Chapter 892: Prehistoric Dark Era

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

With the many Star Torrent Fortress’ new forces joining Heaven Suppressing Grand Stronghold, Zhong Yue’s speed increased rapidly; with the new forces and the original 30 million men all throwing themselves into construction, Heaven Suppressing Grand Stronghold was changing every day at every moment.

In order to make Heaven Suppressing Grand Stronghold indestructible, Zhong Yue spent a great deal of efforts on the warships, fortresses, courts, palaces, banners, war drums, bows, spears, and other military equipment. All of them were redesigned by him and passed to Chi Song and the others to be produced.

With more than 3 million men hammering at the many Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace, refining them with their own totem patterns, the scene invoked a feeling of awe.

And there were also other men that Zhong Yue separated from the rest; these were the 8 million strongest men that were tasked with operating the eight scrolls while 60 Creators, Deity and Demonic Overlords gathered around as they channeled the power of the 28 Heavens into the eight scrolls.

With that, eight array formations became increasingly stronger as time passed, there were signs of Secular Worlds emerging within, it was only a matter of time before it turned into a Creator level item!

Meanwhile, there were another 2 million men were dispatched to monitor the four Creators beside the City Gates of Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, Azure Dragon, and White Tiger. The Creators were forced to dive into star river, salvaging any items they could, especially those precious items like the micro-universes.

The Heavenly River was where a new universe was attempted to be opened; it was where Yin Fanxuan salvaged 24 micro-universes and crafted them into 24 Secular Worlds on her jade flute. Whereas the star river beneath Heaven Suppressing Palace was also left behind by an attempt to open the Impossible World, it would definitely contain something no weaker than the Heavenly River.

However, after numerous attempts, the Creators found nothing and instead, ended up with countless injuries.

“My lord! We’ve found something!”

One day, when Zhong Yue and YIn Fanxuan were exchanging ideas on cultivation, ruckus emerged on the outside. They both immediately headed out from the King’s palace, only to find countless gods setting aside their tasks and looked towards the East Gate of Azure Dragon.

From the gate, a massive Hua Yu Celestial Race’s Creator was climbing towards the city walls from the Heavenly River with all his strength; despite his massive body, strong claws, he was still struggling to drag the item he salvaged from the river to the ground.

His front claws mowed deep into the ground in front of him and the chains that were around his upper body stretched all the way into the river, tied onto some unknown items.

Whatever the chains were tied to was just too heavy; instead of dragging it out from the river, the Hua Yu Creator was being dragged back into the river.

Upon seeing this, a Creator who was on the side hurled his chains towards Hua Yu Creator’s chains, entangling them together and aiding Hua Yu Creator in dragging the item out.

But in the end, the weight of this unknown item proved to be out of their capabilities.

“Creators, follow me!”

Zhong Yue shouted before he entered the Star Gates and warped towards the Azure Dragon Gate while behind him were light flashes as Fu Li, Mu Suge and the other Creators followed quickly, all grabbing onto the chains and pulling them.

Zhong Yue, however, did not act as he was still a Heavenly Deity, whose strength was still far behind these Creators.

Even more Creators arrived, and they all grabbed onto the chains, dragging them with force. Ripples started forming before turning into rogue waves, splashing everywhere and forming waves and waves of alluring star clouds.

The massive waves struck the city walls, trembling the walls and the scene was not for the faint-hearted; ever since Heaven Suppressing Grand Stronghold was built, it had never been breached and never trembled even once. But now, it was trembling under the powerful impact coming from the waves! Just what was that thing in the river!

“Heed my call, all Deity Emperors, step forth and help them!”

Zhong Yue shouted and the many Deity Emperors charged towards the chains and finally, with their combined strength, the thing in the river finally loosen up and was slowly dragged out from the river. As more chains emerged from the water, the waves turned even stronger and left a considerable amount of damage on the city walls.

Outside of Azure Dragon Gate were even more starry clouds that ascended into the air, enlarged and turned into bright stars and suns.

As time passed, the many Creators and Deity Emperors slowly lost their resistance to the waves but they prevailed; the chains emerged from the water gradually and after a moment, the chains broke without a sign and a gigantic object jumped out from the river, crushing the Azure Dragon Gate!

Everyone halted their movements and looked towards the Azure Dragon Gate only to see water flowing down from the massive object and turning into suns that flew into the air as soon as they touched the ground.

After quite some time, once everything had settled down, the massive object revealed itself, albeit only half.

It was an ancient and dilapidated warship that remained submerged in the water for countless years. Chains locked onto the bow and most of it was rusted. There was even a large hole on its body.

And this damaged ship was the item dragged out after combining the power of 60 Creators and a few hundred Deity Emperors.

“Dragon bones, dragon bones!”

Suddenly, a Creator shouted in surprise as he pointed towards the hole in the ship, where a part of the warship’s keel was revealed.

