Zhuanxu Separates Heaven from Earth!
With a cry, Changyi's son was born. The baby was born wearing Ge and Ge formed from the essence of the Star of Yaoguang, and the words "Sacred Virtue" were written on his head.
Overjoyed, Changyi named his son Zhuanxu, Gao Yang Clan!
When his elder brother Shaohao was born, there were unusual signs, and he was given important positions by their father Xuanyuan Shi. However Changyi himself was not talented or virtuous enough and was enfeoffed by his father to Ruoshui.
Now, his own son, Changyi, is also born with extraordinary signs and will surely become a great sage of the human race in the future.
Just as Changyi was envisioning the future, the Golden Spirit Mother appeared and Changyi:
"Changyi, I am Jin Ling, Direct Disciple of the Saint Tongtian of the Interception Sect. I have come today specifically to accept your son, Gao Yang Clan disciple."
The Sect Master Tongtian didn't send Duobao this time, because he couldn't let Duobao have all the good things, otherwise it would cause dissatisfaction among his other Direct Disciple.
Even the Golden Spirit Mother hadn't expected that she would be the one taking care of the baby this time.
"Immortal, may I ask what your relationship is with the Duobao, the teacher of Earth Emperor Shennong?"
Although Changyi had never heard of the name Golden Spirit Mother, he had heard of the Interception Sect and the Daoist Duobao, which is why he inquired about the relationship between the Golden Spirit Mother and the Daoist Duobao.
"Duobao is my senior brother!"
The Golden Spirit Mother truthfully told Changyi about her relationship with Daoist Duobao.
"My lord, Changyi bold as to ask a question?"
After Changyi confirmed the relationship between Golden Spirit Mother and Daoist Duobao, he had a guess in his mind. Before he could finish speaking, Golden Spirit Mother interrupted him.
"That's exactly what you think!"
The Golden Spirit Mother clearly understood what Changyi was thinking, and thus gave him the answer he wanted.
Changyi was overjoyed after receiving the reply. Although everyone looked down on him and he himself was not good enough, his newborn son was a good one!
His son, Zhuanxu, was born with extraordinary signs and was taken in by immortals, while his elder brother, Shaohao, although born with extraordinary signs, did not attract immortals to take him in.
Even if his son Zhuanxu's future achievements are not as great as his father Xuanyuan Shi's, they should be about the same.
Just as Changyi thought of the Xuanyuan Shi, he saw the Xuanyuan Shi arrive on a cloud.
The Human Emperor Xuanyuan, who was in the capital, noticed unusual phenomena in Ruoshui, the fiefdom of his son Changyi, and rushed over to investigate.
"I have met Father!"
Upon seeing his father, Xuanyuan Shi, Changyi quickly bowed and paid his respects, fearing that if the other party became displeased, he would be exiled like his sister, Nu Ba.
Chapter 628 Zhuanxu the Connection Between Heaven and Earth!
After gesturing for his son Changyi to dispense with the formalities, Human Emperor Xuanyuan turned his gaze to the infant in Changyi's arms and Jin Ling Golden Mother him.
The Golden Spirit Mother bowed respectfully to Human Emperor Xuanyuan.
"Jin Ling, Direct Disciple of the Interception Sect, greets the Human Emperor Xuanyuan!"
Although the Golden Spirit Mother knew that the Human Emperor Xuanyuan was the reincarnation of Five-Clawed Golden Dragon of the Dragon Clan, she still addressed him Human Emperor, simply because he was now human!
After Human Emperor Xuanyuan gestured for the Golden Spirit Mother to dispense with the formalities, he inquired:
"Jin Ling, is my grandson among humans my successor in the human race?"
In fact, after seeing the Jie Sect Disciple, the Golden Spirit Mother, Xuanyuan Shi had already guessed the truth.
Xuanyuan Shi always believed that his eldest son, Shaohao, would be the first of the Five Emperors and his successor among the human race. Little did he know that he had guessed wrong.
"Yes!"
Golden Spirit Mother openly admitted that she was not afraid of the Xuanyuan Shi finding out. If the other party dared to cause trouble, then they should be prepared to bear the wrath of her master, the Sect Master Tongtian!
After receiving the reply from the Golden Spirit Mother, Human Emperor Xuanyuan smiled wryly and said:
"Being able to be assisted by the Interception Sect means at least you won't end up like me!"
