Chapter 744 - Dao Guardian (1/2)

The next leader of humanity?

God of Sun from Zi Wei Galaxy?

This elder was obviously a human and held the position of God of Sun in Zi Wei Galaxy, which was obviously not a low position!

In the Zi Wei Galaxy, humans had no standing and were constantly being monitored. Realm Monarch Bo Luo even said that the higher-ups in the Zi Wei Galaxy were extremely wary of the humans; if they heard of any talented human, they would immediately kill or imprison that human!

He is the next leader of humanity, the one who will replace the current Human Sovereign as the new one, how did he manage to climb to such a high position?

And that was why Zhong Yue was shocked.

The observant Jiang Yiqi immediately realize Zhong Yue's confusion and said, "The only reason I managed to become the God of Sun was that I am not a pureblood human. I am mixed-blood of three races, the Zhong Li, Lei Zhe, and human. Don't be so suspicious and shocked, Fuxi, there are a lot of humans in the Zi Wei Galaxy. They would often marry those of the other races. This is a strategy from Nong Sovereign to help preserve talents for the humans."

The old clan master laughed and added, "Brother Zhong, this is Jiang Yiqi, another person who is greatly related to our Leizhe Celestial Race. He is the next Human Sovereign chosen by Nong Sovereign. He will be called Yan Sovereign after he becomes the Human Sovereign."

"I see." said Zhong Yue as he wiped his worries away.

Jiang Yiqi on the other side was quite excited and as he walked around everywhere, he said, "Fuxi! Another Fuxi with great talent! This is a sign of the rise of humanity! Fuxi, can this old man make a request?"

Zhong Yue immediately turned serious and asked, "Please."

"To be frank, though I was chosen as the next Human Sovereign, it is actually just a temporary band-aid to the devastating wound. As someone not as good as Nong Sovereign, I cannot pull off anything extraordinary except for maintaining what was already built by him. He had selected another successor to inherit his heritage and this young boy is now currently in the Ancestral Star! He is an impressive one, Nong Sovereign had awakened the Lei Zhe bloodline in him and taught him the sovereign's own arts and skills. This human inheritor is called Gongsun Xuan Yuan!" said Jiang Yiqi.

"His ancestor was from the direct bloodline to the Nong Sovereign. He was sent to Ancestral Star to culture the humans so that we can have a land to live on peacefully. Xuan Yuan is a talented child and he will grow into a significant figure in the future. Nong Sovereign had decided to nurture this young boy as a future Heavenly Monarch for the future of humanity! However, we humans are generally weak in terms of everything. Zi Wei Galaxy and the 3,000 Six Path Worlds are extremely harsh towards the humans and they would do anything to kill any talented humans!"

Jiang Yiqi let out a long breath and said, "But Nong Sovereign's time is gravely limited now and I am getting old as well. Hence, I would like to request you, Fuxi, to become the guardian of the future human's Heavenly Monarch and safeguard him and aid in his growth! With your talent, you can surely guarantee his safety so that he would grow into someone that will be of great help for humanity."

Zhong Yue's mind went blank upon hearing this request and he suddenly felt extremely bitter.

The guardian of Gongsun Xuan Yuan.

He felt sour and bitter; he had been working so hard all the while, putting his life on the line every time when he faced off with the many strong foes, surrounded by enemies like hungry wolves and the evil existence that destroyed and sealed Fuxi Celestial Race, fought through every dire situation alone for a brighter future for the humans and searched for a way to lift the seals on the humans.

The path he walked on was a dark one with dangers lurking around and all he had was a weathered bronze lamp, a lamp fire that was not burning bright at all.

But when did he ever falter?

He yearned for acknowledgment, for praise and recognition and he supposed his request did not even cross the line, not even the slightest.

And now, Nong Sovereign and the future Yan Sovereign wanted him to become Gongsun Xuan Yuan's guardian.

Suddenly, Zhong Yue smiled self-deprecatingly and thought, Can't believe I got jealous of Xuan Yuan. He is half my disciple, my junior and I'm the one that watched him grow and built the path for him. How can I be jealous of him?

What was his clone, Bo Xun and Long Yue staying back in Ancestral Star and Kun Lun for? What did he aim for?

Was it not because he wanted to guarantee the safety of humanity and take care of Xuan Yuan so that he could grow?

That was his wish.

Besides, Nong Sovereign was fond of Xuan Yuan and recognized that he would become a future Heavenly Monarch. If that happened, it was something good for both Xuan Yuan and the humans.

As soon as he thought of this, his sourness and bitterness vanished and he said, "Don't worry, I will guarantee his safety no matter the cost!"

Jiang Yiqi became extremely happy and he said, "With your word, I can now be at ease! I mustn't stay any longer, I have to bring this good news back to Nong Sovereign and he will be happy for sure to hear about you. By the way, The Realm Monarch Lei Zhe is a traitor and a scum. He had an army surround Lei Zhe Galaxy and if anyone other than me walks out from this place, this person will be seized. Do you need me to help you?"

Zhong Yue, however, shook his head and said, "Yan Sovereign, don't worry about me. Those puny soldiers can't possibly think they could catch me."

Jiang Yiqi was skeptical about this but in the end, he still got up and left as he thought, With the help of the old clan master, I certainly have no need to worry about him!

Zhong Yue and the old clan master sent Jiang Yiqi off and the old clan master sighed and said, "The awakened bloodline in you is still too little, which is why you stopped at the 48th level. If you had fully awakened your bloodline, you probably will be the same as the Fuxi girl, breaching through the entire Ancient Lei Zhe Realm."

Zhong Yue had a shock and he said, "The entire realm?"

The old clan master nodded, "That she did. The girl is a true genius. She managed to harvest the Innate Lei Zhe Dao Fruit but what a shame, she's a girl and someone with excessive killing intent."

"Old clan master, can I have another chance? I wish to try again."

The old clan master was confused and he asked, "Are you not planning to cultivate Pure Yang Yuan Shen and become a god?"
