Chapter 495

– Ever Since The Ancient Days
Bi Xie Celestial Emperor’s face turned dark and gloomy,
Little child, you dare to talk to me like that? Aren’t you afraid of me killing you right now?


First, you had to be able to do that before you want to kill me,
Zhong Yue answered frigidly,
I’m here to prove that your revival will do you nothing! You are nothing compared to Bi Xie! I can’t defeat and kill Bi Xie but I can kill you. It’s the biggest mistake I had ever seen for Bi Xie to sacrifice himself for you!


Brat! Do you not know the immensity of heaven and earth?!
Bi Xie Celestial Emperor’s face turned ice cold. Abruptly, he burst out in laughter and flew into the clouds. His voice rumbled like thunder as he said,
You are too young, too naive, that’s why the Human Sovereign didn’t chose you as his inheritor!

The voices reverberated through the sky. Although he didn’t do anything to Zhong Yue, the anger in his voice couldn’t be hidden. Clearly, Zhong Yue’s words had infuriated him.

Undying creep!
Zhong Yue shouted out loud,
Wasting resources for nothing just because you are more superior!

In mid-air, Bi Xie Celestial Emperor’s body halted for a split second and he instantly left. His fists were clenched tightly, and it seemed like he was at the verge of bursting out in anger. If the conversation with Zhong Yue was to continue going on, he wouldn’t had been able to suppress his killing intent, and that would exposed his current weak state.
He still didn’t dare to do anything, afraid that his former subjects would notice the truth.
After all, he valued his own life more than killing Zhong Yue.

He is just a childish punk, how would he know how high the six saint spirits would push my achievements to in this life?
Bi Xie Celestial Emperor mumbled softly,
He is just a little bug that happened to cross my path. My true enemy is the Human Sovereign. When, in the near future, I had ascended to the peak of my life, Human Sovereign, you will know the consequences of what you had done to me!

A few days later, he has returned to the West Barren and reached an unknown valley in the middle of nowhere. He swung his hand and the hidden seals around the valley were cast off, the earth started to quake and pillars emerged from the ground. Tens of thousands of stone pillars formed an ancient teleportation portal.
Bi Xie Celestial Emperor stepped into the teleportation array and disappeared.
Immediately after, the array started to crumble, and the pillars collapsed to the ground. The whole teleportation portal had been destroyed.

Huh? That is…
Bi Xie Celestial Emperor was teleported out from the Ancestral Star, he suddenly saw a concealed tunnel that linked an unknown part of the universe to the Ancestral Star.
The tunnel was frozen by ice and inside of the tunnel was the aura of gods.

It’s Earth Lord’s skill…
Bi Xie Celestial Emperor was puzzled, he whispered to himself,
Who made this tunnel? And why did Earth Lord seal the tunnel away? It seems like Earth Lord’s seal is breaking apart, it won’t last long.

Before he could think too much about it, the teleportation light beam sent him far away into the endless universe.
Meanwhile, Zhong Yue had also left the South Barren, heading back for Swords Gate in the Great Wilderness.
As the Lesser Void World had returned, the Ancestral Star was a few times wider than before. It was way different to before now, and it even had a slight saintly air to it.
If all of the stolen dimensions are to be released back in the Ancestral Star, what would our planet look like? Zhong Yue was glancing around as he was on his way back.
Along the way, he saw many places with filled with great spiritual energies. Each and every one of the locations could nurture a great faction like Swords Gate!
What’s more important was that these places were all unclaimed!
The return of the Lesser Void World resulted in the appearance of countless strategic locations!

The South Barren Zhong Li Celestial Race will wane a lot from now. Lord Xia is dead and the Fiery Capital torn to the ground, the Zhong Li Celestial Race can’t conquer and rule such a huge piece of land.
Rays flashed across Zhong Yue’s eyes as he softly mumbled,
I wonder if Senior Martial Sister Jun could had seized this chance and expand the territory?

