Chapter 989: Skills Will Always Be Overwhelmed By Fate

Zhong Yue stopped bringing up the topic about Consort Tian Si being the woman he loved and he smiled, "Do Consort Tian Si and Mo Yin have the power to control an army? Can you gather an army of endless soldiers? Those two are mere strategists with no army under them and without any power, everything is futile. Even if they managed to help their lords in becoming the ruler, everything will be in vain if their lords slaughter them after becoming the ruler."

Yun Juanshu smiled, "King Yi, I suppose you are wrong in this matter. We humans have no position in this world and it is not that easy for us to possess an army."

"But I do."

Zhong Yue said, "I have an army of 50,000,000 men consisting of elite soldiers, Imperial Emperors, Creators, Deity Emperors and many more. There are a total of 37 celestial and demon races serving under me and with just an order, my army will stampede across this universe, occupy a land for we humans and protect my people wit ease and this is what Mo Yin and Consort Tian Si couldn't pull off."

Carefully, Yun Juanshu voiced out his question, "And they said King Yi is not a human but a reborn innate god?"

Zhong Yue blinked his eyes and said, "I am a human now."

After a moment of thought, Yun Juanshu smiled, "But with King Yi's strength right now, I fear that it will still be hard to protect humanity. We humans are slaves to all races and can only struggle to survive. The gods and demons that enslave fear our sealed Fuxi bloodline. Even if King Yi manages to stand your ground in his world, once you help Imperial Emperor Xian Tian in becoming the Heavenly Monarch, you will be the first life he reaps! King Yi, your vision is just as narrow as the Mo Yin and Consort Tian Si you just spoke off!"

Zhong Yue burst out laughing and he praised, "You are very right."

"Very reasonable," praised Zhong Yue again.

Yun Juanshu then smiled and said, "Please forgive me for being so straightforward."

Zhong Yue shook his head and smiled again, "In this world, supreme power is the only truth. I am the first place in the Board of Future Monarchs and the future monarchs are all under me. Once Imperial Emperor Xian Tian succeeds in becoming the Heavenly Monarch, I will be able to stand on an equal ground with him and what can he do about that? Can Tian Si and Mo Yin do this? Can Tian Si's husband achieve this as well?"

"No, they can't. Neither one could."

Yun Juanshu replied, "But even so, can King Yi hold off that existence lurking in the shadows behind Imperial Emperor Xian Tian? I've heard that the Fuxi Celestial Race was once a proud race that ruled the world, yet they were still reduced to this state. King Yi, intelligence is useless before absolute strength, can your intelligence and strength hold them off?"

Zhong Yue's eyes lit up hearing this, "Your vision is a little higher than Consort Tian Si's and Mo Yin's! These ancient existences are not undefeatable. I will surpass them if I had enough time!"

With that, Zhong Yue stomped the ground, revealing his seven light wheels, "With the future monarchs' aid, I will be able to create and perfect the seventh secret realm, granting me the power against these old dogs!"

On that very second Yun Juanshu saw the seventh wheel, his vision turned blurry and he couldn't help but admire the alluring and mysterious totem patterns displayed in these seven light wheels.

Zhong Yue then dispersed the light wheels and said, "What do you have to say now, Juanshu?"

Yun Juanshu sighed and said, "Juanshu respects King Yi and admire your great ambitions. You have the brains and brawns for your dream but you do not have Heaven's fate on your side. The higher you rise, the harder you fall. Consort Tian Si and Mo Yin both sought after something much smaller than King Yi as they only wanted a better future for the human race so that we are no longer livestocks to the other races. Hence, even if they failed, the human race would remain as slaves and livestock. But if you fail ..."

Zhong Yue's eyes twitched.

"Your ambition is too great but Heaven is not on your side. If you fail, what await humanity will only be total annihilation."

Yun Juanshu continued, "Please teach me, King Yi."

Zhong Yue remained silent for some time before he shook his head, "I have no teachings for you. No wonder Consort Tian Si admired you so much, told me that she is nowhere as brilliant as you, said that you are even better than me and Mo Yin is so respectful of you."

Yun Juanshu's heart was thunder struck upon hearing this and the confused young man asked, "King Yi has seen me before?"

"No," replied Zhong Yue, "I have Consort Tian Si's Karmic Lines here and the instant I saw you, the Karma of Marriage in her Karmic Line was moved, which allows me to immediately know that you are her husband. Besides, it makes no sense that no one among your men knows me because the Human Sovereign Palace's gods would definitely recognize me. Senior Martial Brother Yun, you have been hiding deep enough, you helped your master out without showing yourself, hiding away from plain sight. Who is this master of yours? Who are you working for?"

Yun Juanshu smiled, filled Zhong Yue's cup again and said, "King Yi, let's not dwell into this matter. Come, have a cup of tea."

Zhong Yue took a light sip, put the cup down and without a sign, he suddenly said, "I've been in love with Consort Tian Si and this love is so deep that I can't sleep at ease every night."

This sudden comment had Yun Juanshu choked on his tea and the young man spit out the tea before he said angrily, "King Yi, let's not talk about my master and your feelings towards my wife!"

"But sooner or later, you and her will be in conflict because of the different masters you serve. By then, it will be my chance to interfere and make her mine," said Zhong Yue with a cheerful manner while Yun Juanshu kept a stiffened expression.

Zhong Yue burst out laughing and he said, "Well, I'd know even if you did not tell me. I can sew a Karmic Line for you and gain have full control over your actions. By the time you return to your master, I will be able to know who is your master."

