Rise of Humanity

by <unknown>

  From afar, Zhong Yue heard Si Ming’s voice sounding in a way as if everything was natural, “If there is a day where I am free or I’ve lost, I will come looking for him. But for now, I am busy!”

  Xin Huo immediately looked at Zhong Yue excitingly and the little flame shouted happily.

  Zhong Yue was left speechless and he murmured, “You did not ask for my opinions….”

  “Your opinions are nothing but farts! This is for the sake of the race!”

  Xin Huo shouted fiercely at Zhong Yue, “You little brat, you have been slacking and I am very disappointed by this! The chances to give birth to a pureblood Fuxi is with this lady Fuxi! If you slack anymore, I will borrow a dozen monarch level weapons to suppress you and immobilize you!”

  Zhong Yue smiled awkwardly and suddenly, a moment of realization struck him and he shouted, “A dozen of monarch level weapons?”

  Xin Huo replied arrogantly, “See how that fatso is so respectful of me? I am sure I could borrow a dozen from him.”

  Right away, Zhong Yue discarded this idea as he recalled how Shao Hao Bell treated the little flame and he made up his mind to cultivate himself step by step and stop relying on this little flame.

  “The Heavenly Wardens and the massive powers nearby are closing in fast, let’s go!” urged Xin Huo.

  Chapter 873: Brave Entering The Star Torrent Fortress |

  Zhong Yue blinked again, a loud drumbeat shattered the dimension before 14 Heavenly Wardens descended ferociously, all of them looking at the drum’s remains.

  Beside them was another huge drum, one that was even stronger!

  “The Fuxi is still on the run!”

  The scales on the armour of a Heavenly Warden slithered, crawled and clashed together. After a series of metal clanking, the warden said, “She is very impressive indeed, no wonder she managed to become the Heavenly Court’s Shumishi 1. But then again, the Heaven Court is really trash, they did not even notice her and even made her the Shumishi!”

  “This lady used her clones to distract us, killing four of her comrades. But now, she has no more chances to distract us.”

  Just as the 14 Heavenly Wardens were about to look around for traces, the dimension shook as massive warships sailed out from a rift that was opened in the void. Endless gods were standing on these warships.

  “Treacherous fools! How dare you intrude on our Jitong Clan’s territory, not to mention killing our people and destroying their planets!”

  An old Imperial Emperor shouted, “And you’re thinking of running now?”

  The wardens frowned and one warden took out a token and shouted, “We are the Heavenly Wardens and we are here to capture the Fuxi under Heaven’s order! How dare you stop us and humiliate Heaven!”

  “Heavenly Warden?”

  The old Imperial Emperor put on a smile and said frigidly, “Who cares about you Heavenly Wardens, do you know that you are in the ancient universe now? Since you have the guts to kill our people, you will have to face the consequences! Bring out the ancestor weapon!”

  “How dare you!”

  “Does the Jitong Clan intend to rebel? We are here under Heaven’s orders, and we Heavenly Wardens are in charge of maintaining order and making sure that everyone falls in line….”

  “This rule of yours does not apply in the ancient universe!”

  A loud explosion sounded out, the galaxy split apart and a terrifying might descended; a massive golden halo flew out. It was a chakra shaped monarch weapon adorned with a myriad of totem. As it spun quickly, one could make out a massive dimension imagination inside of it.

  “The Jitong Clan is going to betray Heaven?”

  The 14 Heavenly Wardens were shocked and angered.

  They immediately activated and slammed onto the drum while the old Imperial Emperor from Jitong Clan charged at them with the countless Jitong Clan’s magnates.

  But this war had nothing to do with Zhong Yue anymore as he was already far away, though he could still feel the tremendous and destructive power that flinched his heart greatly coming from the back.

  Even if Jitong Clan killed the 14 Heavenly Wardens, they would still find out Si Ming is also one of the culprits and they will definitely hunt her down. They will be searching for her everywhere and she would not be able to stay in the ancient universe anymore.

  Zhong Yue thought.

  What Si Ming provoked the monarch races too much. With the insane capabilities of Jitong Clan, the 14 Heavenly Wardens are dead for sure, but Si Ming’s acts will surely be exposed at the same time.

