Rise of Humanity

  The husband and wife then cut off the communication.

  With Imperial Emperor Xian Tian around, the Yinkang Clan will be safe. It will only be a matter of time before the State of Heavenly River arrives at Heavenly Suppression Fortress.

  Zhong Yue thought, T he Heavenly River Naval Fleet will have to join forces with the other army divisions in Heaven Court and even dispatch monarch level existences if they wanted to eliminate the Yinkang Clan and Imperial Emperor Xian Tian. However, in order to pull that off, they need a lot of time to get the armies readied and given their speed, the only division that will catch up with the Yinkang Clan will be Yu Lin Army.

  The Heaven Court’s Yu Lin Army was a division built by imitating the Earth Order Era Fuxi Celestial Race Feng Clan’s Hou Niao Sect that led all gods with wings, making them the fastest army among the many divisions.

  With Yu Lin Army alone, they will not be able to do anything before the Yinkang Clan, not to mention Imperial Emperor Xian Tian is around as well. The Yinkang Clan is safe now and it is time to go look for Senior Martial Brother Feng.

  Still donning on the disguise as Feng Wuji, Zhong Yue continued heading towards the Imperial Star on the Meng Chong Warship.

  Feng Xiaozhong was not in the Imperial Star, hence, Zhong Yue had to go through the Imperial Star first to head into the Zi Wei Galaxy. Feng Xiaozhong had been wandering everywhere and thanks to Zhong Yue’s clones who were working alongside with Feng Xiaozhong, Zhong Yue could easily locate Feng Xiaozhong’s location.

  It will take half a year until Feng Wuji arrives at the land and this period of time is more than enough for me to leave Zi Wei Imperial Star.

  After a few days, the warship arrived at the dock and Zhong Yue kept it into his Yuan Shen secret realms for he still had use for this warship; without the command scroll to enter the unworldly world, he needed this warship if he wanted to return to that palace again.

  “Senior Martial Brother Yu, I’d have to trouble you for a few days.”

  After acquiring his permission, Zhong Yue kept Hundun You into the Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror before he walked away without hiding himself. He now walked around as Feng Wuji, thus, Hundun Yu must not be around so he kept Hundun Yu into the mirror to prevent exposing himself.

  The massive Imperial Star’s size was beyond imagination but right now, it was set ablaze by the flames of war and the monarch races were staring to wage wars against each other.

  Back then, the Imperial Star was messed up but it was not as bad as it was now right now; after the birthday celebration, the attitude of the many powers was clear. With the world’s fate divided into seven portions by the seven monarch existences, the many races out there, including the monarch races were considering which side to side with.

  With the sides picked, it was time to remove the enemies from the game and with the addition of someone pulling the strings in the dark, even the monarch races were no longer able to sit out from the war and they had no choice but to take part in the war to secure the wellbeing of their own races.

  Once the war ended, the contributors of the new Heavenly Monarch will be rewarded handsomely and with that, these races would blossom and once their lord failed in the conquest, they would also suffer alongside with their lords. Thus, the monarch races were also serious about the war.

  Especially when they had personal affairs among one another and they wanted to have a sweet taste of revenge during this chance.

  Zhong Yue too, was acting carefully to prevent himself from being dragged into their war for if he was involved, even with the disguise as Feng Wuji which will spare him a great deal of trouble, he wouldn’t be able to keep himself safe because the water around was just too deep.

  Besides, with the limited knowledge about Feng Wuji’s information and background, it would be easy to expose himself.

  Throughout his journey, Zhong Yue safely traveled across the Imperial Star as he headed towards Feng Xiaozhong’s location, took the safest and closest route by moving from the teleportals in Dating Clan’s territory.

  With that, he had saved himself half a year’s time.

  “Mister Wuji, what a rare guest!”

  Zhong Yue entered the Dating Clan’s territory and headed straight to the teleportals; such level monarch races all had their very own teleportals that led to every corner in order to warp a certain amount of their army into the galaxies.

