Chapter 608 - The World of Mortals (1/2)
"Mount Tai?" Zhong Yue startled for a moment before he praised, "What a good name."
Shi Buyi turned around and looked at the now Mount Tai with complicated thoughts, T his brat even changed the name of our monster race's glorious Black Mountain! But, this is no big deal as the monster race will surely be able to triumph over the human race in the future. We will dominate this world, and by then, we can still change the mountain's name back to Black Mountain!
The three of them returned to Swords Gate, while the blood rain still hasn't stopped.
It took another ten days for the blood rain to stop; while in this ten days, Zhong Yue has recovered his lost prowess. Then, he used the next three months to sort and arrang all of the arts and techniques, skills and knowledge he learned, and left them behind for Swords Gate.
"It's time." Zhong Yue mumbled.
He summoned Xuan Yuan over and asked, "After I leave, what will you do if there are enemies trying to invade the human territory?"
Xuan Yuan answered, "I will educate the people, and teach them the cultivations. That way, the number of Qi Practitioners will grow exponentially, and we will be strong enough to ward off the invaders on our own."
"Then, what if your opponents are the gods?"
Xuan Yuan mulled for a second before saying, "If it happens within the next tens of years, I will ask for help from the Western Mother Empress. However, if it happens a few tens of years later, the Swords Gate will already have many gods, including myself. We will be strong enough to even rule the world."
Zhong Yue laughed, "You still have a competitor if you want to rule the world. I have cleansed the West Barren celestial race, but the Eight Barren demon race is untouched. The demon race is located across the sea, the totality of their powers are not much affected, and they have also many talents. Someone will be able to stand against you."
"Uncle Zhong, what am I afraid of when I have this divine sword with me?"
Zhong Yue shook, "What if one day Nong Sovereign is no longer here to help? Then, you will have to wield the Xuan Yuan Sword solely on your own, and that won't be enough for you to defeat the demons!"
Xuan Yuan frowned and asked curiously, "Then why didn't Uncle Zhong cleansed the demon race as well?"
Zhong Yue sighed, he pointed at his white hair as he replied, "I have done far too much for the human race. I couldn't even remember how many lives have I killed, or how many things I have done, and I am now left with only just a few hundred years to live. Do you want me to die here?"
Xuan Yuan quickly said, "No uncle, I don't want that!"
"A metal that is not forged will never be a weapon good enough to kill; I have left behind the demon race so that you and the others can ascend into the deityhood. Look at you now, if all you ever knew of was to rely on the power of the Xuan Yuan Sword or helpers from the outside, you will never be able to become a god anymore. I cannot stay in the Ancestral Star, or you will never be a god; I cannot eradicate the demon race as well, or you will also never be a god. If I had taken out all the enemies in the Ancestral Star, the human race will never be able to grow stronger than ever. You will have to learn to rely on your own prowess, the humans will have to learn to rely on their own; to overcome the hardships, and to triumph over our enemies!"
Xuan Yuan quickly nodded.
Then, Zhong Yue asked again, "There are ten Sun Innate Spirits in the Ancestral Star now; when I'm here, they will never dare to come out and stir troubles. But after I leave, how will you handle them?"
"I am a few years earlier in cultivation and is stronger than them, even after Uncle Zhong has left, they will still have to bow before me. They will never be able to stir any troubles as long as I am here."
Zhong Yue nodded, he asked again, "Then what after you've left?"
"After I've left?" Xuan Yuan was stunned, he asked puzzlingly, "Where will I be going?"
Zhong Yue took out a piece of godly wood, he surged his psyche and carved it into an incense stick engraved with marvelous totem patterns. He handed it over to Xuan Yuan and said, "The day you become a god, ruled the world and bring peace upon this land, you will burn this incense stick and I will bring out away from the Ancestral Star."
Xuan Yuan quickly kept the incense stick, he smiled and replied, "Before I leave, I will pick a successor strong enough to suppress the ten Sun Innate Spirits."
Zhong Yue shooks his head and said, "Can your successor really suppress them? The Sun Innate Spirit Body is the strongest innate spirit body, it is even stronger than your Earth Innate Spirit Body. The ten of them will become incredibly powerful! Your successor will not be stronger than you when you leave, surely they will rise against him."
Xuan Yuan pondered deeply, while Zhong Yue shook his head and took out a bow with ten arrows, he said, "This is the divine bow left behind by Zhu Jiumu, I have forged the moon core into it and added the totem patterns specifically against the Sun Innate Spirits, while this ten arrows are made from the Sui Tree's tree branches. You will continue nurturing the arrows and bow stronger, and pass it over to your successor before you leave. If the Sun Innate Spirits made any troubles, shoot them down with the arrows.
Xuan Yuan quickly kept the bow and arrows, and thanked Zhong Yue.
...
A thousand years later, the human race and demon race both became the two strongest race in the Ancestral Star. The strongest demon god, Chi You, led a total of 81 experts, including his brothers and the demon race eight grand ancestors, waged a gory war against the human race as to conquer the Ancestral Star.
The human leader Xuan Yuan fought back with the humans and monsters under his command. Ying Dragon Long Yue, Teacher Rain Shui Zian, Great Goose Gu Hongzi, and the others have also participated in the war, and they were recorded in the history of mankind as the legendary figures.
Then, the Kun Lun gods also left their names in the historical records. Huang She God and Kua Fuding allied with Chi You's army, while Zhong Yue's demon incarnation, Bo Xun has also led many experts in the war.
The Ying Dragon killed Chi You, while Kua Fuding and Huang She God chased after Bo Xun. Bo Xun morphed into the form of a sun, and flew to the west where Ying Long was silently waiting to ambush Kua Fuding and Huang She God.
It was recorded into what the renowned <Classic of Mountains and Seas> has stated, Across the land of mortals, a giant named Kua Fu held a yellow snake with two heads, and he chased after the unreacheable sun. Lakes and rivers were drained as the giant drank them away, but not even the gushing Yellow River could quench his thirst for water. Died of dehydration, the giant couldn't last long enough before reaching to the next water source far in the west.
After the war, the human race has ascended as the ruler of the world, and Xuan Yuan enthroned as the Yellow Emperor.
