The Human Race's Co-Lord

Despite this, Li Er still anticipated they would be in a bad mood after hitting a wall.

Afterward, Li Er focused on refining the Chaos Bell.

But it wasn't long before his state was interrupted again. This time, it wasn't Yuanshi and Tongtian visiting, but news from the Human Race.

In a tribe of the Human Race – the Fengyan Tribe – there was a young girl named Huaxu who, by chance, sensed Fuxi's descent.

She had been pregnant for twelve years and finally showed signs of labor today.

When Huaxu was pregnant, ten thousand feet of Violet Qi descended from the heavens. Upon her birth, the air was filled with auspicious light, a fragrant aroma, and divine beasts circled the dwelling.

These unusual phenomena attracted widespread attention from the outside world.

Fuxi was about to be born.

Li Er learned of the reincarnation and birth of Fuxi, the first of the Three Sovereigns of Humanity. All Saints remained silent on the matter.

Although the right to decide was in the hands of Li Er, one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, no one intervened.

The people of the Fengyan Tribe rushed to the Wei River Bank upon hearing the news. They thought a great sage of the Human Race was attaining enlightenment, but they only saw a solitary thatched hut, Huaxu's dwelling.

Huaxu had long been ostracized by the tribe for her prolonged pregnancy. Her reappearance at the Wei River Bank now surprised the people of the Fengyan Tribe.

As the people of the Fengyan Tribe were observing the thatched hut, a powerful ox bellow suddenly echoed.

Immediately after, a strange beast stepped across the water and approached Huaxu's thatched hut. It resembled an ox, was entirely azure, and had a single horn growing from the center of its head that pierced the clouds, exuding an extraordinary aura.

Although the people of the Fengyan Tribe were unfamiliar with this strange beast, they recognized it from the seeds of Human Race heritage as Si, the mount of the ancient Taishang Saint, also known as the Horned Green Ox.

Its appearance symbolized auspiciousness and vitality from the East.

People marveled, wondering if this was the manifestation of the ancient auspicious beast Si, and if it signified the prosperity of the Human Race.

For a time, the people of the Fengyan Tribe knelt in reverence, expressing their respect and welcome to the auspicious beast.

However, as the people of the Fengyan Tribe trembled with unease, three streams of light flew out from the Three Ancestors of Humanity on Shouyang Mountain and landed directly on the Wei River Bank.

Their arrival further astonished the people of the Fengyan Tribe.

They wondered what special day it was, why so many unusual phenomena were occurring.

The people of the Fengyan Tribe knew that neither the auspicious beast Si nor the Three Ancestors of Humanity had come for them, ordinary humans.

So, they bowed even more respectfully before the auspicious beast Si, expressing their reverence and humility.

In reality, this auspicious beast Si was Li Er's mount – the Horned Green Ox.

As a Saint's mount, its origin was naturally extraordinary.

Although it looked like an ox, it had no connection to ordinary cattle.

It was a true auspicious beast Si, only appearing when the world was prosperous.

The world only knew of its appearance as a green ox, overlooking its true identity and origin.

Xuandu's voice emanated from the Horned Green Ox's mouth, with a light chuckle, "I have come with young master Xuandu. It is my duty, and there is no need to blame me."

Upon hearing Xuandu's name, everyone was shocked.

They knew well that Xuandu was the pride of the Human Race, the strongest of the current generation, who had once resisted the Demon Race when the Human Race was in peril.

The people of the Fengyan Tribe had initially thought only a great sage of the Human Race was being born, but they never expected that even Xuandu would be alerted.

For a moment, they were filled with surprise and joy.

Xuandu's figure appeared silently, his Daoist Robe fluttering in the wind, like the sole supreme being between heaven and earth.

The Three Ancestors of Humanity looked at Xuandu, marveling at his demeanor.

In their hearts, the image of Xuandu shielding them from disaster during the invasion of the Demon Race resurfaced.

After reuniting with old friends, Xuandu interrupted the lengthy pleasantries.

He turned his gaze towards Huaxu's thatched hut, stating his purpose: "I have come today for the infant born in this house. He will be the future master of the Human Race's prosperity. I am here on the orders of Taishang Saint to take him as my disciple."

Huaxu was overjoyed upon learning of Xuandu's intention and requested him to bestow blessings and a name upon her child.