Upon hearing this, Yun Juanshu shook his head and said, "King Yi might be outstanding and superior than many in terms of intelligence, have higher mastery in the art of karma than my wife but you will not be able to sew my Karmic Line."

Zhong Yue did not buy his words and the unconvinced man secretly sewn Yun Juanshu's Karmic Line but just as he started sewing the thread, the karma was distorted and the thread was linked to one of the strong magnates in this world that stood in the top of the pyramid!

Zhong Yue had a shock and he immediately cut this thread off but it was already too late for this magnate standing on top of the food chain had already traced towards Zhong Yue and slammed towards him with his overwhelming power!

In Zhong Yue's mind emerged a giant that stood as high as the heaven, rumbling his psyche ocean to a point that it was about to explode and the giant shouted, "Who are you? How dare you try to peek on me!"

"[Sui Sovereign Flame Order Palace]!"

Zhong Yue immediately activated the art, created fiery flames that burned the magnate's psyche entirely, incinerated the Karmic Line in his hand and blocked off that existence's detection!

"Nice!" shouted Zhong Yue after he warded the existence off.

"So this is the Almanac of Six Paths?" asked Zhong Yue.

Yun Juanshu smiled, "Yes. The Almanac of Six Paths recorded the secrets in Six Paths Reincarnation. When King Yi tried to calculate my karma, I hid myself away from your senses using the Almanac of Six Paths and pushed the karma you are calculating to a monarch that has reborn many times. As such, when you calculate my karma, you are calculating his. You are very powerful, King Yi, I never thought you could escape from him."

The amazed Zhong Yue then let out a praise, "I've seen the Almanac of Karma, Almanac of Fate, which are both very powerful and now, I finally saw the Almanac of Six Paths. What are the uses of this Almanac of Six Paths?"

Straightforwardly, Zhong Yue directly asked his question, which was something forbidden among the majority gods out there but Yun Juanshu did not hide at all, "I suppose King Yi knows about the Book of Life and Death in Hell's Reincarnation?"

Zhong Yue nodded, "This book decides the fate of the reborn souls, which race they would reborn into, what will be waiting for them in the future but this book could only control those below the Deity Emperor level beings but not those above."

"The Book of Life and Death is only a part of Almanac of Six Paths for it is derived from the Almanac of Six Paths." explained Yun Juanshu, "In the Earth Order Era, the Fuxi Celestial Race controls the Almanac of Six Paths, hold absolute power over the fate of the many races out there and this Almanac of Six Paths is just a tiny part of the entire Almanac of Six Paths. Through my Almanac of Six Paths, I've cultivated the Six Paths Heavenly Eye that could alter the gods' fate."

Zhong Yue's heart tightened and praised, "Very powerful indeed."

"Apart from that, my eye can also check the gods' life and death cycle and trace their history back into their previous life," added Yun Juanshu, "I could also alter the fate of a race."

Zhong Yue sighed and with great regret and other mixed feelings, he said, "But this proud and powerful Fuxi Celestial Race is no more."

"And this is what we called skills are overwhelmed by fate." sighed Yun Juanshu.

The two then remained silent and they both thought about their own matters.

A few days later, as the fleet sailed across the universe silently, a god shouted, "Leader, incoming galaxy pirates!"

Zhong Yue and Yun Juanshu got out from the chamber immediately and when they looked towards the outside, Yun Juanshu's men were all tensed up as they prepared themselves for a battle while the refugees hid inside the cabin shivering.

Far away, pitch black demonic Qi and crimson red monstrous Qi rumbled towards the fleet and one after another warships with ragged banners charged at them.

Onboard of these pirate warships were all ferocious gods from the demon and monster race and among them, a few demon and monstrous Deity Emperors with fat figures, skull necklaces on their necks looking towards the fleet without hiding their hostility..

Suddenly, Zhong Yue revealed his divine third eye, his vision swept across the surrounding quickly and in an instant, endless light lit up the surrounding and there were no corners left hidden in the darkness anymore!

The originally dark galaxy turned snowy white in an instant and everything was exposed entirely before them!

The pirate warships on the other hand, had already set up the cannons and just as the pirates were about to lit up the fuse, they had a shock when the light swept through them and they immediately felt that their secrets were all exposed under Zhong Yue's gaze.

A demon Deity Emperor stood up right away and with a rumbling voice, he shouted, "Haha! To think that there is actually a powerful one hiding in here! Who is this? Senior martial brother, are you brave enough to introduce yourself?"

Zhong Yue bowed from afar and his voice echoed across the galaxy clear and loud, "Greetings, captain. I am Xian Tian Palace's Left King Yi, Yi Feng. Can I have the honour to have you let us continue our journey without any turbulences?"

"Xian Tian Palace's King Yi? That Mister Yi who cut the innate evil god Zhu Xie down with his saber?"

The demon Deity Emperor had a shock and this time, entirely hiding his animosity away, he politely bowed and said, "We dare not hijack your fleet, King Yi. Little ones, keep the cannons away and clear a path for King Yi!"

The pirate warships immediately pulled the cannons back and the demon Deity Emperor smiled, "Mister Yi, this way please."

Zhong Yue thanked him and as the two command warships came closer, he asked, "Captain, what is your name?"

The demon Deity Emperor immediately said, "My name is Ding He. Mister Yi, let us bid farewell right now. Have a safe trip ahead!"

With that, Ding He swing his hands and the pirate fleet distanced themselves away before leaving the area.

Yun Juanshu on the other side, had his heart thumped quickly as he looked at Zhong Yue from the back for without him knowing, this young man in front of him had already made a well known fame for himself that even these ruthless and dangerous pirates respected him to a very high extent!
