Rise of Humanity

by <unknown>

  Zhong Yue had goosebumps all over; with the legend in the Dark Age revived, the revival of the dark ruler, what kind of impact would be brought onto the world?

  Will he, the ruler of the Dark Age, be willing to stay in the back and allow himself to be ruled by the postnate beings?

  Was he going to accept the end of his reign and accept the postnate beings ruling?

  Was he going to accept his defeat, or that he was no longer the strongest and the ruler?

  ….

  No!

  Definitely not!

  The Dark Age’s ruler slowly raised his hands.

  At the same time, flesh was still growing on it as a heart was forming slowly.

  He who once ruled the world will refuse will definitely try to alter things and plunge the world back into the Dark Age, an era where he ruled!

  And he had the strength to do so. He was the first lifeform of this universe, the very first innate god, the source of all life and the one that controlled the Dao of life!

  Around the altar, the Deity Kings’ skeletons continued shouting, “Mo he ba he si bb he, si duo ming duo si mo duo!”

  Revival.

  The chantings contained the respect and fear the people had to the ruler.

  He, the ancient god that controlled life and the one that was blessed by the chaos.

  Great Si Ming!

  Zhong Yue had already stopped chanting his Dao language by now but it was already too late, the Dark Age’s ruler’s resurrection could not be stopped.

  Zhong Yue’s Dao language had triggered the heaven and earth Dao that was suppressed by the weird rumblings and sped up ruler’s resurrection process. It was a mess even more chaotic than the one in the Heaven Suppression Palace!

  Back then, there was Goddess Shen Hou to clean up the mess by summoning Dao Venerate Fu Min’s brandings but now, with Goddess Shen Hou absent, who could stop the ruler’s resurrection?

  Zhong Yue definitely couldn’t but neither could Tai Feng, Long Zhi or the others!

  And now, though the Imperial Emperors felt that their powers were no longer being sealed away and returned to their peak form, they were all terrified to a point where they did not dare to move even an inch!

  Before this eerie and horrendous scene, these Imperial Emperors that played a huge role in the previous war of thrones but now, just by looking at the fear in them, Zhong Yue could tell just how frightened they are.

  Perhaps, Fu Shang might be able to stop the resurrection but the crown prince had made a vow to never leave the bead.

  The strange rumbles that suppressed all Daos… Where did they come from? If I can find it, I can probably stop the resurrection!

  Zhong Yue suddenly recalled this and looked straight towards the centre of the altar; the rumblings were very similar to the [Daoless Heaven], both had the power to suppress the heaven and earth’s Dao, which might be the key to stop the resurrection!

  He also noticed Great Si Ming had never even moved up until now, emitted no noise and beside his feet were entirely different patterns that formed an alluring circle.

  Strangely, as if it were fake, the area covered by the circle looked just like a barrier made entirely by light and it rippled from time to time.

  Each ripple would then cause a weird rumble and the rumbling was formed, the Dao in everyone’s body lost control right away. Even the Dao skeletons’ chantings were also affected by the rumbles.

  And it seemed like Great Si Ming was not allowed to leave when he stood in the circle. The strange pattern of the circle had some sort of terrifying energy, an energy of the demonic power, filled with destructive rage that strived to destroy and when one looked at it, his body and Yuan Shen will sink and rot!

  The [Daoless Heaven]!

  The real [Daoless Heaven]!

  This [Daoless Heaven] was even more dangerous, destructive and powerful than the Lei Zhe Ancient God’s [Daoless Heaven]!

  Zhong Yue even vaguely felt that the circle beneath Great Si Ming was siphoning power. When Great Si Ming tried to destroy the heavens to create the impossible world, the world exploded and his enemies immediately linked [Daoless Heaven] to the destroyed world to enhance the [Daoless Heaven]’s power!

  When Great Si Ming opened the skies, how much power he used decided how much power would be erupted when the world destruct and this power will be used to strengthen the [Daoless Heaven]. Hence, the [Daoless Heaven] was able to oppress everything, including Great Si Ming himself!

