Chapter 296: I Want a Situation of Certain Death (Part 1)

Wang Qiu Er continued to press, "Then do you also know my final itinerary clearly, which is why you interrupted my self-detonation at the last moment?"

In all fairness, apart from Su Yu, who shared the same Fate Power and the fortune of the Star Dou Great Forest with her, Wang Qiu Er really couldn't guess a second person who could interrupt her self-detonation under those circumstances without being backlashed.

"Yes." Su Yu's answer was very simple.

"What is your relationship with Luo Yu, and why did I feel a faint trace of Fate Power on him as well?" Wang Qiu Er had only crossed paths with Luo Yu a handful of times, but every time they fought, she had an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

She had always been unable to figure out why she had such a strange feeling; it was an indescribable sensation, as if she had known him in some mysterious way. This question had always troubled Wang Qiu Er, and no matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't find an answer.

After she had pondered it for a long time, a flash of inspiration struck her mind, and she thought of someone else...

Perhaps, he knew the answer!

"That shall remain a secret for now; I'll tell you after we've seen Di Tian. However, I can tell you one thing: your connection with Luo Yu runs deep." Su Yu smiled mysteriously, and looking at Wang Qiu Er's puzzled expression, he suppressed the urge to laugh that was surging in his heart.

After all, if he told Wang Qiu Er that Luo Yu was his own clone, those beatings Wang Qiu Er took would have been for nothing...

"Fine, then the next question." Wang Qiu Er looked at Su Yu's unchanging face, a hint of suspicion flashing through her heart.

Su Yu was a bit confused; he couldn't understand how many questions Wang Qiu Er had to ask, so he asked, "Exactly how many questions do you have to ask?"

"Many, but this is the last one. The rest can wait until you've seen Di Tian and come back. You must answer this question truthfully." Wang Qiu Er's tone was firm, and by the looks of it, she wasn't giving any room for negotiation.

"Number One Experimental Subject, did you take it?"

The whereabouts of the Number One Experimental Subject from Mingde Hall remained unknown to this day; apart from Xuan Ziwen and Su Yu himself, no one knew the exact location of Number One.

"Yes. I'll tell you the specifics later; can you take me to see Di Tian now?" Su Yu's gaze tightened slightly. Since Wang Qiu Er could guess this much, it was clear he had been thoroughly exposed, though she lacked concrete evidence.

The Star Dou Great Forest, Secret Realm.

This was a space belonging solely to Di Tian. There was no magnificent scenery here, only a forest full of vitality and some low-age Soul Beasts.

Wang Qiu Er did not enter. After bringing Su Yu here, she waited outside the secret realm.

"Su Yu, I have been waiting for you for a long time." Di Tian looked at Su Yu, his golden eyes radiating a faint pressure.

"Senior Di Tian, that is exactly why I came." Su Yu did not answer explicitly, but this trip was something he had to make.

"You want to find a way out from me? To escape your current predicament, right?" Di Tian looked at Su Yu and asked unhurriedly.

Su Yu replied, "Yes, but I want to use my own method to escape the predicament, and I may need your help when the time comes."

"What kind of help? To step in and save you, or to provide you with protection?" Di Tian was curious; he wanted to know what kind of plan a Soul Emperor like Su Yu could have to break the situation.

Su Yu said, "The Three Great Empires have already planned to put out a full warrant for my arrest. Staying in the Sun Moon Empire is no longer a suitable choice. What I need to do now is to die once in a situation that is certain death."

"Die? You must know that you carry half of the fortune of the Star Dou Great Forest, and your Soul Spirit research is not yet complete. If you die, wouldn't you be breaking the original agreement?" Di Tian looked at Su Yu, his aura fluctuating slightly.

Su Yu looked at Di Tian and continued, "I mean, faking my death."

"How do you want me to help you?" Di Tian asked.

"I have absorbed a large amount of Life Gold, and you know how rich the Life Force in my body is. Even if my physical body is destroyed, as long as one head remains, I can slowly regenerate. Therefore, when my life aura dissipates, I hope Senior Di Tian will step in to preserve my body, or snatch away my head."

Only in this way could Su Yu fake his death and escape. The pretext for Di Tian's intervention would also be simple: Su Yu's body was tainted with the aura of the Emperor Beast, and his body could not be taken by humans. This would not count as breaking the agreement between Di Tian and the human Title Douluo.

"So this is your method to break the situation?" Di Tian frowned slightly. He had thought of many ways, but he had never imagined that Su Yu would adopt such a near-suicidal approach.

"Many things have exceeded my expectations. If I don't do this, the consequences might be even worse. If it weren't for me stepping in this time, Wang Qiu Er would have died. Once the Emperor Beast dies, you would inevitably investigate the cause of Wang Qiu Er's death. Back then, you were able to launch a Beast Tide because the Body Sect hunted a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast. If I hadn't stepped in this time and it led to the death of the Emperor Beast, I suspect you would launch a Beast Tide again."

