The words of Suirenshi startled everyone, and they all gathered around. Seeing Suirenshi, they all hurriedly asked:
"Suirenshi, what are you shouting about?"
Suirenshi saw everyone had come over and said:
"I've found a way to drive away the night!"
As Suirenshi spoke, he placed the suimwood he had brought onto the ground, and then began to drill wood to make fire!
The crowd watched the small flame that suddenly appeared and felt it was magical!
After Suirenshi started the fire, he placed some dry twigs next to the flame, and after a while, the fire grew considerably larger!
Suirenshi then added some larger branches to the bonfire, which soon blazed into a roaring inferno!
Everyone curiously gathered around the bonfire, feeling that this fire could bring them warmth, and they were all overjoyed!
News of Suirenshi's tribe possessing fire quickly spread throughout the human tribes, and all the tribes were very curious, sending people to Suirenshi's tribe!
Suirenshi also discovered that meat roasted with fire tasted delicious, more so than raw meat!
This discovery also made Suirenshi extremely happy. He had not expected that his search for light in the darkness would bring so many benefits! At the same time, Suirenshi named it "fire"!
Suirenshi quickly informed the tribal chief of this discovery. The tribal elders found that it did indeed taste much better, and thus Suirenshi completely entered the era of cooked food!
When people from various tribes arrived, the people of Suirenshi's tribe entertained them with cooked food.
After tasting the deliciousness of cooked food, everyone decided that they must bring this fire back to their own tribes, so that they could all eat this delicious food in the future!
Some people reached out to grab the flames, but not only did they fail to grab it, they were also burned by the flames!
Seeing this, Suirenshi taught everyone the method of drilling wood to make fire!
After everyone left satisfied, Yan Zishi looked at her distant husband with immense satisfaction.
Yan Zishi was the one who invented the technique of twisting bark into ropes, hence she was also called the Plain Woman!
Just as the human race and various tribes were making flames using Suirenshi's method of drilling wood, heavenly merit clouds suddenly gathered above Suirenshi, and the voice of the Heavenly Dao sounded between heaven and earth:
"Suirenshi of the human race drilled wood to make fire, which is of great significance to the development of the human race. Now, heavenly merit is specially bestowed!"
As soon as the voice of the Heavenly Dao sounded, Taishang, who was far away in Kunlun, suddenly changed his expression and instantly appeared beside Suirenshi!
After the voice of the Heavenly Dao fell, boundless merit descended upon Suirenshi, more than any merit bestowed upon Fuxi before!
Seeing Taishang suddenly appear beside him, Suirenshi immediately bowed happily:
"Greetings, Holy Father!"
Taishang nodded, took out a Yellow Middle Plum, and said:
"Eat this fruit after a while before absorbing the heavenly merit!"
Suirenshi nodded, took the Yellow Middle Plum from Taishang's hand, and ate it. Then, the merit of heaven and earth surged towards Suirenshi!
With the help of the Yellow Middle Plum, only a small portion of the merit was absorbed by Suirenshi, reaching the Great Luo perfection realm!
The remaining merit all flowed towards the suimwood branch that Suirenshi used to drill wood for fire!
After absorbing a massive amount of merit, the suimwood branch transformed into a sacred artifact of merit. The original form of the suimwood branch remained unchanged, but the burnt end ignited a flame of gold mixed with yellow!
The moment the first sacred artifact of merit was born in the human race, the human race's fortune greatly increased. Fuxi, who was connected to the human race's fortune, instantly felt this change! Su Dan Novel Network
Fuxi was overjoyed, not expecting the human race's fortune to solidify so much, nor did he expect that a sacred artifact of merit that he himself had not created would appear!
Fuxi also headed towards Suirenshi's tribe!
As Suirenshi's merit golden light had just dispersed, another mass of merit clouds gathered in the sky, and a considerable amount of merit suddenly descended towards the distant Plain Woman!
The Plain Woman was the inventor of ropes for the human race. Even Fuxi's fishing net was based on her invention. With the growth of the human race, this merit was bound to come!
Taishang nodded with satisfaction as he looked at the merit in the sky. This couple was his goal for this trip!
Although the Plain Woman invented ropes, she had not grasped the most important aspect!
After the Plain Woman absorbed that merit, two golden ropes appeared in her hands, one thick and one thin! These were the first ropes of the human race!
Suirenshi immediately stepped forward, pulled the Plain Woman, and bowed to Taishang!
Taishang nodded and looked at the Plain Woman, saying:
"Yan Zishi! You invented ropes for the human race, but have you not discovered what is missing?"
The Plain Woman heard this and did not know what Taishang was referring to! She looked at Taishang with confusion!
Taishang shook his head, realizing this girl still didn't understand!
Taishang then asked:
"Plain Woman, are there any important events in the tribe?"
The Plain Woman nodded and told Taishang all the major events that had happened in the tribe, such as Suirenshi drilling wood to make fire being a major event!
And Fuxi raising livestock to supplement the kitchen was also a major event, etc.!
Taishang listened quietly as the Plain Woman spoke. After she finished, Taishang asked again:
"What serves as proof?"
The Plain Woman was immediately stunned. Yes, what served as proof? How long had it been? When did these things happen?
Taishang looked at the stunned Plain Woman, his lips curled, and he returned to Kunlun!
After pondering for a long time, the Plain Woman looked at the rope in her hand and came up with a method: tying knots to record events!
From now on, for matters in the tribe, big matters will be knotted, small matters will be knotted. The number of knots will vary according to the number of people, and each person will hold them to verify and govern each other!
The Plain Woman finally understood the meaning of Taishang's questions. Just as she was about to thank Taishang for his guidance, she opened her eyes and found that Taishang had already disappeared!
The Plain Woman looked at Suirenshi, who said:
"The Holy Father has already left!"
Upon hearing this, the Plain Woman tied three knots on the thicker rope in her hand! Representing Fuxi's netting to teach fishing, raising livestock to supplement the kitchen, and Suirenshi's drilling wood to make fire!
Just as the Plain Woman finished, the voice of the Heavenly Dao sounded again between heaven and earth:
"Yan Zishi's method of tying knots to record events provides proof for the major events of the human race. Heavenly merit is specially bestowed!"
Then, a large amount of merit from heaven and earth descended, and the second sacred artifact of merit of the human race was born!
Fuxi, who was rushing towards Suirenshi's tribe, heard this voice and was overjoyed. Today was truly a double celebration, with the human race gaining two sacred artifacts of merit in one day!
At the same time, with the two sacred artifacts of merit suppressing the human race's fortune, Fuxi no longer had to worry about the possibility of the human race's fortune declining!
On Mount Sumeru in the west, Zhunti looked at the human race repeatedly receiving heavenly merit with a dark expression and directly entered seclusion. If he couldn't obtain it, he would rather not know, to avoid ruining his state of mind!
When Fuxi arrived at Suirenshi's tribe, he looked at the sacred artifacts of merit in the hands of Suirenshi and Yan Zishi and said:
"The two of you are truly fortunate for the human race!"
Suirenshi and the Plain Woman quickly bowed to Fuxi and said:
"Greetings, Co-lord Fuxi!"
Fuxi laughed heartily, helped them up, and said:
"There is no need for such formality. I am here today to thank you both for your contributions to our human race. You have opened a new era for the human race!"
Suirenshi and the Plain Woman quickly replied:
"As members of the human race, it is our duty!"
Fuxi laughed heartily and said:
"Good, good!"
