Rise of Humanity

  Consort Tian Si smiled dumbly, “Your Royal Highness, His Majesty will be more than happy to see your achievements. With you blessed with His Majesty’s favor, your humble servant will also be happy for you.”

  Royal Prince Wen Dao laughed while Consort Tian Si continued, “I’ve had a close eye on Mu Qingxuan and we found Mister Yi a master of disguise. He can shapeshift himself into one of my Shan Shen Celestial Race’s clansmen and tried to escape underground. Thus, I am worried that he may just be able to escape from us…”

  Rays flashed across Royal Prince Wen Dao’s eyes, he said frigidly, “He won’t! General Shan, as a Shan Shen Celestial Race’s True Deity, do you think he can escape from you?”

  “Definitely not, Your Royal Highness.” Consort Tian Si smiled.

  “Then, stop him!” Royal Prince Wen Dao gave his order.

  …

  When Zhong Yue was traveling in the underground, he thought, If Consort Tian Si is truly part of the Luli Clan, then the Luli Clan must’ve been putting up a show searching for her just moments then so they could wash away the suspicions on them.

  He initially planned on returning to the Luli Clan and make use of their influence to protect themselves from the fury of the Zhongyang Clan.

  However, if Consort Tian Si was part of the Luli Clan, then returning to them would be akin to rushing back to death’s doorstep!

  All of a sudden, Zhong Yue remembered something and his heart turned cold,Consort Tian Si was proficient in the art of Karma. Providing clues to the Luli Clan and leading them to Yang Changsheng’s crash site to fool them into thinking that Mu Qingxuan and I killed him was totally within Consort Tian Si’s capabilities. The Luli Clan was also a chess piece in her game, moreover, she must’ve even predicted my reaction!

  Then again, even if Consort Tian Si was not part of the Luli Clan, the Luli Clan who found the little princess and Zhong Yue responsible for Yang Changsheng’s death would still not shelter Zhong Yue and the others from the Zhongyang Clan in fear of facing directly against the furious sovereign race.

  Consort Tian Si’s Karmic Web was getting into action. Forging an incident that would cause a series of chain reactions that would spread across the whole Zi Wei Galaxy; eventually pulling all of the ancient races and clans into chaos!

  Whereas Yang Changsheng, Zhong Yue, Mu Qingxuan, and the others were the exact chess pieces used to incite the universal chaos!

  This lady sure was an intelligent and ruthless one. Her target was me and Mu Qingxuan all along. Seeing me, she wanted to include m into her Karmic Web and make me a chess piece of her board. And when she found out she couldn’t, she killed Yang Changsheng and framed us for that while also provoking the hatred between Xian Tian Palace and the Zhongyang Clan!

  During his travel underground, such thoughts were flowing in his mind.

  Consort Tian Si killed Yang Changsheng and framed them for that. This would incite deep hatreds from the Zhongyang Clan toward the Xian Tian Palace. While when given such a good chance, Heavenly Monarch and his forces wouldn’t have let it slide and will surely join hands with the Zhongyang Clan to suppress the Xian Tian Palace!

  “Mister Yi, we can’t reach the Xian Tian Palace!” Bo Di and the others said.

  Zhong Yue’s heart immediately sank and before anything, the earth shuddered as sharp and powerful waves of energy rose up from beneath them!

  Above on the ground, Royal Prince Wen Chang’s warship hovered in the clouds. Royal Prince Wen Chang stood on the deck while Consort Tian Si opened her four arms beside him.

  There was an eye in each on her palms, shooting bright rays down to the ground and shining through the earth.

  Royal Prince Wen Chang looked down and gave a cold sneer, he raised a bow and shot the divine arrows down into the soil. The arrows moved in the underground like dragons and lunged at Zhong Yue!

  Whereas deep in the underground, Zhong Yue sensed the incoming arrows and flipped his hands, shooting out innate Qi and broke the divine arrows into halves!

  Royal Prince Wen Chang sneered again, he ordered, “Men, force him out from the dirts!”

  Immediately, the gods on the warship gave a stern yell each and leaped down to the ground.

  They dove into the soil and suddenly, the earth bulged out in the shapes of hands and fists before crumbling away shortly thereafter. Then, the earth surface cracked and blood gushed out from the cracks.

