Feng Shen Xian was born before the beginning of mythology. She witnessed the birth of mythology and the dawn of history, and died in the Industrial Age.
The main idea is pretty much what the title says, or you could put it this way: evolving from beast to human.
This shares a world with Immortality. The protagonist is Feng Shen Xian of the Fu Zhu tribe, a Wind God who was only briefly mentioned in that story.
Important content warnings:
1. This is a fictional world, with an ocean of author-created details. The fictional planet has several continents, and all kinds of intelligent species, with lifespans ranging from immortal species that live tens of thousands of years to short-lived species that live around a hundred. The protagonist is a long-lived species with a lifespan of five thousand years. However, all the intelligent species on the continent where she was born are short-lived, with lifespans of one hundred to two or three hundred years. She is an extremely rare case of atavism: one of her ancestors from thousands of generations ago was long-lived, and thousands of generations later, whether due to a genetic mutation or atavism, she was born with the same lifespan as that ancestor. Having never encountered another long-lived being, she believed she was a monster until the first Age of Discovery.
2. The protagonist was born in the age of primitive clans, when intelligent beings were not very different from beasts. As a result, her early values differ from those of modern people, if primitive people even had such a thing as morality.
3. The protagonist is not a transmigrator, but a native of this world. The relationship between her and her times is not one of her changing the times, but of the times changing her. The evolution of civilization will gradually strip away her beastly nature and give her humanity. But because she is the one being changed by civilization, some of her views in different periods may seem reactionary, such as supporting slavery in the age of slavery and supporting feudal landlords in the feudal landlord era.
4. What is the main plot? There isn't one. The protagonist is a human-shaped, self-propelled camera, traveling everywhere. Over five thousand years, she will witness sages from different eras on two continents, watching how they think and advance civilization. Each sage will leave their mark on her. When all these marks come together, they will shape the person she becomes: one who could be called either human or god.
5. The protagonist is not an overpowered heroine. The longer she lives, the more she enjoys amusing herself. She is the sort of person who might become a beggar because life is too boring. She is not an idealist either. At least before successive generations of sages take turns reshaping her, she lives simply to stay alive.
6. The protagonist is not faithful to one partner for life. You can't expect someone born in an era of primitive group marriage to have modern ideas about marriage. The institution of marriage is more than a thousand years younger than she is. Her understanding of relationships between men and women is based on group marriage. So early on, she will have several partners at once. But as primitive clan society breaks down, she will adapt to the changing times and be with only one man at a time. She will break up with her current partner before finding another, so there will be no cheating, but she might break up with one man and accept another the very next minute.
7. The protagonist is a face-con, and she loves beautiful people. She will marry, and marry many times, but most of her marriages will not last a lifetime. Unless she is attracted to a man's soul, she will definitely divorce him as soon as she sees even the slightest sign of aging on his face.
8. The protagonist does not believe in monogamy. She herself will stop having several partners at once as the times change, but she won't mind if her spouse has a whole harem of wives and concubines. She will get along well with the concubines and won't bully them. If a concubine is especially beautiful, look up the story behind the phrase
As women's genes become more and more docile, skinny, and weak in self-awareness, men will also be greatly affected. Among the two sex chromosomes of men, the X chromosome comes from the mother. What's more, in a patriarchal society, men rarely raise their children themselves. They are all raised by their mothers. How can children not be affected by adults? Boys raised by thin, self-conscious, docile mothers are unlikely to produce good children unless they have a genetic mutation.
I had seen the Liangzhu Cultural Exhibition before, but I didn't expect the survivors to be so able to run away.
In fact, I think the spread of the myth of the Queen Mother of the West is related to the Zhou people, because Kunlun, where the Queen Mother of the West is located, is too remote. If it were spread normally, it would not have such a big influence in the Central Plains. It may be that the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty spread the myth of the Queen Mother of the West. After all, the Zhou people were also a tribe in the west.

I don't know how to describe the goddess Nuwa. Her status is too high and her achievements must be very rich. Her prototypes are also masters of invention. The legend of wine is also related to Nuwa, and the most important thing is to control water. It feels like in ancient times, if you wanted to make a name for yourself, it was more or less related to water control.
It would be more in line with the education she received.
Yes, men are not that important.
Dad, do you still remember Pili? 😂
Ruf's wheat hybridized itself, and Rufkoski was just the discoverer. Self-pollinating plants also rely on wind for pollination. Many goat grasses are weeds that often grow in fields, so the probability of natural hybridization between them and wheat is not low.
Although they are all self-pollinating, wheat can easily hybridize. The genus Triticum has six species according to genetic classification, but four species are hybrids. The original diploid wheats are Urartuum and echinacea, which are primitive species that naturally differentiated. Tetraploid wheat is emmer wheat and timophivi wheat, both of which are hybrids of Urartu wheat and goat grass. The hexaploids are Triticum aestivum and Ru's wheat, which is a cross between Triticum timophivii and Triticum aestivum. The yield of ordinary wheat is already at the ceiling level, so hybrid wheat focuses on disease and insect resistance. Wheat does not use the three-line method but distant hybridization.
