Rise of Humanity

  Outside of the altar, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian heaved a breath of relief and thought, With Mister Yi doing this, I’ll be less pressured too.

  Then, rays flashed across his eyes and he laughed as he said, “Since Zhu Xie is alive, then there will be no need for the Black Edge anymore. I plead Your Majesty to return the order.”

  Heavenly Monarch Di Ming was surprised too, he looked at Zhu Xie and mulled, he said, “If that’s the case, there will be no need for the Black Edge anymore. My loyal subjects, please retract your skills and arcane energy .”

  The Deity Emperors and Creators all kept their arcane energy and essences, and the Heavenly Deity Altar has shrunk down. Zhu Xie shouted, “His Majesty, wait! I still want to fight King Yi!”

  Zhong Yue smiled, he walked down the altar.

  Zhu Xie stood on the middle of the altar, he bowed, “Your Majesty, one more round, I will surely defeat him! Please give the orders and rerank the Future Monarchs Board!”

  Heavenly Monarch Di Ming hesitated while Imperial Emperor Xian Tian said, “The board has been set, the battle is over. Now, you want to go back on your word? A ruler’s words should be beyond reproach. If Your Majesty keeps going back on your word, it would be difficult to maintain your rule, no?”

  “One more round, I’ll kill him with the [Evil Tome]!”

  Zhu Xie raised his voice, “I am not for the victory, I am to set the name of the [Evil Tome]!”

  Heavenly Monarch Di Ming frowned, he looked at Zhong Yue but the latter had already walked down the Heavenly Deity Altar. He was surrounded by the Saint Board’s Heavenly Deities, True Deties, and Deity Overlords. They were celebrating and clearly, he didn’t have any intention of fighting anymore.

  “Your Majesty, Zhu Xie’s current state doesn’t look right. He is too after the victories, his Dao heart is affected.” Beside, Goddess Queen Monarch said softly, “He has been slashed by King Yi so many times, will that leave him with any hidden wounds?”

  Heavenly Monarch Di Ming quickly looked over at Zhu Xie but found him nothing out of the ordinary. It was just that Zhu Xie’s aura too seemed to be undulating heavily.

  Beside Zhong Yue, the Heavenly Deities, True Deities, and Deity Overlords swarmed into him. They all wanted to ask him to share his experience of opening the seventh secret realm.

  “Don’t make noise!”

  Tian Xuanzi leaped up of the table and kicked all the stuff on it aside. He shouted, “Old Yi, I respect you! Can you show me your sabers? The sabers that can even slash the innate god to pieces, I must have a look at them!”

  The crowd immediately went quiet and stared at Zhong Yue. Zhong Yue laughed, the Space Dao and Time Dao flew out and turned into two sabers, then he handed it over to Tian Xuanzi.

  Tian Xuanzi inspected the sabers carefully and praised. Then, Ti Mobei snatched it over and took a look as well. Then, another True Deity has snatched it over, and as such, the sabers were passed around.

  Zhu Xie stood on the altar’s center, he was looking at them as he shouted, “King Yi, do you dare to fight with me another round!?”

  Tian Xuanzi laughed, “A loser and what are you shouting about? What, you don’t want to accept your defeat? A hundred years later, when the Future Monarchs Board is to be reranked, come again then!”

  Zhu Xie ignored him and shouted again, “Do you dare or no?”

  Zhong Yue didn’t answer.

  Heavenly Monarch Di Ming also noticed the strangeness, he said, “Zhu Xie is injured, but this wound seems peculiar. It’s hidden in his body and has yet to come into effect. Have him return back here quickly. King Shen Wuwei, bring him here.”

  King Shen Wuwei nodded and rushed for the Heavenly Deity Altar.

  Beside Zhong Yue, the gods were still looking at the sabers. And eventually, the sabers were returned back to Zhong Yue’s hands.

  “King Yi, come up the altar and fight!” Zhu Xie shouted.

  Zhong Yue took over the two sabers and two saber sheathes formed from the Innate Change Dao appeared on his waist. He sheathed the Saber of Time into it and created a light sound of metal clanking, the clank reverberated for a long time.

  Ding–

  Zhu Xie was stunned, he stood unmovingly like a puppet on the altar.

