Rise of Humanity

by <unknown>

  Goddess Shen Hou giggled, “Little Girl Feng Yan, you must be kidding me. We may have an ancient alliance with the Fuxi Celestial Race but it died along with the extinction of Fuxi Celestial Race. Whereas for the human, how can they possibly be compared to we Huaxu Celestial Race?”

  Goddess Queen Monarch smiled, “Goddess, don’t forget that there are 8,000 Fuxi Celestial Race under Mister Yi’s lead and that rumors had it that he too, had unsealed the Fuxi bloodline in him. You are all relatives.”

  Goddess Shen Hou laughed coldly right away, “They are all nothing but fake Fuxi. Besides, Fuxi Celestial Race are rebels. Our Huaxu Celestial Race will no longer have any association with them, let alone this fake Fuxi! Mister Yi! I can not grant you what you request!”

  With a disappointed expression, Zhong Yue stood down and stepped aside.

  Goddess Queen Monarch giggled upon this scene, “How cold.”

  Goddess Shen Hou smiled coldly, “What’s the point of begging me? Why don’t they cultivate themselves? It’s not like they don’t have any arts that could achieve the same effect! Let’s go!”

  The carriages started moving again and disappeared into the streets.

  Behind the carriages, somewhere among the groups, a voice sounded, “It’s been a long time, Mister Yi.”

  Zhong Yue flinched slightly and when he turned around, he saw Feng Wuji nodding to him with a smile on top of a beast.

  “Mister Wuji.”

  Zhong Yue replied with a smile, “May I ask why is Mister Wuji behind Goddess Queen Monarch’s carriage?”

  Feng Wuji did not answer and he said, “They said there are two Fuxi disguised as Goddess Queen Monarch’s court ladies, sneaked into Bi Luo Palace and stole something. Under Goddess Queen Monarch’s order, I came to investigate this matter. Have you seen the two Fuxi?”

  “No. If Mister Wuji find these Fuxi, I’d be very interested to have a look at them.”

  Feng Wuji laughed happily and said, “This Fuxi is a disgusting one for disguising as a lady. Don’t worry, Mister Yi. I will let you know once I catch them.”

  Zhong Yue nodded with a warm smile, “Great! Then I shall excuse myself now. See you, Mister Yi.”

  “Goodbye! Have a safe journey back!” replied Feng Wuji as he rode away.

  After Feng Wuji disappeared from his vision, Zhong Yue inhaled deeply and said, “Let’s go!”

  While he looked expressionless on the outside, but his heart was experiencing great waves; Feng Wuji had been serving an existence that was trying to steal the throne by disrupting the order in this world, Bi Xie and Consort Tian Si were also serving the same lord. Under this lord’s will, they had instigated chaos in the Zi Wei Galaxy, and started a never-ending war in the ancient universe that affected even the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds!

  And now, judging by how it looked, Feng Wuji seemed to be a trusted servant of Goddess Queen Monarch. Could it be that Consort Tian Si, Bi Xie, and Feng Wuji were all serving Goddess Queen Monarch?

  The monarch existence that wanted the throne, had Heavenly Monarch Di Ming isolated by his people was actually Goddess Queen Monarch?

  Judging from Consort Tian Si’s words, the one she is serving should be a man but Goddess Queen Monarch is obviously a lady so it shouldn’t be her… Wait, disguising as a man is not difficult at all to monarch level existences. She is, after all, the Heavenly Monarch’s wife, which makes it inappropriate for her to show herself to the public frequently. Disguising as a man, however, made this possible….

  Though Zhong Yue also wanted the world to be in chaos, the ones that stirred chaos were Consort Tian Si, Bi Xie and if the person behind the scene was Goddess Queen Monarch, then she was the source of all chaos!

  But if it’s her, then she is really scary….

  Zhong Yue shivered slightly as Goddess Queen Monarch was very like a monarch herself!

  She was the eight contenders of the throne and with her identity as Goddess Queen Monarch, she definitely has a very scary power in the Heaven Court.

  She had every condition to develop her own force and there might have been a lot among the officials in the Heaven Court that turned to her!

  Her power in the Heaven Court was definitely not weaker than the Heavenly Monarch’s!

  A power even stronger than the Xian Tian Palace!