Soon after, Zhong Yue reached the border of the South Barren and Great Wilderness. Abruptly, he was shocked and his heart skipped a beat. At the border, there were a few ten thousand feet tall giants uprooting the mountains and carrying them toward the South Barren.
Whereas the Zhong Li South Barren border guards were shouting in anger. A Martial Master stood in mid-air and said angrily,
Humans, how dare you!? The lands on this side of the mountains belonged to the Zhong Li Celestial Race, are you asking for war!?

Zhong Yue looked over carefully and noticed that the giants were in fact, the higher-ups of Swords Gate. The elders, Qiu Jin’er, Fang Jiange and the others were moving the mountains toward the South Barren.
Shui Zian was also among the crowd. The grand elder could be seen smirking as he answered,
Little friend, you are right. The land on the other side of the mountains belonged to the Zhong Li Celestial Race, we won’t be invading your territory.

The Martial Master gritted his teeth hard and questioned,
Shui Zian, I know you are a man of your word, but could you explain what you are all doing now?


Moving the mountains!
Shui Zian spoke as if the Martial Master was a blind man who didn’t know how to look at an obvious fact.
Shui Zian said in a righteous tone,
We aren’t crossing the borders, we didn’t go to your side of the mountains, it’s the mountains that are moving! Look, look for yourself, the mountains are moving!

The Zhong Li border guards became incensed as their voices could be heard spewing countless curses.

Kill these northern little bugs!
, the guards were all shouting and asked for the permission.
The border commander was a Zhu Rong magnate. He heard the request to fight back but shook his head in decline, he said,
These humans knew we wouldn’t be able to do anything to them. They knew our South Barren is now over a hundred times wider, that the Heavenly Lord Palace couldn’t had commanded all of the land. Furthermore, we South Barren don’t had enough manpower to conquer it all. Thus, the humans had swarmed out to invade our lands instead. There’s nothing we can do, Swords Gate is strong enough to wipe us all out at the border. Now, we can only wait for the clan masters’ orders…

They were just the Zhong Li Celestial Race’s South Barren border guards, while Swords Gate swarmed out nearly all of the higher-ups. Surely, they wouldn’t be able to fight against the humans.
Zhong Yue watched as everything was happening before him, he started laughing in spite of himself and thought in his heart, This is definitely not Elder Shui’s idea, nor would it be Fang Jiange’s. It can only be Senior Martial Sister Jun, only she would use such … provoking methods.
He landed beside the human experts and carried a mountain on his shoulder as well. The higher-ups of Swords Gate were marching toward the South Barren, every step they took forward would be another piece of land added to the human’s territory.
Soon, dusk arrived and the sun had fallen below the horizon. Over a hundred mountains were moved for a few thousand miles out from the border. The elders were all exhausted and they stopped to rest.
At midnight, the South Barren Zhong Li experts swarmed out and moved the mountains back for a few hundred miles until the first gleam of dawn cracked through the dark sky.
In the morning, Swords Gate elders would come out in high spirits and energetically moved the mountains for another few thousand miles toward the south.
At night, the Zhong Li experts moved the mountains back to the north. The cycle had been repeating itself for tens of days and Swords Gate had already taken up a total of 30,000 miles of land from the South Barren.
The Zhong Li experts were also moving the mountains back in the middle of the night, doing their best to reduce the losses.
Then, Clan Master Xia’s order arrived — the border guards were to stand down and stop the competition with the humans.
The many South Barren border guards were all angered at the command, but the order had to be executed. Thus, left without a choice, the Zhong Li experts left the humans to their own devices.

Why did they leave?
Elder Lei Shan asked curiously,
It’s fun playing with them, why don’t they stay and entertain us for a few more days?


