Chapter 603

"What's hard to guess about that? Although you failed in the Battle of Banquan and passed on the position of tribal leader,"

"the Human Emperor Seal is still in your hands; this shows that you still have concerns in your heart."

"Coming to find me while worried in your heart, isn't that the case?"

Lin Xia said with a smile.

Shennong nodded, sighed, and said:

"The Holy Venerable is wise; I am indeed not greedy for the position of Human Emperor, nor do I have any selfish motives."

"It is just that Xuanyuan-shi is too rigid and fierce, and his actions are radical."

"Although he cleared away many obstacles for the human race through force and established many merits, he also paid a not-insignificant price."

"Stopping war with war is not a long-term solution, so I feel that he likely cannot shoulder the great responsibility."

"Once the position of Human Emperor is passed to him, it is likely to provoke disputes among the tribes and cause the human race to be in internal chaos."

"So I only passed the position of tribal leader to him, but did not pass down the Human Emperor Seal."

"It was just for fear that he would act recklessly and lead to internal chaos in the human race. If the Human Emperor Seal were in my hands, even if he made a great mistake, I would have the opportunity to stand up and clean up the internal chaos."

"It's just that in this way, the inheritance of the human race is severed."

"I find it difficult to choose for a moment, so I came to ask the Holy Venerable for advice."

Lin Xia waved his hand, signaling Shennong to sit down, and then said with a smile:

"Your worries are certainly not wrong, but they are also somewhat too cautious."

"Holy Venerable, why do you say that?"

Shennong was stunned for a moment and said with a frown.

Lin Xia picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said softly:

"In the past, in the Honghuang, the Witch and Demon clans were the overlords of heaven and earth, and ten thousand clans stood tall."

"The human race had weak constitutions and insufficient aptitude, making them unsuitable for cultivation; their foundation was too thin."

"Only by relying on the protection of the Ren Sect could they live peacefully; wanting to develop was extremely difficult."

"So you and Fuxi were born in response to the times."

"You two are both people of great virtue, wise and intelligent, gentle in handling affairs; by relying on benevolence, you could make every tribe submit willingly."

"Tens of thousands of years have passed, and the human race is no longer that weak group."

"Millions and tens of millions of human tribes have sprung up, flourishing to the extreme."
