Chapter 777: Human Fu Li

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

The Starry Road to Heavens was composed of many ancient teleportation formations, each of which were a few hundred galaxies apart.

It was then only Zhong Yue that knew that the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds he saw weren’t the whole universe, but instead, just a small part of it. The universe itself was countless times bigger than the whole of the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds, but when compared to the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds, the other parts of the universe were barren and desolate.

But it wasn’t too surprising either, after all, with the emergence of the Six Paths Reincarnations, a majority of the living beings were more than willing to migrate to the Six Paths Worlds in hopes of extending their lives. In stark contrast, the ancient universe didn’t have the Six Paths Reincarnations, leaving the ones that still lived there with comparatively shorter lifespans.

Zhong Yue and Jiang Yiqi boarded a teleportation formation that was built on a stage. Although, instead of referring to it as a stage, the teleportation formation was, in fact, built on top of an ancient city in the ancient universe.

It was built from a star, but sliced into half by an unknown expert. The ancient city was built on the flat surface and from afar, the city appeared to be incredibly grand and solemn.

That expert even captured a sun and moon and made them orbit around the city, giving way to the creation of mountains and rivers and every other natural phenomenon.

On the city walls were countless deep battle marks.

“Strange, this is the Starry Road, why would there be marks of battles?” Zhong Yue asked curiously.

Jiang Yiqi shook and reply, “As long as there are people, there will be conflict. Wars aren’t uncommon here, let alone a place that has the strategic value that the Starry Road to Heavens does.

When the two arrived at the ancient city, there were a million gods standing on guard vigilantly; clearly, the Zi Wei Galaxy’s higher-ups valued the city greatly.

So many gods, who are they guarding against?

Zhong Yue was puzzled, with the universe now united and ruled by the Heavenly Monarch. No matter the celestial races or demon races, all had bowed upon the Heavenly Monarch’s rulings; unless, they would like to throw their lives away or be imprisoned in the Prison Realms’ Abyss for the rest of their lives.

In an era like this, there was simply no reason for a million gods to stand guard for just one teleportation formation of the whole Starry Road to Heavens.

Hence, there was only one explanation for this - outside of the Zi Wei Imperial Star’s ruling system, there were still some other threats to the supreme ruler’s governance; otherwise, there would be no need for them to do all of this.

“There are forces in the ancient universe that refused to lower their heads to the rulers. There are also some powerful experts that thought the races under the Zi Wei Imperial Star’s governance had defied their nature. The celestials and demons never lived harmoniously. Those that did were regarded as traitors.”

Jiang Yiqi explained, “These forces upheld the nature of their races, they look down upon those in the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds and they are extremely dangerous. That’s why the million gods are stationed here, to guard against them.”

“Doesn’t the Zi Wei Heavenly Monarch try to exterminate them as well?” Zhong Yue asked.

“The ancient universe is far too huge to be fully conquered. Plus, there are also many hidden innate gods living in the ancient universe, they are presences that even the Heavenly Monarch doesn’t want to interfere with.”

Then, the duo boarded the teleportation formation and left for the next destination, while he continued, “Other than them, there are also many powerful gods who have offended the Rules of Heaven and escaped to seek refuge in the ancient universe.”

Then, he hesitated for a second and said, “Rumors said that there was also a contingent of Fuxi clansmen that sought refuge in the ancient universe a long time ago; but it is unknown if they still exist now.”

Zhong Yue shook his head, those that have escaped from the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds were most likely all gone. The evil experts’ curse would progressively seal the Fuxi’s blood generation after generation until their bloodline power became completely sealed.

There was no place for the Fuxi to live, no matter where they were.

But then, how did Si Ming become a pureblood Fuxi ? Zhong Yue’s mind questioned.

It was impossible for a pureblood Fuxi to be born anymore, whereas to create one from a human’s sealed bloodline, Zhong Yue knew just exactly how difficult it was.

But if so, how and where did Si Ming become a pureblood Fuxi?

It was half a year’s time later when they boarded the second teleportation formation. They were now already in the deeper parts of the ancient universe, far from the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds.

Here, the gods that were stationed around the teleportation formation were much stronger than those they had come across previously. From Zhong Yue’s crude estimation, there were more than a few tens of Deity Emperors!

The city walls here were higher, broader, and filled with more than countless battle marks on them. One could just tell how grueling and bloodshed the battles were.

Clearly, the gods in the ancient universe were much stronger, to be able to inflict this kind of damage, but the Zi Wei gods managed to hold the city walls.

Another half a year’s time later, they reached the third teleportation formation. Zhong Yue saw there were heads that hung above the city walls, they were still fresh and dripping blood from the decapitated necks.

Then, there were also many gods seen repairing the city walls, patching the holes and strengthening the walls’ integrity while the other gods were moving the corpses away from the battlefield. Some of these corpses were even buried inside the city walls, using the gods’ strong mortal body and divine blood to enhance the strength of the walls.

