  Wu Dulang’s face changed again, then, he suddenly laughed, “Ghost Master, joking I am! What benefits will you give me if I pledge my loyalty to His Majesty Heavenly Monarch Di Ming?”

  “Wealth you can never imagine, power beyond your reach, countless enslaved beneath you, land and territory are yours to command, and joy you can embrace every single moment you live.”

  “Fantastic!” Wu Dulang was overjoyed, he said, “But I am now gravely wounded, my cultivation level is…”

  Gui Youming took out a spirit pellet and flicked it toward Wu Dulang, he smiled, “This is the Innate Demon Pellet concocted by the paragon behind His Majesty, it’s more than sufficient to take care of your injuries.”

  Wu Dulang received it and inspected meticulously. When he heard Gui Youming, he trembled in shock and asked in a quivering voice, “The presence behind Heavenly Monarch, could it be that senior…?”

  Gui Youming nodded softly, “My expedition today is exactly ordered by His Majesty to pay the senior a visit. Come with me.”

  Wu Dulang immediately kept his arrogance and followed behind Gui Youming carefully toward the deeper regions of the ancient universe.

  …

  “Zi Wei is really in chaos.”

  Zhong Yue and the others returned to the Zi Wei Galaxy and were on their way back to Xian Tian Palace. Along the way, all they saw were turmoils. Almost every race in the Zi Wei Galaxy was sucked into this huge swirl of chaos. War raged about, territories were conquered, and countless were enslaved.

  Although the Heaven Court was strong and powerful, the turmoil were happening everywhere, it was impossible to suppress all of them.

  Furthermore, the incumbent Heavenly Monarch somewhat seemed careless toward the chaos running in the Zi Wei Galaxy. He was more inclined toward saving his forces for Xian Tian Palace and the other monarch races.

  Along their way, Zhong Yue also saw countless fiends and mischievous creatures walking out from the shadows into the light. The Curse Spirit Disaster God, Million Venom Plague God, Seven Slaughtering God, and Northern Dipper Death God have all walked out from their caves.

  These four Innate Spirit Bodies were almost dubbed useless in the eras of peace and harmony. However, when they were placed in the warring eras, their strengths would be fully unleashed.

  Zhong Yue saw a Million Venom Plague God who has sneaked into his enemy’s territory and brought death upon a whole race. He saw the Seven Slaughtering God who hovered above the battlefield and commanded a million gods in war!

  This Seven Slaughtering God was using the killing intents coming from the war to boost his cultivation progress.

  Zhong Yue had also seen the mysterious Northern Dipper Death God. The Northern Dipper had always been said to be able to control death. In the war, the Northern Dipper Death God held a Book of Life and Death on one hand and a writing brush on the other. Whichever enemy he encountered, he would simply wave his enemy’s life away from the book!

  Whereas in the Zi Wei Galaxy, there were also a few Curse Spirit Disaster Gods that rained disasters and misfortunes all across the galaxy.

  With these Innate Spirit Bodies that were useless before coming into play, the Zi Wei Galaxy was made even chaotic than before!

  And the Heaven Court’s control over the Zi Wei Galaxy has also dropped to its lowest. The races were warring on their own without even heeding to the monarch’s orders!

  “The Zi Wei Galaxy is much messier than the ancient universe.” It was truly an eye-opening experience for Fu Li and he laughed.

  Zhong Yue shook, “The ancient universe will soon be worse than the Zi Wei Galaxy. Not only the ancient universe, but even the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds will also be in turmoil. Chaos will swept across all with no exception! I’m afraid, it will only stop when a faction wins and claims the throne.”

  Fu Li’s heart skipped a beat, even with the wildman’s unlawness, he was still shocked by Zhong Yue’s words.

  The three traveled for two years time and finally, reached the Xian Tian Palace. Zhong Yue ordered Fu Li to wait outside of the palace while he and Mu Suge entered to report to Imperial Emperor Xian Tian.

  …

  Meanwhile, Consort Tian Si and Celestial Emperor Bi Xie have arrived in the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds and were rushing their way to the Yong Ming Six Paths World.

  Consort Tian Si took out the Karmic Line given by Zhong Yue and ran calculations on it. Suddenly, her eyes brightened up and she lead the way toward the outskirts of the Yong Ming Six Paths World.

