All of a sudden, a woman rushed into the palace and said exuberantly, “Goddess, goddess! The baby’s out!”
“Bring the baby over,” Goddess Shen Hou smiled.
Then, the woman left and moments later, returned with a baby in her arms. Goddess Shen Hou took the baby over and saw the newborn still struggling to open the eyes.
Goddess Shen Hou raised her finger, there were six godly rays glaring in above it and she dipped her finger into the baby’s forehead. She smiled and asked, “Why aren’t you waking up?”
As the light of the Six Paths Reincarnation entered the baby’s forehead, the power of the Six Paths Reincarnations rushed into the baby and helped stabilizing the soul within.
The baby opened her eyes, she first started babbled, then speaking clearly a second later, “What? Why am I a girl? Goddess! Why am I a girl?”
“Reincarnating into the Huaxu Clan, of course you are a girl.” Goddess Shen Hou said happily and chortled, “The Huaxu Clan’s bloodline power is too strong, other than those like the Leizhe Clan, our children with the other clans are all girls.”
The baby opened her eyes wide and inflated her cheek while brewing anger within her.
Goddess Shen Hou laughed, “Don’t be angry, what’s so bad about being a Huaxu lady? The Huaxu are all pretty ladies, you will not be lacking of suitors.”
“Which is exactly what I am worried of!” The baby sighed, “If I knew nothing of my past life as a man, it will be perfectly fine. But I do know, and the fact that boys will like me… I can’t think of anything else more disgusting than this.”
“Well, you can like girls still.” Goddess Shen Hou joked.
Immediately, the baby gave a sneer and shut up.
Whereas Goddess Shen Hou continued, “Since you are now reincarnated, you shouldn’t use your past life’s identity anymore. I will give you a name, with the surname of Hua, you will be called Nuxi. Xi as it carries the meaning of future hope and the rarity of your past life innate god identity. What do you think?”
The baby mulled and sighed, “I guess so. My past life’s rival is too strong, if he finds out I am still alive, he will come after me. However, I intend to retain my own surname, Li, it shall still be. From now, I will be called Li Nuxi.”
Goddess Shen Hou nodded while the baby Li Nuxi said, “You’ve let the little Fuxi inherit my past life’s identity? Hehe, I am afraid that instead of helping him, you are just throwing him into a bigger danger! My rival is extraordinary, an innate god that hailed form the ancient universe. He is one of the many ancient innate demon gods! As the little Fuxi will now inherit my name, he shall also inherit my enemies. He will soon find himself being hunted by that innate demon god!”
Suddenly, Goddess Shen Hou laughed, “Just a mere innate demon god, how is he even a thing in front of the Fuxi Clan’s enemies? I guess he will be more than happy to know that he only has to deal with an innate demon god.”
The baby, Li Nuxi, went speechless.
…
In the Human Sovereign Palace, Zhong Yue cast out the Dao Imparting Innate Core and kept it into his psyche ocean, refining it and absorbing the innate Qi in it while attaining the innate Dao.
The Dao Imparting Innate Core was used by the ancient figures to pass down their heritage. As long as he could refine it all, he would be able to attain the Innate Sun God Li Yang’s past life knowledge and heritage. It was just that this Dao Imparting Innate Core was not left behind for that purpose, but for Li Yang to possess cultivators.
But now, the Dao Imparting Innate Core no longer had that danger.
Zhong Yue was able to refine it freely with no danger. Li Yang’s whole life’s attainments swarmed into his mind and turned into his.
The innate gods were the closest beings to the Dao, in addition to Li Yang being an Innate Sun God, his attainments in the Innate Yang Qi, Innate Sun Fire, and others were of much help to Zhong Yue.
But what caught Zhong Yue’s attention the most was the innate Dao contained in the Dao Imparting Innate Core!
This may be my first innate Dao that I cultivate! Zhong Yue calmed his mind and submerged himself into his most relaxed state. Goddess Shen Hou had delivered the Dao Imparting Innate Core at the most convenient time, it has helped him to solve all his problems.
“Brother Yiqi, I can stay now.” Zhong Yue smiled at Jiang Yiqi as he said.
