Mirror World, Bootleg Heavenly Dao
Su Qian was so astonished that he was speechless. Resurrection!
Yao Lao patted Su Qian on the shoulder and said, "Su Qian, stop standing there in a daze. Hurry back and take charge of the situation."
"Mm? Oh, Senior Su, did you just say resurrection? Can you bring the dead back to life?" Su Qian asked, unable to believe it.
Su Yu nodded slightly. "Just lending a hand. No need to thank me."
Su Qian swallowed and said earnestly, "Senior, I can never repay such a tremendous favor. If you ever have need of me, just say the word! I’ll climb mountains of blades and plunge into seas of fire without batting an eye!"
Su Yu smiled. "All right, all right. If you don’t head back soon, Jia Nan Academy will fall into chaos."
Su Qian nodded, gave Su Yu a grateful look, then turned and left.
Since Xiao Yan had already been dealt with, there was nothing left for Su Yu to do. He resumed teaching Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin the guqin.
Time passed quickly. A few months later, Zhuo Kun took Zi Yan out on a trip. He still wanted some time alone with his daughter, so he spent a long time persuading Zi Yan before she agreed to go traveling with him.
Mao Jiu was also taking Su Yiyi and Gu Xun’er out for some fun. Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin really wanted to come along, so Mao Jiu took them with her as well. That left only Su Yu and the young couple, Yao Lao and Xuan Yi. Seeing Yao Lao and Xuan Yi being lovey-dovey every day, Su Yu immediately got up and left.
Su Yu cursed inwardly. Even if I have to roam the ends of the earth and make the whole world my home, I refuse to stay here as a third wheel.
After leaving Jia Nan Academy, Su Yu had no idea where to go. After some thought, he decided to visit the Southeast Region. When he read the original novel, he had only seen the Northwest Region and Central Plains. He had never seen the Southeast Region and had no idea what it was like.
No sooner said than done. Su Yu stood atop the Taigu Yiyin Qin and flew toward the Southeast Region of the Dou Qi Continent. After flying for who knew how long, he arrived at the border of the Northwest Region and saw an abyss.
Su Yu flew toward the ground beneath the abyss. The moment he reached its upper reaches, he felt a powerful suction force. He released a wisp of Dominion Power to block it, and the suction immediately vanished.
Su Yu arrived on the other side and looked back at the abyss. "No wonder I’ve never seen anyone from the Southeast Region or heard anything about it. This abyss was blocking the way."
Su Yu estimated that not even a Dou Di could cross this abyss. He had no idea why such a thing existed on the Dou Qi Continent.
Su Yu shook his head and headed toward the Southeast Region. Before long, he spotted a city. But the instant he saw it, he froze. He recalled the last city he had seen in the Southwest Region, then looked at the city before him and suddenly realized that they were exactly the same!
This gave Su Yu quite a fright. Had he run into some supernatural phenomenon? He immediately rode the qin through the air at full speed. As he looked at one familiar city after another below him, he could hardly believe it. Before long, he reached Wutan City and fell completely silent.
However, Su Yu soon noticed something was wrong. He went to the Xiao Family, but did not see Xiao Zhan. After asking around, he learned that Xiao Zhan had long ago been taken away by a mysterious person. Su Yu immediately understood that the plot here was still following the original story, but what exactly was going on?
Su Yu thought of Ya Er and immediately asked her. Ya Er explained, "Master, this is a Mirror World. Among the Myriad Realms, a very small number of worlds have Mirror Worlds. Mirror Worlds know of the real world’s existence, but the real world does not know of theirs. A Mirror World copies everything in the real world, then develops according to everything in the real world. Once the Child of Destiny of the Mirror World becomes its strongest being, that is when the Mirror World launches war against the real world."
"If the Mirror World wins, it will completely replace the real world of this world. If the Mirror World loses, it will find another world and copy that world instead. Mirror Worlds have always been a scourge within the Myriad Realms. As the Myriad Realms Dominator, Master, you are specifically meant to punish such scourges."
Su Yu asked in confusion, "Didn’t you say Mirror Worlds develop the same way as the real world? Why is this place following the original plot?"
Ya Er explained, "That is because the Mirror World cannot copy Master or the Lord of Time and Space, so it can only proceed according to the original plot."
"Then this Mirror World should know I’m here. Didn’t you say I’m meant to punish them? Why hasn’t this Mirror World run away?" Su Yu asked doubtfully.
Ya Er looked troubled. Seeing this, Su Yu said, "Just say whatever you want to say."
Ya Er nodded. "All right, Master. Let me ask you one question: do you know how to destroy a Mirror World?"
Su Yu shook his head. "How would I know?"
Ya Er waved her hand and said, "This Mirror World has a Heavenly Dao. That Heavenly Dao knows Master does not know how to destroy it, which is why it has remained here without the slightest worry."
"My temper… Tell me how to destroy a Mirror World. I’ll beat its ass until it blooms!" Su Yu was furious inside. A Bootleg Heavenly Dao had actually looked down on him!
Ya Er said helplessly, "Master, only the previous Myriad Realms Dominator knew how to destroy a Mirror World, and only the Myriad Realms Dominator can destroy one. After the Lord died, no one in this world could destroy Mirror Worlds anymore."
"I see… But didn’t the previous Myriad Realms Dominator discover the method himself? If he could do it, so can I. I’m staying here. I refuse to believe I can’t find a way to destroy this Mirror World!"
As he spoke, a trace of fighting spirit appeared in Su Yu’s eyes.
Ya Er really wanted to say that the previous Myriad Realms Dominator, like all other Dominators, had received inherited memories the moment he became a Dominator. He had not needed to figure things out by himself like Su Yu did.
But Ya Er did not say it. Su Yu had practically been a salted fish all these years. Now that he had finally developed the drive to be the Myriad Realms Dominator, how could she possibly dampen that spirit?
She even wished Su Yu’s fighting spirit would grow stronger still.
Su Yu left Wutan City and arrived at Jia Nan Academy. The most important place on the Dou Qi Continent was the Tou She Ancient God’s cave abode. Su Yu had come here to see whether there was any way to deal with the Mirror World.
There were too many people in the Burning Sky Refining Tower for Su Yu to walk in openly. He teleported underground and headed toward the cave abode.
Very soon, he saw Bootleg Zhuo Kun coiled before the entrance of the cave abode. Sensing someone’s presence, Bootleg Zhuo Kun immediately woke up and fixed his gaze on Su Yu.
I’ve finally finished all five chapters. Please support with votes and subscriptions.
Since I usually write the next day’s chapters on the first day, I had always been able to release them on time. But after it went premium, I used up tomorrow’s chapters, so tomorrow’s update will probably be in the evening. Please forgive me.
