Rise of Humanity
chapter-934

“I’ll go with you.”

Fu Li immediately volunteered, “This is the Heaven Court, there are powerful foes everywhere! What if they play dirty….”

Zhong Yue smiled, “No, they won’t. Mo Yin may not have the required strength to pull off his tactics, he still wouldn’t resort to dirty tricks.”

Yin Fanxuan, however, did not hold the same thought, “But still, you have to be cautious. Darling, I will go see the messenger from my clan, perhaps my father is also here already.”

Zhong Yue thought for a while and after seeing no problem with that, he nodded.

Now that the Yinkang Clan had broken the curse from Heavenly Monarch Tian Yuan, they could finally get out from the State of Heavenly River. Hence, they wouldn’t want to miss the chance to attend the birthday celebration.

This celebration was greatly related to the fight for the world’s fate, and if the Yinkang Clan did not participate, when the Heavenly Monarch’s seat was claimed by someone else, everyone on the spot will try to get a piece of the cake and there would no longer be any space for the Yinkang Clan.

The clan master of the Yinkang Clan, Yin Bokang, knew this for sure and so would most likely see no other option but to come to the celebration.

Hundun Yu looked at the Fusang Tree and after a moment of consideration, he followed behind Zhong Yue, “No one is brave enough to walk too close to the tree. My ancestor wanted me to follow you so I’ll go where you go.”

Seeing no reason to turn them down, Zhong Yue had no choice but to let them follow behind.

The four exited the palace and with the perfect formation formed by the 24 monarch weapons, the world’s fate was directed towards Ling Xiao Palace. The monarch might no longer act upon the Heaven Court but instead, defended it and they could walk outside freely once again.

“The surroundings are too quiet.”

Fu Li said suddenly, “There seems to be a lot of gods eyeing us.”

Zhong Yue also noticed this; the West Heaven Court had always been the place where the Heavenly Monarch’s power resided. These gods had never been friendly to them but the situation had now changed. The gods that were hostile towards them were now the Heavenly and True Deities.

Obviously, the Heavenly Monarch’s birthday celebration was a gathering of talents, and so there were a lot of the young geniuses that followed their seniors to broaden their horizons.

Hence, the changes in the Board of Saints that may only be a trifling matter to the old gods were monumental news for the young gods.

And to the gods that had been ranked in the Board of Saints for a long time, seeing fresh faces suddenly overtake their ranks for inexplicable reasons left them feeling rather discontent.

Fu Li then asked around and returned, “Yinkang Clan is in the North Heaven Palace and Huaxu in the East Heaven Palace.”

The four then immediately headed toward the North Heaven Palace, passing through the alluring and beautiful Imperial Garden. Some parts in the Imperial Garden were extremely serious, the palaces were grand and sacred and some others were unique and strange.

There were real dragons twining around the pillars and there were nine beast gods, vermillion birds and fish dragons residing in the temples, palaces, and ponds.

With that beautiful scenery itself, if they were not in a hurry, Zhong Yue would really linger around in the Imperial Garden.

“Brother-in-law Yin and sister Yin! Halt!”

Zhong Yue turned around and he immediately saw a few familiar faces. They were the Getian Clan’s Ge Yishu, Lilian Clan’s Heavenly Lady Lilian Lingyu, Wuming Clan’s Heavenly Lady Wu Qingqing.

“Your wife is incredible! We cultivated a few ten years to become a Heavenly Deity but you are all already on the top of Board of Saints.”

Ge Yishu praised, “Shame, even until now I have yet entered the top hundred.”

Lilian Lingyu also shook her head, “Same. By the way, my cousin is looking for you now. She was the fifth in Board of Saints but now, she is seventh place and she is not happy about that.”

Meanwhile, Wu Qingqing walked towards Yin Fanxuan, placed her palm on Yin Fanxuan’s stomach, blinked her eyes and whispered something to Yin Fanxuan, which had Yin Fanxuan blushed incredibly. She then glanced at Zhong Yue before shaking her head and whispering, “Not yet.”

“Hurry up then!”

