Chapter 516

– A New Road Would Appear, Fortune Never Comes In Pairs
Zhong Yue’s scalps tingled; the venomous fang locked him down. Before it even got close to him, Zhong Yue could already feel it stabbing into his brain and mind!
Yu Wenju’s prowess was incredibly strong, as shown when this monster god successfully escaped from the encirclement of the many insect gods. Other than the fact that snakes were naturally adept at moving underground, his above-average prowess among the gods was also a big factor to his survival.
The venomous fang Yu Juwen shot toward Zhong Yue was forged from his own fang. It contained deadly poisons that were refined thousands of times. It must be noted that his venom was even stronger than that of those poisonous insect gods!
With Yu Juwen using this fang against Zhong Yue, it was clear how immense his desire to kill Zhong Yue was!
A monster god cast out his own divine weapon, and a Qi Practitioner that wielded a divine weapon, there was a huge difference in strength between the two.
Zhong Yue not only once encounter magnates with divine weapons. When he was in his peak state, he alone could defend against such strikes, and if a divine weapon were in his hands, he could even fight back.
But when it was a god wielding the divine weapon, even Zhong Yue in his peak state with the Divine Wing Saber wouldn’t stand a chance!
Yu Juwen’s venomous fang went all out; although the fang had yet to reach Zhong Yue, he felt as if it had already sank into his body.
This was something that not even the strongest magnate could do. This was only achievable when the divine weapon’s power was fully unleashed, it was an attack directed toward on the opponent’s psyche and spirit.
It was just an inch away from Zhong Yue’s forehead, the venomous fang was just a fine line away from thrusting into Zhong Yue’s skull; but it was stopped. An elegant jade-like hand blocked the fang.
The hand appeared plain, as if it belonged to a mortal. It didn’t have any divine aura hovering around it, nor was it using any form of skill or art.
But the venomous fang couldn’t harm it in the slightest. Instead, the fang was repelled like a ball against a metal wall.
Yu Wenju was shocked, he quickly cast out his other venomous fang and the two fangs floated around him as he took a defensive stance.
Moonlight shone from the sky, and a bright moon suddenly appeared on this dark side of the insect planet.
Then, a lady appeared beside Zhong Yue, donned in armor forged from the moon core and was shrouded in moonlight — she looked just like a goddess of moon.

Mother god?
Yu Wenju was shocked.
That Fuxi lady! Zhong Yue was also shocked.
Yu Wenju heaved a breath of relief, he cast the two venomous fangs out and struck over at the moon core armored lady while laughing as he said,
You mother gods are nothing! Among the insect gods, the mother gods are only mediocre! Die!

Shua, shua
The moon core armored lady casually raised her hand up and grabbed onto the venomous fang, she stabbed it down right into Wenju’s head.
Yu Wenju was stunned, his eyes were filled with disbelief, but he wasn’t dead yet. After all, he was a god; his vitality was strong. If this were to happen to some other Qi Practitioner, including Zhong Yue, no one would survive it.
Yet, Yu Wenju was still alive, he opened his mouth and a serpent spear was shot out toward the lady’s chest!
This serpent spear was his third divine weapon; it was refined from his tongue. The serpent spear had two sharp points at its tip. This was a divine weapon even stronger than the two venomous fangs!
The serpent spear could be hard like divine gold or soft like cloth.
But Yu Wenju was shocked again, the moon core armored lady held onto his serpent spear as if it were nothing and thrust it right through his head. The spear tip exited out the other side and the poisoned blood flowed out from the open wound.

You….

The moon core armored lady waved her hand and grabbed the other venomous fang, once again stabbing it into his head.
Yu Wenju’s body swayed and fell to the ground.
Zhong Yue was completely confounded. It all seemed like a dream to him — a final hallucination at the moment of his death. A monster god, one who stood at the peak of a world, yet was effortlessly killed just like that?
But upon thinking more about it, it wasn’t too much of a surprise either. When they first reached in the insect planet, Xin Huo once said that only a Deity Overlord god could break Lord Bai’s seals away.
And since there weren’t any Deity Overlord gods among the insect race, then the only one who could have done that could only be this armored Fuxi lady.
Although Yu Wenju was powerful among the gods in the Ancestral Star, he wasn’t a Deity Overlord. Thus, it was only natural for him to die by her hands.
The armored lady lowered her head and stared at Zhong Yue. A divine eye opened on her forehead and its rays scanned Zhong Yue from head to toe.
Immediately, Zhong Yue felt his body, Yuan Shen, psyche, and blood essence shuddering violently. HIs fractured bones were reformed by the godly rays, and his broken veins were rejoined together. The missing flesh grew back in place, and the fragmented totem patterns came back together. His Yuan Shen was infused with immense life force.
His psyche regained its peace and power, his cracked inner core was restored to his usual state, and his blood essence was recovered.
Even his six Yuan Shen secret realms were repaired from their sorry states.
In just seconds, his condition went from near-death to bursting with vitality. He was probably even stronger now than before after the baptism from the divine rays!
Zhong Yue stood up and stared back at the goddess.
Si Ming… that’s what the insects called her.
Si Ming also looked at him, the faint light of curiosity was clear in her eyes as she scrutinized him.

