Chapter 777 - Human Fu Li (1/2)
The Starry Road to Heavens was composed of many ancient teleportation formations, each of which were a few hundred galaxies apart.
It was then only Zhong Yue that knew that the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds he saw weren't the whole universe, but instead, just a small part of it. The universe itself was countless times bigger than the whole of the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds, but when compared to the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds, the other parts of the universe were barren and desolate.
But it wasn't too surprising either, after all, with the emergence of the Six Paths Reincarnations, a majority of the living beings were more than willing to migrate to the Six Paths Worlds in hopes of extending their lives. In stark contrast, the ancient universe didn't have the Six Paths Reincarnations, leaving the ones that still lived there with comparatively shorter lifespans.
Zhong Yue and Jiang Yiqi boarded a teleportation formation that was built on a stage. Although, instead of referring to it as a stage, the teleportation formation was, in fact, built on top of an ancient city in the ancient universe.
It was built from a star, but sliced into half by an unknown expert. The ancient city was built on the flat surface and from afar, the city appeared to be incredibly grand and solemn.
That expert even captured a sun and moon and made them orbit around the city, giving way to the creation of mountains and rivers and every other natural phenomenon.
On the city walls were countless deep battle marks.
"Strange, this is the Starry Road, why would there be marks of battles?" Zhong Yue asked curiously.
Jiang Yiqi shook and reply, "As long as there are people, there will be conflict. Wars aren't uncommon here, let alone a place that has the strategic value that the Starry Road to Heavens does.
When the two arrived at the ancient city, there were a million gods standing on guard vigilantly; clearly, the Zi Wei Galaxy's higher-ups valued the city greatly.
So many gods, who are they guarding against?
Zhong Yue was puzzled, with the universe now united and ruled by the Heavenly Monarch. No matter the celestial races or demon races, all had bowed upon the Heavenly Monarch's rulings; unless, they would like to throw their lives away or be imprisoned in the Prison Realms' Abyss for the rest of their lives.
In an era like this, there was simply no reason for a million gods to stand guard for just one teleportation formation of the whole Starry Road to Heavens.
Hence, there was only one explanation for this - outside of the Zi Wei Imperial Star's ruling system, there were still some other threats to the supreme ruler's governance; otherwise, there would be no need for them to do all of this.
"There are forces in the ancient universe that refused to lower their heads to the rulers. There are also some powerful experts that thought the races under the Zi Wei Imperial Star's governance had defied their nature. The celestials and demons never lived harmoniously. Those that did were regarded as traitors."
Jiang Yiqi explained, "These forces upheld the nature of their races, they look down upon those in the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds and they are extremely dangerous. That's why the million gods are stationed here, to guard against them."
"Doesn't the Zi Wei Heavenly Monarch try to exterminate them as well?" Zhong Yue asked.
"The ancient universe is far too huge to be fully conquered. Plus, there are also many hidden innate gods living in the ancient universe, they are presences that even the Heavenly Monarch doesn't want to interfere with."
Then, the duo boarded the teleportation formation and left for the next destination, while he continued, "Other than them, there are also many powerful gods who have offended the Rules of Heaven and escaped to seek refuge in the ancient universe."
Then, he hesitated for a second and said, "Rumors said that there was also a contingent of Fuxi clansmen that sought refuge in the ancient universe a long time ago; but it is unknown if they still exist now."
Zhong Yue shook his head, those that have escaped from the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds were most likely all gone. The evil experts' curse would progressively seal the Fuxi's blood generation after generation until their bloodline power became completely sealed.
There was no place for the Fuxi to live, no matter where they were.
But then, how did Si Ming become a pureblood Fuxi ? Zhong Yue's mind questioned.
It was impossible for a pureblood Fuxi to be born anymore, whereas to create one from a human's sealed bloodline, Zhong Yue knew just exactly how difficult it was.
But if so, how and where did Si Ming become a pureblood Fuxi?
It was half a year's time later when they boarded the second teleportation formation. They were now already in the deeper parts of the ancient universe, far from the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds.
Here, the gods that were stationed around the teleportation formation were much stronger than those they had come across previously. From Zhong Yue's crude estimation, there were more than a few tens of Deity Emperors!
The city walls here were higher, broader, and filled with more than countless battle marks on them. One could just tell how grueling and bloodshed the battles were.
Clearly, the gods in the ancient universe were much stronger, to be able to inflict this kind of damage, but the Zi Wei gods managed to hold the city walls.
Another half a year's time later, they reached the third teleportation formation. Zhong Yue saw there were heads that hung above the city walls, they were still fresh and dripping blood from the decapitated necks.
Then, there were also many gods seen repairing the city walls, patching the holes and strengthening the walls' integrity while the other gods were moving the corpses away from the battlefield. Some of these corpses were even buried inside the city walls, using the gods' strong mortal body and divine blood to enhance the strength of the walls.
"There are Deity Emperors among the dead!" Zhong Yue's heart palpitated in shock to see even see dead Deity Emperors!
"Normal." Jiang Yiqi shook, "It is common here for the gods, nothing extraordinary. Let's make haste, we still have a long way to go."
