1833 Repair The Sky, Bagua Deduction, Testing a Hundred Herbs, Wheel of History



"Humans… They are humans." 

Nuwa's eyes glinted. She smiled and repeated, "Yeah, they're humans."

It was the birth of the humans! 

Then, the scenery before Chu Kuangren shifted drastically.

A massive crack appeared in the sky. Rampant storms, scorching fire, and destructive meteors fell out from the crack and wreaked havoc across the land. 

The land lost its balance, and a massive tide came crashing from the sea. 

Countless living beings and humans died in that disastrous phenomenon. It was like the end of the world. 

"Is that the… Heaven's Crack?" Chu Kuangren muttered as he looked at the massive crack in the sky.

The Book of Human Emperors had records regarding this event.

It was named 'Nuwa Repairing the Sky'! 

Further away, a streak of light flew through the storm and fire, the tide and rubbles, and charged toward the massive crack in the sky. The steak of light was surrounded by five-colored stones.

The streak of light was actually Nuwa.

Compared to the Nuwa Chu Kuangren seen by the river, the current Nuwa looked more mature, and she seemed compassionate and holy.

She must have grown more mature after becoming the Mother of Humans and the first Human Emperor.

Seeing that the sky had cracked and the humans she had created were suffering from the disaster, Nuwa could not sit back and watch her creation die before her eyes. Therefore, she refined the five-colored stones to repair the crack in the sky. 

Nuwa flew to the massive crack in the sky, where she raised her hand and hurled the five-colored stones at the crack. The stones that contained endless creation energy started to reshape the universe.

With that, the massive crack started to shrink.

The meteors that flew out from the crack hit Nuwa. However, she had to concentrate on repairing the sky and could not dodge them in time.

When Chu Kuangren saw it, his figure flashed and reappeared beside Nuwa.

He swung his sleeve, releasing his massive Immortal's Core energy to destroy the incoming meteors.

"Thank you." Nuwa glanced at Chu Kuangren and expressed her gratitude. 

However, she did not seem to recognize him from earlier.

Chu Kuangren was not surprised either because the world that the Book of Human Emperors created was not real.

It was just a chapter in the book — a scene that would replay over and over again.

It was not connected to the real river of history.

Chu Kuangren watched Nuwa repair the sky while keeping the meteors away from her.

The power of the meteors was terrifying. 

Some of the bigger ones were strong enough to threaten him. One meteor hit him in the chest, and it almost made him bleed.

He started to wonder if he was teleported to a fictional realm or was just thrown back in time, where everything was happening for real.

If the meteors killed him, would he die for real?

However, he did not stop protecting Nuwa because he, too, was a Human Emperor.

The humans, who were suffering from the calamitous disaster, were all his subjects. Regardless whether it was real or not, he could not stand by and do nothing.

Hence, Chu Kuangren stayed by Nuwa's side and shielded her from countless meteor strikes, allowing her to concentrate on repairing the sky.

Through the massive crack in the sky, Chu Kuangren saw the vital force of chaos. It was as if countless living beings were roaring frantically.

A surge of energy that did not belong to this universe emanated from inside the crack. 

Chu Kuangren's eyes shone.

Did that mean another universe had already attempted an invasion before Nuwa repaired the sky?

Could the massive crack be a portal that allowed another universe to enter the Pan Gu Universe?

Was the event of Nuwa Repairing the Sky actually a means of stopping the invasion from another universe by closing the portal?

As Chu Kuangren pondered, many thoughts flashed across his mind.

A while later, the Heaven's crack was repaired, and the remaining five-colored stones scattered in multiple directions, merging with the land and sea.

After the sky was repaired, the land returned to harmony and peace.

"Thank you for your help," Nuwa said as she bowed to Chu Kuangren.

Then, the scenery before Chu Kuangren changed once more.

This time, he saw a man with a bamboo in his hand and was carving something on it.

Chu Kuangren went closer for a look. The man was actually carving mystical runes on the bamboo.

The runes seemed to represent nature, heaven, and land. It even contained the deduction of the galaxy and even the universe. It felt mystical just by looking at it.

"Is that… Bagua?" Chu Kuangren muttered.

When the man heard his voice, he looked up and sized up Chu Kuangren curiously. "Hey, friend. What did you say?"

"No. Nothing. What are you drawing?"

"I'm drawing heaven and earth."

"Heaven and earth?

"Yeah. This symbol here represents the mountain, and this one is lightning."

Chu Kuangren had a good look at the man's face and recognized the man immediately. The man was Fuxi! 

Fuxi was deducting the Bagua diagram!

The diagram contained countless images and deductions of the galaxy, as well as infinite secrets and changes.

He was the first in history to start the art of deduction.

"However, it feels like the diagram is not complete. I wonder what's missing," Fuxi said in frustration.

Chu Kuangren took a glance at it. He, too, knew a thing or two about Bagua.

After all, he was an expert in formations, and the changes in formations were usually related to the changes in the Bagua diagram.

"You can add some symbols here…"

Chu Kuangren gave his advice based on his memories.

Then, the incomplete Bagua diagram was completed! It was the icing on the cake! It felt like the diagram had come alive as it looked even more mystical.

"I see. I see…" Fuxi was delighted by the completion of the diagram.

He bowed and cupped his fists into a fist salute. "Thank you for your advice, friend."

"You're welcome," Chu Kuangren said with a fist salute as well.

Then, the scenery changed again. Chu Kuangren found himself in an entirely new environment. 

This time, he was on a grassland. 

A young man was twitching and foaming on the grassland further away.

Chu Kuangren glanced over and knew that the young man was poisoned because there were some herbs in his hand.

The herbs looked strange, and a normal person would not take them under any circumstances.

He helped the young man.

"Ah! I'm saved!"

The young man stood up and was glad that he made it.

"What were you doing?"

"I was eating grass. I found out that some grasses have a strange effect and could be used to cure sickness, but some grasses might poison or cause discomfort to the body once taken. I'm testing them all using my own body so that I'll know which type of grasses or herbs are good and bad for the human body," the man said with a tilted head, looking innocent and sincere.

Chu Kuangren exclaimed to himself. The man was Shennong, and he was testing a hundred herbs.

"The world is huge, and many types of herbs exist. How are you going to test them all? Let me help you."

"Really? Thank you, Brother!"

Shennong was delighted.

With that, Chu Kuangren spent a long time testing herbs with Shennong. The effects of all the herbs were written down and compiled into a book.

Then, he was brought to a battlefield.

There were two armies at war.

The leading men of both armies were wielding weapons — one a golden sword and the other a bronze halberd.

"Chiyou, for the sake of the people, I must win!"

"Hahaha! Xuanyuan, skip the chatters, and let us fight with our hearts!"

The sword and halberd clashed, stirring up a dust storm around them. 

It was the Battle of Chasing Deer.

Chu Kuangren watched them fight. He did not know who to help, so he stayed out of that battle.

Then, the scenery changed again.

Chu Kuangren experienced the major events throughout the history of humans through the Book of Human Emperors.

He helped Nuwa create Humans and protected her while she repaired the sky. He guided Fuxi in developing the Bagua diagram, helped Shennong in testing a hundred herbs, and witnessed the Battle of Chasing Deer. He also discovered fire with Suiren, cured the flood with Yu the Great, killed Xiangyu and Wuzhiqi, two wild beasts that terrorized the world, divided the land into nine provinces, and more.

Time flew as the wheel of history rolled forward.

Chu Kuangren participated in all the major events throughout the human race's history and witnessed the rise and fall of the entire race.
