Rise of Humanity

  “My position might be quite extraordinary but I too, do not wish to be involved too much with your affairs. If it weren’t because of the significance of the innate Dao bones, I wouldn’t be willing to come here as well. Are you sure the Dao bones you found belonged to an innate dragon god?”

  Zhong Yue nodded, “Yes, it’s a dragon’s bone and Dao bones at the same time. However, I couldn’t identify its origin so I requested help from uncle. By the way, I still don’t know your name, uncle. If I may have the honor?”

  Underneath the red hood was a man with a dragon’s head, “I come from the Leizhe Celestial Race, my name is Chuo Long. I live in monarch planet Han Shan. I have nine sons with Bi and An being the fourth son and Suan Ni being the fifth. I suppose you’ve met each other.”

  “Indeed, this way please, uncle!” replied Zhong Yue with a smile.

  “Do you mind not calling me uncle please, with you being the only male in your clan, you are the leader of Fuxi Celestial Race. You must not lower your position, hence, you and I will address each other as equals. In this universe, only the founder of a clan or race or innate gods are above us. There are almost none that can compete with you in terms of position, even I had taken a little advantage on your position by addressing you as one from the same level as me.”

  Chuo Long followed Zhong Yue into the King’s Palace and after catching a glimpse of the massive ancient ship from afar, he couldn’t help but exclaim, “The prehistoric gods are really impressive. Younger cousin from Fuxi Celestial Race, you are really lucky to have found this ship.”

  Hearing this, Zhong Yue was a little frustrated; he called Bi and An and Suan Ni cousins while their father, Chuo Long insisted on addressing him as someone with equal seniority.

  “It was thanks to my dear wife that I remembered to salvage things from the river.”

  He introduced Yin Fanxuan, “My wife’s from Yinkang Clan that lives in the Heavenly River.”

  “I see, it’s a pleasure to meet you, the Pearl of Heavenly River, I too, have heard of your name.”

  Chuo Long greeted Yin Fanxuan and after reaching his pocket for a bright pearl, he said, “This is my gift for you, please accept it.”

  Within this bright dragon pearl contained a stream of divine dragon’s Qi. It was a very powerful precious item created by Chuo Long using innate Dao, which bestowed the item with enormous power, making it an Imperial Emperor level divine weapon!

  Yin Fanxuan was completely caught off guard by this and she hesitated right away.

  Chuo Long on the other hand, laughed and said, “As the wife of the Fuxi’s leader, you are equal to the queen of the world, it’s completely acceptable and normal for you to accept this gift.”

  Hearing Chuo Long’s revelation about Zhong Yue’s identity, Yin Fanxuan was dumbfounded even though she already had an idea about Zhong Yue’s identity long ago. She thought, Marrying him is equivalent to tying myself onto his side….

  She looked towards Zhong Yue, to which the young man nodded, telling her that it was fine for her to accept this gift. With that, she accepted the gift and thanked Chuo Long.

  The trio walked towards the ancient ship after that and Chuo Long examined the patterns on the ship closely. After quite some time, he frowned and said, “Could these be patterns from the prehistoric era?”

  Zhong Yue replied happily, “To be able to identify their origin, you must have some knowledge on these patterns, I assume. You definitely can help me solve the mystery!”

  Chuo Long denied Zhong Yue’s hope however. He bitterly smiled and said, “You’ve overestimated my capabilities. I may be an innate god but I am different from the innate celestial dragon that was born in the Ancient Lei Zhe Realm. I am just a celestial dragon born from worship. I am innately weaker than the Ancient Lei Zhe God. When I was born into this world, it was already the Fire Order Era and I never had the chance to see the prehistoric era with my own eyes.”

  Zhong Yue then asked, “Then does elder brother have any research on the prehistoric cultivation system?”

  “I did some research on it but I did not dwell onto this topic since it was too difficult.”

