552: The Good Dies Early and the Scourge Live For A Millennium

The Good Dies Early and the Scourge Live For A Millennium

Outside of the Swords Gate Mountain, the seven gods were all piqued in the anger. It seemed to them that the human race have no such realization as their food. The disobedience of these livestock and the revolt against them in the past was already an unbearable experience for the many races.

While now, a mere human who wasn't even a god has publicly voiced its opinion of making them the livestock to the their livestock. This was way too absurd, how outrageously dumb was the humans!

"Zhong Shan Clan member, I was still having a little compassion on you before this. But your words have just proved yourself unworthy of any compassions.", Xia Que, the Martial Divine Master of the South Barren said, "The eight of us were still helping you humans during the peace talk, that's how your insect divine weapons are able to still be left in Swords Gate. But it seems like we have made a wrong choice, I can't help but to wonder if you human race can really protect these insect divine weapons. To prevent the insect divine weapons falling back in the hands of the insect race again, I now suggest you to hand it out to us for a better safe keeping."

The whole Swords Gate was in clamor, these insect divine weapons were brought back with Zhong Yue's blood and hard work. He has killed many and escaped death for numerous times just for these insect divine weapons!

Yet, after the gods have sold him out in the settlement with the insect race, they were now even trying to snatch away Zhong Yue's hard work!

"Acting headmaster! I'd rather die than to see that happen! Let us fight against them!", Elder Lei Shan hollered in a deep voice as he tried as much as possible to press down his anger.

But Zhong Yue did not respond to his call.

The demon god of the Asura Saint Clan flicked his finger in the blank air and the protective array formation around Swords Gate formed by the Four Symbol Banners have shuddered violently. He then said, "Zhong Shan Clan member, walk out on your own. Don't have any extravagant hope that the human race can protect you. Either you walk out on yourself and follow us away, or… they can die first and then you will be taken away with us. You choose."

"Give me some time.", Zhong Yue saw the Four Symbol Banners array formation shuddering, his heart throbbed and he gave his answer in a placid tone.

The gods were too strong, even when the Swords Gate Mountain was closely secured by the array formations and human experts, it was still too fragile in the face of the goods. The Four Banners array formation was already the strongest defensive means they have in Swords Gate, and yet, a single flick of finger from the demon god was strong enough to shudder it violently.

That has allowed Zhong Yue to clearly see the difference in power between Swords Gate and the gods.

"Elder Zhong, are you really…", Shui Zian was seen gritting his teeth as he said, "We will fight to the end, even if that means death!"

Zhong Yue shook his head, "To ask all of the Great Wilderness humans and Swords Gate disciples to die with me? I am not an emperor, even if I am, I wouldn't still. Grand elder, I have left the teleportation array formation on the moon, it links directly to Swords Gate Golden Summit. Pass the words to Headmaster Jun and Senior Martial Brother Fang to come back quickly."

Shui Zian's heart shuddered, he knew Zhong Yue has made his decision. He mumbled softly, "We have little Xuan Yuan's divine sword, we might not lose if we fight!"

"No, we will.", Zhong Yue shook his head again, "They have brought their saint weapons precisely for that divine sword. So long the saint weapons are able to stall the divine sword for a few moments, Swords Gate will suffer gravely in the hands of the gods. We have no chance of winning at all.

"Grand elder, I have left a Yuan Shen secret realms in the Golden Summit, in it, there is a mirror, a treasure I left behind for Swords Gate. With the mirror, Swords Gate will be able to have a few gods within a hundred years of time."

Zhong Yue's voice turned low and soft, "Senior Martial Brother Gu Hongzi, little Xuan Yuan, Headmaster Jun, Junior Martial Sister Jin'er, Senior Martial Brother Fang Jiange, Jie, Wang Hai, Li Mu and the others, they have the potential to ascend into deityhood. While even though your potential is mostly used up, the mirror can help you in amending your past flaws and thus, granting you with a slight chance to ascend. We humans are showing signs of rising, I cannot sabotage it because of myself!"

Shui Zian was silent. Swords Gate doesn't have a god with them, without the gods, they would have to endure whatever troubles that were brought onto them.

If there was a human god in Swords Gate, this wouldn't had happened at all!

