Rise of Humanity

0Zhong Yue was overjoyed, but Six Paths Fruit Tree immediately crushed his wild thoughts, "Don't you be too happy, I'm only following you because I needed to find a new home. I'm not here as your helper, and I have no reasons to help at all. Don't ever think about it."     0

Zhong Yue smiled, "I know, rest assured, senior, I will not force you to do anything. Not only that, I will find you a good place to stay as well.     

Six Paths Fruit Tree nodded, "Then, let's leave now before that notorious little girl finds out!"     

Chi Xue woke up and found Zhong Yue missing, she knew he has returned to the Ancestral Star.     

Immediately, she summoned her personal guards and rushed toward the hidden palace in the woods only to find it devoid of people. Even the garden in front of the palace was plundered from any spiritual herbs.     

"Oh no!" Chi Xue stamped her feet, "That ungrateful lover took them away!"     

But even when she found out the Six Paths Fruit Tree and the other divine herbs were taken away by Zhong Yue, she wasn't furious at all. Instead, she led her servants and left while thinking to herself, He has always been better than me, the Six Paths Fruit Tree and the divine herbs wouldn't be a waste in his hands...     

Zhong Yue led the Six Paths Fruit Tree to the West Barren, and headed toward the east. Six Paths Fruit Tree mulled and said, "From now on, you should call me as Old Man Six Paths so my identity will not be exposed."     

Zhong Yue nodded. The Six Paths Fruits from the Six Paths Fruit Tree were divine herbs just a fine line weaker than the Peacehs of Immortality and saint herbs. If Six Paths Fruit Tree's identity was exposed to the world, the other races and even the gods would have come after it!     

All of a sudden, Six Paths Fruit Tree furrowed his brows. A wave of godly aura burst out in front of then, and the godly rays shot through the firmament; a god could be seen pointing a war pike at them with great killing intent!     

Krong—     

The god's overbearing will repleted the air, and faint noises of war resounded in their ears. It felt as though they have fallen into a bloody battlefield—a desert painted with blood, paved with corpses, and scorched by the sun!     

"West Barren's god, Wen Changgong," Zhong Yue's heart skipped a beat.     

Other than Wei Xue God who he has captured, the neutral Zhu Jiumu, and Huang She God who seek refuge in Kun Lun, the only West Barren gods left was this war-like god, Wen Changgong.     

Wen Changgong comes from the Ding Ri Celestial Race, he was in a closed door training to remedy his injuries and only came out recently. He was one of the two gods that were unsatisfied with Zhong Yue, the other being a demon god from the Asura Saint Race.     

Wen Changgong's killing intent was so strong it swept the dust and sand away from him, he startled when he saw the Six Paths Fruit Tree, "A helper? Are you not afraid of death?"     

Right away, the intense will and godly aura pressured down on the Six Paths Fruit Tree; Old Man Six Paths's face changed slighty, he gave a cold hum, and disarmed the incoming pressures.     

Wen Changgong's face also changed, the war pike quivered rapidly as he pierced it through the sky. At that instant, a dimensional rift abruptly appeared in front of the old man, and the war pike lunged out for his throat!     

But it was as if he has foreseen it to come, Old Man Six Paths raised a hand and stopped the pike by its tip. He then pushed it out back into the dimensional rift while unleashing his aura out even stronger than Wen Changgong. One could even vaguely perceive the images of the godly corpses within his aura!     

Wen Changgong's expression changed drastically, an overpowering strength came from the tip of the war pike and crushed through his defense, piercing the war pike back into his chest!     

Immediately, he turned and morphed into a celestial being with wings and a chicken head, and he left without any hesitation.     

"Your enemy?" Zhong Yue looked at Old Man Six Paths and asked curiously.     

Old Man Six Paths frowned, he shook his head in reply, "No, I don't even know who he is. This is the first time I have come to the Ancestral Star, how could I have any enemies here? Could he be a Kun Lun god? But that don't make sense too, I never stirred any trouble at all. Could it be yours instead?"     

Zhong Yue laughed and replied, "How can my enemy attack you first than me? Old Man Six Paths, you must have offended someone unintentionally, or maybe even worse, your identity might have been exposed!"     

Old Man Six Paths stiffened up his face, "It is possible! Thankfully I have left Kun Lun, or I might have been beleaguered by the gods now!"     

Zhong Yue smiled, "Although you have spared his life, he still won't appreciate you for that. He will come back for you again, if not you, then it'd be your divine herb servants."     

Old Man Six Paths nodded, "If there is a second time, I will kill him dead on the spot."     

Just as he spoke, the surrounding was suddenly ladened with a godly yet demonic aura. Zhong Yue and Old Man Six Paths both locked their brows, and they looked over to its source.     

The demonic aura came from an insect god with the size of a mountain, donned in a full golden armor suit, and wields a weapon each on the six arms.     

"There's two of them!" Old Man Six Paths sensed a barely noticeable aura and he said, "Another one is hiding!"     

Zhong Yue tensed his heart. He immediately focused his senses and picked up another faint surge of aura lingering underneath the billowing godly aura. Clearly, it was from a second insect god!     

Zhong Yue was the main cause of the insect race's annihilation, even the insect gods were left with two surviving. Surely enough, the last two insect gods would have hunt for him to avenge their people!     

Old Man Six Paths squinted his eyes in disgust, it was the nature of the divine herbs against the insects. He frowned and asked, "Your enemies, or mine?"     

