I start by marrying Yunxiao, who's in a vegetative state; I'm invincible in the primor

Shen Gongbao entered the bamboo forest and bowed respectfully. "Fellow Daoist, is this the ancestral land of the human race?"

"Did the First Emperor live here?"

A Bao didn't turn around, but nodded directly at Shen Gongbao, "Yes, it's over there."

Abao pointed to the small courtyard.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist."

After Shen Gongbao expressed his gratitude, he walked towards the courtyard with Jiang Ziya.

Knock gently on the door.

A voice came from inside the courtyard, "The door's open, come in."

Jiang Ziya was somewhat socially anxious, feeling both apprehensive and expectant.

Shen Gongbao straightened his Taoist robes and walked into the courtyard.

The courtyard is elegant, simple, and gives people a mysterious feeling.

Li Yu, dressed in a dark blue Taoist robe, sat quietly drinking tea.

Shen Gongbao was overjoyed and immediately stepped forward to bow deeply, saying, "Shen Gongbao pays his respects to the First Emperor."

"It is my great honor to meet the First Emperor today."

Shen Gongbao is a social butterfly in the prehistoric world, eloquent and good at making friends.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to maintain a good relationship with the Jiejiao Immortals and, with just his words, trick them one by one into leaving the island to be killed.

Looking at Jiang Ziya again, he seemed much more clumsy and hesitant, saying, "Greetings to the First Emperor, the supreme ruler."

Li Yu was also observing Shen Gongbao and Jiang Ziya.

A flying bear hovers above his head, a tiger with wings, a sign of divine mandate bestowed upon him!

The chosen one destined to face the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods.

Li Yu smiled calmly, "No need for formalities."

Shen Gongbao continued to bow deeply, saying, "When I was in the Three Mountains and Five Ridges, I heard of the First Emperor's great reputation. Today, I am extremely fortunate to have the opportunity to meet the First Emperor."

"I beg Your Majesty for mercy, please accept the little leopard. The little leopard is willing to go through fire and water..."

Jiang Ziya: "Me too."

Shen Gongbao had just taken human form and had not yet attained immortality.

Jiang Ziya was a mortal.

Li Yu nodded, "Since you've come from afar, why don't you listen to a few lessons here?"

"Go back and find Ah Bao, and build two bamboo huts."

Shen Gongbao was thrilled. "Great! The First Emperor is willing to take me in!"

"Yes! Thank you, Emperor Qin Shi Huang."

Shen Gongbao was very perceptive. Seeing the pile of firewood in the yard that hadn't been chopped yet, he took the initiative to pick up an axe and chop the firewood.

Seeing that Jiang Ziya was still in a daze, Shen Gongbao winked at him, "Ziya, don't just stand there, go sweep the floor."

"Okay."

Shen Gongbao chopped firewood, and Jiang Ziya swept the floor.

Li Yu treated him to a meal.

After finishing their work, Shen Gongbao led Jiang Ziya to the bamboo forest again.

Preparing to build a bamboo house.

Shen Gongbao naturally couldn't go to A Bao empty-handed, so he dug up a bunch of fresh bamboo shoots and presented them to A Bao, asking for his guidance.

Fuxi entered the courtyard.

"Brother, I think Shen Gongbao is a remarkable person, quite clever and quick-witted."

"Jiang Ziya, on the other hand, was a bit clumsy."

"Does Your Majesty intend to accept them all?"

Li Yu smiled calmly, "These two calamities are the key to unlocking the Investiture of the Gods. What kind of nonsense is it for my human race to accept them both?"

If we accept them all, how can we then swindle people and expound on the three religions of the West?

"Does Your Majesty intend to take Shen Gongbao as a subordinate?"

"Let's wait and see."

Shen Gongbao was eloquent and quickly became familiar with A Bao, calling him "Big Brother" repeatedly.

Jiang Ziya, on the other hand, eagerly anticipated obtaining immortal techniques to seek the Great Dao.

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

Shen Gongbao and Jiang Ziya chopped firewood and swept the floor for more than half a month.

Shen Gongbao was naturally optimistic and made several friends with iron-eating beasts, so he was always happy.

Jiang Ziya was getting a little anxious. He couldn't keep sweeping the floor and chopping wood forever, could he?

"Today's sermon."

