“Feng Changyang, where have you brought yourself to?”
An ancient expert that had reincarnated into the Fuxi Celestial Race approached him and said, “You should know that this is the best result you can hope for. You represent the old power in the Fuxi Celestial Race and we represent the power that strives to eliminate Fuxi. The outcome has been fixed and both sides are on par and worn out. This time, through the outer power, you forced us into staying in this land with you, underneath the same heaven. This signifies the truce between both sides. There is no need to resist anymore.”
The clan master kept quiet and he continued abused alcohol depressedly.
“Hahahaha, the best scenario….” The clan master laughed mockingly like a madman.
“It is the best one.”
The ancient great presence looked at the clan master with pity and he said, “Feng Changyang, your last Fuxi Heavenly Monarch, Dao Venerate Fu Min was indeed an impressive one. He managed to injure that existence heavily and repelled him, forcing him to go into hiding for such a long time. He managed to obtain a thousand years for you Fuxi and in this period of time, you were born into this world.”
With mixed feeling, he added, “Fuxi Celestial Race’s remaining fate and fortune gave birth to you and your talent shook even the heavens and earth. But what a shame, the time Dao Venerate Fu Min acquired for you was too short. What can a thousand years do?”
Zhong Yue’s heart thumped as this Fuxi Celestial Race’s clan master was that man that turned the tides of war in the direst time as foretold by Dao Venerate Fu Min!
After Dao Venerate Fu Min injured that evil existence, he placed his hopes into the Fuxi talents that were born into the world and hoped that there will be one descendant that could stop the Fuxi Celestial Race’s descent.
However, Dao Venerate Fu Min also knew that a thousand years of time was far from enough and in fact, it was way too short.
“You want to turn the tables and save the once-powerful clan from annihilation. But little did you know that you were merely trying to shoulder the falling skies with your lone power. You were always destined to fail! You were born too late into this world. If and only if you were born into this world much earlier, you could have stood a chance. After that existence recovered from his injuries, he placed a curse onto your race and along with that, condemned the entire Fuxi Celestial Race to doom.”
The ancient great presence said slowly, “Your life has been a tough one these years. You have my admiration for being able to hold on for this long, but this is the best you can achieve. I hope you will stop resisting. We should really consider casting everything aside and live our remaining lives peacefully.”
“You’re telling me to set aside our vengeance?” replied the clan master emotionlessly.
“Come to think of it, you only have 80,000 years left to live… I hope you can find peace after this,” said the ancient great presence as he left.
Not long later, another ancient Fuxi arrived and said, “Feng Changyang, my old enemy. I respect you greatly for being able to grab onto the final chance of survival for Fuxi Celestial Race, securing the roots of Fuxi Celestial Race. Your capabilities far surpass the many self-proclaimed heroes out there. Though our ideologies conflict greatly, we both secured the Fuxi Celestial Race’s heritage.”
“Traitor!” said the clan master with a cold stare.
“Traitor? Are you not one?”
The Fuxi ancient great presence shook his head and said, “We are not traitors in my opinion. We merely stood on the right side in this war. I saw the annihilation of Fuxi Celestial Race coming long ago and all I did was plan for my future. Is it wrong of me to merely try to survive?”
He smirked and said, “Just like you, I want to stop the extinction of Fuxi Celestial Race so that when you and your stubborn people died in the war, the Fuxi Celestial Race will be preserve. Now, you’ve lost and we’ve won but even if you all died, we Fuxi Celestial Race will not. Am I wrong?”
The clan master said coldly, “You knelt, so you are not a Fuxi.”
The Fuxi ancient great presence burst out laughing and said, “Did you not kneel? You sought help from those old monsters and knelt before them to beg for a chance for the Fuxi Celestial Race to survive. You’ve knelt many more times than me!”
The clan master kept quiet in depression while the Fuxi ancient great presence shouted, “You knelt before someone just like we did! We may have killed a lot of our own people but that was because you were all too stubborn to give up. If you knelt much earlier, a lot of our people would still be alive! If we can stay alive by kneeling down, why should we stand up and face death?”
