Inside the Huoyun Cave, just as Fuxi brought Cangjie back, a voice suddenly rang out from outside!
"Xuanyuan, the leader of the Human race's Xuanyuan Tribe, seeks an audience with His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor!"
Within Huoyun Cave, Fuxi and Shennong sat opposite each other. Upon hearing Xuanyuan's request, Fuxi and Shennong frowned!
"Shennong, why do you think Xuanyuan is seeking an audience so suddenly?"
Shennong shook his head and smiled faintly:
"We'll know once we go out and see!"
Everyone in Huoyun Cave had also heard Xuanyuan's voice. Unsure why Xuanyuan had come to Huoyun Cave so abruptly, they all rushed out of the cave!
Upon seeing Fuxi, Xuanyuan spoke with apprehension:
"Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor, you have entered Huoyun Cave for secluded cultivation. Xuanyuan wishes to request that Your Majesty abdicate the position of Human race's co-lord!"
The crowd was greatly shocked by Xuanyuan's words! They all turned to look at Fuxi, wondering what he would say!
Fuxi was also quite taken aback, not expecting Xuanyuan to be asking him to step down. Sudancn.com
Fuxi looked at Xuanyuan, then at Shennong, and sighed:
"Very well. Since I entered Huoyun Cave, I have had little time to attend to tribal affairs. I shall yield to a successor!"
Xuanyuan was overjoyed upon hearing this:
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor, for your magnanimity!"
After hearing Fuxi's words, Shennong knew that the position of the second co-lord of the Human race would undoubtedly go to Xuanyuan!
Since the conflict between humans and witches in the southwest, Xuanyuan's prestige among the Human race had been extremely high. If Shennong were still in his tribe, Xuanyuan might not have had such certainty. Now that Shennong had entered Huoyun Cave, there was no one in the world who could compete with Xuanyuan!
Seeing that Fuxi had agreed, Xuanyuan did not linger and immediately hurried back to his Xuanyuan Tribe!
After Xuanyuan departed, Shennong looked at Fuxi:
"What do you think Xuanyuan's intentions are?"
Fuxi smiled and shook his head:
"Descendants will handle their own affairs. Let him be!"
Shennong nodded and, along with everyone else, returned to Huoyun Cave to cultivate!
Upon Xuanyuan's return to his tribe, the leaders of various Human tribes also gradually arrived!
Xuanyuan summoned the individuals he had sent to inform the leaders of the four tribes of Cansang, Liushu, Shanshi, and Jingguang.
"What did the four Madam say? Will they come?"
The person looked at Xuanyuan and replied with difficulty:
"Chieftain, the four Madam all said that their tribes are newly established small tribes and will not participate."
Xuanyuan sighed upon hearing this and then dismissed the person to attend to other matters.
Xuanyuan instructed the tribespeople to entertain the leaders of the various tribes well. Only after nearly all the Human tribes had arrived did Xuanyuan gather everyone together.
"Esteemed leaders of the tribes, I have invited you here today for a momentous occasion for our Human race, to jointly discuss the next co-lord of the Human race!"
As soon as Xuanyuan spoke, the hall erupted in discussion.
"Xuanyuan, isn't the co-lord of the Human race His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor Fuxi? What is this you are doing?"
"Indeed, such a major affair should be discussed with His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor!"
Xuanyuan smiled slightly upon hearing this!
"Everyone, I know this matter is of great importance. I have already made a trip to Huoyun Cave in advance. His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor has agreed!"
Only then did the crowd feel at ease, and they all looked at Xuanyuan and said:
"Chieftain Xuanyuan is a virtuous individual among our Human race. Why don't you assume the position of the second co-lord of the Human race?"
Upon hearing this, everyone else also agreed. Seeing that everyone supported him as the second co-lord of the Human race, Xuanyuan feigned a brief refusal before accepting the position!
Seeing that Xuanyuan had accepted, everyone immediately knelt and bowed:
"We pay homage to our race's co-lord!"
Xuanyuan laughed heartily and asked everyone to rise. Now that Xuanyuan had become the co-lord of the Human race, he could proceed with his subsequent plans!
"Everyone, now that I am the co-lord of the Human race, I will frankly discuss the shortcomings of our Human tribes!"
"Currently, our tribes act independently, which is not proper. I suggest that among neighboring tribes, we select a strong tribe, and all other tribes will merge into that tribe. Then, we will build high walls around them to form a new city!"
"In this way, we will no longer fear beastly invasions or foreign enemies!"
Upon hearing this, everyone felt that Xuanyuan's proposal was indeed excellent and agreed to it.
Xuanyuan watched as they discussed in small groups which tribe to merge into, a slight smile playing on his lips. In this way, Leizu, Mo Mu, and the others would return to his side!
