Chapter 773 A Miracle Beyond Miracles: A Divine Seed in its Complete Form, Auspicious Omens for the Human Emperor
2300 pounds.

Although this is the theoretical maximum, it is a miracle created using the soil of the state, the dragon's energy, the treasure seal of abundance, and the hand of Shennong.

However, according to common practice, in reality, about 65% of the yield in fertile fields is around 1500 jin (750 catties).

Once the human race's yield per acre was fully implemented, it nearly doubled.

Even if the warriors have a huge appetite, it's enough for the farmers to catch their breath in a short time, giving Chu Wujiang time to carry out his reforms and restore order to the world.

Miracles, the Great Miracle Day.

Through primitive breeding methods and natural mutations, the human race has essentially reached its limit after tens of thousands of years of cultivation.

There are several reasons for this progress in grain varieties.

The first thing they did was abandon the original breeding methods. After confirming that hybrid rice was more advantageous by using the Shennong Treasure Cauldron, they selected different rice varieties for breeding and then used the Shennong Treasure Cauldron to refine them.

Secondly, Chu Wujiang mobilized all his fortune to support the Shennong Cauldron, while simultaneously activating the [Lord of the State] and injecting 500 points of golden fortune.

Two golden fortunes and 500 points of golden luck were used as fuel to create the miracle.

This is not to say that the Grand Ministers of Agriculture throughout history did not work hard.

They may have great fortune, but it's difficult for them to be like Chu Wujiang, who can use the luck of a Human Emperor to help them, and even take advantage of the extreme state of their luck just being promoted.

This breakthrough allowed them to realize the potential of hybridization technology within just a few days, resulting in a miracle yield of 2300 jin per mu.

Zhao Shanhu was completely stunned.

As the eldest granddaughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, she initially wanted to inherit the family business and make a breakthrough in farming. However, her talent in this area was far inferior to that of the Duke of Zhenguo, and she was not even at the level of a prodigy.

Research by farmers is arduous and slow.

Sometimes, you work hard for ten years and achieve nothing.

This is also because the agricultural development of the human race has come to an end, which led to the decline of farming families. The Duke of Zhenguo, on the other hand, is developing in the direction of spiritual medicine, spiritual rice, and so on.

Each increase of 50 jin was enough to excite the Ministry of Agriculture, but Chu Wujiang, in cooperation with the Duke of Zhenguo, increased the yield to 2300 jin in one go, a truly auspicious sign.

At the moment the new version of Jicang Rice was born, the Qilin living in Qilin Cave let out a cry and flew around Tianyuan Mountain, as if cheering for the birth of the new rice.

Heaven cherishes life.

This new rice can feed more of the human race, ensuring that people are well-fed and clothed; that is the greatest virtue.

Chu Wujiang will receive a reward from humanity as long as he activates the dragon vein.

At this crucial moment, the Duke of Zhenguo carefully stroked the rice in his hand, then spoke:

"Your Majesty, there's still a problem with this rice."

Chu Wujiang restrained himself from bestowing the humane reward, refraining from settling the payment for the time being, and instead asked:

What are the problems?

The Duke of Zhenguo pondered for a moment and said:

"In order to increase yield, this rice has sacrificed abilities such as insect resistance and disease resistance, making it a rice with overall enhanced yield."

"If we plant next year, there shouldn't be any major problems, but the year after that is uncertain."

The Duke of Zhenguo is a sage of agriculture, and with the awakening of the Shennong Treasure Cauldron, he can guess the advantages and disadvantages of plants with great accuracy just by touching them.

Is genetic modification possible?
Upon hearing this, Chu Wujiang immediately had this idea.

Primitive breeding, hybridization breeding, molecular breeding.

Molecular breeding leads to transgenic technology, which transfers genes from other species into seeds, giving them insect resistance, disease resistance, and other properties.

As Chu Wujiang was pondering a solution, the Duke of Zhenguo spoke up:
"Your Majesty, rest assured, this old minister will use other seeds to crossbreed and experiment to find the best seeds."

"It just needs a little time."

The most difficult part—increasing production—has been accomplished, and the Duke of Zhenguo is confident in completing all of this.