Xuandu readily agreed but dared not casually change the name of Fuxi's reincarnation, as this was the reincarnation of Nuwa Saint's elder brother.

Therefore, he decided to retain Fuxi's original name.

"Then, he shall be called Fuxi," Xuandu declared.

But this Fuxi was the Fuxi of the Human Race, no longer the Fuxi of the Demon Race.

At this moment, the Three Ancestors of Humanity were ready, and Xuandu had also appeared.

After the Human Race had gone through a tribulation, Xuandu had returned to the Eight Sceneries Palace to cultivate in seclusion.

Now, reunited with the Three Ancestors of Humanity, after catching up, they moved on to the main topic.

Xuandu smiled, stating his plan to stay with the Human Race for an extended period.

As the sole Imperial Tutor to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, he was destined to witness the Human Race's journey from self-reliance to independence, and finally to strength, thus he would accompany them for a long time.

The Three Ancestors of Humanity laughed heartily upon hearing this, expressing their agreement.

On the other hand, Fuxi displayed extraordinary intelligence from the moment he was born.

He could speak within three days and walk within five. As he grew older, he developed unique insights into the world around him.

The members of the Fengyan Tribe firmly believed that Fuxi would become a great sage of the Human Race in the future.

Due to his innate extraordinary nature, the entire tribe placed high hopes on him.

At a young age, Fuxi had already assisted the tribal chief in handling difficult matters, bringing order to the tribe and even signs of prosperity.

Initially, Fuxi noticed the difficulty the men of the tribe had in catching fish with wooden sticks. An idea struck him, and he taught the tribesmen to weave ropes to make fishing nets.

With fishing nets, the Fengyan Tribe's fishing became effortless, and they caught a large quantity of fish.

Fuxi further applied this method, weaving bird nets in the same way and teaching the tribesmen to catch birds.

As a result, the Fengyan Tribe gradually became the most prosperous among the Human Race tribes.

Unbeknownst to Fuxi, that initial fishing net had become imbued with the Human Race's destiny and would later become a treasure that consolidated the Human Race's momentum.

As Fuxi was about to come of age, the chief of the Fengyan Tribe, being elderly, abdicated and passed the position of chief to him.

At the same time, Fuxi's mother, Lady Huaxu, told him that a benevolent beast, Si, had brought him food at birth, and that the foremost great sage had accepted him as a disciple. She also advised him to find his own solutions to any problems he encountered.

Fuxi embarked on the path to Shouyang Mountain to seek the Dao and find a master.

Under the guidance of the great sage Xuandu, he began his cultivation journey. With his exceptional talent, he reached the Heavenly Immortal cultivation level in just over a decade.

Although Li Er did not pay much attention to Fuxi's progress, he foresaw that Fuxi would accumulate experience step by step and eventually become a leader of the Human Race.

One day, Venerable Yuanshi and Sect Master Tongtian arrived outside the Xuandu Purple Mansion. They directly stated their request.

They hoped to secure the position of Imperial Tutor for their disciples, Guangchengzi and Duobao, to aid them in proving their Grand Unity Dao.

Li Er agreed to their request, stating that he could reserve two positions as Imperial Tutors for the Five Emperors of Humanity.

Yuanshi and Tongtian had initially hoped for the positions of Imperial Tutor to the Three Sovereigns of Humanity. Upon hearing that only positions for the Five Emperors were available, they were somewhat surprised but remained composed.

Ultimately, Li Er decided to appoint Xuandu as the sole Imperial Tutor to the Three Sovereigns of Humanity, leaving him with only the positions for the Five Emperors.

If Li Er were to announce this decision, any observer would surely harbor doubts.

The one speaking at this moment was none other than Li Er himself! This immediately sparked thought and astonishment among the people.

As Saints, they understood the profound difference between the Three Sovereigns and the Five Emperors.

Although the names were merely a simple arrangement, the difference between them was as vast as heaven and earth.

In the future of the Human Race, only the Three Sovereigns would become Saints, while the names of the Five Emperors would not be passed down to later generations.

This meant that while the achievements of the Five Emperors were admirable, they were not as great as those of the Three Sovereigns.

And as the Imperial Tutor to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the status was even more noble and closely related to this.

