Now that we are done researching, what should we do with this guy?
asked Feng Xiaozhong.
Fear stalked Feng Qingyu immediately and the man quickly shouted,
I surrender!


How can I possibly let you live after the cruelty you’ve committed against my people.

Zhong Yue raised his saber up high with a cold stare, swing it downwards, decimating Feng Qingyu’s life along with his Yuan Shen and soul.
After that, Zhong Yue kept quiet for a while as the punishment served was considerably too light compared to what Feng Qingyu created but Zhong Yue felt a little bit better after Feng Qingyu was tortured by Feng Xiaozhong’s research for almost two hundred years.



Junior martial brother, you are going to leave now?

Before Ling Yu Palace, Feng Xiaozhong was a little saddened and he said,
With our strength, the efficiency of our research is increased by several folds. If we can calculate and recreate the 17 monarch level arts, what else can we not achieve? Stay here and we will seek for the Daos together.

Feng Xiaozhong did not take Zhong Yue as a normal friend, but a fellow Daoist that he wanted eagerly so that he would not be lonely on the path towards seeking Daos.

Senior martial brother, you need a quiet place for your research and right now, this world is no longer at peace. The flames of war has spread through every corner of this universe. I will be fighting for a peaceful place for you outside.

Zhong Yue smiled,
No one is paying attention to you right now, but sooner or later, the enemies of the Fuxi Celestial Race will fix their sights onto you. Once they discover you, they will do everything they can to kill you. Because of this, you might even have to join forces with me against these enemies in search for a peaceful and quiet place for your research. You are, after all, someone that once walked the Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch.


Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch?

Feng Xiaozhong’s expression changed slightly and after a quick silence, he said,
If that’s the case, then I shall not hold you any longer. However, if you have the time, you have to walk the Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch another time because there should be …

He frowned and continued,
There should be something you need there.

Zhong Yue was stunned for a second and after a nod, he took off and returned only a few seconds later as he informed Feng Xiaozhong about something.

I once heard an innate god explaining of five ways to achieve immortality. There are little chances in the first four ways but the fifth way was different, which requires the postnate living beings to ascend as a Dao God and I think this information might be some help to you.



Zhong Yue then repeated what he learnt from the innate god,
Mister Bi Luo said that in order to become a Dao God, postnate living beings first have to shed away the Postnatal Mortal Body, the Dirt Body, Karmic Body, and Dao Body; which I find very reasonable.

Feng Xiaozhong was astounded by this information and after completely absorbing this information, he sighed,
This is indeed very helpful. Junior martial brother, you are walking around outside and at the same time, you have gained a lot of things out of my reach. Perhaps, I will have to get out from the Ling Yu Palace and take a look at this world alongside with you.

The two then bowed at each other and Zhong Yue bade farewell seconds later.
Feng Xiaozhong’s vision traced after Zhong Yue as the young man left and he later on examined the Quasi-Star Region as he thought, This world is so huge but my Ling Yu Palace might not be able to fit in…. This chaotic war will soon spread to this place and when that day comes, I will have to head out, see the world for myself and wash away the rustiness in me.
After leaving Ling Yu Palace, Zhong Yue released Hundun Yu from his Yuan Shen secret realms before the two slowly headed towards the Heaven Suppression Fortress. The Heaven Suppression Fortress was very far away and even after becoming a True Deity, Zhong Yue was also exhausted after traveling for a long time. After depleting his stamina and energy, he stopped for a rest and continued the journey a few days later.
A large scale war had swept through the entire universe and wherever he passed, he saw only the flames of war.
Every living being was a victim of this war, merely sacrifices to this universe; even the monarch level existences were all sacrifice as well.
The world was unjust and so was the Heavenly Monarch.
Throughout his journey, Zhong Yue saw lives struggling midst of fire and water, countless families shattered by the war and living beings burnt by the flames of war.
He also saw pitiness grew within his heart and that was his pity towards the tragic faced by these people from all races.


His mentality has reached the level of a monarch, granting him the capability to have full control over his mentality; every movements, thoughts were all crystal clear and they were all well organized.
If I stubbornly let this pitiness grow stronger, I would turn into another Fu Shang, becoming one that pitied the other races but not my own people and in the end, bringing destruction to my own people.

