Primordial Era: I am a member of the Jie Sect, and I am the God of Literature.

Chapter 10 Zhong Hui, the Left Chancellor of the Future Shang Dynasty

Among the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Fuxi, the Heavenly Sovereign, was the most powerful, and Yu the Great was the most powerful among the Five Emperors. Even Zhuanxu, the first of the Five Emperors, might not have been as powerful as Yu the Great.

Because of his extraordinary talent and experience, Yu the Great was the last emperor. He controlled the floods, forged the Nine Tripods for the human race, dominated the prehistoric world, established the first dynasty of the human race, and was respected and subjugated by all sides.

After countless years of cultivation, his cultivation level was comparable to that of the Three Sovereigns. Moreover, he must have had another reason for handing the mountain-splitting axe to Su Shao Chen.

Humanity's fortunes are fluctuating greatly right now. The Xia Dynasty is vaguely approaching its end, and there is a possibility of a change of dynasty. Otherwise, Yu the Great wouldn't have said those words just now.

However, neither the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors nor the Four Ancestors of Humanity stopped it; in their view, this was also an experiment.

Going against the will of Heaven and conforming to the will of Heaven.

If the fate of the Great Xia Dynasty can be reversed through Emperor Yu's methods, it would be a journey against the will of Heaven. Could it also prove that the human race can also go against the will of Heaven?

Even to stand firmly in the primordial world, becoming an existence that even saints cannot ignore, rather than being the chosen protagonist of destiny given to humankind by the Heavenly Dao.

If there are still no major changes, then it is in accordance with the rise and fall of human dynasties and the primordial laws of nature, which is also a new dynasty and a new beginning for humankind.

"Good. We will sit in the Fire Cloud Cave to suppress the human race's fortune and cultivate in seclusion." Fuxi's gentle voice rang in their ears.

Everyone understood Fuxi's meaning: while he wouldn't stop Yu's little tricks, he couldn't be too open about them either.

But is the primordial Heavenly Dao so easy to defy?

Even sages wouldn't dare to defy the will of Heaven, let alone Emperor Yu.

Meanwhile, Su Shao Chen was sitting in a self-made chair, watching the group of people who had come to Longshan to learn martial arts.

As for those rumors and some slightly exaggerated claims, of course, they were his own propaganda.

If you want merit and enlightenment, you can't be low-key, and you can't just stand around and collect it. You have to fly to collect it.

If he doesn't pass on the teachings and the written language he created, how can he gain merit? If he can't gain merit, how can he face the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods later on...

Not just anyone can come to Su Shao Chen's school to learn seal script; one must be able to withstand the test and possess qualities such as good character and perseverance.

Anyone who passes the test can learn, regardless of their identity, race, or social class.

Moreover, Su Shao Chen taught them all diligently, so much so that over the past ten years, several of the human races he taught have directly comprehended the literary energy.

Among them, the one with the best aptitude for learning seal script under him was a human named Kong Shengsheng from the Shang tribe.

Based on the other person's name, Su Shao Chen even wondered if the other person was the ancestor of Confucius in later generations.

After all, Confucius' ancestors seemed to be from the Shang tribe and had some connection with Tang of Shang. However, his ancestors later fled to the Lu region to escape the war...

But Su Shao Chen didn't care too much, after all, the emergence of Confucianism was still a long way off...

In just over a decade, countless humans have completed their apprenticeships at Longshan.

They left Dragon Mountain and went to various parts of the human race, spreading the word about the literary path and the seal script created by Su Shao Chen, which attracted even more people from the human race to come and learn from them.

Su Shao Chen always asked those who came to study to address him as "Teacher".

He's only at the peak of True Immortal, how could he be qualified to take on disciples? Nor would he easily take on disciples.

Thirty years later, most of the human race knew that there was such a sage in Longshan, and he was highly respected among the human race.

Many humans even began to worship him, and those who passed on their knowledge, taught the Way, and cultivated the Way of Literature regarded Su Shao Chen as the patriarch of the Way of Literature and the Emperor of Literature!

On this day, a boy dressed in coarse linen clothes caught Su Shao Chen's attention.