Jiang Yiqi was puzzled, but at the same time, happy as well. He quickly replied, “It is good for you to be by my side and help me out, but if Imperial Emperor Xian Tian finds out your identity…”
“He can’t!” Zhong Yue shook his head. Now, he was confident that even the imperial emperor wouldn’t see through his Fuxi identity!
And after he manages to slip under the Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s nose, everything would be perfectly in place!
“Brother Yiqi, I need to go into seclusion. If Imperial Emperor Xian Tian sends his men, let me know and I will come out.” Zhong Yue walked deeper into the Human Sovereign Palace while refining the Dao Imparting Innate Core. Moments later, he reached to the deepest region of the Human Sovereign Palace and complicated totem patterns surged out from his forehead, attaching themselves onto the stone wall in front of him.
The totem patterns disappeared into the stone wall and seconds later, the stone wall split into halves, revealing a hidden passage behind it.
Zhong Yue walked through the hidden passage and reached a vast room. There were rows upon rows of bookshelves, extending endlessly into the dark!
The bookshelves were sky-high, each containing countless books, scrolls, and recordings on them; perhaps, more than enough to fill a few planets full of them!
This was one of the most valuable heritages that the Nong Sovereign had left behind for him—the Human Sovereign Library!
Zhong Yue walked forward for a long time and finally reached the center of the huge library. Here, there were no bookshelves nor anything else, what’s there were only little silk lines.
These silk lines were made from pure Yang and Yin lines. From the center, they scattered out all across out to the bookshelves in a chaotic manner, so messy that the sight alone could kill anyone obsessed with order.
The Yin and Yang lines numbered more than a billion, each containing numerous information in them that was nearly impossible to decrypt and understand.
Zhong Yue walked to the center of these silk lines and sat down in the lotus position. He raised his hand and slashed a long cut on his chest. When each blood droplet striking the ground, a Zhong Yue was formed; and the long cut created a million Zhong Yue at the least.
Then, the million Zhong Yue rushed to the bookshelves and started reading the books, scrolls, and recordings.
While Zhong Yue’s blood incarnations were reading the books, Zhong Yue himself could be seen surging out the Yang and Yin lines out of his forehead, forming them into silk lines and weaving them into the chaotic silk web.
“I’ve already read and understood the Heavenly Monarch’s and Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s life, and have made a plan for it. Now, it is time for me to tidy up the relations between the races, factions, and sacred lands.” Zhong Yue mumbled softly to himself.
He was casting the divinatory calculation technique, but this time, at a scale larger than ever!
His divinatory calculation technique was done by understanding the bigger picture, then extracting the tiniest details so predict the best possible future.
After the Nong Sovereign’s death, Lie Shan Clan’s Jiang Yiqi inherited the throne as the Yan Sovereign. Thus, Zhong Yue was given limitless access to the Human Sovereign Library that was left behind by the Yan Sovereign’s predecessor.
The library contained every single incident that occurred in the Zi Wei Galaxy, especially on the Heavenly Monarch and Imperial Emperor Xian Tian, having recorded of their habits, interest, actions, and reactions.
And this was precisely what Zhong Yue needed for his divinatory calculation technique. Back then, it was stil
l during the days where the human puppets were fighting for the throne of Human Sovereign. Zhong Yue spent a few months of time inside of the library, gathering the information he needed, hence the messy silk web that was left in the Human Sovereign Library.
It was a massive job to do. Nong Sovereign had been alive for 60 thousand years and spent 56 thousand years of here in the Zi Wei. In these 56 thousand years, he gathered and recorded more than a quadrillion incidents that took place in the Zi Wei Galaxy!
Whereas those related to the Heavenly Monarch and Imperial Emperor Xian Tian alone numbered over ten billion!
Those few months were the time he spent in extracting these incidents, analyzing them and turning them into a web of cause and effect that he used to trace the tiniest yet most crucial hint—Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s ambition to claim the throne of the Heavenly Monarch and the latter’s growing suspicion towards him!
