Fuxi Governs the World, Shennong Is Born

The Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods had been planned since Donghua broke through to the Five Heavens. Originally, he intended to let things take their natural course and first simply establish an ordinary Star Dou Great Formation.

However, now that the Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos are complete, and each path has Hunyuan Saint presiding over it, the Primordial World has completed its advancement, causing great changes in the River of Time and Space and the River of Destiny.

The Immortals and Gods, and saints who have fallen in the past have returned from the cycle of reincarnation, and this is the perfect opportunity.

In the original course, these Immortals and Gods could not return until the Shang-Zhou dynasties, when a great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods allowed them to return to their rightful places.

However, now that the Witch-Demon Tribulation has ended, the prehistoric Primordial Wilderness is in the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, so the War cannot possibly grow and therefore cannot erupt.

But the returning Immortals and Gods cannot be left to fend for themselves, especially now that the demon realm has been reborn, Luohu has returned, and there is also the war against the Western God Realm.

Therefore, the Investiture of the Gods is imminent!

Moreover, Donghua doesn't have much time left.

That's why they orchestrated this man-made catastrophe, the Investiture of the Gods!

Most importantly, he wanted to know the root of the Shen Ni, which was the root of the World-Destroying Power.

After sealing Shen Ni, Hongjun explained Shen Ni and the World-Destroying Power in the Purple Sky Palace, but his explanation was vague.

One of the most important things he still doesn't understand is why the World-Destroying Power appeared so early.

In Donghua's view, the Fierce Beast Tribulation after the creation of the world should have been the final Great Calamity, but instead it became the first Great Calamity after the creation of the world.

Was it due to Pangu?

Or is it due to the Dao itself?

If Shen Ni are the embodiment of World-Destroying Power, then why did they appear at the beginning of time, and why were they so powerful?

This is unreasonable!

It should be noted that the Heavenly Dao Power, which corresponds to the World-Destroying Power, was only in its nascent stage at that time. So how could the World-Destroying Power manifest five true forms and eventually infect so many races, thus creating the Fierce Beasts race?

Hongjun didn't explain this point before, only mentioning it briefly. That's why Donghua initiated this great calamity to clarify this matter.

Only in this way can we attack the Western God Realm without any worries, devour the world's origin, enhance our own strength, and incidentally allow the Primordial Wilderness to advance.

If things go smoothly, at this point, his path will be complete!

At that time, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was invincible in the world; most importantly, he had also achieved his Dao.

At the very least, he can break through to the seventh level of the Primordial Hun Yuan. If he can evolve into the Innate Five Primes and finally conquer the Chaos Realm, he will naturally achieve the Dao Body.

This is also his ultimate goal!

The East Sea ripples with blue waves, and the rising sun leaps out of the eastern horizon, instantly lifting the water with shimmering golden ripples.

The waves of the East Sea stretch to the distant horizon, where the fiery clouds solidify into fading lava.

With one step, Donghua arrived at the area surrounding the former Purple Mansion, which is now Golden Ao Island.

"Great Heavenly Venerate has arrived! This humble Daoist has failed to greet you properly. Please forgive me!"

Just as Donghua entered Purple Ganoderma Cliff on Golden Ao Island, a voice rang out, Tongtian appeared beside Donghua.

"Since you are so sincere, I will pardon you!" Donghua said calmly and sincerely.

Tongtian stared wide-eyed at Donghua in disbelief. If he had known about the "MMP" (a vulgar expression), he probably would have cursed him out long ago.

"Just kidding, just kidding, Fellow Daoist Tongtian, you wouldn't take it seriously, would you?" Donghua laughed heartily.

Tongtian:

Donghua shrugged, looking relaxed. Standing on Purple Ganoderma Cliff, he gazed at the East Sea. He hadn't felt this relaxed in a long time.

The location of Purple Ganoderma Cliff is the former Purple Mansion Suspended Peak, where he used to often gaze at the East Sea.

"To be honest, I kind of regret giving you the Three Islands and Ten Continents. This is my birthplace, full of my memories!"

