Rise of Humanity

by <unknown>

  Consort Tian Si was stunned, she understood.

  Fuxi could help the humans, but the humans can’t place all their hopes on the Fuxi.

  “Tian Si, he will break his promise even after you helped him gets the throne; because not even him, but none can fulfill it. The Heavenly Monarch is just the Son of Heaven, how can he grant the humans a future?”

  Zhong Yue’s voice grew softer in her ears as he left, he sneered frigidly, “He is just using you, he doesn’t have the strength to help the humans.”

  Consort Tian Si stood emotionlessly on the ground, it took her a long time to recollect her thoughts. And when she returned to find Celestial Emperor Fei Yan, Zhong Yue and his Deity Emperors have already left. She gave a long sigh.

  Huh? Where is the Karmic Line Mister Yi gave me? All of a sudden, Consort Tian Si was shocked when she realized that the Karmic Line had gone missing.

  Mister Yi kept back the Karmic Line! But if he is in Zi Wei, it’s impossible for him to retrieve it. Could it be, he is also here in the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds and is near the Yong Ming Six Paths World? Impossible, impossible, he can’t possibly be near here!

  Totem patterns waltzed on her fingertips as she concocted Zhong Yue’s Karmic Line. She ran calculations on him and found him nowhere close to the Yong Ming Six Paths World.

  If Mister Yi is not here, how did he retrieve the Karmic Line…?

  Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind; as a result, her heart thumped uncontrollably and her body trembled violently, she quickly shook her head and thought, Impossible, impossible. They can’t be the same person…

  Chapter 883: Flipping Table |

  I suppose Consort Tian Si will understand what I meant. She knows what she should know.

  Zhong Yue’s previous body, Gu Yue, left the exiled galaxy with the many kings, he thought, I told her not to bet everything on me, herself or her husband. The humans can not suffer any more drastic changes. Be it them, me or the Yan Sovereign, anyone’s failure will be a critical hit to the human race. However, I must admit that this husband and wife are incredible, if they could help me….

  Zhong Yue shook and discarded his idea for at the time being, he did not require talents like Consort Tian Si because he is the pain in everybody’s eyes right now. His current situation rendered him unsuitable to build his own base and he would only put Consort Tian Si’s talent to waste by having her serve him.

  With the 100 gods from the Wei Shen Six Paths World that he freed from the Hell, he did not have the assets to begin a conquest.

  Sometime later, they arrived at the Heaven Realm in Yong Ming Six Paths World and changed their appearances. They descended onto the main continent and entered a sacred mountain, where they were welcomed by some other gods.

  “Master!” greeted the gods.

  “Bring me the scrolls,” ordered Zhong Yue.

  After the scrolls were presented, Zhong Yue browsed through them quickly and in just a few moments, he had gone through the scrolls entirely.

  These scrolls recorded the details of all the imprisoned gods within the Abyss in Yong Ming Six Paths World, which included their names, cultivation level, crimes they committed and why they were jailed.

  Zhong Yue then started going through the details to select useful talents among the prisoners; he excluded the devilish, cold-blooded and sinful ones for he needed a powerful and good quality army that he could use for war!

  Previously, when he was hunted by the many 3,000 Six Paths Worlds powerful individuals under the lead of the messenger sent by Zi Wei Heaven Court, denying him every chance he had to recruit powerful individuals to serve him. Now, however, with Consort Tian Si’s arrival and her about to rain chaos onto the 3,000 Six Paths World, Zhong Yue finally had the chance he wanted!

  He did not have the chance to do so back then because 3,000 Six Paths Worlds were under Heavenly Monarch Di Ming’s ruling, unified under his lead; if Zhong Yue actually intruded on the Abyss to free the powerful prisoners there, he would attract the ire of the Realm Lords and Realm Monarchs of all 3,000 Six Paths World, making himself a huge target and placing himself in grave danger.

  But now, with the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds about to be plunged into chaos, he could disrupt the order in 3,000 Six Paths Worlds’ Hell, and absorb more talents into his powerbase. When the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds was going to deal with him, Consort Tian Si and Bi Xie would have also just ignited the flames of war in time to create chaos in 3,000 Six Paths World!

