My Twenty-four Heavens

My people, I can see with my own eyes that the human race has changed from a backward and barbaric race to a civilized race. I have no regrets in my life.

Facing the imminent death, Fuxi has no fear on his face, only freedom and expectation for the younger generation.

Seeing the crowd of clansmen in the room, as well as his wife and children, Fuxi sat up straight weakly, and said in a weak tone:

Probably the only regret is that after so many years, I have never been able to see the wise giant who gave me the holy sword and civilization.

I guess I will never see the great him again. If any of you can see him in the future, you must respect him as much as you do me.

Because without him, we wouldn't be where we are today.

The most important thing is... I still don't understand what the holy light on his body is, let alone what clothes he is wearing.

Thinking of the wise and humble Fuxi who is still deeply imprinted in my heart after decades, I am filled with awe and gratitude.

And for everything Fuxi said, everyone in the tribe agrees from the bottom of their hearts.

Because these people also grew up listening to the stories of the wisdom giant, and they also know the benefits that the wisdom giant bestowed on their tribe.

After I die, Shen Nong will be the leader of the tribe.

His ability is not inferior to mine, and he is also very good at distinguishing food, which can make the life of the tribe more prosperous.

And Shennong is still young, he can lead the whole tribe for at least twenty years.

In the past twenty years, you will fight against the giant beast together and continue the glory of our civilization.

At the last moment of his life, Fuxi was still thinking about his tribe, and he gave up the position of tribe chief to the more capable Shennong.

After confessing his last words, he solemnly handed over the Xuanyuan Sword to Shennong. Under Shennong's tearful guarantee, Fuxi's eyes began to sag.

The flames outside the window reflected into his slack eyes, making him see the giant exuding divine light in a trance:

Wisdom giant, you are so powerful, you must still be alive, right?

It's such a pity, I can't hold on anymore, I wish I could see you again...

I don't know if I will feel warm and peaceful in front of you now.

With his eyes slowly closed, but the corners of his mouth curled up quietly, Fuxi looked like a child who dreamed of his favorite toy when he was dying.

...

Amid the grief of the entire tribe, Shen Nong held up the golden Xuanyuan sword and became the chief of the tribe.

Although he has enough prestige in the tribe, in the hearts of the tribe, Fuxi will always be the only emperor.

As Fuxi's successor, Shennong also firmly believed that he was far less great than Fuxi.

His Majesty the Emperor led the human race from primitive wildness to civilization. Every step was densely covered with thorns. After paying the price of countless blood and tears, we have today's tribe and civilization.

As the successor of His Majesty the Emperor, what I have to do is not to conquer this world, but to allow my people to survive and multiply here.

On the first day of succeeding as leader, Shennong knew what kind of leader he should be.

So relying on the techniques of farming and animal husbandry recorded in the Xuanyuan Sword, Shennong relied on his own wisdom to invent Leisi, the most primitive plow, which laid the foundation for tribal farming.

With farming tools, the tribe's survival mode has officially changed from fishing and hunting in the Fuxi era to farming, and life can be better preserved.

But this is not enough. Shennong made many contributions to the development of tribal civilization during his first ten years in power.

Faced with the invasion of foreign tribes, Shennong cut wood into a bow to protect people's lives and fruits of labor.

In order to allow food and water to be stored, Shennong also explored the firing method of pottery based on the few words on the Xuanyuan Sword.

The tribe grew richer and stronger.

In contrast, other tribes still live a life of bare hair and blood.

Like Fuxi, Shennong has a natural tolerance for the human race.

Seeing other humans living like beasts, Shen Nong allowed them to join his tribe.

For these outsiders, Shennong used Japan and China as a market, allowing the tribe members to barter regardless of their origin.

Shennong also saw that the tribe used leaves and animal skins to cover their bodies, so he taught the people hemp sang to make cloth, and humans had real clothes for the first time.

This is a major step taken by mankind from an ignorant society to a civilized society.

But the good times didn't last long. In the second ten years, Shennong ushered in the biggest crisis since his reign!

The land that was originally fertile enough to yield a harvest by dropping a single seed, is no longer suitable for the growth of plants for some reason.

Even the newly reclaimed land becomes incomparably barren after a few harvests.

Without crops, the growing tribe will face hunger again, and can only survive by plucking grass seeds, picking wild fruits, and hunting birds and animals.

The birds in the sky became fewer and fewer, and the beasts in the ground became rarer and rarer. Even many of the plants growing on the ground were poisonous.

Faced with the sudden disaster, Shen Nong, the leader of the tribe, stepped forward. He decided to taste all the herbs in the world to determine which foods are edible and which foods are not.

In this way, Shennong held a whip made of rattan and drove away poisonous snakes and insects hidden in the mountains and trees while walking. When he saw something edible, he tried the poison himself.

His legs were swollen and his feet were callused, but he kept walking.

Shennong narrowly escaped death countless times. The worst time he planted more than 70 kinds of poison at the same time, but he still survived strong.

It took a full year for Shennong to succeed, and he tasted all kinds of herbs.

Back in the tribe, Shennong summarized his knowledge into the Shen Nong Baicao Jing, and since then the tribe can clearly distinguish which things can be eaten and which things cannot be eaten.

Because of the Shen Nong Baicao Jing, human beings finally had the ability to heal diseases, and Shen Nong's prestige among the tribe reached its peak all of a sudden.

Shennong also brought back a solution to the big problem of life and death when the fields were no longer fertile.

In the process of tasting hundreds of herbs, Shennong discovered that the land burned by wildfires can often give birth to more vigorous vitality.

Therefore, Shennong led his people to burn the fields with flames, making the land fertile again.

The land burned by flames revived the tribe with vitality and firepower.

And because of Shennong's dedication to death and his contribution to the inheritance and development of the tribe, Shennong finally has a new name.

He is as great as the earth, the emperor of the tribe.

He burns the earth with flames, bringing the hope of the continuation of the tribe, and he is also Emperor Yan.