In the original story, Wang Qiu Er's sacrifice led Di Tian to launch a Beast Tide, resulting in the large-scale death of Soul Beasts. If Wang Qiu Er were to die in battle this time, Su Yu, as the person bearing the complete fortune of the entire Star Dou Great Forest, would likely never be able to escape for the rest of his life.

"Your guess is correct." Di Tian did not refute.

Su Yu continued, "There is only one Titan Snow Demon King left in the Extreme North. If another major incident occurs in the Star Dou Great Forest, I don't think that is a situation you, as the Soul Beast Co-Lord, would want to see. I will fulfill what I promised you, but please, Senior, trust my judgment. I have already prepared for failure by coming back this time, so I implore you to trust me once."

"If my plan fails, I will trigger the Reverse Scale you gave me in advance. At that time, I hope you will step in to save me. In return, I will stay in the Star Dou Great Forest forever until I research a complete method to replace Soul Rings!"

Stay in the Star Dou Great Forest forever, until a complete method to replace Soul Rings is researched!

This was the stake Su Yu offered, and also the retreat he left for himself!

However, Su Yu hoped he would never have to use this path...

Di Tian looked at the resolute Su Yu and did not refuse: "You are different from those humans. I believe you can do what you say. In that case, go. If you want to stay in the Star Dou Great Forest, we will always welcome you."

…………

"You were gone for so long; what did you talk to Di Tian about?" Wang Qiu Er was very curious about the purpose of Su Yu's return and began to press him as soon as he came out.

Su Yu did not hide it and laid out his plan completely. After hearing it, Wang Qiu Er was shocked; this plan was simply too crazy.

Using his own life as a stake to trade for a way out!

Crazy! Too crazy!

"As you can see, I can't think of any other way out of the current situation. Unless..." Su Yu looked at the shocked Wang Qiu Er and shook his head helplessly.

"Unless what?" Wang Qiu Er looked puzzled, not knowing what other ideas Su Yu had.

Su Yu said, "Think about it. I promised Di Tian that if I fail, I will stay in the Star Dou Great Forest forever until I research a complete method to replace Soul Rings. Since that's the case, why wouldn't I just hide in the Star Dou Great Forest and not go out?"

"That's true. It's impossible for any human to appear here. Even a Title Douluo, Super Douluo, or Peak Douluo couldn't arrive here alive, except for you." Wang Qiu Er also realized that the Star Dou Great Forest was an excellent place of refuge at the moment.

Su Yu smiled bitterly: "This is a retreat I left for myself, but it's not the best choice. There are things I must accomplish, and there are people who need me waiting for me. Wang Qiu Er, can you understand?"

Wang Qiu Er nodded as if she understood, and then stopped dwelling on this question.

"Alright, since you have your own plans, I won't try to persuade you. However, now you should answer my question." Wang Qiu Er was eager to know many things, "Who exactly is Luo Yu?"

Luo Yu!

A person whose identity was a mystery. Even Luo Jing, who was also a transmigrator, didn't know the figure Luo Yu. To the Three Great Empires, he was also an existence that left people completely baffled.

Assisting Xu Tianran in taking power, leading the Sun Moon Empire to win the championship, breaking the Three Great Empires with schemes, capturing countless elites of the Three Great Empires, leading the Sun Moon Empire to pursue the current Sea God Pavilion Master Xuan Lao, and surviving three strikes from a Peak Douluo head-on without dying...

Any one of these things, if singled out, would be shocking, yet everything seemed to be a matter of course when it came to him!

Even Wang Qiu Er, a heaven-favored daughter and the Emperor Beast who had cultivated into human form, had been defeated by Luo Yu. How could his identity not make Wang Qiu Er curious?

"He is my clone."

A clone?!

"What! You said he is your clone!!!" Wang Qiu Er's beautiful eyes widened, and she couldn't believe that these words came from Su Yu's mouth at all!

He is a clone!

It was your clone all along!

At this point, everything in Wang Qiu Er's eyes seemed to no longer be a mystery.

Because everything made sense now; Su Yu was a genius of the Soul Guidance Department, and so was Luo Yu.

If a person who appeared out of thin air truly existed, nine times out of ten they were being supported by someone else.

"No wonder I always felt that, in the dark, there was a faint, lingering connection with Luo Yu. I always thought he would be my destined rival in this life, but I never expected that this connection actually came from you," Wang Qiu Er said with some regret. "I should have realized it sooner. As the Emperor Beast of Good Omen, how could I possibly have that kind of mysterious connection with a human I had never met before?"

"You can't be blamed for not realizing it, because the appearance of this clone happened after I was pressed against your eyes by Xuan Lao. Therefore, not much information remained in my memory. Although you did inherit my memories, you didn't inherit all of them."

At this, Wang Qiu Er suddenly realized the truth. Very well, I, Wang Qiu Er, am still the strongest, aside from you, Su Yu!
