Chapter 788: The Human Race’s Development, A Ravaging Blizzard, A Signal Of Invitation

Above the Emperor Mountain.

The Human King Seal remained suspended in the air for a brief moment before it gradually sunk to Chu Kuangren’s hands. Chu Kuangren felt that the seal had somehow changed.

Although it was still made from the same materials, the energy that flowed through it was different.

“Lil Ai, analyze this seal.”

“Analyzing… This is the Human King Seal, forged out of a combination of Heavenly Might and the human race’s fortune. It’s a weapon made solely for the Human King…”

New information about the Human King Seal flooded Chu Kuangren’s mind.

A wide grin appeared on his face.

It was a weapon made solely for the Human King.

He did not expect to reap such a reward during this ceremony. It seemed like the Heavenly Dao was fond of the human race. Perhaps humans were meant to rule the lands after all.

He suspected that the Heavenly Dao would have acknowledged another person to become the Human King to fight against the gods, even without his appearance.

Chu Kuangren pondered for a moment before he decided to forget about it. With a flick of his Emperor Thought, the Human King Seal vanished in his palms and kept in his soul.

The Human King Seal possessed mythical properties as it was a treasure bestowed by the heavens. As long as the Human King wielded this weapon, it did not require any refinement to be used.

In contrast, any cultivators, who were not the Human King, would not be able to use it no matter how hard they tried.

The ceremony ended.

The cultivators began to leave Emperor Mountain.

Following that, many issues kept them busy.

For example, how should the tribes merge, how best to migrate the populations, and so on.

Chu Kuangren managed to settle most of these issues amicably. During his discussions with Yan Wu and the high-ranking members, he was able to accurately pinpoint the flaws in their proposal and suggested effective feedback.

Take migrating the populations, for example.

Yan Wu suggested for all of the several tribes’ members to move into a single location so that they could care for each other. His intention was right.

However, he neglected the fact that every tribe had its own traditions and ways of living. To have all of the members live together so quickly would inevitably result in clashes of cultures and ways of living.

As such, Chu Kuangren suggested sending representatives to each tribe to share their sophisticated cultures and practices with the new settlements. Then, they could gradually make the transformation.

When the time was ripe, they could merge the tribes.

By then, the era of tribal living would come to an end.

A new nation would arise in its place.

“The King does see things from a different perspective. Our foresight is only so shallow compared to the King’s. What a remarkable person.”

“Indeed, there is no one more fit to be King than him.”

Yan Wu and Feng Gu lamented in private.

After Chu Kuangren became the Human King, he did not immediately implement a series of drastic changes. Instead, he took things gradually and slowly.

After all, weaponsmithing and refining pills had already made a huge change to the human race in just under a year.

A sudden dramatic change would only catch everyone off guard.

“Luckily, I was once a Sect Leader myself. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to manage so many issues at once.”

Chu Kuangren lamented to himself.

As time flew by, several years had passed.

Several years may not be significant in the grand scheme of human history. In fact, it was even negligible to many cultivators.

However, Chu Kuangren had managed to lift the living standards of countless humans several levels higher.

In many lands across the firmament, humans were singing praises to Chu Kuangren’s contributions.

“King, this is the latest numbers for our tribes’ population.”

Yan Wu passed a sheet to Chu Kuangren.

Chu Kuangren read through it briefly and said, “Not bad. This is a thirty-percent increase compared to the previous year. Are we facing any shortages in terms of food?”

“Thanks to your discovery of paddies, potatoes, and other plants, humanity’s food supply is now at a steady state.”

Yan Wu smiled widely.

“Mm, that’s great.”

Chu Kuangren nodded.

From his perspective, humanity’s greatest strength was in its next generation. As its population grew, so would the number of cultivators and elites.

Humans were typically weaker species compared to others.

However, they were best at reproducing.

It would not take many years before an infant human would mature.

It was a stark contrast to many beasts, in which pregnancy alone could consume up to a thousand years. It would take even more time for an infant beast to grow into adulthood.

Chu Kuangren stared outside his room.

He did know when a heavy snowstorm had ensued.

The lands were dyed with a pristine layer of whiteness.

Chu Kuangren stepped outside and watched as the snow fell around him. He could not help but reach out to grab a snowflake and watch it melt in his hands.

Greenie came by and wrapped a coat around him.

“Thank you.”

Chu Kuangren felt his body warming up with the coat.

Although he could use his mind power to isolate the chilling sensation, he would rather live like a normal person.

He would rather experience what the world had to offer with his five senses.

In the past few years, his soul energy had increased even further. Unfortunately, his body was still lacking behind in terms of refining qi. Compared to his previous body, it was a world apart.

As such, Chu Kuangren did not bother to refine qi at all. He merely concentrated on cultivating his mind power.

He was not worried about the lifespan of this body either. All it took was a few pills, and he would be practically immortal.

Chu Kuangren watched as the snow began to coat the garden. With a smile, he said, “It looks like the snowfall came especially early this year. Let’s hope a prosperous year awaits us ahead.”

“It will be.” Yan Wu smiled and said.

However, seven days later, the snow did not halt.

Instead, it grew more intense.

On this day, Chu Kuangren was staring at the blizzard that rampaged outside while Yan Wu frowned beside him. “King, this snowstorm has been going on for many days now. If this goes on, the crops that our citizens have grown will die, and it’ll be a tough year ahead.”

Cultivators could survive without food and water, but the commoners could not.

A powerful blizzard was all it could take for countless people to lose their source of living.

“Station cultivators at each tribe to aid the people. Also, I’ve shared with you the Greenhouse Technique before. Is it effective in protecting our crops?”

The Greenhouse Technique was a solution Chu Kuangren found to protect the tribe’s crops against blizzards by allowing their crops to survive under a sustainable temperature.

“The Greenhouse Technique is effective, but we have too many crops scattered across our lands. We can only protect a part of it for now. If this snowstorm continues, I’m afraid the Greenhouse Technique won’t last long either,” Yan Wu said worryingly.

“No worries. The snowstorm won’t last any longer.”

Chu Kuangren said before he stood and stared into the distance. “I’ve said that I will pay them a visit, and it seems like they’ve gotten too excited for it. This blizzard is their way of signaling an invitation to me.”

Yan Wu was appalled when he understood what Chu Kuangren meant. “You mean, this blizzard is the doings of the gods?”

“Heh. Aren’t they the best at manipulating natural phenomena like these?” Chu Kuangren chuckled.

He then glared ahead coldly.

By the side, Yan Wu could feel the temperature dipping even further.

Despite being an Emperor, he felt a shiver down his spine.

“King, do you require manpower from the Antigod Pavilion?”

The Antigod Pavilion was the main source of humanity’s strength.

Most of the Heavenly Imperials who existed in that era were part of the Antigod Pavilion, and these people would readily serve at Chu Kuangren’s discretion.

“There’s no need for that. I’ll visit them myself.”

Chu Kuangren said as he put on a coat that was lying at the side. In just a few steps, he vanished into the void.
