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

Chapter 78 The Earthly Emperor Proves His Dao, The Human Emperor's Affinity

Shouyang Mountain, Shenghuang Hall. (69 new books on the site)

"Now is not the time to turn against you Westerners. We'll owe you for now, and you'll have your turn to pay us back later." Pan Huang looked at the West with a cold smile on his lips.

On the human side, after the Jingwei incident was over, Shennong once again embarked on the path of spreading the Shennong Herbal Classic.

He had a hunch that once the Shennong Herbal Classic was known to the entire human race and began to be applied, his merits would be complete, and he would be able to attain enlightenment.

In the blink of an eye, fifteen years have passed. Shennong has been away from home for more than a decade, but Tingyao has no complaints. After all, Shennong is now doing something great that will benefit the entire human race.

After what happened before, Jingwei matured and took the initiative to help Tingyao with all the affairs of the tribe. With her help, the Jiangshui tribe flourished and soon surpassed the Huaxu tribe to become the largest tribe of the human race.

……

"Are you ready?" Shao Dian asked, looking at Chi You in front of him.

This Chi You is not the same as that Chi You. Every leader of the Chi You tribe was called Chi You. This was actually the result of Pan Huang's intervention, all for the sake of the struggle for the position of human emperor.

"That's about it. I've already found out about the tribes in our own tribe that have turned against humanity, as well as the tribes in the surrounding areas that have also turned against humanity. When the time is right, they will be incorporated into the war effort," Chi You said to Shao Dian.

"It's similar on my end. I've also screened everyone in my tribe, and at the same time, I've secretly sent people to screen everyone in the surrounding tribes." Shao Dian nodded.

"What about the other tribes of the human race?" Chi You asked.

"The Holy Master should be able to handle it; we just need to get the initial team back up for them," he said.

"Alright!" Chi You nodded.

"Then let's leave first, or we'll be discovered if we stay too long," Shao Dian said, and then disappeared from the spot.

Chi You looked at the spot where Shao Dian had disappeared, and the next second, his figure also slowly turned into a phantom and vanished.

After the two returned to the tribe, they stretched out their hands, and the two Heavenly Secrets Discs in their hands instantly turned into ashes.

This is Ruyi's supernatural power: creating clones. These clones can also shield one from heavenly secrets, but their effectiveness is limited to a certain time.

"Child, are you ready?" The leader of the Chiyou tribe asked the child before him.

"I am ready." Chi You nodded.

When Pan Huang first approached Chi You, he was somewhat reluctant, but Chi You eventually agreed after being persuaded by Pan Huang.

After this matter is over, he can return to the underworld and continue being Yama, the King of Hell.

As for Shao Dian, he didn't tell Xuan Yuan. After all, Chi You was destined to lose, and the task of eliminating the parasites of the human race required someone to take the lead. Therefore, Chi You needed to know the inside story.

Not long after Shaodian and Chiyou returned to their tribe, they handed over their leadership positions to Xuanyuan and Chiyou. Now, it's their turn to take the stage.

After Xuanyuan ascended to the throne, he did not immediately carry out large-scale reforms, because the Xiong tribe was developing very smoothly. Although he had become the leader, he still spent most of his time learning from Shaodian.

On Chi You's side, after becoming the leader, he immediately reformed the hunting team model, streamlining the original hunting team format and consciously forming teams based on each person's strengths in order to maximize individual combat capabilities.

Under his reforms, the hunting team was streamlined, but its combat effectiveness was greatly improved.

Because the Human Emperor and Chi You were masters of war, their existence was for the purpose of unifying the entire human race. Therefore, their talents could only be fully displayed in the realm of warfare.

Shao Dian was aware of this, so when he was showing Xuan Yuan around the tribe, he tried to make it as close to the topic of warfare as possible.

Xuanyuan was indeed very talented. He had a strong understanding of military matters and could offer his own insights.

Xuanyuan also started with hunting teams, but he was different from Chiyou. Chiyou emphasized the cooperation between individual combat abilities, while Xuanyuan focused on teamwork.

He expanded the hunting team, making use of each person's strengths to complement each other, in order to achieve a relatively perfect existence. After Xuanyuan's reforms, the number of people in the hunting team doubled.

After a period of adjustment, the team's coordination became perfect, and the concept of group warfare became the core philosophy of the hunting team.

Between the reforms of Xuanyuan and Chiyou, the human race's combat power was greatly enhanced, and they shone brightly in battles against enemies time and time again, which quickly drew the attention of other human tribes to the Youxiong tribe and the Chiyou tribe.

The Xiong tribe and the Chiyou tribe did not hoard their belongings, but generously shared them with the humans who came seeking help.

