Rise of Humanity

by <unknown>

  “Dear friends, this way, please!” then came Heavenly Monarch Di Ming’s voice as he invited them to the Ling Xiao Palace.

  As the monarchs walked towards Ling Xiao Palace, Celestial Monarch Jin Wu suddenly saw the Fusang Divine Tree flying past his vision, prompting him to stop and look towards Hundun Yu in shock.

  That’s the Fusang Branch that I gifted…. Hundun is still here! Why is his descendant following this human? Could it be….

  He was shocked and he immediately shifted his gaze to Zhong Yue who was standing beside Hundun Yu upon recalling what Hundun once told him!

  170,000 years ago, when the Chaos Divine Turtle got onto land, it told Celestial Monarch Jin Wu that it was here because 170,000 years later, there would be someone that would stir up the time flow and alter the future!

  It was here to wait for that person that altered the future!

  Could it be that Hundun finally met this person that altered the future?

  Celestial Monarch Jin Wu was still in shock, but not before he noticed Zhong Yue’s appearance, which shook him even more, This person! He is the human that visited us Jinwu Clan and tried to fish the Chaos Divine Turtle but was instead dragged away! He is that human!”

  Right now, even though he was an innate god, one with great monarch level power, his heart and mind were both experiencing tremendous waves!

  Suddenly, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian shifted position and blocked off Celestial Monarch Jin Wu’s vision, “Celestial monarch, please.”

  He thought that Celestial Monarch Jin Wu was about to harm Zhong Yue, hence, he quickly intervened but little did he know of Celestial Monarch Jin Wu’s true feelings!

  He is that human? That ‘human’ that brought Hundun out from Chaos! Hundun has gotten onto the land because of him, but why?

  At this point, words failed to describe Celestial Monarch Jin Wu’s emotions right now; Hundun’s prophecy was realized and that included Hundun’s prophecy about him. Without the Chaos Bead given to him by Hundun, Celestial Monarch Jin Wu would have been dead long ago!

  He quickly calmed himself down and smiled, “Siss… my friend, let’s go.”

  Fire started within Imperial Emperor Xian Tian upon hearing this while Demon Monarch Yang Hou laughed, “Jin Wu, if you want to say it, just say it. Sissy, it has been a long time, hasn’t it?”

  With a still expression, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian retaliated, “The last time we met was when I chased you out of Zi Wei?”

  Demon Monarch Yang Hou burst out laughing, “Which is why this time, I returned in just a high profile and you are helpless before my return.”

  The monarchs all remained smiling and they quickly entered Ling Xiao Palace. Celestial Monarch Jin Wu then thought, This human, what will he do in the future? Why is the future all messed up?

  Meanwhile, as the monarchs entered Ling Xiao Palace together, the scene surprised the many gods as they never thought that the monarchs would be acting in such a calm and friendly manner. The ancient universe never bowed before Zi Wei and had always been doing anything it wished. Both sides were like fire and water. Yet, when the monarchs from both sides met each other today, the atmosphere was entirely different from what they expected.

  But deep down, Zhong Yue knew what was going on; this was the result of the tension among all of them mutually restraining each other. As much as they wanted to kill each other and wipe out their power, they would have to pay a great cost to achieve that and were worried about the other powers taking advantage of that price.

  Hence, instead of engaging in a fierce war, they chose to maintain that tenuous balance.

  Celestial Monarch Jin Wu and Demon Monarch Yang Hou must have known this and that was why they were brave enough to attend the celebration.

  But still, the celebration was bound to be a very intense one from the beginning. In a way, it was war in and of itself!

  Before the war between the monarchs, everyone else is nothing more than just puny ants. They are definitely part of the war for the throne! However, apart from that, it will also include those that have yet to show themselves!

  Zhong Yue thought, Mo Yin is definitely playing with fire by attempting to gather the fate and luck for the current Heavenly Monarch. Not only will he fail but it will allow the enemies to accurately pinpoint the weaknesses in the Heavenly Monarch. There are at least six of them that can stand face to face against the Heaven Court with equivalent power. But the Heaven Court’s power is still undeniably strong!

  Back then, Heavenly Monarch Di Ming managed to suppress everything because he had companions at the same level. But now, the once companions had now become new enemies!

