Chapter 811: The Glorious Achievements of the Human King, The Human-God Treaty, What If It Includes Me
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Having gotten confirmation from the Heavenly Tormentors, the Transcendental Daoist Celestial, the Crimson Sun Daoist Celestial, and Luo Shui finally accepted the fact.
The shock they had before was now replaced with joy.
“This is great news. The King has returned! With him back and protecting the human race, let’s see who will dare to wreak havoc, especially that Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial. Hmph. I would like to see whether he would behave so arrogantly before the King.”
Transcendental Daoist Celestial snorted.
At this moment, they seemed to have found their pillar of strength.
After finding out that Chu Kuangren was the King, the few of them were not in a hurry to return to the Extraterritorial Region. Instead, they remained in Black Heaven Sect, hoping they could meet Chu Kuangren when he gets out from his closed-door meditation.
Of course, they did not just sit there and wait.
Since they acted as elders in the Black Heaven Sect, they taught Dao to the disciples and guided them in their practice. They all appeared very approachable.
They did not look like high and mighty Daoist Celestials at all.
In their opinion, that was the King’s sect. They could play by their own rules anywhere, but not here.
Lan Yu, Murong Xuan, and others capitalized on this rare opportunity to absorb information about the Daoist Celestials’ cultivation experiences with all their might.
At the same time, they also asked some curious questions about Chu Kuangren.
They knew that the King whom Transcendental and the other Daoist Celestials referred to was their sect leader. However, they did not know why.
“Senior Transcendental, what great feats did the Human King achieve long ago?”
On this day.
Transcendental Daoist Celestial had just finished his Dao-teaching session when a disciple inquired curiously.
“Not a bad question. I shall tell you about some of the King’s glorious achievements so that you know how great your sect leader is.”
Transcendental Daoist Celestial cleared his throat and said.
Then, he narrated a series of glorious feats, and the disciples felt like they had returned to the archaic ancient times. They could visualize how the Human King was like a ray of light in the human race’s dark ages, shining the way forward for all humans.
He invented alchemy, refined qi, defeated the Star Destruction Tribe, battled the Venerable Gods, conquered the heavens as King, stepped foot on the Godly Mountain, triumphed over the King of Gods, established cities and countries…
The crowd was overwhelmed with emotions as they listened on.
“Wow, I didn’t know Sect Leader was so powerful in his previous life. This is absolutely remarkable. No wonder the Sect Leader is so amazing.”
“Yes, but in my opinion, Sect Leader is not inferior to the Human King he was all those ages ago. It’s all thanks to Sect Leader that Black Heaven Sect is where it is today.”
“Well, whether it’s the Human King or Sect Leader, they are both people whom we admire and worship the most. After having heard that they are actually the same person, I feel that I revere Sect Leader even more now…”
The disciples of the Black Heaven Sect engaged in discussions. They could not have any greater reverence for Chu Kuangren than they had now.
When Transcendental Daoist Celestial saw this, he could not help but shake his head and lament.”The King truly is the one and only King. No matter where he goes, he will always be the most notable person.”
“Transcendental, come here.”
At this moment, Luo Shui suddenly summoned him.
Transcendental Daoist Celestial got up and came to the residence of Chaos Daoist Celestial. Several people had gathered together in the company of an additional Daoist Celestial.
It was the strongest Daoist Celestial of the Firmament Star’s Yokai Clan, Hao Yue.
“Daoist Celestial Hao Yue, what brings you here today?”
“I heard Luo Shui mention … that the Human King has returned.”
Hao Yue replied.
“Yes.” Transcendental nodded his head slightly.
Upon hearing this, a wistful look lit up in Hao Yue’s eyes. Even though she was a yokai, she had great respect for the Human King.
She was not going to meddle in the human race’s internal affairs at first.
However, now that she had learned of the Human King’s return, she changed her mind.
“Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial and his cronies will sign a Human-God Treaty with the gods on the Godly Mountain. At that time, the gods will be given the right to spread their faith among the human race. In return, the gods will provide Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial assistance in conquering the extraterrestrial civilization,” Daoist Celestial Hao Yue said.
Transcendental Daoist Celestial’s expression turned grim as soon as he heard the news. “How daring of the Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial. On what basis does he think he can represent the entire human race?”
