Rise of Humanity

In the Heaven Suppressing Palace, the countless gods still hadn’t recovered from the incident; they all looked around mindlessly as if they just had a dream at the same time.

However, the long claw marks, the cleaved grounds and the holes that the undeads crawled out of all told them a cold hard truth. Everything was not just a dream for everything they thought was a dream did happen in the reality.

“Sometimes, some things are better left buried in time.”

Chuo Long sighed as he entered the ship’s interior to research Shi Long’s Dao bone.

Throughout history, there were a lot of secrets left buried in history and some were not meant to be brought up again for with any reckless moves made, apocalypse might descend.

Zhong Yue stood outside of the ship and his heart was still pounding quickly; things had gotten out of hand and almost ended up tragically. If it weren’t for Goddess Shen Hou, the entire universe would have been pushed into abyss by what he did.

The innate godly language was a very mysterious language. Some of the words within the language possessed immense power and could even alter the laws of heaven and earth’s Dao; just imagine how powerful those innate gods that were experts in innate godly language were back in that era!

Hence, this power was sealed within the history and it was not meant to be revealed to the world again!

However, this terrifying power was always here; there were still some that mastered this power and they were all the survivors of the prehistoric era. Besides, through witnessing how Goddess Shen Hou merged this ancient language with the Six Paths Reincarnation to achieve a greater power, he saw another way out.

Which was merging the ancient language with the current totem pattern cultivation system together!

Totem pattern Dao was just an interpretation of Dao and so was the Dao language, but the Dao language expressed it in a different way. Just like what Feng Xiaozhong said, after peeling off the surface, everything was of the same nature.

Upon reaching the peak, the two different cultivation systems no longer had much room to be improved and perhaps, merging them together was the only way out.

The one that is best in this field had to be Senior Martial Brother Feng Xiaozhong. Thank god I’ve invited him over in advance!

Zhong Yue glanced at Yin Fanxuan and he whispered, “A senior martial brother of mine will be here soon. While we meet him, say no words and emphasize that you are my wife! Remember, you must explain to him that you are my wife!”

Upon seeing how serious Zhong Yue acted, Yin Fanxuan’s heart thumped and she recalled, “Is this senior martial brother that one you went to meet during our honeymoon?”

Zhong Yue nodded and just as he turned around to welcome Feng Xiaozhong into Heaven Suppressing Palace, he vaguely heard someone sigh and Zhong Yue felt a cold chill run down his spine immediately!

He looked around after failing to identify the source, but he then turned around and looked towards Heaven Suppressing Palace that hung high above Zi Wei Galaxy’s outer heaven.

From that direction, Zhong Yue seemingly felt that there was a horrifying existence that was staring at him from the mysterious monarch palace!

However, this abnormal feeling disappeared quickly but Zhong Yue’s eyes twitched for this time, he clearly felt that he was being stared at! If it was just being stared at, Zhong Yue was still not sure of it but as soon as the gaze disappeared, the contrast was clearly felt. He was sure that there was a pair of eyes in Heaven Suppressing Palace that was looking at him!

The gaze and the sigh were all real, it was not a hallucination!

Seems like not all things have turned back into skeletons and dust….

Zhong Yue tried his best to regain his cool and with a heart-pounding fast, Zhong Yue walked towards the Astral Doors and he appeared before the fortress’ gates right away. Just as he was about to open the gates, the voice halted him.

“Mister! Hold up!”

Mu Suge approached him suddenly and asked, “Mister, what was going on just now? We are all in fear now!”

Zhong Yue looked around and all he saw were pale faces on the Creators and along with the other gods that were even more frightened, they were all shivering and have yet to recover from what happened.

But Zhong Yue himself was also scared, not to mention these gods!

“Should I report this to my father, mister?”

“Yes, tell him exactly what happened.” replied Zhong Yue firmly after a moment of thinking, “This is a turbulence caused by the prehistoric era. There were abnormal events here for a very long time but none of them were as strong as this one here. Tell his majesty that I am the cause of all this, it was I that accidentally spoke the innate divine language and triggered what we knew happened.”

Mu Suge hesitated and again, he asked, “But will my father blame you for what happened?”

Zhong Yue, however, put on a complicated face and replied, “Even if you didn’t tell him what happened, he will know about it quickly. There are quite a few eyes that belonged to His Majesty’s spies under my command.”

Mu Suge’s expression changed right away for he was worried that Zhong Yue’s trust in them would be hurt because of this but Zhong Yue calmed the prince, “This is what every lord should do. They should trust their men but not to a very mad extent. Similar to me, there were also spies around Zi Guang so you don’t have to take it too heavily, Your Highness.”

Mu Suge let out a relieved breath right away and said with a laugh, “Then I will tell my father about what happened exactly.”

Zhong Yue nodded and opened the door but not before Fu Qizhi approached him and bowed, “Master, halt!”

Zhong Yue stopped and Fu Qizhi transmitted a message into Zhong Yue’s mind, “Master, I couldn’t help but kneel before Lord Dao Venerate Fu Min just now. If this is reported, I’m afraid that I will hurt your benefits, master …”

“Don’t worry.”

Fu Qizhi was stunned and Zhong Yue continued, “Don’t worry about it, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian never trusted you nor the humans of the ancient universe.”

