Rise of Humanity

When Zhong Yue cultivated the seventh secret realm, he had this feeling that the space was untrue before him, as if he could travel and roam the universe without the confines of space restricting his movements.

Then, as time progressed, his cultivation deepened. In addition to the knowledge of the seventh secret realm from the ancient monarchs contained in the Ancestral Court, as well as Dao Venerate Fu Min’s attainments in the Seven Paths Reincarnation, he managed to cultivate his second seventh secret realm, achieving two types of Seven Paths Reincarnation.

With it, his perception of time and space also changed. Sometimes, he would feel that he had already experienced certain things before when in reality, he hadn’t. This was because of his Time Secret Realm that allowed him to glance into the future from time to time, thus, causing him to mistake the future for the past.

Whereas the Space Secret Realm was an entirely different feeling. When he cast the Space Seven Paths Reincarnation, he would have the ability to sneak into the layers of dimensions and warp in space without any restrictions.

However, he wasn’t sure if he could really enter the Void World with his Seven Paths Reincarnation.

What exactly was the Void World, was it a kind of space. How did Great Sui open the Void World; he knew nothing about it.

Even Xin Huo didn’t know much about the Void World. He was created at the twilight of Great Sui’s life, the Void World was already created by then. Great Sui only created Xin Huo because he didn’t want his cultivation heritage to be lost to time. Thus, Xin Huo was created so that his cultivation inheritance could be passed down.

In the layers of dimensions, Zhong Yue cast the Seven Paths Reincarnation and warped deeper toward the Void World. The universe had many layers of space and time, some had a faster flow of time and others had a slower one. The deepest layer was known as the Nether. It was a dimension of space and time that no living being could enter.

And after the Nether lay the Great Sui’s Void World.

It was incredibly difficult to enter the Nether. Back when Zhong Yue was sneaking into the Heavenly Prison, he was there once in the thousand-winged ancient ship. There, he encountered an ancient divine turtle.

And now, he could enter the Nether without the ancient ship’s help. After all, the ancient ship was also an object, a huge one in particular. It entering the Void World would attract a greater repelling force from the Void World.

But if it were only him alone, the target would be smaller.

Finally, he arrived in the Nether. Going any further would lead him to the Void World. Back then, the ancient ship took a leap and propelled itself into the Void World, although it only lasted a short moment in, it still did enter the Void World.

Zhong Yue stood in the Nether, the Seven Paths Reincarnation turned rapidly behind him as he cast it to its peak power, whereas on his back was the innate meat wings formed by his Space Dao.

The wings spread out wide and fluttered at an increasingly faster speed, and in a leap, he disappeared from the Nether!

In the next second, he reappeared in the vast and quiet Void World. A strong force of compression acted on his body from all directions, but surprisingly, his mind and soul were in a state of immense serenity.

The Void World’s power was pushing him out into the real world. The longer he stayed inside it, the stronger the force grew.

Zhong Yue resisted the force, beating his wings and forming layers of dimensions around himself attempt to barricade himself from the Void World’s repelling force.

His Space Dao was cultivated from Monarch Hao Yi’s [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture] and at the same time, the wings had come from his attainments in the Space Deity King’s thousand wings on the ancient ship. On top of it, he had completed the [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture] with the Six Paths Reincarnation and even advanced further with the opening of the Seven Paths Reincarnation!

It was reasonable to say that Zhong Yue’s attainments in the Space Dao were now even stronger than Monarch Hao Yi’s and Space Deity King’s. He had reached a stage no one had ever thought was possible!

But what puzzled him was that the Void World was still repelling his entrance!

He could merge himself with any dimension, except for the Void World!

Unless, the Void World is not a dimension!

Zhong Yue fluttered the wings and pushed forward, trying to search for an ancestor’s spirit before the Void World repelled him out back to the real world. As time passed, the Void World’s power grew more and more irresistible, he almost couldn’t control his maneuvers anymore!

But what terrified him the most was that at the same time the repelling force on his body grew stronger, the attraction coming from the Void World on his soul was also growing at the same rate!

The two forces were tearing him apart. One tried to make his soul stay in the Void World and the other tried to expel his mortal body out of the Void World!

Zhong Yue fought hard to close every opening in his mortal body to prevent his Yuan Shen from getting extracted out of him. But the attraction force has eventually so strong it terrified him. He was afraid that he would lose himself and allow his Yuan Shen to stay in the Void World forever.

If the Void World isn’t a dimension, then what exactly is it… No, this force is getting too powerful!

Zhong Yue couldn’t resist it much longer, the tension had become too strong for him to handle. He had to leave the Void World now or his mortal body and Yuan Shen would be torn apart and separated!

If that happened, death would be the only result!

Furthermore, his Seven Paths Reincarnation was also at its limit. If he didn’t leave now before the seventh secret realm closed, he would really die!

Just when he was allowing himself to be expelled out from the Void World’s repelling force, a thought flashed in his mind and he was hit with a sudden epiphany, I know it now! I know what the Void World is!

Krong—

Zhong Yue was expelled out from the Void World by the repelling force. He fell out of the Void World like a meteor, smashing through layers of dimension and finally crashed into the Heaven Suppressing Fortress!

The Heaven Suppressing Fortress trembled and a mushroom cloud rose in the fortress.

