Rise of Humanity

The endless armies marched at Tian Hou Royal Race, equipped with massive siege weapons and armor. They quickly breached the gates and the ferocious soldiers rampaged across the sacred ground.

The Fusang Divine Tree and the many terrifying weapons unleashed a massacre among the sacred ground, twisting the dimension and shattering the Tian Hou Royal Race. They split the continents, caused planets to fall, and even crushed the sun into pieces!

“Move!”

“Hurry!”

Mo Yin angrily shouted as he reorganized the army. They left hurriedly and when they looked back, the Heavenly Suppression Fortress’ soldiers had already swarmed into the Tian Hou Royal Race.

The Heaven Court’s army fled hurriedly, and about ten days later, they arrived at a demon race allied to the Heaven Court called Blood Spirit Demon Race.

Just as Mo Yin wanted to have his men to rest and restock their supplies, a smithing sound was heard again. Without hesitation, Mo Yin quickly ordered his men and the Blood Spirit Demon Race to abandon the Blood Spirit sacred ground and retreat.

Half a year later, the Heaven Court’s army passed hundreds of sacred grounds, having now formed a massive army as they arrived at Pi Xiu Royal Race’s.

“Pi Xiu Royal Race, their daughter is in the Heaven Court. They could be considered as royal relatives. There are many experts in their clan, and with the addition of those we gathered along the way, we should be able to fight against the fortress’ army,” said Lou Zhengshi.

Mo Yin bit his lips and ordered the clan master of Pi Xiu Royal Race to not show himself, “Alright, we will stand our ground here and fight our way back into the fortress to kill King Yi! General Lou, hold the line while I set up the altar to weaken his fate!”

Just as Mo Yin had the altar set up, and before he could even start the ritual, a clamoring rose as the men they gathered throughout the way turned against them. They charged at the Heaven Court’s army, wreaking havoc in the city while light pillars descended from the skies as the Fusang Divine Tree crushed the city.

“Mister, we can’t hold any longer!”

Pan Ji and Lou Zhengshi dragged Mo Yin away as they shouted, “There are two Innate Saint Spirit Bodies, one of them is Goddess Xuan and the other is the man in a white robe, they are both casting and wielding our soldiers and weapons, greatly disrupting our formation!”

Anger consumed Mo Yin and the anger started causing damage inside his body, causing him to vomit blood.

In about a year’s time, the army retreated from the fortress all the way back into the Imperial Granary. Throughout the way, there were many sacred grounds and strongholds that were allied with the Heaven Court, yet they were all effortlessly destroyed and captured by Zhong Yue’s army!

Upon seeing the Imperial Granary, Mo Yin could no longer hold himself together and with blood gushing out of his mouth, he fainted. Lou Zhengshi and the others quickly helped him treat his injuries and they thought, Ghost Master has crossed the line. His greed caused this ultimate defeat. If he did not recklessly charge into the enemy’s ranks and just cooperated with us, Mister Mo would have led us into victory… No wonder Mister Mo is so angry that he even suffered a backlash….

Under the treatment of the Imperial Emperors, Mo Yin’s consciousness returned to him and they were all in Imperial Granary now. They started organizing themselves and set up camps to fight against the Heavenly Suppression Fortress’ army.

Smithing sounds could be heard again, suggesting that the fortress’ army had arrived and Old Man Xuan and Qi were forging counter weapons for them.

Mo Yin remained silent for a second before he hopelessly said, “Gentlemen, the Imperial Granary is lost, we can’t defend it anymore. I am to blame for Ghost Master’s death, His Majesty ordered Old Man Xuan and Qi and I to replace Ghost Master to command the army. Little did we know that Ghost Master was so stubborn that not only did he lose his life, he even buried the greatest chance we had to breach the fortress. Now, we are on the verge of being defeated, we retreated all the way to the Imperial Granary and if we lose this place, the last stop will be the Imperial Star itself!”

Everyone remained silent for the ultimate defeat was entirely unexpected. They did not know they would be defeated that easily.

Mo Yin sighed, “His Majesty will have to take my head for this defeat. If you think that I was a good comrade, please let me go as I walk away from the camp. My suggestion to you all is that you too start fleeing and search for a better way out from this mess.”

With that, he struggled to get up and limped away.

Lou Zhengshi and the others’ minds went blank upon his words and Pan Ji quickly halted Mo Yin and smiled, “Mister, wait! His Majesty is a wise king and he will definitely not blame you for this. Besides, Mister Mo is not to be blamed for the defeat, it was Ghost Master that caused all of these. We will definitely speak up for you and report whatever happened clearly to His Majesty, please don’t go.”

The other generals also advised him, “Mister Mo, if you leave us, who will be able to fight against King Yi? Please stay with us!”

Lou Zhengshi also said, “Mister Mo, are you willing to watch as billions of gods walk to their deaths? Please stay with us and we will speak up for you in front of His Majesty. We will all take on the responsibility so that His Majesty wouldn’t blame you for this!”

