Rise of Humanity

Everything within this old palace appeared to be very ancient and quiet. Zhong Yue also felt that the time flow here was completely stopped and on the ancient walls were various records of history.

Zhong Yue took a careful look at these records. On the first one, it talked about the origin of the celestial dragon; when Lei Zhe was still the chaotic Lei Zhe it was, the celestial dragon emerged from this chaotic land.

The second picture was about the era created by Lei Zhe; how he explored, suppressed the chaos in the land and developed this chaotic land.

The third was how Lei Zhe and Hua Xu met each other and connected with each other.

The fourth one drew how Sui Sovereign was born into this world as he hatched from the dragon-snake egg with flames around him.

The fifth was the recording of a battle between the innate dragon where his golden blood splattered across the battlefield. But which battle it was exactly was unknown.

The sixth was the birth of Fuxi; which when the first Fuxi was born, even the innate dragon god and innate snake god came to celebrate it, and gods and demons surrounded the infant as they blessed the infant who had the images of sun and moon emerging on his forehead.

The seventh was about the Fuxi becoming the Heavenly Monarch Earthly Sovereign to usher in the Earth Order Era.

The eighth was about the the return of the Fuxi descendants at the Ancient Court to pray for their ancestors and the many young Fuxi attending their Coming of Age Ceremony in Lei Zhe.

…

One after another, Zhong Yue dwelled on these drawings. There were a total of fourteen pictures and they depicted everything that had happened in history up to the point that Fuxi created the Six Paths and Hou Tu built up Reincarnation. The fourteenth picture was wiped away for some reason, leaving only a mess behind.

“This picture drew the annihilation of Fuxi by Fuxi.”

Then came an old wizend voice from behind. Zhong Yue turned around and saw an old man with a dragon head walking towards him with his hair and dragon beard swaying about with his steps.

“But what was in the picture was a complete tragedy and there are also secrets that should not be revealed. Thus, the drawing was removed,” said the old man, “Before that, let me introduce myself, I am the clan master of the Leizhe Celestial Race. Greetings, my younger cousin.”

Zhong Yue had a shock and as he hurriedly greeted back, he said, “Patriarch, why did you call me cousin? From your looks, you are probably about hundred thousand years old at least.”

“That’s because Hua Xu and Lei Zhe were on the same level and generation, both were the parents of Fuxi with Hua Xu being the mother and Lei Zhe being the father. However, whether be it Great Sui or Fuxi, no matter which surname they go with, it will be disrespectful to either Hua Xu or Lei Zhe. Hence, under the orders of Hua Xu and Lei Zhe, Great Sui detached from the two clans and created his own clan, started the Flame Order Era and ruling it entirely. Then, Great Sui gave birth to Fuxi in the same situation as well; thus, we are all in the end, related.”

The old clan master explained, “As the inheritor of Xin Huo, you are just like the inheritor of the first Sui Sovereign, which makes little to none of us alive to be able to be more elderly than you. However, because of your young age, I’ve thickened my old face to call you my cousin.”

“So that’s how it is.” Zhong Yue nodded.

At this time, Xin Huo popped out from nowhere and after looking at this old man from head to toes, he said, “With that age of yours, you must have experienced that tragic event in the ancient era. You definitely know what happened and now that you met with your relative, don’t you think you should explain to us what happened?”

To his dismay, the old man rejected, “No, I can’t. The magnificent flame created by Great Sui, you have seen the situation we are in now and how much power do you think is required to annihilate us?”

Xin Huo was stunned and after a moment, he lowered his head in disappointment and the flame darkened down significantly.

Now, Leizhe Celestial Race was much weaker than before and even if he could still tell that there were still monstrous characters hidden in the Lei Zhe Galaxy, this race was still in a bad situation.

Once a great race with descendants that created two eras, the Leiahe Celestial Race had now deteriorated to a race of extremely low population.

“Tribulating the Lei Zhe had always been the tradition of Fuxi Celestial Race. Back when the Fuxi Clan was still in their peak, they would select the brightest disciples from everywhere. There would be hundreds of thousands of Fuxi disciples taking part in the challenge and only a few could pass,” said the old clan master, “That place, is made especially for you Fuxi by the first Lei Zhe. None of us would use it because as lighting ourselves, there was no use for us to go in there. However, this place was abandoned for at least a hundred thousand years and it was only activated two hundred years go for that Fuxi girl. Now, with your arrival, this place will be reactivated again but… What a shame, once there were hundreds thousands Fuxis and now, there is only you.”

He sighed and Zhong Yue too felt bitter.

Xin Huo remained silent for quite some time and he said, “Brat Yue, I will pass you the [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture]. It will be of great help to you there.”

With that said, he immediately transmitted the [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture] into Zhong Yue’s mind, which shocked the Leizhe old clan master.

The old clan master immediately said, “If he is the inheritor, why did you only teach him the art now? Has he not received anything from you, the Flame of Inheritance?”

“His bloodline is not pure, he is only half a Fuxi so I took him as a half inheritor. I taught him nothing apart from two arts.”

The old clan master then murmured, “That Fuxi girl was a pureblood but she’s….”

