Rise of Humanity

  Yin Fanxuan immediately knocked Fu Li’s conscious back to him by playing her flute and the now conscious Fu Li immediately backed off while shouting, “Master, you have to make a banner for him that warns others not to get close to him.”

  Zhong Yue agreed to this suggestion deeply and immediately, he created a banner for Bi An with a few words that wrote, “Please stay away from me.” and had Bi An carrying it.

  With tiny arms, short legs and the banner, the little boy looked extremely dumb and cute at the same time.

  “Not intimidating enough.”

  Fu Li said after giving the banner a glance, “Cousin, change it to this, Stay away and face the consequences!”

  Bi An did so and Hundun Yu added, “Change it to, Or else!”

  After changing it, Fu Li read it again and he was unsatisfied, “Still not strong enough. Change it to — Get away from me or else!. That’s it, now it’s better.”

  After that, Fu Li nodded, “Now, no one will be brave enough to come close.”

  Zhong Yue on the other hand, felt speechless upon seeing the banner, These guys are really messing around. Anyway, it’s time to leave but the journey back might be dangerous…. Mo Yin had only used two of his four tactics, I wonder what will the remaining two be? If he is going to use the “simmer”, then it will be boiling the water with lower temperature, serve and enjoy after the dish is ready. If it was “”simmering”, why would he still inform me that Zhu Xie is sent to kill me?

  Zhong Yue hesitated for Mo Yin’s thinking was really weird, Whatever. Even if he is not after me, the journey back is still dangerous and I wonder if Imperial Emperor Xian Tian would help me or not.

  He thought for a second and he raised his head after figuring things out, He will definitely help me and not let me die on the way back because I am still useful to him for now. However, I can’t place all my hopes on him. I should be with father-in-law, leave through the Heavenly River, detour to Zhongyang Clan, Lilu Clan and leave the Imperial Star through borrowing their power.”

  Upon figured things out, he discussed it with Yin Fanxuan and just as he was about to head over to Yin Bokang, a calm voice sounded from the outside, “Is Mister Yi in?”

  Upon hearing this voice, Zhong Yue was a little puzzled for it was very familiar and the voice said again, “I am Mister Bi Luo, may I have the honor of taking some of your time, Mister Yi?”

  Right away, Zhong Yue’s goosebumps were all over!

  It was Mister Bi Luo!

  Mister Bi Luo who represents Heaven. What could’ve possibly brought him here?

  Chapter 964: Ancient Agreement |

  Is my cover blown? Did I leave behind traces in Bi Luo Palace?

  Could it be that he knows that I am the Fuxi and Zhong Yue?

  No! If he knew, he wouldn’t be here to visit me! If my identity is known, not even Imperial Emperor Xian Tian, Celestial Monarch Jin Wu, or Goddess Shen Hou would be able to save me! He must be here for another reason.

  Zhong Yue calmed down and sent Yin Fanxuan to look for Yin Fukang. he tidied his slightly messy clothes and walked out with Fu Li and Hundun Yu, “What a rare visitor, this way please, Mister Bi Luo!”

  Donned in a light green robe, Mister Bi Luo dressed very simple and they entered the hall together.

  Zhong Yue took a look at Heaven’s messenger and he immediately noticed that Mister Bi Luo was also a very handsome innate god but strangely enough, though he looked extremely handsome, it was very easy to forget how he looked like.

  His voice was also very odd; it was very charismatic and nice but after that, it was hard to remember.

  This was a very unique innate god for as Heaven’s representative, his voice and look no longer belonged to himself, but to Heaven.

  Heaven had no face and no voice, hence, no one remembered how Mister Bi Luo sounded and looked after meeting him. However, once they met him again, they still remembered that this person was Mister Bi Luo and that was the most unique characteristic.

  “May I ask your purpose here, Mister Bi Luo?” asked Zhong Yue after Fu Li served them both a cup of tea.

  Mister Bi Luo, however, looked towards the little boy Bi An and praised, “What a nice boy. Hundred lives reborn, reverting to innate, this is an art that turns a postnatal living being into an innate god. It is an art to unbinds one from the Six Paths Reincarnation. The son of the dragon and tiger is indeed extraordinary. You are Chuo Long’s fourth son?”

  Bi An nodded and asked, “You’re not going to eat me?”