Mo Yin kept quiet and after some time, he sighed, “Fine, I will stay! But if His Majesty wants to kill me, I hope that you will let me leave by then.”

Lou Zhengshi and the others frowned, “Mister, can’t we defend the Imperial Granary?”

He nodded and said, “Retreat.”

“Mister, any more and it will be the Imperial Star!”

“Retreat!” said Mo Yin again after some time.

Without any option left, the generals gave out the order to clear out the entire Imperial Granary, burn the resources that they could not take with them and retreat back into the Imperial Star. Zhong Yue chased after them with his army and after ten days, a massive planet appeared before them.

They’ve arrived at the Imperial Star.

“Imperial Star, Heaven Court… Order, set up the camp!”

Zhong Yue looked forward and smiled as he looked at the star, “Imperial Star is really a rich planet, if we can take over the star, the Heaven Court will be right in our grasps. Ladies and gentlemen, let us have a rest and give me a hand in forging a weapon before we meet with the warriors of Imperial Star!”

The Heavenly Suppression Fortress’ army then set up the camps right outside of the Imperial Star, the gods lifted up one after another Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace, captured the stars and threw them into the Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace to melt them down to build a fortress right beside the Imperial Star and name it the Heaven Breaching Fortress.

With their combined efforts, a massive and grand fortress was built and the silver fortress stood high and firm.

Meanwhile, Mo Yin and the remaining soldiers camped at the Heavenly River and stood their ground there.

Lou Zhengshi and the other generals then reported back to the Heaven Court, telling the Heavenly Monarch about the battle that forced them back into the Imperial Star, shocking the entire star and the other army divisions from the Heaven Court. The Heaven Court then hurriedly sent out reinforcements.

With an order, the Heavenly Monarch rewarded the remaining soldiers to encourage them, and promoted Mo Yin into the commander taking charge of the whole situation.

With the power granted to him, Mo Yin reassigned new tasks to the army and prepared for another battle.

From the Heaven Breaching Fortress came smithing noise again, raising the curiosity in Mo Yin, What is King Yi trying to forge this time? Could it be weapons to counter us? Or are they trying to create weapons that counter the future monarchs before they turn into real headaches so that they could have the future for their own?

In the fortress, the soldiers all cast avatars, and the now gigantic soldiers lifted up the Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace and kept them burning strongly!

There was another batch of gods on the side that maintained the wind pressure and blew wind into the furnace. A few thousand Deity Emperors and hundreds of Creators refined the White Luminant Gold.

Then, there were a few Imperial Emperors that drew in the water from the Heavenly River to further enhance the White Luminant Gold.

Again and again, these men forged one after another metal piece without any impurities.

Old Man Xuan and Qi set up their smithing equipments again while two old Imperial Emperors assisted Zhong Yue personally. With Stone Sentinel Maze activated, Zhong Yue gathered the strength of the Xian Tian Royal Guards and slammed the hammer downwards hardly!

Beside him, Imperial Emperor Fu Li placed one after another White Luminant Gold beneath the hammer and with each hammering, a fire spark was created and a divine weapon was slowly taking shape.

Zhong Yue was reforging Tian Pan!

Back then, Zhong Yue forged a half completed Tian Pan to win the bet against XQES but the disc was destroyed during the monarchs’ calculation.

The Tian Pan back then was simply forged by Zhong Yue, the material used was just ordinary steel. Now, he chose the most solid White Luminant Gold, and with the aid of the Imperial Emperors, Creators, Deity Emperors and countless soldiers, he was determined to forge the most perfect Tian Pan!

As he continued hammering, the dimensions around the Imperial Star trembled, the Heavenly River raged and heaven and earth’s Daos surged from the void and flowed into the hammer in his hand.

In the Imperial Star, the many gods looked around in puzzlement.

“What is that?”

Many of them were dumbfounded by a silver city appearing out from nowhere right outside of the Imperial Star.

This silver city was created in just one night and that was something anyone could do!

Meanwhile, as Mo Yin was observing the movements in the Heaven Breaching Fortress, two people appeared by his side. When he took a look, he quickly knelt down, “Your Majesty, Your Highness!”

Lou Zhengshi and the others got out from the tent and they all knelt down on one knee.

Heavenly Monarch Di Ming and Queen Goddess had descended onto the camp and they were both looking at the fortress, when they arrived the others did not know.

“Stand,” said Heavenly Monarch Di Ming emotionlessly. He looked into the skies after shifting his attention from the fortress.

The generals got up and Mo Yin asked, “Your Majesty and Your Highness, will you be dealing with King Yi personally?”

Queen Goddess smiled, “Xian Tian Palace’s Mister Yi must be punished with death for fighting all the way to our Imperial Star. But it is not easy to kill him.”

The generals were confused by her reply.

Heavenly Monarch Di Ming looked into the skies still and after some time, he asked, “What do you think, my queen?”

Queen Goddess too, looked into the skies and said, “I also felt some abnormal movements but with my eyes, I could only see a vague figure.”
