Rise of Humanity

On the walls, Yin Fanxuan looked in awe as she exclaimed, “[Dao Worshipping] can be used in such a way?”

With his monarch level mentality, Feng Xiaozhong cast Innate Heavenly King up using the [Dao Worshipping]. Innate Heavenly King was entirely defenseless before Feng Xiaozhong’s [Dao Worshipping]!

[Dao Worshipping] was created by Feng Xiaozhong himself; it was most suitable to be cultivated by an Innate Saint Spirit Body, and Yin Fanxuan also cultivated [Dao Worshipping], except that she did not know that [Dao Worshipping] could be used in such a way!

The most ridiculous part was that when Feng Xiaozhong activated his seventh secret realm, he imitated the Innate Galaxy Spirit Body and triggered the strength within the Star River around the fortress, pushing the river’s power to the max in order to maximize [Dao Worshipping]’s power!

“Monster… What a monster…. ” mumbled the disheartened and shocked Yin Fanxuan.

The fact that she was an Innate Saint Spirit Body but the one who developed the specialties of Innate Saint Spirit Body to the peak was a human that had nothing to do with Innate Saint Spirit Body was unacceptable to her.

Zhong Yue, on the other hand, shook his head and said, “Darling, you’re wrong, he is not a monster but a scary genius.”

“Not good!”

Gui Youmin’s expression changed right away upon seeing this. He quickly charged out with his soldiers to save Innate Heavenly King while the Heavenly Suppression Fortress’ soldiers also charged out to protect Feng Xiaozhong.

Feng Xiaozhong on the other hand, did not move at all and he merely mumbled softly while staring at the foes charging right at him.

Hu—

The enemies floated into the skies, immobilized right away and in the next second, their own Daos were attached to the heaven and earth’s Daos, slowly being converted by them.

The scene was more than just terrifying as more and more gods arrived on the scene, only to be frozen in the skies and turned into Daos like flies; at the same time, even more gods who had little idea of what was happening came forth and they fell into the same situation.

On the other side, Zhong Yue immediately stopped his men from moving forward to prevent them from being attacked by Feng Xiaozhong.

Gui Youmin and the other commanders also ordered their soldiers to retreat right away, but there were already more than ten thousands of them being converted and assimilated into Daos, their body and Yuan Shen were all disintegrating swiftly!

After that, Gui Youmin and the other few monarch level existences charged forward but Feng Xiaozhong had already retreated swiftly back to the fortress where Yin Fukang and the Imperial Emperors charged out to cover him.

As for the Innate Heavenly King, he had already been absorbed by the heaven and earth Daos, there was not even a piece of his body and Yuan Shen left!

From midair, countless bone pieces fell from the skies as the countless gods’ body and Yuan Shen got absorbed, leaving only their skeletons that could not be converted!

The terrifying scene instilled fear into everyone, even Jiao Teng’s expression changed and she looked at Feng Xiaozhong with fear and respect.

Zhong Yue burst out laughing, “Old Man Xuan and Qi, are you going to come surrendering to me right now or wait for Gui Youmin to execute you both?”

Gui Youmin and the others who were about to clash with the Heavenly Suppression Fortress’ power were shocked by Zhong Yue and when they looked behind, Old Man Xuan and Qi had already packed their things. He charged forth with the furnace and hammer, formed Reincarnation dimensions with [Demonic Chant of Reincarnation] and hurled everyone around them into the dimensions.

“Left Prime Minister, Commander Lou, Mister Mo, we’re sorry!”

Old Man Xuan shouted, “We did not intend to betray, but we are left with no other option! We lost the bet so we had to pay for the price. Left Prime Minister, worry not, as long as King Yi is not the Heavenly Monarch, we will not be in the field and we will only be forging weapons for him!”

The enraged Gui Youmin, Lou Zhengshi, and the others immediately tried to halt the two old men, only to find themselves dragged into countless layers of Reincarnation dimensions. With that, they lost the golden opportunity to stop Old Man Xuan and Qi.

Zhong Yue hurriedly sent his men out, Long Zhi, Jiao Teng, Yinkang Navy, Xian Tian Royal Guards, and the others marched out, slamming into the enemy ranks and causing immense damage to the enemies.

