King Zi Guang bowed as he received his order, then, he brought Xi Zhiyan’s corpse to the Heaven Court.
Meanwhile, on the side, Zhong Yue furtively frowned. Although ambitious, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian was also shrewd. His decision was right on point, the best in fact. One, he was able to delay the outbreak of the war; secondly, he was able to maintain his reputation as well as earning himself the hearts of his allies.
As expected, when his decision was announced, his allies remained loyal to him; all while delaying the battle with the Heavenly Monarch for another few years, gaining him the precious time to prepare for war.
Imperial Emperor Xian Tian is no fool. I must be more cautious in the future so he won’t suspect anything.

However, Xi Zhiyan’s death was something out of Zhong Yue’s expectation and he sighed for the death of such a good man.


Xi Zhiyan was a loyal disciple and an upright man. He didn’t hesitate at all to die for his teacher’s quest and was willing to start over again even though he was already an outstanding Creator himself. A man like him deserved more than this, but Imperial Emperor Xian Tian too, didn’t fail him. He was reincarnated into the Xian Tian Palace’s Heavens and starting over again meant that he would be able to achieve greater power in his next life!
Imperial Emperor Xian Tian said,
My friends, be patient. I can now see the level of Imperial Monarch waving at me, it will not be long before I ascend to that level. By then, I will avenge the death of my two disciples.

The other Imperial Emperors and race leaders agreed, then left on their own in flashes of bright light.

Senior Martial Brother Yi, please wait for a moment.

Just when Zhong Yue was leaving for the Human Sovereign Palace, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian smiled and called him,
Senior martial brother, I have something to discuss with you.

Zhong Yue stopped while Imperial Emperor Xian Tian stood up from his throne. He said while smiling,
Senior Martial Brother Yi said that the innate gods are strong and powerful from birth but in spite of that, cultivation is harder for us than anyone else. I wholeheartedly agree to it. The universe has always thought we were blessed by nature, we stand strong and powerful and we enjoy limitless lifespan. But how would they ever understand our pain? Because of us being the innate gods, we are strong, but also flawed.

Zhong Yue nodded.
Although a prenate living being, Zhong Yue could see the hardships and struggles in the innate gods. Truth was, he had noticed the flaws in the innate gods a long time ago. The innate gods were the sentience that was born from the worships of the prenate living beings. But with that said, the innate gods were greatly reliant on worship.
Every worshiper had their own different will and wishes, this made the worships cluttered with far too many convoluting thoughts in them. Thus, it made the innate gods harder to cultivate with the power of worships flowing into them along with myriad thoughts of its worshippers. Moreover, in terms of cultivating the frame of mind, heart, and will, they might just be worse than the prenate living beings.
Not only that, but the power of worship would restrict their growth as well. Such as Li Yang who was born from the sun. As the Innate Sun God, he was only able to cultivate Yang-related cultivation paths. It was impossible for him to cultivate any other cultivation arts and techniques other than the Yang-related ones.


Although his cultivation progress would be immense in the Yang-related cultivation paths, it has, however, a cap on his future growth nonetheless.
In the whole universe, he wasn’t the only innate god facing this problem. Every single innate god who was born from nature and the power of worship faced the same issue; even Goddess Hou Tu and Ancient Lei Zhe God were no exception. Which was why they had decided to shed off their past life innate bodies and ascend into The Impossible World.
Whereas all those problems were not applicable to the prennate living beings; which was why there were always strong and powerful presences that emerged from the prenate living beings.
Imperial Emperor Xian Tian walked to his side, he smiled and said,
Senior martial brother, in a way, you’ve also shed off your past life’s innate body. This might not totally be a bad thing after all. Although timebound now, the possibility of your future is vast and limitless. A greater achievement than your past life is now within grasp!


Senior Martial Brother Xian Tian is right.
Zhong Yue nodded.
Then all of a sudden, rays flashed across Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s eyes and he said abruptly,
I know you are the one who helped Yan Sovereign to save the humans, you taught him how to provoke the relationship between Heavenly Monarch and Xian Tian Palace. You can’t hide it from me!

