Rise of Humanity

Chapter 564 - The Last Fuxi

The young man searched for the gods’ graves while the eye continued to stare at him. However, even though he was able to find a few, the light never came out again, and neither did the skeletons were resurrect like last time.

It was as if the bizarre light rays understood to no longer go near to him.

Strange, the power of the Six Paths in here is different to the one in the Returning Ruins. In the Returning Ruins, the power of Six Paths was nearly everywhere, but dead. The power of Six Paths here feels as if it is alive, Zhong Yue thought puzzlingly.

Creak…

The sound of rusty gears turning and blunt objects clanging echoed from afar. It wouldn’t be considered loud, but in this deathly quiet city, its din seemed to override every other sound.

Zhong Yue traced the sounds, walking past a line of trees and finding himself standing in front of a green land — a land paved with green vines on the floor like a huge net. Not a single spot on the floor wasn’t covered.

The noises came from directly below the green vines.

Zhong Yue cast the Golden Peng Sword out and slashed down some of the vines in front of him.

It was dark beneath, and he couldn’t see anything at all. But the noises grew louder and harsher.

He slashed down again one time after another, breaking the vines away. After some time, the green vines were finally all destroyed.

Then, the young Fuxi stood still like a statue, not moving a single inch at all, except for his widening eyes.

It was a pit, its top was sealed with a crystal clear barrier. So huge that it was more than enough to bury an army of soldiers in it. And in fact, it did.

He couldn’t tell how deep the pit was since it was filled an innumerable number of skeletons. These skeletons stacked on top of one another and were trying to escape from the pit.

The creaking noises came from the skeleton hands scratching the barrier and the banging noises were from the skeletons banging their skulls against it.

The spiritual energy in these skeletons was yet to fully disperse, some of their bones were still engraved with totem patterns, some were innate totem patterns while the others were seemingly acquired during their cultivation.

These totem patterns were incredibly profound, the spiritual energies were still strong but was also fading. A mysterious force was drawing them away from the skeletons.

Zhong Yue stared at the skeletons, his eyes brimming with pain and sorrow.

The Fuxi Clan.

The uncountable skeletons in the bottomless pit were all gods of the Fuxi Clan.

The gods of the Fuxi clan were all buried in the pit, he couldn’t even count how many of them were there in the pit. These skeletons were still struggling, trying to climb out, as if oblivious of their death.

Tears rolled down the young man’s cheeks.

Even the normally boisterous Xin Huo had nothing to say as he viewed the scene in front of him through Zhong Yue’s eyes.

As soon as Zhong Yue’s tears dropped on the barrier, it rippled like a pool of clear water. All of a sudden, the skeletons inside of the barrier settled down.

The skeletons raised their heads up, revealing eye sockets on their glabella where the divine third eye would have been.

Then, from the divine third eye’s sockets, the Fuxi skeletons released bright divine rays that formed a light beam that pierced up into the sky.

Zhong Yue did not try to evade, standing steadfast on the ground as he became engulfed in the light.

Moments later, when the light faded away, Zhong Yue found himself sent out from the City of Nature again. This time, he was on a battlefield.

Torn banners fluttered with the wind. Divine weapons were strewn across the floor, and broken warships that crashed down from the sky littered the landscape.

Headless bodies and shattered corpses paved the ground and painted the land.

High up in the sky, hundreds of six-colored light wheels spun, resembling like the Six Paths Reincarnations.

These Six Path Reincarnations filled the sky, and there should’ve been some figures standing in front of the light wheels, but none could be seen.

Then, further away, Zhong Yue was startled to notice Mother Da Zhen.

She was in her insect form, it was a secondary body she had prepared for herself in the case she needed to give up on her old body. But the transition time between these bodies was also when she was at her most vulnerable. There was no way she could protect herself anymore if Zhong Yue wanted to kill her now.

But Zhong Yue moved his eyes away her to look further away. Mother Da Zhen was shocked and heaved a breath of relief after, “This brat, has he gone mad? Why would he let such a good chance slip away…”

Battles were taking place on the other side between the Fuxi and their enemies, and this was where Zhong Yue’s attention was currently directed.

Up high in the sky, huge hands extended out from the Six Paths Reincarnation wheels and slammed down. Along with the hands, many other divine weapons came down, slashing down at the Fuxi gods as well.

