Chapter 1084 - Heavens Origin (1/2)
“I see.”
The lady was none other than Si Ming and she suddenly exclaimed in surprise, “So that Xuan Ji is Heaven’s disciple. No wonder you wanted him to wait for two months before the duel.”
Gu Yue was shocked, he couldn’t help but question, “How did you know?”
Si Ming rolled her eyes coquettishly at him and chortled, “I know because I am also there, I was just right beside you. But because you’ve called for me, I’ve returned to see you.”
“Right beside me? Who were you disguising as this time?”
In the Heaven Breaching Fortress, Zhong Yue’s body quivered, he abruptly opened his eyes and glanced around to search for Si Ming’s presence.
“Spare the effort, I’ve come back already. What’s left there is just an incarnation.”
In the Dao Yin Six Paths World, Si Ming smiled, “The seventh secret realm, the Seven Paths Reincarnation, the General Assembly of Future Monarchs, do you really think I would miss out on them? But I’m disappointed that you didn’t send me an invitation. I thought we were clansmen. You need to reimburse me for this. I want all your attainments in the seventh secret realm and Seven Paths Reincarnation, only then will I send you to Zi Wei.”
Gu Yue was frank, he laughed, “All my attainments in the seventh secret realm and Seven Paths Reincarnation came from our Fuxi’s Ancestral Court. You are also a Fuxi, of course you deserve a share of what was in the Ancestral Court.”
His psyche rumbled and imparted everything he learned from the Ancestral Court to Si Ming, he said, “Opening the seventh secret realm requires a monarch to help in suppressing the secret realms. Do you have the confidence to do it? If it’s too dangerous, I can have Crown Prince Fu Shang help you.”
Si Ming’s face darkened right away as soon as she heard Fu Shang’s name, she declined, “No need. With your attainments in the seventh secret realm and Seven Paths Reincarnation, I will be able to open it myself. I don’t need a sinner’s help!”
“Do you have any saint herb?” Gu Yue asked.
“Not many, but I still have a few. With the Six Paths Tian Lun in my hands, I can appear anywhere in this universe. And so, I’ve acquired a few saint herbs.” Si Ming replied.
Then she said, “Heaven’s disciple is incredibly strong. Even I may not be his match, let alone you. Your chances of winning are low, most probably, you will be defeated! After your defeat, do you plan to impart him the ancestor’s knowledge?”
Gu Yue asked, “Do you have any ways I can win?”
“No, but I have ways for you to not be defeated.” Si Ming said, “What exactly is Heaven? In truth, Heaven’s birth is closely related to our Fuxi ancestors.”
Gu Yue listened carefully as Si Ming explained, “Our Fuxi Clan originated from the Yanzi Clan’s grand ancestor, the first Sui Sovereign, Great Sui. His title of ‘Great’ was given by the postnate living beings and innate gods as a form of respect and reverence to him. This is a title that no one else ever had, including every past and present Heavenly Monarch. Even the Fuxi Clan’s grand ancestor and the first Earthly Sovereign, and Dao Venerate Fu Min didn’t have the prestige to hold the title of ‘Great’. The title ‘Great’ represented his greatness. His creation of the totem cultivation system cemented the rise of the postnatal living beings to a level equal to the innate gods, even replacing the innate gods as the rulers of the universe. This was the greatest deed he had done, but that was not all of it.”
“Adding one more line above the word ‘Great’, comes the word ‘Heaven’!”
“Great Sui discovered the Heavenly Daos and with it, the concept of heaven began to spread among the living beings. From then onwards, heaven became the highest and mightiest concept, it represented the living beings’ respect toward the many unknowns in life. Because it represented the unknown, it could be limitlessly powerful, so much so that it could surpass even gods.”
Si Ming said placidly, “The Fire Order Era lasted more than 400,000 years, followed by some 300,000 years of total chaos, then to the Earth Order Era’s reign of 830,000 years, 10,000 years of war between the transition to the current 90,000 years of God Order Era. Time could be traced back to a total of nearly 1,700,000 years ago. Over all these years, even Great Sui’s Yanzi Clan was annihilated, extinct without anyone else worshipping them anymore. Even our Fuxi Clan almost went into extinction. But the worships toward heaven never stopped, not for a single day. Eventually, roughly 100,000 years ago, the strongest innate god that had ever existed in history was born. Such was the birth of Heaven.”
Gu Yue was startled, Heaven was an innate god born from the living beings’ worships?
“His birth was the perfect existence in every living beings’ imaginations.”
Si Ming continued, “He was omniscent and omnipotent. From birth, he was already a Dao God. One can say that Great Sui created Heaven, a being that rode above all living beings and gods. But when Heaven was born, there were already some other existences that were stronger than him, the Dao Gods. Especially the strongest of that era, the Heavenly Monarch who held the title of ‘Dao Venerate’, whose depth of power was unknown. When he was alive, the title of ‘Heavenly Monarch’ meant ‘The monarch of all heavens’, the Heaven’s Monarch! But fortunately for Heaven, Dao Venerate has aged, he is near the end of his time. After his death, there will be no more Heaven’s Monarch, but only Heaven’s Son.”
Gu Yue suddenly interrupted, “How did you come to know all this? Si Ming, who is behind you?”
Si Ming smiled coquettishly, she stuck her tongue out like a little girl and said, “I’m not telling you.”
Gu Yue could feel his scalp tingled. This lady was just like how Xin Huo had described, she had no sense of humanity. Yet now, for her to act like this, there must be something she was going to ask from him!
“You haven’t told me how to deal with Heaven’s disciple!” Zhong Yue hurried.
Si Ming smiled, “My plan can help you remain undefeated, not to win. It’s nearly impossible to do it if you want to defeat him! But in order for me to teach you, you have to answer to one of my requests. Don’t worry, it’s very simple, easily done.”
Gu Yue’s expression turned cold as he said, “I’ve just imparted you with Dao Venerate Fu Min’s heritage, and now you are asking for more?”
