Rise of Humanity

  The Pan Suxin patted her chest in relief and said, “So close! Seems like we got lucky! Little Zhong, you are right in following me!”

  Yet, a divine general approached, “Hey, you two….”

  Pa—-

  With a slap, Feng Xiaozhong slapped the general’s senses out of him, Pan Suxin’s heart raised to her throat and she let out a breath seeing this, “So fast, little Zhong!”

  For a second, Feng Xiaozhong lost his mind under this warm smile and the happy memories he cherished rose.

  In the next second, Feng Xiaozhong’s gaze turned devilish and fierce, his hands raised as he mumbled, “You are after all, not her! You are not her!”

  “Hurry up!” waved Pan Suxin as she walked away.

  The killing intent in his eyes vanished under this wave and he obediently followed behind Pan Suxin as she whispered, “I see the gates now! I’m so nervous right now! We are almost out of here! Make sure you follow behind me closely or you’ll be captured by the demon king King Yi again!”

  Feng Xiaozhong nodded, “We will leave whenever you are ready!”

  The duo waited for some time until Zhong Yue had the patrols shifting shifts and the two escaped through the loopholes created by the shift changing.

  Feng Xiaozhong turned around upon feeling a gaze locking on him and he saw Zhong Yue waving back at him at a corner.

  He gave Zhong Yue a complicated glance and he turned away with Pan Suxin seconds later.

  As for Pan Suxin, she was shivering under the excitement and disbelief of them getting out, “We actually got out! We escaped from the infamous King Yi’s soldiers! Little Zhong, you really are my lucky star!”

  This time, Feng Xiaozhong smiled again but his smile was much more sincere, “Where are you planning to go? Back to Panhu Clan?”

  Pan Suxin was caught off guard by this question and she shook her head, “Panhu Clan? I can’t return and there is no other way for them to accept me anymore. Clan master did not hesitate to sacrifice me in order to capture King Yi, if it weren’t for King Yi, I would be dead by now… Little Zhong, the Imperial Star is where the main war is, too chaotic and too cold-blooded for us. Let’s leave this place and together, we will find a peaceful place far away from war.”

  “Wherever you go, I will follow.” replied Feng Xiaozhong.

  And the two left.

  In the fortress, Zhong Yue watched as they left, Yin Fanxuan joined Zhong Yue and she suddenly said, “An ending like theirs is not bad, at least to me.”

  Zhong Yue nodded, wrapped his arms around her and said, “I suppose, you and I will be like that one day.”

  Yin Fanxuan smiled, “Darling, why do you think Senior Martial Brother Feng will go with her? What if he is as cold-blooded as I thought?”

  Zhong Yue rebutted with a shook, “Senior Martial Brother Feng is not someone to be judged with common logic. He is one that pours all his efforts and spirit into Daos, if he is so in love with Daos, then he will be extremely loyal to love as well. Pan Suxin will help Senior Martial Brother Feng find his love again. And because of that, he cannot kill her.”

  “And why do you think that the lady will love him back?” asked Yin Fanxuan again.

  “Senior Martial Brother Feng is not a good person, but he has his own charms. I’m not too worried about that.”

  Yin Fanxuan hesitated, “So… does he thinks that she is Pan Suxin or his wife? Can he differentiate it?”

  Zhong Yue too, was confused at this question and he smiled back, “Once Senior Martial Brother Feng finds his love again, his son will be the one that should be worried! Xiao Wuji, if you dare to show yourself in front of me again, I will realize my promise to you!”

  In the Dating Clan located in the Imperial Star, Xiao Wuji, who was visiting the clan, suddenly trembled under a mysterious coldness, Huh? Why am I feeling so uneasy all of a sudden?

  “Elder Luo, you may have little to no affair to this common world but you are still an elder of the Dating Clan. Now that the clan is losing, how can you sit out of this?”

  Feng Wuji cast aside his uneasiness and said towards an innate god with horns, “Now, the Dating Clan is tied to the Heaven Court. As someone from the Bi Luo Palace, you should be out there, Elder Luo.”

  The elder, however, shook and said, “Mister Bi Luo only sent us out to see more of this world for ourselves, not to meddle with common affairs. We are here to purify our hearts. We are not interested in your affairs.”

