Zhong Yue replied, “Even if you didn’t come, I still would’ve gone to the Zi Wei Galaxy. Don’t worry, I have my own way of hiding my identity.”

He had always planned on creating Gu Yue. His old self would continue to walk the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds, diverting their and the Zi Wei Galaxy’s attention away from his true self. Meanwhile, Zhong Yue would be free to begin a new adventure in the Zi Wei Galaxy.

This plan had come into motion since he acquired Goddess Hou Tu’s ancestral blood. However back then, he had yet to cultivate the innate mortal body and separate himself into the old him and true him, just like Goddess Hou Tu and Goddess Shen Hou.

But since that was achieved, he now had the confidence to enter and survive the Zi Wei Galaxy.

Although, before I head over for Zi Wei, I need to change my appearance and adopt a new identity.

Zhong Yue pondered, then he remembered Feng Shouzhu who died in place of Feng Shang and Feng Shang who fought his life for humanity’s peace. A thought rose within his mind and he smiled, “In Zi Wei, I will take the surname of Yi and the name of Feng. Time is no friend, Elder Yiqi, let us begin the journey now.”

“Oh no, I dare not be called an elder by the Fuxi; just Yiqi will do,” Jiang Yiqi hesitated, he turned toward the old clan master who nodded back at him and the old clan master said, “Since cousin you’ve said that you have the confidence, then be careful on your own. However, after my death, don’t forget our promise.”

The old clan master was worried about Zhong Yue’s safety in the Zi Wei Galaxy, and so he made sure to remind Zhong Yue about their promise, giving the latter a reason to return.

Zhong Yue also knew this. Hence, he bowed and thanked the old clan master.

Right after, two silhouettes walked into the portal and teleported toward the Bo Luo Six Paths World.

The old clan master watched as they left, he sighed in his heart and summoned the dragon elders. “After my death, the outsiders will begin their invasion. Be prepared, a grueling battle lies ahead of us, blood will be shed and many lives will be lost. The outsiders are not to be tolerated in our last sanctuary!”

The elders nodded and left in preparations.

…

Half a year later, Zhong Yue and Jiang Yiqi arrived in the Bo Luo Six Paths World. Jiang Yiqi smiled, he said, “Fuxi… Yi Feng, our journey will become incredibly treacherous. We still have a long way to go, at least 7 years before we arrive in Zi Wei. A long and harrowing journey, but it is the only path to Zi Wei. The gods called it the Heaven’s Starry Road. It will take us through the ancient teleportation formations and into the ancient universe before finally leading us to Zi Wei.”

“Starry Road? Ancient universe?” Zhong Yue was puzzled.

Jiang Yiqi laughed, “The universe we are in now is the new universe. The 3,000 Six Paths Worlds are relatively new, they were only created 220,000 years ago by the ancient cultivators. The cultivators before then all lived in the ancient universe. That is also the innate gods’ origins, the ancient Lei Zhe, Hua Xu and others were born there. It was only after the creation of the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds that the ancient Lei Zhe and Hua Xu migrated out from it and entered the new universe. The teleportation formations along our way were all built by the ancient experts, it leads us to Zi Wei. Without them, even an Imperial Emperor wouldn’t be able to travel to Zi Wei on his own.”

Zhong Yue knew nothing at all before this, and so Jiang Yiqi’s exposition was particularly eye-opening for him.

Just right before they entered the teleportation formation, Zhong Yue’s heart pounced an extra beat and he suddenly smiled.

Gu Yue was also here in the Bo Luo Six Paths World, heading toward the Elemental Realm in search of Heavenly King Fu. He planned to invite the Innate Blessing Spirit Body to aid him in his quest.

With Heavenly King Fu by my side, I will be able to stay safe and secure in the lower realms . Zhong Yue thought, The greater my presence in the lower realms, the safer I will be in Zi Wei.

At the same time, Gu Yue had arrived in the Elemental Realm of the Bo Luo Six Paths Wo Six Paths World. The Bi Xie Rhino carriage brought him toward Heavenly King Lu’s courtyard, he thought, Since I will be in the higher realm, the more ruckus I cause in the lower realms, the safer I am in the higher realm. What a pity, I can’t have Xin Huo by my side. But that’s alright, my true self is in greater danger, he will be safer if Xin Huo is by his side.

When the old Zhong Yue found out where Heavenly King Fu stayed, he didn’t rush to it right away; but instead, he crushed the courtyard of a Heavenly Deity and battered the victim to a half-dead state before leaving.

“So this is not where Heavenly King Fu stays.” Before leaving, Zhong Yue shook his head and said in disappointment, “Heavenly King Fu is a loyal one, he has been serving me well. Now that he has been banished from his usual post, I should make sure that he doesn’t suffer. But where could be?”

Then, he did the same thing to ten over Heavenly Deities. Immediately, word began to spread around the Elemental Realm and the rumor was delivered from level after level, finally up to the Realm Lord.

It was only then that Gu Yue headed for Heavenly King Fu.

Heavenly King Lu’s Plague God Courtyard was isolated from the other residences. Because he was now the Plague God, no one else wanted to stay or even get close to him at all. Everyone knew Heavenly King Fu was once a valued subject to Realm Monarch Bo Luo, but he made a big mistake, infuriating the Realm Monarch.

Especially after Zhong Yue plundered Realm Monarch Bo Luo’s treasure vault and indirectly injured him, Heavenly King Fu was truly stuck in a quagmire.