  It was a perfect set up, a set up so good that it took Great Si Ming’s life and ended the Dark Age!

  Can Great Si Ming break free from this?

  Zhong Yue was very curious. However, he was a little bit conflicted as well; on one side, he was hoping to see Great Si Ming break free from the [Daoless Heaven] and on the other side, he was worried that the ruler’s resurrection would bring chaos to the world.

  Great Si Ming’s heart was now perfectly formed and his body was completely regenerated but there was just no skin.

  Great Si Ming was struggling and suddenly, he pulled out the strange patterns connected to his body.

  Dong—

  Horrendous tremblings came and just like an enormous drum that was beaten when the universe destructed, everything exploded!

  Zhong Yue let out a groan but not before blood gushed out from his body, his skin burst apart and his organs turned into blood water in the drumbeat.

  This drumbeat was not specifically targeted at him, it was meant to attack Great Si Ming, but the shockwave emitted was still beyond his level.

  In his Stone Sentinel Maze, the 16,000,000 gods were all struck and injured at the same time as Zhong Yue.

  With the Stone Sentinel Maze connected to him, these gods were linked to him and the injuries Zhong Yue suffered, they too, will suffer the same injuries!

  I can’t take another hit!

  Zhong Yue was all tensed up and he started flying away as fast as he could from the bottle!

  If the drumbeat sounded again, the rumbling would melt his body and Yuan Shen away without a doubt!

  By then, in his Stone Sentinel Maze, the gods would also suffer the same fate as him and they would cease to exist in this world!

  The four Imperial Emperors were also no better than Zhong Yue; just as they wanted to fly away, they saw Zhong Yue’s movements and they immediately followed behind him after knowing what happened.

  Escape was no longer an option for them as they definitely could not make it. The rumblings will echo through this shattered heaven and earth’s dimension, and if they could not make it out before the second rumble was formed, they will all lose their lives!

  In the altar’s center, Great Si Ming’s flesh petrified and turned into pus when they fell onto the ground but the flesh grew back right away on his body.

  Zhong Yue on the other hand, entered the Light Water Bottle with the four Imperial Emperors dove right into the bottle behind him. The bird body celestial being stretched his wings, flapped strongly in the skies and carried the other three on his back so that they wouldn’t fall into the water.

  At this moment, the rumbling returned and thanks to Light Water Bottle, they were able to escape the power of the rumbles.

  But even so, the sun, moon, and stars in the bottle’s wall trembled and the stars kept on felling down into the Innate Kan Water.

  However, through seeking protection in the Light Water Bottle, they managed to escaped death but they were still badly injured by the rumbles. At the same time, the water in the bottle tumbled around, had them running around to avoid the water from eroding them.

  Zhong Yue turned into the Innate Golden Crow and he flew through the gap between the massive waves and falling stars, dashing through the dangers and he almost lost his life to the waves and stars when the rumbles disrupted his balance.

  Tai Feng and the others were also in bad shape. To think that the Imperial Emperors that were previously so aloof were now struggling so hard, it really was embarrassing. Sudden
ly, they all felt the Light Water Bottle was slanting and the situation did not feel good at all!

  Oh no!

  The five of them began to get fearful; the Eight Barren Deity King’ Dao skeleton had raised the bottle and it’s energy was seemingly activated, causing the water in it to gush out!

  Zhong Yue roared and his Golden Crow wings turned into innate wings made of Space Dao before he flapped and flew away quickly!

  The bird body celestial being also threw in everything they had to fly away and behind them was the eruption of the Kan Water that dragged everything with it!

  Hu—-

  As soon as he got out of Light Water Bottle, Zhong Yue immediately drifted sideways and the dangerous water gushed out while the four Imperial Emperors dragged their heavily damaged body out of the rapid Light Water Bottle seconds later but not before the water gushed towards the altar’s center!

