Rise of Humanity

by <unknown>

  When, when, when… When will we humans be able to honor the great ones of the Fuxi Celestial Race like that?

  Zhong Yue looked at the boats carrying the green lanterns slowly glided far away in the Heavenly River, held Yin Fanxuan’s hand tightly and thought, This day will come! It will definitely arrive one day! Ancestors and honorable spirits of the Fuxi Celestial Race must be watching over us still….

  This scene had triggered off something in Zhong Yue’s mind; it was not only about how the Yinkang Clan’s traditions taught the young generations not to forget about their ancestors, but also about the importance of unity.

  This scene really made the humans look bad in comparison!

  Just look at what they were praying and worshipping?

  The so-called almighty invaders!

  The humans should’ve been praying and worshipping their ancestors, not the gods of other races, the gods that invaded, conquered and enslaved them!

  Humans will never be slaves! Nevermore!

  The next day, the scouts returned and reported no movements from the Heavenly River Navy Fleet and Panhu Clan apart from setting up camps and some training.

  As for the second, third, fourth and fifth day, there was still no movement.

  However, on the sixth day, the other fleets of the Heavenly River Naval Fleet arrived, and even more warships showed up as camps were set up.

  “It doesn’t matter how many men they have, they will not cheat death if they attack us!”

  Yin Fukang laughed, “Our Yinkang Clan’s warriors are not vegetarians. Even if the entire Heavenly River Naval Fleet is here, they will still not be the monarch weapon’s match. Son, you should return to the Heaven Suppression Fortress now. Remember, it is a very important place. If you need anything from us, all you need to do is ask!”

  Feeling that something was wrong, Zhong Yue frowned while Yin Fukang had someone prepare a ship for them. As everyone boarded the ship, Zhong Yue boarded it as well and the ship sailed out from the State of Heavenly River before heading straight to the Imperial Star.

  Suddenly, their ship passed by a scout’s boat, which had him halt the scout and ask, “Anything in the Panhu Clan’s State?”

  The scout reported, “A boat with a young man onboard entered the state and he was welcomed by Lou Zhengshi and the higher-ups from Panhu Clan.”

  Young man?

  Lights flickered in Zhong Yue’s eyes and he asked again, “What does he look like?”

  The scout immediately visualized the young man’s appearance and Zhong Yue immediately shouted, “Fu Li! Turned back, back into the State of Heavenly River!”

  Though confused, Fu Li still did as Zhong Yue commanded while Zhong Yue continued thinking, Feng Wuji… That man the scout saw is Feng Wuji! Lou Zhengshi and Panhu Clan must be trying to have him to talk the unworldly world’s Fuxi Celestial Race into helping them! If they agree to help, Yinkang Clan will not be able to hold them off!

  The ship returned quickly and Yin Fukang who was still around the dock was surprised and he asked, “What’s going on? Why did you come back?”

  “To assist you in moving to a new home, father-in-law!”

  Zhong Yue leaped down from the ship and said hurriedly, “Things are going sideways now! They are going to have the Fuxi Celestial Race help them now! You can’t hold them off anymore!”

  The startled Yin Fukang exclaimed, “Fuxi Celestial Race? Those guys from the unworldly world? But they can’t come out, the unworldly world is sealed….”

  “They can. Have you forgotten about Feng Qingyu?” said Zhong Yue with a cold smirk.

  Yin Fukang’s expression changed right away, “Among the unworldly world Fuxi Celestial Race, there are reborn monarchs. If they attacked us….”

  And Zhong Yue interrupted with a determined tone, “So everyone from the Yinkang Clan has to evacuate and head to the Heaven Suppression Fortress!”

  “The entire clan?”

  Yin Fukang hesitated for quite some time and he immediately summoned the elders, telling them about this, to which they also became hesitant.

  But such was the nature of all living beings, they would often be slightly unwilling to leave the place they were born and raised. Though the State of Heavenly River had a very harsh environment, it was their home nonetheless.

  “We have to go or we will be annihilated!”

  Yin Fukang grit his teeth, “Let’s just move the entire State of Heavenly River with us! I will pray to the ancestors’ spirits, and with the addition of the monarch cauldron, we will be able to move the entire state!”