  A Dating Clan’s divine general immediately welcomed Zhong Yue and he laughed, “I’ve gained quite a lot from the conversation between us back then in the Heaven Court. May I ask what your purpose is today, Mister Wuji?”

  “Just passing by and I decided to drop by to visit you.”

  Zhong Yue blinked his eyes as he thought cluelessly, Who is this?

  With how wide Feng Wuji’s circle was, Feng Wuji was treated as friendly in many places, but as a result, Zhong Yue failed to recognize this divine general standing before him.

  This Dating Clan’s divine general was on the Deity Emperor level and how he addressed himself before Zhong Yue had told him that this divine general respected Feng Wuji greatly.

  “To be frank, I have some important matters to attend to so I am thinking of heading to the Quasi Star Region through the teleportals here.”

  Zhong Yue decided not to dwell on this topic and he clarified his intentions right away, to which the divine general quickly replied, “Worry not, Mister Wuji. Let us welcome you first while we charge up the teleportals. Just for your information, there is an old friend of yours around. Let me notify him and I am sure he will be happy to see you.”

  Zhong Yue’s heart thumped and he immediately said, “Charge up the teleportals first, I am in a hurry.”

  “I’ll handle this personally, it would not take long to charge the portals up.”

  The divine general left hurriedly, leaving a restless Zhong Yue behind as he did not know of this old friend and he was worried that he would expose himself.

  This Feng Wuji has friends everywhere, pleasing everyone as much as he could and just this alone I am no match for him. I guess this is his talent, being able to be friends with everyone.

  Suddenly, a burst of happy laughter sounded as the divine general brought a god with red face to the scene. This god laughed immediately after seeing Zhong Yue, “Mister Wuji, I never thought that I would run into you again ever since your departure from the Bi Luo Palace. Seems like I am very lucky today!”

  Zhong Yue pretended to be surprised and happy to see him, hugged this innate god and laughed, “How unexpected! What a pleasant surprise! Brother, why are you here in the Dating Clan? I thought you were in… *cough cough*.”

  Who is this guy?

  This innate god from Bi Luo Palace immediately understood what Zhong Yue meant and he answered, “I can stay anywhere. After leaving Bi Luo Palace, I decided to stay here since Dating Clan gave me the best treatment they could.”

  The two sat down while thoughts ran quickly in Zhong Yue’s mind as he tried to figure out what to say, Who is he? What is his name? How am I supposed to address him?

  This innate god was burly, had two horns on his head and he was in a very high cultivation level. This Creator level innate god shown great manners and self-disciple as he spoke, “Mister Wuji, when you visited Bi Luo Palace to break through the True Deity level, you sought answers from me for two questions, which I was unable to answer. Do you still remember the questions?”

  Chapter 985: Answers To Achieving Immortality |

  Zhong Yue’s heart thumped but didn’t reveal it, “Do you have an answer then, senior martial brother?”

  The innate god smiled, “These questions are tough ones. I couldn’t answer them previously but after Mister Bi Luo had us all out to learn new things, I told him about these two questions and received two ways to answer the questions.”

  He smiled confidently and waited for Zhong Yue to ask the two questions again.

  On the other hand, Zhong Yue pretended to have his hopes up and
looked towards the innate god as he waited for the innate god to reveal the answers.

  On the side, the Dating Clan’s Deity Emperor was puzzled, Mister Wuji should ask the questions again right now and wait for Elder Luo to reveal the answers but Mister Wuji had forgotten this because of how eager he is.

  The innate god Elder Luo also thought the same so he decided to skip the platitudes, “Your first question was how to achieve immortality as a mortal, and the second question was how to become an innate god. These two questions were actually the same as an innate god is immortal, hence, the question becomes how to achieve immortality. Now, I have an answer for this question.”

  Zhong Yue’s eyes lit up and his heart tightened for he never expected Feng Wuji to ask such questions and that the innate god had an answer for the question!

  Does this means that I will know how to become an innate god?

  Elder Luo continued, “Mister Bi Luo said in order to live as long as the universe, the innate living beings tried endless methods. In the Dark Age, there were worshipping techniques that had the mortals praying to the innates so that their spirits and souls would remain in the world forever. However, such a technique could only preserve the spirit and soul but not the body. Without the living beings’ prayers, the spirit and soul would eventually die.”

