Rise of Humanity
chapter-1145-30041322

The thousand-winged ancient ship sailed along the Heavenly River. Suddenly, a powerful tide crashed toward them and Zhong Yue quickly steered the ship to avoid it. But to his surprise, another even more powerful tide came crashing into the ship right after the first.

In addition to the rapid flow of the Heavenly River, there were many huge swirls of water that were more dangerous than the black holes in the universe. The thousand-winged ancient ship was pulled by the swirls and sucked deep into the Heavenly River!

Before even getting close to the Di Ming’s and Mu Xiantian’s battlefield, he found himself in a dire situation!

Zhong Yue cast the thousand-winged ancient ship with all his energy and managed to fly away of the Heavenly River. The ship sailed to the river side and suddenly, his heart tightened in alertness. He quickly swerved the ship to the side and slipped past a star river.

The star river wasn’t part of the Heavenly River, but the light wheel of a grand monarch. Beside the star river were another five star rivers. It was such an amazing view.

Just right after the thousand-winged ancient ship escaped from the Heavenly River, it nearly got trapped inside the monarch’s light wheels.

“Monarch Qing He!”

Zhong Yue controlled the ship and sailed to the side. He saw the monarch’s face and was shocked, turning solemn.

Dressing formally and with his serious and calm expression, this Qing He Clan’s monarch gave off a very pure air, he turned his head around and smiled as he nodded, “Ah, King Yi. I thought you would be commanding the war right now, but I see you’re here to observe this battle. How is the frontline?”

No ill intent could be felt from this monarch and Zhong Yue returned Monarch Qing He’s politeness with respect, he bowed and answered, “Everything is proceeding according to the plan, so my presence is not necessary anymore.”

Monarch Qing He’s expression was shaken for a second and he praised, “It’s really impressive that you actually trained your men to such a spectacular extent! They say military experts could achieve Dao in this field alone, but are you not worried at all? Your men are so strong under your command right now, so strong that even you are not necessary to take down the Southern Heaven Gate, I fear that after you’ve trained your men to such a level, you would no longer be necessary, in every way.”

Zhong Yue, however, did not seem bothered by this, he laughed, “As long as the many monarchs are not willing to surrender, then I will never be cast aside by His Majesty! Besides, I’m not too worried as well, if the world is in peace, there is no point in holding such power.”

Monarch Qing He smiled, “Well said. I plan to have company me in observing this battle, what do you think, King Yi?”

“This place is not a suitable place to be, I find it a little hard to balance here.”

Zhong Yue left as he sailed away and smiled, “Thank you but I suppose another place would be better, besides, I dare not stand side by side to you, great monarch.”

Monarch Qing He smiled and watched as Zhong Yue left.

While standing on the deck, Zhong Yue looked around, finding one after another powerful figure standing everywhere in Heavenly River, all had light wheels circling behind their head, emitting dangerous auras.

That is… Monarch Jin Tian!

With a squinting eye, he looked towards a place shrouded in golden light emitted by a monarch. Amidst the light stood one after another different gods, all observing the battle between Mu Xiantian and Di Ming.

Rumor had it that Monarch Jin Tian was Feng Tian Origin Lord’s disciple, his participation in this war was supported by Feng Tian Origin Lord.

Zhong Yue blinked and looked towards a similarly powerful monarch on the other side, this was Monarch Yang Zun. As the monarch race from the Earth Order Era, the Zhongyang Clan was a wealthy and powerful clan. They were the most lasting force among the eight monarch races. While the others were being targeted and suppressed, the Zhongyang Clan remained standing strong and even prospered greatly!

And now, there was Monarch Yang Zun in this God Order Era, if he became the Heavenly Monarch, the Zhongyang Clan would strive and became even more powerful!

Who is behind Monarch Yang Zun?

Zhong Yue squinted his eyes and looked around Monarch Yang Zun, where the people of the Zhongyang Clan scattered everywhere. Monarch Yang Zun rarely appeared in plain sight, even when the seven monarchs were fighting for fate, he did not show up. Now that the war of throne was halfway through, he decided to show up and along with his appearance, display of Zhongyang Clan’s true power.

Demon Monarch Yang Hou is here too!

Demon Monarch Yang Hou was also in sight, this demon monarch was an innate demon god from the ancient universe. As one from the innate Demon Monarch’s faction, he was of course, supported by Innate Demon Monarch himself!

And upon catching Zhong Yue’s gaze, Demon Monarch Yang Hou turned around and nodded towards Zhong Yue

Zhong Yue returned with a bow, Demon Monarch Yang Hou may be from a different faction but this monarch was much different from the others, his behaviour was admirable and he was quite fond of Zhong Yue. Demon Monarch Yang Hou was also one of the present monarchs when Zhong Yue borrowed the monarchs’ strength to merge the four monarch level art to improve [Innate Eight Trigrams].

Not far away from this demon monarch was Celestial Monarch Jin Wu himself. Whereas has Celestial Monarch Jin Wu received the support of Innate Celestial Monarch or not, Zhong Yue did not know, but as one who controlled Fusang Divine Tree, Celestial Monarch Jin Wu was definitely related to Great Sui, after all, this tree was once Great Sui’s spiritual roots of heaven and earth.

Besides, Celestial Monarch Jin Wu was a trusted friend and ally of Hundun Clan, he risked his life when he investigated the truth behind the end of Earth Order Era and by this alone, Zhong Yue theorized that he was not supported by Innate Celestial Monarch, instead, Innate Celestial Monarch must have played a role behind the incident that almost killed Celestial Monarch Jin Wu.

“Jinwu Clan’s son in law, come here.” smiled Celestial Monarch Jin Wu.