They did all this for the sake of humanity, so it's impossible for them to keep it to themselves.

Because Xuanyuan and Chiyou greatly enhanced the individual and team combat power of the human race, Shennong also took notice of the two.

In addition to soft power, the development of the human race also requires hard power, and the Human Emperor's responsibility is to be in charge of hard power.

"Lord, should we see these two?" asked one of the people beside Shennong.

"Let's meet him, but don't reveal ourselves. We'll observe him secretly." Shennong thought for a moment and then nodded.

Afterwards, Shennong led his people to the Youxiong tribe. He had not returned for decades. When he left the Youxiong tribe, he was just a boy, but when he returned, he had become an old man.

Although he tried to hide himself, Shao Dian still discovered him. Looking at the old man in front of him, Shao Dian felt a mix of emotions.

I am now only middle-aged, but my children are already very old.

"Father!" Shennong said with a smile when he saw Shaodian.

"I'm getting old," Shao Dian said casually.

"Hmm!" Shennong nodded. They didn't say anything else, but those two short sentences were enough.

"Did you come to see Xuanyuan?" Shaodian asked again.

"right!"

"Are we going to Chi You's place next?"

"They are all the best candidates for the position of leader. I need to examine them carefully."

"That's true." Shao Dian nodded.

"What if they are all very outstanding?" Shaodian asked again.

"The sovereign is the sovereign of the entire human race, not Shennong's sovereign," Shennong said with a smile.

"Hmm!" Shao Dian nodded.

After a brief encounter with Shennong, Shaodian left. Shennong's current identity was rather sensitive, so he didn't have much contact with him. Mainly, he still had a mission given to him by the Holy Master, and too much contact with Shennong might allow someone with ulterior motives to discover something.

After observing the Youxiong tribe for three years, Shennong left and went to the Chiyou tribe next.

The styles of Chi You's side and the Youxiong tribe's side were significantly different. Chi You's side had a more fierce folk culture and stronger individual martial arts, but their unity remained unchanged.

After observing the Chiyou tribe for three years, Shennong returned to the Jiangshui tribe.

"Lord, have you chosen your successor?" After returning to the Jiangshui tribe, everyone asked.

"They are all excellent, and I don't know who to choose." Shennong shook his head.

"We have to choose a leader."

"I'm going to see my master," Shennong said.

He had previously told Shaodian that the sovereign was the sovereign of the human race, not his sovereign as Shennong. He could not choose the successor of the sovereign based on his own preferences; he should respect the opinions of the human race.

"Master, your disciple has a request." After arriving at Zhao Gongming's thatched cottage, Shennong met Zhao Gongming and Yu Ding.

"I know why you have come. You don't need to ask me. The answer is in your own heart," Zhao Gongming said to Shennong.

"Yes!" Shennong breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Zhao Gongming's words.

Upon returning, he ordered the construction of the altar to begin; he already had his answer in his heart.

After the altar was set up, Shennong took Xuanyuan and Chiyou with him and began to teach them carefully.

"You are all strong contenders for the position of the supreme ruler. I will not make a decision on who will become the supreme ruler. The supreme ruler is the supreme ruler of the human race. Whether you can become the supreme ruler depends on your abilities," Shennong said to Xuanyuan and Chiyou.

"Yes!" Xuanyuan and Chiyou exchanged a glance, then nodded.

Xuanyuan was full of enthusiasm; he believed he would definitely become the supreme ruler.

Seeing Xuanyuan like this, Chiyou smiled inwardly. He believed that Xuanyuan would definitely become the ruler, but before that, he needed to cleanse the human race so that his position as ruler would be secure.

Because the myriad races of the primordial world had begun to act unruly. Ever since the Heavenly Emperor attained enlightenment, the fact that the human race had become the protagonist of heaven and earth had spread throughout the primordial world, so some races began to have wicked thoughts.

After leading Xuanyuan and Chiyou for ten years, Shennong felt the time was right and began preparing for the sacrificial ceremony to Heaven.

On the altar, Shennong paid homage to Heaven and Earth, to the Holy Mother Nuwa, and to Pan Huang, the Holy Teacher of the Human Race and the leader of the Human Religion, before speaking.

"I am Lieshan, a member of the human race. Now that my merits have been fulfilled, I have attained the position of Earthly Sovereign of the human race. From this day forward, I shall protect my human race and ensure its eternal existence in the primordial world!"

After Shennong finished speaking, a large cloud of merit appeared on the horizon. This merit included the merit of his enlightenment and all the merit he had gained over the years of working for the human race.

When the auspicious cloud of merit appeared, Nuwa, the Three Pure Ones, Panhuang, Zhenyuanzi, and others came to the Jiangshui tribe. This time, the two Western saints were not among them.