“There are Deity Emperors among the dead!” Zhong Yue’s heart palpitated in shock to see even see dead Deity Emperors!

“Normal.” Jiang Yiqi shook, “It is common here for the gods, nothing extraordinary. Let’s make haste, we still have a long way to go.”

Zhong Yue peered into the ancient universe before leaving from the teleportation formation where many gods were coming and going from the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds and Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror.

“Huh? This doesn’t feel right, the number of gods using the teleportal has increased.” Jiang Yiqi said curiously, “Back then, there would only be a few thousand gods at most that would use the teleportal; but now, in the Third Divine City alone, there are over ten thousand gods. What is happening here?”

Then, when Zhong Yue and Jiang Yiqi arrived at the Fourth Divine City, an air of battling aura and killing intent surged into their faces, causing them to also raise their arcane energy to resist the overwhelming aura.

They looked around and saw the whole ancient city in silence and the gods stood in vigilance while clenching their divine weapons tightly. On the higher ground were Deity Emperors turning into their true forms and or their strongest battle forms, each and every one of them looked like peculiar celestial beings.

A Creator! Zhong Yue’s heart skipped a beat, he looked at the city center square and saw an independent dimension of golden lights hovering above it, and in the dimension sat atop it had a divine aura.

His aura alone seemed to create a world around him, a world where golden lotuses bloomed and withered, a world where the only color was gold.

This was only achievable by a Creator!

The guardian to the Fourth Divine City was a Creator!

Even the Creator was a guard, what exactly could stress them this much?

Zhong Yue and Jiang Yiqi looked out and saw in the midst of the ancient universe’s starry sky, there was a patch of golden cloud flying toward them.

The golden cloud was speedy, it took only moments to reach a planet and covered the planet in it. Then, when it moved again, the planet turned barren and was left with holes everywhere.

“That is…” Zhong Yue’s face changed drastically as he saw the golden cloud’s true nature — a swarm of golden insect gods!

For the insect swarm was flying in the ancient universe and at such a tremendous speed, they were clearly the insect gods!

Whereas for them to be able to devour a planet in such a short time, they would naturally be numbered more than one could count!

And now, the patch of golden cloud was flying toward them. The whole of Fourth Divine City dimmed down as the golden insects covered the sun in it and started devouring it!

The insect gods flew into the sun and sucked the sun’s energy dry. When the golden cloud left, the sun was now extinguished and only a dark and hallow astronomical body was left on the spot!

“Oh my…” Jiang Yiqi’s heart skipped a beat, he quickly pulled Zhong Yue to his side and whispered, “Although there are insects in the ancient universe, the appearance of such a huge swarm of insects is nothing I’ve heard before. There must be a culprit who is responsible for this. I am afraid the Fourth Divine City won’t hold long, we should leave now!”

Zhong Yue nodded. The insects were clearly not just passing by, they have been strengthening themselves by devouring the energies of the astronomical bodies on their way here, all so they could take down the Fourth Divine City.

But just when they were entering the teleportation formation, Zhong Yue saw the insect gods shrouding the skies of the Fourth Divine City and centered around a giant when the giant stared a pair of cold eyes at the gods.

“A human!” Zhong Yue exclaimed in utter shock.

Jiang Yiqi also stopped and looked at the giant. The giant was incredibly brawny with bulging muscles, donned with only short pants made of beast hide and clenched a bone mace in his hands; as well as the ability to control the swarm of insect gods.

Under his feet were two huge Mother Queens who he has tamed into insect pets.

“He is really a human!” Jiang Yiqi’s face turned dramatically, he also exclaimed in shock, “He is the descendants of the Fuxi in the ancient universe!”

“Fuxi descendants…” Zhong Yue’s eyes were filled with complex emotions when he looked at the human giant. Whereas the human giant’s eyes were glancing over the Fourth Divine City, shuddering the dimension and sparked lightning everywhere he looked at; a sign that he has awakened the Leizhe blood in him.

All of a sudden, the giant saw Zhong Yue and Jiang Yiqi and became startled.

Whereas in the city, the gods, even the Deity Emperors were soaked in their sweats, their hearts strained in anxious while the Creator city guardian sat unmovingly as the gods’ breath grew harder.

The insect gods had outnumbered them greatly that even if they could win, countless would die!

It was then that the giant turned and left, he disappeared in the midst of golden insects; and the golden cloud flew away deeper into the ancient universe.

“A human is here today, I will spare your lives and save it for another day.” The giant’s voice rumbled like thunder as he said.

Then, the gods in the Fourth Divine City heaved a breath of relief, most even nearly collapsed to the ground in the after fear. Only the Creator remained tranquil, but one could tell he was also much relaxed.

“He is the human Fu Li of the ancient universe, warred the Fourth Divine City for more than countless times. Who knew he would leave for a human.” The Creator said solemnly, “Do we have a human here in the Fourth Divine City? Please, invite him over for me.”

But Zhong Yue and Jiang Yiqi had already left.