Upon hearing this, Tongtian did not feel relieved. Instead, he helplessly rubbed his forehead. He knew that after hearing this, something serious was bound to happen today, and it wouldn't be a trivial matter.

It's always like this!

"Alright, you busy man, you don't come to my palace gates without a reason. Speak, what brings you here?"

Donghua casually waved his hand, sat down on the futon, and poured tea for the two of them.

"Look at you, you're in such a hurry. Can't I just call you, my fellow Daoist, to catch up?"

Tongtian scoffed, "You? Every time you come to me, it's because you have something to say, and it's something important. Hurry up and say it, or I won't be able to enjoy this tea."

Am I that kind of person?

Donghua smiled helplessly, then said, "I wish to set up a spell and would like your help, fellow Daoist."

"Set up a formation? What kind of formation?"

"With your current cultivation level and mastery of formations, what do you need me to do?"

Donghua said, "I have already contacted Fellow Daoist Fuxi, intending to gather the strength of the three of us to set up the Star Dou Great Formation."

"The Star Dou Great Formation?" Tongtian asked doubtfully. "Although this formation is powerful and unfathomable, you alone are enough to set it up, not to mention that Fellow Daoist Fuxi is also helping."

Donghua explained, "This formation is not the same as that one; rather, it is the one I wish to use..."

On Purple Ganoderma Cliff, the voices of the two continued to drift out; whether here or not, no one could remember the content of their conversation.

With the unification of the human race, the Primordial Wilderness entered a period of rapid development. The three paths were perfected, and the Primordial Wilderness was filled with the human race.

It was from this time that Fuxi began to govern the Primordial Wilderness. From the imperial court to the fields, Fuxi's figure could be seen everywhere.

In that same year, Fuxi summoned Myriad Races of the Primordial World to Chen Du to discuss important matters.

During this conference, all races jointly established the "Human Dao Codex," which serves as the first and supreme code of humanity, revered by all races.

On the day the code was completed, the Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos descended together, and the Mysterious Yellow Merit descended from the heavens, making the "Human Dao Codex" a Merit Spiritual Treasure.

In addition, Fuxi officially spread martial arts throughout the world, disseminating the Human Immortal Method throughout the Primordial Wilderness.

The path of the Human Immortal, also known as the Martial Immortal Dao, is unparalleled in its killing prowess, ultimately leading to the Hun Yuan.

On the day the Dao was perfected, the Heavenly Dao descended, intending to destroy this method. Although Fuxi withstood the Heavenly punishment, the path of the human immortal was also cursed by the Heavenly Dao.

Those who practice this method will not attain Immortal Dao; their lifespan will be only five hundred years, no different from that of ordinary people.

Those who fail to attain the Golden Immortal on the path to Immortal Dao will only live for one Yuanhui (a unit of time).

Only by breaking through to the Golden Immortal can one be free from the limitations of lifespan.

Although the path to becoming a human immortal has many flaws, many humans have begun to cultivate this path because it doesn't really require high aptitude.

Regardless of your aptitude, you can cultivate yourself.

Therefore, the path of human immortals flourished throughout the Primordial Wilderness!

Humanity, relying on the path of immortals, rose rapidly, filling the gaps in both high-end and low-level combat power, dominating the Primordial Wilderness and causing all the heavens to tremble.

Starting from this year, the human race officially launched an attack on the heavens and began to seize resources from all the myriad realms.

A continuous stream of good fortune and merit gathered in Chen Du, Fuxi's cultivation level rose higher and higher each day.

In addition, Fuxi invented the method of planting, and the human race entered the agricultural era from the hunting era.

For ordinary humans, hunting is no longer the only means of survival.

The vast Primordial Wilderness was covered with fertile fields, especially in its eastern and southern Primordial Wilderness.

In order to cultivate the land, the human race invented an ancient farming tool: the plow. Fuxi personally went to the Tong Bei Yellow Ox Clan to sign a covenant with its chief.

The common Ox Tribe lineage was separated from the Tong Bei Yellow Ox Clan and used as oxen for farming.