Lilian Lingyu craned her neck over and said, “If you can’t, then I wouldn’t mind having a child with brother-in-law. You can watch and learn from us!”

The embarrassed Yin Fanxuan immediately shouted, “How dare you! You have to go through me first!”

On the other hand, Wu Qingqing added, “Brother, Wu Baihe is also the same. You all need to be careful. Our Wuming Clan also has quite a number of talented ones who have married into the Heavenly Monarch’s clan. But that means they will be hostile toward Xian Tian Palace. You have a lot coming for you.”

“Wu Baihe’s rank?” asked Zhong Yue.

Wu Qingqing replied, “Not in the top ten.”

Suddenly, another few gods arrived and they said, “So you’re all here. It took us a while to find you!”

Zhong Yue turned around and saw the Wuhuai Clan’s Wuhuai Yu, the Dating Clan’s Ting Huali, and the Zhuxiang Clan’s Zhu Xianggong. They were all people in the State of Heavenly River that Zhong Yue once ran into and back then, they were just gods and they are now Heavenly Deities already.

“Congratulations, Mister Yi.”

Xiang Zungong laughed, “Both of you are now at the top of Board of Saints. The honor is ours. Previously, those guys in Heavenly Deity Board of Saints were all so proud and arrogant, looking down on us. They merely ascended to Heavenly Deity a few years earlier but they have the face to call us the next generation.”

Zhong Yue calmly replied with a smile, “They are also talented and they do live up to their fame.”

“True.”

Wu Huaiyu nodded, “Their strength is undeniably powerful, with all of them having the potential to become a monarch. The Titing Clan is a sovereign race, with rumors saying that they managed to complete their techniques that once had no Six Paths Reincarnation. Ti Mobei is very impressive and his strength is the most mysterious one among the Heavenly Deity level.”

Ting Huali added, “The Zhongyang Clan is also a sovereign race and Yang Fengping is no weaker than Ti Mobei. However, Yang Fengpeng has barely engaged in a fight so there is not much information about him. We have not been cultivating for as long as them so it is normal that we are slightly weaker. But given enough time, we will eventually catch up and even surpass them!”

“Mister Yi, Senior Martial Sister Yin, you’re here!”

A few more acquaintances had arrived. Lilu Clan’s Lu Wang, Panhu Clan’s Pan Xu, and Zhongyang Clan’s Yang Buping were all people Zhong Yue and Yin Fanxuan had come across before in the State of Heavenly River.

How did they know we are here?

Lu Wang and the others quickly chimed in and they began chatting happily with the rest of the group.

“Yi Feng, you are indeed over here!”

Everyone frowned at Tian Xuanzi’s loud voice. He was walking toward them and after glancing at Xiang Zungong and the others, he mocked, “So these garbage are here as well?”

“Tian Xuanzi, we heard that your marriage with Xian Tian Palace’s little princess has been rejected?” gritted Wu Qingqing.

Tian Xuanzi, however, seemed unphased, even laughing instead, “I feel even better after that! She did not want to marry me and that is her loss. Pretty girl, I know that you are in love with me but there are many others that are in love with me as well. So you will have to get in the line.”

Wu Qingqing bit her lips angrily and Shui Bier smirked, “Tian Xuanzi, you….”

“You get in the line too!” countered Tian Xuanzi.

Shui Bier almost lost her cool, but she barely managed to refrain from charging at Tian Xuanzi and tearing him into pieces.

Xiang Zungong then grinned, “Tian Xuanzi, I heard that you were smacked by your second ancestor for saying inappropriate things at the South Heaven Gate’s entrance? It really is a shame that I wasn’t not there, or I would have had you smacked even harder by your ancestor!”

“Just by yourself?”

Tian Xuanzi burst out laughing, “Get in the line, there are many that want to beat me up too!”

This giant’s vision scanned through the rest of them before he lamented, “I am a giant so I will be able to see further and clearer. As for you pathetic shorties, I can’t even use your height to contrast how tall I am! Luckily, my path is not lonely because Mister Yi and Madam Yin Fanxuan are strong enough to be my opponent! Yi Feng, are you going to accept my challenge or your wife?”