  Zhong Yue raised his hand and sheathed the Saber of Space again. With the two sabers back into the sheathes, the two sounds of metal clanking reverberated together, and even resonated with one another.

  “Not good!”

  King Shen Wuwei’s scalps tingled and he quickly rushed toward Zhu Xie. He reached his hand out for the innate evil god but Zhu Xie’s body had already crumbled down back into the many pieces of body.

  But this time, the innate god’s blood flowed out of the body parts and painted the floor red!

  King Shen Wuwei reached his hand out, but it was too late, he only managed to hold onto a piece of the many body parts. Blood was flowing out from the sides of his palm.

  “Your Majesty, Zhu Xie, he is…”

  King Shen Wuwei’s voice was quivering as he said, “Dead!”

  Chapter 961: Seeding |

  Zhong Yue sheathed the two innate divine sabers into the same sheath, and as the sound of the sabers entering the sheath rang out, Zhu Xie’s body exploded!

  And this time, he was dead for good!

  “Eh? Eh!? King Shen Wuwei, you killed Zhu Xie!”

  The pretentious Tian Xuanzi pointed at King Shen Wuwei and shouted, “Zhu Xie had never offended you or mistreated you! Why did you kill him!”

  King Shen Wuwei’s expression turned grim and he stared at Tian Xuanzi ferociously, “It’s not my doing!”

  Tian Xuanzi crossed his arms and smirked, “Still trying to make an excuse? Countless pairs of eyes saw that, you’ve reached your hands towards Zhu Xie and he was torn into pieces immediately! His Majesty asked you to have Zhu Xie back down here, but you killed him! How dare you!”

  King Shen Wuwei’s expression was gloomy as ever; previously, he noticed something wrong in Zhu Xie, attempted to use his own strength to suppress the injuries in Zhu Xie but just as his hand touched Zhu Xie, the innate god was already gone.

  From an instance, it was just like King Shen Wuwei was the one that killed Zhu Xie.

  “Even if His Majesty did not execute you and your family, the Evil Monarch will!”

  Tian Xuanzi mocked, “From newborn to the elderly, your entire family is going to be executed!”

  At the side, Ling Zheng’s expression was no better than King Shen Wuwei’s, and he thought, This fool Tian Xuanzi is going to make an enemy out of King Shen Wuwei! I knew there would be nothing good when I brought him along with me….

  Meanwhile, the terrified King Shen Wuwei quickly knelt before Heavenly Monarch Di Ming as he tried to explain himself, “Your Majesty, it really isn’t me….”

  Heavenly Monarch Di Ming let out a cold humph and he gave Zhong Yue a long stare.

  With the two sabers rings out out at two different time, before the first zing noise faded, the second one had already sounded, entangling it with the first noise.

  With Heavenly Monarch Di Ming’s knowledge and experience, it was not hard for him to notice what Zhong Yue did there.

  In the last exchanged blow, Zhong Yue had sliced Zhu Xie into pieces, but back then, Zhu Xie was still alive as the energy from the Saber of Time and Space remained hidden in Zhu Xie’s body without exploding.

  Zhu Xie did not notice this and so were the other stronger ones in Heaven Court because the timing was not right; the Saber of Time halted the time at some point in the future and this was entirely decided by Zhong Yue.

  Which meant that when Zhong Yue swung the saber, the attack was hidden within Zhu Xie’s body but it did not hit him at the present but in the future!

  It was hard to explain this to someone but if this someone who knew how the Daos of Time and Space worked, then there would be no questions.

  Zhong Yue sheathed the saber and the first zing noise was very important as it h
ad to be created by the Saber of Time to trigger the power of time planted within Zhu Xie’s body and anchor the explosion at the specific time.

  And the second noise was from the Saber of Space, which triggered the power of the dimension.

  As the two innate divine sabers’ noise superimposed each together, the power of the two sabers exploded, killing the innate god!

  While the monarchs roughly knew what Zhong Yue had pulled off just now, the Imperial Emperors and Creators only had a rough guess as to what was going on.

  As for those on the lower levels like the Deity Emperors and Deity Overlords, they were all confused and many among them thought that it was King Shen Wuwei that killed Zhu Xie!