“Fuxi Clan!" An imposing voice reverberated the sky, “Your time has ended, your race is done. There is nothing you can do about it!”

“Give up and surrender yourselves!" another voice said.

“The Fuxi has lorded over the universe for too long, but even your Earth Order Era will eventually was bound to come to an end. Stop fighting and bow before us." It felt as if that voice alone could compel weaker individuals to unconditionally obey its every command.

“The Fuxi Celestial Race is defeated, there is not even a glimpse of hope left for you!" A lady’s sweet voice said, “From today onwards, there will be no more Fuxi. Swear your fealty, and you can continue living as the human race. We will not kill all of you…”

“The losers should bow before the winners, those who are defeated are in no place to negotiate. Bow down to us now!”

“Kneel!”

Many voices burst out from the high sky, “Heaven is kind and merciful, you will be spared from death! Lower your dignity and pride, kneel and you will survive. Are you all really going to fight to the bitter end?”

But no matter what words they spouted out, none of the Fuxi dignified it with a response. They all gritted their teeth and fought even harder in the battles.

“Then, I guess that leaves us with no choice. The Fuxi Clan will be wiped from existence."One of the voices sighed and said.

One after another, the Fuxi gods fell, and eventually, only a single Fuxi lady was left standing. She soon became surrounded by the enemies, and she soaked in the her enemies and of her own people.

“Kneel.”

The voice pressured on the lady again, “The 3,000 Six Paths Worlds have already been cleansed of Fuxi, you are the only one left. Kneel and we can let you go. This place will be yours to claim and you will spend the rest of your life in here. You are the last Fuxi alive, so we will let you live out your life with at least some dignity.”

The Fuxi lady raised her head and a contemptuous expression spread across her blood-stained face, she said, “In this world, no Fuxi will bend their knee! The only time we will do so is when we die fighting!”

Silence soon overcame the battlefield. Then, an indifferent voice said, “How stubborn, I don’t understand at all. Some of your allies have already sworn their loyalty to us. But you, why do you still persist? Is life not better than death, even if that life as one of subjugation?”

The words clearly struck a chord in her, she glared hatefully before bolting off into the sky. She was heading for the Six Paths Reincarnations and shot back loudly, “The Fuxi are never ones to bend the knee, the ones that do so … are not Fuxi!”

Puck!

“There goes the last Fuxi, what a pity." A finger was seen casually pointing at her head and along with a soft sound of explosion, her decapitated body fell from the sky.

The light wheels in sets of six shuddered, it was as many magnificent existences were shaking their heads.

A deep sigh resounded the sky and it said, “If she knelt and conceded, we could have had some fun toying her.”

“Now, with the death of the last Fuxi, we can all ease our hearts. Nature, bury the corpses and seal them away. That way, they wouldn’t be able to do anything anymore, even after death.”

The Six Paths Reincarnations faded away. While suddenly, Mother Da Zhen leaped out and shouted loudly, “There is another Fuxi here! Don’t go, there is another young Fuxi here!”

The clouds darkened and a huge face was lowered down from the sky. It was the same face Zhong Yue had seen more than once.

It was none other than Patriarch Nature.

“Huh? It’s this brat again!" Patriarch Nature’s face was filled with surprise as he stared inquisitively at Zhong Yue. He ignored Mother Da Zhen and said while smiling, It's you again, little one. I am surprised, how are you still alive after everything that happened? But well, that doesn’t matter much anymore, you will die here now!”

A huge hand fell from the sky and reached for him, but Zhong Yue was placid. He stood still and waited for the huge hand to come at him.

“Finally, I have seen everything now…" Zhong Yue mumbled.

As soon as he finished mumbling, a burst of light swallowed everything away.

“I have finally seen through the mysteries of this city," Zhong Yue raised his head and stood stil as he stared at the sky of the City of Nature.

Rays flashed across his eyes and a cold expression radiated across his face. A distance away from him, Mother Da Zhen was sent back as well. As soon as she noticed Zhong Yue just a distance away from her, she gave a shriek cry before bolting away in fear.

“Da Zhen, I must thank you." Zhong Yue murmured, “If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to see through the mysteries of this city. As my token of gratitude, I will let you live for a little longer, you will be able to bear witness to the mysteries are revealed…”