“I’ve seen her before but I won’t choose her. She has no feelings,” said Xin Huo, “Besides, I do not like female inheritors for they are quite a fuss. I once had one but each time I wanted her to give birth to expand the numbers of Fuxi, she would always reject my suggestions and say that it must be mutual love. Unlike females, those male inheritors would just go on with my suggestion as long the target was a female.”

Zhong Yue who stood at the side of them immediately flushed and he said, “No… It must be a mutual love….”

“Then what about the girl with the whip then?” mocked Xin Huo.

Zhong Yue’s face turned even redder and he failed to say anything else.

“And that is why my inheritor must be a male! Males are shameless!”

Suddenly, Xin Huo remembered Zhong Yue was standing at the side and he quickly said, “No, I’m not talking about you. Ermm, you need to work hard and give birth to a pureblood Fuxi as soon as possible!”

The old clan master’s mind went blank completely and after a moment, he thought, The Flame of Inheritance does not look reliable at all and is this half inheritor reliable or not? But without acquiring the complete inheritance, being taught with only two arts and partially awakened bloodline, his potential is terrific to be able to reach this point.

He hesitated for a moment right away after knowing the situation. The reason he ordered Creator He Lan to bring Zhong Yue here to attend the Coming to Age Ceremony was that he heard of Zhong Yue from Creator He Lan and thought that he was the current Xin Huo inheritor.

Even with his bloodline partially awakened, as long as Zhong Yue was a Xin Huo inheritor, he would still be worthy enough for the clan master to reactivate Lei Zhe.

But now, the worthiness of Zhong Yue was greatly reduced upon the revelation that he was only half an inheritor.

So be it. There is only one and a half Fuxi in this world now and there are no more Fuxi apart from them.

With this thought in his mind, the Lei Zhe old clan master made up his mind and said, “Cousin, please come here.”

Zhong Yue then followed him to the back of the palace where it was entirely covered in shadowy surging mists which couldn’t be seen clearly.

The old clan master then took out an ancient scepter and pointed at the piece of chaos, which the shadowy mists dispersed and revealed an old tablet.

Ancient Lei Zhe Realm.

Written the tablet.

“This is the only chaotic land that was not cleared. This place is wild and ancient at the same time. You’ve been to Pure Yang Lei Zhe, haven’t you? Pure Yang Lei Zhe is the branding of this place.”

As soon as the old clan master wanted to explain more to Zhong Yue, his expression changed right away and he pushed Zhong Yue towards the front strongly as he hurried him, “Get in there, quick and be careful!”

Zhong Yue immediately lost his balance and fell right into the Ancient Lei Zhe Realm.

The old clan master then took in a long breath and murmured as he walked out from the sacred palace, “So it’s finally time.”

Meanwhile, in the Heaven Court of Lei Zhe Six Path World, celestial ray engulfed a platform where huge eyeballs rolled everywhere in the celestial ray as they gazed into the Lei Zhe Galaxy.

“My lord, the stars gave path within the Lei Zhe Galaxy when Creator He Lan entered Lei Zhe!”

A cold voice then came from Heaven Court, “The stars gave path? This is a formality of welcoming an important guest! These old dogs, how dare they try to create troubles again! Prepare my ship right away!”

Moments later, the Lei Zhe Realm Monarch with a dragon head and human body flew straight towards Lei Zhe Galaxy with an endless army consisting heaven soldiers, generals, and commanders.

Not long later, the army crossed the border and when looked at from afar, there was no end to this army and the officers in this army were all the bloodline of Leizhe Celestial Race. Each and every one of them emitted tremendously strong power and with each movement, energy burst and lighting roared.

The Lei Zhe Realm Monarch could be seen sitting on his throne surrounded by many Heavenly Kings and Dharma Kings from many other races apart from Leizhe Celestial Race.

“Old clan master, His Majesty wished to know who this important guest of yours is!” A Heavenly King whose voice rumbled through the entire Lei Zhe Galaxy shouted.

Right away, angry roars were heard coming from Lei Zhe Galaxy as one after another overwhelming aura came from the deepest part of Lei Zhe while dragons emerged and stood off with the Heaven Court’s army.

The many Heavenly Kings and Dharma Kings were stunned as these dragons were those hidden terrifying characters of the Leizhe Celestial Race who they did not expect to emerge at all!

These guys were much more powerful than them and if a fight broke out, the Heaven Court would suffer losses beyond imagination!

The Realm Monarch, however, said calmly, “Is this treason, Leizhe Celestial Race?”

The old clan master then walked out and greeted, “Dear Realm Monarch, you with such an army and it really is hard for us to not take any actions. May I ask your purpose here today, your majesty?”

With a glance, the Realm Monarch sneered, “Why are you asking me as if you know nothing? Let me ask you, who is this guest of yours worthy enough for you to use the most honorable formalities. Two hundred years ago, you had the stars gave path and what appeared was a Fuxi girl. You managed to shake yourself clean last time but this time, don’t even dream of running away!”

“There must be some misunderstandings,” said the old clan master as he laughed.

“Then let us check,” said the Realm Monarch, “Don’t you even think that I have no idea of what you old dogs are planning. Everyone knows that the Lei Zhe Galaxy has Fuxis hiding in it! There are definitely quite an amount of Fuxi rebels hidden here, isn’t it?”