Zhong Yue sailed towards him and he saw Monarch Chang Sheng, the saint herb of Dao Venerate Fu Min that became a monarch. As always, this monarch appeared to be steady and calm as if he had little to no interest in the war.

The seven monarchs taking part in the war for fate back then were all present, apart from them, there was also Monarch Yang Zun, totalling to eight great monarchs. Aside from these monarchs, Zhong Yue also saw the leaders of the many monarch races.

There were also powerful Imperial Emperors that belonged to neither of these races, which suggested they were from the king race!

These king races too, were unwilling to sit aside as the war broke up, they were seeking a chance that allow them to ascend as a monarch and squeeze into the ranks of sovereign races!

Zhong Yue looked around and he thought, only to be disturbed by Celestial Monarch Jin Wu who asked, “What do you think?”

Zhong Yue answered, “I’m thinking that whose hands are holding the Tree of Life right now, this monarch who acquired the tree only used it once up until now and he has yet to reveal himself, who is he?”

Celestial Monarch Jin Wu’s vision shifted from the many other monarchs as he spoke, “This must be a very clever one, he knows just how precious this tree is. When the monarchs were battling each other, their attacks did not even hurt the ancient tree at all, not even Mister Bi Luo’s Tian Fa could gain the upperhand against the tree! That tree’s strength is above most of the monarch weapons! This monarch who has his hands on the ancient tree is chasing after something big and he is, clearly very keen on sitting on that throne!”

Zhong Yue looked towards Heavenly River, where the monarch battle was about to take place, Heavenly Di Ming and Mu Xiantian stood against each other. They had yet to fight each other but around them, Daos danced around, like a rainbow, a soaring dragon, a dashing sword light, a divine pillar, slamming against each other.

Zhong Yue’s heart beat quickly upon seeing this, he thought the two monarchs were already engaged in a ferocious battle when he encountered so many abnormalities on the river, but now, it seemed like everything was caused only by the clashing of their Daos!

“Where is Queen Goddess?”

Zhong Yue shifted his vision away and begun looking for Queen Goddess, who was another formidable existence. This lady monarch who stood below one god and above all else was now standing at the other end of Heavenly River, assisting her husband by helping him suppress Mu Xiantian.

The marriage of Di Ming and Queen Goddess had bound them together, she was Di Ming’s hope to defeat Mu Xiantian. If they both achieved the seventh secret realm, Mu Xiantian would be in grave danger.

Zhong Yue thought, Even if he hid his innate sacred ground away, escaped King Shen Wuwei detection, the best he can hope for is survive, winning will no longer be within his grasp. So… what is Mu Xiantian relying on? Is he the one that stole the Tree of Life?

As Zhong Yue thought, the seventh light wheel emerged from the back of Mu Xiantian’s head, Seven Paths Reincarnation erupted right away and this innate god started emitting dangerous and ruthless presence. This innate god was clearly not giving Di Ming the time he needed in this battle once the Seven Paths Reincarnation was activated!

This was because of the immature Seven Paths Reincarnation system that resulted in the inability to keep it running for prolonged period!

Zhong Yue cleared his mind and stopped looking around immediately, for this battle was definitely a swift yet interesting one!

The Heavenly River rumbled along with the Seven Paths Reincarnation, dust flew everywhere and fell into his Seven Paths Reincarnation, forming the real stars and turning his light wheels into powerful star rivers!

On the other hand, Heavenly Monarch Di Ming vanished from his position right when the seventh secret realm was unleashed, he dashed towards Mu Xiantian with lightning speed, leaving behind flower petals as he moved, Dao flowers ascended from the river and blossomed rapidly, turning into one after another Heavenly Monarch Di Ming’s!

“[Million Monarchs Daos]!”

The many Heavenly Monarch Di Ming let out a battlecry and the Di Ming in the Dao flowers turned into Daos.

This gave Zhong Yue a shock, but the next second later, the heaven and earth Daos soared, came surging from all directions and attached to the countless Di Ming!

These Di Ming within the Dao flowers were not in the monarch level, but they were similarly strong as Imperial Emperors, hence, forcefully using the Dao level mentality would put them at risk of being converted by Dao. Zhong Yue was very curious at this move, he simply didn’t understand why Heavenly Monarch Di Ming had himself in the Dao flowers to be converted, what was this move?

The Daos synchronized with the numerous Di Ming’s in the flowers, becoming one together, equivalent to thousands and thousands of Imperial Emperors turning into Daos at once, creating a marvelous scene Zhong Yue had never seen!

Hold up! This is a formation!

Zhong Yue quickly noticed something strange, the countless Di Ming in the Dao flowers had formed an alluring formation. Though their bodies were converted and consumed by Daos, this formation managed to lock the Daos in it, preventing them from consuming the Di Ming whole!

He once saw this formation from Princess Wenyue, she cultivated a world of flower and formed this formation with clones turned from the flowers. But compared to Heavenly Monarch Di Ming, however, what Princess Wenyue performed was mere child’s play!

Impressive!

Zhong Yue grunted before the pressure emitted from the monarchs’ presence, forcing him to resist it with full strength!

The monarchs’ might, was even stronger than Qing He, Chang Sheng and the other monarchs!

The Di Ming all started casting a spell and when this attack was launched, the flowers writhed and they too, started aging quickly. Their life drained away by this spell and they turned into skeletons before turning into dust!

With one attack, they all died in an instant and this was once again, out of Zhong Yue’s expectations.

As for the attacks, they all turned into a torrent, gathered in the air and like parts, they assembled together and turned into another attack!

That strong?

Zhong Yue’s heart thumped, these Imperial Emperors triggered the Daos and at the cost of death, they launched the strongest attack they could deliver. But this attack was, in fact, just a part of another stronger attack!

This was Heavenly Monarch Di Ming’s spell, and also an unrivalled move he used to suppress this era!