Su Shao Chen saw a different quality in this young man compared to ordinary people.

He possessed both an air of imperial destiny and a refined demeanor.

This caught Su Shao Chen's attention. He then channeled his magic power, and thunder rumbled in the sky above Dragon Mountain. Soon after, a torrential downpour began, causing many people who had come to Dragon Mountain to seek shelter from the rain.

However, many others continued on their way in the rain, while the boy Su Shaochen noticed, while seeking shelter from the rain, resolutely headed towards Longshan.

Su Shao Chen saw all of this, and several hours later, people gradually climbed up Dragon Mountain.

The young man whom Su Shaochen had noticed did not rush to pay his respects to the Great Sage. Instead, he found a dry place, tidied his appearance, and then came to pay his respects to Su Shaochen.

"Zhong Hui pays his respects to the great sage."

Upon hearing the other person's name, Su Shao Chen remained calm, but he already knew who it was.

Zhong Hui succeeded as the ruler of Xue at the age of twenty-four and vigorously developed production.

Later, he joined Cheng Tang's forces, served as the Left Chancellor, and became a major contributor to the downfall of the Xia Dynasty.

In his previous life, Su Shao Chen had also read "Zhong Hui's Proclamation".

Looking at the extraordinary aura above Zhong Hui's head, Su Shao Chen nodded.

The future Zhong Hui is destined to assist the new emperor in building a new world during the upcoming dynastic changes.

Thinking of this, Su Shao Chen decided to nurture Zhong Hui properly. If, during the dynastic changes of the human race in the future, Zhong Hui could assist Shang Tang in establishing a new human dynasty, his literary pursuits should also flourish.

His luck and the cultivation of his literary arts naturally increased greatly, making it easier for Su Shao Chen to spread his teachings in the future.

If Zhong Hui possesses considerable talent in the Way of Literature, and is able to comprehend it and cultivate the path to immortality, it is entirely possible that he will one day become a righteous deity of the Shang Dynasty.

However, this requires a prerequisite: he must become the God of Literature before the new Human Emperor is recognized by the human race's destiny; otherwise, it would be tantamount to doing all the work for someone else...

…………

Since Zhong Hui became a student at Longshan, Su Shaochen not only taught him basic seal script, but also some skills in life and governing the country.

Zhong Hui lived up to his reputation as the future Left Prime Minister of the Shang Dynasty. He was able to apply his knowledge to new situations in literature and philosophies, and he mastered the essence of literature in just six years. He was one of the best among the human beings who studied on Dragon Mountain, and even showed signs of wanting to surpass Confucius.

As Zhong Hui began receiving individual instruction from Su Shao Chen, two figures would typically appear beneath the apricot altar on Longshan Mountain: one imparting knowledge about governing the country and ensuring the people's well-being, and the other diligently listening to the lesson.

Four more years passed. Zhong Hui worked diligently and studied assiduously. In just a few decades, he became the most outstanding person on Longshan Mountain, even surpassing Confucius.

On this day, Su Shao Chen seemed to have a premonition, and after calculating with his fingers, he called Zhong Hui to his side.

"You have studied diligently for ten years, and your hard work and outstanding abilities are exceptional among all your students. Now it is time for you to soar and realize your ambitions."

"You are still young and have more time. You should not just spend it on Dragon Mountain, but travel among the human race and see more of the world."

"After you have completed your mission, if you encounter difficulties or feel tired, you can come back to Longshan. This place will always be your second home."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Hui nodded heavily. After inheriting the throne of Xue at the age of twenty-four, he diligently governed the people, enabling them to live and work in peace and contentment. Thus, he came to Longshan to study.

But he knew that his Xue Kingdom was too small, while the world was vast, and Xue Kingdom was merely his starting point, not his destination.

He wanted to learn more and see more, so he came to Longshan to study diligently, hoping to achieve greater things in the future!

In Longshan, he learned a lot and witnessed more about the principles of governing a country, enabling people to live and work in peace and contentment, and gaining the respect and admiration of all sides.

Su Shao Chen was like a second father to him, teaching him so much here and making him feel the care of a sage.