  Chuo Long smiled and replied, “The reason Great Sui became the Heavenly Monarch, monarch of the heaven was because of his contribution in creating the Daos of totem patterns, replacing the prehistoric cultivation system and spreading civilization throughout the universe. He lit up the dull universe with color and life. The cultivation system he created was much easier compared to the prehistoric one. The prehistoric innate ancient gods’ cultivation system is a relic of the ancient past. There is no point in cultivating it even if you do somehow recover them. My advice is to not waste your effort in this field.”

  Zhong Yue shook his head and said, “What I want is to find out the lost wonders of the prehistoric era. Perhaps, I might be able to merge the prehistoric cultivation system with the current one to potentially create a new system. My enemies are too strong. That have already developed countermeasures to all of the Fuxi’s techniques and arts, this is the only path I have left.”

  “I see.”

  Chuo Long was clueless as well, “I know little about the prehistoric era, only with help from the Leizhe Ancient God or Huaxu Ancient God will we possibly have a chance to uncover the secrets hidden within this ancient ship. However, the ancient gods are untraceable, making it very difficult to find them.”

  Hearing Chuo Long’s words, Zhong Yue couldn’t help but feel disappointed. He then proceeded to invite Chuo Long to enter the interior and Chuo Long looked at the Dao bone puzzledly. After examining it for quite a moment, Chuo Long shook, “This is a real Dao bone! Strange, this is something no ordinary man can possess. This Dao bone here can activate the Leizhe bloodline, which suggests that it might belong to a Leizhe Celestial Race’s dragon, one that is birthed by heaven and earth instead of worship. But then again, I’ve never heard of any Leizhe Celestial Dragon that died in a war …”

  Zhong Yue said, “The Ancient Lei Zhe God is still alive and I’ve seen his younger image projection in the Ancient Lei Zhe Realm so this dragon bone is definitely not his!”

  “The Ancient Lei Zhe God is of course alive. He merely shed his previous body and entered that world after evolving into a Dao God. This bone is not his for sure.”

  Chuo Long kept quiet for a while as he continued examining this bone but the confusion within him deepened as time passed. He murmured, “Could there be another innate sacred ground that can give birth to another Leizhe Dragon God in this world? Why have I never heard of it… Wait!”

  Chuo Long flinched and after exhaling a deep breath, he said, “This should be the second ancestor’s bone.”

  “Second ancestor?” Zhong Yue was confused.

  “The first ever innate dragon god birthed by the innate Lei Zhe sacred ground is called Lei Zhe. He was born by heaven and earth, but after his birth, the remaining heaven and earth Dao that did not fade away turned into the second ancestor, which is also called Shi Long.”

  Chuo Long explained, “Innate sacred ground will usually give birth to twin innate gods. The Lei Zhe sacred ground is one and the Hua Xu’s is also another example. The first ancient god from Huaxu Celestial Race is called Hua Xu and the second is Hou Tu. In the prehistoric era, the celestials and demons fought each other ferociously and wars erupted frequently. The prehistoric era is also where Shi Long lost his life and after his death, his bone must have been made into this ship’s keel by an ancient god.”

  Zhong Yue remained silent and after a while, he proposed, “The bone is the ancestor’s remains, I think it’s best for you to bury it properly.”

  Chuo Long, however, rejected, “It must be destined that Shi Long’s Dao bone emerged in this era. His bone emerged, and you are the chosen one, so you should keep it. Once you succeeded in your mission in the future, you can give him a proper funeral.”

  He frowned and sighed, “The Fuxi Celestial Race was annihilated and just this alone will be more than eno
ugh to make you make you work extremely hard for your entire life. You will have to go through a lot of challenges and now, with this….”

  “With what?” asked the curious Zhong Yue.

  “With the affairs traced all the way back into the prehistoric era.”

  Chuo Long answered, “With Shi Long’s bone made into this ship’s keel and you obtaining this ship possession, his vengeance will now be your cross to bear.”

  Zhong Yue’s mind went blank and he exclaimed, “You surely can’t be talking about the fight between innate ancient celestial gods and innate ancient demon gods!”