The west and east line, the Zhong Li Celestial Race must had been greatly pressured at those two points,
Shui Zian mulled and said,
Even if we continued doing this, there is a limit to what we can swallow at the end. But the West Barren has thousands and thousands of celestial races, each wanting to take up a little more space. And with so many celestial races there, the West Barren is more than capable to eat up a way bigger piece of land than us humans! Especially the Kun Peng Celestial Race, they had just returned from the Wood Celestial Star, there is an urgent need for them to claim a piece of land for their own territory, which would undoubtedly come from the Zhong Li Celestial Race’s South Barren.

Zhong Yue nodded and continued while smiling,
To the east, there are the dragon and monster races. Although the monster race seem to be better than the dragon race, Shi Buyi still wouldn’t had let such a great opportunity slip from his fingers. Meanwhile, the dragon race has longed to come out from the water, they yearned for thousands of years for their own piece of solid ground, surely, they would rise high at this fleeting opportunity. And the North Barren Bai Zhe Clan would had to go through the East Barren if they want to expand and the demon race … they are too far away from here. These two factions wouldn’t be able to participate in the feast…

The South Barren has become way too vast, it was now more than half of the Ancestral Star and if they don’t claim the unconquered land for their own now, how much longer would they had to wait until the next time they can expand their territories?
When the other races settled down with their fruits of victory, Swords Gate wouldn’t be able to take a piece of the huge cake anymore.

Stride further!
Shui Zian swung his sleeves and urged the higher-ups, he said,
Ever since the ancient days, the lands on the north of the South Barren belonged to the humans. The faster and the further we bring the mountains, the bigger our Great Wilderness would be!

The crowd bestirred themselves and carried the mountains further into the South Barren.
Other than the Great Wilderness, the West Barren was also expanding. There were uncountable celestial tribes, races and clans in the West Barren and with most of them swarming out to claim their own lands, the West Barren was expanding at a crazy rate every single second.
Especially the Kun Peng Celestial Race, they had taken up and expanded their territories on the land while centering an almost landlocked sea as their future sacred place. They had even named their territory as the Mediterranean.
But what was out of Zhong Yue’s expectation was that even the Bai Zhe Clan has participated in the feast. The Bai Zhe experts had first claimed a piece of land in the middle of nowhere and placed down a stone tablet, saying that ever since the ancient days, this was already the Bai Zhe Clan’s territory.
Whereas the Xiao Mang Celestial Race has also took a piece of unclaimed land. The Xiao Mang experts had turned into the three-headed Pan Ao form, moving around to mark the land with their pees.
The five dragon clans had also came out from the waters and claimed their respective lands. However, they had clashed with the East Barren three island lords’ army and a blood-curdling war was started between the two races.
What was even more shocking to Zhong Yue was that the demon race was also here!
The demon race has sailed across the sea and docked at a piece of land close to the sea in the South Barren. They drew a border and claimed it as their own.
The eight saint demon clans had raised a stone tablet in their respective territories, engraving the words of ‘Ever since the ancient days…

I had really underestimated the shamelessness of these races…, Zhong Yue thought in his heart.
The South Barren Zhong Li Celestial Race knew that they couldn’t had secured such a huge piece of land. Thus, they had shrunk their forces and avoided clashing with the other races as much as possible.
However, the Zhong Li Celestial Race has still valued their original piece of land greatly with many experts stationed around those places. Despite the other races were swarming into the South Barren, they had still stood firmly in those places, even if that means they would had to wage a war with the other races.
Furthermore, the Zhong Li Celestial Race was also expanding their territory. They had sent the experts out to enlarge their own piece of land bigger than before.
For half a year’s time, the races had been fighting for the lands and more were still planning to invade further to the south.
On one warm and bright morning, a wave of godly aura suddenly burst out from the South Barren and a god of the Xia Clan emerged high and tall from the center of the Zhong Li Celestial Race. He raised his golden hand and with a finger, drew a line over a million miles long across the land.

This will from now onward, be the border of South Barren!
The god disappeared and his voice could be heard reverberating throughout the whole Ancestral Star.
