Rise of Humanity

Kua Fumou did not hesitate before leaping away. Before the light pillar reached them, he jumped onto an expanding planet and with another jump, landed on another planet. Just like a toad, he jumped away quickly.

His speed increased drastically and with a loud explosion, he rammed into the void and vanished.

After he fled for a very long distance from the Heavenly River, Kua Fumou stopped after seeing nothing chasing behind them with a pounding heart. As he stopped, sorrow overwhelmed him and he cried, “Big sis is dead! This damn Mister Yi! I will not rest until I kill you!”

“Shut up!”

Feng Wuji shouted and said with a gloomy expression, “Things have gone sideways for us. That existence asked me to request aid from a Fuxi to capture Zhong Yue. And Feng Qingyu is who we get. In the end, just because he is a reincarnated Imperial Emperor, this fool underestimated his opponent and died by Mister Yi’s hand. Now that we’ve failed, I am ashamed to report back to the existence, what do we do now….”

Kua Fumou shouted, “Mister Wuji, I want to avenge my sister!”

“That is not the main priority now. Our biggest concern is how to complete the mission. I can embarrass myself but I must not put shame to my master.”

Feng Wuji gritted, “Damn this Feng Qingyu! If he actually waited for us, everything would’ve gone exactly as we planned! That ignorant bastard cost us everything with his arrogance!”

Kua Fumou frowned, “Mister Wuji, what now? With Feng Qingyu’s whereabouts and situation unknown now, we can’t report back to the Fuxi as well…..”

Feng Wuji recollected his mind and said, “Now, our only way out is to tell those unworldly world’s Fuxi what happened.”

“Aren’t we asking for it if he turns back? With Feng Qingyu missing in action, those Fuxi will blame us for that and will probably kill us when we report this news to them! Besides, without your teacher’s token, how are we supposed to enter their territory?”

Feng Wuji replied, “They will not dare to harm us and about that token, all I have to do is ask for it from my teacher again. Go and find Consort Tian Si and no matter what you do, you need to make her help me. If she refuses, kill all the humans under her! I will go to the Tu Yu Palace.”

Kua Fumou nodded and he flew towards his new target right away.

Feng Wuji headed straight to the Tu Yu Palace and thought, The Tu Yu Palace is very far away and I need a few years to get there and another few more years time to come back. I will let you live for another few more years, Zhong Yue…..

Meanwhile, in the skies above the Heavenly River, the power of the mirror dispersed.

Zhong Yue retrieved his psyche back and right away, he felt that his brain was hollow as he completely drained his psyche; though he had Yin Fanxuan’s psyche to support him, it was still a burden to him granted his situation now.

As their psyche and mind detached, the amazing feeling disappeared and Yin Fanxuan felt a little down that the feeling was gone.

“Mister Yi, you never told me why did gods under you address you as Master Zhong.” Yin Fanxuan suddenly said.

Zhong Yue replied, “Mister Yi is just a fake identity. My true surname is Zhong. I’ve caused a lot of trouble in the 3,000 Six Paths World, making it difficult for me to walk in the Zi Wei Galaxy, hence, the fake identity.”

“Which means that this is not how you really look like?” asked Yin Fanxuan, “Can I see your true appearance?”

Zhong Yue hesitated and after a few seconds, he removed his disguise and Yin Fanxuan blushed as she looked at his face, “You are a little bit wilder and less elegant than Mister Yi, but I think it’s very nice.”

Zhong Yue laughed as he put on his disguise again and he said, “It’s just a disguise.”

Yin Fanxuan compared his original look and his disguise in her mind again and she said, “Your real face is a little bit more trustworthy and real. Mister Yi looks hollow and vague. While Mister Yi seems very friendly, he also seems very distant as well. His gaze also gives me an uneasy feeling. When will you walk in this world with your real face again?”

Zhong Yue remained silent and upon seeing this, Yin Fanxuan said nothing more, only concentrating on getting back to the State of Heavenly River with Zhong Yue.

After some time, Yin Fanxuan depleted her energy and rested on another star and this time, Zhong Yue’s wounds were also gradually recovering. The lady looked at Zhong Yue again and when she couldn’t help but smile, she giggled, “Show me your real face again.”

Zhong Yue was puzzled but that did not stop him from granting the lady’s little wish. He said, “My identity must not be known to the world or I will be doomed. After this, I will have to put on my disguise again.”

“I know.” said Yin Fanxuan again curiously as she examined his face, “What did you do? Is it because of your Fuxi bloodline? This is your true form and Fuxi is also your true form. What do you look like in your Fuxi True Form?”

Zhong Yue got a headache over the thousand questions from the curious lady and after putting his disguise again, he said, “I am the number one wanted criminal in the 3,000 Six Paths World. They’ve already discovered that I am a Fuxi and have reported this to the Zi Wei Imperial Star, Heavenly Monarch and Imperial Emperor Xian Tian.”