  With that, the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds would have no time to deal with him!

  And the reason why this chance was hard to come was that with the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds at war with each other, the many Realm Monarchs and Realm Lords would attempt to release the prisoners to increase their strength and cover the shortage of manpower.

  As that happens, with his prior knowledge and first-hand information, Zhong Yue could recruit quite a few worthy ones beforehand.

  He had been preparing for more than a hundred years; in every Six Paths World he had inserted spies to obtain the details of those imprisoned within the Abyss.

  And his current body was holding high power in Zi Wei, his previous body was disrupting peace in 3,000 Six Paths Worlds!

  And now, it’s time for the flames of war to be ignited!

  Zhong Yue opened his eyes, stood up rapidly and his voice rumbled.

  “Gentlemen, let’s have a visit to Hell!”

  As the Bi Xie Rhinos roared, extravagant carriage appeared and Monster Emperor Yuan Qi and the others boarded it and they laughed, “It is time already!”

  Finally, Zhong Yue boarded the carriage and with an explosion, the carriage breached through the dimension and entered Hell!

  The messier the situation gets, the safer I am in Zi Wei! Now, all I gotta do is mess up Hell first!

  At the same time, Zhong Yue’s current body was still in Mister Yi’s disguise. He entered Xian Tian Palace with Mu Suge where Imperial Emperor Xian Tian and King Zi Guang quietly listened to Mu Suge’s report on their journey in ancient universe.

  Zhong Yue remained silent while Mu Suge continued his report.

  Upon hearing Mu Suge report how he was kidnapped by the human, Fu Li, King Zi Guang’s pupil shrunk but he remained silent. When Mu Suge talked about how Zhong Yue talked to humans to surrender, King Zi Guang’s eyes twitched but he held himself back and said nothing.

  Mu Suge then talked about how Yanshi Xi was killed by Zhong Yue through a series of well-planned attacks and when Wu Dulang came at them hostilely, how Zhong Yue used Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s skill within Mu Suge’s psyche ocean against Wu Dulang and even Imperial Emperor Xian Tian couldn’t help but praise their exhilarating adventure.

  And when Mu Suge told them about how Wu Dulang chased them all the way to the Ninth Divine City only to suffer another round of heavy injuries, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian stood up and laughed, “Mister Yi is indeed one of my best men! Throughout this dangerous journey, not only did you keep my son safe, you even managed to convince a large power like the wild humans to surrender, impressive!”

  Zhong Yue bowed right away, “This is all because of you, Your Majesty. Without your blessings, whether or not both of us would make it back remains a question.”

  King Zi Guang however, humphed and rebutted, “But there are some questionable areas that you did not explain. If you don’t mind, Mister Yi?”

  “Oh? Senior Martial Brother Zi Guang, if you were in my shoes, could you pull it off any better than I did?”

  “It was questionable because you pulled it off so perfectly! That’s why!”

  King Zi Guang stood up and said, “Putting everything aside, throughout your disappearance in these three years, no one knows where were you, why don’t you tell us?”

  Zhong Yue explained, “Star Torrent Fortress wanders around the universe. They will wander into both celestial and demon territories, making it difficult to find them.”

  “And them selling Fu Shu to Wu Dulang? Isn’t th
is quite a coincidence? Wu Dulang killed Fu Shu, cutting off every possibility to ally with us. It’s very unconvincing if there is no ill intent behind all of this!”

  Zhong Yue was enraged. He slammed the table and furiously said, “You little brat Zi Guang! If you’re going to do this, then don’t blame me!”

  King Zi Guang’s expression froze on his face but that did not stop Zhong Yue from continuing, “I dare you to tell me the reason why Fu Shu was on a mission to ancient universe! Did Fu Shu really go into the ancient universe to look for Wu Dulang? This was all your plan! You foul creature! You are jealous of my talent so you convinced His Majesty to give into your evil plots against me! You wanted me and the prince dead!”

  King Zi Guang lost his words at this extreme rage while Imperial Emperor Xian Tian awkwardly said, “About this….”

