Rise of Humanity

by <unknown>

  Within the raging crimson red cloud was a powerful existence and cloud turned into a Heaven, which dyed everywhere demonically crimson red as it passed by!

  This time, even Yun Juanshu had gotten serious as there was no way for him to repel a Creator even with the help of Zhong Yue!

  Zhong Yue on the other hand, remained calm and said, “Don’t worry, I am a man of my word, you have my promise. Senior Martial Brother Yu, when this Creator gets close, suppress him with the divine tree while I behead him.”

  Hundun Yu nodded.

  This crimson red cloud had a very huge span, allowing it to gulped down every planet they passed, even a sun was about to be dyed red and just when the cloud was about to devour the fleet, a voice was heard shouting, “Ancestor Xue! Ancestor Xue stop! That is King Yi on the ship!”

  The massive spanned crimson red cloud stopped its rampage, shrunk in an instant, revealed an old man in red robe, red skin, red eyes, and red teeth.

  This surprised old man then said, “King Yi? Which King Yi? That King Yi from Xian Tian Palace?”

  Far away, a monster Deity Emperor flew close and shouted, “Yes, he is that King Yi from Xian Tian Palace. Ancestor Xue, please don’t do anything reckless. The entire Galactic Sea of Disorder had received words about King Yi passing by and you still hadn’t received this news because you’re outside.”

  Ancestor Xue’s eyes lit up immediately and he smiled as he looked towards the fleet, “Which one of you is King Yi? May I have the pleasure to meet you?”

  Zhong Yue then walked out and introduced himself.

  “Brilliant! Greetings, King Yi!”

  Ancestor Xue burst out laughing and he clapped his hand, “Bring me the wine!”

  Beneath his wings came a few red bats that turned into ladies in blood red clothes and one of the lady carried a jar filled with wine in her hands while the other two held a bowl each.

  Ancestor Xue filled up the bowls with the blood red wine and smiled, “King Yi, are you brave enough to drink this bowl of wine? If you dare, then I will serve you one!”

  “Why not!”

  Zhong Yue laughed and just as he was about to walk out, Yun Juanshu stopped him, “No! What if he had traps waiting for you? You are King Yi of the Xian Tian Palace and the commander of Heaven Suppression Fortress! If you are captured by him right now, the fortress is gone!”

  Zhong Yue replied, “He is treating me a bowl of fine wine, I see no problem in this.”

  The enraged Yun Juanshu immediately shouted, “So reckless! You have shamed your fame!”

  Zhong Yue ignored him, walked up to Ancestor Xue, stood face to face against him, took over the bowl from the lady while Ancestor Xue raised the other bowl before he downed the wine in one shot, “Cheers!”

  The wine in the bowl was just like crimson red amber and it had a very strong bloodied smell.

  Meanwhile, Ancestor Xue showed Zhong Yue his empty bowl and smiled, “King Yi?”

  Zhong Yue downed the wine immediately and he praised at the next second, “Such fine wine!”

  “Hahaha, of course it is!”

  The happy Ancestor Xue laughed, “This wine was made using more than ten thousand top tier special herbs. These extraordinary herbs 1 are all the special treasures within various kinds of sacred grounds, they all have arms and legs, heads and bodies. In order to brew this wine, I’ve been thieving in the many sacred grounds. It wasn’t only until now that I finally made this wine.”

  He smiled, “Today, my efforts are not in vain after having the chance to drink with King Yi! I can now go back and show off to my brothers back at home!”

  With a nod, Ancestor Xue left quickly with the few ladies wrapped in his sleeves and along with them, that monster Deity Emperor left as well.

  Upon returning to the command warship, Yun Juanshu smirked and mocked, “King Yi, as a master strategist, you have shamed yourself by acting just like those reckless fools! It is so foolish of you to drink a stranger’s wine without any precaution! If your enemies know about this bad habit of yours, you will be set up and killed by them!”

  At the same time, Zhong Yue suddenly shivered; endless divine rays shot out from his body, nice scent spread across the ship as the powerful effect of the wine had purified his body and Yuan Shen massively.

  Together with that, his cultivation level was boosted tremendously.

  Without hesitation, Zhong Yue activated the [Thirty-three Layers Heavens Da Yao Scripture], refined his spine and the many levels were blasted open by the wine’s powerful effect.