  The two spent months before they finally found their destination. It was a stellar system exiled from the Yong Ming Six Paths World. It was surrounded with an air of misfortune that was so tense it formed a region of misfortunes. Consort Tian Si and Celestial Emperor Bi Xie eventually made their way through the region of misfortunes while escaping death by a whisker numerous times.

  “Dear guests, you’ve come far enough. What do you need here?” A sweet voice could be heard asking. Consort Tian Si and Celestial Emperor Bi Xie looked over and saw a young and pretty village lady holding a flower basket standing in the flower bushes. She was accompanied by a young man and were both looking at them curiously.

  Consort Tian Si calmed herself, she bowed slightly and replied, “We are here to ask for your help to save our lives.”

  Celestial Emperor Fei Yan examined the uninvited guests from tip to toe. She was surprised and said, “You two have killed a great deal of lives, as such, their Karma gave cursed your lives now. Death will arrive soon enough, and it is inescapable. True, Little Bai and I are able to save your lives, but the questions is, why should we?”

  “Can the two of you recognize this silk line?” Consort Tian Si took out the Karmic Line given by Zhong Yue and asked in hope.

  “No.” Celestial Emperor Fei Yang and Bai Canghai shook togetherly.

  Bai Canghai sneered frigily, “But I recognize this horn. I’ve had the fate to cross path with Bi Xie in the past; but shame, his grand ancestor has shamelessly possessed his life. As such, Brother Zhong has lamented for a long time, he said he had lost a fellow Daoist who could stand on par with him and grow together with him. This horn, it is Celestial Emperor Bi Xie’s Warhorn, and thus, you should be Celestial Emperor Bi Xie? I recognize this face, it belongs to Bi Xie’s body.”

  Rays flashed across Celestial Emperor Bi Xie’s eyes, he asked in a hoarse voice, “You came from the Ancestral Star?”

  Bai Canghai nodded and smiled coldly, “You want us to save you? Impossible! Brother Zhong has been wanting to kill you, but you’ve been good at hiding. But today, you’ve come to deliver your life? I will just have to trigger the curse in you and bring forth the Heavenly Retributions earlier, that is all it takes to kill you!”

  Celestial Emperor Bi Xie immediately burst out his killing intent while Consort Tian Si frowned. She was hesitating if she should flip the table against these two Innate Curse Spirits.

  It was at this moment, a voice came descending down from the skies, “Celestial Emperor Fei Yan, Brother Bai, help them. The curse and Karma in them are able to boost your strengths further, even pushing you two to the levels of Creators.”

  The crowd in the planet looked out in shocked and exclaimed, “The Zhong Shan Clan’s member!”

  “Brother Zhong!”

  “The Fuxi!” Consort Tian Si was agitated, her eyes filled with waters and her voice was trembling, “Are you the Fuxi in the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds? Human Tian Si pleads the Fuxi to come out…”

  Chapter 882: Their Own Paths |

  From the skies, the melodious song of dragons roarings and phoenixes chirps could be heard.

  A young Heavenly Deity surrounded by Deity Emperors was walking down from the clouds. Lights were shining brightly around him and a bevy of specters were flying around him

  Consort Tian Si’s heart thumped violently as she stared closely at the young Heavenly Deity.

  The Fuxi Zhong Yue.

  She had long heard of his name. She knew that Ki
ng Zi Guang had been to the lower worlds just to capture this Fuxi, she also knew that this young Fuxi had not only escaped but even plundered Realm Monarch Bo Luo’s treasure vault.

  Then, Heavenly Monarch ordered men to the lower worlds, his order was for the gods of the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds to hunt for Zhong Yue. Yet, this young Fuxi was always able to escape and furthermore, bring even more casualties to those hunting for him.

  She looked at him carefully. The young Heavenly Deity had large eyes and thick brows. His eyes glimmered brightly with the light of wisdom, his face was stern and resolute, and he harbored intense killing will within, being able to push back anyone who stood against it. Clearly, he was a battle-seasoned expert.

  He had a vertical eye slit on his forehead — it was the Fuxi Clan’s divine third eye. It was now closed, but she wondered how strong would it be when it was opened.

  What a strong Fuxi! Consort Tian Si’s heart skipped a beat. This young Heavenly Deity’s prowess was incredible. There was a savage and yet charming air about him. Standing in the center of the Deity Emperors, the air around him made him stand out among all, it was as if he was naturally the focus of the world!

  He felt like a god of war walking out from a sea of blood, his back was not bent, his will was not twisted, his mind and heart bowed to no heaven and earth. He was a man of steel, that he would stand above all!

