The Heaven Court’s Creators and Realm Lords yelled sternly and rushed out into the void while the dark smoke surged into the endless darkness at tremendous speed.
Then, another few presences with masks covering their faces stood in their paths, keeping the Creators and Realm Lords entagled in battle.
After a few moments, a voice rumbled into their ears,
It is safe now, time to leave!


Time to leave!
the anonymous presences bolted and left in a split second. Realm Monarch Bo Luo roared and morphed into the form of his three-taloned Golden Crow before chasing after them. He was one of the fastest in this world, even those strong presences couldn’t outrun him.
It was then that the anonymous presences suddenly stopped and turned around. They each launched a skill at the incoming Golden Crow, lighting up the darkness with the brilliant radiance of their skills as if a million suns had exploded.


Realm Monarch Bo Luo muffled a deep groan, he fell back down and was only able to unload the impact force by retreating a few steps backward while spurting out a few mouthful of blood.
He left a trail of burning demonic blood in the blank space in front of him.

Haha, the strongest Realm Monarch of all 3,000 Six Paths Worlds? Is that all you’ve got…
A voice resounded the space right before the mased presences disappeared.
The Creators’ and Realm Lords’ hearts throbbed, they immediately stopped and didn’t dare to give chase anymore.

My Majesty…

Realm Monarch Bo Luo abruptly raised his hand, his voice was solemn and deep,
My injuries are fine; leave them be!

His face was dark and gloomy as he walked back toward the Heaven Court in the Bo Luo Six Paths World. However, the demonic blood that was still trickling down the corner of his mouth clearly showed that his injuries weren’t as trivial as he made them out to be.
Realm Monarch Bo Luo was not afraid of any of the intruders, even being able to handle all seven of them at once. It was true the seven of them were strong, but they were restricted from casting their strongest arts and techniques in fear of exposing their true identities.
However, that being said, their true prowess was not much weaker than his, each and every one of them was a peak Creator themselves!
And when they worked together, the power of the skills they could cast was so terrifyingly strong that it left him powerless and gravely wounded. Now, Realm Monarch Bo Luo could only return to the Heaven Court as soon as possible and go into a seclusion to avoid permanent damage on his cultivation!


Their names and reputations must be somewhat renowned across the 3,000 worlds, otherwise there wouldn’t be a need to hide their skills.

Realm Monarch Bo Luo returned to the Heaven Court, he movements swayed for a split second, nearly tripping himself and his control over his blood essence wavered, causing him to nearly spurt out a mouthful of blood again.
Then, when he saw the empty treasure vault, he still couldn’t suppress the burning fire in him even though he knew vigorous emotional fluctuation would worsen his injuries. As a result, another mouthful of blood was spurted up the air.

Human Zhong Yue, I swear that I’ll skin you!

…
The dark smoke surged in the boundless space for a distance beyond measurable and time far too long to keep track. Suddenly, unbeknownst to Zhong Yue, the dark smoke began to progressively slow down.
Zhong Yue looked out and found a large region of space in front of him filled with countless irregularly shaped asteroids. These asteroids were most probably the debris and dust formed from a shattered planet.
The dark smoke entered the region of asteroids and went deeper into it. All of a sudden, an elevated stage with a huge gourd of over a thousand feet tall in the center came into his view.
On its side sat a man covered in a black robe, he appeared to be as tiny as an ant when compared to the gourd beside him.
Who is he? Such appalling arcane energy, being able to reach all the way to the Bo Luo Six Paths World from this place and still hold such tremendous power at the same time, 
Zhong Yue was astonished.


The dark smoke surged into the gourd while Zhong Yue shook himself out from the dark smoke. He landed on the stage and bowed at the dark-robed man,
Senior, thank you for saving my life.

The sounds of metal chains clanking rang out when the black-robed man stoop up. It was then that Zhong Yue noticed the chains that shackled the man’s hands and legs, and the huge metal chain across his waist and the gourd’s.

A hundred thousand years ago, we were one. There is no need to thank me for anything.
His voice was hoarse like an old man’s. He tightened the metal chains and carried the colossal gourd on his back like an ant carrying a mountain. He said,
I’ve left a teleportal, the destination is set and you should go now. Someone will be there waiting for your arrival at the other end.

Zhong Yue startled, he asked,
We were one a hundred thousand years ago? Are you…

The black-robed man’s back stooped under the weight of the gourd, making him look even more old and dreary than he was. What was a hoarse voice was now added with sorrowness in it as the man replied,
Was one, but not anymore. Now, I am nothing more than just a homeless wanderer who lives in his own gourd.

Then, the man leaped out of the stage and let the darkness of the void swallow him.
Zhong Yue stared blankly for a long time until the man disappeared in his vision, he mumbled,
A wanderer and his gourd… Why did he shackle his own hands and legs to the gourd?

The reason why Zhong Yue believed that the black-robed man was the one who shackled himself was because Zhong Yue could tell that the man was tremendously strong, perhaps in the same level or even on-par with Realm Monarch Bo Luo.
Who exactly was powerful enough to capture and shackle him?
Furthermore, although the metal chains were on him, his arcane energy and movements weren’t restricted at all, which made it clear that he was the one that shackled himself.