  The elders staggered for a second before they all cheered, “Alright, let’s do it! Let’s move the entire state into Heaven Suppression Fortress!”

  Zhong Yue too, had a scare as he thought, Praying to the ancestors’ spirits? Is father-in-law going to have the ancestors’ spirits descend into the realm?

  Yinkang Clan became a monarch race because there was a Yinkang demon monarch born in the era of their ancestors; though he lost to Heavenly Monarch Tian Yuan and ended up being suppressed here, his spirit still managed to enter the Void Realm to enjoy the worships of his descendants.

  Hence, whenever there was a serious matter like moving an entire race to another place, they could summon his spirits to activate the Heaven Suppression River Cauldron to pull the entire State of Heavenly River up and move it away!

  Moving the entire State of Heavenly River was definitely a huge endeavor!

  But this is not a bad idea. If the entire Yinkang Clan’s State of Heavenly River were in the Heaven Suppression Fortress, the fortress’ power would be increased massively. With their naval power, it would be difficult to breach the Heaven Suppression Fortress!

  Zhong Yue thought, The problem now lies on the Heavenly River Naval Fleet and Panhu Clan. Will they sit still as the Yinkang Clan moves everything away?

  After a decision was made, Yin Fukang and the many elders immediately summoned their people and announced the decision. The Yinkang Clan then made haste, lighting up the altars. Every Yinkang Clan’s member surrounded the altars as they all prayed to reach their voice to the spirits!

  In the many Heavens within the Yinkang Clan, there were countless members; apart from the three greater Heavens offered as dowry that was imbued to the Heavens Kirin Carriage, there were 18 other Heavens. Though the Yinkang Clan was not good a particularly fertile clan, its total population was still massive.

  With all of them praying at once, sacrifices were offered and crimson red light pillars launched right into the Void World; as the light pillars merged, they turned into a torrent of light that coalesced into a bridge that connected the Void World and the real world.

  As the prayer continued, a grand figure slowly descended; his sheer power shook the skies.

  The spirit of Demon Monarch Yin Kang had finally descended!

  The Heaven Suppression River Cauldron trembled as if it had returned to the glorious where it fought alongside its creator!

  After endless years of worship, the cauldron was on the verge of actualizing its own spirit. Under the calling of its creator, the cauldron flew up into the air and straight into the grand figure’s hand.

  “My people.”

  The stalwart figure in the air said while light wheels from behind his head enlarged gradually soared into the Heavenly River, slicing it apart.

  With kindness, love, and guilt, the giant looked at his people and said, “Today is the day I reimburse you all for the hardship you suffered because of me.”

  The massive light wheels cut into the Heavenly River, rolling up the endless star dusts inside, turning them into luminous stardusts as they filled up the light wheels.

  Five Star Rivers slowly formed in the skies and Zhong Yue was awestruck by what he witnessed.

  But after all, he was only a spirit. Demon Monarch Yin Kang’s mortal body was no more, and thus, his Bloodl
ine Wheel was gone, leaving him with only Five Paths Reincarnation left.

  After the death of his body, Demon Monarchs Yin Kang’s Bloodline Wheel was no more; this existence that lost in the competition against Heavenly Monarch Tian Yuan passed away from depression and guilt after his loss resulted in his entire clan being relegated to the State of Heavenly River.

  Now, his spirit had returned once again to his clan from the Void Realm and this time, he was going to remove the seals to set his people free!

  The many Yinkang Clan’s gods knelt down, chanting even louder to further strengthen Demon Monarch Yin Kang’s Five Paths Reincarnation. The Heaven Suppression River Cauldron was flipped upside down while its power climbed drastically, countless massive monarch level Dao totem patterns reached out from the cauldron like raging dragons that reached their claws onto every corner in the State of Heavenly River.

  The ground trembled; the seals created by Heavenly Monarch Tian Yuan back then that had already merged with the State of Heavenly River were now starting to break down. The massive state trembled as it slowly ascended into the air.