  “Of course not.”

  Mister Bi Luo replied, “I’ve already passed the stage where I need to eat you to become a monarch. However, there is still a lot that needed to consume you to improve one step further. Your danger has just begun. I also know the creator of this art and perhaps, you will be able to see him in the future.”

  BI An’s eyes lit up and he asked, “Meet him in the future? He’s alive? He cultivated this art too?”

  Mister Bi Luo said calmly, “As a monarch, it’s not that easy for him to die. Besides, though he created the [Hundred Reincarnate Lives of Worldly Tribulations Scripture], he did not cultivate it because he was scared of dying as well.”

  Bi An was confused and Mister Bi Luo continued, “He is afraid of being eaten after reaching large success. He is waiting for the very first living being that cultivated the [Hundred Reincarnate Lives of Worldly Tribulations Scripture] to the peak. This monarch didn’t have altruistic intentions when creating the [Hundred Reincarnate Lives of Worldly Tribulations Scripture]. He created this art with the intention of reaping the fruit of the one who cultivates it to the peak. It was probably arranged by him that you obtained the [Hundred Reincarnate Lives of Worldly Tribulations Scripture]. He must have been keeping an eye on you for a very long time. Once, there are endless living beings that cultivated this [Hundred Reincarnate Lives of Worldly Tribulations Scripture] but you’re the only one that is close to succeeding as the others have passed away.”

  Zhong Yue’s heart thumped at the revelation. There was a monarch existence that was spying on Bi An and waited for him to reach maturity!

  To create such a “herb”, this existence had carried out endless experiments, secretly distributing the [Hundred Reincarnate Lives of Worldly Tribulations Scripture] to endless mortals. But they were all eaten before they were able to reach close to maturity.

  But now, Bi An was close to being ripe!

  This Dao Guardian responsibility….

  Zhong Yue suddenly felt the onset of a headache as he was beginning to regret his decision to become Bi An’s Dao Guardian!

  Bi An also felt a chill down his spine and he shiveringly asked, “Who is this monarch?”

  Mister Bi Luo, however, did not answer and he looked towards Zhong Yu, “Mister Yi is indeed impressive. Your capabilities had even amazed me during your battle against Zhu Xie. Being able to open the seventh secret realm. Mister Yi, you are definitely one of the kind.”

  “You’re flattering me.”

  Zhong Yue continued, “Zhu Xie is one of the many Bi Luo Palace’s innate gods but now, he lost his life in my hand. Are you here to kill me for that, Mister Bi Luo?”

  Mister Bi Luo shook and explained, “I’ve already announced that ever since they left Bi Luo Palace, they had nothing to do with us anymore. Don’t worry about me for who you should be worried about is the current Heavenly Monarch, Evil Monarch, and Imperial Emperor Xian Tian.”

  Zhong Yue’s eyes twitched and said softly, “Imperial Emperor Xian Tian? Why should I be worried about him? He is my lord.”

  Mister Bi Luo calmly rebutted, “You are smart, Mister Yi. You should know what I mean when I say that.”

  Zhong Yue remained silent and after a moment, he smiled, “So, your purpose here today, Mister Bi Luo?”

  This time, Mister Bi Luo said seriously, “No matter who becomes the Heavenly Monarch, he or she will be the Son of Heaven. Heaven cares little about who is the winner of the battle. But I am a little co
ncerned about it. This time, my Bi Luo Palace was destroyed and my property was stolen so I figured that it’d be best to have an obedient Heavenly Monarch. So, I am not fond of Imperial Emperor Xian Tian because of his strong background which would make him a less obedient Heavenly Monarch.”

  Zhong Yue’s heart thumped and he asked, “You mean….”

  “Yes, Heaven does not need a specific Son of Heaven, only one that is obedient.”

  Mister Bi Luo continued, “This Heaven Child must be talented, ambitious, and strong but without someone supporting him in the back and no background at the same time. In my eyes, you are the perfect candidate, and our Bi Luo Palace is willing to be your support.”

  Zhong Yue was intrigued and he asked, “Does Heaven know about this?”

  “No, Heaven pays no attention to such matters,” replied Mister Bi Luo, “It is our Bi Luo Palace that will support you, not Heaven.”