  Feng Wuji rolled his eyes and said, “Elder Luo, do you remember King Yi who disguised as me and acquired the ways of immortality from you without you knowing his true identity? Back then, he promised to spare you and you were extremely furious about it, now that King Yi is just out there, you decide to chicken out instead?”

  Hearing this, Elder Luo’s eyes twitched and he said, “Fine, I will come with you and meet King Yi myself!”

  Happiness struck Feng Wuji right away and he bowed, “To be honest, I am here under His Majesty’s order, with the token bestowed by His Majesty, I am to persuade the Bohuang Clan. Wuhuai Clan, Shuilong Clan into joining us in this fight. Elder Luo, why don’t you come with me, to the Wuhuai Clan and Shuilong Clan I know that there are your senior martial brothers over there as well. Besides, with only me, I’m afraid that I can’t persuade them!”

  “Alright, I will come with you to convince them and by then, we will see the differences between us and King Yi!”

  The happy Feng Xiaozhong added, “There are already the Signs of Nine-Five in our Panhu Clan’s State of Heavenly River, with your aid, our strength will only multiply!”

  Chapter 1106: Erupting The Imperial Star's Situation |

  Feng Wuji and Elder Luo traveled to the Bohuang Clan together. The Bohuang Clan had two innate gods. Elder Luo had a reputation in the Bi Luo Palace and got along well with everyone. In addition to the fact that he’d helped the two innate gods before, they were both convinced by Elder Luo.

  Thus, the two innate gods pulled in hundreds of Deity Emperors and Creators from the Bohuang Clan to help as well.

  Then, they traveled to the Wuhuai Clan and acquired their help. At that time, there were already six innate gods in the expedition.

  After that, they went to the Shuilong Clan, where Feng Wuji gathered ten innate gods and a few hundred Deity Emperors and Creators.

  Lastly, they arrived at the Wuming Clan. As a clan related to the Heavenly Monarch through marriage, they didn’t refuse to lend their help. At the end of the journey, Feng Wuji managed to bring together 16 innate gods and 800 Deity Emperors and Creators as they headed toward the State of Heavenly Rivers.

  Mo Yin didn’t dare to put on airs and personally welcomed them with the generals.

  “Mister Wuji alone is as priceless as a billion soldiers!” Mo Yin praised.

  Feng Wuji laughed complacently, “Stop flattering me, Mister Mo. Wuji has no other notable abilities other than some little respects from the other races.”

  Rays flashed across Mo Yin’s eyes as he whispered, “Mister Wuji, His Majesty wasn’t very satisfied with you due to Princess Wenyue’s incident…”

  Feng Wuji’s heart stiffened up and he put up a smiling yet not smiling face, “Mister Mo was defeated before the Heaven Breaching Fortress and left behind billions of corpses. Was His Majesty dissatisfied with your performance?”

  Mo Yin replied, “I’ve taken down Purple City and claimed the lives of many of the Xian Tian Palace. My merits have offset my wrongs. Not only did His Majesty not punish me, but His Majesty even reinforced my armies.”

  Feng Wuji said, “I’ve brought together many gods with me, together with the Bohuang Clan, Wuhuai Clan, Shuilong Clan, and Wuming Clan. This is also a meritorious deed. His Majesty’s wisdom will still value Wuji despite the faults I have made.”

  The two exchanged a look and laughed happily together.

  Then, Mo Yin stopped laughing and said solemnly, “Until now I was still thinking, which faction is Mister Wuji from exactly. Please tel
l me, Mister Wuji.”

  Feng Wuji was smiling, “Of course I belong to His Majesty’s faction. Then, which faction is Mister Mo from?”

  The two exchanged a look and laughed again.

  “What are you two laughing about?” Consort Tian Si walked toward them while chuckling, “Mind telling me so that I can join in the fun as well?”

  Mo Yin smiled. “We were discussing which faction Mister Wuji is from. Come to think of it, consort, although I’ve known you for some time already, I still don’t know which faction you serve.”

  Consort Tian Si winked, she answered in a serious tone, “It is, of course, His Majesty that I serve.”

  …

  In the Heaven Breaching Fortress, the scouts came back to report.

  “Lord, Panhu Clan’s Xiao Wuji has garnered support from the Bohuang Clan, Wuhuai Clan, Shuilong Clan, and Wuming Clan. He had gathered 800 Deity Emperors and Creators, and 16 innate gods. They are now heading toward the State of Heavenly River.”