  The [Thirty-three Layers Heavens Da Yao Scripture] was cultivated in order to blast open the 33 spinal vertebrae and in order to achieve this, there was no other way but pouring immense effort to cultivate it, which Zhong Yue would require more than hundred years time to fully open them up.

  Now however, with just that bowl of wine, Zhong Yue had already opened 28 of them and the speed had stunned him greatly!

  “Worry not, there is no poison in the wine.”

  Zhong Yue continued absorbing the wine’s power and said, “Besides, I know he bore no ill intention and why he treated me. Let’s go.”

  Barely convinced, Yun Juanshu smirked and continue to have the fleet moving forward.

  Two days later, a gigantic planet made of bones blocked off their path and there was a massive bone palace on that planet. Within this bone palace was a throne and there was a corpse demon shrouded in rotting stench sitting on it while a black coffin lied on the ground.

  “Demon King Shi….”

  Yun Juanshu was caught off guard by this unpleasant surprise and he quickly whispered, “They said he was the corpse of a very powerful demon and it just won’t rot after the demon’s death even for a very long time. Then, being worshipped for more than hundreds of thousand years, spirit and soul was born in the corpse and thus, the birth of this monster…. Seems like this world is bound to be doomed as something so evil like him is also running amok now!”

  “Xian Tian Palace’s King Yi?” asked Demon King Shi with an eerily cold voice.

  Zhong Yue nodded, “Yes, it is I, King Yi. Greetings, Demon King Shi.”

  Demon King Shi got up from his throne and took out a jar of wine, filling up two cups and , “Ancestor Xue bragged about having the honor to drink with King Yi so I too, wish to have the honor to drink with King Yi!”

  Without giving a thought, Zhong Yue walked forward and Yun Juanshu once again, halted him and said, “Be careful! They might not poison the first cup but they will do it now!”

  Zhong Yue ignored him again, walked towards Demon King Shi and raised the cup, “Please, Demon King Shi.”

  “Please!”

  The two downed the wine in one sip and Zhong Yue shivered for a second before saying, “Excellent wine!”

  “How is it compared to Ancestor Xue’s?” asked the emotionless Demon King Shi.

  “Both are equally perfect!”

  Hearing Zhong Yue’s reply, Demon King Shi was very satisfied but he remained expressionlessly still. A few seconds later, Demon King Shi moved this bone planet away and his voice echoed around, “This wine is made from the water in the land of the dead in the same coffin where I was buried. After being worshipped for many years, the power of worship had condensed into this unrivaled water and all I managed to harvest and concoct was just this jar of wine.”

  Zhong Yue returned to the command warship, his body rumbled again and another four bones were cleared!

  Yun Juanshu had the fleet continued the journey and two days later, they were met with a carriage riding on prosperous clouds surrounded by divine ladies. In this carriage sat a very handsome looking, proud and diligent young god, who smiled, “Is this King Yi?”

  Zhong Yue stood up and bowed, “It is I. And you are?”

  “I’ve long forgotten my true name but my friends around call me Ye Tianzi.”

  That Ye Tianzi smiled, “I heard that Mister Yi is passing by so I specifically came here to have a drink with you.”

  Zhong Yue walked towards Ye Tianzi and the two sat down, had a drink, whose power cleared the final level of Zhong Yue’s 33 Heavens.

  Zhong Yue was surprised and he said, “Senior Martial Brother Ye, this wine….”

  “With my name now as Ye Tianzi. This wine is of course, an imperial wine.”

  Ye Tianzi smiled, waved at Zhong Yue and he left without a word.

  Yun Juanshu on the other hand, murmured, “He is definitely from a monarch race and very likely related to the previous generation’s Heaven Court. This man is probably Heavenly Monarch Tian Yuan’s heir!”

  Chapter 991: Looked Up To From The Dirts |

  Heavenly Monarch Tian Yuan’s crown prince?

  Zhong Yue was a little startled.

  It has been a long time since Heavenly Monarch Tian Yuan’s passing, but no one knew how he passed away. There were many rumors about his death, with some saying that he died of sickness, others saying he was murdered, or killed by the judgment of heaven.

  But the Tianyuan Clan was preserved and it was one of the 24 monarch races.

