Rise of Humanity

chapter-810
“It is done.” Faraway, Consort Tian Si looked at the crash site and chortled softly, “It’s just some petty tricks I’ve used there; providing obvious hints to the Luli Clan so they would rush to the crash site immediately. Their hasty arrival would, of course raise suspicions against Mister Yi and stop him from returning to the Luli Clan. But even if he saw through my little tricks, he will realize I am not part of the Luli Clan. The Luli Clan, having witnessed Yang Changsheng’s death, will still decline their request for shelter in fear they would anger the Zhongyang Clan.”
“Instead, the Luli Clan will notify the Zhongyang Clan at the fastest speed possible. With their heir now dead, this ancient sovereign race will once again rise in burning anger. They will find Xian Tian Palace’s little princess and Mister Yi at all costs and avenge their dead heir.”
“This will serve as the best opportunity for the Diming Clan and the Heavenly Monarch, one that they can never reject! There is just no doubt the Diming Clan will side with the Zhongyang Clan and pressure on the Xian Tian Palace. One after another, soon, all the clans and races, factions, forces, and even the individual experts will all get sucked into this whirlwind of turmoil. Only when the universe has been plunged into chaos can a new world order be created. And it will only be master that claims the throne of Heavenly Monarch and starts the new world!”
Then, she glanced over where Zhong Yue disappeared and chuckled, “Mister Yi, although you and I are the same kind of cultivators, both practicing the art of Karma, we serve different masters. So, don’t you blame me for being ruthless. Of course, you are also proficient in the art of Karma, I am anticipating seeing how you will counter my strategies!”
All of a sudden, the space behind her was twisted and a man donned in a black robe walked out of the dimension. Consort Tian Si quickly bowed and greeted with a smile, “Master, everything is now in place. That human is also a proficient cultivator in the art of Karma, but he is now sucked into your humble consort’s strategies, he won’t pose a threat anymore.”The black-robed man nodded softly and asked gently, “Tian Si, to ask you to go against your own kind, will it make you uncomfortable?”
Consort Tian Si’s skirt hem waved in the breeze, she said, “An innate god reincarnated as a human, how can he be counted as one of my kind? He is a formidable opponent, especially one that practices the same path as me. I am of course excited to finally meet someone like him, but that’s no reason for me to hold back.”
Her smile was so sweet that it could make flowers bloom, “A smart bird chooses the best tree to live in. Likewise, a wise subject would choose the greatest lord to serve. It is your humble consort’s pleasure to be given the opportunity to showcase the skills I’ve acquired throughout my life. Master, you’ve brushed aside my lowly status and entrusted me with great responsibilities. It is my honor to have your faith, and for it, I will not allow myself to fail you, I will not tolerate even the tiniest mistake and will give it my best; it is the only way I can repay master for all that you’ve done for me.”
The man smiled, “That is good to hear, and rest assured. When I sit the throne, the promise you’ve been given will be fulfilled. With your contributions to my quest, the humans will be freed from your lowly status and made a huge part of the new order. You will stand like all the other celestial and demon races, made no more slaves nor livestock, unchained from the torments that you’ve suffered for ages.”
Consort Tian Si’s heart thumped in excitement, the hem of her skirt fluttered like a blooming flower and she knelt down before her master, “Your humble consort thanks Your Majesty’s kindness.”
“Be at ease.” The black-robed man slowly faded into thin air while his voice lingered in her ears, “Finish this and you will be rewarded with a Heavens. The humans under your lead can live peacefully in it, with a complete Six Paths Reincarnations of their own. But keep this in mind, all it takes for the humans to dive deeper into your already wretched situation is a simple act of betrayal! You know full well how I treat traitors!”
Consort Tian Si shivered in fear, she quickly replied, “Your humble consort dares not even entertain the thought.”When she finished, the black-robed man has also completely faded away.
Consort Tian Si stood up, her body flickered a split second and six light wheels appeared behind her, revealing the human gods that were inside them.
“Consort, what should we do now?” The human gods bowed and asked, “Can he be trusted?”
