Primordial Era: I rule the great sect and command all immortals.

Chapter 66 Xuanyuan sweeps across the eight directions, Chiyou harbors resentment

"Hahaha! My son, you are overthinking it. The Chaos Dao Lord is the tutor of two generations of emperors. You are the Dao Lord's disciple. How could they not be convinced by you?"

Shao Dian laughed heartily. Ever since the day Xuanyuan was taken away, he, as his father, had been waiting for this day, hoping that his son would one day become the Emperor and bring glory to the family.

Upon hearing his father's words, Xuanyuan no longer hesitated and said directly, "Then I will accept the position of clan leader and use the knowledge taught by my teacher to benefit the clan."

Half a month later, Shao Dian invited the leaders of several surrounding tribes to a handover ceremony, where everyone witnessed Shao Dian passing on the position of tribal leader to his son, Xuan Yuan.

After Xuanyuan took over as clan leader, he began to teach his clansmen better farming methods, following the methods taught by Chaos Daojun.

In the past, humans burned down the mountains and forests, and then cultivated the land on the burned mountains. During the process of setting fire to the mountains in various places, they sometimes encountered headwinds, which not only prevented them from achieving their goal, but also caused countless people to die and destroyed many people's homes due to the fires.

Moreover, after several years of cultivation, the fertility of such land declines, and the harvest from the fields becomes less and less. People then abandon their original fields and turn to setting fire to destroy other mountains and forests.

Burning like this indefinitely couldn't be a solution. After research, Xuanyuan discovered that burying human or animal excrement in the soil could improve the fertility of the land. This way, it wouldn't be necessary to go to another place every few years, burn down forests, and reclaim farmland.

After being taught by Xuanyuan, the surrounding human tribes obtained new farming methods, and the yield of the fields increased every year. People were well-fed and clothed, and the tribesmen had even greater faith in Xuanyuan.

Besides solving the food problem, Xuanyuan was even more skilled at training the tribe's warriors, which greatly increased their combat effectiveness.

When the surrounding tribes heard that the Youxiong tribe was powerful and that its chieftain was a direct disciple of the Chaos Dao Lord, they all led their tribes to submit to it. In succession, eight major tribes, including the Bear, Xiu, Chu, Tiger, Eagle, He, Eagle, and Kite, submitted to it, making the Youxiong tribe increasingly powerful.

Xuanyuan worked diligently to develop the tribe, using his acquired knowledge. The Youxiong tribe gradually grew stronger, and Xuanyuan gathered many capable people under his command, such as Feng Hou, Yinglong, Linglun, Qibo, Cangjie, and so on.

Xuanyuan's reputation gradually spread throughout the human race. Shennong was very pleased when he heard about his junior brother's deeds and often said to people, "Xuanyuan of the Youxiong tribe is a sage. In the future, I will follow the example of Fuxi and pass on the position of the ruler of the world to Xuanyuan."

Shennong's son, Yuwang, was very dissatisfied upon hearing this and said to Shennong, "Father is the emperor, and I should inherit the throne in the future. What virtue or ability does Xuanyuan have to be the ruler of the world?"

Yu Wang was intelligent and studious from a young age, learning both literature and martial arts. At the age of seventeen, Yu Wang commanded a large army and fought against the Dongyi people, defeating the enemy many times and earning the worship of his people.

Shennong simply smiled at his son's idea. The throne of the Human Emperor was not something that could be obtained with just a little military merit.

This involves the calculations of the immortals. The teacher and the Jie Sect have already placed a heavy bet on Xuanyuan. With the protection of the sages, how can my son compete with Xuanyuan?

However, seeing his son's unconvinced expression, Shennong sensed that Xuanyuan lacked prestige and was unlikely to truly rule the entire human race.

Therefore, in order to increase Xuanyuan's prestige, Shennong ordered Xuanyuan to lead the warriors of the Youxiong tribe to conquer all directions, and with their bravery, completely bring the entire Dongsheng Shenzhou under the control of the human race.

Upon receiving the Emperor's order, Xuanyuan immediately reorganized his troops and led nine armies, including bears, brown bears, xiu, chu, tigers, eagles, pheasants, hawks, and kites, to fight in the south and north, defeating the human race that refused to submit to the Emperor's rule and wiping out some remnants of the demon and witch races.

Over the course of hundreds of years, Xuanyuan's name spread rapidly throughout the human race through one glorious victory after another, making him the war god and protector of the human race.

Shennong gradually achieved his goal. When the war ended, Shennong personally summoned Xuanyuan to Chendu and personally taught him the way of the human emperor, just as Fuxi had taught him, without any selfish motives.

The time had come for the two human emperors, Shennong and Xuanyuan, to hand over power to the human race. However, no matter how brave Xuanyuan was, many forces were still dissatisfied and were preparing to rebel, attack Xuanyuan, and seize the throne of the human emperor.

Meanwhile, Xuanyuan was fighting in the south and north, and in the process, he also slaughtered some of the forces of the witch and demon races. This matter naturally caused some turmoil.

In the last great calamity, the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan fought a great war, and not one in ten thousand survived. Only a few members of the Witch Clan remained. The Demon Clan was already scattered and no longer a threat.

On the other hand, the Wu tribe, apart from a portion of the Nine Netherworld, mostly remained in the "Ancestral Wu Palace" in Beiju Luzhou, with a small portion located in Nanzhanbuzhou.

This time, the small tribes of the Wu clan that were wiped out by Xuanyuan in Dongsheng Shenzhou were all scattered Wu clan members. Not to mention there were no great Wu, even small Wu were rare.

As the news gradually reached the Southern Continent, a newly promoted great shaman of the Wu tribe, Chi You, flew into a rage. He had witnessed the glory of the Wu tribe and, as a minor shaman, had participated in the final war between the shaman and the demons, surviving countless calamities. However, he never imagined that his own people would be reduced to being slaughtered by the weak human race.

Xuanyuan's actions aroused the hatred in Chiyou's heart.

Chi You was also a freak among the Wu tribe. Three thousand years ago, he accidentally ate a magical herb and slowly developed a primordial spirit, which was just like Hou Tu and Zhou Ji.

Therefore, during the decline of the Wu tribe, many great shamans became disheartened and secluded themselves in the "Ancestral Witch Temple." Chi You gradually gained power among the Wu tribes in the Southern Continent and became the still active leader of the Wu tribe.

Thinking of the glory of the Wu tribe in the previous calamity, Chi You was unwilling to see the Wu tribe decline, so he began to invite the remaining members of the Wu tribe to help him in various parts of the prehistoric world. Those lesser witches and witch people, seeing Chi You's bloodline as a great witch, all gathered under Chi You's command.

On this day, Chi You found the two great shamans of the Wu tribe, the Wind God and the Rain Master, and invited them to come out of seclusion.

These two great shamans, having lived peacefully for thousands of years, were also restless and yearning for action. The fighting spirit inherent in the shaman tribe had not dissipated, and they were persuaded by Chi You to come out of the mountains to help him.

Overjoyed to have the help of the two great shamans, Chi You wanted to continue his efforts and invite more people, but then a bucket of cold water was poured on his head: none of the other great shamans were willing to come out of the mountains to help Chi You.

Although Chi You was dissatisfied, he couldn't do anything about these great shamans. They were all great shamans, of equal status, and it was normal for them not to obey his leadership. He could only sulk in silence.

On this day, Feng Bo said to Chi You, "Chi You, although you are a strongman among the great shamans, those great shamans who survived are not weak either. In their eyes, you do not have enough prestige, and they are unwilling to obey your leadership."
