Chapter 89

For the Human race, after Fuxi ascended to his position, Lie Shan became the new Human Sovereign and began to govern the people. With his outstanding talent and the guidance of his master, Our Lady of Wudang, Lie Shan managed the Human race with great order, maintaining the prosperity established during Fuxi’s reign. However, problems soon followed. Previously, the humans survived by fishing with nets, setting traps for wild beasts, or gathering wild fruits, relying on the abundant resources of the Great Wilderness, which were sufficient to meet their needs. But as the strength of the Human race grew, their population surged. With the popularization of the Martial Dao, people’s demand for food increased significantly to sustain their physical vitality. This led to a massive problem: there was not enough food to go around. As the saying goes, "The people regard food as their heaven, and of all things, eating is the greatest." Survival was a matter of life and death for the Human race. Faced with this crisis, Lie Shan did not dare to be negligent; he immediately brought his officials along to research a solution to the food shortage.
