Rise of Humanity

From the skies, the melodious song of dragons roarings and phoenixes chirps could be heard.

A young Heavenly Deity surrounded by Deity Emperors was walking down from the clouds. Lights were shining brightly around him and a bevy of specters were flying around him

Consort Tian Si’s heart thumped violently as she stared closely at the young Heavenly Deity.

The Fuxi Zhong Yue.

She had long heard of his name. She knew that King Zi Guang had been to the lower worlds just to capture this Fuxi, she also knew that this young Fuxi had not only escaped but even plundered Realm Monarch Bo Luo’s treasure vault.

Then, Heavenly Monarch ordered men to the lower worlds, his order was for the gods of the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds to hunt for Zhong Yue. Yet, this young Fuxi was always able to escape and furthermore, bring even more casualties to those hunting for him.

She looked at him carefully. The young Heavenly Deity had large eyes and thick brows. His eyes glimmered brightly with the light of wisdom, his face was stern and resolute, and he harbored intense killing will within, being able to push back anyone who stood against it. Clearly, he was a battle-seasoned expert.

He had a vertical eye slit on his forehead — it was the Fuxi Clan’s divine third eye. It was now closed, but she wondered how strong would it be when it was opened.

What a strong Fuxi! Consort Tian Si’s heart skipped a beat. This young Heavenly Deity’s prowess was incredible. There was a savage and yet charming air about him. Standing in the center of the Deity Emperors, the air around him made him stand out among all, it was as if he was naturally the focus of the world!

He felt like a god of war walking out from a sea of blood, his back was not bent, his will was not twisted, his mind and heart bowed to no heaven and earth. He was a man of steel, that he would stand above all!

His air was like a wild beast, but what was truly wild was his heart!

He was no weaker than any of the talents in the Zi Wei Galaxy! Hope rose within Consort Tian Si and she thought, Maybe, he will be able to protect us humans in this chaotic era; that he can lead us out from our eternal sufferings…

There were over a hundred Deity Emperors beside the Fuxi Heavenly Deity centering him, their auras alone suggested that they were also experienced war-veterans!

Among them, there was a celestial emperor with a big tummy, smiling every day, every second to everyone. There was also a celestial emperor with a monkey’s face, he was definitely a top-tier Deity Emperor!

Celestial Emperor Bi Xie couldn’t help but grow anxious seeing that Zhong Yue was surrounded by so many experts. Whereas Consort Tian Si thought, Celestial Emperor Bi Xie and Fuxi had a bad past, I wonder what it is? Celestial Emperor Bi Xie is self-conceited, he despises everyone and yet, he is anxious in front of the Fuxi?

“Fuxi, you passed the region of misfortune, because of this Heavenly King Lu?” Celestial Emperor Fei Yan was surprised.

The young man smiled, “Heavenly King Fu is the Innate Blessing Spirit Body, without him, it’d take us a long time to come in. Fei Yan, although you are a Deity Emperor, the cultivation of the Innate Curse Spirit Body is harder than the ordinary cultivators. If you can absorb the curse from them, you two might be able to cultivate into the level of Creators.”

Celestial Emperor Fei Yan’s eyes brightened up, she smiled, “I too know this, but the Heavenly Retributions on them are too strong, this comes only from the suffering and death of countless people. It’s still uncertain if we are able to absorb and digest it all.”

The young Fuxi said casually, “The Heavenly Retributions come from the chaos of Zi Wei Galaxy, through the death and sufferings of the celestials and demons in the Zi Wei Galaxy. However, this curse is not a big issue to Celestial Emperor Fei Yan. Help them quickly and cultivate into Creators. The 3,000 Six Paths Worlds are about to descend into chaos too.”

Celestial Emperor Fei Yan chortled, she turned to Bai Canghai and said, “Look at this, look at this. Fuxi sure is better at talking.”

Bai Canghai was also overjoyed, “Comet Star Creators? Brother Zhong, by then, I’ll be stronger than you!”

