Rise of Humanity

Is he a fake Hell Overseer just like me? Zhong Yue kept the torn paper and thought, he changed his voice and conversed through his psyche, “Since that we are colleagues, it is our duty to help one another. However, is there any prove that you are truly a Hell Overseer?”

It was clear that this white Wu Chang was the intruder wanted by the judges, but even so, Zhong Yue had no intention of making him an enemy. After all, engaging in a battle with a strong god like this one would definitely alert the guardians of Hell and attract unnecessary attention.

However, Zhong Yue had the spirit tablet of the Hell Overseer, it would be advantageous for Zhong Yue as it could be used to threaten the intruder if the intruder didn’t have one!

The white Wu Chang took out a spirit tablet, and replied with his psyche while also changing his voice, “My spirit tablet is here, where is yours?”

Zhong Yue praised in his heart when he saw the similar tablet, This man is well prepared.

Then, Zhong Yue took out his spirit tablet. None of them were able to find any flaws in the tablets, and both of them smiled at one another as they kept the tablets away.

“So we are indeed colleagues.” Zhong Yue laughed, “It is my honor to help a friend in need.”

The white Wu Chang thanked him, “Brother, this way please.”

The white Wu Chang lead Zhong Yue up to the eighth level, then ninth, eventually moving up until the tenth level.

The tenth level already belonging to the Book of Life and Death of the Celestial Realm. The races here were all the prominent celestial and demon races, they were of a realm higher than the Myriad Realm.

Could he be royalty? He isn’t planning to change the Book of Life and Death but to take his name off from it so he can decides his own fate? If the page where his name is recorded in the book is taken off, he will be able to control his own destiny and reincarnate himself into any race or any realm he desired!

Zhong Yue thought as he followed the white Wu Chang up to the thirteenth level. There were only a few hundred books on this level, each belonging to a royal race.

The fourteenth level had only over a hundred books, while the fifteenth level had fewer than a hundred. But even so, the white Wu Chang didn’t stop and still continued to move up to the higher levels!

Zhong Yue’s face grew gloomer as they climbed higher. The sixteenth level belonged to the Heaven realm, the races that lived there were the greatest and noblest of all in the whole Six Paths World!

Not only that, but royal blood flowed in their veins, they were also the races that ruled over this Six Paths World!

“There!” The white Wu Chang stopped at the sixteenth level, he flipped to a page in one of the books and said, “This is it brother, please cut it down for me.”

Zhong Yue stared deeply into the intruder’s eyes through the mask, trying to glean any clues out from it. However, the mask was a divine treasure that was impenetrable to his eyes, and the Book of Life and Death along with the details of it were covered by godly rays.

The white Wu Chang was incredibly cautious, he had concealed every detail that could’ve expose his identity, stopping Zhong Yue from getting any clues at all.

Is he really the intruder Hell is hunting for? Or is he someone else? Zhong Yue cast the【Dragon Shear】and proceeded to cut down the page while thinking to himself.

Whereas the white Wu Chang was also staring at Zhong Yue while furtively studying the totem patterns of the【Dragon Shear】in attempt to find out who he is.

However, the【Dragon Shear】was a skill created by Feng Xiaozhong, and was only imparted to Zhong Yue alone. It was impossible for one to learn anything from it.

An awkward atmosphere permeated the air between the two. The two of them were dressed the same, but both of them knew their identities were fake.

Moments later, the page was torn off from the book and it immediately fell into the hands of the white Wu Chang, who stored it away in his Yuan Shen secret realms.

The two of them exchanged one last look with an uncanny smile on their faces, they clasped their hands at one another and left together.

Zhong Yue returned to the first level and quickly cast the page he tore off from the Bai Zhe Clan’s Book of Life and Death up with the others before leaving.

Outside of the Six Paths Paragon, Qiu Jin’er and Lan Si God were waiting for him already. They heaved a breath of relief when they saw him, and the three left immediately.

Zhong Yue turned around and saw the white Wu Chang sneaking away from another direction.

“Senior martial brother, he…” Qiu Jin’er noticed the white Wu Chang also and beseeched.