After that came the incident of Jiang Yiqi kneeling outside of Xian Tian Palace asking for forgiveness and the many treasures from the human race that tore apart the relationship between Heavenly Monarch and Imperial Emperor Xian Tian.
One could say, this silk web in the Human Sovereign’s Library caused the outbreak of the two powerful factions!
If he could turn all of the information in the Human Sovereign Library and incorporate them into the silk web, Zhong Yue would hold the power to manipulate all of the races and factions in the Zi Wei Galaxy behind the curtains like marionettes.
However, the library was too huge for him to do it. Just the Heavenly Monarch and Imperial Emperor Xian Tian alone took him months to figure out. One could imagine how long it would take him to include all of the races, factions, and experts into the silk web.
What he wanted to include now, however, was just the relationship between the races and factions. This would allow him to provoke the forces in the dark, by leveraging their pre-existing enmities.
However, it was incredibly hard to do that as the relationship between these factions were everchanging. No matter how strong his divinatory calculation technique was, it was still beyond his abilities to include every fork down the road into the silk web.
“To control the fate of every race, faction, and individual in the Zi Wei Galaxy is impossible. Even the Heavenly Monarch doesn’t have the abundant psyche and intelligence to do it.” Xin Huo abruptly commented, “Brat Yue, it is just impossible! If anyone is able to do it, he would be invincible in the entire universe; which is impossible.”
Zhong Yue shook, “What I seek is not to control, but to provoke, to let the war between Heavenly Monarch and Imperial Emperor Xian Tian to burn higher and brighter.”
Hearing that, Xin Huo shuddered in cold, he thought, The previous inheritors were all honest and upright heroes, but Brat Yue now feels like he has a huge potential of becoming a shady mastermind in the dark. This brat said he will walk in between the light and the dark, now it seems like he really is doing just that… Well, well, this is much more exciting than all my previous inheritors! How fun!
Zhong Yue’s blood incarnations walked around the bookshelves, searching for the information he needed. Half a month later, there were over a million silk lines that were added into the silk web of cause and effect.
It was then that the Yan Sovereign Jiang Yiqi conducted his voice outside of the library and said, “The imperial emperor’s envoy has arrived.”
Zhong Yue stood up and the blood incarnations surged back into his chest and recovered the long cut. Then, Zhong Yue walked out of the Human Sovereign Library.
Chapter 799: Same Status |
Xian Tian Palace, there were many Heavens hovering around it. From afar, it looked like the Xian Tian Palace was surrounded by light bubbles. It was truly a spectacular scene,
Zhong Yue looked around and praised, he counted a total of 18 Heavens around the Xian Tian Palace, they were all lively and rich in resources.
The Heavens were worlds created by the ancient and powerful presences. Each Heaven was a small universe itself and it also had the Six Paths Reincarnations; thus, the living beings in the Heavens could reincarnate into the Heavens as well.
As the living beings in the Heavens only reincarnate in the Heavens itself, it prohibited the possibility of outsiders reincarnating into the Heavens. Thus, stopping the Heavens from getting shattered within.
Not only that, but the Heavens were also a source of power to those in control of them. Usually, the living beings in the Heavens would only worship the Heavens’ owner. One could imagine how strong the power of worship would be to have the Heavens collectively worship to one entity!
The power of worship had many uses, one of which was to strengthen the Yuan Shen and boost the cultivation base, allowing one to breakthrough to a higher level.
The humans only have one Heavens, it was created by the Nong Sovereign and in it, there was no Six Paths Reincarnations. The continuation of human race was only sustained through natural reproduction.
When Nong Sovereign first came to the Zi Wei Galaxy, the human race was in their darkest time. They were the lowliest existences, enslaved by countless and taken as bipedal livestock. Human lives weren’t considered lives, but merely as capital for others.
It was the Nong Sovereign that tirelessly worked for that slim chance of survival for the human race, he talked to the factions’ leaders and through hard efforts, gained their supports and reached an agreement.
Only then did the human race gain some freedoms and be considered as their own race.
However, the price they had to pay was steep, and that price was the Nong Sovereign’s freedom. In exchange for the human race’s freedom and honor, he was taken hostage into the Zi Wei Galaxy.