But Chu Wujiang suddenly smiled and said:
"No, we can do better."

"Beyond hybridization breeding, there may also be molecular breeding."

"We can take a gamble."

"The fate of humanity is now in their hands; it might just be a success."

ha?
The Duke of Zhenguo didn't quite understand, but Chu Wujiang quickly replaced the concept of genes with bloodline and explained it to the Duke of Zhenguo.

Humans naturally recognize bloodlines and understand the principles of bloodline fusion.

The Duke of Zhenguo hesitated and said:

"Your Majesty means that under the influence of certain energies, seeds may undergo strange changes that could result in insect resistance, disease resistance, or even higher yields."

Chu Wujiang nodded with a smile and said:

"Correct!"

Chu Wujiang certainly didn't have an in-depth understanding of gene technology, so it was impossible for him to decipher any genetic map.

However, he is a powerful expert at the Heavenly Fate Realm, capable of seeing the vitality and even the bloodline of plants. He can determine whether these plants can be transformed into superior varieties through [radiation] and achieve another breakthrough.

If Chu Wujiang is going to do something, he'll do it to the extreme.

The Duke of Zhenguo took a deep breath:

"Your Majesty's words are reasonable. Then this old minister will accompany Your Majesty to the highest heavens."

Space breeding.

What an imaginative idea!

Chu Wujiang doesn't understand gene technology, so he really can't identify benign traits and then perform genetic modification.

But he can gamble on luck, experimenting with countless seeds and using his own luck to gamble on producing even better seeds.

Chu Wujiang smiled faintly:

"Need not!"

"My physical body is free of trouble, so I can go to the heavens."

"As for the Duke, he will work with me to create seeds and send them into the heavens to serve as seeds for experiments."

"Once those experimental seeds produce superior varieties, I will send them down to the Duke of Zhenguo to cultivate and verify their yield."

Hybrid rice is more complicated than traditional breeding because it involves an additional process of cultivating seeds.

Chu Wujiang suggested that the entire foundation of three-line hybrid rice be taken to space for cultivation to obtain various superior characteristics, and then seeds be cultivated to verify yield.

The Duke of Zhenguo naturally had no objections and readily agreed:
"This old minister will do his utmost!"

Chu Wujiang's true form was about to head into space when Zhao Shanhu finally snapped out of her shock:

"Your Majesty, wait!"

"I have studied the Shennong Classic and have cultivated a large number of flowers and rice seeds. I can identify the quality of rice seeds."

"If Your Majesty were to bring this young lady along, it would surely be of great benefit!"

Zhao Shanhu didn't understand anything about molecular breeding or radiation, but her intuition told her that this would be a greater undertaking than doing odd jobs at the Sheji Garden.

The Duke of Zhenguo immediately rebuked him:

"Coral, don't be silly."

"The heavens above are extremely dangerous; even Grandpa has to be wary of the Heavenly Demons."

Zhao Shanhu strongly demanded:

"Grandpa, I'm not afraid!"

"Moreover, I can identify seeds, so Your Majesty will surely protect me."

Grandpa, this is an opportunity.

An opportunity you can't miss!
The Duke of Zhenguo could only turn his gaze to Chu Wujiang, who couldn't help but laugh:

"It doesn't matter, it's just a small matter."

"I happen to need Miss Zhao's help to verify the superior breed."

Great!
Zhao Shanhu cheered with excitement:
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"

Chu Wujiang pointed in the air and smiled faintly:

"My true form is waiting for you in space."

Before Zhao Shanhu could react, the space around her instantly distorted, and the next second she felt like she couldn't breathe.

In an instant, she arrived in the universe.

A landscape she had never seen before.

Oh oh oh!
Her fear of the dark almost overwhelmed her in an instant, but the next second, Zhao Shanhu felt a warm sun.

The Holy Body of the Sun!

Chu Wujiang absorbed the power from the sun, dispelling the surrounding darkness, and then used his magic to envelop Zhao Shanhu.

His Majesty!

Zhao Shanhu called out, but found that her voice could not be heard.

Chu Wujiang smiled and said:

"There is no air here, and the environment is very cold. You need to use your vital energy to protect yourself. When you want to speak, use your vital energy to connect."

