He was one who opened the Bloodline Wheel, his atman’s and mortal body’s longevity were the same. If his mortal body died, his atman would disperse as well.
Only by ascending his soul into the Void World could he save his soul from death. In addition to the worships, one could theoretically continue to live eternally in the Void World.
However, in order to see Zhong Yue, the Nong Sovereign chose not to ascend his soul. Instead, he stayed back just for Zhong Yue, to tell the latter of the humans’ affairs, things that Zhong Yue wouldn’t know of. The uncompleted works of humanity’s rise, and every other plan, dreams, and ideal Nong Sovereign himself couldn’t have done it himself.
Zhong Yue stared dumbly at the elder’s soul who was smiling ear to ear on his arrival. Was there ever a need to take the risk of dispersing his soul just to meet with Zhong Yue? Was it actually worth it?
Zhong Yue could see it clear as crystal, the elder’s soul was already dispersing, the effect was irreversible and would be final. Once the soul was dispersed, Nong Sovereign would be no more.


However, the Void World could still save him. It was a world with no flow of time, although one’s soul would still slowly wither, the process was much slower, as long as there was enough worship, one could indefinitely prolong their effective lives.

You’ve finally come…
Nong Sovereign’s atman laughed,
Follow me, there are too many prying ears out here.

Zhong Yue and Jiang Yiqi followed the elder’s atman into the Human Sovereign Palace. Nong Sovereign hovered above his coffin, his face filled with exuberance and he said softly,
Fuxi, I never thought I will meet with a Fuxi in my life, but now I am seeing one. I have so many things to tell you, so many things I need you to know. What a shame, I was born too early, if I was born a few thousand years, no, even a few hundred years later, things might’ve been different…


No, it’s me who was born too late,
Zhong Yue’s voice was filled with sadness and he continued bitterly,
I couldn’t meet you when you were at your prime.


Not too late, not yet. At least, I still can see you.
The eyes of Nong Sovereign’s atman shone brightly as he said,
In this era, those who dare to become a Fuxi are all great and ambitious geniuses. I didn’t dare to, Yiqi didn’t, and nor did I allow Xuan Yuan to venture down that path. Yet, you did it, you dared to become a Fuxi. The things you’ve done have already set into motion a chain of events that will be bigger than anything I’ve ever achieved. I’ve let the ancient universe’s human race to inform you to not come, but you did so anyway. That just proves you are more a Fuxi.

Zhong Yue startled, he came only because he made a promise, that’s why he would come no matter what.
Nong Sovereign’s atman smiled,
I’ve been waiting for a Fuxi like you. My end is near and my life is unsalvagable, I cannot come back to aid you in your quest. However, before my atman disperses, I have a few important matters I need to tell you. Yiqi, please excuse us.

Jiang Yiqi was puzzled while Nong Sovereign continued,
You are the next Human Sovereign, only the humans are your responsibility. The matters of Fuxi are outside of your purview, knowing too much will only bring disaster.

Jiang Yiqi nodded and left, he didn’t exit the Human Sovereign Palace but entered a quiet room inside of the palace.
Even though Nong Sovereign was dead, there were still many eyes and ears spying from the dark. If he walked out of the palace, those who were spying would know immediately and suspect why Nong Sovereign’s atman only talked to Zhong Yue but not Jiang Yiqi. That way, troubles would arise for Zhong Yue.



The first and most important thing,
Nong Sovereign’s atman was slowly dispersing, but he was not affected by it and said solemnly,
The Fuxi Heavenly Monarchs’ cultivation techniques are all deciphered and countered.

Zhong Yue’s body shuddered in shock, he raised his voice,
How is that possible!? The Fuxi Heavenly Monarchs’ cultivation techniques are beyond reach, how can they be deciphered and countered?

Even Xin Huo nearly leaped out from his psyche ocean, the little flame shouted,
Impossible! The Heavenly Monarchs are all the strongest experts in the universe, how can their cultivation techniques be solved just like that!?


All of Fuxi Heavenly Monarchs’ cultivation techniques are countered, there are no exceptions.
Nong Sovereign’s atman continued,
This also includes the Fuxi Clan’s innate abilities, the natural totem patterns, the divine eye, the divine heart, the divine bones, the innate dragon scales, the snake tail, the celestial Qi; everything has been countered. If you can’t see yourself rising to a level above the Fuxi Clan’s Heavenly Monarchs, I suggest you give up now and live out the rest of your life as someone else in peace.

Zhong Yue was still shocked, one could tell just how great an impact this news had on him!
The strongest celestial race of an entire era, the knowledge and attainments of nearly a million years, and now Nong Sovereign was telling him none of those would be useful to him at all.
Xin Huo frowned, he shook his head and mumbled,
Impossible, impossible. Even if they have deciphered Monarch Xi Hao and the succeeding Fuxi Monarchs, they won’t be able to decipher those before; this is because the cultivation techniques before that are all with me, the Fuxi descendants won’t know any of it, let alone them…

However, Nong Sovereign didn’t notice the little flame in Zhong Yue’s psyche ocean. After all, he was dead and it was only his atman left with him, there wasn’t much cultivation base and arcane energy left with him anymore. Whereas on the other hand, Zhong Yue’s ascension into deityhood had boosted his power greatly to a point that even ordinary Creators wouldn’t be able to see through him anymore.

It is true, all of them were deciphered.
Nong Sovereign said,
The human race in the ancient universe is the Fuxi descendants. Before the Fuxi had all become humans, there were still a few powerful Fuxi remaining that tried to make waves. But none of them had a good ending, everything the Fuxi did had been seen through.

