Shennong had a young daughter named Nüwa, who was cherished by his family.
One day, while playing by the East Sea, the girl got into an argument with the Third Prince of the Dragon Palace. The Third Prince used magic to pull her into the East Sea, where she drowned at a young age.
Even after her death, her obsession remained, and she transformed into a Jingwei bird, which would carry pebbles or twigs into the sea every day without fail, as if only by filling the East Sea could she dispel her resentment...
When Shennong learned that his favorite youngest daughter had met such an end, he immediately led the human army to fight against the Dragon Palace of the East Sea.
Although the Dragon Palace of the East Sea is powerful, the human race is now the protagonist of the prehistoric world, and its power is incomparable to that of the Dragon Palace. Moreover, Shennong has the Xuanmen behind him.
After the battle, the East Sea Dragon Palace suffered a crushing defeat. The old Dragon King Ao Guang had no choice but to personally kill the Third Prince to atone for Nüwa's death before the war could be considered over.
Shennong also took the Jingwei bird to the Bajing Palace to meet his teacher, Laozi, hoping that his teacher could revive Nüwa.
This was nothing to Laozi; he simply fed the Jingwei bird a Nine-Turn Merit Pill, which dispelled all the bird's resentment.
Next, by reshaping a physical body for the girl, she can be resurrected.
Therefore, Laozi ordered Xuandu to go to Phoenix Perch Mountain to obtain a grain of Nine Heavens Breath Soil from the Goddess Nuwa, and then used his power to create a primordial body for Nuwa.
However, in order to achieve a perfect harmony between her soul and body, Laozi sent Shennong to the Heavenly Dao Palace, intending to borrow the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc from Hu Le...
After hearing Shennong explain the reason, Hu Le did not make things difficult for him. He immediately ordered the boy in blue to go to the back hall, retrieve the Reincarnation Disc, and hand it over to Shennong.
Shennong immediately thanked him profusely, then took the Reincarnation Disc and returned to the Eight Views Palace.
After Shennong left, Hu Le did some quick calculations and realized that it would only be a little over ten years before Shennong achieved perfect merit and ascended to the Fire Cloud Cave...
Several more days passed, and Shennong led a seven or eight-year-old girl to the Heavenly Dao Palace again.
This girl is the resurrected Nüwa, no, she should now be called Jingwei.
This name was personally given to him by Laozi (the Supreme Lord Lao).
As for why she was renamed, Laozi also gave Shennong an explanation.
It turns out that the little girl's original name was too similar to that of the goddess Nuwa. Given the vast difference in their status, this would actually diminish her own good fortune and destiny.
Her previous ordeal may well have been due to this reason.
Therefore, for her future, it's best to change her name.
When Shennong heard this, he was filled with remorse and blamed himself for being too careless and unintentionally offending the great god who mended the sky.
So, he then thought of taking his daughter to Phoenix Mountain to meet the goddess Nuwa and apologize.
Laozi (the Supreme Lord Lao) spoke up and stopped his rash behavior.
The goddess Nuwa is currently focused on comprehending the primordial chaos and should not be disturbed repeatedly.
Besides, Nuwa wasn't that petty; why would she hold a grudge against a junior over a name?
Jingwei's previous fate was entirely due to the influence of Nuwa's fortune; Nuwa never truly intended to harm her.
Besides, even out of respect for Fuxi, Nuwa wouldn't do anything to Shennong and his daughter.
As long as Jingwei changes her name, there's no need to bother the Goddess Nuwa anymore...
Shennong was relieved to hear Laozi's words...
The father and daughter paid their respects to Hu Le in the hall. While returning the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc, Shennong also extended an invitation to Hu Le, hoping that Hu Le, a Taoist saint, would attend the ceremony when he abdicated.
However, Hu Le refused...
In the days that followed, nothing major happened in the prehistoric world. Shennong successfully abdicated the throne of the Human Emperor to Xuanyuan, and his family ascended to the Fire Cloud Cave to join Fuxi.
After Xuanyuan inherited the throne of the Human Emperor, he led the human race to strive for progress, and the rise of the human race was no longer an option.
Just as the situation for the human race was reaching a fever pitch, Tai Li suddenly led the Jiuli tribe in rebellion.
Xuanyuan immediately led a large army to quell the rebellion, and the two sides engaged in fierce battles for the next hundred years.
Disciples from the major sects behind the two also joined the fray. After a great battle, both the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect suffered heavy losses of disciples and followers.
In this battle, Taoism and Western religions remained neutral, watching their disciples fight each other while sending their disciples and followers down the mountain to spread their teachings among the human race.
The Chan and Jie sects were too preoccupied to deal with this, and the Ren sect was struggling to survive on its own, so they could only watch helplessly as Taoism and Western religions expanded rapidly among the human race.
Taoism is doing alright; under Hu Le's deliberate restraint, its expansion hasn't been too excessive.
Meanwhile, the Western religion, relying on the support of two holy leaders, has been encroaching on the territory that originally belonged to the Jie and Chan religions.
Both Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu, seeing this situation, knew that if the two religions continued to entangle themselves without a complete resolution, the Western religion and Taoism would likely gain a great advantage.
Thus, with the concerted efforts of both parties,
Xuanyuan's army and Tai Li's Jiuli army engaged in a decisive battle at Zhuolu.
Disciples from both sects, led by their respective leaders, also appeared at the front lines.
After the disciples fought each other, Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu also had a battle in person.
As a result, Yuanshi Tianzun won by a small margin.
With the full support of the Chan Sect, Xuanyuan finally defeated the army of Taili.
All eighty-one of Tai Li's brothers were killed, and Tai Li himself was captured alive by Xuan Yuan's troops.
Then he summoned the Xuanyuan Sword and killed Tai Li in front of the camp gate, bestowing upon him the evil name Chi You.
To prevent Chi You from being resurrected, Xuanyuan summoned two white cranes.
One of the white cranes picked up Chi You's head, carried it to the North Sea, and threw it into the sea.
Another white crane picked up Chi You's body and threw it into a bottomless abyss in the Beiman Mountains...
After this battle, Xuanyuan firmly secured his position as the Human Emperor.
Several thousand years later, he also achieved perfect merit and ascended to the Fiery Cloud Cave in the heavens.
From then on, the human race entered the era of the Five Emperors.
The first of the Five Emperors was named Zhuanxu. After several thousand years, he abdicated and passed the throne to Emperor Ku.
After Emperor Ku attained enlightenment, he flew to Huoyun Cave, where Emperor Yao succeeded him.
Later, Yao passed the throne to Shun, and Shun passed it to Yu.
After Yu the Great, his son Qi became the human king, and the human race completely entered the era of hereditary rule.
The era of abdication thus came to an end.
As the era of the Five Emperors came to an end, the Heavenly Court also welcomed its new master, the Jade Emperor Haotian.
It turns out that after all these years, he and Yaochi finally overcame their tribulations and ascended to the Heavenly Court...
Several thousand years later, while Hu Le was comprehending the primordial chaos at the Heavenly Palace, the Heavenly Court suddenly sent an invitation.
The first Peach Banquet is about to begin...
