After returning home, Chen Xuan took out a ginseng as thick as a child's arm. This was a specialty of the Primordial World, a rare immortal treasure. After taking a photo, he uploaded it to his KouKou space...

At this time, KouKou space was still in the "emo" era...

Guys dancing like demons, so chuunibyou every day...

There were also songs like "Heartbreak 2009" and "Mistake, Mistake, Mistake" that permeated half the internet, because Zheng Yuan regretted it every day, and Liu Zhe made mistakes every day...

"Lady Nuwa... have some white porridge, and pickled beans, pickled cucumbers..." Chen Xuan prepared some breakfast. As a southerner, white porridge with pickled vegetables was a normal morning.

"Okay..." Nuwa didn't shy away, curious about what kind of grains from later generations were delicious.

"Shouldn't you immortals maintain your purity and choose to abstain from grains, not eating mortal food?" Chen Xuan was very surprised.

Nuwa's clear and beautiful face lifted slightly. She picked up a porcelain bowl and tasted it. It wasn't as bad as she imagined. After all, there was no spiritual energy. She said, "That's true. Since I've come to the later generations, I should enjoy life. Moreover, if I eat mortal food, it won't cause any impurity. Only beings with a weak foundation will have a turbid body and blocked impurities..."

"That leaves me speechless." Chen Xuan smiled, but he was looking forward to taking Lady Nuwa to farm and live a good life in the future. It was a pleasant fantasy.

Knock, knock, knock...

There were a few knocks on the door...

"Is Little Xuanzi home?"

A shout from outside. It was the Village Chief, Chen Wei, smiling as he arrived. A university student returning home to start a business was definitely a hot topic in the surrounding villages. In this era, many people were heading to big cities for better development.

The Village Chief, puffing on his long-stemmed pipe, arrived with a smile. His eyes immediately fell on a woman in ancient white clothing, standing gracefully. She was as fair as jade, looking like she didn't belong in the mortal world. He was stunned on the spot.

"Hey! Village Chief, what are you looking at..." Chen Xuan lightly kicked him. How dare he covet Lady Nuwa, he was asking for trouble!

"Oh... oh..." The Village Chief immediately snapped out of his daze, feeling a little ashamed. An old man like him staring blankly at a woman was truly embarrassing. He then said cautiously, "You're quite something! You just broke up with the village flower from next door, and you've already found a fairy? Even movie stars don't have her elegance, nobility, coldness, grace, and generosity..."

"Of course..." Chen Xuan readily admitted. Nuwa was a goddess from the Primordial World, a true peerless beauty. Who in this world could compare?

"Alright... aren't you coming back to develop the countryside? What are your plans? I've been the Village Chief for over twenty years, and I haven't been of any use. As long as you can lead the whole village to prosperity, I'll hand over the Village Chief position to you immediately..."

"I've heard that bosses in the city have hundreds of people employed in a single factory, driving local industries. Even the landlady collecting rent next door makes tens of thousands a month."

"Zhang Qiang, a former troublemaker in our village, dropped out of junior high and went out to work. After three to five years of hardship, he's now worth hundreds of thousands working with a boss in the internet industry..."

The Village Chief was very envious, looking forward to Chen Xuan devising a way out.

Chen Xuan stroked his chin with one hand. Indeed, all industries were entering a period of explosive growth. Without a certain vision for the times, it was hard to become a leader.

Most people followed the trend and could only get a small share of the pie, making a little money. To become truly rich, one needed to ride the wave of the era.

"Our Chen Family Village is remote and mountainous. We definitely can't do anything with the internet or build factories. How have the fields been doing recently?" Chen Xuan could only adapt to local conditions.

"There's nothing special in the village recently. We've planted over ten mu of watermelons, and the rest are cantaloupes, oranges, plums, corn, peanuts, and we also raise fish..." the Village Chief briefly introduced.

There were several large reservoirs in the village. Some people raised large fish, some sold small fish. Other crops weren't very profitable. Watermelon cultivation happened to be in the summer...

A watermelon, according to the prices in 2010, was only a few yuan. Going to an internet cafe cost one yuan per hour. A headache or fever could be treated with pain relievers for about ten cents...

"The market for watermelons this year isn't good. I'm afraid they'll rot in the fields. Your family also rented over five mu of land to plant watermelons. Alas... what do you think we should do? The village really has no way out." The Village Chief scratched his head. His hair had turned white in his fifties and sixties.

