Chapter 353 Want to learn? I'll teach you!
As Tongtian finished speaking...
Between heaven and earth, a phantom, as vast as heaven and earth and imbued with divine brilliance, slowly appeared before the eyes of all living beings.
At that moment, a clear and solemn voice rang in their minds.
Like a great bell, it seems to embody countless Daoist principles.
It resonated in everyone's hearts.
"I, Houtu... from this day forward, unite with the Dao and become Huangqi (meaning Earth God), spreading the Yellow Springs, the Naihe River, and the Ferryman. All souls and bones of all beings shall tread this boat and cross this river, cleansing themselves of worldly anger and ignorance, and washing away the delusions of life. From this day forward—the living drink from the cooking smoke, the dead enter the Yellow Springs, the cycle of reincarnation is orderly, and the netherworld is governed by law!"
At this moment, all living beings bowed their heads.
They knelt and shouted in the direction of Houtu.
"We pay our respects to the Empress Houtu, the Goddess of the Earth!"
Even the Three Pure Ones had to bow deeply towards Houtu, cupping their hands in greeting.
However, their thoughts were quite complex.
Unlike the bitterness of the three Pure Ones, the group of Ancestral Witches were excitedly howling.
Especially Gonggong in the underworld.
He was so excited that he slapped his thigh.
"Houtu is indeed worthy of her name. In just tens of thousands of years, she directly became a sage, and like Nuwa, she directly merged with the Dao! She successfully became the Lord of the Earth!"
"The Three Pure Ones are going to be utterly humiliated now!"
Although their second uncle had warned them that whether they could become the true descendants of Pangu depended on the merits they accumulated.
But that doesn't stop Gonggong from spouting a few sarcastic remarks!
Upon hearing what Gonggong said, Zhurong, unusually, did not refute him.
He just grinned widely and kept laughing.
And in the wilderness.
Taishang could only shake his head helplessly as he watched Houtu's illusory figure disappear into the distance.
With a wry smile, he let out a long sigh.
That's bad, not only did it slow down Nuwa.
Even Houtu surpassed them.
Moreover, he merged his body with the Dao!
As Houtu merged with the earth, Nuwa merged with the human realm.
There is no longer such a place among the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man.
After all, the Supreme Lord knew that the one who was in harmony with the Heavenly Dao was his own second uncle.
They couldn't possibly be so rebellious as to ask their second uncle to abdicate in their favor, could they?
Fortunately, he seems to have realized his chance to become a saint.
Indeed, just as he thought, this was the path to his sainthood.
This was right there in the newly born human race.
After calming himself down, Taishang slowly walked towards the human in front of him.
Although the human race today is stronger physically, its reproduction rate is not as fast as it used to be.
But after so many years.
The human race has now grown to a size several hundred times larger.
It can be said that, with the current number of humans, they are the undisputed overlords of this land, and even the entire prehistoric world!
However, when the number becomes too large...
They ate a lot.
The holy land of the human race is tens of light-years in circumference.
It was a barren land, where not a single blade of grass could grow!
If those mountains weren't too tough for humans to chew, this place would probably have become a plain by now.
Although the spiritual energy in the Seventh Domain, where the human race is located, is extremely abundant.
Some grassy plants can also grow very quickly.
But that can't keep up with how much humans eat!
Although humans have such strong physical bodies, they absolutely cannot starve to death.
But being hungry is also very uncomfortable.
Not far from the human houses, a young man draped in animal skins lay motionless under the scorching sun, like a corpse, without making a sound.
Even up close, it looks like a corpse.
There was not a trace of vitality in the young man.
If it weren't for the occasional gurgling sounds coming from his stomach.
I really thought it was a dead body.
Taishang looked at the young man, leaning on a wooden cane, and slowly walked up to him with a gentle smile.
He asked softly:
"Young friend, why do you look so haggard?"
Upon hearing the sound, the young man's eyelids twitched slightly. He barely opened his eyes, then glanced at the old man out of the corner of his eye, without even raising his head.
He opened his mouth, and replied in a voice that sounded almost lifeless:
"I'm hungry……"
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Taishang raised an eyebrow slightly, a knowing glint in his eyes.
With his level of cultivation, he could naturally see it.
The young man bears the mark of both Fuxi and Nuwa.
Of course, this was also because Nuwa did not cover it up.
It was as if she was telling all living beings in the primordial world that the current hunger of the human race was caused by her, and that none of them should even think of causing trouble.
Moreover, this is true not only for young people, but for all human beings.
It bears the mark of both Fuxi and Nuwa.
This is why they can still feel hunger even though they live in such a spiritually rich and primordial world.
The Supreme Being merely had a thought.
Then we know why Fuxi did this.
That means if humans didn't feel hunger, they would truly be idle.
That's why Fuxi and Nuwa imposed such a restriction on humankind.
But it doesn't matter, it's just a little hunger.
Once humans have cultivated their skills, they will no longer go hungry.
After learning the whole story, Taishang gently stroked the gourd at his waist, his smile deepening: "Oh? How come you're so hungry? Luckily, I have some food here."
As he spoke, he slowly poured a crystal-clear pill out of the gourd.
The elixir emitted a faint fragrance, as if it could arouse one's most primal appetite.
The Supreme Being handed the elixir to the young man, his tone gentle yet carrying a profound meaning:
"How about this, I'll give you this food, and you tell me about the area around here, okay?"
When the young man heard the word "food," his eyes suddenly lit up with a sharp light.
His entire body stood upright, as if he were a corpse.
His eyes were fixed intently on the pill in the Supreme Elder's hand, and he swallowed rapidly.
"What is this?! I've never seen anything like it before! Is this really edible?! Is this really for me?!"
It's no wonder he was so agitated, considering he had eaten his own house.
He never ate anything again.
What is a house? It was created by Youchao, one of the three ancestors, who feared that the human race's indiscriminate reproduction would defile the eyes of the Holy Mother.
They specially built it out of trees as a place for each human to reproduce.
Youchao even demanded that every human being should have such a house.
There were young people like that in the past.
However, I was so hungry that I couldn't resist eating it.
And since then, he has never eaten anything!
So it's no wonder he was so excited when he heard the Supreme Being say that there was food.
After all, that fragrance was genuinely there.
It smells fucking amazing!
The young man's series of questions did not make Taishang feel impolite.
Just smiled and nodded.
Said softly.
"This is called a pill. Once you eat this, you won't be hungry anymore. You know, this one pill can keep you from being hungry for a long time! How about it? Do you want to learn? If you want to learn, I'll teach you!"