Lou Zhengshi and the others turned back, and returned to their armies. After a battle lasted for days, they finally repelled Heavenly Suppression Fortress’s soldiers.

In the fortress, Zhong Yue set up a banquet to welcome Old Man Xuan and Qi and he smiled, “Dear brothers, could you please forge some equipments for our soldiers?”

Old Man Xuan and Qi glanced at each other and said, “We are willing to serve you, King Yi but only you, not Imperial Emperor Xian Tian.”

Zhong Yue smiled, “Then can you forge something that specifically targets the generals of the Heaven Court?”

Old Man Xuan replied, “That will take some time, Lou Zhengshi and the others are all peak Imperial Emperors so it will be difficult to forge a weapon that deals targets their weaknesses. As for Gui Youmin….”

Old Man Qi shook his head and continued, “We can’t forge a weapon that counters him, he has no weaknesses.”

Zhong Yue, however, remained very happy and he smiled, “Don’t worry, I can buy you enough time, but Gui Youmin has to be dealt with quickly. Brothers, just forge your weapons and I will deal with Gui Youmin on my own.”

The two old men exchanged another glance and Old Man Qi said seriously, “King Yi, Gui Youmin must not be underestimated. Back in the previous war for the throne, he was chased after by a monarch level existence and he survived the monarch and his monarch weapon.”

“Even then he couldn’t be killed?”

Zhong Yue’s expression changed slightly.

On the other hand, the Heaven Court’s army were all extremely bothered by the smithing noise. A few times, they tried to launch a sneak attack but were all forced back to their own camps.

Lou Zhengshi said, “Left Prime Minister, we’ll all probably be dead if Old Man Xuan and Qi are done forging the weapons, why don’t we ask Mister Mo for suggestions.”

Without any options, Gui Youmin was forced to summon Mo Yin; after Innate Heavenly King’s death, the furious Gui Youmin threw Mo Yin into the prison and was about to execute him. But now, it seemed like they were all in need of Mo Yin’s aid.

Mo Yin bowed, “I can set up an altar and perform a ritual to steal the fortress’ fate to take it as our own. Once its fate reaches the bottom, we will begin the siege. But first, I’ll need 8,000,000 soldiers to rob their fate! As for the weapons forged by Old Man Xuan and Qi, they are not a threat as long as we flexibly control the monarch weapons’ power to nullify the weapons and kill their generals!”

Gui Youmin’s expression was unstable as Mo Yin explained his tactics and Lou Zhengshi interfered suddenly, “Mister Mo, the fortress has some kind of formation that strikes as fast as lightning and as ferociously as Golden Crow, this formation had claimed countless of our brave warriors and I’d like to ask if Mister Mo knows about this formation and the way to counter it?”

His psyche gushed out and projected the images of the 9 towns 12 strongholds and Heavenly Suppression Fortress’ unique formation.

Mo Yin took a glance and after a moment, he answered, “This is the Golden Crow Formation, a formation where Mister Yi turns his army into a Golden Crow and attacks with the crow’s beak, talons, and wings.”

Lou Zhengshi and the others immediately walked closer to observe the formation and their confusion finally cleared away after hearing Mo Yin’s explanation.

“How do we counter it?”

“The Golden Crow is a powerful creature that is almost unbeatable when it comes to raw combat power.”

Mo Yin glanced at Pan Ji and said, “Not many can rival the Golden Crow, but Panhu is one of them. I can have my men form the Three-Headed Panhu formation to fight with the Golden Crow Formation, but this will require Clan Master Pan Ji to contribute his Panhu Clan’s body cultivation art.”

Lou Zheng suddenly said towards Gui Youmin, “Left Prime Minister, Mister Mo is indeed impressive in a way. I suggest we give him a go.”

The other generals nodded as well, “We suppose this can do.”

Seeing this, killing intent toward Mo Yin rose up in Gui Youmin, but he made sure not to reveal this on his face. He smiled, “Mister Mo, if your tactics help us to take down the fortress, I will free you from your death punishment and your contribution will be placed at the top of the list! I will give you the men you need for the altar and the ritual. But if you fail, I will cut you down right away!”

Mo Yin, who was entirely clueless about Gui Youmin’s hostility toward him, bowed in excitement, “Clan Master Pan Ji, this way please, I’ll perform the ritual and learn more about the Three Head Panhu Formation from you.”

