Rise of Humanity

Above the Heavenly River, the power of time and space suddenly surged vibrantly and a beam of light blasted out from its center.

Zhong Yue and Yin Fan Xuan were embodied in the light beam and when the beam dispersed, they found themselves free-falling into the Heavenly River, sucked toward the waves of starlight.

Any single surge of the starlights was more than capable of killing even a Deity Emperor. If they were to drown in it, they would be dead for sure.

Yin Fanxuan quickly released Zhong Yue and brought out a divine weapon, but even the divine weapon was quickly shattered into pieces against the Heavenly River’s raging tides.

Yin Fanxuan frowned, they were sent back to the present from the past, there weren’t any divine ships designed to sail in the Heavenly River with them. Death seemed to be an inevitability at this point for them.

She tried everything, but even her arts were crushed away by the Heavenly River in an instant.

Beads of cold sweat rolled down Yin Fanxuan’s forehead, she had just cast out a Deity Overlord divine weapon, which turned into specks of dust in the Heavenly River in just a second.

After all, this was the Heavenly River. The waters were the flow of starlights and the sands the heavily compressed stars. Any single element in the Heavenly River carried powers strong enough to destroy them both.

Shit, the stronger divine weapons are out of my ability to wield. The only thing that can keep us safe is the [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture] imparted to us by the Fuxi clan master. Only by cultivating it to a certain level can we teleport ourselves out of this Heavenly River.

Yin Fanxuan’s heart turned cold as she thought, But I’m just taught about it, there’s no way I can even cast it now…

Seeing the two falling into the river, Zhong Yue suddenly raised his hand and placed it above the river surface. A mirror rose from his palm, expanding bigger and floating above the waters, carrying them on it so they wouldn’t fall into the river.

It was the Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror.

The Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror was a treasure forged by Heavenly Monarch Tian Yuan; although it was flawed, it was more than sufficient to resist the Heavenly River’s destructive power.

The two of them fell into the Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror and Yin Fanxuan glanced around curiously. At first impression, the mirror looked just like an ordinary divine mirror, but now it appeared that there was actually a vast space with mountains and rivers inside of the mirror.

Yin Fanxuan looked around and calculated, and she realized that even with the two of them together, it was impossible to power the huge divine mirror at all.

The divine mirror itself looked just like a minor Heaven!

If we can’t power it, won’t it mean we’ll have to wander in the Heavenly River forever? She sighed fretfully.

But what surprised her most was there were living creatures in this mirror space, tens of thousand gods!

“Master!” Shi Buyi in his nine-headed lion true form flew over, he bowed and greeted.

Then, he looked at Zhong Yue and Yin Fanxuan in shock; the two were still wearing the red clothes of marriage, it was clear that they were married not long ago!

“Madam!” Shi Buyi immediately bowed and greeted Yin Fanxuan again.

Yin Fanxuan blushed like a tomato and quickly answered, “We are married, but I’m not his wife. Don’t misunderstand anything!”

Shi Buyi was puzzled, not understanding what she meant exactly. It was at this time that Old Man Six Paths brought Husan Weng and came forth, they bowed and greeted, “Master Zhong, Mrs Zhong.”

“Master Zhong? Mrs Zhong?” Yin Fanxuan asked puzzlingly, “Shouldn’t it be Mister Yi and Mrs Yi… Wait, no, no! We are married but I am not his wife…”

“Then you are a concubine?” Husan Weng exclaimed in shock, “When did Master Zhong get a wife? Why didn’t we know?”

The three looked at one another, baffled.

Anger rose in Yin Fanxuan’s heart, she turned to Zhong Yue and questioned, “You have a wife? Why didn’t you say so before?”

Suddenly, tens of thousand godly rays shot across the sky and landed on the ground as tens of thousand gods. They all harbored great power in them and they bowed, “We greet Master Zhong and Mrs Zhong!”

Yin Fanxuan blushed, she opened her mouth and wanted to explain, but waved her hand soon after and instead said, “Rise. Your master is now tired and exhausted, he has no heart for entertaining you guys right now. You may leave.”

The gods stood up, they answered in unison, “We thank Mrs Zhong.”

Yin Fanxuan sighed and she thought, Let them be then. Wearing these red clothes, I sure look like I’m just married…

The crowd dispersed while Shi Buyi, Old Man Six Paths, and Husan Weng lead Zhong Yue and Yin Fanxuan into a divine palace. Zhong Yue sat down and asked them to leave.

Yin Fanxuan looked at Zhong Yue and mulled. She wanted to ask why the gods were calling him ‘Master Zhong’, but thought that she shouldn’t interrupt him now. Thus, she walked out of the divine palace and left Zhong Yue alone.

He is a Fuxi, I can feel it. He is a Fuxi not a reincarnated innate god. If he was indeed a reincarnated innate god, he wouldn’t have had so much emotions linked to the Fuxi clan master.

Yin Fanxuan sighed in her heart and thought, Father, you married me to a Fuxi….

The marriage was executed by my father, if he knows that my husband is a Fuxi, a real Fuxi, he would immediately call to annul the marriage. By then, I would be no part of his life and I will be free… Should I tell father about this? But if I do, my father’s big mouth would spread it across the universe, wouldn’t that leave Mister Yi in a very dangerous position?

She was vexed. She was less than happy about the marriage, trying to separate herself from Zhong Yue; but why was it that now she found a way to leave, she somewhat felt a little unwilling?

That must be it, I am, after all, a lady. I’ve been told since young that whoever I am married to, I will spend the rest of my life with him. The marriage between us made me think that I am his wife already. It must be like this, it’s not that I like him! As long as I confront the true feelings in my heart and disregard the extraneous thoughts, I will be able to follow the decision of my heart.