  Zhong Yue remained silent and he hesitated but he suddenly asked, “Mister Bi Luo, may I ask why you think I am capable of becoming the Heavenly Monarch?”

  “You can’t become the Heavenly Monarch because of your plain background. Only those with strong backgrounds like Imperial Emperor Xian Tian are qualified to compete for the throne. But because of their background, I find myself wary of them. If I support you, then you will gain that background, and thus, the qualifications to compete with them.”

  Mister Bi Luo said calmly as if he was talking about a puny affair that has nothing to do with him, “You should know how powerful I am. In the future, you can gather all the powers in the universe to help you perfect the seventh secret realm and contribute to a deed even more massive than creating the Six Paths Reincarnation after you became the Heavenly Monarch. However, without my help, you might not even be able to live long enough to see Imperial Emperor Xian Tian sit onto that throne.”

  With a gloomy expression, Zhong Yue took in a deep breath and asked, “What do I have to pay in exchange?”

  “Simple, our Bi Luo Palace is severed from the outside world, restricting us from interfering with the affairs of the outside world. This can’t be changed because it is a balance achieved between the hidden ancient existences and Heaven. Whenever we wanted to do something, we needed the Heavenly Monarch who has total control over all powers in the universe. However, if we can have an obedient Heavenly Monarch, then it would make our Bi Luo Palace the effective rulers of the universe.”

  “Then what’s the point of becoming the Heavenly Monarch?” questioned Zhong Yue with an unhappy tone.

  Mister Bi Luo glanced at him and said, “Being the Heavenly Monarch alone is already interesting enough, is it not? You have the potential to achieve in cultivating a perfect seventh secret realm and I hope that you would not put your talent to waste. Besides, wasting your talent is nothing when it comes to wasting your own life.”

  “Which means Mister Bi Luo did not intend to support only me?” Zhong Yue asked with a smile.

  Mister Bi Luo’s expression slightly darkened and he laughed, “Indeed. You can’t put all the eggs in a basket only. I wonder if you know the reason behind it, Mister Yi?”

  “I do.” replied Zhong Yue as he took a sip of the tea, “Mister Bi Luo has yet to drink the tea.”

  Mister Bi Luo looked at the cup in front of him and said calmly, “You should know that you are risking shattering all your eggs by placing all of them in Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s basket. I don’t think you have leverage for negotiation.”

  “But I also have no room for negotiations with Imperial Emperor Xian Tian,” sighed Zhong Yue as he said, “Please have a drink. Imperial Emperor Xian Tian is just outside the door.”

  Mister Bi Luo was slightly stunned and he finished the tea in one sip before walking out the door, where Imperial Emperor Xian Tian stood with his hands behind his back and his back facing at Mister Bi Luo.

  Just as Mister Bi Luo was about to walk past, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian said, “Please halt, Mister Bi Luo.”

  Mister Bi Luo stopped walking but Imperial Emperor Xian Tian did not look at him still and with an emotionless tone, he said, “I am here to warn you about the ancient agreement. Do not forget about the ancient agreement between my teacher, the few seniors and Heaven. Heaven had better not meddling where they shouldn’t. It is good that Bi Luo Palace remains outside the world’s affairs, but if you overextend your hand, you run the risk of having it severed.

  Mister Bi Luo looked towards Imperial Emperor Xian Tian and suddenly, light wheels emerged from the back of the Imperial Emperor with the seventh light wheel blinking and the Imperial Emperor said softly without turning back, “You thought I will be raising my guards against Mister Yi and that I will kill him after becoming the king but you are wrong. I admire and respect him, sees him as a friend and if he wants to become the Heavenly Monarch one day, I will give him the position …”

  Imperial Emperor Xian Tian finally turned back and looked right into Mister Bi Luo’s eyes as he said, “Because my goal is far beyond that throne. Do you understand? You are merely the messenger, not Heaven itself. So you had better know your place.”

  Mister Bi Luo looked right towards the seventh light wheel with slight shock and he left without saying anything.

  Zhong Yue on the other hand, walked out of the hall and greeted Imperial Emperor Xian Tian with a bow.

  Imperial Emperor Xian Tian then dispersed the light wheels behind him, stared at Zhong Yue and smiled, “Mister Yi, whatever I said just now to Bi Luo also applies to you.”

  Zhong Yue nodded, “Understood.”

  The Imperial Emperor then left.