“80,000 years ago, when you all left for the Ancestral Star, it was I who exposed you and ambushed you, but so what? You are all so stubborn and too blind to see the consequence of resisting! You sought your own deaths and no one is to blame for that! Fortunately, there was me, I was the one that changed the tides of war. I killed them all to contribute to our race and with that, we remain who we are now! It was because of me that the Fuxi Celestial Race didn’t go extinct!”
The clan master bellowed in agony and he grabbed onto the Fuxi ancient great presence’s throat but the ancient great presence said fearlessly, “This unworldly land we live in now, it became ours because of you but it too, was here also because of us; those of us who you called traitors. Do you want to kill us? Do you think you will all still be alive after killing us all? They will definitely annihilate you all!”
The clan master loosen the strength in his hands and sat back down in despair while the Fuxi ancient great presence walked away, massaging his neck. “Don’t think so highly of yourself. You’ve knelt down and just like us, you are also a traitor.”
The depression in the clan master intensified and he spoke even less in front of anyone. Only when there was no one around would he speak to Zhong Yue and Yin Fanxuan but in the others’ views, he had gone mad entirely.
“You are still here?”
Softly, he said, “Why are you still here? Are you here to see how I destroy myself? You should leave now, this is not where you belong….”
Just like that, another few years passed and the clan master’s wife passed away due to the depression she suffered as a result of being insulted and cursed by her own people. After his wife passed away, only his son and himself remained. Soon enough, he had completely turned into an old man before his wife’s grave.
“You’re still here? The souls from future?”
He said to Zhong Yue and Yin Fanxuan, “Perhaps, both of you are the only friends I have left….”
His son slowly grew up but this child did not have a nice childhood like the others as he was alienated by everyone.
“Father, they say that I am a traitor,” cried the boy as he was beaten up badly.
“You’re not, you really aren’t.”
He said to his son, “I will try to get you a Fuxi identity and have you live proudly! Give me some time, just a little bit more time….”
Zhong Yue and Yin Fanxuan looked at the clan master as he dove into studying Dao arts and techniques in an attempt to remove the seals in their bloodline.
But this was a difficult path to walk on.
And he found nothing and he couldn’t guarantee anything.
After his son was once again beaten up badly, he decided to give up.
At this time, his second younger brother returned and he did not find Xin Huo.
“The flame of inheritance is gone,” said his younger brother.
“I am planning something and I need your help.”
The clan master then discussed with his younger brother about something secretly that even Zhong Yue and Yin Fanxuan couldn’t hear.
“The souls that came with me from the future, I am now going to do something impossible. We might not be able to talk to each other anymore, to be precise, you don’t have to deal with my nonsense anymore. I am old now. No, in fact, I am at my peak form right now and I can still fight!”
He said, “I do not know if you are foe or ally and I do not know what I’m going to do is right or wrong. Perhaps teaching you my knowledge is a mistake, perhaps, it could be the right thing to do. Either way, things can’t get any worse, no?”
Then, right before Zhong Yue and Yin Fanxuan, he demonstrated his knowledge acquired throughout his life without holding back; everything he learned, understood, and created were all shown to Zhong Yue and Yin Fanxuan clearly.
But to the others, he was talking to the air, explaining his techniques and arts.
As he listened to the clan master, Zhong Yue could tell that the clan master’s techniques and arts were all created by his ancestors but some were lost heritage and some were partly gone. He did not receive a complete heritage but through his intelligence, he managed to fill up the holes in the heritage he received.
After quite some time, he finally taught everything to the duo. He hesitated and said, “Maybe, I should teach you some of my more incomplete techniques. Perhaps you can help me to perfect it.”
He then performed the [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture], which was slightly more complicated than the one Xin Huo taught to Zhong Yue; it had other wonders that Xin Huo’s [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture] did not possess.
He then explained the theory, ideas and how the [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture] worked over and over again as if he was afraid that the duo could not comprehend.
