Rise of Humanity Chapter 1125 - Changes In Returning Ruins

Chapter 1125: Changes In Returning Ruins
Yuan Ya Deity King had already devoured 26 monarchs, and as for Heavenly Monarch Tian Yuan, he was killed when he was still the Heavenly Monarch and probably dug out when he just got buried.
Dao Venerate Fu Min killed a total of 3,000 monarchs, there should be about 2,000 monarchs that survived that era…. So where are their monarch races?
If there are about 2,000 of them remaining, there should be another 2,000 monarch races! Where are they? Why are they not around? Does this mean that many of them are already killed and the rest had to go into hiding to stay alive? They too, do not wish to become one of the bigger fish that are preyed upon by ancient beings like Yuan Ya Deity King!
When he arrived at the ancient ship and was about to run away, the skies turned dark as the black crow’s talons shrouded the skies!
That black crow grabbed onto the ship when it was flying forward with maximum power, and as a result, the ship rammed right onto the Innate Dao Mountain; Zhong Yue was injured by the crash and that black crow was knocked out for a split second, forcing it to let go.
Why did Dao Venerate Fu Min kill the monarchs? Perhaps affected by that horrendous weapon in the Imperial Star. Maybe, he was trying to catch these fish beforehand to deny Yuan Ya Deity King and the others from consuming these fish, to destroy the path of them achieving Seven Paths Reincarnation, prolonging the time they would take to achieve it at the very least!
Before this grave danger, Zhong Yue’s mind had never been this clear. At lightning speed, everything that confused him regarding the ancient mysteries became clear.
Dao Venerate Fu Min must have discovered this mysterious organization in his later years, and after knowing that there was a weapon buried deep in the Imperial Star that could affect his thinking, he played along with their plan and took the upper hand by raising the conflicts between the monarchs, celestials and demons, utilizing the chaos to kill the monarchs and forging the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds.
He was fighting for a brighter future with everything he could, on one hand, he was clearing the fishes in the pond, foiling the organization’s dark plot, and on the other, he was preparing for the future’s end game.
But before he could realize his ambition, Heaven appeared. Using Crown Prince Fu Shang’s foolishness, Heaven tricked him into discovering his father’s “evil” plans and used him against Dao Venerate Fu Min to deal a decisive blow on the old aged Dao Venerate Fu Min.
At that time, the purge was not done, there were around 2,000 monarchs alive!
After Dao Venerate Fu Min’s passing, apart from those who died of old age, many of these monarchs were eaten alive by Yuan Ya Deity King and the others. Meanwhile, the remaining ones noticed the odds and decisively went into hiding along with their race. This was why they were nowhere to be found and the tiny amount of monarch races!
This is also why Monarch Chang Sheng and Celestial Monarch Jin Wu almost died when they try to uncover the mystery behind the chaotic war!
A cold traveled down Zhong Yue’s spine upon finding out the truth.
This was not told to him, not even by Goddess Shen Hou, it was all learned through this journey.
This truth was a dark one, scarily dark, a truth filled with nothing but despair and hopelessness.
At the same second, right behind him, the Innate Dao Mountain seemed to have turned to life, the Dao Mountain experienced abnormal changes and started moving and endless dimensions locked Zhong Yue and his ancient ship entirely!
“You insect! How dare you intrude my land when my true body is absent!”
The black crow landed in front of him, and spoke human, “My true body is on his way back, there is no escape for you anymore!”
Zhong Yue’s heart skipped a beat, Yuan Ya Deity King is on his way here? This is bad, I’m already in hot water and if Yuan Ya Deity King returns, I would be even deeper into this mess! That’s it! I know where Yuan Ya Deity King is right now!
In 3,000 Six Paths Worlds, the first Six Paths World’s ruined Returning Ruins.
Back then, not long after Zhong Yue left the first Six Paths World, the Returning Ruins was already broken. The entire continent was ground by the black hole, which was, in turn, burst apart by the horrendous energy.
When the Returning Ruins black hole exploded, Ancient Mother Di Lin escaped in the nick of time, dragging herself away from death with the help of the explosion. However, apart from her, the many divine herbs that came to life and the wraiths chained by Returning Ruins all evaporated in the explosion.
There was a damaged continent, however, that escaped amidst the explosion.
On this land, there was nothing at all but a lonely Five Fingers Mountain.
Right now, the Five Fingers Mountain was branded with totem patterns, emitting divine light while rounded patterns slowly landed themselves onto the fingers repeatedly.
In midair, gigantic faces emerged, vaguely to be seen, but their look was entirely hidden beneath the bright divine light.
“Yan Xing Deity King is free now, this is a thing to be celebrated!”
Yuan Ya Deity King’s voice sounded, “But, there is a personal affair between us that needs to be settled. Why don’t we settle this right here and clear off the karma between us? Without this bad karma, Yan Xing Deity King, you will be freed from some burden. With that, you might even be able to pursue a higher realm!”
Another ancient voice sounded from the outer heavens, laughing, “Senior martial brother is right. Now that Senior Martial Brother Yan Xing Deity King is free right now, we should really settle our personal affairs right now!”
Outside the heaven, one after another face nodded and smiled, “Precisely. At this very day, your happiness will be doubled, Yan Xing Deity King, are you not happy?”
