Six Ears Leaves the Island, Floods Plague the Human Race

A child named Yao appeared among the Human Race tribes. Gifted and intelligent, he took an immortal master as his teacher.

However, with Guangchengzi's disastrous precedent, the Human Race was no longer so blindly devoted to immortal masters.

Yao's upbringing did not receive any special treatment because he had taken an immortal master. Everyone simply minded their own affairs.

Yao also knew of Guangchengzi's matter. Back then, in order to shatter the Human Race's blind worship of immortal masters, Xuanyuan had not buried the Battle of Zhuolu in dust, but had instead spread its story far and wide.
