"grandfather!"

Su Yu looked a little annoyed.

Yun Jie looked at him with a smile: "Did I say something wrong? You have a history of such behavior."

Su Yu was speechless. Well, he really couldn't keep a low profile. Besides, how could he grab resources and improve himself quickly if he wasn't high-profile?

Look at him now. He's only been in the Battlefield of the Heavens for half a month, and he's already improved from the 17th level to the 25th level. If he were in the Human Realm, how could he improve so quickly?

"Since you haven't figured out what to do next, let me, your grandpa, point you in the right direction."

Yun Jie began to reveal his true intentions.

Ultimately, he still intended for Su Yu to embark on the path of a half-dead being, only in the original story it was passive, while now Yun Jie hoped Su Yu would take the initiative.

Su Yu looked at Yun Jie with a strange expression: "Grandpa, you're not up to some bad idea again, are you?"

Yun Jie glared at him, annoyed: "How dare you talk like that! I said I was showing you the way, not a road of no return!"

"Alright, alright, then you go ahead and say it."

Su Yu was afraid that Yun Jie would lay a hand on him again, so he quickly backed down.

Yun Jie said seriously, "Before that, I have to ask you a question: have you already opened your Yang Aperture?"

Su Yu nodded. He had indeed opened his Yang Aperture, but how did his grandfather know?

"Don't look at me like that. I'm just guessing. Don't you always say that humans have a primordial spirit aperture, which is divided into yin and yang apertures? Plus, with your abnormal power burst, I guess you must have opened the yang aperture."

Yun Jie felt exhausted. Su Yu was too suspicious. He would doubt everything he said, so he had to explain.

After Yun Jie's explanation, Su Yu thought about it and realized there wasn't much of a problem, so he nodded.

"Now that your yang orifice has been opened, what I'm about to say will be much easier."

Yun Jie turned his head and asked, "You already know about the ancient city, right?"

Su Yu nodded, puzzled.

"However, I believe you only have a superficial understanding of the ancient city. Let me explain it to you in detail."

"There are 36 ancient cities in total, all of which have been preserved from ancient times. Each ancient city has a stone sculpture, but they are actually living people. They, along with the ancient city beneath their feet, are there to guard the passage of the dead. Therefore, they are also known as the guardians of the ancient cities."

Yun Jie explained the information about the Thirty-Six Ancient Cities to Su Yu bit by bit. After Yun Jie's explanation, Su Yu had a general understanding of them.

At the same time, Su Yu was also surprised, realizing that the stone sculpture he had hammered was actually a living person, and an ancient artifact that had existed for 100,000 years.

By the way, will he hold a grudge?

I don't think so. I didn't hurt him at all.

However, Su Yu was still puzzled. What was the connection between Yun Jie's "Mingdao" and these ancient cities?

Yun Jie got down to business: "After 100,000 years of death energy erosion, some of the guards are about to give out. At this time, they urgently need someone to help them share the burden."

Now Su Yu understood somewhat: "You intend for me to help them? But what makes me... capable of helping them through my yang aperture?"

Su Yu immediately thought of Yun Jie asking him about the yang orifice.

"That's right. The Yang Aperture allows you to absorb a lot of death energy, which helps them relieve stress. In this way, no matter what trouble you cause, they will do their best to protect your safety."

"You need to know that there are thirty-five high-level Eternal Realm experts and one Dao Integration Realm expert. With their support, you can walk sideways in the battlefield of the heavens, unlike your grandfather, who is hampered by other invincible human races and cannot fully help you."

"If you do as I say, you will become the first ruler of the thirty-six ancient cities in history, and from then on, you can roam freely across the battlefields of the heavens."

At this moment, Yun Jie transforms into a master conman.

Su Yu hesitated and asked, "Is this feasible? What should I do?"

"Don't worry, your grandpa has done all the research. You just need to become a half-dead, and then you'll naturally understand what to do."

Looking at Yun Jie, Su Yu felt that he was unreliable. Perhaps it was because Yun Jie had played pranks on him every year on his birthday, leaving him with a lingering trauma.

Yun Jie continued, "But you don't need to rush to become a half-dead. You can continue to roam the battlefield of the heavens. When you encounter a chase, you can hide in the ancient city. If I can't save you then, it won't be too late for you to transform into a half-dead."

Su Yu: "..."

Grandpa must have thought he couldn't protect me, so he came up with this idea for me, right?

"Alright, that's about it," Yun Jie said, having said what he needed to say. He figured it was time for Su Yu to do whatever he wanted; even if things got worse, it wouldn't be much different from the original story.

Yun Jie glanced at Su Yu: "What else do you want to say or ask, kid?"

suddenly.

Yun Jie suddenly remembered something: "Hey kid, when are you planning to marry Wu Lan? Have you completely forgotten what I told you? It's been a year already!"

