Rise of Humanity
chapter-799

Xian Tian Palace, there were many Heavens hovering around it. From afar, it looked like the Xian Tian Palace was surrounded by light bubbles. It was truly a spectacular scene,

Zhong Yue looked around and praised, he counted a total of 18 Heavens around the Xian Tian Palace, they were all lively and rich in resources.

The Heavens were worlds created by the ancient and powerful presences. Each Heaven was a small universe itself and it also had the Six Paths Reincarnations; thus, the living beings in the Heavens could reincarnate into the Heavens as well.

As the living beings in the Heavens only reincarnate in the Heavens itself, it prohibited the possibility of outsiders reincarnating into the Heavens. Thus, stopping the Heavens from getting shattered within.

Not only that, but the Heavens were also a source of power to those in control of them. Usually, the living beings in the Heavens would only worship the Heavens’ owner. One could imagine how strong the power of worship would be to have the Heavens collectively worship to one entity!

The power of worship had many uses, one of which was to strengthen the Yuan Shen and boost the cultivation base, allowing one to breakthrough to a higher level.

The humans only have one Heavens, it was created by the Nong Sovereign and in it, there was no Six Paths Reincarnations. The continuation of human race was only sustained through natural reproduction.

When Nong Sovereign first came to the Zi Wei Galaxy, the human race was in their darkest time. They were the lowliest existences, enslaved by countless and taken as bipedal livestock. Human lives weren’t considered lives, but merely as capital for others.

It was the Nong Sovereign that tirelessly worked for that slim chance of survival for the human race, he talked to the factions’ leaders and through hard efforts, gained their supports and reached an agreement.

Only then did the human race gain some freedoms and be considered as their own race.

However, the price they had to pay was steep, and that price was the Nong Sovereign’s freedom. In exchange for the human race’s freedom and honor, he was taken hostage into the Zi Wei Galaxy.

After that, the Nong Sovereign created the human race’s Heavens. However, as he wasn’t in the level of the ancient and powerful presences, the Heavens he was able to create was flawed. It didn’t have the Six Paths Reincarnations and thus, the humans in the Heavens couldn’t be reincarnated.

On the other hand, the Heavens of the Xian Tian Palace were all created by powerful experts. They were huge and vast like a mini universe, they contain abundances of resources, complete Six Paths Reincarnations, and the most ideal living conditions.

The Heavens like these were the sacred lands to the cultivators, whether it be to cultivate or simply reside in.

The Nong Sovereign had spent his life trying to create the Six Paths Reincarnations in our human’s Heavens, and the Yan Sovereign is even weaker than the Nong Sovereign. It will be a tall order to ask him to achieve what even his predecessor couldn’t achieve.

Zhong Yue thought and calmed himself, he followed the envoy into the Xian Tian Palace. Immediately, waves of godly auras rushed into his senses and he saw many strong and powerful presences sitting inside of the palace. They were shrouded by godly rays that revolved around them.

The Xian Tian Palace was huge and entry was restricted to Creators and Imperial Emperors.

Zhong Yue glanced around and spotted Imperial Emperor Xian Tian sitting on the throne with a few other Creators sitting below him, including Xi Zhiyan. They were most probably Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s Creator disciples.

Other than them, there were some others sitting a level below Imperial Emperor Xian Tian, these would be the rulers of the 18 Heavens. Some of them were Creators and some were stronger, at the level of Imperial Emperor!

However, King Zi Guang didn’t have a seat, he was standing beside Imperial Emperor Xian Tian.

Other than that, there were another six others were sitting on the same level as Imperial Emperor Xian Tian. Their faces were covered in the godly rays so their identities remained a mystery. However, one thing that was certain was they were allies with the Imperial Emperor Xian Tian.

Other than that, there were the leaders of races sitting a level below. Their identities were also clouded, Zhong Yue couldn’t tell who they were.

Zhong Yue bowed, he said, “Senior Martial Brother Xian Tian, senior martial brothers.”