  Things did not stop just like that; the other seven innate divine weapons in the Eight Barren Deity King’s hands, the Azure Dragon Jian, Vermillion Bird Dang, White Tiger Sword, , Black Tortoise Shield, Lightning King Hammer, Li Fire Basket, and Ken Mountain Great Seal all erupted and unleashed destructive power!

  Far away, the innate divine weapons of the resurrected Deity Kings were also the same; their power was unleashed and directed right towards the altar’s center!

  In the altar’s center, a massive drum was pulled out from the circle by Great Si Ming and these innate weapons were aiming right at the drum!

  Chapter 915: Dao World |

  Zhong Yue and the four Imperial Emperors were all tensed up. With that many innate divine weapons attacking the drum, the rumbling created was bound to be monstrous; if the drum did not break, it would definitely unleash hell upon them!

  How was it possible for them to stay safe when they were so close to such terrifying levels?

  Zhong Yue immediately hurled out the Six Paths Bead and dived right into it while the Imperial Emperors squeezed out every single power they had and dashed away.

  Finally, the innate divine weapons clashed with the drum. In that moment, everything froze up, came to a stop and even the Six Paths Bead and Zhong Yue that was literally face to face stopped right there.

  Far away, the rampaging earth, water, fire and wind, the light and darkness, all stopped at once; the disintegration rays shooting out from the earth’s fissures maintained the same but the light stopped moving.

  The chaotic black holes also stopped rotating and the spatial-temporal fragments stopped drifting!

  Zhong Yue tried to move his eyes only to find it impossible.

  Behind him, Tai Feng and the other Imperial Emperors that tried to run away all halted midair; the bird body celestial being that was flying maintained his position and the fear froze on his expression.

  The feared expression on Long Zhi’s nine faces were as clear as pictures with two of her heads looking backwards at the altar in horror.

  The divine light surrounding Tai Feng was pushed towards the front, veins could be seen popping out clearly and his legs were froze in the air.

  Everything ceased from moving, the time stopped and the dimension halted.

  And it was more than just strange.

  Such was an result of the explosion of the two combined powers of the Deity Kings that controlled the Time and Space Dao!

  Space and time froze when these two innate divine weapons landed on the drum!

  In the eyes of Zhong Yue and the others, everything was still normal, but if there someone else were to look upon this piece of dimension here, they would see that everything was frozen.

  Suddenly, the frozen balance was broken; lights swarmed out from the altar’s centre before the other innate divine weapons slammed into the light!

  The light enlarged and flooded the altar in a second, swallowing Zhong Yue, the four Imperial Emperors and the entire Heaven Suppression Palace!

  Vaguely, Zhong Yue saw space and time that was engulfed by the light twist in a very weird manner.

  He saw the spatial-temporal fragments slowly arranging themselves and merging while the spinning black holes spun in reverse, excreting the stars they swallowed and the rampaging elements calmed down.

  The earth stop trembling, the skies ceased tearing apart and the stars no longer fell.

  In the blink of an eye, the destructed scene within Heaven Suppression Palace was entirely replaced by a brand new universe and this universe was slowly shrinking as it returned to chaos.

  Finally, the heaven and earth, including the sun, moon and stars vanished, leaving only gushing chaos Qi.

  Immediately after that, the chaos Qi also disappeared.

  Zhong Yue was clueless and the Imperial Emperors were puzzled as well; they did not know if they are still alive by now as they shouldn’t be alive after the shockwaves created when the Deity Kings’ innate divine weapons clashed with the drum swallowed them whole.

  Zhong Yue bit his tongue harshly and all he felt was pain, suggesting that he was still alive.

  Zhong Yue relaxed and started looking around. Right now, there was no more Heaven Suppression Palace, the grand and massive palace was no more and that included the ancient ship.

  He looked around and was stunned again!

  Beneath them was the Zi Wei Galaxy, except that the position of the stars were entirely different!

  Not only were their positions off, the stars were also extremely scarce!

  The 3,000 Six Paths Worlds are gone!

  Zhong Yue flinched upon seeing no 3,000 Six Paths Worlds!