  Zhong Yue murmured in surprise, “This technique is actually from the Dark Age?”

  Elder Luo nodded and continued, “Once enough people worship you, the power of worship will gradually alter your soul, allowing it to slowly take form. Given enough time, the void soul would materialize and turn into an innate god. However, this process requires at least 2,000,000 years and no postnate living beings’ spirit and soul could last such a long time, even a monarch’s spirit and soul could only last 120,000 years at most.”

  The disappointed Zhong Yue then asked again, “And the second way?”

  “The second way is through the Void World created by Sui Sovereign. The time flow in the Void World is extremely slow and spirits and souls that linger within would last almost forever but they would still die if no one worships them.”

  Elder Luo continued, “The Void World was called as the Void World because no real objects could enter, including the postnatal’s body. Only their spirits and souls could enter, but once the race becomes extinct, the spirit and soul will die without prayers.”

  Zhong Yue then recalled something and he asked, “Then could the innate gods enter the Void World?”

  “Innate god’s soul and body are one so of course they could enter, but the postnate living being’s body will not be able to hide from the erosion of time.”

  Elder Luo added, “The third way is to revert the postnatal state back to the innate state and there are many ways to do this. Countless outstanding postnate beings explored the wonders behind the reversion and many among them were Heavenly Monarchs. However, not many of them succeeded.”

  Zhong Yue frowned slightly and said, “I heard of the possibility for the [Hundred Reincarnate Lives of Worldly Tribulations Scripture] to revert the postnatal state back to the innate state.”

  Elder Luo smiled, “Ah, the [Hundred Reincarnate Lives of Worldly Tribulations Scripture], how familiar but ever since its creation, none of those that cultivate this art managed to become an innate god. The fourth way Mister Bi Luo said is to directly possess an innate god!”

  Zhong Yue had a scare and he shouted, “But how? With their Yuan Shen and body as one, they could only be killed! This won’t work!”

  Elder Luo nodded, “Indeed, but there are still many out there that will give it a shot. Apart from the four mentioned ways, there are one more way and the one with the highest success rate.”

  Zhong Yue and the Dating Clan’s Deity Emperor immediately sat up straight and paid full attention fearing that they will miss a word.

  “The fifth way is….”

  Elder Luo paused for a second and said seriously, “Becoming a Dao God!”

  “Dao God?”

  The two listeners were dumbfounded; while the Deity Emperor had never heard of this term and knew nothing about it, Zhong Yue knew exactly what that was.

  When Goddess Hou Tu created Reincarnation, she was blessed with a sudden moment of wonderful vision, which allowed her to ascend into a Dao God, shed away her previous body that later on became Goddess Shen Hou and she entered that impossible world.

  Apart from Goddess Hou Tu, there were another few Dao Gods in Dao Venerate Fu Min’s era.

  However, according to what Zhong Yue knew, only innate gods were able to become Dao Gods; even for someone as powerful as Dao Venerate Fu Min, who was a postnatal, he was not able to enter the impossible world after possessing power and knowledge on par with a Dao God.

  “Senior martial brother, I thought they said that a postnate living being had no chance of becoming a Dao God?”

  Zhong Yue hesitated, “I reckon that it is even harder to become a Dao God than becoming an innate god?”

  Elder Luo smiled right away, “This was exactly my reaction when Mister Bi Luo told me. He said that in order to become a Dao God, a postnatal must shed previous bodies but as to how they would do that, he is not sure at all. After all, no postnatals have ever pulled this off.”

  Zhong Yue was slightly caught off guard and he asked, “Shed previous bodies? What is the reason for this?”

  “An innate god’s body is already almost a Dao body, formed by almost pure Daos and with only a shedding, an innate god will remove all impurities in his body while the postnate being needed a few times to clear away the impurities.”

  Elder Luo said, “Such as the postnate mortal body from birth, the body of dirt from the energies and pollutions of the mortal worlds; the karmic body that is tangled by karmas; the body of emotions, the body of Daos. But that is what Mister Bi Luo said, I don’t know how true this was.”