Yin Fanxuan smiled and said, “You are really brave for still serving under Imperial Emperor Xian Tian after your identity as a Fuxi has been made known. But your true face is really not bad-looking.”

Zhong Yue scoffed and did not respond to her comment.

Yin Fanxuan also knew that she had talked too much. After a rest, she continued moving towards the State of Heavenly River and this time, she was at the border but she had no more energy.

The lady notified her people right away and a moment later, a ship sailed out of the state and welcomed them back.

“My son-in-law, how was the battle?”

Yin Bokang walked out and said happily, “The results?”

“I did not let you down, he was no match for me.”

Yin Fukang patted his shoulder strongly and praised, “And that is the son-in-law I’ve personally picked! Are you hurt? Worry not, with the many godly medicines in we Yinkang Clan, you will be able to recover in no time!”

Meanwhile, Yin Fanxuan taught the way to remove the seals in their bloodline to her people in Zhong Yue’s place, allowing them to remove their seals on their own and the Yinkang Clan was very happy about it.

Although we were trapped within the State of Heavenly River, it might be a good thing in a way as we wouldn’t be dragged into the chaos outside. But now, after our seals were removed, war is inevitable. How many lives will be lost?

Yin Fanxuan looked at her happy clan members and thought, Did I do the right thing?

She sought advice from her father and asked, “Father, we will be dragged into the chaos after removing our seals. Should we seal the State of Heavenly River and prohibit our disciples from exiting to protect ourselves?”

“Impossible,” replied Yin Fukang.

“Why?”

“Our Yinkang Clan is, after all, the monarch race. If chaos descends onto this world, everyone will try to obtain our support and even if we show no intention of fighting, they will still keep an eye on us.”

Right now, Yin Fukang shed his usual carefree tone and said earnestly, “Even if you don’t seek trouble, trouble will still come to you. As long as we are still a monarch race, we will not be able to remain as bystanders. Instead of being forcefully dragged into war unprepared, it’s better that we prepare ourselves beforehand.”

Yin Fanxuan stunned and shouted, “You think that Imperial Emperor Xian Tian will triumph over his enemies?”

“No, I have hope in my son-in-law, not the Imperial Emperor.”

Yin Fanxuan thought of something and nodded.

Half a month later, Zhong Yue’s injuries had recovered and he felt that his Innate Yin and Yang Dao were trembling from time to time as they showed signs of forming.

The happy Zhong Yue then thought, I probably need half a year time to achieve these two innate Dao. As for the others, I’ll need to work harder.

Upon thinking of this, Yin Fanxuan found him and told him what her father had told her, which caught Zhong Yue off guard as he never thought that the wild and rude man would have such wise thoughts. He said, “The head of a huge clan really shouldn’t be underestimated. Each and every one of them is cunning in their own ways.”

Yin Fanxuan was a little worried and Zhong Yue comforted her, “If you’re worried about your clan, I can divorce you.”

“Divorce me? How dare you!” Yin Fanxuan smirked, “It should be I who divorce you! Do you think you can beat me?”

Zhong Yue choked and when he wanted to talk back, he realized that he was indeed no match for her so he said, “If I fight with my full strength, you might not be able to win me.”

Yin Fanxuan smiled and replied, “It’s not that I’ve fallen for you, but since you and I are married, and that you saved my clan by helping us to remove the seals, I will repay our debt. I will not divorce you and you will not divorce me!”

Zhong Yue considered for a moment but without giving a confirmation, he said, “I need to head out to see a senior martial brother and meet the other people from different races. You wait for me here….”

“I’ll go with you!”

The lady said excitingly and as she walked away, she said, “How can we visit them with an empty hand? We have to prepare some presents. Fortunately, our Yinkang Clan possesses quite some valuable items suitable to be gifted as gifts. I’ll ask my father to prepare some so that we won’t embarrass you.”

Not long later, she returned and said, “The presents are prepared and the ride is readied. We can leave anytime now.”

Zhong Yue frowned and said, “If that senior martial brother that I’m meeting sees you….”

Da da da—

Gallops were heard and Zhong Yue turned around, only to see a few marvelous black Kirins pulling an extravagant carriage towards them with the old Demon Overlord, Yin Yunkang controlling the carriage that had heavenly clouds floating around and a sun and moon circling around the clouds.

In the interior was a scroll picture of the Yinkang Clan gods, two main seats and there was a bow and sword decoration hanging in the carriage. There were also four white crane monster gods in the carriage, each carrying a perfume cauldron.

The top of the carriage could be opened and Zhong Yue was amazed; Yin Fanxuan boarded the carriage with him and with a shout, Yin Yunkang controlled the carriage and headed towards their destination.

Zhong Yue thought for a while and said, “Fanxuan, once we get there, don’t get into the mountain. Just stay beneath the mountain. Remember, do not get in there…. By the way, what is that talented senior martial brother from your clan that was kidnapped?”

“That one who was caught by that white-robed madman?” Yin Fanxuan gritted and said, “His name is Yin Shixuan, one of the most talented individuals in our clan. Damn this madman!”