  Zhong Yue took in a deep breath and thought, When the Heaven Court and Xian Tian Palace battled each other to death, both sides will be weakened greatly and who will be able to stop Goddess Queen Monarch? Besides, she seems to be trying to pull Goddess Shen Hou to her side and have the entire Huaxu Celestial Race to help her! How smart!

  “Master.”

  Fu Li hesitated, “About my seventh spinal vertebrae….”

  Zhong Yue smiled, “Goddess Shen Hou had already given me an answer. There are arts in the Fuxi heritage that could cultivate the seventh spinal vertebrae so we do not need the Huaxu Celestial Race’s art anymore.”

  Fu Li’s eyes lit up right away, only to be put down by Zhong Yue as he said, “But I do not have such arts with me. In order to cultivate your seventh spinal vertebrae to a point where there are no more weaknesses, you have to first cultivate the Fuxi Clan Monarch Da Yao’s [Thirty-three Layers Heavens Da Yao Scripture], or Lady Monarch Yin Qiang’s [Yin Qiang Demon Conqueror Mystic Scripture], which I do not have.”

  The disappointment in Fu Li intensified and Zhong Yue added, “But, perhaps I can get my hands onto these two arts.”

  He thought, Senior Martial Brother Feng should have dissected Feng Qingyu and extracted the 17 Fuxi Celestial Race’s monarch level arts by now? I hope that he wouldn’t be distracted by other things….

  Ever since capturing him, Zhong Yue had handed over Feng Qingyu who has the 17 Fuxi Celestial Race’s monarch level arts to Feng Xiaozhong for research purposes.

  Among 17 Fuxi Celestial Race’s monarch level arts, [Thirty-three Layers Heavens Da Yao Scripture] and [Yin Qiang Demon Conqueror Mystic Scripture] were one of them and they were both used against Zhong Yue; though not as perfect as Zhu Xie’s and incomplete with the Six Paths Reincarnation, they should be sufficient to cover the weaknesses in Fu Li’s seventh spinal vertebrae.

  However, with the celestial dragon’s Dao skeleton, the innate Dao language, and Chuo Long attracting Feng Xiaozhong’s attention, he had spent only a limited time on Feng Qingyu.

  Hence, it was unknown how many secrets were extracted out from Feng Qingyu.

  Not long later, they arrived at the North Heaven Palace, where Yin Fanxuan, Yin Fukang, and their clan members were already waiting for them. The Yin Kang Clan had decided to travel on the water back to the State of Heavenly River, thus, they did not pass South Heaven Gate as they sailed straight into their territory.

  Yin Fukang then saw the little boy Bi An who was carrying a banner with him and with a degree of surprise in him, he laughed, “This brat looks so arrogant!”

  Bi An rolled his eyes on this comment and he warned, “Don’t come close to me!”

  Yin Fukang then smirked as he walked towards Bi An, “Then I have to walk closer to you if you said so….”

  “Father, please keep your distance!” shouted Yin Fanxuan right away.

  Yin Fukang stopped hurriedly and the confused old man thought, is something wrong with it? Bah, if daughter said so, then I will stay away….

  They then arrived at Heavenly Ship Dock, where their fleet of ships docked, boarded the ships and the fleet departed.

  This journey will not be a safe journey.

  Zhong Yue thought with a gloomy expression as the fleet sailed on the Heavenly River.

  Chapter 966: Invincible Navy Fleet |

  The Yinkang Clan’s fleet split the waves apart as they sailed back to their clan on the Heavenly River. The upper course of the river belonged to the Heavenly River Navy Fleet’s domain; in every thousand miles, there would be a huge army camp and a dock surrounded by countless warships.

  Throughout the journey, camps were everywhere and the sold
iers were practicing hard; their ships sailed at lightning speed as they engaged in a training battle.

  “Halt, King Yi!”

  A warship sailed towards them and the commander of Heavenly River Navy Fleet, Lou Zhengshi stood on the bow. When the ships came close, Lou Zhengshi greeted, “King Yi, Zhengshi had benefited a lot after hearing your lecture about the seventh secret realm. I really admire your generosity. As such, I’ve excused myself from my duty for a moment to have a drink with you.”

  The divine generals then set up a bridge between the two ships before Lou Zhengshi headed to the center of the bridge while several gods holding wine followed behind. Zhong Yue then walked forward as well and Yin Fukang as well as Fu Li quickly followed behind him.

