Rise of Humanity

Gui Youmin laughed, “Fu Baotian is just an unworthy dog with no honor, who dares to trust someone like him? His purpose here is most likely to see Wu Dulang! My guess is that Imperial Emperor Xian Tian is suspecting Mister Yi’s origin and he is trying to learn the truth about Mister Yi’s identity through Wu Dulang! Your Majesty, all you need to do is summon Wu Dulang, let me speak with him for a while, tell him to play dumb when meeting Fu Baotian and Yi Feng’s death will occur with the return of Fu Baotian!”

Heavenly Di Ming looked at Mo Yin and said, “What do you say, Mister Mo?”

Mo Yin hesitated and said, “I think that there is no need to have Wu Dulang play dumb. He was never Yi Feng’s match from the start, whether it be in wisdom or strength. Making him play dumb will only have the effect of putting him on alert. Hence, I suggest that we let Wu Dulang do what he does best and with that, Yi Feng will be killed by Imperial Emperor Xian Tian, leaving one less enemy for His Majesty.”

Heavenly Di Ming nodded, “Then we will proceed with Mister Mo’s plan.”

Gui Youmin stared at Mo Yin hearing this for a few seconds while Mo Yin lowered his head as he was afraid to meet Gui Youmin’s eyes.

The two then exited the palace with Mo Yin walking away with his head lowered and Gui Youmin laughing as he halted Mo Yin, “Miste Mo, please halt.”

Mo Yin stopped right away and Gui Youmin continued, “My shoes are dirty. Usually, the human slaves serving me will clean them for me, but now that they are not here and you are a human too, come and clean my shoes.”

Without hesitation, Mo Yin knelt on the ground and swept away the dust on Gui Youmin’s shoes.

Gui Youmin was a little surprised by this but second later, he burst out laughing, walked over Mo Yin as he left.

Mo Ying stood up silently without showing emotions but his fists were deadly clenched, Intelligence is nothing before absolute power…. Intelligence is nothing before absolute power…. This humiliation today shall be returned by a hundred times!

He returned to his place and thought, Killing Mister Yi is not that easy. Fu Baotian’s fate is not good at the moment, he will not be able to kill Mister Yi so there is no need for me to use the art of fate….

After entering the Heaven Court, Fu Baotian befriended Wu Dulang and it did not take long until he got into good terms with Wu Dulang. Fu Baotian then carried out his task, observing Wu Dulang’s behaviors and actions and he quickly remembered them all after a year.

Wu Dulang is really not bad, but his talent was only average among the innate gods. No matter how good he became, he was still far inferior to that Yi Feng!

Fu Baotian secretly left Heaven Court and just as he was about to leave the Imperial Star, he heard a voice laughing, “Senior Baotian, do you still remember Wuji?”

Fu Baotian turned around and he saw Feng Wuji walking out from a palace accompanied by a handsome young god who was so outstanding that none could ignore his presence.

Fu Baotian then snarled, walked towards Feng Wuji and stared at his face angrily, “Little Wuji, you have placed me in a very difficult position!”

Feng Wuji immediately smiled back apologetically, “This little friend of yours is the same! I’ve been set up by that brat King Yi and almost lost my life! I wanted to risk everything to try my very best to notify the unworldly world but that sneaky and dirty King Yi robbed me of my scroll!”

Fu Baotian waved his hands and said, “Let us not speak of this anymore. Don’t go to the unworldly world anymore for after King Yi disguised as you, rose chaos within the unworldly world, you will be killed right away when you enter the land.”

Feng Wuji’s expression darkened down right away.

Fu Baotian then turned to the young god standing beside Feng Wuji and asked, “And this is?”

“A good friend of mine, his name is Feng Mingshan.”

Feng Wuji smiled, “He is out from the mountain under his teacher’s order to seek for more knowledge and experience for himself. Just in case you don’t know, senior, his teacher is the one who stays in the Heavenly Fire Barren Land.”

“Heavenly Fire Barren Land?”

Fu Baotian was caught off guard by this surprising revelation. He quickly kept away his ego and smiled, “I see, so you’re that existence’s pupil. Forgive me for not able to recognize you sooner.”

Feng Mingshan shook, “It’s alright, it’s not your fault.”

Fu Baotian then excused himself, “I’ve some urgent matters to attend to right now. Wuji, Brother Mingshan, farewell.”

Feng Wuji watched as Fu Baotian exited from his vicinity and smiled, “When he returns, King Yi will be dead. Shame, I’ve always thought that he would die by my hands.”

Feng Mingshan blinked, “King Yi? The rank one on the Board of Future Monarch?”

“That’s him.”

Feng Wuji sighed, “He can be considered as my greatest enemy and I am really not happy that I am not the one that killed him.”

With mixed emotion, Feng Mingshan agreed, “Unable to compete with the rank one is really a shame. I really desire to compete with him this time as I came out but he….”

Meanwhile, Fu Baotian did not want to tally around anymore and he rushed back to the Xian Tian Palace quickly.

About two months later, he finally reached the vicinity of Xian Tian Palace’s power and much to his surprise, violet light illuminated at the front of his path. Fu Baotian’s heart thumped, only to find a palace floating in the galaxy, with King Zi Guang’s carriage parked at the side and a few ladies who were all King Zi Guang’s wives.

Why is King Zi Guang here?

