Rise of Humanity

by <unknown>

  Feng Jikai remained silent.

  At this time, he was completely convinced by Zhong Yue; this was a place unknown to him. Even if he knew about this, he wouldn’t even be able to enter without knowing the correct way. But Zhong Yue easily entered.

  Only the “future ghost” had such capabilities.

  Zhong Yue then dispersed the [Sky Clouding Sun Changing Art], changing back to his original appearance and introducing himself seriously, “I am the Ancestral Star’s human Fuxi Celestial Race, Zhong Yue of the Zhong Shan Clan. Greetings, Fuxi Celestial Race’s clan master!”

  Feng Jikai had completely lost his mind upon seeing Zhong Yue’s look; this young god was that “ghost” his father spoke off, the “ghost” from the Ancestral Star’s Fuxi Celestial Race!

  At the later years, his father donned the traitor of the race, had no friends at all except for this invisible ghost that accompanied his father.

  Finally!

  I’ve finally waited until this day father spoke off!

  Suddenly, Feng Jikai felt the urge of crying. For 70,000 years, he had waited for 70,000 years; throughout the time, he had broken down time and time again, doubt about the existence of this “ghost”, gathered up his confidence again and again only to be shattered again.

  He did not know how he managed to hold himself together through these years and everything ever happened haunted him like nightmare.

  And now, the “ghost” his father spoke off had shown himself!

  “Are there still Fuxi out there?” asked Feng Jikai with a sore voice.

  “There is a female Fuxi.” replied Zhong Yue after a moment of hesitation.

  “There is Fuxi out there still!” Feng Jikai murmured and he could no longer hold his years in.

  The clan master collapsed on the ground and started breaking down while Zhong Yue waited patiently and silently, awaiting him to recover from his sadness.

  After some time, Feng Jikai recollected himself back together, sat there mindlessly for some time before he said bitterly, “Ghost from the future, what do you need from me?”

  Zhong Yue remained silent and he said, “The future. Come with me, fight, cry and shed blood alongside with me for a future, Clan Master Jikai.”

  He hesitated and couldn’t help but to ask, “You may look young but you have been binge drinking for such a long time. After being deprived of battles, can you still swing your weapon? Are you still strong enough to decapitate your foes? Are your blood burning still? Can you face death without flinching? Are you still a Fuxi?”

  From his forehead, his psyche gushed out, endless blood ocean flowed out, countless gods fought on the blood ocean, thunder and lightning rampaged everywhere while severed body parts rained down from the skies!

  Zhong Yue was showing just how cruel and how scary a battle was!

  Get out? Fight? Cut heads? Death?

  Feng Jikai stared at the blood ocean with a pale face, grasped his chest tightly and his heart pounded quickly.

  Peng peng peng—

  One beat after another, his heartbeat intensified and it felt like it was going to jump out from his chest!

  Zhong Yue felt pity for this Fuxi; this was the unworldly world and as one who was raised here, Feng Jikai experienced no war, no life and death battles and the dangerous of the outside world!

  The unworldly world was a greenhouse and Feng Jikai was just a flower nurtured in the greenhouse. Thus, no matter how powerful he was, he had never experienced real battle before!

  He had never even killed something!

  Feng Jikai’s face got even paler, his hand on the chest tightened even more and veins popped out from his forehead as he panted, just like a fish gasping on air after being fished out from the water.

  Zhong Yue sighed and left without saying a word.

  “Metal.”

  Then came murmuring from Feng Jikai before a metal clanking noise was heard as a rusted sword was stabbed into the ground.

  Zhong Yue stopped, turning around and seeing a trembling Feng Jikai grabbing onto the sword hilt, wanting to pull it out but being too powerless to do so.

  As one of the strongest existences in the unworldly world, this sword was a divine weapon that was forged in him since youth and grew with him.

  But now, Feng Jikai felt that this rusted sword was immensely heavy that he couldn’t even lift it up by an inch.

  Zhong Yue was saddened to see this; the sword and the blood was there but the sword was now rusty and the blood icy cold now.