“We have no choice, but we shouldn’t trust him fully.” Consort Tian Si said, “I helped him in his quest of becoming the Heavenly Monarch in return for a chance for humanity to live with dignity. However, I am worried that after his success, he will throw his promise aside and kill me instead.”
The human gods were shocked, their faces changed drastically and one of the elders said, “Consort, if he is not reliable, why don’t we get in touch with the Human Sovereign Palace’s Yan Sovereign?”
“Don’t speak of the Human Sovereign Palace in front of me!” Consort Tian Si gave a frigid sneer, “Yan Sovereign? That old brat Jiang Yiqi cares only his own power and prestige, all those decisions he made brings only disgrace to the human ancestors and spits in the trust that the Nong Sovereign had in him. One day, I will drag him down from the throne and kill him myself! Don’t ever think about bringing this up anymore. We will do only what we are supposed to and if my plan fails, I will find a way to let you all live on before I die.”
The human gods were left with no choice, they nodded and heeded to her command.
“Now, our goal is to kill the Xian Tian Palace’ little princess!” Consort Tian Si ordered, “Keep your ears in the wind and eyes in the sky, I want all information on her to be reported to me as soon as possible. Now go.”
The gods flew out of her Yuan Shen secret realms and scattered out away.
Rays flashed across Consort Tian Si’s eyes, she shifted her appearance and turned into a four-armed Shan Shen Celestial Race male clansmen and left in tremendous speed.
Soon after, she leaped into midair and a rainbow bridge formed underneath her feet as she landed. On the other end of the rainbow bridge was a grand warship where Royal Prince Wen Dao was standing on the deck, accompanied by his royal guards as well as a Heavenly Deity who was casting the rainbow bridge.
“General Shan, how have things developed?” Rays flashed across Royal Prince Wen Dao’s eyes as he asked.
“Done.” Consort Tian Si bowed, she said in a hoarse voice, “Your Royal Highness, we have faked ourselves as the Xian Tian Palace’s little princess and Mister Yi, and killed Yang Changsheng. We have purposely left behind a survivor and hid faraway from the crash site. When the Xian Tian Palace’s little princess and Mister Yi rushed to the crash site, the survivor we’ve left behind had lost it when he saw them. He wanted to escape but Mister Yi killed him dead on the spot. Your humble general has recorded Mister Yi killing the god in this mirror. Please, may Your Royal Highness take a look at it.” As she finished, she took out a round mirror and presented it up.
Royal Prince Wen Dao took over the mirror and looked it; sure enough, it recorded the images of Zhong Yue turning into the Innate Golden Crow and killed the soldier in midair.
Royal Prince Wen Dao smiled, he passed the mirror to a Heavenly Deity and ordered it to be delivered to the Zhongyang Clan as fast as possible. Then, he turned to Consort Tian Si and laughed. “General Shan, a man of pride and honor you may seem like one, but your heart is darker than black. I never expected you to come up with such a cunning trick. With this, Mu Qingxuan will have no chance of explaining herself anymore and the Zhongyang Clan will spare no expense into her elimination. The outbreak of a war between the Zhongyang Clan and Xian Tian Palace is bound to happen, and the Zhongyang Clan will surely ask for father’s help. The Xian Tian Palace will be crushed in no time! General Shan, you’ve done well!”
Consort Tian Si smiled dumbly, “Your Royal Highness, His Majesty will be more than happy to see your achievements. With you blessed with His Majesty’s favor, your humble servant will also be happy for you.”
Royal Prince Wen Dao laughed while Consort Tian Si continued, “I’ve had a close eye on Mu Qingxuan and we found Mister Yi a master of disguise. He can shapeshift himself into one of my Shan Shen Celestial Race’s clansmen and tried to escape underground. Thus, I am worried that he may just be able to escape from us…”
Rays flashed across Royal Prince Wen Dao’s eyes, he said frigidly, “He won’t! General Shan, as a Shan Shen Celestial Race’s True Deity, do you think he can escape from you?”
“Definitely not, Your Royal Highness.” Consort Tian Si smiled.
“Then, stop him!” Royal Prince Wen Dao gave his order.