The Fuxi was no other than Zhong Yue’s past body, he smiled and answered, “By then, I will still need your power to help me.”

Celestial Emperor Bi Xie suddenly said, “Zhong Yue of the Zhong Shan Clan, I never thought you would be the Fuxi. You said I wasn’t better than Bi Xie, but do you still think so now? I can rain chaos in the Zi Wei Galaxy, but can Bi Xie?”

Zhong Yue turned, he looked at Celestial Emperor Bi Xie for a moment before quickly turning to Consort Tian Si and asking, “You’ve asked for me, what do you seek?”

Celestial Emperor Bi Xie’s face turned dark and gloomy, he asked, “Zhong Yue, what do you think of my achievements!?”

Zhong Yue didn’t answer.

But the Deity Emperors beside him turned dark and gloomy, except for one. Heavenly King Lu was still smiling as he said, “Brother Bi Xie, please don’t make random jokes. Although you have the six Saint Spirits, you aren’t a genuine Innate Saint Spirit Body. Your achievements are just moderately fine in our master’s eyes. After all, our master has been traveling across all 3,000 Six Paths Worlds. I must say, even the Realm Monarchs can’t do any better than our master!”

Then, Monster Emperor Yuan Qi sneered coldly, “The experts master has seen and met over the years are all better than you. How dare you proclaim yourself better than the fellow Daoist of master?”

Celestial Emperor Bi Xie sneered back, “I rained chaos in the Zi Wei Galaxy, can your master do that? If the Fuxi Clan is really that strong, they won’t be hiding around like underground rats, running from their deaths.”

The Deity Emperors were infuriated but Zhong Yue gently raised his hand up and stopped them while still looking at Consort Tian Si.

Consort Tian Si calmed herself, she bowed and asked, “Can I have some time alone with Fuxi?”

Zhong Yue nodded and walked to a far end with her. After a long time walking, Consort Tian Si stopped and examined Zhong Yue. She could see the uncanny maturity that belied his appearance, it was as if this young Heavenly Deity had been seasoned with the vicissitudes of life.

Zhong Yue smiled placidly, “Miss Tian Si, why do you want to see me?”

Consort Tian Si said first, “I am already married, Fuxi can stop calling me Miss.”

Zhong Yue nodded, he said, “Then, Consort Tian Si it will be. Consort Tian Si, you are a human, but from your actions of stirring chaos in the Zi Wei Galaxy, you are working for someone, are you? This faction is strong enough to make you and Bi Xie bow and work for it, it must be extraordinary.”

Consort Tian Si nodded, she replied softly, “I am working for a monarch. He promised me that if he could be coronated as Heavenly Monarch, he would spare humanity from slavery and allow us to walk the universe again as free men and women!”

Hearing it, Zhong Yue immediately relaxed. He initially thought that Consort Tian Si would be working for Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s demon half, and Zhong Yue was worried about his identity getting exposed by Feng Wuji who was as well working under the same person as Consort Tian Si.

However, after listening to Consort Tian Si’s explanation, he knew that they weren’t serving Imperial Emperor Xian Tian. After all, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian was still not yet a monarch, he was just an Imperial Emperor.

“Consort…” Zhong Yue thought, “Don’t you worry that the master you are serving now will not keep his promise when his quest is fulfilled? Or even worse, exterminate the humans to hide the fact that he had assistance from the humans?”

Consort Tian Si lowered her head and answered bitterly, “But I really don’t have any other choice. No other race and faction will value us humans, let alone help us. Only he promised us… I really don’t have any better plan for now. Even when there is no guarantee of him keeping his promise, I will still have to give it a try! Thankfully, we didn’t just fully rely on him. My husband is also a human, a talent stronger than myself. Now, he is serving under another monarch-presence. We are betting on two sides, so we can have two glimpses of hope!”

“Your husband is serving another monarch-presence?” Zhong Yue startled. Suddenly, respect raised within him toward the husband and wife. They were both wise human, filled with wisdom but for the human race, they’ve given everything they have, including themselves.

