Rise of Humanity

Bang—

The bottle in Feng Jikai’s hand burst into pieces and the wine splashed everywhere. He looked at Zhong Yue mindlessly as a thick voice rumbled in the sacred palace.

“The ghosts that listened to my father every time is here for me.”

His body trembled as he stared right at Zhong Yue as he knew about the two ghosts that his father constantly spoke about.

His father told him that he tried to head into the future and that was when two uninvited guests from the future boarded his ship, followed him back to the present from the future.

These two guests then stayed with him from then on, never leaving, observing everything he did and becoming the force that kept him from swaying from the path.

“They watched you being born into the world and growing, but you can’t see them.”

Feng Changyang always told him, “Perhaps in the future, they will come looking for you and tell you about this. This is your secret, one that you mustn’t tell anyone. Bury it deep into your heart and wait for them.”

“I know nothing of their intentions but if they were bad guys, things wouldn’t be any worse right now.”

“You will have to stay here and live in this cage. If you are a lion, keep your claws away, act like a gentle cat, hide your talents like a Jiao Dragon underwater, act like a harmless water snake, pretend that you are weak and endure the humiliations hurled on you.”

“You will become a Fuxi once again, a real Fuxi who stands upright with his head high!”

Feng Jikai felt an energy surge within him. He had been enduring and hiding himself for way too long that he no longer knows if his blood was burning hot!

After kneeling on the ground for so long, would he even be able to take a stand again?

His body shivered, and his Yuan Shen trembled. But the divine light in his eyes became brighter!

The “ghosts” had arrived!

The “ghosts” father talked about are here looking for me!

This was a secret not known to anyone else but him. He never spoke a word about this. Hence, this half Fuxi and half Panhu man in front of him was definitely the ghost his father spoke off!

“But why you?”

Feng Jikai’s eyes closed, covering the divine light entirely and laughed disappointedly, “Why a dog? I feel like a joke now. I’ve waited 70,000 years, keeping myself in my peak form, maintaining myself every single day only to discover I’ve been waiting for 70,000 years for a dog!”

Zhong Yue walked up right away and Feng Jikai shouted at him coldly, “Stop right there! I do not want my hands to get tainted by your filthy blood!”

“My surname is Zhong, a human Fuxi Celestial Race, the Xin Huo inheritor. This is just my disguise. This is how I really look.”

Just as Zhong Yue was about to disperse the [Sky Clouding Sun Changing Art], reveal himself, a burst of loud laughter burst out and Zhong Yue stopped right away.

Feng Jikai’s eyes widened and closed back in a split second, falling back into the seat and continuing to drink.

“Clan master, I am here under the Heavenly Monarch’s order and the Panhu Clan’s invitation to request the Fuxi Celestial Race’s aid. Let’s work together and eliminate the Yinkang Clan.”

Zhong Yue vanished away from the front of Feng Jikai, appearing on a seat along the hall and saying, “Please accept the mission!”

Feng Jikai opened his eyes slightly and replied calmly, “Our Fuxi Celestial Race can only stay here. Not a single foot is allowed in the Zi Wei Galaxy. Rules are rules. Besides, this is the unworldly world, a world not within the universe so anything outside of the unworldly world has nothing to do with us.”

Suddenly, another old voice was heard, “Please think again, clan master!”

Zhong Yue turned around and saw a few Fuxi Celestial Race’s elders entering the sacred palace. He grabbed a seat for themselves and sat down; each of these elders were emitting dangerous presences to Zhong Yue and they were peak Imperial Emperors not weaker than Fu Baochu!

They then greeted Zhong Yue, who greeted back hurriedly and said, “Greetings, elders! What great timing! We were just talking about borrowing an army from the Fuxi Celestial Race. To be honest, Wu Ji is here with the commander scroll from Heavenly Monarch and the Panhu Clan. The Hundun Clan’s future clan master is also here today to show you how much we respect and admire your race. We are here with sincerity but never thought the clan master would turn us down.”

He placed himself in a very low position, acting just like how Feng Wuji did. He imitated him so well that even someone close to Feng Wuji was unable to see any difference.

These elders were from the traitors’ branch and the ancient great presences that were reborn into the Fuxi Celestial Race. They all smiled and said, “How sincere, Little Friend Wuji!”

“Clan master, though we are in the unworldly world where we are not under the Heavenly Monarch’s rule, we are still related to whatever happens out there!”

A red-faced elder named Fu Baozheng laughed, “Now that the Zi Wei is in total chaos, becoming the new Heavenly Monarch is our chance to escape from this world! Even the Hundun Clan has chosen a side, how can we still sit out?”