  His air was like a wild beast, but what was truly wild was his heart!

  He was no weaker than any of the talents in the Zi Wei Galaxy! Hope rose within Consort Tian Si and she thought, Maybe, he will be able to protect us humans in this chaotic era; that he can lead us out from our eternal sufferings…

  There were over a hundred Deity Emperors beside the Fuxi Heavenly Deity centering him, their auras alone suggested that they were also experienced war-veterans!

  Among them, there was a celestial emperor with a big tummy, smiling every day, every second to everyone. There was also a celestial emperor with a monkey’s face, he was definitely a top-tier Deity Emperor!

  Celestial Emperor Bi Xie couldn’t help but grow anxious seeing that Zhong Yue was surrounded by so many experts. Whereas Consort Tian Si thought, Celestial Emperor Bi Xie and Fuxi had a bad past, I wonder what it is? Celestial Emperor Bi Xie is self-conceited, he despises everyone and yet, he is anxious in front of the Fuxi?

  “Fuxi, you passed the region of misfortune, because of this Heavenly King Lu?” Celestial Emperor Fei Yan was surprised.

  The young man smiled, “Heavenly King Fu is the Innate Blessing Spirit Body, without him, it’d take us a long time to come in. Fei Yan, although you are a Deity Emperor, the cultivation of the Innate Curse Spirit Body is harder than the ordinary cultivators. If you can absorb the curse from them, you two might be able to cultivate into the level of Creators.”

  Celestial Emperor Fei Yan’s eyes brightened up, she smiled, “I too know this, but the Heavenly Retributions on them are too strong, this comes only from the suffering and death of countless people. It’s still uncertain if we are able to absorb and digest it all.”

  The young Fuxi said casually, “The Heavenly Retributions come from the chaos of Zi Wei Galaxy, through the death and sufferings of the celestials and demons in the Zi Wei Galaxy. However, this curse is not a big issue to Celestial Emperor Fei Yan. Help them quickly and cultivate into Creators. The 3,000 Six Paths Worlds are about to descend into chaos too.”

  Celestial Emperor Fei Yan chortled, she turned to Bai Canghai and said, “Look at this, look at this. Fuxi sure is better at talking.”

  Bai Canghai was also overjoyed, “Comet Star Creators? Brother Zhong, by then, I’ll be stronger than you!”

  The Fuxi was no other than Zhong Yue’s past body, he smiled and answered, “By then, I will still need your power to help me.”

  Celestial Emperor Bi Xie suddenly said, “Zhong Yue of the Zhong Shan Clan, I never thought you would be the Fuxi. You said I wasn’t better than Bi Xie, but do you still think so now? I can rain chaos in the Zi Wei Galaxy, but can Bi Xie?”

  Zhong Yue turned, he looked at Celestial Emperor Bi Xie for a moment before quickly turning to Consort Tian Si and asking, “You’ve asked for me, what do you seek?”

  Celestial Emperor Bi Xie’s face turned dark and gloomy, he asked, “Zhong Yue, what do you think of my achievements!?”

  Zhong Yue didn’t answer.

  But the Deity Emperors beside him turned dark and gloomy, except for one. Heavenly King Lu was still smiling as he said, “Brother Bi Xie, please don’t make random jokes. Although you have the six Saint Spirits, you aren’t a genuine Innate Saint Spirit Body. Your achievements are just moderately fine in our master’s eyes. After all, our master has been traveling across all 3,000 Six Paths Worlds. I must say, even the Realm Monarchs can’t do any better than our master!”

  Then, Monster Emperor Yuan Qi sneered coldly, “The experts master has seen and met over the years are all better than you. How dare you proclaim yourself better than the fellow Daoist of master?”

  Celestial Emperor Bi Xie sneered back, “I rained chaos in the Zi Wei Galaxy, can your master do that? If the Fuxi Clan is really that strong, they won’t be hiding around like underground rats, running from their deaths.”

  The Deity Emperors were infuriated but Zhong Yue gently raised his hand up and stopped them while still looking at Consort Tian Si.

  Consort Tian Si calmed herself, she bowed and asked, “Can I have some time alone with Fuxi?”

  Zhong Yue nodded and walked to a far end with her. After a long time walking, Consort Tian Si stopped and examined Zhong Yue. She could see the uncanny maturity that belied his appearance, it was as if this young Heavenly Deity had been seasoned with the vicissitudes of life.