From that day on, the Ox Tribe became allies of the human race, and by attaching themselves to the human race, they grew rapidly.

Later, Fuxi perfected the Sound Dao, created music that ordinary people could play, and invented the first musical instrument for mortals: the se, which was seven feet two inches long and had fifty strings.

Fuxi used the zither to create a piece of music called "Foundation Laying".

From that day on, the human race's Music Dao entered a period of rapid development, with various musical instruments being created and famous pieces of music spreading throughout the world.

Music conveys the Way, expressing joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, separation, and reunion.

Therefore, Foundation Laying at the beginning of the Music Dao can ward off evil spirits, cultivate oneself, and strengthen one's primordial spirit.

After that, Fuxi traveled the world, established the distinctions between human relationships, and set forth the Marriage Rites.

"Marriage between people with the same surname is forbidden. The system of monogamy is in place. When a man and a woman fall in love and wish to spend the rest of their lives together, the man must marry the woman with money as a bride price, and the woman must also provide goods as a dowry."

The system of marriage laid the foundation for the development of the human race, leading to a significant increase in the human population.

The distinction between human relationships has minimized the birth rate of deformed children, ensuring the foundation for high-quality population development.

Finally, based on the principles of the Eight Trigrams, Fuxi Ten Heavenly Stems for humankind: Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui.

Then, Twelve Divine Beasts were selected from among all the races: rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig, to form the Twelve Earthly Branches.

The twelve earthly branches are: Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai.

The Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, combined with the calendar, gave the human race its own set of laws from this very moment on.

Fuxi Human Emperor, and a new chapter in the history of the human race began.

Fuxi governed the world and all humankind by looking up to the heavens, down to the earth, and in between, by observing human behavior.

He regulates the Yin-Yang and yang energies, harmonizes the seasons, observes the suitability of hills, land, water, marshes, fertile mounds, high and low places, in order to establish affairs and generate wealth, eliminate the suffering of hunger and cold, ward off the disasters of disease, receive human affairs, establish rites and music, practice the way of benevolence and righteousness, govern human relations, and determine the Marriage Rites.

Humanity is changing rapidly, and as time goes by, the era of the One Yuan Society has passed.

On this very day, Fuxi again bestowed fiefdoms upon the people of Chen Du.

Based on the Five Continents and modeled after the Five Directional Emperors of the Heavenly Court, the Five Emperors of the human race were appointed to govern the Primordial Wilderness.

The Eastern Green Emperor, the Northern Black Emperor, the Southern Red Emperor, the Western White Emperor, and the Central Yellow Emperor.

From the thousands of tribes of the human race, they were divided into Hundred Divisions, based on the size of the larger ones. Each of these one hundred tribes was extremely powerful.

The three most powerful tribes were the Heavenly Sovereign Tribe, the Earth Sovereign Tribe, and the Human Sovereign Tribe.

In addition, there are twelve other major tribes, including the Suiren Tribe, Zhi Sheng Tribe, You Chao Tribe, Da Ting Tribe, Tai Kang Tribe, and Hao Ying Tribe.

Finally, there are eighty-five tribes, including the Xuanyuan Tribe, Jiuli Tribe Tai Xuan Tribe Cheng Tang Tribe, Gui Fang Tribe, Tu Fang Tribe, Hui Yi Tribe, Huiyi Tribe, and Shennong Tribe.

After Fuxi distributed the fiefs, another cycle of time passed.

On this very day, the first son of the current chieftain of the Shennong Tribe was born and named Lie Shan!

As soon as Lie Shan was born, the sky was filled with red light and Hong Yun, and a Dharma image with the body of a human and the body of an ox stretched across the sky.

Except for his limbs and head, Lie Shan's body was transparent, and a human-bodied, bull-headed Dharma image appeared behind him.

"Si'er, Lie Shan has been born, and there are unusual celestial phenomena. I don't know if it's a good or bad omen?" Lie Shan's father said worriedly, looking at the Sky Vault.

