73: Chapter 73 Gonggong is forced to do hard labor; The Diary of the Three Sages' Growth
Fuxi had just arrived at the Hougang Tribe when he quickly located the fetus wrapped in the Qi of Literature.
Upon seeing Fuxi, the fetus was attracted by the aura emanating from him and kept waving its little hands at him.
It even made "yia yia" sounds with its mouth.
Fuxi cradled the fetus in his arms and then looked at the mother, saying: "This child was wrapped in the Qi of Literature at birth and is a future Great Sage of our Human Race. I have been ordered by the Heavenly Emperor to come here and take him as my disciple."
Upon hearing this, Cangjie's mother was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly in agreement, accepting this bond of Karma between master and disciple.
Just like that, Fuxi naturally took Cangjie as his disciple and settled down in the Hougang Tribe.
Furthermore, because of Fuxi's instruction that Cangjie's Dao would no longer lead the Human Race, the Hougang Tribe did not publicize it much, and the news of the birth of a Great Sage in the Hougang Tribe only spread within a small circle.
Netherworld, Hall of the Ten Yama Kings.
Ancestral Witch Gong Gong was eating grilled fish while watching his ten siblings processing mountains of documents, and asked: "By the way, does anyone know where Brother Chiyou went?"
"I just went to look for him, but I couldn't find the Witch." Dijiang, at the head, was processing Reincarnation affairs while listening to the sound of Ancestral Witch Gong Gong eating grilled fish nearby; his brows furrowed even tighter, and the spatial Qi around him rippled with irritation.
But he still answered Ancestral Witch Gong Gong's question: "Chiyou has gone to Reincarnation. Also, since you're here, don't just stand there watching; hurry up and come help."
His tone was irritable, clearly exasperated by the tedious tasks and the leisurely Ancestral Witch Gong Gong.
Ancestral Witch Gong Gong continued eating his grilled fish while pushing away the copy of the book of life and death that floated toward him. "Brother, you're trying to trick me again. Ever since you discovered you could give me temporary authority, have you not wanted me to have a single easy day?"
"Not let you have an easy day?" Ancestral Witch Zhu Jiuyin glared at Ancestral Witch Gong Gong, "If you didn't wander in front of us every day, we wouldn't be thinking about making you help us with work every day either."
When an idler wanders in front of people working 997 shifts every day, the workers will definitely be unable to stand it. They then think, regardless of whether the idler knows how to do it or not, they must make him come over to help. This was the mood of the ten Ancestral Witches.
Ancestral Witch Gong Gong: "Got it, got it!" Then, in a puzzled tone: "By the way, why did Brother Chiyou have to go through Reincarnation?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xuanming, who was surrounded by cold air, slowly explained: "As the Common Sovereign of the eternal world, the Human Race possesses vast Luck. Our Witch Race has a lineage of Witch-Humans connected to their Luck, but the status of the Witch-Human lineage within the Human Race is not high. The Saint of Reincarnation specifically told us some time ago to have Chiyou enter Reincarnation and be born into the Human Race to deepen the connection of Luck between the Witch Race and the Human Race."
Ancestral Witch Gong Gong was stunned upon hearing this: "Then why Brother Chiyou? I could have been born into the Human Race too. Life in the Netherworld is too boring."
"Boring?" Ancestral Witch Xuanming sneered, the cold air spreading with her words, causing the temperature in the hall to drop a few degrees. She waved her hand, and another heavy copy of the book of life and death floated in front of Ancestral Witch Gong Gong.
"Since you're bored, hurry up and come over here to work. As for the matter of Reincarnation, don't even think about it! How could you do something that lowers your foundation and pollutes the Father God's Bloodline?"
Ancestral Witch Zhu Jiuyin also chimed in, his snake eyes slightly narrowed, his tone full of resentment: "That's right, what Xuanming said is absolutely correct. Since you're here, don't think about hiding. If you don't finish resolving these Reincarnation matters today, don't think about leaving this Hall of the Ten Yama Kings."
Ancestral Witch Gong Gong looked at the copy of the book of life and death before him, and then at the ten Ancestral Witches, all of whom looked exhausted but had fierce eyes, and quickly waved his hands: "I can't do it, I'll only cause trouble!"
"Causing trouble is still better than you wandering around here!" Dijiang said sternly, the power of space instantly locking the hall doors and cutting off Ancestral Witch Gong Gong's retreat. "Today, you will not shirk your duties. Sit down and work immediately!"