Human Emperor Xuanyuan felt that if the Interception Sect had assisted him in regaining his throne, he wouldn't have ended up in such a state.
"Rest assured, Your Human Emperor, Master Tongtian has made all the arrangements."
The Golden Spirit Mother bowed to the Human Emperor Xuanyuan, knowing that this once great deity was about to meet his end, just like Fuxi.
In the following period, Golden Spirit Mother began to take care of the child. Of course, the main responsibility for taking care of the child was the couple Changyi and his wife. Golden Spirit Mother only taught little Zhuanxu some things.
In the blink of an eye, Zhuanxu was almost eight years old.
The twenty-year period that Bai Chen gave to the Xuanyuan Shi is almost up, and Yuanfeng, who was hiding in the shadows, has appeared.
"Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, it's time for you to go. Hand over the Witch-Slaying Sword!"
Yuanfeng asked Human Emperor Xuanyuan for the Witch-Slaying Sword. She knew very well that after helping Xuanyuan Shi defeat Chi You, the Witch-Slaying Sword had been gilded and was now known as the Human Emperor Sword.
The value of this Witch-Slaying Sword has increased considerably; this kind of treasure absolutely must be taken.
Having resigned himself to his fate, Xuanyuan Shi handed the Witch-Slaying Sword to Yuanfeng and mocked Yuanfeng, saying:
"Yuanfeng, although I am to be placed under house arrest at the Fire Cloud Palace, your pawn, my son Shaohao, has failed to become Five Emperors. You have lost this game as well."
Xuanyuan Shi dared to say that his eldest son, Shaohao, was close to the Phoenix Clan and established a human tribal alliance called the Phoenix Bird Clan, which was closely related to Yuanfeng.
"Uh~"
Yuanfeng was a little embarrassed, and explained:
"Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, Little White possesses the Kongtong Seal. If I truly desire the Five Emperors, I can simply ask Little White to arrange for me to be reincarnated Phoenix Clan!"
Yuanfeng felt that Xuanyuan Shi was really overthinking things. Shaohao's close relationship with the Phoenix Clan and the establishment of the Phoenix Bird Clan did have some connection with the Phoenix Clan, but she never intended for him to become Five Emperors!
Given his relationship with Bai Chen, if he really wanted Shaohao to become Five Emperors, he could simply go and talk to Bai Chen about it.
"Forehead!"
The Human Emperor Xuanyuan left the place in embarrassment. He then decided to help his future successor, his grandson Zhuanxu, by sending Zhuanxu away from Ruoshui to assist his eldest son, Shaohao, in managing the Phoenix Bird Clan Tribal Alliance.
Shaohao: My dear father, you're about to leave us, yet you still want to trick your son for the sake of your grandson, so that Zhuanxu can inherit my family business!
Not long after, the Human Emperor Xuanyuan rode a dragon to the Fire Cloud Palace. The human race tried to persuade him to stay, but they could only keep the Human Emperor Xuanyuan's clothes and hat. The human race could only bury Xuanyuan Shi's clothes and hat at Qiaoshan.
Zhuanxu came to his Uncle Shaohao's Phoenix Clan tribal alliance and followed Shaohao to learn how to manage the tribal alliance.
As time passed and Zhuanxu grew up, problems began to arise among the human race due to the departure of the Human Emperor Xuanyuan.
Especially those older human clans and tribes, when the Human Emperor Xuanyuan was still alive, he treated those ancient tribes with various preferential treatments, so those tribes were able to behave obediently.
But once the Human Emperor Xuanyuan left, those ancient clans and tribes, such as the Feng Clan Tribe of the Heavenly Emperor Fuxi, the Jiang Clan Tribe of the Earth Emperor Shennong, and the Hougang clan of the Historian Cang Jie, became less obedient.
Meanwhile, the Jiuli Tribe, due to the deal between Houtu and Sect Master Tongtian, began to stir again.
Although Shaohao was capable, he still faced immense pressure due to internal and external troubles.
Those ancient human tribes within the region either possess profound cultural heritage or were ancestors of some human sage.
This meant that Shaohao couldn't suppress them too much and could only appease them with courtesy.
With the Jiuli Tribe coming on strong from the outside, Shaohao had no choice but to lead the Fengniao clan to attack the Jiuli Tribe.
