Primordial Era: From Primordial Human Race to Grand Luo Immortal

Chapter 100, Section 99: The Four Seasons Established
Ji Yuan sighed. The seven emotions and six desires incarnations could communicate with each other. Last time, he killed the incarnation of joy, which had a physical form. The incarnation of sorrow that appeared later simply did not take on a physical form. Every time he killed them, they would change their form of existence to avoid his pursuit.

These incarnations are inherently manifestations of desire, with even stronger personal desires. By chance, they gained sentience and naturally wanted to glimpse the supreme realm and break free from the shackles of the Heavenly Way. The very nature of their existence is contrary to that of all living beings.

They feed on the desires of all living beings to strengthen themselves, and without desire, civilization would come to a standstill, and living beings would be nothing more than walking corpses.

"The seven emotions and six desires are the root of chaos, but they are also the cornerstone of civilization!"

With a sigh, Ji Yuan returned to his cultivation.

...............

Since Shennong reached the level of Quasi-Saint Three Corpses, the fortune of the human race has increased significantly again, and its development has become even more rapid. The existence of the human race has spread to countless worlds.

This continued for another thirty-three cycles, and Shennong was on the verge of attaining enlightenment.

"Once I complete this one more task, my merits will be complete."

Shennong said softly.

His eyes were fixed on the four altars in front of him.

The four altars each exuded the elemental aura of wood, fire, metal, and ice, respectively.

Fuxi divided the seasons into four periods and established solar terms to facilitate sowing and harvesting for humankind.

However, the power of the four seasons is not fully manifested, and errors and omissions often occur, delaying the time for sowing. But after hundreds of eons of faith and blessing from the human race, today, they will finally reap the rewards.

Shennong stood in the center of the altar, his vast aura permeating the three realms. His thoughts stirred the human realm, and the Kongtong Seal manifested in his hand.

The Kongtong Seal is a supreme treasure of the human race, a manifestation of the human race's fortune. Holding the Kongtong Seal can mobilize the human race's fortune to a certain extent.

The manifestation of the four powers was just a little bit lacking in luck.

Shennong used the Kongtong Seal, and with the blessing of boundless fortune, the stone statues on the four altars emitted a faint light. If one had experienced the great calamity of the witches and demons, one would find that these four stone statues were exactly the same as the four ancestral witches.

As the stone statue emitted a faint light, Houtu, the Goddess of Peace in the netherworld, also arrived before the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Under her will, the Pangu Blood Pool manifested, and four true spirits that had been nurtured appeared and quickly floated towards the altar.

"I hope Ji Yuan's suggestion works."

Houtu glanced at the many true spirits in the blood pool and then suppressed them back into the cycle of reincarnation.

At the same time, Shennong in the center of the altar sensed something, and the blessing of the Kongtong Seal became even stronger.

The stone statue, crafted from the Nine Heavens Breath Soil and various treasures, suddenly opened its eyes, which shone with extraordinary spirituality.

The Heavenly Dao was shaken, the four seasons were truly established, and the Heavenly Dao became more complete. Then it bestowed boundless merit, with forty percent given to the gods of the four seasons, forty percent integrated into the entire human race, and the last two percent given to Shennong, the current ruler of the human race.

With merit entering his body, Shennong had achieved perfect merit and virtue. Humanity manifested before him, and he reached out to pluck the Earthly Sovereign Fruit and merge it into the Great Dao.

Once he fully integrates the Dao Fruit, he can become a saint of humanity. However, with Ji Yuan's previous guidance, his integration of the Dao Fruit is just as close as Fuxi's, only a hair's breadth away.

Once the aura stabilized, hymns of praise resounded throughout heaven and earth, and all living beings understood that the human race had gained another Quasi-Saint.

The human race's regime is now stable, and even without a supreme ruler, it can remain peaceful for a long time, not to mention that the divinely ordained human emperor has already appeared.

"After being the sovereign of humanity for so many years, I can finally take a break."

