Chapter 685: The Village Spreading the Epidemic

It’s just that the life span in the prehistoric world today is limited, unlike when Emperor Fuxi was alive. After becoming an immortal, as long as one does not die in the hands of outsiders, one will have endless life.

In order to prevent Shennong from dying of old age during his reign, even though Shennong had no time to practice, his strength was improved to the early stage of Golden Immortal with the help of a large number of spiritual fruits and golden elixirs!

Of course, in order to allow Shennong to practice independently after his abdication, Zhen Yuanzi provided Shennong with practice resources that were all good things that would not harm his foundation, but would help Shennong consolidate his foundation!

Although things that can improve one's cultivation are good, Shennong has not fought with others since he started practicing. Therefore, it is considered good that Shennong can exert 20% to 30% of his Golden Immortal Realm strength!

Back to the topic, Shennong was very interested in those villagers who hid far away when they saw him. In order to find out the truth, Shennong chose to enter the village to find out!

Just as Shennong was about to walk into the village, the local soil emerged from the earth and stopped Shennong, preventing him from moving forward!

Seeing the land blocking the road, Shennong was very curious about what had happened in the village ahead that caused the land to block the road!

"Lord of the Land, I don't know why you are blocking my way!

"Master Shennong, it's not that I am unreasonable, but the villagers don't want you to take the risk! A few days ago, a plague broke out in this village. All the mortals in the village were infected by the plague and were dying. Even the cultivators were most likely to be afflicted with the plague, but their symptoms were milder than those of ordinary people!

In order to solve the epidemic, the human race in the village specifically asked me to go to the Nuwa Temple to seek help from the temple keeper, but the temple keeper told me that this was a disaster for the human race, and if we practitioners got involved, it would only make the epidemic worse and we would be plagued by the plague. If we couldn't solve it before our vitality was exhausted, then it would be the time for the practitioners to die!"

After hearing the words of the Earth God, Shennong was also thoughtful. Since he was a child, he knew that he was born with the mission of making the human race stronger. He was the natural emperor of the human race!

While he is leading the human race and making it stronger, the human race will also face new crises, and he needs to solve these crises in order to make the human race stronger and more qualified to become the protagonist of the eternal world of prehistoric times!

Soon, Shennong thought of what he saw and heard when he was touring the ancient world. Before humans were completely transformed into mortal bodies, they had no concept of illness.

However, as the human race continued to multiply, more and more humans turned into mortals, and various diseases appeared among the human race!

In order to solve the complex and diverse diseases, the human race began to seek help from monks, and the Nuwa Temple became the first choice for the human race when facing diseases.

The temple priests of Nuwa Temple are also very generous. As long as humans are willing to come, they will do their best to rescue them. If they encounter a disease that even the temple priests find difficult to deal with, they will choose to report to their superiors!

The human race at that time was not as complicated as those in later generations. The temple keepers helped them get rid of diseases, and they would thank the temple keepers devoutly, and thank the Nuwa goddess whom they believed in, which made the Nuwa temple very popular!

Originally, Shennong thought that the temple priests could help them as before, but who would have thought that a disease would appear that even the temple priests could not solve!

Thinking of this, Shennong couldn't help but feel a little pessimistic. After all, without the help of the temple priests, they, the human race, didn't know how to treat their people's diseases!

But soon, Shennong adjusted his mentality and remembered the motto that Zhen Yuanzi had taught him: Heaven is vigorous in movement, and a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement; the Earth is in a low state, and a gentleman should carry the world with virtue!

In this world, everyone has times when they are unreliable. Only yourself is the one who can be relied upon at all times. So instead of asking for help from those monks with higher cultivation, you might as well see if you can find a solution yourself!
