Synopsis
In the world birthed by Pangu, the Three Sovereigns lit the spark of humanity that the Five Emperors would later fan into a blazing fire, eternally branding humanity as the leaders of the world….
This was a time where twilight had descended on the reign of the Human Sovereign and the Five Emperors had yet to emerge – humanity was merely one of the myriad races wandering about the vast cosmos.
This was a desolate and barren era. The monsters, devils, heavenly gods, and deities of all races stood aloft; with the demons, heavenly souls, and spirits dancing freely around the world.
The humans were still a feeble and burgeoning race at the mercy of the pantheon of races that ruled the world together from within the great wilderness.
This was not the era of the Foreworld, but the barbaric and untamed era of uncivilization!
Let us rewind back to China’s ancient and classical mythology and recount the legendary tale of how a single figure led humanity out of an epoch of darkness and into a new dawn.
“Why do I seem like a monster? It’s not that my heart longs for blood, but the indifferent reality, and the harsh truth ... that drives me to kill.”
— Zhong Yue

Things You Should Know
Honestly, judging from the title itself, one’s initial impression would be that the story is simply another boring and cliche cultivation novel. Or at least, that was what I thought at first when I was first introduced to this novel by a friend. But to my surprise, and most likely to yours, (if you read it, that is ...) you will soon come to realize that the plot gets very interesting, involving many characters from the ancient and primeval eras of Chinese mythology.
Every story has their own charms, and every character has their own tale to tell. And this, is the tale of a young man fighting not for himself, but for the betterment of humanity. The plot starts to get really good at around chapter 50-ish, and that’s when the roller coaster starts to rise higher and higher to never come down again (literally, it ended in a climax).

Exodus Tales

Rise of Humanity

"Evil Monarch's disciples? I thought they are already here long ago?"

A confused Shi Yinji asked, "Those guys that died before the stone tablet, aren't they Evil Monarch's disciples?"

"No, they aren't, they are merely his pawns."

Hundun Yu explained, "Those that died just now are gods that worship Evil Monarch, his disciples are much stronger than them, every one of them is not any weaker than Zhu Xie!"

"Is Zhu Xie very strong then?" asked Shi Yinji again.

Hundun Yu hesitated for a second but decided to be honest, "Killed by your husband."

"Eh? So he is weak then," replied a surprised Shi Yinji.

On the other hand, Zhong Yue asked, "Senior Martial Brother Yu, how much do you know about these people?"

"You mean Evil Monarch, Demon Monarch, Celestial Monarch, and the other Deity Kings?" replied Hundun Yu, "I know little about them, all I know is what I've heard from the old ancestor, he probably knows much more."
