After returning home, Chen Xuan took out a ginseng root as thick as a child's arm. It was a special product of the Primordial World, an immortal treasure. After taking a photo, he uploaded it to KouKou Space...

At that time, KouKou Space was still in the Shamate era...

Those wild, dancing demons were all so embarrassingly childish every day...

Songs like "Heartache 2009" and "Wrong Wrong Wrong" spread across half the internet, because Zheng Yuan regretted everything every day, while "Wrong Wrong Wrong" made mistakes every day...

"Great God Nuwa... Come have some rice porridge, along with pickled beans and pickled cucumbers..." Chen Xuan prepared some breakfast. For a southerner, adding pickles to rice porridge was perfectly normal.

"Sure..." Nuwa did not hold back. She was quite curious about what the grains and coarse foods of later generations tasted like.

"Aren't immortals like you supposed to maintain your flawless, pure bodies, abstain from eating, and avoid worldly food?" Chen Xuan asked in surprise.

Nuwa's cold and stunning face lifted slightly. Holding a porcelain bowl, she took a small taste. It was not as unpleasant as she had imagined. After all, it contained no spiritual energy. She said, "That is indeed the case. Since I have come to the later age, I might as well enjoy life properly. Besides, eating mortal food will not make me impure. Only living beings with poor foundations develop turbid bodies, clogged with impurities..."

"That leaves me speechless." Chen Xuan laughed, though he was already looking forward to taking Great God Nuwa out to farm with him and living a wonderful life. What a pleasant fantasy.

Bang, bang, bang...

Someone knocked several times at the door...

"Little Xuanzi, are you there?"

A shout came from outside. It turned out that Village Chief Chen Wei had come over with a beaming smile. A university student returning home to start a business was definitely major news throughout the surrounding villages. In that era, many people went to the big cities in pursuit of better opportunities.

The village chief came over grinning, puffing on a large tobacco pipe. The moment he saw the ancient-style woman in white standing gracefully by the side, with jade-white skin and an otherworldly bearing, he froze on the spot.

"Hey! What are you staring at, Chief..." Chen Xuan lightly kicked the man. How dare he covet Great God Nuwa? He was practically asking to die!

"Oh... Oh..." The village chief immediately came back to himself, somewhat ashamed. An old man his age had been staring blankly at a woman. What a disgrace. He then asked cautiously, "You're quite something, kid! You just broke up with the neighboring village's beauty, and now you've picked up some fairy from somewhere. Even the famous actresses in movies don't have her bearing. She's noble and aloof, dignified and graceful..."

"Of course..." Chen Xuan simply admitted it. Nuwa was the Primordial Goddess, a genuine beauty without equal. Who in this world could compare with her?

"Enough... Didn't you come back to develop the countryside? What ideas do you have? I've been village chief for more than twenty years and haven't accomplished a thing. As long as you can make the whole village rich, I'll hand the position over to you immediately..."

"I heard the bosses in the cities employ hundreds of people in a single factory, driving the local industries forward. Even the landlady next door who lives off rent makes tens of thousands every month."

"Zhang Qiang, the village bully from back then, left to work before even graduating middle school. After struggling for three or five years, he got into some kind of internet business with a boss and already has a fortune worth hundreds of thousands..."

The village chief was extremely envious as he looked forward to Chen Xuan devising a way out.

Chen Xuan rubbed his chin with one hand. It was true. Every industry had entered a period of explosive development. Without any sense of the times, it would be difficult to become a leading figure.

Most people simply followed the crowd and managed to get a little soup, making a modest amount of money. To become truly wealthy and prominent, one needed to ride the winds of a changing era.

"Chen Family Village is remote and surrounded by mountains. We definitely can't do anything with the internet or open some kind of factory. How have the fields been these past few years?" Chen Xuan could only adapt to local conditions.

"There's nothing particularly good in the village lately. More than ten mu of land is planted with watermelons, while the rest has muskmelons, oranges, plums, corn, peanuts, and fish farming..." The village chief gave him a brief introduction.

The village had several large reservoirs. Some people raised big fish, while others sold small fish. The other crops did not make much money, and watermelon cultivation happened to be a summer business...

At 2010 prices, a watermelon only cost a few yuan. Going to an internet café cost one yuan per hour, and a headache or fever could be treated with painkillers or fever-reducing powder for just a dime or so...

"The watermelon market is poor this year. I'm afraid they'll rot in the fields. Your family also rented more than five mu to plant watermelons. Sigh... Take a look and see what you can do. The village really has no solution." The village chief scratched his head. Though he was only in his fifties or sixties, much of his hair had already turned white.