  Feng Changyang’s son had been living in this greenhouse for too long, he lost himself and despite having immense talent and endless strength, Feng Jikai could no longer swing his weapon and boil his blood again.

  He was not the one Zhong Yue was looking for; he has became a different version of Fu Shang, his edges completely grinded away and he was only suitable to live here forever until time catches up to him.

  His sword was too rusty but how could a peak Imperial Emperor’s sword ever turned rusty?

  What had truly became rusty—was his heart.

  His heart rusted and because of that, so did his sword.

  As someone like himself, the divine weapon was a reflection of his heart; if the sword was rusted, then it suggested that his heart was rusty.

  So how was that possible for a rusty heart to make the blood boil again?

  Fuxis were fearless gods of war and if their blood turned cold, they were no longer Fuxi.

  “Pretending to be drunk for too long had really turned him drunk.”

  Xin Huo said, “Pretending to have no talent has really turned him useless. He shouldn’t have waited for so long, time had already grinded his edges away.”

  Zhong Yue sighed and he started walking away again. But this time, he noticed the surroundings light up slightly, which made him stop again.

  The light brightened and printed his shadow onto the wall.

  Then he heard wind whistling in his ears.

  Shivering silent wind.

  Zhong Yue stopped and he murmured, “Xin Huo, listen to the wind.”

  Wind came from the back and amidst the wind, the light lit up even brighter and when Zhong Yue turned around, he saw the rusty sword in Feng Jikai’s hand illuminating; the rusty coatings on the sword fell off, revealing the shiny blade again!

  Beside Feng Jikai, wind whistled, howled and screeched as the wind blew around him!

  As more and more rust coatings fell off, the divine sword in Feng Jikai’s hand buzzed; from low and vague, the buzzing turned louder, melodious and calming!

  The wind whistled and the sword buzzed.

  Then, came a huge blast of gale!

  Jiang——

  Feng Jikai pulled the sword out from the ground, standing up straight. His crazy aura blew the dust around him away as Dao roared in anger around him!

  He held his sword firmly, synchronizing himself with the sword. The sword felt like it had been sharpened everyday for 70,000 years!

  “The metal and blood remained!”

  Feng Jikai gritted, let out a battle cry and shouted, “Fuxi’s Zhong Shan Clan’s member! Fuxi’s Feng Clan’s Feng Jikai is honoured to fight alongside with you!”

  Chapter 977: Six Seals |

  Zhong Yue was more than excited to see this. He stared at Feng Changyang whose sword had been rusty and also sharpened for 70,000 years!

  Hiding from plain sight for 70,000 years might have rendered him inexperience for combat but just how sharp and quick was this sword after it was being sharpened for 70,000 years?

  “And I shall fight with you!”

  In this secret chamber, Zhong Yue and Feng Jikai placed their hands on their chest!

  “From now on, there will be a third Fuxi in this universe!”

  Zhong Yue laughed, “Can you still wait? Continue sharpening your sword for another few years and by then, you and I, we shall open a bloodied path for the Fuxi Celestial Race’s future!”

  Feng Jikai replied with a serious tone,
“But don’t you dare keep me waiting for too long! I am afraid that my sword and my heart will turn rusty again.”

  “Don’t worry! I won’t keep you waiting for too long! I need you to continue your cultivation. The techniques and arts you father had yet to perfect have been completed by me. I will teach them to you now. I need you to be stronger!”

  With a flick in his mind, Zhong Yue transmitted the complete [Time Light Spacial Crystal Mystic Scripture] to Feng Jikai before saying, “Wait for my news here and when you receive my words, can you slay these traitors in the unworldly world?”

  “This bloodthirsty sword has been longing for their blood for 70,000 years….” said Feng Jikai as he placed his hands onto his sword.

  The duo then walked out from Feng Changyang’s cultivation chamber and with that, another Fuxi emerged, warming Zhong Yue greatly and chasing the loneliness in him away.

  Apart from me and Si Ming, there is another Fuxi! We have not knelt and we will never kneel! We are still standing up straight and we got lives to spare!

