Primordial Era: Something's Wrong with This Generation of Witch Clan

Chapter 73 Fuxi's Achievements, the Common Ruler of Humanity

The first thing Fuxi did for humankind was to establish surnames. ♨♖ ➅❾ⓢ𝔥ù𝓍.Ćⓞ𝕄 😲😳

After leaving Duobao, Fuxi traveled among the Huaxu tribe and surrounding tribes.

During his travels, he also observed the human race, a habit he had maintained for over a decade.

After traveling for several years, Fuxi returned to the Huaxu tribe and then went into seclusion.

During his years of travels among humans, he gained some insights, which he wanted to summarize and apply to the human race.

Ten years later, Fuxi emerged from the pass, and the first thing he did upon his return was to find the leader of the Huaxu tribe.

"Surname? What is that?" The leader of the Huaxu tribe looked at him with a puzzled expression after hearing Fuxi's explanation of the theory of surnames.

Afterwards, Fuxi explained his understanding of surnames to the leader and gave many examples to illustrate the importance of surnames.

"Go do it!" The leader finally nodded, for he had been persuaded by Fuxi.

Afterwards, Fuxi used the Huaxu tribe as a pilot to implement the surname system, and Fuxi chose a surname for each person according to their characteristics.

For those who lack their own opinions, he would use all things as their surnames. Before long, the people of the Huaxu tribe accepted the convenience brought by the surnames.

Therefore, Fuxi's reputation in the Huaxu tribe grew higher and higher, and when the tribal chief grew old, he put Fuxi in the position of chief.

After becoming the leader of the Huaxu tribe, Fuxi worked even harder. He began to spread surnames to the surrounding human tribes, and he was very successful.

Finally, with the Huaxu tribe at its center, all human beings began to implement the surname system, and the way human beings were addressed became more and more standardized.

After establishing the surname, Fuxi began to drastically reform the tribal system, because Panhuang had brought the cities to the prehistoric world ahead of time, but had not provided the cities with corresponding systems.

When Fuxi traveled through the human race and the prehistoric world, he saw and learned many things. Based on what he saw and heard, he sorted out the system of the Huaxu tribe and established a certain organizational structure, which was the ancestor of the imperial court.

The changes in the Huaxu tribe showed other tribes the direction for their own development, so they began to come to the Huaxu tribe to learn. Fuxi did not keep anything to himself; he passed on all his knowledge to the humans who came to learn.

As time went by, Fuxi's reputation grew, and eventually, with the support of all humankind, Fuxi became the supreme ruler of humanity.

After becoming the supreme ruler of the human race, Fuxi dared not slack off and began to work even harder to help the human race live a better life.

In the third year of Fuxi's reign as the ruler of the human race, he discovered a phenomenon: many people in the human race were physically or intellectually disabled. Some of them could become normal people with the help of tribal cultivators, but others could not.

Their defects seem to be innate. In order to understand this phenomenon, Fuxi traveled among various tribes to observe. Finally, he discovered that most children in the tribes did not know who their fathers were. The vast majority of these children, who only knew their mothers and not their fathers, were either physically or intellectually disabled.

Fuxi wanted to change this phenomenon, but he didn't know where to start, because this phenomenon had been like this since the creation of the human race, and there was simply no way to solve it.

Fuxi, unable to understand it any longer, came to Duobao's place.

"Master, I have discovered that there are many people among the human race who are born with physical or intellectual disabilities. They only know their mothers and not their fathers. I want to change this phenomenon, but I have no clue how. I hope you can help me!" Fuxi said to Duobao.

"Since they only know their mother and not their father, let them know about their father," Duobao said.

"Please, Master, show your disciple the right path," Fuxi said, bowing.

"You changed your surname for the sake of humanity, and now you have become the ruler of humanity. Do you think there is any necessary connection between these two things?" Duobao asked.

"It's because my disciple has done many practical things for the human race," Fuxi said after thinking for a moment.

"You only implemented your ideas in the Huaxu tribe at first, but now the entire human race is implementing them. Why do you think that is?" Duobao asked again.

"Go ahead, once you figure this out, you'll know how to deal with the current situation," Duobao said with a smile.

"Thank you, Master! This disciple takes his leave!" Fuxi cupped his hands in thanks to Duobao, then left Duobao's thatched hut.

After returning to his tribe, Fuxi began to ponder why he was able to become the ruler of the human race. First of all, his ability to become the ruler of the human race was recognized by the entire human race, but why would they recognize him?