“Someone just like us, with the same intention.” Zhong Yue whispered quietly, “He has a spirit tablet too. I met him in the seventh level and lended him a hand.”

“He is also a fake Hell Overseer?” Qiu Jin’er exclaimed in shock.

“Of course.” Zhong Yue answered, and his face suddenly changed drastically. Just as he raised his speed, an appalling aura has reached to them from the far end of the horizon within a second, and a furry paw grabbed on the Six Paths Paragon!

The furry paw was huge and muscular, the furs were golden in color and the veins bulged out with abstruse totem patterns flowing within the flesh.

The sky cracked like a shattered mirror when the furry paw slammed down, and the buildings around the paragon had dissipated into dusts. Elements of nature pulsed out centering the furry paw as they ravaged the surrounding.

Lan Si was filled with terror, while Zhong Yue abruptly grabbed his arm and flashed a thousand miles away from the shockwave.

The shockwave cleared out every building in its path and flattened the land. It propagated so quickly that the guardians in the Serene Darkness Mansion couldn’t even react to it before they perished into dust and ashes!

Even though saved, Lan Si God was still terrified and didn’t even dare to turn and look back, Emissary Chang Tianji saved me, but why didn’t he save Emissary Chang Buyu?

Little did he know that Qiu Jin’er was just a step behind them. Her Innate Wood Spirit was on the verge of awakening and her speed in Hell was not much slower than Zhong Yue’s, allowing her to keep pace with them.

If she truly awoke her Innate Wood True Spirit, her prowess in hell wouldn’t be any weaker than Zhong Yue’s!

This was also why Bi and An selected her to follow Zhong Yue. After all, it was one’s soul and spirit that determined their prowess in Hell.

So that white Wu Chang was not the intruder the judges are hunting for, the intruder is the owner of this golden furry paw! Zhong Yue thought curiously while bolting away from the shockwave, But if he is not the intruder, then exactly who is this white Wu Chang?

Behind them, the shockwave was still ravaging the lands even though it was already a few tens of thousands of miles away from the center of impact. However, its power was considerably weaker than before now.

The Serene Darkness City was far too huge, even a sun was only a tiny marble to it. Even though the furry paw was able to destroy a huge piece of land, it was only just a small section to the whole Serene Darkness Mansion.

Even after traveling tens of miles, Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin’er were still in the Serene Darkness Mansion.

Suddenly, Zhong Yue stopped and looked up. A translucent bell hung high up in the sky like a sun and was falling down at them.

Kong—

It crashed down from the sky within seconds and covered the whole Serene Darkness Mansion within. Marvelous totem patterns glimmered for a split second around the bell wall and the bell went invisible, fading away in a different dimension.

“We are trapped!” Zhong Yue’s face turned gloomy.

As they stopped, the shockwave finally caught up and swallowed them away.

Lan Si God groaned in pain and bawled. All of a sudden, he noticed Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin’er unaffected by the shockwave, he then realized that the shockwave was too weak to harm them now.

Lan Si God lowered his voice and laughed awkwardly.

Zhong Yue placed him down and looked at the Six Paths Paragon.

The furry paw clenched on the paragon, and shook it heavily to try and uproot it, but the paragon remained staunchly attached the ground.

Gloomy clouds also quickly emerged in the sky, and the faint figure of hideous being emerged behind the clouds.

He was huge, but the gloomy clouds around him shrouded his identity, it was impossible to even determine his origin.

Even though it was locked inside of the translucent bell, the hideous creature seemed nonchalant to its circumstances.

What cultivation level is he at? Perhaps, a Deity Emperor? Zhong Yue thought sternly.

Then, another 18 appalling auras surged in from all directions, they stopped around the translucent bell. Countless palms pressed on the transparent bell wall following by a three-eyed face. Godly rays burst out from the eyes and shone on the hideous creature.

Then, another 17 faces lowered close to the bell surface and looked at the hideous being.

“The 18 judges are all here!” Lan Si God was shivering in total terror as he mumbled.

Zhong Yue’s and Qiu Jin’er’s hearts sank. The 18 judges were all here, and they were trapped in the Serene Darkness Mansion by the translucent bell.

The situation didn’t bode well for them regardless of which side won in the upcoming battle!
