Fu Xi’s eyes grew brighter and brighter as he excitedly exclaid, "I’ve got it! I’ve thought of sothing!"
Fu Xi imdiately gathered his tribespeople, pooling the strength of the entire clan to weave a large, twisted vine net. With stones tied beneath it, a group waded into the river to drag the net along.
Splash! The big fishes fiercely collided within the net, and after only a short distance, it could no longer be pulled.
The Clan Leader excitedly shouted, "Lift the net!"
"Lift!"
"Lift it!"
...The big n pulling the net chanted in unison, straining to lift the net, and within it, heaps of big fish thrashed about, their scales gleaming white in the sunlight.
People on the shore were utterly astonished by this bountiful scene—such a multitude of big fish!
Then, a thunderous cheer erupted, with so even jumping into the net, hugging the fish and kissing them to express their overwhelming joy. With this net, they would no longer worry about food, easily obtaining substantial sustenance without danger, no more fear of going hungry.
Standing by the shore, with a smile on his face and moist eyes, Hua Xu said, "Holy Envoy, thank you!"
Fu Xi also smiled, his chest filled with surging excitent. This must be the kind of knowledge beneficial to all of the Human Clan that his teacher had ntioned!
Two inconspicuous beams of Jinguang shone down from the sky. One entered Fu Xi, settling quietly within, while the other landed upon the great net. The net flashed with a divine, yellow aura invisible to mortals, transforming it into a resilient Divine Artifact of the Human Clan’s rit.
Co evening, Fu Xi led his people, carrying the weighty net to Thunder Marsh, and excitedly shouted, "Master, I caught fish, a lot and lots of fish!"
All other human tribes watched Thunder Marsh with reverence—the great Holy Envoy resided within.
Gu Liang floated out from the passage, gesturing to summon several fresh big fish from the net to her side.
Gu Liang gave a thumbs up, praising, "Fu Xi, well done, co back!"
Fu Xi turned to look at Hua Xu and, reluctant to leave, said, "Mother, I must go."
With a content expression, Hua Xu replied, "Go on then! Rember to listen to your master."
"Right!" Fu Xi nodded firmly, swiftly swimming towards the narrow passage, his little face flushed with excitent.
After the young and old pair vanished into the passage, the Hua Xu’s Human Clan, still abuzz with excitent, carried the giant net and departed.
...
Inside the Thunder Marsh Bird’s Nest, four people sat around a table enjoying a feast of whole fish.
Fu Xi burst out, "Master, today I saw a spider spinning a web, which sparked the idea to weave a large net with my people. We caught so many fish, and now my people will never lack for fish to eat."
Bai Jin replied with a smile, "I know already, but having enough to eat is not enough. The Human Clan also needs to protect itself. Later, I will teach you a Cultivation thod that you can choose to pass on to your people. That will be your power to protect yourselves."
Fu Xi called out joyfully, "Yes! Thank you, Master."
A year later, Fu Xi ca to Bai Jin, asking, "Master, what about your clothes? I want my people to wear such beautiful and comfortable clothing as well."
Making clothes? Isn’t that what Leizu is for? No matter, what matters more, Leizu or the devoted disciple Fu Xi?
Bai Jin gently ruffled Fu Xi’s hair, smiling, "Go to Gu Liang."
"Oh!"
Fu Xi went to find Gu Liang, who was planting mushrooms inside Thunder Marsh, and asked the sa question.
Gu Liang, stroking her chin, earnestly said, "We Cultivators can dress in Clouds or Qingfeng, make garnts of gold stone or Condensed Water Dew, but such thods are beyond the reach of the Human Clan.
I rember so lower-grade magical robes are made from Heavenly Silkworm Silk, which can be used to make clothing."
Not long after, with instructions from Gu Liang, Fu Xi made the first Human Clan silk garnt and was blessed with rit from the heavens.
"Master, the houses built from trees are too cold in winter, the chill wind whistles through," lanted Fu Xi.
"Co and play with mud with your master!"
"Master, the food my people eat is so bland."
"Co, your master will teach you how to make condints—one part salt, three parts flavor, one spicy bit stands out tenfold."
"Master, my people have no tableware."
"Let’s go, your master will teach you how to play with fire!"
"Master, I’m going to be a Clan Leader."
Bai Jin looked at the respectful young man before him and felt a wave of emotion. It hadn’t been easy to raise this one.
Bai Jin slowly said, "Fu Xi, as a Clan Leader, your responsibilities will be even greater. Don’t let a small tribe blind you; your vision should encompass the entire Human Clan. Your duty is to bring prosperity to all the people."
Fu Xi nodded firmly, "Yes! I understand." He then swam away from Thunder Marsh.
Shi Ji and Gu Liang approached Bai Jin.
Shi Ji reflected, "The little one has grown up so much in the blink of an eye."
Gu Liang asked, "Elder Brother, do we need to give Fu Xi a hand?"
Bai Jin, in a lazy tone, replied, "No rush, let sleep on it." He turned to walk towards the Bird’s Nest.
Gu Liang stamped her foot and called out, "Elder Brother, what if Fu Xi encounters danger? What if so Great Power plots against him?"
Bai Jin’s lackadaisical voice carried over, "Don’t worry! Fu Xi will certainly be the safest Human Emperor."
After becoming the Clan Leader of the Hua Xu tribe, Fu Xi rapidly expanded the tribe, subduing the surrounding tribes, and took a hundred years to unify the Human Clan. He established the capital at Chen, reford marriage, ending communal marriages, distributed surnas, and with hints from Bai Jin, created writing for the Human Clan, dosticated animals, and established round coins with a square hole as currency, infusing vitality into the great unified Human Clan. The substantial Human Clan’s Destiny enveloped the skies of the Primordial World.