  The monarch’s power was the power of Dao, a power so strong that could create galaxies and build Reincarnations. Even after his death, Demon Monarch Yin Kang was still able to move the entire State of Heavenly River after his spirit was summoned by his people.

  As the State of Heavenly River slowly ascended into the air, roots were still tangling onto the bottom of the state; those were the Heavenly Monarch Tian Yuan’s seals, like an ancient tree’s roots that burrowed deep into the Heavenly River to absorb energy.

  As the State of Heavenly River continued to ascend into the skies, these massive roots began breaking into halves.

  And the rumbles echoed through the many States of Heavenly River!

  In the Panhu Clan, the many gods were shocked by this and they could only look at this scene with empty minds.

  Upon hearing the rumbles, Lou Zhengshi and the Panhu Clan’s elders, who were welcoming Feng Wuji, rushed out. They too, were awestruck by what they saw.

  “The Yinkang Clan is running away!”

  Lou Zhengzhi said, “We must not let the Yinkang Clan escape to the Heaven Suppression Fortress! Once they get there, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian will be even harder to defeat! His defensive fate will evolve into aggressive fate! Senior Martial Brother Pan Ji, we must stall them! Mister Wuji, bring the command scroll from the Heaven Court and Panhu Clan, head towards the unworldly world and get the Fuxi Celestial Race’s help!”

  A hesitated Pan Ji immediately frowned at this; with Demon Monarch Yin Kang descended from the Void Realm, the monarch weapon in his hand to move the State of Heavenly River, Pan Ji was reluctant to fight with the Yinkang Clan right now.

  Feng Wuji, however, was very decisive and he immediately nodded, “Then I shall head over there right now. May I have two Imperial Emperors accompany me to show our sincerity?”

  Lou Zhengzhi nodded and had his second-in-command follow Feng Wuji. Pan Ji sent out Pan Yue before Pan Ji asked, “Wuji, what else do you need? We may not have everything in this world but we certainly have anything that you’d need!”

  Feng Wuji burst out laughing, “All I need is just one more ship!”

  “Mister Wuji is really extraordinary!”

  Pan Ji praised and he immediately prepared a ship for Feng Wuji while he and Lou Zhengshi led the army right towards the Yinkang Clan’s state.

  Meanwhile, along with the two imperial emperors, Feng Wuji sailed towards the unworldly world. The second-in-command of the Heavenly River Naval Fleet, Shu Yuntian and Panhu Clan’s elder, Pan Yue guarded right beside Feng Wuji as they suppressed all the rogue waves caused by the unrooting of Yinkang Clan’s state.

  “There is also another ship sailing towards the unworldly world!” shouted Shu Yuntian suddenly.

  Feng Wuji immediately turned around, seeing a ship sailing from another direction with the same destination as them. However, given the distance, Feng Wuji could only see figures moving on the ship.

  “It’s the Yinkang Clan’s ship!” said a squinting Pan Yue as he managed to identify the ship.

  “They know what we are planning to do! Mister Yi is definitely on that ship, make haste! Waste no time! We must get there before them!”

  The two Imperial Emperors immediately channeled their energy into the ship, bring the ship’s speed up to its peak, but the other ship was also speeding up.

  Not long later, the gap between them had closed in, and Feng Wuji smirked after seeing the person on the other ship, “Just as expected, Mister Yi is there. This brat is really brave! He actually came here with only a True Deity and a Creator.”

  On the other ship, Zhong Yue stood on the bow with only a Creator and a True Deity, who were Fu Li and Hundun Yu respectively.

  The ships then gradually came close to one another as they sailed towards the State of Heavenly River.

  “This is a great chance to kill him!”

  Feng Wuji’s eyes blinked and the two Imperial Emperors suddenly attacked, hurling out spells towards the other ship!

  Given how powerful the Imperial Emperor was, even someone like Fu Li was reluctant to go head-on with them. But before their attacks even reached the ship, an overwhelming tree descended from the skies, shrouded in eye-blinding divine lights and stopped the attacks.

  “Hundun Clan’s monarch weapon?”

  The Imperial Emperors had a shock and they said happily, “The Hundun Clan’s little boy is not strong enough to unleash its power, killing him will be easy!”