  If this Ye Tianzi really was Heavenly Monarch Tian Yuan’s son, what was he doing with these pirates?

  Zhong Yue and Yun Juanshu looked at each other and immediately figured that there was something going on behind the death of Heavenly Monarch Tian Yuan’s death.

  “King Yi, they’ve drinken with you three times. Maybe this fourth time will be the time they poison you!”

  Yun Juanshu’s eyes sparkled and he said, “If I were them, I would have poisoned you to death by the third drink!”

  Zhong Yue smiled, “I think there is some misunderstanding. They only came and drank with me because of an old friend of mine who felt guilty and ashamed of what was done to me previously.”

  “An old friend? Repaying with wines, is this a form of apology?”

  Yun Juanshu was surprised as he just couldn’t figure out why did this old friend was trying to seek forgiveness from Zhong Yue through these pirates.

  Not long later, a Creator halted them, requesting to drink with King Yi. Zhong Yue then gladly granted him his wish. The happy Creator then drank happily with Zhong Yue and they chatted jovially.

  Beside Yun Juanshu, a god suddenly said, “My lord, this is a great opportunity to kill him! Inform master about this. Have him send a Creator disguising as one of the pirates to poison King Yi or ambush him with numerous powerful men!”

  Yun Juanshu was a little attracted by this proposal and that god pressed on, “With King Yi removed, Heaven Suppression Fortress is literally in our hands!”

  However, Yun Juanshu still turned this idea down, “King Yi is not our enemy, we can’t do this to him. He….”

  Just like me, he is also a respectful man that is trying to secure a future and a place for the human race. Though he won’t be able to resist what fate has in place, he…..

  Yun Juanshu sighed, But what if he manages to resist it…

  At the same time, after having a drink with that Creator, Zhong Yue returned and started cultivating the [Yin Qiang Demon Conqueror Mystic Scripture], clearing over a hundred bones among the 365 snake tail’s bone, greatly easing his [Yin Qiang Demon Conqueror Mystic Scripture]’s cultivation.

  A few days later, Galactic Sea of Disorder’s monster gods came to drink with Zhong Yue and then the demon gods. Throughout the way, before they even exited the Galactic Sea of Disorder, Zhong Yue had already had more than 20 drinks with these pirates.

  Though they were here for a drink, it wasn’t necessarily wine but also some divine herbs. With every drink, Zhong Yue’s cultivation level would increase by a certain amount and the snake tail’s bones were being cleared one by one.

  After these drinks, Zhong Yue had already completed the [Yin Qiang Demon Conqueror Mystic Scripture]’s cultivation!

  Throughout the way, there were even more Creators that came drinking with Zhong Yue. Even with his True Deity body, Zhong Yue eventually ended up drunk.

  After they finally sailed out of the Galactic Sea of Disorder, Zhong Yue’s body was surging with the effects of the powerful wine he drank; even when he breathed, he would exhale condensed spiritual power and rain spiritual water.

  “Juanshu, after getting out of Galactic Sea of Disorder, you should be safe.”

  Zhong Yue smiled, “You and I are, after all, from different factions. I can’t escort you all the way to the one you serve, and you can’t follow me back to where I belong. Let us part ways now.”

  Yun Juanshu nodded and sighed, “King Yi, to be frank, I am more willing to be your friend. In the future, as much as I hate it, we will become enemies. I wonder if we could drink and chat like this anymore in the future.”

  “Come with me,” said Zhong Yue suddenly.

  Yun Juanshu’s heart thumped. He raised his head and stared into Zhong Yue’s zealous gaze as the latter smiled, “Come with me and together, we shall realize our dreams! What you wish for the human race is also what I wish for. We have no place in this universe. We are enslaved and tortured, we mustn’t remain divided anymore! Come with me!”

  Yun Juanshu’s eyes lit up as Zhong Yue spoke but suddenly, the sparks in his eyes vanished and he shook his head, “King Yi, you were an innate god in your previous life. Even if you are a human right now, I still can’t trust you.”

  “Then why don’t you look at me with your Six Paths Heavenly Eye? You have cultivated the Six Paths Heavenly Eye and obtained the Almanac of Six Paths, you are granted the ability to have a clear view of the previous and present life of a god, try me,” replied Zhong Yue without hesitation.