  But then again, if she could live her life freely in the Zi Wei Galaxy, the ancient universe’s Jitong Clan wouldn’t be able to deal with her as well.

  Zhong Yue got in touch with Fu Li and was relieved to find out that Mu Suge was still in their hands. He immediately asked Fu Li for the Star Torrent Fortress’ location and rushed towards it.

  Two months later, he arrived at the sacred ground where the humans resided.

  Fuxi’s survivors, here I come.

  Zhong Yue was extremely excited but did not forget his manners; he tidied himself and stood up straight before walking towards the fortress.

  “Halt!”

  Outside of the fortress, a wild human sentry guarding the fortress shouted, “Identity yourself!”

  As his voice rumbled across the skies, everyone that was living within the few hundred planets of the Star Torrent Fortress immediately heard his voice; Zhong Yue generated power into his throat and shouted, “I am Left King Yi Feng, a servant under Zi Wei Galaxy’s Xian Tian Palace’s Imperial Emperor Xian Tian. I am here to pay a visit to the human leaders from the ancient galaxy, would you please inform them of my visit?”

  His voice contained the essence of the Dao inside it as it reached every corner of the Star Torrent Fortress.

  Meanwhile, Mu Suge, who was imprisoned in the deepest part of Star Torrent Fortress, was relieved, “Mister is here! He is finally here to save me! But can he do it? These wild humans are very brutal!”

  “Xian Tian Palace’s Left King, Yi Feng? Wait for a moment!”

  The giant turned around and shouted towards the fortress, “There’s a Yi Feng here to see our leader, are we supposed to kill him or welcome him in?”

  The next second later, an even louder voice shouted back, “They said he’s a human like us but if he crosses the line, kill him! Let this fool in for now. If he does anything funny, kill him!”

  “Ok, let’s go! Move!”

  Zhong Yue nodded and walked right into the fortress.

  At the same time, a few human magnates dragged Mu Suge out of the prison, tossing him to the ground. They said, “The leaders said that this Yi guy is here to ransom this brat Third Prince Mu here. If the ransom is too little, we will sell this brat in pieces. First, we will sell a bit of him to the celestial races, then the demon races. They will surely pay a generous amount for his pieces.”

  “I’m drooling already!”

  Another one said, “But that kid Fu Li is just a prawn head. In my opinion, we should just capture this Mister Yi and sell him off along with the prince. Buy one, get one free. How about that? Buy the prince’s leg and be gifted with Mister Yi’s arm, our business will blossom for sure!”

  Mu Suge’s face turned pale and he was dragged all the way to the Star Torrent Fortress’s human saint palace.

  This human saint palace was also very unique compared to the other saint palaces out there; it was entirely built from pale bones. These bones were the bones of the many celestial and demon races that the humans have killed. There were even Imperial Emperor level bones. Their bones that were used to build this palace was a display of their power.

  Apart from that, Mu Suge also knew that these wild humans held no principles in themselves; just like the monster races, they were extremely ruthless, wild and fierce. They worked for anyone who paid them generously.

  Sometimes, they might even go back on their words and kill their employers.

  O
n this continent surrounded by stars was another saint palace, one that was left behind by the ancient humans when they were still Fuxi. But Mu Suge had never been in there before.

  Before the White Bones Saint Palace, massive skeletons were everywhere and they were used to build roads. At the side of the road was a massive firepit and on top of the firepit was a huge pot filled with boiling oil. Beside the firepit were mountains made of sabers and fire oceans. Meanwhile, ferocious wild humans stood at the side, each holding a massive weapon. With their weapons in their hands, these wild humans stood along the roads, grinning as they looked around.

  Mu Suge was then pressed onto the ground before the White Bones Saint Palace and he looked around at the hellish scene; the wild humans were just like evil spirits from Hell.

  Behind him were many ancient wild human elders sitting on white bone thrones. The handles of these thrones were all massive skulls, presumably Imperial Emperor level skulls as they still emitted a vague Imperial Emperors’ might.

  Fu Li sat right in front the palace with a nine ringed golden blade placed at the left and a bone club at the right, looking extremely ferocious and his hands were grabbing onto the chains chained onto Mu Suge’s neck.