“Without the Human King’s appearance, Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial is indeed the strongest person of all humans. Plus, there are more than a dozen Daoist Celestials on his side. You can say he’s the one calling all the shots now in the human race,” Daoist Celestial Hao Yue replied.
“What is the Yokai Tribe’s stance regarding this?”
“The Yokai Tribe did not want to interfere in the affairs of the human race. But now that the gods have joined forces with Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial and others, I can’t guarantee that they won’t target our Yokai Tribe next. That is why I’ve chosen to help you,” Hao Yue said.
“Wise move.”
Transcendental Daoist Celestial nodded slightly. He had always been quite dissatisfied with Daoist Celestial Hao Yue’s ambiguous stance. However, since she was willing to help them, he could finally let go of that grudge he had been holding against her.
“Let’s head to the Godly Mountain.”
“What about the Human King?”
“A King should only arrive at the finale.”
Transcendental Daoist Celestial remarked.
Daoist Celestial Hao Yue was unimpressed, to say the least.
“This is not a play.”
“Ahem. The King is now in closed-door meditation, refining the Underworld God’s divine fragment. He might need another few more days.” Transcendental Daoist Celestial Dao let out two coughs and said.
“It’s okay. Let’s head there together.”
An indifferent voice sounded.
Chu Kuangren stepped out from the void.
…
Godly Mountain.
The residence of all gods.
Today, both men and gods had gathered here.
Among them, the humans were headed by Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial, while the gods’ were, of course, the King of Gods.
It was worth mentioning that in addition to these two forces, there were also a large number of God Worshipping Cult members, and their leader was Zhan Xing.
The demigod of yesteryears.
These people could be considered the most powerful beings of the Firmament Star, and this meeting would determine the future of the entire Firmament Star.
“I officially bear witness to the Human-God Treaty, signed by both the human race and the gods. The treaty will be effective from now till the next 100,000 years!”
Zhan Xing said as he stepped forward.
After that, Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial and the King of Gods both simultaneously urged their respective Emperor qi and divine power to hit the void.
Suddenly, countless golden characters appeared in the void.
It was the Human-God Treaty.
“Once this treaty has been signed, the offender of any disobedience in the future will be punished by me, the humans, and the gods!”
Zhan Xing said calmly.
He would be the custodian and executor of this treaty.
That was, in fact, an enormous privilege.
It meant that in the delicate balance of power between humans and gods, he, the demigod, would be the sword hanging over their heads, keeping them in check.
He certainly had the strength and capabilities to do that too!
The gods would be given the right to spread their faith among the humans, and in turn, the Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestials would receive help from the gods to increase their combat strength in conquering the extraterritorial civilizations.
Zhan Xing would gain common respect from both humans and gods.
It was a treaty that would benefit all three parties.
“Alright, sign your name here, King of Gods.”
The Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial uttered those words with a touch of excitement in his eyes. Once this treaty was signed, he would open up a new era for the human race — an era in which humans and gods could live together and coexist, an era that was far more glorious than the one when the Human King was still alive!
He would become a greater King than Cang!
The corner of the King of Gods’ lips curved upward into a grin, and he raised his hand to unleash his divine power.
Divine power fell on the treaty and turned into one word, Huang!
That was the King of Gods’ name.
“Right. It’s your turn now.”
The King of Gods looked at Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial and nudged him.
Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial gathered Emperor qi at the tip of his finger and was about to sign his name. Yet, at this moment, a burst of palm qi slammed into the treaty.
With his brows furrowed slightly, Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial swung the Emperor qi at his fingertip toward that palm qi. Then, he looked into the distance, only to see a dozen or so streams of light flying toward him.
It was Transcendental Daoist Celestial, Luo Shui, Crimson Sun Daoist Celestial, Daoist Celestial Hao Yue, and all the Heavenly Tormentors.
“Come on. Do you still have to stir up trouble at this stage? You guys are such bloody fools!” Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial lamented as his face turned dark.
He could not understand why these people had to keep thwarting his plans.
He had a clear path to creating a new era!
“Since you have rebelled against me again and again, don’t blame me this time for being ruthless!” Killing intent flashed in Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial’s eyes.
Next to him, the King of Gods mocked them with distaste. “It’s just a few Daoist Celestials, plus a few wounded and crippled Heavenly Tormentors. With this size of a group, you guys really have the guts to break into the Godly Mountain. Aren’t you humans quite bold these days?”
“What if it includes me?”