However, the Jiuli Tribe is now under the leadership of a high shaman from the Gonggong clan. Without the help of Shaohao and gods, the outcome is predictable.
Shaohao's campaigns against the Jiuli Tribe ultimately yielded no results.
In the blink of an eye, Zhuanxu was almost twenty years old, while Shaohao, due to his long-term concern for the human race, eventually fell ill from overwork.
Before his death, Shaohao passed on the leadership of the Phoenix Bird Clan tribal alliance to Zhuanxu.
Before he was twenty, Zhuanxu became the leader of the Phoenix Bird Clan tribal alliance and launched a military campaign against the Jiuli Tribe.
Because Houtu and Sect Master Tongtian had already discussed all of this, Zhuanxu indeed defeated the Gonggong clan's chief shaman who was stationed in the Jiuli Tribe, and the Jiuli Tribe submitted to him.
After Zhuanxu defeated the Jiuli Tribe, those ancient clans and tribes of the human race also saw that Zhuanxu had the potential to Human Emperor, so they became obedient and recognized Zhuanxu Co-Lord of Humanity.
And so Zhuanxu became the Co-Lord of Humanity.
After Zhuanxu became the Co-Lord of Humanity, he began to implement sweeping reforms.
Zhuanxu discovered that many small human tribes were actually worshipping a group of 'gods' in order to ensure good weather and abundant harvests!
To be precise, these 'gods' are just a group of beings who have attained enlightenment and become sentient, leading to the fact that everyone in human tribes and clans can communicate with the gods, and that sacrifices have become rampant.
Zhuanxu used extremely harsh methods to suppress these miscellaneous gods and prohibited human tribes from privately worshipping them.
Zhuanxu also established a list of gods to be worshipped by the human race, among whom Nuwa Mother Goddess who created humankind, and Bai Chen, who had helped the human race, were ranked first in the order of worship.
The second tier consists of the saints who helped the human race.
Zhuanxu was quite sensible; thankfully, he placed Bai Chen in the first order of offerings to the human race. Otherwise, Bai Chen would probably have come to talk to him and let him know what it means for a small fist to kill someone.
Zhuanxu established the official positions of Nan Zheng (Chong), who was in charge of celestial affairs and sacrifices, and Huo Zheng (Li), who was in charge of civil affairs, thus separating divine authority from civil authority.
Zhuanxu severed the connection between heaven and earth, cutting off the offerings and incense from various minor deities. As a result, these minor deities came to cause trouble for Zhuanxu and wreaked havoc among the human race.
The disciples of the Interception Sect, responsible for protecting Zhuanxu, took action to capture and kill these various spirits.
Among these various spirits, the lucky ones became mounts for the disciples of the Interception Sect, while the unlucky ones were killed and became materials for alchemy, weapon crafting, and array formation.
After Zhuanxu severed the connection between heaven and earth, he divided the human territory into nine provinces and assigned personnel to manage and supervise them.
Zhuanxu's reforms gave humankind the beginnings of a dynasty.
Later, Zhuanxu began to improve marriage customs. Times had changed, and marriage customs had to change as well.
Zhuanxu vigorously developed agriculture. He shared similar views with Shennong, the Earth Emperor Shennong, believing that the future of humanity depended primarily on agriculture, as hunting and fishing were ultimately not sustainable solutions.
Zhuanxu then created a system of rites and music, and established the solar terms.
As time passed, Zhuanxu's merits were fulfilled, and Bai Chen of the Wa Saint Palace finally had time to get to work.
"Today, Emperor Zhuanxu of the Human Race has subdued the Jiuli Tribe, severed the connection between Heaven and Earth, and reformed the Human Race. His merits are complete. I, Bai Chen, hereby bestow upon Zhuanxu the title of the first of the Five Emperors of the Human Race, and grant him the title of Emperor Zhuanxu!"
After Bai Chen conferred the title of Emperor Zhuanxu, he used the Kongtong Seal to bestow the Merit and Fortune of the Five Emperors and began to divide the spoils—no, the accounts—according to what they had agreed upon beforehand.
After Bai Chen and the others finished distributing the merits, they left one- Merit and Fortune for Zhuanxu, the first of the Five Emperors.
Bai Chen condensed this last bit of Merit and Fortune into the Five Emperors' Fruits and injected it into Zhuanxu's body.