  The wild humans were all on their guard and when Mu Suge looked around, he saw a young god traveling towards him while ignoring the angry stares from the wild humans.

  Mister Yi is indeed Mister Yi, such a calm and steady temperament is something that not everyone can cultivate, thought Mu Suge.

  Meanwhile, Zhong Yue ignored these horrifying scenes and he walked towards his target calmly. As he closed in step by step, a saber suddenly flashed towards him and with less than an inch gap, it hacked right into the skeleton path.

  Seeing this, Mu Suge’s heart pounded quickly, only to see Zhong Yue stop walking and look at the wild human that swung the saber.

  This wild human was muscular with bulky totem patterns that intertwined around him, further amplifying his raw body strength.

  “Not bad, kid!”

  The wild human praised with a rumbling voice, “I am Fu Shan. I respect everyone with courage! You are weak and thin, I assume that you have little to eat but now, I am offering you a meal, are you brave enough to eat a god?”

  “Why not?” replied Zhong Yue without even flinching.

  Fu Shan smiled ferociously and suddenly, he grabbed towards a god slave, severed his leg off and asked intimidatingly, “Do you like it raw or cooked?”

  “Medium raw would be great, it’d be even better if there was still some blood.” smiled Zhong Yue.

  Fu Shan then roasted the leg for a moment and handed it over to Zhong Yue, “There you go!”

  Zhong Yue took it over and in just a few bites, he swallowed the leg, threw the bones aside and thanked, “Thank you for your generous meal!”

  “Good!” shouted Fu Shan, “Now you may go!”

  Zhong Yue continued his advance and suddenly, an absurdly muscular woman slammed her halberd onto the ground and smiled, “You! What’s so great about eating a god’s meat, how about a demon’s meat?”

  “Sure, why not?” replied Zhong Yue calmly still.

  “There you go!”

  The woman sliced a pile of meat away from a demon god’s chest, roasted it and threw it to Zhong Yue, which Zhong Yue ate without hesitation. After swallowing the meat, Zhong Yue wiped away the bloodstain around his lips and thanked the woman.

  The woman gave Zhong Yue a fierce stare but Zhong Yue did not flinch. After a moment, the woman moved the halberd aside and cleared the path for Zhong Yue.

  “Do you drink blood wine?”

  A wild human placed a mountain size barrel on the path and said intimidatingly, “This top graded wine here is made of 99 types of demonic blood and 99 types of celestial blood. I even mixed in a few hundred types of demonic and celestial bones into the wine to further enhance the taste. Are you brave enough to drink it?”

  “Of course!”

  Zhong Yue lifted up the entire barrel and drank the wine right from it. After a moment, Zhong Yue entirely downed the barrel of wine and he spat out some bone pieces and praised, “Nice wine!”

  “Hahahaha!”

  Fu Li stood up, stepped onto Mu Suge’s back and laughed happily, “Mister Yi is indeed one of us! His courage is admirable! Today, you are our guest and we will not try to intimidate you anymore. You want to buy the third prince back and I will grant you your wish but I need to know how much wealth you’ve brought to ransom him back! You will have what you want as long as I am happy with the ransom!”

  Mu Suge looked at Zhong Yue with his hopes all high up; in these three years, he has been through hell and he was dying for the freedom he once had.

  “I brought no gold with me.” shocking words came out from Zhong Yue’s mouth.

  Right away, Mu Suge’s face turned pale.

  Chapter 874: A Gentle Smile |

  Around the pale skeleton palace, the many humans’ expressions turned grim and Fu Li shouted in disbelief. “You are telling me that you brought nothing with you and you expect me to gift you the Third Prince Mu?”

  Zhong Yue nodded and said calmly, “Not only am I here to ransom him back, but I also want you all to surrender and serve Xian Tian Palace.”

  Mu Suge’s face turned pale right away and he complained in his heart, We’re doomed! How can Mister Yi be so reckless? He came with no valuables, wanted to ransom me and even try to make these barbarians yield? We are all going to die here today!

  Fu Li was so angered that he burst out laughing mockingly while the others all got furious. Fu Shan raised his sword, pointed it towards the oil pot and grinned, “Brat Yi, do you see that pot over there? How about I fry you in it?”