  The gods were strong and powerful, but tackling Zhong Yue underground was the wrong decision to make. In the air, on the land, or in the underground, the landscapes had little effect on Zhong Yue. He was able to freely unleash his power in the underground and kill the gods at ease.

  Royal Prince Wen Chang looked at the battle happening underground and sneered frigidly, “Bunch of useless garbage, can’t you all take down a mere human that you still need me to do it myself…”

  Just as he was going to fly out from the warship, Chi—— , the sharp tip of a divine sword pierced through his chest from the back and out to the front. It was so sudden he couldn’t even comprehend the sudden changes, let alone react to it!

  “Your Royal Highness…” Consort Tian Si moved forward and leaned her chest on his back, she whispered softly, “Senior Martial Brother Lu Wang wants me to greet you for him…”

  Chapter 811: Human Lady Talent and World In Chaos |

  “Lu Wang? You are a spy planted by the Luli Clan?” Royal Prince Wen Dao was shocked and furious. Not only did the divine sword impale his heart, but it also locked his Yuan Shen down from unleashing any of his power. The royal prince condemned solemnly, “Does the Luli Clan intend to provoke the war between the Heavenly Monarch, Zhongyang Clan, and Xian Tian Palace, so you rats can benefit from it?”

  Behind him, Consort Tian Si twisted the divine sword and crushed his heart, she continued in a hoarse voice, “Your Royal Highness, knowing too much sometimes doesn’t do you any good. Sounds like I’ll have no choice but to kill you now.”

  Royal Prince Wen Dao roared, he slammed his hand backward and Consort Tian Si slapped her hand back at it. Royal Prince Wen Dao’s hand was broken apart, leaving him furious and terrified.

  ‘General Shan’ was the strongest god he brought in this expedition, even stronger than himself. In addition to it being an ambush that caught him off guard, there was simply no chance for him to escape alive!

  Blood was trickling down Royal Prince Wen Dao’s mouth, his vision started to blur and his consciousness fell into eternal darkness. Then, it was at this moment that a narrow crack opened on his forehead as an irresistible force burst out from his psyche ocean!

  This was a skill left in him by Heavenly Monarch Di Ming, one that was only meant to save him in desperate times of life and death situation!

  “Your Royal Highness, do you think the Luli Clan has no imperial-level skill? How fortunate that your humble servant has a skill charm left behind by the Luli Clan’s Imperial Monarch back in the ancient days.” Consort Tian Si continues to speak as General Shan and laughed.

  She attached the skill charm on Royal Prince Wen Dao’s forehead and the latter’s face changed dramatically, he mumbled in terror, “Did the Luli Clan even gave you an imperial-level skill charm…”

  Another immeasurable wave of imperial aura billowed out from the skill charm and clashed with Heavenly Monarch Di Ming’s imperial aura. Immediately, the impact force from the clash had shuddered Royal Prince Wen Dao’s Yuan Shen and brain into a puddle of blood paste!

  Chi—

  Consort Tian Si pulled out the divine sword and wiped away the blood on Royal Prince Wen Dao’s clothes. She said calmly, “How will they possibly give me something so valuable? This skill charm comes from someone else, it was bestowed upon me by my master. But my dear victim, you’ll never know about it anymore.”

  Just when she was going to take down the skill charm from Royal Prince Wen Dao’s forehead, the earth cracked and Zhong Yue bolted out to the sky.

  He turned in midair and shot out an
innate Qi, killing the god that was chasing after him on the back.

  The death of the last god marked the end of the battle underground, all of Royal Prince Wen Dao’s guards were killed by Zhong Yue!

  Dong—

  Zhong Yue landed on the warship and the killing intent around him was intense, locking it down on Consort Tian Si!

  His aura and killing intent seeped into Consort Tian Si’s body, locking down on her Yuan Shen and mortal body, and silencing all of her skills.

  As a result, a stunned Consort Tian Si could be seen with her palm stopped on the skill charm unmovingly.

  Zhong Yue glared coldly at the Shan Shen God, he said in a solemn tone, “Consort Tian Si, what a nice stratagem.”

  Consort Tian Si had her back facing him while still in the form of General Shan. She chuckled in her original voice and said, “Mister Yi, you and I are both just as proficient in the art of Karma. However, in terms of actual implementations of the Karmic Web in the real world, you are much inferior than me. Don’t you think so?”