After that, the Nong Sovereign created the human race’s Heavens. However, as he wasn’t in the level of the ancient and powerful presences, the Heavens he was able to create was flawed. It didn’t have the Six Paths Reincarnations and thus, the humans in the Heavens couldn’t be reincarnated.
On the other hand, the Heavens of the Xian Tian Palace were all created by powerful experts. They were huge and vast like a mini universe, they contain abundances of resources, complete Six Paths Reincarnations, and the most ideal living conditions.
The Heavens like these were the sacred lands to the cultivators, whether it be to cultivate or simply reside in.
The Nong Sovereign had spent his life trying to create the Six Paths Reincarnations in our human’s Heavens, and the Yan Sovereign is even weaker than the Nong Sovereign. It will be a tall order to ask him to achieve what even his predecessor couldn’t achieve.
Zhong Yue thought and calmed himself, he followed the envoy into the Xian Tian Palace. Immediately, waves of godly auras rushed into his senses and he saw many strong and powerful presences sitting inside of the palace. They were shrouded by godly rays that revolved around them.
The Xian Tian Palace was huge and entry was restricted to Creators and Imperial Emperors.
Zhong Yue glanced around and spotted Imperial Emperor Xian Tian sitting on the throne with a few other Creators sitting below him, including Xi Zhiyan. They were most probably Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s Creator disciples.
Other than them, there were some others sitting a level below Imperial Emperor Xian Tian, these would be the rulers of the 18 Heavens. Some of them were Creators and some were stronger, at the level of Imperial Emperor!
However, King Zi Guang didn’t have a seat, he was standing beside Imperial Emperor Xian Tian.
Other than that, there were another six others were sitting on the same level as Imperial Emperor Xian Tian. Their faces were covered in the godly rays so their identities remained a mystery. However, one thing that was certain was they were allies with the Imperial Emperor Xian Tian.
Other than that, there were the leaders of races sitting a level below. Their identities were also clouded, Zhong Yue couldn’t tell who they were.
Zhong Yue bowed, he said, “Senior Martial Brother Xian Tian, senior martial b
rothers.”
The imperial emperors returned the formality and Imperial Emperor Xian Tian glared a pair of sharp eyes, he said, “Mister Yi, please be seated.”
A futon appeared out of thin air and Zhong Yue sat on it. He was seated at the same level as the Imperial Emperors.
Imperial Emperor Xian Tian looked at Zhong Yue and said politely, “I’ve heard from Zi Guang, Mister Yi is a reincarnated innate god. But mister, I have yet to know your origin, may you answer it?”
Zhong Yue hesitated, whereas King Zi Guang smiled, “Mister Yi, be rest assured. Those that are present are all His Highness’s greatest allies. No one will spread a word.”
“Well, it’s not that I don’t trust anyone.” Zhong Yue smiled, “But I have an enemy, he is the cause of my reincarnation. Before the current Heavenly Monarch, I was already here. I came from the ancient universe, born within a sun, and have seen the rise and fall of three Heavenly Monarchs. I have been through the great war and seen the universe plunged into darkness. From then to now, I am already 200 thousand years old.”
Imperial Emperor Xian Tian was shocked, he grew even more polite, he said, “I didn’t know you were this old, an Innate Sun God of the Earth Order Era, even older than me. May I ask of your name, mister?”
“Please, spare the politeness.” Zhong Yue smiled, “My name is Li Yang. My rival ambushed me while I was in closed-door training, forcing me to reincarnate myself. But little did I see myself becoming a human.”
Imperial Emperor Xian Tian mulled, he laughed, “So it’s Li Yang. I’ve heard of your name, but never got the chance to meet you. In the great war, the innate gods suffered a great loss. It is fortunate that mister is able to survive.”
“Shame.” Zhong Yue sighed, “I was an innate god, one that was born from the worship of countless living beings. Their worships were the one that created me, but also the exact same thing that restricted my cultivation. During the war, I knew I wasn’t good enough for it, so I hid in fear of death. But, he… ambushed me. What a shame, from an innate who knows no time, I am now turned into a timebound prenate.”
