At this moment, Nuwa stepped forward with graceful, light steps. Her figure, as airy as a swallow, made her seem like a celestial maiden descending to earth. Stopping before Fuxi, she spoke with a radiant smile, "Congratulations, Brother, on attaining the Dao!" Her voice was sweet and gentle, like a warm spring breeze sweeping across Fuxi's heart. Fuxi looked at Nuwa, his eyes filled with brotherly affection, and replied softly, "Thank you, Sister. From this day forth, I am the Heavenly Emperor of the Human Race, no longer the Demon race's Emperor Xi. Hereafter, my heart and soul belong solely to humanity." His voice was firm and resonant, declaring his unwavering loyalty and resolve to the Human Race.
Having said this, Fuxi turned his gaze toward Shennong. His expression grew solemn, his eyes filled with hope and trust. "Shennong, from this day forward, you shall succeed me as the Common Sovereign of the Human Race. This is a heavy mantle of responsibility. I trust you will pave a path forward for our people and lead them to prosperity." His voice echoed across the square, every word carrying a profound strength that stirred Shennong's heart.
Dropping to one knee with swift, clean precision, Shennong demonstrated his unwavering resolve. "I, Shennong, will do my utmost to fulfill this trust, and I shall not fail you, Senior!" he declared. His voice rang out clear and strong, as if swearing an oath to heaven and earth.