  Zhong Yue gave a cold sneer, “That said, Lu Wang is your next target?”

  Consort Tian Si chortled, “Why? All I want to kill is the little princess. With her dead, everything will be perfectly in place. If Mister Yi insists on protecting her, then that makes you my enemy, and I will not stop until she is dead!”

  Zhong Yue took a step forward and the innate Qi was shot out as a bell that tried to trapped her in it. Whereas Consort Tian Si’s body flickered and in that split second, extricated herself from the lockdown of his aura.

  She turned around and chuckled, “How useless, Mister Yi. Strong in the art of Karma you may be, but your prowess is much weaker than mine! I don’t want to confront you head on because I value you as a companion in this lone cultivation path of Karma. Only by killing you with the art of Karma will it make you wholeheartedly concede to your defeat…”

  She flew backward and her clothes fluttered. One of the ribbons on her clothes was shot forward and swept itself gently over the bell surface. Immediately, the bell dispersed back into innate Qi.

  Consort Tian Si chuckled and faded away into void, disappearing out of his reach.

  “Mister Yi, let me test you on your intelligence. This imperial-level skill charm is yours to claim now! Don’t thank me!”

  Zhong Yue raised his hand and kept the innate Qi, he walked to the side and looked afar with his brows locked tightly.

  Whereas in the six light wheels behind his head, Bo Di and the others held terrified expressions on their faces as they stared at the dead Royal Prince Wen Dao.

  First, it was Royal Prince Wen Chang, then now Royal Prince Wen Dao!

  The deaths of the Heavenly Monarch’s two beloved sons were more than sufficient to give rise a heavy turmoil across the universe!

  And right here, right now, they were standing in the middle of everything!

  The warship was crashing down to the ground, Zhong Yue raised his hand and just moments before he was going to take down the skill charm, he stopped and frowned.

  How cunning, she left behind a rather difficult situation for me . Zhong Yue sighed, he wanted to take down the skill charm a few times but he couldn’t make a decision.

  Taking down the imperial-level skill charm would allow him to destroy Consort Tian Si’s plan of provoking the battle between Luli Clan and Heavenly Monarch. But this would lead to Heavenly Monarch and his Diming Clan thinking that it was the Xian Tian Palace that killed Royal Prince Wen Dao.

  This would only give more reason for the Diming Clan to side with the Zhongyang Clan and seek revenge on Zhong Yue and the others. This would leave them with no room for survival. However, with the imperial skill charm with them, they might just be able to make use of it and find a way out alive!

  On the other hand, if he leaves the imperial skill charm as it was, the responsibility to Royal Prince Wen Dao’s death would be pushed to the Luli Clan. This would lead to the hatred between Diming Clan and Luli Clan, even leading the outbreak of a second war. Eventually, the Imperial Star’s situation would take a dive for the worst, while opening up a slim chance for them to escape!

  To take it down or not , Zhong Yue was struggling to make up his mind. Thus, a difficult situation left behind by Consort Tian Si.

  A lady that is able to force me into a corner is indeed rare . Zhong Yue gritted his teeth and pulled the imperial skill charm down from Royal Prince Wen Dao’s forehead. Then, he gave a stern yell, “We’ll leave now!”

  He flew up as the warship crashed into the mountains and its momentum pushed it a hundred miles away from the first point of impact.

  Zhong Yue’s body changed and he turned into a Bi Fang Celestial Race’s god, flying out from the Luli Clan’s territory at a moderate pace.

  This was not the time to be hurry as that would expose him to the Luli Clan. The Luli Clan had used its influence and locked the perimeter, conducting a thorough search for them. At times like these, a small hint of exposure would easily lead them to death!

  “Junior Martial Uncle Yi, we don’t have to run. We’ll just go and see the Luli Clan’s higher-ups!” Mu Qingxuan said, “During your conversation with Consort Tian Si, I’ve recorded it down with the divine mirror. As long as we hand it to the Luli Clan, we’ll be able to take ourselves out from this trouble!”

  Zhong Yue shook, “Yes, the divine mirror can help us clear the suspicions of the Luli Clan, but not ours. Consort Tian Si will not leave behind such a huge flaw in her plans.”

