However, although Fuxi is a genius, after all, he is still poor. With the development of mankind, mankind has once again experienced a food crisis.

Moreover, after many years of development, human beings have already transformed from living together into tribes. Although these tribes are all under the jurisdiction of Fuxi, there are many conflicts between tribes.

Although it did not turn into internal fighting, over time, bloody conflicts still broke out over food distribution issues.

The child who was named Shennong by Qingyun back then is now a young man. Although there is a river near his tribe, after years of fishing, all the Fierce Beast in the river has been eaten up.

This also caused the Shennong tribe to starve to death due to food shortages all year round.

Shennong couldn't bear to see Clan Members die like this. Regardless of the objections of the three Suiren, he insisted on seeing Qingyun. After a big quarrel, they broke up unhappy.

However, Shennong did not give up. Instead, he secretly went to the ancestral land many times, trying to bypass Stone House and sneak into the ancestral land where Qingyun was located.

All this was seen by Qingyun. Qingyun shook his head helplessly, and told Divine Condor to shrink his body, turn into a bird, hold an ear of rice in his mouth, and start eating in front of Shennong.

Shennong was recovering from his injuries, thinking about how to avoid Suiren in Stone House. When he found Qingyun, he saw Divine Condor eating rice ears. Out of curiosity, Shennong came to Divine Condor and observed them carefully.

When Shennong saw the appearance of Divine Condor, as a disciple of Qingyun, he was naturally familiar with Divine Condor. He immediately knew that it was Qingyun who was giving him guidance. After picking up the rice ears, he bowed deeply in the direction of his hometown and then studied the rice ears carefully.

Finally, Shennong found that after peeling off the outer skin of the rice ear, the white seeds inside were very sweet to chew. After thinking for a while, Shennong cooked the rice ear seeds with water. Suddenly, a strong fragrance spread to the tip of Shennong's nose.

Shennong was immediately overjoyed. However, just one ear of rice obviously could not satisfy the huge human population. After thinking for a while, Shennong decided to look for plants similar to ears of rice.

After a year of searching, Shennong finally found five plants that can be absorbed by humans Human Body, namely rice, millet, millet, wheat, and beetroot.

With Shennong's unremitting efforts, Suiren finally understood Shennong's hard work and apologized to Shennong. Fuxi even passed the co-ownership to Shennong, and went to Stone House to keep company with Suiren.

After Shennong became the co-owner, he worked conscientiously and did not dare to slack off at all. He even neglected his wife and children at home. With the efforts of Shennong, mankind once again ushered in a period of rapid development.

However, unexpected events Wind and Cloud and Shennong promoted Five Grains among humans. However, humans also became weak and sick due to eating Five Grains. While Shennong blamed itself, it also began to have the idea of helping humans cure diseases.

So, Shennong put down everything, handed over the affairs of the clan to Xuanyuan and Chiyou to manage, and began to embark on the road of tasting hundreds of herbs.

Qingyun sensed this, sighed, and ordered Tsunade to accompany Shennong to protect Shennong, lest Shennong accidentally eat some poison and die.

Although Shennong has a strong sense of luck, Qingyun does not dare to gamble with Shennong's life.

After Tsunade received Qingyun's instructions, she happened to be bored and wanted to find something to do, so she didn't refuse and agreed immediately.

After Tsunade left, Qingyun continued to build a hall to host Martial Way.

For this hall to be indestructible, it not only needs Qingyun's True Essence nourishing materials, but also needs to inject Qingyun's spiritual will into it. Therefore, it takes an extremely long time. Even after decades, Qingyun is only half complete.

However, Qingyun has a hunch that once he builds this thing that carries Martial Way, he will gain huge benefits.

This is also the main reason why Qingyun persists in its unremitting efforts.

When Shennong went out to taste herbs, Xuanyuan and Chiyou also worked diligently to help Shennong deal with human affairs.

However, their personalities have been very different since childhood. When faced with conflicts between tribes, Xuanyuan advocates peace as the most important thing and persuades the fighting tribes to take a step back.

And what about Chiyou?

He advocated that the strong should be respected, and that this world is one where the weak eat the strong. Like those Fierce Beast, large Fierce Beast can plunder small Fierce Beast for food.

And they humans cultivate Martial Way, and with their wisdom, they can also plunder Fierce Beast for food. Therefore, every time Chiyou deals with this kind of thing, he advocates letting the two tribes fight, and the winner gets the spoils.

It is also because of this that a lot of battles broke out among the human tribes.

Chiyou even invented Bronze Casting Technique and created a large number of Bronze weapons to increase human aggression.

With these sharp weapons, the fights between human tribes evolved from bloodshed to life-and-death battles. As more and more humans died, Xuanyuan finally couldn't stand it anymore and looked for Chiyou's theory.

However, Chiyou thought that Xuanyuan was jealous that he had found a way to lead mankind to strength, so he ignored Xuanyuan's persuasion and still went his own way. In the end, Chiyou, who really couldn't stand Xuanyuan, left the ancestral land of mankind with his loyal men, opened up another land, and conquered a large number of tribes along the way, as if he planned to rebuild the ancestral land.

Suiren and Fuxi sensed that humanity was about to split and finally realized the seriousness of the matter. However, Xuanyuan and Chiyou each had their own opinions. This was the main reason why they did not know how to adjust at the beginning of the fight between Xuanyuan and Chiyou.

In desperation, Suiren and Fuxi asked to see Qingyun.

However, Qingyun just said that this is a disaster that humans should have. If humans want to continue to survive, they must go through various hardships.

In fact, Qingyun doesn't know who is right or wrong between Xuanyuan and Chiyou.

Xuanyuan wants to resolve conflicts within the clan peacefully and avoid bloodshed, which is a good thing.

However, many things cannot always be explained clearly with words.

Chiyou is right, the strong are naturally entitled to enjoy abundant resources, and the weak are born to serve the strong.

This truth is timeless.

Even in later generations, it seems that everyone is equal, but that is just a different way. The weak still work for the strong, but it is not as obvious as it is now. The weak have many choices, and the binding force is not as strong as it is now.

After the three Suiren heard Qingyun's explanation, they had no choice but to return to Stone House to practice in seclusion, out of sight and out of mind.

Shennong originally tasted herbs. After several years of hard work, Shennong compiled the herbs he had tasted into a book Medical Classic. However, when Shennong wanted to continue tasting herbs, he heard that the human race was divided. He looked shocked and could only use Movement Technique to rush towards the ancestral land of mankind.

After understanding what happened, the kind-hearted Shennong chose to support Xuanyuan without hesitation, and a civil war among humans suddenly broke out.