  Chuo Long was reluctant to continue this discussion and shifted topics, “But it barely affects you since you have already shouldered so many things on your shoulders. Meanwhile, I will stay here to do some studies on Shi Long’s Dao bone because it is also a very important item to me. I will study it and remove the impurities in my innate bones and if I learn something, I will teach you what I learned if I happen to make any discoveries.”

  Zhong Yue frowned and Chuo Long continued, “There should be quite a number of ancient innate gods and demon gods that survived up until now from the prehistoric era. You have a lot to shoulder but don’t be too worried, I will teach you everything I know about the innate godly language.”

  Chuo Long’s psyche wavered and taught everything he knew about the innate godly language to Zhong Yue and he said, “Whatever I learned from Shi Long’s bone will be taught to you as well. Without you, Shi Long’s Dao bone wouldn’t appear so by teaching everything I learned from the bone to you, our debt will be cleared. In the future, just don’t drag me into your war.”

  Zhong Yue nodded and thanked Chuo Long for his help; to have an innate god help him in his studies, the efficiency will definitely be higher compared to him and Yin Fanxuan mindlessly trying to learn anything.

  Chuo Long nodded back and with a raise of his hand, he sealed the dimension around. He turned into the innate dragon’s body and his eyes were sharp as he continued examining this innate Dao bone.

  As compared to Zhong Yue, Chuo Long’s understanding on such a Dao bone were much stronger and only innate gods could be able to learn the wonders.

  Zhong Yue then taught the innate godly language to Yin Fanxuan and the two sat not far away from the Dao bone as they both tried to learn the innate godly language together.

  “There is a Yu word here!’

  Zhong Yue’s eyes lit up and he immediately transmitted his words to Yin Fanxuan, “Yu word is the Space Dao. If we can master this word completely, we might be able to obtain the wonders in the innate wing patterns on this ship and even activate the ship!”

  Chapter 896: Revival |

  The Yu word within the innate godly language was the exact definition of the Space Dao and the wing patterns on the ship was also Space Dao that was carved onto the ship by the prehistoric innate gods.

  Zhong Yue felt that if they understood the meaning of this word entirely, they might be able to activate the wonders in the ship’s wings.

  The husband and wife pair resonated their souls and started studying the innate godly language. Among the two, Yin Fanxuan was strongest in understanding and Zhong Yue was strongest in calculating, with their combined power, their efficiency increased dramatically.

  The innate godly language taught by Chuo Long had many repeated areas with the one Xin Huo taught, all together, there were about 700 words but even so, there were still quite a number of differences between them.

  Such a language was also difficult even to the current innate gods as only a few among the innate gods that were born in the Fire Order Era had mastered such language.

  The innate godly language was too difficult and everyone had a different understanding towards this language; to entirely understand innate godly language was almost impossible. It was equivalent to mastering 700 types of Dao!

  And what the duo was doing right now was just learning what those before them mastered.

  Even so, it took the husband and wife about a year to master the wonders in these words and they could only barely communicate in innate godly language. As they spoke in it, they would trigger abnormal phenomena and resonate with the countless Dao, which was almost as powerful as the [Skills of Diction]!

  But this was not really the [Skills of Diction]. Feng Wuji’s [Skills of Diction] was most probably derived from some of the most powerful words in the innate godly language, and these words were the fastest to be pronounced and so it took a very short time to release powerful bursts of power; as compared to Feng Wuji’s, the innate godly language Zhong Yue and Yin Fanxuan learned needed a considerably longer time to be spoken and they were still nowhere close to utilizing the innate godly language to form an attack.

  Hence, in order to properly master the [Skills of Diction], they needed the specific techniques and arts.

  Throughout time, Chuo Long glued himself to the Dao bones, lingering around it everyday as he tried his best to study the wonders contained within the bones; Shi Long had already reached a level where he no longer required any totem patterns to condense the innate Dao; his entire body was made of pure Dao and this level was far beyond Chuo Long’s and was what he very much desired.

  And given Chuo Long’s level that was much stronger than Zhong Yue’s, it granted him the ability to understand the wonders within the Dao bones whereas Zhong Yue and Yin Fanxuan failed to do so.

