This primordial world is not serious!

Chapter 1044 - 498: Shennong's Wrath

The virtues of the Shennong Clan are like the warm sunlight, selflessly shining upon every inch of land in the Mortal World.

He governs the world never relying on sheer force and repression, but rather adopts gentle methods akin to a refreshing and nurturing spring rain.

Clad in hemp clothing, this benevolent Common Lord places great importance on nurturing the talents and assessing the virtues of the leaders of the Human Race.

After thorough deliberation, he formally established an assessment system — monthly evaluations and year-end tributes.

Every month, Chen Capital dispatches professional priests and divine officers to various major tribes, divine countries in all directions, and worlds to conduct detailed and fair assessments of their various administrative aspects.

And at the end of each year, the leaders of the tribes must personally go to Chen Capital to present the most bountiful yields and tributes of the year to the Common Lord, and report their achievements and faults in person.

The establishment of this system undoubtedly allows the Human Dao Ten Thousand Clans to take a solid step forward on the path of united development.

However, the wheels of history roll forward, always with some stubborn stones attempting to stop the chariot.

While most strive to catch up with the tides of the era, some think of reversing the course of history.

For example — the Su Sha Clan.

This small tribe nestled in a corner seems to have a leader with an inherently unusual mindset.

Perhaps due to repeatedly failing the monthly evaluations, he feared the severe punishment at the year-end tribute by the Shennong Common Lord.

Or perhaps he is simply foolish to an incurable degree.

In any case, he committed an act significant enough to alarm the entire Human Race, and even the Human World.

He rebelled!

The Su Sha Clan killed the assessment priests sent from Chen Capital, then openly launched a rebellion!

When this news reached Chen Capital.

In the medicine garden, carefully tending to a newly discovered Immortal Herb, the entire Shennong Clan was bewildered.

He found it somewhat unbelievable.

Seeing that he was about to achieve complete Merit and was almost ready to retire to hold the Fengshan Ceremony at Taishan.

At this critical juncture, a rebellion erupts in the Human World?

"Is it because I promoted the Five Grains that the Su Sha Clan was fed too well, leaving them nothing to do?"

The Shennong Clan furrowed his brow, falling into deep self-doubt.

After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't fathom why the Su Sha Clan would rebel?

"Common Lord!"

A hurried sound of footsteps interrupted his thoughts.

A robust young Daoist in a crimson Daoist robe, with a square face and a stable aura as steady as a mountain, approached quickly.

"Common Lord."

Duobao Taoist bowed respectfully to the Shennong Clan, his usually stern face showing an unmistakable seriousness.

"Are you aware of the Su Sha matter?"

His hand unconsciously gripped the hilt of his sword, his eyes flashing with a sharp cold gleam.

"Should we immediately dispatch the imperial army of Chen Capital to suppress the rebellion?"

Duobao Taoist seemed particularly invested in this matter.

Recently, under his efforts, the Jie Sect managed to establish a decent presence within the Human Dao.

The task of propagating the Jie Sect seemed on the brink of success.

A small Su Sha rebellion was hardly a concern for him.

But his real worry was whether there were unseen hands stirring trouble behind this incident!

The Shennong Clan, hearing this, shook his head.

He bent down again, gently loosening the soil around the Immortal Herb with his small medicine hoe.

"There's no need to worry."

His voice remained calm.

"The mere Su Sha cannot stir up much trouble."

As he tended to the Immortal Herb, he casually instructed.

"Pass down my order, instruct the Four Directions Tribes surrounding Su Sha to capture them."

Though touched by a bit of Vitality due to this sudden rebellion,

Shennong couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

Like a vast forest always having a few crooked trees.

Every race inevitably produces some inexplicably peculiar beings.

The Human Race now numbers in the trillions, with such a vast population, the emergence of a fool like the Su Sha Clan is hardly a significant matter.

After speaking, he waved his hand, signaling Duobao not to worry.

The Human Race's Common Lord had already spoken.

Despite the lingering doubts in his heart, Duobao could only bow and obey.

"Yes, Common Lord."

He responded respectfully, then turned and left.

He instructed the disciples within the sect to keep a close eye on the movements on Su Sha's side, while he continued to attend to other matters.

And indeed, the course of events unfolded as Shennong expected.

The foolish Su Sha leader, with his few loyal followers, defiantly vowed to defy the orders of Chen Capital.

However, as soon as Shennong's orders were issued, the tribes surrounding Su Sha immediately took action.

The numerous leaders held a mobilization assembly.

"Brothers and sisters, we have always cherished the benevolence of the Shennong Common Lord."

"It is the Shennong Common Lord who taught us to cultivate the Five Grains, allowing everyone to dine and pursue Cultivation Immortality."

"It is the Shennong Common Lord who enlightened us on the way of medicine, making everyone unafraid of injury, happily cultivating immortality."

"Now, the foolish leader of the Su Sha Clan dares to betray such a great Common Lord."

"He seeks to destroy the development achievements in the Mortal World, stopping us from eating and joyfully pursuing Cultivation Immortality."

"Tell me, is this something we can tolerate?"

The united tribal army roared in unison: "No!"

The leaders urged: "Then join us in crushing the Su Sha Clan!"