Xin Huo suddenly said,
It wasn’t his body and the divine weapon that he has bound to, it’s his soul that is truly shackled. I think, he is doing this in fear of losing control of himself.

Zhong Yue kept quiet for a few moments before moving on to inspect the teleportation formation on the stage. Unlike those he had seen before, this teleportation formation wasn’t engraved on the stone pillar but the stage itself.

It contains some part of the [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture], but it is incomplete and the abstrusities in it are shallow. Looks like he was a Fuxi, but was reincarnated into some other race. That was probably what he meant by him being a homeless wanderer.

Other than that, a self-destruction sequence was also embedded in the teleportation formation that would destroy it when Zhong Yue was teleported away.
Zhong Yue stepped onto the center of the formation, activated it and a light beam teleported him away.
After some time, the energy in the teleportation formation was depleted and Zhong Yue’s speed slowed down. In the darkness, a lighthouse was slowly spinning by itself, illuminating its surroundings.
All of a sudden, the light shone upon him and a bizarre force pulled him into the lighthouse.
The lighthouse’s inner space was huge. A four-legged giant was standing in the center. He had only one eye glaring in the dark; it was the source of the light from the lighthouse!

Senior, thank you for saving me,
Zhong Yue bowed and thanked.

A hundred thousand years ago, we were one. There is no need to overdo the formalities.
The one-eyed, four-legged giant said,
The teleportation formation is ready, your arrival is expected. Go now, I will wipe off the traces.



Zhong Yue stepped into the teleportation formation and before the light beam brought him far away, he turned his head around and saw the only light in the dark extinguishing along with the lighthouse’s and giant’s disappearance.
How far the teleportation took him, he did not know. It was as if everything was calculated to its minutest details when the teleportation light beam’s energy was depleted, Zhong Yue was lead away by a cluster of rainbow clouds and finally found himself on a continent.
The continent was hovering in space on its own, seemingly coming out of nowhere and meandering aimlessly throughout the cosmos.
All of a sudden, a blinding light burst out above the continent as a rose above the horizon. The sun was constantly orbiting around the continent, but the whole continent and sun were invisible from the outside as it was cloaked with arcane energy.
As the sun rose up, its light gradually spread across the continent, revealing to the Zhong Yue the contours of its cities and the bustle of human activity.

Fuxi, I can’t hold you longer.
A voice came from behind him, Zhong Yue turned back and saw a granny with a walking stick whose old and wrinkled face failed to hide her past beauty. She must’ve been an alluring lady in her prime days, countless men would’ve had fallen in her.

But for some unknown reason, she stayed on this lone continent, settled down here and sheltered the humans with her power as she slowly aged.

Senior, thank you for saving me,
Zhong Yue bowed and thanked again.
The granny’s benign countenance smiled, she said,
Spare the formalities, we were one before. You don’t have to be too polite.

Zhong Yue’s nose twitched and a thin layer of water covered his visions. He quickly turned and entered the teleportation formation prepared for him by the old woman, leaving the lone continent.
Along the way, he had stepped through over tens of teleportation formations, each and every one of them guarded by an old expert. Some were willing to meet him with their true faces, some covered their identities, and some didn’t even show themselves to him.

A hundred thousand years ago, we were one,
was what all of them said before sending him away.
The trip continued like this until the last stop. An old man wearing a bamboo conical hat escorted to a little barge, slowly pushing the boat to the front with a long bamboo pole and entering a Six Paths World.
Zhong Yue looked at the teleportation formation that appeared in front of him; this teleportation formation would probably be the last, after this, he would reach his final destination.

Fuxi…
The old man who never spoke a single word before suddenly said. Then, regaining his usual silence a few moments before he continued with a voice filled with untold grief,
Don’t let us down.

Zhong Yue nodded heavily. He stepped into the teleportation formation and watched as the little barge left.
By the time Zhong Yue crossed the final portal, Zhong Yue’s worldview had undergone a total change from when he began his journey.
My people did not let me down, and so I will not fail you too. Never will!

As time passed, the energy in the teleportation light beam depleted and Zhong Yue found himself falling toward the summit of a sky-high mountain in the Heaven Realm of the Wei Shen Six Paths World.
On the mountain summit, a grand palace was hovering in mid-air with its roof turned wide open in a spiral action. A voice came from within,
Fourth brother, the man you are looking for has arrived.

Zhong Yue landed in the grand palace and the palace’s roof closed. The Bi and An brothers were standing in the palace, watching Zhong Yue with wide smiles.
Other than them, there was another brawny celestial being with the body of a human and the head of a dragon. He was also smiling as he said,
Finally here. My little cousin from the Fuxi Clan, it’s truly a miracle that you made it out alive, congratulations.

Zhong Yue bowed, he asked,
And this big brother is?


Spare the formalities, I am Suan Ni, your older cousin.
The brawny celestial being replied,
This is one of my many palaces, but I am not in very often, even this body is just an incarnation of mine, specially here for you.

Zhong Yue quickly thanked him.
Whereas Bi and An laughed,
I see you’ve changed your appearances, it seems like you now have a clear mind of the perilous position you are in now. You are now public enemy number 1 across all the 3,000 Six Paths World. Not many places are safe for you now; but fear not as the worlds are far too big to catch you too. The Wei Shen Six Paths World is not suitable for you anymore, what plans do you have in mind?