…
When Zhong Yue was traveling in the underground, he thought, If Consort Tian Si is truly part of the Luli Clan, then the Luli Clan must’ve been putting up a show searching for her just moments then so they could wash away the suspicions on them.
He initially planned on returning to the Luli Clan and make use of their influence to protect themselves from the fury of the Zhongyang Clan.
However, if Consort Tian Si was part of the Luli Clan, then returning to them would be akin to rushing back to death’s doorstep!
All of a sudden, Zhong Yue remembered something and his heart turned cold,Consort Tian Si was proficient in the art of Karma. Providing clues to the Luli Clan and leading them to Yang Changsheng’s crash site to fool them into thinking that Mu Qingxuan and I killed him was totally within Consort Tian Si’s capabilities. The Luli Clan was also a chess piece in her game, moreover, she must’ve even predicted my reaction!
Then again, even if Consort Tian Si was not part of the Luli Clan, the Luli Clan who found the little princess and Zhong Yue responsible for Yang Changsheng’s death would still not shelter Zhong Yue and the others from the Zhongyang Clan in fear of facing directly against the furious sovereign race.
Consort Tian Si’s Karmic Web was getting into action. Forging an incident that would cause a series of chain reactions that would spread across the whole Zi Wei Galaxy; eventually pulling all of the ancient races and clans into chaos!
Whereas Yang Changsheng, Zhong Yue, Mu Qingxuan, and the others were the exact chess pieces used to incite the universal chaos!
This lady sure was an intelligent and ruthless one. Her target was me and Mu Qingxuan all along. Seeing me, she wanted to include m into her Karmic Web and make me a chess piece of her board. And when she found out she couldn’t, she killed Yang Changsheng and framed us for that while also provoking the hatred between Xian Tian Palace and the Zhongyang Clan!
During his travel underground, such thoughts were flowing in his mind.
Consort Tian Si killed Yang Changsheng and framed them for that. This would incite deep hatreds from the Zhongyang Clan toward the Xian Tian Palace. While when given such a good chance, Heavenly Monarch and his forces wouldn’t have let it slide and will surely join hands with the Zhongyang Clan to suppress the Xian Tian Palace!
“Mister Yi, we can’t reach the Xian Tian Palace!” Bo Di and the others said.
Zhong Yue’s heart immediately sank and before anything, the earth shuddered as sharp and powerful waves of energy rose up from beneath them!
Above on the ground, Royal Prince Wen Chang’s warship hovered in the clouds. Royal Prince Wen Chang stood on the deck while Consort Tian Si opened her four arms beside him.
There was an eye in each on her palms, shooting bright rays down to the ground and shining through the earth.
Royal Prince Wen Chang looked down and gave a cold sneer, he raised a bow and shot the divine arrows down into the soil. The arrows moved in the underground like dragons and lunged at Zhong Yue!
Whereas deep in the underground, Zhong Yue sensed the incoming arrows and flipped his hands, shooting out innate Qi and broke the divine arrows into halves!
Royal Prince Wen Chang sneered again, he ordered, “Men, force him out from the dirts!”
Immediately, the gods on the warship gave a stern yell each and leaped down to the ground.
They dove into the soil and suddenly, the earth bulged out in the shapes of hands and fists before crumbling away shortly thereafter. Then, the earth surface cracked and blood gushed out from the cracks.
The gods were strong and powerful, but tackling Zhong Yue underground was the wrong decision to make. In the air, on the land, or in the underground, the landscapes had little effect on Zhong Yue. He was able to freely unleash his power in the underground and kill the gods at ease.
Royal Prince Wen Chang looked at the battle happening underground and sneered frigidly, “Bunch of useless garbage, can’t you all take down a mere human that you still need me to do it myself…”
Just as he was going to fly out from the warship, Chi—— , the sharp tip of a divine sword pierced through his chest from the back and out to the front. It was so sudden he couldn’t even comprehend the sudden changes, let alone react to it!
“Your Royal Highness…” Consort Tian Si moved forward and leaned her chest on his back, she whispered softly, “Senior Martial Brother Lu Wang wants me to greet you for him…”