Yin Fanxuan and the ladies were shocked. They rushed to the scene and saw a huge hole with Zhong Yue in the center at the crash site. The hole was so huge it could fit a planet while Zhong Yue was seen in a shabby state, lying with his innate meat wings mangled and splayed out.

The ladies rushed to the bottom of the hole for Zhong Yue when suddenly, Zhong Yue started laughing out of the blue. His laughter grew louder and louder with every second!

Hu—

His wings fluttered and he flew out of the hole, appearing beside the ladies in the next second. He hoisted Yin Fanxuan up in his arms and spun around a few times in laughter before placing her down and repeating it for Jin Hexi and Shi Yinji.

Yi Wanjun put up some resistance when he tried to do it to her, but soon gave up after a few seconds, letting him do as he pleased. Then, Zhong Yue carried the Moon God up, but she was only staring at him with a pair of emotionless eyes, she did not resist nor have any emotions of bewilderment or the likes.

Zhong Yue placed Moon God down awkwardly before scratching his head, he didn’t dare to be rude toward her.

“Darling, why are you like this?” Yin Fanxuan asked puzzlingly.

“I’ve found the truth behind the Void World!” Zhong Yue immediately tossed the awkwardness to the back of his head and laughed happily, “I finally know the truth of the Void World!”

The ladies exchanged a look and saw the same question in each other’s eyes. Shi Yinji asked in perplex, “What’s the truth of the Void World?”

“A psyche world of the ancient saints, a dimension that never existed!” Zhong Yue spoke in zealous excitement, “Perhaps, it’s wrong to put it this way. It’s not only the ancient saints’ psyche world but the psyche world of all of the souls and spirits in the Void World. It is a universe made of psyche alone! Great Sui is truly brilliant, truly brilliant! He knew the hopelessness of trying to achieve immortality like the innate gods, so he found a way for the atmans to achieve immortality!”

“Gathering the strongest paragons of his era, merging their psyches together, Great Sui opened a unique world! You can call it a psyche ocean eventually, as it is formed from pure psyche. Anything physical would be repelled by the psyche ocean and only the souls and spirits can enter it! Such is the Void World!”

“Every soul and spirit that enters the Void World, their psyches would resonate with the Void World, and grow the Void World even more! My guess is that when Great Sui first opened the Void World, it wasn’t as vast as it is now. Back then, the Void World was very small, but as time passed and more residents entered this world of psyche ocean, the Void World grew bigger and bigger. Finally reaching its current size!”

Zhong Yue blurted out his guess in one go and Yi Wanjun questioned, “If the Void World is a psyche ocean, then whose psyche ocean was it that the Void World originated from?”

Zhong Yue was dumbfounded, he murmured, “Could it be Great Sui’s psyche ocean? Did he open up his psyche ocean and turned it into the Void World?”

Somehow, a bizarre thought slipped its way into his mind. If the Void World was Great Sui’s psyche ocean, wouldn’t that mean that every single soul and spirit enters his psyche ocean strengthen it?

As it stood now, the Void World was so vast that no one cared to measure it anymore!

The general consensus was that the psyche ocean was where one’s atman was stored and that it was the source of one’s psyche. When the psyche grew stronger, the psyche ocean would grow bigger; and when the psyche ocean grows bigger, the psyche would also grow stronger!

If Great Sui’s psyche ocean was turned into the Void World, and the countless paragons have resided their spirits in the void; doesn’t that make Great Sui’s psyche miraculous?

If Great Sui were still alive, just how miraculous would his psyche be?

But is Great Sui really dead?

Zhong Yue was dumbstruck, a paragon who opened the Void World and possessed such a powerful psyche… could he really be dead?

He quickly asked Xin Huo and the dejected flame answered in low spirits, “Great Sui has passed away… It has been too long, way too long to be traced. Great Sui’s spirit should’ve long withered from the lack of worship…”

Zhong Yue asked puzzlingly, “Ever since the opening of the Void World, the monarchs, sovereigns, Imperial Emperors, and Creators have offered their psyches to Great Sui’s psyche ocean. With this vast amount of psyche, could Great Sui’s spirit really wither from the lack of his worship?”

Xin Huo was startled, his voice began to quiver, “You are saying that…?”

“I’m saying that Great Sui’s spirit may still be alive!”

Zhong Yue grew incredibly excited, so much so that his veins were bulging out and his scalp tingled, he said, “Great Sui evolved his psyche ocean into the Void World, it contained more than countable spirits of the ancient and current saint paragons. As they are residing in his psyche ocean, these spirits’ psyches have essentially became part of Great Sui’s psyche! With this amount of psyche, he is definitely still somewhere in the Void World! I need to enter the Void World again!”

Xin Huo grew excited as well but he suddenly remembered something and quickly said, “The Void World is repelling your mortal body and attracting your Yuan Shen, do you have the confidence to resist the Void World’s forces?”

Rays brimmed in Zhong Yue’s eyes, he looked up into the skies and said solemnly, “The [Immortal Divine Psyche] has strengthened my psyche, in addition to the [Sui Sovereign Flame Order Palace Visualization Art], I think I will be able to connect with Great Sui’s atman if he is still alive! If I can get in touch, he will be able to help protect me from the Void World’s repelling force!”

Xin Huo was silent for moments, then he asked bitterly, “What if you are wrong? What if Great Sui’s spirit was already gone?”
