Primordial Era: Humanity's Supreme Ruler, Abolishes Nuwa's Position as Holy Mother

Chapter 107 Merit Completed, Shennong Testifies to the Earthly Emperor

Jiangshui Tribe.

As Shennong grew old, he sat on his bed, his dim eyes reflecting the image of Xuanyuan.

After passing the throne to Xuanyuan, Shennong had no further regrets.

Many humans outside were filled with sorrow, some weeping with their faces covered, others swallowing their bitterness.

Shennong's Materia Medica, which describes the cultivation of the five grains, saved humanity from danger and is remembered by all humankind.

At this moment.

Even the leaders of other tribes and humans all rushed over.

Someone shouted, looking at the lifeless Shennong, whose body was trembling and unable to stand, kneeling on the ground and crying out.

Over the years, Shennong endured countless hardships to pave a new path for humankind, but he still could not escape death.

The humans outside were heartbroken to see Shennong go and wept bitterly. Even though they rushed over, they were too late and couldn't even say a word.

The older generation of the Jiangshui tribe were stunned. They had followed Shennong, but now they never expected their leader to die first. Their hearts were filled with resentment.

The crowd spoke with sorrow, and outside, a vast multitude of people came to bid farewell to Shennong.

Shennong's thoughts gradually darkened.

He knew that the Jiuli tribe was beginning to stir, and he was worried that it would repeat the massacre that happened to the Youqiong tribe. He was also worried that Xuanyuan could not defeat the Jiuli.

"Leader." Xuanyuan sighed.

He accompanied Shennong in his later years, and that is why he was even more reluctant to part with him.

However, at this moment, Shennong felt that he had lost all five senses and could no longer hear Xuanyuan's mournful cries in his ears.

The humans outside were already furious, crowding around the house, their chests heaving, their breathing uneven, their fists clenched in resentment.

They longed to roar to the heavens and vent their frustration.

Seeing the tears in Xuanyuan's eyes, and looking at the vast crowd of humans outside the door, Shennong suddenly passed away.

At this moment, Shennong had achieved a state of perfect peace of mind.

Born of the human race, he was worthy of all sides and devoted his life to protecting the human race.

His hand fell limply to his side, slipping from Xuanyuan's palm, but leaving behind the responsibility of protecting humanity.

With their heads bowed, all the humans chanted the name of Shennong.

The sound was deafening, as if it would overturn the sky.

At this moment, it seemed as if the earth itself was trembling, the force was astonishing, and endless sorrow rose into the heavens.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the clear sky was filled with thunder and lightning, thunder roared everywhere, and lightning bolts appeared.

Merit descends from heaven.

At the very edge of the sky, a golden light shot down rapidly, heading towards the Jiangshui tribe.

Everyone looked up and saw the merit shining brightly, splitting into two.

The largest mass of merit was absorbed by Shennong.

In an instant, mist formed inside the entire house, smoke and clouds rose, enveloping the area, and a strange fragrance filled the air.

The moment the merit entered his body, Shennong transformed from an ordinary old man into the early stage of a Primordial Golden Immortal.

At this moment, Shennong's white hair turned black and thick, his withered flesh and blood instantly became plump and radiant, and golden light flowed between his muscles, which was extremely strange.

In the blink of an eye, Shennong returned to his middle-aged state when his energy and blood were at their peak.

His black hair cascaded down his chest and back, his eyes were no longer dim, but gleamed with a sharp light, and his vitality surged forth, as vast and boundless as the ocean.

All the hidden ailments he had suffered from were dispelled, and his body was spotless and flawless, like a blazing sun, incomparably radiant.

Nearby, the sounds of bells and tripods resonated.

The Shennong Cauldron with its two handles was emitting a golden light.

At this moment, it floated up, radiating celestial light, sometimes crystal clear, sometimes heavy and weighty, constantly changing.

Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs for the sake of the people, and the Shennong Cauldron he used to refine medicine accumulated the essence of thousands of herbs, which is now fully awakened.