  Other than that, the competitors that once failed will not sit aside. This time, they’ve returned with greater strength!

  With that, even with the supreme power of the Heaven Court, it will still be outnumbered.

  Perhaps, what was shown up until now was just a decoy. Mo Yin is not that dumb and perhaps, there are already some among the seven monarchs that had already reached a certain level of agreement with Heavenly Monarch Di Ming.

  Zhong Yue recollected his thoughts and said to Yin Fanxuan, “Darling, return to the Yinkang Clan while I take Fu Li to the East Heaven Palace to look for Huaxu Clan’s messenger.”

  Yin Fanxuan nodded, stood up and left; with Yin Bokang revealing his location previously, it would not be hard for her to reach him again.

  Zhong Yue turned around and took one final look at the dimensional fragment. He sighed , Shame, I could only leave this fragment here.

  Fu Li looked at the Six Paths Armillary Sphere, Soul Killer Needle, Soul Cutter and he hesitated, “Master, these weapons?”

  “Leave the Six Paths Armillary Sphere and Divine Dragon Bell.”

  Zhong Yue smiled, “Leave it for Mo Yin so that he will learn his lesson. Hundun Yu, the Soul Cutter….”

  Hun Dunyu immediately waved the tree branch, and slammed it forward, crushing the Soul Shearing Scissors into dust and saying, “These scissors are making me uneasy. I keep seeing myself being cut to death by it and I’m feeling better after destroying it.”

  Zhong Yue, however, frowned as Hundun Yu’s action made him uneasy on the other hand for the destroyed weapon could still be created again and Hundun Yu’s action would only have Mo Yin being able to pinpoint his weak point right away!

  The trio then headed to the East Heaven Palace and after some time, they finally arrived at the gate, where a Hua Xu Clan lady welcomed them as she explained, “You’re a little late. The goddess is not here, she’s been invited to Goddess Queen Monarch’s.”

  “Did she say when she will be back?” Zhong Yue asked.

  “No,” replied the lady.

  Disappointed, Zhong Yue walked away with Hundun Yu and Fu Li. Suddenly, his eyes caught a glimpse of a lady officer. Why is she here? She’s really mysterious!

  Chapter 940: Stealing Treasure |

  The lady officer was extremely unfamiliar; she had nine faces, a body with serpent scales and tail. She was a Xiang Liu Celestial Race’s officer. Upon detecting Zhong Yue’s vision, she immediately turned around, also surprised at what she saw.

  A smile then emerged on her nine faces.

  It was Si Ming, the other female Fuxi. Unexpectedly, she had snuck back into the Heaven Court, putting on a disguise as an officer. Judging by her attire this time, she was seemingly a court lady that served Goddess Queen Monarch.

  The officers in the Heaven Court all represented corresponding stars. The reasons behind it were to ease cultivation and also to identify everyone to minimize infiltration by enemies. So how did she manage to become a court lady?

  Questions ran wild in Zhong Yue’s mind. He had only met Si Ming three times including this time but each time, she always gave Zhong Yue a greater sense of mystery.

  “Help me to steal something.”

  Si Ming’s voice sounded in Zhong Yue’s psyche ocean and when he noticed the Xiang Liu Celestial Race’s court lady was walking f
urther and further away, Zhong Yue decided not to follow without hesitation. In the Heaven Court, he was also one of the centers of attraction, one of the main priorities of the Division of Surveillance. Thus, if he followed behind Si Ming, it would risk exposing Si Ming.

  Besides, with Hundun Yu sticking around him every second, it was very hard to meet Si Ming alone by himself.

  Si Ming will come looking for me. I wonder what is her target this time. There are now 8 monarchs in the Heaven Court and Goddess Shen Hou is also one of them. With the 8 monarchs present and the 36 army divisions, she is really a brave one trying to steal something!

  Zhong Yue’s eyes blinked, What is she trying to steal?

  At this same time, another voice sounded out in Zhong Yue’s mind, “Little friend Yi, do you mind having your friend on the side to meet up with me?”

  Zhong Yue’s heart thumped intensively and he almost shouted in surprise because this voice belonged to Celestial Monarch Jin Wu!

  At this time, Celestial Monarch Jin Wu should be inside with the other monarchs. He never thought Celestial Monarch Jin Wu would contact him!