"Sure... I'll think of something." Chen Xuan nodded. In any case, now that he was home, he would develop properly.

"Haha... University students really are full of drive." The village chief nodded in satisfaction, then glanced at Nuwa again. She was simply too beautiful. He could not help feeling ashamed of himself and did not dare harbor the slightest blasphemous thought.

Nuwa had been watching the two men converse. She roughly understood some of it. Life in the later age was so difficult. Why had the path to immortality been cut off?

"Kid... Is there any way to quickly understand the later age?" Nuwa had no way to display her abilities. Otherwise, with the strength of a Peak Grand Unity Golden Immortal, she could understand the world's trajectory with a single thought.

"There is..." Chen Xuan did not waste words. He brought Nuwa into the room, rummaged through the cabinets, and took out a book titled Five Thousand Years of Chinese History. He also turned on the color television at home, which would allow her to understand modernization quickly.

"Today's news: The nation's development direction is to fully develop the coastal regions and promote surrounding industries. Another project is also being accelerated: shifting exports toward rural subsidies and bringing various household appliances into the countryside..."

"Farmers are simple and honest. Farmers are the nation's future..."

The host on television was beautiful and spoke with powerful conviction. No wonder people in that era who paid attention to the news and followed the nation's direction almost always became rich.

This was the wind and tide of the times...

"This thing is rather interesting. There's actually someone speaking inside it, as if a person lives in there. In the Primordial World, we can only recreate such things with divine abilities." Nuwa was a little surprised. The later age had no spiritual energy, yet it had developed such wondrous objects.

She also looked through the history book and gained a rough understanding of China's five thousand years of history...

"The path of Huaxia civilization spans only about five thousand years. It seems vastly different from the development of the Primordial World?" Nuwa raised a question. The Primordial World had no concept of years. A short retreat could last tens or hundreds of thousands of years. How terrifying!

Chen Xuan shook his head and said, "We haven't even figured out the Classic of Mountains and Seas. How could we understand the causes and effects behind it? Especially in this age, where there are no immortals, gods, demons, or monsters. Perhaps they opened up some other space..."

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

"You finished?" Chen Xuan asked in surprise.

"Cultivators never forget anything they have seen. When we return to the Primordial World, I will teach you how to cultivate." Nuwa raised her head. Her dignified and noble bearing was completely out of place in the countryside.

"Sure..." Chen Xuan was looking forward to it. He did not know whether he could return again, yet he also felt reluctant to part with this place. After all, once Nuwa returned, it would be difficult to lure her away again.

The sun began to blaze. It was around ten o'clock, and Chen Xuan obviously could not take Nuwa to the fields for a hearty harvest of rice.

"Kid... Now you should tell me about the Primordial World. Don't harbor any wicked thoughts. I could crush you to death with one finger." Nuwa watched television for a while, then found it somewhat boring.

"You really want to know?" Chen Xuan became serious. As an outsider concerned with the development of the world, he could easily cause deviations in the plot.

"Indeed... I want to see how the Primordial World develops, and why there are no immortals or gods in the later age." Nuwa wanted to seize the initiative and make proper arrangements.

Chen Xuan nodded and said, "Tell me about the current situation. In the end, I only heard legends passed down from later generations, so there is much I don't understand..."

"Very well... My elder brother Fuxi and I have only been born for a million years. We have been cultivating on Buzhou Mountain all this time. Recently, the Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, and Qilin Clan have been seizing territory throughout the Primordial World. A war will break out sooner or later..." Nuwa did not conceal anything and recounted all that she knew.

"The period you're in roughly belongs to the first Dragon-Han Calamity. Hongjun has not yet attained the Dao. After the calamity passes, he will become a Saint on the spot and preach beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens..."

"This is the Primordial World's second great calamity—the Dragon-Han Calamity. Luohu provoked trouble in the west, plotting to make the dragons, phoenixes, and qilins slaughter one another. This created boundless killing karma and helped him attain the demonic path in one stroke. It was also the Dao-Devil War..."

Chen Xuan carefully explained part of what he knew...

He also downloaded several novels, including Buddha is Dao, Rebirth of the Primordial Dao, and Senior Brother Is Rather Steady...

There was also Investiture of the Gods and Journey to the West...

This time, Nuwa was so furious that smoke practically came out of her seven orifices...

How dare the unfilial descendants of the later age fabricate stories about her...

The most infuriating part was that they had even added her to a harem...