Could it be those ancient presences that have reincarnated into the Fuxi Clan stole the cultivation techniques and deciphered them, even deriving countermeasures for them?


Zhong Yue’s heart was throbbed, No, no, Xin Huo’s slumber has caused a loss in heritage to half of the Fuxi Heavenly Monarchs’ cultivation techniques, they can’t possibly find them at all, let alone decipher and counter! But other than Xin Huo, where would they find Hao Yi, Shi Yi, and the other Fuxi Heavenly Monarchs’ cultivation techniques?


The second thing,
Nong Sovereign’s voice was solemn,
Hideous and treacherous, there are some creatures that labeled themselves as Fuxi in the Zi Wei Galaxy, but they are the exact ones that you should be careful of. The same blood flows in your veins but they will not hesitate to eliminate you.

Zhong Yue kept quiet. True enough, the only ones worse than your enemies were traitors.

The third thing,
Nong Sovereign’s atman could be seen dimming away as he continued,
The existence that exterminated and sealed the Fuxi Clan may possibly just be a puppet. Something else bigger and darker lurks in the shadows. The fourth…

The Nong Sovereign tried to get out as much information as he could as felt his time running out,
Those that ran to the ancient universe brought a terrifying weapon with them. Through 80,000 years of endless worship and preparation, the weapon is now ready and active.


Fifth, I’ve left many allies for you, they may be of great help in the future.


Sixth, I am a hostage held in the Zi Wei Galaxy. However, being taken as a hostage means I have some support. These experts may help you but before that, you need to be a convincing candidate for them to do so…

…
One after another, Nong Sovereign told Zhong Yue everything he needed to know. By now, his atman was just a fine line away from dispersing.

Fuxi, I now hand the fate of humanity over to you! And one last thing—live and survive no matter what. As long as you are alive, then there will always be hope!



As he finished, Nong Sovereign’s atman scattered and dissipated in the breeze. The greatest leader that humanity had ever seen had finally completed his bitter life, fading to dust.
Zhong Yue stood in front of the coffin for several moments. He closed the lid and raised his head high up to prevent the tears from flowing out of his eyes. With all his might, he shouted,
Nong Sovereign has passed away! We shall send him off with our sincerest gratitude!

He bowed at the coffin deeply, in admiration for the old man who spent his life in service of humanity.
Outside of the palace, Nong Sovereign’s disciples and subjects had knelt toward the Human Sovereign Palace. The whole saint palace became blanketed in morose silence.
The quiet room’s door creaked open and Jiang Yiqi slowly staggered his way out from it to the side of Nong Sovereign’s coffin before kneeling down beside it.

Send senior martial brother!
The old man teared as he said.
Nong Sovereign was dead.
On the day of his funeral, many messengers from the other races attended to offer their condolences as well as to confirm that the Nong Sovereign truly was dead.
Then, there was also the Heavenly Monarch’s emissary who had come with the Heavenly Monarch’s imperial orders. He had conferred the Nong Sovereign with the rather ironic posthumous title of Duke of Fealty and Bravery.

Congratulations, Nong Sovereign can finally embrace peace and harmony!
All of a sudden, a human god among the guests stood up, he smiled,
Countless high and powerful experts didn’t end up well at the end of their lives, most even dying terribly. Yet, Nong Sovereign was able to die in peace. It is a good thing, we should celebrate!



Nong Sovereign’s disciples were all infuriated, they looked over and saw the speaker being one of the human leaders in the Zi Wei Galaxy.
Zhong Yue frowned, then turned to Jiang Yiqi.
The latter was also furious but maintained his emotionless expression. He transmitted his voice to Zhong Yue,
Qi Ting, disciple of the Imperial Emperor Xian Tian.


However, the Human Sovereign is, after all, humanity’s supreme leader, no matter what achievements or wrongdoings he had wrought, I have to offer him my admiration.

Qi Ting stepped forward and bowed at Nong Sovereign’s coffin while on the other hand, Jiang Yiqi stepped in between Qi Ting and Nong Sovereign’s coffin.
Krong—

A loud bang could be heard as an invisible skill rammed on Jiang Yiqi, causing blood to trickle out of the corner of his mouth, the force almost making him crash into the coffin.
Blood gushed up his throat but Jiang Yiqi forcefully swallowed it back. He chided,
Qi Ting, how dare you, are you trying to shatter Nong Sovereign’s dead body!?

Qi Ting gave a peal of dry laughs, he stood up and said,
I don’t believe he is dead just like that, so I was just trying to see if he is faking. Why is Senior Martial Brother Yiqi so nervous?

It was only then that Zhong Yue realized that the so-called human leader, Qi Ting, was actually trying to shatter Nong Sovereign’s corpse to see if the Human Sovereign was really dead!
Some of those that knelt are worse than dogs 
! He roared in his heart
Then, Nong Sovereign’s disciples walked over, they carried the coffin on their shoulders and sent the Human Sovereign to the human race’s ancestral burial ground.
In this Human Realm live countless humans. It was the only place that no outsiders would enslave the humans, the only place where the humans weren’t taken as livestock.
It was a realm created by the elder, one that was used to shelter the humans, to pass down knowledge and to nurture cultivators. Yet now, the realm was still here, but its old creator was no longer here to defend it.
In front of Nong Sovereign’s statue burned countless incense sticks as the humans worshipped him. However, these worships were just a form of ritual that allowed them to remember his contributions for life and to ease their aching hearts.
They would never be able to see Nong Sovereign ever, not even the shadows of his specter.
The fertile lands that he created had nurtured countless lives. And the knowledge to grow crops that he had gifted to them was to become his greatest contribution to humanity. It was this that had given him the moniker of the Nong Sovereign.