Shen Gongbao and Jiang Ziya were startled. "It's finally about to begin! Immortal magic!"

"Today, I will talk about the history of human development."

Shen Gongbao was curious.

Jiang Ziya was greatly disappointed. "What's there to say? Don't you already know that?"

Li Yu's story begins with his birth as a human and his arduous struggle for survival, continuing until the end of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors era.

"The sermon is over, let's eat."

Shen Gongbao ate three large bowls of rice.

Jiang Ziya ate a small bowl, feeling uneasy.

The next day, he continued preaching.

Today, let's talk about the history of the development of heaven and earth.

Li Yu began by recounting the Longhan Calamity, giving a general overview of history.

Shen Gongbao was deeply attracted by the secrets within.

Jiang Ziya found it very boring.

On the third day, the sermons continued.

"What is the demon race? Di Jun and Tai Yi declared that all things with spirits are demons, which is in a broad sense."

"In a specific sense, the term 'demon race' refers only to the demon race of the Demon Court."

Shen Gongbao wholeheartedly agreed, "Yes, although everyone says I am a demon, and I admit that I am a demon, I am not a demon of the demon race."

For the next two and a half months, Li Yu spent all his time lecturing on theoretical courses.

Before the sermon ends.

Li Yu assigned the task, "Ziya, you will conduct a survey report on the human race, following the methods I taught you, including their needs, local customs, hydrology, etc."

"Gongbao, you should also do a survey report on the human race, and if you have some free time, do one on the 'demon race' as well."

Shen Gongbao nodded in agreement, "Yes!"

Jiang Ziya hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.

"Is there a problem?"

Jiang Ziya mustered his courage and asked, "Your Majesty, can this investigation grant immortality? Can it lead to becoming an immortal?"

Li Yu chuckled, "No!"

Jiang Ziya felt increasingly distressed, but he still agreed.

Shen Gongbao pulled Jiang Ziya out of the courtyard. "Ziya, don't rush. The First Emperor has real skills."

Take your time.

Jiang Ziya shook his head, "I only want to cultivate immortality, I only want to live forever... Doing these meaningless things is useless."

"Don't worry, maybe after we finish this investigation, the First Emperor will teach us the real skills."

The two parted ways and went to different human capitals.

Jiang Ziya was distracted. After conducting the investigation for two months, he found it uninteresting and stopped.

After arriving in the human capital, Shen Gongbao spent half a year learning about the people's livelihood and the development of the human race.

The deeper Shen Gongbao investigated, the more he frowned. "On the surface... everything seems peaceful and prosperous... but beneath the surface, things are turbulent... things are far from calm!"

Shen Gongbao diligently completed the report and then went to investigate the "demon race".

One year after the expiration of the term.

Shen Gongbao and Jiang Ziya returned at the same time and submitted their answers.

Li Yu glanced at it a few times, "Hmm, rest for a few days. In a few days, let Fuxi come and preach to you."

"yes!"

A few days later, Fuxi came to preach to Shen Gongbao and Jiang Ziya.

They all discussed matters of governing the country and managing state affairs.

Fuxi preached for a year, then the Earthly Sovereign took over.

After Lieshan preached for a year, it was Xuanyuan's turn to preach.

Xuanyuan smiled and said, "My brothers, the Heavenly Emperor and the Earthly Emperor, are far more capable than I am, so I will not talk about how to govern the country, but will talk about the cases of failure."

"Failure is not terrible; what's most important is to correct it in time."

"My life for the first half was a series of failures..."

Xuanyuan used himself as a negative example.

Cangjie spoke about literature and the Way.

Finally, Chi You, the ancestor of war, came and said, "Let's talk about military affairs."

"Once a major battle begins, it involves extremely complex matters. Under large-scale tactics, logistical support and food supplies are extremely important. We also need to know, with 5,000 men deployed to the battlefield, what is the width of the battlefield?"

"In this lesson, we'll review battlefield width. New lesson: the concept of large-scale deep operations... In large-scale operations, military secrecy is paramount..."

"This lesson will cover infantry-cavalry coordination."

"Sound military equipment is of paramount importance!"

Clearly, the thatched cottage and courtyard have become a crash course for the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

Shen Gongbao listened with great interest and, after learning the human script, took a lot of notes.

Jiang Ziya frowned, "It's meaningless, it's really meaningless..."
