Rise of Humanity

Finally, the Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror was teleported into the Heaven Realm in the Tuo Shan Six Paths World. Zhong Yue and the others flew out of the mirror with the Eighteen Emperors of the Heavenly Cloud. All of them were excited at the prospect of meeting King Geng again!

Celestial Emperor Qian Shan and the others immediately tried to contact King Geng with their totem pillars while Zhong Yue quietly disguised his looks and bloodline into a Bi Fang Celestial Race’s Qi Practitioner to avoid being exposed.

Not long later, Celestial Emperor Qian Shan said happily, “King Geng is here and he is a highly-valued guest of the Realm Monarch!”

Heavenly King Lu let out a relieved breath and he said, “The Realm Monarch here is called Realm Monarch Chang Ming. He is a rather unknown figure, but his strength is something to be feared. He is hostile against Realm Monarch Bo Luo so he will definitely help King Geng to fight against Realm Monarch Yunshan.”

“King Zhong, King Geng is on his way now. All we have to do is rest here for a moment as we wait for him.”

Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud had all disguised themselves; from their looks now, they appeared to be nothing more than just ordinary gods and demons. Besides, it would not take long before Realm Monarch Yunshan discovered their absence in the Wei Shen Six Paths World. He would definitely surmise that it was Zhong Yue that took them away.

Hence, disguise was a required safety measure.

Not long later, the portal lit up and after the light dispersed, a young god walked out from the teleportal. He looked around and when he saw Heavenly King Lu and the others, he was struck with joy and surprise and he quickly approached them.

This young god was King Geng. As one who was very familiar with Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud, he still recognized them even though they disguised themselves.

“Brother!”

King Geng suddenly bowed toward Zhong Yue who then quickly held onto him and asked, “How did you know it was me?”

“I had the Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud follow you so if they’re here, then the one standing beside them can only be you.”

King Geng looked at Yi Wanjun and he laughed happily, “And I also know that you will never disguise yourself as a woman. Besides, only you are capable of making Jun Wudao follow you!”

They were now standing on one of the sacred grounds in a city within Heaven Realm. King Geng looked around quickly and shook his head, “This is no place to talk, let’s go to my place.”

Everyone entered the teleportal right away and not long later, they were at another sacred ground in a divine mountain. Zhong Yue looked around and realized that this place was a training camp for gods and demons. There were a total of 30,000 of them sparring against each other.

“Realm Monarch Chang Ming sees me as a great talent. When I arrived here, he discovered me right away and made me the commander for his naval army of 30,000 capable soldiers.”

King Geng led them to the commander’s tent located at the center and said, “I accepted this offer right away. He needed me to harass Realm Monarch Yunshan and I needed his power to build my own powerbase against Realm Monarch Yunshan.”

Upon reaching the tent, Zhong Yue and the others removed their disguises and sat down. Heavenly King Lu laughed and said, “As a capable leader, King Geng has always been a reliable commander of the late Realm Monarch. It really is a waste of talent that you are assigned as the commander for the naval army.”

King Geng shook his head at this comment and just as he was about to say something else, a voice came from the outside of the tent saying, “King Geng, you are indeed a genius in training soldiers! In just a few years time, you’ve organized the army well and even sped up their growth! It seems like my decision was right!”

King Geng’s expression changed slightly upon hearing this voice and he quickly transmitted his voice into Zhong Yue’s mind, “It’s Realm Monarch Chang Ming!”

Zhong Yue moved right away; he changed his looks again, reversing his bloodline but it was too late. The tent’s flap wavered and the dimension shook as a giant walked into the tent laughing, “King Geng, I see that you have some important guests here. I assume these are the renowned Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud?”

The giant glanced around and his eyes quickly met with Zhong Yue who did not manage to avoid in time and the two of them were stunned.

King Geng’s expression changed even more upon seeing this and he began to feel uneasy; though Zhong Yue had changed his looks and bloodline, he was not sure if this was enough to keep Realm Monarch Chang Ming from seeing through his identity!

After all, this was a Creator with power beyond their knowledge!

And this giant was indeed one with great strength; on his face, there was a huge eye that gave off blazing stare. With just a glance, Zhong Yue’s bones started to creak and he could no longer manage to maintain his disguise!

Zhong Yue was only able to helplessly look at Realm Monarch Chang Ming as he was completely exposed.

They’d seen each other before; back in the lighthouse, this giant used his one eye to show a path to Zhong Yue, leading him into the lighthouse and teleporting him away!

And this giant was one of the reborn Fuxi that attacked Bo Luo Six Paths World!

100,000 years ago, they were all from the same race!

Or so this giant claimed.

As for Zhong Yue, he did not see this coming, not even the slightest. He had never once thought that this giant that had saved him was the Realm Monarch of the Tuo Shan Six Paths World!

If that giant at that time was Realm Monarch Chang Ming, then it would make sense to assume that the others have similarly illustrious backgrounds…. Thought a dumbfounded Zhong Yue.

