Suiren Shi, a low-key yet special existence.
As the great one who ignited the fire of civilization and the ancestor of all surnames... however, in the legends of the Human Race, his halo seemed somewhat dim. Compared to Fuxi, Nuwa, Shennong, the Yellow Emperor, and others, he was slightly inferior.
In various versions of the genealogies of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Fuxi and Shennong were always on the list, permanent fixtures.
But Suiren...
His position as Human King was unstable, facing immense challenges from those who came later!
He was indeed one of the Human Kings, but could he ascend to the position of Sage Emperor of the Human Race?
It seemed unlikely.
Even Feng Xi had once overlooked this existence, simply grouping him with other Human Kings like Youchao Shi, judging him as someone to be respected, but only respected.
However, now, Great Sage Fuxi had taught him a lesson, making him realize the extraordinary nature of this low-key king!
"Suiren took fire..." Fuxi sighed softly, "What he took was no ordinary fire."
"Ordinary fire... what is it worth in this Primordial Era world?"
"He ignited the fire of civilization, the fire of the Human Dao, illuminating a dark age and guiding countless beings from confusion to awakening!"
"The sun can illuminate the heavens and the earth, but it cannot illuminate the human heart... Suiren achieved it!"
"He left the most brilliant fire in the Human Dao, a spark in the heart of every living being..."
"From then on, the Human Dao seized the opportunity for eternal prosperity, opening the path to eternity."
Feng Xi listened to Great Sage Fuxi's words, his expression moved.
He could hardly imagine what kind of magnificent epic lay behind this, how many commendable efforts and struggles!
At the same time, he was also somewhat puzzled.
"Such a great and noble figure, why have I heard so little about him?"
"In countless Primordial legends, he is always glossed over, not even willing to mention him much..."
"With such achievements, he must have a supreme title in the world, right? What kind of Great Divine Ability User is he?"
A fleeting, strange expression crossed Fuxi's face. After a long silence, he slowly said, "Suiren, Suiren Emperor... I can't quite explain his situation."
"He seems to exist and not exist, perhaps a remnant of spirit, or perhaps a persistent obsession, enduring through all ages, indestructible through countless tribulations..."
"Sealed by the dust of the era, buried, abandoned, a solitary soul wandering, sighing at the changing epochs? Or feeling emotional?"
Feng Xi inexplicably felt a sense of desolation and sadness.
"However... perhaps it's not all bad?" Great Sage Fuxi stroked his chin, "Although rarely mentioned, the traces and information of this 'rarity' are all positive, far from worldly disputes, leaving a pure land for himself."
Fuxi chuckled, "Look, in those countless true and false legends, how many of us active Great Divine Ability Users are not slandered?"
"The Three Pure Ones, Jieyin and Zhunti, Kunpeng... they are all victims!"
"And my sister... even the great merit of creating humans and mending the heavens couldn't prevent slander. She was still viewed with prejudice, inexplicably labeled – either a heartless Saint or a lovesick woman."
"Only I am better off... I am usually kind to others and make friends. Those Great Divine Ability Users with some fame and power, when they talk about me behind my back, they all give a thumbs-up and praise me."
Fuxi sighed, lamenting the ways of the world and how difficult it was to be famous.
In response, the little Phoenix beside him stared at him with a very strange and peculiar gaze, constantly staring.
"Hmm... the topic has strayed a bit." Fuxi endured the Phoenix's gaze, his expression unchanged. "Little one, after saying so much, what I want to tell you is... even if our kind transforms infinitely and exists in endless time and space, leaving behind legends and bloodlines."
"You may not necessarily have a direct connection with me – your lineage might belong to Suiren Emperor, diverging from mine." Fuxi smiled, "However, what you said is not entirely unreasonable... All people with the same surname are family. You can barely be considered half of my junior."
"It's one thing that you didn't encounter me, but now that we've met, and you're doing so poorly... I understand that I can't just stand by and not offer some help to you, my junior."
Never before had Feng Xi felt Great Sage Fuxi to be so handsome! So dashing! So wise and mighty! So great and noble!
The way he was about to bestow a reward made Feng Xi feel that even the vastness of the four seas and countless words of praise could not describe even a fraction of it!
'Praise Great Sage Fuxi!'
Feng Xi's expression was sincere, and he assumed a posture of pilgrimage.
Fuxi chuckled, feeling somewhat helpless and speechless. "Actually, I think that with your thick skin and your spirit of desperately seizing every opportunity to improve yourself and climb upwards, you will do well no matter what your starting point is."
"Whether you receive my bestowal or not is actually not important... it's just a matter of time to reach the final achievement."
"If I can get there one day earlier, why wait until later?" Feng Xi blinked, "This world is too dangerous. I'm actually very scared and wish I could hide and cultivate until I reach the peak of Grand Unity or even attain Grand Unity before venturing out."