Coldness devoured Fu Qizhi immediately while Zhong Yue explained, “He only trusted me. He trusted me that I will be able to control you all firmly and this is why he will not do anything to you all even after what you did just now. This is the way to rule someone.”

Fu Qizhi’s heart thumped and he smiled, “If he is not an enemy, he will be a very wise leader.”

“Indeed, but shame, he is an enemy.”

Zhong Yue got out through the gates and that was when he was halted by another person.

Zhong Yue stopped and turned around, “Creator Zheng Xian, is there anything you need?”

The one that halted Zhong Yue was the Creator Zheng Xian that guarded the gates. His name was Creator Zheng Xian and after being smacked back into his original form, he was pierced by chains that sealed away his body and Yuan Shen and he was placed here to guard the gates.

Creator Zheng Xian replied politely and respectfully, “Mister Yi now mastered the prehistoric Dao language, bestowed with great power and your intelligence has earned my respect and admiration. You are one that is bound to achieve even more and you were an innate god in your previous life while I am just one that tried to preserve the status quo of my clan. Smart servants would serve under a wise leader and I’d like to ask if I could become one of your many servants to aid you in your conquest?”

Zhong Yue glanced at Creator Zheng Xian and with a smirk, he replied, “You’re trying to provoke my relationship with the Imperial Emperor? Who gave you such guts!”

Hua la—

The chains that pierced through Creator Zheng Xian dragged him into the Star River and Creator Zheng Xian shrieked right away as soon as he touched the water.

Zhong Yue’s psyche moved and again, the chains dragged him out and Creator Zheng Xian laid there powerlessly and panted while fear built up in him.

Zhong Yue let out a cold humphed and he questioned the Pao Xi Demon Race’s Creator standing on the other side of the gates, “Are you not going to lower the drawbridge?”

A man in white robes then walked towards Zhong Yue on the drawbridge and Zhong Yue immediately walked towards the man. As Feng Xiaozhong walked on the bridge towards Zhong Yue, he was also examining the structures around him and interest began building up.

“There are a lot of totem patterns hidden in the air and any intrusion will immediately detonate these totem patterns and cause an explosion within the river. This is really a place where it’s easy to defend but difficult to conquer.”

Feng Xiaozhong praised and he asked, “That Creator wanted to surrender to you but why did you throw him into the river?”

Zhong Yue got up to the castle wall with Feng Xiaozhong and he replied, “He underestimated me and thought he could provoke me with just words. Of course I had to punish him.”

Feng Xiaozhong’s confusion was not cleared and Zhong Yue continued, “He’s a man under Imperial Emperor Xian Tian but he did not think that I’ve seen through his cover on the very first day I met him. I may have captured the Creators around Heaven Suppressing Palace but at the same time, I also know that they were from different races. Hence, I’ve been netting the Karmic Lines to identify the power they represented and came from and Creator Zheng Xian is under Imperial Emperor Xian Tian. He is a loyal one and he is definitely sent here by Imperial Emperor Xian Tian. By throwing him into the Heavenly River, not only will I show my loyalty, but I will also be able to punish him.”

The two then walked out from the Star Gates before the King’s Palace before Feng Xiaozhong rebutted, “Junior martial brother, your focus is occupied by many things and this is slowing down your improvements in researching and pursuing the Dao! You should come with me and together, we will study the secrets hidden throughout the universe. This is what a true Qi Practitioner should be doing!”

Zhong Yue however, shook and answered, “What’s the point of pursuing the Dao if the world is not in peace?”

Their concepts and ideas clashed and they found it difficult to convince each other, hence, they stopped dwelling on this topic while Zhong Yue led the way to the ancient ship. Compared to how it looked after being dragged out from the river, this ancient ship was entirely different; now, it was extremely new and shiny and there was even a dragon head at the bow, which belonged to Shi Long.

The hole on the ship was also gone, as if the ship was entirely reforged.

And that was the wonder of the “Fu Sheng” Dao language.

Feng Xiaozhong examined the ship and madness starting to seep into him again; this was the madness one felt upon seeing something he very much desired, the madness of pursuing the Dao and the madness that caused someone to ignore everything but his target!

“Darling, this is that senior martial brother you spoke to me about?”

Yin Fanxuan flew out from the deck and greeted Feng Xiaozhong, who looked at her after he stunned for a split second.

Yin Fanxuan however, felt that there was nothing in those pair of eyes apart from that desire of pursuing the Dao. His gaze was extremely uncomfortable for Yin Fanxuan as she felt that all her secrets were laid bare before his eyes.

Feng Xiaozhong then turned away and continued examining the ship. If it were back then, Feng Xiaozhong would definitely be more attracted to researching the Innate Saint Spirit Body. But now, Yin Fanxuan’s Innate Saint Spirit Body was not as attractive as the ship.

“Darling, your senior martial brother is really weird….” whispered Yin Fanxuan.

“I know, and I’ve known this since a long time ago. I will become very weird later on as well so I thought I should warn you beforehand. Senior martial brother, are you ready?”

“Of course.”

The two then created countless incarnations and the many Feng Xiaozhong and Zhong Yue filled up the entire ship, all started discussing with one another in groups as they started studying the secrets of the ancient ship.

Yin Fanxuan looked at this scene for quite some time before she finally felt jealousy sparkled in her, He is more intimate with his senior martial brother as compared to me!