  “Oh? But with my Heavenly Deity’s body, I’m afraid that mere oil won’t harm me at all.”

  Fu Shan replied with a cold smirk, “This oil is not as ordinary as you may think. It is extracted from a demon race’s Imperial Emperor. The fire it’s burning on is the heavenly fire we harvested from the ancient universe’s core! A Creator wouldn’t even last a second in it, not to mention someone like you! Men, bring me the prince and we will start with him so that this little Yi boy here can see the power of our oil!”

  A few wild humans got up, dragging Mu Suge towards the pot and hurled him inside.

  Mu Suge shrieked right away and after a moment, the wild humans extracted him from the pot but Mu Suge continued screaming in pain.

  However, as a Creator, he survived the frying and his powerful body allowed him to shed his skin and regenerate again.

  Zhong Yue’s expression changed and he praised, “Impressive.”

  Another muscular woman said, “This pot will give you an unforgettable nightmare! Did I tell you that we also have special techniques for ripping skin? After ripping your skin off, we will remove your veins and tendons, making sure that you are alive the feel the pain every step of the way. Come, bring me the prince and let’s show this little brat about our techniques!”

  Zhong Yue’s expression changed right away and he immediately stopped them, “There is no need for that, I’ve witnessed your powerful pot and oil. I know how powerful you all are now. There is no need for such extreme measures anymore.”

  Hearing this, Mu Suge, whose heart was on the verge of giving out, suddenly calmed down.

  Fu Li then raised his bone clubs and said, “Then how do you plan on dying? Pick one, Mister Yi.”

  Zhong Yue laughed and said, “Humans, you are all nothing but pawns! You know nothing about your imminent annihilation and still, live your life without care! If I die right here, I will have all of you to come with me and I think that is an honor for me! If that happens, I can’t imagine just how embarrassed you all are to go see your Fuxi Celestial Race’s ancestors in the heaven!”

  Mu Suge’s heart pumped quickly again and he wanted to break free from his restraints to stop Zhong Yue from speaking.

  Just as he thought, Fu Li’s expression became extremely t
errible and he said, “Little brat, I have no idea if we are going to be doomed or not but there is one thing that I know, you are doomed right now! Men, bring him here and fry him up!”

  Immediately, two wild humans grabbed onto Zhong Yue and dragged him towards the pot.

  Zhong Yue however, kept his cool and he said, “I have a big plan. Not only can it allow your humans to escape your imminent destruction, but it will also allow you to recover and reclaim your ancestors’ glory. You bunch of barbarians, I guess you deserved what’s coming.”

  “Fry him up!” shouted a wild human with his bone shield raised up high.

  “Fry him! Fry him” shouted along with the many human magnates as they all held their simple weapons up highly.

  Suddenly, an old voice sounded, “Halt, let go of him.”

  The two wild humans let Zhong Yue down, who then patted his clothes and looked at an old man with grey hair that sat on the skeleton throne not far away. This old man donned a leopard fur robe and his skinny fingers plunged deep into the eye socket of the skull on the handles.

  The old man said mightily, “Let him speak and we’ll decide if we’ll fry him or not.”

  Zhong Yue laughed and said, “The humans still have reasons it seems.”

  “What do you have to say?” asked the old man.

  Zhong Yue walked up and said, “Of course I have something to say. You’ve wandered around the universe in constant fear that you will be annihilated by your foes and in the end, you fled into the ancient universe and became humans. The other Fuxis scattered all over the 3,000 Six Paths World, and lived unremarkable lives where they were treated as nothing but food by the celestial and demon races.”

  The humans immediately groaned at his words.

  Mu Suge on the other hand, was in shock and he trembled as he prayed that Zhong Yue would stop angering these humans.

  Zhong Yue continued, “I, an innate god from my previous life, was reborn into the human race and I was lucky enough to be favored by Imperial Emperor Xian Tian. I am now in charge of 8,000 Fuxi and along with them, we served under Imperial Emperor Xian Tian to aid him in his conquest. If he succeeds in ascending to the throne, he promised me a high position where I am above everyone but him.”