Another female elder named Fu Baoer smiled, “Choosing the right side now and we shall be able to have a piece of the cake, freeing ourselves from this shackle. Back then, this old hag is also a very powerful one but it is really a shame that if I had to spend my remaining life here!”

“There is definitely a chance for us in this war!”

Another elder called Fu Baotian played with his beard and said, “Clan master is after all, still very young. You may not know how interesting the outside world is but we know just how interested it is. There are endless precious items, beautiful places, and pretty ladies! You have been living boringly in this place and we old ones here are willing to take you out for some entertainment!”

Another fierce-looking elder, Fu Baochi, smirked, “Back then, in order to destroy the Earth Order Era of the Fuxi Celestial Race, do you know just how much blood and effort we spilled? Hmph!”

He said angrily, “We are the ones that helped them win the war! Damn it! Once they harvested the fruit, they cast us aside and suppressed us here! In the end, we got nothing. If we don’t fight for it anymore, we will all die here like dogs!”

Hearing his words, the hatred buried in these elders exploded, and the female elder Fu Baoer said fiercely, “We won the war for them, but instead of accolades, we get treated like traitors! I’ve had enough of this! Clan master, the choice is not on you now!”

“That’s right! Even beggars are living better than us!”

The red face elder, Fu Baozheng’s expression also changed as he smirked, “We contributed so much and they did not even give us anything! If they are so cruel, then they can’t blame us for what we are going to do! If we can destroy the Earth Order Era, then we can destroy this era and cultivate a Heavenly Monarch that will side with us!”

Deep down, Zhong Yue smirked, These traitors are such low-lives! They all have no shame at all!

“Dear elders, you are right.”

Zhong Yue smiled, “Please consider this, clan master. To be frank, I am feeling angry for all of you, elders. You have all worked hard, willing to carry the name of a traitor on you. It really is a pity that you are all imprisoned here like prisoners despite your contributions! Clan master, why can’t you just support the elders?”

Feng Jikai’s vision landed onto Zhong Yue, his heart thumped as he immediately knew what Zhong Yue meant and he stood up as he said, “How much power do you think I have over the race? It is just an empty title, if you want to go, then get out of here!”

The elders all burst out laughing and the female elder replied, “You are a clan master and we still have to respect that, after all.”

Feng Jikai laughed coldly and took his leave right away.

“This brat! He will drink himself to death one day!”

The elders stood up and laughed, “After drinking for so many years, he had already wasted his great talent. There is nothing he can do now. He’s not a problem.”

Zhong Yue then stood up and bowed, “Elders, it is an honor that Wuji is able to have you help!”

“Please, there is no need for such politeness, little Wuji.”

Fu Baoer smiled, “We are friends with your teacher so you are on our side. We agreed to help you because we are getting tired of this place.”

Zhong Yue acted extremely grateful and he hesitated, “Dear elders, the Heavenly River Naval Fleet and the Panhu Clan’s naval had gone to attack the Yinkang Clan. The Yinkang Clan is planning to betray the Heavenly Monarch. After fearing that they would not be able to take down Yinkang Clan, the Heavenly River Navy Fleet and Panhu Clan had me request help from the Fuxi Celestial Race.”

The many elders nodded and they smiled, “Yinkang Clan? They are easy prey. Don’t worry.”

Zhong Yue hesitated again and he said, “Dear elders, I heard that a Fuxi will not be limited by the curse if he activates this Fuxi bloodline here? If I may, can I stay here for a few days? And also, once elders have arrived at the Heavenly River Naval Fleet, please tell them you are the reinforcements and that I am the one that invited you over!”

He laughed, “So that I will be in the list when Heavenly Monarch is rewarding the contributors.”

“How cunning! Don’t worry, we will make sure to do what you requested. Do you need our help in activating your Fuxi bloodline?” replied the elders with a smile.

Zhong Yue then answered seriously, “It’s alright. The frontline is in urgent need of your help so please, head over there as soon as possible. After removing the Yinkang Clan, I wish that dear elders will be able to enjoy your time in the outside world! There is no need to trouble you all over such puny matter!”

Right now, the elders had grown very fond of him and they praised, “Little Wuji is really nice! One day, you will become one of the paragons of this world!”

Zhong Yue then walked the elders to the border of the unworldly world, watching them disappear into the layers of seals. He thought, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian will not watch the Yinkang Clan being wiped out. If these traitors show up, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian will definitely act. How many of them will survive depends on how much strength Imperial Emperor Xian Tian used now.