"Okay... I'll think of a way." Chen Xuan nodded. Since he was back home, he would develop it well.

"Haha... university students really have drive." The Village Chief nodded in satisfaction. He glanced at Nuwa again. She was too beautiful, making him feel inadequate and unable to harbor any disrespectful thoughts.

Nuwa had been watching their conversation and had some understanding. Life in later generations was so difficult. She wondered why the path to immortality was broken?

"Kid... is there any way to quickly understand the later generations?" Nuwa couldn't use her abilities. Otherwise, with her peak Grand Unity Golden Immortal strength, she could understand the trajectory of the world with a single thought.

"Yes..." Chen Xuan didn't waste words. He took Nuwa into the room, rummaged through boxes and cabinets, and took out a book titled "Five Thousand Years of China." He also turned on the color TV at home so they could quickly understand modernization.

"Today's news: The national development direction is to fully develop coastal areas, promote related industries, and accelerate another project: export rebates converted to rural subsidies, promoting the widespread use of various home appliances in rural areas..."

"Farmers are simple, and farmers are the future of the country..."

The host on TV was beautiful and spoke with conviction. It was no wonder that in this era, those who paid attention to the news and followed the country's direction almost all became rich.

This was the wave of the era...

"This thing is quite interesting. There's actually someone talking, and it seems like someone is living inside. In the Primordial World, we can only manifest things with divine powers." Nuwa was slightly surprised. This later generation, without spiritual energy, had developed such miraculous things.

She also looked at the history book and roughly understood the "Five Thousand Years of China"...

"The route of Chinese civilization is only about five thousand years old. It seems to be vastly different from the development of the Primordial World?" Nuwa raised a question. Time was not recorded in the Primordial World. A short period of seclusion could last hundreds of thousands or millions of years. How terrifying!

Chen Xuan shook his head and said, "We haven't even figured out the 'Classic of Mountains and Seas,' so how can we understand the cause and effect? Especially in this era, there are no immortals, gods, or demons. Perhaps they have opened up a certain space..."

Nuwa elegantly closed the book and said, "I will figure it out sooner or later..."

"You've finished reading?" Chen Xuan was very surprised.

"Cultivators have photographic memories. When we return to the Primordial World, I'll teach you how to cultivate." Nuwa looked up, her dignified and noble aura completely out of place in the countryside.

"Okay..." Chen Xuan was looking forward to it. He wondered if they could go back again, yet he was also vaguely reluctant. After all, it would be difficult to "kidnap" Nuwa once she returned.

The sun began to shine intensely, around ten o'clock. Chen Xuan couldn't take Nuwa to the fields for a vigorous rice harvest...

"Kid... it's time to talk about the Primordial World. Don't have any bad ideas. I can crush you with a single finger." After watching TV for a while, Nuwa found it a bit boring.

"Do you really want to know?" Chen Xuan was very serious. As an outsider concerned about world development, it was easy to cause plot deviations.

"Yes... I want to see the development of the Primordial World, and why there are no immortals or gods in the later generations?" Nuwa wanted to anticipate the future and make good plans.

Chen Xuan nodded and said, "Describe the current situation. I'm ultimately looking at legends from later generations and don't understand much..."

"Okay... My elder brother Fuxi and I only emerged a million years ago. We've been confined to Buzhou Mountain cultivating. Recently, the Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, and the Qilin Clan have been occupying vast territories in the Primordial World. A war is inevitable..." Nuwa revealed everything without reservation.

"The era you're in is roughly the early Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation. Hongjun hasn't attained the Dao yet. After the tribulation, he will immediately become a Saint and preach in the thirty-third heaven..."

"This is considered the second great tribulation of the Primordial World—the Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation. It was Luohu who provoked conflict in the West, orchestrating the mutual slaughter of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans, creating endless karmic sin. This helped him achieve the Demonic Dao in one fell swoop, and it's also considered the conflict between Dao and Demon..."

Chen Xuan explained a portion of what he knew.

He also downloaded several novels, such as Buddha is Dao, Rebirth into Hunyuan Dao, Senior Brother is a Bit Cautious...

And Investiture of the Gods, Journey to the West...

This immediately infuriated Nuwa to the point where smoke billowed from her ears.

How dare her unworthy descendants in later generations fabricate stories about her...

The most infuriating part was being added to a harem