He calmly thought, This pitiness towards these races should be directed more onto my own race, use it as a warning to myself so that I won’t bring my own people to such fate as them and that is the true pitiness I need.

On his way to Heaven Suppression Fortress, as long as he ran into humans that were at the brink of destruction, he would save them and put them into his Yuan Shen secret realms and temporarily let them stay there.
In this chaotic world, countless humans were met with tragic fates, and all Zhong Yue could do was just try his best.
Hmmm?

Zhong Yue suddenly saw a few human race’s gods and they were sneaking into the the war zone between two celestial races to save the humans enslaved by one of the celestial race by sneaking them out using the war as a cover.
Outside the battlefield were a few warships and on these warships were already countless humans. After the few human gods led the human slaves onboard, the ships were entirely filled and a lady shouted,
We can’t fit anymore. It’s time to report back to master and return as soon as possible after settling them down. Who are you?

The few human gods were shocked as two young gods appeared on the ship’s bow without them knowing. The two young men were standing right beside them and while one of them looked extremely noble, wealthy and outstanding, the other one bore a simple and plain looking with a little tree branch resting on his hands.
Zhong Yue looked around and he smiled,
Calm yourselves, I too, am a human. I am just curious after seeing you guys saving our people when I passed by this place. If I may, which faction do you serve?



The few gods exchanged a glance and the lady replied,
We are the subordinates of the Human Sovereign. Knowing that peace would be distorted and the human race will be in deep trouble, he dispatched us to look for our people to try to bring them back to the Human Sovereign Palace to escape from the war. Oh, and you are?


I see.

Zhong Yue smiled,
I am Yi Feng from Xian Tian Palace, also a human and I have quite a friendly relationship with the Human Sovereign. The world right now is as chaotic as it is right now and nowhere is safe. Since I am heading back, I suppose I can contribute to the great mission you are carrying out right now by escorting you back to the Human Sovereign Palace.


King Yi!

The expressions of the few gods changed immediately and one of the younger one exclaimed,
Xian Tian Palace’s Mister Yi? This is bad!


Silence!

The lady angrily stared at the young god before she immediately smiled at Zhong Yue,
Let’s not trouble you, Mister Yi. Our leader is just not far away. He is a Deity Overlord and is on the verge of becoming a Deity Emperor, with him around …


Even that he can not guarantee your safety.

Zhong Yue interrupted,
I am a True Deity now and ordinary Deity Emperors are no match to me.

The few gods glanced at each other with a blank expression and seeing no possibility to turn Zhong Yue away, they had no choice but to proceed with their plan and sailed deep into the universe.


Not long later, in the dark galaxy ahead of them, Zhong Yue saw a fleet consisted of a few hundred warships floated there quietly and there were even more humans onboard.
Apart from the refugees, there were also human gods donned in armours and they were like an army with the strictest discipline.
Far away, there were also a few warships that were sailing back to the fleet, each carrying refugees that the human gods extracted from the war zones.
Zhong Yue looked around and he failed to identify any identical brandings and flags, preventing him from identify which faction did these soldiers served.

Qing Qing, you’re back!

A true Deity flew and landed onto the warship as he shouted,
The ships are all fully loaded and we can’t fit anyone anymore. Master said that…. Both of you, you are?

He looked towards Zhong Yue and asked.
The lady called
Qing Qing
immediately introduced,
This is Mister Yi, King Yi of the Xian Tian Palace and this is Senior Martial Brother Hundun Yu from the Hundun Clan. We just met each other not long ago and after King Yi gotten to know that we are under Human Sovereign, he offered to escort us back to the palace.

Upon hearing Zhong Yue’s name, sparks sparkled in the True Deity’s eyes and the sparks disappeared quickly after hearing Qing Qing’s words. The True Deity then smiled,
How kind and generous you are, King Yi. However, us petty affairs shouldn’t be occupying your precious time. King Yi must be heading back to the Heaven Suppression Fortress? I’m afraid that the fortress is not on the same way as ours so let us not hold you up.

Zhong Yue smiled and said softly,
It’s alright. Where is your master? Why don’t you introduce him to me?