  Zhong Yue calmed himself down and he replied to the voice in his psyche ocean, “Which friend?”

  Celestial Monarch Jin Wu’s voice sounded immediately, “The little friend from the Hundun Clan.”

  Zhong Yue nodded and quickly, he realized that Celestial Monarch Jin Wu would not be able to see the nod so he replied, “Okay.”

  Celestial Monarch Jin Wu’s voice vanished quickly and second later, Hundun Yu said, “Mister Yi, Celestial Monarch Jin Wu told me that he wants to meet me.”

  Zhong Yue replied, “He also told me about this, just go and meet him later. I don’t mind.”

  Hundun Yu was feeling a little out of sorts upon hearing this and asked, “Can you come with me then?”

  Zhong Yue burst out laughing and he explained, “Celestial Monarch Jin Wu wants to meet you, not me. How can I possibly tag along?”

  Sometime later, rumbling laughter was heard coming of Ling Xiao Palace. Seconds later, Heavenly Monarch Tian Yuan and the other Imperial Emperors were exiting the palace. The Heavenly Monarch then said with a smile, “My friends, the journey must have been a long one, please stay here for a few days and wait for the banquet.”

  Celestial Monarch Jin Wu, Demon Monarch Yang Hou, and the others nodded and Heavenly Monarch Tian Yuan summoned an officer to tend to the accommodations for the guests.

  The palaces that the six monarchs stayed in were named the Six Imperial Courts, which meant that the six courts were as important as the Heavenly Monarch. They were assigned to the six guests in order to highlight their equally high position.

  Zhong Yue then returned to the West Heaven Palace, where his accommodation was wrecked by the Fusang Divine Tree and only the walls preserved.

  Not long later, a messenger came to see him with an invitation letter. The messenger clarified his purpose here politely, “The ancient universe’s Celestial Monarch Jin Wu wants to invite the senior martial brother from the Hundun Clan over.”

  Zhong Yue accepted the letter and said to Hundun Yu with a smile, “There’s the messenger. Now go.”

  Hundun Yu, however, shook his head and replied, “The grand ancestor has given you the Chaos Divine Fruit so you wouldn’t chase me away! I have to follow you wherever you go! You must come with me!”

  Zhong Yue lost his words for a moment and he replied, “Your grand ancestor wanted you to follow me, not the other way around. This time, it is Celestial Monarch Jin Wu that wants to meet you, not me. How am I supposed to follow you when I am not invited?”

  Hearing this, Hundun Yu also felt difficult. In the end, Hundun Yu had no choice but to leave with the messenger and that was when Zhong Yue suddenly received Si Ming’s message. He blinked his eyes and immediately notified Fu Li, “Fu Li, go to the North Heaven Palace with my clone and find my wife. I have to be somewhere else for the time being.”

  Another Zhong Yue then walked out of his body and stood beside Fu Li.

  After that, the clone Zhong Yue and Fu Li immediately headed to the North Heaven Palace and just as they left, Zhong Yue’s appearance drastically changed; he had turned himself into a human body and goat-headed god. Then, he walked out of the wreckage and started heading towards Si Ming.

  A moment later, Zhong Yue turned around and he saw a Xiang Liu lady officer standing on top of a floating bridge. He met up with her, to which Si Ming quickly frowned upon examining him, “No can do. This appearance of yours will not take you anywhere. You have to disguise as a lady.”

  “A lady?”

  Zhong Yue frowned, “Why?”

  “Because I am the court lady serving under Goddess Queen Monarch now. I am now under her orders to head over to her place. Do you think that there will be a man among her court ladies? Can you disguise as a lady?”

  Zhong Yue’s eyes rolled around and he asked, “What are you trying to steal?”

  “Of course it’s something extraordinary. It is very important to the Fuxi Celestial Race.” replied Si Ming without showing any other emotions, “Are you coming or not?”

  Zhong Yue bit his lips and said, “Alright, I will come with you. You….”

  Upon having his words, Si Ming immediately dragged Zhong Yue away and they stopped before a palace. Si Ming then took out a mirror, which a lady officer’s look appeared on it and Si Ming continued, “This is where I am staying right now to stay outside from the Division of Surveillance’s eyes. After you put on her looks, this is how her voice sounds like….”

  She suddenly said a few words in a completely different voice as she was imitating the lady’s voice.