In order to build a massive warship, dragon bone’s were needed as it was bridge that supported the entire ship, connecting the ship’s front and back together. Without them, most of the ship would be easily crushed by the bigger tides.

The ‘dragon bone’s were the keels, usually made of divine woods and placed in a way exactly like the dragon’s ribs.

This time, as Zhong Yue raided the sacred grounds around him, he got his hands onto an endless number of warships. Among these ships, the ‘dragon bones’ were in fact, made of real dragon bones!

The ‘dragon bone’ of this ancient massive warship was also made of real dragon bones, from the True Dragons themselves!

Through the hole, they could see a massive ‘dragon bone’ that supported the entire warship!

Apart from that, they could even sense innate Qi flowing out from the hole!

“An innate god’s dragon bones? Could this be the bones of an innate Leizhe god?” shouted a Creator with a trembling voice.

Zhong Yue frowned; the Leizhe Ancient God was the first dragon god ever born into this world but he was still alive, hence, the bones here were definitely not his. Besides, with the Leizhe Ancient God being the ancestor of both human and Fuxi Celestial Race, what came out from this Zheng Creator’s mouth was especially grating on Zhong Yue’s ears.

“Prehistoric divine item!”

The old god rushed towards the scene and said trembling, “This is definitely something that can be traced all the way back to the prehistoric dark era!”

The prehistoric era this old god spoke was a lost era long before the Fire Order Era. Real civilization only began when Great Sui created the Fire Order Era. He unified the universe. He spread civilization to every corner within the universe, creating a calendar called Great Mountain Fu Wood Solar Calendar and a common language. All of these were all built on the Fusang Tree within the ancient universe’s Jin Wu Clan.

Before the Fire Order Era, the universe was mired in a dark age that lacked any semblance of society. This resulted in an era whose history was not recorded — the prehistoric era.

And this ship was probably something from the prehistoric era.

“It’s a monarch ship!”

Fu Qizhi murmured, “It definitely is…”

“Monarch ship?”

A thought appeared in Zhong Yue’s mind, Something left behind by that existence that developed this place and the Heaven Suppressing Palace?

“No, it’s not!”

Mu Suge shook and rebutted, “It does not have the monarch aura in it. A real monarch level item has the monarch aura that can be easily detected.”

“Third Prince Mu, if this isn’t a monarch ship, why do we need so many people to drag it out from the river still?” asked a puzzled Fu Li.

Mu Suge on the other hand, was also confused and he replied, “This I have no idea of at all. Monarch level items all possessed a mighty aura that suppressesed even the Heavens. Monarchs are beings that rule the entire universe. Their weapons also have their very own domineering aura! In certain cases, monarch level items would even give birth to their very own spirit and once strong enough, these weapons would give off a feeling sentience. This ship here, however, may be strong but it’s not at that level.”

Zhong Yue nodded silently upon hearing this. What Mu Suge said was very reasonable; Zhong Yue had seen monarch level items with his own eyes, such as Shao Hao Bell, the Fumin Sword, and the Hao Yi Zither. All of these items possessed a uniquely powerful aura. The Shao Hao Bell even gave birth to its own spirit that came in the form of a chubby boy and Hao Yi Zither’s spirit was a little girl with braids.

Unlike the Shao Hao Bell and Hao Yi Zither, the Fu Min Sword was shattered, preventing it from taking that final stage of evolution. In addition to the Fuxi Celestial Race’s annihilation, leaving no one to worship it, it became impossible for the Fumin Sword to give birth to its own spirit.

If this ship was a monarch level ship, then there would be monarch level presence or spirit in it, however, from the looks of it, it possessed neither of these.

However, to require so many Creators and Deity Emperors to work together just to drag it out from the water, it made no sense if this ship was not monarch level.

“Brat Yue, there is no such thing as monarch in the prehistoric era.”

Then came Xin Huo’s voice suddenly, “The monarch level is set up after Great Sui created civilization, it was a level set after the non-innate beings started cultivating. The prehistoric era, in other words, was the era of innate gods. I once heard Great Sui said that their levels were completely foreign to the non-innate bings.”

Zhong Yue’s heart moved and he murmured, “You mean…”

“That existence that created this ship is not a Heavenly Monarch but he possessed the power of one.”

Xin Huo continued, “The totem patterns carved onto this ship may contain some secrets tracing all the way back to the prehistoric era!”

Hearing this, Zhong Yue immediately shouted, “This is an Imperial Emperor level divine warship, good enough to be my vessel! Men, move this ship to my palace!”

“Smart!”

Xin Huo praised, “If you announced it as monarch level item, you will attract unwanted attention. Even Imperial Emperor Xian Tian will ask for the ship.”

With all their strength, the Creators and Overlords dragged the ship into the gates and they were completely worn before they reached halfway to the palace.

Seeing this, Zhong Yue had no other emotions apart from shock, What kind of ship is this? And that innate dragon bone, could it be related to Lei Zhe Ancient God?
