Chapter 699: Problems Encountered by Xuanyuan
Although Xuanyuan was very organized when managing the Youxiong tribe, and he was also the successor chosen by Shennong and had extremely high legitimacy, there was a huge difference between managing the entire human race and managing a tribe!
As the saying goes, the imperial power does not extend to the countryside. Although the human race is now a whole, it is divided into independent small regimes! It was better when Shennong was in power, because Shennong made great contributions to the human race, and all human races respected Shennong very much. If Shennong issued an order in Chendu, even if the tribal leaders did not implement it 100%, they would have 80 to 90 percent completion!
However, Xuanyuan now only holds the title of the successor of Shennong. If one really counts, his contribution to the human race is negligible. It is also for this reason that Xuanyuan's current position as the co-leader is actually only nominal. It is simply a pipe dream for him to interfere in the internal affairs of other tribes!
It is for this reason that the policies that Xuanyuan conveyed from Chendu, especially those that are detrimental to the interests of tribal leaders, are basically shelved. Ordinary people do not even have the right to know about these convenient policies!
You have to know that the wilderness is vast and boundless. It would take a long time for a saint to travel around the entire world, let alone mortals who have no cultivation at all!
Generally speaking, mortals will basically stay where they were born for their entire lives. As for leaving the tribe where they were born and raised and going to other tribes, that is simply a pipe dream. After all, even if a mortal has nothing to worry about when traveling between two tribes, he cannot reach the nearest tribe before he dies!
There is actually a reason why the ancient human tribes are so far apart, and the reason is actually very simple, just two words: "resources"!
Although the human race is spread throughout the entire prehistoric world, and even in the harsh environment of the west there are still many humans surviving, the territories that the human race can occupy are basically remote and poor places that even ordinary cultivators are unwilling to go to!
It is precisely because the territory occupied by the human race is extremely poor, and the resources that can be harvested per unit area are pitifully small. If the sphere of influence is not expanded, the practitioners of those tribes will not even be able to absorb the spiritual energy in the air!
As for not practicing, that is simply a joke. After all, although the place where the human race lives is remote and poor, and few independent practitioners are willing to go there, this does not mean that there is no danger in the place where the human race lives!
If the qualified cultivators in the tribe stopped practicing, how would they survive if they were attacked by irrational wild beasts or fierce beasts? They couldn't just rely on numbers to kill the wild beasts or fierce beasts, right?
As for praying for the protection of gods, just forget about it. After all, given the vastness of the ancient world, unless the gods have left their divine consciousness in the tribe to be used for rescue, otherwise if they only rely on a group of mortals, by the time the gods react, the tribe would have been reduced to dust!
Not to mention, there are really not many gods existing in the ancient world, and there are even fewer gods willing to protect the human race all the time. After all, unless their talents are exhausted, no living being is willing to give up on making further progress in their cultivation!
What's more, dealing with the crisis of the human race is even more boring. Even if there are gods, no matter how high their passion is, they cannot withstand the deification of the machine over and over again!
Generally speaking, in order to ensure that the cultivators have enough spiritual energy to absorb in the air during their practice, the distance between tribes is basically very far. Normally, only those humans who have become immortals are qualified to travel between the two tribes!
To get back to the point, at the beginning, Xuanyuan was planning to have a good discussion with those tribal leaders, but those tribal leaders basically only cared about their own interests and still selectively implemented the policies issued by Xuanyuan!
The non-cooperation of those tribal leaders eventually angered Xuanyuan, the leader of the human race who had just succeeded to the throne and wanted to make great achievements. Xuanyuan also felt that it was not a good thing to continue like this, so he made up his mind to integrate the human race and turn it into a complete whole!