Shennong smiled with relief and led his family members straight into the Fire Cloud Cave.

Meanwhile, the Kongtong Seal, which remained outside, flew high into the sky, unleashing two streaks of light that precisely locked onto the two individuals.

It was Chi You and Xuanyuan.

The people of the human race felt that the next human ruler might be one of these two, and there were many ambitious individuals who wanted to take his place.

Meanwhile, the four deities in the center of the altar were fully revived, announcing their arrival to all living beings in the primordial world.

"Our Spring God Jumang is in charge of spring, and is responsible for the sprouting of all things and the growth of plants." "Our Summer God Zhurong is in charge of summer, and is responsible for fire and heat, and for the flourishing of all things."

“I am Ru Shou, the god of autumn, who governs autumn, and is in charge of punishment, harvest, and solemnity.”

“My winter god Xuanming is in charge of winter, and is in charge of ice, hibernation and death.”

As the four divine pronouncements fell, the Heavenly Dao trembled, officially acknowledging their divine status.

The phantom of the Heavenly Emperor appeared high in the sky, holding the Investiture of the Gods and speaking the Heavenly Mandate.

"The four seasons are established, the solar terms are generated, and the twenty-four solar terms are divided into twenty-four positions of the four seasonal gods, which can be obtained by those who are capable."

As the Heavenly Emperor finished speaking, as if the Heavenly Dao itself had manifested, twenty-four new divine positions appeared in the world in an instant.

Many cultivators have considered joining the Heavenly Court, because the Heavenly Court is so appealing now. It allows them to comprehend the power of authority and cultivate with the boundless innate spiritual energy, making it a first-class treasure land.

After announcing their birth, the Four Seasons Gods disappeared into the world to regulate the seasons.

Chi You and Xuanyuan were also preparing for the upcoming great battle.

Meanwhile, in a hidden little world, the young Wenqi, whose body was engulfed in the true fire of the sun, was itching with rage.

"Demon, why is it that the Ancestral Witch of the Witch Clan can be reborn, while my father's true spirit can only be lost in endless time and space?"

Youwen laughed heartily, appearing somewhat manic.

"The Earth Goddess of the Witch Clan knows to protect the true spirits of her people, but our Clan's Queen Nuwa hangs high in the chaos, coldly watching from the sidelines! She doesn't..."

"His Royal Highness!"

Bai Ze quickly stopped Youwen's arrogant words.

"Your Highness, please be careful with your words. The Sage's powers are boundless, and everything he says will be known. We should not offend him."

"Humph!"

Youwen snorted coldly, still extremely indignant, but she still didn't say anything irrational again.

When the night was deep and quiet, Youwen quietly left the small world while Bai Ze was resting and looked in the direction of the human race.

"I'll start by targeting you!"

……

Not long after Shennong, the Earth Emperor, entered the Fire Cloud Cave, Chi You finally couldn't hold back any longer. Since Xuanyuan's cultivation was not as good as his, he naturally had to seize the opportunity.

So he rose up in rebellion and swiftly conquered several surrounding tribes, then marched with unstoppable momentum toward the Youxiong clan.

Xuanyuan was not to be outdone. He already had a reputation for virtue among the surrounding tribes, and as he sought to gain power, he naturally received the support of many tribes.

Influenced by Guang Chengzi and Jiutian Xuannv, Xuanyuan's Great Way was one of inner sagehood and outer kingship, a path of saintly virtue aimed at educating all people, conforming to nature, and governing the world.

The more people in his camp, the greater the power he can wield.

Soon, Xuanyuan also gathered a large force and attacked Chiyou's direction.

The two armies clashed, and a major battle was imminent.

But at this time, how could Xuanyuan be a match for Chiyou? In just three rounds, Xuanyuan was defeated by Chiyou.

If it weren't for Ao Yi of the Dragon Clan using his "Sea-Splitting" technique to stop Chi You's army, Xuanyuan might have already been captured alive.
