The last time Fuxi traveled like this, he had chosen the Human Race's next Co-Lord. Thus, everyone with even a little ambition had turned their attention to Shennong.
Ever since Fuxi and Shennong resolved the Human Race's survival crisis, the Human Race's landscape had changed. It was not just Xuanyuan and several others who coveted the position of third Co-Lord; everyone wanted a chance to sit in that seat.
However, Fuxi and Shennong's prestige was simply too great, and they were beloved by the entire Human Race. Thus, no one dared entertain such thoughts while Shennong remained in power.
But now that a new Co-Lord was about to be chosen, and no one comparable to Fuxi and Shennong had emerged within the Human Race, the thoughts of countless humans naturally began to stir.
As Shennong traveled, the Human Race sincerely knelt in worship everywhere he went. This left Shennong deeply troubled. At this rate, when would he ever reach the You Xiong Tribe?
To escape the clan members, Shennong had no choice but to transform into an old farmer. Looking much as he had when tasting the hundred herbs, he slowly made his way toward the You Xiong Tribe.
When the Human Race's higher-ups saw Shennong's direction of travel, they were somewhat astonished. The previous Heavenly Emperor Fuxi had likewise abdicated the position of Co-Lord to Shennong in this manner. Could Shennong's purpose in coming be the same?
Sure enough, after arriving at the You Xiong Tribe, Shennong went directly to find Xuanyuan.
The moment he saw Shennong, the excited Xuanyuan immediately gave him a respectful bow. Shennong was far too great, having saved the lives of countless humans. Xuanyuan had grown up listening to Shennong's tales, and his dream had always been to become someone like Shennong.
"Greetings, Co-Lord!"