  Zhong Yue was curious, he said while smiling, “Xiao Wuji is out of his cave again? How surprising, he seems to be able to get along well with everyone everywhere. But he doesn’t serve the Heavenly Monarch, why is he offering his help? Something’s fishy is going on here about him. Then there’s this Consort Tian Si, another Feng Wuji whose loyalty lies in someone else who isn’t the Heavenly Monarch. I wonder when will they turn their backs on the Heavenly Monarch.”

  Tai Feng said, “King Yi, Xiao Wuji has many cards in his hands, he is not to be underestimated.”

  Zhong Yue replied, “Senior martial brother, worry not, I’ve never underestimated him. I didn’t before nor will I ever. If it weren’t for his presence, it’d be a long and arduous task for our Heaven Breaching Fortress to take down the Heaven Court. But now that he is here, the Heaven Court’s defeat has been destined. Yan Sovereign, can you deliver a letter to King Zi Guang for me?”

  Jiang Yiqi stepped forth, he answered, “Your wish is my command.”

  Then, Zhong Yue drafted a letter and handed it to Jiang Yiqi.

  Jiang Yiqi was an Imperial Emperor. In his Zhu Long dragon form, his speed was incredible. In less than three months, he had arrived in the Xian Tian Palace and delivered Zhong Yue’s letter into King Zi Guang’s hands.

  King Zi Guang opened the letter and read:

  “You and I both embrace the same status as kings. Now, I am invincible, having killed billions of enemies and brought our forces to Heaven Court’s doorstep. My reputation is as high as the firmament. There are times that I can’t help but think, you stood as a king yet have achieved nothing since the war. I heard that you have the power to bring chaos to the Imperial Star, but I’ve never seen you do it before. But nevermind that, when I finally bring peace to the universe, I will be sure to give you the honor of serving under me as my servant.”

  King Zi Guang was angered, he tore the letter into pieces and scolded, “Traitorous Yi! How dare you! He said I did nothing at all and wants me to be his servant! How dare he look down on me! I will go to the Imperial Star and break the stalemate!”

  Jiang Yiqi comforted on the side, “Zi Guang, King Yi is only trying to spur you to the Imperial Star by making negative remarks of you. If you fall for it, what will become of the homebase?”

  King Zi Guang smiled, “Senior martial brother, do you think I don’t know his intentions? Little did you know, King Yi is now at the Imperial Star’s doorstep. As long as he doesn’t make a move, the Xian Tian Palace’s homebase will be safe and sound. Only when he’s made a move to attack the Imperial Star and Heaven Court will the other forces sneak in and raise chaos to the Xian Tian Palace’s homebase. But because he said 30 years of no attack, our Xian Tian Palace will have 30 years of peace. It’s fine even if I went to the Imperial Star now.”

  Jiang Yiqi was still worried, “The Imperial Star is filled with many forces, can you protect yourself?”

  King Zi Guang summoned Di Xiuluo and replied, “With Di Xiuluo by my side, I will be fine. I will now make a move to the Imperial Star and make the chaos even worse! Di Xiuluo, let’s go!”

  Then, Di Xiuluo and King Zi Guang left, leaving Jiang Yiqi in shock, This Di Xiuluo is really strong. I’ve cultivated the [Zhu Long Heavenly Mystic Art], renowned for its incredible speed, but I still can’t catch up to them!

  Jiang Yiqi returned to the Heaven Breaching Fortress. Before he entered the fortress, he was looking at the Imperial Star from far and was startled.

  There, two monarch spirits were engaged in a battle. There were countless gods that were worshipping and spirits of the Imperial Emperors, Creators, and Deity Emperors were descending from the Void World. The spirits were summoned into the battlefield.

  Then, there was a monarch weapon in the form of a book, its pages were flipping as it was battling another divine weapon. The other divine weapon was in the form of a chessboard. The chess pieces were huge like stars, every move they made would unleash a strong and powerful blast of power!

  “Why is the Jinti Clan and Bohuang Clan fighting each other?”

  Jiang Yiqi recognized the divine weapons. The book was Bohuang Clan’s Book of Bo Huang and the chessboard was Jinti Clan’s Round Sky Square Earth Chessboard. Whereas the monarch spirits were Bohuang Clan’s Monarch Bo Huang and Jinti Clan’s Monarch Jin Ti. The two monarch spirits were fighting each other as if they were archenemies without holding back at all!