  Zhong Yue thought of something; he had already shed away the postnate body bestowed by his parents, achieving the innate body while his previous body became Gu Yue.

  Apart from that, there was the body of dirt, karmic body, body of emotions, and body of Daos!

  So I’m still so far behind.

  Zhong Yue was a little excited. He was clueless before this, but now, this innate god had pointed out a path for him.

  “If you become a Dao God, then you will be immortal for sure. It doesn’t matter anymore whether or not you are an innate god by then,” said Elder Luo.

  Zhong Yue nodded as what Elder Luo said was extremely important to him for Zhong Yue now knew what he should do as the mist around his path cleared!

  “The next time we meet again, may we still be friends.”

  Zhong Yue stood up, bowed at Elder Luo and said seriously, “You are serving the Dating Clan now and I am under someone else. In the future, if we ever become enemies, I will not kill you as a token of appreciation for what you told me today, senior martial brother.”

  Elder Luo had a scare and he immediately helped Zhong Yue up with a smile, “Why so serious? We may not be close friends but we still wouldn’t become enemies.”

  “But with how messy the world is right now, the future is unpredictable.”

  Zhong Yue tidied up his clothes and smiled, “Now, please pardon me. I have to take my leave now. Dear senior martial brothers, please take care of yourselves.”

  “Mister Wuji! Why don’t you stay here for a few days?”

  The Deity Emperor hurriedly halted him, “Is it because of our bad treatment?”

  Zhong Yue burst out laughing and he replied, “I have urgent matters to be attended as soon as possible. See you!”

  The Deity Emperor had no choice but to lead the way, bringing Zhong Yue to the portal before Zhong Yue bid farewell with them and got sent away by a cosmic stream after entering the portal.

  Elder Luo then said, “Mister Wuji is improving quickly! He is now extremely powerful.”

  The Deity Emperor jumped and he asked in doubt, “Mister Wuji? He is known for how
wide his circle of friends is but powerful, him?”

  Elder Luo smiled, “Previously, he was one in the top tier, a genius even among the True Deities but there is a huge gap between him and the likes of Yinkang Clan’s Yin Fanxuan and the young man from the Hundun Clan. He is also far weaker than Zhu Xie but now, I can feel a very powerful aura from him.”

  He gave a moment to think about it and continued, “When he sat beside me, I felt that a ferocious dragon was slumbering inside him. It gave me a sensation that was much more chilling than whatever I felt from Zhu Xie! I can tell that his strength is on par with yours now.”

  The shocked Deity Emperor then praised, “Mister Wuji is indeed Mister Wuji. I heard that XIan Tian Palace’s Mister Yi slew Zhu Xie with a miraculous saber attack and to be able to rival Mister Yi, Mister Wuji is really amazing!”

  Elder Luo then humphed, “That Mister Yi actually dared to kill Zhu Xie before everyone, humiliating the name of we innate gods and if I run into him, I will definitely kill him!”

  At the same time, a god came reporting, “Commander, Mister Wuji is visiting.”

  “Mister Wuji?”

  Elder Luo stumbled and he asked, “Which Mister Wuji?”

  “Who else can it be other than me!”

  Then came a burst of happy laughter from the outside as Feng Wuji walked in cheerfully and smiled, “Elder Luo, Brother Ting Yu, it has been a long time!”

  Elder Luo and the Deity Emperor both jumped out, looked at him as if they had seen a ghost while the Deity Emperor stammered, “But we just sent you off so how are you still here? You should be in that teleportal cosmic stream right now….”

  Feng Wuji was surprised and he immediately realized what happened, causing him to say angrily, “That “me” you all saw is Xian Tian Palace’s Mister Yi! This bastard disguised as me and fooled everyone with my identity! Damn it!”

  Elder Luo’s mind went blank and he thought, No wonder he said that if we became enemies in the future, he will let me go! So that’s how it is! How brave this fool is! He actually sat with me and talked so confidently and spoke of sparing me!