In other words, I am just a nobody among the Huaxu tribe, so why would they know about my reputation?

"Yes, reputation, that's it, I understand." Fuxi suddenly jumped up.

"If I bind the women and men of the tribe together and forbid them from marrying other people in the tribe, can I prevent congenital physical and intellectual disabilities from occurring?" Fuxi muttered to himself.

With this in mind, he began to use this theory as a starting point and then proceeded to deduce it. Soon, a very mature theory was developed by Fuxi. He also borrowed the name of the legendary heavenly marriage and named this system the marriage system.

The marriage system will first be implemented in the Huaxu tribe and its surrounding areas. This is a long process. If he successfully avoids congenital physical and intellectual disabilities, he will extend the system to the entire human race.

Another ten years passed. During these ten years, Fuxi observed the situation in the tribe. In the Huaxu tribe and the tribes that intermarried with the Huaxu tribe, no one with congenital physical or intellectual disabilities appeared. Fuxi knew that he had succeeded.

He then gathered people and began to extend this system to the entire human race.

Initially, some human tribes were unwilling to follow Fuxi's marriage system, but after patient explanation, they eventually agreed to it.

(I'm not very good at writing about Fuxi's growth, so I'll stop here. I'll write about the rest briefly, and I'll also briefly write about the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors after him, as that's a bit difficult.)

After the implementation of the marriage system, there were indeed no people with congenital defects among the human race, which ushered in another period of vigorous development for the human race.

As the human race flourished, Fuxi promoted the Jia calendar (based on the movement of the sun and moon and the changes in the weather and seasons, and through long-term experience and summarization, it divided spring, summer, autumn and winter and the waxing and waning of the moon, which is the origin of the Chinese calendar) to the entire human race, so that the human race knew about spring, summer, autumn and winter and the waxing and waning of the moon.

After the implementation of the Jia calendar, Fuxi took a break, because the human race was changing every day, and he could finally calm down and think about the next steps for the human race's development.

One day, as Fuxi was sitting on a rock outside the tribe, pondering a problem, he was suddenly attracted by several melodious sounds. He looked up and saw several unknown birds chirping in the treetops. Their voices were clear and bright, making people feel very comfortable.

Fuxi's previous incarnation was Xi Huang of the demon race, and his natal weapon was the Fuxi Qin (a type of zither), which shows that he was extremely sensitive to sound and music.

Upon hearing the birdsong, his first thought was to record the sounds so he could listen to them later when he felt agitated.

But how can this sound be preserved? That is the question.

Later, when the tribesmen were weaving nets with animal sinews, he heard the sound of children plucking the taut sinews. He immediately had an idea.

After Fuxi's tireless efforts, he used paulownia wood as the material, shaping it to a length of three feet six and a half inches according to the number of days in a year, and then determining its width at the back to be four inches and its width at the front to be eight inches according to the number of the four seasons and eight solar terms. Finally, he determined the height according to the number of Yin and Yang. Then, he added five strings to the outside according to the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and five notes according to the five musical notes of Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zhi, and Yu. A brand new zither appeared before his eyes.

The strings are plucked, and the sound is like heavenly music, melodious and pleasing to the ear.

After the Fuxi Qin was invented, people's lives improved, and accidents caused by anxiety decreased significantly.

Soon, Fuxi sensed that he was about to attain enlightenment, but he was still missing a crucial step. When he took that step, Fuxi would achieve enlightenment.

Nuwa Palace.

When Nuwa sensed that Fuxi was about to attain enlightenment, she began to feel nervous, because she didn't know if Fuxi would still be the human Fuxi after regaining his memories.

"I hope you won't disappoint me," Nuwa murmured to herself.

Fuxi racked his brains but couldn't figure out what else he could do to help humanity. Humanity was now materially prosperous, and under the influence of Fuxi's zither, their spiritual life was also rich. Fuxi couldn't think of anything else that humanity might lack for the time being.

And so he sat idly by the Wei River every day.

Just as Fuxi was meditating in meditation, a sudden earthquake and flood occurred in the southern part of the human territory. By the time Fuxi learned of this, only one-tenth of the human population in that area remained, which saddened him greatly.

"That's right! The human race is currently unable to predict the impending catastrophe. If the human race could have a system to predict danger, such things could be avoided." Fuxi suddenly thought of something.

Afterwards, he continued to sit idly by the Wei River, but this time he had a direction to ponder. Primordial cultivators could predict danger in advance.