  Zhong Yue then fell into silence as he thought, An agreement signed by the ancient existences? What kind of agreement is that and the content? What is the relationship between the agreement and the destruction of Fuxi Celestial Race?

  Just as Zhong Yue was about to summon Fu Li and Hundun Yu, Celestial Monarch Jin Wu’s voice sounded, “Yi Clan’s member, the dowry will be arriving at Heaven Suppression Fortress at no time!”

  Cold sweat fell from Zhong Yue’s forehead as he remembered that he has yet to tell Yin Fanxuan about his marriage with Jin Hexi!

  Chapter 965: Goddess Queen Monarch |

  It’d take some time until the dowry arrives in Heaven Suppression Fortress. After all, from the ancient universe’s Jinwu Clan’s sacred ground to Heaven Suppression Fortress was a very long way. It would take some time until everything is exposed…..

  Zhong Yue comforted himself, I should be able to win against my wife now. I am not scared of her! Yes, not scared at all…. What’s wrong with a man marrying a second wife? She can’t scare me anymore….

  However, in Zhong Yue’s heart, he was still kind of worried; the time he spent with Yin Fanxuan was the longest compared to the other ladies and throughout this time, they had a lot of competition between each other and Zhong Yue end up being defeated every time.

  To be frank, he was actually quite scared of his own wife.

  He loved her and respected her, but he was scared of her.

  Celestial Monarch Jin Wu left Zi Wei Heaven Court already. I must leave as soon as possible or I won’t be able to get away!

  Right away, Zhong Yue put his thoughts into action. He summoned his companions and met up with Yin Fukang. Throughout the way, the little boy Bi An had attracted a lot of attention with his little banner.

  Fortunately, nothing happened throughout the way and just as they were about to reach the North Heaven Palace, vermillion birds screeched, mysterious beasts danced as court ladies holding colorful banners walked out while other heavenly ladies played songs with various instruments.

  Then, from the ranks of the divine ladies, two carriages emerged with one being surrounded by Huaxu Celestial Race’s divine ladies and the other surrounded by Wuming Clan’s divine ladies. Among them was Wu Qingqing and another few male gods from the Wuming Clan.

  Goddess Shen Hou and Goddess Queen Monarch’s carriages?

  Zhong Yue was
surprised and stopped to give way to the carriages. This time, he constantly requested to meet with Goddess Shen Hou, but she avoided him every time, saying that she was visiting Goddess Queen Monarch. Zhong Yue was puzzled by this.

  He never thought that he would run into the two goddesses’ carriages.

  The two carriages passed through the streets and suddenly, the dragons and vermillion birds pulling the carriage stopped and the carriages halted beside Zhong Yue. Then, Goddess Shen Hou moved the curtain aside, revealing her beautiful face. She smiled, “I heard that Mister Yi has been requesting my audience. Is there anything that I can help with?”

  Zhong Yue bowed, “Goddess, there is a general serving me named Fu Li whose art was completely countered. His seventh spinal vertebrae became his weakness and as a human with the Huaxu Celestial Race’s bloodline, I wish to seek an art that could help him cultivate the seventh spinal vertebrae.”

  “So that’s how it is.”

  Goddess Shen Hou murmured, to which Zhong Yue bowed even lower.

  Just as Goddess Shen Hou was considering it, a gentle and beautiful voice was heard from the other carriage saying, “Goddess Shen Hou, since Mister Yi asked so sincerely, why don’t you just give him an art?”

  The window on the other carriage was opened, exposing an unreasonably pretty face. It was the Goddess Queen Monarch that Zhong Yue saw during the banquet and she smiled, “After all, Mister Yi is a human, his ancestor is the Fuxi Celestial Race, relatives of your Huaxu Celestial Race. Besides, Huaxu Celestial Race’s Nuwa are always married to the Fuxi Celestial Race and you too, once married someone of the Fuxi Celestial Race. Since you’re all relatives, why don’t you just give him?”

  The Wuming Clan was a monarch race and the Diming Clan was another monarch race that was created by Goddess Queen Monarch and Heavenly Monarch Di Ming. Through Goddess Queen Monarch’s fame and power, the Wuming Clan had expanded their territory by a great deal, pushing the other monarch races heavily and recruiting magnates from all the royal, celestial and demon races.