  “That’s enough, Your Majesty! Wu Dulang is my arch nemesis. He destroyed my innate god’s body and now, this man here is trying to harm me through Wu Dulang!”

  Zhong Yues face flushed and he gritted his teeth as he said, “It has been a few ten years ever since Fu Shu was caught by the humans, sold to and eaten by Wu Dulang. How is any of that related to me? This brat here is clearly hostile to me, he has been trying to make things difficult to me and now, he even tried to blame Fu Su’s death on me! I will no longer work with him under the same court from now on!”

  On the other side, King Zi Guang’s face flushed as well and he argued back, “I won’t deny that I was the one behind this! You’ve been behaving like a loyal servant but deep down I know you are not one so I wanted to threaten you with Wu Dulang to prevent you from betraying the Imperial Emperor! You definitely saw through my plans so you purposely had Wu Dulang kill Fu Su and pursued the prince so that the Imperial Emperor could not recruit Wu Dulang!”

  Zhong Yue shouted back, “Wu Dulang killing Fu Shu has nothing to do with me but him pursuing the prince and I was my doing! I had someone report our position to him because I wanted to spoil your plan!”

  King Zi Guang was enraged and he roared, “And you call yourself a loyal servant? You almost killed the prince!”

  Mu Suge was completely stunned by this revelation.

  No wonder Yanshi Xi and Wu Dulang always manage to locate us that easily….

  He was suspected of something but he never thought it was Zhong Yue.

  “Did I kill him?”

  “I killed Yanshi Xi, heavily injured Wu Dulang, these are all massive credits! You are just jealous of me!”

  King Zi Guang rebutted right away, “How many times and how much do you think I’ve contributed for the Imperial Emperor? Is there even a need for me to be jealous of you? You talked the wild humans into accepting the amnesty just like that. Even that affair is questionable….”

  Zhong Yue was no longer able to hold back anymore; he plunged forward and punched King Zi Guang right away while King Zi Guang retaliated with a kick which sent Zhong Yue flying away.

  Imperial Emperor Xian Tian immediately stopped Zi Guang and he gave him a smile, “You are a Creator and I’m afraid that you will kill my Left King Yi with another kick! Zi Guang, calm down, calm down …”

  Zhong Yue, however, grabbed onto King Zi Guang’s hair and gave him another punch, which Ki Zi Guang shouted, “Imperial Emperor, you are being one sided now!”

  Mu Suge immediately hugged onto Zhong Yue and dragged him away from King Zi Guang and calmed him down, “Mister, calm down. You are losing your temper and this will impact your image….”

  Zhong Yue replied angrily, “Let go of me, Your Highness! I want to hack this fool!”

  Imperial Emperor Xian Tian laughed and said, “Both of you are my left and right arm, there is no need for such a heated argument. Now, cool yourselves down and have a seat.”

  Zhong Yue forced himself to suppress his anger and at the same time as King Zi Guang, he sat down and when the two met eyes, they quickly looked away.

  Imperial Emperor Xian Tian then started a new topic, “About the humans….”

  “Imperial Emperor, they are nothing but rebellious beings! They sold the prince’s men away and traitor Yi is to be blamed for that!”

  Zhong Yue’s anger consumed him again and just as he charged towards King Zi Guang, King Zi Guang unsheathed his sword and shouted, “Do you think I’m afraid of you? Come and have your death under my sword!”

  Chapter 884: Appointment |

  Seeing how Imperial Emperor Xian Tian handed the responsibilities of this matter to Zhong Yue, the still angry King Zi Guang immediately interfered, “My emperor, I suspect something fishy is going on! Things are just not as good as they seemed since this traitor Yi managed to talk the wild humans to surrender in just a few words!”

  And Zhong Yue rebutted without hesitation, “Just be honest with yourself! Admit that you are not as capable as me and you are jealous of my talent, fearing that I will replace you so you decided to frame me!”

  “Traitor! How dare you besmirch my reputation!”

  King Zi Guang immediately hacked his sword towards Zhong Yue, which Imperial Emperor Xian Tian blocked it off and said, ‘King Yi, you should calm down as well. I will write the edict soon for you.”