"Fine..." Seeing this, Ancestral Witch Gong Gong could only helplessly swallow the grilled fish, take the temporary authority given by Dijiang, and begin reviewing the copy of the book of life and death.
"Yao Race, stay properly in the eighteenth layer of Hell!" "Human Race, no Karma, Reincarnation into the Human Dao!" "Huh? These Yao Gods are reincarnating again?"
Ancestral Witch Gong Gong glanced at the ten Ancestral Witches beside him. Taking advantage of when they weren't paying attention, he said excitedly: "Hehehe!" "All of you, get into the Beast Dao!"
The ten Ancestral Witches felt the Reincarnation paths assigned to the Yao Gods, and the corners of their mouths all curled up by several centimeters.
Coast of the East Sea, Human Race territory. It had been three years since the birth of the Human Emperor and the two Ancestors. The three Great Sages—Xuan-Yuan, Cangjie, and Chiyou—had all grown up.
Under the guidance of Guangchengzi, Xuan-Yuan displayed extraordinary talent in Cultivation. He began Cultivating at one year old, learned the Yuqing Immortal Technique, and now his cultivation had reached the Half-Step Profound Immortal stage.
Cangjie became the disciple of Fuxi and learned the Dao of Deducing Mountains and Rivers; his cultivation was the same as Xuan-Yuan's, at the Half-Step Profound Immortal stage. Born with double pupils, he followed Fuxi to observe the trends of mountains and rivers during the day and gaze at the stars at night.
Chiyou was the only Great Sage who did not take a master; he followed the Clan Chief of the Witch-Human lineage to Cultivate the Witch Race's body-tempering methods. Every day, he strengthened his muscles and bones using mountain rocks and waterfalls. The essence blood of the Great Witch Chiyou within his body was slowly awakening, and his cultivation had reached the Middle Stage of the Profound Immortal. He was the strongest in cultivation among the three Great Sages.
Meanwhile, in the Jiang Clan Tribe, the Clan Chief of the Jiuli Tribe and the Clan Chief of the Youxiong Tribe arrived simultaneously. In the meeting hall.
The Clan Chief of the Jiuli Tribe spoke first: "Common Sovereign Shennong, Chiyou of my Jiuli Tribe had heavenly phenomena accompanying his birth. In just three years, his cultivation has reached the Middle Stage of the Profound Immortal. I beg the Common Sovereign to teach Chiyou the matters of governing the Human Race!"
Shaodian also immediately said: "My son Xuan-Yuan also had accompanying phenomena at birth and has become the disciple of the Chan Sect Golden Immortal, Guangchengzi. I beg the Common Sovereign to teach Xuan-Yuan!"
The two men looked at Earth Emperor Lie Shan Shi with burning gazes, both hoping that their clansman/son would follow him to learn and be taught the matters of governing the Human Race.
Being stared at by the two men with burning gazes, Earth Emperor Lie Shan Shi helplessly looked at his wife beside him, hoping that Ting Yao could offer a good suggestion.
However, things did not go as planned; with the birth of the three Great Sages, even Ting Yao did not know who the future Common Sovereign of the Human Race would be.
Ting Yao looked at the gaze cast by Earth Emperor Lieshan, gently shook her head, stood up, walked to the center of the hall, and spoke softly, attempting to ease the tense atmosphere: "Two Clan Chiefs, please calm down. Both Xuan-Yuan and Chiyou are Great Sages of the Human Race, each with their own merits, but they are only three years old. The matter of the Common Sovereign of the Human Race cannot be rushed."
Upon hearing this, the tense atmosphere between the two Clan Chiefs eased slightly. Shaodian nodded, "Indeed, we were too impatient."
The Jiuli Clan Chief: "Lady Ting Yao, when can the successor to the Common Sovereign of the Human Race be decided?" The Jiuli Clan Chief's tone was urgent, hoping to decide right now that Chiyou would become the successor of Earth Emperor Lie Shan Shi. It had been so many years for the Witch-Human lineage, and finally, there was a chance for revival; it was no wonder the Jiuli Clan Chief was impatient.
Ting Yao shook her head, "I do not know either; let nature take its course!" "Fine!" Upon hearing this, the two Clan Chiefs were somewhat disappointed, but they also understood the difficulties of Earth Emperor Lie Shan Shi and Ting Yao. A few days later, they left the Jiang Clan Tribe and returned to their own tribes to continue nurturing the Great Sages.