“This might be the only way to defeat the evil presence once you return to the independent pocket world he belongs to. I could neither defeat him nor complete this art but maybe, the Fuxi descendant will.”
He then transmitted everything he knew to his son before he patted the child’s little head and said with a happy and lovely smile, “From now on, you are a Fuxi, a proud Fuxi that will stand up straight against all challenges!”
The clan master burst out laughing and when the darkness fade and the sun shined back on, he raised his head; the white hair vanished and was replaced by black hair as if the clan master returned to his peak state and turned back to that God of War he once was!
“Kill!”
He roared and unleashed his strength without holding back, claiming the Fuxi Celestial Race’s proud presence back and he pointed his sword at those ancient great presences living in the unworldly world.
“Feng Changyang has gone mad!”
The ancient great presences were furious but they were also caught off guard. This was a chaos and those residing here were all Fuxi; they were either strong presences that have reincarnated into the Fuxi Celestial Race or traitor Fuxi with great power; there were even two of them that stepped foot in the Imperial Emperor level.
The Fuxi era’s last monarch started a massacre; beheaded bodies fell onto the ground, their Yuan Shen were sliced apart and dispersed instantly while the man showered himself in his enemies’ blood. The ancient great presences broke down and after they ran away, they immediately requested assistance from those old monsters in the Zi Wei Heavens.
His slaughter continued towards the outside of the unworldly world and when Feng Changyang looked up, terrifying figures started emerging from the shadows behind the cloud, pressuring the atmosphere so hard that even ripples stopped forming in the Heavenly River.
Among them, there was this era’s monarch—Heavenly Monarch Tian Yuan, and even some of the ancient beings. The Heavenly Monarch-leveled presences started pressuring the surrounding and trapped Feng Changyang in the center.
“Kill!
With an angry roar, he raised his sword and ascended into the skies, which signified the outbreak of a monarch-level battle. The intensity of this battle was something Zhong Yue had not seen before; one after another, ancient monarch-level existences fought fiercely against Feng Changyang but they were all injured by him, dying the skies and river red with their blood.
The man fought with every bit of strength he had; after beheading an enemy, he lifted up the head with his sword and spat a Heavenly River towards it, destroying the Yuan Shen and soul within it.
However, as time passed, injuries starting to crawl onto his body as his enemies were endless.
“Come out! Fight with me!”
The mad Feng Changyang forced Heavenly Monarch Tian Yuan and the others away before he shouted at the skies. As he shouted crazily, Heavenly Monarch Tian Yuan and the other ancient beings looked at him coldly as they all could tell that the man has reached his end and he would not keep this up any longer.
At the same time, someone flew out of the unworldly world. Feng Changyang turned around and welcomed the figure with his arms open as he shouted, “Second younger brother, come! Fight by my side and let us kill them all!”
Che—
A sword ray pierced through his chest and nailed him into the Heavenly River.
His second younger brother maintained an expressionless face and after he pulled the sword out from Feng Changyang’s chest and watched as his birth brother fell onto the ground.
Second younger brother, I’m sorry for putting you through all of this….
His second younger brother’s eyes were sallow and empty as the younger brother swung the sword towards his elder brother’s head.
“No—!!!”
Zhong Yue plunged forward and grabbed towards the sword while Yin Fanxuan dragged him backwards with her full strength and said nervously, “No! If you try to change the past, we will both be repelled by the time….”
“No….”
Just as Zhong Yue’s palm touched the sword, the power of time surged towards them and tried to correct the time flow by sending the duo back to the time flow where they belonged.
At the same time, Feng Changyang looked towards Zhong Yue and he smiled upon seeing Zhong Yue’s face.
In the others’ eyes, the man pushed his palm towards the air where there was nothing but Zhong Yue, the palm was pushing towards him, sending him and Yin Fanxuan away and preventing them from being harmed by the power of time.
“Younger brother, remember this face! He will be looking for you in the future!”
After saying this, his head flew into the air while his corpse landed his palm right onto his second younger brother’s chest and sent him flying away.
My son… You can now become a real Fuxi….
With that, his body fell into the Heavenly River.