  Behind Lou Zhenghi, the gods served them a cup of wine, which was then accepted by Zhong Yue and Lou Zhenghi.

  “To King Yi.”

  Lou Zhengshi raised the cup and before he drank it all, he said, “After this drink, King Yi will not be my friend anymore and because of my duty, I will not have mercy on you if we ever fight on two different sides.”

  Zhong Yue drank the wine, handed the cup back to the gods and replied seriously, “Understood. Thank you for this fine wine. Take care.”

  “You too.”

  With one final glance exchange, the two returned to the ship and as the ships parted, Lou Zhengshi bowed at Zhong Yue far away, to which Zhong Yue bowed back.

  “Father-in-law, please be prepared. Imperial Emperor Lou Zhengshi might attack anytime,” said Zhong Yue after the Yinkang Clan’s fleet sailed away.

  Yin Fukang immediately had the fleet to raise the guards up and when Fu Li turned around, instead of the Heavenly River Navy Fleet’s massive and grand warships, he saw many Mengchong Warships, each with a thousand paddles that torn the calmness in the water, sailing away with relentless speed like ferocious dragons.

  Yin Fukang let out a relieved sigh and said, “Lou Zhengshi had come with the Mengchong Warships instead of the Louchuan Warships. It seems like the Heaven Court is not planning to go to war with Xian Tian Palace yet since the army Lou Zhengshi brought this time is not that strong.”

  Zhong Yue, however, disagreed, “Father-in-law, if you really think so, then we will all be dead. Though Heaven Court has yet to start the war, they can still start it anytime.

  Yin Fanxuan nodded, “If they could strike down Xian Tian Palace’s King Yi, sever a trusted and reliable vassal of Imperial Emperor Xian Tian, then what is wrong with starting a war right now? Father, if we are not careful enough, we might all die here.”

  Yin Fukang burst out laughing hearting the two comments and he said proudly, “Die here? Daughter, you’ve underestimated we Yinkang Clan’s navy! Men, full sail, roll the wheels and prepare for combat!”

  The gods in the fleet immediately lowered the sails, while another hundred of them rolled the wheels, spinning them quickly; there were a total of four wheels, two at each side of the ship.

  As the wheels spun, they added more power and greatly heightened the speed of the ships massively!

  With incredible speed, the fleet sailed even quicker, but as warships designed for sneak attacks, the Mengchong Warships were much quicker.

  On the Mengchong Warships, with the thousand paddles, they split the water apart and chased after the Yinkang Clan’s fleet with a speed faster than flying.

  However, Yin Fukang did not feel uneasy at all and he laughed, “Son, the Heavenly River Navy Fleet is undefeatable. It is hard to find another navy on par with them. They possess various warships and on the water, no one could win against them but only us, the Yinkang Clan is the only race that can rival them. After Heavenly Monarch Tian Yuan sealed our bloodline, trapped us in the State of Heavenly River for years but this morphed us into a race that lived with the water. This is also the reason why Imperial Emperor Xian Tian kept on trying to recruit us.”

  Zhong Yue’s eyes lit up, “Father-in-law, you mean that you have already arranged the Yinkang Clan’s navy to escort us?”

  Yin Fukang nodded, “As the clan master, I have to take care of everything. Before I left from our clan, I’ve already had them stationed here to escort us, and to ambush the Heavenly River Naval Fleet!”

  Zhong Yue praised silently. Those who were able to become the clan master were all talented in their own ways; Yin Fukang had always behaved like a child, speaking in a foul manner and loving to brag. In truth, his frivolous facade was so that he would not be taken seriously, which was undoubtedly an advantage.

  But can the Yinkang Clan’s navy rival the Heavenly River Naval Fleet?

  Zhong Yue was a little worried.

  “While you are talking on the Martial Saint Stage, I’ve already notified the elders in the clan to station the navy here.”

  Yin Fukang said, “They should be here by now.”

  Fu Li frowned, “Then where are they? I don’t see anything.”

  Right now, as they stood at the bow, they had a clear vision onto everything ahead; the Heavenly River was extremely vast and as the waves toppled onto each other, stars enlarged and descended onto the air luminously.