Yin Fanxuan smiled, she was the strongest female Deity and an Innate Saint Spirit Body, it was impossible for her thoughts to cloud her heart.

As she disregarded the many thoughts running through her mind and confronted her true feelings in her heart, she suddenly shivered in shock and her mind became confused again, No, no, these aren’t my true feelings! Yes, it must be. I’ve witnessed his adversities, and my maternal instincts wanted to care for him. I just need to see the evil in him and my instinctual feelings for him will naturally disperse.

In the divine palace, Zhong Yue had been sitting in the same position for a long time before the vibrant energy returned to his eyes. He stood up and walked out of the divine palace to see an angry Yin Fanxuan, he asked puzzlingly, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing!” Yin Fanxuan saw him walking out and she grew even more anxious, she quickly stood up and looked at him. She frowned, “Why are you still wearing the red clothes? Quickly change it, your people have all misunderstood.”

Zhong Yue nodded and changed his clothes. Yin Fanxuan also changed her bride’s red clothes, but just as she was going to destroy it, for some inexplicable reason, she suddenly to keep it inside of her Yuan Shen secret realms.

“I plan to study the [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture] he has imparted to us. Fanxuan, do you want to come together?” Zhong Yue asked.

Yin Fanxuan nodded, she asked, “Anywhere to go?”

Zhong Yue held her hand and flew toward the center of the Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror, he said, “It’s a marvelous place built by Heavenly Monarch Tian Yuan. The flow of time in it is different from the real world, a moment out there is equal to a thousand years in here. But the benefits are that it won’t expend our lifespan. We may just be able to study the [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture] to a certain level in it.”

Yin Fanxuan wanted to flick his hand away, but when she thought of him not only holding her hands before but doing even more things to her during the night they were married, she suddenly stopped.

The two entered the maze and Zhong Yue led her to the Six Paths Reincarnations built by Heavenly Monarch Tian Yuan.

“Who’s your first wife?” Yin Fanxuan suddenly asked.

“What?” Zhong Yue didn’t hear it clearly and asked.

“Nothing.”

The two sat down and studied the [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture] on their own. The Fuxi Clan Master Feng Changyang was surely a great talent. The [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture] he acquired was incomplete, but even so, he was able to cultivate it to a mystical level, even making further improvement to the [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture].

His idea was to return from the ‘present’ back to the ‘past’ and search for that evil existence’s independent world, then kill the evil existence in that independent world.

That way, although the bloodline seals were still in effect to the future Fuxi, they wouldn’t be dragged into the independent world and be met with the evil existence when they start lifting the bloodline seals.

As such, even when there wouldn’t be anymore Fuxi from birth, there would still be the human talents that could lift the bloodline seals through cultivation to eventually evolve into a Fuxi.

Continuation of the Fuxi Celestial Race would be ensured.

The plan was doable, the evil existence was not as strong a hundred thousand years ago. It was now so strong that defeating him seemed to be impossible, even facing him alone would bring despair to any challenger. Thus, his only chance was to return to the time a hundred thousand years ago, when he was not as strong as he was today.

The [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture] given by Feng Changyang was completed with the Six Paths Reincarnations. In comparison, when the [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture] was created by Monarch Haoyi, the Six Paths Reincarnations wasn’t created yet; thus, making the cultivation technique a little lacking in today’s standards.

Feng Changyang’s idea was to use the [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture] against the evil presence a hundred thousand years ago. To drag the evil presence into his Six Paths, to trap him in his Reincarnation and kill him from within.

In order to do it, one must have an intimate level of understanding in both the time and space totem patterns. Such a level of understanding was even higher than Monarch Haoyi’s, and higher than the evil presence’s!

However, even this Fuxi clan master couldn’t complete the technique. After all, the [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture] he had acquired was incomplete.

Thus, he hid his ideology in it, hoping that a future Fuxi would be able to pick up from where he left off.

Whereas Zhong Yue had the [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture], the flaw to which Feng Changyang was needing.

If only he had met with Xin Huo, he would’ve gotten the complete [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture] and the evil presence in the independent world a hundred thousand years ago would be long gone already?

Zhong Yue sighed, he suddenly said, “Fanxuan, the cultivation technique you’ve been imparted with is incomplete, I’ll teach you the complete one now. Help me study it, and we might just be able to fix each other’s flaws, at the least, I need your Innate Saint Spirit Body to help complete mine.”

Then, he imparted the complete [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture] to Yin Fanxuan. Yin Fanxuan was shocked and quickly referred to the two cultivation techniques, surely enough, she found some discrepancies between them.

But just how would they combine the two cultivation techniques into one would depend on their comprehension and intelligence.

The two studied the cultivation techniques and exchanged their findings from time to time, completing each other’s flaws.

Yin Fanxuan had the Saint Spirit Body; she was bestowed with an affinity to that Dao that others couldn’t compare with. Thus, her comprehension speed was much faster than her peers.

However, Zhong Yue had the divinatory cultivation technique, making his comprehension speed even faster than hers!

Yin Fanxuan was shocked and put in all her efforts to surpass Zhong Yue.

It was at this moment that a ship sailed through the Heavenly River. Feng Wuji was standing on the deck of the ship and watching in great excitement as they were drawing nearer to the State of Panhu.

“There’s a mirror in the river!” Suddenly, Kua Fujin said curiously.

Feng Wuji looked at the mirror and was joyed, he shouted, “Fish it up!”