I thought the Fuxi had gone extinct from the Ancestral Star. Who knew I would meet one today, what a shame that the Fuxi blood in you is still faint.

Her voice was graceful like a hymn from heaven as she said,
I’ve been watching you, you are good.


Why?

Zhong Yue asked abruptly,
Why do you bring the insects to the Ancestral Star? Don’t you know what the Ancestral Star is?

His voice was strong and solemn,
This is the origin of the Fuxi Celestial Race, this is where we all came from. This the home and the root of all Fuxi!

Si Ming only continued looking at him. Her eyes were warm as she said,
For all these years, I traveled with the insect planet around the universe, and you are the first Fuxi I came across.


Why do you want to destroy our home?
Zhong Yue questioned.

I suppose, we are the only two Fuxi left in this universe.
Si Ming said in deep sorrow,
I always felt lonely, for every time I think that I am the only Fuxi left in the universe, I feel fear. Thankfully, there is still you.

Zhong Yue raised his voice,
What’s in it for you? To lead the insect race and destroy the Ancestral Star!?

The two of them were having their own conversations, neither one of them responding to the other’s words.
Moments later, Zhong Yue calmed himself down and stood quietly, he waited for her to finish her words.
Soon, Si Ming stopped speaking. She looked deeply at him and said,
So please, do not stand in my way. My only people.


Is this your path? To destroy our roots? To destroy the Ancestral Star?
Zhong Yue was relentless.
Si Ming nodded, she was placid as usual,
Yes, it is. Only when the Ancestral Star is destroyed am I able to find the tombs of the Fuxi Heavenly Monarchs. This is the only way I can find the Heavenly Monarchs’ divine weapons. The Fuxi had been in decline for over 100,000 years. Our enemies are far too many and strong. I cannot do this alone. I myself am unable to make the Fuxi rise again.

Zhong Yue answered frigidly,
We are not the last of the Fuxi Celestial Race, the humans are all Fuxi as well! The Ancestral Star’s human race, millions of us are there. Are you going to kill your own people?


The humans are not Fuxi,
Si Ming shook her head, she said,
Humans are humans, and we Fuxi are not humans. We are two different races.


The humans are the sealed Fuxi!
Zhong Yue shouted,
You are a Fuxi yourself, you must’ve looked into the blood of the humans, you know very well yourself the sealed Fuxi blood in the human bodies! So long as the seals are broken, every single human out there is a Fuxi! That was how I became a Fuxi!


The humans are not Fuxi,
Si Ming shook her head still, she said softly,
You break the seal, you are a Fuxi; they didn’t, so they aren’t. For the rise of the Fuxi Celestial Race, humanity’s extinction is only collateral.

Zhong Yue let out an forced laugh,
Without the humans, do you think you can do it all alone?

Si Ming answered seriously,
That’s why I need to borrow the powers of the Fuxi Heavenly Monarchs. I brought the insects here to destroy the Ancestral Star, to force the Fuxi Heavenly Monarchs’ tombs to reemerge. With this blood sacrific to our ancestors’ spirits, we can awaken them and fight against the evil. You are also a Fuxi, you should understand why am I doing this and stand alongside with me.

Zhong Yue’s heart shuddered, and his blood chilled from her words.
Destroying the Ancestral Star was meant to force the imperial tombs to emerge and the living beings on the Ancestral Star would be sacrificed to awaken the Fuxi ancestors’ spirits. This Fuxi lady’s thoughts and methods were diametrically opposed to his own.
Although their endgames were the revival of the Fuxi Celestial Race, such means were utterly unacceptable!

Do you understand why am I doing this?
Si Ming’s pure eyes inspected him closely as she said softly.
Zhong Yue shook his head.

It’s alright even if you don’t,
Si Ming said softly,
The humans are not Fuxi. Sacrificing them is for the greater good of our race. So, do not stand in my way.

Zhong Yue shook his head, he replied,
You are a Fuxi, and so am I. But the Ancestral Star is my home, not yours. If you still value me as one of your people, then lead the insect planet away from the Ancestral Star. For I, Zhong Yue of the Fuxi Celestial Race, stand with the Ancestral Star!

Si Ming pondered but shook her head moments later and said,
No. The Ancestral Star relates to the future of the Fuxi Celestial Race, I cannot leave just like this. My only clansman, you are in my way. Do not blame me, I will not kill you but I will seal you away and keep you safe with me. As soon as I finished our final goal, I will let you out myself. By then, you will be able to understand why I am doing this.

She raised her hand and extended a finger toward Zhong Yue’s forehead. But right when she finished her words, Zhong Yue visualized the Shao Hao Bell.
Ding
A loud sound of the bell toll echoed across the night sky, and the faint figure of bell fell from the sky. Soon, a translucent bell had enclosed him inside of it.

Young man of the Fuxi Clan, are you the one calling me?
Shao Hao Bell’s voice sounded out in Zhong Yue’s mind, it was excited as it said,
Young man, call me out more often and talk to me sometimes. The imperial tomb is so damn boring that I am rotting already. Is that little mischievous flame around … Wait, is that a Fuxi little girl! Who is she? Your wife? She’s quite pretty.