Zhong Yue continued, "Humans are not idiots, our talents are as strong as the other races. All we are lacking is time. If I never return from this, tell Headmaster Jun to gather back the forces as much as possible, go into defensive and stay low until the time is right. A hundred years at the most, little Xuan Yuan will surely be able to ascend into deityhood within a hundred years. That time, the humans can rise and expand our territory once again, also avenging me!"

Shui Zian nodded softly, he forced a wry smile out on his face, "And if you made it back?"

A loud laughter came from the young man while he said in pride, "Then I will avenge myself! Ten years or at the most twenty years, I will storm on the gods of the Ancestral Star!"

The young man strode out while laughing, "Grand elder, elders and my fellow Swords Gate disciples, don't worry. The good dies early and the scourge live for a millennium, wasn't I called the Disaster Zhong? You never know, I might just be able to make it back alive!"

His voice was low yet powerful, filled with confidence. He strode out from Swords Gate Mountain and waved farewell to his people. At that instant, the whole Great Wilderness was in dead silence, no a single man made a sound.

Zhong Yue suddenly gave a bright smile, he walked to the side of the gods and shouted abruptly, "Zhu Jiumu, Senior Jiumu! Do you still remember that you promised me that you will fulfill a request for me?"

The Zhu Jian god, Zhu Jiumu didn't appear with the other seven gods because he felt sorry for not being able to help. But even so, he was still here, just not showing himself.

As soon as Zhong Yue spoke, Zhu Jiumu's voice has trembled the sky, he said, "Little Friend Zhong, say your request, I will do my best in fulfilling it!"

Zhong Yue shouted back loudly, "I want Senior Jiumu to protect the divine weapons of Swords Gate to remain in our hands, no one else shall have them other than Great Wilderness Swords Gate!"

Zhu Jiumu was silent for a few seconds, then he said, "The Zhong Shan Clan member has destroyed the insect planet and annihilated the insect race, he has stopped the invasion plan of the insect race and done great deeds to the Ancestral Star. These divine weapons are his and his alone, I hereby, swear that I will protect the divine weapons and ensure them to remain in his people."

Those words weren't meant for Zhong Yue, they were meant for the other seven gods.

With Zhu Jiumu publicly announcing his stand, Zhong Yue has eased his heart and walked to the front of the seven gods. He smiled and said, "I am ready."

The seven gods exchanged a look, the Bi Fang goddess then laughed and said, "Little brat, it's a real surprise you can get in touch with Senior Martial Brother Jiumu and actually asked him to protect Swords Gate for you. How incredible, but what a pity you are still going to die…"

Zhong Yue smiled and answered, "The good dies early and the scourge live for a millennium… Oh, Bi Fang goddess, don't misunderstand my words, I'm not talking about you."

Bi Fang goddess's face changed for a second as he spoke, but was relieved right after when she heard that he wasn't referring to her. Then, she forced a smile onto his face.

"I am saying that, all of you here,", Zhong Yue smiled as he continued, "…are scourges."

"You!"

The seven gods were all piqued in anger. Suddenly, Bi Fang goddess rolled her eyes and said while smiling, "Who are we, gods. There is no need for us to be angry because of a dying man. Let him be, the insect gods want him and it's no good we deliver a dead man to our friendly affiliates."

The other six gods nodded and agreed, "True, it's not good to make him a dead man now. Let's go, to the insect race."

"I wonder how the insect gods will treat him."

...

...

Soon after, the seven gods have brought him to the territory of the insect race. It was quite a good place to be honest, it was over a hundred thousand miles in length and width, filled with forests and tall woods.

The twelve insect race gods have built five temples within the woods, one each for the five mother gods. In the hierarchy of the insect race gods, the insect gods were placed on a lower status than the mother gods, they weren't allowed to have a temple of their own and could only act as the mother gods' guardians and mating partners.

Xia Que, Bi Fang goddess and the other Ancestral Star gods have arrived at the Da Zhen Temple. The statue in front of the temple was of an insect, the wall arts and engravings were also filled with the images of the bizarre insects.

There, in the temple, Mother Da Zhen has led the other insect gods and mother gods waiting for their parcel to be delivered. The Ancestral Star gods and the insect race gods greeted one another and sat down respectively.

