After Guang Chengzi left in embarrassment, Xihe and Chang Xi did not stay long.
They just gently encouraged Fuxi with a few words, asking him to stick to his heart and find a way out for Human Race. They said that the opportunity might come soon, and then they turned into the moonlight and quietly left, as if they had never appeared.
Fuxi stood there, feeling a slight wave of emotion in his heart.
The recruitment of Guang Chengzi and the protection of the two fairies made him more clearly aware of the specialness of his own path.
He is not pursuing personal transcendence. His mission is to connect with the land under his feet and the blood of thousands of his fellow humans. The aura hidden deep in Sea of Consciousness becomes more active because of this firm belief, as if it may break out of the cocoon at any time.
However, the real dilemma is still like a heavy shackle, firmly restraining Human Race's progress.
Shortly after Guang Chengzi left, a violent storm hit Yellow River Basin without warning.
It is not an ordinary wind and rain. It is actually mixed with the power of Nine Heavens Gale and Gui Water Yin Thunder. Although it is extremely thin and far from the power of monks fighting, for weak mortals, it is a disaster!
Feng Gun Tribe Thanks to the method of strengthening the house taught by Fuxi in advance, the damage can still be controlled.
However, several small settlements downstream that relied on the Feng Gun Tribe suffered a devastating blow.
The flood carried mud and rocks and rushed down, destroying the newly built homes and swallowing up the tribesmen who had no time to escape.
When the wind and rain subsided, Fuxi led the young men of the Feng Gun Tribe to rush to the rescue. All they saw was a mess and countless grief-stricken cries.
They dug out the buried remains from the mud and comforted the orphans and widowed mothers who had lost their loved ones.
Looking at the despairing and numb faces, watching those lives that were alive yesterday turned into cold soil in a blink of an eye, Fuxi's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, and the suffocating pain and deep feeling of powerlessness almost overwhelmed him.
He improved fishing nets so that the tribesmen could obtain food more easily; he built houses so that the tribesmen could avoid wind and cold; he identified herbs so that the tribesmen could fight against diseases; he created writing so that knowledge could be passed on... He did everything he could think of, but all these efforts seemed so insignificant and vulnerable in the face of the power of heaven and earth!
"Why... why I still can't protect them..."
Fuxi stood on a muddy ruins, letting a mixture of rain and tears flow down his cheeks. His fists were clenched, his nails dug deeply into his palms, and he was not aware of the blood seeping out.
Huge frustration came like a tide.
For the first time, he had doubts about himself, his own wisdom, and the path he was taking.
If the lives of the tribesmen cannot be saved, what is the point of all those improvements and creations?
He pushed away the tribesmen who wanted to follow him, and walked aimlessly along the bank of the Wei River river alone.
Wei River is an important tributary of the Yellow River. At this moment, the river water has become turbid and turbulent due to the heavy rain in the upper reaches, roaring and rushing eastward, as if mocking his incompetence.
The sky was still gloomy, with leaden gray clouds hanging low, making people breathless.
Fuxi We walked to a river bend where the water flow was relatively gentle and there were large areas of smooth pebbles on the shore.
He sat down tiredly on a huge bluestone and looked at the surging river, his eyes empty and his heart full of confusion and self-denial.
"Could it be that... Human Race can only live like this forever, lingering in the gap between heaven and earth, resigned to fate?"
He muttered to himself, his voice hoarse and desperate.
Just when his mind was most agitated and his belief was almost shaken, a sudden change occurred!
On the surface of the originally turbulent Wei River river, near the bend where he was, the water suddenly started rolling as if it were boiling. Waves of auspicious energy came out from the bottom of the water, and waves of auspicious light dispersed the dark clouds above!
Immediately afterwards, the water surface parted, and a huge creature slowly emerged from the water.
It was actually a strange beast with the head of a dragon and the body of a turtle!
Its tortoise shell is as wide as a small land mass, and is covered with ancient and mysterious natural patterns. They are not carved from acquired sources, but seem to be patterns created by heaven and earth.
The dragon's head is majestic, its eyes are like bright stars, and it exudes a gentle and vast aura.
The most eye-catching thing is that Dragon Turtle is holding two items firmly on its thick back armor.
A picture scroll that seems to be condensed by the brilliance of endless stars, and a jade book that seems to carry the geographical secrets of rivers, lakes, seas, mountains and rivers.
On the scroll, the stars are arranged with clear trajectories, which contain the ultimate principles of the movement of the heavens; in the jade book, the water veins are rushing and the earth's energy is rising, explaining the mystery of the earth's veins.
The two treasures complement each other, emitting endless light of Dao Charm and wisdom, making the entire river bend look divine!
It's that Innate Spiritual Treasure--River Diagram and Luo Book!
Dragon Turtle slowly swam to the shore, his huge head lowered slightly, and presented the carapace carrying River Diagram and Luo Book in front of Fuxi.
Its eyes are gentle and full of spirituality.
Fuxi had already been shocked by this sudden sight Divine Mark and stood up.
Once his eyes came into contact with that River Diagram and Luo Book, he could no longer look away!
It's as if a long drought is followed by sweet rain!
A kind of throbbing and resonance originating from the depths of his soul exploded in his mind like a bell!
The fog that had troubled him for a long time, the confusion that had entangled him for a long time, actually began to melt in front of the Dao Charm emanating from these two treasures!
He didn't know what kind of treasure it was, but he could clearly feel that it had a great fate with him, as if it was a part of his body and a carrier for the extension of his wisdom!
The star trajectories on the scroll and the geographical context in the jade book all told him the most original and profound laws between heaven and earth!
Lingtai is as clear as ever!
In the depths of Sea of Consciousness, the spiritual light sealed by the power of reincarnation flickered violently with an unprecedented frequency. Countless fragments of insights about deduction, hexagrams, and the evolution of civilization surged out like a flood that broke a bank, blending and colliding crazily with the artistic conception conveyed by River Diagram and Luo Book in front of you!
Fuxi reached out his hand involuntarily, trembling, and slowly touched the scroll of starlight.
When his fingertips touched the cold and mysterious material, the whole world seemed to have completely changed in his perception!
There is no longer chaos and disorder, no longer lurking crises, the movement of the sun, moon and stars, the veins of the rivers and the earth, the changes in the solar terms... everything has been transformed into traceable symbols and laws, clearly presented before his "eyes"!
"So... that's what it is!!"
Fuxi's body shook violently, and his eyes burst out with light as bright as the rising sun. All confusion, frustration, and powerlessness disappeared at this moment!
He understood, and he finally found the key that could open up a new world for Human Race!
When Dragon Turtle saw that Fuxi had obtained the treasure and understood the mystery, it let out a low, gratifying dragon roar, and slowly sank into the Wei River and disappeared, as if its mission had been completed.
By the river bend, only Fuxi was left, holding River Diagram and Luo Book tightly, as if he was holding the entire future of Human Race.
He looked up at the sky that had cleared up, his eyes firm and fiery.
Above the clouds, Xihe Changxi saw this scene, smiled at each other, and dispersed.
