Background & History
The Human Race was created by Nuwa and initially lived in scattered tribes along the East Sea Shore. Its first great leaders were Suiren Shi, who taught fire-making; Youchao Shi, who taught the construction of shelters; and Ziyi Shi, who taught clothing from hides and leaves. Their contributions allowed humanity to endure cold, beasts, and hunger, and they became revered as the Three Great Human Progenitors. 134
Taishang entered human territory after his Primordial Violet Qi reacted to the race's presence. He observed humanity's intelligence and taught the simplified Golden Core Great Dao, including breathing methods, moral conduct, and bodily cultivation. After realizing that humanity needed more than techniques—a shared doctrine, education, faith, and inheritance—he established the Human Religion and attained sainthood through humanity's Fortune. 134 137 139 140
Under the support of the Three Ancestors, Huang Tian united the formerly scattered tribes beneath a Common Lord system and became the first Human Emperor. The Kongtong Seal manifested during his enthronement, consolidating the race's Fortune and providing a central symbol of human authority. 188
The Demon Race later abducted, imprisoned, and slaughtered humans on a mass scale, extracting their Essence Blood to forge Witch-Slaying Weapons against the Wu Clan. This persecution transformed the Human Race from a protected but vulnerable people into an organized force seeking vengeance and survival. 253 255 256
Huang Tian's defense of a devastated tribe revealed the Human Dao's potential. Drawing upon the will of the Human Race, he manifested the Human Dao Dharma Body, shattered Bloodbeak Demon God's true form, and exposed the Demon Race's campaign of blood harvesting. Humanity subsequently gathered at Kongtong Mountain, allied with the Wu Clan and the Three Teachings, and marched against the Demon Heavenly Court. 279 281 287 291
After the Witch and Demon Races withdrew from the Primordial World's central stage, humanity entered a period of rapid growth. Its population, territory, cultivation practices, and civilization spread throughout habitable regions, while Huang Tian persuaded Zhen Yuanzi to join the race ahead of the Universe Devouring Great Tribulation. 398 439 470
The Heavenly Dao later decreed the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, signaling humanity's destined prosperity. Their Dao attainments strengthened the Human Race's Destiny, while their combined presence in the Human Emperor Realm formed a continuing protective foundation for the race. 482 497 537
When humanity obtained Primordial Violet Qi, its leaders rejected the simple path of producing a Heavenly Dao Saint. Instead, Huang Tian and the ancient sages chose to establish the Human Path: a Dao founded on humanity's own fire, dwellings, clothing, farming, writing, governance, and collective refusal to submit. Taishang released the Human Religion's imprint from humanity's source Fortune, and Nuwa returned the creation-linked Fortune to the race. 629 631 634 638
A century later, Huang Tian used Primordial Violet Qi as the foundation to establish the Human Path. The Heavenly Dao responded with Chaos Divine Thunder, but the Three Ancestors, Three Sovereigns, and Five Emperors resisted together; Nuwa and Taishang each intervened, and Niu Ben destroyed the final Dutian Divine Thunder. Huang Tian then became the Human Path Saint, securing humanity's independent standing. 681 682 686