Gui Youmin nodded and ordered Pan Ji to follow Mo Yin, who immediately started preparing the altar and the ritual while an ill intention rose in Gui Youmin, His existence is threatening my place! I guess I’ll covertly kill him in the chaos when the fortress is breached!

In the fortress, Zhong Yue ordered his generals to provoke the enemies but they avoided the challenges like a turtle. As this continued on for a few months, the Heaven Court’s morale dropped tremendously.

“My lord, they’ve set up an altar!”

A divine general reported and Zhong Yue hurriedly went up the walls to check, finding himself an altar standing right in the center among the enemy camps. This altar was huge with millions of gods standing on it.

With his divine third eye opened, Zhong Yue had a clear view of the altar; Mo Yin was the one holding the ceremony.

Mo Yin holds the Almanac of Fate, has the ability to steal one’s fate… Hmmm, is this altar set up in order to weaken the Heavenly Suppression Fortress’s fate?

Zhong Yue’s heart sank. Among the Fuxi Celestial Race’s Three Great Almanacs: Karma, Fate, and Six Paths, Consort Tian Si had already obtained Karma, turning the world into a mess. Yun Juanshu had Six Paths and was now in control of the life and death cycle, while Mo Yin possesses the Almanac of Fate, allowing him to alter fate.

The three almanacs were powerful in their own fields, with the Almanac of Six Paths being the strongest of the three. But the most mysterious one was the Almanac of Fate. Even the Heavenly Monarch and the others didn’t dare to guarantee that they understood the logic behind fate. Those who controlled the Almanac of Fate possessed the ability to rob one’s fate and take it as their own! Just this ability alone was more than insane!

Meanwhile, as Long Zhi and the others were observing, Zhong Yue suddenly said, “Everyone, summon the monarch weapons and raise the banner!”

No one understood what Zhong Yue wanted, but they followed his order regardless. The monarch weapons ascended into the air. The Fusang Divine Tree, Heavenly River Suppression Cauldron, and Create Evolve Mystical Gate all unleashed their almighty power. Long Zhi and Jiao Teng’s monarch weapons were also activated and their aura spread across the surroundings.

The two female Imperial Emperors were more than their looks; back in the previous war for throne, they had managed to raid some other races and steal a monarch weapon for themselves.

In the fortress, the five monarch weapons floated in all four directions, North, South, East, West and the center of the fortress. Aside from that, there were also more than 300 Heavens hung high above the air.

*This should be enough to stop Mo Yin’s plan, I guess. *

The five monarch weapons started pressing the fate around the fortress, strengthening the fortress to a point where it became even sturdier than some ancient sovereign and imperial races!

Upon seeing the five monarch weapons, Gui Youmin’s expression turned right away and he came charging to Mo Yin, “King Yi knows about your plan and he set up a barrier with five monarch weapons, do you have anything to deal with it?”

Mo Yin smiled, “Prime Minister, why so worried? During His Majesty’s birthday celebration, I can even shift all the monarch weapons’ fate and there were more than ten of them back then! A mere five monarch weapons won’t stop me.”

After completing his ritual, he left Gui Youmin on the spot and turned to Pan Ji to learn about the Three Head Panhu Formation; Pan Ji revealed his true form, turning into a three-headed Panhu with dragon scales to allow Mo Yin to observe his movements and the soul of a Panhu.

After that, Pan Ji started performing the Panhu Clan’s body cultivation art and Mo Yin continued observing Pan Ji.

On the second day, Mo Yin started another ritual and studied with Pan Ji, repeated the same procedure for about another hundred days but he mentioned nothing about sieging the fortress.

Gui Youmin who could not wait any longer led his men onto the altar and questioned Mo Yin coldly, “Mo Yin, it has been more than four months ever since the altar is set up but you’re still wasting time here! I am sure Old Man Xuan and Qi are probably done forging the weapons that can strike our men down by now!”

Mo Yin bowed, “All I need is half a year more, the soldiers are not familiar with the formation yet.”

Gui Youmin replied coldly, “Half a year is too long! I can only give you two more months and if you still can’t give me an answer, I will have to hang your head on walls! Mark my words!”