Lu Wang, Ting Huali, and the others were all furious and they only restrained themselves from beating Tian Xuanzi up together after trying all their best.

Xiang Zungong, however, was different. He whipped out his two battle axes and charged towards Tian Xuanzi before being stopped by everyone.

Seeing this, Zhong Yue felt extremely speechless and he was very curious as to how Tian Xuanzi survived for so long with that mouth.

“Tian Xuanzi, how did you know where I was?” asked Zhong Yue.

Tian Xuanzi stopped insulting the others and replied, “I stopped a random divine general from the Heaven Court and asked him.”

“How about you, Little Sister Qingqing?” asked Zhong Yue towards Wu Qingqing.

“Same.”

Zhong Yue nodded. He couldn’t help but praise how neatly Mo Yin handled his matters. With the Division of the Sky Surveillance’s power, it was not hard to ascertain Zhong Yue’s whereabouts and if these guys could find him, then so could Ti Mobei and the others.

“What is this place?”

Zhong Yue looked forward and a burly 4 headed and 8 armed statue entered his sight. The statue stood right at the centre of the plain field in front of him with its eight arms all stretched out.

In its palms were golden bulletins filled with names and portraits. There were also bridges that connected and circled around the celestial being’s statue, which looked like the celestial being’s Daos that turned into ribbons and later carved into bridges.

There were a lot of gods walking on the bridges, moving from one hand to another hand as they examined the golden bulletins.

“This is where the Board of Saints is located, it’s called the Martial Saint Stage.”

Tian Xuanzi said, “The Martial Saint Stage was built by the Heaven Court’s officer Mo Yin. They said that the statue is the Heaven Court’s Martial Saint, the Right Prime Minister King Shen Wuwei, and the golden bulletins in his hands are the many Board of Saints.”

“There are a total of eight of them? I’ve only heard that there were the Deity, Heavenly Deity, True Deity, Deity Overlord and Deity Emperor Board. What about the other three?”

“The officer, Mo Yin is an ambitious one, he is also planning on creating the Creator, Imperial Emperor and Monarch Board.”

Zhong Yue tracked the unfamiliar voice to its source and saw a young god walking down from King Shen Wuwei’s hand toward them. Each time he took a step, lightning would spark beneath his feet, “With the world in chaos now, the Creators, Imperial Emperors and monarchs are also struggling to survive. There will be a fierce battle soon, and Mo Yin reserved the three boards so that he could record the power of the Creators, Imperial Emperors and monarchs!”

Zhong Yue’s eyes flickered with interest and he asked, “You are not an ordinary god, may I have the honor of learning your name?”

“Titing Clan’s Ti Mobei.”

As if oblivious to the others around, Ti Mobei walked right up to Zhong Yue and stared right into his eyes, greeting, “Mister Yi, words around had it that you have the [Nine Step Plough Cracker] so I’ve left enough space for you. Now, let’s see how strong you are!”

Zhong Yue, however, did not look at Ti Mobei as he saw another few Heavenly Deities that were walking towards him and he replied, “What’s with the hurry, who are they?”

A handsome young man with extraordinary presence replied, “Yang Fengping of the Zhongyang Clan. Greetings, Mister Yi and Goddess Fanxuan.”

Another young god replied, “The late Heavenly Monarch’s surviving clan, Tianyuan Clan’s Yuan Mie.”

Then said an alluring female god, “Lilian Clan’s Lilian Qinghong.”

“Jinti clan’s Jin Buhuan.”

“Haoying Clan’s Hao Ri.”

Zhong Yue nodded softly, looked at these Heavenly Deities and suddenly, his vision landed right onto the blank Board of Saints in King Shen Wuwei statue hand. He then calmly proposed, “Everyone here today is very talented, each with the potential of becoming a monarch in the future. I am very pleased to see all of you future monarchs. Today, now that we are all gathered here, may I suggest that we rank ourselves for the future Board of Monarchs. How about that, darling?”