  The innate dragon god flinched and the flesh on his body disappeared without a sign, leaving only a dragon skeleton. Along with Shi Long’s skeleton, the two skeletons aligned on the ground, both looking differently.

  Unlike Shi Long’s, Chuo Long’s skeleton was not made of pure Dao; on his bones surface were countless complicated totem patterns and these patterns were continuously glimmering.

  Among these totem patterns, some were already there ever since his birth and some were carved onto his bones by himself after he mastered the wonders of Dao to enhance his power.

  Now, it was almost impossible for him to further improve his strength. After all, as an innate god that was born through worship, the living beings’ worship also limited his achievements. And now, after seeing Shi Long’s Dao bones, Chuo Long finally found a new way to improve himself.

  Then, from time to time, Chuo Long’s skeleton would tremble and with each tremble, the many innate totem patterns on his bones shattered and vanished after turning into light; the impurities in his bones fell and his bones became purer and crystal clear.

  But in order to completely evolve into the Dao bones, he still needed a very long time.

  However, upon complete evolution, Chuo Long would receive a hike in his power!

  The cultivation of innate gods had never been easy, every little improvement was already very impressive and rare. Hence, the appearance of Shi Long’s Dao bones was an opportunity that must not be missed.

  Meanwhile, Zhong Yue and Yin Fanxuan left Chuo Long alone with the Dao bones and they both headed towards the ship’s deck, giving each other a glance and opening their mouths at the same time.

  The innate godly language sounded from their throats and the pitch was very strange but unique; the ancient Dao voices seemingly resonated with the heaven and earth’s Dao, trembling the dimension vigorously.

  What Zhong Yue and Yin Fanxuan spoke was the word “Yu” and it was entirely different from the same word in the divine language. This word they spoke of was entirely different Dao voices and it resonated with the Space Dao as if there were two ancient gods that tried to control the dimension.

  Zhong Yue then unsheathed his innate divine saber, which disintegrated into Imperial Emperor level Innate Yi Dao before merging with the ancient warship. Right away, wings stretched out from the ship’s body and with slow yet powerful flaps, the wings carried the ship into the air.

  Upon merging with the ship, his Innate Yi Dao had transformed into Space Dao and as the two continued speaking innate godly language, Zhong Yue started to feel a very special connec
tion with the ancient prehistoric era’s ancient god that controlled dimensions!

  And as one who had his soul connected to Yin Fanxuan’s, what Zhong Yue felt was also what Yin Fanxuan felt.

  The wings of this ancient god that controlled dimension were made of Space Dao, and as the two continued speaking the innate godly language, the patterns on the wings became even clearer as all sorts of information entered their minds!

  The wonders of the wings in the ship entered their mind and right away, they both felt like they had grown thousand wings, mastered the dimension and possessed the strength to fly into every corner in this universe!

  The innate godly language came out from their mouth slowly became even more complicated and the wings with a wingspan of few thousand miles flapped, shattering the dimension and had the ship floated above Heaven Suppressing Grand Stronghold.

  At that very moment, the many gods within Heaven Suppressing Grand Stronghold felt their heart stopped beating for a second as if the ruler of dimension returned to life but then again, they also felt that the ruler woke up from his slumber and trembled the massive and grand Heaven Suppressing Grand Stronghold vigorously!

  “Something is happening!” shouted an old god suddenly with a trembling tone.

  As a veteran, he was sure and knew what was going to happen after he was stationed in Heaven Suppressing Grand Stronghold for a very long time.

  The star river trembled and towering waves appeared again, except that this time, the star clouds formed from the river water were abnormally bright and together, they lit up the skies.

  And slowly, the waves became even taller than the city walls, overwhelming the city hall as if the entire Heaven Suppressing Grand Stronghold was surrounded by a tsunami!

  The many gods looked at this scene mindlessly and even peak Creators like Fu Li, Mu Suge, and the others felt that they were going to die anytime soon under the massive waves.
