Ch. 242The Heavenly Sovereign Governed the World, Human Marriage Was Established
Fuxi understood his karmic bond to humanity through the Kongtong Seal and borrowed Nuwa’s Red Embroidered Ball to establish human marriage and surname rules. After nine couples made the first marriage pledges at the Ancestral Land, a pillar of crimson and gold Human Dao Fortune rose, and Nuwa sensed humanity’s new order from Wa Huang Palace.
- Suiren Shi placed the Kongtong Seal on the Ancestral Land’s altar, where it merged with the sacred land’s aura.
- Fuxi contemplated the seal, saw humanity’s past and possible future through the Bagua, and noticed a newborn boy named Xuanyuan in the records.
- Fuxi traveled to Wa Huang Palace, where Nuwa lent him the Red Embroidered Ball and warned that marriage must be based on mutual affection, not coercion or trade.
- Fuxi returned and announced plans to establish nine great surnames, forbid marriage within a surname or clan, and record formal genealogies.
- Fuxi proclaimed the institution of Human Marriage as nine couples made pledges before the Kongtong Seal and Red Embroidered Ball.
- The two treasures’ fortunes combined into a crimson-and-gold pillar that rose from the Ancestral Land, and Nuwa sensed humanity’s progress from Wa Huang Palace.
