Background

The Human Race was born in accordance with destiny and possesses the Innate Dao Body, making its members naturally close to the origin of the Great Dao. Their aptitude, low resource dependence, and exceptional reproductive capacity allow them to multiply and cultivate at extraordinary speed. 40

Its earliest generations endured a hostile Primordial World, where tribes faced ferocious beasts, demon attacks, and disasters capable of killing billions. The race nevertheless developed methods of survival and civilization: the Innate Eight Trigrams for divination, marriage rites, record-keeping, music, agriculture, writing, calendars, and the Nine Provinces. 78 91

The Three Human Ancestors established the race's basic footing by teaching survival skills, agriculture, laws, and governance. The Three Sovereigns later strengthened its cultural and political foundation: Fuxi derived the Innate Eight Trigrams, Shennong tasted herbs and established the five grains, and Xuanyuan developed rites, music, punishments, names, and calendrical order. 490 699

Despite being recognized as the protagonist of Heaven and Earth, the Human Race was gradually weakened after the Investiture of the Gods. Its Fortune Divine Dragon dispersed, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were confined to Huoyun Cave, and the Three Ancestors were restricted to the Ancestral Land. The Saints and Dao Ancestor Hongjun are portrayed as suppressing the race to prevent its renewed rise. 491 550 605

Story Role / Major Arcs

Decline after the Investiture of the Gods

Although nominally the protagonist race, the Human Race loses its Fortune Divine Dragon and becomes increasingly constrained by the Saints and Heavenly Dao. Its senior figures are isolated, while its fortune is treated as a resource to be harvested. 491 550 551

Alliance with Daoist Qingping

Li Tian enters the Human Race under the name Daoist Qingping, earning trust by teaching cultivation, healing illnesses, and assisting ordinary clanspeople. He warns the Three Ancestors that the race's decline will culminate in calamity unless it rebuilds its Human Dao. 490 491 551

The Three Ancestors and Ying Zheng ultimately accept his proposal to recast the Human Dao Fortune Divine Dragon, entering an alliance with him despite the danger of provoking the Heavenly Dao and Saints. 492 493 553

Mount Tai Fengshan and the Human Dao Revival

After Ying Zheng unifies the Human Race tribes, the Mount Tai Fengshan ceremony is used to gather scattered Human Dao Fortune through the Kongtong Seal. The re-forming Fortune Divine Dragon alarms Hongjun and prompts open resistance from the Saints. 555 600 605

The Human Dao eventually solidifies, and the Kongtong Seal evolves into an Innate Supreme Treasure. This marks the race's separation from the Heavenly Dao Camp and frees the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors from their restraints. 632 634

War against the Heavenly Court

The Heavenly Court attempts to suppress the resurgence through engineered disasters, including months of torrential rain caused by the Four Sea Dragon Kings. The Human Race confronts Haotian at the Immortal Peach Gathering and later declares open war. 649 656 665

Under Ying Zheng, Li Tian, Bai Qi, and other commanders, Human Race forces breach the South Heaven Gate, advance into the Heavenly Court, and defeat its defenders. 706 714 717

The campaign culminates in Haotian's capture and the Human Race's seizure of the Heavenly Court, with Ying Zheng ascending its throne. 739

Defense of the New Order

After taking the Heavenly Court, the Human Race governs the Three Realms while rebuilding order and expanding its military strength. Its rise provokes fear and resentment among other races. 813 864

The revived Demon Race becomes the most immediate threat due to its ancient blood feud with humanity. The Human Heavenly Court prepares decisive action to prevent the demons from regaining enough strength to challenge Human Race rule. 815 862 863

Trivia

• The Human Race's rise is repeatedly linked to wisdom, cultural development, unity, and cultivation potential rather than simple divine favor. 599 699
• At the Mount Tai ceremony, at least twenty Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals are openly deployed in the Human Race's defensive formation, while further strength remains concealed. 600