Zhao Shanhu's heart was pounding. In this desolate environment, with only the two of them together, she couldn't help but say:

"Your Majesty, when shall we begin?"

Chu Wujiang laughed:
"Look, it's already started."

Chu Wujiang brought some ordinary soil and, using the fortune of the Lord of the State, transformed it into Soil of the State.

The soil of the state wraps up a large number of seeds, not for their growth, but to facilitate the ruler of the state in blessing these seeds and allowing them to receive baptism.

Zhao Shanhu held her breath.

She saw Chu Wujiang transform into the sun, radiating warm light, followed by abundant cosmic rays that continuously washed over the genes of [Jicang Rice].

Space radiation causes gene mutations, most of which result in harmful mutations, while a small number result in beneficial mutations.

Higher yield, faster growth rate, and less resistant to disease, etc.

Thousands of kilograms of seeds thus received the baptism of the universe.

Agriculture is an industry that relies heavily on luck.

Sometimes you have to rely on the weather.

If the heavens don't cooperate and there's a drought for two or three years, you'll still end up losing money.

If God is kind enough to let you discover a mutated species, you might just become rich and powerful.

For example, the ancestor of corn was wild fodder grass, which had no nutritional value whatsoever.

As a result, more than 9,000 years ago, the tb1 gene of teosinte mutated and began to grow corn cobs. It was discovered by the people of the Americas, who then cultivated and domesticated it, which led to the delicious corn on our tables.

A single gene mutation rewrote the history of human agriculture and profoundly influenced the course of human history.

Chu Wujiang didn't know much about biology, but he knew about the effects of space radiation and planned to use their numerical advantage to induce a collective mutation.

One thousand catties, two thousand catties, three thousand catties...

The Duke of Zhenguo and his divine avatar continuously harvested hybrid rice seeds in the Sheji Garden and sent them into space via space teleportation.

Chu Wujiang, on the other hand, spread his seeds throughout the entire plant, using the weightless environment to undergo mutations.

Such experimental conditions are enough to bring tears to the eyes of agricultural scientists.

It's not that they don't like conducting experiments in space, but the expensive launch costs of rockets, coupled with the cramped space station, force them to carefully select and ponder how to maximize the effect with a small number of seeds.

Chu Wujiang, on the other hand, initiated the attack with brute force, using cheat codes.

He can instantly transport tens of thousands of tons of heavy objects into space, and several thousand kilograms of high-quality seeds are just a matter of sprinkling water.

They can easily handle hundreds of thousands of kilograms of food in an experiment, without any fear of waste.

"Your Majesty, we cannot waste resources like this."

"The seeds at the front are starting to get damaged; Your Majesty, please retrieve them!"

"Hey, there are a few seeds here, and they seem to be getting better."

Upon witnessing Chu Wujiang's grand gesture, Zhao Shanhu quickly got into the zone. Floating uncertainly in space, she diligently released her vital energy, examining the seeds one by one.

The people of the Ministry of Agriculture would investigate the whereabouts of the Jiahe seeds throughout the country. They had their own secret methods to make judgments about the seeds.

Otherwise, the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty wouldn't have had tens of thousands of sets of seeds that could be used for various agricultural cultivation methods.

Chu Wujiang smiled upon hearing this:

"Alright, I'll listen to you."

"I'll leave all of this to you."

Seeing this, Chu Wujiang entrusted the responsibility of selecting seeds to Zhao Shanhu, and used his life force to ensure that she would not make a mistake and divide the precious seeds into problematic ones.

Those at the Heavenly Fate Realm can see vigorous vitality and the essence of life.

Whether the seeds are good or not, Chu Wujiang doesn't know until they've been planted, but he can see which seeds are more vigorous and more suitable for growth.

As for Zhao Shanhu's willingness to take on work, she should naturally be given the opportunity.

Zhao Shanhu breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully:
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

As Zhao Shanhu spoke, she connected with various places to screen the seeds, classify them, and then had Chu Wujiang send them back to the human world to be processed by the Duke of Zhenguo.

Once the mutation is complete and determined to be a benign trait, the planting experiment begins immediately.

However, since the Duke of Zhenguo was inside the time-delay formation, their seed production speed was far faster than Chu Wujiang's mutation experiments in space.

