of it to keep the peace. After all, it would still result in chaos even if it didn't grow into a war against humanity. Many would learn the truth from the resulting chaos. But the matter had remained secret until now."
Topsoil Spirit thought about it and nodded.
Su Yu's argument was reasonable.
Then again, Su Yu had always been good at arguing.
Topsoil Spirit said, "If you can become the leader of the holy land, I will consult my elders...about our secret cooperation. Remember, this will only be a secret cooperation. We won't take action in any operation where silencing all the potential witnesses is not possible. I hope you can see where I'm coming from."
Su Yu said, "Sure. That is agreeable."
