Chapter 130 Fuxi teaches Shennong the way for the development of the human race.
Shennong was quite familiar with the name Chen Qing among his clan members, as he often heard it mentioned by them.
Although the human race was created by the sage Nuwa and protected by the sage Taiqing, the two sages did not stop the demon race from oppressing them.
They claimed to offer protection, but in reality, they did not, resulting in the near extinction of one-tenth of our human race. In the end, the sage Nuwa was born of the demon race, and the human race was merely a means for her to attain sainthood.
The appearance of Chen Qingdao was unexpected by everyone. If it weren't for Chen Qingdao's fierce attack that time, which crushed the demon race with absolute strength, he would have been able to fight Nuwa Saint to a standstill.
Under the intimidation of Daoist Chen Qing, they consulted the Heavenly Dao. Fortunately, the Heavenly Dao was fair; the two sages had indeed done nothing first, and both were stripped of some of their fortune. After that battle, no one dared to look down on the human race again.
However, Shennong was both curious about and admired Chen Qing Daojun. During this time, his teacher and the sovereign had revealed a lot of information to him. The reason his teacher was able to accept him was because he had received guidance from this Daojun.
Going a step further, it is said that he was personally appointed by this Chen Qingdaojun as the future Earth Emperor of the human race.
Hearing Fuxi's firm and resounding words, Hao Yingshi could no longer contain his excitement. "Lord, I believe that under your leadership, our human race can become the overlord of the primordial world and hold an absolute position in this primordial world."
Shennong originally wanted to ask Fuxi about Chen Qing, but seeing Hao Yingshi's excitement, he had no choice but to suppress his curiosity for the time being. He opened his mouth and echoed her sentiments.
"Our human race has grown strong now. I believe that when your innate Bagua spreads throughout the tribes, our human race's strength will surely reach new heights."
In the main hall of Wanqiu City,
After leaving the Haoying tribe, Fuxi and Shennong returned to Wanqiu City.
Fuxi sat on the high seat, looking thoughtfully at Shennong to his left, and slowly poured himself a cup of spiritual tea.
"Shennong, just now at Haoyingshi's place, I noticed you seemed a little hesitant. Is there something you want to ask me?"
At this moment, only the two of them were in the hall. Seeing this, Shennong felt relieved and boldly spoke up.
"Lord, do you know about Chen Qing Daojun's past as a human? I only know that he suddenly appeared with absolute power when the human race was in danger, but I don't know what kind of power he had at that time."
"Moreover, Daoist Chen Qing can even calculate my birth date and my future. Could it be that Daoist Chen Qing is already a sage?"
"But when I heard them talking, it seemed that Daojun did not show the cultivation of a saint, but rather the cultivation of an ordinary Xuanxian. I don't know what kind of method Daojun cultivates."
When Fuxi saw that Shennong was so bold as to directly inquire about the affairs of those sages, he immediately interrupted him.
"Shennong, those powerful beings are not for us to be curious about. We should not be curious about things that are not our concern. And Chen Qing Daojun is not something we should discuss."
At this point, Fuxi sighed softly, "We only need to know that it was Daoist Chen Qing who protected our human race in times of crisis, and we don't need to worry about anything else."
"During this time, I will be holding meetings, and you can just follow along and learn from me."
"Recently, I have had a premonition that the time for me to attain enlightenment is not far off."
"Therefore, I don't have much time to hand over those tasks to you one by one. I can only take advantage of this meeting to see how much you can learn from it."
"Shennong, I hope that after I attain enlightenment, you can lead our human race to prosperity."
Shennong was stunned by Fuxi's words. Although he had long known that Fuxi would eventually attain enlightenment, he hadn't expected the time to be so tight.
For the past hundred years, he had only followed his teacher to cultivate and learn how to manage affairs, but in the end, there were still some differences between the teacher's and the sovereign's methods of management.
During this time, he stayed by the side of the sovereign, watching him sometimes befriend the tribal leaders, and sometimes give them a warning.
When no one was around, he would ask the Lord about things he didn't understand, and he still remembered the Lord's complex emotions at that time.
At that time, he stood beside the sovereign, watching the sovereign gaze into the distance, his expression hard and cold, the sovereign's words still echoing in his ears.
"Shennong, remember this: our goal is the human race. We all hope that the human race will become strong and compete for the strongest position."
"But every tribal chief has his own agenda. Who doesn't want their tribe to have more say? So sometimes it's necessary to give them a proper warning."
"Shennong, simply letting things run rampant is not a long-term solution. Sometimes, many forces are destroyed not because of internal strife, but because of internal conflicts. I don't want our human race to suffer the same fate."
"Lord, why have you summoned us here?"
Shennong instantly snapped out of his reverie and saw that the hall was already filled with the leaders of various tribes.
Looking at the people in the hall, Fuxi said with emotion, "Everyone, you must know that I recently comprehended the Primordial Eight Trigrams."
"I see that your strength has improved a lot. Some of you have directly advanced to a minor realm, and some have even broken through to a major realm."
The tribal leaders looked at Fuxi with great excitement. "Lord, the Eight Trigrams you have comprehended are so useful to us. They have not only helped us improve our cultivation, but also helped us to better understand the prehistoric world."
Hearing everyone's words, Fuxi felt much more at ease. This meant that during his time of attaining enlightenment, the human race's strength could increase significantly.
"Alright, I have summoned you all here for two reasons. First, it is for Shennong. Second, I have recently felt that I am not far from attaining enlightenment, so I want to hand over all my affairs before I do."
Hao Yingshi was overjoyed to hear Fuxi's words, "Congratulations to the Lord on his imminent attainment of enlightenment. In this way, the fortune of our human race will be even stronger."
Other tribal leaders were not to be outdone and offered their congratulations as well.
Fuxi raised his hand, stopping the action. "Let's get back to the main topic. Has anything else important happened in our clan recently? Have all the Eight Trigrams of the Primordial Chaos been passed down?"
Suiren and Youchao stood in their positions and informed Fuxi of the progress of the spread.
"Lord, the message has been sent to all the major tribes, and to the smaller tribes that are closer to Wanqiu City, it has also been delivered."
"However, our human race has grown too large a population, and the news hasn't reached the more distant areas yet."
"However, most of the information has already been disseminated. If we are given more time, we will be able to enable all of our human race to use the Innate Eight Trigrams."
Fuxi understood that after hundreds of years of recuperation, the human race had long since grown to hundreds of millions of people, and it would indeed take some time for everyone to have a set of the Eight Trigrams.
"Alright, then the two of you will take over the follow-up work with Shennong. It's time for Shennong to take over these matters as well."
Suiren and Youchao bowed to Fuxi and agreed, saying, "Yes."