  As she spoke, Zhong Yue examined the lady officer’s looks carefully and after a moment, his face changed again, putting on a new disguise that looked no different to the one shown in the mirror.

  A uniform and token were then taken out by Si Ming, “Get changed right now and place the token on your waist.”

  Zhong Yue did as she requested; after putting on the uniform and the token, he walked out from the changing room, which Si Ming’s eyes lit up upon seeing him, “How beautiful!”

  “Shut up!”

  Zhong Yue shouted angrily, “Where are we going?”

  “The Heaven’s messenger’s residence, Bi Luo Palace. We are going there to steal something belonging to our Fuxi Celestial Race.”

  “Bi Luo Palace? That place where Mister Bi Luo stays?” exclaimed an entirely shocked Zhong Yue.

  He had heard of Mister Bi Luo’s name; this man was an innate god with immeasurable strength, a messenger from Heaven and even the Heavenly Monarch respected him greatly!

  Hence, trying to steal something in Bi Luo Palace?

  They might as well cut their heads off and hang it on their waist!

  “Don’t worry, Mister Bi Luo had gone to see Heaven. He won’t be back anytime soon.”

  With an insincere smile, Si Ming mocked, “Are you afraid, Fuxi?”

  At this time, Xin Huo who was in Zhong Yue’s psyche ocean suddenly said, “Brat Yue, don’t give in to her! She is definitely plotting something! Remember, she is the type that will use everything she can to get what she wants! If you agree to her suggestion, you will be used by her and she will kick you down into the abyss if things go south! Every expression she made until now was to serve only one purpose, to make you numb so that you will give in to her! Guilt is a foreign concept to her! Don’t forget, you have destroyed the fate you carried and your new future will be full with unpleasant surprises!”

  Zhong Yue kept quiet for a second and then asked, “What are you trying to steal?”

  Upon receiving this question, Si Ming’s smile gradually faded and her tone turned cold, “Something belonged to the Fuxi Celestial Race, an item of utmost importance. It is tightly related to our race’s future. It is now in Heaven’s hands and I will retrieve it back no matter the cost! The heritage weapon of our Fuxi Celestial Race must not be in the hands of the other rac
es!”

  “What is it actually?” asked a persistent Zhong Yue.

  Si Ming hesitated before saying, “The weapon that was taken away by the Fuxi traitor, the Six Paths Tian Lun! It is an item that can manipulate every Six Paths Reincarnations that was left behind by the last Fuxi Heavenly Monarch! With this item, we can control all Six Paths Worlds, the Six Paths Reincarnation and everything that was created by all the monarch level existences under the supervision of the Fuxi Heavenly Monarch!”

  Zhong Yue’s heart thumped, An item that controls all Six Paths Reincarnation?

  “Once activated, this weapon can command all Hell’s Reincarnation, whether it be the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds or the Zi Wei Galaxy’s lesser and greater Heavens!”

  Si Ming continued, “This weapon was taken away by the traitor and is now hidden in Bi Luo Palace. Mister Bi Luo’s absence in the palace is the best shot we have! If he returned, it will be impossible to steal it out from Bi Luo Palace!”

  Zhong Yue recollected his thoughts. No wonder he felt something was off when he entered the Hell’s Reincarnation back then in the 3,000 Six Paths World. The Hell Reincarnation’s weak defence allowed even ordinary gods to sneak into it!

  So it seemed like the item that controlled Six Paths Reincarnation was missing!

  Any if these Hell’s Reincarnations were all under the control of this powerful item, and the bearer of that item would be able to control life and death!

  “This item can only be used by our people, so Mister Bi Luo and the so-called Heaven are unable to use it.”

  Si Ming’s eyes blinked as she looked into Zhong Yue’s eyes and said softly, “Are you going to help me”

  Zhong Yue took in a long breath and with a firm nod, he said seriously, “I will help you!”

  Si Ming sighed in relief and this time, she gently said, “Don’t worry, with you being the last male Fuxi, I won’t harm you. If you are dead, how is our race going to reproduce? Calm down, I will have to give birth to your child ….”

  Suddenly, she took on a very feminine and genteel demeanor. Zhong Yue, on the other hand, felt a shiver travel down his spine, Xin Huo was right! She is using me to reach her target! I have to be careful!