  It wasn’t a simple outbreak of battle but an all-out war. The two monarch races used their trump cards and were hell-bent on annihilating the other race. Even the spirits of the two races in the Void World were summoned to join the war!

  One must know, the strongest trump cards of the monarch races weren’t the Deity Emperors, Creators or Imperial Emperors, but all of those in the present and past. Even after the death of these experts, they were still able to slumber in the Void World and continue existing through constant worship.

  If it wasn’t for something like an extermination crisis, even the war for the throne wouldn’t be able to justify all of them descending from the Void World!

  But what was happening now was exactly an extermination crisis between the two monarch races!

  “What happened?”

  Jiang Yiqi was in shock, he walked into the fortress and reported back to Zhong Yue. Meanwhile, Zhong Yue was also observing the war of the two monarch races. He was praising, “King Zi Guang really lives up to his name as a Mister. His strategy is like the butterfly’s wings of a butterfly effect. His intelligence is somewhat similar to Consort Tian Si’s Art of Karma yet differs from it. Strange, what cultivation does he practice exactly?”

  Jiang Yiqi was puzzled, “Why did the two monarch races suddenly break out into a war this ferocious?”

  Zhong Yue ran his calculations and shook, “I don’t know. I can’t derive what King Zi Guang has done to make the two monarch races like this. If I ask him, he will not tell me. But he will definitely tell you if it’s you who asked.”

  Jiang Yiqi replied, “I don’t know where is he now.”

  “On his way to our Heaven Breaching Fortress.” Zhong Yue smiled.

  Jiang Yiqi glanced around but see no sight of King Zi Guang. After a long time, only he saw King Zi Guang and Di Xiuluo slowly strolling toward the Heaven Breaching Fortress.

  Jiang Yiqi quickly went forward to welcome them. The two were conversing happily as they entered the fortress together. Then, King Zi Guang saw Zhong Yue and he smirked coldly, “King Yi, what do you think now?”

  Zhong Yue smiled, “It’s only two monarch races, you don’t seem to be worthy of your title as a Mister.”

  King Zi Guang replied while smiling, “Only two monarch races? You’ve underestimated me. Look at the Imperial Star again in another dozen days. By then, it won’t just be the war of two monarch races anymore. A true advisor wins a war by strategies, his wisdom alone can win a war and bring peace to the universe. Only a barbarian has to charge at the forefront of the frontline and fight in the battlef
ield.”

  Zhong Yue laughed, “But a certain true advisor had lost billions of his soldiers and trapped in the Heaven Breaching Fortress, only to be saved when the barbarian came charging in to save his hide.”

  King Zi Guang’s eyes flared out in anger while Jiang Yiqi quickly stepped in with a smile. “Please, gentlemen, don’t let the others see you two as fools arguing in front of everyone’s faces.”

  King Zi Guang smiled, “If he didn’t make all these negative remarks about me, I won’t give a damn of what he does. Yiqi, come, let’s go drink. We need not give our attention to a mere barbarian.”

  Jiang Yiqi was puzzled, “You’ve raised the war between the Jinti Clan and Bohuang Clan, but what about the other monarch races? The Imperial Star’s situation is not chaotic enough yet.”

  King Zi Guang was smiling, “You pull a single hair and the whole body moves with it. The relationships between the races in the Imperial Star are complicated. I only need to do a small thing and that will be enough to erupt the whole situation in the Imperial Star. I won’t need to do anything extra and the races will war against each other on their own. Even when there are races that intend to stay out of it will be dragged into the turmoils by the other races around.”

  “You only did one thing and the races will war on their own?” Jiang Yiqi was shocked, he asked puzzlingly, “What did you do?”

  King Zi Guang glanced over Zhong Yue, he smiled, “Let’s not let the barbarian know. You and I will go drink while we watch the Imperial Star tumble into chaos on its own.”

  Two days had passed since and the Shuilong Clan stepped into the war. They sent out their monarch weapon, summoned their spirits from the Void World and joined forces with the Bohuang Clan against the Jinti Clan.

  Immediately, extermination was at Jinti Clan’s doorstep. Left with no choice, the Jinti Clan delivered their saint lady to the Zunlu Clan overnight. The Zunlu Clan’s clan master long had his eyes on the Jinti Clan’s saint lady. Right after he was given the saint lady, the Zunlu Clan has allied with the JInti Clan and sent out reinforcements to aid them in the war.