They didn't want to come, nor did they dare to come. Back in the East Sea, Si Teng revealed Zhun Ti's identity. Even though Zhun Ti had concealed the secrets of heaven back then, today is the day Shennong attained enlightenment.

After Shennong attained enlightenment, he could easily calculate the events of the past by using the luck of the human race, so they dared not come to witness the ceremony.

After the merit was accumulated, Shennong's aura began to surge, and he broke through to the Quasi-Saint level in no time, eventually stopping at the peak of the Quasi-Saint level.

Upon seeing this, the ancient human race all bowed down and knelt in worship, calling him the Earth Emperor.

After witnessing Shennong's enlightenment, Zhen Yuanzi's face showed an excited expression.

Shennong slowly opened his eyes and saw Zhen Yuanzi, who looked excited.

Shennong didn't speak. He looked at Zhen Yuanzi and smiled. When Zhen Yuanzi saw the smile on Shennong's face, he already knew everything.

His good friend Hongyun has returned.

After seeing Shennong successfully attain enlightenment, Pan Huang nodded and then disappeared from the spot.

Nuwa, the Three Pure Ones, and others nodded to Shennong and then disappeared from the spot, leaving only Zhen Yuanzi there.

"Fellow Daoist, the ginseng fruit is ripe." Zhen Yuanzi said to Shennong with a smile, then cupped his hands in greeting before disappearing from the Jiangshui tribe.

"Ginseng fruit!" Shennong licked his lips and muttered to himself.

After Zhen Yuanzi left, Yun Zhongzi arrived at the Jiangshui tribe.

"By order of the Holy Master of the Human Race and the Leader of the Human Sect, the Human Race's Common Ruler, Lieshan, has now achieved perfect merit and attained the position of Earthly Emperor. He shall now cultivate in seclusion in the Fire Cloud Cave to protect the enduring prosperity of our human race!"

When Shennong heard the words "Fire Cloud Cave," he seemed a little dazed, but then quickly returned to normal.

"Lieshan clan accepts the order," Shennong said, bowing to Yunzhongzi.

Yun Zhongzi bowed to Shennong and then left.

"Xuanyuan, Chiyou, I have not established a ruler for the human race, and I do not know who among you will become the ruler of the human race. But I still want to say that I am waiting for your arrival in the Fire Cloud Cave." Shennong said with a smile to Xuanyuan and Chiyou.

"Yes!" Xuanyuan and Chiyou nodded.

After Shennong left, Xuanyuan and Chiyou exchanged a glance and then left the Jiangshui tribe.

The position of the human race's supreme leader is now vacant. They must go back and perform well to gain the recognition of the human race, so as to become the supreme leader and lead the human race to glory.

Of course, this was Xuanyuan's ideal and belief, but not Chiyou's.

Chi You's belief was to kill! Kill all those who had ulterior motives towards humanity, kill all those among humanity who had disloyal hearts, so that humanity could be stable and become the protagonist of heaven and earth.

After returning to his tribe, Xuanyuan vigorously developed the human race's economy, but of course, he still prioritized military affairs.

After returning to his tribe, Chi You devoted all his energy to military affairs.

When Shennong returned to Huoyun Cave, his eyes were filled with nostalgia.

Upon entering the Fire Cloud Cave, he encountered Fuxi, who was meditating.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on the completion of your merits." Fuxi said with a smile after seeing Shennong.

Upon hearing Fuxi's words, Shennong's face showed a hint of unease, but it vanished in an instant.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." Shennong smiled and cupped his hands in greeting.

"How are the humans?" Fuxi asked.

"The human race is doing well; their development is progressing relatively smoothly so far," Shennong said with a smile.

"That's good." Fuxi nodded.

"Has Your Majesty been meditating in the Fire Cloud Cave all this time?" Shennong asked.

"Hmm!" Fuxi nodded, a hint of melancholy in his eyes as he did so.

Because of her own actions, Goddess Nuwa lost the fortune of a large portion of the human race. She must be very disappointed in herself now.

Seeing the dejection in Fuxi's eyes, Shennong felt somewhat embarrassed and then changed the subject.

Although he also awakened his memories of his past life, he did not have the same inner turmoil as Fuxi. After becoming Lieshan and Shennong, he was a human, a pure human.

"Brother, why don't you come with me to Wuzhuang Temple for a while?" Shennong said with a smile.

"Wuzhuang Temple?" Fuxi frowned slightly upon hearing the name.

He then looked at Shennong with surprise, a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

"I am Shennong, the Earth Sovereign of the Human Race," Shennong said with a smile, looking into Fuxi's eyes.