Thus, there was simply no way out for Heavenly King Fu anymore.

When Gu Yue arrived in the Plague God Courtyard, there were only a few house servants who were only Qi Practitioners; there weren’t any gods that were under Heavenly King Fu.

He who was Realm Monarch Bo Luo’s valued subject had thousands over gods under his lead during his prime days of serving in the Heaven Court; but now as he was banished, not a single one of them was willing to serve under him anymore!

Gu Yue walked straight into the Plague God Courtyard and laughed loudly, “Heavenly King Fu, an old friend has come to visit!”

Heavenly King Fu heard Gu Yue’s voice and his heart skipped a beat. When the Heavenly King whose wife and daughter were walking behind him saw Zhong Yue, he immediately put up a smile and clasped his fists together, “Lord Yue! Why are you so free to come and visit me? Oh, look at me, forgetful as always. Lord Yue, please wait for a moment, I have something for you.”

As he finished, he turned and walked into his room, removed his two round divine hammers from the wall and walked out with the same smile. It was then only his face grew terrifyingly ugly and he roared with the two round hammers raised high up, “Don’t stop me! I will kill this little prick!”

Then, his wife and daughter slipped to the sides and giggled.

The furious Heavenly King Fu surged his arcane energy into his two round hammers and shouted, “The fire of revenge burns vigorous in me, none shall stop me!”

Shi Qie’er and his wife were still on the sides as if they were watching a movie.

Heavenly King Fu glanced at them, he lowered the hammers and said, “Stop me, please?”

His wife chortled, “Husband, you said to not stop me, so how are we daring enough to defy your will? Ever since your banishment, you’ve been honing your hammers, saying that one day when you see Lord Yue again, you will kill this little prick. Now that he is here, your dream is now within arm’s reach.”

Heavenly King Fu lowered his reddened face, he said, “He is a Fuxi, and numerous hidden experts stand by his side. Even Realm Monarch Bo Luo suffered grave wounds in front of them just trying to keep him in imprisonment. If I kill him, we will all die. So, stop me? Please?”

His wife and Shi Qie’er immediately rushed over and laid on the ground, one grabbed on his left feet and the other the right feet. They were sobbing and weeping, “Please, please, calm down, please!”

Heavenly King Fu grew furious again, he raised the hammers high up and chided, “Lucky prick! If it weren’t for my wife and daughter that pleaded me to spare your petty life, I’d bash you into minced meat!”

Gu Yue snickered, “Heavenly King Fu, before I come, I’ve paid a friendly visit to some 14 Heavenly Deities and battered them to a near-death state. I told them I was looking for you, I had the wrong place, and I also told them you are my subject. Those Heavenly Deities should’ve notified the Realm Lord by now. I suppose they’re now on their way toward you now.”

Heavenly King Fu’s face contorted, he raised his hammers and rushed at Gu Yue while his wife and Shi Qie’er held on his legs and stopped him. He shouted angrily, “LET GO, I’ll kill him today!”

“Please, calm down!”

“I am serious now!” Heavenly King Fu stomped his feet, he chided, “This prick is an embodiment of misfortune! First I was banished as a Plague God, lost all of my wealth and power, and now he is even trying to get me exiled! I will kill him today!”

“Not joking?” asked the wife.

Heavenly King Fu shouted back at her, “Of course not! I’ll kill him first, then bring us away as far as possible, leave at once!”

Mistress Fu and Shi Qie’er stood up, they exchanged a look and smiled, “Then we will go and pack our things. We’ll leave you two men to settle your differences then.”

“For what? I’ll kill him right away!”

Heavenly King Fu raised a hammer and brought it down on Gu Yue’s head and suddenly, the latter said, “If I succeed, you will be crowned Realm Monarch of the Bo Luo Six Paths World.”

Then, the hammer stopped an inch above Gu Yue’s head, Heavenly King Fu kept the hammers and asked, “Promise?”

“Promise!” Gu Yue held a solemn face as he said.

“Alright!” Heavenly King Fu accepted it immediately, “I’ll go with you!”

Gu Yue brought out the Bi Xie Rhino carriage and invited Heavenly King Fu into it. Then, they saw Mistress Fu and Shi Qie’er trotting with the bags behind them and entered the carriage as well.

Heavenly King Fu stuttered as he said, “My love, my daughter, I didn’t kill him.”

The two ladies exchanged a look and chortled right after, “We knew you wouldn’t. We were just packing up to follow you in serving your new lord.”

Heavenly King Fu was puzzled, “You all knew?”

“Realm Monarch Bo Luo has lost his trust in you, moreover, he doesn’t want you to exist anymore. As a selfish tyrant he is, he will not allow an Innate Blessing Spirit Body to fall into the hands of others; thus, with or without killing Lord Yue, he will seize this chance to kill you. Of course by then, exile we must go. However, if you had killed Lord Yue, there would then be two forces hunting for you. That leaves the best option as clear as crystal. As Lord Yue came and invited you, you will eventually accept it.”

Gu Yue praised, “I am impressed, Mistress Fu and Miss Fu are incredible ladies.”

The Bi Xie Rhino carriage soon entered Hell. Just seconds later, the Elemental Realm’s Realm Lord arrived at the empty scene. Without further ado, the Realm Lord ordered the messengers to deliver Heavenly King Lu’s disappearance to the Bo Luo Six Paths World for Realm Monarch Bo Luo.