The imperial emperors returned the formality and Imperial Emperor Xian Tian glared a pair of sharp eyes, he said, “Mister Yi, please be seated.”

A futon appeared out of thin air and Zhong Yue sat on it. He was seated at the same level as the Imperial Emperors.

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian looked at Zhong Yue and said politely, “I’ve heard from Zi Guang, Mister Yi is a reincarnated innate god. But mister, I have yet to know your origin, may you answer it?”

Zhong Yue hesitated, whereas King Zi Guang smiled, “Mister Yi, be rest assured. Those that are present are all His Highness’s greatest allies. No one will spread a word.”

“Well, it’s not that I don’t trust anyone.” Zhong Yue smiled, “But I have an enemy, he is the cause of my reincarnation. Before the current Heavenly Monarch, I was already here. I came from the ancient universe, born within a sun, and have seen the rise and fall of three Heavenly Monarchs. I have been through the great war and seen the universe plunged into darkness. From then to now, I am already 200 thousand years old.”

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian was shocked, he grew even more polite, he said, “I didn’t know you were this old, an Innate Sun God of the Earth Order Era, even older than me. May I ask of your name, mister?”

“Please, spare the politeness.” Zhong Yue smiled, “My name is Li Yang. My rival ambushed me while I was in closed-door training, forcing me to reincarnate myself. But little did I see myself becoming a human.”

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian mulled, he laughed, “So it’s Li Yang. I’ve heard of your name, but never got the chance to meet you. In the great war, the innate gods suffered a great loss. It is fortunate that mister is able to survive.”

“Shame.” Zhong Yue sighed, “I was an innate god, one that was born from the worship of countless living beings. Their worships were the one that created me, but also the exact same thing that restricted my cultivation. During the war, I knew I wasn’t good enough for it, so I hid in fear of death. But, he… ambushed me. What a shame, from an innate who knows no time, I am now turned into a timebound prenate.”

Upon hearing him, the imperial emperors clouded in godly rays sighed as well.

King Zi Guang said, “It’s not we don’t trust you, but important things are worth double-checking. Can mister please cast out a Dao you’ve cultivated in your past life?”

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian nodded, he smiled, “Mister, if you are really Li Yang, then you sure can cultivate the innate Dao you have in your past life, right?”

Zhong Yue answered, “Of course.”

With a change of thought, he cast out the innate Dao in the Dao Imparting Innate Core. When Imperial Emperor Xian Tian and the others looked at it, they nodded in confirmation

If Zhong Yue was a fraud, even if he could cast out an innate Do, it wouldn’t be able to contain the Creator-level attainments in it too.

But the Innate Pure Yang Dao Zhong Yue has presented them was extremely profound, only an innate god could have cultivated it. Thus, it was clear that Zhong Yue was the reincarnated innate god Li Yang.

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian let his guard down, he laughed, “Senior Martial Brother Li Yang, I’ve heard of your enemy. He is indeed strong. However, if senior martial brother can help me in my quest, I can help you in killing him.”

Zhong Yue was shocked and happy, he quickly thanked Imperial Emperor Xian Tian with a deep down while wondering, Who is this rival?

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian continued, “It’s not that I don’t trust Yan Sovereign, but the human race is not as honest as it seems. But now with Senior Martial Brother Li Yang in the human race, I can rest assured now.”

Zhong Yue answered, “Please, what’s past is past, spreading my name will only result in me being hunted again. As for the humans, I will keep an eye on them and help Senior Martial Brother Xian Tian in controlling them!”

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian nodded softly. He glanced around, stood up and smiled, “Emperors, the Heavenly Monarch has no place for me anymore. All those unrightful things he has done to me, I will let it slide, but now, he allowed his son to kill my disciple. Then, out of anger, my disciple, Xi Zhuyan killed the Royal Prince. My friends, can you all advise me what should I do now?”