Zhong Yue’s face changed, he asked,
If senior martial brother you know it’s me, why are you not angry?


Why should I?
Imperial Emperor Xian Tian laughed,
I’ve longed for the throne and you have done exactly what I wanted. In fact, even without you provoking our relationship, he and I, the two of us are still at odds, we are just putting all this fake peace for the bigger picture. Furthermore, I needed a chance to see how many in the Zi Wei Galaxy will stand on his side and how many more on mine.

He smiled,
And this, Xi Zhiyan’s death, was the chance I was waiting for. My beloved disciple has killed himself for killing the Heavenly Monarch’s son. When this news spreads into the ears of all in the Zi Wei Galaxy, the gods will pick their side. By then, I will know who are my allies and who are the enemies. This knowledge will be something that I will need in the future.

Zhong Yue was shocked, he praised,
Senior Martial Brother Xian Tian, your wisdom is beyond my reach.



Imperial Emperor Xian Tian waved his hand,
You don’t have to praise me. It is impressive itself you are able to do all of this behind the scenes. But to be frank, the Heavenly Monarch is not a big issue, what I worry most instead, are the humans. Senior Martial Brother Yi, you know what I mean exactly, don’t you?

Zhong Yue nodded, he mumbled softly,
The Fuxi…

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s face changed, he raised his hand and stopped Zhong Yue from continuing. He said with a solemn face,
The Heavenly Monarch is a stepping stone in my conquest, I will surpass him eventually! But the humans, although harmless now, are the biggest threat the universe has ever seen! They must be controlled no matter what. Any failure in this regard will be more fatal than any mistake we can ever make!

Zhong Yue nodded, he too replied in a serious tone,
Senior Martial Brother Xian Tian, rest assured, when I return to the Creator level, I will kill Yan Sovereign and take over his throne. Then, the humans will be fully within your grasp. By then, they will no longer pose any threat in your empire!

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian laughed happily,
If it weren’t for you being a reincarnated innate god, I would be starting to think that you would have an ulterior motive. Your words, I like them! Senior Martial Brother Yi, as long as you don’t turn your back against me, I will make you one who stands only a level below me but above all others!

Zhong Yue bowed in gratitude.
The more Imperial Emperor Xian Tian looked at him, the more he liked Zhong Yue, he said,
Too bad your cultivation level has not fully recovered to your previous life’s level. I cannot grant you any governing positions yet… Fine, fine, didn’t that old brat Yan Sovereign form an army, the Xian Tian Royal Guards? I now officially bestow you as the commander of the Xian Tian Royal Guards, you will be in charge of them and help me train the human gods. I have a mission for them in the near future!


Thank you, Your Majesty!
Zhong Yue bowed and thanked happily. Then, he asked curiously,
Your Majesty, the human gods are the weakest, how will they ever be of any good use for Your Majesty’s quest?

When Imperial Emperor Xian Tian heard Zhong Yue calling ‘Majesty’, he was incredibly flattered by it and enjoyed it a lot. Godly rays brimmed in his eyes and he said,
What if I can unseal part of the Fuxi blood?

Zhong Yue’s body shuddered and he exclaimed out of shock,
Your Majesty, with all due respect, this is a dangerous game you are thinking of playing! Unsealing the human race will bring forth far too much danger. The one who sealed the humans is a tremendously terrifying presence; if you’ve touched his seals in a large scale…




He is my teacher.
Imperial Emperor Xian Tian smiled,
Rest assured. For me to fight for the throne, I will surely have my enough power with me. Unsealing 50% of the Fuxi bloodline in the humans will be no troubles at all. I will see my teacher and ask for his approval. The Fuxi are known as the Gods of War, their combat power is unlike any others. With an army like that serving under me, how can the universe not within my grasp?

Zhong Yue frowned, he said,
Your Majesty, the Fuxi Clan still has some hidden schemes up in their sleeves. Any mistake will bring serious consequences…

When Imperial Emperor Xian Tian heard Zhong Yue calling ‘Majesty’ again, he grew even more flattered and said placidly,
This is also a good chance to lure out the Fuxi rebels. Do it your way, I want full control over the Xian Tian Royal Guards. One, they will be the ones who pave the foundation of my coronation; two, they will be the baits that lure out the remaining specks of dirt of the Earth Order Era Fuxi!