A confused Fu Baotian approached them slowly and a lady who saw him smiled, “Is that Senior Fu Baotian?”

Fu Baotian nodded and the lady said again, “Darling, Senior Fu Baotian is here.”

King Zi Guang got out of the palace and Fu Baotian immediately confronted him, “Mister Zi Guang, I’ve completed the mission. I’ve come to understand Wu Dulang’s behavior and capability after about a year of time…. This is?”

Beside King Zi Guang stood an innate god, muscular, colored eyes and beardy, making him seem very powerful and he was an Imperial Emperor!

Even among the innate gods, there were not many that managed to achieve this level so this person was definitely a very powerful and talented one!

“This is Bi Luo Palace’s Di Xiuluo.”

King Zi Guang gently said, “I came out to look for him and to ask him to assist in our lord’s conquest. You’ve come on the right timing, come, introduce yourself to Di Xiuluo.”

Hearing this, Fu Baotian bowed right away and smiled, “I am Fuxi Celestial Race’s Fu Baotian, greetings, Di Xiulo.”

However, the innate god remained expressionless, said nothing and did nothing.

After receiving a cold shoulder, Fu Baotian remained silent yet unhappy while King Zi Guang asked, “I asked you to record Wu Dulang’s actions, where are they?”

“In my eyes.”

Fu Baotian laughed before his eyes shone brightly, revealing everything he found out about Wu Dulang.

King Zi Guang paid close attention to the images shown before him, observing Wu Dulang’s intelligence and strength. After a long time, he finished watching everything.

His expression turned grim right away and he murmured, “Wu Dulang is inferior to Mister Yi in every way, even his strength was no match for Mister Yi if they are on the same level.”

Fu Baotian squeezed out a smile and added, “Which meant that this Mister Yi is not Li Yang? King Zi Guang, this is something not to be ignored! If I told Imperial Emperor Xian Tian about this, our lord would remove this traitorous Yi from the game! This is a huge contribution …”

“Don’t’ worry, I will not steal your credit.”

King Zi Guang gave himself a moment to think, Why did Mister Yi sneak into we Xian Tian Palace as Li Yang? What is he looking for? And who is he really?

On the other hand, Fu Baotian’s eyes lit up with hope and grinned, “No matter what this traitor is up to, we mustn’t keep him around anymore! Kill him! With that elite army under his command, he will quickly become a problematic threat if he betrayed us!”

King Zi Guang nodded, seemingly agreed with him and said, “You’re right, absolutely right…. Fu Baotian, I will report back to our lord about what you contributed. The lord will definitely entrust you with more responsibilities! Servants, bring the fine wine!”

The lady servants then served them fine wine before King Zi Guang invited Fu Baotian to have a seat. After a few drinks, King Zi Guang gradually got drunk and he had Di Xiulo and Fu Baotian continue to enjoy the wine while he got out and stood outside the palace.

Suddenly, the palace gates shut and released a loud banging noise.

Seconds later, Fu Baotian could be heard shouting in anger and surprise, then terrifying shockwaves slammed onto the walls as if there were two beasts fighting in the palace!

But even the sturdy palace was not strong enough to withstand the horrifying clashings; the walls shook vigorously and shown signs of crumbling!

“Di Xiuluo, what are you doing!”

Fu Baotian’s shouting was heard as Di Xiuluo suddenly attacked him!”

“Mister Zi Guang, Di Xiuluo has gone mad, he is trying to kill me! Help!”

“Save me, Mister Zi Guang!”

However, King Zi Guang remained expressionless as he looked at the scene on the outside while murmuring, “How sturdy, these innate gods are just so powerful.”

One of his wive looked at the palace and she voiced out her question, “Darling, inside of the palace….”

“Everything inside is normal.” replied King Zi Guang calmly, “Di Xiuluo likes flesh. In order to exchange for his services, I have to provide him the flesh of a peak Imperial Emperor, hence, this Fu Baotian was the flesh that I offered to him.”

His gaze turned steely cold but his tone remained calm, “Mister Yi, an extremely talented person but he is not Li Yang. He served our lord with a different purpose, an ill purpose but this is not the time to touch him right now. With me alone, our lord’s conquest will be a difficult one but Mister Yi can help relieve a great deal of pressure for us. All I need to do now is learn his secrets as much as I can and once our lord sits on the throne, Mister Yi’s time will come.”

King Zi Guang smiled, “But our lord must not know about this yet for he would definitely not be able to pretend as if nothing had happened in front of Mister Yi if he knew about this. Mister Yi is a very observant and sharp person, I have no choice but to sacrifice Fu Baotian. Compared to this Fuxi trash, Mister Yi’s value is beyond measure.”

Meanwhile, after a series of turbulence, the palace finally returned to calm.

King Zi Guang then opened the gate only to see Di Xiuluo feasting on the table, a serpent tail in his mouth and the tail slowly disappeared in his mouth.

“Di Xiuluo, the eye I wanted?” asked King Zi Guang with a frown.

“There you go,” said Di Xiuluo as he threw out Fu Baotian’s eyes, which were all his divine eyes.

King Zi Guang kept the eyes away and calmly said, “Now that you have your feast, is it time for you to go see Imperial Emperor Xian Tian? I assume that a peak Imperial Emperor is enough for you?”

“Let’s go,” answered Di Xiuluo.

“Once we get there, speak nothing about what you shouldn’t speak of.”

“Of course.”