  Zi Wei Galaxy was located in a higher level dimension, one that was different from and higher than the ancient universe, hence, the stars in the ancient universe were hung high in the skies of Zi Wei Galaxy.

  But now, he saw the ancient universe but not the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds!

  Besides, the Zi Wei Galaxy was far different from the one he knew; it was younger and livelier as if it was just newly created!

  What… what year is this? The stars’ trails, it should be … 2,000,000 years ago!

  Zhong Yue shivered and he looked straight towards Tai Feng and the others, only to be shocked again. Instead of Tai Feng and the others, he saw only a few prehistoric Deity Kings!

  They were walking towards him and one of them was the Eight Barrens Deity King that ruled the Eight Barren Dao. At this moment, the Eight Barrens Deity King who appeared extremely muscular had flesh and blood and in his eight arms were his eight innate divine weapons.

  The other few Deity Kings were also the Deity Kings that were previously seen on the altar, those that commanded space, time, five elements, Yin and Yang.

  When the few Deity Kings got close, they were conversing happily. Suddenly, the Eight Barrens Deity King bowed and greeted, “Great Si Ming!”

  The other few Deity Kings also greeted with a bow, “Great Si Ming!”

  They all spoke in the innate godly language, which was difficult to understand for Zhong Yue but at this very moment, his body involuntarily raised its hand and signaled Eight Barren Deity King and the others to stand back up.

  Zhong Yue wanted to say something and when he did, the language that came out of his mouth was the obscure innate godly language. Unlike his original voice, his voice right now was very thick and baritone.

  “Gentlemen, the altar is readied. Please come with me, I’ll need your power.”

  This voice was very unfamiliar to him and Zhong Yue was in fear. It was as if he had turned into someone else. His movements, how he spoke and everything about himself were entirely weird.

  Did they just call me Great Si Ming?

  Without his body under his control, Zhong Yue was forced towards the front with a tightened heart; the Deity Kings followed right behind him and in no time, they arrived at the altar where even more Deity Kings gathered around,

  Zhong Yue’s heart thumped again after he saw Goddess Shen Hou!

  No, it should be Goddess Hou Tu!

  She was also among the many Deity
Kings and she was most probably one of the Deity Kings that forged this altar!

  “Thank you for your efforts, ladies and gentlemen.” Zhong Yue heard himself saying.

  The incomprehensible innate godly language now appeared to be extremely easy and smooth as he spoke it and everything he wanted to convey was conveyed clearly.

  …

  “Great Si Ming.”

  A Deity King approached and said, “I’ve recently met with the son of dragon and snake, Great Sui, and I must say that I am greatly surprised. Great Sui has achieved the impossible level and in just a few thousand years, he is already on par with us. Apart from that, he is also teaching those postnate beings the way of cultivation, allowing them to learn his techniques and arts, bestowing them with power. Some of them are even catching up with us!

  Zhong Yue listened to their quarels quietly and after some time, a Deity King then asked, “Great Si Ming, you are the ruler, you have to tell us what to do. Should Great Sui be executed?”

  Zhong Yue then heard himself saying with a heavy and thick voice, “Where do these postnate beings come from?”

  The many Deity Kings laughed and replied, “There are no postnate beings originally. They were all born by us, created by us and with that, the creation of postnate beings. They are called as postnate beings to separate them from us.”

  Zhong Yue then heard himself continued, “If they are our descendants, what is wrong in giving them this universe?”

  The Deity Kings were caught off guard and one of them rebutted loudly, “If we gave them our universe, where are we supposed to go?”

  Zhong Yue heard himself laughing again, “That’s why I needed your help in forging this altar. I plan to create an endless dimension, a whole new universe, an impossible world.”

  “An impossible world?” the many Deity Kings looked at the massive altar.

  “Great Sui created the Void Realm and us, we will create an even more advanced world!”

  Zhong Yue continued, “In this world, there will be no filth, no impurities, no postnates. Only the Daos. Daos that flowed in this universe, a world that is entirely made of Daos, the stars, sun, moon, water, flower, mountain, they are all Daos. I call this world….”