  But how many of the monarchs on the spot that knew what happened were willing to help Heavenly Monarch Di Ming?

  Deep down, Heavenly Monarch Di Ming also knew that there were many pairs of eyes set onto the seat he sat on and that they were more than happy to see the Heaven Court being humiliated.

  They wouldn’t stand up for him, clarify that it was Zhong Yue who killed Zhu Xie and if Heavenly Monarch Di Ming pointed this out, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian would in turn stir up the water by accusing King Shen Wuwei.

  If this happened, this nonsense will persist and indirectly impact the Heaven Court’s reputation negatively.

  “Such moves, King Yi!”

  Heavenly Monarch Di Ming gave Zhong Yue a smile before turning around towards Imperial Emperor Xian Tian, “Xian Tian, I am getting envious of you for having someone like King Yi to serve you! You are very fortunate to have someone no weaker than you as your servant!”

  And Imperial Emperor Xian Tian gave Heavenly Monarch Di Ming a smile.

  Heavenly Monarch Di Ming then looked towards the nervous King Shen Wuwei and calmly said, “Get up, Zhu Xie is the one to be blamed for his death, he brought this on himself for being able to back off from the fight.”

  King Shen Wuwei immediately got up and said, “Your Majesty, it is probably the dirty tricks of King Yi, those two saber zings….”

  “Silence,” interrupted Heavenly Monarch Di Ming.

  Imperial Emperor Xian Tian added, “Without any evidence, it is best to not make any statements.”

  King Shen Wuwei immediately understood what happened and he kept quiet after that.

  Heavenly Monarch Di Ming then summoned Zhong Yue and encouraged, “King Yi’s strength is extraordinary. From now onwards, I would like to see you serve the Heaven Court loyally and sincerely.”

  Zhong Yue nodded and bowed.

  Heavenly Monarch Di Ming then brought the Board of Future Monarchs’ banner up, infusing it with his own strength and listed Zhong Yue as the first place, “This board is for those who have the potential and power to become a monarch in the future. King Yi, when you become the Heavenly Monarch, you must set a good example and refrain from committing sins.”

  Zhong Yue’s heart thumped and he immediately looked towards Imperial Emperor Xian Tian, who had a smile on his face and transmitted a message into Zhong Yue’s mind, “That fool is just trying to disturb our relationship. Don’t worry about it.”

  Imperial Emperor Xian Tian is very wary of me, but that is a good thing.”

  Zhong Yue knew what was up and no matter how much he admired Imperial Emperor Xian Tian, they were bound to become enemies. Hence, if Imperial Emperor Xian Tian no longer trusted him completely, it might pose some threat to Zhong Yue, but at the same time, Zhong Yue would feel less guilty.

  The celebration continued, but now, the atmosphere was not as happy as before as the death of an innate god in the hands of a postnate god was much more exciting than the celebration itself. The situation was lit up even more especially when Zhong Yue revealed the seventh secret realm, which shook the many gods in the Heaven Court, attracting most of their attention to it rather than the celebration itself.

  From time to time, there would be gods that tried to talk to Zhong Yue in an attempt to obtain information about the seventh secret realm.

  “After the celebration, I will be talking about the seventh secret realm on the Martial Saint Stage.”

  Zhong Yue announced, “Please feel free to come and we can share our knowledge with each other.”

  An uproar occurred when this announcement was made and the gods all cheered while they informed one another about this news.

  Yin Fanxuan, on the other hand, frowned and whispered, “Darling, this is a little inappropriate, is it not? If you shared this information with them, they might not even appreciate your generosity, the last era of Fuxi is an example.”

  Zhong Yue in turn, winked at her and smiled, “You musn’t think like that. If I entirely opened the seventh secret realm, merging it with the Six Paths Reincarnation and turning it into the Seven Paths Reincarnation, I’d require endless time to achieve it on my own. There is a limit to my intelligence, but I can remove this limit by gathering the knowledge of the other gods and the future monarchs.”

  Yin Fanxuan asked again, “But if you revealed your strongest forte to them and they used it against you, how are you going to fend them off? Postnate living beings are innately weaker than innate gods. What are you going to do if these innate gods learned your seventh secret realm?”

  “I am different from Dao Venerate Fu Min.”