  Zhong Yue smiled placidly, “Miss Tian Si, why do you want to see me?”

  Consort Tian Si said first, “I am already married, Fuxi can stop calling me Miss.”

  Zhong Yue nodded, he said, “Then, Consort Tian Si it will be. Consort Tian Si, you are a human, but from your actions of stirring chaos in the Zi Wei Galaxy, you are working for someone, are you? This faction is strong enough to make you and Bi Xie bow and work for it, it must be extraordinary.”

  Consort Tian Si nodded, she replied softly, “I am working for a monarch. He promised me that if he could be coronated as Heavenly Monarch, he would spare humanity from slavery and allow us to walk the universe again as free men and women!”

  Hearing it, Zhong Yue immediately relaxed. He initially thought that Consort Tian Si would be working for Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s demon half, and Zhong Yue was worried about his identity getting exposed by Feng Wuji who was as well working under the same person as Consort Tian Si.

  However, after listening to Consort Tian Si’s explanation, he knew that they weren’t serving Imperial Emperor Xian Tian. After all, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian was still not yet a monarch, he was just an Imperial Emperor.

  “Consort…” Zhong Yue thought, “Don’t you worry that the master you are serving now will not keep his promise when his quest is fulfilled? Or even worse, exterminate the humans to hide the fact that he had assistance from the humans?”

  Consort Tian Si lowered her head and answered bitterly, “But I really don’t have any other choice. No other race and faction will value us humans, let alone help us. Only he promised us… I really don’t have any better plan for now. Even when there is no guarantee of him keeping his promise, I will still have to give it a try! Thankfully, we didn’t just fully rely on him. My husband is also a human, a talent stronger than myself. Now, he is serving under another monarch-presence. We are betting on two sides, so we can have two glimpses of hope!”

  “Your husband is serving another monarch-presence?” Zhong Yue startled. Suddenly, respect raised within him toward the husband and wife. They were both wise human, filled with wisdom but for the human race, they’ve given everything they have, including themselves.

  “I heard there is a Human Sovereign in the Zi Wei Galax
y, why doesn’t consort serve under him?” Rays flashed across Zhong Yue’s eyes as he asked.

  Consort Tian Si sneered coldly, she grinds her teeth and said, “Yan Sovereign Jiang Yiqi? This scum! He is filthy and greedy for wealth and power. He betrayed all humans and bent the knees to the for our enemies! With this trash commanding the human race, we will soon face destruction!”

  Zhong Yue was stunned.

  Consort Tian Si continued cursing, “He has given himself as a dog to Imperial Emperor Xian Tian, but even so, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian doesn’t trust him fully! There is also a King Yi, Yi Feng, said to be an advisor to Jiang Yiqi. But he is actually the true mastermind. Jiang Yiqi follows everything this Yi Feng says! Fuxi, if you’re heading for Zi Wei, never get in touch with Jiang Yiqi or he will sell you off mercilessly! As well as that Dog Yi, sly and cunning, wise yet nefarious, always be wary of him!”

  Zhong Yue was dumbfounded, only able to regain his composure seconds later. He laughed and said, “I understand. Consort, you still have yet to mention why you are looking for me.”

  Consort Tian Si turned silent. Everything she had said sounded important but they weren’t what she was here for him. And now, she was hesitant about whether to even state her true purpose to be here.

  Moments later, when Zhong Yue turned to return, Consort Tian Si abruptly said, “If I help you become the ruler of this universe, will you give the humans a brighter future?”

  Zhong Yue’s body shuddered, he stopped and turned to look at her. He wanted to see if she was truly trying to help earn the humans a future.

  Consort Tian Si’s voice was trembling as she continued, “You are a Fuxi, you will gain enormous power when you grow to your peak, right? You can fight against all the other races and those sitting high up above all, right? I know the humans are Fuxi sealed from powers, you too are unwilling to resign, right? I can help you, the wisdom of humanity is able to help you…”

  Zhong Yue was quiet for seconds; then, he turned and walked back toward Celestial Emperor Fei Yan and the others while replying, “Consort Tian Si, you are an intelligent lady, you should know that you shouldn’t put bet everything on me. You don’t know what is in front of me, the fight for the throne of the Heavenly Monarch? That is nothing compared to my true enemies. There are those above the Imperial Monarchs waiting for me ahead. If I succeed, I will surely grant the humans a bright future, but if I fail, my last wish is for the humans to go extinct with me. Do you understand what I am saying?”