  After that, he parted ways with Feng Changyang and started looking for a palace to activate his Fuxi bloodline; now, he was disguising as Feng Wuji and he was treated politely as the messenger from both Heavenly Monarch and Panhu Clan.

  He then started preparing to lift the bloodline curse in him, removing the seals once and for all. In the unworldly world, the evil exinstence’s curse could not reach this place because the unworldly world did not belong to the universe out there but was independent from it.

  This was a hard-to-come-by chance for him to remove the seals and curse once and for all and boost his combat power tremendously!

  “Little friend Wuji.”

  Suddenly, an old voice came from the deepest part of the unworldly world, which caused Zhong Yue to flinch; as the remnant piece of the previous Imperial Star, the unworldly world was extremely vast and it required tremendous power to be able to transmit its voice to such an extent!

  “Little friend Wuji, this old man’s name is Feng Zhen.”

  The voice said calmly, “I heard that you want to open the bloodline seal so I butted in to see if I could help.”

  Feng Zhen?

  Goosebumps were all over Zhong Yue as when he returned to the past 70,000 years ago, one of the two monarch traitors monarch was this Feng Zhen!

  This Feng Zhen was also an incredible one as he managed to slip away from Feng Changyang’s wrath!

  He was a pureblood Fuxi Celestial Race raised in the land of the Fuxi and also the one that wrote on the tablet that he was the one that annihilated all Fuxi!

  He’s still alive!

  Zhong Yue felt like he was being preyed by a snake hiding in the dark but that did not cause him to stutter, “I dare not bother elder for such puny matter. I can do it myself.”

  Feng Zheng’s voice then laughed, “All you need is to open the fifth level of the Fuxi bloodline, which is very easy. It will not be a problem given how talented you are. It’s a shame that you are not a pureblood or it would be difficult for you to unseal all the seals. For we Fuxi Celestial Race, the more pureblooded you are, the harder it is for you to unseal the bloodline seal.”

  Zhong Yue then asked, “Can you please teach me, elder?”

  “There are six seals that sealed our bloodline!”

  Feng Zhen’s voice sounded right beside his ear, “The first seal unseal 20% of the bloodline, which is the easiest one. The second unseal 40% and it gets harder from this point. The third unseal 60% and at this point, only by having the eyesight of an Imperial Emperor allows one to remove this seal. For the fourth seal, you will have to have the knowledge of a monarch, and for the fifth seal, what you need is already far beyond imagination.”

  Zhong Yue waited for moment and after hearing nothing from Feng Zhen, he asked, “Elder, then what about the sixth seal? With 100% of the bloodline unsealed, there shouldn’t be a seal anymore, right? What is this sixth seal?”

  “The sixth seal, heh….”

  Feng Zhen’s voice sounded, “It’s the Reincarnation Seal, the most sinister seal of all. After struggling so much to unseal 100% of your bloodline, the sixth seal will be triggered. If you die, you will not be able to enter Reincarnation to be reborn again. At that point, you would truly be dead, no trace of your soul and spirit would ever be found anymore. It is an unresolvable seal …”

  Zhong Yue’s heart thumped; after going through so much to unseal 100% of the bloodline and after that, there was another Reincarnation Seal, plunging you back into the control of the enemy, just how hopeless is that?

  This was a seal that really aimed to drive a race to extinction!

  After a moment, Zhong Yue laughed, “Fortunately, I only have 50% Fuxi bloodline in me. But still, thank you for your explanation.”

  Feng Zhen smiled back, “You can try to remove the seal yourself. This old man here is busy keeping an old friend suppressed. This old friend of mine is not behaving again. Alright, in about 10 days or a month, I will come for you to help you!”

  Zhong Yue pretended to be very happy and he laughed, “Thank you!”

  In truth, his heart thumped; as a monarch, Feng Zhen’s third divine eye might just see through Zhong Yue’s disguise with the [Sky Clouding Sun Changing Art]!

  He sure could disguise himself from Feng Jikai and the elders, but there was no sayingif he was able to slip through Feng Zhen’s detection. A monarch who shared the same kind of blood in their veins!