He stared at Zhong Yue and said solemnly,
Senior Martial Brother Yi, do you have the confidence to snatch the throne of Human Sovereign form Yan Sovereign? Do you have the confidence to control the humans, the Fuxi?

Zhong Yue laughed loudly and said,
Yan Sovereign is just a little child, it’d be his demise to fall into my hands! In terms of intelligence, he is no match for me! In terms of talent, he was never good at all! A few more years will be all I need to surpass him. Your Majesty, please wait as I deliver a piece of good news in no time!

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian watched as Zhong Yue left, he praised,
Good!

On the other hand, when Zhong Yue returned to the Human Sovereign Palace, he heaved a long breath of relief and sweat burst out of his pores, soaking his clothes while he held a grim face.
Yan Sovereign found him and asked, Zhong Yue shook and replied,
Things are fine, but…

He remembered what Imperial Emperor Xian Tian had told him and his heart sank.
Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s teacher is that evil existence! I was just thinking of going undercover in the Xian Tian Palace and provoking the war between him and Heavenly Monarch quietly so that the humans can find a slim chance of survival in it. But now I find out that I’m also under the nose of that evil presence! If he ever finds out I am a Fuxi….


Zhong Yue shuddered with a cold sweat, but an odd sense of excitement flowed through his body.
He had always been searching for every possible hint on the evil presence, and now he finally got one!
However, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s plan of unsealing the Xian Tian Royal Guard was playing with fire. Whereas Zhong Yue’s undercover in the evil presence’s disciple’s forces was just like an act of hopping in front of death’s door. A wrong step and he would perish into nothingness!
In the Xian Tian Palace, King Zi Guang returned and said,
Imperial Emperor, when His Majesty saw Xi Zhiyan’s body, he sighed and said you have over-punished Xi Zhiyan and blamed Royal Prince Wen Chang for being over, that it was right that Xi Zhiyan had killed him. Then proceed with the formal talks…


This old fox, sly and cunning.
Imperial Emperor Xian Tian smiled, then he told his plan on the Xian Tian Royal Guard and asked,
Zi Guang, you are intelligent. So I ask, what do you think of this?

Whereas King Zi Guang’s face changed drastically, he exclaimed in shock,
Imperial Emperor, never do that!

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s face turned gloomy and King Zi Guang quickly explained,
The Fuxi Clan was sealed at great expense to Him. How many died in the process? If the Xian Tian Royal Guard goes sideways…


Zi Guang, you’re overthinking.
Imperial Emperor Xian Tian smiled,
The humans will not go sideways. Li Yang is here to help me, what can possibly go wrong?

King Zi Guang’s face changed again, he said,
How is Li Yang ever trustworthy? By his looks alone, I can tell he is not good news. Have the Xian Tian Royal Guard unsealed, but it must never in Li Yang’s hands, or troubles will arise!

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian was unhappy, he questioned,
So by that, you mean you should be the one controlling the Xian Tian Royal Guard?

King Zi Guang shuddered in cold, he dare not speak a word anymore.
Imperial Emperor Xian Tian gave a cold sneer, he swung his sleeves and said,
I’ll see my teacher and have him unseal 50% of the Fuxi bloodline seals for the Xian Tian Royal Guard.

King Zi Guang’s heart thumped anxiously, but he suddenly gritted his teeth and said,
If Imperial Emperor insists on unsealing the Xian Tian Royal Guard, that’ll be fine. But Imperial Emperor, when you see Him, please let him know of this Li Yang and check on this man. I have no good feelings about him and only He can clear his suspicions.

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian left and arrived in the evil existence’s hideout, he bowed and greeted his teacher, telling the latter about his plans.
Then, in hesitation, he voiced King Zi Guang’s worries and said,
Teacher, Zi Guang asked me to have you checked on this Li Yang.


Unsealing the Fuxi bloodline is no small issue, it is wise to be sure.
The evil presence said,
Bring him to me.
