Chapter 962: A Hundred Years Promise

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Because of this Dao Guardian’s responsibilities, Zhong Yue had been going through a lot. Apart from fending off all those with malicious intent, he also had to prevent those from the same side falling to the temptation of the Amaryllis. He also had to keep his guard up against himself, fearing that he would lose his mind as well.
Now, with the Hundredth Reincarnated Saint Amaryllis blossomed, Bi An was born into the world, and Zhong Yue was finally able to absolve himself of a Dao Guardian’s responsibilities.
On the Martial Saint Stage, even more gods got up after Zhong Yue walked away; previously, when Zhong Yue showed and explained the seventh secret realm, these gods had a glimpse of new knowledge and were now fervently discussing with each other about their understandings.
However, given the short amount of the time Zhong Yue shown them the seventh secret realm, these gods did not manage to learn much, so they could only grasp firmly onto what they learned and continue dwelling into it.
However, to be able to understand even a little bit, they were all talented gods. With their combined intelligence, even the smallest rivers would turn into a massive torrent when combined!
One by one, the gods started speaking, and even Zhong Yue himself felt that he had benefited a lot from the talks for there were a lot of talks about certain areas that he had not dwelled into.
Gradually, the Deity Emperors and Creators appeared and their talks were even more complicated and beneficiary.
“Mister Yi, in the future, we might be serving different masters and cross swords one day.”
Suddenly, an Imperial Emperor walked up to the Martial Saint Stage and caused an uproar with his opening speech. The gods around were all excited as this Imperial Emperor came from the Heaven Court. He was the Yu Lin Army’s commander. His name was Feng Wendao, a member of the Phoenix Clan.
With a simple flick, Feng Wendao’s armour detached pieces by pieces, flew towards the corner and he smiled, “But today, I am not the Yu Lin Army’s commander after I removed my armour. Now, I’ll be giving my speech through this Martial Saint Stage. Whatever happens in the future belongs to the future, not now.”
Zhong Yue then bowed slightly and invited, “Please, Senior Martial Brother Wendao.”
Feng Wendao bowed back and said, “The pursuit of the Dao is agnostic to seniority, only our knowledge matters in the end. Dear senior martial brothers and junior martial brothers, may I have your attention for a moment?”
He then shared his knowledge with everyone generously and compared to ordinary Deity Emperors and Creators, the contents in his speech were so much more complicated and advanced, which benefitted Zhong Yue even more.
After some time, when Feng Wendao was done with his speech, laughter burst out as another Imperial Emperor revealed himself. It was Lilu Clan’s Lu Qianqiu. He continued, “After benefiting so much from hearing such a detailed long talk, how petty will I be if I did not share as well?”
After Lu Qianqiu’s speech, another Imperial Emperor got up and this time, it was Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s Dao buddy, Tai Feng. He gave an amazing speech, then, one of the three South Heaven Gate’s Heavenly Kings, Heavenly King Xuan Wuzun got up, then Lou Zhengshi of the Heavenly River Navy Division and then Long Zhi.
One by one, these Imperial Emperors shared their knowledge one after another.
And this situation only stopped after about a month’s time.
Meanwhile in the Six Imperial Palace, the six monarchs were constantly looking at Martial Saint Stage’s lively situation with inconsistent breaths.
“Golden bird, what does this remind you of?” asked Demon Monarch Yang Hou towards Celestial Monarch Jin Wu softly.
With a complicated look in his eyes, Celestial Monarch Jin Wu kept quiet for a long time before saying, “I recalled Dao Venerate Fu Min’s reign. Back then, everything was in order, glorious and honourable. It was so much more livelier than this and I too, was like one of them. Apart from the eagerness to pursue Dao, there were no other mixed emotions in my mind.”
The demon Qi in Demon Monarch Yang Hou’s eyes flickered and he agreed, “I was among those ranks too. I recall seeking knowledge about the Six Paths Reincarnation from you and back then, there seemed to have no difference between celestials, demons and races. Back then, I did not call you as golden bird and you did not call me as the goat headed demon. We were getting along with each other.”
Celestial Monarch Jin Wu smiled as he recalled of the time when the celestial, demon and different races lived with one another as one. There were no conflicts, misconceptions and they were all working towards the same goal.
Dao Venerate Fu Min, the final Heavenly Monarch of the Earth Order Era, had affected the universes with his charisma, calmed the war between all races and finally, the innates and postnates were all working hard for the Six Paths Reincarnation.
When did all that change? They were no longer friendly to each other and those gods that they once called friends had become foes.
Celestial Monarch Jin Wu felt lost; partners that once got along with each other were not as close as they were, the celestial and demons were no longer communicating with one another and even invisible barriers appeared between innate celestial gods, innate demon gods and between both the postnatal and innate gods. When did all of this strife begin?
His memories clearly emerged in his mind again. When the war first started, he was furious and puzzled, he felt injustice spread slowly around him and he questioned why his Dao friends had broken the peace they all worked so hard for.
But the wars between the races, celestials, demons, innate and postnate gods still ruined the majestic era that Dao Venerate Fu Min had built.