  Zhong Yue calmly explained, “This time, I started this topic and hundred years later, when we gather around again, we will be continuing this topic. Every piece of knowledge that the future monarchs acquired will be gathered around me.”

  He continued, “By doing so, I will receive their knowledge and they will receive mine. When I exchanged knowledge with them, I will receive theirs and gather everyone’s understandings with me. In that way, who is benefitting the most? With their combined knowledge, I will save myself a great deal of time.”

  Yin Fanxuan’s eyes lit up and she asked, “You mean, the decentralization of information?”

  Zhong Yue nodded and smiled, “And this is the benefit of being the one that set up the rules. I’ve made my side into the ocean where the rivers flowed towards and have the knowledge gushing towards me. What I have to is just evaporate some water on my side and rain the knowledge back into the rivers. So, who is gaining more now?”

  “But in the future, there will be someone who manages to achieve the wonders in the Seven Paths Reincarnation.”

  Yin Fanxuan frowned, “Besides, your secrets will be revealed too.”

  “And by then, I would be opening the eighth secret realm and preparing myself for the Eight Paths Reincarnation.”

  Zhong Yue rebutted, “The seventh reincarnation is the Space Reincarnation and the eighth will be….”

  “The Time Reincarnation!”

  Zhong Yue’s ambition was to unify the past, present and future’s time and dimension to form a Reincarnation system that dominated the past, future and present!

  While the Seven Paths Reincarnation might be achieved by someone, the only one that could achieve the Eight Paths Reincarnation was Zhong Yue as the key lies in his [Innate Eight Trigrams]!

  Yin Fanxuan was awestruck. After some time, she said with mixed feelings, “If that happened, you will be very lonely.

  And that was true, if Zhong Yue pulled this off, there would be no one who could put up a decent fight to him, not in the past, the present and the future!

  Zhong Yue, however, smiled, “But no one has ever achieved the Time and Space Reincarnations so I might not succeed in it as well. Perhaps, there will be many interesting foes waiting for me in the path!”

  Yin Fanxuan then seriously said, “Darling, upon perfecting the seventh Reincarnation, you are unbeatable already, which eliminate the chances of you showing off your eighth Reincarnation.”

  Zhong Yue then smiled and said, “It is just a theory, whether or not I can create the seventh Reincarnation remains a mystery.”

  After the celebration was over, Zhong Yue arrived at the Martial Saint Stage, got up the stage and explained to the gods abou
t what he knew about the seventh secret realm as he was surrounded by countless gods that included even Imperial Emperor level gods that were eager to know the secrets.

  This went on for more than ten days and Zhong Yue finally stopped after explaining everything.

  The seed had been planted and as time passed, it would slowly grow as the endless intelligence would slowly perfect the seventh secret realm.

  One day, tremendous changes would occur, creating a powerful impact just like the impact brought to the old world by the Six Paths Reincarnation, altering the course of evolution!

  Hmmm? Bi An is born…..

  Zhong Yue suddenly felt something and he immediately murmured happily, “I can finally stop being his guardian!”

  Chapter 962: A Hundred Years Promise |

  Because of this Dao Guardian’s responsibilities, Zhong Yue had been going through a lot. Apart from fending off all those with malicious intent, he also had to prevent those from the same side falling to the temptation of the Amaryllis. He also had to keep his guard up against himself, fearing that he would lose his mind as well.

  Now, with the Hundredth Reincarnated Saint Amaryllis blossomed, Bi An was born into the world, and Zhong Yue was finally able to absolve himself of a Dao Guardian’s responsibilities.

  On the Martial Saint Stage, even more gods got up after Zhong Yue walked away; previously, when Zhong Yue showed and explained the seventh secret realm, these gods had a glimpse of new knowledge and were now fervently discussing with each other about their understandings.

  However, given the short amount of the time Zhong Yue shown them the seventh secret realm, these gods did not manage to learn much, so they could only grasp firmly onto what they learned and continue dwelling into it.

  However, to be able to understand even a little bit, they were all talented gods. With their combined intelligence, even the smallest rivers would turn into a massive torrent when combined!

  One by one, the gods started speaking, and even Zhong Yue himself felt that he had benefited a lot from the talks for there were a lot of talks about certain areas that he had not dwelled into.