  On the surface of the river, there was not even a tiny ship, let alone a massive fleet that could rival the Heavenly River Naval Fleet.

  The State of Heavenly River located right in the Heavenly River above Zi Wei Imperial Star, somewhere not far away from the Heaven Court and they should have been here by now. However, everyone felt uneasy when the Yinkang Clan’s naval was nowhere in sight.

  “They are here,” confirmed Yin Fukang calmly.

  “Halt!”

  He suddenly raised his hand and ordered, “Drop the anchors! Let them witness the might of our Yinkang Clan’s naval!”

  The banner officers waved the flags, giving out complicated flag codes and the Louchuan Warships stopped right away in the middle of the river.

  Yin Fukang then smiled, “Son, take a look at the Yinkang Clan’s naval might.”

  Zhong Yue looked around and just as he was puzzled after seeing no ships still, he suddenly realized something and he was shaking when he looked right into the water beneath them.

  Hundun Yu, Fu Li, and the others also looked towards the bottom and they were all surprised.

  Under the water, one after another massive warship traveled swiftly and charged towards the Mengchong Warships.

  These were the Yinkang Clan’s warships. Outside of these ships, there was a half-sphere that covered the ships’ deck, which blocked off the water and the Yinkang Clan’s gods were all standing up straight on the deck.

  They all wore black armor, and in their hands were dangerous divine weapons that made no noise at all.

  Impressive!

  Zhong Yue praised in his heart.

  One after another, these warships sailed underneath the water and the Mengchong Warships were also sailing forward in hight speed without knowing what was about to happen.

  Hong long—

  The river surface exploded as the massive warships emerged, knocking the Mengchong Warships up, and even splitting them in half.

  Countless gods immediately fell right into the water, which was the Star Water that contained endless stary and metamagnet rays as well as various universe lasers. When they all fell into the water, they were all grinded into pieces before they could even let out a scream.

  At the same time, cannons were fired. Hundreds after hundreds of cannons unleashed hell onto the Mengchong Warships, evaporating the Heavenly River Naval Fleet. Not even top graded armor donned onto the gods could withstand a strike.

  After the rammings and cannon firings, the spheres on the Yinkang Clan’s warships faded while the Yinkang Clan’s gods hurled chain hooks, immobilizing the Mengchong Warships and the Yinkang gods set up bridges before they charged towards their enemies!

  The reason behind why they had to set up bridges was because of the abnormally powerful metamagnetic force in the Heavenly River that prevented anyone from flying; if someone tried to fly, he would
be dragged into and swallowed by the river by the metamagnetic force.

  These bridges were all specially forged divine weapons to resist the dangers coming from the Heavenly River.

  Due to the distance, Zhong Yue could not hear any noises but he could see the figures engaged in battles and the blood slattering everywhere!

  More and more Yinkang Clan’s warships emerged from the water and the outcome was decided since the start. In order to catch up to Zhong Yue and the others, Lou Zhengshi’s force traveled using the Mengchong Warships, which were all very tiny compared to Louchuan Warships.

  Soon, the Mengchong Warships sank, devouring the Heavenly River. There were a dozen of them there were captured and they surrendered quickly.

  Lou Zhenghis is more than this, he surely wouldn’t let me win that easily.

  However, Yin Fukang was a little restless and he squinted as he looked towards the far.

  Far away from the other side, one after another Louchuan warship appeared and they could only be seen vaguely given how far they were.

  And as an Imperial Emperor, if he couldn’t see clearly, then neither could the others.

  Don’t even think of catching up with us now that the distance is so far.

  Yin Fukang let out a relieved breath and said, “Once they catch up with us, we are probably already in the State of Heavenly River. Lou Zhengshi may be powerful in the Heavenly River but things are different in the State of Heavenly River.”

  Zhong Yue suddenly opened his divine third eye, looked towards the newly appeared fleet and he could vaguely see muscular gods pushing huge eggs into the river. As the eggs fell into the water, they opened up and disappeared without a sign.

  He then asked Yin Fukang about that, which had Yin Fukang’s expression changed drastically while shouting, “Incoming! The Heavenly River Naval Fleet has unleashed the Star Beasts! Raise the defensive cloak right away!”

  The banner officers immediately gave out the flag codes, and the banner officers from the other warships quickly did the same and passed the order to the other warships.