  Zhong Yue, however, was unwilling to let this matter go, “This brat Zi Guang is really taking advantage on me! Your Majesty, please seize him and relieve him of his head off!”

  King Zi Guang shouted back, “If you’re so good, fight me!”

  “Give me more time and I will squeeze you like an ant!”

  Imperial Emperor Xian Tian immediately felt difficult, hence, he split them apart before saying, “Zi Guang, what you did was a little excessive as well. No matter what King Yi did, he still rendered great merits. Wu Dulang destroyed his previous life and eradicated his people so I am fine with him indulging in his personal vengeance. Besides, without shedding blood, I was able to gain the support of the wild humans, which is more than fantastic! If you still dwell in this matter, I will really get angry.”

  King Zi Guang humphed and the Imperial Emperor turned around and said seriously, “King Yi, you might have contributed but at the same time, you have your own tiny little plans. Because of your own personal affairs, you almost killed my son and I assume what Zi Guang said is partly true. What if you can’t win against Yanshi Xi and Wu Dulang?”

  “That is my fault, please forgive me, Your Majesty.” bowed Zhong Yue.

  “Not to mention that in this trip, my son lost 200,000 Tiger Jiao Cavalry, which is also your responsibility.”

  Mu Suge immediately explained, “Father, Mister told me to leave them behind but it was I that insisted on bringing them with me. If it weren’t for Mister Yi, I’m afraid I will lose the entire Tiger Jiao Cavalry. This can’t be blamed onto Mister Yi, it should be me.”

  Imperial Emperor Xian Tian immediately said, “Of course you are at fault. Mister Yi is the military advisor and you did not listen to his advice. This will go into the book but as the military advisor, Mister Yi is also at fault for the loss. However, this does not negate your contributions. King Yi, you and Zi Guang are my left and right arm so please stop arguing.”

  Zhong Yue and King Zi Guang nodded.

  Mu Suge then said, “Both are Misters, both served the same emperor and worked at the same court. I propose a truce between both of you, how about a handshake?”

  “I’m afraid of dirtying my hand.”

  “Same.”

  Mu Suge and Imperial Emperor Xian Tian were both speechless upon hearing their replies.”

  Imperial Emperor Xian Tian then put everything aside and started writing the edict, gave out the order and offered an amnesty to the humans in ancient universe officially, sparring them from their crimes and allowed them to enter Zi Wei Galaxy’s Human Sovereign Palace and placed them under Zhong Yue’s command.

  “The mission will now be handed over to you now, King Yi.” said Imperial Emperor Xian Tian as he gave the edict to Zhong Yue, which he nodded and asked, “Your Majesty, their messenger
is just out there, do you want to see him?”

  Imperial Emperor Xian Tian nodded and Fu Li was summoned, who dare not speak anything extra and behaved properly before Imperial Emperor Xian Tian. Then, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian had Fu Li leave the palace before telling him, “Behave and serve my Left King Yi well. You will not be mistreated after my conquest succeeded in the future.”

  Fu Li nodded and left.

  Imperial Emperor Xian Tian then said, “King Yi, I will be depending on you on this matter. Throughout your absence, chaos has descended onto the entire Zi Wei Galaxy but fortunately, the Heaven Court and Xian Tian Palace are still in order. The Heavenly Monarch refuses to suppress the chaos because he did not want his powerbase to suffer any damage. It seems like a good plan but in the long run, everyone supporting him will slowly lose faith in him.”

  “He definitely has some backup plan or he wouldn’t be that cool right now.”

  Imperial Emperor Xian Tian clapped and praised, “Brilliant. The Heavenly Monarch does have his own plans. About two years ago, our spies managed to dig out some information; Ghost Master Gui Youming headed to the ancient universe and he might have gone to find my senior martial uncle. This elderly and my teacher belongs to the same generation so I too, have to address him as my senior martial uncle. He is incredibly strong and he is only slightly weaker than my teacher. He was birthed from the condensed evil Qi of this universe. The place he was born is a very evil place in the ancient universe called the Valley of Evil. This senior martial uncle of mine has already earned himself the title of Innate Evil Monarch back in ancient times.”