This is not okay.

Chu Wujiang pondered for a moment before activating the Fruit of the Future.

The history of time and the fruits of the future are both part of the Great Way of Time, and the two can be connected, so that the main body can also share the power of the time-delay array.

Chu Wujiang acted immediately.

He immediately mobilized the Fruit of the Future as a secondary array core, borrowing power from the Book of Time to set up the array.

There was a boom.

The consumption of mana quickly doubled, more than tenfold.

This is what the time-delay array looks like.

The larger its range, the more astonishing the increase in mana consumption becomes.

Fortunately, this is outer space, and the current Chu Wujiang is no longer the Chu Wujiang of the past. He can use the power of the sun to turn himself into a near-perpetual motion machine.

The grand formation has been set up.

The heavens and the earth form a highly efficient laboratory. Inside the time-delay array, the experiments they conduct in one day are equivalent to a year in their previous lives.

Even if we gain nothing, it doesn't matter.

Fortunately, the investment was not large.

Soon, Space Rice showed new promise.

2000 catties, with added salt and alkali resistance.

It weighs 2200 jin and has drought-resistant properties.

Given enough quantity, miracles can occur through mutation. Space rice is like illuminating individual genetic terms.

It's a pity that the Heavenly Book can't be used to illuminate it, otherwise Chu Wujiang would have already illuminated a hundred entries for Da Mi, allowing it to soar to great heights.

One day, two days, three days...

The three were completely immersed in the experiment, but they had not yet found the most suitable seed. Seeds that would have been considered breakthroughs in the past were no longer enough for them.

On the fifteenth day, the Duke of Zhenguo exclaimed with joy:

"Your Majesty, it weighs 2400 jin and possesses both insect-resistant and drought-resistant properties!"

The new technological approach will indeed further increase production.

Are you satisfied?

not yet.

Disease resistance has not yet been demonstrated, and the limits of molecular breeding have not yet been reached.

However, Chu Wujiang still had some luck points left, so he decided to refrain from gambling for the time being and calmly said:

"We will continue to preserve the seeds used to cultivate this rice."

"Until we achieve what we consider perfect."

Zhao Shanhu had been working continuously in space for fifteen days without eating or drinking. While Nascent Soul cultivators might not mind, she was only at the Spirit Realm and was nearing her limit. She couldn't help but ask:
"Your Majesty, is this not enough?"

Chu Wujiang laughed:
"I wonder how long it will be before we receive such a strong blessing of fortune again."

"If the human population doubles every thirty years, then the rice production will return to its original level in a few decades."

"I will do as much as I can, and do my best."

Chu Wujiang ended the civil war, greatly expanding the living space of the human race and improving the living standards of farmers, which would significantly reduce the infant mortality rate.

In times of prosperity, the population will grow rapidly, and within a century, the current rate of increase in grain production will be overshadowed.

Although future generations will develop urbanization, turning farmers into city dwellers, and city dwellers will reduce the birth rate, Chu Wujiang adheres to the principle of getting things done and will not leave any pitfalls for future generations.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Shanhu couldn't help but say:

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

"It is an honor for the human race to have someone like Your Majesty."

Chu Wujiang laughed:
"No need for flattery."

"Your body is probably not going to be able to hold on any longer, let's take you back to rest first."

Zhao Shanhu quickly said:
"No, I can still manage."

Despite being in the pitch-black space, Zhao Shanhu was not afraid because Chu Wujiang was with her; on the contrary, she seemed proactive.

Chu Wujiang asked curiously:

"Miss Zhao, then what is your reason?"

There's no need to work so hard.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Shanhu clenched her fists tightly, as if recalling some past events, and whispered:

"Your Majesty, do you know who this young lady dislikes the most?"

Chu Wujiang recalled some past events and couldn't help but say:
"Could it be Wei Yang?" (Note: Chapter 507)
Zhao Shanhu said through gritted teeth:

"Exactly!"

Chu Wujiang asked in surprise:

What does it matter?

Zhao Shanhu answered affirmatively:
"Of course it does."

“We were born into similar circumstances, but she was born with great fortune and will enjoy a life of happiness.”