They were all shrouded in godly rays, solemn and saintly in air.

Even the insect race gods now appeared to be just as saintly as the Ancestral Star gods, there weren't any nefarious or wicked aura around them.

Zhong Yue was left to stand in the middle of the temple where he was centered between the insect race gods and Ancestral Star gods. The gods were looking tall and mighty, all being a hundred thousand feet tall in height.

"Mother Da Zhen, what will you do to the Zhong Shan Clan member?", the demon god from the Asura Saint Clan asked.

Mother Da Zhen was incredibly beautiful, she looked more like a beauty rather than an insect race mother god. She heard the demon god's question and answered in a bright smile, "He has destroyed the good relation between the insect race and the Ancestral Star races, slaughtered many insect disciples and nearly raised a war between us the insect race and the Ancestral Star. He will not be spared but killing him is too light a punishment to him. So, we intend to make him our breeding vassel."

"Breeding vassel?", the seven gods were puzzled.

While Mother Da Zhen said in a smile, "His blood has huge potential in it, he has been in the Lesser Void World Legendary Board. So we will first mate with him and reproduce a generation of insect disciples that carries the power in his blood. This is the breeding."

The seven gods were surprised, such punishment was real bizarre. Mating with the race's female gods were only seen as a punishment in the insect race, and only the insect race could have done it as well.

"Then the vassel?", Xia Que couldn't hold his curiosity and asked.

"That's even more interesting.", Mother Da Zhen said while a bright smile radiates across her face, "After the insects were given birth, they will be placed in his body. These little ones will eat his meat, suck his blood, chew on his bones and drink his brain juices. The stronger ones will even be able to crawl on his Yuan Shen and parasite on it. He will be alive and yet, suffer even more than what death can bring!"

The hatred in her words have sent a cold chill down the seven gods' spine. Bi Fang goddess stood up and said while smiling, "Since the Zhong Shan Clan member has been delivered, then we will leave me. Goodbye!"

The other gods stood up as well and said, "Mother Da Zhen, don't forget our treaty."

Mother Da Zhen and the other mother gods have stood up as well and she replied, "Don't worry, we insect race never go back on our words. We will not break the treaty between us!"

Of course, none of the seven gods believed her, but they were still going to leave nevertheless.

All of a sudden, a burst of loud laughters come from the only non-god living here. He said, "Why are you all trying to leave so quickly? Aren't you all curious of my secret? Why I could enter the Legendary Board and why I can kill so many experts so easily?"

Legendary Board!, the seven gods stopped moving, they turned around and fixated their sights on Zhong Yue. Sure enough, Zhong Yue saw the greeds that brimmed out from their eyes.1

Zhong Yue was ranked the first in the Legendary Board and his name has been spread throughout the whole world. The gods have discussed together before and they have all came out with the same conclusion—Zhong Yue has an appalling cultivation technique that even the gods doesn't have, presumably a Deity Overlord cultivation technique, or even one that was at a higher level than that!

Zhong Yue said placidly, "The truth is, I have a treasure with me. It is this treasure that has allowed me to achieve what I have today. Now, since I'm dying already, so I thought, why don't I show it out to the world before my time has come."

Mother Da Zhen frowned, she urged, "Senior martial brothers and senior martial sisters, it is time to leave."

Bi Fang goddess chortled as she said, "It's not too late to see it first before we leave. I really do want to see what this brat can present us."

Zhong Yue opened his Yuan Shen secret realms, he took out a shabby copper lamp and opened the lamp lid. He smiled and said to the gods, "The words spoken by a dying man are words of truth and virtue. If it wasn't that I'm dying son, I wouldn't have showed it out as well."

He cast out the Golden Feathery Peng Sword and it flew into the copper lamp, he said, "In truth, I guess I am more afraid that after my death, the great heritage I have will end along with me. Please, seniors, have a look!"

A pure pearl flew up from the copper lamp, it was shining in bright moonlights.

Meanwhile, inside a temple in the Xiao Mang Celestial Race, there were a bunch of white-robed Xiao Mang priests that were sitting on the ground in a circle formation. Their faces have suddenly changed drastically and they rushed out toward the supreme temple while shouting, "Quick, inform the grand ancestor, we have sensed the location of the moon core!"