The Imperial Emperors and race leaders frowned, a hoarse voice said, “The only reason he can sit in the throne now is because of us. Without us helping him, would he triumph over the other Imperial Monarchs? And among us all, Senior Martial Brother Xian Tian has given the most help to him. Now, his he trying to dump us behind and dominate all himself? I will confront him!”

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian shook, “Xi Zhiyan killed the Royal Prince, this is ultimately my fault. After all, he is the Heavenly Monarch, he is to be prioritized above all. I prepare to send Zhiyan to the Heaven Court and receive his rightful punishment. Even if that means he is to perish eternally.”

Another Imperial Emperor gave a cold sneer, “Senior martial brother, you are making us cold now, this is not how it should be! Without us, he is nothing. If we can bring him up to the throne, then we can also take him down from it!”

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian shook quickly, he said, “He is the Heavenly Monarch, he holds the greatest power and the right to rule. We are in no advantageous position to confront him, so why do that? What does it matter for him to show his superiority?”

Suddenly, another Imperial Emperor laughed, “Senior Martial Brother Xian Tian, why are you trying us? As long as you say it, we will do it! It’s better off if it’s you that becomes the Heavenly Monarch!”

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian shook his head in panic, “It’s too early, too early. Although it is fine for me, I am an innate god, it is hard for the rest to agree with it.”

“What’s wrong with an innate god becoming the Heavenly Monarch? Didn’t the Earth Order Era have an innate god as their Heavenly Monarch before? The Goddess herself is even still here in the Imperial Star!” Another Imperial Emperor said.

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian still shook, he said, “He and I are still friends, to betray him, how could I ever do that?”

“He is the one that betrays first, how is it not alright to do it?”

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian frowned, “I am still an Imperial Emperor, not the Imperial Monarch. He is still a cultivation level higher than me. If I claim the throne, most will disagree.”

The six Imperial Emperors turned silent. Imperial Emperor Xian Tian was true, it was difficult for one who wasn’t an Imperial Monarch to become the Heavenly Monarch. Even if Imperial Emperor Xian Tian could overthrow the Heavenly Monarch, he wouldn’t be able to secure the throne for long.

The depth of Zi Wei Galaxy was too deep for one to test. There wasn’t just one Imperial Monarch around. Back during the fight for the Heavenly Monarch, there were already a few formidable Imperial Monarchs surfacing from the deep waters. If it wasn’t for their support, the current Heavenly Monarch wouldn’t be able to sit in the throne now.

Thus, if the Imperial Emperor Xian Tian really did overthrow the current Heavenly Monarch and claim the throne, those undying Imperial Monarchs would most probably surface again and challenge the throne!

Furthermore, the many forces in the Zi Wei Galaxy would also intervene into the matter, to ensure their survival during the times of trouble or even more, to reap out their best interests from the war!

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian saw their reactions and knew immediately even his allies weren’t very confident. He sighed and said, “Thus, I still need Xi Zhiyan to die. His death will delay the upcoming war for a little longer, allowing me to better prepare myself for it. Xi Zhiyan, I ask you, are you willing to die for me?”

Xi Zhiyan suddenly raised, he pulled out his divine sword and swiped it across his neck, beheading himself. Then, Xi Zhiyan’s headless body threw the divine sword down to the ground and presented his head up with his hands. He bowed and his head said, “I am willing.”

As he finished, his soul flew out from his head.

“You will still be my supreme disciple.” Imperial Emperor Xian Tian teared, he swung his sleeve and sent Xi Zhiyan’s soul to be reincarnated in the Heavens. He ordered, “Zi Guang, keep his head and body, send it to the Heaven Court and hand it to the Heavenly Monarch. Tell him, two of my beloved disciples died for this, I am too saddened I cannot head over to ask for his forgiveness myself.”

King Zi Guang nodded, he said, “Then, what about Royal Prince Wen Chang’s head…”

“Keep it.” Imperial Emperor Xian Tian said placidly, “He killed my beloved disciple, how can I let him off so easily? Send it to the toilet and let everyone release their waste on him.”