The few of them exchanged a look, stunned lock on the spot and Qing Qing forced a smile,
He is not our master but our leader.

With a smile still on his face, Zhong Yue continued,
You don’t have raise your guards all up on me. I am very close to the Human Sovereign.

Suddenly, a very bright laughter sounded,
Mister Yi, Senior Martial Brother Yu! Such honourable guests! And here I thought Qing Qing and the others ran into some danger! This way please!

Zhong Yue turned around and he saw a young man walking towards them quickly; this young man was a very outstanding, noble and proud one. Judging from the aura emitted by this young man, he was a Deity Overlord but he was a very powerful one and he was very extraordinary among the human race.
With such a presence and cultivation at only the Deity Overlord level, he definitely could stand out even in the other races.
Zhong Yue praised and smiled,
They said you are serving under the Human Sovereign and was dispatched by him to save our people. Yiqi is an old friend of mine and a good friend in fact but I have not seen you before. I wonder if I have the pleasure of knowing your name?

The young man bowed slightly and said politely,
My name is Yun Juanshu, a new officer recently promoted by the Human Sovereign to handle external affairs. As much as I admired King Yi, I have not had the chance to meet you. Now, this way please, let us talk on the command warship.

Zhong Yue nodded and followed him to the command warship. Yun Juanshu ordered the servants after inviting Zhong Yue and Hundun Yu into the main chamber,
I will keep King Yi and Senior Martial Brother Yu accompanied, you go ahead and prepare to take off.

The servants bowed and immediately carried out Yun Juanshu’s order.
Zhong Yue examined around and he said,
Yun Juanshu… What a unique name. Brother Yun, by any chance, do you know Consort Tian Si?


Consort Tian Si?

Yun Juanshu’s eyes were filled with confusion and he shook,
Never heard of this name.

Zhong Yue then asked again,
How about Mo Yin?


Same, never heard of it.
shook Yun Juanshu.
With a light nod, Zhong Yue replied,
Good, it’s better for you then. These two might be bright humans but they serve a different master. If you ever run into them in the future, they will definitely try their best to recruit you. They have extraordinary intelligence but their vision is too narrow. I can see a trace of Consort Tian Si in you through what you are doing right now because she is doing the same thing. She has a batch of human gods under her, all spread across this universe to obtain information and saved the other humans out there.

Yun Juanshu immediately smiled,
King Yi must have misunderstood something. I may be an external affairs officer under the Human Sovereign, but I have not once heard of these two names.

Zhong Yue calmly replied,
I admired Consort Tian Si for a very long time, but she had already married someone else. She said that the person she married is hundred times better than me and because of this, I am greatly unhappy. Sigh, and here I thought you are her husband and that I might still stand a chance.

Hearing this, Yun Juanshu’s eyes turned around but Zhong Yue still continued,
Consort Tian Si, she is my beloved woman.


King Yi, could you please stop talking about Consort Tian Si?

At this point, Yun Juanshu could not stand it anymore and he said,
She is after all, someone else’s wife.


Then why are you so troubled? She’s not your wife.

Zhong Yue replied,
I am deeply in love with her and this love is taking a toll on me, giving me difficulty to fall asleep and preventing me from focusing on my duties. Her husband had obtained the Almanac of Six Paths but since they both serve different monarchs, who were both keen on sitting on that throne, the husband and wife will eventually come into conflict and shatter their relationship one day.

Veins popped out on Yun Juanshu’s forehead upon hearing his words.
Zhong Yue then purposely added oil onto fire,
Then, it will be the perfect chance for me to take you out and have the beautiful lady home with me. Perfect!


King Yi, aren’t you crossing the line? Have you no shame?
said Yun Juanshu as he forced out a smile.
Zhong Yue then laughed,
Consort Tian Si’s husband is not around, and you are not her husband as well so it’s fine if I just speak my heart. Consort Tian Si is a lady who possesses beauty and brains at the same time. Throughout the few battles with her, I find myself falling in love at her but disliked her at the same time. From then on, I can’t stop thinking of her….

Yun Juanshu interrupted suddenly,
Just now, King Yi said that Mo Yin and Consort Tian Si’s vision was too narrow and I just can’t figure it out after giving it a thought. Please explain, King Yi.