He felt an invisible torrent charging around in the universe, destroying anything it touched as if there were a mastermind behind the scenes pulling the strings.
Then, Dao Venerate Fu Min bared his fangs. With his overwhelming army, he stomped the universe; Celestial Monarch Jin Wu’s friends became enemies, killed in the chaos and for him, he hid himself away from the war, fearing that he would be dragged into the bloodbath.
Then, Crown Prince Fu Shang appeared, accusing Dao Venerate Fu Min of being the source for all the chaos, causing a wide scale uproar. The spirit that connected the celestials, demons, innates and postnates had disintegrated.
Celestial Monarch Jin Wu felt anger, agony and he voiced out his questions and even became one of the main factors that destroyed the Earth Order Era.
Some time later, whenever he recalled the chaotic times, he grew suspicious about whatever happened and the more he suspected, the more he felt that Dao Venerate Fu Min was not the man pulling the strings.
Because right after the chaotic wars ended, Heaven showed up out of nowhere, replacing the Heavenly Monarch and quietly becoming the hegemon of the universe. Meanwhile, the Heavenly Monarchs were relegated to being called the Sons of Heaven. It truly was suspicious that when the Earth Order Era was slowly walking towards destruction, there was no so called “Heaven”. But right after its destruction, this “Heaven” had suddenly appeared.
With all these questions and no answers, Celestial Monarch Jin Wu, in his quest to get to the bottom of the mystery, plunged himself into grave danger, only managing to survive because of the Chaos Bead gifted to him by the Hundun Clan.
And this scene in the Martial Saint Stage had reminded him of the ambitious time where everyone only wanted to seek more about the Daos, his many friends and the past filled with blood and conspiracy.
“Friends….”
Celestial Monarch Jin Wu closed his eyes, two drops of tears rolled down from his cheek and burnt before they fell onto the ground.
The friends that laughed, cried and shouted with him were no more and sadness engulfed him when he recalled the peaceful and beautiful times.
Before him right now, as Zhong Yue organized the sharing session of seventh secret realm, the good times, beautiful era and dark years Celestial Monarch Jin Wu experienced flashed before his eyes again.
My friends….
He felt a twitching in his heart as if it was being twisted by pain and confusion.
Meanwhile, no one was talking on the Martial Saint Stage anymore and Zhong Yue stood at the centre, his voice echoed around the Heaven Court.
And for a split second, Celestial Monarch Jin Wu thought he saw Dao Venerate Fu Min on the Martial Saint Stage.
“Everyone, do not forget about this day!”
Zhong Yue laughed happily, “A hundred years from today, we will be resetting the Board of Future Monarchs and after receiving my letter, we will gather here again at this place!”
The gods all stood up, clapped and their laughter echoed for a long long time.
“Then we will be seeing you hundred years later, Mister Yi!”
“Mister Yi and everyone! Through this hundred years, it is difficult to say if we are going to remain friends or foes, perhaps we will be deciding each other’s fate on the battlefield, perhaps I might have fallen before your divine weapons but if I am still alive, then we are friends again at this day hundred years later!”
“Well said, Feng Wendao! Hundred years later today, we will become friends again!”
Laughter resounded as the gods bid farewell to one another; no one knew if they would return back alive at this place hundred years later and they had no idea if they could live until that day.
But as long as their determination was there, so was their Dao heart. With a letter, they would all show up and gather up again!
Zhong Yue and Yin Fanxuan stood up, Fu Li and Hundun Yu followed suit while Hundun Yu had already recorded this scene as he prepared to hand over his recordings to the ancestor without hiding a word.
Perhaps, this small moment would become a small portion of this grand era, but it would definitely will be a very important part.
The young Hundun Clan’s True Deity figured, We who record history will also be included in the history. In the future’s memory, there will be me as well….
Zhong Yue returned to his accommodation in the Heaven Court and the messengers from the other races were already preparing as they began their departures from the Heaven Court. The Heavenly Monarch’s celebration was over and so did the Martial Saint Stage’s Dao discussion.
The world’s fate was split into different portions; the Heavenly Monarch occupied the most, the Zi Wei Galaxy had taken up four portions, and the ancient universe had taken the remaining two portions. The situation of the heaven and earth was crystal clear now. Perhaps, they should get themselves ready for a war.
Zhong Yue then snuck into the Six Paths Bead and the lotus ocean was gone, leaving only a naughty child climbing up and down the crown prince, Fu Shang, with curiosity.
A Creator level child….
Zhong Yue’s eyes widened and he let out a humphed; as a new born, Bi An was already a Creator, hundred Heavens floated behind his head and they shined so bright that Zhong Yue found everything a little overly unreasonable.
Just what kind of a monster was he?
“Bi An, come here!” shouted Zhong Yue.
And when the boy jumped down from Fu Shang, landing in front of Zhong Yue, Zhong Yue’s expression darkened down as he suddenly had the urge to bite a flesh down from the boy.
“Bi An, do you remember me?”
“Of course,” said the little boy, “Little cousin, we will need you to protect us for a hundred years until we grow up and become able to fend for ourselves.”