Beneath the mountain, however, a burly voice grinned, “You are all just trying to take advantage of me when I am still weak! Stop sugar coating your dirty intentions, everyone knows that you are all evil in the inside! Dark Monarch sealed me away and you are all worried about my strength now that I am still alive! All you want is to kill me when you have the chance!”
An old voice smiled, “Yan Xing Deity King, you are thinking like an extremist! If we really are going to make things even more difficult for you, we would’ve acted when you were still in the seal.”
Another ancient one said, “Yan Xing Deity King, there are too many complicated thoughts that is messing with your mind and here we are, being accused wrongfully by you when we are merely offering you help, to clear you off your karma debt while we continue to bear the debt on us. Do you not know that we are sacrificing ourselves to help you succeed?”
“Have you no shame!”
The Five Fingers Mountain trembled vigorously before the anger of Yan Xing Deity King. This Five Fingers Mountain was actually the severed palm of innate Dark Monarch, it turned into a fortified mountain, but now, it was on the verge of collapsing.
“You have all much more dishonored than me!”
The voice’s volume intensified all of a sudden, giving another push to the toppling process of the mountain, only to have hands descending from the outer heaven, slamming towards the Five Fingers Mountain and voices laughed, “We are all the same, dirty on the inside. So save yourself from trying to act like you are one with honor and justice!”
The pressure on the mountain increased by multiple folds. The ground around the mountain shattered, blood started flowing out from the fissures, the blood was the blood of an innate god, and there was so much blood loss that it turned into a river of blood filled with celestial Qi.
Suddenly, a lady’s voice said, “Dear Dao companions, you have crossed the line, cease your actions at once!”
Another few hands showed up and among them, a lady’s hand grabbed towards the hands pressing on the mountain while the others, either fist or claw, pummeled towards the hands pressing the mountain with incredible force.
Right away, these hands on the mountain were forced to back off and started fighting back; one after another, hands circled around the Five Fingers Mountain and clashed with each other. The impact was so great that it shattered the mountains around and trembled the Returning Ruins.
Even Kun Lun and A’thoer that were located far away outside the galaxy were shaking before the shockwaves, stars started raining down on the two great sacred grounds.
The gods in Kun Lun and A’thoer ascended into the air and charged right at the falling stars. They did their best to stop the meteor shower from crashing into their sacred grounds.
If these stars were left unattended, they would plow the sacred grounds heavily, reaping the lives of many. The sacred grounds would be left uninhabitable.
This nerve-wracking incident lasted for days, stressing the gods in the two sacred grounds greatly, causing them to fear that they were facing an apocalypse. Even Western Mother Empress herself was all tensed up. She looked into the deep galaxy and shouted suddenly, “Summon Ying Dragon!”
Not long later, Long Yue arrived and the Western Mother Empress asked, “Eastern Father Emperor, what is happening in the outer heavens? What kind of existences are having a fight?”
Long Yue replied, “Must be the prehistoric existences suppressed under the Five Fingers Mountain trying to break free, he must have attracted both his enemies and allies. These guys are all stronger than monarchs, fortunately for us, they are far away from here so Chi Xue, you don’t have to be worried.”
Western Mother Empress however, was still worried and she said, “If the shockwaves they created reached us, what should we do?”
“Nothing, for there is only one way out of this, death.”
Long Yue explained, “Even the slightest bit of their attacks would be too much for us, they will render us entirely defenseless and everything will be destroyed. Luckily enough for us, they are not fighting at full strength or the entire first Six Paths World would explode, leaving not even a remnant. If there is really an attack that landed here, we must hide in the Ancestral Star. Upon arriving, we can defend ourselves with Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s weapon, there are also monarch tombs all over and the Heavenly Monarchs’ weapons from the Fire Order and Earth Order Era.”
Western Mother Empress was still very anxious but was comforted when Long Yue brought up the Ancestral Star. She cleared her mind and cast everything aside and said, “Rumors had it that Ancestral Star’s Xuan Yuan has united the barrens with the aid of the Bai Zhe Clan. His reign has reached its peak. As for the barrens overseas, it is entirely conquered by Chi You. Xuan Yuan and Chi You. The tension between them is growing as the days pass. I fear that they will end up fighting each other one day. However, it seems like you are friends with both sides, so who shall I help?”
Long Yue frowned slightly and said, “I will have Shui Zian dispatched as an emissary. He will get in touch with both sides, carrying my letter to convince both sides to work together.”
Western Mother Empress smirked, “And you think it’s possible? With them being the only powers left in the Ancestral Star, war is bound to happen! If you have Teacher Rain dispatched, Chi You will keep him imprisoned for sure! Power, power, power… power begets greed. Their fight will only worsen until only one remains standing!”
Meanwhile, in the Returning Ruins, under the attacks of the ancient ones, the ruins had already fallen apart, leaving only the Five Fingers Mountain and the land right beneath the mountain remaining. Some of the ancient ones also stole the blood river made of the innate god’s blood amidst the chaos and smiled, “Heh, some extra gains for our disciples! Yan Xing, we will make sure that they will all be grateful of you for their achievements one day!”
Suddenly, Yuan Ya Deity King screamed in shock, turned into a black crow and shouted furiously as he left, “Damn you! How dare you humiliate me like that!”
