Honghuang: Creation of the Green Lotus, the beginning of the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 169: The Human Race after the Great Disaster

At this time, Chen Xuan finally understood how much Nuwa had endured in the original ancient trajectory.

She knew that if the human race wanted to grow, it had to go through this catastrophe. Otherwise, the human race would not be able to become the master of the prehistoric world.

At the same time, the demon race's slaughter of the human race will also make the demon race owe the human race an endless amount of karma. In the end, it can only be repaid with the demon race's boundless luck.

At the same time, the human race will also gain the luck of the witch clan if they help the witch clan. Finally, after the fall of the witch and lich clans, relying on the luck of the two clans to bless themselves, they will become the true master of the prehistoric world.

Unfortunately, this earned Nuwa the bad reputation of giving birth but not raising children. Some even wanted to abolish Nuwa's position as the Holy Mother.

Maybe this is the reason: there are only disobedient children, but no mothers who don't love their children.

That's why Chen Xuan was so determined to tell Nuwa and Fuxi in this way, in order to prevent Nuwa from bearing this bad reputation again.

Nuwa understood the key point, so she bowed deeply in the direction of Qinglian Island and spoke at the same time.

"Master, please rest assured. From now on, unless the human race faces a life-or-death situation, I will never be content with the human race's development. At the same time, the Human Religion will only teach the human race and be responsible for protecting the human race's destiny."

Nuwa's voice also resounded through the heavens, but it did not make the human race feel abandoned. Instead, they lowered their heads in shame.

Because they know that their Holy Mother has been held accountable by her master for protecting them.

The reason for all this is that the human race itself is not strong enough. Because they rely on the saints, the human race forgets that they also need to be strong.

At that moment, all the human race knelt on the ground, first kowtowed in the direction of Qinglian Island, and then kowtowed to Nuwa and Fuxi in the air.

From that moment on, an unwritten rule was established among the human race: all mortals, at the age of eighteen, had to go to the Fire Cloud Cave to undergo a test.

Anyone who can pass the test of Fire Cloud Cave will be respected by the human race, and their family will be supported by the entire tribe.

In other words, anyone who qualified to practice cultivation would have their entire family worry-free. It was truly a case of one person achieving enlightenment and the whole family benefiting.

Later, because the prehistoric world was so vast, requiring all human beings to go to the Fire Cloud Cave to undergo the test would inevitably cause unnecessary casualties.

After all, the vast wilderness today is more than billions of miles long, and there are monsters roaming along the way. I'm afraid that there won't be many people who can reach the Fire Cloud Cave by then.

Therefore, Fuxi established the Holy Temple of the Human Race in the large tribes of the Human Race to select those who are suitable for cultivation.

As long as the human race passes the selection of the Human Race Temple, they will receive the corresponding cultivation method. When they reach the Earthly Immortal Realm, they will rush to the Fire Cloud Cave to undergo the final test.

And it took a full thousand years to complete all of this. During this thousand years, the prehistoric world was at its most peaceful.

The demons returned to heaven and prepared for a great war with the witches ten thousand years from now. Because of the battle between the two tribes, the entire prehistoric world was filled with peace.

Over the past millennia, the number of humans who have passed the Fire Cloud Cave's trials has steadily increased. The number of Human Cult outer disciples has reached tens of thousands.

Unfortunately, even so, the only one who could become the direct disciple of the human race was Master Xuandu.

For this reason, Nuwa personally went to Qinglian Island to meet Chen Xuan and expressed her concerns to him.

In response, Chen Xuan just smiled indifferently and then spoke to Nuwa.

"Although the human race possesses an innate Dao body, it is innate, not cultivated through years of refinement. It has not been baptized by the divine transformation thunder tribulation." "So, while the human race possesses an innate Dao body, it is not the most suitable race for cultivation. Often, a single illness can take the human race's life."

"But the human race has a gift that other races don't have, and that's wisdom."

"The wisdom of the human race is absolutely superior to that of all other races. As long as this wisdom is used in the right place, the development of the human race will be limitless."

"But your senior brothers and the others didn't take this into consideration. Therefore, the threshold set by the Human Cult for recruiting personal disciples is naturally something that very few humans can surpass."

"What you need to do now is to foster a hundred schools of thought among the human race. Let each human race bring into play its own strengths."

"Then, you will select the top talents in each field. Have them undergo tests of character and ability. Those who pass will be trained as direct disciples."

Hearing Chen Xuan's words, Nuwa suddenly understood. She nodded at Chen Xuan and then spoke.

"Thank you, Master, for clearing up my doubts. It turns out that the growth of the human race is not solely based on cultivation. Now I finally know how to develop the human race."

After he finished speaking, he said goodbye to Chen Xuan and left Qinglian Palace. However, he did not leave Qinglian Island and return to Huoyun Cave.

Instead, he went directly to the Taoist temple of the Three Pure Ones. Finally, Nuwa also paid a visit to the Queen Mother of the West.

Chen Xuan naturally understood that Nuwa wanted to summarize everyone's strengths and then spread them among the human race.

Chen Xuan couldn't help but sigh at this, and said to himself: "Maybe this is because I stand too high up, and I can never see clearly what the bottom needs."

It’s no wonder that Chen Xuan did this. After all, the things that Nuwa was looking for were not something that ordinary humans could cultivate and master.

It's almost like teaching a university course to a kindergartener. It would be truly strange if a kindergartener could understand it.

Helplessly, Chen Xuan could only disappear in the Qinglian Palace. When he reappeared, he had already arrived at the bank of the Yellow River.

Human beings have always settled on both sides of the Yellow River. After all, the two sides of the Yellow River are the most suitable places for human survival.

Even though the Yellow River often floods, bringing many disasters to the human race, they are still reluctant to leave their habitat with a vast water source.

After all, at that time, the human race's use of tools was still almost primitive. Apart from fetching water from rivers and lakes, it was impossible to dig wells by themselves.

Chen Xuan was naturally aware of this. However, he had no intention of teaching the human race how to make tools right now. After all, the human race was still eating raw meat and drinking blood, so it was a bit premature to say that.

Chen Xuan had spent a full hundred years traveling among the various tribes of the human race, and he had a thorough understanding of the development of the human race.

At the same time, a plan has been formulated to help the human race develop. The first step is to let the human race learn to use fire.

For this purpose, Chen Xuan specially went to the largest tribe of the human race, the Sui Ming tribe, where the patriarch of the human race, Suiren, lived.

Chen Xuan transformed into an ordinary human, settled down in the Shuo Ming tribe, and hunted with the young and strong people in the tribe.

It also allowed humans to taste meat cooked by fire, and finally let humans know that cooked meat is more suitable for human consumption than raw meat.

Then, under Chen Xuan's guidance, Suiren finally mastered the method of making fire by drilling wood.