If I can make this method usable by ordinary people, then my path will be complete.

After thinking about this, Fuxi began to study it. During this time, he asked Duobao many times, but Duobao had no idea how to solve it either, as the problem was too profound.

"Don't worry, I'll go back to the East Sea and ask the Sage for help. He'll definitely give you some direction," Duobao said to Fuxi before returning to the East Sea.

At Wanyao Mountain, the Great Golden Crow had been keeping a close eye on Fuxi. When he learned that Fuxi was preparing to begin studying the Eight Trigrams, he knew the time was ripe.

Fuxi was meditating on the banks of the Wei River as usual, but at that moment, a whirlpool suddenly appeared in the river, and then a dragon-horse appeared in the river.

When Fuxi saw the dragon horse, a smile appeared on his face. He had heard his mother talk about the dragon horse before. If it weren't for the dragon horse, there would be no Fuxi as he is today.

When the dragon horse came before Fuxi, Fuxi noticed that the dragon horse was carrying two things on its back.

"Is this for me?" Fuxi asked tentatively.

Ryoma nodded.

Fuxi reached out and took the object off the dragon horse's back, after which the dragon horse dived into the water and disappeared.

This dragon-horse was naturally transformed from the Great Golden Crow, and that thing was none other than the Hetu Luoshu.

In his previous life, Nuwa took the Hetu and Luoshu from Kunpeng and gave them to Fuxi. In this life, the Hetu and Luoshu are in the hands of the Golden Crow. Now that Fuxi is at a critical moment of enlightenment, he took the initiative to send the Hetu and Luoshu to him.

East Sea, Biyou Palace.

The Tongtian Sect Leader was about to say something to Duobao, but he swallowed his words back the next second.

"Go, Fuxi has obtained what he wanted, and his path is about to be completed," Tongtian said to Duobao.

"Yes, Master!" Although Duobao was very puzzled, he did not ask, because he would know the reason after meeting Fuxi.

Nuwa Palace.

Nuwa sighed deeply. The Hetu Luoshu was the key to Fuxi's enlightenment. She thought that she would need Duobao or herself to take the Hetu Luoshu from the Great Golden Crow. Unexpectedly, the Great Golden Crow delivered it to her door.

Nuwa sighed because of this: if Fuxi regained his memories of his past life after attaining enlightenment, would he turn to the demon race because the Golden Crow helped him achieve enlightenment?

If Fuxi were to switch allegiance to the demon race, the human race would suffer heavy losses. After all, Fuxi is currently the supreme ruler of the human race, and if he were to switch allegiance to the demon race, the human race's fortune would be greatly diminished.

Furthermore, after Fuxi switched allegiance to the demon race, Duobao would most likely be punished by the Heavenly Dao, and he himself would lose the fortune of the human race as a result.

"Let's take it one step at a time, brother. I hope you won't disappoint your sister," Nuwa said again, looking at Fuxi on the banks of the Wei River.

On the banks of the Wei River, after obtaining the Hetu and Luoshu, Fuxi was immediately captivated. At the same time, a voice in his heart told him that as long as he could thoroughly understand the Hetu and Luoshu, he could create a means to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune, a means that could also be used by ordinary people of the human race.

When Duobao arrived at the banks of the Wei River, he immediately saw Fuxi in a state of enlightenment.

"So that's how it is. The Hetu and Luoshu, is this what Master said could help Fuxi comprehend the Dao? I just hope that after you attain enlightenment, you won't forget your identity." Duobao looked at Fuxi and murmured to himself.

After speaking, he waved his hand, and a barrier appeared around Fuxi. To prevent Fuxi from being disturbed, Duobao set up a barrier around Fuxi and then personally protected him.

Sixty years passed in the blink of an eye. Fuxi did not deliberately use his magic to maintain his appearance. At this time, he had become an old man with white hair.

However, the light in his eyes was very bright, because he had finally figured out a way to help humanity avoid misfortune and seek good fortune, which he named the Eight Trigrams.

"My path is complete!" Fuxi said with a faint smile.

"Thank you for protecting me, Master!" After recovering from his enlightenment, Fuxi cupped his hands in thanks to Duobao.

"Go ahead!" Duobao nodded.

Upon returning to his tribe, Fuxi actively began to spread the Eight Trigrams. He wanted the Eight Trigrams to spread throughout the entire human race as soon as possible, because the sooner it spread, the sooner the human race could avoid disaster.