"Or are you planning to follow in the footsteps of your good-for-nothing uncle, who's still a bachelor at over two hundred years old?"

Immediately afterwards, Yun Jie pulled Su Yu over: "Come, come, tell me about you and Wu Lan, and also talk about other things. It's been a long time since we, grandfather and grandson, have chatted. Let's have a good talk today."

Su Yu was stunned by Yun Jie's "combination punches". He had just seen Yun Jie and was about to leave when he suddenly pulled this stunt.

Su Yu felt reluctant, but she held back. Chatting was fine; it would be good to relax.

Immediately afterwards, Yun Jie and Su Yu started chatting.

However, it was mostly Yun Jie asking the questions, and Su Yu answering them.

Gradually, Su Yu felt sleepy, his eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and he felt like he might fall asleep at any moment.

Yun Jie patted his head and said softly, "Go to sleep if you're sleepy. Grandpa will stay here and watch over you."

Because of Yun Jie's words, Su Yu could no longer hold back and fell asleep immediately, sleeping very soundly.

Looking at Su Yu's sleeping face, Yun Jie felt a pang of heartache. "Sleep well, child. You won't have the time or the chance to sleep for the next few years..."

Then Yun Jie looked into the distance, lost in thought, but his right hand remained on Su Yu's head.

Deep within Su Yu's sea of ​​will, the Book of Time trembled slightly, as if struggling, but it was held firmly down by an unseen hand, unable to move.

Finally, it simply gave up.

Two days and two nights passed in the blink of an eye.

Su Yu opened his tightly closed eyes again, his gaze shifting from initial confusion to clarity.

Then he stretched and yawned, feeling that this was the most restful sleep he had had in over a decade.

It smells wonderful and makes me feel at ease!

Strangely enough, the golden album stopped causing trouble and became very quiet.

strange!

At this moment, Yun Jie turned his head and smiled, "Awake?"

"Grandpa, how long have I been asleep?"

Su Yu quickly got up, dusted himself off, and wore a white robe, looking very much like Yun Jie.

"It's not long, only two days. I saw you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't wake you up."

Two days?

Su Yu murmured, feeling relaxed all over, with much of the pent-up frustration, resentment, and madness he had been suppressing disappearing.

For more than a decade, he has had different nightmares every day, but the ending of each nightmare is the same. Each nightmare represents a death, so he feels very depressed, frustrated, and crazy!

That feeling is something that others simply cannot understand.

He couldn't help but exclaim how wonderful it felt to be able to sleep soundly!

······

Seeing the relaxed and satisfied smile on Su Yu's face, he smiled like a child at that moment.

Then, Yun Jie couldn't help but laugh.

At this moment, it was as if Su Yu had returned to his childhood. Since Su Yu merged with the Book of Time, he had never had such a relaxed smile.

More importantly, Yun Jie was able to sense the changes in Su Yu's inner emotions. After this sleep, many of Su Yu's negative emotions were relieved and released.

The murderous aura emanating from Su Yu dissipated considerably, and the madness within him also lessened considerably.

But years of dream experiences have left him still driven mad when facing his enemies…

However, he will never become the crazy Su from the original story again, and he will no longer need to bear it all alone, because Yun Jie will, without his knowledge, provide him with shelter and protect the last soft spot in his heart.

Su Yu calling him grandpa was the cause, and his protecting Su Yu was the effect; in the grand scheme of things, cause and effect were already predetermined.

All of this was Yun Jie's own choice. If he hadn't adopted Su Long back then, he wouldn't have become Su Yu's grandfather.

If he and Su Yu didn't have this relationship, perhaps he would have chosen to remain indifferent, just like Zhou Tianqi.

In the end, this young man, who originally only wanted to become a researcher, gradually transformed into a madman named Su who struck fear into the hearts of all beings.

Even Wan Tiansheng, who had a good relationship with Su Yu in the end, initially chose to stand by and watch Su Yu fight step by step. He was also one of the forces that pushed Su Yu into madness.

In a way, Wan Tiansheng is a "madman-making machine," and Lan Tian's "madness" is partly due to him.

Closer to home.

Yun Jie patted the stone next to him, gesturing for Su Yu to sit down. He asked with a smile, "Haven't slept this comfortably in a long time, have you?"

As Su Yu's grandfather, Yun Jie knew about Su Yu's habit of having nightmares since childhood, so Su Yu didn't find it strange.

After Su Yu sat down, a satisfied smile spread across his face: "Yes, it's been thirteen years, hasn't it? Ever since that high fever when I was six, I haven't had such a peaceful and comfortable sleep. It's really strange."

Su Yu turned to look at Yun Jie: "Grandpa, where were you when I had a high fever when I was six years old?"