  In his Yuan Shen secret realms, Mu Qingxuan was stunned. Zhong Yue was right, giving out the divine mirror can help them clearing things off for the Luli Clan, but the crime of murdering Zhongyang Clan’s Yang Changsheng would still be on them!

  The Zhongyang Clan would still not let them off!

  She was a formidable foe, just exactly where did she come from? Zhong Yue thought, She must be serving someone great who likes to see the universe tumbling down into chaos.

  “Brat Yue, she is from the same race as you.” All of a sudden, Xin Huo said.

  “Same race?” Zhong Yue was stunned and exclaimed in shock a moment later, “She is also a Fuxi?”

  “She is a human.” Xin Huo replied casually, “She is a little human girl. But is able to manipulate four big clans and races, what an impressive little one.”

  “She is a human?” Zhong Yue quickly asked, “Xin Huo, why didn’t you tell me sooner?”

  Xin Huo was puzzled, “Why?”

  Zhong Yue’s face then turned gloomy. It didn’t even matter if Xin Huo had said it earlier. The identity that Zhong Yue was using now was that of an innate god reincarnated into the human race. Surely enough, Consort Tian Si wouldn’t view him as one of her kind.

  Furthermore, from her actions, it was clear she was serving a great force. It still remains a question if she actually views herself as a human, let alone taking him as part of her people.

  No matter what, I’ll live. If Consort Tian Si wants to kill me, then let’s have a fight!

  At the same time, Zhong Yue was also comforted. Although Consort Tian Si was his enemy and had forced him into a corner now, he still appreciated her talent.

  If the human race could have more talents like her, then maybe they would be much better off by now.

  …

  Meanwhile, the Luli Clan had received the news of Yang Changsheng murdered in its territory. Immediately, the gods were dispatched out into a full lockdown and sealed the perimeter; on the other hand, messengers were hurried to the Zhongyang Clan’s sacred land to deliver the news of this incident and take the Luli Clan out from the troubles.

  Furthermore, the gods that Royal Prince Wen Dao had sent out to deliver evidence of Zhong Yue killing Yang Changsheng would have also arrived at the Zhongyang Clan in no time!

  At the same time, Heavenly Monarch found out of Royal Prince Wen Dao’s death and the enraged Heavenly Monarch marched experts to the Luli Clan!

  Zhong Yue watched as the gods around sp
iked in numbers with huge warships flying across the sky like an endless meteor rain.

  The Luli Clan was indeed worthy as one of the monarch races. Their every action seemed to shake move the heavens and shake the earth!

  Zhong Yue was still moving at a steady pace, there were thousands of psyche flowing through his body, each was strong and powerful at the least of the Deity Emperor level. But when they found out he was just from the Bi Fang Celestial Race, they proceeded to ignore him almost immediately.

  As long as we leave the Luli Clan’s territory, we’ll be able to run free and wild, Rays flashed across Zhong Yue’s eyes and he thought.

  “Sister, why would Mister Yi and the Xian Tian Palace’s little princess conduct such reckless acts?” A huge warship flew over toward him, carrying thousands of gods on it while Lu Wang and Lu Binger could be seen standing on the deck.

  On the warship, there were gods that raised the divine mirrors high up, shining onto the ground to search for Zhong Yue and the others.

  Lu Wang thought and questioned, “The Xian Tian Palace and Heavenly Monarch are already at odds, they are just a step away from flipping the table of war against one another. That being said, why would Mister Yi and Mu Qingxuan murder Yang Changsheng and provoke the Zhongyang Clan? This doesn’t make sense.”

  Lu Binger nodded, “Regardless of what is the truth, Yang Changsheng died in our territory. The Luli Clan has the responsibility to detain the murderers. Otherwise, the Zhongyang Clan will shift their anger onto us. Hmm?”

  She suddenly looked at a patch of fire cloud which a Bi Fang celestial was traveling on. Lu Binger took over one of the divine mirrors and shone it to the Bi Fang celestial. To which, the latter stopped and bowed, he shouted, “What’s happening?”

  Lu BingEr looked at the mirror and found the Bi Fang celestial was in fact, an authentic Bi Fang celestial. She shook in reply, “Nothing. Senior martial brother, you may proceed.”