Everything inside the room suddenly shone brightly, and endless mist and clouds spread out from Shennong and the Shennong Cauldron.

The Shennong Cauldron also absorbed some of the merit, becoming a treasure of merit for the human race.

The air was filled with the fragrance of herbs.

Meanwhile, the remaining merits rushed straight to Mount Kongtong.

It broke through the sage's seal, entered the Supreme Palace, and merged with Chu Feng's body.

As the merits were absorbed by the territory, the thing Chu Feng had hoped for did not happen.

Chu Feng sighed, his expression unchanged. After sensing the light, he learned that Shennong had received the golden light and had escaped his life-or-death predicament.

Immediately, he summoned Emperor Fuxi and Nuwa.

Upon arrival, the two greeted Chu Feng, saying, "Your Majesty."

"Shennong has achieved perfection; go and greet him," Chu Feng said softly.

Then, he raised his hand and unleashed a burst of energy that entered Fuxi's body.

Without hesitation, the two turned and left, using the Human Emperor Bell to break through the Saint's seal.

In the sky, two golden beams streaked across the horizon, leaving behind trails of mist and haze that created a mysterious and ethereal spectacle of interwoven colors.

The two moved quickly and arrived at the Jiangshui tribe in the blink of an eye.

They descended into the dwelling, walking through the misty haze, exuding an ethereal aura, their robes fluttering in the wind, revealing a gentle power.

"Greetings to the Emperor, Ancestor of Humanity."

The crowd cheered, overjoyed.

At the same time, Shennong, who was inside the house, also got up and greeted the two men.

After everyone had exchanged greetings...

"Buzz"

A surge of energy emanated from Fuxi's body, gently vibrating the void, containing immense power.

Then, golden light appeared, shattering the misty haze inside the house, and the golden light transformed into Chu Feng's phantom image.

All the humans paid homage to the Supreme Being.

Chu Feng looked around and solemnly said, "Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs for the sake of the common people and opened a new path for the human race. Now that his merits have been fulfilled, from this day forward, Shennong will be the Earth Emperor of the human race, residing in the Earth Emperor Pavilion of the Three Emperors Palace, and enjoying the incense offerings of the human race forever."

His voice was deep, and although he was speaking inside the house, it seemed to come from all directions.

The humans outside the house were overjoyed for Shennong and shouted, "Greetings, Human Emperor!"

The sorrow in Xuanyuan's heart vanished, and he bowed to Shennong with great joy.

Shennong was somewhat taken aback, but when he looked at Emperor Fuxi, he received affirmation from him and Nuwa, the ancestor of mankind.

Then, he stepped out of the house, concealed his golden light, and, just as he had done years before, helped the kneeling human to his feet.

Looking at them, Shennong's eyes showed reluctance.

Then, he looked at Xuanyuan and pondered, "The Jiuli tribe has been making increasingly big moves lately, so you should pay close attention to their situation."

"Rest assured, Your Majesty, with me here, I will ensure that the human race does not fall into dire straits." Xuanyuan immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute, his face solemn, and spoke in a serious tone.

Immediately afterwards, Shennong followed Fuxi and Nuwa to Mount Kongtong.

Once outside the seal, Nuwa once again used the Human Emperor Bell to capture the two inside and then sealed them away.

When Shennong met the Supreme Being, he dared not offend him and greeted him, saying, "Thank you for your protection over the years, otherwise, Shennong would have been lost to the world."

"You do what's best for humanity, and even without my protection, didn't you still dare to taste hundreds of herbs?"

Chu Feng waved his hand with a sigh and a laugh.

Under Chu Feng's introduction, Shennong paid his respects to the four ancestors of humanity and Grand Tutor Zhen Yuanzi in turn.

Shennong was meeting these people for the first time, but they were not unfamiliar with him.

After all, during the time Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs, Chu Feng really didn't dare to close his eyes for a single day, keeping a close eye on things the whole time.

After that, Shennong entered the Human Hall of the Three Sovereigns Temple and devoted himself to cultivation all day long.