The Imperial Tutor to the Three Sovereigns would have a greater chance of enjoying the treatment of a Saint of the Human Race in the future, while the achievements of the Imperial Tutor to the Five Emperors might not necessarily match those of the Imperial Tutor to the Three Sovereigns.

Therefore, there was a fundamental gap between the two.

Yuanshi and Tongtian had previously considered themselves to hold two of the Imperial Tutor positions for the Three Sovereigns.

They had expected to choose disciples with the highest potential from the Heavenly Origin Sect and the Intercepting Sect, excluding their senior disciples, to serve as Imperial Tutors for the Five Emperors.

However, Li Er's decision caught them completely off guard.

He directly announced that the Imperial Tutor positions for the Three Sovereigns would be entirely entrusted to Xuandu alone.

This left both Yuanshi and Tongtian bewildered, as they had initially believed Xuandu to be merely a direct disciple of Taiqing.

They could not comprehend why Li Er would choose to make Xuandu the sole Imperial Tutor.

They were speechless in the face of this decision and fell into deep contemplation.

After a long while, they gradually recovered from their shock.

Yuanshi and Tongtian could not let go of their persistent desires.

They had heard that their junior disciple Xuandu possessed extraordinary talent and both wished to recruit him into their own factions, even wanting him to become the sole Imperial Tutor to the Three Sovereigns to accumulate destiny.

However, faced with Li Er's firm stance, they knew deep down that this was an impossible matter.

After the exchange of words, they fell silent, lamenting that both the Heavenly Origin Sect and the Intercepting Sect would have no connection to the Three Sovereigns becoming Saints.

Yuanshi and Tongtian exchanged glances, then had no choice but to accept reality, letting out a sigh and saying no more.

Li Er glanced at them, reminding them not to blame him for his coldness, as Xuandu had long been designated by him as the future sole Imperial Tutor, and this decision would not change.

Among the Human Race, Fuxi's progress was swift, just as Li Er had predicted.

Despite losing his former magical powers and cultivation, as a reincarnation of the Human Race's destiny, he possessed the demeanor of a great sage from birth.

After becoming Xuandu's disciple, he ascended to new heights.

Upon taking over the Fengyan Tribe, Fuxi, with Xuandu's guidance and his own cultivation, easily resolved various challenges, leading the tribe in domesticating wild beasts and developing livestock farming.

Xuandu and the others were pleased with Fuxi's progress and looked forward to his future contributions to the Human Race.

The people of the Fengyan Tribe bid farewell to their former life of hunting risks.

They no longer needed to venture into dangerous mountains ** , as they had a stable food source.

All these changes were thanks to Fuxi's outstanding leadership.

He successfully developed the Fengyan Tribe from a small-scale settlement into a large tribe, and his wisdom and contributions spread to other tribes as well.

As the Fengyan Tribe rose, surrounding tribes, both large and small, chose to pledge their allegiance.

Fuxi was not only highly respected for his reputation as a naturally gifted sage but also highly esteemed because of his master—Dao Venerable Xuandu—the great protector of the Human Race.

People yearned to become Xuandu's ** , following this Saint's disciple.

In a short time, the Fengyan Tribe, like a prairie fire, grew from a small tribe into a core tribe of the Human Race, its scale nearly surpassing all other human tribes.

Therefore, Fuxi was elected Co-Lord of Humanity by the various tribes of the Human Race.

The Co-Lord represented the collective will of numerous tribes, serving as the master of the Human Race.

This also meant he became the common owner of the Human Race.

However, the elevation in status also meant an increase in responsibility.

After becoming the Co-Lord of Humanity, Fuxi faced more and more challenges.

Fortunately, he was not alone; with Xuandu's support behind him, he gradually adapted to and dealt with these challenges.

A hundred years later, Fuxi succeeded in making the Human Race completely self-reliant.

At this moment, a flash of inspiration struck his mind—it was the awakening of the Yao Fuxi's Primordial Spirit.

As the Co-Lord of Humanity, he was blessed with the Human Race's destiny, possessed exceptional innate talent, and cultivated at an extremely rapid pace.

As his cultivation deepened, the memories deep within his heart gradually awakened, bringing fragments of his past life.

Using these fragments, Fuxi reformed the Yao script, creating the written language of the Human Race for record-keeping.

He also invented musical instruments like the pottery xun and the qin, and composed music and songs.