  At most a month, at least over a dozen days? I need to leave within 10 days!

  Zhong Yue immediately had people prepare the place for him, sealed the palace away and had Hundun Yu guarded the palace with the tree branch while he get ready to remove the seal!

  Hundun Yu planted the Fusang Divine Tree into the ground, its roots burrowed deep into the ground and shrouded the palace, preventing even Creators from closing in.

  Zhong Yue had already removed half of his bloodline, stopping before reaching 60% as he noticed the third imminent danger.

  But here, he felt no such terrifying feeling, which meant that the unworldly world was capable of blocking the evil exsitence’s curse!

  The Dao blood that was gifted to him by Goddess Shen Hou was already almost fully absorbed by him and now, he only needed a bit more time to fully absorb the Dao blood to remove 60% of the seal!

  Time is of the essence now! Can I unseal 80% of the bloodline seal in 10 days?

  He then shut himself in, concentrating on absorbing the Dao blood while he poured all his intelligence into calculating the forth bloodline seal.

  Without removing the current seal, the seals behind would not reveal itselfs and if the seals behind appeared, they woudl trigger the bloodline curse that will bring a Fuxi back into 10,000 years ago.

  Zhong Yue was on the verge of removing the third bloodline seal right now and the fourth seal was slowly forming, which was a far more advanced seal that required a monarch’s knowledge to unseal.

  And now, Zhong Yue had already achieved the monarch’s mentality. When he sensed the Daos, he even felt like he was about to turn into Dao like the monarchs.

  He had already acquired the asset to lift the fourth bloodline seal.

  Zhong Yue crazily calculated the seals and the remaining portions of the fourth seal appeared after the third bloodline seal was entirely loosened.

  After waiting for a moment, Zhong Yue found no great fear and the curse’s power that would pull him back to 10,000 years ago.

  So the unworldly world can really blocked off the curse.

  Zhong Yue calmed himself down and poured his attention into removing the fourth seal.

  “Zhong Shan Clan’s member, you must be careful of turning into Daos!”

  Xin Huo who noticed the rumblings in Zhong Yue’s Daos had a shock and he shouted at once, “That Feng Zhen did not come in peace, he did not tell you that the fourth seal will make you allured to the seals and bring the dangers of Dao Assimilations!”

  Zhong Yue’s
heart thumped again as he immediately felt something was off as he was about to be assimilated by the seal!

  Removing the fourth bloodline seal required the monarch’s knowledge, understanding these seals first in order to remove them later. This was the most crucial part in removing the seal.

  In this part, the evil existence planted a trap where if one tried to understand the seals, he or she would be led by the seal and risk having a Dao Assimilation and be converted into Daos!

  The conversion here, however, was not in getting assimilated into the heaven and earth’s Daos but into the seals!

  His Daos would be turned into the fourth bloodline seal, he wouldn’t die from it, but it would have fortified his bloodline seals to a point where it could no longer be unsealed!

  So dirty!

  Zhong Yue shivered for a second before countless incarnations appeared, each shouting and activated the Tian Pan; after the explosion, what remained of the disc was just the bottom plate. However, with the branding remained, this disc was still powerful.

  And calculating through this disc eliminated the risk of getting assimilated into Dao.

  Zhong Yue unsheathed his innate divine saber, reflected his bloodline with it; as a weapon formed from the Innate Yi Dao originating from Dao Venerate Fu Min’s Innate Dao Qi, this saber was able to reflect all secrets.

  Through the disc and the saber, Zhong Yue was able to decipher the secrets in the seal and lift the seal.

  Meanwhile, in the centre of the unworldly world, massive light pillars launched into the skies from an abyss-looking well and there were massive cloud platforms floating in it.

  On top of a cloud platform, Feng Zhen sat with his legs crossed and he looked towards the bottom seriously.

  Beside him was another cloud platform, sat also a powerful old man with human top and snake bottom.

  “Old dog, why are you so impatient recently?”

  The old man smirked, “Feng Zhen, you talked to a junior. What was that about? There are not many juniors that can attract your attention now.”