"As for me, I must face the [Curse of the Martial Emperor] and strive for the sake of my family."

"Until Your Majesty breaks the curse of Emperor Wu, I will only marry the adopted son of the Duke's mansion and inherit the bloodline of the Zhao family."

"Instead of being like Cui Weiyang, who was betrothed to the most outstanding man in the world."

"She always outshone me; I lost to her no matter what we compared."

They compare looks, qualifications, family background, abilities, and husbands.

Zhao Shanhu suffered a complete defeat.

Actually, compared to Lin Xiaoxiang, she didn't have an advantage in the Flower God Sect either, but Zhao Shanhu didn't compete with Lin Xiaoxiang, so it didn't affect her.

Chu Wujiang suddenly realized:

"So you need to achieve something."

Zhao Shanhu nodded vigorously and said:

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"This rice cultivation project will surely be remembered for generations to come. Even if I am just doing odd jobs, I will have the opportunity to participate in this greatest cause."

"Even if I die here, I will never leave."

She is determined to defeat Cui Weiyang.

Chu Wujiang smiled upon hearing this:
"He won't die, I'll just lend a hand."

"It won't be an easy thing for you to defeat Lady Weiyang."

"In the future, there will be many improved varieties in the Ministry of Agriculture. If you learn the methods and do them little by little, you will naturally achieve great things."

"As for whether or not to compare with Lady Weiyang, Miss Zhao can decide for herself."

Chu Wujiang then summoned Silver Moon and channeled some of his magic power into her to help Zhao Shanhu repair her damaged body, restoring color to her pale face.

My body feels warm.

With the magical power empowering her, Zhao Shanhu looked at Chu Wujiang's sun-like smile and felt a sudden surge of emotion.

She couldn't help but say:

"Your Majesty, why don't we breed together?"

what?
Even though Chu Wujiang was a man of great experience, he was still somewhat surprised that Zhao Shanhu had taken the initiative to attack him in the pitch-black space.

At this moment, Zhao Shanhu was wearing a long crimson dress, the hem of which fluttered in the air. Her skin was crystal clear under the starlight, like a piece of warm and lustrous coral.

She is indeed a rare and stunning beauty, a woman on the list of beauties.

Her shy expression after blurting it out added even more charm.

In the pitch-black universe, such beauty is like bright stars.

However, Chu Wujiang, accustomed to beautiful women, quickly recovered and said meaningfully:

"Miss Zhao, I am not a tool for you to contend with."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Shanhu quickly explained:

"no."

“Your Majesty, I do not wish to marry you for the sake of Cui Weiyang.”

"But rather, I want to have the most outstanding child."

Even if I don't marry His Majesty.

Zhao Shanhu's explanation only made things worse, and Chu Wujiang chuckled in exasperation:

"I understand."

"Are you thinking of the Zhao family?"

Zhao Shanhu nodded, then shook her head and said:
"Your Majesty is the most handsome man in the world, and I, too, am somewhat fond of him."

It is sincere.

Zhao Shanhu wanted to squeeze into this experiment because she wanted to spend more time with Chu Wujiang. These fifteen days together would be enough for her to muster up the courage.

"Moreover, after learning about breeding, I discovered that these seeds can undergo benign mutations."

"Could it be that my daughter's child underwent a mutation in this space and became an unparalleled genius?"

Zhao Shanhu was a woman from the Zhao family. The Zhao family was once burdened by the curse of Emperor Wu, and she had no choice at all. Only when the curse of Emperor Wu was broken did she have the right to choose.

Now she is finally free to use it to satisfy her own desires.

As a result, Chu Wujiang said in an annoyed tone:
"That's not a good thing."

Chu Wujiang continued the experiment, flew over, and tapped Zhao Shanhu on the head.

Zhao Shanhu said in surprise:

"Your Majesty, isn't this good?"

"Fool!"

Chu Wujiang pointed to the seeds that were still functioning and explained:

"Such a bloodline mutation is because there are enough seeds to conduct modification experiments."

"I would never use children as guinea pigs."

"If we have more children, we will naturally have excellent bloodlines."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Shanhu showed a look of surprise and said:

"So His Majesty agrees?"