Their two gazes met and the only eyebrows of this giant frowned right away. He shifted his vision from King Geng to the Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud and he remained silent.

Zhong Yue mirrored his action while Keng Geng and the Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud began to sweat nervously as they worried that Realm Monarch Chang Ming would turn hostile after learning of Zhong Yue’s true identity!

With his strength, I am not his match!

“Realm Monarch, I suppose there is no need for any killing intent,” said Zhong Yue out of nowhere, “King Geng and I took an oath and we are now sworn brothers. He knows that I am a Fuxi since a long time ago and he will not sell me out. Realm Monarch, please calm down.”

King Geng and Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud’s mind went blank right away and they looked at Zhong Yue in disbelief.

Zhong Yue actually told Realm Monarch Chang Ming not to kill them?

Was it not supposed to be that the Realm Monarch would kill Zhong Yue instead of them? How did it become such a scene where they are to be killed for Zhong Yue’s sake?

“I see.”

Realm Monarch Chang Ming nodded and said, “I never thought we would meet again so soon. What is your plan? You do know that it’s not very wise to run around like that. If I can expose you, the other Realm Monarchs surely can too.”

Zhong Yue smiled and replied, “I’m preparing to head towards Lei Zhe and complete the ascension ceremony.”

With a nod, Realm Monarch said, “Good, have a safe trip.”

He was sending Zhong Yue off right away.

With that said, he was telling Zhong Yue that he did not wish Zhong Yue to linger around anymore and wanted Zhong Yue to leave for Lei Zhe immediately.

Zhong Yue was speechless. He then held onto Yi Wanjun’s hand as he left the tent and headed towards the portal.

Meanwhile, in the main tent, Realm Monarch Chang Ming sat at the main seat and he slowly closed his single eye. He tapped his finger at the chair’s handle in the silent tent.

The only sound that could be heard was the rhythmic tapping of his finger. Each time the Realm Monarch tapped, King Geng and the Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud seemed to feel the impact on their hearts. His tapping left their body trembling as if Realm Monarch Chang Ming could crush their heart right away if he applied more strength.

“The Fuxi told me not to kill you all but I may not do what he says.”

Sometime later, Realm Monarch Chang Ming said with his eye closed, “He is still naive. He thought that sworn brothers would not betray him, but heh, he truly has no idea of the power of greed in this era….”

He said this mockingly as if remonstrating himself in the past. Thunderous winds blew all over the army camp and the sky had become multiple shades darker.

As a Creator, the heaven and earth could be swayed by his moods and thoughts. This raging weather signified that he was recalling something that was a deep source of anguish for him.

King Geng then suddenly said, “Your Majesty, if my brother wants to stand up against his enemies, he won’t succeed if he’s alone.”

“Go on….” said Realm Monarch Chang Ming slowly.

King Geng continued, “If you kill us, his brothers, who will dare to follow him? How is he supposed to gather enough men to fight against this world? Do you plan on it being just the two of you?”

The raging weather calmed down for a brief moment, but Realm Monarch Chang Ming still had his eye closed. The Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud were uneasy as Realm Monarch Chang Ming closed his eye because he was still thinking of the consequences of killing them. If he decided to open his eye, it meant that he had finally resolved to kill them, and they would be able to do nothing in response!

So, why are his eyes still closed?

When he opens his eye, will he let us go or kill us?

At this moment, footsteps could be heard coming from the outside as Zhong Yue’s voice echoed out, “I forgot to say this but King Geng is my younger brother. King Geng, farewell now, you don’t have to send me off.”

His footsteps gradually furthered and Realm Monarch Chang Ming slowly opened his eye as well. He got up and said, “The Fuxi views all of you with enough favor that he returned to speak up for you. I hope you know what you’re doing. Know this, I am no stranger to killing even my own brothers. The blood of a traitor will not weigh on my mind at all….”

King Geng and Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud nodded in response. After Realm Monarch Chang Ming left, they felt relieved and they looked at each other while their heart still pounded quickly.

King Geng did not know how to feel and suddenly, he laughed and said, “Back then when he convinced me to take an oath, I thought he was just trying to seek protection from me but in the end, it was me who became the one that relied on him!”

One thing was for sure, King Geng did not feel good; he wanted to take care of Zhong Yue, but it always worked out to be the other way around.

“Dear brothers, how did you manage to recover your eyes?” asked King Geng after that.

“It was King Zhong that helped us lift the seals.” Heavenly King Lu answered.

King Geng’s eyes widened right away and after a long time, he sighed and said, “Seems like I really need to admit that brother is indeed better than me….”

Meanwhile, in the Lei Zhe Galaxy, the skies shook and four Bi Xie Rhinos pulling a carriage emerged from the void. The carriage charged into the Hell and the real world before entering the Lei Zhe Galaxy.

After they arrived at the Lei Zhe Galaxy, Zhong Yue brought Yi Wanjun down the carriage and he shouted, “Fuxi’s Zhong Yue has come to complete the ascension ceremony. May I have permission from the clan master!?”