  Greed emerged in their eyes; a precious item like monarch weapons were, after all, extremely rare and it’d be more than fortunate to be able to obtain one just like that!

  After all, killing someone like Hundun Yu was as easy as killing an ant; through powerful soundwaves, invisible attacks, Six Paths Reincarnations or even raw body power, they would be able to strike him down without worrying about the Fusang Tree.

  Whereas Fu Li was different; this wild human was not one to be underestimated and they had to go through him first in order to reach Hundun Yu.

  As the ship closed in, Feng Wuji’s little ship was immediately dwarfed by Zhong Yue’s warship.

  Originally, he wanted to contrast his presence against Zhong Yue, making him back down from his mere presence, but before such a massive ship, Feng Wuji felt like he was much lower than Zhong Yue.

  However, Feng Wuji was not affected by this and he greeted, “King Yi, did you come here seeking for a death?”

  Feng Wuji rolled his eyes and continued, “With the prayers, Yinkang Clan had no one to spare for you. Now, I am able to kill you any time with only this big guy protecting you.”

  Now, the two ships finally aligned, Shu Yuntian and Pan Yue were staring at them dangerously as if they would lunge forward anytime while Feng Wuji smiled, “But with your life at my mercy now, I don’t feel like killing you anymore.”

  Zhong Yue gave him a mysterious smile and took out an innocent looking boy from his Yuan Shen Secret Realm. He then threw him towards Fu Li while saying, “Go.”

  Fu Li immediately carried the little boy with him, and ran away on the Star River. Behind him, Shu Yuntian and Pan Yue ascended into the air and gave chase mindlessly!

  Feng Wuji’s vision locked onto the little boy and he lost his mind suddenly. Just as he was about to chase after them, Fu Li and the other two were already out from his detection range, allowing him to come back to his senses. But to his horror, one of his feet was already out from his ship!

  Meanwhile, the massive ship collided with the tiny ship, nearly knocking Feng Wuji off balance while Zhong Yue smiled, “Mister Wuji, please repeat what you said, I did not seem to hear properly.”

  Feng Wuji began to sweat profusely, his eyes rolled around, and three heads emerged seemingly out of nowhere as he shouted, “Halt! Halt! Halt!”

  The ship stopped moving in an instant, Zhong Yue and Hundun Yu who were standing in the deck froze without a sig
n.

  Having seen these two guys being immobilized, the relieve Feng Wuji smiled again, “I said, your life is in my hands.”

  Pi la pa la—

  Feng Wuji’s eyes widened in shock and horror as the dimension around Zhong Yue shattered while he smiled, “Please continue what you were saying.”

  The ships floated silently on the Heavenly River and Feng Wuji sweated crazily under the intensifying pressure.

  His identity was very special, allowing him to be respected wherever he went. He had quite a position in Bi Luo Palace and even able to converse with monarch existences freely without flinching.

  He was a very smart person, the disciple of an innate god and possessed two sovereign races’ bloodline but before this man, he had been losing to him not once, not twice, but every single time.

  “Zhong Yue! You can’t kill me and I am not afraid of you!”

  Feng Wuji’s eyes locked onto Zhong Yue, “My teacher had left a protective spell in my psyche ocean. Apart from that, there are also some other spells given by the other monarchs. My power is far beyond your imagination! Whatever I have in my psyche ocean is enough to protect me from grave dangers six times!”

  Zhong Yue replied him with a smile and calm tone, “Even if I can, I will not. After all, you are Senior Martial Brother Feng’s son, I’ll still have to give him some respects. However, the six protective spells are nothing but a joke to me. As long as I do not trigger them, they will pose no danger. Do you think you can escape from me if I suppress you for a few ten thousand years?”

  “Sealing me away for few ten thousand years?” asked Feng Wuji with a strict expression.

  Zhong Yue nodded and smiled again, “Seal you away into a land until you die of old age, how about that? Or even, I don’t even need to seal you since I can just sink your ship and have you devoured by the Heavenly River. How long do you think those six protective spells will keep you alive?”