Chu Wujiang smiled and said:

"I never refuse an invitation from a beautiful woman."

Chu Wujiang's nature has never changed; he liked pretty girls before, and he still does now.

A man and a woman were originally cultivating seeds in space, but in the pitch-black environment, with only the two of them together, they quickly developed feelings for each other.

Breeding in space thus began.

Chu Wujiang activated the power of the Sun Holy Body, completely concealing the surrounding light, leaving only the two of us, embracing each other in the lonely space.

call!
It's hard to say how much love developed between them.

Desire, worship, the yearning for blood ties, and a touch of jealousy towards Cui Weiyang.

These complex emotions combined led her to take an astonishing action.

The environment in space is terrifyingly cold, but it is difficult to dissipate heat due to the vacuum environment.

Any spacecraft must take heat dissipation into account in space.

Chu Wujiang hugged Zhao Shanhu and noticed that her body temperature was rising sharply, so he used his magic to help lower her temperature little by little.

At this moment, Cui Weiyang, who was still on the ground, had come out to look at the stars. Her great fortune was still the most outstanding.

She gazed at the starry sky, then gently stroked the baby in her womb, and couldn't help but say:
"Xiao Xi, do you know?"

"Dad is doing something bad again."

Although the child has not yet been named, Cui Weiyang refers to him as Xiao Xi.

As she spoke, she looked up at the sky, her emotions a complex mix.

In a way, Cui Weiyang sensed that Chu Wujiang had gained another wife, and she had gained another sister.

However, this should have been the norm by now.

It increases every so often.

She also met many good sisters in the Crystal Palace and gained many benefits such as martial arts knowledge.

Today, Cui Weiyang seemed somewhat uneasy and said in a low voice:
"My husband, anything else is fine, just please don't let it be Zhao Shanhu."

“That woman is always arguing with me; I don’t want to be her sister.”

Cui Weiyang's intuition is astonishingly accurate; under certain circumstances, it possesses a predictive effect comparable to divine intervention.

Follow your words.

Cui Weiyang was slightly taken aback.

It seems that was the right thing to do.

The fortune of being blessed with boundless good luck is terrifyingly extraordinary.

She understood, and unconsciously clasped her hands together, saying:

"If it's Zhao Shanhu, then may my husband have other important gains on that day, instead of being with Zhao Shanhu."

Cui Weiyang would often recall the joy of that day and regard it as an important day. She hoped that her husband would also remember this important day.

Now that Zhao Shanhu has become Chu Wujiang's wife, Cui Weiyang hopes that her husband will have other gains on that day, so as to overshadow the joyful memories they shared.

Make it unimportant.

You agree, right, Xiao Xi?

The baby in Cui Weiyang's belly moved twice, as if laughing at the mother's jealousy.

At this moment, the effect of boundless good fortune seemed to be enhanced, and the good luck soared straight to the sky.

Chu Wujiang and Zhao Shanhu achieved a great harmony in their lives.

I was thinking that if a few seeds were wasted, so be it.

Unexpectedly, this delay led to an unforeseen mutation in one of the seeds.

This mutation is enough to be recorded in the annals of human history.

Upon seeing this, Chu Wujiang had no time to comfort Zhao Shanhu and immediately used all his magic power to protect the seed.

In their joy, the two witnessed the seed of a great miracle.

"quick!"

"Duke Zhenguo, begin breeding immediately."

Chu Wujiang had originally planned to continue advancing his luck, but he never expected that their pleasure would have such an unexpected effect.

With so much good fortune already present, the seed was on the verge of mutation.

The Duke of Zhenguo carried out breeding and then cultivated the seeds.

Everything went quiet.

Whether on Earth or in outer space, they remained silent when they witnessed this miracle.

It yields 3000 jin per mu and has four major characteristics: drought resistance, insect resistance, disease resistance, and nutritional fortification.

This can no longer be called a miracle species.

It should be called a divine seed.

That day, the Champion's Daily began publishing its full-fledged newspaper coverage, and the headline on the front page was—

The Human Emperor Descends, Divine Seeds Emerge, Rice Yields Three Thousand Jin Per Mu!

Auspicious omens have appeared.

Chu Wujiang can now prepare to head to the Outer Heavens.
