Chapter 218: Chapter 196, Capsized

As Guang Chengzi arrived at the Youxiong Tribe, in the depths of the great northern mountains, an extraordinary being came to the Jiuli Tribe.

Xingtian walked among the tribe, unnoticed by anyone.

After a long time, Xingtian stood before a young boy with horns on his head, and asked authoritatively, "What is your name?"

The boy looked up and exclaimed, "My name is Chi You!"

"Chi You, would you like to take me as your master?"

The boy looked up and asked, "What can you teach me?"

Xingtian proudly declared, "I can teach you the Great Witch True Body that does not perish through myriad calamities, I can teach you how to command an army that is invincible in battle, I can make you the Human Emperor."

Little Chiyou knelt to the ground with a thud, bowing his head and crying out, "Disciple pays respect to the Master!"

Xingtian burst out laughing and exclaimed, "Good! From today onwards, you are my disciple, Xingtian." Bending down, he grabbed Chi You by the neck and carried him away.

...

Time in the Primordial World flies rapidly; in the blink of an eye, Shennong had grown very old. Because Shennong continually wandered the Primordial World to taste hundreds of herbs and discern their properties, he lost control over the Human Clan. By the later period, the Human Clan had many lords ruling independently, yet due to Shennong’s presence, they still maintained a unified front. Whether out of respect or fear, no one dared to defy Shennong’s orders.

One clear morning, Bai Jin, accompanied by Jingwei, arrived above the skies of Chen, breathing in the aroma of prosperity below, which was the scent of wealth.

Jingwei, excited yet nervous, looked up and asked, "Master, why have you brought me to Chen?"

Bai Jin said sorrowfully, "Your father’s time is limited; today is the day he departs. I’ve brought you to see him one last time."

"What?" Jingwei cried out in surprise, all excitement vanished, replaced only by grief, tears streaming down instantly as she flew towards the Imperial Palace in Chen, crying mournfully, "Father~"

The cultivators guarding the Palace, upon seeing Jingwei, were about to stop her but hesitated and silently allowed her to rush into the grand hall.

Inside the hall, the elderly Shennong was sitting up in bed, half-kneeling beside the bed a young man, to whom he was entrusting some last words.

At that moment, Jingwei burst into the hall, looked around, and threw herself beside the bed, crying out in despair, "Father~"

Shennong hurriedly sat up, somewhat flustered but joyfully said, "My girl, why have you returned? Why the tears, what has happened?"

The girl sobbed, "Father, Master said you are leaving, and I can’t bear to lose you!"

Shennong chuckled, "As the ruler of the Human Clan, my merits are complete, and I am about to ascend to the status of Earth Emperor. I will go to the Fire Cloud Cave to enjoy boundless purity; this is a cause for joy. Why are you crying?"

Her crying abruptly stopped; the girl raised her head and looked at Shennong. Seeing her father’s smiling face, which did not seem deceitful, she buried her head in the bedding, whimpering—how embarrassing! Curse it—curse it all! Master tricked me again, her heart roaring like a little tiger, baring teeth and claws.

Outside, the sky suddenly roiled with purple Qi as the Mage Xuan Du’s figure emerged from the purple Qi.

On the cloud, Bai Jin greeted Xuan Du with a bow. Xuan Du’s smile hinted a nod in return before he spoke, "Human Lord Shennong responds to the edict of the Taishang Sect Leader."

Every citizen of Chen looked up towards the sky, abuzz with discourse.

Some Human Clan Practitioners escorted Shennong out of the Imperial Palace, slowly levitating to hover above Chen.

Jingwei, Xuanyuan, and many other powerful individuals of the Human Clan all stepped out of the palace, looking up at the sky with anticipation.

Shennong gave three deep bows, kneeling on the clouds, "Shennong heeds the Dharma Decree of the Taishang Sect Leader~"

The other Human Clan Practitioners also followed suit in homage.

Xuan Du began to recite, "The Supreme Venerable Master of the Taoist Heaven declares: Shennong has succeeded the Heavenly Emperor as the joint ruler of the Human Clan. During his reign, he promoted the cultivation of the Five Grains, established totems, and set the seasonal cycles, roaming the Primordial World to taste hundreds of herbs. Up until this day, his virtue is complete, his merit boundless.

Today, by the edict of the Supreme Heavenly Venerate, Shennong is appointed as the Human Clan’s Earth Emperor, to reside and cultivate in the Fire Cloud Cave, untainted by karma, to be eternally indestructible! Let this be heeded!"

Shennong respectfully answered, "Many thanks to the Taishang Sect Leader, Shennong receives the Dharma Decree!"

The sky churned with golden-yellow hues, as a giant Merit Gold Cloud descended, splitting into two in midair—eight parts entered Shennong’s body, the remaining two flowed toward Xuan Du, who waved his hand to gather them up.

The Human Emperor’s Merit stirred the merits accumulated by Shennong over the years for the Human Clan, buzzing with Sacred Heavenly Sounds. A Merit Golden Wheel appeared behind Shennong, illuminating the people of Chen.

Shennong stood up, his awe-inspiring and divine aura enveloping all territories of the Human Clan. Everyone felt it in their hearts and respectfully bowed towards Chen.

"Roar~" A Qi Fortune Divine Dragon descended from the purple clouds, its colossal body stirring the clouds, its dragon head descending from the sky to face Shennong.

Shennong leapt up, landing on the dragon’s head, and declared, "From this day forth, I, Shennong, am the Human Clan’s Earth Emperor. I will anchor the Human Clan’s Destiny in the Fire Cloud Cave, not emerging unless faced with the Infinite Calamity."

"Roar~" The Divine Dragon roared, its mouth drawing in breath, attracting a section of the clan’s wise and talented from before the palace, who then landed on the Dragon’s back. The Dragon turned and sped towards outer space.

All of Chen’s Human Clan knelt to the ground, with a mix of sadness and joy, crying out, "We bid farewell to Your Majesty the Earth Emperor!" Their voices shook Heaven and Earth.

Jingwei quietly flew to Bai Jin’s side, glaring at her, her eyes as dead as a fish.

Bai Jin rubbed Jingwei’s head, surprised, "My good disciple, what has happened? Who has wronged you?"

Jingwei bit her teeth and snapped, "Master, you’re so boring!" and she marched straight towards the East Sea.