"Both works fine!" Zhong Yue's face turned gloomy, he cast out the Divine Wing Saber in killing intent and answered, "Whether if they are yours or mine, we are on the same team now. If that's the case, why is there a need to differentiate them? Just kill them both will do!"     

It makes so much sense at first glance and Old Man Six Paths agreed. He didn't know if the insect gods followed him here from Kun Lun, or were they in the Ancestral Star in the first place; but whichever it was, he still wouldn't let them go as they were his natural enemies!     

The golden armored insect god moved like a giant toward Zhong Yue and Old Man Six Paths. He reached to their front in just the blink of an eye, and brought all six divine weapons down at them in a slashing motion!     

Meanwhile, Zhong Yue has cast out the Divine Wing Saber and Old Man Six Paths softly stamped his feet on the ground. Immediately, tree roots pierced through the soils and tangled on the insect god, restricting his movements.     

In the next second, a flash of saber ray has cleaved on the insect god!     

At the same time, the earth behind him cracked, and the shade of a white elephant looking insect god shadowed them.     

Right at this instant, Old Man Six Paths's messy hairs abruptly straightened up and perforated into the assaulting insect god. His hairs grew into a tree crown, and asundered the insect god into pieces!     

Zhong Yue quickly cast the copper lamp out, he collected the shattered parts of the insect god and also the insect god he has cleaved into half.     

"Nice treasure." Old Man Six Paths looked at the copper lamp and praised sincerely.     

However, Zhong Yue was able to capture a glimpse of greed that flashed past Old Man Six Paths's eyes, he then handed the copper lamp over and said while smiling, "Senior, do you want to have a look?"     

Old Man Six Paths received the copper lamp, he inspected it and tried everything he could on it, but seeing the copper lamp doesn't react to him at all, he shook his head and gave it back to Zhong Yue.     

Zhong Yue smiled,and he kept the copper lamp, "Now, no one will stand on our way anymore."     

"There's just one last one." Old Man Six Paths suddenly said.     

Zhong Yue strode out while saying, "I know very well who he is, but he won't dare to show himself after seeing us killing the two insect gods."     

Old Man Six Paths followed behind, he asked curiously, "His aura is faint and shadowy, and has been here from the start. Why do you say he won't dare to come out?"     

Zhong Yue smiled, but never explained.     

Faraway, Feng Wuji was holding a solemn face, he shook his head, sighed and left.     

This Zhong Shan Clan child, he brought back a helper from the Kun Lun Realm. What a strong old man! This old man's presence has laid all my efforts in persuading the gods in vain. Who is he? What level exactly is he in?     

Soon after, Feng Wuji found Wen Changgong. The West Barren god was badly injured, his face was pallid and his voice hoarse, "High priest, where did the Zhong Shan Clan member find such a strong helper? I've been injured in just one strike, is he a Heavenly Deity? But that's unlikely, although his prowess is strong, his skills seemed to be just mediocre…"     

"Mediocre skills?" Feng Wuji startled, "A spurious Heavenly Deity? This old man is strange, we won't be able to take down Zhong Yue if this old man is on his side. Seems like we will have to request the Asura demon god, Tuz Bawk to help us. Also, Lord Kun might come in handy in the future. The Zhong Shan Clan is now the biggest common enemy of all the races, as long as he still walks on this planet, we will never be able to stay in peace anymore. He must die!"     

Wen Changgong quickly added, "We West Barren still have Senior Martial Brother Zhu Jiumu, he is even stronger…"     

However, Feng Wuji gave a cold sneer once he heard the name, "This Zhu Jiumu has helped the Zhong Shan Clan so many times, they are of close relation. He wouldn't do it even if you've asked for his help."     

Wen Changgong frowned, "I'll give it a try to ask help from Senior Martial Brother Jiumu, while you will go to the Asura Tuz Bawk and Lord Kun. That way, even if Senior Martial Brother Jiumu doesn't want to offer his help, we still have Tuz Bawk and Lord Kun!"     

Feng Wuji nodded, and the two parted ways.     

On the other hand, Zhong Yue and Old Man Six Paths didn't return to Swords Gate immediately, instead, Zhong Yue brought them to the oversea continent and arrived outside of the City of Nature. Old Man Six Paths was astonished when he saw the city, he stared at it for a very long time, and praised after, "What a stunning god!"     

"This is a city formed by the direct descendant of an innate god, I nearly died the last time I was here." Zhong Yue said while smiling, "Senior, can you lend me a hand so I can keep this City of Nature?"     

"Why not?" Old Man Six Paths smiled, while rays flashed across his eyes, "However, this is not a simple god. His blood and flesh is of good use to the divine herbs, if you can give me some, I will kindly lend you a hand!"     

Zhong Yue nodded, he cast the copper lamp, while Old Man Six Paths surged his arcane energy out. Zhong Yue seized control over the abundant arcane energy and slowly sucked the City of Nature into the copper lamp.     

Just seconds before the whole City of Nature was sucked into the copper lamp, Zhong Yue has suddenly closed the lamp lid, leaving a huge chunk of Patriarch Nature's mortal body outside!     

Old Man Six Paths was overjoyed, he quickly kept the hill-sized flesh and said while smiling, "I am the divine herbs to you cultivators, while the god's body is also the divine herbs to me!"