"Unfortunately, the four essentials of cultivation – wealth, companions, dharma, and land... all of these require resources."
"Without resources to accelerate, relying on myself to absorb the primal energy of heaven and earth, when will that day come?"
"The Witch-Demon War could break out at any time. It might be millions of years from now, or it might be a few days from now... The uncertainty of time forces me to improve as quickly as possible, achieving the greatest success in the shortest amount of time."
"This dictates that I must use some unconventional methods of improvement – like Lord Zhu Jiuyin's Time Secret Realm, where one day outside is equivalent to one epoch inside."
"But the Time Secret Realm... that also costs money!"
The entire Witch Clan has trillions of minor witches. Feng Xi didn't have enough influence to ask the Ancestral Witch to waive his fees for him to cultivate inside.
The most important thing for an organization is fair rewards and punishments; rules cannot be broken. Not to mention unspoken rules, but on the surface, they must not be violated!
Only with merit can one be rewarded and receive more resources... otherwise, if morale collapses, the Witch Clan's ranks will be unsustainable.
This forces elites with aspirations and ambitions to consider other ways to earn money... Just staying in the Witch Clan's base camp, relying on a fixed salary to cultivate, seems safe.
But, that will inevitably lead to mediocrity... Once the Witch-Demon Cataclysm begins, there's a high chance of becoming cannon fodder!
It is precisely because of this that Feng Xi opened up channels to earn a fortune outside the Witch Clan, which received unanimous support and endorsement.
Every witch has an intelligence level above average and knows the predicament they will face in the future.
Rather than dying slowly, it's better to take a gamble!
Great Sage Fuxi shook his head, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
"I can give you a small gift. As for how far you can go in the future, it depends on your own abilities." He pointed with one hand, and a small cabinet beside him opened, revealing its interior space to Feng Xi's eyes.
The moment the cabinet door opened, a "crackling" sound rang out, and a pile of miscellaneous items fell out.
Some were fragments of jade, like the remains of shattered jadeware.
Some were beads with a chaotic hue, a large pile rolling everywhere.
Others were strangely shaped lotus flowers... golden, cyan, black.
There were even more unusual things, like light points and light clusters, emitting dazzling light.
And so on.
Countless items, too many to list.
Feng Xi looked at the scene, feeling a bit bewildered and clueless.
He looked hesitantly at Great Sage Fuxi, hoping for an answer.
"Choose one of these things yourself." The Fuxi Emperor waved his hand generously, "They weren't mine to begin with, so I don't feel any pain giving them away."
"Not yours?" Feng Xi asked in confusion.
"Of course," Fuxi nodded, "These items... were all obtained from some transmigrators."
"Some Grand Unity users were either stirring up trouble downstream of time, or recruiting personnel from the future like the Ancestral Witches... and they did it sneakily."
"It made my hands itch, so I sat here fishing through the years and caught quite a few."
"Unlike you guys recruited by the Ancestral Witches, who start with a blank slate,"
"They all come with their own golden fingers – 'cheats' mass-produced by Grand Unity users behind the scenes, hoping to stir up trouble in this era."
Feng Xi listened, his mouth twitching, his eyes wide open.
To have a cheat golden finger and transmigrate to the Primordial Era... he was so envious!
But then, he wasn't envious anymore.
If the 'golden fingers' were all here, then those transmigrators...
Their fate was dire!
Great Sage Fuxi's next words confirmed his thoughts, "Alas... I, Fuxi, am a benevolent god."
"I usually don't kill, and I'm always amiable."
"If these transmigrating fellows had righteous intentions and were willing to strive for a better Primordial Era, I would wave my hand and let them go, allowing them to roam the Primordial Era with their golden fingers... perhaps they could add a splash of color to this era?"
"If they still cherished their past lives and didn't want to transmigrate... I would also do a good deed and send them back to their original timeline, granting them continued life."
Great Sage Fuxi sighed, "Both of these outcomes are good... but alas, there are always some fellows who don't know their place."
"They come to this era only to cause harm... either they only think of burning, killing, and looting, and enslaving others; or they want to build a harem and collect goddesses from all sides..."
"Tsk tsk tsk, such great courage and ambition... things I wouldn't even dare to imagine!"
"So, I directly sent them to their coveted targets, encouraging them to attack... perhaps they could exude an aura of dominance, making Grand Unity users kneel? Or perhaps, a female divine being would fall for them at first sight and throw herself into their arms?"
"What a pity..." Fuxi lamented, "I've played matchmaker so many times, but none of them have ever succeeded."
Feng Xi looked at Fuxi, trembling at that moment.
So terrifying!
"Alas, enough about past events..." Fuxi smiled, "Come, choose one you fancy from these?"
