Chapter 780 - The Wandering Planets (1/2)

Zhong Yue and Jiang Yiqi did not see this coming. Jiang Yiqi squinted his eyes and he hesitated; foe or friend, he did not know which side Fu Li belonged to. If he was an enemy, then it would be terrible if he let Zhong Yue get close to this giant.

"I am Zhong Yue."

But just as he was still hesitating, Zhong Yue already stood out, "Is there something you need from me?"

"You are Zhong Yue?"

The giant examined Zhong Yue from head to toe with a weird expression. "What a strange bloodline. It is similar to mine but at the same time, it is different. You are a human?"

Zhong Yue did not try to hide anything in front of him, thus, he nodded and confirmed his question.

The puzzled giant then murmured, "Are you like those humans in the Zi Wei Galaxy that have the bloodline from the other races? Humans can all turn into Fuxi but if you have some other bloodline in you, you will only become half a Fuxi."

Zhong Yue was speechless at this giant's action and he said, "Chasing after us from the Fourth Divine City up to here, is there something you need, elder?"

Now, he greatly respected this giant; his speed and endurance were terrifyingly strong as he actually managed to keep up with them and kept running for three years!

Jiang Yiqi once said that only those in the same level as Imperial Emperor could travel freely without the Starry Road to Heavens and with a speed faster than the teleportal cosmic light.

And Fu Li was obviously not someone in that level but a Creator. He, however, still managed to keep up with Starry Road to Heavens' teleportal cosmic light for such a long time just by running, which was incredibly admirable.

"I almost forgot my purpose here!"

The giant ignored Jiang Yiqi completely, placed his club beside his leg and reached his hand towards Zhong Yue and said, "Human Sovereign told me to tell you not to go to Zi Wei Galaxy anymore. He's already passed away and he wanted you to follow me. Jump onto my palm and I'll take you away!"

His hand was extremely massive and with his palm stretched out, his palm felt like it was a tiny world itself with the palm prints being the mountains and rivers.

"Human Sovereign is really dead?"

Jiang Yiqi was completely shaken by the tragic words coming from Fu Li, "How is this possible?"

"I don't know."

Said the giant, "That's what he told me when he gave me his message. I was very confused too. The fact that he could still send me a message suggesting that he is still alive so why did he say that is beyond me. But, since I've promised him, I intend to honor my word. Now Zhong Yue, let's go."

Chasing us all the way to here?

Zhong Yue was stunned by what the giant did; because of one promise, he chased after a teleportal cosmic light for almost three years, even tiring himself to a point where he suffered internal injuries. Such endurance, such tenacity was amazing and he proved himself to be a man of his words.

"How did senior Fu Li get to know Human Sovereign?" asked Zhong Yue.

The giant replied, "Almost every ancient universe's human knows him. He too, had come from the ancient universe but he went to Zi Wei Galaxy. He is a good man with incredible talents, but his talent was wasting away in the Zi Wei Galaxy. He shouldn't have gone there…."

The Human Sovereign was one with great ambition. He controlled a massive power in the ancient universe and had the ability to raise a grand army effortlessly. He, however, chose to remain a captive in the Zi Wei Galaxy. In the end, he never even had the chance to get out from the Zi Wei Galaxy, and everything he wanted to do was denied from him.

Zhong Yue kept quiet for a while and after a quick consideration, he answered, "I'm not going with you."

Along with Jiang Yiqi, the giant was caught off guard by Zhong Yue and they both looked at him in confusion.

Zhong Yue explained, "Senior Fu Li, because of the promise you made with Human Sovereign, you ran non stop for three years and even went as far as injuring yourself just to catch up with us. While you are a man of your word, I am also one. I've promised the Human Sovereign that I will see him in Zi Wei, and so I will go and see him, whether he is alive or dead."

The giant was stunned by his words and after scratching his head, he said, "You are a stubborn one, aren't you? Old man, you're Jiang Yiqi? Human Sovereign said that you don't have to go back anymore. You will only die if you go back, he did not wish to see this happen."

Jiang Yiqi shook his head and replied, "I am greatly indebted to Human Sovereign. Regardless of whether he is still alive or not, I must return no matter the cost and take over his position as promised. If I don't go back, humanity's situation will only deteriorate if those traitors take over his throne."

"So you are a stubborn one as well, just like him," said the giant while he scratched his head again.

"Aren't you one too?" said Zhong Yue suddenly with a smile.

The giant was stunned again and suddenly, he burst out laughing, "I am indeed! The three of us, the old, the middle age and the young, we are really alike!"

Zhong Yue laughed at his words and after a moment, he hesitatingly said, "Senior Fu Li, I want…."

The giant interfered right away when he heard this, "Don't call me senior. I can tell that you've lived for a very long time through your eyes, which makes it really weird when you called me senior. If you don't mind, you can just call me brother."

"Brother Fu Li, I just want to know how many humans are there residing in the ancient universe?" asked Zhong Yue and after a quick consideration, Zhong Yue asked carefully, "Where are you staying? How am I supposed to find you guys? I plan to drop for a visit someday in the future if I am still alive."

"We live a life with the heaven as our blanket and the earth as our bed. We wander everywhere and it really is a difficult task to find us.

The giant replied, "In truth, we humans are all laborers. When we need money and food, we would become mercenaries for the other races to help them in their wars. The old elders and I would take the entire human race wandering with us. The gods and demons here all like to hire us to fight their wars on their behalf. Of course, we would only offer our help to those who paid more."

Zhong Yue and Jiang Yiqi did not see this coming at all; they have never expected that the humans in the ancient universe were living such a life and enduring such hardship.

"If you want to find us, this is something that may help you," said the giant before he continued looking for some something. But in the end, he couldn't find anything suitable. He scratched his head once again and asked, "Do you like insects? I have a lot of golden bugs here…."