Ren Si held Lie Shan in her arms, singing an unknown lullaby, and calmly said, "Whether it's good or bad, Lie Shan is my son, and no one can hurt him!"

Lie Shan's father looked at his wife and children beside him, sighed, and then went to find the tribe's high priest. No matter what, he had to make a calculation before he could feel at ease.

"The Fire Heaven Hexagram is an extremely auspicious hexagram..."

"Smack!"

Before the high priest could finish speaking, the tortoise shell and Bagua diagram in his hand shattered into eight pieces, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, his white hair growing wildly.

"High Priest, what is this?"

Lie Shan's father was overjoyed upon hearing that it was an auspicious divination, but was horrified by what he saw before him.

He himself was also a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, so he naturally sensed the arrival of the Great Dao just now, and a powerful aura in the darkness concealed the Heavenly Secret.

"Lie Shan has a remarkable background. He was key to the rise of our Shennong Tribe and Heavenly Pride of our human race. He should be treated well, as he could be the next leader of our tribe..."

Before the high priest could finish speaking, his Golden Immortal cultivation turned to ashes, and his soul returned to the underworld for reincarnation.

Looking at the scene before him, Lie Shan's father made up his mind to raise Lie Shan with peace of mind.

Lie Shan lived up to expectations, learning about farming at the age of three. When he grew up, he was eight feet seven inches tall, with a dragon-like face, large lips, and a slender figure.

Lie Shan has a natural affinity for plants and enjoys various herbs and grains.

In the Heavenly Court!

The West Queen Mother has emerged from seclusion, and her own path has merged with the Heavenly Rules. She is only waiting for a suitable opportunity to introduce new Heavenly Rules.

To carry out heavenly punishments and calamities according to heavenly rules!

"Hong Yun has successfully reincarnated as a human, and Fuxi's merits are nearing completion. A new Human Emperor is about to rise."

In the Yaochi, Donghua lay on the Cloud Bed without any regard for his image, his head resting on the West Queen Mother's lap.

Her skin, as white as solidified cream, was faintly visible, making one want to swallow it.

Beside him, many fairies were feeding him peeled fruit, while below, fairies such as Qing Niao were dancing gracefully, and on both sides, larks and others were playing musical instruments.

The West Queen Mother supported Donghua with both arms, her hands holding shimmering celestial silk. With the blessing of the Great Dao, a flowing celestial dress gradually took shape.

"Brother, what do you think of the dress I sewed for Qiong'er myself?"

Donghua casually took the flowing fairy skirt and commented, "What a spendthrift! You actually managed to sew a mid-grade Houtian Spiritual Treasure out of the gift fairy silk."

The West Queen Mother snatched the flowing fairy dress, spitting lightly, "You clueless fellow, this dress was sewn by me stitch by stitch for Qiong'er. Does rank matter? As long as it looks good, that's all that matters."

"Qiong'er has grown up by our side since she was little, always by our side. But Ming'er is in the Interception Sect in the East Sea, and we haven't seen her for many years. We don't know how she is now."

Donghua rose from the soft embrace and held the West Queen Mother in his arms. He knew that reasoning was futile at this moment.

As a sage, the West Queen Mother could easily visit Xuan Ming in a single step; how could she truly be unable to see him for years?

It's just a mother's selfishness at play!

"It's alright, Xuan Ming is fine. He's already at the peak of the Grand Unity, with a very good foundation. He's cultivating the Three Thousand Great Daos simultaneously, with the Supreme Emperor Dao as his main focus, and he's about to break through to the Quasi-Saint realm."

Upon hearing this, the West Queen Mother smiled gently, looked up at Donghua, and said, "Brother, since that's the case, why don't we summon Ming'er back and let him break through to the Quasi-Saint level in Heavenly Court?"

Sure enough, the fox's tail was showing!

The reason why the West Queen Mother did this was mainly because Xuan Tian had already broken through to the Quasi-Saint in terms of physical strength, and it wouldn't be long before he could officially break through to the Quasi-Saint realm.

Xuan Tian's breakthrough stimulated the West Queen Mother, which is why she wanted Xuan Ming to return.