“I heard there is a Human Sovereign in the Zi Wei Galaxy, why doesn’t consort serve under him?” Rays flashed across Zhong Yue’s eyes as he asked.

Consort Tian Si sneered coldly, she grinds her teeth and said, “Yan Sovereign Jiang Yiqi? This scum! He is filthy and greedy for wealth and power. He betrayed all humans and bent the knees to the for our enemies! With this trash commanding the human race, we will soon face destruction!”

Zhong Yue was stunned.

Consort Tian Si continued cursing, “He has given himself as a dog to Imperial Emperor Xian Tian, but even so, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian doesn’t trust him fully! There is also a King Yi, Yi Feng, said to be an advisor to Jiang Yiqi. But he is actually the true mastermind. Jiang Yiqi follows everything this Yi Feng says! Fuxi, if you’re heading for Zi Wei, never get in touch with Jiang Yiqi or he will sell you off mercilessly! As well as that Dog Yi, sly and cunning, wise yet nefarious, always be wary of him!”

Zhong Yue was dumbfounded, only able to regain his composure seconds later. He laughed and said, “I understand. Consort, you still have yet to mention why you are looking for me.”

Consort Tian Si turned silent. Everything she had said sounded important but they weren’t what she was here for him. And now, she was hesitant about whether to even state her true purpose to be here.

Moments later, when Zhong Yue turned to return, Consort Tian Si abruptly said, “If I help you become the ruler of this universe, will you give the humans a brighter future?”

Zhong Yue’s body shuddered, he stopped and turned to look at her. He wanted to see if she was truly trying to help earn the humans a future.

Consort Tian Si’s voice was trembling as she continued, “You are a Fuxi, you will gain enormous power when you grow to your peak, right? You can fight against all the other races and those sitting high up above all, right? I know the humans are Fuxi sealed from powers, you too are unwilling to resign, right? I can help you, the wisdom of humanity is able to help you…”

Zhong Yue was quiet for seconds; then, he turned and walked back toward Celestial Emperor Fei Yan and the others while replying, “Consort Tian Si, you are an intelligent lady, you should know that you shouldn’t put bet everything on me. You don’t know what is in front of me, the fight for the throne of the Heavenly Monarch? That is nothing compared to my true enemies. There are those above the Imperial Monarchs waiting for me ahead. If I succeed, I will surely grant the humans a bright future, but if I fail, my last wish is for the humans to go extinct with me. Do you understand what I am saying?”

Consort Tian Si was stunned, she understood.

Fuxi could help the humans, but the humans can’t place all their hopes on the Fuxi.

“Tian Si, he will break his promise even after you helped him gets the throne; because not even him, but none can fulfill it. The Heavenly Monarch is just the Son of Heaven, how can he grant the humans a future?”

Zhong Yue’s voice grew softer in her ears as he left, he sneered frigidly, “He is just using you, he doesn’t have the strength to help the humans.”

Consort Tian Si stood emotionlessly on the ground, it took her a long time to recollect her thoughts. And when she returned to find Celestial Emperor Fei Yan, Zhong Yue and his Deity Emperors have already left. She gave a long sigh.

Huh? Where is the Karmic Line Mister Yi gave me? All of a sudden, Consort Tian Si was shocked when she realized that the Karmic Line had gone missing.

Mister Yi kept back the Karmic Line! But if he is in Zi Wei, it’s impossible for him to retrieve it. Could it be, he is also here in the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds and is near the Yong Ming Six Paths World? Impossible, impossible, he can’t possibly be near here!

Totem patterns waltzed on her fingertips as she concocted Zhong Yue’s Karmic Line. She ran calculations on him and found him nowhere close to the Yong Ming Six Paths World.

If Mister Yi is not here, how did he retrieve the Karmic Line…?

Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind; as a result, her heart thumped uncontrollably and her body trembled violently, she quickly shook her head and thought, Impossible, impossible. They can’t be the same person…