  Yun Juanshu’s eyes twitched; long ago, he already had the urge to take a look at Zhong Yue with his Six Paths Heavenly Eye but because of Zhong Yue’s position, he stopped himself from peeking at Zhong Yue.

  He feared that his actions would offend Zhong Yue and bring unnecessary troubles.

  But now, Zhong Yue had offered him this opportunity!

  Without a sign, an eye emerged on his forehead; he also had the divine third eye, but unlike Zhong Yue’s, there were six layers of ripple patterns.

  The divine third eye lit up brightly and its ripples spun quickly before launching a divine ray that shone upon Zhong Yue!

  As his vision landed onto Zhong Yue’s waist, the divine ray cleared through the fog, revealing the innate draconic scales at Zhong Yue’s waist that reflected the endless possibilities of this world and the slightest detailed information!

  These scales were analyzing the Daos in this world, and even reflecting his Six Paths Heavenly Eye!

  Yun Juanshu moved his vision, and looked at Zhong Yue’s legs. Under this Six Paths Heavenly Eye, Zhong Yue’s legs turned into the innate snake’s tail.

  This tail slithered and loomed between the void and reality as if there was nowhere that it couldn’t reach.

  His Six Paths Heavenly Eye shone on Zhong Yue’s chest, where a divine heart was thumping strongly; with each thump, Zhong Yue’s blood and energy boiled and supplied enormous power to his body!

  He saw the innate dragon bones in Zhong Yue, the 33 dragon like spine bones that hooked firmly onto his chest. As his vision moved along these 33 bones, he saw 33 strong Heavens and 33 more dragon slithering like images!

  Yun Juanshu then looked at Zhong Yue’s eyes, where there were a blazing sun and a moon hanging high up in the skies.

  At Zhong Yue’s forehead was a divine third eye that included everything in the vision, nothing was able to hide from it.

  Finally, Yun Juanshu closed his eyes, leaving only the Six Paths Heavenly Eye opened. He tried his best to look into Zhong Yue’s past, only to find nothing, not even anything about Li Yang.

  He is not Li Yang…. He is…

  Tears rolled down from his cheeks, fire raged within his chest and his blood was boiling hot.

  Fuxi.

  Thunder roared and wind howled in his heart. After a moment, Yun Juanshu closed his Six Paths Heavenly Eye. Opening his eyes, he gave Zhong Yue a b
right smile before waving at him.

  “You’re not coming with me?” asked Zhong Yue.

  “I will be able to provide more help if I stay here,” explained Yun Juanshu, “King Yi, you need someone that can buy time for you, an opponent to prolong the war of throne as much as possible. The longer the war continues, the more time you have. That is all I can do for you.”

  “When this war is over, will you help me then?” asked Zhong Yue with a smile after he staggered for a second.

  Yun Juanshu was surprised by this question and he said after a moment, “If you are still alive….”

  Zhong Yue nodded and continued, “If I do not die, will you help me?”

  Yun Juanshu stared right into Zhong Yue’s eyes and in a very serious manner, he said, “By then, my life will be yours!”

  Zhong Yue burst out laughing and gave him a tight hug. Yun Juanshu did not seem to be used to judging from his tensed movements. Seconds later, Zhong Yue let go of him and walked away with Hundun Yu.

  “Stop having thoughts about Tian Si!” messaged Yun Juanshu immediately!

  Zhong Yue stopped, turned around and waved, “She’s mine if you did not keep your promise.”

  Yun Juanshu bit his lips and watched as Zhong Yue left and disappeared from his vicinity.

  Fuxi…. He is that Fuxi!

  Yun Juanshu’s eyes lit up, his mind was all worked up like he experienced a cleansing of the unnecessary thoughts and emotions that were holding him back, He is that Fuxi that turned the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds upside down and that one that destroyed Tian Yi! That identity of his in the lower worlds is just a smokescreen he threw out!

  The excited Yun Juanshu did not know how Zhong Yue managed to pull this off but there was one thing he was very sure of, which was that the King Yi who stood beside him moments ago and that man from the Zhong Shan Clan in the lower worlds were one and the same!

  Everyone thought that Zhong Yue was still in the lower worlds, but who would’ve thought that the exalted Mister Yi who commanded 50,000,000 elite soldiers and Zhong Yue were in fact the same person?
